247 live from the russian capital this is our Team International where if you are in the wild back to keep me company. Well lets jump in a lot of u. S. Election focus right now is on how the Democratic Party choice is pretty much down to white men in the seventys but hawaii congresswoman tulsi is still in the race she won 2 delegates in American Samoa and so makes it through to the next democratic debates but the Party Executive wants to shift the goalposts on that. Explains. 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 Tulsi 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 the special will go up by the time we have the much debate almost 2000 delegates will be allocated and thresh who 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 debate 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 tulsas antiwar stance taken as she is a u. S. Service member that is the real on forgivable clincher she wants to and 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. This vitally important war agenda caleb mop and our 2 new york. And all the 2000 cases of corona virus around the world have been confirmed in just the past day in many countries people are stripping stores bad leaving empty shelves as they stock up on essential should they need to self isolate people now takes a look. 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 hunted by essentially 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 tents 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 you know 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 its whats clear is that we have not yet reached the peak of the outbreak its not just the muse systems that the viruses be attacking the economy is also taking a real pounding the German Airline left 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 berlin whether they are afraid of the virus wired of an issue in these one that the supermarkets have been blunted and you take what you can carry in order to serve something its home as a fantastic. Where they need. Not to be so hysterical. Fabric that is their greasy i mean once you have a small struggle which would last for 14 days supply in some food and food is all right. I think its massively exaggerated but im not doing pennies buying and doing my usual Grocery Shopping it would be nice to know if others who did the same then you would not need to drive to multiple stores you might be didnt you invent their was an epidemic many people die every year and now we have this corona virus there so its absolutely sickening all the way on the other side of the world in australia the media of common defy if the whip it up its while supermarkets have hopped the place limits on the amount of toilet paper customers can buy was shelves stripped bare is a straw is prepared for a Pandemic Take a look at this we went out to take a look for ourselves yesterday and there wasnt a toilet roll inside here members. Being its happening all over the country the great soil of paper pad it is in full cry shoppers swarming stores and clearing shelves of staple goods as coronavirus called what newspaper there is even use the headline run out of loo paper and left 8 pages empty so they can be cut out and used as toilet paper in a 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 paltry system of sick pay compared to other 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 our faces before all of us are see. Now to a big developing story he may test refugee crisis out the green. Turkish border is seeing officials and politicians increasingly trade furious accusations at one another with both claiming facts of being willfully distorted in the meantime tuckeys allowing tens of thousands of people to amass out from 10 many are at a makeshift camp right now and the numbers are growing fast turkish authorities have deployed Additional Police while officers on the greek side pushed back shot a deep inskeep shes been in the thick of it and she looks next and how both sides of fuelling the situation. Greece and turkey have long had an clear moony yes relationship now is greece feels its borders are under attack this time by my quince leaving turkey sparks flying on the ground here is where the battle lines of being true are but perhaps the real conflict is being fought through the power of the news and social media with both sides labeling claims and counterclaims as fake. Greek Police Brutality claimed the life of an innocent migrant who tried to cross into greece from turkey on monday was with tell us that her husband was killed at the border. With. Turkey has accused greece of using live ammunition killing and injuring many quints who truing to cross the greek police and border units have fired plastic bullets and live ammunition on migrants waiting between the cash danis and possibly board a gates the 5 men who were wounded had been shot in the food growing head and chest by live bullets. Turkish state media even says it has evidence of violence perpetuated by greece. And that is the type of Excessive Force which the green Border Police is using there you started using live ammunition on refugees and migrants the greek Prime Minister has categorically slammed those accusations as being wholly false it would be people of archippus give us the turkish side creates and disperses fake news targeted against greece today they created yet another such false whod injured migrants and one dead supposedly by greek fire i categorically deny that greece for its part says turkey is aiding and abetting my quince who are trying to cross illegally unfortunately turkey has become the official trafficker of migrants to the e. U. And greece does not accept the situation we are sending a very clear signal that migrants who are refugees cannot be used as an instrument as pawns in a geopolitical game turkey also claims that those trying to cross this border are Syrian Refugees but greek Authorities Say the majority off from countries such as afghanistan from pakistan from morocco on social media videos purporting to show migrant crossings are circulating as click bait it is a wall of words. They have borders and they have the right to protect them. The greeks have been europes shield for much longer than most people realize ever since there has been islam the e. U. Is fighting against refugees turkey is fighting to protect refugees. Since your proposed turkeys plan to create safe zones in syria for syrians e. U. No bears responsibility to the needy refugees turkey is already looking after 5000000. 00 refugees it seems the world is divided who is at fault here although one side turkey is apparently dumping migrants and forcing them to cross the border on the other hand greece is allegedly using brute force to repel them both accuse the other of using tear gas as a weapon to push migrants towards or away from the border but as the war of fake news is playing out on the ground its the my clients who are suffering being batted back and forth between Turkey Greece and the e. U. Even ski for r. T. Casting yes on the greek Turkish Border now the red cross has sharply criticized for its handling of the crisis and rebuked greece for suspending asylum applications a decision the u. N. Says has no legal basis on the other hand though some here m. P. s say the bloc should and all cooperation with turkey. This is again a good lesson for us that European Union doesnt solve our problems it only makes the problems worse we paid 6000000000 euros to the turkish regime and what do we get after some of the several years we only get blackmailed again so does the other gun just wants more money from us and this has to stop. When it is clear that. Stork you are not a reliable partner and so i think that you should check your interim council because i think that your piano taxpayer certainly have lost a lot of money i mean in my view would be an appropriate response for the e. U. To suspend the Turkish Customs Union with immediate effect. And. We may well be demanding this in the not too distant future. After extensive negotiations in moscow on the leaders of russia and turkey agreed a ceasefire in syrias war torn in a province the 2 International Powers are backing opposing sides in the conflict which has brought them perilously close at times to direct confrontation especially in recent weeks more if a National House more on the outcome of those discussions. It took a total of 6 hours 3 of them ted ted between ludmer putin and it dept i put a band thats a lot for top men and then the 2 countries delegations including foreign and defense ministers join their leaders and the discussion continued it was clear from the beginning it is not going to be an easy chorus ation journalists were told there will be no press conference at the end of any media context so to the very last moment we didnt know whether were going to see mr putin and mr and the gun this evening at all but both leaders came out to journalists with the outcome of thursdays crucial talks on syria the key paul. Point is that the 2 sides came to an agreement to deescalate the syrian turkish crisis in syrias war torn province and to set this in concrete putin and out of the gun signed a document detailing a cease fire on the ground in a glib that starts from midnight march 6th your job is sought at midnight beginning on the 6th of march a cease fire will be implemented we will take all necessary steps to ensure at last our goal is to do Everything Possible to prevent the humanitarian situation from deteriorating in the region so the ceasefire is certainly agcy point but there were some other steps agreed upon between russia and turkey the 2 sides decided to establish a socalled safe corridor 12 kilometer wide 6 kilometers north and 6 kilometers south from syria strategic and 4 highway connecting aleppo and lattakia and to start joint patrol of this area to secure it to make it a safe zone starting march 15th widely reported described thursday stalks with the head of the gun in general as a positive move through the circle of muslim into this group but we dont always agree without turkish partners in our evaluation of the situation in syria but critical moments having high level bilateral relations weve always managed to find Common Ground on controversial issues and have found acceptable solutions. Well what is a blip this is syria is the last remaining terrorist stronghold damascus lost control over it 5 years ago but back in 2018 russia and turkey again pulled in and out of the gun already committed to help the syrian army clear this fos northern province in syria from teris and all the size seem to have this common goal and move together towards it until her around a month ago the turkish leader gave up this idea and he made a u. Turn calling on russia to leave syria and to leave him face to face with the regime these are hes words the situation on the ground started boiling 2 escalation violence it became clear is something needs to be done urgently a while ago the turkish president announced a special gather rain on syria in istanbul but not only between russia and turkey but also with france and germany thats what meant putting convinced his turkish counterpart that they do not need mediators and this is why we saw mr as a gun coming here to moscow kremlin and having a discussion with wagner putting. My if a national the now the executive director of the Ron Paul Peace Institute told r. T. Its in both russia and turkeys interest to ensure that this cease fire holds. We should all breathe a sigh of relief because truly russia and turkey were on the brink of direct conflict it was careening out of control and i think it was very wise to have called this bilateral meeting to hammer it out because there are the danger of it actually adding into war and possibly including nato was very real the whole issue of the of the war torn in the province is not that different in the war torn aleppo province which amazingly settled down once it was liberated from the from the control of jihad ists of extremists of alqaeda and thats the exact same thing in the province the important thing is that the m 4 in an m 5 highways will be open up thats important to certainly to russia into syria but lets also remember the air to want is having some problems back home theres a huge brawl in the Parliament Just yesterday with 2 with the parties fighting each other the opposition parties are not thrilled that everyone has essentially embedded Turkish Military forces with al qaida to serve as human shields to prevent the syrians from retaking their own territory hes gone way out on a ledge and i think hes finding himself at the end of his political rope perhaps. That story now to whistle blow us up planning a new legal challenge to the wild chemical weapons watchdog thats often o. P. C. Inquiry prompted the inspectors run loop after they went public in the wake of that study of them not to talking to you and syria 2 years ago they now want to scientific herring and accuse the watch talk of ignoring that was. Something had gone wrong inside the open c. W. Sir and we wanted you to know its that simple letters to the director of the Global Chemical weapons watchdog courtesy of the grey 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 duma and this to get their conclusions were room is on informed grown 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 records incidentally from the Western Group background whove never set foot wrong suddenly go broke did these old circumstances not ring some warning bells they sure are confident in their qualifications 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 developments 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 the response they ran into though was not very encouraging expect to be and i tried on many occasions to meet with you you may also know or perhaps know its that these requests were old annoyed 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 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 us the activities of the Fact Finding Mission were monies by your chief of cabinet from france whose views are echoed in both the narratives doesnt strike you as somewhat biased in the 3 individuals represent the 3 defendants the 3 countries who were responsible for the missile strikes in response to the allegation of the 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 of course also. Response to the claims in the meantime though we spoke to former f. B. I. Agent whistleblower riley who suspect a smear campaign. 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 the 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 are believe ability that they would have gone rogue they asked 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. And finding important facts that will deploy the navy to prevent a Fishing Vessels for entering its waters thats becoming a key Sticking Point in the practice of trade talks as explained. The town of pool on englands south coast as one of the u. K. s oldest fishing communities in the local economy relies heavily on the fisheries industry its a calm and a delicate town but life could be about to be brutally disrupted if the political rhetoric is to be believed the u. K. s tory government of warned that if their ships try to access british war to go before the royal navy to keep them out setting the stage for a confrontation on the high seas we have wasted 6 times that we think it does officially the u. K. Is currently in a socalled transition period in the goetia a should have begun which will do. Mean what kind of deal the u. K. Will leave with 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 more way 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 all both sides both sides know 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 france 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 like that i dont think it would worry that the u. K. Fishermen to talk we should have our own waters back in the past we havent adam and if its belgiums fides everyone gets bigger quote 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 book we definitely are we havent really been informed as we 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 so this would be a disaster for the fishermen of the whole to france but also for french fishermen in general. Ah but since you say obviously it is a deal or no deal if you do this i think that if you are going towards a new deal in the u. K. You know as also with the European Union not only france who say it would lose a loss anyway you know it is not in our interest so u. K. Interest of it we must find an agreement maker a president is only. Only began formally this week but already the question of fisheries could derail talks and lead to tit for tat retaliations at home both french and british fishing communities and damage relations between these long. Including thats all for now back top the out next not that crosstalk. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see that. The feeding our hopes our dreams our desires our money to compete this creates a war do we get back to you know i like you thats thats a bad deal so when this technology jumping out of this week when is that going to be helping me to keep you healthy to keep me informed or to keep me you know connected and i missed it so we will live in an area the post screen area where we will live less and all these screens and it will be more in harmony or will help us more. Hello and welcome to crossfire were all things are considered im Peter Lavelle do you believe in miracles which seems democrat
