A sense. As we were trying to film we just stopped. Being schooled. By. Broadcast studios in moscow this is our International Thomas certainly glad to have you with us now former u. S. Vice President Joe Biden has taken the reins of the democrats candidate race for the 2020 election he is now the front runner after a stunning comeback on socalled super tuesday biden won 10 of the 14 states up for grabs while progressive senator Bernie Sanders acclaimed for including california the state with the most delegates following super tuesday polls biden is now the clear leader in what has fast become a 2 man race but some of his earlier decisions could be coming back to haunt him after 2 u. S. Veterans confronted by over his support of the iraq war. Want to die. But it really. Was the wrong. Time i. Was relieved by signs it was. 7 going to ask me. You know are oh yes we are and. You did do it meanwhile Michael Bloomberg has announced he is ending his run for the democratic 2020 president ial nomination after suffering a wipe out in super tuesday voting the billionaire and former new york mayor has now thrown his support behind joe biden breaking down the developments here is hard to kill him up. 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 appeared almost that Michael Bloomberg was attempting to buy the democratic nomination lets take a listen. To mayor bloomberg. We. See an oligarchy your docket up gardner selected bloomberg certainly had his detractors donald trump was known for criticizing bloomberg for his height calling him mini mike many others and the democratic camp are 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 out of 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 i entered the race for president to do if you dont know trump to day 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 that go more difficult Mike Bloomberg followed the pattern of other recent drop outs of the democratic primary putting all his weight by. Joe biden take a listen i am ending my campaign and endorsing joe biden i. I am looking for a president who will draw out what is best in each of us and im encouraging everybody whos part of my campaign to join me because we have found a leader in Vice President soon to be President Joe Biden now at this point weve got many figures in the democratic establishment or lining up behind 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 i think there was theres certainly been a concerted effort as far as i can tell by what we could call moderates in the Democratic Party to try to find a candidate behind whom they can unite and that was the that would be Vice President bidens so i would be very surprised if pressure had not been brought to bear on on both the jazz club char and bloomberg to get out of the race i think most Democratic Party officials so quickly 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 d with many of the down ticket democratic candidates. While joe biden was propelled into pole position on super tuesday senator Elizabeth Warrens campaign was dealt a crippling blow she failed to place in the top 2 in any of the 14 voting states and is under pressure from Bernie Sanders supporters to drop out of the competition to avoid splitting the present vote President Trump couldnt resist taking a dig either. So selfish for Elizabeth Warren to stay in the race she has 0 chance of even coming close to winning but hurts bernie badly so much for that wonderful liberal friendship will he ever speak to her again she cost him massachusetts and came into it he shouldnt war and disappointment will likely be compounded by the fact that she finished a distant 3rd in her home state of massachusetts supporters of Bernie Sanders claiming that her decision to stay in the race cost of the selfstyled democratic socialist victories in 3. 00 states and bigger wins in several others they have also pointed out parallels with the 2016 race in which warren accused of the green party is of helping to sway the election in Donald Trumps favor anything you do that helps donald trump get one inch closer to the white house is a danger charl of us vote 1st time moves donald trump closer to the white house would love to see the venn diagram of people who are still mad at jill stein for being a spoiler in 2016 and those now insisting the war and wont be helping by the name she stays in the race for the record if youre blaming warren for tonights results maybe you should reconsider your defense of voting for joe stein if a vote for jewel stein in 2016 was a vote for trump then a vote for war and today is a vote for joe biden sorry i didnt make the rules he spoke to political analysts to john mobarak about the democratic battle who described Elizabeth Warrens fall from grace as karma for her earlier comments about the green party. I guess for Elizabeth Warren is this kind of karma but what we see that is the general chaos in the in the Democratic Party is quite clear that the democratic establishment or they have a plan in their plan is to. Is to advance a socalled centrist and thats exactly what they did coming out of South Carolina the use of bidens win to South Carolina to to create momentum and to encourage that and i think colin and amy 2 from minnesota to drop out so that all of the far it can be directed toward Bernie Sanders and a little bit want to play the role in that by state in the race completely devastated Michael Bloomberg but she also undermined Bernie Sanders but the 4 of the focus really should just be on Elizabeth Warren the focus should be on the kind of machinations coming from the Democratic Party to try to. Undermine Bernie Sanders because we all know it is anybody but bury. Their supposed to be a path towards peace between the u. S. And the taliban right now but that appears to be unraveling this wednesday washington has conducted an airstrike against the Islamist Group in Afghanistans Helmand province after a series of deadly taliban attacks overnight which killed more than 20 Afghan Soldiers and Police Officers and all with the barely dry on a peace accord that has more if national is across developments force. A historic peace deal we heard that will pave the way to peace and prosperity and of getting stung 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 little trump was on a 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 and. They want to seize the violence and now we see the u. S. Responding with an airstrike that they present as a move of selfdefense unclear why since the taliban never attacked the americans that it is agreement include they will draw all of u. S. Troops and its nato allies from afghanistan there are still 12000 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. 00 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 your authority to do the result if getting 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 for a parallel reality you know another one. World then 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 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. Really really really. Really really mean this is are we this is for. You. So what we can see is that the situation on the ground in afghanistan is get more and more dramatic its a skill late in the violence is escalating and if this is a victory i dont know what a defeat should look like. Millys to expert and journalist ali risk thinks the Afghan Government might leverage the attacks to its advantage but i think it is very undermining i think that this adds to the final recall if you would learn when it comes to do making a president from trying to strew part bigger deal maker but actually i think that all it will see as attempted to make a remark just might be that there are divisions within the taliban and that those who are against disagreement went ahead with these attacks in order to sabotage any possible progress which could have been made up until now it looks a bit forecasts on america with the taliban extruding are going to go up and then theyre very much anger at the up not in government so i think that we are learning a government now oh well also take the opportunity to criticize it this. Can not be trusted and also the uk many government will look elsewhere for others maybe to play a more Important Role in the art that it produces be it russia be a china beauty iran because thats what i said the american metropolis strange and has proven that its. How big should oil in bring about any progress in the situation. The. Clashes have broken out at a border between greece and turkey with greek police using tear gas and stun grenades to drive back Asylum Seekers attempting to cross into the e. U. According to turkish officials one person was killed and 5 others wounded by a live fire from the greek side a claim that athens has fiercely denied well thousands of displaced people have been massing along the border after a trip he said that it would no longer prevent refugees from attempting to head to europe greece has said that it will turn back migrants attempting to cross its borders illegally and has suspended asylum applications for a month or 2 strode to been ski drove along the border on tuesday night to see the impact the crisis is having. Come further down south was still on the greek so i did the border with turkey where no town called fairies and i just want you to get a sense of the action thats happening all around us were just outside the town hall the local Mayors Office and it looks like people are gathering here in the anticipation of going to wards 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 so we didnt get to speak to them he wasnt hit tonight but we did get to speak to many of the people who were taking part in that they sachin and they all seemed to be pretty tense knew the mood was full of tension in fact one guy said to me you can feel it. Everybody is here tonight because we want to help greece protect its borders from any kind of illegal migration we see people from bangladesh afghanistan anywhere from places that have nothing to do with war and they come to our country essentially the e. U. We think europe should change its stance and contribute to send a strong message to turkey the largest political policies of previous years that these people to enter our country without carrying any permit documents would have a very big mistake and created issues of inequality greece is not alone it is european country but europe should support it because until now greece is not going supported weve left the town the whole now were driving out towards the front here in the hope of getting a sense of whats going to happen. Overnight to get a sense of what this human chain to protect the greek borders from anybody trying to cross illegally its going to be a line so were just coming up to a checkpoint. Where theyre stopping us. Yes us. Right now used to be. We have to turn around ok so were being told we have to turn around we cant go any further. Not far out from ferris we spoke the greek on me in what looks like Illegal Migrants on this side of the road. Weve had a chat with the offices they said we cant film but they have confirmed that they found the 2 Illegal Immigrants trying to cross the software we are in the square plant behind and they told just 2 individuals from afghanistan to receive an update from the volunteers who are not securing the greek food and the affair is a video showing the migrants camped out on the border. As we were trying to film. We were stopped this my cameraman being scooped it up by. Ministry personnel troops the border. So just an update on that situation all thats been smooth but we have moved away from the border because of see we dont want to create more tension with the security personnel that are there but it gives you a sense of how much tension there is here given the fact that the volunteers are out willing to be in the middle of nowhere in the way to secure their borders the fact that we were told not to come anywhere near the border that the greek Prime Minister said this week that his country wouldnt be blackmailed by turkey and he said that they would do Everything Possible to stop an invasion of migrants crossing the border illegally and that is. We seeing in times like this that ability for people to take up their own and to go to the ball which is to push text grease for anybody trying to cross even ski artsy in ferris.
