R. T. Paris. Coronavirus crisis is posing unique difficulties for one of greeces smaller outlying islands one case is now being registered on less both which is host to a densely packed refugee camp where more than 20000. 00 the living often dire conditions evangelos that has been speaking to some of the islanders. Im standing here in front of the refugee camp in the list reese were about 20000 refugees are held in an area that was initially built for 2000 people area its not the best when it comes down hygiene in the conditions are not the ideal for People Living in such a small area but now with the spread of coronavirus around the world a lot of the people are concerned he went around and speak to the locals to see what the had to say about a fear of a virus like that spreading among the cow. If it gets like will be doomed because the island only has one hospital it is good if they manage to isolate one or 2 of those infected with corona virus one of the feel unloved infection spread further you can imagine what will happen. With them there will be many issues and they will be big the virus is likely to spread very fast it will be maria thats affected but also mightily. His boss will be in trouble i have family on the island and of course im afraid we have our homes our jobs they say many bad things about us but it dealing with this issue but as the locals are raising concern about such a virus on the island. Ensuring that law thing of those cases have been confirmed here at camp but as we went around and we spoke to refugees swore living in this camp for many many years now they have a different opinion. A lot of people here you dont know we saw somebody told me that 2 people have it. Im sick but theyre not even treating me nobodys paying any attention on the virus who is already here even if you are in the hospital it does not help much because you cannot be cured you know i sleep in a container with people. Over defect is a rippling through the u. S. Election process to democratic president ial hopefuls joe biden and bernie song does go head to head on sunday in another round of debates though under serious restrictions not only is the debate being moved from arizona to washington there will also be no studio audience one of the moderators has also pulled out citing medical concerns of the candidates themselves saunders whos now behind biden on delegates so yes he isnt losing momentum. Donald trump must be defeated and i will do everything in my power to make that happens on sunday night in the 1st one on one debate of this campaign the American People will have the opportunity to see which candidate is best positioned to accomplish that goal now songs these losses being partly blamed on his own target voters many of whom believe their forces are no longer being heard kind of more pain explains the last day of democratic primary voting did not go too well for Bernie Sanders and now many voices are calling for him to drop out of the race and clear the road for joe biden however sander says he is not willing to give up 1 just yet now sanders says his campaign actually has the upper hand over his rival when it comes to the youth but it is not just the ideological debate. That the rest of the is with. We need the generational. One or 2 in the future you need to. Preserve the future oh country now the polls confirm what Bernie Sanders says young people like him more than they like joe biden and one of the goals of the Bernie Sanders campaign is to get them more involved in the electoral process but its not as easy as it sounds how weve been as successful as i would hope in Brigham Young people and the answer is no but why young people aged 20 to 35 approximately adds up to roughly 60 sand 1000000 people if they all signed up to vote sanders would have quite the edge but they havent done that turnout among Younger Voters remains comparatively low some blame the procedure for registering to vote for the 1st time for students who are going to school in another state registering to vote can get quite complicated some said that the Electoral College and the Party Primary process is very confusing and complicated and the quality of education on civic matters is quite low we decided to talk to some younger people here in new york city and find out why the numbers of young people going out to vote is so low did you vote in the last election now do you plan to vote in the upcoming primary vote maybe. Maybe Better Believe it why might you not vote. It just doesnt make sense that the publics opinion doesnt even matter when it comes to a president ial election now why do you think a lot of Young Americans dont vote. Cause it doesnt make any sense to close the mostly depends on the. People sometimes the lines are really long but. Not as long as adults do thats what younger people just either dont think its important as or so if people voting or they just. I know. Well i feel like a lot of them probably think that their vote doesnt make a difference as i hear from a lot of my friends who can vote so thats probably the devil is what happened last election as well i dont think they feel that their voices heard it is one of the reasons that i dont think that they really understand what a difference it makes in our democracy today are you going to vote for sanders or biden. San is to keep that to myself i guess i like both of them i go to. Buy the i think as a standard now is leaning more toward sanders now the Sanders Campaign has been reaching out to Younger Voters with catchy slogans and internet memes some say this could hurt him with older voters who dont like the resentful towner radicalism coming from the Sanders Campaign on the other hand its the Younger Generation struggling with historic levels of debt and lack of health care who have the most to gain or lose people in my age Group Younger and older than me like you want people like are working a lot or the rest school or or both they just dont have time for politics and theres also a lot of political apathy student debt but its also. Health care and its jobs theres a 3 main thing a lot of people in my generation in generations theres almost no future for us a lot of these people who might bite and just want to keep things the way they are all the old people the old generations they have their pensions they have this and that they dont see anything wrong with anything and i mean no i have to most people think that all the military actions that the u. S. Has done in the past 20 years has been justified thats just gives people you know to a lot of middle upper middle class liberal types bitin reminds them of things or everything was fine and back to normal even though for the one or more overwhelming majority of the population of the us things werent normal for people worst still strikes struggling to get by. Well tony sanders doesnt really drop out of the race the Democratic Party is in the fighting might risk losing crucial votes on american t. V. Pundits drew fire on the line for suggesting hed rather waste her vote than play along with the Party Establishment maneuvering against son. I dont think its terrible for progressives. To vote for trump i think thats nuts i would never do that i dont know for sure donald trump either but you can we let the line. Here we go crystal ball saying she will leave it blank in november what an absolute hack this is a really great example of why the privilege an action with all that on the line crystal ball one of the biggest grifters on the scene is using her platform to advocate for trumps reelection just wear a maggot hat and be done with it the behind the scenes though popper of playing out the Democratic Party has been a gift to a lot of the us News Coverage he was stirring suggestions that support the tsongas will only help trump get reelected before month unless his backers are digging in that work using his critics of being more than a little selfserving. I will absolutely not a forward for biden when they try to get into it by saying you must be privileged not to be impacted by transpower since remember theyre trying desperately to hang on to their privileges which they will never ever extend to you the d. N. C. May have just gone triumph reelected make no mistake of biden who is totally demented excites no one and has 0 good poses to offer is the Democratic Party candidate trying who win reelection all of these are Republican Party and russian hashtags dont buy into it theyre trying to prevent bareness supporters from supporting joe biden so the trump wins in an election he has no chance in legal media commentator lionel says that if saunders his supporters son Joe Biden Party leaders only have themselves to blame. There is a sizable faction and always has been all for the last 2 elections who supported Bernie Sanders who dont like the fact that Bernie Sanders has been shown hes been moved out of the way for the 2nd time in a row now theyre being told listen shut up vote for the party vote for us vote for vote how youre told to listen to your elders and what theyre doing is theyre saying wait a minute this is not my idea of voting remember the lesser of 2 evils is still evil they know theyre going to get screwed again and then you have other pundits who somehow have established themselves as being the voice to be the progressive activism or democrats who are saying no if you dont vote for joe biden you were levi a lady hero and theyre saying down with your old im voting my way thats whats happening.
