Democratic president ial nomination following the all important super tuesday but with the amount of endorsements by one hand from those that have dropped out theres a growing belief the Party Establishment has already shown it. And italy puts its northern provinces on lockdown amid the coronavirus break with the streets of the tourist mecca of like no longer being purely empty and coping with the quarantine and russia are. Described as 2 weeks in self isolation after a trip to hong kong. When they mentioned. As it was it is a. Fool. Welcome to the weekly here on R T International where we bring you the top stories from the past week greece says it has prevented iran 39000 Asylum Seekers from crossing into the e. U. From turkey the situation escalated after ankara said it would no longer honor a deal on migration. It was. A little bit of. A cut above 7. Always good to have entered greek territory has been the rest of the day. And in my mind this is going to go way over and during one country. Now on thursday turkey announced the deployment of a 1000 Additional Police officers to the border to stop greece driving back the Asylum Seekers migrants are continuing to try and cross despite tear gas being fired from both sides and athens using water cannon prefers that it will turn back all those attempting to cross illegally and have suspended asylum applications for a month are to charlotte different drove along the border to see the impact the crisis is having. Come further down south was still on the greek so i did the border with turkey where new town called ferries and i just want you to get a sense of the action thats happening all around us were just outside the town hall the local mayors all face and it looks like people are gathering here in the anticipation is going to wards the Turkish Border and forming some kind of human chain tonight to ensure that there are no illegal crossings from turkey so we didnt get to speak to the man he wasnt hit tonight but we did get to speak to many of the people who were taking part in the sachin and they all seemed to be pretty tense knew the mood was full of to. In fact one guy said to me you can feel it. Everybody is here tonight because we want to help greece protect its borders from any kind of illegal migration we see people from bangladesh afghanistan anywhere from places that have nothing to do with war and they come to our country essentially the e. U. We think europe should change its stance and contribute to send a strong message to turkey the largest political policies of previous years that these people to enter a country without carrying any permit for documents was a very big mistake and created issues of inequality greece is not room it is european country but europe should support it because until now greece is not going supported weve left the town the whole now were driving out towards the front in the hope of getting a sense of whats going to happen on the border overnight to get a sense of what this human chain to protect the greek borders from anybody trying to cross illegally its going to be a line so were just coming up to a checkpoint now where theyre stopping us. Yes. Right now you just official we have to turn around just ok so were being told we have to turn around we cant go any further. Far out for various we spoke the greek on me in what looks like Illegal Migrants on this side of the road. Weve had a chat with the offices they said we cant film but they have confirmed that they found the 2 Illegal Immigrants trying to cross the software we are in the square planned pint and they told us that 2 individuals from afghanistan to receive an update from the volunteers who are not securing that we would end the affair is a video showing the mine. Camped out on the pool. As we were trying to film. We stopped this my cameraman being scooped it up. Like a ministry person out through to the border. So you just an update on that situation all thats been smooth but we have moved away from the border because we dont want to create more tension with the security personnel that are there but it gives you a sense of how much tension there is here given the fact that the volunteers are out willing to be in the middle of nowhere in the way to secure their borders the fact that we were told not to come anywhere near the border that the greek Prime Minister said this week that his country wouldnt be blackmailed by turkey and he said that they would do Everything Possible to stop an invasion of migrants crossing the border illegally and that is exactly what we seeing in towns like this that ability for people to take up their own norms and to go to the borders to protect greece from anybody trying to cross even ski r. T. In ferris. Some periods m. E. P. Is blamed turkey for the crisis and are now demanding brussels and all cooperation with the country. 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 some of the several years we only get blackmailed again so it is the end of the gun just wants more money from us and this has to stop. When it is clear that mr. Stork you are not a reliable partner or sound so i think that you should keep the council because it seems that your p. R. Have lost a lot. 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. Super tuesday a major day for primary elections and caucuses in the us has cut the number of candidates and the democratic race for the president ial nomination of Bernie Sanders and joe biden now leading 4 candidates including the billionaire and former new york mayor Michael Bloomberg have since said they were quitting to back by a move seen as a bid to undermine sanders i am ending my campaign and endorsing joe biden i am join us joe biden and i hope you will join me im delighted to endorse and support joe biden for president. There is a. Strong. But its not a secret that anybody in this room. Establishment is going to go to the political establishment is going to go to everybody. Just to remind you super tuesday is when the largest number of states head to the polls they get delegates one go on to make their final selection for candidate after endorsements from blue to judge and are biden won the most states centers only got 4 states to bidens 10 though one of sanders victories california has the most delegates are open breaks down how Bernie Sanders has come under attack from his rivals. Its been a long winter for the democrats theyve been feeling the cold burn oh you know we know you believe. In god you know here youre right over in the lobby. No one. Was in the but now as the spring rolls in the party has descended into panic i think its a little late to stop and i think thats the problem the game it is pretty much over reading last night about the fall of france in the summer of 1940 and then general reno closer to churchill and says its over can either coronavirus or Bernie Sanders be stopped totally transform society with firing squads dungeons torture and exile so hes been pretty clear thats what he supports morning standards but stopping the burning machine is not an easy task after all most rank and file democrats more or less agree with his policies so heres how the operation has moved forward. The reds are coming trigger those cold war terrorists socialism is a threat to American Freedom see that hammer and sickle and be afraid be very very afraid i believe if castro and in the ribs had won the cold war there would be executions in central park and i might have been one of the ones getting executed and certain other people would be there cheering lets not forget that Bernie Sanders once praised cubas achievements in terms of literacy and health care were very opposed to be authoritarian they tour of cuba but you know its unfair to simply say everything goes but you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a Massive Literacy Program its not a bad thing after 4 years of looking on in horror as sean cozied up to dictator. We need a president who will be extremely clear in standing against regimes that violate human rights abroad we cant risk nominating someone who doesnt recognize this fidel castro and if a dog can see forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people. Lets talk about his Literacy Program but most millennia old dont even remember the cold war communism doesnt really scare them and socialism certainly doesnt so time for plan b. Now Bernie Sanders is accused of splitting an already weak and fractured Democratic Party why we would risk this extraordinary opportunity by nominating somebody who has a tendency to divide their own side is beyond me furthermore sanders is accused of having views that just wont fly in a general election the face of the democratic policy might be sponsoring things thats absolutely nothing but your votes but this narrative doesnt seem to work either. So now Bernie Sanders is accused of being a russian plot to undermine american democracy this claim is repeated by other president ial candidates as well as Robert Obrien the National Security advisor and his sources are named though these reports that they want Bernie Sanders to get elected president thats no surprise he had a motive and moscow and it turns out that in fact Bernie Sanders once even visited russia you know years ago back when it was called the soviet union yeah thats pretty old news scraping the barrel lets go on to plan b. Time to unite behind joe candidates are dropping out perhaps a bit prematurely and putting their Energy Behind joe biden does come up a little bit and i dont know whats happened bernie i think good trying to take it away from i dont know if thats fair but i guess its politics when you get right down to it whats fair why throw in the towel so early well theyve got to do everything in their power to defeat Bernie Sanders in 2016 leaked emails revealed by wiki leaks show that the d. N. C. Went guns blazing to end his bid for the white house now will they be so lucky the 2nd time caleb mop and archie new york my colleague you know neal spoke to new York City Council hopeful. She thinks the Democratic Partys National Committee is doing all it can to stop centers. Democrats everybody falls in line they line up so perfectly everybody. You know froze their way to support by so you know that in that respect you sort of see how you know the Democratic Party is her coalescing and micromanaging every way that they can support biden. And you know i see it you know Bernie Sanders he said the system was rigged you can see how its being rigged against him former democratic chair donna brazil got into a Heated Exchange after a suggestion that the Democratic Convention would be rigged against we can listen together to just what was said hello of our race i get sick and tired and for people to use russian talking points to Sell Division among americans that is stupid so rather go to hell that is completely absurd i mean this is the same donna brazil who would pass the questions to Hillary Clinton so hillary would have you know an unfair advantage in the debates against foreign santer so i mean that this is completely absurd that its actually really really infuriating because what it is is. You know its really the Democratic Party trying to cover their tracks and really not so well in the fact that theyre really working against you know Bernie Sanders who really is essentially you know a real contender and possibly the front runner. The number of corona virus cases globally has exceeded 100000 and at least government has now put its northern provinces on lockdown in a bid to contain the spread of the outbreak in the country a new mattress cover an area which is home to iran a quarter of italys population living anyone from leaving or entering the region unless were under furball work means or emergency situations now as you can see the typically busy streets of one of the italys tourist mecca are almost empty. With the number of confirmed coronavirus cases rising by 1200 in a single day most Public Events are banned across the country until early april. Meanwhile in the south east of china 10 people have been killed and 38 rescued after a hotel collapsed according to local media the venue was being used as a quarantine site for suspected patients 23 people are still trapped under the rubble its still not clear at this point what led to the collapse. And as a nation scramble to stem the spread of coronavirus here in russia there are so far 17 confirmed cases dozens are in quarantine and under medical observation. Has been through 2 weeks of self isolation at home following a trip to hong kong he told us what the experience was like and about the other measures russia is taking to keep infection at bay. One of the things you quickly realize as a bearded man is you just look silly in a face mask but this is my only 7 year from hong kong my trip to hong kong and i was only there for a few days while i was there there were hardly any infections or in the weeks since but coming back to moscow the medics here really didnt care so youre treated like anyone else and our 1st taste of what was to come was still on the plane when a lady came aboard and this is while we were still in the plane having landed she took all our measurements are temperatures and she was in full has mackin so we walked past passport control into the baggage area and there were dozens and dozens of medics in full hazmat get covered head to toe taking down everything about us what we did who we were with where we were this is all part of a huge russian effort to make sure that the 1000 virus didnt gain a foothold here the monitoring of the epidemy illogical situation was organized from the initial days of this complex situation additional measures were taken to strengthen sanitary and quarantine control at checkpoints across the russian border over the past 24 hours 3 cases of corona virus infection have been identified in russia all these individuals have visited italy in the last 2 weeks at present a total of 17 cases of corona virus infection have been identified in russia. When they 1st mentioned quarantine i thought would be like a mini vacation you get to sit at home as it turns out it isnt at all so you have called throughout the day starting in the morning for medics ask you how youre feeling whether any symptoms cough or whatever you also get visited by police and medics just to check up with you to make sure that you are still at home i mean eventually out of sheer boredom are pawns of the. Quarantine agreement that i side of the airport and the battle ts are pretty severe so for example if if you leave the house to go to the shop which you can and you just leave and nothing nothing happens well that starts a 5 potentially Community Service if you leave the house or apartment the Quarantine Zone and you unfed someone adds up to a year in jail a year in jail if you infect someone and they go on to die that is up to 5 years in prison which is a pretty severe punishment. A lot of fear i would say panic would around the world and in russia as well which is which isnt being helped by the fact that theres a lot of misinformation misleading information on the internet for example one russian sub Security Company for example has identified a message being repeated online that is spreading misinformation there are people out the you know enjoying this. Lana good evening i have some bad news there really want to save the people i care about i beg you to spread this information as much as possible if our thora g. s do not want to inform us about this well have to inform each other about this leaked information there are 20000 patients with corona virus in moscow walk with masks dont go to crowded places take care of each other and stock up on food unfortunately its sad that shops will be empty this information is more than reliable. The end of the day its just common sense to follow advice that you read on the internet and read it for example follow device that you hear from doctors job wash your hands regularly dont touch your face as a bit of personal advice that i can give you if youve got a trip lined up in the immediate future to a place where theres been without break dont go the quarantine isnt worth it. This sunday the world has been Marking International womens day thousands gathered to take part in marches to champion whats been achieved but also what still needs to be done to promote equality. As you can see clashes broke out between marchers and police in the turkish city of istanbul rights activists gathered to condemn violence demand equality and what they said was the oppression against women in the country that rally however was not authorized by the authorities there just like the year before in 2001000 marchers still chose to gather but were met with tear gas and right. Right. Right right right i. Mean all demonstrators in several french cities took to the streets on womens day organizers said the parades were to promote equality and human patient joining me in paris march through the center of the city holding banners against violence and sexism towards women. And mass men disrupted a womens day rally in the Central Asian republic of kurdistan tearing down the banners of the protesters those marching had been demanding support for women and childrens rights in the country as well as protesting against Domestic Violence there authorities claim they arrested the men along with some of the women demonstrating but local media reports claim it was mostly women detained at the rally it was not authorized. Following 6 hours of high stakes negotiations in moscow this thursday the leaders of russia and turkey have agreed on a cease fire in syrias war torn province they back opposing sides in the conflict which has brought them close to direct confrontation. And you listen to this group but you know i mean we dont always agree without turkish partners in our evaluation of the situation in syria but critical moments having high level by that through relations weve always managed to find Common Ground on controversial issues and have found Acceptable Solutions huge is sought at midnight beginning on the 6th of march a cease fire will be implemented in aid we will take all necessary steps to ensure it lasts our goal is to do Everything Possible to prevent the humanitarian situation from deteriorating in the region the leaders also agreed to set up a 12 kilometer long security corridor or 6 kilometers north and 6 kilometers south of serious quay and for motorway to run through the area the 2 countries also agree to start joint patrols along the highway there executive director of the Ron Paul Peace Institute told r. T. Its in the interests of both moscow and to ensure the cease fire holds. We should all breathe a sigh of relief because truly russia and turkey were on the brink of direct conflict it was careening out of control and i think it was very wise to have called this bilateral meeting to hammer it out because there are the danger of it actually adding into war and possibly including nato was very real the whole issue of the of the war torn in the province is not that different in the war torn aleppo province which amazingly settled down once it was liberated from the from the control of jihad ists of extremists of al qaida and thats the exact same thing in italy a province the important thing is that the m 4 in an m 5 highways will be open up thats important to certainly to russia into syria but lets also remember the air to want is having some problems back home theres a huge brawl in the Parliament Just yesterday with 2 with the parties fighting each other the opposition parties are not thrilled that everyone has essentially embedded Turkish Military forces with al qaida to serve as human shields to prevent the syrians from retaking their own territory hes gone way out on a ledge and i think hes finding himself at the end of his political rope perhaps. As the impassioned climate activism of the swedish team got a ton brick continues to inspire millions of young people around the world it seems resistance to a movement is also growing 1000 year old you tube and i am as i hope it has shocked popularity in recent months for her advocacy of what she calls climate realism she denounces environmental alarmism and in the process has been dubbed the anti gretta we spoke to them about why she decided to weigh in on the debate and what shes hoping to achieve. Most people on the site of climate alarmism if you will label us the climate deniers and that is a term that i really dislike because it sounds like we really look into the science we dont do our research we just hate the planet we just wanted to strike this and were just selfish and ignorant and thats not what were about were about being scientific skeptics and looking into more sensible yet ways to improve the environment and to be more in line with our values when it comes to interacting with nature and so yeah thats what climate realism is about its about scientific skepticism and having more discussions in the scientific sphere it was a german media outlet that started this thing in the 1st place and it was to. Portray me as kind of this evil antichrist on the left on the right and i really just like that but then i thought lets just have fun with it and lets just explain this label and well if the media wants to portray us antigraft of them go ahead but you dont state for the antigravity if you stay for the night you come for the antigraft and you can stay for the night on me because i am not against top i think she is probably individual innocent in all of this and i dont have anything against her its just that she is not about the science shes basically just about panic and telling people to change their lives entirely i demanded that government control the lives of all of the people. And that i believe has nothing to do with science and skepticism anymore and thats really whats so awful about all of this thats our breakdown of just some of the biggest headlines from the past week thanks for telling it. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often very Dramatic Development only really going to exist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. The world is driven by shaped by one person those. Things. We dare to ask. Him on welcome to worlds apart as a Great American boxer muhammad ali one sad he who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life and from being a key member of the mit Blackjack Team to investing in promising migrant interpreters risk averse is one thing that my guest today absolutely is not but what is a risk and how do you know if its worth taking well to discuss that im now joined by simone de a russian american investor a businessman turned and calculate.
