As we were trying to film we were stopped this my cameraman being schooled. By looks like a military person out. There live from new center in moscow this wednesday evening is kevin owen here for the next 30 minutes so he can stick around as well and take you through the headlines as reported from russia tonight starting with the race for the white house over the states latest on the Michael Bloomberg has announced hes ending his run for democratic 2020 president ial nominee after suffering a wipeout in super tuesday voting the billionaire and former new york mayor has now thrown his support behind joe biden who made a stunning comeback in the biggest contest in the partys primaries. For say the kaleb real pivotal day of voting on the field of candidates is narrowing as expected take us through what happened and. Indeed after a poor showing on super tuesday when 14 different us states voted in the president ial primary Michael Bloomberg seems to be ending his campaign now this is after spending roughly half a 1000000000. 00 on his president ial campaign the most expensive primary campaign in the history of the United States and many looked on and saw the amount of money bloomberg was spending the fact that he had advertisements on the super bowl and on many different places just the ads were popping up all over social media etc then joked about it but many also worry that it d appeared almost that Michael Bloomberg was attempting to buy the democratic nomination lets take a listen. To bloomberg. We. 1 see not at all look your docket up your selection was. Now limburg certainly had his detractors donald trump was known for criticizing bloomberg for his height calling him mini mike many others in the democratic camp were critical of his policies when he was the new york city mayor they pointed out issues like Police Brutality stop and frisk that took place under his administration furthermore revelations about sexism and activities in his businesses and some of the culture of Sexual Harassment when he worked in the business sector in the private sector that was pointed out as well and at this point as hes dropped out it seems like hes giving his supporters a message this is what he had to say. 3 months ago on into the race for president to if you dont know trump today im leaving the race for the same reason to do if you dont know trump because it is clear to me that staying in would make it shooting the more difficult now Mike Bloomberg followed the pattern of other recent drop outs of the democratic primary putting all his weight behind joe biden take a listen. I am ending my campaign and endorsing joe biden in the im looking for a president who will draw out what is best in each of us and im encouraging everybody whos part of my complaint to join me because we have found a leader in Vice President soon to be President Joe Biden march 3rd. 2020. I will be casting my ballot for joe biden in the now at this point weve got many figures in the democratic establishment lining up behind it jill biden many observers are viewing this as a sensually an effort to defeat and stop Bernie Sanders the upsurge of support for Bernie Sanders is seen as a threat to the Democratic Party establishment lets take a review of the efforts to defeat Bernie Sanders. Its been a long winter for the democrats theyve been feeling the cold burn oh you know we know you are you live oh i was there to hear your driver was 43. Years with no one that it was but now as the spring rolls in the party has descended into panic i think its a little late to stop and i think thats the problem the game it is pretty much over a reading last night about the fall of france in the summer of 1940 and then general reno cause of churchill and says its over can either coronavirus or Bernie Sanders be stopped totally transform society with firing squads dungeons torture and exile so hes been pretty clear thats what he supports morning 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 if castro and the in the rich had won the cold war there would be executions in such a 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 nature of cuba but you know its unfair to simply say everything is but you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a Massive Literacy Program is not a bad think 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 enough a dog and i can see it forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people but issue of money lets talk about his Literacy Program but most millennial 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 spouting things thats absolutely nothing but you know votes 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 there these reports that they want Bernie Sanders to get elected president thats no surprise he honeymoon and 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 barely i think theyre trying to take it away from him 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 guns blazing to end his bid for the white house now will they be so lucky the 2nd time caleb mop and r. T. New york lets get the view from charlottesville talk to jim clucks there the Libertarian NationalCommittee Member thank you for the time so there is a saying is the money come buy you love it so this is be the case in Michael Bloomberg. Instance anyway 500000000 spent but he did so badly could you see it coming well occasionally my i do have decent vision and i think in this case the answer is yes mayor bloomberg a lot shall we say interesting interesting piles of. Debatable material lurking behind him from his from his service as mayor and the fact he also is incredibly wealthy hes entered the process hes really not been involved in building the Democratic Party its really was not that surprising to me that he was not able to build d or to use his millions to build real support in the Democratic Party yes so the voters didnt get it and what about the supporters in the Democratic Party it seems they didnt buy it either despite the considerable financial backing that hes got his own wealth thats thats correct the Democratic Party is composed of many constituencies and i really dont know that there were too many people in any of those constituencies that really felt Mike Bloomberg was the right man to be president the United States. There are reports the Democratic Party officials have been putting pressure on bloomberg to draw an indoor spied and by that i would not be surprised i think most Democratic Party officials particularly those elected officials their biggest concern is not actually defeating donald trump its making sure that they stay reelected this is why i think so many people in the Democratic Party were really concerned about senator sanders being the nominee its its not just that he would not be able to defeat donald trump but that he might cause severe reaction among voters with many of the down ticket democratic candidates. And a really bad night for his support for what went wrong for her. Well my opinion she was just not good enough she didnt really inspire people and also when when the the items that she articulated many of her programs frankly she just didnt provide much in the way of justification she didnt really tell people how she was going to pay for some of her programs and i guess i give voters a little bit more credit than many commentators do i think voters actually do Pay Attention on occasion and they do want real answers and i dont know that senator warner was warren was able to provide them so Bernie Sanders lets talk about him hed say his amount of the paper looks like hes going to do well in california that would be a big boost for him but behind the scenes he and his supporters looking at whats happened on super tuesday would they be quite happy oh quite disappointed about the showing why i think theyll be quite disappointed because it gave if they had realized substantial victories particularly in several Southern States i think it would have served as a splendid springboard that would have made it very difficult d for anyone to catch him and i i cant believe that they look upon this as anything other than a major turning point it doesnt mean that senator sanders cant win the nomination but he now has what i would think is pretty much united part of the moderate what if what you can call the moderate faction of the Democratic Party that is united against him and they seem to be coalescing around a Vice President biden weve only got 5 seconds go and give me a name who do things going to get through the end. Joe biden dr jim clark for Libertarian National committee thank you thank you for coming on live on Arts International have a good day sir. My pleasure thank you. There are supposed to be a path towards peace between the u. S. And the taliban right now but its all unraveling this wednesday washington has conducted an airstrike against the Islamist Group in Afghanistans Helmand province of her series of deadly taliban attacks overnight which killed more than 20 Afghan Soldiers and Police Officers and all with the ink barely dry in that peace accord roof and across developments. A historic peace deal we heard that will pave the way to peace and prosperity in afghanistan we heard it took 19 years to come to this point and of course needless to say the world expected a lot plus just hours before donald trump was on the phone call with the talibans leader and the groups chief negotiator but a 35 minute conversation and here i can agree of truly historic moment a direct contact between a u. S. Leader and his senior taliban official heres donald trump talking about we had a very good conversation with the leader of the taliban today. Theyre looking to get this and were looking to get it and we had a good long conversation today you know they want to seize the violence and now we see the u. S. Responding with an airstrike that they present as a move of self defense unclear why since the taliban never attacked the americans so that is agreement include they will draw all of u. S. Troops and its nato allies from afghanistan there are still 12000. 00 around 12000 soldiers and officers stationed in afghanistan and that is seen as a positive move by so many as a trust Building Measure as they said the taliban was promised to see 5000 common Political Prisoners released promised by who by washington so what basically happened is that washington promised something it cannot guarantee and plus it has 0 authority to do the result if get a government does not seem to agree. There is no commitment to release 5000. 00 prisoners i have shared this with dr colleagues this is the right and the decision of the people of afghanistan they have requested it it could be included in the agenda of the interim afghan talks but it cannot be a prerequisite for talks. It sounds like a person from a parallel reality you know another world and you have to remember that the again a crisis is a very complex one there are many sides involved and what is desperately needed for peace and prosperity is to see all these parties involved on the same page and this is by the way something that most that has been trying to do so many times bringing all these parties including the government the tally byrne to more to seat and talk and discuss you know the agreement so most group also was very happy to see this you know finally historic peace deal and dont trump was not the only one this peace deal was praised as a victorious one this is really. Interesting because. So they really mean this is where we are this is for peace on the ground. So what we can see is that the situation on the ground in afghanistan is getting more and more dramatic its a skill late in the violence is escalating and if this is a victory i dont know what the defeat should look like. Middle east expert in journalist risks thinks the Afghan Government might leverage the attacks to its advantage in the. I think it is very undermining i think to the final recall if you would lawyer when it comes to deal making the president trying trying to strew politics not on being a deal maker but actually i think that he has attempted to make up a lot just might be that there are divisions within not and those who are against just agreement went ahead with these attacks in order to sabotage any possible progress which could have been made up until now the talks have been forecast on america with the taliban extruding are going to go up and that very much angered the atlanta government so i think that we are learning government now will also take the opportunity to criticize and. Not be trusted and also you have many government look elsewhere others maybe to play a more Important Role in the art that it produces be it russia be a china beauty iran because as i said the american metropolis trenchant has proven that it. Would be should while in going there are any progress in the situation and. Try to track in next whats happening on the greece turkey border clashes a broken there were greek police using tear gas and stun grenades to drive back Asylum Seekers attempt to cross into the e. U. According to turkish officials the latest is that one person was killed and 5 others wounded by live fire from the greek side in athens is fiercely denied thousands of displaced people been amassing along the border after turkey said it would no longer prevent refugees attempting to head to new a greaser said it will turn back migrants attempt to cross its borders illegally and a suspended asylum applications for a month are to charlotte you belsky drove along the border on tuesday night to see the desperation of those stuck in the impasse. Come further down south was still on the greek side of the border with turkey when a town called ferries i just want you to get a sense all of the action thats happening all around us. 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 we know that since saturday more than 24000 people have attempted to cross the border but were hoping to speak to the local mad to find out how he in this town are going to deal with it.
