virus spreads. plus in bonus make a 4 fold rosia dortmund travel to braman on a quest to abandon the home side kicks dortmund out of the german cup now the black and yellows are looking for payback as i try to keep their bonus legged title hopes alive. i'm rebecca races welcome to the program u.s. senate said bernie sanders has scored a decisive victory in nevada as democratic presidential caucuses it's the 1st contest in a demographically diverse state and santa has giant laid strengthens his front runner status democratic candidates now looking ahead to the south carolina primary next week and then super tuesday on march the 3rd that's when 14 states will hold primaries including kay states like california and texas.

so far so successful for bernie sanders such was his confidence of winning in nevada he'd already moved on to another battleground texas one of the key super tuesday states in no time at all we have just put together go. multi-generational multi ridge racial coalition which is going up not only win in nevada it's going to sweep this country. the father is the most diverse state to have its say in the contest so far polling suggested saan this had done well with hispanic votes as his plans for universal health care also resonated with many i os i he's now the clear front runner but behind him the race is tightening it was a better night for this man joe biden have to disasters in iowa new hampshire you.

know the criticism pretty clear people did pretty. good you're alive you were going back you were odd law was still moderate democrats like biden and p. but you jet your concerns they worry sound as ideology plays into the hands of president donald trump but really it was before we rush to nominate senator sanders in our one shot to take on this president let us take a sober look at wasn't 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. as if to prove the points trump tweeted his congratulations to quote crazy bernie adding don't let them take he's away from you at this stage the democratic contest appears very much sound is to use the logic of both joining me in the studio is did any reports have pay to

pay to thanks for coming and how significant is this when in nevada well we're only seeing about 50 percent of precincts reporting so far but it is looking like a resounding victory for bernie sanders he's clinched nearly 47 percent of the vote as things currently stand in a field this pack that is huge we see joe biden in 2nd place but a distant 2nd and people digits in 3rd so. they're very clear when for sanders there what is so special about about as we just saw in that report is really that of the races so far this is the most representative of the broader electorate it's a much more diverse makeup and sanders won nearly every key demographic he won voters under 64 so that is you know from 718 to 64 he won his panic voters independent voters 1st time voters even voters who said that their

main priority is to be trump and that's a mantle that for a long time biden and booted judge claimed for themselves so you know he's won 2 of 3 states now. first self declared democratic socialist to be the front runner that's definitely not what the democratic establishment is predicted and what about joe biden and we witnessing the end of his kind of the beginning of the end of his campaign well we still have over 50 elections remaining so it is still too soon to tell but it's not looking good i mean fact of the matter is that the race so far has been a complete disaster for joe biden he finished 4th in iowa he finished 5th in to him . sure he's built himself this is great unifier who is able to you know bring together brought coalition but ironically that man that title has gone to one of the most divisive figures in the party and that's that's bernie sanders right.

button is likely to hang on through super tuesday obviously but if it goes the way of nevada then we are going to probably see calls for him to maybe rethink his his campaign so a lot of questions on on how things go the next couple weeks yeah well you touched on super tuesday then what do you think we can expect. well i think what we can expect is we're definitely seeing growing calls for the more moderate part of the group raise to start windowing the the field so a lot of criticism basically saying you have sanders on the one hand ask the clear kind of more anti-establishment candidate but you have biden you have booted judge you have tom styer enclosure are. a lot of candidates who are claiming to be the moderate choice the people have the best chances of beating trump. where the voters go and so at some point they're probably going to need to have to start really

focusing window that race that there's a clear alternative if the more moderate wing of the party wants to beat sanders that is going to be the big big questions and calls are certainly growing for that so far centers in a really good place all right thank you very much paula. well turning now south korea has increased its infectious disease alert to the highest level after a spike in the numbers of corona virus cases in the country in europe italian all far teens are attributing 2 deaths to the virus sparking the government to impose a travel ban on about a dozen towns in the country's north some 50000 people are affected by the lockdown the small town of don't know is at the epicenter of the outbreak there. the streets of code don't you know were empty on saturday evening people in a dozen towns in northern italy were told to stay indoors after a local woman died presumably from the coronavirus oh gee don't. sit back and of

course at the front we still can't say whether she died of the corona virus or whether she had the corona virus and died from other courses because no autopsy or other tests have been performed yet to see what your officials confirmed the number of infected persons in the lumber the region is growing we're looking for should be if we can please see the me the most i can say is that the number of people infected in our region has risen to 39. masks sold out said these at a pharmacy in the center of could don't you know earlier on saturday the town's train station was also eerily empty. hospitals in the region have been taking strong precautions. in nearby cremona health workers set up a 1st aid unit in front of the hospital for people who are believing they may be

infected. as fears grow towns like could run yo looks set to remain largely deserted until the virus is brought under control. of more i'm joined by virologist munged in frankfurt professor stem of things that joining me it seems that the source of the outbreak in italy is still unclear why is that. the post of the person contact person has been in china of course but this person has been tested negative for the virus and the person claimed that he had no symptoms at all so. this might sit more unlikely that this is a contact person however this one person explanation depends on when the meeting between these 2 persons was maybe some days ago and maybe at this time of the persons that was positive for the virus and recovered in the meantime the only

explanation i have to know to explain this cluster right at talian all far as he's taking some serious precautionary measures taken trying to contain this outbreak and they making the right decision there. they do the best they can they try to avoid person to person contact as much as possible and they try to avoid people traveling into this region and traveling outside this region so they do the best they can march early and chinese will fourteen's are reporting that being period which was originally thought to be 2 weeks could actually be a lot longer how likely is that. this is a single case it was a 70 years old man and you had $27.00 days no symptoms positive why was test so although it's a single case that shows us that it's might be even more complicated to get the virus on the control. and one of the latest countries to be affected by the outbreak is iran with 2028 in confirmed cases at the moment and 6 deaths how

serious is the situation they. need serious because if you calculate the numbers of this compared to the numbers of infected people they report for me it seems that we have more people infected with open knowing that actually so when it's serious there. with the exception of egypt africa hasn't bayne yet affected by the outbreak but the world health organization has warned that an african health systems are on well equipped enough to cope with a potential outbreak what needs to be done there. yeah it's the best ways to spend as much. as much money as we can to to prepare them for for being for for having the virus in their countries however i'm not sure whether it's possible or we hope hopefully the virus will look come to africa munched on a reporting for us from frankfurt thank you. it's turn now to some of the other
