Support. The 3 people. Theres a very good cook. Also coming up europes doors closed desperate migrants trying to get in most of them are fleeing the war in syria tonight youll meet a syrian mother who used her camera to document the finding and the hate it became a declaration of love for her daughter son amid the chaos her daughter somer was born. There are. Synonymous to come to from a chump a singular. But to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the race among us democrats for the white house a race with stunningly new momentum make that joe mentum that is the new term to describe former Vice President joe bidens big win in super tuesday and primaries biden clenched 9 states in the northeast and southeast and that all important state texas by surge was made possible by crucial endorsements from other democrats who dropped out of the race billionaire Mike Bloomberg today became the latest his deep pockets bought him watts of t. V. Ads but not enough votes biden the centrist the moderate is now the front runner overtaking Bernie Sanders the democratic socialist but sanders is showing no sign of stopping he won 4 states on super tuesday including the biggest california so its now down to Sanders Biden and Elizabeth Warren warren has not won a single primary or caucus she even lost in her home state of massachusetts yesterday tonight there is no word on what warren plans to do next. Super tuesday proved that joe bidens campaign for the democratic nomination is alive and well. You days ago the press the pundits in the credit campaign. And then. Our charo you got to super tuesday be over well maybe over there. The former u. S. Vice president can now claim to be the front runner for the democratic. President ial nomination exit polls link his success to strong support from africanamericans as well as older and suburban voters im a moderate myself so i think his message can reach a lot of people who are in the middle reach both left and right by been a big fan of his since the Obama Administration senator Bernie Sanders is by no means out of the race for the democratic nomination of the night hard to tell you with the absolute confidence were going to win the democratic nomination was and were are going to the feet the most dangerous president in their history this country was sanders went into super tuesday as the front runner hes particularly popular with younger and latino voters the big i think that Bernie Sanders has what it takes to me as one of the people who i was hoping very would do better in some of the states he was a little exciting in the passing at the same time was 2 other hopefuls senator Elizabeth Warren and former new york mayor Michael Bloomberg both performed poorly paul warnes campaign is still deliberating whether or not to stay in bloomberg has decided to drop out. Super tuesday is an important date in the president ial election calendar but it only represents about one 3rd of the delegates that are up for grabs nationwide. The campaign now moves on to michigan and 5 other States Holding primaries next tuesday 350 more delegates are up to be won. In the race is far from over but what a different race it has become the talk about that im joined here at the big table by rachel rizzo shes a fellow with Robert Bosch Foundation here in berlin shes also a us politics analyst good to have you back on the day well so joe biden apparently he knew exactly what he was doing when he performed so poorly in those 1st primaries and caucuses and a lot of people. Youre did yeah i mean just last week bidens campaign was all but dead after his showing in iowa and New Hampshire but his. Race in South Carolina really brought him back from the dead right and it set him up to i mean really this was the political comeback of a century i mean if you listen to the people who have been reporting on politics for decades like they havent seen anything like this so this is exactly what he needed this brought his campaign back and its looking really good for joe biden right now do you think he would have won so big yesterday on super tuesday with the endorsements that he received the night before im thinking of thinking of amy. I think he still would have done well yesterday but i do think that people to judge and amy cobras shar moving out of the way and you know giving what would have mostly been their vote to joe biden really cleared a path of clear victory for him the better or work and doris that entices was really really helpful so i think what were seeing is you know the more moderate wing of the party sort of starting to coalesce around one candidate i mean theres a do if they were remarkable it was like there was this giant invisible party whip. Here and youre here in germany you know there as well as in the u. S. The Political Parties well theyre in trouble right now and youve got populist politicians taking advantage of whats going on do you think that Political Parties here in europe can they look to the democrats in the u. S. And maybe find hope for the future well i think it really depends who you talk to in the United States if you talk to you know moderate to you know sort of center left progressives they think this is a very good thing now if youre looking at people who are Bernie Sanders supporters are Elizabeth Warren supporters a lot of people say look this this this political system the Democratic Party is really rigged so people like Bernie Sanders cant come in and win and so i. You know it really depends on who you talk to and they would give you know very different opinions on that sort about Bernie Sanders he is not surging the way he would like to now and he has no rivals indorsing him the way biden did exactly and i think this is going to be really tough for him Going Forward i think that you know for some people they think that you know this might be the time for say Elizabeth Warren to jump out of the race and door speroni sanders and really give him and the progressive wing of the party the boost that they need to really fight back against biden were not sure if shes going to do that yet and could happen today could happen tomorrow she could stick in the race for another few weeks or all the way up to the Convention Milwaukee were just not sure yet i mean right now its down to Sanders Biden and Elizabeth Warren when you take a listen at what she said last night even as she was losing her home state of massachusetts to the list you dont get what you drop fight for. The danger is real our democracy are very future hangs in the balance and so this is a decision each and every one of you is going to have to make when there is this much danger do you decide. To kind of get a little timid backed up crouch down a little or do you decide to fight back in this fight. Shes funny but i mean shes got the fighting spirit youve got to give that tour but does she have a fighting chance you know youre listening to her words that really is powerful she does have a powerful message shes a scary you know it is and you know shes run a Great Campaign she has great supporters great organizers i dont know if she has a fighting chance left i mean if you just look at the numbers there is no clear path for her to gain the number of delegates that would propel her to the democratic nomination now i think she views herself as maybe a center approach between bernie and between joe biden now if we get to a convention in milwaukee and its maybe a brokered convention i think that might be her game play right now but like i said before we could be seeing in the next day or so maybe in the next week or so her kind of you know pulling out of the razor but a brokered convention i mean to do you foresee. On a collision course the Party Convention this summer i do i mean i think that you know whats clear now is that you know there are 2 you know clear wings of the Democratic Party and you know theres a lot of hoopla that goes along for the 1st you know the 1st few months of the primary but you know the majority of delegates have not been awarded yet we have a way to go and so we could see by then really really start to pull ahead we could see bernie really really start to pull ahead and if that happens i think well have a clear answer Going Forward but you know i think come july if the 2 candidates are neck and neck we could see we could see that happen and that wouldnt be great i think for them and i mean marty that would probably be a nightmare scenario for sure it would be what do you make of the reaction from the u. S. President donald trump today he. Can grow. Angela toward tweet. I mean is this a new mr manners mr nice guy no of course not i mean i think it you know if i were trump you know i would be i would be nervous about this you know i think that he you can see his tweets you know crazy Bernie Sanders you know using talk about sanders a lot he does and but i think that he realizes that if the Democratic Party starts to gather around biden and biden can kind of pull some of the progressive supporters from bernie and sam and warren and really start to get some serious momentum i think he understands that his presidency is in trouble and so no i think that this is just trumping trump theres some you know mark mocking and sarcasm behind all of his tweets were going to see it i think get pretty ugly Going Forward to he referred to Elizabeth Warren today again as all were modern day pocahontas for example the the investigation in ukraine into. Do you expect a resurrection of their. Chances of winning the nomination of increased dramatically absolutely i mean i think that you know Going Forward the republicans are going to you know play the hunter biden card a lot theyre going to try to point to corruption and try to you know undermined by this candidate c. And potentially his nomination so you know i think were going to see a resurrection of a lot of the same debates a lot of the same issues that we saw earlier this year its going to be a hot summer. Very short reserves always good to get your insights into thank you.

Should he can nominate engine. Wod alkhateeb was a University Student in aleppo and. In 2012 she joined the uprising against syrian president Bashar Al Assad.

Or flee the bombs and bring her daughter to safety. Before someone has won dozens of prizes including best documentary at the british film awards and an oscar nomination. Some. Had some pain in. A story made for one child now affecting audiences around the world. Well the world may be trying to ignore the inhumanity thats taking place in syria but no one can ever claim that they werent able to see what was happening there and we can think of a syrian mother and her camera for that today the director of for salam wat alkhateeb sat down with me here in berlin. What its good to have you here on the show here in berlin you say that your film is a love letter on your daughter but its become much more than that what has it become i would say like its become so many things but the main things for me was like an evidence about all the crimes that was happening and also an evidence for the resilience that we have a sampling point or that like propaganda and all of that at around us are you hoping that your film because it has gotten a lot of awards a lot of attention that its going to prompt the west to take action in the war in syria i need only hope that i like theres so many like difficulties and confusion is between whats happening i mean the whole world but i really wish like this. Some people to take action and think about these children as they are their child and think about all this woman and i and my dream is that we have a syrian as their only life if you have any indications that thats going to happen i really dont know unfortunately every time is going to like this to russian is going more war as we all know now and focus more there and in the case for the now this through issue everything is like became more worse and want to see your film is set in aleppo would you say that it is now the new aleppo yes they have now is like a new i think paul and then you will to and then you would that its like the friends that is in syria have facing the same like her again and again and i dont know like whats next but i really hope to see another ending scenario for this place which you know right now the turkish president has said that hes going to do it millions of mostly Syrian Refugees cross to turkey trying to get into europe the gates to europe are closed what do you say to. The migrants who are going towards that border everyone knows that now that they cant get through i really cant say anything for these people because like now safe with my family in the u. K. And i really wish them all to have like a safe life they still shouldnt talk is not good at all like its not even like they dont have like immigrants or like asylum process and to me so all of this people who are paying my parlous they have they can talk they can be school legally so like they are looking for a better life for them so they dont do that see everyone as a friend of the Syrian Refugees like im fortunately through this 9 years we learn and we should like to be aware of this like theres no friends for the Syrian People and so you know at all we saw friends for the Syrian Regime like russia and iran and hezbollah but we didnt see any government taking great responsibility to have the same things for the regime of Bashar Al Assad has support from the russians what do what would you like to see happen there because no one wants a war with russia i dont wish like that if the governments going to take some responsibility too and theyre trying to frighten syria which governments are there so absolutely everyone because this ward now is like just you know like whats happening thats very obvious for everyone in the usa so sponsibility of the u. K. Theyre bringing in their own and even like this or should stop now and tried like they sat down should be like everyone who committed the crimes in syria from russia to the assad regime and should like be accountable and very like and you know like the court for everyone to know whats happened and sort of you know youre a mother would you ask mothers here in europe the United States to send their children to syria knowing that their children could die in order to end whats going on there i dont think they need to do Something Like this its more of putting pressure on their governments to do to act for support and. I would just let them think about what you have chosen and in my like shoes on my positions think that if someone was your child whats what should you do to protect your charge books or just what to do to protect the future of this like the holy war you know now like deborah i think at that point of hospitals inside syria its been like mean thats this is what happened here and the like in europe this is what they happened in the usa and the u. K. Like this is not just about syria its about the whole future of this want in your film you say that this is a love letter to your daughter but you also ask your daughter to forgive you. While i would say like ive told her that sometimes when we were inside a hospital in the basement and that was around the house all the time and when i was pregnant with her 2nd sister and i didnt know if we would make it out or not and i wanted her to forgive me about this is wrong that i faked and i dozed like i one was syrian wants to stay in her country and once i got a life for her children for. All her life i wanted her to forgive me for anything cap and for like about their life and i know what ive done was that i think to do but at the same time i wish for her you know the best life. What was it like you thought you were pregnant and you see in the film that you didnt think that youre going to survive it what was it like being. An expecting mother thinking that you were but you know youre about to bring life into the world but your life is about to. Be extinguished i would Say Something maybe kind of weird but it was one of the most likes things that i have ever heard in my life when i was like like feeling some wind to my tummy or like trying to like keep me in some places where theres. At that happening or an aircraft around i was feeling that im more stronger than all of this weapons and all of this part of bombs around us and there is he was trying to use everything to make. A point to destroy the whole city is even like. His study of syria i felt that me with my camera with my baby inside me more strongly that all of this thankfully the hotel and use of in london and some of course is growing up do you hope one day to be able to return to syria and you hope that she can call syria home one day yes of course shes from syria and not just me im going to take on behalf of all of our like 6 men on the fringes all over the ward as syrians we are all like sleep and wake up on the day off like looking at the news and say like and there are now that are like breaking and he was a sad like is down something. Was that very much its nice to meet you and thank you so much thank you thank you.
