S. President so far 10 moderate democrats unite and deal a blow to Bernie Sanders and could billionaire Michael Bloomberg plate a sports illustrated. Landmark its great to have your Company Every once in a sign of solidarity with great syrup in Union Leaders have headed to greece. Border with turkey today to discuss a solution to this latest phase of the migration crisis emergency meeting was called by greek Prime Minister kiriakou miso talk is whos accused turkey of encouraging migrants to head for the greek border onkar said over the weekend it would no longer stop migrants in its territory from from trying to enter the European Union while the head of the European Commission vonder Alliance Says its the duty of europe as a whole to protect greeces border those who seek to test europes unity will be disappointed we will hold the line and our unity will prevail now is the time for concerted action and cool halves and acting based on our values turkey is not an enemy and people are not just means to reach a goal we would all do well to remember both in the days to come i think greece for being our european speedup in these times. And that was a volunteer a lion a speaking moments ago and with speed up the e. U. Commission president was using the greek word for shield to think greece for its role as you border state well there is so much to discuss want to take you straight now to max sander who was at the press conference of the e. U. Commission chief what jumped out at you when max. As you said it already laid out this was a strong show of support a strong show of European Solidarity here we had the president s of the european institutions united together with the greek Prime Minister meets attack us with one message greece europe is by your side essentially. There was no criticism of chriss handing of the issue over the last couple of days no criticism of the alleged excessive use of force at the border or the illegal pushbacks but praise for how greece is taking care of the matter for the rest of the European Union. The the press conference for the president of the commission present on the line did not have a political sustainable solution that you presented here today but she said that the commission the European Union which would do all that it can to help greece in its situation right now and essentially strengthen the european borders and she will do that by deploying a Rapid Response team by the european risk through Border Protection if she frontex this includes aircraft ships and personnel and roughly 700000000 euros in Financial Aid but im wondering though max will this be enough for the people in greece will these proposals placate the greek leadership which has been warning brussels for a very long time to take turkeys threats of opening the borders seriously i mean is it too little too late. While the greeks are worried and this reminds them of the situation in 2015 when when millions of refugees made their way through greece over the balkans to central to Central Europe most people here support the tough stance of the greek Prime Minister. And will support the show of solidary show of unity by the european leaders especially here on the islands of greece weve seen the situation deteriorate over the last couple years 5 more than 50000. Im stuck on the ins right now and this solution is not really going to help them but for people here in mainland greece who see migrants at their borders waiting to come to cross into the mainland this might calm them down for now all right well lets take a listen actually now to greek of pride to the greek Prime Minister because he commented on the growing crisis at the countrys a border with turkey that youve been reporting on lets take a listen to what he said greece expects tangible sort of verity from the European Union and i can tell you the presence of the entire european leadership here at the altar borders of the union sends a clear signal to everyone but lets be honest europe has not been up to the task of dealing with a migration crisis i hope this crisis will serve as a wake up call for everyone to assume their responsibilities. A wake up call max under is how the greek Prime Minister characterized it. Yes thats right a wakeup call. I mean i spoke about the 2015 crisis and 2061 year later the e. U. And turkey put in place this deal a provisionary measure to deal with with the influx of migrants to the European Union now this deal is going into the 5th year and this was supposed to be a provisionary measure and its within these last 4 years no tangible solution no sustainable solution could be agreed on between the e. U. Member states and no relocation scheme of migrants who came to greece and to the rest of the european Member States and know a common strategy to deal with the people who might might still come and Prime Minister his was still the hinting at some of the the Member States who are who he say and who are not really pulling their weight in the matter who refused to take in migrants who refused to participate in finding a a tangible solution out max and a reporting out for you at the greek at circus suborder thank you very much for your continued coverage. All of us a closer look now at the situation on the border and the desperate situation many refugees have endured so far thousands of them have made their way to the turkish town of arrogance there but as this next report is about to show theyve landed in limbo unable to cross into greece and out of any options. Migrants make their way through fields heading towards the greek border searching for a way to cross to the other side earlier Turkish Security forces at the official border crossings stopped letting people through those migrants forced to turn back are angry. But let is you know we were shown on t. V. How turkey was idling its borders and told we could go to the a you we were expecting compassion but we got the opposite the greeks treated us like animals. The Greek Military has repeatedly used tear gas to disperse crowds of migrants some responded by throwing stones at the Border Guards the tension is escalating the turkish president to one says turkey is sticking by its decision. Should be a couple or since we opened our gates weve been getting one call after another theyre saying close your borders we say no weve made our decision. Many families are now camping out along the every us river on the border several afghans tell us that groups of migrants were driven here for free in buses provided by Turkish Police in istanbul many used rubber boats to make it across to the greek side they said greek soldiers took their money and their mobile phones and brought them back to turkey. Also have no idea what the place is doing a whats happening between turkey in europe we dont deserve to be treated like this were people too so on this here on the turkish side of the border anger and frustration is growing one migrant says everyone is aiming a weapon towards europe and using the people here as ammunition. All right lets take you now to the turkish side of the Turkish Border are a correspondingly hot is tracking that story for you from there and she can bring us the latest from there youll hear though many migrants are still camped out behind you i can see them there just describe to us their situation. Well right now theyre basically getting ready for another night here outside in the open its pretty cold at night here so people start lighting a fire theyve set up a makeshift shelter here and most of the people here i think a about 100 maybe 200 people most of them of families with small children weve just seen a truck coming with a some of the kids i dont know if you can see them theyre just running all all over the place a truck came here and was distributing blankets but as you can imagine staying outside at night a blanket is not enough many people tell us they do not have enough to eat they do not have enough to drink they do not have access to toilets and sanitation so their situation here is very difficult but many people at the same time told us they are determined to stay here for more days even months although a lot of people have criticized mr heir to juan for weaponize this very desperate situation of these people that you have just been reporting on he has pledged that he will send all these people towards europe is he really prepared to do that. Well you have to understand where thats coming from prison and one says International Support of the crisis in syria is it live where his forces are fighting Syrian Regime forces weve seen deadly clashes that he wants International Support he wants an international no fly zone and he wants to ramp up pressure on europe so they share burdens with him they help him they support him in hosting all these refugees turkey has taken in nearly 4000000 refugees in the past year due to the prices in syria an add on repeatedly said he cant host anymore now he kind of acted upon these threats so many people here tell us that theyre moving here to the border has been facilitated by the turkish authorities so the big question is now what happens next right are these people going to stay are many of them going to stay or are they tired and will they go back will the turkish authorities let them go back or will they encourage maybe more people to come here until the European Union you know reacts in the way taki one some to react are you leon are reporting from the turkish side of the Turkish Border thank you very much.
