incidentally from the west group background who have never set a foot wrong suddenly go rogue. was welcome to you it's friday the 6th of march and you're watching r.t. international with me becky aaron and we start this hour with breaking news from tunisia in north africa where local media reports in the capital say that a suicide bomber has blown himself up near the united states embassy now the casualties are known about at this stage it's reported that the bomber was on a motorcycle and was wearing a suicide belt and attacked a security patrol we're bringing you more details on this breaking news story as soon as it comes in. now another 2000 cases of coronavirus around the world have been confirmed in the past day here in russia medical services are on alert especially in key cities where arrivals from the most affected nations are required to self isolate for. 2 weeks one of the other effects being seen worldwide is

shoppers emptying shelves to stock up on essential in australia the media is being accused of whipping up hysteria with some stores rationing toilet paper after a rush of panic buying. strips but it was a stroke for a pandemic take a look at this we went out to take a look for ourselves yesterday and there wasn't a toilet roll in. the right kind of shopping it's happening all over the country the great soylent paper palate is in full cry warning stores and clearing shelves of staple goods as coronavirus called australian newspaper even left 8 of its pages empty suggesting its readers use them as an alternative to toilet paper with more on the supermarket onslaught around the world peter oliver. it's called how mystic alpha in german literally translates as hamster buying but it doesn't

mean that people here were leaning across the federal republic of being stocking up on adorable furry friends it means they've been panic buying essential in fear of the coronavirus empty shelves in supermarkets across berlin have become a common sight as people hoard fresh fruit and vege as well as nonperishable goods like pastor rice toilet paper hygiene products and other basics have been flying off shelves as people prepare for potential self isolation as the covert 19 crisis spreads around the world while emergency testing tents of being set up at hospitals to identify those with the virus the german government is being giving its assessments of the current situation or stick with it but he means you know china's coronavirus outbreak has become a global pandemic 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 left 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 whether they are afraid of the virus. the supermarkets have been plundered and you take what you can carry in order to have something at home as bad as i will wait where they it is important not to be so hysterical. that is their greasy i mean once you have a small staggered home which would last for 14 days as supply in some food and food is all right. but everything else i think it's massively exaggerated i'm not doing penny buying and in my usual grocery shopping it would be nice if others who did

the same then it would not need to drive to multiple stores because. there is an epidemic many people die every year and now we have this coronavirus theatre it's absolutely sickening it is silly which is be the hardest hit in europe all schools and universities have been closed for 2 weeks in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus panic buying is also being seen in the united kingdom where there's also huge economic concerns over the impact in a nation with a poultry system of sick pay compared to other european countries that could see 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 be to all of us of tea. clouds of tear gas on the backdrop this friday along some of

the border between greece and turkey both countries are firing callista's in their increasingly fractious deadlock over swelling numbers of migrants trying to get into the e.u. critical thorazine is shared in this video accusing turkey of dropping tear gas using drones from refugees managed to use the lack of visibility to make it across the border thousands began heading for the e.u. several days ago after turkic lend it could no longer contain them right now many are staying at a makeshift camp along the border and their numbers are growing fast turkish authorities have drafted in additional police officers on the greek side push back solid to penske looks next at how both sides are feeling the situation greece and turkey have long had an equal moony s. relationship now as greece feels its borders are under its. hack 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 need turkey has accused greece of using live ammunition killing and injuring my clients who trying to cross the greek police and border units have fired plastic bullets and live ammunition on migrants waiting between the cash 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 type of excessive force which the green border police is using there you started using live ammunition on refugees and migrants be 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 are 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 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 theory of them pays are demanding the end all cooperation with turkey for causing the latest crisis. this is again 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 we get after some of the several years we only get blackmailed again so it does the other gun just wants more money from us and this has to stop infinity is clear that

mr hat. are not a reliable partner sounds so i think that the e.u. should keep the interim council because i think that your piano taxpayers 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. and so he's off as a border with syria moves are being made to defuse weeks of escalating violence the leaders there russia and turkey agreed a cease fire in the war torn italy a province following extensive talks in moscow the 2 powers are backing opposing sides in the conflict which has brought them perilously close to direct confrontation maria for national has more on the 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 join their leaders and the discussion continued it was clear from the beginning it is not going to be an easy chorus aish and 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 agreement to de-escalate the syrian turkish crisis in syria's war torn even a province and to set this in concrete putin and added the gun signed a document detailing a cease fire on the ground in a glib that starts from midnight march 6th your jews saught 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 a safe zone starting march 15th widely reported described thursday stocks with head of the gun in general as positive moves through the forgiveness measurement of this group but 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 acceptable 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 erdogan coming here to moscow kremlin and having a discussion with wagner putting the executive director of the one paul peace institute told r.t. it's in both russia and turkey's interest to ensure that this cease fire holds. we 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 the danger of it actually adding 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 to want 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 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. 2 whistleblowers are planning a new legal challenge to the world chemical weapons watchdog to a p c w inquiry branded the inspectors roque after they went public in the wake of that study of an alleged attack in duma in syria 2 years ago they now want

a scientific herring and in a letter to the director general they accuse the watchdog of it norrie that work. inspect to be annoyed tried on many occasions to meet with you you may also know open haps not that these requests were all denied 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 him there will be consequences 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 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 backed but evidence their behaviors even more egregious as they had manifestly incomplete information about the doom and vesta gave their conclusions were erroneous on informed and rone erroneous uninformed that doesn't seem very becoming for 2 guys who are apparently the inspection team leaders why would a pair of the top inspection team leaders both with impeccable record both incidentally from the west and group background who have never set

a foot wrong suddenly go rogue 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 join the team shortly after the start of the deployments 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 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 something had gone wrong inside the opus e w's and we wanted you to know it's that simple they even think there might have been a bit of deception at play the investigation was conducted by a british investigator and

a lawyer from the us. the activities of the fact finding mission were managed by o. chief of cabinet from fronts whose views are echoed in both the narratives does it not strike you was somewhat biased in that the 3 individuals represent the 3 defendants the 3 countries who were responsible for the missile strikes in response to the allegation of a chemical attack in duma and o.p.c. w. leak and some back and forth later there are still so many questions and few answers as to what really happened but we've lost the response to the claims to have meantime we spoke to former f.b.i. agent and was a blow loudly he suspects this may campaign out there pct. the allegation and accusation that these 2 inspectors who were amongst the top experts they were the 1st hand investigators that actually examined the evidence the l a geisha in 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 our 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 and syria is no different at this point it would have to be one side is not telling the truth here and. the entity that changed conclusions of reports would be the suspected entity that is not telling the truth. on the way something fishy is going on in the waters around brisson the government says it will depend deploy the navy to repel any official that the world wants to break through the concrete. the only woman left in the race for the u.s. democratic election nomination faces

a big battle of from the own party we'll tell you why among the stories of the people. it's seemed wrong. to me to get to shape out just because to educate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the all excitement short and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm sure business i'll see you there.

the question is i was banned what do you do with global economy that relies on just in time to livery of parts and services mostly from. wages china is interrupted by a global pandemic and can't be overcome with more money printing that's the big question. now unknown gunmen have opened fire at a memorial ceremony in the afghan capital attended by presidential challenger abdullah abdullah he escaped unhurt but the health ministry says that 27 people were killed a number of politicians were also at the remembrance service in cobol for a minority shiite leader these taleban swiftly denied carrying out the attack on the area's been sealed off last saturday the u.s.

on the taliban find a peace deal paving the way for further talks on a way out of the 18 year conflict in afghanistan. or britain says it will deploy the navy to prevent a e.u. fishing vessels from entering its waters is becoming a key sticking point in the brig's it trade talks it's only now expects. the town of poole on england's south coast is one of the u.k.'s oldest fishing communities and the local economy relies heavily on the fisheries industry it's a calm and a daily town but life could be about to be brutally disrupted if the political rhetoric is to be believed the u.k.'s tory government to warn 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. is currently in a so-called transition period and 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 that demands the u.k. wants the e.u. to follow british law and for negotiations to take place annually 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 nasty battle 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 are provoking the u.k. into taking harsh measures if france decided to take that action. i think that

it would just from apology meant. to. self manage ourselves and on fully prepared to things i don't think it would worry that the u.k. fishermen until we should have our own waters back. in the past we haven't adam and . belgium everyone gets bigger quote than the english freshman so shanks got to be done if the english freshman don and a friend like that would be arrested on the other side of the channel the feeling of mistrust is neutral and the sense is that a confrontation is inevitable but on a sort of their finale 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 horta france but also for french fishermen in general about this year so obviously it is

a deal or no deal but i think that if you are going towards a new 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. including. a lot of us election focus right now is on how the democratic party choice is pretty much down to white men in their seventy's but hawaii congresswoman tulsi got bodies still in the race she won 2 delegates in american samoa and so it makes it through to the next democratic debate that the party executive wants to shift the goalposts along that. 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 this threshold will go up by the time we have the much debate almost 2000 delegates will be allocated the threshold 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 to see finally hit the debate qualifications so we've got to do something about that despite the fact there's 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 amy clover sharers 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 locked 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 tolson 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 is antiwar stance taken as she is a u.s. service member that is the real on forgivable clincher she wants to and 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 get in the way. this vitally important war agenda. archie new york.
