oh, ho, you got it. unbelievable. ted cruz scored big on super saturday and appeals for unity to stop donald trump, but the front runner got his share of victory too and warns that any attempt to split the party will lead to defeat in november. and living a dream that may never be realized. the heart-tugging story of an 8-year-old whose dying wish is to be sheriff for a day. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell, newsroom

starts right now. a very good day to you. we start this hour with the results of super saturday and another big day on the road to the white house and what a day for ted cruz, the republican candidate gained momentum in the hint that he is the donald trump's strongest challenger. cruz won kansas and maine while trump took kentucky and hillary clinton maintained her lead in louisiana. ted cruz called on republicans to rally around him to take on donald trump. he says his campaign is the party's only hope to win the white house in november, also pointing out a recent straw poll from the major comfortabletive conference known as c-pac where cruz came in on top.

>> by any measure, kansas and maine and the c-pac national conference of conservatives are all very different groups of voters, and to see strong, strong wins across the board is very encouraging, and i think what it represents is republicans coalescing, saying it would be a disaster for donald trump to be our nominee. and we're going to stand behind the strongest conservative in the race. >> donald trump is pushing back, though, against this idea of republicans blocking his path with a third party candidate. he says doing that is just handing the election to hillary clinton. >> if they run a third party or an independent party, if they do that, it will make it impossible for the republican candidate, on the assumption it's me or anybody to win. if that maeans losing, it means

that hillary clinton who does not deserve to run because what see did the e-mails should not be allowed to run. but on the assumption that they did that, it would be impossible for the republican to win, and obviously the independent or third party could not win. so the democrats would have an absolute free run. probably, you wouldn't even campaign, because it would be yes, ma'am possible to win. >> here is a closer look at the numbers. you can see ted cruz edged out donald trump on super saturday. marco rubio fell behind at a distant third and rubio is also far behind in the race at large where trump still carries a lead into several major upcoming contests. for his party, trump is taking greater aem at his two rivals, ted cruz and marco rubio.

he's even your honurging one of drop out entirely. >> donald trump said it was a testament to the organization he's put together and the movement that he's leading in this country. as for ted cruz who also won two states on the super saturday, ted said that the victory was due that he was born in canada. donald trump suggested that marco rubio should drop out. >> i think marco rubio had a very, very bad night. and personally, i call for him to drop out of the race. i think it's time now that he drop out of the race. i really think so. [ applause ] i think it's probably time, you know. i don't think tonight he can get up and rant and rave and oh, he came in third, he came in fourth. every time he comes in third or fourth he says you have to be able to win, and he cannot win, it's time for him to drop out.

>> he said that the occasion scuffles that break out his rallies are due to the fact that the events are larger than those of the other candidates. >> it doesn't seem like rubio will be taking donald trump's advice there, in fact, he is planning on a big win in his home state. >> there will be more delegates awarded in florida than basically every state tonight combined. it's a winner-take-all state. this is a proportional pro sechls every night that we have caucuses like there were tonight in three states we continue to pick up delegates. there are clearly states in which some of my opponents do better than in other states. we understood that. we continue to play the delegate math because we understand this is going to be a very different primary, where the delegates are going to count.

that's why i'm here in poert ue rico. >> trump leads rubio in florida, 44% to 28%. now let's take a closer look at the democratic race, even though bernie sanders may have won more states than his rival on super saturday, hillary clinton still dominate when is it comes to delegates, she has now snagged more than 1100, and bernie sanders has 479. sanders and clinton arrived in the state of mish hish before the super saturday results came in, that is where the democratic primary is to be held on tuesday, and both candidates say they are confident. >> very proud that tonight we won in kansas with a good vote. won in nebraska with a good vote. [ applause ] we think we're going to do well in maine tomorrow. but no matter, we think we're

going to do very well here on tuesday in your great state. but no matter who wins this democratic nomination, i am not the slightest doubt that on our worst day, we will be infinitely better than the republicans on their best day. >> there is no barrier we can't break down if we stand together and work together. that is my pledge to you. i'm asking for and hoping to receive your vote on tuesday. because i know [cheers and applause] if i am your democratic nominee, i will make detroit a central issue in this campaign. [cheers and applause] i will make flint a separate issue in this campaign. i will make michigan's come back a story of resilience and success in this campaign.

>> michigan, flint michigan and workers front and center for these democratic candidates. we get more from yoour senior political correspondent brianna keilar. >> reporter: the contest pea have been in nebraska and louisiana, but both in michigan, attending the michigan democratic party dinner, your clinton congratulated sanders. >> today voters in louisiana and nebraska, i want to congratulate senator sanders, i am thrilled we're adding to our delegate count, but now all eyes turn to

michigan. [cheers and applause] and i can tell you this. we're going to work for every vote. >> reporter: and as secretary clinton referenced there, she and her campaign are stressing their delegate lead over bernie sanders, that he may have picked up more states than her, but she picked up more delegates. they're also stressing that her margin over bernie sanders is bigger than anyone that barack obama had in 2008. implicit in that, they're asserting that bernie sanders cannot best her. brianna keilar, cnn, detroit. >> bernie sanders ramps up the pressure on hillary clinton. ted cruz is emerging as the trump alternative. live from london, jacob is the head of the u.s. and america's program at chatham house. always a pleasure to have you with us. let's talk first about what came

off as a very strong day for ted cruz against donald trump following that brutal debate. and cruz coming on top in the c-pac straw poll. >> this primary has gone through a number of different narratives on the republican side. and the underlying aspect is when is it going to turn into a two-man race? and i think you're starting to see the emergence of a two-man, donald trump/ted cruz race. it's difficult to see how cruz could accumulate the full number of delegates that he would need to win on the first ballot after a republican convention, but you have the possibility of having a floor fight at the convention, which is something that hasn't hammed in modern american history. >> wait a minute, i can hear the rubio camp saying wait a minute. don't count us out.

because marco rubio is determined to stay in this race. what do you see? >> it's difficult to see how rubio could overcome even cruz at this point. they were talking about the number of places they beat cruz without mentioning donald trump. so i really don't see what rubio could do aside from build up to the point where he and cruz could jointly contest trump's nomination at the convention. but it's just difficult to imagine sort of rubio super creeding the delegate count. >> we hear more of cruz taki -- sanders talking about taking on donald trump. what would he have to do? >> he would have to massively expand his votes against non-white parts of the

democratic block. because the states he has won are largely white. that's not true for the up and coming winner-take-all states. he needs to do well in the big democratic strongholds of michigan and florida and california to come. clinton has a very strong delegate lead and strong establishment support. and you're seeing that in her tone where she's talking more about the general election and trying to be accommodating and gracious about sanders rather than attacking him as she did earlier when i think she was a bit more worried about his challenge after new hampshire. >> a few days ago we heard mitt romney come out very strongly against donald trump, making the case there. and we just heard donald trump seemingly concerned about this idea of a third party candidate. he basically says if that were to happen the republicans would hand the election over to the

democrats. what do you make of it? >> i think the idea of a third party candidate is interesting. i think it would be incredibly difficult to do at this point. ballot access laws would mean that a third party candidate at this point would almost certainly have to write a write-in campaign. donald trump can threaten that, because he has almost worldwide name recognition. almost everyone everywhere knows who donald trump is. he probably couldn't win the election, but he could throw it. it's interesting to see who the republicans could put up who would threaten trump. so i'm not sure how plausible that is. >> just quickly here. the view from outside the united states, for hose who are watching this election process take place, about the two front runners, what are the two feelings about donald trump for the republicans and hillary clinton as it stands now for the

democrats? >> there's a lot of concern about trump. people are worried about his bellicose rhetoric, they worry in europe particularly about the extent to which he would maintain traditional american alliance commitments and the extent to which he would swap those out for a more transactional view of america's role in the world. clinton is a more known commodity. >> jacob parakilas, thank you for your insight. >> thank you. and democratic candidates, hillary clinton and bernie sanders will face-off in the debate stage once again in the cnn democratic debate live from flint, michigan. cnn's own anderson cooper will moderate that debate 8:00 sunday on the east coast, 1:00 monday in london only here on cnn. you're watching "cnn

newsroom." it has been a painful legal and emotional battle for the families of those on board malaysia airlines flight 370. ahead, how the victims are being remembered two years after. pl plus, a camp is overflowing with tens of thousands of migrants hoping to cross into macedonia. you're watching "cnn newsroom," live.

remembered two years afte devastating agony and grief. that is what the last two years have been filled with for the families of those on board malaysia airlines flight 370. 239 people lost their lives on that flight. relatives have found few answers since that flight disappeared. now some families are taking the last opportunity to sue the airline before the deadline on march 8th. relatives are also hoping that this piece of debris that you see here, that was found offer the coast of mozambique might uncover some clues as to what

happened to that plane. in malaysia, the mh 370 victims were remembered in an emotional ceremony. >> reporter: family, friends and well-wishers are gathering here today to mark a day of remembrance for the 239 passenger and crew members on board flight mh 370. kuala lumpur is where it took off. >> today's the 6th. and i'm recalling what patrick did on the 6th. then tomorrow i'll remember what he did on the 7th. he went for a safety course. and i'll remember on the 8th. the call coming in and all that. it's a rewinding and playing back. and that's tough, but, you know, i try to stay strong. >> reporter: the family members are also taking this opportunity to launch a petition.

they're asking people to reevaluate and reinvestigate the disappearance of mh flight 370. the concerns that once the current search zone of 120,000 kilometers in the deepest ocean may end and the search will end with it, and they may never find the plane with their loved ones. >> there's been talk of stopping the search at the end of june and early july. we think giving up now would be premature, so unprecedented and bizarre. they may not normally look for a plane this long, but this is an unprecedented event, and they need to take unprecedented events to recover the plane. >> reporter: these are for the 12 crew members. the rest for the 227 passengers on board. these families are still hoping they might turn up.

and that is why events like this are so important for them, to raise awareness, to keep the greatest aviation mystery alive, perhaps hoping it's a mystery no more and they find the plane. kuala lumpur, malaysia. a makeshift camp alon the greek border keeps getting bigger and bigger as hundreds of migrants arrive every day hoping to cross into macedonia. a drone captured these aerials, showing hundreds of tents huddled at a rail line at the border. macedonia has imposed tight restrictions on pieg ramigrant crossings. it is designed to hold 1500 people. arwa damon caught up with some of the people in the camp to see how they're dealing with the challenges there.

>> reporter: the children will find anything that they can to actually be able to play with. that game is called "the bus." this is the situation as it exists along the greece/macedonia border, where the kids will do whatever they can shall the way children always do with their phenomenal resilience to try to entertain themselves, but it is always phenomenally difficult on the parents. there are upwards of 10,000 people that are currently stuck here. macedonia has reduced the numbers being allowed through to about a few dozen a day and only iraqis and syrians. and that is largely because other countries meant to be receiving the migrants say they cannot at this stage take the numbers or cope with the influx. but by simply shutting down the border, it has resulted in this massive expansion that we are seeing here right now.

all of these brightly-colored tents were donated i have various different organizations, because the aid groups that exist here quite simply can't handle the sheer volume of people that have built up here at what is now a bottleneck. and you can see other families getting ready for the night. it does get bitterly cold out here at night. and then the long line of people waiting to get food. a line that they sometimes spend an hour if not two in, just to get a sandwich of and everyone we've been speaking to here says they can deal with just about anything. it's the uncertainty of it all that makes it so difficult. arwa damon, cnn, on the greece/macedonia border. >> always appreciate arwa's reporting there. tens of thousands of refugees from syria have crossed the sea from turkey to greece in the first two months of this year. and for many, that januaourney

dangerous and a nightmare. >> translator: we were about 60 people. we did not want to go on the boat, but they got us on it. in the middle of the sea, the boat started sinking. i called the greek coast guard. a few boats arrived. they saved my siblings. the driver is the one who sanction the boat. >> omar told us after the boat started sinking, the turkish coast guard rescued his siblings. after two weeks of separation, the family was finally rae uneu in greece. this is "cnn newsroom." still ahead, super saturday is now over but the battle is just heating up for florida.

a preview is up ahead. you're watching cnn worldwide.

a warm welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom." good to have you with us. i'm george howell. the headlines we're following this hour. super saturday brought mixed results in the u.s. presidential race. ted cruz and donald trump each won two states as both look to

narrow the race to a one on one contest. meanwhile, bernie sanders stayed alive with two wins of his own and hillary clinton maintained her delegate lead. china aims to keep its growth rate above 6.5%. the announcement came at the people's national conference in beijing. it was warned that they face difficulties ahead due to the slow down in economic growth. the envoy for syria says a second round of peace talks for the war-torn country will begin in geneva. a fragile cease-fire is in its second week. the vatican says gunmen have executed 16 people, including four nuns in yemen on friday at an elderly home in the port city of aden.

the pope is condemning the killings as senseless and diabolical. america's choice, 2016 and super saturday is now in the books. the next big prize for the u.s. republican presidential candidates, it is the state of florida, a winner-take-all state and marco rubio and donald trump both held rallies there on saturday, competing for the 99 delegates up for grabs. florida's primary will be held tuesday march 15th. anti-trump movements are spending millions of dollars to make sure that he doesn't take that state. cnn has this report. >> we're doing real le well in florida. >> reporter: trump's target? florida, a crown jewel for the front runner, less than two weeks from the winner-take-all

primary. the anti-trump movement is spending billions. flooding florida this week, a slough of coordinating attack ads, pouncing on failed businesses like trump university to this $1.5 million ad by an alleged business of of of of of of of of of of . and there's more, this ad, $1.7 million in ads paid for by the american future fund. >> there's no doubt that, again, we're on a compressed time frame and it's very urgent that we focus now. and to be in politics you have to be optimistic, and we are optimistic that it's going to work. >> reporter: you think people in florida are going to buy that, the anti-trump movement? >> i don't see that, i think the negative noise is going to fall on donald trump ears, because

those who are trump fans are real really trump fans. >> reporter: he is admittedly biased, business partners for years. >> this is called the trump grand, trump towers one, two, and three. >> reporter: towers that went up during the 2008 meltdown. were you panicking? >> there were a few sleepless nights. >> reporter: he's credited for saving miami-area properties. not every florida investment led to a wind fall, but for decades, the skyline has grown with millions of successful trump brands. trump made $15.5 million at his mira lago. >> we have some states awaiting me in the next few days, but

then we're coming to florida. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: but trump's business partners say trump is florida's investor. it may pay off in two weeks. do people in florida really see dr donald trump as a local man? >> i think he's a florida guy as much as he's a new york guy. >> reporter: that's one man's opinion. a latest quinnipiac poll shows trump is leading rubio 44% to 28%, but here's an important number to note. in that same poll, 30% say they haven't made up their minds yet. they could shift their opinion, shift which candidate they decide to support. florida very much in play. the roubio camp continuing to sy they believe they will win their state. >> people on the campaign trail

have heard donald trump refer to bowe bergdahl as a traitor. here's an example of what he has said in front of big crowds. >> six beautiful young people were killed looking for sergeant bergdahl, right? and we knew that he was a traitor, because we had a general and colonel interviewing all the people that he worked with. >> now bergdahl's lawyer is asking to meet with the republican front runner. earlier i spoke with his attorney by phone about it. >> caller: we'd like to interview him about that. he's made himself a witness. and this is simply what you would do if you knew that there was somebody who potentially had information about the case. in fact, mr. trump's comments, in addition to being defamatory, i think, raise a serious question as to whether my client can get a fair trial, which he's

entitled to under the due process clause of the u.s. constitution. so i think it's very critical that we meet with him. i hope he'll meet with us. i don't know if he will. if he doesn't, then we'll ask for a court to order him deposed. >> the attorney's focus on trump's comments that bergdahl is a traitor and should be executed. bergdahl is facing court-martial on charges of desertion. hillary clinton and bernie sanders have been busy fighting it out for voters in the state of michigan. they're battling for the winner take all 36 delegates. and they will face-off in flint-michigan. they have condemned the drinking water situation. lead-poisoned water.

after the city changed its water-source to save monday. democrat hillary clinton extended her lead with a big win in louisiana. but bernie sanders won kansas and nebraska. and as joe johns reports, sanders is hoping for another big win in the state of michigan. >> reporter: bernie sanders appearing on super saturday at mccomb community college in michigan where donald trump had appeared. the sanders appearance was not in reaction to the trum appearance. however during a speech here, sanders did talk about a cnn poll that shows he would beat trump in a general election matchup. >> the american people know that togetherness, standing together, trump's divisiveness. the american people know that community helping each other,

trump's selfishness. [cheers and applause] and most importantly, the american people know, and every religion teaches us this, that love trumps hatred. >> reporter: sanders also talked aboutflint, michigan, the site of the water crisis and the scene of the debate on sunday night and called on michigan's governor to step down over the issue. >> when you have that kind of dereliction, dereliction in duty, i think the governor should do the right thing and resign. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: sanders may be fighting an uphill battle here, but he needs to make a strong showing in the primary on tuesday. joe johns, michigan. >> the mayor of flint, michigan tells brianna keilar that she

hopes to hear solutions from hillary clinton. >> i want to hear solutions. that's one of the things we've been looking for. we've been dealing with the situation so long. we know we continue to need water and filters, but we've really got to look at long-term solutions and what it is the people of flint deserve to have as a result of what's happened to them. >> reporter: what do those solutions seem to be? there's a lot of bringing awareness to, but there's not a lot of talk about solutions. >> and the solutions are we need some money. we need money and to put services and supports in place for our kids and families that have been impacted by this. flint doesn't have the money to deal with this crisis, and we need money from the state and the federal level. we need help. >> reporter: you have said it is up to governor rick snyder if he's going to resign or not. >> it has been interesting. things have been coming out and coming out. we're looking to see, what did he know, and when did he know it? we want anybody who knew things

to be held accountable for what happened to the citizens of flint. right now i've been focussed on getting money from them. we need money, because we have infrastructure issues going on, services that kids need. so i've really focussed more on that, but, you know what? as information comes out, whoever needs to be held accountable should be. and that's all we've ever wanted switching now from politics to the pineapple express bringing much-needed rain to the state of california. the question now, will it help the drought? >> that's the question. they've got a long way to go in california. don't you love our weather terminolo terminology, the pineapple express? i'll show you why we call it that in a second, but look at these beautiful images coming out of the sierra nevada mountain range. full disclosure here, i'm a snowboarder, so i like the snow. and i want to see more of this

fresh, white stuff on the ground, because that extends the skiing season through april may even to may. take a look at the radar. it is lighting up like a christmas tree. i say that, because you can see the heavy, convective bands moving through the central portions of california at the moment, indicating pretty hefty precipitation. this is the first round. there's another round offshore that our radars can't pick up just yet. it will move on in. but the pineapple express, it's almost like a fire hose dowsing the u.s., and it originates in hawaii, see that blue extending from hawaii to the west coast? that's the area bringing our tropical influence, our tropical moisture. so this is very moisture-laden air, pacific moisture, and that's what's being brought in to the western half of the united states. that potentially could be a drought buster, but we don't want to get ahead of ourselveou.

it's been a well-advertised drought in california, five years strong, but it could put a dent in it for sure. how much are we talking about? we have localized spots in the sierra foothill, maybe 6-10 inches. over three feet of snow for the higher elevations. good news for reservoirs, because so many of the cities depend on the summer snow melt. san francisco, you could see 3 inches or more of rain over the next seven days, and that bodes well in the well-above-average rainfall for the next six to ten days. i'm going to bring you to vail, colorado where shawn white just took home the grand prize for the u.s. burton snow board championships. this is the half pipe competition, and there it is. that is why that man is on top of his fagame and the best in t

world at this sport. throwing all kinds of sports and looking amazing. >> could you even imagine? >> that just, you have to have, if you misplace your snow board, are you in serious trouble. >> you're watching "cnn newsroom," we'll be right back after the break.

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm george howell. in yemen, four nuns and a dozen other people are dead after gunmen stormed an elderly home in the port city of aden. the shooters burst into the facility and went room to room, handcuffing victims before shooting all 17 in the head. the pope condemned this as senseless and diabolical.

we go live to yemen. it's good to have you with us to talk about this terrible tragedy. what more do we know about this attack? >> incredible. hundreds of thousands are mourning in yemen after this tragic attack that killed off people who were loved by many yemenese. they were considered family. these nuns had been helping these elderly citizens for the last couple years. and were very much loved. this attack was so tragic that even al qaeda condemned this attack. according to the governor of aden, this attack holds the hallmarks of isis, and this is not something new to us, because it's not a secret that isis has strong control over many parts of aden right now. and many checkpoints in aden today are even controlled by isis themselves. so this is all because of the

political turmoil happening in the country, due to the non-stop saudi war in yemen that has basically left no government in many parts of the country, and caused many civilian deaths over the last 11 months. the u.n. has told us, this is causing a huge crisis politic politically, economically and also a hunger crisis in yemen. >> and, as that conflict continues, there are many civilians, ha hakeem. we appreciate your reporting there. in honduras, the family of an activist say that she was assassinated. thousands of mourners attended a

you know, before he passes. so it means a lot that he has the opportunity to have that experience. >> everyone should get a chance to live out their dream. very happy for caleb. the news continues after the break. stay with us.

donald trump is our nominee, in all likely hood, hillary wins. >> no doubt, it was a super saturday for ted cruz in the republican race for the white house, and of the democrats, bernie sanders did enough to make sure that hillary clinton won't get it all right away. plus a rough night for marco rubio. why donald trump is telling him to throw in the towel. and a never-ending wave of humanity facing little or no relief in greece. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. america's choice, 2016 and super saturday. it is on the books now in a wild

election cycle that has had plenty of twists and turns. donald trump did not get a clean sweep as his opponents feared, but he did score both louisiana and kentucky, adding to his lead over the field. ted cruz also had a strong showing, winning kansas and maine. he may be emerging as the trump challenger with the most staying power. saturday helped cruz close in on the lead with rubio at a third. bernie sanders earned wins in kansas and nebraska, keeping that campaign alive. sanders has an uphill climb now to the nomination, but saturday proved that he has no intention of throwing in the towel either. ted cruz is urging republicans to look to hem as the alternative to donald trump, after his two wins on saturday, cruz claims that he has the best shot to get past donald trump. he welcomed voters to get on

board. >> to date, we've beaten donald trump not once, not twice, but seven times in states all across this country, with wide geographic diversity, wide ideological diversity. and if you're one of those republicans at home who doesn't think donald trump is the best candidate for us to nominate, who doesn't think we should be nominating a candidate who's been a liberal democrat most of his life, who agrees with hillary clinton on foreign policy on cronyism and issue after issue after issue, then i welcome you to join us. >> now there is no question that ted cruz still has a great deal of work to do if he wants to catch up with donald trump and present himself to voters as the trump alternative, but rubio, and for that matter, john kasich have given no indication that they will be stepping aside either. jim acosta reports on the very latest from the republican field. >> reporter: donald trump declared victory in two of the four contests up for grabs after

winning in louisiana and kentucky. donald trump said that that was a testament to the organization that he's put together and the movement he's leading in this country. as for ted cruz, trump said the victories were due to he was born in canada. donald trump suggested that marco rubio should drop out. >> i think marco rubio had a very, very bad night. and personally, i'd call for him to drop out of the race. i really think it's time for him to drop out of the race. i really think so. [cheers and applause] >> i think it's time. i don't think he can get up and rant and rave, and he came in third. he came in fourth. it's team ime he drops out. >> reporter: he also defended the discourse he's bringing to

the campaign, saying that the scuffles that break out at his events are due to the fact that his events are larger than his opponents'. >> bernie sanders touched on the idea of a matchup with donald trump. this came after his two victories on super saturday. he won kansas and nebraska and is now looking ahead to the state of michigan and the primary there. senior washington correspondent joe johns has this report for us. >> reporter: bernie sanders appearing on super saturday at mccomb community college in michigan, the very same school where donald trump had appeared just one day before. the campaign said the sanders appearance was not in reaction to the trump appearance, however, sanders did talk about a cnn poll that shows he would beat trump in a general election matchup. >> the american people know that togetherness, standing together, trump's divisiveness.

[cheers and applause] the american people know that community helping each other, trump's selfishness. [cheers and applaus [cheers and applause] and most importantly, the american people know, and every religion teaches us this, that love trumps hatred. >> reporter: sanders also talked about flint, michigan, the scene of the water crisis and the scene of the debate on sunday night. and he once again called on michigan's governor to step down over the issue. >> when you have that kind of dereliction, dereliction in duty, i think the governor should do the right thing and resign. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: sanders may be fighting an uphill battle here, but he needs to make a strong showing in the primary on tuesday, joe johns, warren, michigan. earlier i spoke with jacob

parakilas. i asked him about the implications of ted cruz's victories in these two key states and what it means for donald trump and marco rubio moving ahead. >> the underlying aspect of it all is when is it going to turn into a two-man race? and today i think you're starting to see the emergence of a two-man race. it's difficult to see how cruz could accumulate the full number of delegates he would need to win on a first ballot at the republican conconvention, but y have the possibility of a floor fight at the convention, which is something that hasn't happened in modern american history. >> wait a minute. i can hear the rubio campaign saying don't count us out, because they are counting on florida, determined to stay in this race. what do you see? >> it's difficult to see how rubio could overcome even cruz at this point.

if you look at what the rubio camp was saying, they're talking about the number of places they beat cruz, without mentioning donald trump. so i really don't see what rubio could do aside from build up to the point where he and cruz could jointly contest trump at the convention, but it's difficult to imagine rubio superseding the delegate count. >> bernie sanders, we now hear him pivoting, talking more about taking on donald trump really than sparring against hillary clinton. though clinton maintains the lead with delegates, what does sanders have to do to keep up his momentum? >> sanders would have to massively expand his, his votes amongst non-white parts of the democratic block because every state sanders has won has been largely white and very liberal. and that's not necessarily a demographic that's true for the

upcoming big winner take all states. so he actually has his work cut out for him. he needs to do very well in the big democratic strongholds of michigan and florida and california to come. clinton's got a very strong delegate lead. she also has a strong establishment support, and you're seeing that in her tone where she's talking more about sort of the general election and trying to be accommodating and gracious about sanders rather than attacking him as she did earlier when she was more worried about his challenge after new hampshire. >> we heard mitt romney come out very strongly against donald trump making the case there, and we just heard donald trump seemingly concerned about this idea of a third party candidate. he basically says, you know, if that were to happen, the republicans would hand the election over to the democrats. what do you mayke of it? >> i think the idea of a third party candidate is interesting. i think it would be difficult to

do at this point. ballot access laws mean that a third party candidate would almost certainly have to run a wri write-in campaign. donald trump could do that, everyone knows who he is. he probably couldn't win the election, but he could throw it, get enough votes to guarantee a democratic win. it's difficult to see who the republicans could put up as an independent republican on a write-in candidate who could threaten trump. i'm not sure how plausible that is. >> the view from outside the united states, from those who are watching the election process take place. about the two front runners, what are the feelings about donald trump for the republicans and hillary clinton as it stands now for the democrats? >> there's a lot of concern about trump. i mean, people are worried about his bellicose rhetoric. they worry in europe, particularly, about the extent to which he would maintain

traditional alliance commitments and the extent to which he would swap those out for a more transactional role in the world. hillary clinton's seen as more representing a continuity with obama than a significant step change of any kind. >> jacob parakilas, live in london, thank you for your insight. >> thank you. >> that interview with jacob from earlier. democratic candidates hillary clinton and bernie sanders will face-off on the debate stage once again in this cnn democratic debate later today, live from flint, michigan. our own anderson cooper moderates at 8:00 eastern time, 1:00 in london only here on cnn. this is "cnn newsroom." and still ahead, much more on super saturday coming up. hillary clinton did not win the most states yesterday, but she's just as confident heading in to the michigan primary. we'll have details on why ahead.

sanctions on north korea. the ship was flying a flag from sierra leone. but documents show all 21 crew members on board are north korean nationals. authorities plan to deport the crew. among that, with the new sanctions, all countries are required to inspect cargo going into and from north korea. there's also a complete ban on small arms going into the country, and the sanctions call for expulsion of north korean diplomats who engage in illicit activities. a wider ban on luxury items like watches, jet skis and recreational vehicles. aviation fuel is banned as well because it can be converted to weapons production. they limit the imports of coal and iron ore if it can be shown that the sales would support illicit activities. two years ago, 239 people lost their lives on board

malaysian airlines flight 370. and ever since, the relatives of those on board have found very few answers since that boeing 777 disappeared. we report from malaysia on how the victims are being remembered. >> reporter: family, friends and well-wishers are gathering here today to mark a day of remembrance for the 239 passenger and crew members on board flight mh 370. kuala lumpur is where the plane took off, bound for beijing. it never arrived at its destination. >> i'm recalling what patrick did on the 6th. then tomorrow i'll remember what he did on the 7th. you know, he went for a safety course. and then i will remember on the 8th, call coming in and all that. so it's all replaying, a

rewinding, you know, playing back. and that's tough, but i'm, you know? i try to stay strong. >> reporter: the family members are also taking this opportunity to launch a petition, search on. they're asking people to reevaluate the search. there are concerns that once the current search zone of 120,000 kilometers in the deepest southern indian ocean ends, the search may end with it, and they may never find the plane or their loved ones. >> here there's been talk about them stopping the search at the end of june, early july. we don't want them to stop. they may not normally look for a plane this long, but this it is an unprecedented event, and they need to take unprecedented steps as well to recover the plane. >> reporter: each of these balloons has someone on board mh

370's name on them. these are for the crew members, the rest for the 227 passengers on board whose families are still hoping they might turn up. and that is why events like this are so important for them, to raise awareness, to keep the greatest aviation mystery alive, prance ho perhaps it's a mystery no more and they'll find the plane. the vatican says 16 people, inclusion four nuns were killed when gunmen stormed an elderly home in the port city of aden. the killers burst into the facility, then went room to room, hand cuffing victims before shooting all 16 in the head. the pope rebuked the attack as senseless and diabolical. let's go live to yemen. a journalist joins us live with the latest on the situation. good to have you with us.

if you could tell us what happened here. what more do we know about this attack? >> reporter: unexpected, tragic, especially for nuns at a nursing home who have been living in yemen for many years and have been helping the yemen people for years. we condemn the attack on the nuns and civilians in the nursing home. it's not the first time attacks happened on christian nuns, this happened many years back in the '90s, but over the last 20 years, this is the first time. there are numerous other nursing homes run by christian nuns around yemen, and this attack holds the hallmarks of sooisis

aden. dozens of check points are currently under isis control in aden, so this is the result of chaos in, that has been the result of 11 months of saudi-led war that has caused complete turmoil in the country. >> people are aware of the conflict between houthi rebels and saudi, but when it comes to isis gaining more grip from that country, we're seeing that in other countries as well, in afghanistan. tell our viewers what's happening there when it comes to isis. >> reporter: last year isis was not present in yemen. it's a new group. and it's mainly started when the houthis were forced to or were defeated in southern provinces by saudi allies and its forces. sadly and unfortunately, after the saudi coalition control of

many yemeni parts of the south, there was lack of seriousness bit saudi coalition, which led isis to control many of these provinces. right now isis controls more territory in yemen, when i say isis, i mean isis and other affiliated groups like al qaeda. they control more territory than the government than even the houthis in the north. this is because the majority of areas that are the houthis are come from and taken by the saudi coalition is sadly controlled by isis and aden is one example. you have other provinces. and their number today in yemen exceed in the thousands, whereas last year, there were not even in the tens. >> the saudi-led airstrikes have been going on now for 11 months. and many people, many civilians are caught up in the middle of it. what more can you tell us about civilians, getting aid to these people who are suffering in the middle of all this?

>> reporter: it's unbelievable. right now 90% of those killed have been civilians. over 20 million civilian, that's 80% of the pop haitian in yemen are suffering from severe hunger crisis, they sleep hungry. millions of children suffer from malnutrition because of this 11-months war that yemen was already the poorest country before the war, adding to that, 90% of those killed have been kif elians. the yemeni government says that number exceeds 8,500 civilians killed. in the end, this war has only caused more tragedy to civilians. this is the reason why saudi-like coalition is not succeeding in this war or not seeing any break through, because most of the casualties have been civilians. and not houthis. >> joining us from yemen, we

wish you continued safety there and we always appreciate your reporting for us here on cnn. a make-shift camp along the greek border keeps getting bigger and bigger by the day as hundreds of migrants keep arriving. a drone captured the airials that you see. macedonia has imposed tight restrictions on migrant crossings, there are more than 10,000 miegs rants stranded at that camp. the camp designed to hold just 1500 people. arwa damon caught up with some of the people at that camp to see how they're coping with the many, many challenges there. >> reporter: the children will find anything that they can to actually be able to play with. that game is called "the bus." this is the situation as it exists along the

greece/macedonia border, where the kids will do whatever they can, the way children always do with their phenomenal resilience to try to entertain themselves, but it is always phenomenally difficult on the parents. there are upwards of 10,000 people that are currently stuck here. macedonia has reduced the numbers being allowed through to about a few dozen a day, and only iraqis and syrians, and this is largely because other countries that are meant to be receiving the refugees and the migrants are saying that they simply at this stage cannot take the numbers or cope with the influx. but by simply shutting down the border, it has resulted in this massive expansion that we are seeing here right now. all of these brightly-colored tents were donated by various different organizations because the aid groups that exist here quite simply can't handle the sheer volume of people that have

been built up here at what is now a bottleneck. and you can see other families getting ready for the night. it does get bitterly cold out here at night. and then the long line of people waiting to get food. a line that they sometimes spend an hour if not two in just to get a sandwich. and everyone who we've been speaking to here say they can deal with just about anything. it's the uncertainty of it all that makes it so difficult. arwa damon, cnn, on the greece/macedonia border. tens of thousands of refugees from syria have crossed the sea from turkey into greece in just the first two months of this year, and for some, that journey was a dangerous and nightmarish journey. >> translator: we were about 60 people. we did not want to go on the boat, but they got us on it. in the middle of the sea, the

boat started sinking. i called the greek coast guard. the driver is the one who sanction the boat. >> omar told us that after the boat started sinking, the turkish coast guard rescued his five younger siblings and took then to turkey, while the greek coast guard rescued his mother and took them to greece. now after nearly two weeks of separation, that family was finally reunited in greece. a happy ending after certainly a scary ordeal. you're watching "cnn newsroom." still ahead, marco rubio's campaign suffered a rough day on super saturday. weel aex plain why he is trying to recruit puerto rico to stop the pleading. and how families have been getting by in flint, michigan without using the water supply.

370 are being remembered in malaysia. nearly two years ago, that plane mysteriously vanishes on its way to beijing. march 8th is the deadline for families to sue that airline. gunmen have executed 16 people, including four nuns, in yemen. the attack happened at an elderly home in the port city of aden. the pope is condemning it as senseless and diabolic. america's choice, 2016, our top story, the race for the white house, and mixed results from super saturday. in case you missed all the action here on cnn, here's a quick recap for you. ♪ >> the field is narrowing. only six candidates, two democrats, four republicans, with 155 delegates at stake today for the democrats. there are 109 delegates at

stake. >> i take you around the room here. you can hear people counting. >> ted cruz is the winner of the kansas republican presidential caucuses. >> senator ted cruz, with 45.84% of the vote. >> what we're seeing is men and women who love freedom. >> go back to 1880 when garfield ended up being nominated because the two front runners were completely disposed of going into the convention. that's right, i said it. garfield. >> garfieldmorris? which was your favorite grumpy cat. >> hillary clinton will win the louisiana democratic primary. >> let's try to find a little more love and kindness in our hearts. >> we have not heard the name marco rubio in a positive way all night. >> donald trump wins the louisiana republican primary. will win kentucky.

>> what's happening is a movement, and i'm very honored to say that if i were not involved, that wouldn't be happening, well, i'm only kidding. i'll say i'm kidding because i went them to say i'm a nice person. >> hillary clinton finishing the night still in the lead in terms of overall delegates but not without seeing some very big losses. >> what a night in u.s. politics. but super saturday wasn't all so super for marco rubio when all is said and done, but is he pressing on, looking ahead to his home state of florida, looking to keep his campaign alive. right now, he is in puerto rico of all places. we explain why. >> reporter: senator marco rubio making a push for puerto rico on saturday night. the senator coming here after a stop in florida in jacksonville in what was overall a disappointing super saturday for marco rubio. he only stayed in the teens and single digits in several contests through the country, including kansas, kentucky and

maine. he's still holding out hope. here's his response when i asked him about his difficult super saturday. >> look, these are important states. we were in kansas yesterday. these states have a certain profile that other candidates do better in, we realize that. but it's proportional. they're awarding delegates by proportion. we continue to pick up delegates, and weigh wi will co to do so. many of the states that voted tonight are states that quite frankly, some of my opponents do better in. we recognized that going in, but we wanted to make sure we got our fair share of delegates. we're still going to be in the winner take all states like florida and other states like that. and that's where we feel confident. >> reporter: so the big question is why is the senator in puerto rico? it only holds 23 delegates, not a huge number in the grand scheme of things, but there are victories potentially.

first, there are about 1 million puerto rican voters in florida. 99 delegates in all, if he can take them, it will sustain his campaign, at least moving forward into the next few weeks. the other symbolic victory is that puerto rico is a large hispanic population and could give the senator ammunition moving forward against donald trump and his claim that hispanics love hem. so in spite of a kidisappointin saturday for marco rubio he moves forward-looking toward florida. cnn. >> so super saturday, it is now in the books. it is in the rear view mirror, and democrats running for president, hillary clinton and bernie sanders, they're turning their attention to michigan. it is to be held tuesday in that state. our senior political correspondent brianna keilar reports that hillary clinton hopes to maintain her

substantial dell gats lead. >> reporter: the contests may have been in louisiana, but bernie sanders and hillary clinton in michigan. both of them attending the michigan democratic party dinner, where clinton congratulated sanders and didn't take him on too sharply. >> today democrats caucused and voted in louisiana, kansas and nebraska. i want to congratulate senator sanders for running a strong campaign. i am thrilled we're adding to our pledged delegate count. i'm grateful for all those who turned out to support us. but now, all eyes turn to michigan. [cheers and applause] and i can tell you this. we're going to work for every vote. >> reporter: and as sent clinton referenced there, she and her campaign are stressing their delegate lead over bernie sanders. he may have picked up more states than her on this saturday, but she picked up more

delegates. they're also stressing that her margin over bernie sanders is bigger than anyone that barack obama had in 2008. they're asserting that bernie sanders cannot best her. brianna keilar, cnn, detroit. >> the democratic candidates, hillary clinton and bernie sanders face off on the debate stage once again on the cnn democratic debate live from flint, michigan. anderson cooper moderates at 8:00 sunday here on cnn on the u.s. east coast and 1:00 monday in london. as clinton and sanders focus on michigan, both have condenled the water crisis in flint. that is where they have begun replacing pipes contaminated. two families document how their

go about their daily routines using bottled water. >> at four years old, he's got to ask for a bottle of water. it's crazy. >> couple little clips here t t that -- >> i see you. >> no matter what the test is, i don't want to test the water. i don't want to ingest the water. i don't want my kids to ingest the water. i don't want anyone in flint to ingest the water right now. we don't even brush our teeth with the water. my oldest child, madison, we use

a water bottle to rinse off and put the toothbrush in her mouth. >> say cheese. >> cheese. >> while making my daughter's, i find myself using the tap water, for now on i get up and make myself coffee, i put up about six bottles, i leave about three bottles, she gets home. >> i don't know what it is. >> my 11-year-old son, he was hospitalized. back in july of 2015, near the end of the month, with what they said the diagnosis was pneumonia. he was in icu. if he would have been seen a day

later, we are pretty sure it would have been legionnaires he did have and they refused to test for him. the hardest thing as a paerpts is to see your child suffering, being sick all the time. >> that's what hurts you more. you don't even play a part in what's wrong. how can you foiix it if you didt do it, what can an average citizen do to fix it? that's what hurts me the most. you've got young babies and it's like no one cares about their lives, like their lives didn't matter. >> i just got a quick word from my neighbors that down at city hall they're doing a water drive and they're pretty much loading your vehicle with water. so i am on my way down there now. hopefully i get enough for a while. because i personally am tired of having to run to get water.

>> you see the fellows hard at work here. loading up water. they're working their butts off. got to hand it to them and to the people who donated the water. >> want some gallons? >> whatever you want to give me. i've got a family of seven at home. >> oh, okay. he got a family of seven y'all, let's load him up! >> we have 11 40-packs of water, six gallons of water. now we won't have to get water for a couple weeks. >> i hate to say upside to it. because there is no upside to it. but the one good thing is i love how it brought our people together. i don't mean black people. i mean people from the yellow ones, to light skinned ones to pink ones to red ones. it has everybody aware and coming out and doubling and just helping, just smiling at each other. >> you have a wonderful day. >> this situation right now,

this crisis that affects every, everybody in this city, african-americans, whites, chinese, hispanics. you name it. and it's frustrating when people try to make it out that it's a racist issue and stuff like that, because there is no type of racist situation going on when it affects an entire community. >> the thing most striking about that report, just the juxtaposition of the smiles on the children's faces and these parents aware of the reality that this has happened, that it was reported and officials didn't do anything about it. things are happening now. this is "cnn newsroom." we'll be back after the break. i asked my dentist if an electric toothbrush was going to clean better than a manual. he said sure...but don't get just any one.

i heard donner pass at the moment on i-80 north of lake tahoe is undergoing pretty rough weather. and our current radar at the moment shows the batch of precipitation. we have dropping snow levels. started out at about 8,000 feet and the cold front swept through and those have dropped down to about 5500 feet at the moment. so that means places like lake tau hoy ahoe and donner pass wi continue to get snow. to give a little light into why we use this strangeterminology, it's because we follow the train from hawaii. there's the west coast of the u.s., and that is our pineapple express. it has a lot of characteristics

of tropical flow. that is our pacific moisture, it is tapping in and allowing for that deluge of rain from california to the pacific northwest. we also have a strong polar drift that's diving south that's allowing for the cold air to come in on the backside and transition this precipitation into snowfall especially at the higher elevations. we are talking about three feet of snow through monday evening for the sierra nevada mountain regions. great news for skiers and snowboarders, but of course it's going to cause headaches on the roadways and especially for lower elevations, the national weather service has glad watches from san francisco into parts of the sacramento valley and coastal flood advisories for the greater los angeles rae joegion that is thanks to the high waves with this storm. san francisco could see about three inches of rain over the next seven days, not enough to break the drought, but we will take it, because we haven't seen

that much rain in quite some time. and this is right on par with the kind of prediction center's above-average rainfall forecast at least through the extended period. 11 to 10 days on. this is interesting. this storm is going to break off an upper level system. that's going to dive into mexico. it's going to bring snowfall to the mountain ranges outside mexico city. we've got a great couple of visuals of shawn white, the man himself, winning the burton, u.s. snowboard pipe k championship. you can see why he is number one in the world at what he does. >> do you think you can do that? >> i don't think i can do that, but i will give my best. >> let's just keep you on the ground. >> i agree. >> you're watching "cnn

[cheers and applause] >> thank you to louisiana. and thank you to kentucky. >> we want to continue to increase our delegate total. and the map only gets friendly for us after tonight. it is the roughest period of the campaign given the makeup of the

electoral map. >> marco rubio had a very, very bad night. and personally, i call for him to drop out of the race. i think it's time now for him to drop out of the race. i really think so. [cheers and applause] >> today democrats caucused and voted in louisiana, kansas and nebraska. i want to congratulate senator sanders for running a strong campaign. >> the reason that we are doing so well nationally is because we are doing our best to listen to the people, not just wealthy campaign contributors.

[cheers and applause] >> here in michigan -- >> well, look, it's important. nobody has had two wins against donald. one candidate has won. we'll see the final tally. >> i would love to take on ted one on one. that would be so much fun, because ted can't win new york, can't win new jersey, can't win pennsylvania, can't win

california. i want ted one on one, okay? [ applause ] >> this democratic nomination, i have not the slightest doubt that on our worst day we will be infinitely better than the republicans on their best day. [cheers and applause] >> all right, from the ridiculous to the outrageous and the simply bizarre. the u.s. presidential race has provided plenty of comedy material for the american satirical show "saturday night live." they repeatedly made front of donald trump, and last night is no exception. what you are about to see is not cnn, but take a look. >> what a great, great night. i really many running the best campaign, aren't i? the media's saying they haven't seen anything like this. not since germany in the 1930s. i mean, everyone loves me. racists. other racists. people who didn't even know they were racist. people whose eyes are like this.

and this guy loves me, don't you? wait, what's that? get him out. >> democratic candidate hillary clinton was also mocked all be it at trump's expense. >> aren't these people great? they're strong. they're beautiful, and they've all been punched in the nose at a trump rally. and speaking of trump, he's on track to be the republican nominee. so for all of you voters who thought for years, i hate hillary, i could never vote for her, to you, i say welcome. because i've got clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. and here you are stuck in the middle with me. >> the show also made fun of republican candidate ted cruz, and plenty of material, i'm sure, in the days ahead. that is "cnn newsroom." i'm george howell. thank you for joining us.
