in the stories that shaped this week greek border police clash with asylum seekers at the frontier with. party spent on the frontline. driving out the front. we've stopped my camera being schooled. by looks like a mystery person. in the race for the u.s. democratic presidential nomination following the all important super tuesday. that. is a growing belief the party has already shown its. northern
10:01 pm
provinces with the corona virus outbreak. with quarantine in russia. for a trip to hong kong. as . it is a. lie from moscow thanks for joining us in the international welcome to the program 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 deal on migration.
10:02 pm
all over the 7. oh god i. always go to the greek voted tory has been arrested. and in my mind this isn't me go away one turning one country. it's hurricane out the deployment of $1000.00 additional police officers to the border to stop greece driving back the asylum seekers moderates are continuing to try to cross the spot tear gas being fired from both sides in athens using
10:03 pm
a lot of kind of grease has said it will turn back all those attempting to cross illegally and has suspended a softening up locations for a month shot at the whisky drove 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 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 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 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 feel it.
10:04 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 the largest political policies of previous years that these people to enter our country without carrying any permit or document would have a very big mistake and created issues of inequality greece is not alone 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 here in the hope of getting a sense of what's going to happen along 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 a checkpoint. where they're stopping us. yes.
10:05 pm
but no you just official we have to turn around just ok so we're being told we have to turn around we can't go. not far out from ferris we spoke the greek on 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 script land behind and they told just 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 the migrants camped out on the border.
10:06 pm
as we were trying to film. we were stopped this my cameraman being scooped it up by well like ministry personnel to watch 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
10:07 pm
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 auti in ferris. well some furious blame turkey for the crisis on another morning brussels ends all corporation with a neighbor this is again a good lesson for us there to european union and doesn't soften our problems it only makes the problems worse we paid $6000000000.00 euros to the turkish regime and what do we get after several years we only get blackmailed again so does the other 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.
10:08 pm
should keep the interim council because i think that 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 can that it's in the democratic race for the presidential nomination with 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 bid on the minus. i am ending my campaign and you are saying that i am i going to join us joe biden and i hope you will join me i'm delighted to
10:09 pm
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 through everything. just to remind you super tuesday is when the largest number of states head to the polls gets one to go one to make the final selection for candidates. but one of the most states saunas only got 4 states to bought and one of his victories california has the most delegates kind of open breaks down how buddy saunders has repeatedly 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. in
10:10 pm
god you know here you're her in the her body. 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 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 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
10:11 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 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 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 dictator. 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
10:12 pm
fidel castro and if a dog can see 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 c.e.o. votes 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
10:13 pm
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 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 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 and 2016 leaked e-mails revealed by wiki leaks show that the d.n.c.
10:14 pm
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. mark foley do you know neil spoke to new york city or council hopeful molly how she thinks the democratic qualities national committee is doing all it can to slopes on the. democrats everybody falls in line they line up so perfectly everybody drops. and you know throws their way to support biden so you know in 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 wouldn't be rigged against we can
10:15 pm
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 essentially you know a real contender and possibly the front runner. this sunday the world has been marking international women's day thousands gather to take part in march was to champion what's been achieved but also what still needs to be done to promote
10:16 pm
equality i broke out between marchers and police in the turkish city of istanbul rights activists gathered to condemn violence them on equality an end what they said was the oppression against women in the country that rally however wasn't authorized by your forty's there just like the year before in 2019 march you still chose to gather but were met with tear gas and white police. and. am i. mean while demonstrators in several french cities took to the streets on women's day organizers said the parade was to promote equality and emancipation those jordan the rally in paris marched through the center of the city holding banners against violence and sexism towards women. and was tremendous dropped at a women's they rally in the central asian republic of kyrgyzstan tearing down the
10:17 pm
banners of the protesters those marching and demanding the 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 demonstrators local media reports claim it was mostly women detained as the rally wasn't authorized. number of coronavirus cases globally has exceeded 100000 government has now put its northern provinces on lockdown 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 italy's population and banning anyone leaving the renter in the region unless for under fire will work needs or emergency situations as you can see on the screen the typically busy streets of one of italy's tourist makers malana almost empty with the number of confirmed coronavirus cases rising by 1200 in a single day most public events. banned across the country until early april. when as nations scramble to stem the spread of coronavirus here in russia there are
10:18 pm
so far night as 17 confirmed cases dozens are in quality and under medical supervision and lottie's more against the of has been through 2 weeks of self isolation at home that follow his trip to hong kong you told us what the experience was like and about the other measures russia is taking to keep the infection and bay. one of the things you quickly realize as a bearded man is you just look silly in the face months 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 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 has mackin so we walked past passport control into the baggage area and there were dozens and dozens
10:19 pm
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 would take 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 asking
10:20 pm
how you're feeling whether any symptoms cough or whatever you also get visited by police and medics just to check up with the make sure that you are still at home i mean eventually out of sheer boredom are pawns of the. quarantine agreement that i signed at the airport and the battle 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
10:21 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 was identified the message being repeated online that is spreading misinformation there are people out there that 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 coronavirus 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. in the day it's just common sense
10:22 pm
don't follow advice that you read on the internet and read it for example followed vice 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 an outbreak. the quarantine isn't worth it. but this week 2 whistleblowers hit back at the world chemical weapons watchdog issuing responses to an earlier inquiry by the o p c w we're going to nation previously said the pair had gone rogue after they publicly criticized its conclusions about an alleged chemical attack and do more in syria 2 years ago in a letter to the director general the 2 now demand a scientific hearing accusing the watchdog of ignoring their work. inspect to be and i 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
10:23 pm
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 cast 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
10:24 pm
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 backed by evidence their behaviors even more egregious as they had manifestly incomplete information about the doom and vesta gave their conclusions were erroneous uninformed and rone 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
10:25 pm
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 o.p.c. w's 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 your 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.
10:26 pm
w a leak and some back and forth later there are still so many questions and few answers as to what really happened or was there p c w for its reaction to the claims that will bring you any response in the meantime we spoke to former f.b.i. agent and will even rowley who suspects a smear campaign was still. the allegation and accusation that these 2 inspectors who were amongst the tarp experts they were the 1st hand investigators that actually examined the evidence allegation that they went rogue makes no sense at all they're close to retire you know they have done a 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 in syria is no different one side is not telling the truth here the entity that changed conclusions out of reports would be the suspected entity that is not
10:27 pm
telling the truth. as the impassioned climate activism of the swedish team got to do and work continues to inspire millions of young people around the world it seems resistance to her movement is also growing old you know i mean short to popularity in recent months for her advocacy of what she describes as climate realism his environmental alarmism and in the process has been dubbed the anti grettir we spoke to 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 jones really look into the science we don't do our research we just hate the planet and just want 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
10:28 pm
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. and 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 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 if you stay for the night you come for the anti-graft and you can stay for the night because i am not against 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
10:29 pm
and telling people to change their lives sometimes. i demanding that government control the lives of all of the people. 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 . morning looks at the anti war policies of some democratic nominee contentless we're back in 30 minutes time with the latest headlines. yes 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 simone to catch is not from being
10:30 pm
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 sound up and tell using even for the owners so how to choose this bad food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than what's necessarily good for the pet turns out that food may not be as healthy as people believe and we have animals that have you know diabetes and 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 a very simple problem of diet.
