Elves stripped bare is a straw is prepare for a Pandemic Take a look at this we went out to take a look for ourselves yesterday and there wasnt a toilet roll inside members. Being its happening all over the country the great soil of paper pad it is in full cry shoppers swarming stores and clearing shelves of goods as coronavirus called one us trade a newspaper even left 8 of its pages empty suggesting its readers use them as an alternative to toilet paper when more on the supermarket onslaught around the world 1 has peace all over. Its called comes to colorful in german literally translates as how im still buying but it doesnt mean that people here were living across the federal republic of being stocking up on adorable Furry Friends it means theyve been panicked by essentially in fear that the coronavirus empty shelves in supermarkets across berlin have become a common sight as people hoard fresh fruit and vege as well as perishable goods like past rice toilet paper Hygiene Products and the basics have been flying off the shelves as people prepare for potential self isolation as the covert 90 crisis spreads around the world while emergency testing tents of being set up at hospitals to identify those with the virus the German Government has been giving its assessments of the current situation. Means you know chinas coronavirus outbreak has become a Global Pandemic is always a question of finding the right balance on the one hand between the restrictions necessary to contain the virus and on the other enabling every day life to continue whats clear is that we have not yet reached the peak of the outbreak its not just the muse systems that the viruses be attacking the economy is also taking a real pounding the German Airline lufthansa is council. Hundreds of flights with around 150. 00 aircraft per grounded the German Economy one of the most robust in europe is facing the real possibility of sliding into recession we asked people here on the streets of pearlie whether they are afraid of the virus wide of an issue and these are the supermarkets have been plundered and you take what you can cure in order to have something at home as a fat ass and i will wait for a bit its important not to be so hysterical fabric that is there greasy i mean once you have a small staggered home which would last for 14 days as supply in some food and again food is all right but Everything Else i think its massively exaggerated im not doing penny buying and doing my usual Grocery Shopping it would be nice if others who did the same then it would not need to drive to multiple stores this is good you might be the new one that there is an epidemic many people die every year and now we have this corona virus there so its absolutely sickening in a silly which is being the hardest hit in europe all schools and universities have been closed for 2 weeks in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus panic buying is also being seen in the United Kingdom where theres also huge economic concerns over the impact in a nation with a poultry system of sick pay compared to other European Countries it could see some force to survive on just over 100 year old week the reality is we dont know what is going to happen next with this new virus the best advice we have is to avoid panicking practice good hand washing hygiene and avoid touching bases before all of us see the early. Days of tear gas has been lingering above the greek Turkish Border this friday both countries are firing callistas in their increasingly fractious deadlock over the swelling numbers of migrants trying to get into the e. U. Our correspondents are doing. He is following the story. Located along the border fence there charlotte i want company where you want and how tense is the situation. Well as you mentioned there has been tear gas deployed from both sides of the buddha not far from where we are here in casting yes were right on the greek side of the border you could see down the road is no mans land no greek authorities sent his video today showing what they said was tear gas having to be deployed from the turkish side in what they described as being cool warton day to day attacks and they also supplied us with images showing turkish markings on the c. S. Canisters that they say would discovered in the greek side of territory now we also have had accusations that the Turkish Military has been trying to aid crossing into greece and also accusations that they have been jew linking them into acting violence in demanding access to not just greece but to the e. U. Now the e. U. Foreign ministers have been meeting in zagreb today where the situation has been discussed and the wood there particularly from the e. U. Foreign affairs chief. Is that the borders are not open. If. Critical situation. People have to. They dont have to tell the people. Because. Hundreds of people. Lead to. Turkey has said it will remain open they have been open now for a round a week and we know that camps all forming on the other side on the turkish side as migrants come close to the border in the hope of getting in. To the e. U. Now amid these skirmishes between the 2 sides we know that turkey is now reinforcing its Security Forces on the border. A 1000 special forces officers are being deployed to the merrick river on the border fully equipped 3 people being pushed back. Well weve been speaking to some of the citizens who have put together this volunteer Border Patrol guard theyve been out in operating the last few nights weve been speaking to them and theyve been saying that there are around 300 citizens on every shift protecting the border roy the way from where we are in casts in years down to the Mediterranean Sea and that gives you a sense of how strong the feeling is here about what people are determined to do to protect their borders now theyve said in the past 2 nights they have seen more Turkish Police on the border across on the other side and they said that they have seen camps forming there now just to give you a sense of how many people have tried to get through temps or have been of people trying to get through in the last week were talking 203040000 attempts in the 12 hours between thursday evening and friday morning they were just under 3000 attempts actually down from the night before when there was some 7000 attempts for people to get through the border now turkey has said this is syrians who are waiting to try and cross into the e. U. Greece says thats not true in fact theyve given the statistics that show all of the around 250 people that have been arrested in the last week the majority were from afghanistan some 64 percent they said and they said after that it was 19 percent from pakistan in fact they said when you came in regard to syrians who been arrested its so far only 4 percent but the feeling here in greece is one of defiance we know that theyre also trying to extend the fence the physical fence between turkey and greece extending it from around 12 and a half kilometers up to 40 kilometers and in fact weve seen new barbed wire fencing passing us as weve been in cast in years on friday but the message to migrants is clear from greece and from the e. U. You will not pass according life from the greek Turkish Border thank you for the update. Now as a result of the crisis along the border with turkey several fieri with members of the European Parliament have been calling for the suspension of all cooperation with anger. This is again a good lesson for us that the European Union doesnt soften our problems it only makes the problems worse we paid 6000000000 euros to the turkish regime and what do we get after several years we only get blackmailed again so does the other gun just wants more money from us and this has to stop infinity is clear that mr hat out of the store are not a reliable partner or sound so i think that the e. U. Should keep the interim council because i think that your piano. Have lost a lot of money i mean in my view would be an appropriate response for the e. U. To suspend the Turkish Customs Union with immediate effect. And. We may well be demanding this in the not too distant future. To whistleblowers have struck back at the world chemical weapons watchdog a shoo in responses to an earlier inquiry by the i. P. C. W. The organization previously said the pad had gone broke after they publicly criticized its conclusions a possible alleged chemical attack in duma syria 2 years ago they now want to scientific herring and in a letter to the director general they accuse the watchdog of ignoring their work. Inspected b. And i tried on many occasions to meet with you you may also know or perhaps not that these requests were all denied the reason given by a senior official words its my role to protect the director general you will never get to speak with him and if you try to go around me to get him there will be consequences letters to the director of the Global Chemical weapons watchdog courtesy of the gray zone project there the latest development in a ping Pong Exchange of correspondence between david and goliath whistleblowers and the o. P. C. W. Inspector in i have tried to resolve our concerns with you in private. However this saga has unfortunately escalated to a point where we are now publicly portrayed as adversaries inspectors are now being smeared as the into this is of these values for nothing more than daring to speak out the smearing started back in february with a report in response to what the Organization Called a breach of confidentiality leaks that cast doubt on the o. P. C. W. s conclusions about duma they said the gas cylinders were likely place there rather than dropped from an aircraft and that one area was likely not even subjected to a chemical attack but the report barely even touched on any of that the authors were too busy trying to tear the whistleblowers inspectors a and b. To pieces inspectors a and b. Are not whistleblowers theyre individuals who could not accept that their views were not perfect but evidence their behaviors even more egregious as they had manifestly incomplete information about the doom and vesta gave their conclusions were erroneous uninformed and rone erroneous uninformed that doesnt seem very becoming for 2 guys who are apparently the Inspection Team leaders why would a pair of the top Inspection Team leaders both with impeccable record both incidentally from the west and Group Background who have never set a food room suddenly go rogue these old circumstances not ring some warning bells they sure are confident in their qualifications but it goes farther than that inspectors a and b. Categorically reject one of the o. P. C. W. s biggest claims against them that they have pretty much nothing to do with the investigation and no access to Important Information when i join the team shortly after the start of the deployments to do inspect to be and i continued playing a central role in the overall investigation the final report didnt exactly benefit from the editorial turnaround information was slashed details removed and facts dont explain why its not like the inspectors didnt try to get answers to their questions before pressing the big. Read the leak button something had gone wrong inside the office e. W. Sir and we wanted you to know its that simple they even think there might have been a bit of deception at play the investigation was conducted by a british investigator and a lawyer from the usa the activities of the Fact Finding Mission were managed by your chief of cabinet from france whose views are echoed in both the narratives does it not strike you as somewhat biased in that the 3 individuals represent the 3 defendants the 3 countries who were responsible for the missile strikes in response to the allegation of a chemical attack in duma and o. P. C. W a leak and some back and forth later there are still so many questions and few answers as to what really happened weve asked the i. P. C. Debate for its response to their claims and the meantime we spoke to former f. B. I. Agents on whistleblower Colleen Rowley who suspects a smear campaign. The allegation and an accusation that these 2 inspectors who were amongst the top experts they were the 1st hand investigators that actually examined the evidence the l a geisha in that they went rogue makes no sense at all and again given that they were amongst the top professionals in it with the expertise in engineering and in chemical weapons these were the top people so it really is really defies are believe ability that they would have gone rogue they asked their close to retire you know they have done a many many years of faithful service to the o. P. C. W. They believe in the mission of truth in times of war truth becomes the 1st casualty and syria is no different at this point it would have to be one side is not telling the truth here and. The entity that changed conclusions of reports would be the suspected entity that is not telling the truth. So its a common occurrence around something fishy is going on in the war surround gricean the government said it would deploy the navy to repel an 8 year Fishing Vessels once practice complete Details Online after the break. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you then. Welcome back were 10 says it will deploy the navy to prevent Fishing Vessels from entering its waters is becoming a key Sticking Point in the briggs it trade talks as easily explains. The town of poole on englands south coast is one of the u. K. s oldest fishing communities and the local economy relies heavily on the fisheries industry its a calm and a delhi town but life could be about to be brutally disrupted if the political rhetoric is to be believed the u. K. s tory government of warned the e. U. That if their ships try to access british waters theyll deploy the royal navy to keep them out setting the stage for a confrontation on the high seas we have increased a. Sufficient the u. K. Is currently in a socalled transition period in the gauche a should have begun which will determine what kind of deal the u. K. Will leave with at the end of december this year but when it comes to fishing the 2 sides are still far apart in the demands the u. K. Wants the e. U. To follow british law and for negotiations to take place on you really similar to an agreement they have with norway they you however wants to have a Long Term Agreement with quotas on fishing missy uses the death of secretary warned the e. U. Against trying to use fisheries as a negotiating chip while the french of hit back saying theyre more than ready to get nasty if the u. K. Isnt willing to play ball always plays with emotion was drama was passion we seem bold and we know how to make it a very i think nasty battle both sides both sides very nice about them playing nasty could mean the french blockading channel ports and some british fishermen say that the french are provoking the u. K. Into taking harsh measures if elements decided to take that action. I think that it would just firm apology meant that we need to. We need to self manage ourselves and on were fully prepared for things like that i dont think it would worry that the u. K. Fishermen to talk and we should have our own waters back in the past we have an atom and if its belgiums fired everyone gets bigger quote than the english fisherman so sank scholar to be done if the english freshman done an offender that would be arrested on the other side of the channel the food of mistrust is mutual and the sense is that a confrontation is inevitable but on a sort of biblical definition we havent really been informed we hope this case is looking up because if there were no negotiations it would mean no deal at the end of the year in this case would be excluded from british waters this would be a disaster for the fishermen of the whole to france but also for french fishermen in general. About this year so obviously it is a deal or no deal but i think that if you are going towards a no deal with the u. K. As ourselves the European Union not only france would lose a lot so anyway it is not in our interest or u. K. Interest we must find an agreement with great britain. The u. K. Negotiations only began formally this week but already the question of fisheries could derail talks and lead to tit for tat retaliations that harm both french and british fishing communities and damage relations between these long time allies. In other news around the great global our officials in 10 years here say 5 Police Officers and one civilian have been wounded after 2 suicide bombers blew themselves up near the u. S. Embassy in the capital has claimed responsibility for the attack. And no gunmen opened fire at a Memorial Ceremony in the Afghan Capital attended by a president ial challenger Abdullah Abdullah here scaped on hurts but the Health Ministry stays at 727 people were killed the interior Ministry Says both as hard as it were eliminated the taliban has denied carrying out the attack it comes just days after the u.

Right place in the colombian capital use tear gas and water cannon against students protesting nearby gotos National University of colombia on thursday protesters build barricades set fire to Police Vehicles and 3 projects theyre calling for additional funding for education. So a lot of us election focus right now is on how the Democratic Party choice is pretty much down to white men in their seventys but hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is still in the race she won 2 delegates in American Samoa and so makes it through to the next democratic debate but the Party Executive wants to shift the goalposts on that as caleb morton explains. The Democratic Partys machine has been widely exposed for playing favorites when it comes to president ial candidates the latest example of this is the treatment of tulsa gabbert as a result of these super tuesday vote Tulsi Gabbert gained a delegate and was thus eligible to appear in the televised debate so the d. N. C. Then changed the rules we have 2 more debates of course the threshold will go up by the time we have the much debate almost 2000 delegates will be allocated the threshold will reflect where we are in the race as it always has the rules keep changing in order to make sure that tulsi is locked out her supporters poured out their rage on to twitter god forbid told c. Gets back on the debate writes translation tosi finally hit the debate qualifications so we got to do something about that despite the fact theres literally only 5 people left in the race. You must really not want to move to big stage pathetic the bias against tulsa gabbert is rather extreme media reports pretend that she doesnt even exist they claim that Elizabeth Warren is somehow the only female candidate and youre going to Say Something about Elizabeth Warren is she going to benefit by being the only woman left now that any club or shares out Elizabeth Warren recently dropped out of the race so if the democrats want to keep with their message of inclusion they should have telsey gabbert on the stage but they seem to have a lock her out just like theyve done in the past furthermore Tulsi Gabbert is currently suing Hillary Clinton for publicly smearing her as a russian asset now some people suspect that the bias against tulsa gabbert is rooted in the fact that back in 2016 she endorsed Bernie Sanders and did not line up behind Hillary Clinton furthermore its worth pointing out that shes been rather critical of the debate process and the lack of inclusion back in november tolson gabbert used her permitted debate appearance to go after d. N. C. Favorite candidate Camila Harris and her record as a criminal prosecutor the facts were damning and the Harris Campaign shut down shortly afterwards however it seems to be tulsi as an antiwar stance taken as she is a u. S. Service member that is the real on forgivable clincher she wants to end regime change wars and cut military spending congress and just passed a 738000000000. 00 war budget instead of providing for the health the safety the security of the well being of our people and our planet the Democratic Partys leadership seems to disagree with her they favor regime change operations and bloated military expenditures the Democratic Party favors continued military operations around the world done in the name of defending democracy and at home they dont mind arbitrarily changing the rules to make sure that democracy doesnt get in the way.

The question as well as ben what do you do with a Global Economy that relies on just in time to live array of parts and Services Mostly from labor wages china is interrupted by a Global Pandemic and cant be overcome with more money printing thats the big question. Thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the countrys military and the decision. Every thing came to a complete. The day that i was raped. You know told to shut up but theyd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he raped me with his birthing area if you take into account that women dont report because of the extreme retaliation and its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but ive never seen trauma like ive seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished them the offender and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats a man or when.

When something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Readings and sally you take us while we get lost in all of the pomp and circumstance of u. S. President ial elections and fears of a virus pandemic i want to solve remember that one of the most important aspects of these 2 major stories is the reporting that has brought them to our doorsteps a new species. Its journalism the 4th the state that gives us the ability to question candidates seeking Public Office and hold officials accountable for their actions in times of crisis and that for the state has been under attack for quite some time not only from its own internal greedy thirst for higher readerships an advertising dollars but also externally by governments individuals and corporations seeking to control the narrative and this external threat was on full display recently in southeast London England at the war its crown court where the extradition hearings of wiki leaks founder and publisher julian a songe have been under way accused of conspiring with former Us Army Intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to obtain and disclose classified information and charges 17 counts of violating the 1917 u. S. Espionage act assad has not only facing down the possibility of 175 years in prison but also the full wrath of the u. S. Government in its history of torture and abuse of Political Prisoners if the United Kingdom courts grant this extradition professor of journalism Roy Greenslade sums up the threat of assads persecution writing in the guardian that quote these offensives may relate specifically to one mans activities but should they succeed they would set a terrible precedent the aim is to prevent whistleblowers from telling the truth and journalists from giving them a platform. So at this pursed round of extradition hearings coming to a close
