leaflets norbi pulse is on lockdown amid the coronavirus outbreak creeping streets of tourists meccas like milan looking eerily empty and coping with quarantine in russia. describes his 2 weeks and isolation after a trip to hong kong. with the 1st mention i thought would be like good. little hope as it turns out it isn't abdul. hello there the latest news and a look back at the last 7 days you're watching a weekly here an r.t. international i agree says it has prevented iran 39000 asylum seekers from crossing into the you from turkey situation escalated after chris said it would no longer on a deal on migration.
12:02 pm
oh a little bit of. america 0 7. i. always go to the greek territory who believe in the rest of the day. i mean my mind this isn't me go the way of entering one country. but on thursday turkey announced the deployment of a 1000 additional police officers to the border to stop greece driving back the asylum seekers migrants are continuing to try and cross despite
12:03 pm
a gas being fired from both sides nothin's using a water cannon greece has said it will turn back all those attempting to cross illegally and have suspended asylum applications for a month devinsky drove along the border to see the impact the crisis has. come further down south we still on the greek so i did the border with turkey where new 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 war to the turkish border and forming some kind of human chain tonight to ensure that there are no illegal crossings only for 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 10 . the mood was full of tension in fact one guy said to me you can feel it.
12:04 pm
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 document was 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 a line so we're just coming up to
12:05 pm
a checkpoint. where they're stopping us. yes us. right now 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 on me in what looks like illegal my comments 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 to receive an update from the volunteers who are not securing the greek food and the. faris
12:06 pm
a video showing the migrants camped out on the border. as we were trying to film. we were stopped this my cameraman being scooped it up by well like a ministry person out to the border. so it 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
12:07 pm
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. turkey for the crisis tonight demanding that brussels ends all 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 we get after some 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
12:08 pm
hat store caves are not a reliable partner and 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 have major day primary elections and caucuses in the u.s. is cut the number of candidates in the democratic race for the presidential nomination but then he sanders and joe biden now are leading 3 candidates including the billionaire and former new york mayor michael bloomberg said that they were quitting to back biden a move seen as a bid to undermine sanders. i am ending my campaign and
12:09 pm
endorsing joe biden in the end to us joe biden and i hope you will join me i'm delighted to endorse and support joe biden for president. there is a. drawing where he said it's not a secret that anybody in this room are going to get a vote and they will do everything just to remind you simply change day is when the largest number of states steve had to the polls delegates chosen go on to make the final selection for the candidate. biden won the most states and saunders only got 4 states to biden's 10 with a one of sounds is fake she's was in california which does have the most delegates breaks down not have the nissan this 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 really was the
12:10 pm
it was you know here you're probably very well in the it would be 3. years without knowing. it was the 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 dungeon torture and exile he's been pretty clear that's what he supports morning standards but stopping the burning machine is not an easy task after all most rank and file democrats more or less agree with his policies so here's. well the operation has
12:11 pm
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 the reds had won the cold war there would be executions in such a 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 is not a bad think 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
12:12 pm
fidel castro enough a dog legacy of forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people but issue of money let's talk about his literacy program but most millenniums 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 the 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 sponsoring things that's absolutely anathema to your vote says 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
12:13 pm
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 by does come up a little bit and i don't know what's happened early 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.
12:14 pm
went guns blazing to end his bid for the white house now will they be so lucky the 2nd time caleb mopp and archie new york i called again and he'll did speak with the new york city council who says she does think that the democratic party's national committee is doing all it can to stop signs. democrats everybody falls in line they line up so perfectly everybody. you know throws their way to support by so you know that in that respect you sort of see how you know the democratic party's for coalescing and micromanaging every way that they can support. 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 we can listen
12:15 pm
together to just what was said hello of our race i get sick and tired and for people to use russian talking points to sell 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 and it's actually really really infuriating because what it is 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 a real contender and possibly the front runner. the number of coronavirus cases globally exceeded 100000 this week in a sleaze government does not put its northern provinces on what dime in the bid to
12:16 pm
contain the spread of the break in the country with a new measures to cover an area which is home to around a quarter of the city's population banding anybody leaving or entering the region unless for under 30 who work needs or emergency situations and as you can see on the screen here the typically busy streets of one of italy's tourist mecca is milan . almost empty with the number of confirmed coronavirus cases rising by 1200 in a single day most public events are banned across the country until early april meanwhile in the south east of china 10 people have been killed there and 38 rescued after a hotel collapsed according to local media the venue was being used as a quarantine site for suspected coronavirus patients 23 people are still trapped and you can still not clear what caused the building to collapse. well as nations do scramble to stem the spread of the corona virus here in russia there are so far
12:17 pm
17 confirmed cases dozens are in quarantine and also one the medical observation artie's marie gas they have has been through 2 weeks of self isolation at home following a trip to hong kong he did tell us what the experience was like and back to the other measures russia is taking to keep the infection back. one of the things you quickly realize as a bearded man is you just look silly in a 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're treated like anyone else and our 1st taste of what was to come was still on the plane when a lady came aboard and 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
12:18 pm
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 epidemy illogical situation was organized from the initial days of this complex situation additional measures were taken to strengthen sanitary and quarantine control at checkpoints across the russian border over the past 24 hours 3 cases of corona virus infection have been identified in russia all these individuals have visited italy in the last 2 weeks at present a total of 17 cases of corona virus infection have been identified in russia. when they 1st mentioned quarantine i thought would be like a mini vacation you get to sit at home as it turns out it isn't at
12:19 pm
all so you have calls throughout the day starting in the morning for medics asking how you're feeling whether any symptoms cough or whatever you also had visited by police and medics just to check up with you to make sure that you are still at home i mean eventually out of sheer boredom are pawns of the. quarantine agreement that i side of the airport and the battle t's 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 potentially community service if you leave the house or apartment the quarantine zone and you and feds 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. a lot of fear i would say
12:20 pm
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 has identified a 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 there really want to save the people i care about i beg you to spread this information as much as possible if our thora g.'s do not want to inform us about this we'll 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 i fortunately it's sad that shops will be empty this information is more than reliable. the end of the do just common
12:21 pm
sense don't follow advice that you read on the internet and breaded for example followed vies did you hear from doctors jabal wash your hands regularly don't touch your fish. 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 those believe that break. the quarantine isn't worth it. was artie's matter of gas here now is the impassioned climate activism the swedish thing. continues to inspire millions of young people around the world it also seems to that resistance to her movement is also growing a 19 year old you to behave in a shot to popularity in recent months for her at the advocacy of what she calls climate realism she denounces environmental alarmism and in the process has been the anti but we did speak to me about why she decided to weigh in on this debate
12:22 pm
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 and just wanted to strike 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 spirit 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
12:23 pm
just like that but then i thought let's just have fun with it and let's just claim 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 night i always act you come for the anti-graft and you can stay for the night on music because i am not against guitar 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 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. following 6 hours of high stakes negotiations in moscow this thursday the
12:24 pm
leaders of russia and turkey have agreed on a ceasefire in syria's war torn province they back opposing sides in the conflict which has brought them close to direct confrontation. if. you disagree but we don't always agree with our 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. is sought at midnight beginning on the 6th of march a cease fire will be implemented in aid 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. that it is also agreed to set up a 12 kilometer long security corridor or 6 kilometers north and 6 kilometers south of syria's k.m. for motorway that runs through the area the 2 countries also agreed to start joint
12:25 pm
patrols along the highway that the executive director of the one paul pace since she did tell us that it is in the interests 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 province which amazingly settled down once it was liberated from the from the control of jihad it's 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 heir to one is having some problems back home there's
12:26 pm
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. not britain says it will deploy the navy to prevent. it has become a king sticking points in the brakes to try talks is now. 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.
12:27 pm
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. petition 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 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 the 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 have 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
12:28 pm
symbols and we know how to make it a very i think about 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 elements decided to take that action. i think that it would just from apology meant that we need to. we need to self manage ourselves and on fully prepared for 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 have adam and if it's belgium's fides everyone gets bigger quote those than the english freshman so if sanctions are to be done if the english freshman down and if and 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
12:29 pm
a day finale we haven't really been informed we hope this case is looking up because if there were no negotiations it would mean 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 whole to france but also for french fishermen in general. ah but since you're say obviously it is a deal or no deal but i think that if you are going towards a new deal the u.k. as also was 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 make great britain. a 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. and it's just coming up to 7 and even here in moscow you've been watching the
12:30 pm
