This hour puts its northern provinces on lockdown amid the growing a Virus Outbreak with the streets of tourist mecca. And coping with russia. Describes his 2 weeks in the nation on the trip to hong kong. When they 1st mentioned. As it turns out it is and. Live from moscow thanks for joining us in the weekly on r. T. International Daniel Hawkins with you tonight welcome to the program. And greece says its prevented around 39000. 00 Asylum Seekers from crossing into the e. U. From turkey the situation escalates that offer no longer on a deal on migration. Oh a little bit of. America 7 0. I. Always got that one to the greek territory has been arrested. And in my mind this is me go the way of entering one country. On thursday turkey announced the deployment of a 1000 Additional Police officers to the border to stop greece driving back the Asylum Seekers moderates a continuing to try and cross the spine tear gas being fired from both sides and athens using water kind of greece has said it will turn back all those attempting to cross illegally and has suspended a sot up locations for a month r. T. Shot at the risk you drove along the border to see the impact the crisis is having. Come further down south we 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 Office and it looks like people are gathering here in the anticipation of going to war to 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 them he wasnt here 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 tension in fact one guy said to me you can see. 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 it stance and contribute to send a strong message to turkey the largest political policies of previous years that these people to enter our country without carrying any permits or documents would have a very big mistake and created issues of inequality greece is not it is european country but europe should support it because until now greece is not going supported weve left the town the whole that 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 that they believe 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 that we have to turn around we cant go any further. Far out from ferris we spoke the greek call 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 at the 2 Illegal Immigrants trying to cross the mood where 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 the greek food and the affair is a video showing the migrants camped out on the poor. As we were trying to film. We were stopped this my cameraman being scooped it up by well like a military person out to the border. So just an update on that situation all thats been smooth but we have moved away from the border because of see 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 were 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 or some furious i mean hes blamed turkey for the crisis are now demanding brussels and cooperation with the neighbor. This is again a good lesson for us to European Union and 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 does the other gun just wants more money from us and this has to stop infinity is clear that. Are not a reliable partner and so i think that the e. U. Should keep the interim council because i think that your piano sex cavil lost a lot of money i mean in my view would be an appropriate response for the e. U. To suspend the e. U. Turkish Customs Union with immediate effect. And. We may well be demanding this in the not too distant future. Once all the news are super tuesday its a major day for primary elections and caucuses in the u. S. Has cut the number of candidates in the democratic race for the president ial nomination with 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 biden the move seen as a bid to undermine sanders. Im ending my campaign and endorsing joe biden i endorse joe biden and i hope you will join me im delighted to endorse and support joe biden for president. I have decided that i and with great enthusiasm going to endorse joe biden for president of the United States there is a. Strong. But its not a secret that anybody in this room or the corporate 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 to get one go on to make their final selection of a candidate. Put his judgment on one of the most states saw him as a new look for states to bond and attend one of his victories california has the most delegates kind of open breaks down what he saw in those 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 in the lobby. That it was but now as the spring rolls in the party has descended into panic i think its a little late to stop them 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 the general run no closer to churchill and says its over can either coronavirus or Bernie Sanders be stopped totally transform society firing squads dungeons torture and exile so hes been pretty clear thats what he supports money 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 that castro and the reds had won the cold war there were the 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 the chair of cuba but you know you could its unfair to simply say everything is bad you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a Massive Literacy Program is not a bad thing after 4 years of looking on in horror as trump cozied up to dictators. 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 it 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 millenniums 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 anathema to your voters 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 moment to 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 d. 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 early i think theyre 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 and 2016 leaked emails revealed by wiki leaks show that the d. N. C. Went in guns blazing to end his bid for the white house now will they be so lucky the 2nd time caleb mop and are to new york michael did you know neil spoke to new York City Council hopeful monny how she thinks the democratic qualities National Committee use the. Democrats everybody falls in line they line up so perfectly everybody drops out. And you know throws their way to support biden so you know in 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 wouldnt be rigged against sunders 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 so 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 and 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 essentially you know a real contender and possibly the front runner. The sunday the world has been Marking International womens day thousands gathered to take on the march as the champion what she believes so what still is done the former policy clashes broke out between marchers and police in the turkish city of istanbul rights activists gathered to condemn violence them on equality and what they said was the oppression against women in the country running however wasnt authorized.

Size in one of italys main Tourist Attractions milan as the coronavirus scares the usual swarms of tourists away from the streets he tells coming your way after the break. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us from the world of public. For business im show business ill see you then. The world is driven by a dream shaped by. The deranged thinks. We fear him to ask. Russia and turkey negotiate deescalation regarding what is next for syria also the coronavirus is a time to start rethinking the impact of globalization. Youre back with us the number of coronavirus cases globally has exceeded 100000 that hes government has now put its northern provinces on lockdown in a bid to contain the spread of the outbreak in the country with a new measures cover an area which is home to around a quarter of a population banning anyone leaving or interim the region unless for on the federal work or emergency situations as you can see on the screen the simply busy streets of water with a nice tourist mecca are almost empty the number of confirmed coronavirus cases has risen what 1200 in a single day the most Public Events across the country until early april. I mean while in the southeast of china 10 people have been killed 38 rescued after a hotel collapsed according to local media the venue was being used as a quarantine for suspected coronavirus patients 23 people are still trapped under the rubble and its not clear at this point exactly what led to the collapse. Now as nations scramble to stem the spread of grown a virus here in russia there are so far 17 confirmed cases dozens are in quarantine and under medical observation arties morag as the earth has been through 2 weeks of self isolation at home following a trip to hong kong you told us what the experience was like and about the other measures russia is taking to keep the 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 should be near 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 you treated like anyone else and our 1st taste of what was to come was still in the play 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 had 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 and fed 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 was identified the 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 coronavirus 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 followed by that you hear from doctors jabal wash your hands regularly dont judge of age. 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 an outbreak. The quarantine isnt worth it. Now as the impassioned climate activism of the swedish Team Gratitude continues to inspire millions of young people around the world it seems resistance to her movement is also growing the 19 year old you tube or no has shocked the 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 grettir or we spoke to an army 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 dont really look into the science we dont do our research we just hate the planet and 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 spirit 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 play in this label and well if the media wants to portray us antigraft of them go ahead but you dont state for the antigravity you stay for the naomis act you come for the antigraft or you can stay for the night because i am not against it up i think she is probably a super nice 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. Investor symond look at shawn worlds apart would seem annoyed about in 40 minutes with the latest global news outlet. So you stand up as a nation from which says something to us and investors. I say to them out for free youve got bored of the truck them food for. Your mom my parents you know to try to. I was. Upset. Because the global world d was going to have to close to this needs it in your voice you just of us have played up us moving the spotlight. And you fighting with the left or come out. On the left coast approach and thats focused on much because in the south. John welcome to worlds apart as the Great American boxer muhammad ali once said 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. A russian american investor a businessman and calculated risk taker good to see you thank you very much for coming over thanks for having me now as i was preparing for this conversation reading the articles about you listening to some of your previous interviews i caught myself humming. Face to face our then behaved hang tough saying hungry. Have you ever associated to yourself with that song eye of the tiger. The reason i imagine it is because it was 1st of all number one single indian ited states for 6 consecutive weeks soon after your most of the United States or your parents read more broadly i thought that it kind of depicts. How you relate to risk and adversity is this real love defied the kick that you seem to get out of uncertainty am i wrong here it has always been the case with you or did you have to foster. The government a thrill seeker i think im a grown up with them let you block took him probably helped me available at the risk part of the enough to actually do a challenge of building things i like things kind of difficult but its not like grist for the sake of for us going the way that lets say a war correspondent who actually seeks out conflict and then sure. Its an interesting observation that you just made because you were introduced to reese pretty earlier on not as some blind you know dark im sick or im no one but actually calculate to build probability and. Many people especially in this country tend to fear risk more they tend to fear they fear more and they risk
