to identify those with the virus the german government is being giving its assessments of the current situation or sticking to it but he means you know china's corona virus outbreak has become a global pandemic it is always a question of finding the right balance on the one hand between the restrictions necessary to contain the virus and on the other enabling every day life to continue what's clear is that we have not yet reached the peak of the outbreak it's not just the moon systems that the virus has been attacking the economy is also taking a real pounding the german airline lufthansa has canceled hundreds of flights with around $150.00 aircraft currently grounded the german economy one of the most robust in europe is facing the real possibility of sliding into recession we asked people here on the streets of pearlie and whether they are afraid of the virus. the supermarkets have been plundered and you take what you can kill in order to have

some force to survive on just over 100 euro week the reality is we don't know what is going to happen next with this new virus the best advice we have is to avoid panicking practice good hand washing hygiene and avoid touching bases these are all over of the early. interest without lots of people talking about the latest refugee crisis at the greek turkish border is saying officials and politicians increasingly trade furious accusations at one another with both claiming the facts are being well fanie distorted in the meantime turkey is allowing tens of thousands of people to amass that the e.u. is out front here many are at a makeshift camp right now and the numbers are growing fast turkish authorities have deployed additional police officers on the greek side pushback china dubin city has been looking at it all and she now tells us why it both sides are fueling
2:06 am
the situation greece and turkey have long had an acrimonious relationship now as greece feels its borders are under attack this time by migrants leaving turkey sparks are flying on the ground here. is where the battle lines are being drawn but perhaps the real conflict is being fought through the power of the news and social media with both sides labeling claims and counterclaims as fake. turkey has accused greece of using live ammunition killing and injuring my quince who are trying to cross the greek police and border units have fired plastic bullets and live ammunition on migrants waiting between the cast danny's impassive coolly border gate the 5 men who were wounded had been shot in the food growing head and chest by live bullets turkish state media even says it has evidence of violence perpetuated by greece. and that is the
2:07 am
type of excessive force which the green border police is using their started using live ammunition on refugees and migrants to be people of archippus give us the turkish side creates and disperse this fake news targeted against greece today they created yet another such force who'd with injured migrants and one dead supposedly by greek fire i categorically deny it turkey also claims that those trying to cross this border are syrian refugees but greek authorities say the majority of from countries such as afghanistan from pakistan from morocco on social media videos purporting to show migrant crossings are circulating as click bait it is a wall of words they have borders and they have the right to protect them the greeks have been europe's shield for much longer than most people realize ever
2:08 am
since there has been islam. the e.u. is fighting against refugees turkey is fighting to protect refugees it seems the world is divided over who is at fault here although one side turkey is apparently dumping migrants and forcing them to cross the border on the other hand greece is allegedly using brute force to repel them both accuse the other of using tear gas as a weapon to either push migrants towards or away from the border but as the war of fake news is playing out on the ground it's the migrants who are suffering being batted back and forth between turkey greece and the e.u. even ski for r.t. casting is on the greek turkish border and the european parliament several furious m.p.'s are demanding the e.u. and all cooperation with turkey for causing this latest crisis. this is again
2:09 am
a good lesson for us that the european union doesn't solve our problems it only makes the problems worse we paid 6000000000 euros to the turkish regime and what do we get after some several years we only get blackmailed again so it does the other gun just wants more money from us and this has to stop in february it is clear that . are not a reliable partner and so i think that the e.u. should keep the interim council because i think that european and sex player sir have lost a lot of money i mean in my view would be an appropriate response for the e.u. to suspend the e.u. turkish customs union with immediate effect. and. we may well be demanding this in the not too distant future. one touches opposite border that's with syria moves are being made to defuse weeks of escalating violence the leaders
2:10 am
of russia and turkey agree to a cease fire in the water one province following extensive talks in moscow the 2 powers are backing opposing sides in the conflict which has brought them at times perilously close to direct confrontation with the national house more on those discussions. it took a total of 6 hours 3 of them ted ted between ludmer put another job type at 11 that's a lot for top men and then the 2 countries delegations including foreign and defense ministers joined their leaders and the discussion continued it was clear from the beginning it is not going to be an easy chorus ation journalists were told there will be no press conference at the end or any media context so to the very last moment we didn't know whether we're going to see mr putin and mr added a gun this evening at all but both leaders came out to journalists with the outcome of thursday's crucial talks on syria the key point is that the 2 sides came to an
2:11 am
agreement to deescalate the syrian turkish crisis in syria's war torn province and to set this in concrete putin and out of the gun signed a document detailing a cease fire on the ground in a glib that starts from midnight march 6th your jews taught at midnight beginning on the 6th of march a ceasefire will be implemented we will take all necessary steps to ensure at last our goal is to do everything possible to prevent the humanitarian situation from deteriorating in the region so the ceasefire is certainly agcy point but there were some other steps agreed upon between russia and turkey the 2 sides decided to establish a so-called safe corridor 12 kilometer wide 6 kilometers north and 6 kilometers south from syria strategic and 4 highway connecting aleppo and lattakia and to start joint patrol of this area to secure it to make it
2:12 am
a safe zone starting march 15th flight reporting described thursday stalks with the head of the gun in general as a positive move through the thick of this measurement that is we don't always agree without turkish partners in our evaluation of the situation in syria but critical moments having. high level bilateral relations we've always managed to find common ground on controversial issues and have found except through solutions. a while ago the turkish president announced a special gather rain on syria in istanbul but not only between russia and turkey but also with france and germany that's what meant putting convinced his turkish counterpart that they do not need mediators and this is why we saw mr as a gun coming here to moscow kremlin and having discussion with like make pretty well he executive director of the ron paul peace institute told r.t. that it and both russia i'm touchy centrist twin sure that this cease fire holds we
2:13 am
should all breathe a sigh of relief because truly russia and turkey were on the brink of direct conflict it was careening out of control and i think it was very wise to have called this bilateral meeting to hammer it out because there are the danger of getting into war and possibly including nato was very real the whole issue of the of the war torn in the province is not that different in the war torn aleppo province which amazingly settled down once it was liberated from the from the control of jihad ists of extremists of al qaida and that's the exact same thing in the province the important thing is that the m. 4 in an m 5 highways will be opened up that's important to certainly to russia into syria but let's also remember the air one is having some problems back home there's a huge brawl in the parliament just yesterday with 2 with the parties fighting each other the opposition parties are not thrilled that everyone has essentially
2:14 am
embedded turkish military forces with al qaida to serve as human shields to prevent the syrians from retaking their own territory he's gone way out on a ledge and i think he's finding himself at the end of his political rope perhaps. not a headline story for us our 2 west open. a new legal challenge to the wild chemical weapons watchdog that's often a p c w inquiry ground at those inspectors broke off today went public in the wake of the study have been allowed to touch and that's in syria 2 years ago they now want a scientific herring and accuse the watchdog of moring that was. something had gone wrong inside the o.p.c. w. sitter and we wanted you to know it's that simple letters to the director of the global chemical weapons watchdog courtesy of the gray zone project there the latest development in a ping pong exchange of correspondence between david and goliath whistleblowers and
2:15 am
the o.p.c. w. inspector in i have tried to resolve our concerns with you in private however this saga has unfortunately escalated to a point where we are now publicly portrayed as adversaries inspectors are now being smeared as the into this is of these values for nothing more than daring to speak out the smearing started back in february with a report in response to what the organization called a breach of confidentiality leaks that casts doubt on the o.p.c. w.'s conclusions about duma they said the gas cylinders were likely place there rather than dropped from an aircraft and that one area was likely not even subjected to a chemical attack but the report barely even touched on any of that the authors were too busy trying to tear the whistleblowers inspectors a and b. to pieces inspectors a and b. are not whistleblowers they're individuals who could not accept that their views were not perfect but evidence their behaviors even more egregious as they had
2:16 am
manifestly incomplete information about the doom investigation their conclusions were room is uninformed and grown erroneous uninformed that doesn't seem very becoming for 2 guys who are apparently of the inspection team leaders. why would a pair of the top inspection team leaders both with impeccable records incidentally from the western group background who've never set foot wrong suddenly go broke did these old circumstances not ring some warning bells they sure are confident in their qualifications but it goes farther than that inspectors a and b. categorically rejects one of the o.p.c. w.'s biggest claims against them that they have pretty much nothing to do with the investigation and no access to important information when i joined the team shortly after the start of the developments to do inspect a b. and i continued playing a central role in the overall investigation the final report didn't exactly benefit from the editorial turnaround information was slashed details removed and facts
2:17 am
don't explain why it's not like the inspectors didn't try to get answers to their questions before pressing the big red leak button the response they ran into though was not very encouraging. expect to be and i tried on many occasions to meet with you you may also know or perhaps not but these requests were old annoyed the reason given by a senior official was it's my role to protect the director general you will never get to speak with him and if you try to go around me to get to him there will be consequences they even think there might have been a bit of deception at play. the investigation was conducted by a british investigator on a lawyer from the us the activities of the fact finding mission were money by your chief of cabinet from fronts the fuser echoed in both the narratives doesn't strike you as somewhat biased in the 3 individuals represent the 3 defendants the 3 countries who were responsible for the missile strikes in response to the allegation of the chemical attack in duma and o.p.c. w. leak and some back and forth later there are still so many questions and few
2:18 am
answers as to what really happened of course we've all seen the response to all these claims in the meantime though we did speak to former f.b.i. agent and whistleblower canadian riley who suspects a smear campaign w. the allegation and an accusation that these 2 inspectors who were amongst the top experts they were the 1st hand investigators that actually examined the evidence the elevation that they went rogue makes no sense at all and again given that they were amongst the top professionals in it with the expertise in engineering and in chemical weapons these were the top people so it really is really defies believe ability that they would have gone rogue they and their close to retire you know they have done a many many years of faithful service to the o.p.c. w. they believe in the mission of truth in times of war truth becomes the 1st casualty
2:19 am
and syria is no different at this point it would have to be one side is not telling the truth here and the the entity that changed conclusions of reports would be the suspected entity that is not telling the truth. still on the way something fishy is going on in the waters around burke said the government has little to persuade the navy to repel either fishing vessels $1.00 price of concrete. are going to be any woman left in the race for the u.s. democratic election of a nation faces a big bottle problem both parties i'll tell you what about the stories in just a 2nd. here. the question was ben what do you do with
2:20 am
a global economy that relies on just in time to livery of parts and services mostly from slave labor wages china is interrupted by a global pandemic and can't be overcome with more money printing that's the big question. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to get us out of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. chose seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any old belief yet to shape our disdain comes to advocate and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
2:21 am
now britain says it will deploy the navy to prevent e.u. fishing vessels from entering its waters now it's becoming a key sticking point in the practice of trade talks as if he now explains the town of poole on england's south coast as one of the u.k.'s oldest fishing communities in the local economy relies heavily on the fisheries industry it's a calm and a delicate town but life could be about to be brutally disrupted if the political rhetoric is to be believed the u.k.'s tory government have warned the e.u. that if their ships try to access british waters they'll deploy the royal navy to keep them out setting the stage for a confrontation on the high seas we have increased a. sufficient the u.k.
2:22 am
is currently in a so-called transition period in the gauche a should have begun which will determine what kind of deal the u.k. will leave with at the end of december this year but when it comes to fishing the 2 sides are still far apart in the months the u.k. wants the e.u. to follow british law and for negotiations to take place on you really similar to an agreement they have with norway they you however wants to have a long term agreement with quotas on fishing missy uses the deaf or secretary warned the e.u. against trying to use fisheries as a negotiating chip while the french of hit back saying they're more than ready to get nasty if the u.k. isn't willing to play ball all we played with emotion was drama was passion with symbols and we know how to make it a very i think must about both sides both sides very nice about them playing nasty could mean the french blockading channel ports and some british fishermen say that the french of provoking the u.k.
2:23 am
into taking harsh measures if fronts decided to take that action. i think that it would just from i pod came and we need to. we need to self manage ourselves and on we're fully prepared for things like that i don't think it would worry that the u.k. fishermen to talk we should have our own waters back in the past we have an atom and if it's belgium everyone gets bigger quote than the english fisherman so shanks got to be done if the english fisherman down on a friend like that would be arrested on the other side of the channel the food of mistrust is neutral and the sense is that a confrontation is inevitable but when a sort of financial we haven't really been informed we hope this case is looking up because if there were no negotiations it would mean a no deal at the end of the year in this case would be excluded from british waters this would be a disaster for the fishermen of the whole to france but also for french fishermen
2:24 am
in general about this year so obviously it is a deal or no deal but i think that if you are going towards a no deal the u.k. as ourselves the european union not only france would lose a loss anyway it is not in our interest so u.k. interests we must find an agreement with great britain. e.u. u.k. negotiations only began formally this week but already the question of fisheries could derail talks and lead to tit for tat retaliations that harm both french and british fishing communities and damage relations between these longtime allies. r.t. in cool. and rounding off for this hour a lot of u.s. election focus right now is on how the democratic party choice is pretty much down to white men in 17 part hawaii congresswoman tulsi is still in the race now she won 2 delicates in american samoa and so makes it through to the next democratic
2:25 am
debates but the part 2 consecutive wants to shift the goalposts on not as kind of more than explains. the democratic party's machine has been widely exposed for playing favorites when it comes to presidential candidates the latest example of this is the treatment of tulsa gabbert as a result of these super tuesday vote tulsi gabbert gained a delegate and was thus eligible to appear in the televised debate so the d.n.c. then changed the rules we have 2 more debates of course the special will go up by the time we have the much debate almost 2000 delegates will be allocated and thresh who will reflect where we are in the race as it always has the rules keep changing in order to make sure that tulsi is locked out her supporters poured out their rage on to twitter god forbid told c. gets back on the debate writes translation tosi finally hit the debate qualifications so we got to do something about that despite the fact there's
2:26 am
literally only 5 people left in the race. you must really not want to move to a big stage pathetic the bias against tulsa gabbert is rather extreme media reports pretend that she doesn't even exist they claim that elizabeth warren is somehow the only female candidate and you're going to say something about elizabeth warren is she going to benefit by being the only woman left now that any club or shares out elizabeth warren recently dropped out of the race so if the democrats want to keep with their message of inclusion they should have telsey gabbert on the stage but they seem to have a lock her out just like they've done in the past furthermore tulsi gabbert is currently suing hillary clinton for publicly smearing her as a russian asset now some people suspect that the bias against tulsa gabbert is rooted in the fact that back in 2016 she endorsed bernie sanders and did not line up behind hillary clinton furthermore it's worth pointing out that she's been rather critical of the debate process and the lack of inclusion back in november
2:27 am
tossing gabbert used her permitted debate appearance to go after d.n.c. favorite candidate camila harris and her record as a criminal prosecutor the facts were damning and the harris campaign shut down shortly afterwards however it seems to be tulsi as an antiwar stance taken as she is a u.s. service member that is the real on forgivable clincher she wants to end regime change wars and cut military spending congress and just passed a $738000000000.00 war budget instead of providing for the health the safety the security of the well being of our people and our planet the democratic party's leadership seems to disagree with her they favor regime change operations and bloated military expenditures the democratic party favors continued military operations around the world done in the name of defending democracy and at home they don't mind arbitrarily changing the rules to make sure that democracy doesn't
2:28 am
get in the way of this vitally important war agenda caleb mop and r.t. new york. and now if you still want will pay off dot com is the place can use a check out and have a great day. do you believe in miracles would seem democrats to you after the joe biden surge on super tuesday for them the fear of the bernie sanders candidate we now be contained however this is far from over taking on trump. the democratic field is now rowing is it a bernie versus biden race from this point on and could i the one being donald
2:29 am
trump in the fall would take a look at that on this edition of. welcome to politicking on larry king super tuesday was a stunner with joe biden scoring a series of impressive wins redeeming a canada see that some of the written off as dead meanwhile bernie sanders is pushing forward vowing he'll not be stopped by the establishment to campaign trail experts join us today to talk about the state of the democratic party in this turbulent election cycle it's been pegged on donald trump's reelection bid they are susan estrich campaign manager for michael dukakis is 88 presidential run she's also an attorney author of political commentator and read dickens who served as white house assistant secretary press for george w. bush he's co-founder of more sports and he's now by the way
2:30 am
a registered independent you left the party a few years ago it left me ok let's get into that. well it's by its greatest strength he's not trying. and he's not any of the others larry i mean it was a moment i think this past weekend when everybody kind of look to their left they looked around and they look here around the table tonight bloomberg you know had his moment he was gone and they said well who's left correct i think i asked a lot of my friends there were participating the democrat primary a question that i think president obama was asking people president clinton people what the heck are you doing what the heck are you thinking i think pete and then me getting out early and timely was thoughtful i think it was courageous and something that the republicans couldn't bring themselves to do in $26.00 to narrow down to one alternative candidate.
