2:00 am
>> thank you. if you haven't heard of a guy named bernie, you have now. he is the winner in the u.s. state of nevada and the caucus there demanding victory for bernie sanders. also following the coronavirus for you. another spike in cases in south korea. cnn is live on the streets of seoul for you. in just a few hours, donald trump on his way to india. we unpack the president's itinerary. we are live from cnn headquarters in the atl. i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen.
2:01 am
"newsroom" starts right now. 5:01 on the u.s. east coast. if you're just waking up, the results are clear. bernie sanders is the undisputed frontrunner to challenge donald trump presently. >> he is the winner in the nevada state caucuses. early results showing how decisive a victory it is. look at that with half of the precincts reporting. sanders has more than double support of his next closest rival joe biden and pete buttigieg holding steady in third ahead of elizabeth warren. >> amy klobuchar and tom steyer and the vermont senator is looking ahead addressing supporters in the state of texas. shortly after it became clear
2:02 am
that he won nevada. >> i think all of you know we won the popular vote in iowa. we won the new hampshire primary. and according to three networks and the ap, we have now won the nevada caucus. >> senator sanders hopes his nevada win will propel him to victory and, of course, the votes to come. our ryan nobles is traveling with the sanders campaign. >> reporter: senator bernie sanders will spend his sunday in texas. this after being able to claim victory in the nevada caucuses, a convincing win that will allow sanders and his campaign to say they're three and three. and sanders already thinking about these super tuesday states despite the fact that the caucuses were happening in nevada on saturday. he spent his entire day in texas
2:03 am
with an event in el paso and another event here in san antonio. sanders making his message very clear to his supporters here. this wasn't just about winning one state, they plan on winning the democratic nomination and the white house. >> in nevada and in new hampshire and in iowa, what we showed is that our volunteers are prepared to knock on hundreds and hundreds of thousands of doors. that no campaign has a grassroots movement like we do. which is another reason why we're going to win this election. >> and what is very important about this win in nevada for the sanders team is because it was the first date with a diverse set of voters casting ballots. according to the cnn entrance poll sanders won every demographic group he won with latino voters and very well with african-american voters, as well. that bodes well for him as they move into the states that are
2:04 am
more diverse, south carolina among them and the big super tuesday prizes of california and here in texas. ryan nobles, cnn, san antonio, texas. the former vice president joe biden is tweeting his distant second place finish as the beginning of a comeback. it is a vast improvement on his fourth and fifth place showings in iowa and new hampshire. >> trying to paint himself as the best alternative to sanders as he eyes the next contest. >> i think we're in a position now to move on in a way that we haven't been until this moment. i think we're going to go and we're going to win in south caroli carolina. and then super tuesday and we are on our way. >> and then a similar message from the third place finisher pete buttigieg and wasting no time spreading it.
2:05 am
>> the candidate immediately flew to colorado to hold a rally there following the nevada outcome. his message an urgent plea that voters look to him instead of the candidate to take on president trump. >> congratulate senator sanders on a strong showing today knowing that we celebrate many of the same ideals. but before we rush to nominate senator sander in our one shot to take on this president, let us take a sober look at what is at stake for our party, for our values and for those with the most to lose. senator sanders believes in an inflexible, ideological revolution that leaves out most democrats, not to mention most americans. this is our shot. this is our only shot to beat donald trump. i'm asking americans to make sure we get this choice right. >> let's get some context now with leslie, the head of u.s.
2:06 am
and american program at the international affairs think tank. always good to have you. >> thank you, george. >> let's talk about bernie sanders' convincing win across some very important demographics. there is enthusiasm at least in this mome it seems to be on his side. but centrist democrats are concerned just as centrist republicans were concerned are democrats in danger of missing a certain degree of momentum here if they push against this campaign? >> yeah, well, that is clearly the question. the progressive side of the democratic party and now in the person of bernie sanders is taking the lead. it looks like it's his nomination to lose and he is turning out young people. he is turning out union voters and nonunion voters and the latin american vote and he got
2:07 am
50% of that vote and that becomes very important in super tuesday and states like california and texas. that big question whether or not a progressive candidate can take the nomination and then be a viable leader in the general election against president trump, that is the outstanding question. that first part, you know, the moderates continue to divide the vote. joe biden hasn't delivered in the way that people initially thought he would. bloomberg is, of course, going to peel off a lot of votes. a big question as to how many and if that continues then the likelihood of bernie sanders staying out in front of this looks very considerable. >> which is similar to what we saw with the president. his supporters. you know, kept at a certain level while the other candidates, the many on stage essentially divided the vote. as these candidates continue to divide the vote, does there some a point where they have to say
2:08 am
at some point people have to step aside here? >> well, looking at it from the outside, if you're not one of those candidates, that certainly seems like the rational choice that at some point of the party if it wants to really run a serious race on super tuesday and beyond and it gets very difficult after that, then they need to consolidate on a single candidate, but right now there is nobody that is talking about stepping aside. >> just a bit more on the sanders appeal at this point. his appeal to voters. is that appeal enough, do you believe to do what some suggest that could bridge a divide with some of the president's supporters? >> it is interesting, right. he's got a very different political bias. he's on the left, not on the right. but he has a similar tack, right? he's focusing on america's inequality which is dramatic.
2:09 am
the most unequal country in the world. he's focusing on those who have been left behind. he plays well to those states that are very important in the last general election and likely to be very important in the next general election. that's michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania. he talks about education. he talks about the need for health care. and what he doesn't speak to that, of course, donald trump managed to do very effectively was to speak to that base that lower income class in the united states. but donald trump also managed to speak to wealthy americans because it was clear he was for corporate tax cuts and that he was going to reduce tax on the wealthy and that is not the case with bernie sanders. bernie sanders has a very different message. raise tax on wealthy americans and undertake a series of policies that won't be persuasive when you start to talk about that higher income and more moderate demographic in
2:10 am
the united states. and this is, of course, what the moderate arm of the democratic party is very concerned about in a general election. >> keeping in mind that biden, buttigieg and, you know, other candidates certainly behind bernie sanders. but there is one question that could come into play here very soon. it is michael bloomberg. how do you see that factoring in here, leslie? >> you know, the noise is all over the place with michael bloomberg. he didn't do well in the debates, but a lot of people are not basing their votes and their choices on the debates. he is putting a lot of money, as we know, into advertising which is effective to put him on the map and put him into that debate and for a lot of americans i think bloomberg would be a viable alternative if he would get the nomination because he does speak to the moderates across the aisle. he's somebody who somebody would have confidence in with the economy. business would have confidence
2:11 am
in. it would give them an alternative to president trump. but getting through, getting through this bernie sanders lead, getting the moderate wing of the democratic party to coalesce around his candidacy. right now it looks like the risk that bloomberg threatens to divide the vote on the moderate side. if biden and bloomberg and buttigieg go into super tuesday, it looks like it's a vote for bernie sanders. >> it will be interesting also to see in these next contests which happens with african-americans voters which is a very critical demographic here with who gets ahead here. leslie, thank you. >> thank you. 600 cases of coronavirus in less than a week, but it's not in china. south korea is now on high alert and two other countries, as well. we'll have live reports coming up. plus, all eyes on the spread of the coronavirus but a far more common illness. it is still a deadlier threat.
2:12 am

2:16 am
that we're going to beat him here in texas. right there in george's home state. bernie sanders already looking towards future contests after emerging the projected winner of the nevada caucuses. he won a greater share of the vote than the next three candidates. that's joe biden, pete buttigieg and elizabeth warren combined as you can see there. >> and others. amy klobuchar, tom steyer and tulsi gabbard. the coronavirus now appears to have gained a foothold in europe. more than 110 cases have been confirmed in italy, including two deaths. 80% of all cases are in china's hubei province which account for 95% of the deaths. >> there are close to 80,000 total cases there. the vast majority, 77,000, are in china. the total number of deaths is
2:17 am
nearing 2,500. again, most in china's hubei province. >> south korea is now at its highest alert level over the virus. more than 600 new cases were reported in less than one week. five people there have died. we want to go to all the regions that are on alert. our ivan watson is live in seoul and blake in tokyo for us and barbara has the latest from rome. ivan, let's start with you. how big is the concern there in seoul? >> well, the south korean government has announced that it's raising the crisis alert level to its highest level at this point in response to the outbreak. the south korean president moon saying that it is facing a water shed moment. the next couple days are critical and they need to identify additional cases of q
2:18 am
possible and urging the population not to gather in large groups. take a listen. >> translator: we have vividly witnessed how dangerous it is to have masked meetings in an enclosed indoor place. i urge everyone to restrain themselves from group events or activities not only in indoor places, but also outdoor places which can harm others. the people of the country. >> president moon also says it moves to stop gatherings of a south korean religious movement were not aimed at restricting religious freedom. it was also in the interest of public health. now, the reason he mentioned that religious group is that roughly half of the cases of coronavirus in south korea involve members of that religious organization. and in particular, gatherings that took place in the southern
2:19 am
city where a big cluster of the infections have been originating from. and we were just broadcasting in the last hour from outside one building here in seoul that is operated by that religious group and one of their members came out and he said he was bristling at criticism that he says the organization has faced from within south korean society saying it feels like a 19th century witch-hunt here at this time. there have been other calls to stop these public gatherings from the seoul city government about weekend opposition, political protests that take place but they were absolutely flouted by members of opposition groups that went ahead and gathered in the thousands downtown here in seoul on saturday and on sunday. there was a large police presence but no moves to try to break up those gatherings. that's one of the challenges
2:20 am
that the south korean government could face as it tries to tackle the growing health crisis. >> ivan watson there in seoul. iv ivan, thank you. now to toqkyo, japan, blake has the latest. >> the good news is all the passengers are off the "diamond princess." the bad news is that we learned that 23 of these passengers did so without following the proper quarantine protocol and specifically what happened was when this ship was quarantined on february 5th passengers were tested for the coronavirus and to get off the ship and disembark, you had to be tested again. these 23 passengers never received the second test. so at this point we heard from japan's health minister who has come out and apologized and he said this was a big mistake and
2:21 am
vows that it will never happen again. but the problem here, jorgeorget already has happened and even though the japanese government is in the process of trying to track down these 23 passengers wherever they are in japan and have them retested at this point they returned home already using public transportation. we've also learned that there was a 60-year-old woman. she did follow the japanese quarantine protocol after she returned home, she developed symptoms and has since tested positive for the coronavirus making her the first passenger out of the more than 900 passengers to disembark over the last several days to return home and having follow the protocol and tested positive for the virus. these are two specific cases which really speak to the concern that we have been hearing over the past several days and even weeks before that about the effectiveness of this quarantine from infectious disease specialists, governments around the world and japanese
2:22 am
residents right here in japan. george. >> blake in japan, thank you. those are some stories from asia and let's turn to europe now and barbie is in rome, italy. tell us about the threat and the background on these cases. >> well, the officials are telling us now they have 111 confirmed cases, but that could go up during the day as more and more people are tested. most of this is centered in the north of the country into these clusters. and ten towns and villages have actually been locked down, which means that there is absolutely no public transportation within the cities. the trains don't stop when they roll through. people can't go to sunday mass and the soccer games have been canceled. people are going to be fined or even put into jail for three months if they defy these orders by the government over the last 24 hours. and that's causing a lot of concern as these numbers go up.
2:23 am
the authorities, though, have taken extraordinary measures even all the way across the country. they suspended all scholastic travel in to and out of the country. in milan the mayor just announced that they're canceling university classes tomorrow and for the foreseeable future. a sense of urgency and a little paranoia on how to contain this virus and make sure it doesn't spread to other parts and right now the officials are doing everything they can to make sure that everyone who has come into contact with these 111 cases is tested and that their trail is followed to see where they might have gone or who they may have been in contact with. in these ten little towns and villages in the north of the country, they actually just started to set up the food corridors to get food in there without having to have anyone potentially contaminate themselves. natalie? >> barbie nadeau for you in
2:24 am
rome. thank you so much. as the coronavirus spreads around the world, a common virus is a more serious threat here in the u.s. >> american health officials say more than 100 children have already died this season alone from more common strains of influ wensa. dr. sant jjay gupta tells us th overall death toll from the flu is enormous. >> when public health officials describe this flu season so far, they're describing it as having started early. early as in september opposed to typically october and also being particularly hard on kids. you know, we've been talking a lot about the coronavirus this year. let me show you numbers so far this season. some 29 million illnesses. 280,000 hospitalizations and 16,000 deaths. when we look at hospitalization number, the most hospitalizations occur in people who are 65 and older but the next biggest category is
2:25 am
newborns to 4 years old. so, this flu can be particularly hard on kids. and this year so far has been the worst year for kids. if you take out 2009, which was the h1n1 flu pandemic, this is one of the worst years in regard to the flu. quickly looking at flu numbers here and, again, coronavirus and we've been talking about coro coronavirus so much and on the right global numbers for corona and flu does cause a lot more illness and death in the united states and around the world. the reason there continues to be such concern about coronavirus is because it is a new virus. whenever you have a new virus, you're not exactly sure how it will behave and how it will trend or if it will continue to mutate. those are things that researchers are keeping an eye on. certainly here in the united states, we have to keep an eye on flu, as well. can't take our eye off the ball
2:26 am
and not too late to get the flu shot. something we talk about a lot. back to you. >> it never is. we have an update on the coronavirus and we're just learning that pakistan has closed its border with iran to try to stop the spread of cor a coronavirus. that is a step they have taken. >> the virus certainly a threat around the world. elizabeth warren is not backing down with her attacks on michael bloomberg. >> what she is saying now about the new york mayor. that is coming up here. new york has spent a fortune on new voting machines and that is a problem. the big primary vote is just ahead. pain receptors for effective, non-addictive relief. salonpas lidocaine. patch, roll-on or cream. hisamitsu.

>> billionaire who hides his taxes and has a bad history with women and defends racist policies. let me just put it this way. we're not just substituting one -- >> elizabeth warren taking the shot at fellow candidate mike bloomberg who skipped the first four early contests including nevada. warren is projected to come in fourth behind bernie sanders, joe biden and pete buttigieg and elizabeth warren is in fourth place. >> elizabeth warren is taking a different approach from biden and buttigieg instead of attacking the clear frontrunner bernie sanders, she's going after a candidate who wasn't even on the nevada ballot. >> for more, here's mj lee for us. >> senator elizabeth warren addressed thousands of supporters here in seattle, washington, after a disappointing showing in nevada. as soon as she took the stage, she congratulated her colleague
2:31 am
senator bernie sanders and then went on the attack against michael bloomberg. clearly her campaign recognizing that her strategy of going negative on bloomberg has been helpful to her campaign. take a listen. >> i want to talk specifically for just a minute at the top about a threat that is coming our way. and it's a big threat. not a tall one, but a big one. michael bloomberg. now, this is important to pay attention to now. because he has skipped the first four states and he plans to come in on super tuesday and immediately afterwards here in washington, drop hundreds of millions of dollars and buy this election. >> now, speaking of michael bloomberg, his campaign senior adviser telling cnn today that they worry that given the pace
2:32 am
at which bernie sanders is currently amassing delegates that they worry no democrat in the race that can catch up to bernie sanders. just one more sign of sort of the concern within the democratic party about how well bernie sanders is currently doing in the democratic primary and turning back to senator warren. the campaign is focusing on the strategy for super tuesday contests and beyond in march. the campaign says they feel very good about the last debate she had in las vegas and that they are feeling very good about the fund-raising boost that the senator was able to get after that debate, as well. clearly this is a campaign even though they had a disappointing showing in nevada they are trying to look forward and say they still have a path forward in the 2020 race. back to you. las vegas, of course, known around the world for its hotels and casinos working there thousands of nevada voters. >> and many of those casino and shift workers were not able to
2:33 am
take off to vote. so, several casinos in vegas allowed them to participate anyway. lucy was at the belaggio hotel and casino. >> an unusual caucus site because it is one of seven famous sites so they allowed shift workers to come here and participate. union workers, nonunion workers, restaurant employees, people who aren't simply able to take time off to go to their home precincts, they were able to come here to this casino, to this room right here to cast their ballots and participate in this caucus. the results we saw were quite interesting. 61.8% of the people here went for bernie sanders. senator sanders. 36.6% went for joe biden.
2:34 am
1.6, that's just two people remained uncommitted. and that was a very interesting break down because we saw a lot of union workers participating here. some question as to whether the culinary union was distancing itself from senator bernie sanders. but the results, again, sanders taking the lead with 61.8% of the vote. now, we have to stress this is just one caucus location, one of many. 2,000 locations participating here in nevada. this is just one of them. it's a microcosm look at how this election is playing out. nevada the third state to have its say in who the democratic nominee should be. cnn, las vegas. officials spent big money building voting machines from scratch. they hope this fleet will be the voting system of the future. >> we need one that solid. >> seems like we do. >> without hanging chad.
2:35 am
>> hanging chads. >> i had to say it. but the new machines are bringing a wave of controversy. here we go. >> after that catastrophic caucus confusion in iowa. >> i apologize deeply. >> reporter: eyes and some side eyes now turning to california. there's a presidential primary here march 3rd and los angeles county will debut a brand-new super accessible, multi-lingual voting system. >> unfortunately one consequence is that security hasn't gotten as much attention as it should have. >> this is not connected to the internet. this is just an interface that produces paper in the end. >> that's exactly right. >> reporter: not online, but still electronic. >> any device with the cpu can be hacked. >> reporter: it's called the voting solutions for all people system, but not all people are happy. >> the biggest security flaw and the design of the ballot marking device is the fact that the
2:36 am
paper goes back under the print head on its way to the ballot box. >> i'll go and reinsert that. >> that's an opportunity for the printer to alter votes and alter the qr code. >> reporter: california secretary of state has certified the machines with some conditions that must be addressed before that general election in november, but not before the primary. for example, testing showed a paper misfeed rate of 1 in a little over 100. state law requires better than one in 500. >> is it below that now? >> it has not been. no, it is not below that now. >> reporter: also, only room for four names on that screen. voters will have to scroll down on a longer slate. >> when we did our mock election test back in september, that was not glowing. that wasn't there. >> okay. >> this was physically a little smaller. >> reporter: those tweaks still not enough for beverly hills which is suing all candidates
2:37 am
should be candidates and they may not realize they're bypassing additional candidates. l.a. county hasn't had new voting machines since bobby kennedy was on the ballot way back in '68. >> thanks to all of you. it's on to chicago and let's win there. >> reporter: the county is trying hard to educate everyone with psas. >> a vote center assistant will greet you and check you in. >> reporter: mailers and outreach to the media, including foreign language media. and there will be contingency plans in place. >> right. so, i mean, you are quite confident this is going to be okay. >> i am. >> reporter: nick watt, cnn, los angeles. still ahead, the leaders of the world's two largest democracies are set to meet on monday. what is on the agenda as the u.s. president heads to india.
2:38 am
cnn is live in new delhi with that report for you. also ahead here is the new acting director of national intelligence trying to clean house. apparently it's all about loyalty in the white house. a lot of healthy foods are very acidic and they're actually pulling out the minerals from the enamel.

2:42 am
there. >> people in india have gone to great lengths to prepare for this visit. kaitlin collins has more. >> his first state trip to india somewhere he has not visited since taking office although him and the prime minister shared the stage here in america before. this will look different. this is the state visit and will take two days and going back and forth to different locations in the country and this comes at what could be a welcome time for the president. but as he's facing his own troubles in washington that coming off of that impeachment inquiry, the acquittal vote and his confidant being sentenced to over three years in prison, but also a welcome distraction for prime minister modi who has been facing his own political troubles back at home. but now he'll have president trump on his home turf hoping to give him a boost as they are taking part in these banquets and these dinners and a rally
2:43 am
where the president is promised he will see millions of people during this visit there. now, the question is going to come down to whether or not they were going to sign any kind of a limited trade agreement, any weapons purchases that may be on the table because we know so far their trade teams have not seen eye to eye so far where they come close to making it an agreement. the president may be more encouraged to do so and he is hoping to have some wins he could tout on the campaign trail. overall a quick visit. two days on the ground for president trump there in india. kaitlan collins, washington. let's go to india now. our senior international correspondent sam kylie joining us there in new delhi. what's the feeling there, sam, about this visit from president trump? >> well, natalie, that has to be said. quite a bit of enthusiasm for president trump here in india
2:44 am
with showing an approval rating for him at 53%. he would like to get those kind of numbers back home, no doubt, in this election year. this could be his final foreign in the process before the elections begin or the election process starts in earnest up to negative. it is an opportunity for him to pay his respects in some ways to prime minister modi, who one might describe as donald trump's indian guru since it is mr. modi who pioneered the populous politics that took mr. trump to power. mr. modi has campaigned very successfully and re-elected in the summer of last year with a majority of his party on outright hindu nationalism. he has been suffering some setbacks in terms of nationwide protests earlier this year against what is his opponents
2:45 am
describe as muslim legislation which requires refugees from neighboring nations to prove they are not muslim to get indian nationality. but nonetheless, he is also taking mr. trump for his first visit to his home state of gujarat. sectarian killing which at the beginning of the decade last decade nearly 1,000 muslims were killed and nonetheless donald trump says he believes he could see a turn out in favor of him of some 10 million. i think he got himself in a muttal there. there are an awful lot 1.4, but local authorities don't expect more than 100,000 people to turn out and welcome mr. trump. and welcome they are expected to do because mr. modi has
2:46 am
