Of the couple of years they underestimated. They thought we were bluffing. Since the moment we opened our borders the number of those with headed to europe has reached hundreds of thousands. In an attempt to deal with it at the expense of migrants think. There will be more soon this number will be expressed in millions. Also coming up tuesday is the biggest day for democrats who want to challenge donald trump for the white house for a late comer candidate Mike Bloomberg the stakes on super tuesday could not be high and hes not going to make you fall in love with his policy ideas but his aunts are thing to behold hes good at making commercials can he persuade voters that commercials are enough. What you our viewers on p. B. S. Watching in the u. S. And all around the world welcome but we begin the day with the refugees at europes door sent by the turkish president today turkeys president richard to one more and europe that he has opened the gates for millions of migrants who want to reach europe its a done deal he said. But not for those migrants thousands not millions of migrants have been dropped off at the border with greece hoping to find an open door instead the gates to europe are closed barbwire and riot police armed with tear gas sending the message this kind of injury is no longer a well we have this report from the border where people are in search of a home instead they are finding out that they are becoming political pawns. Repelled at sea tekkie released this footage of the coastal city of bodrum Authorities Say it shows a greek coast guard pushing back a boat filled with migrants its one of the tactics we call thirtys are using off to turkey opened its border allowing migrants to try and enter the e. U. In greece says it has stopped almost 10000. 00 attempted crossings over 24 hour period. They fired tear gas to disperse the crowds gathering at the border fences. The migrants can hit the greek or to authorities across the river telling them to go back to the borders are closed 7. Its not a command thats likely to be a bait. We keep waiting here because we left our homes those of us who had homes whoever things to sell got money for them so they could get out if we have to go back we will have to sleep in the streets. What can we do were stuck here we cant go back home. On sunday some groups tried a hazardous route across the river ever us with some success greece accuses ankara of organizing a campaign to push people through the greek turkish border. This migrant from cameroon waded across the river to reach greece she says shed been told to leave turkey and along with refugees from syria she was taken by pass from istanbul to the turkish border. More syria. Is. That greek police were waiting on the other side. German chancellor Angela Merkel criticized turkish president reject at a one the use in the migrants as political pawns. In this thing given all the understanding and willingness to provide more support. I think its totally unacceptable to deal with this at the expense of migrants of adjustment as its often with theyve been encouraged to go to the border only to end up at a dead end again. And our policy and the policy of the e. U. Turkey deal is not aimed at conducting politics at the migrants expense definition of political moms. With migrants stuck in a no mans land the pressure is on for politicians to find a way out of the stalemate. Which they took as president accused europe of failing to uphold its end of the migration deal that was struck back in 2016 under that deal turkey agreed to block migration routes and basically ended the migrant crisis here in europe in Exchange Europe said that it would pay up to 6000000000. 00. To help turkey halles migrants on its soil to europe also agreed that these as would no longer be required for turkish citizens in a ring the e. U. And europe also agreed to restart talks on turkey joining the European Union so far europe has given 3200000000 euros in aid and it says the rest will be paid in the coming years according to the agreement turks still do not have these a free travel to the e. U. And turkish e. U. Membership talks they have stall today european leaders rejected turkeys accusations and said they still expect turkey to uphold its end of the deal i acknowledge that turkey is in a difficult situation concerning that with the gots to the refugees and the migrants that what we see now cannot be an answer or solution we expect 32 on their its commitments they mean from the same turkey migration deliver a statement and we are watching the situation very very closely this is a crisis but it can also become an opportunity for europe an opportunity that would allow us to defend collectively our external border. All right for more im joined now at the big table by cinema dar she is with the think tank the German Institute for international in Security Affairs her focus is on turkish refugee policy and migration its good to have you on the sure thank you opening the gates to europe turkeys president appears to be powerful he appears to have the leverage here but you say this may be an act of just peroration why. I mean on the bend on the one that you just threw that took as a leverage that was given to it in 2016 mentor can europe agree to cooperate over migration control and Border Security yet at the same time it is also this spirit to get the support of e. U. In it and thats i think the main reason why. On saturday turkey and nonstatic opened the borders. Yet at the same time to get closer keeps the border in syria its syria still close for instance. Understand. The situation in. Syria what does that have to do with turkeys agreement with the European Union about migrants how do those 2 dots connect so this statement is obviously about controlling the flow of migrants towards europe so that has 2 components mom is protecting the borders its europe the other its kind of you can think of it as an in direct outcome of the statement protecting the borders its syria and since the war in syria is still ongoing and because off the escalating conflict and leave since december last year there has been an increase in montauk internally displaced people almost like wanting in people right now so the minute turkey opens the border with syria people still be amazing the coming in turkey and if the border and its borders with europe are also open they will be trying to. Each europe and getting the situation in is that turkey has been trying to comments russia to get a regime to go back to the such a cease fire lot line and it has failed to do so well what is president to ones thinking here if if he opens the gates and lets the migrants head for europe is he thinking that will then pressure the europeans to pressure nato to go in help syria or help turkey in syria is that what hes thinking i think thats the thinking yes and if you look at. Statements from government officials and also progovernment pundits and also columnists in the last couple of weeks you see that they use this is the magic campaign to get the support lot from them to and europe supports to give support to turkey i mean hes asking a lot from the europeans also from nato because were talking about in Northern Syria now the Turkish Military facing off with a force that is backed by the Russian Military that would bring nato in direct conflict with russia possibly. Possibly it old or i am not sure and i am also not sure at this point whether there is another better option in the sense that we should basically there is no adult that is not a democrat the country has no hesitation to violate many terry and principles so again has no his cetacean to use humanitarian. Base to further its Foreign Policy ambitions under a humanitarian cloak and that has been happening since it optional to war in syria yet at the same time there is right now in it live and unfolding human catastrophe and i think which the world is basically you are right and this particularly moment i think humanitarian consequences on should and shall override other concepts no words were there one is concerned about is the humanitarian crisis around of course not the course not this is why i said likely should be made it clear that its not the concern of add on add on bonsa basis they retain control over it but. I think it kind of internation the protective buffer zone or a safe zone in might actually compel turkey to give up. That ambition to retain control in interest as well because thats what i think people watching will remember or you know when the the u. S. Pulled out you know let the kurds there then there was the thinking that turkey would have this buffer zone in Northern Syria it cant use that buffer zone to put these displaced syrians isnt that what he wanted to do all along some people have already been going to talk to controlled areas that some are also moving to parts and because of moving from one place and on to in syria is also costly by so not everyone can afford to basically go to the areas that are on that touched on all so obvious of the immediate s. K. Place is the border some people have been accumulating at the border while it think im some people are going to the talk controlled areas and we will definitely be watching to see if the one continues to open the gates cinema door with the German Institute for international and Security Affairs so its good to have you on the show they thank you thank you thanks. Im making the difficult decision to suspend my campaign for the president we got into this race in order to defeat the current president and in order to usher in a new kind of politics and that meant guiding our campaign by the values we like to call the rules of the road. Well how quickly the race for the white house has changed and is changing just in the last 24 hours both you saw it right there pete booted jake and amy code which are have called it quits club which are has a divorced former Vice President joe biden ahead of tomorrows crucial super tuesday primaries and we understand that people that she plans to do the same later today super tuesday is considered the most important of all primaries because of the sheer size here 14 states are involved under the primary election system the more votes a candidate gets the more delegates they are awarded and the states with the most democratic delegates up for grabs. R california with 415 and in the south texas you see there was 228 by the end of super tuesday it could be down to a 23 or 4 candidate race among the democrats super tuesday will be the 1st test of late comer candidate billionaire Mike Bloomberg it could also be his last use all over salad is in texas tonight and he has this report. Mike bloomberg at one of his maria rallies in Houston Texas here the former new york mayor is presenting himself as the only candidate who can stop donald trump so if you will find someone who talks turkey and who has a record of accomplishments on all the big issues facing our country country and if you want somebody has the resources to beat trump thats made. Of Mike Bloomberg resources in other words his wealth is a controversial topic among voters while some say his money makes him independent others say the billionaire wants to buy the election. Were essentially in the middle of a Political Science experiment we dont know how this is going to turn out no one has ever thrown this much money at a primary before i dont see that hes trying to buy the election hes using his resources to make a difference for america i say that. He cant be bought is really what that means a nation divided by an age of control president Mike Bloomberg is running on president didley Expensive Campaign he has spent 300000000. 00 on t. V. Ads he doesnt accept donations relying instead on his own fortune brings people together that means hes outspend President Trump in 2016 but up about 66000000. 00 of his personal money on his campaign and his democratic rivals Mike Bloomberg spent already twice as much as Bernie Sanders and joe biden combined. Thanks to his money Mike Bloomberg seems to be everywhere he has bought 1500000 facebook ads and even paid ordinary people to post messages supporting him on their profiles and their bloomers naca charm and hes not going to make you fall in love with this policy ideas but his aunts are thing to behold wonderfully produced the best visuals the best audio hes good at making commercials can he persuade voters that commercials are enough i dont think so. Super tuesday Mike Bloomberg is on the ballot for the 1st time this primary season some polls put him among the top 3 candidates for now it seems like his big spending has paid off. We will find out tonight perhaps my colleague our correspondent over salad he is with me now he joins me from austin texas good afternoon to you oliver so lets talk about what has just happened weve got pete booted chicken now amy club which are both have quit the race club which are has endorsed former u. S. Vice President Joe Biden we expect to do the same today now thats going to be a huge win for joe biden tell me what does this mean then for Mike Bloomberg. Well 1st of all youre right it is a huge win for joe biden because just imagine a few weeks ago he was really losing momentum he didnt do well he had his weak moments on the debate stage falling behind in polls and then now he wins the South Carolina primary in addition to that you have any sharp people to judge dropping out to 2 potential competitors off the moderate field here and now supporting endorsing joe biden and we do expect as you just mentioned people to just do the same so that is great news for joe biden and in turn of course not so great news for for a mayor bloomberg because he will face a cli feeding off that that momentum that joe biden has had and certainly now with a stronger joe biden that is not good news for mayor bloomberg bellaver youve been on the campaign trail with bloomberg teg susan youre in texas right now i mean it is a state that he almost has to win if he wants his campaign to continue or his chances what do you say. Well if you asked a couple weeks ago then it looked like mayor bloomberg was on position to win the poll so he had a realistic chance here that has slightly changed latest poll see him at position number 3 and that in spite of all the money that he spent in particular in the state of texas some 170000000. 00 alone for t. V. Ads and internet advertising here in texas 500000000. 00 nationwide so this is unprecedented and all of that money of course coming from his private wealth hes been really trying to target lets you know voters so hes put a lot of effort into this. Right now with the latest developments here with joe biden picking up momentum that doesnt really look good for him to win the state of texas but of course well have to see how super tuesday goes like for him this will certainly be a make or break moment for mayor bloomberg you know what about the criticism that bloomberg is an oligarchy that hes trying to buy his way into the election i mean the latest figures show that he spent 170000000. 00 on t. V. Ads in texas alone out of his own pocket i mean what have you heard on the campaign trail. Yeah the criticism basically comes from his competitors of course who believe that this is not fair play. Essentially there used to be this rule for primary candidates that they had to collect a certain amount of money through donations that was one of the threshold by the way for a candidate to be allowed into a t. V. Debate now the d. N. C. The Democratic National committee had to change those rules or decided to change those rules because bloomberg was already so high up in polling so they changed the rules for him to allow him into the t. V. Debate certainly he himself would argue differently saying hes going all in it you heard him in the sound bite he said it takes someone like him to win against donald trump hes trying to draw that picture as you see only candidate who is able to win sensually arguing that it takes a billionaire to win against another billionaire interesting way to look at it we know as youve rightly said that the polls are not very promising for Mike Bloomberg super tuesday approaches weve got joe biden he has a nice boost coming from these 2 major endorsements that hes getting today were going to leave Bernie Sanders and super tuesday. Interesting question i mean hes still the number one front runner and his the polling looks great of course were now looking at a shift in momentum and well have to see how far that goes for joe biden who is not being really successful weeks ago and dont forget this is a question now about progress a progressive candidate like Bernie Sanders or a moderate candidate now what you can see is that the Party Establishment is rallying behind the moderate candidate because they believe that a candidate like joe biden is more successful potentially more successful in these socalled swing states that many people who voted trump might be willing to come back to the Democratic Party but not with with a candidate like Bernie Sanders and his progressive policies yeah as they say they are some people want results and not a revolution we will see all of that salad on the story for us in austin texas thank you. Well as the number of cases of coronavirus continues to increase rapidly the World Health Organization says that the world is in quote unchartered territory although the w. H. O. Maintains that the outbreak can still be contained the total number of infections around the world now is nearly 90000 more than 3000 patients have died indonesia and several other countries are reporting their 1st cases today now officials in italy which is the worst hit country here in europe say that the number of deaths has jumped from 34 to 52 the number of patients who have recovered from the virus worldwide stands now at more than 45000. Well across europe far right and nationalist movements have been faster turned the corona Virus Outbreak into a chance to push their anti migration rhetoric and to call for Stricter Border controls you know the reporter for the record baggio has been looking into that so this is not a pretty story. How are far right parties how are they trying to use this you know this virus to their advantage. One way is by trying to draw a link between the virus and migration women example in italy you need the leader of the popular far right of physicians party the league. Everybody to link the virus to migrants coming by of the mediterranean for instance here he posted a video of a migrant rescue ship docking in sicily along with the message it is simply in saying that the landings continue as if nothing had happened meaning as if current virus hadnt happened and hes a criticizing the government and saying its ridiculous that they act surprised by the numbers of cases in italy implying of course if you let migrants so many migrants in then theres going to be so many cases but let me stress here that there is no proven link between migrants and refugees and the spreading of the medicine tells us that virus viruses dont discriminate based on nationalities right we have also seen for what parties across europe calling for the suspension of the European Unions sharing agreement and let our viewers know that agreement allows for the Free Movement of people and goods across borders in the e. U. Thats right and not to slovenia i suggested that also in france Marine Le Pen the leader of the far right National Front party suggested dot and the idea of having tighter borders has also been rated by here in germany by the fire right turn to for Germany Party and we have a tweet here by lisa vita who is the head of the f. D. A. In the German Parliament who says it would be more than a. Diligent if necessary measures to contain the virus were not taken or were taken too late due to worship calls a one sided fixation on the dogma of the open borders and of course governments european governments are taking measures to contain this virus but we are also seeing that here theres a quite clearly an effort by far right parties to tap into the panic and the fear surrounds virus to push what theyve always wanted so. If its true that the corona virus we know its also part of the story here that were talking about tonight and that is the state of those migrants who are at the. Greek border now well certainly the current a virus is not going to make things any easier for them weve seen that the current virus has been at least cited by greek authorities as one of the reasons reasons why they thought it was necessary to tighten controls on migrant groups within hungary for instance. And just and now that applications for asylum asylum applications will be indefinitely suspended because of fears of the current virus and people who may be coming in from iran but let me reiterate the most of the migrants weve seen those reports they are they dont even come from risk countries and if some of them reportedly do come from iran but they probably have been in turkey for since before this outbreak yeah just with the fear of the virus certainly adding to the calls for the borders to be closed thats for sure so we could budget as always thank you thank you. All right and remember no matter what happens between now and then tomorrow is another day well see that everybody. Moves. Closer but you can wear with a clear conscience. The fashion industry is going green a lot of companies right sustainable on the label. For those things clothing really meet Sustainability Standards we go undercover to find out eco friendly fashion green sheen for the real deal. Close up. 90 minutes on w. Im not laughing at the gym well i guess sometimes i am but i stand up and wait for that the german thinks deep into the german culture of looking at the stereotypes aquatics put in here think especially from countries that i.
