and germany but one member put in convinced his turkish counterpart that they do not need mediators i had a rare access to the room where the 2 leaders shook their hands and i can tell you both to never got looked very focused and concentrated here their expectations of this meeting. we must talk through everything the entire situation that has unfolded to this day so that nothing like this ever happens again and so that this doesn't damage russian turkish relations which we all hold very dearly i know that the whole world is watching this meeting i believe that today's decisions will alleviate the tensions in italy the relations between russia and turkey are at the highest our task today is to make them even better what is clear already it is not going to be an easy conversation journalists were not allowed to attend there is no press conference expected tensions in beer and that's because tensions maybe even higher on the ground. with russia and turkey blaming each other for is collation

on what is the atmosphere in and around syria ahead of at argonne putin's meeting here in moscow here's my report a new wave of refugees flooding towards europe nato losing his patients turkey russia relations plunging to new lows this is all fallout from the crisis serious last rebel held province dominated by terrorists is a province just the largest al qaeda safe haven since 911 tied directly to iman also hearing this is a huge problem in 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 data strongest arm 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 higher taria al shaab 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 there is a 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 attack but that's still not enough for at argonne he once more. you know what we did is we opened our borders because you promised as 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 their own 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. regarding syria we're pretty much aware of what is do in syria what russia is doing is fighting extremists in ad lib it says but as the conflict rages at least there is still room for dialogue. ahead of the meeting tempers boiled over in the turkish

parliament and peace from the ruling and rival parties brawled or after an opposition m.p. criticized president over the military intervention in syria one verbal hit back describing the opposition as dishonorable and treacherous for questioning turkish military operations with tensions running high we asked chris bambery what he thinks the outcome of this thursday's talks in moscow will be. why i think we have to start by looking beyond syria and seeing that there is more me x. russian talking common than there is divides it the division is syria but there's a lot more that unites them in the current current state of the world particularly in relationship to the united states and a lesser said towards towards europe so that will influence what the events are know what the primary interest of the one is is to prevent another in for refugees war i think the compromise might be would be to go back to what the previous

agreement was to have a cease fire and a much more truncated area a road that other talk at the border on syrian territory with those people can stay with the talks monitoring that cease fire talking in order one's opinion has been left to shoulder this burden with the economic damage and other problems it would cause so a potential doubling of the refugee population and say it's ok is something he wants to avoid. while a solution for syria as worked on in moscow turkey's opposite border is a different story turkish authorities claim a man has died after greek forces opened fire at my quince trying to cross into the e.u. and occasions greece family denies and recent days turkey's opened its borders to allow through tens of thousands of refugees most of whom all thought to be syrian.

in. europe could be looking at another my current crisis now that turkey has reopened its buddhas with greece tens of thousands once more trying to cross into the even but 5 years on from the peak of the 1st michael 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 the 20152016 crisis 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 keating 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 than politicians called for all member nations to share the burden some countries were out right opposed with us to talk very seriously about illegal migration which is a very central time of the european union it's a very simple 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 of 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 the greek external border which is also 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 cause 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 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 even ski. on the greek turkish border. to launch the democratic dogfight in the big us presidential election round which saw former vice president joe biden propelled into a pole position on super tuesday as the field narrows in the election race might have finished top in 10 of the 14 states up for grabs while progressives senator bernie sanders claim for including california the state with the most delegates biden is now the clear leader and what's fast becoming a 2 man race 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 mean well 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 kind of more pay . 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 it 'd appeared almost that michael bloomberg was attempting to buy the democratic nomination let's take a listen. to 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 mini mike many others and 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 aloud 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 the jazz club char and bloomberg to get out of the race i think most democratic party officials 'd 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 and his latest show on t america's rick sanchez and guest says gust when things now live in the race for the democratic party's nomination. joining us now to discuss super tuesday are league camp for back good tonight who leans ideologically more toward the bernie sanders cam i think it's a safe bet also joining us of dual 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 who 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 it's 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 going to come out of the i'll 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 that night before the super or. whatever those 2 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 in 2008 a comeback believe you or was he gifted this comeback a little bit of both

a bloomberg spent a half of $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. among the candidates nothing there wounds that senator elizabeth warren but she's staying in and that's not going down well with waffle bunnies thousands of their supporters will tell you why this break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic developments only. i don't see it. will be very critical. to sit down and

talk. why do we go to war because we view the key to economic growth as oil and energy we go to war is vice president cheney said for the oil that's why they invaded iraq for the oil that's why trump says the one thing we want syria we really don't want to go to war with russia we want to just control the oil. and the gas lines and the pipelines through afghanistan so the military is really an extension of controlling of world energy and oil.

welcome back or picking back up on super tuesday now and while our fellow poland democrats have thrown in the towel elizabeth warren is digging in despite a 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 a support is to go to avoid splitting the progressive vote which could benefits donald trump who couldn't resist taking it to. 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 their wonderful liberal friendship will he ever speak to her again she cost in massachusetts and came in 3rd he shouldn't bernie sanders this team claims her decision to stay in the race cost of a self-styled democratic socialist victories in 3 states and bigger wins in several others but also point to parallels with 2016 when warren accused the green party's jill stein of helping to sway the election and donald trump's favor anything you do

that helps donald trump get one inch closer to the white house is a danger to all of us a 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 and 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 jill 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 sorry i don't make the rules. us political analyst and john thanks elizabeth warren's turn a 14th comma for her previous comments about the green party. i guess for elizabeth warren this is kind of carmel 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 in their plan is to just to do is to advance a so-called centrist and that's exactly what they did coming out of south carolina to use. biden's win to south carolina to to create momentum and to encourage that and i call it a minute or 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 state in the race other issues but completely devastated michael bloomberg but she also undermined bernie sanders but 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. undermine bernie sanders because we all know is anybody but very. little
