Disappoint will hold the line and our unity will prevent the e. U. Commission president. Vowing to help greece deal with thousands of refugees greece has been blocking seldons of them trying to cross its border from neighboring turkey and as the corona virus continues to spread around the world well meet a Hong Kong Family thats been told to self quarantine. And others like them are dealing with the isolation. Im bring to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world well we start tonight in the United States where millions of people are casting ballots in the countrys super tuesday primaries its the. Biggest day on the Campaign Calendar for the 5 Democratic Candidates still left in the race for the president ial nomination now whats crucial about super tuesday is that 14 states are holding primary today and under the system the more votes that a candidate gets in each state the more delegates there are awarded and the states with the most democratic delegates up for grabs are california with 415. 00 and there you see in the south texas with 228 and once the results are in it could become clear who has the best shot at clinching the democratic president ial nomination. Lets take a closer look now at california the states large latino population is expected to play a big role in todays primary w. s alexander phenomena traveled to los angeles to see which issues are energizing latino voters there. On the air with a man dog why you have a producer with can tell you k w a latino Radio Station in Los Angeles School or its not politics is his passion but this tuesday armando assess many latinos just like team are eager to get out and vote. Theyre looking for a good leader theyre looking for somebody that theyre going to give you confidence theyre going to give them. Peas for. Their own leaving most of our latinos will leave checked paycheck to paycheck. President trumps policies and slattery disturb many that he feels they all are hoping for a candidate who can best place him. As soon as california moved its primary to super tuesday it was clear latinos would be crucial in choosing the democrats president ial nominee but they represent roughly a 3rd of the states eligible voters and their influence is growing. A reli in Downtown Los Angeles county fornia super tuesday speaker price with its 415 delegates no wonder the candidates are competing to live their last minutes these are the Center Supporters he seems to be the most successful candidate in reaching out to latinos vote. I think you just talked to a lot of people that are like did not believe the franchise by the. Big corporations and special interests whether its Big Oil Big Pharma the gun industry you are essentially creating our policy with their money and what grease anderson doing is trying to sneak the power away from those big corporations and give it back to the people like on sick people are struggling right now people are falling into homelessness for the 1st time in their lives because rents are too high. Housing homes guarantee candidate like center centers. And i believe that we need to invest in mass Public Housing after that rally at meo stack looks like a popular place in the neighborhood we need christian iran up posi direct at the Latino Community foundation whose goal it is to make sure that every single latino can vote hes hoping for a high turnout on super tuesday latinos have been traumatized living under the Top Administration you know if you look at the child separation crisis he tried to end the doco program i feel like latinos in this particular action arse are seeing this as a moment to really fight back and actually stand up to whats happening in our country today. And super tuesday seems like an important 1st step to bring about change. Artless because the story by going to washington d. To be used as on the story for a 2nd evening to you stefan so Bernie Sanders hes looking strong in california due to the latino vote but do latino voters do we know do they think that they will be better off economically with a president say enders. I think i think yes actually its not the question anymore is there any sanders is going to carry california almost and that is things to the latino vote its how well will he do all over today on super tuesday but specifically in california the latino democratic vote there is more progressive and liberal than anywhere else for example in texas as you know joe biden was in texas yesterday he was endorsed by mr buthe j h. R and roark specifically that was and accident in texas because here he has a chance to get more of the latino vote in texas maybe carrying this state so yes sanders california to let you know what there is at least the experts and observers say that is definitely for Bernie Sanders and yes theyre hoping that Bernie Sanders will make all the difference to them ok so weve got sanders theyre strong in california weve got this stop bernie push inside the Democratic Party we have everyone rallying around joe biden are we talking really now about a race of 2 camps that will come down to these 2 candidates. Yes and no yes in terms of that you are right the democratic establishment is rallying around joe biden because they are scared of. Bernie sanders Bernie Sanders had said they dont he doesnt want and his campaign dont want anything to do with him at some point though and that happens today as we speak right now of course the Bernie Sanders campaign is touting a totally different horn and saying we have to have a unity we are unity we are democrats and the most important goal is of course to get donald trump out of the house behind me in november and have a democratic president instead however you have some right. Bernie sanders is not the only wild card here is Michael Bloomberg from new york who is the x. Factor nobody knows how he will perform because he was never ever on the ballot in all those polls and primaries before hes the 1st time now on all d the ballots and he spent millions of dollars in ads so we will see is everybodys best guess how well mr bloomberg will do and dont forget. Elizabeth warren she is still netting percentage and votes probably away from Bernie Sanders he cant like this by then of course hes fine with this. Bottom line is everybody right now where is both warren actually wheres the campaign now and how long will she hold on this is a very good point what about these undecided voters they are always key in u. S. Elections which democratic candidate do you think will attract the most voters when we get to november. My bet is on joe biden. And his wife he is if you look at the demographic and the Democratic Party demographic in the United States in total the probably the most electable for many many Many Democrats also for many many independents and for what remember that term future for more republicans so my bets are on biden maybe Bloomberg Sanders i think has no chance overall to be really endorsed by the majority of independents and democrats you know what we will certainly find will be a lot wiser after super tuesday thats for sure to fund. In washington chiffon thank you. Well to europe now when the sign of solidarity with greece as the European Union grapples with a new chapter in the migration crisis European Union leaders have been holding emergency talks today in greece on the countrys border with Turkey Greece accuses turkey of encouraging migrants to cross its borders illegally as well as neighboring boag area which is also a member of the European Union just days ago turkey said that it will no longer prevent migrants from trying to leave its territory to reach europe and that is sparking fears of a new wave of migration into the European Union. People are still stuck on the turkish site of the border searching for any possible way to get to greece and further into europe. You know us as it look just over there the greek soldiers are watching us with a but theyre not allowing us to enter its just 15 to 20 meters away though it is but they wont let us in so much because im going to tell me because we can wait here for 4 or 5 months we are determined to whites we will not leave we wont give up and when they finally open the gates we will and if they dont we will wait have been i dont know if this is turkeys game or europes want but theyre playing with us they put us in a miserable situation. E. U. Leaders came to see the situation for themselves after greece asked for help to secure its land and sea entry points. 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 the responsibility of the e. U. Leaders announced 700000000 euros in assistance support from its Border Protection agency and Patrol Vessels now is the time for concerted action and cool halves and acting based on our values turkey is 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 greek Authorities Say theyve prevented tens of thousands of people from crossing the border trucks have arrived with supplies blankets and pillows for make shift shelters those looking for it to europe are preparing for more days if not weeks or months camping i in no mans land. Are in for more now we want to bring in our correspondent dorian jones he is following the story for us from istanbul good evening to you dorian so weve got the situation that the European Union is basically sealing itself off the borders are closed refugees are not crossing the border has turkey as president has he miscalculated here. I think president obamas strategy isnt about sending hundreds of thousands millions. Of refugees to europe even though hes been in his rhetoric. On strategies about getting brussels attention and his calculation is of brussels only deals with an issue when there is a crisis and the concern is not so much if around 4000000. 00 refugees that are currently in turkey its the fear that there is possibly another one and a half 2000000. 00 more refugees coming from syria provinces under the control of the rebels now if that was sort of these fears will trigger a massive humanitarian crisis possible social unrest and this is why on brussels to address is concern and able to create a safe haven inside it and its looking for europeans to put pressure on russia to back this strategy and be very buoyant by the comments from the german chancellor merkel on monday who appeared to be supporting this idea and ultimately going to pull its own core will be looking for billions of euros from europe to build towns and cities to sustain those People Living inside lip so this strategy of creating a refugee crisis now is to get our brussels attention over this looming new crisis and graffiti is about to occur. Do you think that this is also extortion using the refugees to get more money out of europe because there is a deal that was struck back in 2016 that you know provides billions of euros to turkey to help deal with the migrants on its soil is there no one trying to basically pump more cash out of europe with this. Well thats part of it but its more than that its like he wants to build this International Consensus not only from the European Union but also washington to solve what they see is this looming huge humanitarian crisis coming from from inside syria and equally angry of what he says is that we make deals with europe we had this refugee deal that was signed a few years ago and brussels has all its side of the bargain it hasnt provided all the money promised it didnt provide visa free travel which it promised turkey on the long list now Europe Countess and says well hasnt fulfilled its side of the bargain so there is this chasm of mistrust and i was under no illusions that it has little love theres no love in brussels its a transactional relationship and this latest refugee crisis is a reminder that turkey is an important player and it has to be listened to during jones on the story for us tonight in istanbul dorian is always thank you. Well heres some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world powerful tornadoes have struck the u. S. State of tennessee killing at least 22 people one of them caused Severe Damage in the capital nashville destroying buildings and ripping down power lines tennessee is one of 14 states set to hold democratic president ial primary elections today of all kaino on the indonesian island of java has erupted mt merapi spewed a cloud of ash and lava some 6 kilometers into the air the eruption briefly prompted the closure of a nearby International Airport a geologist have not raise the alert level for.

This if i was utter i fall it came at a time you know where where and why we are where we were thought the fighter you know that a couple months ago i hope that you know this.
