With this vehicle serving as both a getaway car and a home tarps are the only shield against the cold families live cook and sleep crowded together. At this camp north of aleppo 200 families are stranded in no mans land. And his Fine Brothers are among those who fled bombing and destruction. We live here in this 3 wheeler we dont have anything else left we hope someone can help us. Not a day goes by without fresh attacks suffering and death in a province as syrian and russian fighter jets prepare the ground for advancing government troops. Islamist militias bitterly fight back with the help of turkey which has been bombing Syrian Army Positions for days. These satellite images show escalation at the expense of the most vulnerable who are now forced to live in cramped conditions a year earlier this region in Northern England was almost completely deserted. Well the. Situation here is tragic theres no medical aid no medicine no clinic near here. We have nothing here little model families have even set up their tents on train tracks to protect themselves from flooding and insects its an improvised refuge in what the u. N. Says is the most dire crisis in the world and i want to do a little bit. And while erica won and putin are holding talks in moscow a crisis at turkeys border with greece is intensifying all turkey says its sending 1000 riot police to the region and theyve been ordered to stop the return of refugees whove been pushed back by greek border authorities after trying to cross into the European Union on the migrants headed to the border a week ago after turkey said it would no longer stop them from entering europe because they already say some 35000 people have tried to cross into greece in the past week. All right lets get the very latest and now our correspondent yulia han is in the turkish town neha close to the border with greece yulia what is the situation today at the border. Well the turkish interior minister paid a visit to the border area and he announced that 1000. 00 Additional Special forces would be deployed to this area to prevent these socalled push backs of migrants by greek a Border Guards now push backs are a set off measures intended to send migrants back refugees back as soon as they cross the border this is basically without you know looking at their individual circumstances or damn having the chance to apply for asylum and this is from what we understand this is what what is happening here right now we hear a lot of reports of greek Border Guards pushing back migrants to talk here this is a highly controversial measure and human rights organizations say its illegal its against european nor now we met migrants here on the turkish side of the border who told us they made it to the greek side across the green border they were detained by greek police they would beaten up thats what they said they showed as their bruises they also say their money was being taken from them and then they were sent back to turkey now imagine what might happen if turkey is now using riot police will special forces to prevent these pushbacks we might actually see tacky and griese in the coming days playing ping pong with people. One of the people behind you can see it theres almost a makeshift camp forming there in the region what are they telling you. Well yeah this is a makeshift camp that has kind of sprung up here in the town people are preparing for another bitterly cold nights here its already wary cold they are lighting fires some of tens these are the people who are clinging to this sliver of hope that the border to europe might indeed be opened in the next days thats what they tell me people here are from syria but theyre also from afghanistan pakistan from african countries from iran and these people here are all determined to stay they tell me we dont see any other chance this is our chance at a better life at the same time we see there are buses offering rights back home to istanbul for about 12 to 15 euros i just talked to a Bus Company Owner who said he has 7 buses per day going back to istanbul and he says most of the people who came here a week ago trying to cross the border into europe have already gone back of course we can verify these figures the overall situation here is very difficult its very difficult to get an understanding what the figures are the people here right now are determined to stay you leon reporting from the Turkish Border with greece thank you. And lets take you now to the other side of the border right across from where we just left you here is the greek town. There our reporter mark zander met a group of myrons who have managed to cross into greece heres their story. Exhausted and with nowhere to turn to these young pakistani men managed to slip into greece when bashir says the Turkish Military force them to the border he tells us theyve been walking aimlessly for the last 10 hours. With what were being moved from one side to the other by the military where stuck in the middle at the beginning there were around 25 of us but only 3 made it the others were arrested. They know that if they are caught by the greek police they too will be arrested. Others didnt even get that far like these migrants who gathered behind the border fence in turkey in an attempt to cross Greek Security forces used tear gas against them and allegedly even deadly force. These images from the other side of the border were given to us by the turkish government injured migrants being carried around from the fence. On caresses group Security Forces shot live rounds into the crowds killing one and injuring 5 others a claim the greek government has called fake news pressure continues along the greek frontier almost a week after turkey said its border to the European Union was open to everyone its a cross. For the tough handling of the situation greek authorities have not only received praise by european leaders but also the highest cleric in greece archbishop pell the most traveled to the border town custom yes for a special service in honor of the Greek Security forces and those living in the border region yes this is the me. That this you know that we are proud of your what makes this use proud of your struggle is the moments that not only for the army not only for grace or you will have a view of the european friends want to know how partners and allies should be here as well because we have to support these borders all together. People here in the border. One of custom years for a long have felt abandoned by the European Union local mayor. Is calling for a common and sustainable solution to deal with migration but for the people waiting at the border he has offered up little hope anybody can bet if. There is no chance for these 1000000 refugees to end up in europe and in great certain extent its inevitable i wish for all these people to reach their destination minutes in the lava but whats happening right now is impossible. Not only for us. But for all of europe to take in these large numbers of people will be. Here and his friends have made it to europe but their final destination germany is still a long way to go. We will keep walking we have no car no money no food and nothing to drink well just keep walking with god. Guard. As they continue their journey they have no idea if they are going to make it but they know they want to get away from this dangerous front here as fast as they can.

C. The numbers going up right and lets talk a little bit about you know this country is taking of a proactive in least taking a very proactive approach to a battling the outbreak of the virus any further measures that are being planned by the government. Well we do know that they did put in place a 3600000000. 00 euro stimulus package to help companies that have been affected and the cabinet is meeting to decide whether theyre going to put additional measures just simply to how those who have been badly affected those particularly in the lock down the bridge so devious up north on top of that providing more money to the Civil Protection services that are being in the front line of this theres also talk about possibly extending the writ so to a particular area around bit old so its low but he has seen spike in the number of inspections and they could possibly extend the closure off the schools and universities beyond the 15th of march but they will have to see how the day how he shoots it the sections of the dresses the dates the so cynical to reporting from rome italy thank you. Irans Health Minister has announced that all schools and universities in the country will remain closed until the end of the iranian calendar year on march 20th iran is one of the worst hit countries by the corona Virus Outbreak and has officially recorded more than 3500 cases including 107 deaths while meanwhile 2 men in iran who defied Coronavirus Health warning warning screen be jailed and flogged after videos of them licking holy shrines were circulated. Andy. Is here with me in the studio with more on this ali licking holy shrines in the best of times is probably not a good idea but in these times of the coronavirus yeah no definitely not these videos they have been emerging of the last few weeks of men of different holy sites in iran where men are licking and kissing in these shrines and now clerics believes that some of these shrines. Are actually able to shore deceases and thats what theyre doing its i one of these videos which has been viewed more than a 1000000 times on social media because man says that hes not afraid of the coronavirus another video shows the man that says he is doing this to contract the current virus because he wants to protect inexplicably other visitors from contracts are going to the could be coronavirus now these 2 men have been arrested and they actually face pale face jail time and slow going. For spreading this information so authorities seem to be. Worried about the spread of the virus even with these 2 reading draconian measures but on the other side theyre not shutting down these holy science so theyre sending is a bit of a mixed bag. Of information this and what more are iranian authorities during well. Iran is one of the worst affected areas of the corona virus they have the 2nd highest death toll outside of china. But there is a lot of secrecy going on so its hard to get the official get the official numbers out Health Care Workers doctors and nurses are really even saying that there are security agents in the hospital to make sure that they dont share information with other peoples its very hard to verify the numbers that are coming out of iran but authorities are taking some action we seeing pictures here from tehran where firefighters are disinfecting Public Places so thats being done theres a proposal to send 300000. 00 militia members door to door around the country to disinfect peoples homes or the Health Officials or Health Experts are saying that might actually be counterproductive and might even be spreading the virus if if they take if they take the measures its a bit of a hodgepodge of messages that are being proposed here and even yesterday president rouhani rejected an offer of aid from the United States saying that they should lift sanctions on meds and instead sir very tough situation for iran and iranians theyre dealing with this outbreak to these all the us occur thank you very much thank you for an xray weve got some membrey king news to share with you now the New York Times are reporting that u. S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has ended her campaign to be the democratic nominee for president the 70 year old progressive candidate had been considered a top contender for the white house but she suffered a string of poor results in primary elections most recently on super tuesday when she didnt win a single state well lets get us some a Quick Reaction now from washington correspondent stephanie seen on is standing by stefan what has senator Elizabeth Warren said about her reason for suspending her president ial campaign. Nothing yet she is apparently as we speak here on a Conference Call with her deputies and her Campaign Infrastructure that meets with the managers local managers in the different states and discusses with them explains to them and to the to her staff why she is suspending her campaign but the reason is fairly obvious and if you remember we were a little bit prophetic about this yesterday that was a done deal yesterday after the performance of Joe Biden Super tuesday and her making 3rd place even in her own state losing her own state not skeptical eyes and all the delegates there so she didnt have the money anymore she didnt have the support anymore she didnt get the numbers and delegates anymore there was no way out for her she had to. Suspend her campaign the question is the most important question is who is she endorsing now who will she endorse exactly that was my question will she endorse another democratic candidate for president. Us. Everybody thinks so but you know its not we cant guarantee it but bets are out that she is going to make the call sooner or later maybe today maybe shes taken a few days to him all this over a little bit more who to endorse she worse programmatically in terms of policy issues closer of course to Bernie Sanders as a progressive Bernie Sanders as a very progressive or or or a very left contender closer to him than to joe biden however it is that is that requires some soul searching now what to do and has an impact if she goes for by and that means she will throw her Campaign Data and boots on the ground to people who work with her into the biden 10 and the data about potential voters and support so well see how this will work out how this all pans out where did it all go wrong for her stuff done. I think its fair to say that she was in the beginning. A high rank contender she had good chances to make this further then she went and got right now however Bernie Sanders. Howd so to speak she was progressive but. Somewhat in the middle of conservative progress if that makes any sense sanders had more dynamic and had more Younger Voters urban educated voters democrats in the primaries than she had and then joe biden came with the black vote and female vote in urban areas and the older vote there was no chance for Stephan Siemens that reporting on that breaking news of senator Elizabeth Warren suspending her president ial campaign thank you for the update.
