that's man or woman. in the stories that shape the week border police clash with asylum seekers at the frontier where turkey and their raw with anger over refugees. are to spend a night on the front line of thousands bramble to reach the e.u. . to troy being out towards the front in the hope of getting a sense awful what's going to happen to us we were trying to film we've stopped this my cameraman being school teacher i will looks like ministry post. joe biden and bernie sanders of not only the race for the u.s. democratic presidential nomination the all important super tuesday but with the amount of endorsements from those who have dropped out there's

a growing belief the party establishment has already shown its friends. and italy puts its northern provinces on lockdown amid the corona virus outbreak but the streets of tourists like milan looking. and coping with quarantine in russia are too broad to have described his to be and i have a leash and after a trip to hong kong. with leaves mentioned. it would be like. as if. it is a pool. this is the weekly here on r t international welcome to our roundup of the headlines that shape the week. greece 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 honor

a deal on migration. it was. a little bit of. a kind of 0 7. i. always go to the greek kodori have been arrested but. i mean my mind this is going to go way over and during one country. on thursday turkey announced the deployment of a 1000 additional police officers to the border to stop groups driving back the

asylum seekers migrants are continuing to try and cross despite tear gas being fired from both sides and athens using a water cannon grease test that it will turn back all those attempting to cross illegally and has suspended asylum applications for a month are to charlotte evans he drove along the border to see the impact the crisis is having. come further down south we still need greeks so i did the border with turkey we're in a town called fairies 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 mayors all face and it looks like people are gathering here in the anticipation is 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 the man 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 seemed 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 it 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 for documents 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 has not been 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 that they believe it's going to be a line so we're just coming up to a checkpoint. where they're stopping 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 for various 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 software 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 affair is

a video. showing migrants camped out on the border. as we were trying to film. we stopped this my cameraman being scooped it up by will like a military personnel tool 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 now 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 for r.t. in ferris. from paris i mean piers blame turkey for the crisis and are now demanding brussels and 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 do we get after several years we only get blackmailed again so it is the end the gun just wants more money from us and this has to stop infinity is clear that mr.

sorkin are not a reliable partner and so i think that the e.u. should keep the interim council because i think that your piano sex have 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 u.s. has cut the number of candidates in the democratic race for the presidential nomination but bernie sanders and joe biden a leading 4 candidates including the billionaire and former new york mayor michael bloomberg have since said that they were quitting to back biden a move seen as a bid to undermine sanders. 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. i have decided that i and with great enthusiasm is going to endorse joe biden for president of the united states there is a mess of trying to stop what 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 get a vote and they will do everything. a quick reminder super tuesday is when the largest number of states head to the polls the delegates want to go on to make their final selection for candidate after endorsements from who to judge and call bashar biden won the most states standards only got 4 to buy $101.00 of sanders victorious california have the most delegates are to scale breaks down how 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 you know we know you believe. in god you know here you're right in the 43. years. 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 1940 and then general reno cause of 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 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 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 reds 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 they tour 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 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 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 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 you know voters 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 with the other good join 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 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. earlier my colleague unit o'neill spoke to new york city council hopeful marnia she thinks the democratic party's national committee is doing all it can to stop sanders. 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 is her coalescing and micromanaging 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 we can listen together to just what was said hello of our race i get a 2nd term 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 the questions to hillary clinton so hillary would have you know an unfair advantage in the debates against foreign santer 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 is essentially you know

a real contender and possibly the front runner. this sunday the world has been marking international women's day thousands gathered to take part in marches to champion what's been achieved but also still what needs to be done to promote equality. i. think. as you can think clashes broke out between marchers and police in the turkish city of istanbul rights activists gathered to condemn violence demand appalled the and. what they said was the oppression against women and the country that really harbor it was not authorized by the authorities there just like your poor back in 200-1000 marchers still chose to gather but they were met with tear gas and rightfully. predicted. that. meanwhile demonstrators in several french

cities took to the streets on women's day organizers said the parades were to promote a call the animals patient was joining the growing in paris march through the center of the city hall and banners against violence and sexism towards women. and masked men disrupted a women's day rally in the central asian republic of kurdistan tearing down the banners of the protestors this marching has been demanding support for women and children's rights in the country as well as protesting against domestic violence there authorities claim they arrested the men along with some of the women demonstrating but local media reports claim it was mostly women detained as the rally was not authorized there either. still to come in the weekly a rare sight in one of italy's main tourist attractions milan as the coronavirus scares the usual swarms of tourists away from its streets that story and more after the break.

they're going to adoption is driven by banks failing and countries trailing and now

in lebanon they've got a huge crisis and of course big points come to the rescue. welcome back the number of coronavirus cases globally has exceeded 100000 least government has now put its northern provinces on lockdown and 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 italy's population betting anyone leaving or entering the region and last for under for a ball work needs or emergency situations now as you can see the typically busy streets of one of italy's tourist mecca are almost empty but the number of confirmed coronavirus cases rising by 1200 in

a single day public events are banned across the country until early april. meanwhile in the south east of china 10 people have been killed and 38 rescued after a hotel collapsed according to local media the venue is being used as a quarantine site for suspected one a virus haitians 23 people are reportedly still trapped under the rubble it's still not clear at this point what led to the collapse. as a nation scramble to stem the spread of coronavirus here in russia there are so far 17 confirmed cases dozens are in quarantine and under medical observation. of has been through 2 weeks of self isolation at home following a trip to hong kong he told us what the experience was like and about the other measures russia is taking to keep the infection at bay. one of the things you could do you realize that man is. it's not silly in the face months 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 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 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 $1000.00 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 and as it turns out it isn't at all so you have called throughout the day starting in the morning for medics ask you how you're feeling whether there are any symptoms cough or whatever you also get 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 poems of the quarantine agreement that i signed at the airport and the betel teasin are. pretty severe so for example if if you leave the house to go to the shop which you can and

you just leave and nothing nothing happens well that starts a fire then she community service if you leave the house or apartment the quarantine zone and you unfed 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 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 cyber 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 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 coronavirus 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. 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 been that break don't go the quarantine isn't worth. britain says it will deploy the navy to prevent

a new fishing vessels from entering its waters it's becoming a key sticking point in the brics a trade talks is al explains. 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. 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 of 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 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 are provoking the u.k. into taking harsh measures if france 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 we are 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 . everyone gets bigger quote than the english fisherman so want to be done if the english fisherman down and if. we'd 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 definitely know 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. about since you're obviously it is a deal or no deal but i think that if you are going towards a new deal the u.k. as i saw 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 with 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. that's been the weekly thanks for tuning in. why do we 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 pipeline through afghanistan so the military is really an extension of controlling of world energy and. oil. runs. they all. are. sold. yes to all this is how the. least.

i interviewed women civilian world and rape is a very very traumatizing thing to have happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma. i cannot remember how many times a young female marine that had been raped or sexually assaulted told me that she looked at these guys as your brother or the suspect as your brother it's a kin to what happens in a family with incest because you know in the military when we're functioning at our best piece of unit with brothers and sisters of the band of brothers and sisters i mean we are family when that bomb.
