i. think. things are heralded he's still with washington the taliban killed over 20 soldiers and police in afghanistan while the u.s. response to the airstrikes. border police clashed with asylum seekers at the turkish border as a round with an grove of refugees people r.t. spent a night at the front of thousands of people scrambled to reach the e.u. try even out towards the front here in the hope of getting a sense of what's going to happen as we were trying to build. this my cameraman being school teacher. looks like ministry personnel. former u.s. vice president joe biden scores several big wins during super tuesday the democrats

his vital voting day mostly at the expense of progressive tony saunders who supporters say the party establishment ganging up to get rid of him. and coping with coronavirus quarantine artie's more advanced you have described his 2 weeks in self isolation at home in russia after a trip to hong kong. when they 1st. i thought would be like. as if. it is a. very warm welcome to you you're watching r t international with me in the care and our top story this hour there are supposed to be a path towards peace between the u.s. and the taliban right now but that appears to be on raveling this wednesday washington has conducted an hour. airstrike against the islamist group in

afghanistan's helmand province has off this series of deadly taliban attacks overnight which killed more than 20 afghan soldiers and police officers and all with the ink barely dry on a peace accord the national reports. a historic peace deal we heard that will pave the way to peace and prosperity in afghanistan we heard it took 19 years to come to this point and of course needless to say the world expected a lot plus just hours before donald trump was on a phone call with the taliban's leader and the group's chief negotiator but a 35 minute conversation and here i can agree of truly historic moment a direct contact between a u.s. leader and its senior taliban official here's donald trump talking about we had a very good conversation with the leader of the taliban today. they're looking to get this and we're looking to get it and we had a good long conversation today and. they want to seize the violence and now we see

the u.s. responding with an airstrike that they present as a move of self defense unclear why since the taliban never attacked the americans that it is agreement include they withdraw all of u.s. troops and its nato allies from afghanistan there are still 12000 around 12000 soldiers and officers stationed in afghanistan and that is seen as a positive move by so many as a trust building measure as they said the taliban was promised to see $5000.00 common political prisoners released promised by who by washington so what basically happened is that washington promised something it cannot guarantee and plus it has 0 soroti to do the result if get a government does not seem to agree. there is no commitment to release $5000.00 prisoners i have shared this with dr colleagues this is the right and the decision

of the people of afghanistan they have requested it it could be included in the agenda of the interim afghan talks but it cannot be a prerequisite for talks. it sounds like a person for a parallel reality you know another one. world then you have to remember that there ghana crisis is a very complex one there are many sides involved and what is desperately needed for peace and prosperity is to see all these parties involved on the same page and this is by the way something that moscow has been trying to do so many times bringing all these parties including the government the taliban to more to seat and talk and discuss you know the agreement so most group also was very happy to see this you know finally historic peace deal and don't trump was not the only one this peace deal was praised as a victorious one this is really. a way in relations to proceed so that they are really in comprehensive these are the this is the core piece

on the ground. so what we can see is that the situation on the ground in afghanistan is getting more and more dramatic it's escalating the violence is escalating and if this is a victory i don't know what a defeat should look like. middle east expert on journalist ali risk thinks the afghan government might leverage the attacks to its advantage but i think it is very home to my neck and i think to the final recall if you will. when it comes to do you make a good president from trying to party. with actually i think that he has attempted to make or not just might be that there are divisions within the taliban. who are against this agreement. with. any possible progress which could have big night up until now the talks before on america with the taliban. are going to go up and then they're very much and to be

up now to go so i think that we are learning. a little hole to take the opportunity to respond to all of that can be trusted and also they are going to go. maybe it's role. be in china. because the american history has proven that it. could be. any progress in a situation. clashes have broken out of the border between greece and turkey with greek police using tear gas and stun grenades to drive back asylum seekers attempting to cross into the e.u. according to turkish officials one person was killed and 5 others wounded by live fire from the greek side a claim that athens has fiercely denied thousands of displaced people have been amassing along the border after turkey said it would no longer prevent refugees

from attempting to head to europe greece says that it will turn back migrants attempting to crosses borders illegally and have suspended asylum applications for a month artie's its holiday bensky drive along the border on choose day night to see the desperation of those stuck in the impact. come further down south we're still on the greek so i did the border with turkey we're in a town called fairies and i just want you to get a sense of the action that's happening all around us we're just outside the town hall the local mayor's office and it looks like people are gathering here in the anticipation of going to wards the turkish border and forming some kind of human chain tonight to ensure that there are no illegal crossings only work for turkey we know that since saturday more than 24000 people have attempted to cross the border who are hoping to speak to the local mayor to find out how he in this town are going to deal with it.

so we didn't get to speak to them he wasn't here tonight but we did get to speak to many of the people who were taking part in that. sachin and they all seem to be pretty tense knew the mood was full of tension in fact one guy said to me you can feel it. everybody is here tonight because we want to help greece protect its borders from any kind of illegal migration we see people from bangladesh afghanistan anywhere from places that have nothing to do with war and they come to our country essentially the e.u. we think europe should change its stance and contribute to send a strong message to turkey the largest political policies of previous years that these people to enter our country without carrying any permit for documents was a very big mistake and created issues of inequality greece is not it is european country but europe should support it because until now greece has not been

supported we've left the town the whole now we're driving out towards the front in the hope of getting a sense of what's going to happen on the border overnight to get a sense of what this human chain to protect the greek borders from anybody trying to cross that they believe it's going to be a line so we're just coming up to a checkpoint. where they're stopping us. yes. right now you just official we have to turn around just ok so we're being told we have to turn around we can't go any further. far out for various we spoke the greek call me in what looks like illegal migrants on this side of the road. we've had a chat with the offices they said we can't film but they have confirmed that they

found the 2 illegal immigrants trying to cross the where we are in the square planned the hind and they told us that 2 individuals from afghanistan to receive an eye. date from the volunteers who are not securing the greek food and the affair is a video showing the migrants camped out on the border. as we were trying to film. we were stopped this my cameraman being scooped it up by what looks like a military personnel to watch the border. so just an update on that situation all that's been smooth but we have moved away from the border because of see we don't want to create more tension with the security personnel that are there but it gives you

a sense of how much tension there is here given the fact that the volunteers are out willing to be in the middle of nowhere in the way to secure their borders the fact that we were told not to come anywhere near the border that the greek prime minister said this week that his country wouldn't be blackmailed by turkey and he said that they would do everything possible to stop an invasion of migrants crossing the border illegally and that is exactly what we're seeing in towns like this that ability for people to take up their own norms and to go to the borders to protect greece from anybody trying to cross even stevie r.t. in ferris. the super tuesday results are currently coming in as the democratic party's biggest test rebels who voters want as they u.s. presidential pick 14 states are deciding of the most significant one day barometer

of where things are heading for the candidates well so far former vice president joe biden has taken 9 states while progressive senator bernie sanders has tops the polls in 3 the biggest prize is california which has the most delegates up for grabs voting still underway there with sondos currently leading before super tuesday got on the way to contenders dropped out encouraging their supporters to now get behind joe biden. i am ending my campaign and endorsing joe biden in that i am looking for a president who will draw out what is best in each of us and i'm encouraging everybody who's part of my complain to join me because we have found a leader in vice president soon to be president joe biden march 3rd. 2020. i will be casting my ballot for joe biden in the well a common thread throughout the scramble so far as to get the democratic nomination

is for devival to take aim at bunny tsongas cannibal pin breaks down that aspect off the campaign it's been a long winter for the democrats they've been feeling the cold burn oh you know we know you believe the law in the was there to hear your progress in the 43. years we now live in. the a but now as the spring rolls in the party has descended into panic i think it's a little late to stop for that i think does the problem the game it is pretty much over reading last night about the fall of france in the summer of 1940 and then general reno cause of churchill and says it's over can either coronavirus or bernie sanders be stopped totally transform society with firing squads dungeons torture

and exile so he's been pretty clear that's what he supports morning standards but stopping the burning machine is not an easy task after all most rank and file democrats more or less agree with his policies so here's how the operation has moved forward. the reds are coming trigger those cold war terrorists socialism is a threat to him. american freedom see that hammer and sickle and be afraid be very very afraid i believe if castro and the red said won the cold war there would be executions in central park and i might have been one of the ones getting executed and certain other people would be there cheering let's not forget that bernie sanders once praised cuba's achievements in terms of literacy and health care were very opposed to be authoritarian nature of cuba but you know it's unfair to simply say everything is but you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a massive literacy program is not

a bad thing after 4 years of looking on in horror as trump cozied up to dictators we need a president who will be extremely clear in standing against regimes that violate human rights abroad we can't risk nominating someone who doesn't recognize this fidel castro and if a dog legacy of forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people but sure bernie let's talk about his literacy program but most millenniums don't even remember the cold war communism doesn't really scare them and socialism certainly doesn't so time for plan b. . now bernie sanders is accused of splitting an already weak and fractured democratic party why we would risk this extraordinary opportunity by nominating somebody who has a tendency to divide their own side is beyond me furthermore sanders is accused of having views that just won't fly in a general election the face of the democratic policy might be spouting things

that's absolutely nothing material voters but this narrative doesn't seem to work either. so now bernie sanders is accused of being a russian plot to undermine american democracy this claim is repeated by other presidential candidates as well as robert o'brien the national security adviser and his sources are a named though these reports that the they want bernie sanders to get elected president that's no surprise he honeymooned moscow and it turns out that in fact bernie sanders once even visited russia you know years ago back when it was called the soviet union yeah that's pretty old news scraping the barrel let's go on to plan d. . time to unite behind joe candidates are dropping out perhaps a bit prematurely and putting their energy behind joe biden does come up a little bit and i don't know what's up with. the good trying to take it away from

i don't know if that's fair but i guess it's politics when you get right down to it what's fair why throw in the towel so early well they've got to do everything in their power to defeat bernie sanders in 2016 leaked e-mails revealed by wiki leaks show that the d.n.c. went guns blazing to end his bid for the white house now will they be so lucky the 2nd time caleb mop and archie new york you know nearly as opposed to new york city council hopeful monica who thinks the democratic party's national committee is doing only current to do rail saunders his chances. democrats everybody falls in line they line up so perfectly everybody. you know throws their way to support biden so you know in that in that respect you sort of see how you know the democratic parties are coalescing and micromanaging every way that they can support. and you know i see it you know bernie sanders he said the system was

rigged you can see how it's being rigged against him former democratic chair donna brazil got into a heated exchange after a suggestion that the democratic convention wouldn't be rigged against we can listen together to just what was said hello of our race i get sick and tired and for people to use russian talking points to so division among americans that is stupid so wrong to go to hell that is completely absurd i mean this is the same donna brazil who would pass the questions to hillary clinton so hillary would have you know an unfair advantage in the debates against her instanter so i mean that this is completely absurd and it's actually really really infuriating because what it is is you know it's really the democratic party trying to cover their tracks and really not so well in the fact that they're really working against you know bernie

sanders who really essentially you know a real contender and possibly the front runner. as nation scramble to stem the spread of coronavirus and hit home the hygiene message here in russia there are so far 6 confirmed cases dozens are in quarantine and under observation all senior correspondent has just completed 2 weeks of self isolation at home that was following a trip to hong kong he told us what the experience was like and about the other measures russia is taking to keep infections a bay. one of the things you could do you realize as a bearded man is you just look silly in the face mask but this is my only 7 year from hong kong my trip to hong kong and i was only there for a few days while i was there there were hardly any infections or in the weeks since but coming back to moscow the medics here really didn't care so you're treated like anyone else and our 1st taste of what was the cup was still in the player when

a lady came aboard and this is while we were still in the plane having landed she took all our measurements are temperatures and she was in full has maggie and so we walked past passport control into the baggage area and that is where the real party started i mean there were dozens and dozens of medics in full hazmat get covered head to toe taking down everything about us what we did who we were with where we were this is all part of a huge russian effort to make sure that the 19 virus didn't gain a foothold here the monitoring of the epidemiological situation was organized from the initial days of this complex situation additional measures were taken to strengthen sanitary in quarantine control at checkpoints across the russian border 6 new cases of corona virus infections were recorded during the monitoring period in all cases a full range of necessary and see epidemic measures was organized which prevented the subsequent spread of the infection. when they

1st mentioned quarantine i thought it be like a mini vacation you get to sit at home and as it turns out it isn't at all so he calls throughout the day starting in the morning for medics asking how you're feeling when there are any symptoms cough or whatever you also had visited by police and medics just to check up on you to make sure that you were still at home i mean eventually out of sheer boredom with the terms of the quarantine agreement that i signed at the airport and the penalties are pretty severe so for example if if you leave the house to go to the shop which you can then you just leave and nothing nothing happens well that starts a fire and potentially community service if you leave the house or apartment the quarantines old and you infect someone adds up to a year in jail a year in jail if you infect someone and they go on to die that is up to 5 years

in prison which is a pretty severe punishment to. a lot of fear i would say panic would around the world and in russia as well which is which isn't being helped by the fact that there's a lot of misinformation misleading information on the internet for example one russian sub security company for example as identified a message being repeated online that is spreading misinformation and there are people out there that you know enjoying this. lenna good evening i have some bad news there really want to save the people i care about i beg you to spread this information as much as possible if our thora days do not want to inform us about this will have to inform each other about this leaked information there are 20000 patients with corona virus in moscow walk with masks don't go to crowded places

take care of each other and stock up on food unfortunately it's sad that shops will be empty this information is more than reliable. the end of the day it's just common sense don't follow advice that you read on the internet and read it for example followed by that you hear from doctors wash your hands regularly don't touch your face as a bit of personal advice that i can give you if you've got a trip lined up in the immediate future to a place where there's been an outbreak don't go the coroner team isn't worth it. meanwhile it's least 19 death toll has now overtaken iraq giving it the highest number of states high seas outside of china the country's answer news agency is reporting that the all thora teams in rome are considering closing schools and universities nationwide in an attempt to contain the virus the world health

organization has said that worldwide there are more than $90000.00 people currently infected at least $65.00 countries health officials at the w.h.o. are also encouraging the public to avoid excessive personal contacts including handshakes and kisses on the cheek it's 3 published advice illustrating that a search shake or elbow could perhaps replace more traditional greetings well there was some u.s. senators testing out the elbow and i'll turn it if as they met 2 women who have been cleared to leave quarantine while this measure may be effective there are some other suggestions doing the rounds which should be well avoided. it is understandable that you may feel anxious about the outbreak the parts. i hope you are critically determined you reach so that you can take reasonable.

with misinformation and advice overload and no shortage of anxiety in the mix too reports the other technology consultant norman lewis and microbiology research and patel to share their expertise. compared to other respiratory viruses such as influenza this wire is relatively novel and new to us related

coronaviruses such as sars and murderers. do you. prevalence i think many countries have been caught off guard i don't think this was an expected thing that a lot of people were predicting i think you need balance if you take something out to colossus' which is a very very low and dangerous virus illness last year there were $1200000.00 deaths from tuberculosis close is right for example in the u.k. are going up i don't see anybody wearing masks about you since i don't see trains being stopped eventually cities being locked down in the world that we live in right now especially with their travel patterns that most people follow it becomes extremely difficult to contain. such a virus especially one that transmitted respiratory really i think a lot of ordinary people are concerned about this and should be concerned i mean it

is a very real and disease but it's not and it's not on the scale of some of the things that already exist i think the overreaction to this and if you want to see and overreaction just look at the stock markets 6 trillion dollars lost last year rights of selling of stock markets at the level of the great depression almost a century ago and the real impact of that is going to be far greater than anything this virus is going to do if your state stared home self or intervening. and i realize a lot of people are busy and some people cannot afford to stay home and they're sick. i think some of the choices that some of these decisions that we have to make as a society come down to individual households with on the verge of martial law being in the lead as a way of containing this is if 500000 people are going to die from this in the u.k.

in the next couple of months this is not based on anything. if you share your thoughts on the day stories by following us on social media we're back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines. thousands of american men and women she was just seen of in their country's military decision. every thing came to a complete. the day that i was raped and. you know told to shut up what they kill me and i see i would destroy. any screamed at me and he made me come in and you graham my arm and he write me with his birth ink area if you take into account

that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the u.s. military is a very very traumatizing thing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or when. it's seems wrong. just don't hold. any belief yet to shape out just they become educated and gain from it equals betrayal.

when something find themselves worlds apart. she still look for common ground. hello and welcome to cross where all things considered i'm peter lavelle the corona virus is a global health danger that is yet to be contain this fire is has also raised questions about the integrity of supply chain.
