Heads to the border between greece and turkey today where a new chapter in europes migration crisis is unfolding thousands of refugees have been heading to the greek border after turkey said over the weekend it would no longer stop migrants heading to its territory from trying to enter the e. U. Greek Security Officials have been using tear gas and force to hold them back. Repelled at sea turkey 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 after turkey opened its border allowing migrants to try and enter the e. U. Greece says it has stopped almost 10000. 00 attempted crossings over a 24 hour period. They fired tear gas to disperse the crowds gathering at the border fences. The migrants can hear the greek or to authorities across the river telling them to go back the borders are closed. Its not a command thats likely to be obeyed. We keep waiting here because we left our homes those of us who had homes however 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 bus from istanbul to the Turkish Border. More serious. But greek police were waiting on the other side. German chancellor Angela Merkel criticized turkish president reject at a one to 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 have adjustment us its off to me 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 deafening a political moms. With migrant stuck in a no mans land the pressure is on for politicians to find a way out of the stalemate. Lets go live now to the ws mark saager he joins us from the greek side of the turkish greek border max good day to you are can you tell us whats happening where you are this morning. Yes brian we are in custody nessen the greek border town close to the turkish right on the Turkish Border and close to the bulgarian border also from where im standing here at the customs checkpoint its relatively quiet youre the morning and theres a meet large Media Presence but then 100 a few 100 meters behind me there is a humanitarian crisis unfolding as we speak with roughly 13000 migrants who are stuck and waiting to be able to cross into the European Union now weve been standing here for a couple of hours every every few minutes so we see military trucks passing with their reinforcements and replacements are looking at a height military presence in the area max weve seen a violent clashes over the weekend between groups of migrants trying to enter greece and Security Forces how are Greek Border Police likely to respond should this continue a greek Prime Minister meets all talk is announced that more forces more Security Forces and more military would be drawn into the region and he has also asked for help from the European BorderProtection Agency fund thanks dave announced they would send officers and equipment surveillance planes in vehicles within the next 5. 00 to 10. 00 days and also athens has made clear that they would step up their level of the turns to a maximum this is playing out with by rubber bullets being fired by tear gas being used against against migrants and also they have been reports of a syrian man who was shot dead allegedly by by greek Security Forces now the greek authorities deny this but all the normal looking at a very aggressive situation on the borders. Of fun ally in the as chief executive is heading to the border area today what kind of response to people in greece want to see from the you. You have to know that greece has been shouldering a majority of the burden of the refugee migration crisis since 2015 we just returned from the island of lesbos where there is a the notorious morea camp 20000 people are living there in a school that camp in dire humanitarian conditions this is terrible for the people who are stuck there but also it affects the locals who are furious that not much has changed. Within within the last past 5 years and they feel abandoned by the rest of greece on the islands they feel abandoned by the European Union if you ask them what do they want what kind of change what kind of what kind of change theyre expecting then they say we dont want people to be longer held in our islands we want to sustainable solution and whatever this could look like either people being redistributed to other e. U. Countries or simply sent back. Months on or following developments as they happen on the greek side of the greek Turkish Border costa nice max thanks very much for that finance ministers and the heads of the Central Banks from the g. 7 nations are to hold talks today on measures to reduce the impact of the coronavirus the number of infections is on the rise of course around the globe the World Health Organization is saying that were in quote uncharted territory the total number of infections worldwide now stands at over 90000 nearly 5000 of those cases are in south korea the country with the 2nd highest number of cases after China Worldwide more than 3000 patients have died officials in italy it is the worst country in europe say the number of deaths is jump from 34 to 52 however the number of patients who have recovered from this virus worldwide is now at over 48000. The streets of milan remain unusually quiet as the virus spreads to 18 of the 27 a u. Countries the bloc center for disease prevention and control announces further action d c has announced today that the risk level has risen from moderate to high for people in the European Union in other words the virus continues to spread italy is the center of the european fight against the outbreak it recorded the most cases in the e. U. And the most deaths in the capital rome lines for 2 years hotspots nearly short the response that scares them on film wearing a protective mask but we went. More than 60 countries have now reported cases iran has seen the most deaths from the virus outside of china impacting daily life and shaking the countrys already struggling economy. Much more you know we have no choice but to be open i have commitments and i have bag checks to clear i know many others who are in a similar situation who are supposed to take care of our checks and debts if we stay home with. The impact on irans economy is an extreme case but the o. E. C. D. Has slashed its Global Growth forecasts for this year by half a percent to 2. 4 percent the worst performance since the 2008 financial crisis. The number of new infections has also been increasing in Germany Public Health officials are telling people here to wash their hands frequently and to avoid. But that can be a tough habit to break as chancellor merkel demonstrated at a meeting on monday interior minister jose over waved her off. Scientists are vising against close contact to reduce the spread of the virus. And 3 cases of the coronavirus. As has been confirmed here in the german capital Berlin Germany has the 3rd largest number of cases in europe after italy and france. Germany and the corona virus in a big city like berlin the infectious agent might be lurking anywhere invisible to the naked eye but potentially deadly. So far theres no sign of widespread panic here all thats in iraq with you cant protect yourself from it completely but if you follow a few basic rules then hopefully itll pass you by but still its worrying me but ultimately have to go because of what i just try to follow hygiene rules and wash my hands i also try to teach this to my pupils thats it really. I personally hate time worried about it sure i read the newspaper some to listen to the radio you do have to stay on the alert box and its think its good i think its really being played up ok it is dangerous a few people are getting sick. But theyve had only mild cases. With the monks Planck Institute for Human Development in berlin Risk Research again has some clear advice. And sponsors are here to relax or try to avoid dying the things you probably will die of. This. To us is that would be things such as the ordinary case of flu smoking or people you see on the street in their car who insist on using their smartphone while driving. But not always behaves rationally especially when it comes to shopping. A few people have started panic buying staples such as canned goods and pasta and especially cleansers and disinfectants. So the shelves might be picked clean. Unusual for germany. Because under especially in our supermarkets in the section for hygiene articles where the soap and isnt fact and so are weve had shortages some items have sold out and it is also called here. The constant reports on the radio t. V. And other media play a part where suspected cases and deaths are tallied up for the 3. It creates the impression that its the biggest problem we have its not. You know its this is missed. Although the extent of the coronavirus epidemic is hard to assess for now panic wont help. Lets bring you know some of the other stories making the news chiles president has threatened to reimpose a state of emergency as antigovernment protests Gain Momentum violent clashes have the capital santiago again monday since october the south American Country has seen protests over economic inequality in the high cost of living. Flooding in brazil caused by heavy rains killed at least 4 people in affected hundreds of others in Rio De Janeiro in the west of the city the delegates dragged away cars water and mud levels above one meter flooded homes and businesses. Its to israel now where exit polls indicate that Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu holds a solidly you know over his main rival mondays parliamentary election but it also appears that his party and his allies are likely to fall short of a parliamentary majority official results are expected later today. To form this is the night of the giant victory. Netanyahu is victorious until exit polls were announced it wasnt clear whether his alliance of parties would get the most votes his opponent benny gantz leader of the centrist alliance did not concede defeat but he didnt sound that upbeat we saw the lowest campaign in the history of israel where many lies and slanders were spread against us and me personally they thought i would get frightened they thought i would blink and im telling you i did not and i will not. Netanyahu supporters were pleasantly surprised. Its a story like. That but if you think that. Its likely netanyahu will be given a chance to form a coalition for an historic 5th term but its unclear exactly how hell break the deadlock this election was called after he tried and failed to get enough support last time around netanyahu campaigned in the shadow of a looming corruption trial which is due to start in 2 weeks his victory cements his reputation is israels most durable of politicians. For more lets bring in Alexandra Goff lama store if hes a member of the german bunds dog from the business friendly free democrats and hes also chair of the german Israeli Parliamentary Friendship Group good morning and thanks so much for coming in today its looking morning Benjamin Netanyahu could well be putting together a new right wing Israeli Government what would a new netanyahu government mean for german israeli relations. German israeli relations traditionally transcend. Politics so they are so much anchored in history and a shared responsibility for the security of the state of israel. I think that needs to be said for us the 2nd. Rule sort of consideration however is that it and yahoo has a very robust approach to what people like to call the Peace Process its just very unclear where the pieces. Are that is really a process to talk about and so therefore it may be some friction here or there but not in a way that would damage israeli relations in a serious manner ok as as a close ally and friend of israel as you mentioned what issues do you think germany should be focusing on with israel after this election. Well i think that the german israeli relationship is one that is rooted in a deep friendship a number one number 2 there are issues particularly on Economic Cooperation where germany can learn a lot from israel israel is an extremely dynamic start up nation is extremely strong when it comes to research and Development Many german Large Companies have Offices Research centers in israel i think that is one of the fields in which our corporations going to intensify and then of course military cooperation is going to be an issue because german and israeli Israeli Armed forces cooperated particularly our air force ok there are of course difficult issues as well for example the status of jewish settlements in the west bank continues to be very controversial versatile what approach should the German Government take when it comes to this. Well i think the German Government as all of the European Union should maintain a perspective for a viable palestinian state at the end of the Peace Process and therefore criticizing the settlements which are clearly contradicting International Law will continue to be heard here in berlin and in brussels and other International Capitals and particularly if as is now talked about the area east of jerusalem will become the place of a new settlement this is going to ruffle many feathers this is going to be a difficult situation for the palestinians and for the Peace Process overall so i think we will hear some criticism concerning the settlements Alexander Gough member of the german bund stark chair of the german Israeli Parliamentary Friendship Group as well thanks so much for coming in today thank you. Its to the us now where theres been another boost for democratic president ial candidate joe biden former candidates better orc a meek low bush r.

A rally in Downtown Los Angeles california so chris used to speak price with its 415 delegates no wonder the candidates are campaigning to live their last minutes these are the Center Supporters he seems to be the most successful candidate in reaching out to latino voters.
