longer than we expected and so but and my paramount concern is making sure that these results are accurate and reflect what happened last night in caucuses across the state we're going to do just that and that's we're going to take the time we need to do that. we have one i have no knowledge of the department of homeland security making that offer to us i will say that we have worked with the cyber security experts national renowned cyber security experts to test the sap and to do testing and security checks on this app so we have we took the steps we felt was necessary but we found a coding error last night once we discovered some irregularities as the results

start to come in yeah. what. no there weren't and that's why and that is why the that's why what happened last night is simply unacceptable and so again we're going to have a thorough in independent review of exactly what happened last night we still right now we're in the process of making sure that we get these results out and that's what we're going to stay focused on. we have said all along that we were going to make these caucuses the most transparent possible this year we're reporting out more data than we ever ever reported before in addition to that we have paper trails that we've never had before and so we're going to take the time we need to verify these results but

these results are being based off what happened in the precincts last night. when i ran for chair i made a commitment to see the caucus process through that is what i'm working on that is what i will continue to work on and whatever happens after that is to be determined anyways thank you all folks the results are coming in we will see you later. so that was try to price have a chair of the iowa democratic party explaining after a chaotic night in iowa where the results have still not been announced that it had been the delay in reporting results was unacceptable he said if they'd hit a stumbling block but they knew that the results were accurate he said it this is been due to a coding error and they would be giving out shortly 62 percent of precincts for all $99.00 counties but they would be still working out what the rest of the results are and they said they would take the time they need to vote verify everything

let's bring in an official who's in des moines to say it's been an extraordinary situation in iowa and the party itself is just described as unacceptable. and it sounds as if the democratic party chairman is going to offer his resignation at the end of it when he says that i said i would see the caucus process through. there will be people in the campaigns who are wondering why they're releasing 62 percent of the results why not just wait get 100 percent and then put them over with the paper trail because people will look at 62 percent and that's not going to be the full picture so it continues to be a mess and when donald trump says he was the only one and last night he's not kidding because this just looks really bad for the democratic party that they can't organize 170000 people is what they were expecting we're not sure that was the full term no we'll find that out in the next 20 minutes or so i guess but this is just

been a catastrophic error a real you know it's the 1st step on the road to the white house for the democrats to try and beat donald trump and it has been a catastrophic misstep for them and people won't forget this easily it's interesting that among the questions that they're talking about whether or not or attains its 1st the nation status. the reality is that that's going to be under threat no because people want to move away from the fact that they've mishandled this just gives them more ammunition and the war i mean this is the other thing that seems strange is that as you mentioned as they are they're going to not 62 percent of the results but he then wouldn't be drawn on how long it would take to get the rest of it as a result verified so this could go on potentially for days. it's interesting lauren that you see one of the other things that seem strange as if there were only 2 things that seems to this whole process of the conspiracy theorists are online are saying look this is rick this shows this is rigged there's

enough bending supporters who believe that the whole process was rigged last time around and the certainly evidence to suggest that it wasn't conducted in the most transparent way bernie sanders has been quick to say look we don't think there's a problem with the way they're doing it it's just a shame that they haven't got the results so quickly but that's not going to stop the conspiracy theorists and interestingly enough we're seeing mainly from the trump campaign but that's been amplified then by trump campaign supporters that if there's a delay in the result that must mean that this result is being rigged it just makes it really difficult for all the campaigns now for many of them in fact for all of them iowa is in the rearview mirror they've moved on to new hampshire they're campaigning there because there is no result that is a load everyone to turn around and see what a great night we had in iowa even the joe biden campaign which looks as if it may come forth possibly even 5th joe biden is in new hampshire as we speak saying well 2 we had a good night in iowa and we're going to get even better here in new hampshire so

this is just for the democrats it looks and i'm sorry to interrupt you want to but a with with getting some measures out coming in now and it looks. ahead just marry head of a sound is that was that expected and listen to these are obviously partial results while. yeah. certainly from what we were seeing last night from the airlie precincts where people were on the ground and reporting to the news agencies and organizations like the new york times people to judge was ahead in the early returns if this continues this way that is going to mean more upset for the democratic party because there are enough bernie sanders supporters who believe that the democratic party isn't fully behind the idea of sanders. winning the nomination we had john kerry

a former nominee himself former secretary of state seeing in a hotel here in iowa in the last few days that it looks as if bernie sanders is going to be the nominee then he will get into the fight that as far as many barely supporters of concerned is the establishment walking against the grassroots of the party so if this turns out to be the final result and people to judge when's we know he's had a good campaign we thought he was going to do well but if it ends up he talks bernie sanders this is just does going to cause more chaos in the democratic party and the biggest beneficiary of that will be the trump campaign you know donald trump's having a really good week he's got 97 cents of percent support here in the iowa caucuses there's a new report out today that puts his approval rating at the highest ever and he's about to speak to tens of millions of americans by delivering the state of the union speech in a couple of hours and the democratic party seems to be in disarray from

a very small caucus sample so the big winner here is donald trump says is donald trump really the democratic party needs to get these results all 100 percent of them quickly or all it's going to do is fuel the conspiracy theorists online and leave many many people disappointed by this whole process even more disappointed than they are now analogous to recap so we've got to go out there but to change leading the caucus then it saunders then warren in 3rd and biden in 4th if biden is in 4th place what does it mean for his campaign. but he struggles salute the struggles this is a guy who campaigned on electability he will go to new hampshire i've just seen that the political action committee that supports him is going to spend millions shoring up his support in new hampshire he's got to get a top 3 finish here if he doesn't he's in big trouble he believes that he will do

well with latino supporters and latino supporters in the vibe that he will do well with african-american supporters in south carolina but if he finishes the top 4 in new hampshire it makes it very difficult for him and then he's got to do well in the vida and so carolina so for the man who said look elect me i'm the one guy that can beat donald trump he's in he's in trouble i mean he can put briefly senate but he's in trouble his campaign is in trouble interesting thing as well lorne because we haven't heard all the results and remember of the 11 people who want the democratic nomination 10 of them were here in in iowa michael bloomberg didn't go on the ballot so wasn't involved last night but normally after a caucus in a primary we get people saying well my effort just isn't viable no one has dropped out because they all think they're viable because no one's seen the final results it's a mess it's just i've never seen anything like it it's a real mess and the democratic party are responsible for not testing the up as we

had not counting the checks and just not getting the results quickly as they should do feels like hanging chads all over again isn't it alan. anyway thank you very much indeed for the time being and just have a quick recap on those as results so iowa caucus these as i stress partial results the democratic party says they've got 62 percent of the precincts counted and this would be voted in 1st place bernie sanders in 2nd elizabeth warren inserted and after that it is biden in 4th position and these are as i stress the partial results of that iowa caucus where they've had problems as they put it a stumbling block and a coding area which has meant that the whole process has been delayed. what all this as in a few hours president trump john of his his state of the union address on the eve of his expected impeachment acquittal he's likely to use the speech as

a reelection thoughtful fixing on jobs and the economy president jordan joins us live from washington d.c. so the backdrop is quite peculiar isn't it for a state of the union speech it is because the impeachment trial in the u.s. senate is still underway there is a vote expected on wednesday on whether to convict or acquit the president of the 2 charges that it is facing him a spokesperson at the white house said on tuesday afternoon that he is not expected to address the impeachment trial during his state of the union address on tuesday evening now while the president guess who will be sitting with his wife molony a tromp tend to represent a very conservative platform school choice supporting the military the anti iran foreign policy agenda as well as supporting venezuela or the efforts to what change the government of venezuela the call from congressional democrats is for the

president to try to reach across the aisle this is maryland senator ben cardin speaking a short while ago i hope you'll bring us together as a country and recognize that america is divided and we need to have unity in dealing with the issues that affect our country divestiture plea and internationally so i hope he will reach out and strike a balance and show that america strength is in our unity and promoting our values. one other point that the president is expected to touch on at least as evidenced by the guests who will be sitting in the 1st lady's box on tuesday evening is the idea of closing the u.s. as borders to immigration to restricting the number of people who can come into the country as well as centrally picking and choosing from which countries new immigrants might come so that might not appeal to those democrats who are calling

on the president to try to bridge the ever widening gap social and political gap here in the united states thank you very much indeed. my. china has admitted shortcomings in its response to the corona virus outbreak several asian countries have recorded more cases of the coronavirus in people who have not traveled from china but the world health organization says it's not an international pandemic it's calling it an epidemic with a number of hotspots but says it's showing no signs of mutation and is proving quite stable. when you deal with epidemic you regularly sees that in addition to the epidemic of diseases we often have an epitome of information and this is what we call intraday mick and it's really an e.p. dimmick of rumors of false information that is circulating at the same time and

we are sort of they're not addressing this public health concern adequately and suddenly i don't agree with the allegation that we are putting politics above public health the economic fallout from this emergency has spread to the nearby gambling hub of macau popular with mainland tourists all casinos will be closed for 2 weeks in a new hand a new hospital built in just 9 days has begun treating patients another 3 mobile hospitals are being assembled in a rare move china's government has appealed to the outside world for help saying vital medical equipment is needed including more face masks and protective clothing for medical workers doctors also say there's a shortage of testing kits are in another unusual development china's top leadership has admitted to shortcomings and failures in its response to the crisis the politburo standing committee chaired by president xi jinping warned that

rock's government is trying to encourage its citizens to switch from using imported fuel to locally produced gas or new public transport vehicles must run on liquefied petroleum gas but despite awareness campaigns and subsidies users are reluctant to move away from traditional fuel for summer binge of aid in baghdad explains why. that's the sound of a cleaner start. taxi now runs on iraqi produce liquefied petroleum gas or p.g. is daily fuel cost is nearly a 3rd of what he used to pay for regular petrol. for sure it is more economical and hence more profitable insident paying $16.00 per day for fuel now a pair run $6.00. it's mandatory for new public transport vehicles to install m.p.g. kits although the law was passed in 2016 it was only implemented a year ago the oil ministry subsidizing the installation instead of
