Coronavirus cases have been detected with no known origin. Sport it is canceling International Football friendlies because of coronavirus the lympics are also in downs but were in senegal where africas best boxers still trying to qualify at the 2020. 2 to the news that the u. S. And Afghan Taliban are due to sign a preliminary deal in the coming hours the could eventually and americas longest running war is the result of 18 months of talks but once its agreed to go the 1st stage will be a 135. 00 day period of whats called a meaningful reduction in violence to include the exchange of 6000. 00 prisoners now that deal is being. Described as a precursor to a Peace Agreement between the warring sides within afghanistan itself its hoped that this will lead to talks between the taliban and the government in kabul as well as the withdrawal of foreign troops now leading up to the signing theres been an initial weeklong reduction in violence and that mostly held although there were still some attacks. There was a somber binge of it has spoken exclusively to taliban spokesman so heres shaheen he asked how the group responds to criticism that it wants to take away peoples rights we have the person of the truth we have our plants that you see there is peace and there is a. Commercial activities there is schools so if you go there. And when the security is more in in those areas and there are control rather than in the main cities provincial cities of the capital kabul so about womens rights a woman one that. To you cation and their right to work we both accept and give them as part of their islamic rules but only that they observe that age or. We have teams across the region covering the story from several angles in a moment well be speaking to kemal hyder whos in northern pakistan how the abdul hamid is standing by in afghanistans capital kabul but 1st lets speak to some of injury to use in the venue here in doha where the signing is due to take place and of course a very busy day and a momentous day for some who work very hard to try and get to this position just talk us through what we expect to happen a somber. Whats being called a historic day by people who are involved in this process old sides of the americans the taliban as well as interlocutors in between have been saying that this is going to be a momentous occasion because it is going to signal as you mentioned not just the sation of violence in afghanistan but also the draw of foreign troops from of conchoidal a long standing demand which was seen as an impediment to peace by the Afghan Taliban and that is something that the americans have agreed to according to the information that weve been provided this signing would pave the way for the troop drawdown from 1514215000 troops to just around 8000 in of going to stand from the american side the taliban has agreed that they will stop attacks on major stations it is very interesting that the choosing of words has been very very careful theyre not calling it a ceasefire but theyre calling a reduction of violence because the taliban is not an organized army as one analyst explained to as the door not door do not want their fighters to lay down their arms as of yet they want to them to continue to manned their positions but not carry out attacks the taliban spokesman told us that 70 percent of a gun a son is under their control they do not still accept the Afghan Government as the legitimate government but see them as a party to the conflict what has changed in the last 7 years when the office of the taliban 1st opened is the tone of the taliban they do not want to call it going to stand the Islamic Emirate of afghanistan did come to some sort of an agreement on that they do not want to do it completely refused to sit with the Afghan Government and they are ready to talk to all sides and that is something which is giving people cautious optimism that this might pave the way towards some sort of a Peace Agreement and of course it has to be cautious optimism because the next 135. 00 days is going to be crucial in the fact that a lot more stakeholders will have to get round the table to talk within afghanistan itself. Well in the last 24 hours weve heard that all sides have called on saboteurs quote unquote over trying to derail this reduction in violence for just one week and now this has to be expanded beyond weeks and months and that is something which is going to be very very difficult to achieve remember that there are multiple players involved in the guards and its not just the Afghan Government the taliban and the American Forces there are multiple players that play here so it is going to be difficult but to coin a phrase from Donald Rumsfeld from 20 years ago there are known knowns and unknown unknowns and this is that we are headed to words that intra Afghan Dialogue is going to begin there are 3 places which have been said that this process is going to take place either in qatar in germany or in norway this is going to be decided in the days to come and crucially 5000. 00 Afghan Taliban need to be released and of long official said that it is very very uneasy there an easy to say that 5000. 00 will be released in a matter of 10 days because the taliban wants hardened commanders people with strategic knowledge to be released and that is going to take time they are also expecting 1000. 00 Afghan Government troops to be released by the taliban as well so all of that is going to happen how it happens and how long does it take remains to be the question if you will continue to monitor events with you certainly from doha where that signing ceremony will take place in a few hours time lets take a quick look at the human cost of the u. S. Led invasion of afghanistan what more than 31000. 00 civilians have been killed since 2001 thats according to the u. N. Rights group nearly 58000 members of the Security Forces and 42000 opposition fighters have also diet nearly 2400 american soldiers were killed the u. S. Is estimated to have spent more than one trillion dollars on the conflict and the Afghan Ministry of Public Health says 23000000. 00 afghans or 2 thirds of the population suffer from Mental Health problems because of the war. Well in a moment well be speaking to hold up to her meeting kabul but 1st her report on how people in afghanistan are reacting to the deal. Its a momentous time for afghanistan many still in this believe that what had been unthinkable is happening the u. S. And the taliban agreeing with each other mohammed as eases a beat this has been the most peaceful week has seen in years we can go outside. Our homes without. Fear of anything so its been a good week yeah there. Is between there and we can only tolerate that its a real fake. That will be have lots of effects on Afghan People because the security of afghanistan is in the hands of the americans but outside of kabul in jabal siraj she could well have a bad wonders about his future he has mixed feelings the taliban ruled here before so he knows them well they are something. After all southern and its bad if the taliban come back i wont be able to run my business they forbid music i will have to leave the country for the past 40 years foreigners didnt let us live in peace thats why the countrys in the situation its maybe better if they leave but there will be no peace with the taliban it will be worse im scared the war has been devastating for bibi girl her husband a soldier the National Army was killed in a Suicide Attack in her whole province of little man then another 4 members of her family died in another attack being a widow with 7 children is stuff they help out by polishing shoes on the streets or begging in the market lot now weve never had any help from anyone its a miserable life my sons collect charge so we can burn it in the stove the foreigners must stay i havent seen anything good from the government and the taliban destroyed our lives. Its because of them that we became back as its humiliating only the foreigners can help us. The taliban controls nearly half of the country mainly rural areas where most of the war against american troops unfolded people have been told that they will fully withdraw soon and theres a sense of victory on the. People are happy we also want peace and security taliban are committed to their promise the fighters obey whatever orders they get this is a big success for us back in the cities it up my year is worried she was born as a refugee in iraq now shes a University Student part of a new generation full of aspiration Everybody Knows that tal advanced your ideals like Culture Limited and close minded they are and if they come to the government like officer the they cannot be implemented on an officer that they can implement and the people there will be hard as the women are 1st column on and never good with women and. The people working in the government are often sells these do not have peace between themselves and i dont think everyone has risen someone else like polamalu if only goes well do us will pull out its troops the taliban and afghan leaders might find a compromise but many afghans remain cautious about the future theyve seen many full stones before caught up to let me joins me now live from kabul. Opportunity about to be signed in the next couple of hours but as with hearing were seeing the road ahead really is still so with so much uncertainty from so many saw its what are you hearing where you are. Certainly there is a lot of uncertainty and i think when you speak to Afghan People they do have the hope that this will bring about a permanent ceasefire that bring about peace and stability that hope is there but they also extremely cautious about and many will tell you we heard that over and over again and also they are very worried about their own Political Leadership theres a lot of this unity a lot of bickering 5 months after the elections i still not able to figure out who is the president of this country you have 2 candidates saying that they have both the winners to have that they both threatened just last week to go ahead with their own separate integrations it took a lot of effort from the u. S. Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad to just have everybody come down at least until after the ceremony in go higher now joining me here is which takraw he he is from the afghan afghans unit think tank here in kabul which tax thank you very much for joining us now when you speak to afghans they say yes we want peace but they have a lot of doubt they have a lot of but how what you know you walk around kabul today its as if nothing is happening its a normal day when there is a big joke quite a bit of forward among among the Afghan People and by look of the things like this social media if you look at the bay the way people are celebrating it there is definitely a feeling of hope among the people of course with a lot of skepticism they are very cautious about the future because in the past similar processes have taken place without delivering the desired result so there is a hope with with the cautiousness the 2nd thing is that there is a quite a bit of misinformation about the whole process as you know a lot of things that get close to the chest of those who have been talking to each other not much has been released nobody knows how things are going there we will have to be a signing ceremony in doha kabul. I will be hosting 2 senior officials of the International Community who will be talking to the president and issuing a joint statement and then member no hope of understanding the future a lot of confusing confusion about the process thats a really meeting people who have little bit of skepticism. They have got their doubts and that is pulling them back in regard to showing absolute enthusiasm for the whole process and i think also theres probably the problem of whats going on among afghan politicians a lot of bickering a lot of disunity and that could be really one of the Biggest Challenges to this entire Peace Process absolutely youre absolutely on the dart in this regard because there is a lot of divide among the political quality here in kabul they are divided on different political lines that belong to different election tickets and because of that there is lack of consensus in kabul and the media concern is that who is going all the president has been calling shots as well as it is process concern at least for this latest phase in the sitting president. But the point is that who is going to bring everybody together who is going to build this consensus is it possible to do it that quickly so that the avalon Peace Process can move to the next state that is in trouble and talks that thats a serious concern at the moment among those who are following that you can see things and certainly there is a lot of skepticism thank you very much and wish to act now defense secretary of defense mark aspart and the u. N. Secretary general. Are both here in kabul they have met with dr Abdullah Abdullah was the 1st major rival to incumbent president as have any are sent to joint declaration with the afghan president in the hours to. This isnt nearly as show of support to. Government here trying to say really giving that message we are still supporting Afghan Government react behind afghanistan the Afghan Government feeling really left on the margins of this entire process happening in doha and im not being very happy about it of course were coming back to harder as the day progresses for more insight and analysis hard on me there for us in kabul lets cross over the border from afghanistan and get the pakistani perspective is our correspondent is at a refugee camp just outside of bashar near the border with afghanistan of course kemal successive pakistani governments have often said that a stable pakistan a stable afghanistan suits pakistan and thats what they would hope for yet weve seen International Capitals and politicians often accusing his sons intelligence agencies of supporting terror and destabilizing afghanistan across the border how does islamabad sit in this very interesting you might say peace deal at this moment in 2020. But if you have. Any foreign men are. Dead give dog a game of. Your favorite dog. And the you go to import. That bugger thought had already they. Would be benefited on board of one and done and. Shared a new development and. Have been living and. They started it all but. They have been out here day joined again by get on the bug. And ive been thing there all those buggers on the dollar bonfire dared go upwards. Of one is done they did their difference of opinion between and it. Was good fun to thing that had played a crucial role. I thought of one and done it on the schools the next 135. 00 days will be in pulled it just doesnt end that does it mean all the stakeholders including islam will still be trying to make headway in the long term peace that can suit everybody across afghanistan in the cold brings the way you are in the miserable weather that we can see to a much more peaceful area between the 2 countries because i will a ship has been so very frosty. Out. Forgetting the fact that did a big division between the avalon leadership in no one knows how dad rated and why thats on the bonnet of the america. Which road. Of american for no one. Can really play out on. The 911 many of the water. That. They are. Going to be a very fluid situation but. Thanks very much to that our correspondent. Thank you. Well still ahead here on the aljazeera news his president ial campaign in the balance is supposed to go to the polls in South Carolina to pick a democratic candidate but in sports were looking at whether coronavirus could possibly stop liverpool winning the premier league title. Turkish president. Asked his russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to get out of the way in syrias last rebel bastion of it follows the death of 34 turkish troops in a strike by russian but Syrian Government forces. We killed more than 2000 syrian soldiers and destroyed more than 300. 00 Armored Vehicles we will prove to the Syrian Regime and those backing them that we are capable of this only yesterday we destroyed 7 chemical depos we did not want the siskel ation it was the Syrian Regime the forced us into it and thats why the Syrian Regime must pay the price. Of oil and also. Confirmed his countrys borders with europe are open as thousands of refugees gather at the frontier greece in a moment well get more on that from natasha game in istanbul but 1st lets speak to synagogue whos in her near turkeys border with syria and iran speaking very clearly about his military and the sacrifices that theyve made for the country but also his very clear objectives in syria. Yes exactly i dont try to make 2 things clear for the 1st one is that turkey will not back on its military presence inside and the 2nd thing was that turkey doesnt have any intention for a territorial gain or any National Interest on syrias Oil Natural Resources one other thing that he made clear was that turkey doesnt have any power left to carry the burden off some more refugees he emphasized that there are 4000000 is civilians inside and around 1000000. 00 of them are right behind the border which is behind us actually right now and those people are waiting to enter turkey to be able to find freedom inside turkey or inside europe and he said we didnt come upon the request of the Syrian Government by the plan the requests of those civilians innocent people and unless this assault this. Assault stops over dissolute civilians the strategy stops we will not be getting out and as you know so today is the last day for the ultimatum that presence i gave to the Syrian Government which was basically asking the Syrian Government to go back to its previous locations right below right south of the m 4 and m 5 highway highways which are very important and vital for the Syrian People because its the main logistics road and today is the last day and a he he said that turkey is determined unless the Syrian Government forces go below that border turkey will continue its operations and there are still turkish soldiers there are turkish because turks have been attacking this syrian post Syrian Army Positions as special a sense though. That those 33 soldiers got killed in a building after an air strike by the Syrian Government everybody accused russia by the way after this incident i have to tell this everybody accuse russia for not stopping the Syrian Government because in turkey there is a perception that the Syrian Government will mark and will never act without the permission of the russians thats why they accuse the russians but so they are dons messages messages were also warm to towards moscow he said that he talked to put in and then we had the statement by the Russian Defense minister i would say that both turkey and russia are. Complying with us and ill start i suppose has not been that but of course the things in the field are different the fight continues and it is still very tense inside it for the update thanks very much similar to salute on the syria turkey border greece and area of tighten Border Controls have to turkey said that it would no longer hold back refugees this was the scene earlier on the greek island of kos 15 kilometers of the Turkish Coast is already housing tens of thousands of refugees and migrants well inside turkey thousands of gathered increases land border been reports of confrontations with 4 to authorities and several arrests lets get the latest now from natasha who for us and obviously what can we conclude really from the images that were seeing you know migrants potentially leaving turkey by london c. It will certainly worry the you but its what present to insert would happen. Exactly and per president erdogan spoke a short time ago and said that he will not close the borders this is not the 1st time that he has done this but were waiting to find out if this is a temporary measure to send a message to nato and europe or if this may be something more president says that 18000 migrants have crossed from turkey into europe since the borders were opened by turkey on friday greece says that it has stopped more than 4000. 00 migrants from attempting to cross into their country and that its now sending reinforcements to the border the sea and land borders would you have right now though is a tense situation at a turkey a greek checkpoint on the turkey side its a checkpoint in the city of a durned and what we are seeing yesterday from morning into the evening here in istanbul there were 2 spots where hundreds of Syrian Refugees were being bussed for free to this checkpoint once at the checkpoint were told that they have crossed over the Turkish Border but that theyre now in a kind of no mans land trapped between the official borders of turkey and greece theyre facing a massive cloud of tear gas bear in mind there are a lot of women and children in this group and greek authorities are saying that the migrants are lobbying stones at the police the Syrian Refugees we spoke to say that they are trading the stability and security they have enjoyed here in turkey for the chance to make a livable wage and to pursue their goals by proceeding deeper in to europe this is something that turkey has taken measures to stop when in 2016 it signed a deal with the European Union in exchange for exerting a stricter controls at the border that European Union gave turkey about 7000000000. Dollars in assistance but president has reached a point of saying that enough is enough it has absorbed 3700000 Syrian Refugees that has exacted a toll on the turkish economy and bear in mind that turkey is in the midst of mourning its largest number of turkish soldiers casualties in syria since it entered the war in 2016 so the country is feeling angry its feeling isolated by dado allies and its asking europe as well as the rest of the world to assist it with what it calls a humanitarian crisis with such a thanks for the update its actually going to our correspondent stumble. Its called 2 of the top story that were covering a lot of the corona Virus Outbreak is showing no signs of slowing most cases spread outside of china iran has just reported 295 new infections up from 388 meanwhile 2 new cases in the United States are raising questions about how the virus might be spreading the patients in california and oregon has no known connection to any existing infections or hotspots in the country in Los Angeles Robles has more on the case. This is a person who is in Northern California described as a woman who had some underlying respiratory disease problems and her doctor sent her to the hospital she was tested there and tested positive for the corona virus she had now what the important thing here is that she didnt get it on a cruise ship she didnt meet with someone who just got off a plane from will hon she hasnt been to italy or iran or south korea or any of the other places she got coronavirus here in the United States and now in addition this person lives in a community about 145 kilometers from the 1st possible Community Transmission case in who was the identified earlier this week so that seems that theres 2 at least 2 separate clusters of transmission in Northern California this is called Community Transmission and what it means is that its circulating in the Community One person gets sick another person will get sick another person will pass that on to others and then this is what happened in italy in south korea etc important to note that no one has been placed under any kind of quarantine in Northern California except for the 2 patients who are receiving care in hospitals. Well its time for the weather now his robin western europe still getting a pretty heavy battering rolled another in the series of winter storms a short faeries been rather vicious months wind wise which wise and even snow wise so this is not a Welcome Development its been named as jorge and you see this wrapped around this low is just north of ireland but the whole system spreads across most of north near in fact as a change to the weather in a good part of europe undergoing at the moment but well focus on the u. K. Youve seen plenty of flooding on the west is out of england the river 7 the why this is the eastern side of england a different river however the effect is much the same its because the land is soft and weve had these 3 storms on quite alright anyway so any more is not very welcome will inevitably cause a certain amount of fighting and there are warnings out not just today but for the next 23 days this is picture the picture as it stands its all starting at the moment the winds are directly in from the west could well gust up to 100 kilometers from where weve seen worse but thats but enough however all the hills from wells and centering the north has to scott on the nod and well be seeing the half meters now or thereabouts rain will fall too and all that rain will come out into the rivers so more flooding is inevitable the said the whole system extends through the rest of europe also stows you in norway and sweden and rain eventually down through france to spain and portugal. Thanks very much rob well still ahead here on aljazeera relief attorney its world number one survives a scare in the bar thats coming up with jerry and school.

Oh. Look like you actually are serious are with me so whole run the reminder of our top stories after 18 months of talks in doha and almost 2 decades of war the u. S. And the taliban are due to sign a deal soon aimed at bringing peace to afghanistan it hoped it will lead to the withdrawal of foreign troops. Also these are live pictures coming to us from the greece turkey border where thousands of people have gathered at turkeys land border with greece and after turkey said it would no longer hold back refugees greece and bulgaria have tightened their Border Control is also concerns about corona virus and how its spreading in the u. S. Are 2 cases confirmed that any connection to previous infections or hotspots meanwhile iran is reporting 295. 00 huge sections in just 24 hours and 9 more deaths. Lets get more now on our topic thats the historic agreement between the u. S. And taliban that these talks began in september 28th seen with the appointment of the u. S. Special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad and american diplomats military representatives and the taliban held more than a dozen rounds of negotiations in doha where the talks briefly called off by President Trump a september now the u. S. Team or to the taliban support in its counterterrorism efforts while the taliban demanded a forward draw of Foreign Forces from afghanistan the u. S. Said it would only sign an agreement if the taliban called a ceasefire and show the goshi ations directly with the Afghan Government al jazeera some a bit of it has spoken exclusively to taliban spokesman so hill shahid he asked him what made his deal convince a given the taliban still carried out attacks in the past week. Course it was a deduction in war limits as we call it or to provide a secure in war in order went before the signing after agreement and that we did and and the other thing is that there was some kind of war you we have not attacked any convoy in the year 2 trees in the 2 trees held by the coverlid ministration did the sum of 4 those convoys were attacked when they came out from the police and inter to our trees so that was a kind of or why nation and our. People on ground they stopped it the allegations from the afghan side is that one does not accept our realities this fear is that of understand well go back if the taliban is allowed to rule it on its own on Civil Liberties on Girls Education and basic rights on democracy what will you say it was sure the Afghan People that this is good for afghans it wont reverse them and take them back 10 years from before we have 70 percent of the treaty of our plants that you see it is peace and there is a. Commercial activities there is schools so if you go there. In the end and when the security is more in in those areas and there are control rather than in the main cities cities that cover the capital kabul so about womens rights a woman won that. Right to you cation and their right to work we both accept and give them as per the islamic rules but only that they observe the hey joe. Jaeger name is al jazeera is middle east analyst hes covered afghanistan extensively as a war correspondents could have you with us in studio how significant is todays signing ceremony well it is a big achievement lets admit to what has been happening. In terms of the negotiations between the United States some taleban. Being crowned today or just about to be crowned today which is a really big achievement for all the contracting parties the future contracting parties the United States taliban and in other words we can talk about afghanistans because you know what what has been happening actually confirms what we have been saying over and over. For many years the taliban was not just as the United States claim for years its not just it was its not just the organization. A religious organization or political grouping it is the manifestation of the great majority of of afghanistan which is. Indeed of course there are big hurdles still to be. Got through in the next 135 days a very small steps are they not because you know weve seen in it how to support and assad must report you know weve got intra afghan talks to be dealt with there are various warlords that have to be dealt with then theres regional neighbors also to be dealt with theres a lot of work still to be done well when it comes to afghanistan usually were not talking about something something simple were talking about something very complicated afghanistans very complicated ethnic wise tribal wise. Political wise geographically speaking also its a barry complicated country and that is why we have been we have seen eventually the 1st superpower going down to negotiate was on state into the which means a lot it means you know amongst what it means is you know that the superpower have failed big time militarily speaking them politically speak in and eventually the 1st of all have to admit that their decision has to be reconsidered in terms of occupying afghanistan or actually or even you know keeping minimal military existence in and such country it means also that that nonstate entity have made a very big achievement militarily military wise so you know that this this deal means a lot politically militarily to mystically in afghanistan domestically in the United States and regionally as well and because of all these things there are serious challenges facing that the of course will be im thinking those in the hours ahead for the moment thanks very much for joining us on the set. Religious king has appointed a new Prime Minister less than a week after Mahathir Mohamad stepped down as leader of the king says more than your city was the most or has the most Important Parliament after winning the backing of 2 of the main opposition parties on friday night is a blow from hamad who is trying to form a new unity government you are seen as president of the bizarre 2 party which mohammed quits when he resigned on monday put it well she is a Senior Research fellow at the National Taiwan university and author of regime resilience in malaysia she joins me now via skype from kuala lumpur good to have you with us on the program some pretty serious backtracking by mahathir and a new option as the Prime Minister in terms of yaseen you couldnt write this script could chew. Now i make shakespeare look boring and that think something whether this whole scenario has backfired on martir has he miscalculated because what has happened is that the new Prime Minister nominee that the king has nominated is very close to the former. Government that was ousted from power in that historic election just a few years ago. Well it clearly seems to be the case i think that what we see is that the former government. Led by colin know is now back in government along with other 4 other parties as part of a coalition being led by a man calmly and yassin who has had 41 years of experience and he was kicked out in 2050 as deputy Prime Minister he was sacked for raising the issues of corruption when m d b but now in the sort of elite wrangling thats happened in the last week or so in malaysia hes joined forces with the same person in the same party that he was sacked from and issues he stood up for before now he seems to be making alliances with and he is now the a Prime Minister of malaysia where does this leave. That great sort of Popular Support but cullen seemed to get the m. P. s in parliament also the seats to push him towards that position of the Prime Ministership there was an agreement with them how but they all seems to go horribly wrong. Well i think 1st of all the situation is not completely over in the sense that i my my sense my feeling is that the opposition now with a more uber ham and marketeer will continue to fight i think one of the issues ahead is whether or not theyll be a vote of confidence or no confidence in the parliament in an a week or so also the issue has to do with legalities and questions a lot of people in malaysia are very upset the. Not my fight pm is do is this is one of the tweeting at the highest level in malaysia at the same time you know me again yes and his coalition also garner a fair amount of support because of the parties that are included within it and so i think its going to be testing times ahead to see how this what the response is in society and one of the elites and are and of course we did yes and as a man without the mandate he faces a real challenge to get support and to move the country forward in terms of governance if you keep in mind that he was just part of the pack of time harper and coalition he was seen to have left that coalition and betrayed it for many people he was also seen as an obstacle to reform within that coalition it served as the Public Affairs minister he said but hes at the same time hes a very capable of minister hes served hes served in 6 different ministries since hes entered politics over 40 years ago he entered in 178 so were going to see a very difficult challenge permitted in to be able to move the country forward yes not offered plans in that regard he also faces his own coalition is very big and its going to be some challenges and that and keeping that coalition happy together given the fact that there are differences on issues of the prosecutions should they move forward their differences on positioning a lot of this is all about money and greed and position and its also differences on certain policy or issue areas involving greater power cease malaysian. For example and its a very interesting political story unfolding bridgette well since so much for joining us on the program most well im. Well in a few hours time voters in the u. S. State of South Carolina will decide which democrat they think should challenge donald trump for the presidency its seen as a key primary full form of Vice President joe biden but hes enjoyed strong support among the states africanamerican voters but some of his rivals are placing the gap and he reports now from charleston. Was. Some a calling it joe bidens last stand and theres no doubting the importance of South Carolinas democratic primary to the former Vice President biden has a history here and a Good Relationship with africanamericans who make up 60 percent of democratic voters where 9 worshippers were killed by a white supremacist 5 years ago in Charleston Biden stood alongside president obama to lend his support its that kind of connection that biden is touting and was bored by that last sentence because all the birds are the rivals though are making inroads Billionaire Tom Steyer has spent a fortune running political ads and gaining traction tongues by truck get a ticket bidens hopes of winning here are high but South Carolinas black voters dont speak with one voice africanamerican democratic voters a united in their desire to see President Trump out of Office Making them potentially more pragmatic than loyal to just one candidate the former Vice President s been falling in the polls his campaign is denied referring to the black vote as their fire was then there is the generation gap Bernie Sanders is doing well with young black millennial further eating into bidens months commandingly warn about. The his what have you 56 year old Loretta Maxwell is a biden loyalist daughter in law is looking for an alternative and bernie could be the candidate thats where a lot of young black people. Gravitate toward these days are the progressive candidates not the regular establishment candidates so i think thats what bernie brains to the table and thats what makes him so different as well on wednesday biden was endorsed by congressman James Clyburn long considered the godfather of Democratic Politics in the state he could be a crucial seal of approval among black voters i know that you we know. Us after early losses saturdays primary is a vital test for biden he cant just win here he needs to win big we need real watching the white house.
