1:04 pm
well turkey has said it borders will remain open they have been open now for a round a week and we know that camps are forming on the other side on the turkish side as migrants come close to the border in the hope of getting into the e.u. . right now amid these skirmishes between the 2 sides we know that turkey is now reinforcing its security forces on the border. a 1000 special forces officers are being deployed to the merrick river on the border fully equipped to event 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
1:05 pm
attempts actually down from the night before when there was some 7000 attempts for people to get through the border now turkey has said syrians who are waiting to try and cross into the e.u. says that's not true in fact they've given the statistics that show all of the around 250 people that have been arrested in the last week the majority were from afghanistan some 64 percent they said in regard to syrians who have been arrested it so far own. the 4 percent but the feeling here in greece is one of defiance we know that they're also trying to extend the fence the physical fence between turkey and greece extending it from around 12 and a half clematis up to 40 kilometers and in fact we've seen a new barbed wire fence in passing as it stands defiant and has the e.u. to back it the message to migrants is you shall not poss. ski. casting yes on the greek to. we discuss the growing crisis with
1:06 pm
a political analyst from greece and i turkish ambassador the greek government has no other option in his words borders is here. you have the guns now we are for. my. zone between greece and turkey. 500000 more and the person who keep. being applied i don't see why those were but they're among the good to myself. during the bruce refugee crisis. the system you're actually costs though because of this might be part of this were destroyed we have been taking care of the asylum seekers for the last 7 years and we have spent more than 40 billions. worrying about them is a concept which can be described as it daily showed the europeans should not have caused their ears to our warnings for the last 7 years we told them numerous times
1:07 pm
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 unfortunately the partner was ignoring us and now i think they are starting to take us seriously. a hotel has collapsed in the southeast of china with more than 40 people reportedly still trapped under the rubble emergency services working at the site say they've managed to rescue 34 people at the moment there's no information about any potential casualties according to local media the hotel was being used as a quarantine site for suspected coronavirus patients it's still not clear at this point what led to the collapse. meanwhile the number of confirmed corona virus cases worldwide has exceeded 100000 the virus is not sparing politicians either with the leader of italy's ruling democratic party testing positive and in the round that the virus has claimed its 1st fatality among lawmakers with over 20 more
1:08 pm
m.p.'s infected as well as the world health organization has warned it's still premature to predict when the outbreak will start to decline. we do not know yet what the activity or the behavior of this why was he would be in different climatic conditions and it's a false hope to say us will just disappear in the summertime like influenza virus we hope it goes i would be a godsend but we can't make that assumption. that over the past 24 hours of 4 more cases have been confirmed in russia bringing the total number in the country to 14 all 4 of the newly identified individuals had recently visited italy authorities say they have traced all those who had contact with them and are putting them under medical supervision many more around russia who have visited virus hotspots have been put into quarantine r.t. russia has this report on how the country is handling the situation.
1:09 pm
the man who was russia's 1st patient came of 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 the communal 13 here is a very interesting virus and it falls the cells into thinking that it contains something beneficial and the cells accept it. if you feel unwell ice difficult to breathe should you go to a hospital you know you need to go all 3 or one or 3 medics will come and assess the situation if they find out that the patient has a serious risk or infection and has been in risk areas then the basement 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 well now in a new municipal hospital while originally started from the initial infection from. province at the moment of the specific moment when i understood the situation was
1:10 pm
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 limit true had been closed but those 8 years i tried entering the metro but it was shot everything was closed to me and the 144 people were evacuated to 2 men from who were on their arrival they were all 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 has infected why. 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 be washing hands. the main recommendations for avoiding infection 1st of all good care of the nose and throat this means rinsing and don't be lazy rinse until you feel your
1:11 pm
airways are clear. thousands of spanish students have rallied in madrid against sex education plans by the right wing box party demonstrators chanted feminist slogans and carried banners denouncing the so-called parental veto underbox as proposal parents would have to give permission for children to join school workshops perceived as ideological that will include classes on sex education gender and other issues like climate change so far only one region has introduced the plans and it's been condemned by the national government but 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 to homophobic family does not have the right to make their children home full because well parental so he cannot be confused with property. in the u.k. to algy bt education has sparked a furious backlash from september classes covering the issue will become compulsory
1:12 pm
there and that has triggered protests among parents particularly from religious communities but the issues up for debate. 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 be doing extremely well for thousands of years is just simply it's not good for 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 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 budget cation the levels of teenage pregnancies and abortions are much much higher
1:13 pm
michael as long as he's close is a thoughtfully and they're 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 gauge and sexual activity when they're ready or 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 pregnancies and rocketing levels of hiv pairing what happens in this country uganda is comparing apples and pears completely inappropriate comparison i would suggest ever since we have seen the introduction of sex education in this. 3 something which is compulsory since 1983 unfortunately there has been a number to go to disaster which has happened in this country we have seen as
1:14 pm
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 extrication 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. as billionaires michael bloomberg and tom star quit the u.s. presidential race critics have suggested they're focused on spending money on it rather than discussing their policies played a part because none 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
1:15 pm
star is living in. donald everyone knows that in 2060 rush aboard 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 styer is or what's so great about him don't worry many americans don't know either he's a failed run for the democratic nomination and outrageous spending on his own campaign style as a 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 somebody tweeted recently that actually with the money he's spending on every american and i in dollars i think ratable way of putting it it's true it's just irving well it's a lot less disturbing if you get the math right quick arithmetic lesson guys
1:16 pm
$500000000.00 divided by $327000000.00 is roughly $1.00 well dollars not 1000000 this aside though style and bloomberg combined spent more than the $750000000.00 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 had to had with the trump yet all these guys zillions failed to secure even one delegate for stare while bloomberg got $61.00 and in case anyone from emerson b. c. is watching it's math time again and that's more than $8000000.00
1:17 pm
a delegate you clearly can't buy the election. 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 party 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 poor in money into his campaign it's difficult to say why according to the middle reports russia spent an unbelievable $100000.00 on online ads remember in tom style as well that was enough to buy trump presidency his hundreds of millions of dollars didn't
1:18 pm
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 at 2016 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. still to come disney cut a popular character from its remake of milan over me 2 concerns on that after the short break.
1:19 pm
as the great american boxer mama dolly once said he who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life risk averse is one thing that someone to catch is not from being a key member of the mit blackjack team to investing in promising migrants into print. but what is a risk and how do you know if it's worth taking. quite a while. 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
1:20 pm
extension of controlling of world energy and oil. welcome back with the craze of rebooting traditional cartoons continuing disney's back in the spotlight for giving malone a me too friendly make up for taylor takes a look in her weekly diary. 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 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 himself no harm come to this he.
1:21 pm
apparently 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 then the time classic cinderella came and while it makes me so anxious just thinking about it but naively i still thought that disney couldn't 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 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
1:22 pm
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 corset. 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 thought was just a teething problem no now princess jasmine had always been a favorite of mine and such a bad ass the princess turning down this handsome prince was left right and center but no that wasn't enough for disney they just have to make her a sultan you want to be sultan but. he's been preparing for this my whole life now i watched all that and i stayed silent but normal because now they've come for
1:23 pm
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 that is also the sexual love interest was very uncomfortable and we didn't think it was appropriate. 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. oh sorry who built a friendship founded on respect with before ok realized he quite like you were telling me that the shine is being ditched i know your out but kid gets to stay home but no that wasn't enough for those brutes disney you know the iconic scene
1:24 pm
where milan chops off her locks. poof gone bob i know i mean i really i just don't know how much more i can take. i what he told you you're also counseled. spoiler a lot don't worry though still the little mermaid. i'm sure disney's got some great plans to ruin those for children all around the world a regional council in the u.k. has been accused of spreading transphobia over international women's day celebrations with more on the story here shouting i would start to 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 the trends around sefton council liverpool has been pressurised into removing flags
1:25 pm
being flown outside its town hall is simply red woman known adult female and while that might be the definition in the oxford english dictionary it's been deemed transphobia. the flag you 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 on the flag through a bottle in south port town halls and have taken them down we have a proud history of supporting l g b t q plus rights across the borough we continue 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
1:26 pm
offensive why would it be offensive feel like. 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. definition of it. 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 transform the word phobic means that one has to fear something i don't think that's the case and i don't i think the word is being brandished around as if it's . possible the sense of other agendas well what a time to be alive it seems like you can't celebrate anything without offending people or at least having opinions polls apart this is a very subjective
1:27 pm
a very relative issue it's an opinion based where you call it flag offensive on a tweet because. you use the dictionary definition of the problem when you give in . because of anonymous or 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 lambaste in these defamatory slanderous remarks on twitter and social media which has been very very harmful to people we have now been entrenched in this culture of fear we're 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
1:28 pm
racist or homophobic or whatever it is. that's our round up of the day's top news for now but i'll be back in about 30 minutes time with part. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability stayner manner more equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is completely harmless. does. it into something companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is something else just want any minute i need money. and. understood
