was thinking about bernie sanders but is now all the way on board with amy klobuchar. the reason why, he thinks she's genuine. judy: it goes back to the electability thing, can a woman get elected. let's talk about something that made news today. twof these candidates came out of iowa, pete buttigieg, bernie sanders. day they made news by going back to the iowa democratic part lisa: even new hampshire is about to vote and iowa caucuses are still iniste. pete buttigieg and bernie sanders have asked for a recanvass, a look again at 8500 precincts. it's a problem for both candidates. pete buttigieg, as a reminder, has eke out a win in a delegate count. bernie sanders says heca won e he had more of the popular vote in the first round. what are voterseft to think? in the end we have the two candidates neck-and-neck,

fighting t over who ge win in iowa. judy: no question iowa is still subjectf conversation. quickly, joe biden. a lot of looking at joe biden and the fact thateople worry. i talked to a number of voters whoerday and on saturday said they're just not sure this joe biden, wh the loved as vice president, has what it evada.to win in lisa: there are two questions with joe biden. he has alway brought about this ea that he can appeal to middle america. and after impeachment, there's a question of whether he' too damaged. democratic voters don't like he they don't believe he's corrupt but they worry that swing voters in novembe might believe what the president has been attacki joe biden o he also has had missteps on the campaign trail and has not rformed as well in debates a well as he's neededo t regain footing. two fourth place finishes would be a huge blow. however, his big state is sout

rolina, two states ahead. we'll see what happens. judy: quickly, when i ask vote what their concern was about biden, they said it's not age, it's whether hean stand up to president trump in november. so such fascinating race. you're following it so closely. lisa: it's great to be here with you. stephae: we'll return to amna nawaz and judy woodruff after the latest heaines. polls in new hampshire open in a few hours as democrats vie to elcome their party's nominee. president trump a rally in manchester this evening to energize republicans who also vote tomorrow. senate democratic leader chuck schumer called for protecting whistleblowers in the wake of president trump's firing of veral key figures in the impeachment probe last friday.

schumer wrote today to 74 federal government and warned of a dangerous growing pattern of a retaliationinst those who report wrongdoing. federal prosecutors are asking a judgeo t sentence roger stone, one-time aide to president trump, to serve between and nine years in prison. stone was convicted last november of w tampering and obstruction of a houseve igation. in china, a new surge of coronavirus cases showhe outbreak isn't slowing. health officials announced tuesday mfoning thathe first time more than 100 deaths occurred in 24 hours, bringing the dea toll to 1,016. she deaths topped the toll from the s epidemic that began in 2002. there are now more than 42,000 cases. in geneva, the world health organization said today it's watching the spread among people who have not been to china lately. >> the detection of the small

number of cases could be the sparkechates a bigger fire. but for now, it's only a spark. our objective remns containment. stephanie: cnese state tv showed president jinping xi wearing a mask at a medical facility after days out of theye puic he told medical workers, we will most definitely win this people's war. and tonight, word that beijing has fired top health officials in hubei where the outbreak began. the u.s. military says09 troops suffered mild traumatic brain injuries whenni i missiles hit a base in iraq last month, an o increasef 45 from the last accounting. the new report says 76 of thosev affecting since returned to duty. turkish and syria forces have

clashed in northwestern syria for the second time in two weeks. the turks say intense syrian shelling killed five turki t soldieay in idlib province and it00 neutralized syrian troops in retaliation. rkish troops arrived with eqpment and supplies and officials warned the assad regime to pull back. >> after these attacks, the regime elements are considered as enemies. they carried out hostilities twice. turkish armed forces will hatever is doing done to an enemy. the syrians started this. stephanie: syr's campaign to retake idlibro province rebels has sent more than half a million peoplear fleeing t turkey. at least seven were killed say storm with hurricane force battered europe for two days. people in britain began cleanup from sunday's damage. in germany, trains and more1,han

remain at large. still to come on the "newshour," the death toll of the coronavirus surpasses that of the ss epidemic. the president's budget delays eliminating the deficit 75 years after the liberation of auschwitz, anti-semitism is on the eise inope and much more. announcer: this ispb the newshour". with a surge in coronavirusling outbreak, one that's spread in small numbers to at least 25 other territories or countries. an update nowhe on things stand today. >> the official death toll from this coronavirus has more than doubled in the week. the official number of confirmed cases has also more tn

doubled. chinese officials have said for several days that they believe that the number of new cases may be slowing but how accurate are without knowing that, we can't really know how bad the outbreak is or how bad it might get. joining me now is a professor of global health law. he directslt the world h organization's collaborating center at georgetown university. welcome. >> thanks for having me. help us understand. we know there's a surging number of cases. where do you see t going? >> i think we have to be prepared for the reasonable possibility or likelihood that we won't contain this in the foreseeable future. you've got more than a billion people in china with a readily transmissible infection. if it spreads in that congested population and eventually travel bans are lifted, one could foresee ite. escal

>> escalate meaning this could turn into a true global pandemic? >> it could. the touchstone two-fold. one, can we slow it on mainland but two are there going to be mini epidemics in other parts of the world. that's what happened with sars and so far we have human-to-human community transmission in places like fr.kce, the and hong kong. so we need to watch that carefully. if it ballos into an epidemic in those places, we could have pandemic easily. >> what is it that most concerns you, when you look at this and look at what's being done in china and elsewhere? what's most tro?ling to y >> first of all, looking back, it's very, very clear thatre t was a lot of transmission going on in chinae bef they actually reported it. and some fileon people left wuhan, which is the hot

zone of contagion, in the country. so that was the first thing. but the other problem is, is that they haven't accepted cooperation and help in a fulsome way, from the.h.o., the u.s. c.d.c. and others who are really experienced in terms of fighting an epidemic and that's a problem m ity weeks into the epidemic now and if you look at when it really started, more than a month, and only today an exploratory team from w.h.o. landed in beijing. it's not going to wuhan or hubei province where it's happening. so we don't know their rules of engagement. are they going to be able to have independent verification of the data? ll they have access to patients? will they have genomic sequences data from various parts of china? or will china be inscrutable?

they prize themselves on sovereignty, being in control and it doesn't want independente pe there saying, no, that's not what's happening, something else is happening. >> we also don't really know the true mortality rate of this rus, right? we know the official number of deaths and official number ofs. ca but without those being truly acrate we can't really know -- >> my feeling is, in my gut, is that the case numbers are way under estimated, that there are many more cases. but the death rate is probably about right because there are so many people that we don't know that have the virus a wre not seeing a whole lot of deaths. but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take it really seriously. flu has approximately the same death rate as the coronavirus. butmagine if wead the same number of ces in the world every year with the coronavirus.

we'd see a huge death toll and we don't want circulating novel viluses in addition to the we need to try to get this under control. >> for aiericanrs who might be watching this news and being nervous, potentially terrified, what would you say to them? >> i would say take it seriously but remain calm. the risto the american public is very, very low. the u.s. c.d.c. is beyond doubt the best in the world if it were to happen here, in any number of -- if you had escalating cases, i have very high confidence that c.d.c. would be able to isolate cases, quarantine those who are actuallyxposed and bring it rapidly.ntainment very, very >> lawrence goston of georgetown, thank you very much.

amna: we turn now to theca f year 2021 budget. president trump unveiled his $4.8 trillion wish list today which includes cuts to medicaid and other social safety net programs. yamiche alcindor joins me to break it down. this is the president's proposed budget, right. congress haso approve it. walk me through some of the highlights and where you see potential areas of contention with democrats? yamiche: the white house budget is really a way for the president to set forth h ideas. this is a wish list saying that if the president could wave a wand, this is what he would want to d but presidential budgets do not get psed as is by congress, with president trump or president obama or any president.

there are $4.8rillion in this budget and the president wants to make $2 trillion in cuts to eliminate entitlements and social safety network programs including foodmps and medicare. it doesn't eliminate the deficit in the next 10 years. the president said w when elected that he would balance the budt in eight years. thisotudget does do that but does it in 15 years. also, the congressional budget office said if nothing changes, we will be up tori oneion dollars annually in adding to the deficit. there used to be really big fights about the deficit but president trumpas at times added to the deficit including during his big tax cut issues. the other thing to note, the s president hasd over and over again, he doesn't want to cut social safety netgr ps. the white house is saying they're savings but when you look at the numbers, there are cuts to social safety net programs they're saying this is about

get off the cycle of dependency. critics of the president say this is about stereotyping those who are on programs that are needed. but the president and the white house are sticking by the numbers, calling them necessary savings in order to help the government function in a more efficient way. previous clashes between the president and democrats over previous fundis reque he's made specifically around immigration. clashes before.d some of what does this budget have in the way of immigration requestsi yamichigration is the president's signature issue. here we saw a little over a year ago the government shut down for about three weeks over issues withhe president's budget. at that point it wasrg anument over the border wall. t's walkhrough a bit of what's going on with imougration. have $52 billion for the department of homeland securit a increase from 2020 levels, approved by congress. we also have $2 billion asked

for the border wall, toward between the united states and mexico. 4600 new immigration and customs enforcement officers and 60,000 total.e i detention beds, 15,000 more beds than congress approved last year.is s important because i.c.e., specifically, hasad a lot of criticism because a number of people have been detained. they've been hitti record highs with detention beds. the other tng to note, the president has made this a critical part of his 2020 campaignno e if this isn't to be enacted, a white hse is saying we're continuing with hard-line immigration policies and the president will say we need more law enforcement in order top s undocumented immigrants from coming into the country and also deporting as many undocumented immigrants as the trump administration can. the presint will continu to double down on those issues.

amna: and you will continue to cover it all. that is our twice this correspondent, yamiche alcindo amna: stay with us. coming up on the "newshour,"rn e retu to new hampshire ahead of tomorrow's crucial primary vote. and "parasite" becomes the first foreign language film to win the oscar for besticre. judy: the clock continues to tick down here to the start of first-in-the-nation primary. over the weekend i caught up with several candidates during their final sweeps across the state. minnesotaat s, amy klobuchar, entrepreneur andrew yang, and former massachusetts governor deval patrick were among them. first, former vice president joe biden, here he is taking questions from reporters about south bend, indiana's,me f

mayor, pete buttigieg. >> guess what, he was a mayor. he's a good guy. but the idea of passing a budget as mayor of the town the size of manchester or managing $1 billion with less fraud and abuse, is ridiculous. let's get straight. what's the? probl judy: isn't his point that that now int moment and we're a different moment and this moment requires different leadership? >> that'sot what he'saying. he's saying that the problems we have now are because of the past that's whae's saying. let's get that the straight, period. number two,he problems we have today are weeed not different leadership. we have to continue the leadership and move it on. i never said there would be a third term of barack obama. >> for me, the lastayew before the primary vote is all about getting out the vote, building that excitement and

metting the people to new hampshire behin and i cannot believe what i'm hearing up on that stage. there are a bunch ofts independ moderate republicans registered independents that have decided to votey because t can't stand trump. there are a bunch of people who tes who,h other candi after the debate, changed over to me. that's what we're seeing in the polls. then we have undecideds up the wazoo and i tell them to look at fme as ash face and tha in this race between the vice president and mayor pete, i say that 59 is the new 38 and that it is gooded to have someone net but also have someone with experience. >> how do you get people to turn out for you? i talked to one gentleman who said i really h like but i worry he doesn't have a chance. >> well, the great thing about new hampshire is they determine who has a chance and who doesn't. they're very independent minded they're going to do what they think is best for the country and i certainly trust them. we're feeling great about the

campaign here. judy: you agree that pete buttigieg doesn't have the experience of some of the other candidates >> he certainly doesn't have the experience of some of the other candidates. the question many voters are asking ishat is the experience they're looking for, the judgment, the vision? >> i have bee in new hampshired is true, i have not spent my timeg mak myself famous but i've spent the last 40 years king a difference and i think the kind of primary that's run here in new hampshire, the expectatns of new hampshire voters, that you are intimate, thatou spend time with them, that you talk and listen to them, is a great opportunity to make that case and as we make that case here, if we get the vote we want here, that gives us momentum moving forward.ha judy: ands where we will begin this special new hampshire

edition oit ps monday. with me here in manchester, in the studios of wgbh, our partner station, are james pindell of the "boston globe" and lauren chooljian, the host of the stranglehold podcast, focused on let me start with a basic question, lauren, how clear are the cdidates' messages coming across in this state? laurenfor reporters who have been covering them, it feels it sounds t same. clear because but when you talk to voters, they really get excited and thet fese messages are resonating. i cover pete buttigieg the most for us. and a lot of people say they like his, energy that he's and that's where he's done a.

couple of pokes at bernie sanders, who h is neck-and-neck with in the polls. there are i moments whe he criticizes the call for a revolution andd says we no focus on uniting, not dividing. in a big arena for a state democratic party fundraiser, that didn't go over well with bernie sanders supporters and shows the divide in the party over a feistier leader that may crowds, they like what he'sis saying. judy: james, what are you hearing in messaging from the candidates? james: these two weeks, every sur years in the presidential race aree of the most exciting and some of the most dramatic as raw politics, yet on top of all of it, these last two weeks, it's been very hard in the news environment to get their message o. the first week in iowa,t impeachm was throughout the entire week. there we four senators running for president also trying to compete.

we had the super bowl happening. and this week began with a lot of confusionbout process. what exactly did happen in iowa? en there was the state-of-the-union address the first day of the new hampshire primary. wednesday, the president's acquitted. now it starts to feel like the new hampshire primary and you are getting some momentu for candidates -- pete buttigieg and latelymy klobuchar after that debate. it's starting to feel like tune in and make some decisions. but you'reht rthe news environment has been difficult for many candidates to break through. judy: maybe that condensed time period where people have had to focus on the candidate maybe that explains some of the hard time voters seem to be having making a decision. lauren: i think new hampshire voters, they have a hard time making up their mind and i think the large field hasn't helped wi that. i talked to a lot of voters who continue to be undecided. en in the polls, there's

always a percentage of people who say i could change my mindbe re election day, which seems crazy. they wantme people, to keep seeing candidates. there are also people who don't sve time to candidates. we get a lot of attention for an gaged population but a lot of people can't make the events and they're just now turning on the tv. but i think that is a really unknown ftor in this election. amy klobuchar is a great example of someone trying to capitalize on that. utjudy: we hear so much a how this year especially democrats want someone to beat dona trump. i guess my question, james, is, is that theid oveg concern? set aside the left wheg of democratic party, the moderate wing -- what is it that voters e looking for? james: poll after poll says you hear it every single time i talk to a voter or i go door to door, th idea that paratcularly demo primaries are a battle between the head and the

heart, the one candidate on one side and the cdidate that's most electable, that is not a debate. it's allbout the head, who can win. is and i think people are person waiting for a moment, some clarity, maybe on the debate stage, or some comment, where it's cryst clear who that person is and they have yet to see that.i judy hear, for example, you hear bernie sanders saying this is the most important election in oure. modern t this morning i heard him say may be the most important election er in america. maybe a slight hyperbole. on the other hand, joe biden, lauren, saying, i could take a hit here, lowering expectations. lauren: that was a stunning moment on the debate stage. some ofis supporters were struck by that and also people on the fence trying to seeow he does were struck by that. newampshire people wanto be taken seriously and for someone to throw it outarly and say

i'm probably going to take a hit here, that maden impression. james: judy, you've been covering so many new hampshire primaries, the voters here love the story of the comeback. behind.nt someone they can get if they're humble, and joe bid comes out here and says i want to come come back, i deserve a comeback butt's probably not going to happen versus amy klobuchar wh is hitting every diner in her running shoes and talking to people. the story ofom theack is there if a candidate tries to do it.an judy: me, lauren, you're heading from this interview across the street to none other than a rally for president trumc who'se right into the belly of the beast on the eve of the primary. how is that playing as voters think about this? lauren: of course he's here. he wants to have a big party to

distract attention ay from the democratic party. he's als very popular among% republicans here. he bringsf in a lot o surrogates because i think he wants to send a message that he really wants to do well in new hampshire in 2020. this was one of his tightest margins in 2016 and he's had his eye on it ever since so new hampshire is extremely important to him andre are a lot of people fired up to support him. last couplf events i have been to there is o a bus something happening from trump supportersutside. james: technically donald trump is in the new hampshire pmary tomorrow. does have that. when he tried thisn des moines the week before the iowa caucuses, the impact was pretty the "des moines register" the next day had a story about trump, had a story abo mike pence at the drake diner and ag stories and not aingle story

on the front page about a democratic presidential candidate. judy: we wouldn't miss it.l yes on the granite state. james pindell, anuren choolji thank you very much. troops liberated the auschwitz concentration camp, anti-semitism is on the rise across the world. over the last decade, hate speech, harassment and violent attacks targeting jews increased significantly throughout europe. even denmark, a country that historically resisted anti-semitism sentiment, has seen a resurgence of neo nazi movements. as par of our coverage of this 75th anniversary, our special correspondent went to denmaet to a jewish survivo of

auschwitz. thisept includes disturbing images. reporter: at hen copenhagen, her sharp mindelie her 98 years. she was a member of the resistance in what w czechoslovakia. they were deportedch to atz in 1944 after being betrayed in hungary where they were hiding from the nazis. >> i survived thanks to luck and intuition. there was something telling me when to steporward and when to you hado do whatever it took to survive. reporter: the surviva instinct kicked in when she entered auschwitz beneath its slogan of false hope, "work sets you free." among the welcoming party was as the jews dismound from

cattle wagons, the s.s. told them they could walk from the t rail head to camp or go on trucks. sheo chose t walk. those who didn't went straight to the gas chambers. >> i thought enormous chimneys pumping smoke into the sky, i akeries.they were but then one of the old prisons said to us, do you know what that smoke is? it's all those who gothe up on trucks and were driven into the ca. they're now all gone. something happened with me when i was told the truth. it was as if i had -- it was as if my body -- i'm sorry. suddenly i can't.

reporter: she is on the left next to her sister. both survived auschwitz perhaps because they can withstand the nazi slave labor. as t soviet army liberated auschwllz, they were sti in peril. they and thousands of other as the nazis tried to coverthp crimes against humanity. the sisters survived the death march and eventually escaped. she attributes their deliver to boots she exchanged with a guard for a ring she found while digging up cabbage >> had typhoid just before the march started but because i had those boots that warmed my feet, i could walk and walk and walk. but those of us who could not walk were shot. the corpses wereined up along the roads, yes, everywhere. some of them wereli still.

vandalized on the anniversary of the night in 1938 where nazis ashed over 250 synagogues, ruined businesses and jewish men were transported to concentration camps. this couple had a star of david attached to their postage box. >> we saw the nazi groups of denmark acting. until that, we didn't really think about it. it was something new. reporter: henry goldstein admits the jewish community that he leads was caughty surprise because it regarded radical islamists as theain threat. >> alarming that a newront t coming fro right which we didn't expect to bely living real reporter: a member of the neo nazi nordicesistance movement is charged in connection with the vandalism. sides being anti-semitism, the movement agitates against mass

immigration. its increasing support across scandinavia disturbs thisho historian pauses to honor the jewish man who was murderedi ng the holocaust. there is a growing belief that amid rising hatred, the atmosphere in europe is reminiscent of the 1930's whenam hitler to power. >> i don't think we're close to the situation in the 1930's. hitler cam toower and made anti-semitism government politics ione of the most importanttates in the world and that is not going to happen anywhere so far as i can s. reporter: but the threat of anti-jewish terrorism is ever present.e, henche military guard outside copenhagen's main synagogue. such measures have been essential since 2015n when a islamist gunman shot and killed a guard protecting guests at a bat mitzvah for a girl called

the young people of today,wo i d wish a better world for them. reporter: th last witnesses to the worst depravity of the 20th century are leang us, bequeathing their memories in the hope that no future generations see what they have seen. for the "pbs newshour," in copenhagen. amna: on a night when a lot went as expected at the oscars, questions of diversity andio incl lingered but the academy'she choice for t best picture winner was a big d significance of that pick, part of our con going -- ongoing arts and culture series. >> andsc the goes to --

"parasite."na am: as the south korean thriller "parasite" became the first nonenglish language film to win best picture.th film won four oscars in and best international feature film. >> the category has a new name w from best foreign language to best international feature film. i'm so happy to be its first recipient. amna: bong joon-ho too home best director. >> that quote is from our great martin scorsese. amna: part satire, par drama, the story centers on a poor family that wons its into a wealthy household.ss when c warfare threatens the bonds between the two, violence ensues. the korean president tweeted

gratitude to the filmmakers. "parasite's" success comes at a pivotal moment for the oscars. five years after the oscars so-white protests with the academy still strugglingo recognize diverse talent. i'm joined by justin chang, film critic for the "los angeles times." welcome backo the "newshour." i read your column this morning. you clearly think the academy got this one right. tell me why. what is it about this movie that makes it deserve this award? justin: "parasite" was my favorite movie of last year, the most thrilling film. its victory has shattered one of e last remaining glass ceilings. in its 92-year, histo the academy has never given best picture to a non-english

language film. i believe "parasite" is the 12th one to be nominated for best picture and win international feature film in the same night,d director screenplay, is remarkable. this is a movie that collapsess divisiot just in terms of aass but in terms of being an art film as wel a genre film. it's a popular entertament. th onlyhing holding back this movie from what we thought would be the academy's embrace was the fact that it has subtitles and it's a huge critical success, commerci success. it was really the language, the only thing that stood in the way for it anded many to think they won't give it to "parasite." amna: we should say ihis works not representative of all korean film, not of all asian film, as well. but something noted last night was for all the many awards "parasite" got as a movie, there

wereor none individual acts and --in a and many noted that this is aattern with asian majority cast films. why do you think that happens? this in "the times" on this matter and extolling the greatness of the actors ine, "paras individually and collectively. i think it's the best and enseme of theear in the best movie of the year and i think it says something about the way the american film industry regards there's something dehumanizing i think sometimes about the way they see asian actors. i say this as an asian-american, technicians but as far as being able to -- it's sad to say -- but tell asian aors apart let

alone know their names, let alone recognize the greatness of theirha performances, maybes the next step. understandably, these actors are working at a disadvantage. most are notell known in the states.so kang-ho is a major movie star in southorea but has a relatively limited following in the united states. the academys a heterogenous institution and is often at cross-purposes with itself and there's something both disappointingbouthat and also moving and exciting about that because they're trying to be many different things and that's not easy. amna: i have to ask you, whats the impact of a win like this? does this mean more films with minority casts get made? does this mean people are moreha aware there are foreign films they should check out? how do you thinkrs this mat justin: i certainly hope it accomplishes some of those things. i think it will ateast

encourage audiences to watch "parasite" and watch more movies that are not in english. i don't expect this will open floodgates and we'll see movies from china and germany and senegal winni best picture right and left but i think it's at least eliminated the idea this cannot happen. at's a good thing. amna: thanks so much for being with us. justin: and that's the "newshour" for now. i'm judy woodruff in new hampshire. join us tomorrow evening for special live coverage of the first-in-the-nation primary. amna: and i'm amna nawaz in washington. thank you. we'll see you soon. announcer: major funding for the by --newshour"as been provided
