2:00 am
nomination. and we have a major announcement to start the hour, our partners at cbs news projects that former president trump will win the republican primary in the state of texas. let's look at where things stand at this hour now claimed victory in virginia, north carolina, oklahoma, where the first to report for trump, followed by tennessee, maine and now texas as well. while, presidentjoe biden has won in those six, plus vermont and massachusetts. voting continues in california, utah and alaska. super tuesday is also a crucial moment for former governor nikki haley's campaign which is hoping to slow down mr trump's momentum as the republican frontrunner. tuesday's contest is the us presidential primary�*s largest prize with more than one—third of the total delegates available expected to be awarded for both republicans and democrats.
2:01 am
we can now also report that our partners at cbs news project president biden will win the democratic primary in the state of arkansas. and to round that out in arkansas, cbs news also projects that former president trump will win the republican primary in the state of arkansas. the polls have just closed in three states — minnesota, texas and colorado. joining me live our emma vardy who's in denver, colorado. any indication of how who might when they're in colorado? i don't then they will be any huge surprises here, just as the other states results, again showing wins for donald trump, as expected and eat wins for joe biden. colorado is highly likely to be the same kind of pitch but the question for voters here is how many people
2:02 am
decided to take that box in the democratic contest for the noncommitted option, this was one of the states here that allowed a noncommitted option on the ballot for democrats as in a protest vote againstjoe biden so really, the question if people is how many votes as an option — is that option able to pick up because it is an unwonted headline forjoe biden at a time when he is hoping to be in the democratic party, the challenge donald trump in november. and any of those uncommitted voters? is november. and any of those uncommitted voters? is there any ultimately _ uncommitted voters? is there any ultimately vote _ uncommitted voters? is there any ultimately vote for - uncommitted voters? is there any ultimately vote for him i uncommitted voters? is there any ultimately vote for him in | any ultimately vote for him in the general election that it's just a protest at this point in time? , , just a protest at this point in time? , _, just a protest at this point in time? , , ., ., time? yes, sorry about that earpiece — time? yes, sorry about that earpiece trouble. _ time? yes, sorry about that earpiece trouble. i - time? yes, sorry about that earpiece trouble. i was - time? yes, sorry about that l earpiece trouble. i was asking that myself to democrats saying, if you go for this protest, doesn't that harm democratic chances overall? come november, and that was saying to me, look, we will try to push the body to say that could be an alternative tojoe
2:03 am
biden, worried about his age, don't think is the best candidate to challenge trump and this is our way to show that protest showing dissatisfaction with the weatherjoe biden has handled the israel — gaza war but they will then admit to you, yes, want to come to the general election that they will vote democrat because they were much prefer that to the alternative of voting for donald trump and republicans party so, yes, is it an anomaly which might go away for the down the track? perhaps but at the moment, it is showing that there is a witness forjoe biden and overall, what it shows, the young readers is thatjoe biden has a problem with young voters at this stage of the race, whether it's because if they had the feelings about his approach of the israel — gaza war or whether it's because they are worried about his age, that could make a difference come the general election because it's things like young voters of female voters, they could be the ones who are the real swing voters who could just make the difference in the middle because so many states in the us i've pretty much form
2:04 am
on conclusions that they will vote blue, democrat and it's all about the ones in the middle and if you're getting low turnout, lungu diaz and from young voters or others, that could give donald trump the edge and that's something thatjoe biden will not want to see even though tonight, noncommitted ballot is not common thread in his overall chancesin common thread in his overall chances in becoming the democratic nominee. 0k, thank ou for democratic nominee. 0k, thank you for that. — democratic nominee. 0k, thank you for that, we _ democratic nominee. 0k, thank you for that, we will _ democratic nominee. 0k, thank you for that, we will chat - democratic nominee. 0k, thank you for that, we will chat to - you for that, we will chat to you for that, we will chat to you later in the night. helena humphrey is pouring through the latest super tuesday results with the closing of the latest polls, she is at the touch screen, let's go with her now. just to u date let's go with her now. just to update you _ let's go with her now. just to update you then _ let's go with her now. just to update you then on - let's go with her now. just to update you then on what - let's go with her now. just to update you then on what we | let's go with her now. just to i update you then on what we are seeing in terms of delegates, ford and 84 donald trump by now, 46 for nikki haley, in terms of analysing those results we saw coming in earlier, vermont was something that haley campaign in the hopes on in terms of being able to pick up any delegates on what you will see is quite interesting results because yes, in places like
2:05 am
here, 57% of the results counted, nikki haley is in front, not by a margin for an area that is liberal, this is a state that has been loosens clinton essentially and if you down somewhere like where the nikki haley campaign would have been thinking that they could been thinking that they could be delicates within an open primary, not all of the results told but not all trump out in front still with ten precincts to go so that is something of an interesting result there, taking a look at california, just to remind people that this is the big prize tonight is 169 delegates that up for grabs and california, be it liberal, it's a closed primary so you will only have republican voters coming out so not much hope there for nikki haley particularly when it's when or take all, alabama is an
2:06 am
interesting one, not so much in terms of what we know the state does get in behind donald trump, pretty much a full—blown conclusion, we are seeing 84% with just two precincts counting but more what is the impact in relation to recent years events, for example, a couple of weeks ago, alabama's state supreme court ruling that frozen embryos created through ivf should be considered children, we know that for both donald trump and haley campaign, they had to come out quickly and clarify their position on that and it was donald trump who came out swiftly after saying that lawmakers should make sure that access to the treatment is protected and right now, can see early stage that he is still in front, what i wanted to draw people's attention on in terms of where we will start to test the strength of donald trump is utah because yes, it is conservative but in terms of what you are seeing in this population where you've got mormon voters, it will be interesting to look at somewhere like seoul they can
2:07 am
see when we know that 51% of moments in a recent poll have said they considered donald trump to be blasphemous, will that be right in the polls will we see him start to gain some traction? somejust result traction? some just result coming traction? somejust result coming in and some updates as we continue to get those results through the course of the evening. results through the course of the evening-— we mentioned at the top of the hour that donald trump is projected to win the state of texas, and we can now report that our partners at cbs news projects president biden will win the democratic primary in the state of texas. texas and california are two of the biggest prizes of the evening, with large delegate counts and major significance in november's general election. both states also share a border with mexico, and voters consistently rank immigration near the top of their concerns. president biden and former president trump visited the border last week. each blamed the other for record numbers of migrant crossings. in california, border crossings were up 60% last month — even as overall numbers of migrants entering the us dropped. sumi somaskanda has this report from san ysidro, the border crossing

2:13 am
legitimate concerns, when it comes to security, law enforcement and caring for migrants at the local level in these towns but also, where you occasionally through ——to hear frustration with the issue becoming politicised. {lin frustration with the issue becoming politicised. on that note, becoming politicised. on that note. with — becoming politicised. on that note, with current _ becoming politicised. on that note, with current a - becoming politicised. on that note, with current a call- becoming politicised. on that note, with current a call fromj note, with current a call from this to go past the politics, is that actually possible, do you think in an election year? i think it's very hard and we just saw that in the us congress recently where there was at least the outline of a bipartisan border security deal in the senate but it fell apart, partly because the former president donald trump suggested that it would have helped the current president that's running againstjoe biden to pass this bill so, of course, politics and an election year always makes this issue even more harder than it would be otherwise. and issue even more harder than it would be otherwise.— would be otherwise. and that view is unlikely _ would be otherwise. and that view is unlikely to _ would be otherwise. and that view is unlikely to change, i view is unlikely to change, really, the rest of this year?
2:14 am
of course. that sentiment, i think, is unlikely to intensify as we get into the general presidential election in texas and you have trumpean biden more directly squaring off than they haven't recently, they are both still technically going through the nominating process inside their parties, they don't face much opposition but we have not even arrived at the direct 1—to—1 matchup yet. we direct 1-to-1 matchup yet. we hear direct 1—to—1 matchup yet. we hear repeatedly when again, on capitol hill, the efforts to pass the bill for aid for ukraine, aid for israel, human tearing aid for gaza, the people say the greater national security threat that they fear is on the southern border, explained to us that logic. sure, thus increasing ideology within the republican party, especially since donald trump has come to power that the us should focus more on domestic issues versus involving itself
2:15 am
in international conflicts and i think on these, especially in the ukraine aid issue, you see that strain inside the republican party show itself and trump has really resided over that shift within the party, i would say, it feels like that is somewhat of a minority position within the party but at least when it comes to the rhetoric and the politics of it, it is getting louder. �* , ., louder. and people voted some states are _ louder. and people voted some states are 100 _ louder. and people voted some states are 100 miles _ louder. and people voted some states are 100 miles from i louder. and people voted some states are 100 miles from the l states are 100 miles from the border and still registry immigration is one of their number one issues of concern, what do they say that? i number one issues of concern, what do they say that?- what do they say that? i think there are _ what do they say that? i think there are a — what do they say that? i think there are a few— what do they say that? i think there are a few issues - what do they say that? i think there are a few issues for- there are a few issues for that, republicans would say that, republicans would say that every state has become border stayed and seen impacts of the border policies under the current president, you had efforts by the republican governor of texas to bus migrants are different democratic lead cities around
2:16 am
the country and those democratic lead cities have struggled to care for the migrants that are arriving there and so, you do have an increased national awareness of this problem, some of it is obviously due to the political gamesmanship is that ijust described what it is becoming a national awareness and not showing up in the palsy reference.— showing up in the palsy reference. ~ ., ., , reference. what do you see happening _ reference. what do you see happening from _ reference. what do you see happening from here i reference. what do you see | happening from here around reference. what do you see i happening from here around on this issue? hot happening from here around on this issue?— this issue? not much, unfortunately, - this issue? not much, unfortunately, if i this issue? not much, | unfortunately, if you're someone who wants policy progress on this, as we just mentioned, we are heading into the seat of an election year, already we have seen progress on this issue in congress and so, this is going to be an issue that there's not going to be policy progress on the election year.— be policy progress on the election year. ok, thank you for bringing _ election year. ok, thank you for bringing us _ election year. ok, thank you for bringing us up _ election year. ok, thank you for bringing us up to - election year. ok, thank you for bringing us up to speed l for bringing us up to speed with all of that. and we have two more projections coming in —
2:17 am
our partners at cbs news project president biden will win the democratic primary in the state of alabama. and once again, it's the same on the other side — cbs news projects that former president trump will win the republican primary in the state of alabama. with me is rodney davis, former republican congressman from illinois, stephanie murphy, former democratic congresswoman from florida, and the bbc�*s special correspondent katty kay. we have been saying joe biden — donald trump, no mention of nikki haley, is this her last bit of the road? i nikki haley, is this her last bit of the road?— nikki haley, is this her last bit of the road? i think it has to be. bit of the road? i think it has to be- she — bit of the road? i think it has to be. she might've - bit of the road? i think it has to be. she might've raised i bit of the road? i think it has i to be. she might've raised some money after being able to find some small victories in last few primary is, i don't know where she gets the resources here on out, remember, how then are laid out what a good knife for nikki haley would be which would be one for the ball was expected of donald trump and i would be 200 delegates, she is

2:24 am
republican voters coming out, we will not see that independent vote, that moderate vote that nikki haley has been relying on some perhaps, she might do well in areas like the bay area, san francisco but when you move into somewhere like sacramento, the state capitol, that has traditionally been the bellwether and a reminder that the result that we saw in 2016 and the republican primary, donald trump coming out in front of kasich and crusoe just a few things to be keeping your eye on throughout the course of the night. on throughout the course of the niuht. ., ., ., night. helena, will go in a moment— night. helena, will go in a moment before _ night. helena, will go in a moment before we i night. helena, will go in a moment before we go, i l night. helena, will go in a i moment before we go, i tell you because some projections coming to us from colorado, donald trump and joe biden both winning the projected to win there. that projection coming to us from cbs news, do stay with us here on bbc news, you can find the latest details and analysis on our life page and right here on the bbc news channel where we are bringing you all the news as we get it

showers into the afternoon, east wales and the midlands, and temperature wise up to around 10—11 degrees, single digits along the north sea coasts, where we have the cloud and the breeze. now, as we head through wednesday night, it looks like it stays dry for many. the showers fade away. we start to see some cloud rolling into central and eastern areas, so where we have the cloud, more of a breeze, temperatures 2—5. under clearer skies further north and west, there could be a touch of frost. for thursday, then, we have low pressure anchored out towards the west and the southwest, that area of high pressure over scandinavia just edging a bit further westward, so influencing our weather more. could start to see an east, south—easterly wind picking up further, though, so quite a breezy day to come. plenty of sunshine around away from the east coast and there will be some afternoon showers again, particularly england and wales. probably the best of the sunshine, western scotland into northern ireland, western wales — top temperatures again, 11, maybe 12 degrees. into friday, you see more isobars on the charts. it's going to be windier, a strong east, south—easterly

wind. that'll take the edge off the temperatures, push in some cloud to northern and eastern areas, particularly the northern half of the country. england and wales could at this stage see quite a bit of sunshine, but there'll always be showers loitering close to the southwest. and a windy day to come for all — gusty winds, particularly windy across the south and the east thanks to that south—easterly wind. so, chillier along eastern coastal areas, up to around 11 or 12 further west. into the weekend, low pressure loiters to the southwest of the country, trying to push its way northwards, so it will introduce further showers or even longer spells of rain for southern and western areas. we could start to see a few showers developing further north and east as well. it will remain quite windy, with our wind coming in from the east or the southeast. that's it for me. take care.
