Off to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all the around the world welcome we begin tonight here in germany remembering the horror of han l. 2 weeks after a racially motivated killing spree in the western german town the countrys leaders today joined thousands of people including survivors and their relatives to remember the victims a far right gunman shot 9 people dead and she set up bars in the town 2 weeks ago then went on. To kill his mother before turning the gun on himself the german chancellor Angela Merkel join big times friends and relatives at the ceremony today in the aftermath of that attack she described racism as a poison in german society. Where during todays ceremony the german president from valter steinmeyer acknowledged that germany has a problem with reese ism and islamophobia he called them all germans to defend democracy lets hear part of what he had to say eat a man stand on them get mines im undone leapt every person who lives in our country must be able to live in safety and peace our state has the duty to protect this right. It has to do more and must do everything necessary. It is responsibility falls 1st of all on our institutions on the men and women at the top and this responsibility falls on all of us. It challenges us to stand together against hate and persecution. Against terror and violence. And that is the measure by which we will be judged. Thats a german president there earlier this evening im joined now in the studio by my colleague and our Political Correspondent keith brady keep youve heard the speech the president talking about responsibility there what did you make of what he had to say there are a lot of interesting elements in that speech one thing that stood out to me as well was when he said that this crime didnt happen by chance that there was actually a back story that to this a back story of of hate speech and exclusion and discrimination against minority groups here in germany and that was very carefully criticism of this normalization of far right rhetoric in germany in recent years a swipe if you will even at the far right. Party but also it was interesting that he stepped back from some of the comments that he made initially after this attack as well saying by the symbolically that this was an attack that that was all and of course it was a lot of criticism for to carry from the community in the however this comments when theyre older they understood symbolically what he meant it was fair enough that they also said to me while i was in had no no it doesnt affect everyone and you dont know what its like every day to be ostracized and be constantly trying to prove your worth as a german and this was a very much at the center of his speech as well these i issued right now range of me about identity and what it means to be you know the direct aftermath of the attack you know weve heard time and time again since then that this attack was a wake up call for germany and what did what have you heard. Is the far right extremists seen in this country well this was a wake up call germany has certainly missed many many alarms already this was the deadly far right extremist attack in germany in less than a year of course we had the killing the shooting and killing of. A regional politician in june last year he was. And then of course we had the attempted and semitic attack in which to passers by were killed in the eastern city of haliburton going back before that we had been a tourist and i see the National Socialist underground murders and for years now there have been concerns raised about the far right infiltrating military infiltrating or thirtys in germany of course there is an overhaul plans to try and get to the root of these problems but of course the is a lot of work to be done which is going to take a lot more than than a few commissions hair in there to get to what the but at the end of the day is a very fundamental problem hands and it cant be done overnight either he brady as always thank you. There was violence today on greeces border to turkey greek Border Guards used force to repel thousands of migrants trying to cross into greece many of them or refugees fleeing war zones in syria the last weekend turkeys president cleared the way for them to course turkey and head for europe but they are finding that europes gates are close. Hundreds of migrants trying to cross the border to greece once again on wednesday without success they were met by greek police using tear gas migrants threw objects over the fence there were reports of casualties among them its 6 people were brought to the hospital today one of them already dead 5 patients are being treated in the emergency room one of them has a cracked skull and a bullet is still lodged in his head. To get. That increased denies the reports saying theyre fake news being spread by turkey and his speech to parliament on wednesday morning turkish president aired a one calling for better treatment of the refugees. United some much too much that i call on all countries especially greece not to treat the refugees at the borders with respect in accordance with International Human rights conventions. Crisis diplomacy in ankara air to one met European CouncilPresident Shall michel on wednesday afternoon very little was reported on the meeting e. U. Foreign affairs chief yosef oh on the other hand didnt mince his words on his trip to ankara he demanded that turkey no longer encourage migrants to head for the e. U. The e. U. Has now promised 60000000 euros in immediate paid for the refugees in northern syria. Are for more now we want to check in with boris just because he is the Spokes Person in greece for the u. N. H. C. R. Thats the uns agency for refugees forces good to see you we know that this is a fluid situation not only at the border but also on lesbos which is also a main entry point for people coming from turkey how is the situation at the moment where you wore. Well there will most of us of a situation thankfully has been calmer since yesterday havent had any boat arrivals but it has been a tense few days including because of intimidation and Violent Attacks against united syrian workers from some groups of the locals but also against journalists weve been deploring these actions weve also been affected on sunday one of our senior most colleagues on the island was verbally harassed and pushed as she was addressing a group of locals that were not allowing the boat to disembark on that boat there were families with Young Children they were telling them to go back later on that evening on sunday a transit location that weve been running for 4 years with the help of n. G. O. S for new arrivals in the north of the island was burned to the ground in arson attacks so thankfully these the past couple of days its been much calmer but obviously the situation is still quite fluid its understandable the local communities are been under intense pressure greece has shown incredible compassion and principle to refugees but what we have now is not just the last few days but months of a critical situation on the islands with overcrowding and now 40000. 00 Asylum Seekers that should at least half of them urgently move to the mainland through a decisive Government Action course we got reports finding in tear gas even. Some guns being fired in the direction of refugees at the greek Turkish Border today what more can you tell us about that. Well the situation as the last few days has been quite tense border with. You we have reports of people being pushed back and of the excessive use of force being used of course states out of the gentleman right to their borders to the regular movements but this should be done in a proportionate way over with or without excessive use of force and it should allow those who wish to sit beside them to have their cases handled in an orderly way so we have been appealing for calm and straight through we hope the deeds of these situations will be resolved in the next few days. Because of the u. N. H. C. R. Spokesperson joining us tonight from the greek island of lesbos we appreciate your time tonight thank you 30 thank you for having me.

Where in the United States those super tuesday primary. As olds are coming in super results for former Vice President joe biden he has now taken the lead against the other Democratic Candidates for President Joe Biden now has at least 453 delegates after winning 10 of the super tuesday races so far its important to remember that number but the race of course is not over for Bernie Sanders his 4 wins on super tuesday put him at 382 delegates and were still waiting for results from california now the clinch the partys nomination a candidate needs to secure at least 1991 delegates the billionaire Mike Bloomberg now he struggled to make any headway he only won one primary and that was in the pacific territory American Samoa due to his poor showing he has quit the race today he quit the race and he endorsed by. Super tuesday proved that joe bidens campaign for the democratic nomination is alive and well. Heres to you days ago the press the pundits who declared a campaign gird. Louis and then kerry South Carolina deja vu save our must our tour only got to super tuesday be over well it may be over the other guy. The former u. S. Vice president can now claim to be the front runner for the democratic president ial nomination exit polls link his success to strong support from africanamericans as well as older and suburban voters a moderate myself so i think his message can reach a lot of people who are in the middle reach both left and right by that if they can he has since the Obama Administration senator Bernie Sanders is by no means out of the race for the democratic nomination vote tonight a hard sell you were the absolute confidence were going to win the democratic nomination was andrew you are going to the feet the most dangerous president in their history of this country was sanders went into super tuesday as the front runner hes particularly popular with younger and latino voters was good i think that Bernie Sanders has what it takes any as have all of the people that i was hoping very would do better in some of the states he was a little exciting in the passing at the same time i do 2 other hopefuls senator Elizabeth Warren and former new york mayor Michael Bloomberg both performed poorly paul warnes campaign is still deliberating whether or not to stay in bloomberg has decided to drop out. By super tuesday is an important date in the president ial election calendar but it only represents about one 3rd of the delegates that are up for grabs nationwide. The camp. Hey now moves on to michigan and 5 other States Holding primaries next tuesday 350 more delegates are up to be one. Thats right the race is far from over sorry about that lets bring in our correspondents defines the monkey standing by for us in washington d. C. Good evening to you stefan sort of talk to me a little bit about what theyre calling joe mentum the former Vice President joe biden he managed to turn the tide despite what most people were thinking how do you do it. If you do that as well theyre about is scratching his head. At the moment but no not really so hes right the press and hes been a little bit of press bashing there declared his campaign all but dead last week and not only back it was that there was no telling that he will go with South Carolina with that margin 30 points before anybody else and now super tuesday that was a marvelous win for the Vice President and for joe biden for the Joe Biden Campaign black voters that him put him over the line and women women educated College Educated people in urban areas and women thats what sanders did not kept allies on and what biden was put over the line in all those states and he got a lot of endorsements from former rivals you dropped out Bernie Sanders did not have that luxury can he can he still make up ground and compete with biden in a meaningful way moving forward. Yeah absolutely right brenda those endorsers off from clovis are. In iraq helped massively by and Campaign Sanders didnt have that and he doesnt have any 1000 get it i think he wont have those endorsements. There is Elizabeth WarrenElizabeth Warren is maybe on the brink of throwing in the towel everybodys back to this literally because his she has virtually no chance of getting a significant delegate count the vote count so she and that is the question will endure sanders doesnt do something good for him yes or no the answer is virtually no why because the democratic establishment and elites are circling the wagons around biden biden is for them the most electable and generates the biggest chance for the democrats to. Win the election in november to get the. President right behind this house out of this house biden is the ticket for this according to again the democratic establishment and one more point senators just gave a little press conference and he paints this us against them picture right now still him and his campaign against democrats elites and establishment thats definitely not good for unity in the party and then weve got the Billionaire Bloomberg the Washington Post today reporting that if you do the math he spent so much money and got to see if you votes that he actually spent 100. 00 for every vote he got hes out of the race now so whos going to benefit from the loss of this billionaire. I think also biden and why is that because he will have he said he will and you remember this probably spent about a 1000000000. 00 on whoever is going to be the at the end the candidate against donald trump and he will follow up on this at least thats what everybody says and thinks so theres a little bit of legal work to do is to form a super pac but then he can actually get a lot of money into the Democratic Party in 2. 00 words the campaign of the candidate which he will stand against all trump but yeah absolutely right the man spent 500000000. 00 more than that half a 1000000000. 00 in his Campaign Just compared to this the Biden Campaign spent 15000000. 15 remember half a 1000000000 talking about the prince in the pauper here in politics amazing to find the money on the story for us in washington thank you. Are turning to the coronavirus china is reporting another drop in the number of new cases of the infection but the death toll in the country where the outbreak began is nil nearing 3000 elsewhere italys death toll has now risen to more than 100. 00 with a steep jump of 28. 00 people dying in just the last 24 hours the Italian Government today announced that it will close all schools and universities across the country until mid march and the German Airline tons saying it will ground a 150. 00 aircraft due to the corona virus. Well many people in areas affected by the virus are concerned about being stuck at home if they have to self quarantine and that is leading people to stockpile food and other essentials i mean this is for real supermarket shelves in many countries including here in germany have been emptied because of people panic buy in australia supermarket chains have had to start rationing toilet paper after shoppers began stockpiling toilet paper. W. s soccer is here now and youre not stockpiling toilet paper i understand but yet not yet but what more why are people doing this so this panic buying in australia started over the we can alter the 1st coronavirus death was confirmed then now it might sound a bit and this is there just a part of toilet paper in australia 1st of all its not a product that will stop the spread of the virus. Its theres no shortage of toilet paper and its not strictly necessary for survival the apocalypse but panic buying of course is not a rational thing you must be worried yourself about the spread of this virus because you see other people start buying up this product you want to make sure that you are not left without toilet
