6:04 am
. right now amid these skirmishes between the 2 sides we know that turkey is now reinforcing its security forces on the border been. a 1000 special forces officers are being deployed to the merrick river on the border fully equipped 3 people being pushed back now i just want to give you a sense of how many people have tried to get through temps or have been of people trying to get through in the last week we're talking 203040000 attempts in the 12 hours between thursday evening and friday morning they were just under 3000 attempts actually down from the night before when there was some 7000 attempts for people to get through the border now turkey has said this is syrians who are waiting to try and cross into the e.u.
6:05 am

are already in the zone between greece and turkey of greece accept them we're going to be. 500000 more and if the person who people who are being applied i don't see why the government could do but we mustn't forget during the previous refugee crisis. the political system you're actually collapsed over traditional be part of this were destroyed we have been taking care of the asylum seekers for the last 10 years and the expend more than 40 billions. worrying about them is that concept which can be described as a day late a dollar short the europeans should not have caused their ears to our warnings for the last 7 years we told them numerous times and we're still telling them the solution is to bring democracy to syria the solution is that for the user to use to go to europe or for them to stay in turkey and now fortunately the park there was
6:07 am
ignoring us and now i think they are starting to take us seriously. now the number of confirmed cases of corona virus worldwide has reached 100000 the world health organization warns that would be still a worry to predict the decline of the outbreak. we do not know years what the activity or the behavior of this wireless will be in different climatic conditions and it's a false hope to say yes it will just disappear in the summertime like influenza virus we hope it does i would die would be a godsend but we can't make that assumption where 6 cases were confirmed in russia on friday bringing the total number in the country to 10 or 6 new victims had come from italy people on the same flight have been asked to call an ambulance and not to leave their homes many more around russia who have visited virus hotspots have been put into quarantine to r.t. russian has this report and the country's handling of the situation.
6:08 am
the man who was russia's 1st patient came off a flight from milan we now know that the virus is in russia and an epidemic may have started the effects of which are difficult to predict at that view 13 here is a very interesting virus if the cells into thinking that it contains something beneficial and the cells accept it yes the church of primary for if you feel unwell i was difficult to breathe should you go to a hospital you know you need to go all 3 or one or 3 medics will come in assess the situation if they find out that the patient has a serious risk or infection and has been in risk areas then the bishop will be taken into quarantine. i went to competition in italy where there was no app demick at the time a few days after i arrived back home to russia i started to feel unwell now in a new municipal hospital in moscow while originally started from the us initially infection from the spread to home province and here at the moment of the specific
6:09 am
moment when i understood that the situation was serious it took one or 2 days on the 22nd of december i was out with friends the next day i wanted to go to the city center of my friend told me the metro had been closed but those 8 year i tried entering the metro but it. shot everything was closed would have to be in the 144 people were evacuated to 2 men from one on their arrival they rule examined by specialists. how is it that so many people who spend so much time at the center of an epidemic have not been infected 144 people were evacuated and not one of them was infected why. or the probability of infection from this new coronavirus was high but restrictive measures have been taken firstly limited movement around the city secondly wearing masks can frequently washing hands much of the main recommendations for avoiding infection 1st of all good care of the nose and throat
6:10 am
this means rinsing and don't be lazy or rinse until you feel your airways are clear . thousands of spanish students have rallied in central madrid against sex education plans by the rightwing vox party demonstrators chanted feminist slogans and carried banners denouncing the so-called parental well in the boxes proposals parents would have to give permission for children to join school workshops perceived as ideological and that would include classes on sex education gender and other issues like climate change so far there were only the region of mercer has introduced the plans and it's been condemned by the national and local authorities are refusing to repeal the move we will not do it because it says the government does not believe in what we believe in namely the freedom of fathers and mothers and homophobic family does not have the right to make their children harmful because well parental authority cannot be confused with property. in the u.k.
6:11 am
to bt education has sparked a furious backlash from september classes covering the she will become compulsory there and that has triggered protests among parents particularly from religious communities who put the issue up for debate with the christian concern member michael phillips and also the human rights campaigner peter tatchell i think is absolutely right that parents do have a right to teach their own children according to their beliefs but the education system has a responsibility to give children a comprehensive education and to give them information to safeguard their health and welfare to say that the state must come in and muscle in into an area which parents are we doing extremely well for thousands of years is just simply it's not good the primary responsibility in fact rest for the parents and parents do have the right to opt out of of sex education a majority of parents think it is the responsibility of the schools to do that
6:12 am
they're happy and content for that and if you look around the world in every country where there. are anti sex wars and low cost sex and leisure bridge occasion the levels of teenage pregnancies and abortions are much much higher michel as long as these classes of thoughtfully and the not indoctrinating children what what's the problem here are the programs which encourage more knowledge and more explicit knowledge were completely and utterly counterproductive whereas those which encourage abstinence people waiting so that they you know they gauged sexual activity when they're ready and mature those were the ones those were the programs which were seen to be the best for teenagers uganda a long time ago abandoned sex education and went for abstinence only to discourage young people having sex the end result was increased teenage pregnancies and rocketing levels of hiv pairing what happened to this country uganda is comparing apples and. completely inappropriate comparison i would suggest ever since we have
6:13 am
seen the introduction of sex education in this country as something which is compulsory since 1983 unfortunately there has been a long way to go to disaster which has happened in this country we have seen as t.d.'s and teenagers and young people go up to see abortion go up we've seen all social indicators of things that happen to young people have risen in relation to sexual matters it is proven throughout the world that early good quality age appropriate relationships that indication does actually work what the educated the people who know what they're talking about and they've studied this going back for decades that really the. waiting and respecting yourself these are these are the programs which work best are the most healthy which lead to the best and most prosperous society and what ultimately what's in the best interest of every child. now is the billionaire's michael bloomberg and tom's die a quick us presidential race critics to suggest that their focus on spending money
6:14 am
rather than discussing their policies was a factor artie's you could have done of explaining russians are at it again and of plotting to purchase another 4 years of presidency for trump or at least this is the reality tom steyer is living in. donald everyone knows that in 2060 russia before the election for you we're not going to let the happen again i'm all in to defeat you in 2020 if you don't know who tom steyer is or what's so great about him don't worry many americans don't know either he's a failed runner for the democratic nomination and outrageous spend on his own campaign stay is bid to topple donald trump is backed by his fellow loser mike bloomberg who spent even more trying to buy his way into the hearts of voters the sum is so offensively large in fact it even had emerson b.c. confused you see it as a possibility if you want to spend
6:15 am
a $1000000000.00 beating this guy he could do it absolutely and somebody tweeted recently that actually with the money he's spending on every american in dollars well it's a lot less disturbing if you get the math right quick arithmetic lesson guys $500000000.00 divided by $327000000.00 is roughly $1.00 well dollars not 1000000 this aside though stare and bloomberg combined spent more than 750000000 dollars on their campaigns before super tuesday that's more than all other democratic candidates combined and as much as the entire hillary clinton campaign officially cost back in 2016 including primaries and the head to head with trump yet
6:16 am
all these good zillions failed to secure even one delegate for stare while bloomberg got 61 and in case anyone from emerson b. c. is watching its math time again and that's more than 8000000. well as a delegate you clearly can't buy the election to be some rich guy but if you're completely out of touch with the american people if you are so arrogant to spend this amount of money it's it's not going to get you very far the democratic party which is already of billionaires and corporatists and and large banks and what have you joe biden being that a credit card or banking candidate they like don't like their their followers their voters to notice because they try to present themselves as the party of the people obviously they're not but so they would probably like to keep that under wraps and while joe biden is excited to have these wallets now the poor and money into his campaign it's difficult to say why according to the mother reports russia spent an
6:17 am
unbelievable $100000.00 on online ads remember in tom stay as world that was enough to buy trump presidency his hundreds of millions of dollars didn't even get him a single delegate not even a nomination so either that's some one hell of a money management skill or maybe just maybe someone's policies just aren't worth a penny some invisible mysterious russians who spent a $100000.00 on facebook ads of $26.00 team which somehow got the president elected well now we've got mike bloomberg who spent half a $1000000000.00 on ads that look at everybody going to spend that money and he could have paid donald trump to leave office not i think the president would he could have bought american samoa. so to come this hour disney cut up a popular character from his remake of the man over concerns we'll have
6:18 am
a look at that more detail of the stories just after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own person those. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only closely i'm
6:19 am
going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. i'll come back now with the cries of revamping traditional car teams continuing disney's back in the spotlight for giving moulin a meeting friendly revamp. reports on the track. did. diary you know me i'm generally a patient understanding person but really there are only so many injustices one can suffer when the live action remake of everyone's childhood favorite sleeping beauty
6:20 am
dropped i thought yeah i'll give her a chance imagine my shock when a war is awoken from her sleep not by prince philip no not you but by molestus and herself no harm come to you as. a parent it was problematic because it didn't consent and maybe the prince wasn't how one true love a knife in the back of my childhood and then the time classic cinderella came and while it makes me so anxious just thinking about it but naively i still thought that disney could possibly destroy it well it turns out i was wrong just how many injustices in 100 minutes fosli the mice don't get to speak only they do is hang around waiting for the fairy godmother to turn up and turn them into coachman i
6:21 am
know what such my sis behavior i mean you're basically a little slaves. then prince charming got a very on regal dressing down and got renamed kit heaven forbid we have any magic romance of gallantry left in the world also you'd think that with 65 years to come up with a new name they'd have done it a bit better as a side note not sure why prince charming gets a make over but it's still ok for cinderella to be stitched into a course. in the blue dress it was particularly tight when i was trying to dance i didn't have the capacity to breathe to support the physicality and so i had to keep taking breaks and loosen in the corset then a latin materialized flying carpet and a genie in a cave yes please i was still clinging to the hope that the cinderella saga is just a teething problem no now princess jasmine it always been a favorite of mine is such a bad ass the princess turning down this handsome prince is left right and center
6:22 am
but no that wasn't enough for disney they just kept to make her a sultan one to be sold to the club. has been preparing for this my whole life now i watched all that and i stayed silent but normal because now they've come for the jewel in the disney crown they've come from milan and her disney match. i mean no one could possibly take issue with the shining the serious army captain could day i think particularly in the time of the me too movement having a commanding officer there is also the sexual love interest was very uncomfortable and we didn't think it was appropriate and the shang who saw me not as an equal who respected her as a warrior who's not just one of these princes swarming around in his fancy costume but can actually fish with his bare hands. story who built
6:23 am
a friendship founded on respect with before ok realized he quite liked are you telling me that the shining is being dead i know your out but kid gets to stay home but no that wasn't enough for those brutes it disney you know the iconic scene where milan chops off the locks. poof gone baba i know i mean i really i just don't know how much more i can take. i would have told you you're also counseled oh. oops spoiler alert don't worry though that still the little mermaid rapunzel i'm sure disney's got some great plans to ruin those for children all around the world. to live and i local government in england has been accused of spreading transphobia over the international women's day celebrations with more on that story his shadier
6:24 am
it would study. international women's day is coming up it's a day to mark the struggle for the right to vote and the fight for equal rights but this year the run up to march the 8th has been inadvertently embroiled in a trance rao sefton council in liverpool has been pressurised into removing flags being flown outside its town hall is simply red woman noun i don't feel well and while that might be the definition in the oxford english dictionary it's been deemed transphobia the flag flying at the moment is a hostile transphobia dog whistle recognizes a symbol and brand of one of britain's most outspoken and visible trans antagonists and leader of the trans phobic hate group moments later the facts were removed but the council saying it didn't realize the controversial messaging they were being asked to display we have been made aware of the potential issue regarding the messaging. and southport town halls and have taken them down we have a proud history of supporting l g b
6:25 am
t q plus riots across the borough we continued to support all members of all communities and want to look like international women's day had been cancelled later they decided to reinstate the celebration replacing the old flag with a different one we went to find out if people really find the statement on the flag offensive why would it be offensive. just because you have a flag that represents women and doesn't insult anyone else it just empowers women i think it's a woman decision. definition. i know it probably needs to. take a lot of political things to talk about a woman i don't think there should be a label and i don't think there should be a definition genders all religions or anything but the problem i have is with the word transfer. the word for. something i don't think that's the case and i don't think the word is being brandished as if it's. you know to.
6:26 am
other agendas well what a time to be a guy it seems like you can celebrate anything without offending people or at least having opinions polls apart this is a very subjective a very relative issue it's an opinion based where you call it flag offensive on a tweet because it use the dictionary definition of the problem when you give in because of anonymous or angry tweets when you give in you give that platform power nobody should be giving it power to any voice that is meant to silence for wrongful reasons and so we don't want to give those voices any more justification just because they don't like something because then it's going to cause everybody who wants to shut down a company shut down a cause or shut down any kind of truth or opinion that they don't agree with it's going to give them more power to continue lambasted in these defamatory slanderous
6:27 am
remarks on twitter and social media which has been very very harmful to people we have now been entrenched in this culture of fear where everybody wants us to be afraid where we cannot say anything and what that does when there is such a pervasive culture of fear we're going to be labeled transpo record zina phobic or racist or homophobic or whatever it is. for this hour about stories in $35.00. oh. yes this is how the move through.
