welcome to bbc news. i'm katty kay, live in new hampshire, where results are coming in from the democratic primary. here with jane o'brien. bernie sanders appears to be in the lead, with pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar not far behind. it looks like another bad night forjoe biden. and andrew yang says he will suspend his campaign. michael bennett also says he will suspend his campaign. i'm lewis vaughan jones in london. our other main story: a new name, but the same threat, the death toll rises from what is now the covid—19 outbreak.

welcome to new hampshire, where we are getting results now from the first in the nation's primary vote that took place here today. bernie sanders, the democratic senator from vermont is in the lead. we are still getting results as well from the rest of the state, but so far we know that pete buttigieg from south bend indiana, is in second place and amy klobuchar, perhaps the surprise of the evening, senatorfrom minnesota. a veryjubilant evening, senatorfrom minnesota. a very jubilant amy klobuchar talking about her happy scrappy campaign, resilience, decency, unity, let's listen to what she has been saying. we are going to south carolina! cheering. and we are taking this message of unity to the country.

cheering. we know in our hearts that in a democracy it is not about the loudest voice, but the biggest bank account. it is about the best idea and about the person who can turn those ideas into action. cheering. we know that we cannot win big by trying to our divide the divider in chief. we know that we when by bringing people in with us instead of shutting them out. donald trump's worst nightmare is that the people in the middle, the people who have had enough of the name—calling and the mudslinging have someone and the mudslinging have someone to vote for in november. cheering. amy klobuchar who is now going on to south carolina where we understand she is already strengthening her campaign. we ci’oss strengthening her campaign. we cross live to chris buckler who is at her headquarters. chris,

she has made an appeal to unity. is that the secret, is that why she is doing so well right now? yeah, she was introduced on stage as the come back did. and she does have the feel of somebody who, all of a sudden, feels like something of a contender in this. and she made clear in her speech that she believes that's because she can really motivate fired up democrats and what she described as moderate republicans. it is this message of attempting to bring unity to america as she can appeal to those voters who lent their support to donald trump in 2016 and she argues that they can bring it back. and, of course, thatis bring it back. and, of course, that is setting their campaign against those of elizabeth warren and bernie sanders, who are appealing to the progressive left, trying to bring democratic voters out from the left. and instead she is saying we can bring back those moderates in the middle, we can bring people over. on the fundamental message that came through in that speech,

time and time again, as we can be to donald trump. that is the argument here. and, presumably, this has given her a big list when it comes to fundraising. yeah. and that was part of the whole idea that she will go on to the nevada august, she will go on to south carolina company primary. and we have seen a couple of candidates who have dropped out this evening. 41 this is a big moment, because it looks like she is back in the field, leapfrogging both joe biden and elizabeth warren. in fact, elizabeth warren, she mentioned here, had to make mentioned here, had to make mention of her, saying it was good to see a woman can do well in this race and that a woman could be donald trump. and, certainly, you get the impression that if amy klobuchar has a success it may well be at the expense of both elizabeth warren and joe biden. so, chris, she moves onto nevada, she moves on to south carolina, those are very

different states from iowa and new hampshire where she has done well so far, they are different partly because they have larger populations of minority democratic voters, hispanics and african—americans. when you look at amy klobuchar in the polling with african—american voters, she is not doing so well. can she replicate what she has done in iowa, what she has done today in new hampshire, in those of the states 7 hampshire, in those of the states? you know, i think is going to be difficult and i think she recognises that, but she believes she is in with a chance, and that is because she has a bit of momentum. if you look at some of the statistics that have come from the exit poll, she is doing well with white, college educated women, doing well with the over 45 age group, perhaps younger and more racially diverse places than new hampshire and iowa are going to be difficult for amy klobuchar. at the same time it has put her back in the field. you do get the impression that the campaign went into new hampshire on a bit of a down

after what happened in the iowa caucus. she was very clearly in fifth place. there were four people fighting it out. all of a sudden in new hampshire has become a 3—way race at least for this primary and she is in with a shot in that 3—way race and seems to have done very well. chris buckler at amy klobuchar‘s very happy headquarters this evening stop she is the surprising story of the night. within and looking like third in new hampshire. the person coming in first, bernie sanders, the democratic senator from vermont. for more on this, i am joined from bernie sanders' campaign rally by jon sopel. do they feel they are getting the attention they deserve out of new hampshire, because bernie sanders was expected to do well here? welcome i was think if you are is the daughter of a political party or you are a candidate

you think that your person to be getting much more attention, much more support than they do. and there is an element in which bernie sanders is the outsider. he is the most left—wing progressive or liberal, whichever phrase you wa nt to liberal, whichever phrase you want to use, of all the candidates and there is a sense that the establishment democratic party is against him, but, yes, once again, like four years ago, he is out in front. unlike four years ago this looks like a much tighter race. eye kind of thought we might have had a declaration from bernie sanders a little while ago if he was going to smash it and knock it out of the park, it is to close to do that so they are waiting for more and more votes to pile—up. i think that bernie sanders, of all the candidates, has run the most consistently focused campaign on his 60 message, he has enormous enthusiasm at his rallies that a lot of the other candidates have struggled to achieve. and he has core belief that people seem to like, ridiculously the young voters

who have once again turned out in large numbers to support him. john sobel, thank you very much. the person who isn't waiting for the votes to be counted is joe biden. waiting for the votes to be counted isjoe biden. he has already left dodge and is in south carolina. and rather bizarrely he has been giving something that sounds rather like a victory speech, even though he is the person who was doing the most badly. let us listen to what he has been saying. so, mr president, instead of talking about impeaching barack 0bama, you should be saying, thank you, president 0bama. thank you, thank you, thank. but, folks, look, we have so much more to do. they promise you as your president you will be partners and shaping the policy and making sure every single american has an opportunity. the thing they have never liked ni was chairman of the judiciary committee for many years, i don't know what you need best, i listen. you will, the leaders

of the black community, know what you need best. we don't listen enough. we take for granted. you know what you need. you know what your families need. and i've never not listened to you. first we need to defend and build on 0bamacare. donald trump wants to get rid of it. even some of the folks in my own outfit in the folks in my own outfit in the primary want to take it away. but i will never let that happen. joe biden there. look at that group of people behind him. far more diverse than the group of people you might find at a new hampshire rally or an iowa rally. john sobel still with us. rally. john sobel still with us. they know you are at the bernie sanders campaign but they want to ask you aboutjoe biden. i spoke to a senior campaign advise of his last night who told me we are definitely going through south carolina. there is ridiculous that the democratic party is choosing a candidate before we have had a chance to vote in a state that has a large african—american or hispanic

ablation. those are the areas we do well. but you look at the latest polling forjoe biden amongst african americans in south carolina, his approval rating is halved in the course of the last ten days. african—american voters, like white voters and hispanic voters, want to choose a candidate who can win. are they starting to look, in the african—american communities, ourjoe biden and think maybe he is not such a winner after all? i thinkjoe biden is a sort of running on fumes, his campaign. he is singing to keep his spirits up. look, ifjoe biden was doing anything like halfway well he would have been having a victory party or a party here in new hampshire. instead of which he cut and run this morning, suddenly announcing there was no event this evening and he was going straight to south carolina for not that was a sure sign of just how badly he has been doing. and, yes, new hampshire,

iowa, are not as diverse as south carolina or nevada. at the point as he has got to win voters and he has been singularly failing to get a message across. and they have gone to his rallies and, you know what this is like, you have got to cut a piece for the news. you are listening to this speech, you are thinking what is the 20 seconds of really uplifting message where there is applause at the end and he delivers the sound bite fluidly and you think that's it. there haven't been those moments for joe biden. yes, his great on the stop meeting people. he is very human, extremely up approachable, he is very warm and user—friendly. but articulating a clear message about why he wants to win in 2020 has been much more problematic. he may come in for fear. this is his third attempt at run for the presidency —— fifth here. so far in a caucus ora fifth here. so far in a caucus or a primary, i'm fifth here. so far in a caucus ora primary, i'm told he fifth here. so far in a caucus or a primary, i'm told he has not come higher than fourth. he has a problem with his campaign. and the problem intensifies in all us political

campaigns if you start running out of money. and if the polls studies suggest that don't believe you can win, the big—money donors will pull out faster —— started to suggest will stop i think south carolina is joe biden‘s will stop i think south carolina isjoe biden‘s last chance. john sobel there. thank you very much. for more on this, i am joined from pete buttigieg's rally by nick bryant. i want to bring you when on that thought we were having withjohn sobel that thought we were having with john sobel about african—american voters. because of african—american voters are starting to turn away from joe biden, is the latest polls in south carolina suggest that they are, where do they go? do they potentially go to the young man from south bend, indiana? well, he struggled to get much support at all from african—american voters. it has been one of the big problems of his campaign so far. a problem thatjoe biden

actually focused on in that attack and he ranjust actually focused on in that attack and he ran just before this new hampshire primary, mentioning the fact that as mayor of south bend indiana he sacked the black police chief, he sacked the african—american fire department chief, there are policing issues in south bend, indiana that relate to race. it is thought that he did not handle them very well at all. that is his problem going into south carolina for sure. a footnote on joe biden, into south carolina for sure. a footnote onjoe biden, he ran in1988, in footnote onjoe biden, he ran in 1988, in 2008, he has never even come close to winning a primary or a caucus and you sense, and we have seen him on the stump, you sense he has done his dash. yeah. i think you are right aboutjoe biden. things can change in south carolina. he could have a stumping win in south carolina and in nevada. we can change the story. the race is pretty fluid. it has been a campaign

that has been kind of lacklustre. 0nly save candidate doesn't look very safe anymore. but is pete buttigieg that save candidate? if bernie sanders is emerging as to left wing for the centre of the democratic party, for the centre of america, is where the safety now in the democratic party? well, he will say he is now the frontrunner of the moderates. what they didn't get in new hampshire of course is clarity on that front. we have had clarity on the left of this rate stop it is clear bernie sanders is the standardbearer of the democratic left. elizabeth warren's vote has absolutely collapsed in new hampshire, a state that neighbour ‘s home state of massachusetts. what we have in the middle is model. pete buttigieg looks like he will come second. but amy klobuchar has had a very strong third performance based on that strong performance in the debate on friday night. he was

hoping to come to new hampshire, ideally, and when it. but if he didn't win it he was hoping to become a clear second and for the choice to become sanders or pete buttigieg. but they haven't got that tonight. it is still a muddle in the middle as to which moderate people will go for. thank you very much for now and we will of course come back to you when pete buttigieg speaks and we are waiting for bernie sanders to also speak as well. the other person of course who could divide the moderate vote is... the one person not actually hear. former new york mayor, mike bloomberg. i asked klobuchar supporters if they felt he was a threat to her considering her surge in the polls and they felt he could actually be an asset to the party because all of the money he is spending, all of those $34 billion in california and elsewhere establishes a campaign base of something that

any candidate can actually use, evenif any candidate can actually use, even if they don't get the nomination. by the way, he has said he will spend a huge amount of money in this democratic race whoever is the nominee, even if he is not the nominee. so keep your eyes on a michael bloomberg. who was the maia of new york city, not of south bend indiana. we will bring you more of the results as we get them and are still waiting, as we said earlier, for bernie sanders and buttigieg to speak here in new hampshire and will bring about life as soon as we get it. matthew lewis for the moment. greatjob guys, lots more to come from new hampshire. let's move onto the other news and the number of deaths from the new coronavirus has now passed the 1,100 mark. the world health organisation says the disease will now be called covid—19, and warned it could be 18 months before the first vaccine becomes available.

in the british seaside resort of brighton a businessman who's thought to have infected 11 people is recovering. catherine burns reports. steve walsh is still in hospital — he says it'sjust a precaution now. but brighton is dealing with the after—effects of his infection, with two gp surgeries being closed to patients. today, mr walsh has been named and has explained that he did everything by the book. he says: but in the roughly two weeks between being infected and diagnosed, it was life as normal, including a trip to the pub. it's still open — five staff have gone into isolation. but the pub says it's worked with public health england and that there's a minimal ongoing risk of infection. mr walsh picked up the coronavirus at a conference in singapore. on his way back to the uk, he stopped off for several days at a ski chalet in france, where he passed the virus on to 11 other people.

five of those infected remain in france, and one man returned to majorca. mr walsh and the other five british people came back to the uk. two of them are gps, and two surgeries have been temporarily closed. mr walsh's neighbours are baffled by all the attention. his wife's told me on the phone that really he's not that ill. she thinks it's a complete, basically a load of rubbish, and that it's no worse than flu, probably not as bad. it's just five days now since steve walsh was officially diagnosed, and he says he's well recovered. that is generally true for this virus. most people tend to only get mild symptoms. catherine burns, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news. the usjustice department has intervened to override its own prosecutors and seek a lower prison sentence for donald trump's former advisor roger stone. the intervention came just

hours after the president complained on twitter that stone's recommended sentence of 7—9 years was a miscarriage of justice. all four prosecutors on the case have since resigned. stone is convicted of lying to congress and witness tampering. part of the amazon rainforest has started to emit more carbon dioxide than it absorbs, according to research seen by the bbc. scientists from brazil's space research institute say part of the south—east, which is about a fifth of the total area, appears to be no longer able to store carbon dioxide. defence lawyers for harvey weinstein have rested their case in his rape trial without calling the formerfilm producer to give evidence. the lead defence lawyer is due to present her closing argument on thursday, followed by the lead prosecutor. the jurors heard testimony from six women who accuse harvey weinstein of sexual assault. they faced aggressive questioning by mr weinstein's lawyers, who then called only a handful of witnesses

in syria rebel held idlib province hundreds of thousands of civilians are fleeing under fire from forces loyal to president bashar al—assad. his troops have huge advances into the province. turkish—backed rebels have responded by shooting down a helicopter they say was going to bomb civilians. this report by our middle east correspondent quentin sommerville — contains some distressing images. the long and winding death of rebel—held idlib is quickening. another 700,000 people fleeing. among them, in the traffic heading north, this family. this is the biggest exodus since syria's war began. they fear what's behind them more than what lies ahead. translation: we are fleeing from our village towards the turkish border

because we are in fear for our children and women. they've packed up everything they can carry, knowing that they will likely never be back. translation: we're leaving our house because of the army. the army executes those who stay here. bashar al—assad's forces are tearing at their heels. air strikes and artillery are redrawing the landscape here as the regime captures more and more territory. the world has stopped counting syria's dead, but in idlib, they don't have that luxury. in the blanket, the charred corpse of another victim. here, they knew the regime warplanes were coming and ran for cover, but their homes gave them little protection. "i can't recognise him. my father or my brother? i don't know", he says.

the turkish—backed rebels and islamist extremists are losing idlib, but today they had a small victory, the downing of a helicopter. "the helicopter behind me belongs to the regime," he says in turkish. "it was dropping barrel bombs on innocent civilians, women and children." there is no peace here, even for the dead. returning regime soldiers film themselves desecrating the grave of a rebel commander. the living here are running out of breathing space. ahmed hasjust been dug out of the rubble after syrian jets attacked a market in idlib city. 17 people died around him. the pleas for a ceasefire, some respite, are ignored. girl cries. in a nearby bed, an 11—year—old screams from shrapnel wounds. she and ahmed will recover, but then what?

they will likely end up here, joining many of idlib's other children, clinging on in the sprawling camps at the country's edge with turkey, a place where people are corralled and forgotten. once again, idlib is asking for help, but the world has left it and syria behind. quentin somerville, bbc news. the prince of wales and duchess of cornwall have carried out a rarejoint engagement with the duke and duchess of cambridge. the four royals all went on a visit to a military rehabilitation centre in leicestershire. it came on the day it was announced that the queen's grandson peter phillips and his wife autumn are to divorce. 0ur royal correspondent daniela relph reports. it was a show of family unity, on a rarejoint public engagement.

primary is in new hampshire. expecting to hearfrom bernie sanders and acro to imminently and will bring that to you right here on bbc world news. hello there. there really is an awful lot of weather getting thrown our way over the next few days. eventually we'll get into something milder and wetter from the atlantic. right now it's cold air and a cold wind driving across the uk and that's pushing in all these shower clouds answer more to come, mainly for the northern half of the uk where, earlier on, of course, it was particularly treacherous across parts of southern scotland. now the winds are easing down a little bit, allowing temperatures to fall away close to if not below freezing. ice more likely across scotland, northern ireland, and north—west england. this is where we are seeing showers continuing overnight and into the morning. and again, some snow, even to low levels for a while. gradually through the day we will see the winds easing down a bit. we will also see the showers become fewer, more places turning dry, particularly northern ireland and much

of england and wales during the afternoon. some sunshine around here. temperatures similar to what we had on tuesday, but because it won't be as windy it probably won't feel quite as cold. now towards the south—west we will see some changes later on in the day as the cloud thickens and we start to see some showers coming in here. that's ahead of this main rainband that sweeps its way eastwards, heading northwards it then meets the cold air and slows down. so we will find a mixture of rain and some snow, even to lower levels for a while overnight before lifting onto the hills as that wetter weather slowly peters out. to the south will have some showers, gales running through the english channel, temperatures may make double figures across the southernmost parts of england. but if you are stuck under that cold, wet weather in the north—east of england then temperatures only four degrees at best. it should be drying off overnight and by the time we get to early friday may well be some ice, some frost, and a few pockets of mist and fog, too. it won't be as cold though for northern ireland, because here winds will be picking up by the morning and we will have some rain, too. the stronger winds will push the rain eastward, snow more

likely over the mountains of scotland this time. the rain turning lighter as it runs across england and wales. but because it's a southerly wind those temperatures will be higher. it will be turning milder everywhere. probably not much rain for eastern england until the evening as that weak weather front move through. and then we look out into the atlantic, deepening area of low pressure heading towards iceland. this is storm dennis. probably not quite as severe as storm ciara was last weekend, but this weekend we are expecting some widespread gales, the winds could be still gusting, 60—70 mph, probably the biggest impact is likely to be across england and wales from the strength of the wind and some more rain, which will be heavy at times, and that will lead to some more flooding.

this is bbc news. the headlines: votes are being counted after the us democratic party primary in the state of new hampshire. exit polls suggest a tight three—way race between the left—wing senator bernie sanders and the more centrist contenders senator amy klobuchar and the former mayor of south bend, indiana, pete buttigieg. the former vice president, joe biden — who's languishing in the polls — has already flown to campaign in south carolina. and the technology entrepreneur andrew yang has dropped out of the race for the democratic nomination. the eventual winner will take on donald trump in november's presidential election. the director—general of the world health organization has called on the international community to fight the new
