Its called how mystic alphen in german literally translates as hamster buying but it doesnt mean that people here were leaning across the federal republic of being stocking up on adorable Furry Friends it means theyve been panic buying essential in fear of the coronavirus empty shelves in supermarkets across berlin have become a common sight as people hoard fresh fruit and vege as well as nonperishable goods like pastor rice toilet paper Hygiene Products and other basics have been flying off shelves as people prepare for potential self isolation as the covert 19 crisis spreads around the world while emergency testing tens of being set up at hospitals to identify those with the virus the German Government is being giving its assessments of the Current Situation or stick with it but he means he knows chinas coronaVirus Outbreak has become a Global Pandemic is always a question of finding the right balance on the one hand between the restrictions necessary to contain the virus and on the other enabling every day life to continue whats clear is that we have not yet reached the peak of the outbreak its not just the muse systems that the virus has been attacking the economy is also taking a real pounding the German Airline lufthansa has canceled hundreds of flights with around 150. 00 aircraft currently grounded the German Economy one of the most robust in europe is facing the real possibility of sliding into recession we asked people here on the streets of pearlie and whether they are afraid of the virus. The supermarkets have been plundered and you take what you can kill in order to have something at home as a fact as i will wait where they it is important not to be so hysterical. That is their greasy i mean once you have a small staggered home which would last for 14 days as supply in some food and food is all right. It but there are a familiar i think its massively exaggerated im not doing penny buying and in my usual Grocery Shopping it would be nice terry if others who did the same then you would not need to drive to multiple stores you might be the new one that there is an epidemic many people die every year and now we have this corona virus theatre its absolutely sickening any silly which is being the hardest hit in europe all schools and universities have been closed for 2 weeks in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus panic buying is also being seen in the United Kingdom where theres also huge economic concerns over the impact in a nation with a poultry system of sick pay compared to where the European Countries it could see some force to survive on just over 100 year old we the reality is we dont know what is going to happen next with this new virus the best advice we have is to avoid panicking practice good hand washing hygiene and avoid touching bases peter all of our party. Elsewhere around as been scrambling to contain the virus saying on friday it would limit travel between cities as the number of cases there is surged to over 3500 at least 107 people have died in the country this far including advisers to the Supreme Leader in the foreign minister with the islamic republics Health Care System buckling under the strain of the crisis right now the u. S. President chipped in and said that washington is willing to come to to round to sisters but the iranian leadership wasnt too impressed with that offer. If we can help the iranians with this problem we are certainly willing to do so we would love to be able to help them and all they have to do is ask we will have great professionals over there we have the best of the world if thats the truth that at least weve the medicine sanctions that is the 1st step so we have done the iranian nation wrong and we apologize no 1st step is to release banking transactions to purchase medicine do we have the medicine and to ship netizens and food. Or a mind a humanitarian goods including medical medical supplies or officially exempt from the United States sanctions against iran but other financial restrictions as we heard there including those that target the countrys banks limit to rounds ability to import vital medication is the cash the sanctions have led to shortages of drugs used to treat cancer and epilepsy there are many in the us establishment to even at this time would like to see those sanctions made even tougher a case in point is the other because the group united against nuclear iran which is spearheaded by the former u. S. Government officials said of them like john bolton for instance it pressures Big Pharmaceutical Companies to stop doing business with iran but since the corona Virus Outbreak it has said it believes the humanitarian needs of the iranian people must be met nonetheless contradiction there may be professor side Mohammad Marandi from university to read told us the sanctions are impeding the authorities ability to fight the illness. The americans have been forcing Companies Across the world not to cooperate with iran its not just the Banking Sector the Banking Sector does not allow any medicine to be purchase through the network but not only are they blocking bad but theyre also imposing conditions on pharmaceutical companies that are so tough that in reality no one will work with iran so theyre americans through the sanctions have killed the iranians and right now they are impeding irans battle against the coronavirus. Looks where the news no Foreign Ministers were across the e. U. Were thrown their full support behind greece this friday after meeting for a 2nd day to discuss the refugee crisis and its border with turkey clashes have been continuing along the frontier under heavy haze of tear gas as police repel tens of thousands of Asylum Seekers attempting to cross into europe shallow dubinsky is there still for us reporting back issues tonight. Chiefs have said they wont be pressurised Foreign Ministers were meeting on friday to discuss the situation here on the border between greece and turkey amid fresh tensions as you can see some of the Army Vehicles leading the border area now and this is both sides have been accusing the other of using tear gas weve had images from the greek side that they say shows turkish c. S. Gas being deployed into no mans land and into their territory and what they described as being a series of coordinated attacks theyve also provided us with images which show c. S. Gas canisters that they say they were able to lay to retrieve which have markings on them now they have also been reports that the. Military and the police force are aiding the migrants to try and cross into greek territory in fact some are even accusing them of trying to julan means using violence to demand access to not just greece but the e. U. But those are of course unconfirmed reports now the e. U. Foreign Affairs Minister has been defiant about the situation and has said that the borders will remain closed if you want to avoid critical situations. People have to. They dont have to tell the people. Because. Hundreds of people have already pass. When turkey has said it borders will remain open they have been open now for a round a week and we know that camps are forming on the other side on the turkish side as migrants come close to the border in the hope of getting into the e. U. A myth. These skirmishes between the 2 sides we know that turkey is now reinforcing its Security Forces on the border now just to give you a sense of how many people have tried to get through. Been of people trying to get through in the last week were talking 203040000 attempts in the 12 hours between thursday evening and friday morning they were just under 3000 attempts actually down from the night before when there was some 7000 attempts for people to get through the border now turkey has said this is syrians who are waiting to try and cross into the e. U. 3 says thats not true in fact theyve given the statistics that show all of the around 250 people that have been arrested in the last week the majority were from afghanistan some 64 percent they said in regard to syrian suit being arrested it so far only 4 percent but the feeling here in greece is one of defiance we know that theyre also trying to extend the fence the physical fence between turkey and greece extending it from around 12 and a half kilometers up to 40 kilometers and in fact weve seen new barbed wire fencing passing us it stands defiant and has the e. U. To back it the message to migrants is you shall not pass. Ski. Casting yes on the greek turkish border. Greece has no choice but to defend its borders says europe is not providing adequate support. For the greek government there is no other option. Do. You have exams now we are for. Greece and turkey. 500000 more and the press or the Little People who are being applied i dont see what else what government could do reveal myself. During the previous refugee crisis. The political system youre actually cost over this might be part of this were destroyed. But europe is unwilling to for some kind of solution because its afraid of. Congress will use it is. The issue has a point against the euro and its governments. To whistle blows have struck back at the world chemical weapons watchdog issuing responses to another inquiry by the o p c w the organization previously said the paragon broke off they publicly criticised its conclusions about an alleged chemical attack in duma syria 2 years ago they now want to scientific hearing and in a letter to the director general they accuse the watchdog of ignoring their work. Inspect to be annoyed tried on many occasions to meet with you you may also know or perhaps not that these requests were all denied the reason given by a senior official was its my role to protect the director general you will never get to speak with him and if you try to go around me to get him there will be consequences letters to the director of the Global Chemical weapons watchdog courtesy of the gray zone project there the latest development in a ping Pong Exchange of correspondence between david and goliath whistleblowers and the o. P. C. W. Inspector in i have tried to resolve our concerns with you in private however this saga has unfortunately escalated to a point where we are now publicly portrayed as adversaries inspectors are now being smeared as the into this is of these values for nothing more than daring to speak out the smearing started back in february with a report in response to what the Organization Called a breach of confidentiality leaks that casts doubt on the o. P. C. W. s conclusions about duma they said the gas cylinders were likely place there rather than dropped from an aircraft and that one area was likely not even subjected to a chemical attack but the report barely even touched on any of that the authors were too busy trying to tear the whistleblowers inspectors a and b. To pieces inspectors a and b. Are not whistleblowers theyre individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence their behaviors even more egregious as they had manifestly incomplete information about the doom and vesta gave their conclusions were erroneous uninformed and rone erroneous uninformed that doesnt seem very becoming for 2 guys who are apparently the Inspection Team leaders why would a pair of the top Inspection Team leaders both with impeccable record both incidentally from the west and Group Background who have never set a foot wrong suddenly go rogue did these old circumstances not ring some warning bells they sure are confident in their qualification. But it goes farther than that inspectors a and b. Categorically reject one of the o. P. C. W. s biggest claims against them that they had pretty much nothing to do with the investigation and no access to Important Information when i joined the team shortly after the start of the deployments to do inspect a b. And i continued playing a central role in the overall investigation the final report didnt exactly benefit from the editorial turnaround information was slashed details removed and facts dont explain why its not like the inspectors didnt try to get answers to their questions before pressing the big red leak button something had gone wrong inside the open c. W. Center and we wanted you to know its that simple they even think there might have been a bit of deception at play the investigation was conducted by a british investigator and a lawyer from the usa the activities of the Fact Finding Mission were managed by o. Chief of cabinet from fronts whose views are echoed in both the narratives doesnt strike you as somewhat biased in that the 3 individuals represent the 3 defendants the 3 countries who were responsible for the missile strikes in response to the allegation of a chemical attack in duma and o. P. C. W. Leak and some back and forth later there are still so many questions and few answers as to what really happened we asked the o. P. C. W. Force response to the claims in the meantime we spoke to former f. B. I. Agent a whistleblower coley rowley who suspects a Smear Campaign that the o. P. C. W. The allegation and accusation that these 2 inspectors who were amongst the top experts they were the 1st hand investigators that actually examined the evidence allegation that they went rogue makes no sense at all and again given that they were amongst the top professionals in it with the expertise in engineering and in chemical weapons these were the top people so it really is. Really defies obsolete ability that they would have gone rogue they and their close to retire you know they have done a many many years of faithful service to the o. P. C. W. They believe in the mission of truth in times of war truth becomes the 1st casualty and syria is no different at this point it would have to be one side is not telling the truth here and the the entity that changed conclusions of reports would be the suspected entity that is not telling the truth. To a team in his prostate leaving here in moscow thanks so much now to his National Good do you think book coming up something fishy going on in the waters around britain the government says its going to deploy the navy to repel the new Fishing Vessels once brecks its complete this is been a spot in the past is it going to be trouble again well try in that seawall said clement but. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see that. Again this is all its International Broadcast around the world very proud to from russia and the next story britain says its going to deploy the navy to prevent the Fishing Vessels mentoring its waters its been all spot before could be coming to the fore again of the brics it is becoming a key Sticking Point indeed in those trade talks that are going to be really hard to get through he said alys got the latest. The town of poole on englands south coast is one of the u. K. s oldest fishing communities and the local economy relies heavily on the fisheries industry its a calm and a daily town but life could be about to be brutally disrupted if the political rhetoric is to be believed the u. K. s tory government have warned the e. U. That if their ships try to access british waters theyll deploy the royal navy to keep them out setting the stage for a confrontation on the high seas we have increased a. Sufficient the u. K. Is currently in a socalled transition period in the gauche a should have begun which will determine what kind of deal the u. K. Will leave with at the end of december this year but when it comes to fishing the 2 sides are still far apart in the months the u. K. Wants the e. U. To follow british law and for negotiations to take place annually similar to an agreement they have with norway they you however wants to have a Long Term Agreement with quotas on fishing missy uses the deaf or secretary warned the e. U. Against trying to use fisheries as a negotiating chip while the french have hit back saying theyre more than ready to get nasty if the u. K. Isnt willing to play ball all we played with emotion was drama was passion with symbols and we know how to make it a very i think must about both sides both sides very nice about them playing nasty could mean the french blockading channel ports and some british fishermen say that the french are provoking the u. K. Into taking harsh measures if its decided to take that action. I think that it would just from apology meant that we need to. We need to self manage ourselves and on we are fully prepared for things i dont think it would worry that the u. K. Fishermen until we should have our own waters back. In the past we have adam and if its belgiums fides everyone gets bigger quote those than the english freshman so shanks got to be done if the english freshman down and if and that would be arrested on the other side of the channel the feeling of mistrust is neutral and the sense is that a confrontation is inevitable but on a sort of a definite we havent really been informed we hope this case is looking up because if there were no negotiations it would mean a no deal at the end of the year in this case would be excluded from british waters this would be a disaster for the fishermen of the whole to france but also for french fishermen in general. About this year so obviously it is a deal or no deal but i think that if we are going towards a no deal the u. K. As ourselves the European Union not only france would lose a loss anyway it is not in our interests or u. K. Interests we must find an agreement with great britain. E. U. Kain ago she only began formally this week but already the question of fisheries could derail talks and lead to tit for tat retaliations that harm both french and british fishing communities and damage relations between these longtime allies allie r. T. In called 1st they gave the 2nd set a go around the world see some other headlines here officials in 2 museums say 5 Police Officers and one civilian have been wounded after 2 suicide bombers blew themselves up close to the u.

Latest on the race for the white house now a lot of us election focus right now on how the Democratic Party choice is pretty much down to a white man in the seventys. Reported this week but hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is still in the race she won 2 delegates in americas samoa so that makes her through to the next democratic debates but the Party Executive wants to shift the goalposts on but now it seems as caleb maupin has been finding out. The Democratic Partys machine has been widely exposed for playing favorites when it comes to president ial candidates the latest example of this is the treatment of tulsa gabbert as a result of these super tuesday vote gabbert gained a delegate and was thus eligible to appear in the televised debate so the d. N. C. Then changed the rules we have 2 more debates of course this threshold will go up by the time we have the much debate almost 2000 delegates will be allocated the threshold will reflect where we are in the race as it always has the rules keep changing in order to make sure that tulsi is locked out her supporters poured out their rage on to twitter god forbid told c. Gets back on the debate writes translation tosi finally hit the debate qualifications so we got to do something about that despite the fact theres literally only 5 people left in the race. You must really not want to go where no mood to big stage pathetic the bias against tulsa gabbert is rather extreme media reports pretend that she doesnt even exist they claim that Elizabeth Warren is somehow the only female candidate and youre going to Say Something about Elizabeth Warren is she going to benefit by being the only woman left now that amy clover sharers out Elizabeth Warren recently dropped out of the race so if the democrats want to keep with their message of inclusion they should have telsey gabbert on the stage but they seem to have a lock her out just like theyve done in the past furthermore Tulsi Gabbert is currently suing Hillary Clinton for publicly smearing her as a russian asset now some people suspect that the bias against tulsa gabbert is rooted in the fact that back in 2016 she endorsed Bernie Sanders and did not line up behind Hillary Clinton furthermore its worth pointing out that shes been rather critical of the debate process and the lack of inclusion back in november tolson gabbert used her permitted debate appearance to go after d. N. C. Favorite candidate Camila Harris and her record as a criminal prosecutor the facts were damning and the Harris Campaign shut down shortly afterwards however it seems to be tulsi as antiwar stance taken as she is a u. S. Service member that is the real on forgivable clincher she wants to end regime change wars and cut military spending congress and just passed a 738000000000. 00 war budget instead of providing for the health the safety the security of the well being of our people and our planet the Democratic Partys leadership seems to disagree with her they favor regime change operations and bloated military expenditures the Democratic Party favors continued military operations around the world done in the name of defending democracy and at home they dont mind arbitrarily changing the rules to make sure that democracy doesnt get in the way of this vitally important war agenda caleb mop and r. T. New york.
