it's going to get tougher for bernie saunders so it's going to be interesting now going on to- the races- in nevada and south carolina dizzy but used in c. house on his does another thing. is that the party establishment is starting to get very worried because- they tend to see saunders as to fall left and that frightens them they think that if he got the nomination. than trump would have an easy time just painting the socialist label on the democratic polity. and trying to beat them. disk area that well it was a so defeat for front row jeb. who any money fifth place in the form of a president's camp now has look riding on this in the- few primaries. keris ripples. the resusults from new demo primaryy how even in. but some a disa. showing joe biden was already leaving the state for south carolina. his campaign is hoping the southern states more diverse electorate will help fight in stage a comeback. we're going to especially important vase because up till now we haven't heard from the most dominicans stitches you the number credit party the african american. so carolina will be the fourt

head to head clash in sunday night's debate with joe biden on the front foot so after beating bernie saunders in this week's on the primaries.

i wouldn't have thought that bernie saunders would be electable right across america, particularly inp is winning. i think the democrats need to have another look at it. they need to look outside the box and say who could defeat donald trump? there are only two people that might possibly be able to do it at the moment. one would be michelle obama and the other would be oprah winfrey. neither of those have declared candidacy. exactly, that is the direction they need to go in. i do not think there is anybody who can do it. the iowa caucus and the mess they made of it isjust a sideshow. this limps on from state to state all the way to july, unless a clear winner emerges. willa clear winner emerge before then? otherwise, trump is left as the incumbent delivering the narrative. incumbency has tremendous advantages. the party divided is another advantage. it will be bloody and messy. that will be good for donald trump. he has got the russians on his side and the saudis were good enough to hackjeff bezos' phone and there are lots of advantages he will have. however, as we saw in the 2018 ele

concerns of the voters and the 2016 election they tried to stop their most popular candidate who was bernie saunders gaining the democratic party's nomination even though every opinion poll showed that he was the one possible potential democrat who could beat donald trump what they're doing this don is exactly the same thing and they're trying to stir up the unease saunders and they discover there's. mr buttigieg who they think can somehow connect with the voters even though he has no clue what you know i like alex out he connects with the establishment that's not with the voters here glenn that you know when looking at the iowa caucuses here i mean i'll give you my humble opinion this was fast in broad daylight and get used to it ok if the voters were vote the wrong way there's going to be a high tech solution why it went wrong i think this is the beginning of something not a one off go ahead yeah i agree with what he said this obviously. gave me a bit of a deja vu of the consensus exactly the same thing even involving the same people think it's a good respond and i don't think they're really asses

with don't drug so what do you do you try again and you actually expand it and i'm hearing that bernie saunders is doing very well in nevada yeah so it's obvious you know you're ok with that you carry on that's exactly where i want to go i just want it also stressed even to our viewers again based on anonymous sources of course ok but this is all happening for a reason and i'll give you my scenario here you had the conviction and sentencing of roger stone for for the pushers of people that support him back this conspiracy theory this ridiculous hoax they needed that conviction and sentencing to to make to legitimize at least one of their one of them now and then we have the this week coming up we have the extradition trial of julian assange being tied to being tied to russia and now we have this and against bernie sanders and the reason why they're doing against bernie sanders because he's winning he's we need yes you got more than 50 percent in nevada that is in a standing outcome this is all connected together that's why the resurrecting it well. or live long thing that is war destructive dow

head to head clash in sunday night's debate with joe biden on the front so it's off the beaten bernie saunders in this week's well defined. a very warm welcome this is the weekly opening.

let me just remind you see the national press secretary the burnet bernie saunders presidential campaign does you money when it's about that be on the go ahead. ok so certainly most democratic voters believe that the only person who could be donald trump was joe biden and that's why they deliberately biden majority the joe biden supporters didn't even like joe biden they just repeated the media talking point that joe biden was the only person who can beat trump their reality is that joe biden isn't reasonable or moderate when you actually judge what the policy preferences of american voters are majority 88 percent of democrats support medicare for all for instance and 50 percent of republicans approximately do as well overwhelming majorities of americans support marijuana legalization joe biden doesn't a significant percentage of joe biden voters actually misunderstood him but he did support it care all probably because he kept saying things like health care is a human right when he had no intention of providing it so the reality is bernie sanders in contrast had the largest donor base i

if you're in fact righetti gays in the circular firing squad despite an early lead by senator bernie saunders former vice president joe biden has emerged as the front runner in the democratic race off there emerging victorious from super tuesday recent polls indicate he's also favored by a hall of registered democratic voters bawden is certainly riding on the wave of high profile endorsements from former candidates but his campaign hasn't been without a fair share of gaffes like this latest one. was 2 this my dear sister valerie and i knew it was i was shocked i mean i was this my sister they should i was in and it was innocent mistake. but it could still cause trouble if he becomes president. here's a call back number 30. 17 nope that's the word nuclear launch codes this was. one of the 1st rules of politics you never want to confuse your wife or your sister that's it all could mistake and if you are going to talk about your sister wife you should have done it sooner because then you could have won utah. yeah it was always spoke with a former u.s. state senator john william louden for his ta

and also coming out democratic presidential hopeful bernie saunders to assess his campaign after joe biden wins all 3 of choose states primaries. more than 8000 people globally and now confirmed to have died after catching car at the coronavirus number of reported cases has passed 200000 but there's growing concern over testing levels in some countries malaysia is racing to track down potential coronavirus carries after it's confirmed cases jumped to $790.00 nearly 2 thirds of those a link to a religious gathering late last month that spread the virus to at least 6 other countries a european union ban on travel us from outside the block for 30 days has now come into force as desk continues to soar in italy and spain and although many governments and else massive stimulus packages asian european and u.s. markets are fall and again well france is now on the 2nd day of a nationwide lockdown but already a video has. contriver see online it said to show paris police arresting a woman found breaking the law down rules all 67000000 residents are only allowed to leave their homes to buy groc

as war on us democratic presidential candidate bernie saunders it also exposed corruption industry. delusions about nato nations self proclaimed war on drugs joining me now is acclaimed author and journalist country lowenstein whose new book is called pills powder and smoke inside the bloody war on drugs to the well while the drug deaths are at record levels here in the u.k. your book kicks off with hyundai or a switch thanks to the songes wiki leaks explains how the so-called war on drugs is actually sort of nothing to live in to. imperialism like the united free food company where honduras for a book on drugs that is into the i think a lot of people when i think of the drug war don't think of honduras in effect i should because most of the cocaine going into the u.s. goes via honduras from south america it's mostly a transit country rather than a production company country but it is a narco state the violence is some of the worst in the world abortion is illegal there was a coup there in 2009 supported by then president obama and hillary clinton so these problems existed long befo

the the micro demographic if you will at the very top of american politics donald trump is 73 bernie saunders is 78 joe biden is 77 i mean you know run to the party convention time the cumulative ages will come out towards $250.00 he is old where is the 44 year old who is the 37 year old energized female candidate. what it says is this is where we wound up in this cycle but i do think that would erase what has happened that you pointed to earlier that is significant we have had strong women candidates who've come out in the cycle especially in 2018 for congress and then for the presidency so think about harris and where she might be 4 years from now think about elizabeth warren who won't disappear think about any club a char who was in the race until a couple days ago and i think will be a significant force going forward think about it as coming from being a small town mayor to being now a national figure think about cory booker the african-american candidate who did make a mark early on in other words there is that diversity in terms of where we were in the process even if we wound up at an

midwest campaign there because once again as he didn't 2016 when he's in the midwest he sounds like bernie saunders he sounds like a socialist he's talking about outsourcing about workers' rights about the trade deals like nafta the trans-pacific partnership what about protecting social security and medicare and this worked in 2016 because by that point many workers many union workers have come to the conclusion that barack obama had been totally owned by wall street and corporate interests obama has campaigned on renegotiating nafta he didn't he just signed the us up to another trade deal the transpacific partnership which many had concluded would continue the outsourcing the old trouble did renegotiate nafta and you can't underestimate how important achievement is for many because it was warmly welcomed by by trade unions here and in the u.s. so he does that have on that he has not an aside he also has joe biden on his side in the sense that throughout obama's legacy on these sorts of issues biden was by his side biden long been pulled off as a corporate democrat he used to be known as the senato

representative and also also significant because finally the progressives have someone in the cabinet bernie saunders on one side also said i haven't seen one progressive but biden has nominated now here's one she had time to thank you very much that i mean putin says he's happy to take russia's coronavirus vaccine and has dismissed allegations that he ordered the poisoning of opposition leader and explain avani russian president was speaking at his annual news conference which was held at his private residence in moscow because of the pandemic so we're going to go has more. the annual presidential press conference with a marked difference it is always a marathon event last in close to 2 hours with relatively few surprises from his home in the suburbs of moscow president vladimir putin fielded questions from all over the country his thoughts on current issues foremost the pandemic and whether he'd been given the russian vaccine sputnik v. which is yet to meet international approval standards. the vaccine is like going to civilian circulation are currently provided for citizens in a certain age range

own choosing night, suggested that progressive figures like bernie saunders, elizabeth warren probably would have a place in the cabin, but he is open to republicans being in the cabinet. well then again, we'll see enormous anger amongst progressive's because a lot of extreme right wing republicans put their lot in behind all of the behind joe biden against donald trump. like for governor john kasich. apparently, if he suddenly gets a place in the cabinet, there will be revolt there already. progressive already starting to take it to the streets. he's an extreme right winger and he will stare at the end, the women's rights to union. it's a fight and it's seen as being way too nice to the republicans on the right wing, while ignoring the progressives who got the base out to vote. and there's no indication of these republican stream right wing republican figures. did anything for biden's vote tally about extreme right wing republicans? well then we're going to see real real problems. and that is an important point to watch out for. thanks so much. have a tendency that go live to our whit

he basically got all the other candidates to gang up against bernie saunders who was far more popular among some younger voters and indeed some of these perhaps was dealing with some of the issues that disaffected trump voters might care about this time around as well look we're already getting some exit poll data back and we've already seen this 61 percent of voters who have voted today have said that they are voting for a joyride inch and 34 percent say they're voting against donald trump so people are voting because they believe that joe biden has their best interest in mind that he's going to work to strengthen the middle class that he's going to bring back the economic security that we need in this country so yeah listen i don't you know there's a lot you can say about joe biden in the past the people who are voting when joe biden today imports a morrow because the country that we now have under that is so bad people are not time to be a little less for cancer you alluded to the sum of all star it's a very good point that this is amazing coalition against the interim now which in

sanders their speaking live in his home state, vermont. 0ur correspondent jane 0'brien is at bernie saunderss in essex junction vermont. it is very noisy behind you, a lot of excitement. when bernie sanders talks about the road to the white house, there must be a lot of lies on california and texas, a matter great deal to him, any time, but particularly tonight —— a loss relies on. there is no mistaking this or getting around the fact that this has not been a good note for bernie sanders. it really hasn't. the enthusiasm of his supporters and his defiant speech you have just heard is clearly no match for the momentum thatjoe biden has enjoyed tonight. and what a turnaround it has been for him. it is likely sanders camp nou that at some point they would be up against one candidate who would be up against the moderate —— it is like the sanders camp nou. it was probably going to bejoe biden. what they want expecting was that it would happen so quickly and it would happen tonight on super tuesday. this is the new reality facing bernie sanders and his campaign. joe biden is 110w and his campaign.

heard of health think tank says canada reported the largest percentage of patients canada which bernie saunders often trumpets as his model canada reported the largest percentage of patients waiting more than 4 weeks for a specialist appointment and more than full months for elective surgery in canada for example 18 percent of canadians waited 4 months or longer for surgery compared to 3 percent of americans why would americans say you know let's switch to the canadian model why would they say that when they have those numbers i'll just i'll just ask you. are all are all specialists the same so it meant the if you need a cardiologist would you rather be in a system where you're going to move to the front of the line because you need a cardiologist independent of whether or not you're in shirt versus an orthopedic surgeon now don't get me wrong if you have an orthopedic problem you want to see your doctor but in their system they focus on needed care more than elective care ok and i would rather live in a society and i'm i think you would too given your experience in the u.k. let me talk about w

in the united states the new hampshire polls have closed, with presidential candidate bernie saundersg the vote. it was the latest stage in the contest to choose a democratic party candidate who will stand against donald trump in november. our north america correspondent chris buckler reports. cheering. bernie sanders is the political polar opposite of donald trump, but he inspires the same sort of devotion among his voters. new hampshire helped him win in the second stage of the contest to find a challenger to the president. thank you! and let me say tonight that this victory here is the beginning of the end for donald trump! cheering. but this primary turned out to be a 3—way fight, with the former mayor of south bend, indiana, pete buttigieg, cementing his reputation asa buttigieg, cementing his reputation as a front runner. and amy klobuchar soaking up the field to stand out from the pack. amy klobuchar‘s campaign seems to have caught fire. after an impressive performance on the debate stage last week, all of a sudden the minnesota senator looks and sounds like a contender. we are

winner and taking a look at the latest polls bernie sanders shares a surprise lead with former vice president joe biden auntie's caleb maupin reports on why saunders could be washington's black sheep. the iowa caucuses are upon us and monday as the 1st primary contest takes place and jaws are dropping because the front runner isn't one of the sexy centrists favored by the d.n.c. but an elderly socialist from vermont 2 is technically not even a democrat but a registered independent can imagine any woman watching last night and saying i believe bernie i think people believe has been running bernie sanders against trump would be an act of insanity so to have him just flat out say no i think wasn't wasn't nearly enough to address that for the women watching bernie can't win according to the new york times bernie sanders is surging ahead because he has an enthusiastic base of supporters who are attracted to his left of center agenda mr saunders insurance and his apparent roys in the earliest primary and caucus states reflects both the loyalty of his core support says and their conviction that mr saunders would bring the same fighting resilience to the

the front page of the daily telegraph and saunders, sanders, a big win in nevada. he really led the pack. bernie very strange election now because we have got used to, even in this country, used to watching american politics and working out that it is actually about winning delegates to the national convention. that is the sort of slow, painstaking progress. in previous elections, by this stage evenit in previous elections, by this stage even it was more 01’ in previous elections, by this stage even it was more or less decided but there is a long way to go in an election where you have to accumulate delegates and try and get accumulate delegates and try and get a majority at the convention but sanders is out in front. where were his key voters? he did pretty well among latino voters. he got half of latino voters, he got some african—american votes. didn't do as well asjoe biden african—american votes. didn't do as well as joe biden but african—american votes. didn't do as well asjoe biden but did ok. this isa well asjoe biden but did ok. this is a guy that had a hard time on the campaign trail,

democrat party are being urged to unite behind anybody but it's bernie sanders a wealthy donor has made the plea believing that saunders could not beat donald trump in the next presidential election saskia tale of reports. they say money can't buy you friends or happiness but might be true but they could just buy you the white house mega dona bernard schwartz has been digging deep in his pockets to help the democrat course but it's not entirely a no strings attached situation we should know who is the best person to be dull trump and with all due respect bernard sun there's. so which horses shorts betting on well he's not fussy but either of his friends from the billionaires club will do who just like him on shy on splashing the cash and since we're already here together let's look at just how much cash with king take joe biden now he's discovered that he can't just rely on his instagram a bromance with obama to take him all the way so decided instead to drop a 6 figure sum in just one ad for good measure though he did keep in some abominate . this is an extraordinary man with an extraordinary career in public service

one senator bernie sanders is the favorite ahead of tuesday's primary in a state that neighbors his own but it's more been now reports call members within the party a desperate to deny saunders the nomination. the new hampshire primary is approaching and the democratic party establishment is real. after iowa bernie sanders appears to be a pretty big contender however the contempt that the mainstream of the democratic party has for him has not gone away so you think flat out democrats can't defeat trump if they have to defend socialism i think is going to be incredibly more difficult bernie sanders had a pretty good showing in iowa despite the fact that pete buttigieg declared victory before any results had even been tallied so now at this point we can see that the democratic party's favorite centrists are not thrilled new diseases now unleashed a new weapon in his effort to discredit bernie sanders comedy bernie is pretty rich and i would happily accept a contribution from him i respect senator sanders but when i hear this message go out that you're either for a revolution or you've got to be for the status quo that's a vision of the country that doesn't have room for most o
