Im bring golf its good to have you with us we begin tonight with tensions at the border between europe and turkey and fears that a repeat of the 2015 migration crisis may be in the works it began when turkey confirmed over the weekend that it will. Nonstop migrants in its territory from heading towards the countrys border with the European Union since then thousands have been on the move towards greece for some the journey has already turned deadly the greek coast guard today announcing that the drowning of a child after a boat capsized in route to the island of lesbos other migrants are facing strong pushback is they try to reach europe by land and sea. Repelled at sea tekkie released this footage of the coastal city of bodrum Authorities Say it shows the greek coast guard pushing back a boat filled with migrants its one of the tactics we call thirtys are using off to turkey opened its border allowing migrants to try and enter the e. U. Greece says it has stopped almost 10000. 00 attempted crossings over 24 hour period. They fired tear gas to disperse the crowds gathering at the border fences the migrants can hit a message from greek border authorities across the river. Its not a command thats likely to be a bait. Well keep waiting here because we left our homes those of us who had homes however things to sell got money for them so they could get out if we have to go back we will have to sleep in the streets. What can we do were stuck here we cant go back home. On sunday some groups tried a hazardous route across the river ever us with some success greece accuses ankara of organizing a campaign to push people through the greek Turkish Border. This migrant from cameroon waded across the river to reach greece she says shed been told to leave turkey and along with refugees from syria she was taken by pass from istanbul to the Turkish Border. More syria. Is. No one. But greek police were waiting on the other side. German chancellor Angela Merkel criticized turkish president rejected at a one to use in the migrants as political pawns. In this thing given all the understanding and a willingness to provide more support. I think its totally unacceptable to deal with this at the expense of migrants job adjustment as its often wouldnt theyve been encouraged to go to the border only to end up at a dead end thats a given. And our policy and the policy of the e. U. Turkey deal is not aimed at conducting politics at the migrants expense defeating a politics. With migrants stuck in a no mans land the pressure is on for politicians to find a way out of the stalemate. Are for more now im joined by our correspondent kareen strauss she is in brussels tonight good evening to you merida so we know that greece has said this is not a greek problem this is a european problem so what is the European Union doing about this. Well frontex their European Border agency has said our has confirmed today that it will lounge. Record border intervention yes they call that because chris has asked for that also the e. U. Interior ministers roomies on wednesday here in brussels and discuss the situation that you Foreign Ministers will also meet later this week and e. U. Commission president was enough underline will travel to the greek Turkish Border tomorrow all along with your top leaders to discuss with the greek government and also to assess the situation and we need the greece is said that it is temporarily suspending asylum applications now that goes against e. U. Law also has there been a response from the European Union. Others an emergency clause in the european treaties and agrees actually this emergency calls allows them to do so so the Commission President is the final line has declined to comment on that so far she said she will discuss that tomorrow with the greek government but usually if we look at the e. U. s salame law everyone has to write whenever he or she arrives here and europe to apply for asylum thats also guaranteed by the Un Refugee Convention and the Un Refugee Agency has a stress today that there snow a legal basis for greece to do spent. Marina we know that there is a fear of a repeat of the 2015 migrant crisis here in europe or Member States in the European Union are they prepared to take in more migrants at this point. Its actually very likely that many a Member States will will follow a very hardline approach when it comes to taking in migrants weve been seeing that in the last couple of years and theres no reason to believe that this will change dramatically and also we have to look at what is happening on the greek islands for example europe has promised to speed up asylum application process but hasnt done so far and were proceeding for example income aria unless bus so on european soil is what some observers describe a living hell for migrants and we know that the turkish president said that the European Union has not done enough has not kept the deal that it has with turkey whats your take on that is that true the thing is that its not surprising that turkey is once more support when it comes to sharing the burden when it comes to migration because with the situation in italy of deteriorating maybe there are hundreds of thousands of refugees from syria waiting in front of the turkeys borders in front of its door maybe they want to come to turkey to seek refuge but we also have to look at the issue and this issue is that you turkey deal this year turkey deal was struck 4 years ago by the European Union and turkey and the e. U. Has always known that its a sport tie in with this deal that this wouldnt be a stable deal but it hasnt done much within these 4 years to solve the problem and now were may be seeing another migration crisis like in 2015 and the e. U. Hasnt prepared for it well i dont respond to readers trials but the latest from brussels tonight on what could be the beginnings of another margaret crisis for europe where you think you. In israel polls will close in just over an hour in the countrys 3rd election within a year its another attempt to end a political stalemate like the last 2 times conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his center left opponent by the guns have been running neck and neck neither side previously won enough seats to form a government but many hope todays high voter turnout will make a difference and change there. He needs all the votes he can get fears of a coronaVirus Outbreak could put a dent in turnout but israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is urging people to head to the polls anyway go vote go vote its a produce this is a democracy you have a great right that you should exercise with confidence the thing is completely under control today weve taken all the precautions that are necessary people can go and vote with complete confidence thank you its not just the virus that could make people stay home analysts say voter fatigue has set in this is israels 3rd election in 11 months and support has splintered among many parties netanyahu has popularity has waned after corruption charges were brought against him in november his likud party is projected to claim only a quarter of seats in Parliament Polls put him in a virtual tie with his center left rival benny gantz. Its about time to be much more united much as one another once against the other one group hoping to make gains is the joint list an alliance of arab israeli parties theyve taken heart from recent polls. Today of we will make history. We have at least 15 seats and were getting close to 16 seats with everyones efforts. Yes our votes the boats of the joint list are the ones that will prevent Benyamin Netanyahu from forming a government and the joint list is the one that will make history at. Netanyahu may yet come out slightly ahead but with no hope for a clear majority his conservative party is bracing for more Coalition Talks and perhaps more deadlock. And for more now im joined by tanya kramer she is on the story for us in jerusalem good evening to you. What are the chances that this election will break israels political deadlock what do you say. Well i think no more in less than an hour as you said then the polling stations will close and well see the 1st exit polls being carried here by the main t. V. Stations i mean all the polls have projected in the past states a neck and neck race but that the slight advantage for Benyamin Netanyahu came up in the latest polls but what is very significant tonight is the high of voter turnout theres been a lot of talk about election fatigue but its reported here that as of 6 pm was the highest voter turnout for the past 20 years and i think that shows that is very does really want to see an end to this political deadlock we know that the polls show netanyahu and his center left challenger benny gantz once again running neck and neck it seems like nothing has changed really does god does he have any chance to be Prime Minister netanyahu this time around. Well he came out very strong in the september elections and his main complain of pew and why it. Was carried on you know the issues of security is a former chief of staff under netanyahu by the way and also. On the message of you know pointing at the indictment of netanyahu and the upcoming trial but i think the main issue with this election is that its again a referendum so to speak or yes or no against or for netanyahu and this is and of course the main issue is them who will have the largest bloc of the right wing religious bloc or the center left over that by pew and white. So who can form the coalition at the end so at 2200. 00 local time the 1st exit polls will be populist and then i think we get an indication where this election will be heading we will be watching that this evening with you tanya kramer force in jerusalem thank you. Well heres some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world amy club a char has announced that she is ending her democratic president ial bid and that she will endorse former Vice President joe biden it comes ahead of super tuesday when the total of 14 u. S. States holding their primaries the United Nations envoy to libya is stepping down because on salami took up the post nearly 3 years ago he says his resignation is due to Health Reasons and that he cannot continue with the stress of the job on the vatican has opened its archives on the wartime papacy of pius the 12th they were kept secret for decades amid accusations that he turned a blind eye to the holocaust that again says he worked behind the scenes to save jews dozens of scholars are in rome to pour over the archives documents. Well as the number of cases of corona virus around the world continues to increase rapidly travel and border controls are under the spotlight the World Health Organization says that the world is in quote an chartered territory although its director maintains that the outbreak can still be contained the total number of infections around the world is now nearly 90000 more than 3000 patients have died indonesia and several other countries are reporting their 1st cases today officials in italy the worst hit country here in europe says that the number of deaths has jumped up from 34 to 52 the number of patients who have recovered from the virus worldwide is now more than 45000. Well across europe far right and nationalist movements have been fast to turn the corona Virus Outbreak into a chance to push their anti migration rhetoric and to call for Stricter Border controls you know the reporter for the record baggio has been looking into that so this is not a pretty story for the region how are far right parties how are they trying to use this you know this virus to their advantage well one way is by trying to draw a link between the virus and migration women example in italy you need the leader of the popular far right a physician part of the league he has every people link the virus to migrants coming by of the mediterranean for instance here he posted a video of a migrant rescue ship docking in sicily along with the message it is simply in saying that the landings continue as if nothing had happened meaning as if current virus hadnt happened and hes a criticizing the government and saying its ridiculous that they act surprised by the numbers of cases in italy implying of course if you let migrants so many migrants in then theres going to be so many cases but let me stress here that there is no proven link between migrants and refugees and the spreading of the medicine tells us that virus new viruses dont discriminate based on nationality fright we have also seen for right parties across europe calling for the suspension of the European Unions sharing agreement and our viewers know that agreement allows for the Free Movement of people and goods across borders in the e. U. Thats right to slovenia suggested dot also in france marion le pen the leader of the far right National Front party suggested that and the idea of having tighter borders has also been rated by here in germany by the far right turn to for Germany Party and we have a tweet here by lisa vida who is the head of the f. T. In the German Parliament who says it would be more than the. Diligent if necessary measures to contain the virus were not taken or were taken too late due to worship calls a one sided fixation on the dogma of the open borders of course governments european governments are taking measures to contain this virus but we are also seeing that here theres a quite clearly an effort by fire right parties to tap into the panic and the fear surrounds virus to push what theyve always wanted so much more dangerous its true that the corona virus as we know its also part of the story here that were talking about tonight and that is the fate of those migrants who were at the turkish greek border now well certainly the current of ours is not going to make things any easier for them sure weve seen that the current virus has been at least cited by greek authorities as one of the reasons reasons why they thought it was necessary to tighten controls on migrant groups within hungary for instance. Just and now that applications for asylum asylum applications will be indefinitely suspended because of fears of the current virus and people who may be coming in from iran but let me reiterate the most of the migrants weve seen those reports they are they dont even come from risk countries and if some of them reportedly do come from iran but they probably have been in turkey for since before this outbreak yeah with the fear of the virus certainly adding to the calls for the borders to be closed thats for sure so we could budget as always thank you thank you. All right were going to stay with the corona virus now which continues to spread around the world the virus has now infected nearly 90000 people worldwide killing more than 3000 in italy which is the worst hit country here in europe Officials Say the number of people infected has jumped to more than 2000 and here in germany the number of cases has shot up to nearly 130 heres more on how germans are dealing with the threat of coven 19. Germany and the corona virus in a big city like berlin the infectious agent might be lurking anywhere invisible to the naked eye but potentially deadly. So far theres no sign of widespread panic here of its anywhere up with that you cant protect yourself from it completely but if you follow a few basic rules then hopefully itll pass you by but still its worrying hes put off all the time as a chef you know i just try to follow hygiene rules and wash my hands i also try to teach this to my pupils thats it really. Has to hafe im worried about it sure i read the newspapers and listen to the radio you do have to stay on the alert from box and the stink is fits i think its really being played up ok it is dangerous a few people are getting sick. But theyve had only mild cases. With the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in berlin risk researcher gant geek atlanta has some clear advice. And sponsors relax or try to avoid dying in the things you probably will die of. Dust is that would be things such as the ordinary case of flu smoking or people you see on the street in their car who insist on using their smartphone while driving. But when hallways behaves rationally especially when it comes to shopping. A few people have started panic buying staples such as canned goods and pasta and especially cleansers and disinfectants. So the shelves might be picked clean. Unusual for germany. Was under especially in our supermarkets in the section for hygiene articles where the soap and disinfectants are weve had shortages some items have sold out and it is also called here 3 of the constant reports on the radio t. V. And other media play a part where suspected cases and deaths are tallied up for the. It creates the impression that its the biggest problem we have its not. To sc
