nothing for granted i want to earn every single vote in every single state. biden and sanders are both in their late seventy's our correspondent alexander found and asked voters if their advanced age was a problem. and he is the current run from the former vice president joe biden at the age of $77.00. his rival bernie sanders is one year older of the self-proclaimed democratic socialist campaigns tirelessly this fight having suffered a heart attack. they both hope to oust the incumbent in the white house president donald trump is age 73 but that age really matter. ever for a younger candidate but i also really appreciate experience the wisdom and experience is definitely important but i think it's also equally important to. those younger candidates that can. relate better to the younger. younger majority

now as a millennial i mean i like to see my voice represented obviously wrestling is mental capacities or. you know a candidate can serve to their ability older or more experienced politicians aren't on the usual in u.s. politics but there has never been a moment in american history when so many top contenders for the presidency have been in their seventy's meaning questions about age related to concern you are taking a new volume and importance. joe biden's verbal gaffes for example have become so regular that his critics are openly discussing whether he's fit for office while many young voters criticize his vision for america as being to our interests toward the past bernie sanders seems popular among young voters who hope for a big systemic change but on inauguration day he'll will be 79 years old

a year pos the average lifespan up an american male because the president of. you ask is such a powerful position it's natural for voters to be concerned with the health of the candidates. professor of public policy at georgetown university and the voters will also need to look very carefully at who the vice presidential candidates are it's not unreasonable to think that one of those vice president candidates may become president should the president become incapacitated or die while in office. and the young democrats captain fairfax virginia they agree here that having a good running mate and a good team is important but what they don't seem to agree on the ad is the candidates when i prefer joe biden i think he has. been mostly doing a good job in the senate and the job in the as a vice president for barack obama i didn't agree with everything he did but i trust

that at this point he's our best option for stabilizing the government and also america's place in the world believe bernie sanders is the best chance i believe that i think he's touching into something that donald trump cuts into my compass of the despair of the country lot of people feeling that you know the economy is not serving us right now i'm looking for the individual who really is going to bring people to the polls and that's really important because if we don't bring people to the polls we're going to find ourselves in the same boat as we were . that's why they say they want to support whoever ends up becoming the nominee and challenges donald trump. time for a brief look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. turkey's health minister has confirmed the 1st coronavirus case in the country male patient is family and people who had close contact with him are under observation

mr also said the men caught the virus in europe but declined to say in which country. violence broke out in venezuela's capital caracas as participants in a demonstration and by self-proclaimed president clashed with security forces police used tear gas to stop the protesters from marching on the national legislature which pro-government lawmakers seized in. and 2 months after hosting a summit on the libya conflict germany's chancellor met with libya's eastern commander in berlin angela merkel stressed the importance of a ceasefire and a political solution during the talks general hell if i have to are and his rebel forces have been fighting the un backed libyan government control of the capital tripoli since last april the russian parliament has backed president putin's plans to allow himself to stay in office until 2036 when he would be $83.00 he told the duma that the changes to the constitution were necessary to guarantee the country's

future stability currently the russian president can only serve 2 consecutive terms . if the changes are approved that limit would remain but putin would be allowed to run again after his current term ends in 2024 and with us women. but you mean we're not passing amendments for a year or so or even for a decade i hope that they will be in power over a longer historic perspective. at least 30 to 50 years time. and in such a long run people must have guaranteed regular changes of power well secured because you them we need to think of the future generation of us so i don't think it's worth removing the number of presidential terms from the constitution and we spoke to our correspondent millions sure when in moscow and i asked her for more

information about what these constitutional changes might mean these measures essentially if they are passed and if the constitutional court here in russia proves them they mean they they mean a kind of reset button for presidential terms here in russia after all president putin is currently in his 2nd of 2 consecutive terms his term in office and in 2024 and according to the current constitution he can't run again after that now these measures could remove that hurdle and could mean that he can run again in 2024 now we just heard him saying that he doesn't want term limits to be gotten rid of overall but essentially since he started his term in office people have been discussing what will happen next and when he announced constitutional changes in january everyone has been here experts have been theorizing about what that could mean for putin himself what role he could take on and it seems that he does want to stay president in what observers here have been calling
