challenge but in an environment driven by trends where responsibly make clothes may become the ultimate fashion statement. we just run and we run because. an emphatic victory for joe biden in south carolina giving his bid to be the democratic presidential candidate the boost it needed. martine dennis you know with al-jazeera life and also coming out. show healthy people if you're healthy. you will probably. go through a process and you'll be for the president tries to reassure americans after the u.s. recalls its 1st coronavirus death. a passenger from the diamond princess

cruise ship is the 1st to die in australia from the virus and thailand's also reported its 1st. tussle at the top in malaysia continues even as a new prime minister is sworn in. as one the south carolina democratic primary securing almost half the votes with bernie sanders coming a distant 2nd he got about 20 percent of the votes biden's victory may give him the momentum he needs going into super tuesday when 14 states head to the polls and gallagher reports from columbia in south carolina. he spent weeks fighting to keep his campaign alive but on saturday former vice president joe biden was back in the race

a few months ago victory in south carolina was a foregone conclusion but both bernie sanders and billionaire tom steyer made inroads that threatened barden's bid for the democratic ticket now though joe biden's campaign is alive and kicking thank you thank you. thank you south carolina i. was out thanks to all of your own heart of the democratic primary we just won and we won big because of. the bidens victory ends bernie sanders winning streak after he emerged as the front runner in the 1st 3 contests the senator from vermont finished 2nd and he's now looking to super tuesday when 14 states in american samoa hold their primaries that look out for a 3rd of the pool of delegates a potentially game changing day in u.s. politics tonight we did not win in south carolina. and i will not preview only the 3 there are

a lot of states in this country nobody wins them all joe biden downplayed his early losses instead focusing on more diverse state his campaign received a crucial endorsement when congressman james clyburn the most powerful democratic politician in south carolina endorsed him just 3 days before the vote that seal of approval pushed undecided african-american vote is a crucial voting bloc here to back biden let's get back i. was a racist people we can't believe again one of them his mama we're proud of this president so get our take back our country this is the united states of america there's nothing beyond our capacity if we do it together elizabeth warren and pete but a judge trailed the park with disappointing results joe biden's referred to south carolina and its large population of black democratic voters as his fire wall and its held steadfast for a campaign now when you'd say this was

a boost for joe biden's campaign would be an understatement the 1st states in the democratic primaries has given the former vice president the kind of legitimacy and the mention he needs many establishment figures in the democratic party have been looking for. margaret to take on the sunday now they may have found the gallic are all to syria columbia south carolina where the billionaire told him stay came in. carolina has now dropped out of the race but faces have been a major target of his campaign the environmentalist spent more than $18000000.00 he's been a fierce critic of president trump and will trade himself as a political outside. well i've been speaking to the am because this is super fessor of political science and how would you invest scene she says black women voters played a pivotal role in biden's victory. well i think it tells us that the bad campaign is very much alive in that black voters will be decisive particularly black women i

think that was one of the things that went under and recognize i mean we talk about the black vote but i don't think we talk enough about black women who have been really steadfast supporters of the democratic party and have shown themselves time and again to turn out to largely saved the party in certain respects so i think this was a big victory for joe biden but it was also a big victory for black women but i think it will be probably by july when the convention is held in milwaukee a dead heat between joe biden and bernie sanders because no one is projected to have a majority of the delegates they're going to need by the time the convention comes so i think it will be a knockdown drag out fight and i think bernie sanders has not proven himself to older black voters yet i think a young people are very much in thrall with his campaign but he has not been able to prove to black folks who've been around for a very long time that he is the man and black voters are also very pragmatic i think bernie sanders has a lot of ideas and certainly he speaks to many of their interests but i don't know

that black voters trust that he has the political capital to get it done as a black voters a very pragmatic voters they have to be our very lives depend on it and we know that sometimes we can't count on just big ideas we need to pick the person that will do the least harm. it also potentially do the most good that we can count on and saying in the u.s. but on another major story in a state of emergency has been declared in the state of washington after a man died there of coronavirus president trump has called for calm after confirming the 1st death in the u.s. from the disease the white house also announced additional travel restrictions on iran italy and south korea which of immersion is major hotspots the president's also considering closing the border with mexico despite mexico only having 4 confirmed cases additional cases in the united states are likely but healthy individuals should be able to fully recover. and we think that will be

saved and that we can make with great surety now that we've gotten from e.u. with this problem they should be able to recover should they contract a virus so healthy people if you're healthy. you will probably. go through a process and you'll be fine and as our correspondent rolls in jordan now reports the 1st death from corona virus in the u.s. is raising questions about exactly how the disease is transmitted. we don't know how old this person was infected but washington state officials did say that the man who was in his fifty's did have preexisting health conditions and infectious disease experts say those are the people who are most at risk of contracting the virus and having an adverse effect from it from becoming very very sick or possibly

dying from corona virus for everyone else people who are generally considered healthy they might develop worst a bad cold or a moderate cold but their immune systems are supposedly strong enough to withstand the virus now we don't know anything more about where this man had been before he was exposed to the virus and that is something which infectious disease experts are now trying to determine they're particularly concerned because there have been at least 3 or 4 counties it's now on the u.s. west coast where there wasn't any prior travel to a country where the disease has infected hundreds of people notably china or south korea or italy those are the 3 countries that have the largest numbers of cases right now. or thailand and australia have now reported their fasts deaths from the virus imperf a 78 year old man died to contract in the virus on the diamond princess cruise ship

is wife is also being treated for the virus she is one of 25 people in australia currently in corinth and the death brings a global toll to almost 3000. now after more than 18 years of war a deal between the u.s. and the taliban has put afghanistan on the path to what many people hope will be a permanent peace one of the key components also deal is a plan for a complete withdrawal of all u.s. and nato troops within the space of 14 months but that is contingent upon the taliban keeping its part of the agreement a summer binge of age reports. we destroy could happen a new chapter may have opened for afghanistan the united states has agreed on a deal that could see the complete withdrawal of its troops from its longest running war in the next 14 months.

we recognize america should fight in perpetuity in the graveyard of empires if we can help afghans forge peace. and we have respect we believe that the afghan people are ready to shirk their own course forward. for the past 18 months the taliban and the u.s. government have been negotiating in qatar finally agreeing on a plan aimed at cementing a permanent peace as part of the deal the taliban will not allow god to be used by al qaida and it will continue to fight against isis and. the 7 day reduction of violence last week with a test for them now comes a test for the u.s. commitment it must facilitate the release of 5000 taliban prisoners in a matter of days. we are committed to this agreement to a force that the afghan nation has been suffering for the past 4 decades we have suffered tremendously and i hope that with the withdrawal of all foreign forces from afghanistan that the afghan nation under the assad government will embark on

a new prosperous life while the deal was signed in doha a ceremony was also taking place in the afghan capital of kabul u.s. secretary of defense and nato chief south lawn side the president his government wasn't part of the negotiations and the taliban still doesn't recognize that but under the u.s. taliban deal the afghan government asked the u.n. security council to lift sanctions on the taliban i want agenda for discussion with the taliban be wider than their discussions with the united states. they should be ready to discuss their relationship with their state and non states sponsors a verifiable system for cutting off their ties with all transnational terrorist groups their dependence and involvement the narcotics and other transnational criminal organizations positivity the foreign minister from neighboring pakistan with longstanding ties to the taliban was in doha for the signing we have nothing to hide. cross-product can be open so. far

housing. being a positive for a good country due to the positive. there was a big contingent of taliban in doha to show their support for the deal they say it is all due. today is a huge historic day a similar day like today was celebrated by and says a century ago after defeating on the brits and then 30 years ago for defeating the soviets today we witness al leadership signing a withdrawal deal of occupying american forces and victory deal of the holy warriors. the us government says victory will be achieved when the afghan people live with no fear in foreign forces are not afraid of attacks they said this was history in the making real chance for lasting peace in afghanistan and the signing is a stepping stone towards it but all parties to the conflict realize that there is real work for lasting peace in afghanistan has just begun osama bin job without the 0.

for raising issues of corruption when m.t.b. but now in the sort of wrangling that's happened in the last week or so in malaysia he's joined forces with the same person in the same party that he was sacked from and issues he stood up for now he seems to be making alliances with many believe the latest crisis was also part of a tussle for power between him and his long time rival abraham analysts say the coalition was torn apart by infighting over who should succeed who at 94 was the world's oldest premiers on earlier on saturday and was said he'd back man had his return to power but now neither man is leader and the recalls for protests might hear boycotted the swearing in ceremony and is determined to fight back saying he has more support to lead victoria there are. right now we can.

his senior fellow at the singapore institute of international affairs he's joining us now from the malaysian capital plan and 1st of all i had to mohamed challenging the legitimacy of the new prime minister is this they're desperate to attempt of a drowning man or does he actually have a point or he would have here that not them are you currently would have. made your review so ready. i think that made your review was perhaps cobbled together. a bit late now and b. if you had a site normally you can cite what's the brits and the malaysian ringback being. and not the least of all parliamentarians. sorry. malaysia is the parliament feet democracy saw. in perhaps what have. you cited

and. the power is there you. also. post. but i'll just say the king is with the site it is very complex there revolving door in the shifting alliances in malaysian politics but tell me what difference does it actually make having the leader of best satu coalition as prime minister and bringing oh no back to power as part of a coalition what kind of difference is this new era of deans a prime ministership to that of most. well. the coalition which conducts a mock when he was prime minister was a mile high ratio of cards nation we have interests all the various companies the malaysia in mind not the new correlation that i read in yes the. well

then they told me that by one race i mean that my late great we. read must needs parties such. as. the just the extremist part the thoughts that song i think a lot of malaysians with a thing that the actions as to why there would be or even risky policy is that it's on the big low rollouts like on the right and what do we know then about miss him again i mean we know he's been involved in malaysian politics an awful long time but what do we know about him in terms of his policy priorities. that's exactly the problem we don't quite know about here on the priority issue because even though he has been the only nation fall off i think what they. were as not being exactly well known paul. paul leave it be a night next thing progress people always be so we have 2 parties we can't mention
