the convention in cleveland, together, we will win a majority of the delegates. >> reporter: the third man in the gop race? john kasich, trailing behind them. >> we won in wisconsin. >> reporter: democrat bernie sanders also claiming victory. abc news projects he will beat hillary clinton in the badger state. >> we have now won seven out of eight of the lost caucuses and primaries. >> reporter: now all eyes turn to new york. clinton not wasting time. she's already there. appearing on "the view." then heading to brooklyn where she focused much of her attention on donald trump. >> battling prejudice and paranoia is not the new york way. >> the delegate count goes way up for both parties in two weeks. sanders and clinton campaign in pennsylvania. on the gopside it, trump and cruz court voters in new york while kasich kauch

so as far of the cycle. six out of the seven of the last states have gone for bernie sanders despite the overwhelming lead clinton has. hillary clinton remains the strong front-runner but a message being delivered by democratic vote ares they are not happy with the choice they're being offered in hillary clinton. bernie sanders now getting himself some momentum going into a critical two-week stretch. the new york primary, a home game for both donald trump and for hillary clinton coming up in two weeks time. that could determine the course of the rest of the nomination, but for now, at least for last night, to have the two front-runners suffer this kind of defeat this kind of humbling at the hands of their main opponents have quite surprising. reena and kendis. >> new yorkers can get ready for all those commercials over the next couple weeks. >> i like how he put it, a home game. >> will they have home field advantage? >> i like that. >> the democrats had 86 delegates at stake in wisconsin and on the republican side, there were 42 i

grabs. >> so let's take a look at the count so far. on the republican side, donald trump holds the lead but he would need to win 60% of the remaining delegates to clinch the nomination. >> and for the democrats, hillary clinton has a large lead when super delegates are factored in. despite sanders' winning 15 states so far to clinton's 18 states. well, this morning, there already also political fire works in alabama. there are new efforts to remove the governor from office over a sex scandal. a state lawmakers filed articles of impeachment against governor robert bentley. he admits he made suggestive you be comments to a former aide but denies a fair. he vows to defend himself. the prime minister of iceland appears to be the first political victim of the so-called panama papers scandal stepping aside for an unspecified amount of time. that move comes amid protests over his use of an offshore company to shelter large sums of economy while tir

word of that deal was part of a massive document leak from a law firm in panama. >> back in the states, mississippi's latest one to face a backlash due to a new law seen as anti-gay. the state's religious freedom law allows businesses and government workers to deny services based on their religious beliefs. it has the support of most residents but has come under heavy fire from lgbt advocates and major corporations including chevron and nissan. georgia's governor vetoed a similar law under pressure from corporations. and san francisco will become the first city in the nation to offer a full six-week paid parental leave. the board of supervisors unanimously approved the law which goes into effect next year. some of the costs will be picked up by the state. the rest will be paid for by businesses. and an attorney for retired soccer star abby wambach entered a not guilty plea on her half in response to her dui

on twitter she calls her plea standard procedure. she was not required to appear in the oregon court where the plea was entered last night. she participated in a previously scheduled event at the university of kentucky where she told reporters she could not address the case. >> no matter what color you are, no matter what gender you are, no matter what orientation you are, to start a conversation and i think that it's important no matter what the conversation is. sometimes it's going to be a hard one. that's going to be okay. >> woman back also said she's embarrassed for herself along with her family, fans and friends. and a document filed in connection with the case wambach admits trying cocaine and marijuana. she did that about a decade ago. >> some incredible video to show you right now. a raging wildfire in oklahoma nearly claimed the life as a horrified tv crew watched. the road grader become stuck in a burning field. fire moving closer and closer. the operator fled just

drove him to a safer location. wildfire is out of control right now and some residents being ordered to evacuate. it started when the a power line brought down by strong winds began to spark. besides homes, there's also a chemical plant in the path of that blaze. so as we mentioned, at the top, the uconn huskies are once again the queens of women's college basketball into they took on syracuse orange last night. in indianapolis. and they did what they do best. the huckies powered to a 27-point halftime lead and they hardly let up the rest of the way. when it was all done, u con could celebrate an overem whelming 82-51 championship. winning victory. it was their 151st win in the last four seasons. 151. crazy. >> pretty impressive. yeah. exactly. those 151 wins in four years is an ncaa record and this uconn team has plenty of

joined by abc's diane macedo. good morning. >> i generally like to root for the underdog but i could not help but root for the huskies. this win is historic. in so many ways. for starters it marks uconn's fourth ncaa title in a row, something never done before in division 1 women's basketball. it's also the coach's 11th national championship which puts him one title ahead of bruins coach john wooden for the most ever in the history of all college basketball. >>t's one thing to play against a great player. because you can gang up on him. and figure out a way to get the ball out of their hands if you want to, but to try to beat a really good team that's playing well together that's difficult to do. >> reporter: you know, so. >> so difficult in fact, that the seniors on this team have never lost in the ncaa tournament going 24-0 and overall, they've now won

it's the greatest four-season stretch of any team in american sports ever. for syracuse, as a number four seed, they were a very unexpected guest at the final four in indianapolis. so let alone at the championship game. so they were definitely the underdog in this game but you know what, if you're going to lose, it might, as well be to what some are calling the best team in sports history. >> definitely the epitome of a dynasty. >> yeah, very interesting. bianna stewart, she started and four years ago and said she really wanted to win four titles and they made it happen. >> and her accomplishment in all of this is incredible, as well. four-time mvp, first time ever done here in the sport, as well. and there's so much to get to with the team's accomplishments you can't around to giving her proper credit. >> mike tyson was watching it and tweeted out congratulations. the tweet says congrats to the university of cincinnati women's basketball team for a national championship win four years in a

row. >> no, he didn't. >> yeah, he really did tweet that out. he corrected. >> it was well intended. >> thank you so much, diane. coming up "the mix," another dynasty. the touching family wedding tradition. >> absolutely. but first the body image debate and how ads that were meant as a joke aren't getting the laughs the company hoped for. >> plus, honoring a hero. the marine corps canine back from the war zone. how she saves countless lives never letting down her fellow human soldiers. remember, find us on facebook, wnnfans.com and twitter @abcwnn. you're watching "world news now." rise! oh my goodness! happy birthday! oh, you.
