Whether precaution is giving way to panic plus 3rd times the charm israelis cast their votes for a 3rd time in less than a year will they break the political deadlock between Prime Minister netanyahu and his main challenger by the gods. Marcus great to have you along everyone a border battle and a humanitarian crisis along the European Unions eastern border have intensified thousands of migrants are trying to make their way from turkey into greece since the turkish government opened its borders to the e. U. But greece is pushing back athens is suspending asylum applications for one month saying it will turn back anyone who enters the country illegally this footage released by the. Turkish authorities shows the greek coast guard turning away a boat sealed with migrants. And earlier we spoke to our correspondent Julie Holland in istanbul and she told us what she made of that footage a word of caution here because this footage is coming from the turkish authorities and they clearly have a political interest right now sharing such videos but then again greek Border Guards the coast guard they clearly have orders off absolutely not tolerating any illegal crossings they have fired tear gas at people and one Border Crossing where ive just been in the past days if used water cannon and i also got some information today that i think is worrying its coming from local producers in the area from fellow journalists and they said some refugees on a boat have reached out to them and these refugees said that they were intercepted stopped by the grae coast guard the guards then jumped into their boat took off the engine of the boat and dumped the engine into the water and then they pushed this boat back to the Turkish Coast these refugees they were terrified because they couldnt make it to the coast without. A motor in an engine in their boat so they were trying and get some help in the end somebody called the Turkish Coast guard and coast guard and they came they help the refugees this is the stuff being and you know if confirmed these illegal pushbacks at border they would be a violation of human rights and of refugee law. Helion there are reporting earlier well as weve seen greece has become the front line in this new chapter of the migration crisis listicle close a look now at those tensions on the greek border with turkey and how the e. U. Is planning to respond. They shout peace from the turkish side of the border. Grieco 30 say they stopped almost 10000 attempted crossings over a 24 hour period. They fired tear gas to disperse the crowds gathering at the border fences the migrants can hit a message from greek border across the river. Its not a command thats likely to be obeyed. Well keep waiting here because we left our homes those of us who have homes whatever things to sell got money for them so they could get out if we have to go back we will have to sleep in the streets. What can we do were stuck here we cant go back home well i. On sunday some groups tried a hazardous route across the river ever us with some success greece accuses ankara of organizing a campaign to push people through the greek turkish border. This migrant from cameroon waded across the river to reach greece she says shed been told to leave turkey and along with refugees from syria she was taken by pass from istanbul to the turkish border. More syria. Really is. No. Good. But greek police who are waiting on the other side. On tuesday european leaders are going to assess the situation for themselves. Tomorrow that representatives of the 3 european institutions the pallium and the council and the commission that is president sali president ial michelle and me were going to get there to greece to show the full support of the European Union as i said the challenge greece is facing is a european challenge and we have our full support. With migrants stuck in a no mans land the pressure is on for politicians to find a way out of the stalemate. And i bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. Japan says its working closely with the u. S. And south korea after north korea fired 2 short range missiles into its eastern sea all the launches were the 1st since november and travel the distance of around 250 kilometers south korea says its on guard for additional missile tests. A hostage taking incident at a Shopping Mall in the philippines has ended peacefully a group of people has been freed unharmed and their captor has surrendered to authorities all thats according to the local mayor police say the hostage taker is a disk or until the Security Guard earlier he shot and injured one man. Now to the koran a virus which continues to spread around the world the virus has now infected nearly 90000 people worldwide killing more than 3000 in italy the worst country in europe Officials Say the number of people infected has jumped to over 2000 and here in germany the number of cases has shot up to nearly 130 is more on how germans are dealing with the threat of covert 19. Germany and the corona virus in a big city like berlin the infectious agent might be lurking anywhere invisible to the naked eye but potentially deadly. So far theres no sign of widespread panic here all that anyone up with you cant protect yourself from it completely but if you follow a few basic rules then hopefully itll pass you by but still its worrying hes pitiful although it wasnt the shift. I just try to follow hygiene rules and wash my hands i also try to teach this to my pupils thats it really. A person hates time worried about it sure i read the newspapers and listen to the radio you do have to stay on the alert my. Own instinct is to i think its really being played up ok it is dangerous a few people are getting sick. But theyve had only mild cases. With the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in berlin Risk Research or get Good Governance or has some clear advice. And sponsors relax or try to avoid dying the things you probably will die of. What its unfortunately just up to us is that would be things such as the ordinary case of flu smoking or people you see on the street in their car who insist on using their smartphone while driving. But its not always behaves rationally especially when it comes to shopping. A few people have started panic buying staples such as canned goods and pasta and especially cleansers and disinfectants. So the shelves might be picked clean. Unusual for germany. Because under especially in our supermarkets in the section for hygiene articles where the soap and disinfectants are weve had shortages some items have sold out and it is also here. The constant reports on the radio t. V. And other media play a part where suspected cases and deaths are tallied up. But the 3 say it creates the impression that its the biggest problem we have its not. Thats because typically in day out it was really it was a lot harder this is missed. Although the extent of the coronavirus epidemic is hard to assess for now panic wont count. Voting is underway in israels 3rd election within a year well as the countrys tries to end a political impasse once again polls show conservative Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu in a tight race with center left Opposition Leader benny gantz well in the previous 2 elections neither side won enough seats to form a government but with voter fatigue sitting in many hope the 3rd times a charm. He needs all the votes he can get fears of a corona Virus Outbreak could put a dent in turnout but israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is urging people to head to the polls anyway go vote go vote its a produce this is a democracy you have a great right that you should exercise with confidence the thing is completely under control today weve taken all the precautions that are necessary people can go and vote with complete confidence thank you its not just the virus that could make people stay home analysts say voter fatigue has set in this is israels 3rd election in 11 months and support has splintered among many parties netanyahu has popularity has waned after corruption charges were brought against him in november his likud party is projected to claim only a quarter of seats in Parliament Polls put him in a virtual tie with his center left rival benny gantz. Its about time to be much more united much more was one another unless the ones against the other one group hoping to make gains is the joint list an alliance of arab israeli parties theyve taken heart from recent polls. Young today of we will make history. We have at least 15 seats and were getting close to 16 seats with everyones efforts. Yes our votes the votes of the joint list are the ones that will prevent Benyamin Netanyahu from forming a government and the joint list is the one that will make history at the. Netanyahu may yet come out slightly ahead but with no hope for a clear majority his conservative party is bracing for more Coalition Talks and perhaps more deadlock the consequence was less around 3 for israels elections lets get you the latest time yet cramer did a correspondent is standing by in jerusalem tiny a wonderful to see what are the chances that this election right now will break israels a political deadlock. Well i think its going to be a very interesting election evening because up until election day today all the polls have shown a neck and neck race in the last states a slight advantage for Benyamin Netanyahu but also a neck and neck race between the 2 blocs because he is or you look mainly the religious right wing blogs that by the likud party in Benjamin Netanyahu and the. Center left bloc led by many guns and this blue and White Alliance this is what we will be looking at both have been complaining in the past weeks and months but it has been a very fatigued come pain but i have to say voter turnout got some think is during the day slightly higher than in september so i think its very least really want to see an end to this deadlock theres a lot of impatience you know to see that there will be a new Coalition Government being formed after this election and tell your Prime Minister and netanyahu is about to stand trial on corruption charges how much of a role does that play in the voters minds. Well i think you have to come see i mean there are those who say this is impossible for a Prime Minister to sit in a court to stand trial and at the same time to be a Prime Minister and those are many people i think who would go and vote you know for the opposition for blue and white there are also some people within the liquid party but theyre not such a strong voice yet but of course they have a lot of supporters that are. For Prime Minister netanyahu the acting Prime Minister there saying like he said this is all of a child and this is you know due to the hostile media. Law enforcement and theyre saying all these allegations are not true so they will be definitely voting for him no matter what our idea of a correspondent a tiny kramer thank you so much for your continued coverage and that does it for me only allow rock and roll im going to hand you over now to my colleague and for you and who has business in africa headlines that lined up for you and asked you to look good.
