5:02 pm
oh a little bit of. america i don't 7 know. i. always go to the greek go to tory has been arrested but. i'm in my mind this is me go way over and during one country. now on thursday turkey announced the deployment of a 1000 additional police officers to the border to stop greece driving back asylum seekers migrants are continuing to try and pass despite tear gas being parted from
5:03 pm
both sides in athens using a water cannon and police have said it will turn back all those attempting to cross illegally and has suspended asylum applications for a month are to show different heat grows along the border to the impact the crisis is having. come further down south we still need greek so i did the border with turkey where newtown called fairies and i just want you to get a sense of the action that's happening all around us we just outside the town hall the local mayors all face 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 and he wasn't here 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 was. full of tension in fact one guy said to me you can
5:04 pm
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 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
5:05 pm
to cross illegally it's going to be a line so we're just coming up to a checkpoint now where they're stopping us. yes us. right now you just official we have to turn around just ok so we're being told we have to turn around we can't go any further. far out for various we spoke the greek on me it 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 at 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 wood and the affair is
5:06 pm
a video. when the migrants camped out on the pool. as we were trying to film. we stopped this my cameraman being scooped it up. like a ministry person out of the border. 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
5:07 pm
said that they would do everything possible to stop an invasion of migrants crossing the border illegally and that is exactly what we 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 auti in ferris thumb period 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 soften our problems it only makes the problems worse we paid 6000000000 euros to the turkish regime and what do we get off to some of the 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. and it is clear that mr. sorkin are not
5:08 pm
a reliable partner and so i think that the e.u. should keep the council because it seems that. have lost a lot. i mean in my view would be an appropriate response for the e.u. to suspend the 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 of bernie sanders and joe biden now leading 4 candidates including the billionaire and former new york mayor michael bloomberg have since said they were quitting to back biden a move seen as a bed to undermine sanders i am ending my campaign and endorsing joe
5:09 pm
biden i 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 going to endorse joe biden for president of the united states there is a. strong. 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 to everybody. a quick reminder super tuesday is when the largest number of states head to the polls the delegates one go on to make their final selection for candidate after endorsements from but a judge and clubbish are biden one of the most states senators only got 4 to biden's 10 though one of sanders victories california has the most delegates to them often 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 oh you know we
5:10 pm
know you believe. in god you know here you're her in the her body. was but now as the spring rolls in the party has descended into panic i think it's a little late to stop and i think that's the problem the game it is pretty much over reading last night about the fall of france in the summer of 1940 and the general run no 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 morning standards but stopping the burning machine is not an easy task after all most rank
5:11 pm
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 that castro and the in the ridge 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 the chair of cuba but you know it's unfair to simply say everything is 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
5:12 pm
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 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 sponsoring things that's absolutely nothing but you know votes but this narrative doesn't seem to work either. so now bernie sanders is accused of being
5:13 pm
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 they want bernie sanders to get elected president that's no surprise he had a motive and 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 b. time to unite behind joe candidates are dropping out perhaps a bit prematurely and putting their energy behind joe biden by just come up a little bit and i don't know what's happened bernie i think they're trying to take it away from him 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
5:14 pm
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 union o'neill spoke to new york city council hopeful morning hoffa 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 biden 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
5:15 pm
brazil got into a heated exchange after a suggestion that the democratic convention would be rigged against theirs 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 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 is essentially you know a real contender and possibly the front runner. this sunday the world has been

after a hotel collapsed according to local media the venue was being used as a quarantine site for suspected coronavirus nations 23 people are still trapped under the rubble and it's still not clear at this point what led to the collapse. as a nation scramble to stem the spread of corona virus here in russia there are so far 17 confirmed cases dozens are in quarantine and under medical observation. 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 was taking to keep the infection at bay. 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
5:21 pm
anyone else and our 1st taste of what was to come was still in the play 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 as makin 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 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
5:22 pm
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 all so you have called 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 and you just leave and nothing nothing happens well that's that's a vibe the tension a community service if you leave the house or apartment the quarantine zone and you
5:23 pm
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 there 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 form us about this we'll have to inform each other about this leaked information there are 20000 patients with corona virus
5:24 pm
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 on. the end of the day it's just common sense don't follow advice that you read on the internet and breaded 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 go to true blood up in the immediate future to a place where there's been that break don't go the quarantine isn't worth it. as the impassioned climate activism of the swedish team got to tunbridge continues to inspire millions of young people around the world it seems resistance to her movement is also growing 1000 year old. shot to popularity in recent months for her
5:25 pm
advocacy of what she calls climate realism she denounced as environmental alarmism and in the process has been dubbed the anti gretta we spoke to naomi 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 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 to be more enlightened 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
5:26 pm
a german media outlet that stopped at the 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 play in this label and well if the media wants to portray us anti-graft of them go ahead but you don't state for the anti-gravity you stay for the night you come for the anti-graft and you can stay for the night because i am not against the top 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 and i demanded that government control the lives of all of the people. and that really has nothing to do with
5:27 pm
scientists and skepticism anymore and that's really what's so hopeful about all of this. just some of the stories that help shape the world these last 7 days probably this and up to the minute reports follow us on twitter or facebook. as the great american buxom ahmed ali once said he who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life risk averse is one thing that is not from being a key member of the mit blackjack team to investing in promising migrants into print. but what is a risk and how do you know if it's worth taking. good

food descriptions. even for the owners so to choose this cat food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out and may not be as healthy as people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets streets a larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research.
