my“. 6 q." my” ($3 li'fzfill pete! president pete! president pete! president pete! president pete! now, we... we are clear died about the challenge before us and we must be equally clear about the choice at hand. my competitors and i share the same fundamental goals, bringing balance of economy, guaranteeing healthcare to every american, combating climate and a rising tide of gun violence but with a different what we believe it will ta ke to a different what we believe it will take to make that happen. we have been told by some that we must either be for a revolution of the status quo but where does that leave the rest of us. most americans do not see where they fit in and cannot defeat the most divisive president in bonnet america by tearing down anybody who does not agree with us 100% of the time. cheering and
4:01 am
applause. cheering crowd chanting: usa! americans want the freedom to make choices for themselves, and a politics of my way or the highway is a route to re—electing donald trump. vulnerable americans do not have the luxury of pursuing ideological purity over an inclusive victory. we also... we know this. we also know
4:02 am
better than to try and defeat such a disruptive president by relying on the same washington framework and mindset. after all, if today's washington were serving america well, a guy like donald trump would never have come within cheating distance of the oval office in the first place. so to win and to govern we need to bring new voices to our capital. we need to get washington starting to work more like our best run cities and towns rather than the other way around. and i know that when you talk this way you might get dismissed. there is a naive newcomer. but a fresh outlook is what makes new beginnings possible, it is how we build a new majority.
4:03 am
and election after election has shown us about putting forward a new perspective is how democrats win the white house and we will win the white house. you are watching pete buttigieg, the mayor of south bend, indiana, who has done very well in the democratic primary, giving a rallying talk to his supporters in new hampshire. so as we take this campaign to the rest of the country, let's welcome the debate, let's have that debate. let's debate the best way forward , let's debate the best way forward, the best way to unite the white house and this country. and the answers, they lie ina country. and the answers, they lie in a vision that brings americans together, not only in the knowledge of what we must
4:04 am
stand against, but in the confidence of knowing what we are for. this is the powerful majority we are gathering together, from davenport to dover, from carson city to colombia, it is a coalition of addition, not subtraction. it isa addition, not subtraction. it is a movement reaching into church basements and by the sites, into universities and union holes, carrying the same values with us everywhere we go. we saw that coalition awakening. we saw it's a night in cities and suburbs from the sea coast to in cities and suburbs from the seacoast to those industrial towns too often left behind. and together, we are building a future where there will be no such thing as an uninsured american or an unaffordable
4:05 am
prescription. that is what we can deliver with a plan most americans can get behind. medicare for all who wanted, ensuring care for every american but trusting you to choose whether you want it and when you want it. together, we. enabling corporate greed and start raising wages, empowering workers and making good on the idea that onejob workers and making good on the idea that one job ought to be enough. we seem to have lost the feed there from pete buttigieg's rally. we are going to go to bernie sanders' campaign headquarters. we are expecting the senator in
4:06 am
vermont to come out. that was pete buttigieg you were listening to, speaking to his supporters. let's see if we can go to bernie sanders' headquarters, where we are waiting to hear from the senator from vermont. yes? jon sopel senator from vermont. yes? jon sopel, our north american editor is there. before we go tojon, our editor is there. before we go to jon, our partners editor is there. before we go tojon, our partners at cbs news are predicting bernie sanders sue wynn —— to win the largest year in new hampshire. —— share. largest year in new hampshire. -- share. thank you, thank you! cheering and applause
4:07 am
4:08 am
and — and let me thank the thousands of volunteers in new hampshire, thank you. who knocked on doors in the rain and the snow and the cold. the reason that we once a night in new hampshire, we won last week in iowa. —— we won. it is because of the hard work of so many volunteers, and let me say tonight that this victory here is the beginning
4:09 am
of the and for donald trump. —— beginning of the end for donald trump. cheering and applause crowd: bernie! with victories behind us, the popular vote in iowa and the victory here tonight, we're going to nevada, we are going to south carolina, we're going to south carolina, we're going to win those as well. and tonight i want to take the opportunity to express my appreciation and respect for all of the democratic candidates we ran against. pete buttigieg, amy klobuchar,
4:10 am
elizabeth warren, joe biden. and what i can tell you with absolute certainty, and i know i speak for everyone of the democratic candidates, is no matter who wins, and we certainly hope it is going to be asked, we are going to unite together. we are going to unite together. we are going to unite together and defeat the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country. and the reason i believe we are going to win is that we have an unprecedented grassroots movement from coast to coast of millions of people. the reason that we are going to win is that we are going to win is that we are putting together an
4:11 am
unprecedented multi generational, multi racial, political movement. and this is a movement from coast to coast which is demanding that we finally have an economy and a government that works for all of us, not wealthy campaign contributors! and i want to thank all of those people who have worked and contributed to oui’ have worked and contributed to ourcampaign, but made have worked and contributed to our campaign, but made the point that at this point in the campaign, we are taking on billionaires and we are taking on candidates funded by billionaires. cheering and applause
4:12 am
but we are going to win because we have the agenda that speaks to the needs of working people throughout this country. healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. cheering and applause the wealthy and powerful will start paying their fair share of taxes. we will make public colleges and universities tuition free and cancel all student debt. unlike donald trump, we know that climate change is very real, and an existential crisis for our planet. we are prepared to tell
4:13 am
the fossil fuel planet. we are prepared to tell the fossilfuel injury planet. we are prepared to tell the fossil fuel injury that there are short—term profits are not more important than the future of our planet. we're going to a racist and work in criminal justice system going to a racist and work in criminaljustice system —— going to end. we are going to have comprehensive immigration reform. our own safety policies will be determined by the american people, not the nra.
4:14 am
and under our administration, it will be women, not the government, who control their own lives. now, our campaign is not just about beating own lives. now, our campaign is notjust about beating trump, it is about transforming this country. it is about having the courage to take on wall street, the insurance companies, the drug companies, the fossilfuel industry, the military industrial complex. so tonight, i want to thank the people of new hampshire for this great victory, and urge
4:15 am
all americans tojoin this great victory, and urge all americans to join our effort to transform this country at bernie sanders .com. crowd chants: bernie! bernie! it is onto nevada, it is onto south carolina, it is on to the democratic nomination and together... cheering and applause. and togetheri have no doubt that we will defeat donald trump. thank you all very much. cheering and applause. studio: bernie sanders claiming victory here in new hampshire. thanking all
4:16 am
of his supporters and talking about going forward, to reach out to more voters, making direct appeals to african american voters, direct appeals to hispanic voters and we can report that bernie sanders has one the new hampshire vote. —— won. we arejoined byjon sopel who is at the bernie sanders rally. i imagine they are pleased. first placed slot in new hampshire but, that part is pete buttigieg who is coming in close behind him... we do not havejon close behind him... we do not have jon sopel yet. close behind him... we do not have jon sopel yet. one of the other big issues is getting voters out. he has always talked about getting high turnout. is he going to be
4:17 am
disappointed by the fact he is not generated as much buzz even though he is the winner? well, i think, though he is the winner? well, ithink, in though he is the winner? well, i think, in politics like in most things, a win is a win is a win. the old phrase from god, there are no pictures on a scorecard. bernie sanders has one and he would much rather be in that position than any other and he claimed that he won in iowa as well which is still hotly contested but he did not smash it out of the park like you did four years ago. if you are a centrist candidate you do not look at bernie sanders and see that it is a train running away. he is a senator from neighbouring vermont and he would pick up a lot of support. kudos to bernie sanders, he has
4:18 am
won that it is not a huge victory. he has won, you are right, but if you look at the delicate count and it is all about stacking up delegates, the person who reaches that magic number that you have to win in order to get the nominations and i understand that the latest count, pete buttigieg is one delegate ahead of bernie sanders so who is at the frontrunner in the democratic race right now out of iowa and new hampshire? no—one particularly is the answer to that katty. sorry, got very noisy in here and the crowd is rather boisterous. if you are doing this on the importance of the delicate count, 24 in new hampshire. the
4:19 am
number they need is astronomical. new hampshire and iowa do not match up for the numbers, they matter for the symbolism, they are the first in the nation primaries and caucus and that is why they are central. no—one is going to claiml central. no—one is going to claim i am on path to victory asa claim i am on path to victory as a result of the delegates they have picked up either in iowa or new hampshire. long, long way to go. 20 sanders has some momentum but i do not think this is quite as impressive victory as it was four years ago against hillary clinton. —— bernie sanders. pete buttigieg has had a great night, amy klobuchar a fantastic night, elizabeth warren, awful. joe biden even worse. today a lot of muttering about a bernie sanders nomination, knocking the down
4:20 am
ticket candidates, one suggesting they could lose the house. even in a very, very tight rate are they looking at this victory and sank my goodness, he could be the nominee? jane you are jumping a lot of hurdles very fast indeed. we're not at that sort of stage yet... i want to get things moving. i think... you wonder democratic party, you wonder democratic party, you're wonder democratic party, you're're determined wonder democratic party, you're determined that you're not going to face accusations that you tried to tilt everything in favour of the centrists against bernie sanders. you did not steal the nomination away from him which was the charge made four years ago. you're tried to facilitate a fair fight. this is like one of those school prize days where everyone gets a little lollipop at the end of it. bernie sanders has one,
4:21 am
pete buttigieg has been formidable, amy klobuchar get most improved athlete, joe biden says let's see what i can do and elizabeth warren... this goes on and on. they are spending millions of dollars fighting each other and not taking the fight to donald trump and the longer that goes on the one big winner out of new hampshire and iowa, yes, you have guessed it, it is donald] you have guessed it, it is donald j trump! you have guessed it, it is donald] trump! it is america, eve ryo ne donald] trump! it is america, everyone is a winner, except if your name happens to bejoe biden or elizabeth warren. it looks like he did not quite win but i have to say i was listening to pete buttigieg's speech to his supporters, there we re speech to his supporters, there were almost self—conscious echoes of barack obama who came
4:22 am
here in 2008 talking about reaching out to the middle, unifying the party, getting beyond divisions, appealing to america's hire angels almost. it was not a win but it has to bea it was not a win but it has to be a result they are happy with, the mayor? he tries to draw the comparison with barack obama, doesn't he, this red and blue america i can bring together. he is also drawing comparisons withjfk. together. he is also drawing comparisons with jfk. he together. he is also drawing comparisons withjfk. he has made a compelling point that americans generally do like generational change. the democrats have done well when they offer somebody young, jfk, barack obama, bill clinton. the question is, katty, has got the x factor, the political celebrity, the magnetism, the charisma? i was listening to the speech as well and i was struck that the themes are the same but presentation early, it is not the same and that is
4:23 am
such a big factor. —— in terms of presentation. does pete buttigieg got it? that is an interesting point because the campaign events i've been to with pete buttigieg i have been struck by how many undecided they were. do you think that is going to change now? one thing you also notice about going from a pete buttigieg rally to a bernie sanders one, the 78—year—old attracting the young and if you were campaigning ona young and if you were campaigning on a successful message of generational change your room would be filled with young people... excuse me... pete buttigieg has a young people... nick, do not die
4:24 am
yet... sorry, i have just lost my voice on the second contest of the week... fortunately we have not lost ours. we will give you a second to recover. you look at the idea of the x factor, you are right, he can bea factor, you are right, he can be a little stiff, a little wooden, but tonight, we have to be looking at the possibility of bernie sanders or pete buttigieg being the democratic nominee. there is no way you can look at the results as we have had them so far from iowa and new hampshire and think those two things are not possible. possible but certainly not clear yet. it is such early days. don't forget amy klobuchar, she has had a fantastic night. she has exceeded expectations even among her supporters who have a lwa ys among her supporters who have always said she would do it. it is quite something. she is
4:25 am
still nipping at his heels. if you have recovered your boss, are they talking tonight at pete buttigieg hq, i heard them shouting president pete, do they think they have the nominee? i think what was being shattered at the bernie sanders rally when pete buttigieg came stage, they were brewing him, they were shouting wall street pete, they were deriding his moderation. that is one of the stories in a new hampshire. big division right now within the democratic party between the moderates, between the radicals, clearly bernie sanders has emerged as the standardbearer of the radicals. the overriding picture is deep division and who does that help? donald trump. to leave you with a tweet from donald
4:26 am
trump... pete buttigieg is doing pretty well tonight, giving crazy bernie a run for his money. that is it from new hampshire. 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 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
4:27 am
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
4:28 am
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.
4:30 am
