morning to you watching the weekly here on. super tuesday a major day for primary elections and caucuses in the united states has cut the number of candidates in the democratic race for the presidential nomination with bernie sanders and joe biden leading the way even before super tuesday 2 rivals said that they were quitting to back biden a move seen as a bid to undermine sanders after dropping out following the votes michael bloomberg came out for the former vice president. i am ending my campaign and you are saying joe biden i am delighted to endorse and support joe biden vice president. joe biden and i hope you will join me of working to make him the next president of iran. i would just remind you super tuesday when the largest number of states had the polls the delegates chosen go on to make the final selection for counted it
1:02 am
after an endorsement from beauty judge and close biden won the most states sunders only got 4 states to buy the 10 though one of sunday's victories california had the most delegates the less bob biden still leads the count sunday is blaming quotes the establishment. there is a mess of. votes not a secret to anybody in this room or the corporate establishment is going to go for the political establishment is going to going to do everything for us totally american samoa are awarded a couple of delegates to remains in the rice take part in the next debates till the democratic national committee change the rules again a scale of open expense. 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 the super tuesday vote tulsi gabbert gained
1:03 am
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 she 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 debate stage pathetic the bias against healthy 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
1:04 am
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 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 tulsa's antiwar stance taken as she is a u.s. service member that is the real on forgivable clincher she wants to and regime
1:05 am
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 caleb martin r.t. new york. says that it has stopped around $39000.00 asylum seekers from crossing into the european union from turkey situation escalated after ankara said that it would no longer honor
1:06 am
a migration deal. thought that. was. a lot of. the gutter 7 was. always going to have entered greek territory had been arrested and detained. and in my mind this isn't legal way of entering one country. now on thursday turkey announced the deployment of $1000.00 additional police officers to the border to stop grace driving back asylum seekers migrants are
1:07 am
continuing to try and cross despite to get from both sides in athens farming water cannon and the migrants e.u. foreign ministers about greece following talks on the escalating crisis reporting from the border is artificial the difference. in the judges night they've set up camp these migrants who say they are from syria have succeeded where so many haven't crossed the border from turkey into greece maybe in the one or all on but even the most basic of comforts can come at a cost on the one hand lighting a fine means want for the children on the other it means being visible to the security forces in full and t. is trying to protect greece's borders. greece says it stopped thousands from entering into its borders within the last week of those who have made it through many have been arrested and they have been taken to detention facilities like this
1:08 am
one here behind me that surround 10 miles from the frontier now you can see children playing clothes hung out to dry so despite the barbed wire and the high fences with security posts life goes on greece has just announced that it will create another center in this area to deal with any new cross from turkey the plan is to deport them as soon as possible and while e.u. chiefs have come to greece's aid saying it is acting as europe shield others are more critical of the books position this is a moment to which people is questioning guy davidi existence and the very role of the of the european union not this is we don't have to feel to run after the storm much of the people we must help the people to understand how complex is the life oakum pixie's there is the is the war there and and and showed the ability to have
1:09 am
the political force to fix that and not calling these people and these disparate people. on because calling a greaser shield that means that these people are our weapon for the president and he says the buddha should be opened there is no. act even in the in the policies of the european union that allow the members to suspend. did the right. to request. you know contrary i know that this is a very difficult situation but democracy and the rule of law must apply more than ever in this kind of situation and my opinion francesco. about dignity. the conditions on the border are not dignified he said neither was the existence of many thousands of migrants who live on a day to day basis stuck in limbo in centers like we've seen he's
1:10 am
calling on the e.u. to sort out its issues and to find a solution to the crisis so that countries like greece a no longer left shouldering the burden of migration. even ski r.t. . near the greek turkish border. period blame turkey and demanding. cooperation. this is again a good lesson for us that the european union doesn't soften our problems it only makes the problems worse we paid 6000000000 euros to the turkish regime and what do we get after 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 and sorkin are not a reliable partner or sound so i think that the e.u. should keep the interim council because i think that your piano sex player so cavil
1:11 am
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. following 6 hours of high stakes negotiations in moscow on thursday the leaders of russia and turkey have agreed on a sing so far in syria's water only lip problems they back opposing sides in the conflict which has brought them close to direct confrontation. with 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 solution that the engineers sought at midnight beginning on the 6th of march
1:12 am
a ceasefire will be implemented we will take all necessary steps to ensure it lasts our goal is to do everything possible to prevent the humanitarian situation from deteriorating in the region. the leaders also agreed to set up a 12 kilometer long humanitarian corridor on the key and 4 highway in the center of the province joint patrols along the coastal start next week executive director of the rumpole peace institute told r.t. it's an interest of both moscow and ankara to ensure the 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 there are 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
1:13 am
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 italy province the important thing is that the m. 4 in an m 5 highways will be open up that's important to certainly to russia into syria but let's also remember the area 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 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 row perhaps. the number of coronavirus cases globally has risen to more than 100000 at least government has put the number of regions in the country's north on lockdown to try
1:14 am
to stop the spread of the outbreak and this covers an area housing around a quarter of italy's population due to 3 bands and $1.00 and $2.00 in the region unless for undef work needs or emergency situations those public places including schools means. and cinemas will be closed and public events are banned until the. meanwhile in the southeast of china 4 people have been killed and 38 people rescued after a hotel collapsed according to local media the hotels being used as a quarantine site for suspected her own virus patients about 30 people are still believed to be trapped under the rubble it's not clear what led to the collapse. of the nation's scramble to stem the spread of corona virus here in russia there are so far 14 confirmed cases dozens of people are in quarantine and under observation our senior correspondent also gone through 2 weeks of self isolation at home following a trip to hong kong and he told us what the experience was like and about the other
1:15 am
measures russia is taking to try to keep infections at bay. one of the things you could do you realize as a bearded man is you just look silly in the face mask but this is my only 7 year from hong kong my trip to hong kong and i was only there for a few days while i was there there were hardly any infections or in the weeks since but coming back to moscow the medics here really didn't care so you were treated like anyone else and our 1st taste of what was the card was still in the plane when a lady came aboard and this is while we were still in the plane having landed she took all our measurements our temperatures and she was in full hazmat here so we walked past passport control into the baggage area and there were dozens and dozens of medics in full hazmat get covered head to to taking down everything about us what we did who we we've where we work is all part of a huge russian effort to make sure that the 19 virus didn't gain
1:16 am
a foothold here the monitoring of the epidemiological situation was organized from the initial days of this complex situation additional measures were taken to strengthen sanitary in quarantine control at check points across the russian border 6 new cases of corona virus infections were recorded during the monitoring period in all cases a full range of necessary and see epidemic measures was organized which prevented the subsequent spread of the infection. when they 1st mentioned quarantine i thought would be like a mini vacation you get to sit at home and as it turns out it isn't at all so he calls throughout the day starting in the morning for medics asking how you're feeling when there are any symptoms cough or whatever you also visited by police and medics just to check up on you to make sure that you're still at home i mean eventually out of sheer boredom with the terms of the quarantine agreement
1:17 am
that i signed at the airport and the penalties are pretty severe so for example if if you leave the house to go to the shop which you can then you just leave and nothing nothing happens well that starts a fire and potentially community service if you leave the house or apartment the quarantine zone and you infect someone adds up to a year in jail a year in jail if you infect someone and they go on to die that is up to 5 years in prison which is a pretty severe punishment to. a lot of fear i would say panic would around the world and in russia as well which is which isn't being helped by the fact that there's a lot of misinformation misleading information on the internet for example one russian sub security company for example as identified a message being repeated online that is spreading misinformation and there are
1:18 am
people out there that you know enjoying this. elana good evening i have some bad news there really want to save the people i care about i beg you to spread this information as much as possible our thore days do not want to write for months about this will have to inform each of these leaked information that there are 20000 patients with coronaviruses. masks don't go to crowded places take care of each other and stock up on flickr you know unfortunately it's sad that shops will be empty this information is more than reliable i must devote. the end of the day it's just common sense don't follow advice that you read on the internet and read it for example for the advise that you hear from doctors wash your hands regularly don't touch your face as a bit of personal advice that i can give you if you've got
1:19 am
a trip lined up in the immediate future to a place where this be without break. the korean team isn't worth it. in the way the government says that it will deploy the navy to rip you fishing vessels tough to predict. geysers financial survival does stacy a salad feel out let's say i'm the troika and you're. the fight street spot thank you for. only showing that's right. that's slavery.
1:20 am
join me every day on the i like simon chill and i'll be speaking to the world of politics. i'm sure. i'll see you then. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk. welcome back britain says that it will deploy the navy to prevent the fishing vessels from entering its waters this is becoming a case sticking point in briggs's trade talks explains. the town of
1:21 am
pool 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 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 of warned the e.u. that if their ships try to access british waters they'll deploy the royal navy to keep them out such in the stage for a confrontation on the high seas we have increased a. sufficiently the u.k. 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 annually similar to an
1:22 am
agreement they have with norway they you however wants to have a long term agreement with quotas on fishing mr eustice the deck a 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 always plays 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 of provoking the u.k. into taking harsh measures if fronts do. side to take that action. i think that it would just firm up our argument that we need to. we need to self manage ourselves and on we're fully prepared for things like that which i
1:23 am
don't think it would worry that the u.k. fishermen to talk and we should have our own waters back in the parish we have an adam and. belgians everyone gets bigger quote than the english fisherman so sanction got to be done if the english freshman down and if that would be arrested on the other side of the channel the feeling of mistrust is mutual and the sense is that a confrontation is inevitable but. 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 so this would be a disaster for the fishermen of the horta france but also for french fishermen in general. about this year so we didn't obviously it is a deal or no deal if you do that i think that if you are going towards an o.d.o. u.k. you know as ourselves of the european union up it's not only france who say it would lose a lot anyway it is not in our interests or u.k. interest of it we must find an agreement a great britain is a huge u.k.
1:24 am
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. import. now most of us of looked up at the stars and marveled at the one time or another well enjoy it while it lasts. it's things that were bound to lose the celestial beauty to a swarm of satellites. today's
1:25 am
launch of 60 star led satellites to orbit mark falcon 980 a successful flight. there are so many of them it means astronomers get maybe as much as an hour bright streaks going across the sensitive photographic detectives. and as more satellites are placed into orbit they will become an increasing problem to astronomers on the ground use your smart phone camera to record satellite streaks through the night sky to monitor this problem over time. and. space x. has been a great industry partner for us so they're very excited and we're excited to learn
1:26 am
more about their satellites through the demonstration. they say stay with us here this morning a do join me from the last top stories in half an hour. 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 she is not from being a key member of the mit blackjack team to investing in promising migrants into primrose but what is a risk and how do you know if it's worth taking. time
1:27 am
after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important celery transitions to sustainable prize board sustainability stayner manner a more equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is completely harmless. because. it does not the companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something else this must be going to mean and i mean look. this is the move in the us and we didn't even and einstein. understood the superman.
1:28 am
welcome to front running 2025 banks ties are where stacy herbert and we're taking a forensic deep dive into all the candidates and their positions stacey i think today we're going to take a close look at what we call antiwar yes because we actually had a candidate in these democratic primaries who is anti-war this is one of the really
1:29 am
radical positions in u.s. politics because usually we always have a pro-war candidate and you actually have to show your credentials constantly about how pro-war you are remember hillary clinton was her famous line was we came we saw he died ha ha ha ha ha ha cackle cackle cackle and that was referring to khadafi and libya and joining us to talk about anti war is james howard kunstler and dr michael hudson you were the author of super imperialism so you know about the role of war in exerting this imperialism 1st of all tell us a gabbers position on anti-war has incurred the wrath of the entire political and certainly of the media spectrum is anti-war even a possibility for america well the 1st thing you have to ask any democratic candidate for president is where do you plan to go to war and your administration
1:30 am
because that has been the policy of the democratic party. world war one of course republicans that's. their standard position is we love war we love the military will love the police we love military. spending it is spending money well yeah the jobs program but the democrats always have to pretend like we love the women and children of afghanistan that's why we're going to go bomb them libya we love the people of benghazi we must save these people in benghazi now they don't think about them to gathered she always points out we've been at war since 2001 she signed up because right across the river here from brooklyn we see the twin towers used to be there now it's freedom tower she joined up to go fight in iraq she fought in iraq and now she's the one coming back very rarely do we ever have a candidate who actually didn't get some sort of deferment from ever going to war but she fought this war in terms of.
