vote tally is now expected later today. little of the rallies had long been organized but the victory speech is now on ice democratic presidential candidate joe biden was one of the favorites to win in the iowa caucuses his was hinted it had been a difficult night was the with the war in the case is going to be close we're going to walk out here with our share of delegates we don't know exactly what it is yet but we feel good about where we are and look so so it's on a new hampshire was south carolina well beyond the rest of the mahdi. militia is the delay has coolest embarrassment for the democrats biden's campaign wrote a letter demanding a full explanation for the problems. but how the candidates
6:03 pm
used to delay to declare their successes regardless of when those results already filed so i have a good feeling we're going to be doing very very well here was a night an improbable became an undeniable reality was and if the candidates weren't getting ahead of themselves their supporters were and is to cluster call so i'm just going to tell you what i do know you was was early a vote is headed to more than 1600 locations across the state to take part in the caucus democratic officials responsible for communicating the results plain to folks with the reporting my bought up all the candidates are united in their dislike of president donald trump but his campaign has laptop what it called
6:04 pm
a meltdown mekons he would run a caucus and they want to run the government no thank you trump's campaign manager tweeted. it's unclear when the results will be announced for now iowa is on committees. uncommitted but everybody is laser focused on iowa want to take you now to our correspondent. how the fully ileus is in washington d.c. watching this all unfold how low how have the stakes just got so much higher for the democratic presidential hopefuls as a result of these poll problems in iowa. i laid it well it's definitely given us plenty to discuss that's for sure and we saw a little bit of the action from all you would there but it was interesting to see how mayor pete but a judge essentially declared himself the winner and disposed the longer that we don't have a result it's almost probably good for him and so a ways because it sort of more and more people believe that he was the winner but
6:05 pm
at the moment we also saw how bernie sanders and amy clover shar rallies with sort of plenty of celebration elizabeth warren a little bit more conservative will say in her approach she had been expected to do very well in iowa but of course very tight lipped as so far but it's interesting to hear from joe biden that when the days leading up to this caucus in iowa it looked like he was going to perform as well as he had perhaps hoped and actually his communications director has come out on that today saying that the campaign has real concerns about the integrity of the process now as you mentioned there it was referring in some ways to the app which was communicating the results and you know we're going to have to wait for it today at some point to see exactly what the final result is. really waiting to see what happens now president donald trump has also taken aim at the caucus chaos in iowa by tweeting this the democratic caucus
6:06 pm
is an unmitigated disaster nothing works just like they ran the country remember the $5000000000.00 obamacare website that should have cost 2 percent of that the only person that can claim a very big victory in iowa last night is trump that brings me back to you a public damaging is this debacle for the democrats. well it's damaging because it's giving president trump plenty of fodder for you know the messages in the tweets that we've seen he was calling them incompetent the democrats really messed up and we even heard from his campaign manager and president trump's who said that they can even run a caucus and then they want to run the government so you know this is very good for president trump who let's not forget is likely to be acquitted in the impeachment vote which is expected to take place on wednesday and all of this ahead of trump's annual state of the union address a later today ok lots to look forward to publicly ileus reporting from washington thank you next to 2 or other top story

6:12 pm
are on the rise but we can do something against it therefore today we want to call on everybody in europe to beating cancer plan to contribute to a solution and one of the concrete steps what can the european union do with the individual member states cannot do we have a large convening power 1st of all if we look at the topic of prevention we could do way more because we know that 40 percent of all cancers are preventable and only 3 percent of the health budgets are invested in prevention so broaden the knowledge about prevention secondly modern technology the european budget can contribute in investing in modern technology that a life savers for cancer diseases and for example the horizon europe program can contribute massively in developing these modern technologies and the 3rd part is screening and early detection so we know that every woman every man should have access to screening because this is the best way to fight cancer you
6:13 pm
just touched on screening and there appears to be some inequality within the individual member states when it comes to screening and access to medical treatment what has to be done about this we have to find a common ground on access to screening and it's the right of every person to have access to screening or for example vaccination when we're talking about cervical cancer and it is very important for us to make understood that this screening is lifesaving so a lot we know for example that 15000 women persia here are dying of cervical cancer in. the european union part of these deaths could have been prevented if there would have been early screening and access to vaccination and to broaden this knowledge and to find a common way to move forward is important in this you are beating cancer plan and you do remain positive that in 20 years time nobody in the european union will have to die from cancer anymore this is our goal we have to step up and work hard for it
