A minister is not shaking hands with anyone as the country moves to lay down the best practices for keeping the virus effect. And it is super tuesday in the u. S. President ial campaign and a key test for the democratic frontrunner Bernie Sanders we have to california to find out what issues are important to latino voters in americas most populous state. And exit polls show Benjamin Netanyahu slid cooed party and its allies will fall short of a parliamentary majority more on israels 3rd in line in less than. Im brian thomas great to have you with us for the show today. The use chief executive was left on the line is heading to the border between greece and turkey today where a new chapter in europes migration crisis is unfolding thousands of refugees have been heading to the greek border that after turkey said over the weekend it would no longer stop migrants in its territory from trying to enter the you bring Security Officials have been using tear gas and force to keep them out. Repelled at sea turkey released this footage of the coastal city of bodrum Authorities Say it shows a greek coast guard pushing back a boat filled with migrants its one of the tactics we call thirtys are using after turkey opened its border allowing migrants to try and enter the e. U. Greece says it has stopped almost 10000. 00 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 creek or to authorities across the river telling them to go back the borders are closed. Its not a command thats likely to be obeyed. Well keep waiting here because we left our homes those of us who had homes whoever 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 bus from istanbul to the Turkish Border. More syria. Is. No one. But greek police were waiting on the other side. German chancellor Angela Merkel criticized turkish president rejects at the one the u. S. And the migrants as political pawns. In this thing given all the understanding and willingness to provide more support. I think its totally unacceptable to deal with this at the expense of migrants so its off to me theyve been encouraged to go to the border only to end up at a dead end. And our policy and the policy of the e. U. Turkey deal is not aimed at conducting politics at the migrants expense with the definition of political some of them. With migrants stuck in a no mans land the pressure is on for politicians to find a way out of the stalemate. Lets go now to do the abuse mark song or hes on the greek side of the turkish greek border good morning to you max can you tell us where you are and whats happening where you are this morning. Yes brian im at the customs checkpoint in custody hes on the the greek side of the greek Turkish Border its relatively quiet right here where im standing right now but just a few 100 meters behind me there there is a real human humanitarian crisis and unfolding as we speak with roughly 13000 people according to i. O. M. Who are sitting there stuck there waiting to be able to cross into the European Union. Right now we see a heightened military presence trucks going in going out with a soldier is and replenishments and so there is a were looking at a massive military force there trying to stay on top of the situation ok can you tell us something more about that security situation the greek government says that this border will remain closed. This. Prime minister meant to talk as has had this border would remain close and that is a very difficult and very challenging task them the land border between greece and turkey is massive its roughly 200 kilometers separated by a river some places with thick vegetation so its a its a very its a very difficult task when you drive along the highway. Next to the border you see military convoys especially in the Morning Hours where there have been some attempted crossings by migrants of the last couple days of military trying to stay on top of the situation there and greece also has announced to intensify its its its efforts its military efforts here to send more soldiers into the region and also has called on the European BorderProtection Agency frontex to send reinforcements and they have committed to do so within the next 5 days officers from frontex will arrive here and within the next 10 days well be looking at vehicles planes and that sort of equipment to be delivered to the borders max a lot of this a buildup that you just mentioned as we see groups of migrants trying to force their way through the border as we have over the past few days are you get. Sense of how Greek Security forces and these e. U. Forces frontex would respond should that continue. Well one thing is obvious is that the greeks are really trying theyre trying very hard to stay on top of the situation keep the borders closed not let any people in. The greek Prime Ministers Office announce that over the weekend roughly a 1000 people were stopped at the borders trying to cross from turkey to greece and sent back to to turkey. Also the promises office announced that greece would step up its deterrence at the borders to a maximum and how thats playing out we can see at the moment military has announced that they will were. Would undertake exercises all along the border and the islands using live ammunition essentially to show people here in greece that they are that they are doing something that they are strong but also to to scare migrants and also. Other things videos are circulating on twitter that we have seen which allegedly show. A syrian man who was allegedly shot by grieco border Border Guards and greek authorities claim this is false propaganda by turkey but then theres also other videos of greek coast guard for example happening yesterday. Trying to. Intimidate a rubber boats trying to cross to 2 to the greek islands shooting into the water beating passengers with with with with canes so there is its quite aggressive behavior max thanks so much for that from across the knees on the greek side of the turkish greek border. Well finance ministers and heads of Central Banks from the g 7 nations are to hold talks today on measures to reduce the impact of the coronavirus the number factions is on the rise around the world and the World Health Organization has said we are in quote charted territory although it also maintains that the outbreak can still be contained to told number infections worldwide it is now at over 90000 nearly 5000 of those cases are in south korea it is the 2nd hardest hit country after China Worldwide more than 3000 people have now died officials in italy it is the worst hit country in europe say the number of deaths has jumped from 34 to 52 however the number of patients who have recovered from the trauma virus worldwide that is at more than 48000 well 3 cases of the coronavirus have been recorded here in berlin as the number of new infections increases in Germany Public Health officials are stressing the need for regular hand washing for example is one way to stop the virus from spreading theyre also telling people to avoid handshakes but that for some here in berlin is proving a hard habit to break. The window of opportunity for containing the corona virus is narrowing and shaking hands for some is now out of the question even german chancellor ill go america whats politely put in phatic we refused by her interior minister. The virus has spread to 18 of the 27 e. U. Countries the bloc center for disease prevention and control announced further action he said the cia has announced to date that the risk level has risen from moderate to high for people in the European Union in other with the virus continues to spread italy is the epicenter of the european fight against the outbreak its record of the most cases in the e. U. And the most deaths in the capital room lines for tourist hot spots are unusually short the response has been on film wearing a protective mask but we went. More than 60 countries have now reported cases and in iran the most serious outbreak outside of china continues impacting daily life and shaking the countrys already struggling economy. Much more you know we have no choice but to be open i have commitments and i have bank checks to clear i know many others who are in a similar situation who are supposed to take care of our checks and debts if we stay home with. The impact on the irans economy is an extreme case the o. E. C. D. Slashed its Global Growth forecast for this year by half a percent to 2. 4 percent the worst performance since the 2008 financial crisis. Its to the us now where theres been another boost for the democratic president ial candidate joe biden for macand that its better well roark Amy Klobuchar char and have all been endorsing biden that ahead of todays key slate of primaries farmers and caucuses are how both democrats and republicans nominate their president ial candidates theres little doubt that trump will of course win the republican nomination but joe biden is only one of 5 candidates still in the running for the democratic nomination. So whats so unique about super 10 tuesday well its the most important of all primaries because people in 14 states in the u. S. Will be voting under the system the more votes a candidate gets the more delegates will be awarded and the states with the most democratic delegates up for grabs are california with 415 delegates and this state of texas with 228 now by the end of super tuesday it should become clear who the democratic president ial nominee will be california has americas biggest latino population which gives them a voice in deciding which democrat will run against donald trump the w. s always on or phenomena traveled to los angeles to see which issues are energizing latino voters there. On the air with a mando guayana producer with k w k w a latino Radio Station in los angeles sports not politics is his passion but this tuesday armando says many latinos just like emo are eager to get out and. Theyre looking for a good leader theyre looking for somebody that theyre going to give you confidence theyre going to gave them. For. Their own leaving most over latino as we leave chick to paycheck to paycheck. President Donald Trumps policies and treachery disturb many that he feels they all are hoping for a candidate who can replace him. As soon as california moved its primary to super tuesday it was clear latino it would be crucial in choosing the democrats president ial nominee they represent roughly a 3rd of the states eligible voters and their influence is growing. At a rally in Downtown Los Angeles county fornia super tuesday speaker price. Its 415. 00 delegates no wonder the candidates are campaigning today that must mean these are these senators supporters he seems to be the most successful candidate in reaching out to latinos both sides. I think you just talked to a lot of people that are like did not believe the franchise by the means by. Big corporations and special interests whether its Big Oil Big Pharma the gun industry and are essentially creating our policy with their money and what green anderson doing is trying to sneak the power away from the big corporations and give it back to the people like on people are struggling right now people are falling into homelessness for the 1st time in their lives because rents are too high. Housing homes guarantee candidate like Center Centers and i believe that we need to invest in mass Public Housing off to the wealthy at leos tackle a popular place in the neighborhood we need christian iran upload a c. Direct to the Latino Community foundation whose goal it is to make sure that every single latino can vote hes hoping for a high turnout on super tuesday not the most have been traumatized living under the Top Administration you know if you look at the child separation crisis he tried to end the doco program i feel like latinos in this particular action arse are seeing this as a moment to really fight back and actually stand up to whats happening in our country today. And super tuesday seems like an important 1st step to bring about a change. Earlier i spoke with did abuse washington correspondent stuff on simones i asked him if the californias latinos think that theyll be better off economically with a president Bernie Sanders or sanders can make this that is one of the top prices all of us 74. 00 however. The democratic. Elites saying that whatever he promises to immigrants or to latino voters latino democrat voters in california he would never ever be able to fulfill those promises but for now youre absolutely right send us live strong in california joe biden. To the country strong in texas so this going to be interesting with both of them it is isnt it and the stop bernie push inside the Democratic Party right now is rallying around joe biden is there any way to say who has the edge right now. Ed chess Joe Biden Joe biden had a tremendous 48 hours 3. Acknowledgments and now the support they dont rule amy. As you have said and that is of course just 24 hours before super tuesday and guess where this happens in texas on states just a few hours ago and thats of course all for a reason so all eyes are on joe biden just remember just a few days ago before saturday joe bidens campaign was basically written off then he wins South Carolina boom now hes back Vice President showing up strong on all networks in the United States and wants to capitalize on the momentum his gather and the as you said democrats core elites the classic democrats are reading around biden right now ok we can forget stuff on billionaire Mike Bloomberg still out there hes piling on the cash and plenty of it in his bid to get the nomination what role is he playing in this super tuesday vote. Yeah i wish i could answer that question you have right Michael Bloomberg mayor of new york is the wild card here the x. Factor if you want to know what he actually knows how he will perform he will be the 1st time this will be the 1st time that bloomberg is actually on the ballot so nobody has an inkling or indicate what would have happened if he would have been on the ballots voting ballots at the polls in states who already have voted so all d eyes are so to speak also on on him because nobody can really gauge. Making of substantial dent into the count for biden and for sanders briefly if you could stuff on undecided voters always key in us like since which democratic candidate do you think would attract the most voters against donald trump. My bets are on joe biden because he is for a majority of those undecided independent voters probably the most electable democrats more electable than. Bernie sanders or Elizabeth Warren or Michael Bloomberg but ive been wrong before so keep that well we will know more today stefan thanks so much for that from washington lets get you briefed down some of the other stories making news today flooding caused by heavy rain has killed at least 4 people and affected hundreds of others in rio de janeiro. Brazil in the west the city dwellers dragway cars water and mud levels above one meter flooding homes and businesses. Chiles president has threatened to reimpose a state of emergency as antigovernment protests mentum there violent clashes at the capital santiago again monday since october the south American Country has seen protests over economic inequality and the high cost of living. In israel exit polls indicate that Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu holds a solid lead over his main rival in mondays parliamentary election but it also appears that his likud party and its allies are likely to fall short of a parliamentary majority official results are expected later today. So. This is the night of the giant victory. Netanyahu is victorious and so exit polls were announced it wasnt clear whether his alliance of parties would get the most votes his opponent benny gantz leader of the centrist alliance did not concede defeat but he didnt sound that upbeat we saw the lowest campaign in the history of israel where many lies and slanders were spread against us and me personally they thought i would get frightened they thought i would link and im telling you i did not and i will not. Netanyahu supporters were pleasantly surprised. Thinks a story like. That. Its likely netanyahu will be given a chance to form a coalition for an historic 5th term but its unclear exactly how hell break the deadlock this election was called after he tried and failed to get enough support last time around netanyahu campaigned in the shadow of a looming corruption trial which is due to start in 2 weeks his victory to cement his reputation as israels most durable of politicians. For more lets bring in Alexandra Goff store if hes a member of the german bunds dog from the business friendly free democrats and hes also chair of the german Israeli Parliamentary Friendship Group good morning and thanks so much for coming in today its looking Benjamin Netanyahu could well be putting together a new right wing Israeli Government what would a new netanyahu government mean for german israeli relations. German israeli relations traditionally transcend. Politics so for they are so much anchored in history the shared responsibility for the security of the state of israel. I think that needs to be said 1st the 2nd. Removed sort of consideration however. Ok as as a close ally and friend of israel as you mentioned what issues do you think germany should be focusing on with israel after this election. Well i think that the israeli relationship is one that is rooted in a deep friendship number one number 2 there are issues particularly on Economic Cooperation where germany can learn a lot from israel israel is an extremely dynamic start up nation is extremely strong when it comes to research and Development Many german Large Companies have Offices Research centers in israel i think that is one of the fields in which our corporations going to intensify and then of course military cooperation is going to be an issue because german and israeli Israeli Armed forces a cooperative particularly our forces ok there are of course difficult issues as well for example the status of jewish settlements in the west bank continues to be very controversial verse you know what approach should the German Government take when it comes to this. Well i think the German Government as all of the European Union should maintain a perspective for a viable palestinian state at the end of the Peace Process and therefore criticizing the settlements which are clearly contradicting International Law will continue to be heard here in berlin and brussels and other International Capitals and particularly if as is now talked about the area each one east of jerusalem will become the place of a new settlement this is going to ruffle many feathers this is going to be a difficult situation for the palestinians and for the Peace Process overall so i think we will hear some criticism concerning the settlements alexander golf stuff member of the german bund star chair of the german Israeli Parliamentary Friendship Group as well thanks so much for coming in today thank you. Now to the secret documents that experts hope will shed a new light on europe starkest era for the 1st time the vatican as open as archives dealing with the wartime papacy of pius the twelves critics have blasted parsons quote at least pope for remaining silent during the holocaust is the founders though say he was navigating nearly impossible circumstances and that the church went to Great Lengths to protect and save thousands of jews.

Showing the murder of jews in Eastern Europe when you wouldnt know its most different in the photographs percent to the church and more than forwarded to the cardinals faith secretary this was in 1943 that means they had visual proof of what was happening.
