we're going to have to bear market valuations down 20 percent probably i think the likelihood is extremely high 50 to 60 percent drop that's probably a 10 to 20 percent probability. a new front runner in the u.s. democrats raised to take on donald trump joe biden sweep super tuesday but he is facing a backlash as well over his iraq war policies. they're ready to. eat might find any. peace deal with washington the taliban kills more than 20 soldiers and police in afghanistan while the u.s. responds with airstrikes. and greek police clash with asylum seekers at the turkish border as a round with over refugees spent a night a frontier thousands of people scrambled to reach the e.u.

trying to watch the front in the hope of getting a sense. as we were trying to film we've stopped this my cameraman being schoolteacher. looks like a ministry. of broadcasting live direct from our studios this is our t.v. international hunch on thomas certainly glad to have you with us now former u.s. vice president joe biden has taken the reins of the democrats a candidate race for the 2020 election he is now the front runner after a stunning comeback on so-called super tuesday biden won 10 of the 14 states up for grabs while progressive senator bernie sanders claimed 4 including california the state with the most delegates following super tuesday polls biden is now the clear leader in what is fast becoming a 2 man race but some of his earlier decisions could be coming back to haunt him

after 2 u.s. veterans confronted biden over his support of the iraq war. but it really. was rocky. i find. myself going back to. the art oh yes we are and. you don't do it meanwhile michael bloomberg has announced he is ending his run for the democratic 2020 presidential nomination after suffering a wipeout in super tuesday voting the billionaire and former new york mayor has now thrown his support behind breaking down developments here as artie's came up. after a poor showing on super tuesday when 14 different us states voted in the presidential primary michael bloomberg seems to be ending his campaign now this is

after spending roughly half a $1000000000.00 on his presidential campaign the most expensive primary campaign in the history of the united states and many looked on and saw the amount of money bloomberg was spending the fact that he had advertisements on the super bowl and on many different places just the ads were popping up all over social media etc then joked about it but many also worry that 'd it appeared almost that michael bloomberg was attempting to buy the democratic nomination let's take a listen we say that mayor bloomberg. we. see and i look your docket up gardner selected bloomberg certainly had his detractors donald trump was known for criticizing bloomberg for his height calling him many mike many others i'm in the

democratic camp are critical of his policies when he was the new york city mayor they pointed out issues like police brutality stop and frisk that took place under his administration furthermore revelations about sexism and activities in his businesses and some of the culture of sexual harassment when he worked in the business sector in the private sector out of that was pointed out as well and at this point as he's dropped out it seems like he's giving his supporters a message this is what he had to say 3 months ago i entered the race for president to do if you don't know trump today i'm leaving the race for the same reason to defeat donald trump because it is clear to me that staying in would make it shooting that go more difficult mike bloomberg followed the pattern of other recent drop outs of the democratic primary putting all his weight by. joe biden take a listen i am ending my campaign and endorsing joe biden i.

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 campaign to join me because we have found a leader in vice president soon to be president joe biden now at this point we've got many figures in the democratic establishment or lining up behind jill biden many observers are viewing this as a sensually an effort to defeat and stop bernie sanders the upsurge of support for bernie sanders is seen as a threat to the democratic party establishment i think there was there's certainly been a concerted effort as far as i can tell by what we could call moderates in the democratic party to try to find a candidate behind whom they can unite and that was the would be vice president biden's so i would be very surprised if pressure had not been brought to bear on on both a jazz club char and bloomberg to get out of the race i think most democratic party

officials so quickly those elected officials their biggest concern is not actually defeating donald trump it's making sure that they stay reelected this is why i think so many people in the democratic party were really concerned about senator sanders being the nominee it's it's not just that he would not be able to defeat donald trump but that he might cause severe reaction among voters with many of the down ticket democratic candidates well joe biden was propelled into pole position on super tuesday senator elizabeth warren's campaign was dealt a crippling blow and she failed to place in the top 2 in any of the 14 voting states and is under pressure from bernie sanders supporters to drop out of the competition to avoid splitting the progressive vote president trump couldn't resist taking a dig either. so selfish for elizabeth warren to stay in the race she has 0 chance of even coming close to winning but hurts bernie badly so much for that wonderful liberal friendship will he ever speak to her again she cost him massachusetts and

came in 3rd he shouldn't. or ones a disappointment will likely be compounded by the fact that she finished a distant 3rd in her home state of massachusetts supporters of bernie sanders claim that her decision to stay in the race cost of the self-styled democratic socialist victories in 3 states and bigger wins in several others have also pointed out parallels 'd with the 2016 race in which warren accused the green party's jill stein of helping to sway the election in trump's favor. anything you do that helps donald trump get one inch closer to the white house is a danger charl of us vote 1st time moves donald trump closer to the white house would love to see the venn diagram of people who are still mad at jill stein for being a spoiler in 2016 and those now insisting that warren won't be helping by the name she stays in the race for the record if you're blaming warren for tonight's results

maybe you should reconsider your defense of voting for joe stein if a vote for jewel stein in 2016 was a vote for trump then a vote for warren today is a vote for joe biden sorry i didn't make the rules we spoke to a political analyst. about the democratic battle who described elizabeth warren's up fall from grace as karma for her earlier comments about the green party. i guess for elizabeth warren this is kind of karma but what we see that is the general chaos in the in the democratic party is quite clear that the democratic establishment they have a plan here they're trying to do is to is to is to advance a so-called centrist and that's exactly what they did coming out of south carolina the use of biden's win to south carolina to to create momentum and to encourage that and i think colin and amy. to from

minnesota to drop out so that all of the far it can be directed toward bernie sanders and a little bit want to play the role in that by state in the race completely devastated michael bloomberg but she also undermined the center of what the for the focus really should just be on elizabeth warren the focus should be on the kind of machinations coming from the democratic party to try to. do mine bernie sanders because we all know is anybody but bernie. there's supposed to be a power towards peace between the u.s. and the taliban right now but that appears to be unraveling this wednesday washington has conducted an airstrike against the islamist group in afghanistan's helmand province after a series of deadly taliban attacks overnight which killed more than 20 afghan soldiers and police officers and all with event barely dry on

a peace accord parties more if national and across developments for us. a historic peace deal we hurried 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 i got a 35 minute call. and here i can agree of truly historic moment a direct contact between a u.s. leader and his 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. 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

set of these agreement include they will draw 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 your authority to do the result you get a government does not seem to agree each now there is no commitment to release 5000 prisoners i have shared this with dr colleagues this is the right and the decision of the people of afghanistan that they have requested it so 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 from

a parallel reality you know another world then you have to remember that the again a 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 has been trying to do so many times bringing all these parties including the government the tally burn to more scope 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 to ensure that in the british secrecy city everything comprehensive or we achieve this is for peace on the ground. so what we can see is that the situation on the ground in afghanistan is get more and more dramatic it's

a skill late in the violence is escalating and if this is a victory i don't know what the defeat should look like. journalist alley risk of thinks the afghan government might leverage the attacks to his advantage but i think it is very home to my nic i think it is hard to the final recall if you would lawyer when it comes to do making our president trying trying to strew party bigger deal maker but actually i think that he has attempted to make up a lot just might be that there are divisions within a polyp and that those who are against disagreement went there with these attacks in order to suffer any possible progress which could have been made up until now it looks a bit far because on america with the taliban extruding are going to go up and down they're very much anger at the atlanta government so i think that we are learning government now oh we'll also take the opportunity to criticize it this. can not be

trusted and also you have many government look elsewhere or others maybe to play a more important role in the art that it produces be it russia be a china beauty iran because that's what i said the american but the trumpeter strangely has proven that it's. how big should oil in going there are any progress in the situation and. clashes have broken out at the border between at greece and turkey with greek police using tear gas and stun grenades to try of back asylum seekers attempting to cross into the e.u. according to turkish officials one person was killed and 5 others wounded by a live fire from the greek side a claim that athens has a fiercely denied now thousands of displaced people have been massing along the border after turkey said it would no longer prevent refugees from attempting to head to europe and greece has said it will turn back migrants attempting to cross its borders illegally and has suspended asylum applications for

a month artie's. drove along the border on tuesday night to see the impact the crisis is having. come further down south we still on the greek so i did the border with turkey where newtown 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 war to the turkish border and forming some kind of human chain tonight to ensure that there are no illegal crossings from turkey we know that since saturday more than 24000 people have attempted to cross the border so we didn't get to speak to them he wasn't hit tonight but we did get to speak to many of the people who were taking part in that they sachin and they all seemed 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 documents would have a very big mistake and created issues of inequality greece is not alone it is european country europe should support it because until now greece is not going supported we've left the town the whole now we're driving out towards the front here 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 illegally it's going to be a line so we're just coming up to

a checkpoint now where they're stopping us. yes. but no use to. we have to turn around just ok so we're being told we have to turn around we can't go any further. not far out from ferris we spoke the greek on 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 software we are in the script land behind and they told us that 2 individuals from afghanistan to receive an update from the volunteers who are not securing the wood 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. looks like a ministry person out of the border. just an update on that situation all that's been smooth but we have moved away from the border because 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 nice digs. we seeing in towns like this that ability for people to take up their own norms and to go to the borders to greece for anybody trying to cross. our t. in ferris. as nations scramble to stem the spread of corona virus and hit home hygiene message here in russia there are so far 6 confirmed cases dozens are in quarantine and under observation our correspondent but our guys have has just completed 2 weeks of self isolation at home following a trip to hong kong he told us what the experience was like and about the other measures russia is taking it to keep infections are. 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 card was still in the play 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 makea 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 gear 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 1000 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 join 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 would 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 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 and you just leave and

nothing nothing happens well that's that's a fine potentially community service but if you leave the house or apartment the quarantine zone 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. 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 examples identified the messages being repeated online that is spreading misinformation and there are people out there that are you know enjoying this. lerna 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 does 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 to follow advice that you read on the internet and read it for example followed vies that you hear from doctors job wash your hands regularly don't judge your version 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 without a break don't go the quarantine isn't worth it.

slamming you efforts over a new law to cut carbon emissions teenage activists going to turn bird has been in brussels despite a ban on visits to the european parliament in an attempt to control the spread of coronavirus. when the e.u. presents this climate law and net 0 by 2050 you indirectly as me surrender when your house is something you don't wait a few more years to start putting it out. and yet this is what the commission are proposing today sessional it sends a strong signal that real sufficient action is taking place when in fact it is not . the ban on visitors to the european parliament came into force on monday over virus fears several lawmakers were angered questioning why it was allowed to make her speech everyone should be treated equally if the european parliament grants an

exception to granted to invoke this house will not be taken seriously my assistant is not allowed to come to the plenary session in strongs group next week but rather to look real busy tomorrow i deserted looking european parliament has banned all this it is due to the qana virus they are only exception great to thumb burke who will be here to do a press conference tomorrow on her own after her fellow fridays for future comperes won't be allowed in in light of the criticism an e.u. spokesperson denied any specific exceptions were made we spoke to m.e.p. nuno mello who was one of the lawmakers who questioned the decision to allow grettir's appearance. i have nothing against greg but i just do not accept. exception rejean these sheep more. who are reduced. any other person who has been from 'd the fall into in the parliament well i suppose not there are many credible scientists

there will be here speaking about climate science so why grant that. just because you choose malt question of all just because some people still think it leaves you with love just because she has more threats in her leg to talk about climate change at least until the scientists evolved a lot of what they say when i listen to i listen to them and see you know shit running around the world with her political agenda obviously but saying generally please check with is necessary to save the planet obviously we all say god is necessary to save the planet but you don't see the idea about what we must. look to really change something or about its impact because you are talking about people that must believe what talk about jobs or can come up in court news we're

talking about reasonably so i prefer the scientists. 33 minutes that's when i'll be back with a look at your headlines this is art international certainly glad to have you with us. the corona virus is a global health danger that is yet to be contain this fire and has also raised questions about the integrity of supply chains open borders and the weaknesses of globalization and dangerously this virus is being used as a political weapon. the feeding our hopes our dreams our desires our money to compete discreet what do we get back to our liking that's that's a bad deal so when this technology jumping out of this week when is the goal is he helping need to keep me healthy to keep me informed or to keep me you know
