No signs of easing up south koreas president declares war on the corner fires his country has the 2nd highest number of inspections after china and seoul just reported a record surge in new cases plus a super tuesday showdown is the biggest day yet in the race for the u. S. Democratic president ial nomination can moderate democrats unite and deal a blow to front runner Bernie Sanders and will billionaire Michael Bloomberg be a spoiler. And why hawk is great to have you along everyone in a sign of solidarity with Greece European Union leaders have headed to greeces border with turkey to discuss a solution to this latest phase of the migration crisis. Well the emergency meeting was called by greek Prime Minister heriot consummate so talk us whos accused turkey of encouraging migrants to head through the greek border said over the weekend it would no longer stop migrants in its territory from trying to enter the e. U. The head of the European Commission or is a law 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 turkeys not an enemy and people 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 speed up rather is a greek word for shields of the e. U. Commission president there was essentially a thinking greece for its a role as an e. U. Border state well lots to unpack lets take you now to max zander who has been tracking the developments on the greek side of the greek Turkish Border im actually what jumped out at you from mr van de lyons a message to greece. Well you actually said it already this was a strong show of solidarity. The leaders of the european institutions came together with the. Greek Prime MinisterKenyatta Smith attack us and they brought one common message and that is greece youre doing the right thing europe is behind you there was no criticism of greeks handling of the situation here at the border of the last couple days no criticism of the allege excessive use of force or the illegal pushback by the rather there was praise and that is because the e. U. Relies on greece to protect its external borders and thats why it was enough on the line and now its that the European Union would step up its support to protect the greek borders by sending a Rapid Deployment team by frontex that is the European BorderProtection Agency and this includes vessels this includes airplanes and personnel as well as a roughly 700000000. 00 euro zone Financial Aid now at max the greek Prime Minister its attack us also commented on the growing crisis add his countrys a border with turkey lets take a listen to what he said earlier today greece expects tangible sort of verity from the European Union and i can tell you the presence of the entire european leadership europe 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 my question crisis i hope this crisis will serve as a wake up call for everyone to assume their responsibilities. A wake up call max is what the Prime Minister said will the proposals by the e. U. Commission chiefs of an ally in placate the greek government which lets be honest has been warning brussels to take turkeys threats to opening the border seriously for years. Well you have to and you have to know that ever since the beginning of the refugee crisis in 2015 greece did not feel that they were being helped by the other e. U. Member states people here in greece as well as politicians leadership feel abandoned by the rest of the European Union so this step to step in and help protecting the greek and the European Borders with with additional manpower this could be seen as a 1st important step but this is no long Term Solution this is no sustainable solution to the problem and this is what greek leaders will be looking for as a next step now at max sound of reporting from the greek a Turkish Border thank you very much. Lets take 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 a deer and wits of that but as this next report shows theyve landed in limbo unable to cross into greece and out of 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. About let is you know we were shown on t. V. How turkey was i being its borders i told we could go to the e. U. 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. Says turkey is sticking by its decision. Should the 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 the 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 had no idea what the place a doing a whats happening between turkey in europe we dont deserve to be treated like this with people. 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. Many migrants is still camped out so behind you i can see them there i mean 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 so people start lighting a fire theyve set up a makeshift shelter here and most of the people here are they about 100 maybe 200 people most of them of families with small children weve just seen a truck coming with aid some of the kids i dont know if you can see them theyre just running 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 in 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 11 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 crisis is in syria an ad 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 stem to react are youll yohan our reporting from the turkish side of the greek Turkish Border thank you very much.

S. Now where millions of people are casting ballots in the countrys super tuesday primaries democratic president ial candidate joe biden has received a big boost ahead of todays vote better or Wark Amy Clover shahr and peabody judge have all dropped out of the race and endorsed the former Vice President while mr biden is one of 5 candidates still in the running for the democratic nomination so whats unique about super tuesday it is the most important voting day so far because 14 states will be holding primaries and over the system the more votes a candidate gets the more delegates there awarded and the states with the most democratic delegates up for grabs are california with 450 and texas with 228 well by the end of super tuesday it may become clear who has the best shot at clinching the democratic president ial nomination while perhaps no other candidate has been banking on a super tuesday success more than this man here right behind me Michael Bloomberg its the 1st time the billionaire former new york see. The mayor is on the primary ballot hes hoping an impressive delegate hall today might have to pull tim into contention for the nomination while mr bloomberg has already spent more than half a 1000000000. 00 of his own fortune on his campaign well the gamble pay off. Mike bloomberg at one of his rare rallies in Houston Texas here the former new york mayor is presenting himself as the only candidate who can stop donald trump so if you want someone who talks turkey and who has a record of accomplishments on all the big issues facing our country country and if you want somebody has the resources to beat trump thats made. Of Mike Bloomberg resources in other words his wealth is a controversial topic among voters while some say his money makes him independent others say the billionaire wants to buy the election. Were essentially in the middle of a Political Science experiment we dont know how this is going to turn out no one has ever thrown this much money at a primary before i dont see that hes trying to buy the election hes using his resources to make a difference for america i say that he cant be bought is really what that means a nation divided by an age of control president Mike Bloomberg is running and im president did lee expensive come payne he has spent 300000000. 00 on t. V. Ads he doesnt accept donations relying instead on his own fortune brings people together that means hes outspend President Trump in 2016 but up about 66000000. 00 of his personal money on his campaign and his democratic rivals Mike Bloomberg spent already twice as much as Bernie Sanders and joe biden combined. Thanks to his money Mike Bloomberg seems to be everywhere he has balled 1500000 facebook ads and even paid ordinary people to post messages supporting him on their profiles the mayor bloomers naca charm and hes not going to make you fall in love with this policy ideas but his aunts are thing to behold wonderfully produced the best visuals the best audio hes good at making commercials can he persuade voters that commercials are enough i dont think so. Super tuesday Mike Bloomberg is on the ballot for the 1st time this primary season some polls put him among the top 3 candidates for now it seems like his big spending has paid off. And now to another election israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu appears to be holding on to a solid lead over his main rival with most votes counted after mondays parliamentary election but it also appears that his the could party and its allies are likely to fall short of a parliamentary majority to form a Government Official results are expected later today. This is the night of the giant victory. Netanyahu is victorious until 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 slander is were spread against us and me personally they thought i would get frightened they thought i would blink and im telling you i did not and i will not. Netanyahu supporters were pleasantly surprised. By
