repatriations. the 7 years. of the century you guys report. in the stories that shape the week greek police clashed with asylum seekers. over refugees. thousands. in driving out. the hope of. what. we were trying to fill. this mike cameron being schoolteacher. looks like a ministry person. the race for the u.s. democratic presidential nomination following the important super tuesday. from those that have dropped out there's
12:01 am
a growing belief that the party establishment has already shown its preference. with the streets. and coping with. describes his 2 weeks in self isolation for a trip to hong kong. when they mention quarantine. as if. it is. live from moscow thanks for joining us. welcome to the program. grae says that around $39000.00 asylum seekers from crossing into the e.u. from turkey situation escalated after ankara said it would no longer on a deal on migration.
12:02 am
c oh a little bit of. america oh. i. was always going to run to the greek territory has been arrested. and in my mind this isn't me go away often during one country. and 1st day turkey announced the development 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 the spot tear gas being
12:03 am
fired from both sides and athens using a water cannon greece has said it will turn back all those attempting to cross illegally has suspended a sort of applications for a month. drove along the border to see the impact the crisis is having. come further down south we still on the greek so i did the border with turkey when town called ferries and i just want you to get a sense of the action that's happening all around us i would just outside the town hall the local mayors all face 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 from turkey so we didn't get to speak to them 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 seem to be pretty tense knew the mood was full of tension in fact one guy said. we you can feel it.
12:04 am
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 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 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 am
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 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 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 that we would end the affair is a video showing the migrants camped out. on the pool.
12:06 am
as we were trying to film. we were stopped this my cameraman being scooped it up by like a ministry person out 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
12:07 am
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. some furious i mean piece blame turkey for the crisis are now demanding brussels and all cooperation with the neighbor. this is again a good lesson for us that european union doesn't solve our problems it only makes the problems worse we paid 6000000000 euros to the turkish regime and what do we get after some several years we only get blackmailed again so it does the other gun just wants more money from us and this has to stop infinity is clear that mr hat store caves are not a reliable partner or sound so i think that the e.u.
12:08 am
should keep the interim council because i think that your piano sex player so cavil 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 the united states has cut the number of candidates in the democratic race for the presidential nomination bunny saunders 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 to undermine the sonnets. i am ending my campaign and your saying that i am i i enjoy us joe biden and i hope you will join me i'm delighted to
12:09 am
endorse and support joe biden for president. i have decided that i and with great enthusiasm we're 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 just to remind you super tuesday is when the largest number of states head to the polls one to go on to make the final selection for candidates. judging close was shelled by one of the most states saunas and got 4 states the bond and 11 of sourness victories california has the most delegates a kind of open breaks down how many saunas has come under attack from his rivals. it's you know we know you believe it was in god you know here you're
12:10 am
her in the lobby 3. years with no one 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 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 moved forward. the reds are coming trigger those cold war
12:11 am
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 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 vialli. human rights abroad we can't risk nominating someone who doesn't recognize this fidel castro and if
12:12 am
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 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 presidential candidates as well as robert o'brien the national security advisor and
12:13 am
his sources are named though these reports that the 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 in 2016 leaked e-mails revealed by wiki leaks show that the d.n.c.
12:14 am
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. do you know neil spoke to new york city hopeful she thinks the democratic party's national committee tunde stops 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 listen together to just what was said hello of our race i get
12:15 am
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. for the sunday the world has been marking international women's day thousands gather to take part in monsters to champion what's been achieved but also what still needs to be done to promote equality.
12:16 am
i flashes broke out between marchers and police in the turkish city of istanbul rights activists gathered to condemn violence demonic quality and what they said was the oppression against women in the country the rally however wasn't authorized by the authorities there just like the year before and 2019 march is still shows together with tear gas and police. i. was. meanwhile demonstrators in several french cities took to the streets on women's day organizers said the parades were to promote equality and emancipation those joining the rally in paris march through the center of the city holding banners against the violence and sexism towards women. and mass to men disrupt other women's day rally in central asian republic of can you start tearing down the
12:17 am
violence of the protesters those marching have been demanding support for women and children's rights in the country as well as protesting against domestic violence the authorities claim they arrested the man alongside some of the women demonstrating local media though reports claim it was mostly women detained as the rally wasn't authorized. the number of coronavirus cases globally has exceeded 100000 governments 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 banning anyone leaving or entering 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 the city's tourist mecca milan are almost empty the number of confirmed coronavirus cases rising what 1200 in a single day most public events of banned across the country until early april.
12:18 am
i was nations scrambled 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 artie's war against the earth has been through 2 weeks of self isolation at home following a trip to hong kong you 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 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 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
12:19 am
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 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 as it turns out it isn't at
12:20 am
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 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 pawns of the. quarantine agreement that i side of 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 then you just leave and nothing nothing happens while 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
12:21 am
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 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. into the day it's just common sense
12:22 am
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 an outbreak. the quarantine isn't worth it. this week 2 whistleblowers hit back at the world chemical weapons watchdog issuing responses to an earlier inquiry by the o.p.c. w organization previously said the pair had gone rogue after they publicly criticized its conclusions about an alleged chemical attack and do much in syria 2 years ago in their letter to the director general there to now demand a scientific hearing accusing the watchdog over their work. inspect to be and i tried on many occasions to meet with you you may also know open haps not that these
12:23 am
requests were all denied the reason given by a senior official was it's my role to protect the director general you will never get to speak with him and if you try to go around me to get him there will be consequences letters to the director of the global chemical weapons watchdog courtesy of the gray zone project there the latest development in a ping pong exchange of correspondence between david and goliath whistleblowers and the o.p.c. w. inspector in ny have tried to resolve our concerns with you in private however this saga has unfortunately escalated to a point where we are now publicly portrayed as adversaries inspectors are now being smeared as the into this is of these values for nothing more than daring to speak out the smearing started back in february with a report in response to what the organization called a breach of confidentiality leaks that 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
12:24 am
subjected to a chemical attack but the report barely even touched on any of that the authors were too busy trying to tear the whistleblowers inspectors a and b. to pieces inspectors a and b. are not whistleblowers they're individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence their behaviors even more egregious as they had manifestly incomplete information about the doom and vesta gave their conclusions were erroneous on informed and 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 records 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 qualified. patients but it goes farther than that inspectors a and b. categorically rejects one of the o.p.c.
12:25 am
w.'s biggest claims against them that they have pretty much nothing to do with the investigation and no access to important information when i joined the team shortly after the start of the deployments to do inspect a b. and i continued playing a central role in the overall investigation the final report didn't exactly benefit from the editorial turnaround information was slashed details removed and facts don't explain why it's not like the inspectors didn't try to get answers to their questions before pressing the big red leak button something had gone wrong inside the opus e 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 o. chief of cabinet from fronts whose views are echoed in both the narratives does it not strike you was somewhat biased in that the 3 individuals represent the 3 defendants the 3 countries who were responsible for the missile strikes in response
12:26 am
to the allegation of a chemical attack in duma and l.p.c. w a leak and some back and forth later there are still so many questions and few answers as to what really happened we've asked the o.p.c. w. for its reaction to the claims that we'll bring you any response in the meantime we spoke to former f.b.i. agent on whistleblower colleen rowley we suspect a smear campaign the watchdog. the allegation and accusation that these 2 inspectors who were amongst the top experts they were the 1st hand investigators that actually examined the evidence the l a geisha in 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 and syria is no different one side is not telling the truth here the entity that
12:27 am
changed conclusions of reports would be the suspected entity that is not telling the truth. up next to it on the ground with actual times if you're watching us in the u.k. or on its crosstalk ok and we'll all be bring to the morning headlines in just about 130 minutes and see about that. freddy sympathy for sure. was and was new york at the sun to make sure. people feel and i used these for more for the program now don't i do it is me but i will. know. a good.
12:28 am
point adoption is driven by banks failing and countries failing and now in lebanon they've got a huge crisis and of course big points come to the rescue. time after attention we're going underground i'm a dog a bill escalating chances of a war in the middle east and of un talks on syria libya and iran coming up on the show whose side is nato member turkey actually on the country's former foreign

12:30 am
the mainstream media here is beginning to question which side turkish president one is on joining me now from anchorage of the cipher it is one of the founders of old ones a.k.p. party and turkey's former foreign minister yasser yeah case thanks so much yasser for coming on the un human rights commission is talking syria tomorrow your take on russia turkey relations after last week's moscow peace talks between putin and the one actually. turkish russian since have become. the 2 countries they've become. interdependent for this i believe that what they're what happens the 2 countries have to agree somewhere in a middle ground well arguably turkey has been russian interests the russian pilot had to bail out of a russian warplane not long ago and similar while.
