A pair of the top Inspection Teams. With impeccable record both of them play from the western background who have never set a foot wrong suddenly go rogue. A warm welcome to you its friday the 6th of march and youre watching also international with me karyn now our top story the number of new kovac 19 cases around the world has passed 100000 based friday with several countries detecting the corona virus for the 1st time here in russia where 13 cases have been recorded at medical services are on high alert and people arriving from the worst hit nations have been instructed to self isolate for 2 weeks with fears of a pandemic growing shoppers worldwide to starting to panic buy as they stock up on essential. 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 and paper palate is in full cry shoppers swarming stores and clearing shelves of goods as coronavirus called when i was training a newspaper even left database pages empty suggesting its readers use them as an alternative to toilet paper with more on the supermarket onslaught around the wilds his piece all other. Its called how mystical for german literally translates as hamster buying but it doesnt mean that people here were leaning 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 normal perishable goods like past rice toilet paper Hygiene Products and the basics have been flying off shelves as people prepare for potential self isolation as the code 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 is being 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 has counseled 100. Flights with around 150 aircraft are 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 berlin whether they are afraid of the virus. The supermarkets have been plundered and you take what you can cure in order to have something at home as a bad ass i will wait for a bit its important not to be so hysterical. Over that is there greasy i mean once you have a small staggered home which would last for 14 days supply in some food and food is all right but there are a familiar 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 you might be the mule in that there is an epidemic many people die every year and now we have this corona virus theatre its absolutely sickening it is 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 euro 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 a party in. Iran has also been scrambling to contain the virus saying on friday it would limit its travel between cities as the number of cases surged to over 3500 at least 107 people have died in the country including advisers to the Supreme Leader and the foreign minister where the islamic republics Health Care System back laying under the strain of the crisis the us president has offered assistance to to run the rainy and leadership however wasnt impressed. If we can help the iranians with this problem we are certainly willing to do so we would love to be able to help them and all they have to do is ask we will have great professionals over there we have the best of the world if thats the truth the littlest leave the medicine sanctions that is the 1st step so we have done the rainy a nation room and were poor joints no 1st to release banking transactions to purchase medicines do even medicine and to ship medicines and food. Humanitarian goods including medical supplies are officially exempt from the United States is thank sions against iran but other financial restrictions including those that target the countrys banks that limit to rons ability to import vital medication and sanctions have led to shortages of drugs and used to treat cancer and epilepsy there are however many in the us establishment whod like to see those sanctions made even tougher a case in point is Advocacy Group united against nuclear iran which is spearheaded by a former u. S. Government officials like john bolton for instance pressures Big Pharmaceutical Companies to stop doing business with 2 iran however since the coronavirus outbreak it has said it believes the humanitarian needs of the iranian people must be met is professor science Mohammad Marandi from the university of toronto does the sanctions are impeding the or thirtys ability to flights the illness the americans have been forcing Companies Across the world not to cooperate with iran its not just the Banking Sector the Banking Sector does not allow any medicine to be purchased through the network but not only are they blocking bad but theyre also imposing conditions on pharmaceutical companies that are so tough that in reality no one will work with iran so the americans through the sanctions have killed the iranians and right now they are impeding irans battle against the coronavirus. I think a use of tear gas has been hanging above the greek Turkish Border this friday both countries are firing canisters in their increasingly fractious deadlock over the swelling numbers of migrants trying to get into the e. U. Our correspondent shala do bensky has been following the story from custer nears located along with frontier. Well here on the border there were tensions again on friday with both sides accusing the other of using tear gas and deploying it into the others territory now weve had images from the greek side that they say shows turkish c. S. Gas being deployed into no mans land into their territory what they described as being a series of coordinated attacks theyve also provided us with images which show c. S. Gas canisters that they say they were able to lay to retrieve which have turkish markings on them now they have also been reports that the. Military and the police force are aiding the migrants to try and cross into greek territory in fact some are even accusing them of trying to. Using violence to demand access to not just greece but the e. U. But those are of course unconfirmed reports as this is been happening here on the greek border e. U. Foreign ministers have been meeting in zagreb to discuss the issues and the tensions with 2 key after it opened its eye just about a week ago and we know that the message from them is that the e. U. Would not be pressured by turkey over this situation in fact the. Foreign affairs chief. Reminded people that the borders will remain closed. Critical situation. If people have to. If they dont have to tell the people. And people have to pass. Lead to these. Well turkey has said it borders will remain open they have been open now for a round a week and we know that camps are forming on the other side on the turkish side as migrants come close to the border in the hope of getting into the e. U. Right. 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 now i just want to give you a sense of how many people have tried to get through or at least hunger 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. 3 says thats not true in fact theyve given the statistics that show all of the around 250 people have been arrested in the last week the majority were from afghanistan some 64 percent they said in regard to syrian suit being arrested it 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. To whistleblowers have struck back at the world chemical weapons watchdog issuing responses to an earlier inquiry by the o. P. C. W. The organization previously said the pair had gone rogue after they publicly criticized its conclusions about alleged chemical attack and duma syria 2 years ago they now want a scientific herring and a letter to the director general they accuse the watchdog of ignoring their work. Inspect to be annoyed 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 was 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 ny 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 casts 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 backed by evidence their behaviors even more egregious as they had manifestly incomplete information about the doom and vesta gave their conclusions were erroneous uninformed and grown 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 did these old circumstances not ring some warning bells they sure are confident in their qualification. But it goes farther than that inspectors a and b. Categorically rejects 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 joined the team shortly after the start of the deployments to do inspect a b. 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 red leak button something had gone wrong inside the open c. 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 us. The activities of the Fact Finding Mission were managed by o. Chief of cabinet from fronts whose views are echoed in both the narratives does it not strike you was 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 we lost their p. C. To pay for its response to their claims in the meantime we spoke to former f. B. I. Agent on whistleblower Colleen Rowley who suspects a Smear Campaign that the. 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 elevation 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 believe ability that they would have gone rogue they and 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. The time of the program something fishy is going on in the waters around britain the government says it will deploy the navy to repel if youre Fishing Vessels want to break this concrete base have unlocked the break. Anyone else chose seemed wrong. Just dont call. Me. Yet to shape out these days become active. And engaged because betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Join me every thursday on the alex im unsure and ill be speaking to get us to the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. The question is always ben what do you do with Global Economy that relies on just in time to live array of parts and Services Mostly from play a wage china is interrupted by a Global Pandemic and cant be overcome with more money printing thats the big question. Welcome back 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 a somali now explains. The town of pool 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 daily town but life could be about to be brutally disrupted if the political rhetoric is to be believed the u. K. s tory government to warn the e. U. That if their ships try to access british waters theyll deploy the world maybe to keep them out of such a 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 months the u. K. Wants the e. U. To follow british law and for negotiations to take place annually similar to an agreement they have with norway that he however wants to have a Long Term Agreement with quotas on fishing missy uses the deficit tree 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 all we played with emotion was drama was passion with symbols 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 founts decided to take that action. I think that it would just for him and that we need to. Manage ourselves and on fully prepared for things i dont think it would worry that the u. K. Fishermen until we should have our own waters back. In the past we have adam and its belgiums everyone gets bigger quote those than the english freshman so shanks got to be done if the english freshman done an offense that would be arrested on the other side of the channel the food of mistrust of neutral and the sense is that a confrontation is inevitable about financial we havent really been informed we hope this case is looking up because if there were no negotiations it would mean a 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. Ah but since youre 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. In the goetia sions 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 longtime allies.

A lot of u. S. 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 maupin 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 but its only 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 she gets back on the debate writes translation to see finally hit the debate qualifications so weve got to do something about that despite the fact theres literally only 5 people left in the race. You must really not want to debate 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 amy clover sharers 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 locked around 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 tossing 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 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. This vitally important war agenda caleb mopp and archie new york. Thanks for joining us here on Aussie International were back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines well see you then.
