will hold primaries including key 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. multigenerational 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 sound as had done well with hispanic votes this 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 press is ready to clear people did pretty. good you're alive you were going back you were odd lee was still moderate democrats like biden and jet your concerns they were a sound as ideology plays into the hands of president tonal trump. for a while 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 it stick 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

away from you at this stage the democratic contest appears very much sound as to loose the washington post all right for some more on all this i'm joined in the studio now by william glue craft so william hello to you anderson tell us just how significant this vote in nevada was it's significant although i think some of the significance is a bit overhyped 1st of all only 50 percent of the vote about has been counted so far but that is enough apparently to call this solidly for bernie sanders as we noted the report nevada is more demographically diverse than the previous primary and caucuses iowa and new hampshire but it's very relative given just how white iowa and new hampshire are and when it comes to hampshire how much relatively wealthier it is but nevada does have a significant latino population it has a more working class population so it is a bit more representative of the united states as

a whole is horse in the southwest united states very geographically different and bernie was able to hold his support and show as he said in his own speech that he does have broad support across age demographic. a class of these kinds of traditional barriers that used to decide how and why people vote for certain candidates so it is a signal that that that the democratic voters are coalescing around bernie sanders all right and now sanders sanders a win in this caucus was quite significant it was by quite a large margin in 2nd place it was joe biden but that was quite far away does this mean biden is done as he finished nothing means anything yet but you make perfect point bernie sanders so far has more of the popular vote then almost bite him booted judge and close which are combined the 3 candidates seen as. the more moderate part of this menu of tablets you might say joe biden is certainly not

calling it quits none of these candidates are calling it quits it's very interesting the different strategies that the tad of it's are using and not just rely on i won new hampshire to gain that momentum right out of the gate but joe biden is eagerly waiting for south carolina which is the 1st primer with a large black population and polling shows that black americans are really behind joe biden but with bernie sanders having so much momentum coming out of these 3 states now it will be interesting to see if that continues people continue in south carolina to stick by joe biden as they have or if they start to migrate over to bernie sanders and then we have super tuesday where michael bloomberg has is waiting in the wings with his hundreds of millions of dollars to see if his strategy of just focusing on super tuesday works so we're far away from making any kind of does any kind of decisions all right. always great to hear your insights. all right let's turn our attention to our other top story now and a spike in the number of corona virus cases in south korea has prompted the country

i spoke to virologist martin in frankfurt and i asked him why the source of the outbreak in italy is still unclear. yeah the possible personal 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 possible explanation depends on when the meeting between these 2 persons was maybe some days ago and maybe at this time of the persons there was positive for the virus and we come out in the mean time and that it's the only explanation i have worked up to now to explain this cluster. now to some of the other stories making news around the world an earthquake has killed at least 8 people in eastern turkey along the border region to iran more than $1000.00
