the stories that shaped the week an arty greek load of police clashed with asylum seekers at the front a with turkey is a ride with ankara. parties spent a night on the front line. to reach the. driving out towards the front in the hope of getting a sense of what's going to happen as we were trying to fill we stopped this my camera being school teacher. looks like a military person. joe biden bernie sanders now lead the race for the us democratic presidential nomination following the all important super tuesday but with the amount of endorsements biden's now had from those that have dropped out there is a growing belief that the party establishment has already shown your preference and

it's really puts its northern provinces on lockdown with the coronavirus break with the streets of course is like the land looking eerily empty and coping with quarantine in russia. describes his 2 weeks in self isolation after a trip to hong kong. when they 1st mentioned quarantine i thought would be like. home as it turns out it isn't. hello there the latest developments in a look back what's been happening over the last week to you watching the weekly here and r.t. international. says it has prevented around $39000.00 asylum seekers from crossing into the e.u. from turkey the situation escalated after ankara said it would no longer on or

a deal on migration. oh a little bit of. a poem. i. always go to the greek territory has been the rest of the day. and in my mind this is me go way over entering one country. but on thursday turkey and as the deployment of a 1000 additional police officers to the border to stop greece driving back the

saddam say because migrants are continuing to try to cross despite gas being fired from both sides and not a water cannon greece has said it will turn back all those attempting to cross illegally and has suspended asylum applications for a month. you could drive along the border to see the impact the crisis is having come further down south was still on the greek so i did the border with turkey where no town called ferries and i just want you to get a sense of the action that's happening all around us we're just outside the town hall the local mayor's office and it looks like people are gathering here in the anticipation of going to wards the turkish border and forming some kind of human chain tonight to ensure that there are no illegal crossings from turkey so we didn't get to speak to them he wasn't hit tonight but we did get to speak to many of the people who were taking part in the sachin and they all seem to be pretty

tense knew the mood. it's full of tension in fact one guy said to me you can feel it. everybody is here tonight because we want to help greece protect its borders from any kind of illegal migration we see people from bangladesh afghanistan anywhere from places that have nothing to do with war and they come to our country essentially the e.u. we think europe should change its stance and contribute to send a strong message to turkey only because the policies of previous years that these people to enter our country without carrying any permit or documents would have a very big mistake and created issues of inequality greece is not it is european country but europe should support it because until now greece is not going supported we've left the town the whole now we're driving out towards the front in the hope of getting a sense of what's going to happen on the border overnight to get a sense of what this human chain to protect the greek borders from anybody trying

to cross illegally it's going to be the line so we're just coming up to a checkpoint. where they're stopping us. yes. but no you just official we have to turn around just ok so we're being told that we have to turn around we can't go any further. far out from ferris we spoke the greek call me in what looks like illegal migrants on this side of the road. we've had a chat with the offices they said we can't film but they have confirmed that they found the 2 illegal immigrants trying to cross the mood where we are in the square planned pint and they told us that 2 individuals from afghanistan will receive an update from the volunteers who are not securing the greek food and the affair is

a video. showing migrants camped out on the border. as we were trying to film. we was stopped this my cameraman being scooped it up by well like a military person out to up to the border. so just an update on that situation all that's been smooth but we have moved away from the border because of see we don't want to create more tension with the security personnel that are there but it gives you a sense of how much tension there is here given the fact that the volunteers are out willing to be in the middle of nowhere in the way to secure their borders the fact that we were told not to come anywhere near the border that the greek prime

minister said this week that his country wouldn't be blackmailed by turkey and he said that they would do everything possible to stop an invasion of migrants crossing the border illegally and that is exactly what we're seeing in towns like this that ability for people to take up their own norms and to go to the borders to protect greece from anybody trying to cross even ski r.t. in ferris well some blame in turkey for the crisis and i demanding that brussels and cooperation with the country. 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 do 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 in february it is

clear that mr hat store caves are not a reliable partner or sound so i think that the e.u. should secure the interim council because i think that european and sec speyer certainly have a 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. super tuesday a major day for primary elections and caucuses in the us has cut the number of candidates in the democratic race for the presidential nomination with any sanders and joe biden leading 3 candidates including the billionaire and former new york mayor michael bloomberg said they were quitting to bank biden a move seen as a bid to undermine sundress. i am ending my campaign and endorsing

joe biden the i enjoy us joe biden and i hope you will join me i'm delighted to endorse and support joe biden for president. there is the merits of the drawing board he said but it's not a secret that anybody in this room or the corporate establishment is going to go to the political establishment is going to go in there it will do everything just reminds me then super tuesday is when the largest number of states had the post delegates chosen to go on to make the final selection for a candidate. biden won the most states songes they only got 4 states to biden's 10 however one of the says trees was california which does have the most delegates and brights that now bernie sanders has come under attack from his rivals. it's been a long winter for the democrats they've been feeling the cold burn oh you know we

know you believe it was the it was going to hit your primary in the it would be. worse in the years where no one did it that it was in the but now as the spring rolls in the party has descended into panic i think it's a little late to stop for that i think does the problem the game it is pretty much over reading last night about the fall of france in the summer of $940.00 and then general reno closer to churchill and says it's over can either coronavirus or bernie sanders be stopped totally transform society with firing squads dungeons torture and exile so he's been pretty clear that's what he supports many standards but stopping the burning machine is not an easy task after all most. file democrats

more or less agree with his policies so here's how the operation has moved forward . the reds are coming trigger those cold war terrorists socialism is a threat to american freedom see that hammer and sickle and be afraid be very very afraid i believe if castro and in the rich had won the cold war there would be executions in central park and i might have been one of the ones getting executed and certain other people would be there cheering let's not forget that bernie sanders once praised cuba's achievements in terms of literacy and health care were very opposed to be authoritarian nature of cuba but you know it's unfair to simply say everything goes but you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a massive literacy program it's not a bad thing after 4 years of looking on in horror as trump cozied up to dictators we need a president who will be extremely clear in standing against regimes that violate

human rights abroad we can't risk nominating someone who doesn't recognize this fidel castro and if a dog and i can see it forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people. let's talk about his literacy program but most millennia old don't even remember the cold war communism doesn't really scare them and socialism certainly doesn't so time for plan b. . now bernie sanders is accused of splitting an already weak and fractured democratic party why we would risk this extraordinary opportunity by nominating somebody who has a tendency to divide their own side is beyond me furthermore sanders is accused of having views that just won't fly in a general election the face of the democratic policy might be spouting things that's absolutely nothing but see overdoses but this narrative doesn't seem to work either. so now bernie sanders is accused of being a russian plot to undermine american democracy this claim is repeated by other

presidential candidates as well as robert o'brien the national security advisor and his sources are named though these reports that the they want bernie sanders to get elected president that's no surprise he honeymooned moscow and it turns out that in fact bernie sanders once even visited russia you know years ago back when it was called the soviet union yeah that's pretty old news scraping the barrel let's go on to plan d. . time to unite behind joe candidates are dropping out perhaps a bit prematurely and putting their energy behind joe biden does come up a little bit and i don't know what's happened i think they're trying to take it away from i don't know if that's fair but i guess it's politics when you get right down to it what's fair why throw in the towel so early well they've got to do everything in their power to defeat bernie sanders in 2016 leaked e-mails revealed

by wiki leaks show that the d.n.c. went in guns blazing to end his bid for the white house now will they be so lucky the 2nd time caleb mop and are to new york well michael the union did speak with new york city council. she does think that the democratic party's national committee is doing all it can to stop tsongas. democrats everybody falls in line they line up so perfectly everybody. you know throws their way to support by so you know in that in that respect you sort of see how you know the democratic party is her coalescing and micro-managing every way that they can support biden. and you know i see it you know bernie sanders he said the system was rigged you can see how it's being rigged against him former democratic chair donna brazil got into

a heated exchange after a suggestion that the democratic convention would be rigged against sunders we can listen together to just what was said hello of our race i get sick and tired and for people to use russian talking points to so division among americans that is stupid so rather go to hell that is completely absurd i mean this is the same donna brazil who would pass questions to hillary clinton so hillary would have you know an unfair advantage in the debates against her instanter so i mean that. this is completely absurd it's actually really really infuriating because what it is you know it's really the democratic party trying to cover their tracks and really not so well in the fact that they're really working against you know bernie sanders who really essentially you know. possibly. the number of coronavirus cases globally exceeded 100000 this week in

a sleaze government has now put its northern provinces on lockdown and in a bid to contain the spread of the outbreak in the country the new measures cover an area which is home to around a quarter of a city's population banding anybody leaving or entering the region unless for the furball work needs or emergency situations where you can see here from the screen the tipton busy streets of one of italy's tourist mecca is milan pretty much empty at the moment with the number of confirmed corona virus cases rising by 1200 in a single day most public events are banned across the country until early april in the south east of china 10 people have been killed and $38.00 rescued after a hotel there collapsed according to local media event he was being used as a quarantine charge for suspected coronavirus patients 23 people still trapped in the rubble it's not clear at this stage why the building collapsed. now is

nations do scramble to stem the spread of the corona virus here in russia there are so fast 17 confirmed cases dozens are in quarantine and under medical observation. has been through 2 weeks of self isolation at home and cell following a trip to hong kong he did tell us what the experience was like and also about the other measures russia is taking to keep infection. one of the things you could do you realize as a bearded man is you just look silly in a face mask but this is my only should be near 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're treated like anyone else and our 1st taste of what was to come was still in the plane when a lady came aboard and which this is while we were still in the plane having landed

she took all our measurements are temperatures and she was in full has mackin 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 toe taking down everything about us what we did who we were with where we were this is all part of a huge russian effort to make sure that the 1000 virus didn't gain 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 is and after

all he had calls throughout the day starting in the morning for medics asking how you're feeling when there are any symptoms call call whatever you also get visited by police and medics just to check up wouldn't that make sure that you are still at home i mean eventually out of sheer boredom are homes of the quarantine agreement that i signed at the airport and the battle teasin are pretty severe so for. example of if you leave the house to go to the shop which you can and you just leave and nothing nothing happens well that's that's a fine potentially community service if you leave the house or apartment the quarantine zone and you invent someone adds up to a year in jail a year in jail if you think someone and they go on to die that is up to 5 years in prison which is a pretty severe punishment. 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 was identified the message being repeated online that is spreading misinformation there are people out the you know enjoying this. lana good evening i have some bad news they're really want to save the people i care about i beg you to spread this information as much as possible if our thora these do not want to inform us about this will have to inform each other about this leaked information there are 20000 patients with corona virus in moscow walk with masks don't go to crowded places take care of each other and stock up on food unfortunately it's sad that shops will be empty this information is more than reliable. into the day it's just

common sense don't follow advice that you read on the internet and read it for example followed vies that you hear from doctors example wash your hands regularly don't touch your face. as a bit of personal advice that i can give you if you've got a trip lined up in the immediate future to a place where there's people that break don't go the quarantine isn't worth. it is more aghast here now is the impassioned climate activism the swedish teen gratitude continues to inspire millions of young people around the world it also seems to me that resistance to her movement is growing 19 year old you tube and i'm ziba has shot to popularity in recent months for her receive what she calls climate realism she announces environmental alarmism and in the process has been dubbed the anti grettir but we did speak to ny me about why she decided to weigh in on the debate and what she's hoping to achieve. most people on the site of

climate alarmism if you will label us the climate deniers and that is a term that i really dislike because it sounds like we don't really look into the science we don't do our research we just hate the planet just wanted to destroy this and we're just selfish and ignorant and that's not what we're about we're about being scientific skeptics and looking into more sensible yet ways to improve the environment and to be more in line with our values when it comes to interacting with nature and so yeah that's what climate realism is about it's about scientific skepticism and having more discussions in the scientific sphere it was a german media outlet that started this thing in the 1st place and it was to. portray me as kind of this evil anti-christ on the left on the right and i really

just like that but then i thought let's just have fun with it and let's just explain this label and well if the media wants to portray us antigravity then go ahead but you don't state for the anti-gravity you stay for the no music you come for the anti-graft or you can stay for the night because i am not against get up i think she is probably a super nice individual innocent in all of this and i don't have anything against her it's just that she is not about the science she's basically just about panic and telling people to change their lives entirely i demanded that government control the lives of all of the people and those are everywhere and that i believe has nothing to do with science and skepticism anymore and that's really what's so awful about all of this. this week 2 whistle blows hit back at the world chemical weapons watchdog issuing responses to an earlier inquiry by the a p c

w they organize a. previously said that the pair had gone rogue after they publicly criticize its conclusions about an alleged chemical attack in duma in syria 2 years ago in their letter to the director general of the 2 and i demand a scientific hearing accusing the watchdog of ignoring their work. inspect to be annoyed tried on many occasions to meet with you you may also know or perhaps 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 ny 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 back 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 grown 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 qualification. 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 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 open c w 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 the 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 a leak and some back and forth later there are still so many questions and few answers as to what really happened. of course the report and what we did. for its reaction to the claims and say we haven't had a reply in the meantime though we did speak to the former f.b.i. agent a whistleblower only really he suspects a smear campaign the watchdog. 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 allegation that they went rogue makes no sense at all they're close to retire you know they have done 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 one side is not telling the truth here the entity that changed conclusions. reports would be the suspected entity that is not telling the truth. and you've been watching the wait here not a thank you company but again at the top yet.

welcome to worlds apart as the great american boxer muhammad ali once said he who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life and from being a key member of the mit blackjack team to investing in promising migrant interpreters risk averse is one thing that my guest today absolutely is not but what is a risk and how do you know if it's worth taking well to discuss that i'm now joined by. a russian american investor a businessman turned and calculated risk taker good to see you thank you very much for coming over. now as i was for.
