a climb to the mountains what gets you there right so the teleprompter guy doesn't change donald trump and by the way we have an actual. right i don't. oh i dunno but there is none of this on top ok i don't have no by the way you know your mission to get my point bloomberg is all the swamp trumpets right now so it's only i was so you might be well no no yes i have a ball she's going to get laid out our projections are that our magic 8 ball field present truck is about to walk in let's take this live feed he's walking. ok we're going to continue because obviously it's going to take a while and i love everybody oh yes tomorrow is going to place only looking harder on this one. i'm already going to be interesting it is a problem the pool is not and will not be in the house chamber this evening it's not actually in the chamber therefore it's going to be interesting that they're keeping the reporters on the outside there's no one inside and you know we still

a partial results are now in from the democratic caucus and u.s. state of iowa after a lengthy delay and pete but a judge has taken a surprise lead ahead of bernie sanders with 62 percent of precincts now counted out his column up and has more. we still do not have complete results of the iowa caucuses the 1st vote or caucus i guess in the presidential primary of the united states now in terms of candidates and the results we have 62 percent of the precincts reporting and at this point in terms of state delegates in terms of delegates representing candidates pete british has 27 percent of the vote with bernie sanders with 25 percent behind him is elizabeth warren with 18 percent and joe biden in 4th place with a 16 percent now bernie sanders is ahead in the popular vote however in terms of the the delegates representing the state at the party convention is in the lead

despite the lack of results we had both bernie sanders and people to declare victory so we don't hear results. by all indications we are going on to new hampshire victorious. due to the failure of the iowa democratic party to release results tonight and in the interest of full transparency bernie sanders a senior advisor jeff weaver is releasing results from nearly 40 percent of precincts in the i want now it took quite a while for us to get these results the results did not come on the night that the iowa caucuses took place and they say this is because of a technical glitch they are saying there was no election interference it was simply a technical glitch on the part of the technical apparatus used by the democratic party to determine who would get what delegates take a listen with inconsistences in dubois in a free says the results in addition to that that system has been used to tabulate

results where oh susan foote do suffer results and debate but try out the volley dates that results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report at this point many are pointing to. this is a huge embarrassment for the democratic party because this new system was put in place for the purpose of protecting the integrity of the elections this whole new system was put in this new apple computer program was put in in order to make sure that there was no interference and it seems to have had the opposite effect it seems that now this technical glitch has delayed the for final results of the iowa caucus vote almost indefinitely we have 62 percent reporting we don't know when the rest of the vote will come in we don't even have 2 thirds at this point of the vote now what is quite interesting it seems is that this is the beginning of the primary in which it will be determined what candidate will run against donald trump in the

2020 election donald trump is the presumptive nominee of the republican party he'll be running for reelection democrats are now determining who will represent them in the final vote in november and already with this 1st vote in iowa with technical glitches with incomplete results at this point it's already off to a rather bad start now we'll be hearing from u.s. president donald trump later this evening you'll be giving a state of the union address but at this point the democratic party seems to be in a situation where their primary race is looking to be full of surprises investigative journalist to dave lindorff believes the iowa caucus is not a reliable indicator of who will become the democratic nominee i think what's happened is that the iowa caucus which only represents something like 15 percent of the voters in iowa so very low turnout in their caucus in a state that's 90 percent white reflective of the united states as

a whole which is 60 percent white. and i don't think it's going to list is a predictor. i think there's going to be some similar dirt coming out on this i think it's worse than it might look and initially i don't think it'll be much of a boost because cinders is going to really win by a large number in new hampshire i think that sanders people came up with their result after boot it jumped the gun and said based on no reporting that he had won so i think you know basically sanders was responding so that that didn't become the story line that we did chase winning. the leaders of russia and turkey have spoken by phone discussing the fallout from a deadly incident in syria a turkish soldiers were killed by shellfire on monday turkey blamed the syrian military and retaliated with air strikes on government targets also halted joint patrols with russia has more now the russian president has discussed the situation

with this turkish counterpart and. again has shed his concerns and saying that well essentially he believes that this incident somewhat undermines the joint efforts of russia and at bringing peace and stability. but i'm a putin in his turn has shed his concerns about the surge in terrorist activities in this syrian province but both sides have agreed to take steps bringing at moving this peace plan back on track now the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has outlined the key things that he believes have to change in order for that to happen . unfortunately for now turkey was unable to meet a couple of key obligations which were said to solve the core of the problem one of them to mark off the armed opposition that's working with turkey and ready to have a dialogue within the government with an political process from the terrorists a bottle nuestra back on monday turkish troops stationed in in this province they

were shelled and 8 people aid turkish soldiers died in that shelling and now the turkish side blamed the syrian army for this incident and we tally neutralizing from 30 to 35 of syrian soldiers according to the recipe tape again and as he was announcing us as he was talking about this retaliation he kind of sounded fuehrer yes. we said it's no longer possible and we responded appropriately whether by aerial or artillery bombardment we are making them pay the necessary price and will continue to do so. so turkey sees this retaliation as fair game because they are blaming the syrian army for the satanic but we still haven't heard anything from the syrian government they have been naive they have neither confirmed nor denied it was indeed them behind the shelling so but at least we have russia and turkey

seemingly still on the same page and it is it was an extremely important phone call for russia and turkey to regional powerhouses facilitating the peace process in syria. you're watching our international will bring you headlines up there stay with us. through the streets of moscow and blood 100 people i was down he would have the changes of the like that they don't keep because in order for them that's the kimi they need the d.n.a. changes they also need an environment that's receptive and one of the biggest areas of growth medicine the features the target. changes so the cancer doesn't want to.

greetings and salyut patients my friends yes you know the phrase dumpster fire gets thrown around a lot these days but never has there been a more accurate metaphor description for what took place on monday night in the u.s. state of iowa it was supposed to be the starting line of the democratic presidential primary where we would finally see this horse race start to take shape what we've got instead like many of the democratic party's recent adventures was indeed a dumpster fire of chaos mismanagement and accusations of conspiracy and rigging as rolling stone reported in the wee hours of tuesday morning due to a technology snafu party leaders and volunteers found themselves struggling to

report their final caucus tallies the candidates were periods the public went to sleep with no clue about the outcome for the democrats it was nothing short of a nightmare scenario and what was this technology snafu that caused this nightmare scenario you may ask well apparently it was a brand new smartphone app that was produced specifically for this primary season by a company called. wait for it shadow yes shadow was the name of the company it was designed to help calculate and transmit the caucus results more efficiently and quickly except as an p.r. writes the app ended up reporting and reporting out only partial data because of the coding issue within the reporting system a coding issue you say well who coded it shadow will what is shadow well according to their website.
