and barack 0bama putting you on his list of recommended reads. that.ore the end of the year from people and late the day before the end of the yearfrom people and i late the day before the end of the year from people and i was like, why are people sending me texts when i am in bed? it said i was one of his top books of 2019 so i was so shocked. it was almost as good as winning the new car because i have so much respect for barack 0bama sort of him in bed reading my novel was too much. it was incredible. world book day, the focus, i associated with costumes, children going to school in their costumes, and we want children to learn from a very early age to have that love of reading. does it matter whether they are reading physical books or on a tablet? it is good they are reading at all. i have a preference for a physical book. i do not really read electronic books although i know they are popular although audiobooks are incredibly popular these days but it is important for children to hold a book in their hands and turn the pages because so much of what

he was vice president to barack 0bama, he brings a lot from people alienated by hillary clinton.lar workers because of his time in the senate. i think joe biden could bring over a lot of republicans as well. he republicans then that we can't bear the thought of donald trump for the next four years because it basically show that america had voted in child twice and given him backing up twice instead ofjust dangling given him backing up twice instead of just dangling the given him backing up twice instead ofjust dangling the first time. the question for either side, is will the packers of bernie sanders go with biden if biden wins and versa. clearly if i side decides to stay at home because there upset with the democratic decision that is good news for donald trump. yes it would bei news for donald trump. yes it would be i think that is a big risk. it is a bit of bisquick sanders supporters, a lot of sanders supporters, a lot of sanders supporters hasn't really voted for anyone else. i think that sanders should went bad a lot of people who usually vote democrat but also the people

on this part of the campaign, here is gary in washington. similar debate on the time barack 0bama was lot of people come out and say well, there is no electability question for a woman running against donald trump and elizabeth warren took that on the debates and said there are five men on the stage and all of them of lost ten elections between them and there's two women here we've never lost. so she hit this pretty head on. there is a difficulty sometimes the people who imagine a woman being commander—in—chief. that is a reality that political pundits, political operatives think about here. i do think things have changed. there was a lot of discussion around the tenth hillary clinton possible his candidacy were a lot of young women were supporting bernie sanders are you asked them why aren't you supporting hillary, they said we will think there will bea they said we will think there will be a woman president one day, we just do not want that one. the aviation industry is seeing the cost of the coronavirus outbreak spiral. the industry's trade body iata says the virus could cost carri

there was a similar debate around the time when barack 0bama was running to be the first african—americannt, first, raising certain questions and a lot of people came out he said well there's an electability question for a woman running against donald trump. elizabeth warren took that on in the debate and said there is five men on the stage and all of them have lost ten elections between them, and there's two women and we have never lost an election. so she did hit this stuff pretty head on. i think there is also a difficulty sometimes in america with people imagining a woman being commander—in—chief. a lot of young women were supporting bernie sanders and when you ask them why aren't you supporting the female candidate, they would say we think they will be a woman president one day, but we just don't want that one. also making news today.... the us secretary of state has criticised the international criminal court's decision to authorise an investigation into alleged war crimes in afghanistan by us military personnel and others. mike pompeo called it "a truly breathtaking and reckless mo

having served as barack 0bama's vice president for eight years, there is a huge amount of goodwill for—american community. bernie sanders doesn't have that. he has made inroads with latino voters, but if you look at the contest ahead, they favour the kind of electorate thatjoe biden does well with. this includes more state with a disproportionate number of african—american voters. tuesday is michigan, which has 125 delegates up for grabs, bernie sanders won michigan in 2016 running against hillary clinton. butjoe biden has an enormous amount of goodwill there for having pulled off the saviour of the auto industry. it is a rust belt state. he does do well. it will be interesting to see how he does they are. it is still a two—man race at this point, but i think joe biden has the edge. i think it will be hard for bernie sanders to catch up, and the real question is how does bernie sanders handle that? does he go on and complain about this being a rigged primary and the corporate democratic party being against him, or does he really rallied behind who isjoe biden, who looks like he has thi

joe biden is seen as more middle ground, of course linked to barack 0bama, he was his vice president. support there. when it comes to bernie sanders' supporters, they are fiercely supportive, aren't they? they are so pro bono sounders. when it came to the election last time there was a real problem for hillary clinton? yes, and that will be the key question. let's assume joe biden continues to be successful and manages to rack up successful and manages to rack up the most delegates. it will be bernie sanders' supporters who have to do a lot of soul—searching, maybe bernie sanders himself, in terms of how he directs his supporters, whether they get behind joe biden to try to ensure a win for the democrats, or whether they are in some way maintained through to their beliefs. what we saw in michigan four years ago was in fact some bonus under supporters actually choosing to vote for donald trump, which was quite an unusual move, supporting the right—wing candidate as opposed to the one on the far left. politics is difficult to predict here in the united states, because these are quite tu

example, but he does have strong support amongst the older generation, especially as the man that barack 0bamaks that angle, and in the end he did get that kind of support from black voters that he all along said he would. he all along said he would. he all along said he would. he all along said don't look at how i am doing in the primary race now, wait until i get to south carolina. that's when my campaign will really launch, and by all accounts, it looks as though that has been the case. and it looks as though he is about to take the podium. what do you expect his message to be when he gets there? well, i think he will say we're going to win. i think he is going to say we are going to win nomination, that they will beat the other contestants, and that ultimately he is going to say he is the best man to beat donald trump. but frankly, this is just donald trump. but frankly, this isjust a moment donald trump. but frankly, this is just a moment for him to savour personally. it is the first presidential primary vote that he has one in decades of political career. so it is really something that h

barack 0bama then added "you're likeable enough, hillary', which wasn't his finest moment.atic nomination, and lost to donald trump in 2016. her ‘likeability‘ featured many times. here's one example from the hill. the guardian calls it a ‘likeability test‘, and argues it only applies to women. politico picked up this point when elizabeth warren announced she was running. tweet @politico "how does elizabeth warren avoid a clinton redux — written off as too unlikable before her campaign gets off the ground?" the senator responded to that with this video. smiling and waving. in her post she says ‘i hear women candidates are most likable in the quiet car!‘ but here we are. elizabeth warren's disastrous super tuesday is symbolised by her failure to win her home state massacheussets. in this report, the new york times argues she could not overcome the extra hurdles for women running for president. let's be clear though, it's not saying those extra hurdles are the only reasons for her difficulties. here's barbara plett usher's analysis. perhaps one of her bigger problems was that

she also worked for barack 0bama. welcome to both of you, good to have you with us. of all? it's a fascinating result. it bringsjoe biden back into position of being the frontrunner, which he had been for over a year until people actually voted in iowa and then we had a few weeks of confusion and it looks like bernie signed as —— bernie sanders might become the presumptive frontrunner but now we are back at the beginning and biden might be stronger because there is no one else in the race apart from bernie sanders, who is a credible threat. pete buttigieg has left the race, amy klobuchar has left the race and so has mike bloomberg. a close competition between two people from different wings of the party. having a conversation about going forward. you mentioned the leading two but elizabeth warren is still there. what is she going to do? i'm a huge support of her, i think she's absolutely phenomenal. it's hard to see that she has a path to winning the nomination unless something dramatically changes, although that sometimes happens. i think she... she is famously the

usually happens is you are the frontrunner, then the party nominee, however, in cases such as barack 0bama sure the two democratic candidates are protected. to answer your question, christian, i think it would be very interesting. we saw christian, i think it would be very interesting. we sanoe biden do very, very well in states with high african—american and let you know populations was looking at illinois, new york state and other states to the north and in the uppermid other states to the north and in the upper mid west. states the democrats have to win, wisconsin, 0hio, the democrats have to win, wisconsin, ohio, pennsylvania. so it will be interesting to see, moving away from super tuesday where you have 40% of the delegates, what will these big states in the weeks and months to go shake out in this race? in the mid terms what we saw that made the difference in the democrats was the turnout of women. looking at some of the results tonight, it isn't an overwhelming majority for joe biden, but he certainly is on top in massachusetts and across those states as a whole. and i will continu
