>> welcome back. you're watching "france 24." democrats not quite united behind hillary clinton as she claims victory over bernie sanders in the party's primary contest. what president obama has yet to offer his -- while president obama has yet to offer his official endorsement. police he tells thought a serial offender priest was reformed. on asrial disputes rumble

france prepares to welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors. ♪ we begin in the united states. hillary clinton is claiming victory of the democratic party nominee for president. she won primary contests in four out of six primaries last night, including california. her opponent bernie sanders is yet to drop out. he will be meeting with president obama on thursday. the president has congratulated but not yet officially endorsed clinton. >> he will remain on the campaign trail. or is still a remnant of a campaign trail out there because there is still one single

primary to come for the democrats and that will be here in washington, d.c. but, there are those who will be tried to convince bernie sanders now to drop out of this race as quickly as possible, and that will include the highest office in the land, when bernie sanders goes to the oval office, to the white house on thursday he will probably hear from president obama that it would be best for for thecratic party successor for barack obama, for bernie sanders to drop out of the race and stop campaigning. but just after that meeting at the white house, bernie sanders has organized another of his big campaign events that will be here in washington, d.c. no signs that he will stop campaigning at this point. for the democratic party, to look as united as possible. that would be another message from president obama when he meets bernie sanders. the candidate from vermont

should really be dropping out and at some point, democrats and party officials would expect him to even join hillary clinton on stage to endorse her, officially something president obama also could be doing as early as this week. we do know that this is a president who's itching to get act out there on the campaign trail with hillary clinton. that official endorsement still to come. >> senior republicans are becoming more and more excess rated with their candidate, donald trump. >> there has even been one sensor -- senator from illinois who has de-endorsed trump. this is one senior party official who said he was going to vote for donald trump but after past statements over the past two days, yes decided to no longer vote for trump and to take back that endorsement rates there are other party officials who are criticizing donald trump more than ever, including the

speaker of the house of representatives, who says some of what donald trump said over the last few days was, quote, the definition of racism. we're talking about criticism from donald trump about a federal judge of hispanic heritage who is one of the judges in a case against trump university. that is a story that will go on for weeks and months, and donald trump isn't backing down at this point. there is a lack of an door's men here for the presumptive republican candidate, because in a few weeks time you will see the differences between the two campaigns on the campaign trail. hillary clinton will be joined on stage probably by the likes of the current president barack obama, by the past resident bill clinton, and the current vice president, joe biden. donald trump has none of that. bush senior and bush junior, both past presidents for the republican party have said they are not willing to endorse donald trump and of course it

therefore will not be joining him on the campaign trail. a lot of the endorsements he has been getting, very slow to come. as you just heard from the speaker of the house representatives paul ryan, he has endorsed donald trump, says he will vote for him, but is still criticizing him right now. despite there being two candidates left in the democratic race and only one in the republican race, it's the democratic party that is looking more united. >> let's head to some reports coming in to us from israel. aere has reportedly been shooting outside the army headquarters in the city of tel aviv. at least nine people injured heard our correspondent is in israel. do you have any more information at this stage? what is: i am watching happening. it's all being televised, of course. it's in a market just opposite military headquarters. it's crowded with people. assailant, has been
