a rob war policy. that it. was. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron it's great to have you with us now later this thursday in moscow the russian and turkish presidents are expected to discuss spiraling tensions in the deescalation zone in syria the country's armies are operating in close proximity to one another on opposing sides raising the risk of a direct clash well ahead of the meeting tempers boiled over in the turkish parliament m.p.'s from the ruling and rival parties brought after an opposition m.p. criticized president on the over the military intervention in syria and iran verbally hit back describing the opposition as dishonorable and treacherous the question.

turkish military operations. as for the fighting back in syria it's long seized to being a local conflicts between the government and insurgents maria phenomena looks at the other states weighing in and how it's affecting the region. and you wave of refugees flooding towards europe nato losing his patients turkey russia relations plunging to new lows this is all fallout from the evil of crisis serious last rebel held province dominated by terrorists is a province which is the largest al qaeda safe haven since $911.00 tied directly to iman also hearing this is a huge problem private seems to be a magnet for terrorist groups all of them are new sense of menace and a threat to the civilians damascus with russia's help us fight in them on the ground it says to protect civilians turkey one of the strongest army is alongside militant groups is fighting the syrian military on the syrian territory also it

claims to protect civilians. separating hardcore terrorists for a moderate armed groups opposing assad was turkey's responsibility according to 2018 memorandum but it was never done the result of almost 18 months of this agreement was the displacement of all moderate opposition militants by terror groups. the islamic party of take a stand and put aside deen officially recognized by the un as terrorists the fortified terrorist areas of the military turkish observation post as per the agreement doesn't bother turkey's nato partners nope not at all we support turkey's efforts to reestablish the ceasefire agreed in 2080 and to protect those innocent civilians fleeing the regime's monstrous assault the turkish military and the

syrian opposition are 1st of all fighting to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe tremendous a poor attempt but that's still not enough for at argonne he wants more. you know what we did is we opened our borders because you promised us assistance but did nothing and we will not close these doors because the e.u. must keep its word. if european countries want to resolve the issue they must support turkey's efforts for political and humanitarian solutions in syria where the one strategy seems to be working europe is considering how best to undermine russia's efforts in syria and this is the question now which also needs to be raised regarding syria where pretty much aware of what is doing and syria what's russia is doing is fighting extremists enable it it says but as the consecrate has

at least there is still room for dialogue political scientist monks abrams theys turkey's already failed in its previous agreement to separate terrorists from the moderate opposition in syria. this means your group. continues to be here and. offshoot of these are al qaeda linked militants here and i'm not even really sure that turkey regards as terrorists we're in sochi called for turkey to distance itself from these militants here to go after them into we can turkey actually go on the exact opposite it is strengthen their position it has worked more closely with them then ever before and i think that it's highly unlikely that burdwan will suddenly decide to to follow the terms of sochi these fighters in are absolutely critical

to let alone for him to project his power into syria which has been a long time called. when a solution for syria is worked on in moscow pep talk is the opposite border it's a different story turkish authorities came a man has died after greek forces opened fire at my quince trying to cross into the e.u. allegations greece environment me denies and recent days turkey has opened its border to allow through tens of thousands of refugees most of whom are thought to be syria . again.

europe could be looking at another my current crisis now that turkey has reopened dates buddhas with greece tens of thousands once more trying to cross into the even 5 years on from the peak of the 1st michel crisis this time there is less of a welcome video has emerged showing the greek coast guard firing on my current boats. here on with the land border there are accusations of brute force all denied by the greek authorities even germany is warning migrants not to come there is no point in coming to germany we cannot tell you when in germany everyone

agrees something like 20152016 crosses must not be repeated but that decision has been criticized by some quips in germany with protests demanding that the borders are kept take but 5 years ago. being welcomed by some e.u. leaders chancellor angela merkel famously said that they could come to germany and more than a 1000000 date now there was a steady stream of my currency teaching children and the elderly but the vast majority without a doubt way you. man many from countries like afghanistan and pakistan who appear to have heard moguls in flight and took their chance for a better life in europe the migrant crisis has since been a source of tension between e.u. members the open borders within the bloc were brought into question and while some

countries welcome at least sheltered the politicians called for all member nations to share the burden some countries were out right opposed. to very seriously about illegal migration which is a very central time of the european union it's a very central task for all of us as member states to stop illegal migration to europe and to develop local aid in the countries of origin or. possible future ahead of us must be defended by all means the greatest threat to the otherwise hopeful future of central europe is when we simply call migration a. long war we wouldn't count on the fact that the new europe will protect its borders i don't the ground like in hungary see like you need to the because the problem is not how to redistribute the current migrants but to avoid the arrival of thousands of other european countries were vilified for being anti migrant in 2020 it seems that the e.u.

is changing its tune our 1st priority is making sure that order is maintained at the greek external border which is also a european border my duty is to protect the sovereignty of my country i hope this crisis will serve as a wake up call i would like to comment for having altered the policy of greece when it comes to protecting its border and that is to say not to allow all illegal migration on its territory the message is clear this time you are not welcome the e.u. has had an. it will now protect its borders and the previously liberal ideal of welcoming migrants with norms has been swallowed up by a much more aggressive position. ski. on the greek turkish border. on the democratic dogfight in the big us presidential election

round which saw former vice president joe biden propelled into pole position on super tuesday as the field narrows in the election race when biden finished top in 10 of the 14 states up for grabs for progressive senator bernie sanders claim for including california and is the state with the most delegates well biden is now the clear leader in what's fast becoming a 2 man race but some of his early decisions could be coming back to haunt him after some u.s. veterans confronted the former v.p. over his support for the iraq war. the. monarchy is. very close there are no you. know are. you. doing well meanwhile michael bloomberg has announced he's ending his run for

the democratic 2020 presidential nomination after suffering a wipeout in super tuesday voting the billionaire and former new york man has now thrown his support behind joe biden breaking down developments his kaleb more. 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 to mayor bloomberg.

we. see an oligarchy 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 that 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 particularly 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 and he's like to show off to america as rick sanchez and guests discuss whether things now lie in the race for the democratic party nomination. joining us now to discuss super tuesday are leaking up

for back good tonight who leans ideologically more toward the bernie sanders family they can stay safe and also joining us of doom who leans ideologically i think we could say more toward the trump camp have rightly are. a good a start of what happens when you know i don't as i don't want to give into the mainstream narrative that biden just won everything bernie's still only backed by a 60 delegates all right he still won a lot considering he's up against the mainstream media the establishment all of it but the expectation is he was going to run away with it i do want to talk about what happened which was massive voter suppression like in texas the guardian of all you know mainstream outlets said that they closed hundreds of polling places mainly in hispanic areas in l.a. they changed their system and closed tons of polling places people were lined for hours and i had warned beforehand that if you for independent did very hard to vote and sure enough i'm getting e-mails from people saying yeah they wouldn't give me the right ballot they wouldn't give me the crossover ballot like they did

everything they could to stop independent stop hispanics from voting but. birdie's when let me push back on your little bit of how do you know it wasn't just incompetence because i don't know seriously this is america you know if you know god is about to give you a really answer the incompetence always seems to be towards the establishment candidate isn't that fascinating that's where the a comment and a fair point so here's what's going on right now folks you have the establishment which is everybody in america who wants things to stay the same because things are right now perfectly groovy they believe and then you have the progressive wing who thinks you know things are not groovy we need somebody in there to go and change the system that's what's going on last night the ones who think everything is groovy they won right absolutely i think part of the problem is is that well for me what happened last night is the same thing that happens in every election cycle that they rally around the establishment candidate and joe biden is the establishment candidate donald trump and barack obama are the exception to the rule

of the. stablish mean candidate because they didn't get the support right but here's here's where i'm going to challenge you for my knowledge lee do they rally around the establishment candidate or does the establishment fix things so they get that rally effect to happen because the club are sure to give up her state the night before the super or. whatever that was to go and for the judge to moms do the same they capitulated their own campaign for the sake of the establishment no i absolutely which by the way they have the right to do yeah yeah and i absolutely agree with that and i think that that i predicted that biden was going to come back people were downing biden but he did the same thing similar to what john mccain did and 2008 a comeback believe you or was he did this come back a little bit of both a bloomberg spent a half a $1000000000.00 and now he's stepped out of the race and but he achieved what he wanted which was to harm bernie sanders and to push everything in the democratic race back towards the right road and i think you achieved

a lot of what he wanted. from the candidates nothing though was senator elizabeth warren but she's. not dying down well with ronald but he sounds the support this will tell you why after the.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond's show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back and picking back up on super tuesday while other low polling democrats have thrown in the towel elizabeth warren is digging in despite failing to make the top 2 in any of the 14 voting states including her home state of massachusetts she's on the pressure from bernie sanders the supporters to go to avoid suspecting

that progressive vote which could benefit donald trump who couldn't resist taking a dick so selfish for elizabeth warren to stay in the race she has 0 chance of even coming close to winning but has been badly so much for that wonderful liberal friendship will he ever speak to her again she cost in massachusetts and came in 3rd he shouldn't. early songs this team claims her decision to stay in the race cost the self-styled democratic socialist victories in $3.00 states and bigger wins in several others they also point to parallels with 2016 when warren accused the green party's jill stein of helping to sway the election in donald 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 for star and 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 the war in 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 jill stein in 2016 was a vote for trump then a vote for warren today is a vote for joe biden so really i don't make the rules us political analyst or john maybe iraq i think elizabeth warren's turn of fortune things calm enough for her previous comments about the green party i guess for elizabeth warren this is kind of karma but what we've seen is the general chaos in the in the democratic party is quite clear that the democratic establishment are they have a plan in their plan is to. is to advance a so-called centrist and that's exactly what they did coming out of south carolina they use. biden's win to south carolina to to create momentum and to

encourage it and i think colin and amy 2 from minnesota to drop out so that all of the fire can be directed toward bernie sanders and a little bit want to play the role in that by staying in the race but they she completely devastated michael bloomberg but she also undermined bernie sanders but the fact 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 to to undermine bernie sanders because we all know is anybody but barely. within the past few minutes the talks have got underway in moscow between the russian and turkish leaders it's going to be a kingly followed conversation as they try to take to his heart of the escalation of violence in syria's province which threatens to bring the russian and turkish militaries into

a direct class and before getting down to business the 2 leaders acknowledge the importance of today's talks the bridge and it was a good afternoon. thank you for green to come to. grips. with you because always we have a lot to discuss and the situation. in the province of live in syria is so acute that it. wouldn't be quizes to have these direct conversation. with. me to get it you know get a little from the chilean if you should have at the beginning or like to once again express my condolences for the deaths of your soldiers in syria. that. you. have said the butcher. such
