message. a lot of the speculation in recent days over the past days has proven correct that so far the police have not specifically said that faycal c is the man in the image. there has been a lot of reporting in the belgian media, was that faycal c is faycal cheffou, a man man posing as ben media. they believe he is the third plan in that image. >> jacky rowland from be brussels. few hundred miles away from those demonstrations in the city of lahor, pakistani christians and muslims are bureauying their

>> reporter: the largely white, liberal democratic elect rats in those pacific states are the kind of voters sanders had done well among throughout his campaign. while hillary clinton had this a strong following in more diverse states including ohio, florida and north carolina. >> the only guy standing up for us the average person or even everybody is bernie sanders. so i'm going with sanders. >> the system is broken and there's really only one candidate that will not try to go through incremental change, he'll try to make a lot of change at once. >> reporter: but even after the trio of wins, sanders still lags far behind clinton in the all important delegate count. it takes 2383 delegates to win the nomination. clinton has 1234 pledged delegates. sanders hap has 956.

sanders would have to win 56% of all the remaining activity in >> i think we'll end up with more pledged delegates than secretary clinton. >> i know the stakes get high are by the day. >> reporter: because the delegates are awarded proportionally, clinton will pick up diligence in proirms shs she loses. new york, hillary clinton represented for eight years in the u.s. senate and in pennsylvania where she achieved a significant victory back in 2008 in her nomination battle with barack obama. rob reynolds, al jazeera, washington. >> lincoln mitchell joins us from san francisco.

lincoln, thank you as always for your time. >> my pleasure. >> bernie sanders says he has the momentum. is that true? >> well clearly he has the momentum. whether he's going to have the delegates, is a separate question. momentum is what candidates say when in sports, they don't have anything else to say. momentum can be easily overstate. >> would more debates help him or would it help secretary clinton? who would it help? >> it's not clear. hillary clinton is a very good debater, we've seen that over and over again. calling for more debates is a symbolic challenge of the narrative hey i'm being pushed off the stage. unless he's more prepared to talk about things like foreign policy which i think are potential strengths for him, but he hasn't been able to exploit, doesn't know how to talk about

them. it's more likely to freeze the debate more than anything else. >> you are right a lot of people don't see it that way. how do you see it? >> as i see it, the core message of bernie sanders on foreign policy that the u.s. and u.s. military is not answer to every problem that faces the world. and a hawkish approach to foreign policy is not what our country needs. hillary clinton is much closer to being a foreign policy hawk. ideologically or potentially that could be an advantage for bernie sanders. he's not able to talk about it and when it is, he gives surface answers, goes back to criticizing hillary clinton for a mistake she made in 2002 when she voted for the iraq war. her deep deep knowledge of every aspect of fortune policy some thus for sanders turning a

strength into a weakness. >> secretary of staten john kerry said the presidential race lincoln has caused awkward questions for him overseas. in fact he told face the nation on cbs worldwide that people are shocked by the presidential campaign. listen to this. >> it upsets people's sense of continuuequilibrium, to some dei must say to you some of the questions the way they're posed to me it's clear to me that what's happening is an embarrassment to our country. >> lincoln are you shocked by the comments from the secretary or is that something you would expect to be happening? >> i've actually experience they'd myself. i think secretary is largely right in that this is kind of an embarrassment to the country. however i think he's wrong how steadily people view the united states but he's the secretary of state. i've recently been in a country with a history of not great elections, will it be fraudulent

will it be fair. and for the first time in that country i had more questions about what the heck was going on in the united states rather than what to expect in the next election there. i think in john kerry's comments the ones you quoted there are very delicate. the real issue is the rise of donald trump. the candidate who says we should get out of nato without knowing what maybe nato is, and keeping all muslims out of the united states. this is an embarrassment, our allies should be concerned about a trump presidency as should all americans. >> released a transcript and olot of people have dissected it and just objectivively speaking not even the politics of it there are a lot of things in there he just factually just gok wrong. got wrong. do his supporters care about that? >> i was on the faculty of columbia university for eight

years. hillary clinton knows so much. i'm not going to say what donald trump would have received in my class but i have a son who is ajunior in high school and if somebody came to his international relations class that ill-prepared he wouldn't have passed. it's embarrassing how little donald trump knows about foreign policy, but that ignorance is a core appeal and a core principle of the trump campaign. so not only do his voters not care that he really probably doesn't know the difference between i don't know, nato and the osce or something like that, but it is a matter of pride and they think that actually knowing that is a sense of weakness or internationalism or something. so his ignorant isn't hurting him at least in the primary. >> lincoln, good to see you. we like seeing you in the studio but we know we can't have you all the time. thank you. my pleasure. the politician rob bla

and were be diverse in ethnic background. >> ann alex, cedric, and yo euge williams. black and latinoa alderman had hopes of make the announcement from within the department. a spokesma spokesman confirmed it's unclear whether the mayor's looking to ultimately give the job to johnson or if the move was to force the police board to come one a second round of candidates. under city code the mayor's required to select the candidate

selected by the board but rejecting the three candidates resets that process. hermela aregawi, al jazeera. every two hours, someone walk is struck and killed by a car in the u.s. and often the driver is not punished for the crime. >> running people over is not an accident. it is a homicide and should be treated as a homicide. >> up next some stricter punishment for drunk drivers. and lawsuit over a controversial north carolina law.

misdemeanor. shortly afterwards, the dmv reinstated his license. sewel admitted at the scene he might have felt lightheaded and was unclear whether it was safe for him to drive. why have you not charged the defendant with reckless driving? victor's case is not exceptional. in cases where drugs and alcohol are not a factor, it's not unusual for drivers who kill or injure pedestrians are given little or no punishment. >> i am dumbfounded, it's shock being to see so many die or are injured on a crosswalk and no one gets wra with anything moree than a misdemeanor. >> a spokesperson told al

jazeera: new york state traffic safety resource prosecutor joe mccormick have been dealing with reckless driving cases for 20 years. >> the criminally negligent homicide statute is worded like many other states but our court interpretations of that statute are dramatically more restrictive. they require a moral blame worthiness of that doesn't appear in the statute. >> game change bill, introduced last year in the new york state legislature it would bring felony charges against unlicensed drivers or those driving on a suspended license who serials injur seriously injl
