And his father from province their family members are among thousands of people who have fled their villages and settled on the border with turkey. When we were walking out of the village we were hit by ernest reich i lost my hand and i miss my home my school.

Its only a journey the length of a football field to cross the border from turkey to greece here but its an almost impossible one in a smugglers boat there is also a land border which these Syrian Refugees managed to cross a few days ago soon they were deported back to turkey they remain undeterred. The greek soldiers took our phones our money and our bags i went back to stumble fact that my bags and return to. This riverbank in the village of di ron has become a campground of hope these families look at the merchant river and see all the possibilities europe represent. Syrian refugees dia his wife and 3 Young Children have used branches donated blankets and tarps to build a shelter to shield against the unrelenting cold wind day and night for 4 days business that we need to take a threat im 34 years old and ive seen nothing good to me and maybe my children can see something good we need some space to see our future the Un Refugee Agency u. N. H. C. R. Says countries must not use excessive or disproportionate force against migrants they must process asylum applications in an orderly manner and the International Community needs to increase its support of turkey the country is home to almost 4000000 refugees 3. 7 of them are syria. A few kilometers away the European Council president and the greek Prime Minister visited the border we have not used the time wisely since the last migration crisis to address the situation effectively. Its about time that we do it now during 9 years of war syrians have heard similar pronouncements and promises from World Leaders before dia and other refugees weve been talking to tell us this isnt simply about turkey opening its borders to europe its about all countries changing their minds and welcoming them until then theyre determined to push their way in any way they can natasha going to. Die run on the border between turkey and greece in you has promised 777000000. 00 to support greece where they tens of thousands of refugees and migrants massed on its border with turkey top e. U. Officials made the pledge at their meeting with greeces Prime Minister who took him in a helicopter to show them the extent of the crisis European Commission president was left on a lie and says the e. U. Will not be divided the situation at our border is not only greece issue to manage it is a responsible responsibility of europe as a whole and we will manage it in an orderly way with your nitty solidarity and determination 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 hads and acting based on our values turkey is not an enemy and people are not just means to reach a goal tensions are growing between the greek authorities and refugees on the island of lesbos and as josie operas reports camps theyre struggling to cope. Police stop a group of afghan Asylum Seekers from boarding a ferry to athens a cat and mouse game that goes on all day at less boss passenger port some manage to climb over the port fence and chased out greek authorities are making it harder to leave the islands close to the Turkish Coast as a deterrent to more people coming over lesbos refugee camp at moria spirals out of all of groves services stretched to breaking point 14 year old little haile has come alone from afghanistan he says the taliban killed his grandfather and kidnapped his father his mother scrape together enough money to send him to europe he dreams of becoming an engineer but for 2 months he hasnt even been able to apply for asylum because they dont want to come to these 6. They want to close their doors. Well they wont let you apply yeah. They dont open the door for us. They are saying come to want to come to what did you tell the police yeah that you are on your own yeah yeah but they are saying i can do anything for you but the policy is even harder for those who arrived in the past few days people who arrived here as a result of turkeys open borders policy are being kept here in the port by the coast guard they are to be picked up by navy ships and taken to the mainland to be held in secure locations they will not be given a chance to apply for asylum because greece considers that they didnt cross over as free individuals but as part of a turkish state policy against europe the new turkish policy and political and economic pressures are driving more and more people to europe shores testing the balance between its desire to help them and its fear of being overwhelmed jumps at all plus aljazeera lesbos. Karen a man works at Doctors Without Borders and was previously the field cornetto for their operations on the greek island of lesbos she joins us now via skype from brussels thanks very much for being with us the e. U. Is now promised a lot more money for for greece on this issue how much difference you think itll make. How much difference that will make will depend very much on what exactly that money will be spent on so far and fortunately weve seen a lot of the response both from the greek government and from the European Union focusing a lot on protecting its borders weaponize in its borders and that is not something at this point that will help any of the refugees that are either arriving or that are already in greece and on the islands so what is definitely needed is additional humanitarian assistance when we say that the situation is at a breaking point you have to keep in mind that it has been at a breaking point for months and so what is happening in the last week is only lets see a culmination of the horrendous impact that these e. U. Turkey deal has been having for the last 4 years so what does greeces decision to suspend all asylum applications for months mean to those who are there at the moment. And so its very difficult to say what it will mean to people who are already on the island because theres many people also who are already on the island who says sign process had not yet started so its impossible for me to say at this stage what will happen to these people what we mainly know for them at the moment is that they have virtually no access to any kind of services because the services that were already enormously under pressure are now reduced almost to 0 because of insecurity on the island so the n. G. O. S dont have access to the camp anymore. And as was said previously as well as for the few hundreds of people because keep in mind we are talking about hundreds of people and at this moment we are not at all talking about the thousands that were arriving back in 2015. Are at the moment in the port of me to be me. Spending the night without any kind of shelter or without any kind of assistance see i mean you mentioned the political emphasis by the e. U. Being on kind of defending the borders what would you want to see them do about those who are on their way out of turkey other than i mean do you think that this is a big shift that needs to happen within the e. U. At the moment it doesnt appear that that is that is the case and then we had also from the lyon talking about united front from europe do you sense any kind of political will to deal with the situation in turkey and syria as well. I mean i find that it gives me a small bit of hope and i hear miss on the line saying that you feel that theres a responsibility of europe as a whole because i could not agree more and i think that is absolutely something that we have not seen up till now because also a lot of the protests that were now seeing in this because of people who are turning turning against refugees turning against humanitarians a small number of those are using violence which i will condemn in the in the strongest possible way but many people on the island or of lesbos are simply saying europe its enough and we cannot deal with this on our own anymore because it has been 5 years that this island of 80000 people has been dealing with this influx and the rest of europe basically looks at them and tells him well youre just a bit unlucky that you happen to geographically find yourself there so i can only support if when i hear that we want to have a unified European Response but i can also only hope that at this point european leaders can realize what is the real emergency because you really merge and see at this point is to evacuate people from those islands and to other European Countries to not keep these people stuck in greece which is a country that is already completely overwhelmed to set up an asylum system that actually works so i have met people in the ridiculously overcrowded camp of money or who had asylum interview scheduled in 3 years time so that means they are stuck there for several years and they really emergency remains the fact that people are stuck in these conditions kerry is the 1st thing to address carry on with them and thank you very much indeed thank you. He is President Donald Trump has held a phone call with one of the talibans leaders mona days off to america signed and a story deal with the armed group but theres anger inside afghanistan after the taliban ended a partial truce with Afghan Forces and taliban protesters took to the streets of kabul this time on forces carried out 33. 00 attacks on Afghan Security forces in 16 provinces in just 24 hours a reduction of violence has been observed in the week before the agreement with the u. S. Which will see Foreign Forces leave the country in 14 months we had a good juggler say sure weve agreed theres no violence we dont want violence well see what. Theyre doing with that data said but well see what happens we had actually a very good job with the leader of the taliban a White House Correspondent can me help it joins us live so to me how significant was this conversation the president trying to had with a taliban leader well its very significant but what was surprising about it is that we still havent had an official readout from the white house on this call in fact the way we found out of it with about it was somewhat by accident when the taliban tweeted out a picture of the taliban leaders gathered around a telephone then the questions started coming the white house eventually confirming through the president as you heard there as he was leaving the white house for another engagement saying there that in fact he believes that this was a positive conversation with the taliban leader as well that there is a desire to kind of end the violence but in the midst of all of this there are some real questions about the viability of that Historic Deal that of course aside over the weekend given the fact that the timeline those 14 months doesnt seem to be a viable timeline given the fact that we have seen this resumption in violence at the same time though u. S. President donald trump is projecting confidence. And commitment you mention the violence has been and what was the distinction here that this wasnt this wasnt against foreign troops and therefore it didnt break the agreement is that how theyre viewing it. Well you know its unclear how particularly theyre viewing this i think that each side has sort of different interpretation but there are some real sticking points to this deal and that is very obvious i mean weve heard from the u. S. Secretary of state mike palm pale that there needs to be in order for this deal to work a couple of things that need to happen number one there needs to be a cutting of ties with al qaeda by the taliban and there needs to be a sitting down with Afghan Government leaders but the taliban for its part is saying look at were not doing any of that until we have 5000 Prisoners Released now the agreement itself specifies a very Different Number 1000 so theres a real sticking points moving forward and then the midst of all of this as you point out there is the violence but again despite all of these challenges donald trump projecting confidence that this is moving forward but theres a reason he may be doing that you have to remember this was a big Campaign Promise for donald trump to poll the United States out of foreign wars that u. S. Election is going to happen before that 14 month timeline so conceivably it would be very easy for the president to say hes keeping that promise only to find out later on that might not be the case can be how to thank you very much indeed. Whats more still to come this hour more than a 1000000. 00 out of pocket not impeaching his most vocal critic he says the russian government has emptied his bank account to. Britain is brightest brainsick say theyre struggling to make a living forcing thousands of University Lecturers to go on strike across the u. K.

Returning to our top story global efforts to stop the spread of a new coronavirus David Malpass is the president of the World Bank Group which has Just Announced thats giving 12000000000. 00 in aid to help with the outbreak he joins us now from washington d. C. Thanks very much indeed for being with us on the program 12000000000. 00 how much of this is available immediately and what are the key priorities for spending a myth. Hello its available immediately as countries expressed their their needs and needs assessments are done so im hopeful that money will financing will become available quickly for the countries that are poor and most in need its critical at this point to limit the transmission of the disease and also to care for patients for for families for communities that are being hard hit and so thats the goal and we want to be fast in the response and one of the guidance on how to spend it because weve seen throughout this outbreak that Different Countries have done Different Things to take to prevent the spread becoming what to do or not. Not telling them what to do but asking them where they think they are and then also giving advice Technical Assistance and so we can give quite a bit of suggestions on things that they might want to look at buying in terms of goods and Services Also i think its important to think about the range of needs that countries might have its going to its going to differ among countries 11 of the goals is to have a brat of response so with many many countries participate and take measures it can reduce the transmission and we have the any city sort of west Case Scenario full cost yes they say now but it could have Global Growth if it continues in this and a particular way whats the world banks full cost. You know theres still lots to be known both about the with the economic effects that are ongoing but and also the health and transmission of facts so we havent made a forecast clearly theres theres a negative sizeable negative impact on the economy but what were focused on right now is taking action to do what we can to reduce the impact of the devastation has been highlighting today in particular the lack of medical equipment protective medical confer for Health Workers is that an area that you would even ask for help with. Yes some countries have have made requests and those and we work closely with b. H. O. And so thats the type of support that many countries need and will be able to provide through this financing technique weve seen the policymakers trying to say that they will be prepared to make a new change they need to see the u. S. Federal reserve cutting Interest Rates and those kind of things i mean how helpful are those kind of things in a situation like this. I think all measures types of measures can be held helpful at this point i think its critical to to address the health side of the of the equation also theyll very quickly begin to be the need for goods for for for example clean water is a critical element for for health in a lot of countries and thats thats going to be important so i i i want to support the range of efforts that countries are taking and encourage more at this point didnt help us president of the world bank thank you very much indeed taking time to talk to us happy to be on. The last patient being treated for a boner in democratic republic of congo has been discharged more than 2000 people have died in the 19 months outbreak the 2nd worst in history after the west africa epidemic which ended 4 years ago country is now gone 14 days without any new confirmed cases it has to wait another 28. 00 before the outbreak can be declared over. Discussions on who could form a Coalition Government to began in israel after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to win a majority with almost all of the votes counted his likud party and all with pledged rightwing allies are on course to win 59. 00 seats but thats too short a majority meaning support from other parties is needed to beat his main rival benny gantz it was the countrys 3rd general election within a year and there are concerns that could be again be heading for deadlock. The most important voting day in the u. S. Democratic president ial primary race is underway its super tuesday and millions of voters across 14 states and one u. S. Territory casting their ballots for the candidate they want to take on donald trump in november front runner Bernie Sanders is hoping to extend his need but his rival joe biden has had a boost after 2 candidates dropped out and threw their weight behind him i happen to believe deeply that if were going to defeat donald trump our campaign is the campaign to do that we have the Grassroots Movement all over this country up to now we have blocked out i believe some 2000000 doors all across this country from maine to california we are putting together a multigenerational Multiracial Movement of people who want to stay and we got put justice. These are the 14 states voting for democrat nominee along with American Samoa 13 of voting for a republican nominee or the donald trump has already sewn up that race with 1300 democrat delegates are up for grabs and theyll be assigned to candidates and sent to the Party Convention they should in the year when the winner will be crowned just on the 2000 delegates needed to win 2 of the states are among the biggest prizes available california selects 415. 00 delegates the most of any state texas has the 3rd largest total 228. 00 which will give much more clarity over which of the 5 contenders left is most likely to end up on the members ballot paper and indicate who might be next to drop out and fissures in austin texas which has the that we just said the 2nd highest number of delegates up for grabs so pretty exciting night there in course. Yeah no one really knows whats going to happen because the whole thing has been up ended by those 2 candidates pulling out over the last 2436 hours i mean if you look at the polls it would suggest that Bernie Sanders is going to do well in california thats a big delegate haul for him put some much closer to the nomination but suddenly texas is in play for everyone a you would have thought that joe biden would do well here but barely sanders is surprisingly doing well in the polls but that could all be impacted because. People who to judge and him equal bush are were doing quite well here the pool out theyll still get some early voting still some postal votes going in their direction but if a lot of their support goes to joe biden and pushes him up over the 15 percent mark then he gets a fair number of delegates from from texas as well it is incredibly complicated incredibly interesting normally its after super tuesday we see candidates stropping out so to see 2 of them drop hope before suggests that the establishment wing of the Democratic Party certainly made a quiet phone call to both of them and said look we need to go before super tuesday you know going to when theres no path of the nomination youve got to get behind joe biden and thats exactly what theyve done but barely sanders is right he does have a groundswell of support in places like this University Young people see in him the way that a lot of disaffected people saw in donald trump 4 years ago and so they are very much in support of his campaign so the still a long way to go before we get to the convention in the summer and super tuesday is hugely significant in helping shape the rest of the race but if anyone tells you they know exactly whats going to happen in the next few hours take their temperature because they could well be suffering from a virus thats going around at the moment and fisher thank you very much. Im as a palestinian american comedian whos a political star get any sound as appearing on behalf of his campaign he joins me now from detroit michigan which is due to hold its democratic primary in a week thanks very much for being with us so its quite tricky isnt it candidate at the moment because suddenly biden has got a bit more momentum behind him after these big name endorsement send an end to the to the candidates dropping out what will serve the confidence and what were doing were advocating for the issues that we feel are popular with the American People thats medicare for all College Public universities these kinds of things are things that have been missing for too long from the political debate and so while the establishment wing is getting together this sort of moderate lanes that they say we dont believe that people fit nicely into those lanes we we feel people believe that people shouldnt go bankrupt because they get sick they shouldnt die because theyre poor and these are the things that were pushing forward in our campaign and thats why weve been doing so well and were going to do very well tonight also were putting together coalitions that other people have been putting together people of color immigrant communities latinos who now are the largest single minority voting bloc in america so i think a lot of people are going to see the results from tonight and see the fruits of the hard work that weve been doing if you mention that it is touch on diversity there but South Carolina that didnt really work for what for biden he seemed to be a pick up the you know the the the largest number of votes that were disappointed with with that result. Well look youre always disappointed when you dont get votes that somebody else gets but we know that when it comes for instance specifically to the africanamerican vote we are doing just as well or better than joe biden throughout the country South Carolinas a subsists pacific case a lot of older voters not as many Younger Voters the voters there tend to be more conservative even on the democratic scale but as we go across the country we saw for instance in nevada bernie did better with the latinos in the vatican than biden did with black voters in South Carolina so we see our campaign reaching into the diversity of america moreover there are so many communities that we dont normally talk about like the Asian American community the arab American Community the Muslim American communities all of these communities have been interacting very very intimately with the Bernie Sanders campaign and we feel like we have a very strong relationship with those communities so its not we cant simply talk about the american electorate as black and white anymore there are so many other communities in the mix as well you mentioned earlier that the middle ground isnt that one of the things that you have were going to have how what do you do dont do in in this stage if you do come up against President Trump you are going to need to get some votes from the middle ground and you mention things like medicare for that thats been one of the issues where youre not on the middle ground. Well you know look i dont know how people put these lanes of left right middle what we do know is that medicare for all is popular across the spectrum and its popular with working people who dont subscribe to any particular political ideologies of republican or democrat and so what we see with our ideas is that they actually have a broad mass appeal in 2016 there were tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of voters i saw them in michigan even who voted for Bernie Sanders in the primaries and then voted for donald trump in the general elections against Hillary Clinton so we already know that Bernie Sanders can get a lot of these voters who can flip back to him also look i mean the d.
