7:07 pm
russians and the free syrian army to allow those civilians in that camp to join the humanitarian corridor and to get back to places where they want to go back to the camp is in a very dire situation only goals for the first time in months i ate a few days ago and that most people say wasn't enough the united nations has also spoken it's not part of this humanitarian corridor the syrian arab red crescent is actually part of the corridor and is there with the russian and syrian forces but we don't know if the free syrian army fighters and the russians and the syrians have an agreement to allow people out to use the corridor and the clock is ticking this humanitarian corridor is only open for twenty four hours. well elsewhere in syria the un human rights chief says two hundred families are trapped a nice old last piece of territory in the east u.s. backed the syrian democratic forces have surrounded the village of bargains and

7:09 pm
complete the revolution that he began in twenty sixteen and it's true and he came from almost nowhere. and won forty three percent of the democratic primary vote and in so doing he made ideas that once dismissed as completely to extreme for the united states he made the mainstream like universal health care and i'm fighting for equal society as far as he's concerned that the modern a more equal society even the grown of donald trump just this week for example we found out that amazon on record profits of what eleven billion dollars was going to pay any taxes because of donald trump's corporate tax rate he still thinks that message is very potent in addition because of bernie sanders the mechanism by which he could be nominated to the democratic party has changed less less focus on the a stablish what you would never want someone socially independent like bernie sanders to represent the democratic party various mechanisms of change to polling polling consistently shows he's one of the most if not the most popular active politician
7:10 pm
in the u.s. and consistently in the polls consistently show he would beat donald trump in a presidential election of course before he beats donald trump or whoever the republicans put up e.s.u. beat other democrats who would also be running for the take two thousand and sixteen it was hillary clinton who is this competition this time. well he does come into this race as the front runner of those who have declared in fact we just got this report from the sounds campaign that it raised one million dollars over three and a half hours from from the moment that he announced this morning in the u.s. . as donations from all fifty states one million dollars raise the only the only other potential candidate who is polling better than him among democratic primary voters is former vice president joe biden who has not declared yet if he does declare we will have a very similar argument or similar debate the we saw in twenty sixteen between that centrist right wing section of the democratic party versus bernie sanders who say no it's time for time for revolutionary policies the other problem that he has is
7:11 pm
many of the others who are who have and who actually declared early because they wanted to get some momentum before bernie sanders announced have taken many of his policy positions and they're younger and more diverse perhaps will telegenic. so there is that problem that he might potentially face having said that though many of these candidates don't have the wreck or the bernie sanders has many of them who now say that they're all for fighting inequality have taken billions of dollars from wall street and big pharmaceutical companies are really also the point the difference with bernie sold as always is people actually believe what he says and as we saw in the election last time around if if if the population of the electorate don't believe the count it then you're in trouble that's what hillary clinton faced last time around. with the latest from washington she had thank you and still to come here on that best toll from friday's attack in northwest nigeria has doubled to more than one hundred. and violence and abductions thousands are
