bernie sanders is gaining on hillary clinton. she went after him hard in the

us how the candidates scored. there were points on both sides. she had been focusing her fire on donald trump. we saw a very clear change of strategy in that debate. and she hammered bernie sanders for criticizing the president five years ago in 2011. by the way on that point cohave pointed out her campaign criticized him when she opposed him in 2008 but instead sanders just continued to refute what she was saying and stay on message. he did. and she attacked him for being lax on gun control from her point of view and wanting to move away from the affordable care act to medicare for all. see how he responded. >> there are things that we can do to improve it but to tear it up and start over again pushing our country back into that

wrong direction. >> we're not going to tear it up, i helped write it but we are going to move on top of that to a medicare for all system. >> he voted for what we call the charleston loophole, he voted for immunity from gun makers and sellers. >> secretary clinton knows what she says is disingenuous, i have a d minus from the nra. >> she tried to put him on the offensive and position her as the best choice to continue the obama legacy. >> what do you think we'll see the needle move for them after that debate? >> not because of, i don't think the debate was a game changer but the needle has been moving in favor of bernie sanders. though hillary clinton leads substantially in national polling, it is close in iowa. he has the lead in new hampshire. in the national polling, that

continues to shrink i think and you'll see this but i don't know if it will be enough for bernie sanders unless he win innocence iowa and in new hampshire then and only then do i think he gives -- he wins in iowa and new hampshire then because it will turn. >> hillary clinton embraced the president's legacy. will that help or hurt her? >> it cuts both ways. it will help her with the south where obama's base is strong but hurt her among younger vote ers who want change and by definition, obama represents the status quo. >> thanks as always, we know you will be following it. thank you. how about this the british are debating whether to ban donald trump from the uk over his remarks about banning

signed a petition to bar him from entering the uk. parliament is taking up the debate. the prime minister condemned the remarks but he does not think he should be banned. although a number of lawmaker does want him banned. others warn it could boost his popularity. >> are you talking about a candidate for the presidency of the united states isn't that up to the americans that he is objectionable. >> his words are not comical and funny, his words are poisonous. >> the trump organization released a statement saying that it is absurd that parliamentary time is wasted debating a matter as a part of the american election. the vote is not expected to result in a binding vote. >> it should be outstanding sun set with a lot of high clouds
