S. Democratic president ial nomination can moderate democrats tonight and deal a blow to front runner Bernie Sanders and could billionaire Michael Bloomberg be a spoiler. Great to have you along everyone in a sign of solidarity with Greece European Union leaders went to the countrys border with turkey the town of cust and yes to. Scuffs a solution to this latest phase of the migration crisis will greek Prime Minister kiriakou awesome it so talk its called the emergency meeting hes accused turkey of encouraging migrants to attempt to enter his country which is in the e. U. Bonheur said over the weekend it would no longer stop migrants on its territory from trying to leave turkey to enter greece the head of the Commission European commission on the line says its the duty of europe as a whole to protect greeces borders those who seek to test europes unity will be disappointed we will hold the line and our unity will prevail now is the time for concerted action and cool halves and acting based on our values turkeys not an enemy and people not just means to reach a goal we would all do well to remember both in the days to come i think greece for being our european speedup in these times and espied a rather is a greek word for shield of the e. U. Commission president there was essentially a thinking greece for its a role as an e. U. Border state well lots to unpack lets take you now to max zander who has been tracking the developments on the greek side of the greek Turkish Border im actually what jumped out at you from missive on the lions a message to greece. Well you actually said it already this was a strong show of solidarity. The leaders of the european institutions came together with the. Greek Prime Minister to talk us and they brought one common message in that is greece youre doing the right thing europe is behind you there was no criticism of greeks handling of the situation here at the border of the last couple days no criticism of the allege excessive use of force or the illegal pushback by the rather there was praise and that is because the e. U. Relies on greece to protect its external borders and thats why it was enough on the line and now its that the European Union would step up its support to protect the greek borders by sending a Rapid Deployment team by frontex that is the European BorderProtection Agency and this includes vessels this includes airplanes and personnel as well as a roughly 700000000. 00 euros in Financial Aid now max the greek Prime Minister its attack us also commented on the growing crisis add his countrys a border with turkey lets take a listen to what he said earlier today greece expects tangible sort of verity from the European Union and i can tell you the presence of the entire european leadership here at the altar borders of the union sends a clear signal to everyone. But lets be honest europe has not been up to the task of dealing with the migration crisis i hope this crisis will serve as a wake up call for everyone to assume their responsibilities. A wake up call max is what the Prime Minister said will the proposals by the e. U. Commission chiefs of underline placate the greek government which lets be honest has been warning brussels to take turkeys threats to opening the border seriously for years. Well you have to and you have to know that ever since the beginning of the refugee crisis in 2015 greece did not feel that they were being helped by the other e. U. Member states people here in greece as well as politicians leadership feel abandoned by the rest of the European Union so this step to step in and help protecting the greek and the European Borders with with additional manpower this could be seen as a 1st important step but this is no long Term Solution and this is no sustainable solution to the problem and this is what greek leaders will be looking for as a next step now at max sound of reporting from the greek a Turkish Border thank you very much. Lets take a closer look now at the situation on the border and the desperate situation many refugees have endured so far thousands of them have made their way to the turkish town of and as this next report shows they landed in limbo unable to cross into greece and out of options. Migrants make their way through fields heading towards the greek border searching for a way to cross to the other side earlier Turkish Security forces at the official border crossings stopped letting people through those migrants forced to turn back are angry. About a lot is you know we were shown on t. V. How turkey was i mean its borders i told we could go to the e. U. We were expecting compassion but we got the opposite the greeks treated us like animals. The Greek Military has repeatedly used tear gas to disperse crowds of migrants some responded by throwing stones at the Border Guards the tension is escalating the turkish president. Says turkey is sticking by its decision. Should you couple that since we opened our gates weve been getting one call after another theyre saying close your borders we say no weve made our decision. Many families are now camping out along the every us river on the border several afghans tell us the groups of migrants were driven here for free in buses provided by Turkish Police in istanbul many used rubber boats to make it across to the greek side they said greek soldiers took their money and their mobile phones and brought them back to turkey but also have no idea what the place is doing a whats happening between turkey in europe we dont deserve to be treated like this where people. Here on the turkish side of the border anger and frustration is growing one migrant says everyone is aiming a weapon towards europe and using the people here as ammunition.
