the democratic party has revealed early results from its key caucus vote almost 24 hours later expected with 71 percent of results reported. as a slight lead with 27 percent. it's the beginning of the race to see who will run in this year's u.s. presidential election against donald trump but the party has been left reeling from the glitches in its new up which is meant to deliver results. of a nightmare scenario and if so what do you do about it these are probably the most prepared we've ever been as a party for these caucuses and we've run through a few different scenarios but i can tell you were ready was the starting pistol i'd settle for race and at the end the prize is becoming a presidential nominee and that the finish they stand around and wait to find out who won. as precinct caucus results started coming in the iowa democratic party ran
1:04 pm
them through an accuracy and quality check it became clear that they were in consistencies with reports the underlying cause of these in consistencies was not immediately clear and required investigation which took time this is an embarrassment all they had to do was count the votes the polling stations counted the votes all they had to do was add together the tallies what a 10 year old could do in a calculator the democratic party couldn't this mess was caused by a new app designed to speed up votes county made by a secretive company called shadow inc that i suppose was the 1st clue the party is saying on one hand we had inconsistences with the data then they say oh but the data is fine and it wasn't a problem with the app so that won't what was a problem with because we also know this take the app aside and say ok the absa
1:05 pm
failure didn't work you had precinct chairs who were calling back to the democratic headquarters last night some of them on the phone for 2 hours on hold waiting to call in and say one of these guys only had 6 people at his caucus site is not enough to give 6 votes on caucus votes over to the headquarters and he's on hold for 2 hours and can't get anybody who contracts a company called shadow to build an open transparent voting app democrats the people who shouted loudest about russia threatening american elections that breaking news russian hackers tried to hack wisconsin's election system russia's hacked into a lot of things russian hackers the kremlin clan it certainly looks like they're. with an eye towards helping this president to combat strums popularity democrats created 2 organizations acronym and paquin him to flood the internet and t.v. with. anti trump and anti russian propaganda trump spent $10000000.00 on
1:06 pm
a commercial for tonight's super bowl we fixed it for him a new president trying to stealing our veterans setting isis prisoners losing don't they reconstructed ladies and gentlemen the worst is yet. here comes the incompetence part these groups a packed with people who ran and sank hillary clinton's campaign including shadow inc founded by a former clinton campaign manager they've spend fortunes and amateur propaganda and apps that don't work all that. money the effort is just to see trump have the last laugh. when will a democrat stop blaming russia russia russia instead of their own incompetence for the voting disaster that just happened in the great state of iowa it's sad. all the complaining and moaning about how russians were out to ruin american elections most
1:07 pm
of the russians that did it it was the democrats their paranoia and competence they turned liberals and democrats against each other screaming and shouting accusing each other of foul play of russia could never do the democrats did we've heard the people who are responsible for this catastrophe in iowa the democratic establishment claim that it was russia's intention to undermine integrity in our voting systems in our election process the question is who really threatens us elections and now i think a lot of voters within the democratic party finally seeing what the real threat is and it's with it's within the heart of the democratic party establishment the more that we talk about the reality of our election systems the more this russia gate hysteria just begins to fall on deaf ears and voters particularly younger voters
1:08 pm
who are social media savvy reject it angrily. well as we wait for the rest of the results to come in from the iowa caucus and we've been doing that for quite a while double quarter sums up the day the night and then the day again. judging by how the iowa caucus has been held this far it looks like one big mess of the electoral system really it's been over a day since the initial results of the votes were supposed to be made public and only 71 percent of them have even been counted nobody knows when they'll finish this process but so far pete booted judge has a slight lead over bernie sanders who's actually right now in new hampshire preparing for next week's primary there and the polls are already suggesting that he will win by a landslide over there now less than 100 percent of the votes were counted but both candidates seem to have had 100 percent confidence in their electoral victory in iowa by all indications we are going into new hampshire victorious.
1:09 pm
i have a good feeling we're going to be doing very very well here. it seems like they jumped the gun a bit and even more strange is that the 1st election results were actually announced even earlier when only 62 percent of the votes were counted why at that specific moment it's anyone's guess but on social media people found it pretty strange and a lot of people had a field day with these very early declarations just finished 62 percent of titanic and rosen checks future seems to really bright just 62 percent of the $986.00 world series and clearly the red sox won the whole thing that you just finished 62 percent of the drugs back and wow that played to guys spewer so said he. wrist in the. i'm 62 percent of the way through war and peace and man this napoleon
1:10 pm
character was unbeatable after those 62 percent of votes were counted it became quite clear that had won the majority of the electoral votes but on the other hand bernie sanders had actually won more of the popular vote which is a strange aspect of the american electoral system where it's possible where a less popular candidate can actually win the election so as these votes continue to be counted we'll keep our viewers updated of course on the latest developments in the iowa caucus while the democrats were busy wondering where it all went wrong in iowa donald trump was giving his 3rd state of the union speech his own private battle with the democratic speaker it was all going on nancy pelosi 1st broke with tradition by introducing the president without using the words on or on privilege trump turn refused her hunch check pelosi then ripped out the american leader speech right behind him and was shaking her head throughout. the state of our union is stronger then ever before because.
1:11 pm
the world would not now be witnessing this great economic success thank you narrative state has become the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world i. do not believing they are coming back to the usa. i keep my promises as we did our job. the republicans have been reacting to nancy pelosi shredding tactics pointing out that she ripped off a tribute to american heroes including a 100 year old veteran u.s. senator lindsey graham her actions will diminish the work done by the white house. i. appreciate nancy pelosi as speaker of the house now tomorrow what she's
1:12 pm
accomplished but tearing the speech out. is dark going to tear the accomplishments of this president i think is well on its way to being really worked new low for mensa below see the speech was about american heroes and american workers to decide that that was worth truly tearing apart absolutely disgraceful speaker pelosi just ripped up the survival of a child born at 21 weeks the morning families of rocky jones and kayla miller and service members reunion with this family that's her legacy. to another for headline stories a sex abuse scandal and french sport seen parlous prosecutors open up an investigation after a former ice skating champion broke or silence after 30 years in her recently published book sora a baseball accuses her ex coach of rape and claim has triggered an eye pouring of support from the country's top athlete. we feel appalled appalled but then
1:13 pm
fortunately not the surprised ones who though that the truth becomes chilling and isolated keys becomes many the more honest serious omnipresent hominy victims remain locked in a state of shame and fear how many cases could have been avoided we can no longer be silent it is time to act collectively and realize that breaking the silence also means serve in sport. well with the scandal growing in the wake of the claims a reaction just like the sports minister has been handed the resignation of the figure skating federation president who herself previously made controversial statements already issued picking up the story for a charlotte. when a minister makes a public pronouncement you probably would hope that they had checked all of the facts just like when in 2017 france's former sports minister declared that at the height of me too there wasn't a problem in her sphere the form of fencing champion must now be
1:14 pm
considering for laying on her sought after the latest explosive revelations of rape by sports coaches have emerged they've been made by france's 10 times national skating champion sarah a bit both in a new book she accuses her former coach year of regularly raping her in the ninety's when she was aged between 15 and 17. i was sleeping with my teddy bears and he woke me up with his torch it was a nightmare it was horrible and it still horrible today and that's why i'm talking about it as unfortunately i'm still not well i'm taking antidepressants and i'm speaking up for all the other victims who can't speak themselves this exchange 2 year old former coach admits having sex with a skater but his version of their relationship differs though my memories of the exact circumstances differ from hers i am aware that given my duties and her age at
1:15 pm
the time these relations were in any event inappropriate it's not the 1st time questions have been raised about a year sarabeth ball says she previously spoke out against him in the us including to the then minister of sport john points while a more but was shut down while he called me back and he said to me listen to me tangibly. yes we have a file on him but we are going to close our eyes let moore says he doesn't recall that conversation i do not question at all what she say's but i have no memory of this exchange above all if i had known these horrors that i discovered today i would never have advised sarah bit bull to close her eyes according to the sports newspaper the keep 2 investigations were carried out by year in the early 2000 including one white sports ministry now his contract is a technical advisor was terminated following the 2nd one sara
1:16 pm
a bit but although it is not the only person making accusations 3 of the former skaters say they too were raped by that coach's including by ear when they were minors suggesting the problem was much deeper accusations which of either being denied or declined to be commented on questions are now being aust about the leadership in french sports with the current sports minister demanding the resignation of did you get the books of french skating along with other allegations of sex abuse in other sports many are suggesting that these revelations are just the tip of the iceberg and france has done precious little to protect its sporting hopefuls and heroes. ski altie paris. still ahead a global for a music festival in sweden draws anger online as it allows children as young as 3 to create an avatar with
1:17 pm
a muslim headscarf we hear why the job has become so polarized after the break. seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape out just being active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. chose to build their economy in such a way as that spawned the crisis of the problem by iris and for that there is an
1:18 pm
economic i don't think and the us could inherit a benefit of that economic penalty similarly the us build its economy in a way that causes other kind of extra analogies that are highly detrimental to the u.s. economy. the e.u. has sharply condemned washington's decision to ease restrictions on the use of anti-personnel long mines which will allow the u.s. military to deploy their weapon in conflict zones across the world face in the minds the global norm against unsee personal minds are normal to say tens of thousands of people in the past 20 years the use of the weapons anywhere at any
1:19 pm
time and by any actor remains completely unacceptable to the european union. the u.s. state department says the ban which was instituted by the obama administration puts the military of a severe disadvantage in conflict situations thus the spot the fact that over 150 countries are signatories to 1907 bomb and the use of the weapon the explosive devices are buried in the ground and detonate under pressure there are effectively 2 types of person along mines with newer varieties possessing a self-destruct functions those are the sort from but ministration ses will it will allow the military to purchase here's some of the reaction we've been getting to washington's controversial decision. trumpet ministrations decision just adds one more layer of. tea to warfare and encourages that it's very difficult to determine. what where these mines would be laid and and how they could be deactivated even though they
1:20 pm
they claim they're going to be field in a new one new type that can be deactivate on its own but that's not sure i think the landmines are just terrible they they they affect civilians primarily and i don't think there's any foolproof way of developing a what i would call a smart landmine that could deactivate itself we greatly welcome the you stated today in the statements by the number of other states. which would include germany belgium netherlands that have come out and spoken very clearly condemning this decision the international campaign to ban landmines deplores the decision by the u.s. government this decision reverses its lynn my policy the u.s. is effectively stepping backwards from the progress it has made in putting its
1:21 pm
policy in line with mine be entreaty provisions which being the production the use in the transfer of land mines and which commit states to providing assistance to mine survivors. the online debates over the wording of the had been rekindled in sweden that's offer a mobile op link to a song competition allied users including young children to dress her on screen image with the traditional muslim head scarf for women. all to normalise islamization every normal person with or without children should
1:22 pm
be terrified and disgusted. awful in the other public services and politicians not only have neutral permissive attitude towards islam but also actively spreading it . women in muslim countries risk their lives fighting male oppression and the libertarian veil. with taxpayers' money making my children believe that it's normal for little girls to cover up while last month readers all of the swedish edition of elle magazine chose a head job wearing influence or further 2020 look of the year that quickly triggered debate on line among the 1st a fair break world job day saw people across the globe polarized on the issue is because women of all faiths were being urged to cover their heads as a sign of solidarity running parallel on social media was the hostile no had job day with women arguing the traditional head scarf as a symbol of oppression they point to predominantly muslim egypt where the country's
1:23 pm
top court upheld a 2016 on the kneecap for stuff at cairo university ruling that the face veil can impede the communicate of atmosphere on campus we spoke on the issue with former muslim current dr best for your uk men and re severson a woman's rights advocate. that apple developers are merely reflecting the culture that's taking place in their community i think right now what the media what magazines and you know the beauty standards are trying to do is just be more inclusive and say there is a spot for you here i do feel as though only one narrative is shown in the west when we talk about the job it's often a very positive narrative but i think that the other side also has to be addressed many many goals of forced into wearing the job without any full understanding of what it represents and the how difficult that will be to take it off there's definitely a community where this is
1:24 pm
a very real and present apparently you know issue and concern and so we have to just allow the app designers to kind of. basically play to their audience if you will i do find a huge problem in perpetuating this idea that children as young as 3 need to wear the he job in any in any form and i would also like to say that he is not a culture it is very much a religious symbol see when i myself a little brown skinned girl on a t.v. commercial as a little girl i believe i can grow up to be that person so what we don't want to do is not show women and have jobs because we don't want to give little girls who wear jobs to feel as though they can't be a part of this larger story that we all are a part of i think that women should be able to choose what they wear and that is exactly why i am an advocate for no job day because i stand for the choice to take it off which is something that is just not extended to people around the world and
1:25 pm
people within even my own community here and in the u.k. . the united nations top humanitarian official said more foreign troops stationed in mali or in the rest of the region will not save the african nation and its conflict against armed groups but political talks could the north african been witnessing a surge in terrorism over the past decade the u.n. statement comes after front spreads an extra $600.00 soldiers to the struggling region $4500.00 french troops are already there or un a 1st chief in mali told us why the situation in the country is worsening the spike the increased security presence. if you look at the needs that have been identified for 2019 over $3000000.00 people needed support from humanitarian activists and we have planned to use about $324000000.00 however only 51 percent has been received obviously you cannot cover the needs of
1:26 pm
people identified as vulnerable. if you only receive half of the money particularly as the situation is getting was looking at a situation where more people will need all the support and we do have. $1100000.00 people that are in additional. humanitarian assistance let's take a look now at how high the terrorist insurgency has grown in recent years and how spread across north africa since 2016 the number of to harvest attacks has increased 5 fold while thousands of people have been killed or displaced in the latest incident on sunday 20 soldiers were killed by islamist fighters abrams fellow of the quincy institute for responsible stake thinks that any negotiations with terror groups won't be productive. a greater portion of international
1:27 pm
terrorism will move to africa specially so as well as in libya their fighters are going to continue to increase in number particularly because we're dealing with one of the world's poorest areas with weak governance these kinds of field states create a power vacuum ideal for terrorists of all sorts of pariah so it's very hard for me to imagine what the french will simply have $500.00 troops and that is going to resolve things the reality is that sometimes there is no good answer fighting them isn't going to work talking to them probably won't work either islamic state is growing in mali and throughout this a hell and they do not want a peace process is it is alarmist group also very difficult to negotiate with and so even though i'm
1:28 pm
a skeptic that military force you know is not going to work that doesn't mean that i think that negotiations are also necessarily the answer. all right we are crossing to some more great programs here in moments in our 2 international stay close to find out what is showing in your neck of the woods and i'll see some. one else to show seem wrong. why don't we just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days to come out ahead and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so the politicians have basically stuck the american public with the delegate to
1:29 pm
negotiate for drugs and both parties who are financed very heavily by the pharmaceutical industry have done this so when your own people vote they should look at how much does this politician get from the power pharmaceutical industry. in his community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments there's a lot of conflicts within the games and between the teams most of the conflicts i would say throw the ball around money and most of them money is made. close one on each other it's because he knows each other is good because the state of california
1:30 pm
alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complexes to get some 20 alive where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about you so you don't care might anything. it will go to boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss. and i'm christiane in washington coming up the colonial bias continues to have serious effect on the market for u.s. stock markets do is jump on tuesday while take a look it was a very good day for ted but in fact the best since 2013 so what's causing the electric car maker stocks go so high and so much to talk about problems with the iowa caucus and the out.
