Desperation to fuel its political. Will resume operations against Security Forces the president there refused to commit to the peace deal between the u. S. And the islamist. Coming every hour of the day this is our Team International from the team you know me hello and welcome to our top story. For the biggest day in their president ial nomination race. To be the one to challenge donald trump in whats called super tuesday. Well lets go through a particular democratic voters or delegates will cost their ballot in 14. 00 states in a single day one 3rd of the total delegates in the primaries are up for grabs who then go on to choose the final pick while the ballots set the scene for a bottle between former Vice President joe biden progressive senator Bernie Sanders sunders is currently in front with an 8 Party Delegate lead to candidates who have already dropped with both people to the judge one in me close to char no throwing their weight behind the a stop a 2nd for hillary im delighted to endorse and support joe biden Vice President. And my campaign and youre saying joe biden i while taking to twitter donald trump accused the Democratic Party of attempting to stop their front runner from getting nominated again the president was referring to the nomination in 2016 which he ses was skewed in favor of hillary clinton. Is out will be super tuesday votes will go to sleep he didnt great timing this is the real beginning of the dems taking burning out of play no nomination again it is to the republicans advantage to see a brokered convention a chaotic democratic race here on out so you have to wonder since saturday night and looking at and seeing is internals was there actually a conversation and said listen youre young youve got a lot more forward for you in history in history in politics maybe if you help us out here make sure that our party stays our party along establishment lines you might have a place of 20 years of the well forget you have to just think of the time how all of this is happening going into tomorrow with the biggest complaint right now about joe biden if he does not have as many delegates as Bernie Sanders does or has the popular vote behind him tomorrow is very key to getting joe biden numbers out to at least keeping that equal race between the 2 will super choose the old so marks the 1st time the controversial billionaire Mike Bloomberg will be on the ballot keep up and looks at the choice that democrats are putting before voters and what they all have in common. As one of the thick of the race for the democratic president ial nomination 3 major contenders stand out now of course the candidates are emphasizing what is different about them however they do have some things in common all 3 are white all 3 are male and all 3 are in their late seventys meet the grandads who are contending for the democratic nomination. Joe biden is 77 years old and hes the youngest to many he reminds them of an easygoing grandpa with a bad habit of forgetting peoples names please come back in less than 13 years or. Are chad thank you very much all right its christian but anyway i just heard chris i dont know i just heard chuck now hes known to get a little touchy feely with women he says thats because it was acceptable back in his time and its an old man habit that he just cant break 2. Were going to quote from you remember that awkward feeling you had when your grandfather was telling anecdotes about his rough and tough younger days well of joe biden becomes president you might as well get used to it and korean pop was a bad dude and he ran a bunch of bad bores and i did you know and back your nose day job things have changed one of the things you had to use if you used pot made your hair you had to wear a bathing cap. And series up on the board would list message a master you off the board rock about the drag you off where you came off and he said ill meet you outside now sometimes the stories just get so weird to wonder if hes maintaining his sanity going you know sure he received medical school route it was it would be a richer gerald county executive county executive. Closer to graft slightly here we were in a situation i had a president ask me to head up the kids from. Now hoping to take out joe biden is former n. Y. C. Mayor Mike Bloomberg now Michael Bloomberg like many grandparents is known for his generosity. 21. 00 of those were people that i spent 100000000. 00 to help elect all of the new democrats that came in and put nancy pelosi in charge and gave the congress the ability to control this president s eyeball i got them he works really hard to be hip with the kids even knows what a name is. With my screen i think the. Big gay ice cream is the best many suspect he may harbor some racial prejudices. You know. And then theres Bernie Sanders the elderly socialist originally from brooklyn hes the kind of grandpa that everyone seems to be scared of can either coronavirus or Bernie Sanders be stopped they are bernie bolsheviks they are bernie brownshirts thats what they are and their revolution will result in death and misery another homewood to more or another whole accost or whatever we call the next great socialist atrocity totally transform society with firing squads dungeons torture and exile so hes been pretty clear thats what he supports many standards when i now many times Bernie Sanders family has apparently urged him to move into a retirement home but he decided to run for president instead one thing about bernie though is that despite his age its the young voters who love him the most. Not just the campaign we already both generate should know both the ridge show grass roots good now sanders critics love to point out that despite the fact that he rants and raves against billionaires hes certainly no poor man himself sure laugh all you want but its very possible that one of these 3 elderly white men could be the next president of the United States yes if donald trump fails to be reelected its all but certain hell be replaced by someone with white hair white skin and a deep voice and while that does not fit the liberal Democratic Party message about inclusion it also follows a longstanding u. S. Tradition with one notable exception and a few Spring Chickens the United States seems pretty accustomed to having an elderly white guy had to help a little up an artsy new york. We also heard from media list who finds it ironic 2 of these are the big 3 in a party that preaches diversity. But when you deal with a party that speaks to give 1st. He and biden married gender did fluidity and demographic heterogeneity the new when young. And then you end up with this the older rich guy they dont care about diversity they dont care anything they want to win everything about this election it has been the source of great comedic relief for me that being said i want everyone to appreciate what we have right now because we have one of the most seismic collapses of the Democratic Party is about to. Enjoy now we have 2 people so you talk about between a rock and a hard place between this soul and correctness the Democratic Party is absolutely petrified. Moving on the Border Agency from. The ploy extra support for greece which is seeing thousands of Asylum Seekers try to make their way in from turkey now its because of an intensification in fighting in syrias province which lead turkey to claim it can no longer accommodate the refugees and so opened its borders with the you. Know is fiercely resisting. It will turn back anyone attempting to enter illegally as well as crossing by london many migrants attempting to reach boats in the past day or so. Making it to the Eastern Islands controversially video emerges purportedly showing. Full of refugees firing warning shots into the water run them in a separate incident a child draw and off the coast of. Inflatable boat over turned to look at this latest crisis is unfolding. In my mind this is really. The situation at the border. Between turkey and greece escalates the turkish president is warned to expect the number of people trying to cross to increase since the moment we open our borders the number of those who are headed to europe has reached hundreds of thousands that will be more soon this number will be in millions while politicians here in germany are adamant this must not turn into a repeat of what we saw in 2015 even as then i find it unacceptable that the president and again and his government you are not english aid in their discontent the the situation to that is the European Union but instead taking it out on the refugees this is not the right way in my opinion of it because it also with regards to turkey we see the burden that turkeys bearing by comedy to almost 4000000 refugees but we must not only fulfill the obligations from the relevant agreement but you must also remind the turkey side that it is also fulfilling its obligations nowish and right now. In the state of the very a they are very unhappy with the turkish government accusing ankara of trying to squeeze more money out of the European Union we need to create political solution it is clear that we must not allow ourselves to be blackmailed by turkey its a message echoed by the greeks who have suspended all asylum applications for a month athens says migrants are being used as pawns in turkeys game to exert diplomatic pressure turkeys decision to open its border with greece is directly linked to an increase in military action near to its border with syria ankara says they just cant handle the number of people fleeing violence and heading towards them they blame the European Union for not living up to promises turkeys actions violate a 2016 deal with the European Union which they agreed to take millions of refugees and migrants in exchange for Financial Aid the standoff between. Greece in turkey has led to french president emmanuel micron offering his assistance full solidarity with greece and bulgaria france is ready to contribute to european efforts to give them rapid assistance and protect the borders we must act together to avoid a humanitarian and migration crisis the European Council president sharma shell is set to visit the border between greece and turkey to assess the situation on the ground for himself as it continues to increasingly resemble what we saw in 2050 these are all over r. T. Another deadly day in Afghanistan Police there say at least 3 people have been killed 11 others wounded in an explosion near a Football Ground in the Eastern Province of khowst no one has admitted carrying out the a turk however earlier on monday the taliban said it would really launch operations against the tao there kabul government after president gammy refused to commit to the terms of a peace deal between the United States and the Islamist Group the reduction in violence has ended now an operations will continue as normal as part of the us taliban agreement on mujahedeen will not attack Foreign ForcesBus Operators will continue against the Kabul Administration forces i would caution everybody to to think that theres going to be an absolute sation of violence in afghanistan that is probably not going to have its going to go to 0 while pulling out all of us the list will very much Donald Trumps goal to the spider monday set books. Were getting out we want to get out we had good meetings with the taliban and. Were going to be leaving and were going to be bringing our soldiers back home weve been there for almost 20 years its a long time were doing a great job in terms of getting rid of terrorists now its up to other countries to get rid of those terrorists lets bring you another illustration really of the legacy of the afghan war a doctor who helped the american struck Osama Bin Laden has gone on Hunger Strike in prison afridi ses its a protest against the inhumane actions shown to him and his family. He isnt solid confinement exactly he is not. The family is allowed to meet him after 15 days i am not. With him in 2011 should kill a freebie launched a Fake Vaccination Program to collect d. N. A. Samples from bin ladens family so that the u. S. Could find him but dr afridi was then arrested by pakistani intelligence until for treason and 2012 he was sentenced to 33 years convicted of having ties to militants afridi himself always denied the charge his sentence was later reduced by 10 years donald trump promised to rescue the doctor but nothing has been done. You think you can get that doctor out and yes i do i think i would get him out in 2 minutes i would let him out and im sure theyd let him out he promised you were right there get him into a minute of. A lot of them so. Fulfill his promise. Or we have got on to the Pakistan Foreign ministry and the u. S. State department for reaction we will let you know what they say meantime former cia whistleblower john kerr dr afridis help was in calculable on the successive president s feel to solve his plight. Dr afridi really provided a service to the United States that is one of those once in a Lifetime Services i dont think that the u. S. Government would have been able to find some of bin laden with that without the help of the doctor broke obama should have brought him to the United States from pakistan he didnt when i was working for john kerry on the Senate ForeignRelations Committee i recommended to carry that he try to get dr afridi out he couldnt it wouldnt and shouldnt be that hard of a thing to do i can only speculate that these white houses the current one donald trump and the previous one barack obama just were not focused on this President Trump was very interested in improving relations with with pakistan this is a thorn in the side of our relations with pakistan and i think he probably has dropped the issue just with having in mind closer relations overall there is more fallout from the afghan conflict to tell you about it later this news hour brisson looks into why theres been a surge of suicides among veterans from one unit that served in. Exit polls and israel have given Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu a narrow lead in the countrys general election leading him to claim victory the spite of being the 3rd time voters have cast their ballots in less than a year turnout its thought of being the highest in more than 2 decades reporting it all out from tel aviv policy or. The initial exit polls do put the countrys Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu with some 5 parliamentary seats a head of his main rival the former army chief benny guns now this is certainly good news for the likud camp but it does mean that they still one seat short of a parliamentary majority so of course were going to see a lot of bickering and coalition making happening in the coming days there was a lot of concern that the voter turnout would be low this was a surprise it was the highest its been in the past 21 years and this is despite the fact that there are at least 5 and a half 1000 people who are quarantined here in israel with the coronavirus there were concerns that people wouldnt turn out to vote because of that those people voted at 16 special stations set aside especially for them and then the concern around voter fatigue that these are the 3rd elections in the space of 11 months and when i was speaking to people throughout the course of the day many did say that they felt disillusioned many of them said they felt disgusted and this was a word that was echoed by the countrys president when he addressed the nation. It was always a day we consider to be a celebration of israeli democracy and i must say that today i feel most sense of celebration only a sense of hard shame for you the citizens of israel we dont deserve another horrible Election Campaign that deteriorates into such filth like the one that ends today. The political stalemate has been won between the countrys ruling elite could party and the blue and white party of guns to now these 2 parties have been a can make over the past 2 elections and the only thing thats really changed since these elections today monday and the last elections that were held in september is that in november you had the israeli Prime Minister indicted and in january you had the american president announce his peace deal of the same tree but neither of those developments seems to have eaten away at the sense of fatigue most israelis here. Feels. Hurts me a lot to see that weve got into this situation because it cost so much money this is a country thats trying to keep its head above the water in the current Global Economic environment. I think the situation is a disgrace i think havent elections for the 3rd time says a lot about our politicians we are in the situation where no one is willing to compromise we are forced to go to the polls again and again i believe were heading for force an election so its not about on the one hand the situation is not the best its on the other were trying to remain optimistic i would personally like to see a unity government i want to see cooperation between the parties because at the moment according to the post there are no other options. There were protests against netanyahu ahead of these elections at the same time as im clear that should he win how will he actually govern the country while facing criminal charges in court now he has been playing hard to hardball at the same time hes announced that he will and makes the jewish settlements in the west bank and a sizable piece of land known as the Jordan Valley in the occupied west bank naturally this has dismayed our voters and weve also heard from palestinians who say that if these exit polls prove to be correct then israelis have voted for and makes a show and as i say we still need to hear the final results were expecting those to come out sometime on monday but certainly the early signs are that the countrys Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is going to be a very happy man. We will of course bring those results to you well weve got reaction on the exit polls from the stuff for barghouti who heads up the Palestinian National initiative of horowitz newspaper columnist gideon levy. The question is not the comparing the question is what will be the next coming years and it seems according to the exit polls that. Benjamin attorney is going to be the next Prime Minister hes going to continue to be the Prime Minister of israel even though there is. Heavy criminal trial jews even though there was some kind of thought that this time he would look make it he made it and he made it much more successfully than the last 2 complaints not only or did everything he could. To mobilize the supporters to come and vote for him on the other hand there was a very important factor which is the community the palestinians who live in israel have also voted in the largest possible amount since since a very long time all the palestinians inside israel are unified in one list which guaranteed them from 14 to 15 seats which is the highest ever got. Tensions between the u. S. And china are now stretching into a media war with washington ordering china to the number of journalists working in america it is in retaliation for beijing expelling 3 wall street Journal Staff last month kevin all got more in the story from r. T. Correspondent. Well essentially what they have done they have designated 5 chinese outlets and theyve theyve taken them and designated as Foreign Missions this is the way the put them and essentially what it means is that 5 of them are Foreign Missions like foreign agents 4 of them are getting a cap on the number of foreign employees that they are allowed to have working for that working for them for instance one Radio Station is now being allowed only 2 for an employees at all times and heres how washington is justifying this move have a listen the u. S. Government is today instituting a personnel cap on certain peoples republic of china controlled state media entities in the United States because it limits the number of chinese citizens permitted to work for these organizations in the United States at any given time it is our hope that this action will spur beijing to adopt a more fat and reciprocal approach to u. S. And other Foreign Press in china this is a direct response to something that china has done on its own soil so essentially what the United States are doing theyre just giving china a taste of their own medicine the only here the course is that local has also said in the same breath as well as doing this that america is pushing for greater Media Freedom in the same terms clinton. Really of freedom is going to give journeys in america yeah absolutely so the chinese have restrictions on the number of foreign personnel working for Media Outlets there now the United States has well its also always had but now it applies to the Chinese Media so indeed it could be very perplexing but according to my pump a. O. Theres nothing surprising there and america remains a beacon of democracy and freedom of press thats the greatness of our nation reporters like yourself get to ask me any questions or questions we take hundreds and hundreds of questions we talk openly we express our view ask their questions thats how we proceed in america this was obviously a response to a journalist there and. Not only that particular journalist whos being surprised whos raising questions about this approach activists do that as well they disagree with the such a well characteristic that might bump a always giving to the state of Media Freedom in the United States we are uncomfortable with governments deciding what constitutes journalism or propaganda well again the United States are saying china has started now the chinese obviously they are unhappy indeed between china and the United States we have some differences but we do not think its appropriate for the United States to take steps interfering with the work of journalists coming from china so does local like this is going to go on for a while because china is known to well if you show if you meet them with force they will meet you they will double the force of the United States they have been facing some criticism for not having some clear cut guidelines as to how foreign media operates or is supposed to operate under its laws america got the same pill to swallow but for instance aljazeera a qatari funded outlet media outlet theyre feeling fine they are not getting this label of shame that other Media Outlets the chinese and r. T. America have been given in the past some experts that they have been seeing they have been saying that it is a finlay veiled attempt at applying geo political pressure on certain entities and certain government. Britains minister for veterans and has brought forward a Mental Health program to help former soldiers it recently emerged that there has been a surge in suicides among the grouping since the beginning of this year. I want to understand at exactly what stage we could or should have intervened in that process its unimaginable its a tragedy for the institution the army that im so proud of where fully our eyes open and ears open. 14 veterans have taken their own lives in the past 2 months alone their most served in a particular army units involved in britains mission in afghanistan between 222014. Well to find out what might have led to these men taking such a desperate step we spoke to the iraq war veteran martin webster. The numbers the suicide from my from my own regiment weve lost nearly a full platoon lots like 15 soldiers from my regiment the 1st infantry have taken your own lives i can give you a quote from dr Kent Drescher said during the vietnam war the american soldiers were only ever allowed to do 2 years Operational Service to the country says we now have u. S. Veterans 8. 00 to 10. 00 tools of africa and iraq thats like an experiment this is what he said thats like an experiment thats never happened in Human History the rates of p. T. S. D. About time in 2001 present that im president of we are now starting to see the effects of the iraq and Afghanistan War such as captains taking their own lives people with really good pensions with no reason whatsoever on paper saw it for the rest of their life for the sense of having a good pension taking their own lives. Ok those are our stories for now but next whatever happened to the remains of napoleons best friend killed by cannonball in western russia our documentary find my general attempts to find out
