>> glor: good evening, i'm jeff glor and this is a western edition of the broadcast. ted cruz and bernie sanders scored small victories this weekend with potentially big implications in the race for president. cruz picked up 34 delegates in colorado, inching closer to donald trump. sanders won the wyoming caucuses yesterday. and is now beaten hillary clinton in seven of the last eight states. clinton remains far ahead in the delegate counts. the next big contest is new york, one week from tuesday. here's julianna goldman. >> reporter: it was the battle of the boroughs today, bernie sanders crabbed hot dogs on brooklyn coney island. hillary clinton vitsed certainly churches in queens. >> so i am hummably asking for your support. >> reporter: she needs a victory on april 19th to halt bernie sanders winning streak. while the delegate math is still stacked against him, he's flush with cash and showing no signs of exiting. >> i believe that we have a real path to victory. >> reporter: sanders may have backed away from questioning whether clinton is qualified to
6:02 pm
be president but he's not backing down. >> maybe her judgement is not quite as high as it should be. >> i don't have any, anything negative to say about him. i expect to be the nominee. >> reporter: even as sanders aides predict a contested convention, clinton says her sights are set on the republicans who are facing the far more likely open convention scenario. ally today in donald trump who was in rochester railing against the emphasis on delegates over voters. >> so i watch bernie. he wins. they always say he has no chance. why doesn't he have a chance? because the system is corrupt. and it's worse in the republican side. because i'm up millions of votes on cruz, millions. >> y'all have been in part of something incredible. >> reporter: ted cruz's colorado sweep this weekend shows that he's long understood the importance of securing supporters as delegates. trump's convention strategist says he's not playing fair. >> you see the gestapo tactics. >> gestapo tactics. >> how about that stupid boston
6:03 pm
gloab, it's worthless, sold for a dollar. >> reporter: in another twist to this roller coaster campaign today's "boston globe" frinted its front page satirically imagining what it called a troubling future under a trump presidency. the stories range from trump starting mass deportations to financial markets sinking as a result of trade wars. now hillary clinton got some help from president obama today when it comes to that fbi investigation into her proif at e-mail server. in an interview with fox news, he downplayed the classified information that was in her e-mails saying she has not jeopardized national security. >> glor: julianna goldman, thank you. for more on all of this, let's bring in cbs news elections director anthony salvanto it seems at this point these campaigns are less focused state by state but delegate by delegate, each one so important. what is happening right now? >> well, because it is so closely contested and because these states are coming, for example, in new york, are giving out their delegates on a local level, on a district level, so even candidates who feel they might come up short in new york,
6:04 pm
like kasich or cruz, are going through looking for pockets of support in some of those districts, maybe they can cut into done all trump's lead by doing that. >> glor: and it's not just the primaries. this week ted cruz got more delegates in colorado's state convention largely because he was better organized on the ground. >> the really interesting thing here, jeff, is that when you start fighting for delegates, these campaigns are looking to a potentially open or brokered convention. they want the most loyal supporters in those delegates slots so that if there is a floor fight f delegates start arguing on the floor of the convention, it's their most loyal supporters who are there fighting for them. >> glor: trump still holds a solid lead of about 200 gel gats over ted cruz but could the state contests stall his path further at this poipt? >> yeah, the trick for everyone trying to catch donald trump is to try to slow him down enough that it denies him a majority of the delegates. and in order to do that, they have to not only cherrypick delegate counts here and there as we go through the states, but
6:05 pm
donald trump's path is now very close to that majority. he's got to keep winning and keep winning big or will fall short. >> glor: anthony salvanto, thanks very much. >> thanks. >> glor: belgian authorities said the terrorists who struck brussels last month were initially planning to attack france again but changed their target and sped up their plan as police closed in. yesterday belgian prosecutors said terror suspect mo ham easy an written aye confessed to being the man in the hat at the brussels airport. he was arrested friday and has also been linked to the paris attacks last november. more than a hundred were killed and hundreds more injured in southern india today when an illegal fireworks show set off a huge explosion and a fire at a hindu temple. jonathan vigliotti has more on this. >> reporter: from a distance, they looked like ordinary fireworks. the crowds cheered on. but up close it was a fire
