a big chunk of charleston county, early vote here. this is where the city of charleston's., statewide, joe biden gained 97% of the vote, basically all from the county, which i can show you. it's a fifth of the vote in charleston county. -- with what has come in so far. just as a point of reference, this is about 4500 votes that we have counted so far. you can see about 19% in, so at that pace, if that pace were to continue, it would be about 23,500 give or take, would be the turnout in this county. by comparison, in 2020, we talk about turnout. in the 2020 primary, hotly contested, obviously, the turnout in charleston county with 64,000. so, you can see it be about a third. they are on pace at least here with the early voting, they're on pace for about a third of what they got. we got some vote in the state capital as. well this is the biggie, richland county. again, this is as overwhelming and near unanimous as he will see in any primary so far. biden at 98% here. again, this looks like the early tabulated. we'll get more in darlington county. again, this is about half the

her is the first district in charleston. ., .,. ., ., , in charleston.rump - in charleston. your reaction as well. we hear trump doing - in charleston. your reaction as| well. we hear trump doing well tonight with white evangelical voters, not only about trump but why do you think haley is struggling so much and what is her home state in the state where she was governor. this tracks. someone said to me earlier— this tracks. someone said to me earlier today that south carolina likes nikki haley that they— carolina likes nikki haley that they love donald trump. that's 'ust they love donald trump. that's just the — they love donald trump. that's just the reality. they really, really — just the reality. they really, really love him. endorsements of both— really love him. endorsements of both senators which is really _ of both senators which is really helpful for him. and he really— really helpful for him. and he really enjoys campaigning in estate _ really enjoys campaigning in estate. 0ne really enjoys campaigning in estate. one of the things nikki estate.

the, right here, this county, where the city of charleston's, charleston county. mother lode of college educated, higher income suburbanite types. this is one of the only two counties in the state that donald trump did not carry in the 2020 general election. this is the first congressional district of south carolina. look for haley here, she'd need to run up big numbers in charleston county, also a part of that first district right next door, this is before county. we are hilton head is. again, this is a bastion of voters who have college degrees, and also part of this district, the fast growing suburbs of berkeley county, again, this is the terrain haley really needs to look for. where else does she need to do extremely well? well, the state capital, richland county, columbia. again, one of the highest concentrations of college degrees in the state. again, among republicans, in the kind of place she wants to be pulling in a lot of democratic voters. a lot of independent voters. if it's gonna happen for her, it's gonna happen in richland county. what i want to loo

this is the first district here, this is the low country, this is charleston, we talked about charleston voters with college degrees, of any county in the state. it is also an area of the state where you do have a lot of independents and democrats, especially democrats relative to the rest of the state, folks haley is trying to attract over to the republican side. you've got big, fast -- excuse me, fast growing suburb there. this is berkeley county, very fast growing, this is also part of the district. i think it's interesting, take a look right now in berkeley, donald trump's margin over nikki haley is about 7000 votes. what we've got out of charleston right now is haley's margin over donald trump is about 6000 votes. you see, there's a fair amount to come in charleston. what else is in this district? the other biggie is beaufort county, where we have almost no votes. this is where hilton head is. this is an area with a big concentration of college degrees, a lot of wealth. probably more conservative than charleston county's. those are the biggies. there's a piece of carlton county, pie

of charleston. theoretically. that's one that you have, you should be doing quite, quite well these more absolute well off. but is that college education? they have kind of phone memories of her as governor. they like uh, but even though it's like no, we're going to fight for trump because that's who we think can beat by d in november. we're getting these exit polls now and it's interesting else, but it's 45 percent. say that part of a migrant move would make america great. again, move with the trump move look 49 percent. so they want and yes on those issues at the amy was, was, was trying to try to appeal to over the last week. but trump is mentally on fits 60 percent. that's right. 72 percent said trump does have the mental fitness to be president or the 27 percent that he didn't. and it's like 39 percent said hey, he didn't have the mental fitness to be president. and then on issues, it's very interesting. the other thing that peggy was going on about using the death of russian disciplines as on the development

you can definitely see that places a like charleston, charleston county south carolina.an see and next door and buford county as well. those higher income, suburban you know, voters with college degrees within the republican party, those are the ones who tend to be more skeptical of trump, more hostile to trump, more open to haley. so, you've got to look, she needs a big margin down here she. needs to win charleston county. obviously, she needs to win it by a big margin. she also needs before cavity. this is where hilton head is, for instance. another place to look for haley, that would be state capital, richland county. that's where colombia's. again, trump lost this county. he only lost two counties in 2016. charleston and columbia were to. they are pretty big counties, especially richland, and again, demographically, very similar here within the republican primary. so, those are places haley has to brought it up. trump, i look for particular strength in trump in the upstate. a lot of the counties here, this is actually the biggest county, greenville, a lot of counties

quite a lot of talk about trump even in charleston. charleston carried all but two of south carolina's 46 primaries eight years ago, marco rubio carried the other two. there's a lot of trump talk in charleston, really underscores haley's problem. yes it is her home state but it is very much trump's party. she last ran in 2014. trump has won south carolina three times since then, the 2015 primary comedy 2016 general election and the 2020 general election, so there is a load of wind in her state but the wind is in her face. >> thanks so much. on the house representatives in washington, d.c., debates ahead of a major votes. republicans are pushing to impeach the homeland security secretary, alejandro mayorkas. that is expected to happen in the next hour. the case republicans are trying to make, that's next. >> the case for impeachment. they failed to articulate -- so, you've got the power of xfinity at home. now take it outside with xfinity mobile. like speed? it's the fastest mobile service around... and right now, you can get a free lin

we need smart thinking individuals back in charleston, south carolina. we thank you for being here today. national flood insurance program comes into play when we start thinking about how to mitigate the risks that are so impactful and negative to communities across the country. as we consider potential reforms to the nfip, we must keep in mind local perspectives and not just those from washington bureaucrats. we all know that the most effective policymaking typically happens closer to the problem, not further away from the problem. our program should foster local innovative solutions, not regulatory red tape. you have heard me say this before, that is a lifelong charlestonian, as well as an insurance professional for more than 20 years, having flood s, it is really important for us to understand and appreciate the devastation caused by flooding. there is no doubt that if you were around 1989 in charleston, the hurricane devastated our communities in a way that very few natural disasters have before or frankly since. the storm surge was so bad and so hig

see, i mean it's so beautiful what tomorrow and our allies the down there in charleston because, you know, i don't know if they picked that moment, but it was poetic because right, as joe biden was saying, where there is truth, there is light. that's when he got interrupted, i mean, he was spinning so hypocritical on stage with the words that were coming out of his mouth. and the, let's be honest when he has really said what he felt, we have heard him when he said that he didn't believe the numbers coming out. i mean out, on october 25th, he literally said we were lying about diet. i mean, this is what he believes about us. he said that he's angry, that this happened because of the railed his efforts to normalize relationships between saudi arabia and israel. i mean, he, he is fully behind this operation for her. and yes, it is turned out to be a political hot potato for him. and so maybe you might see some of his rhetoric changing. you know, he came out and denounced the jihad article that came out from the wall street journal, but likes upset that's just doing his job. by the way,

she advertising c o 20. charleston, south carolina forensic experts have been investigating fraud as far as the spanish apartment complex in valencia, with 10 people died. they say the fire as rapid spread may have been caused by highly flammable planting that was used in the buildings construction protest. protests of rallied from the philippine capital, manila, accusing president for the non marcos junior trying to extend the limit on his term in office. critics, a he intends to make changes to the constitution that could alter the structure of the government. riley's come on the anniversary of the 1986 revolution to the top of marcus's father. only below reports, not from a distant memory for many of these protesters, but they say the spirit of the people power revolution in 1986 lives in them 38 years on their fighting. an attempt to change the constitution by the son of the president, that earlier generation topple. remember the last ones from history? oh my gosh. because once you start to see that one and another mark on friday, the one off when i fall, where again, by dividing

she had brought tons of reports from charleston in south carolina. it had been widely projected for some time, the former south carolina government nikki haley would lose the republican primary states. but haley is keeping to her pledge to go on until super tuesday on march. the 5th when 15 states and one territory. well thanks. i said earlier this week that no matter what happens in south carolina, i would continue to run for i'm a woman of my worst reason. she can say that is money, even though she has the prospect of winning any of the future races. deep pockets, the donors are still preferred to bank or less either because of their on typically the double trump or to keep the running in case drums, legal troubles means he has to drop out. i'm not giving up despite when a majority of americans disapprove of both donald trump and joe by they have the right to a real choice. not a soviet style election with only one candidate the for the coming the know many remains a long shot and trumps. and they just victory has such a little bit on the nation pr

but she ever time see out is there a charleston? south carolina a donald trump says the victory against europe. ivan and the not in the relation will be a liberation day for the united states. he was speaking on the final die of the conservative political action conference, one of the most influential annual events for the republican policy. official report from the conference in maryland. this was on your performance by donald trump. he started off in for the 1st 40 minutes. essentially, that was the case of why he should become president saying that joe biden was doing a terrible job in the oval office that there were so many issues with border with crime, with the economy. and he said, if he wins the republican nomination, which he expects that november, the 5th would be the letter ration for ordinary americans will deliver a reckoning like they haven't even imagined before. we're going to straighten out our country. we're going to bring our country back for hardworking americans november 5th will be our new liberation day. but w

see, i mean it's so beautiful what tomorrow and our allies the down there in charleston because, you know, i don't know if they picked that moment, but it was poetic because right, as joe biden was saying, where there is truth, there is light. that's when he got interrupted, i mean, he was spinning so hypocritical on stage with the words that were coming out of his mouth. and let's be honest, when he has really said what he felt, we have heard him when he said that he didn't believe the numbers coming out. i mean, not on october 25th. he literally said we were lying about diet. i mean, this is what he believes about us. he said that he's angry, that this happened because of the railed his efforts to normalize relationships between saudi arabia and israel. i mean, he, he is fully behind this operation for her. and yes, it is turned out to be a political hot potato for him. and so maybe you might see some of his rhetoric changing. you know, he came out and denounced the jihad article that came out from the wall street journal. but like somebody said, that's just doing his job. by the w

oleksandr and make are the owners of a ukrainian-georgian cafe in charleston, south carolina.ricans are treated to borscht and khachapul. however, after lunch, their place is closed for guests and turns into the office of the public organization charleston for ukraine. specifically, the spouses move from business affairs to activism and volunteering we helped our ukrainian guys who are on the front lines, they signed us thanks. on the flag and sent. oleksandr and maka are also engaged in advocacy of support for ukraine in their city and state. both when working with local authorities and on a personal level, among regular visitors to their cafe. many americans come and ask how to help, what you do, how to donate, what to bring, what you collect. support for ukraine is an extremely important factor in the presidential elections in the usa this year. previously oleksandra imaka supported the democrats, but now. believe that joe biden's administration has not done enough to help ukraine, so i do not rule out that this time they will vote for the republican candidate or candidate?

so both of charleston, south carolina who expressed the phone, this lady told us they were voting for donald trump, and it was time for her to drop out. i like her, but i don't think she's to compete with donald. i like taking kelly as well. you know, just thinks it's a tough clock. yeah. so i think that donald trump's gonna have a better opportunity to take out the current administration. the trump campaign says from now on it's not even going to mention nicky hayley's name instead that will concentrate fully on the presidential election against joe. but she ever time see al jazeera, charleston, south carolina, a protest as a rallying and the philippine capital. manila accusing president fit in marcos junior, were trying to extend the limit on his to him an office that could excel. he intends to make changes to the constitution that could alter the structure of the government. relatives come ahead of commemorations of the 1986 resolution. the top of michael says file, but for more of this going to be large joins us now from the miller. and it seems like there is uh, quite lots to not

charleston's husband is also a professor, and according to reports her one publication even ripped offhe research that he did back in 2012. wait. a woman bringing up something her husband did years ago? that's not plagiarism. that's marriage. >> a sexist would say -- >> or any married man. >> greg: yes. coming on the heels of harvard president claudine gay being forced to resign over the same thing charleston's scandal is looking like harvard's own academic version of the metoo, media. call it a reckoning and it's wrecking academia. but what did you expect? this is a school that hired such luminaries as bill deblasio, lori lightfoot, and yes, even brian stelter. what could brian be teaching? how to roll naked in a pile of flour to find a lost remote? there is an image. so why is this important? first, take one world class institution, add dei, and you get a sleep-away camp for 7,000 graduates whose only expertise is tearing down statues and replacing them with men's tampon vending machines. you know, they have taken a good name and ruined it, like madonna. [laughter] >> i thought you w

but she ever time c l g 0, charleston, south carolina. the, now it's been 2 years since russian and launched its full scale invasion of ukraine . president preliminary lensky says his nation is determined to win the war alternator was rep, mcbride, or post. nothing's coming towards going to east of ukraine 2 years ago. keep in darkness and done the siege seemed on the verge of collapse. russia had invaded incense by ukrainian attempts to forge close at ties, but the west of this secondary of the 3 european and other worldly does well. welcome to the ukrainian capital by president for a lot of them is a lensky with his country on track towards membership, the both the european union and nato. together, they visited custodial, apple. that was about as close as russian forces came to capturing key 3 and pulled lots of naval of news. the world witness the most important thing here, so that evil can be defeated and russian evil isn't the exception. maybe although your at the in support is showing signs of strain, the e u has committed to a mul

she's at a polling station in charleston. just describe the mood there.e state. we have been speaking to voters throughout the course of the morning just outside of charleston, even those coming out to support nikki haley say it will be an uphill battle. they say they have been voting for herjust to make sure there are more names on the ballot going forward into a super tuesday, that this isn't a foregone conclusion. but if you take a look at the polls, we have donald trump with about 30 point lead over nikki haley and there is a sense with donald trump speaking in maryland for example that he has already moved on. he has his eyes on the republican nomination despite the fact is we know he is facing four micro—criminal trials going forward, 91 felony indictments against him right now, so it will be a difficult night here i think fit nikki haley. thank you forjoining us from charleston and we will have more on that voting that is happening in south carolina here on bbc news. you are watching bbc news, stay with us, we have the headlines after this short br

charleston and the focus here.atest citadel polling on charleston where trump has the lead, 54-to 41%. why is this so key looking back at nikki haley's past performance there? >> well, the key counties, the top three counties, kind of arrayed for the viewers, upper west or the northwest, greenville, and richland county in the center and charleston county in the southwest. trump dominated in the largest of the counties in 2020 and probably dominate here tomorrow, so if you look at greenville, it's a republican-rich target. then you've got columbia and charleston, those are voter rich environments where nikki haley needs not just to be competitive, she needs to win in those places if she's going to pull off this upset, which you know, you and i know is probably low probability, but we'll be watching those areas to see can she really kind of rack up numbers there to, you know, buffer her against the losses she's probably going to cede to trump in other counties. >> sandra: address the early voting and the totals, the

but she ever time c l g 0, charleston, south carolina. now donald trump says a victory and straight by mindy november election will be a liberation day for the united states. he was speaking on the final day of the conservative political action conference, one of the most influential annual events for the republican party temple. that's another 4 years of button in the white house would damage the country. a protest as also riling in the philippine capital manila reducing that president's admin and locust, virginia of trying to extend the limit until this time and office critics say he intends to make changes to the constitution that could alter the structure of the government. the rawlings come on the, on the vestry of the 1986 revolution, the top of mock of this fall, the valley below hospital for manila. in 1986, so called our revenue to which happened today 38 years ago. i mean, now you can trust me, but there are thousands that has failed to stretch the highway and they're testing again the eckworth administration to change the prese

she is in charleston. so is our reporter helena humphrey, who is at the haley campaign rally for us. donald trump projected to win south carolina. what's the atmosphere where you are there with the haley camp?— with the haley camp? perhaps ou can with the haley camp? perhaps you can tell— with the haley camp? perhaps you can tell actually _ with the haley camp? perhaps you can tell actually people i you can tell actually people here are in relatively good spirits, i have to say, and i think it's probably down to the fact that going into this, nikki haley has been preparing her supporters. nikki haley has been preparing hersupporters. she nikki haley has been preparing her supporters. she has been saying it is not necessarily about winning, instead it is about winning, instead it is about closing the gap on donald trump but the big question tonight of course we will be bringing you is the margins going into this, how badly or not did she lose? both numbers to look at, for example, 43% is what we saw her man

she's joining us now from charleston. a kiley nikki haley has said she hopes to come closer to trump than she did back in new hampshire. but how realistic is that >> well, wolf, there is not been a single poll in the last month or so that shows her coming closer to former president trump here in her home state of south carolina, then 32, 35 points. but of course that doesn't mean that it's impossible, right? we don't know what's gonna happen until we actually see those voters. those votes tallied up and nikki haley, for her part, appear to manage expectations today, saying that she hopes that it's going to be competitive, but not talking about coming within a certain margin of the former president. now she was also asked about about her strategy for super tuesday, and she said the strategy is to give voters an option and see, of course, which option they choose. she also went on to say this, take a listen you might go to russia and they'll fill on noise king there. but here in america, we have elections and people's voice

so i'm going to start down here in charleston because this is charleston county. it's the third largest county in the state. it's along the coste. this is your more affluent, you're more moderate republican some military retirees down there as well. this is where nikki haley must, must-win if she's going to have any chance in the state just because of the nature of the state although i just talked to two voters down in this county and both of them for haley, who also say there's a lot of trump talked down in. there was just texting with them before we came on the air. so we'll watch how charles kristen comes in another place to watch is up here horry county. this is where myrtle beach is. >> if >> any, republicans are going to have second thoughts about donald trump because he refuses to criticize vladimir putin, because he refuses to be tough when it comes to russia. a lot of military tradition here. it used to be in south carolina. you won the republican race by being for lower taxes, less government, maybe pro-life on abortion and for a strong military and agai

gibbs knotts is a professor at the college of charleston. he's also the author of first in the south. gibbs knotts always nice to see you. so i guess the short version is nikki haley would be a shoo in if donald trump wasn'a shoo in already. tell me a little bit about the electorate out there and and how it's looking at this moment. you're exactly right. i mean, she got elected twice as governor. she went on to serve in the un. she was popular in south carolina. she still is popular in south carolina. but i think it's it's really interesting to think about the pre-trump electorate and the post-trump electorate. the last time haley was on the ballot was 2014, and it's a much different south carolina gop. there's a different tone to the politics, and she's really not catching a lot of momentum right now. who will be able to vote in this primary? yeah, it's really important to know that we have an open primary. and one thing to note was that joe biden just won 96% of vote in the democratic primary, but only about 130,000 people voted that is 40

jerry in charleston, the chief diversity officer atust me univ. has just beent accused of roughlybe 40 instancs of plagiarism in her ph.d. dissertation. a si add in this single academicng paper she in her career, therere would be more accusations of plagiarism. but she was too lazy to write more than one fake paper. which begs the question, who was the last persos too n te an original idea at harvard? john adams . hn adams al gore. barack obama. you know, barack must sweating right now. not for plagiarism. he just ate a really dog. swe oh, good. >> now, charleston's husband is also a professor and according to the reports, her one publication even ripped ofr onf research that he did back in 2012. wait, a woman bringing up something her husband did yearsn ago. that's not plagiarism. that's marriage. oh, sexist would say. sexis >> or any man. yeah. but coming on the heels of harvard yes president claudine being forced to resign over the same thing, charleston scannengd all is looking likes harvard's own academic version of the metoo movemeng t. sudd

last night in charleston, former governor and u.n.mbassador nikki haley put her best spin on the result. >> i'm going to count it. i know 40% is not 50%. but i also know that 40% is not some tiny group. >> as for the former president, his friday night remarks at the black conservative federation gala in columbia, south carolina continued to overshaed dough his victory. >> black conservatives understand most that some of the greatest evils in our nation's history have come from corrupt systems that try to target and deny them their freedom and their rights. you understand that. i think that that is why the black people are so much on my side now because they see what is happening to me happens to them. these lights are so bright in my eyes that i can't see too many people out there. but i can only tee thsee the bl ones, i can't see any white ones. that is how far i've come. >> we begin with robert costa who is joining us from charleston. >> this was an open primary in south carolina, but just 3% of voters were block. do donald trump's
