Turkey opens its border with greece saying it wont stop migrants trying to cross into europe. Now comfortable which is being predicted for former Vice President joe biden in South Carolina the 1st Southern State to vote in the process to select the candid it will take on donald trump in novembers president ial election the result is closely watched as South Carolina is the 1st state with a large black population to vote africanamericans are a key element of the Democratic Partys support. Oh you were knocked down counted out lucky arent rices your cafe the law. First days ago the press and the pundits a Good Practice can see dead. Now our thanks to all of your own heart of the democratic right we just want and weve long big because. There are 54. 00 delegates up for grabs in South Carolina if biden does particularly well he could draw level with Bernie Sanders in that number of total delegates gained so far the vote in South Carolina comes just days before the only important super to say thats when a quarter of all remaining delegates are allocated in 14 states plus American Samoa see fit to say will also mark Mike Bloomberg 1st appearance on ballots the film a new york mayor was not part of the competitions so far well Bernie Sanders has spoken to his supporters in virginia he conceded defeat in South Carolina but says this weeks super tuesday will give his campaign a significant boost tonight we did not win in South Carolina. Last review only defeat there are a lot of states in this country nobody wins of all i want to congratulate joe barton on his victory tonight the. Nano we add to super tuesday a good 3rd of the of the well there in South Carolina in columbia is our correspondent andy gallagher. To say this is a boost for the Biden Campaign would be an understatement this is the 1st a truly diverse state in these primaries so far member we had New Hampshire we had iowa we had nevada here we have a large africanamerican population hispanic population this has given joe biden the legitimacy and the momentum he needs going into super tuesday a lot of moderate people in the Democratic Party have been looking for a moderate candidate to take on Bernie Sanders they may have just found him in joe biden because his lead was getting into steadily as we were running up to this primary Bernie Sanders was making traction with young black men 9 year olds tom steyer was spending a fortune and some of the polls had 20 sanders within the margin of error but the polls close at 7 oclock tonight within minutes they were declaring joe biden as the winner of the South Carolina primary so this is more than just a boost this is given joe biden the energy needs hes given his supporters the energy they need and all those people who will vote on super tuesday 14 states on American Samoa will dish out almost a 3rd of all the delegates is a potentially Game Changing day in politics in the fight now its looking way way stronger than he has in the past well i just mentioned tom mention tom stiva the billionaire who is projected to finish in 3rd place in South Carolina what weve learned within the last hour or so that is that he dropped out of the race that voters have been a major target as says campaign the environmentalists spent more than 18000000. 00 say hes been a fish critic of president john and has full trade himself as a political outside to say fremens is editor at large at the hill he says bidens now drawn even with frontrunner but he sounds as. A few hours ago it was a big question mark it didnt look like you. Necessarily look wobbly tonight you look like her go charged and raring to go and we have a race again i mean people were beginning to wonder if anyone could catch up with Bernie Sanders if they match his momentum and as we just heard. You know really knocked out all of the point i think its going to be a lead much more than 10 points but a significant double digit lead which shows that black voters who are so teach to the president ial race in Democratic Politics are thus far not jumping on with any of the other candidates yet and that gives 5 real strength to the super tuesday doesnt solve all of this problem but this was a huge huge win for joe biden we all thought he would win but the question for even if you want to point that would be a lot today joe biden is a major player hes probably going to pull way out you know right up with bernie in terms of overall delegates now and as we go into super tuesday were going to have a multipronged greats and you know the one candidate whos not was not as great with Mike Bloomberg so bloomberg would come in big in 3 days from now as well and what you have now is a fascinating thing with the soul of the Democratic Party is up for grabs and no one knows whos going to win to other news now and to say to measures hes been declared in the u. S. State of washington now for a man died that all of coronavirus president tom cole succumbed off to confirming the 1st death in the u. S.

We dont know how this person was infected but Washington State officials did say that the man who was in his fiftys did have preexisting Health Conditions and Infectious Disease experts say those are the people who are most at risk of contracting the virus and having an adverse effect from it from becoming very very sick or possibly dying from coronavirus for everyone else people who are generally considered healthy they might develop a worst a bad cold or a moderate cold but their immune systems are supposedly Strong Enough to withstand the virus now we dont know anything more about where this man had been before he was exposed to the virus and that is something which Infectious Disease experts are now trying to determine there particularly concerned because there have been at least 3 or 4 counties its now on the u. S. West coast where there wasnt any prior travel to a country where the disease has infected hundreds of people notably china or south korea or italy those are the 3 countries that have the largest numbers of cases right now.

Some call us miss apartment overlooks israel separation wall but he says this view could get worse the Israeli Housing Ministry has started the process to approve 9000 new houses they form part of a new illegal israeli settlement that would cut off the East Jerusalem neighborhoods north of the wall from those to its west that would prevent the development of the central metropolis in any future palestinian state to our side of us all of us is a lot in which i build this apartment because there was some sort of an open air view and not a cramped neighborhood but if the open space is gone i will be forced to leave i also expect violent clashes if the settlement is built if approved the settlement would be built on this empty land in East Jerusalem it fell under Israeli Occupation in 1967 and used to be an airport until violence in the year 2000 the 2 its closure now the areas isolated from its surrounding by the israeli separation wall but a new settlement could mean the demolition of nearby buildings including the one where we some lives. The u. S. Mideast peace plan proposed by President Donald Trump in january so just this area would be a part of a future palestinian state palestinians rejected the plan saying it doesnt meet the minimum requirements for statehood and takes away an additional 30 percent of their lands under the plan illegal israeli settlements will stay in place in the weeks leading up to elections israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has been announcing more units in israeli settlements in the occupied west Bank Including israel slim both netanyahu and his rival benny gantz have promised to annex israeli settlements scholar say israeli politicians are trying to appeal to voters who are shifting increasingly to their right the 2nd of them of course theres competition between blue and white party headed by benny gantz and the likud party by netanyahu who inside small weiland against palestinians members of can spotty are not providing an alternative to netanyahu but theyre trying to be more radical than him when it comes to the palestinians and the arabs. With the u. S. And israel having the closest relations ever palestinian Officials Say theyre pushing European Countries to recognize the palestinian state to proceed israel lonely and alone in such a fight since everybody is there to please trump and everybody is there to please not and you know and obviously in the hype of these socalled normalization that arab countries are committing themselves to palestinians feel desperate for support palestinians say israeli plans on the ground including settlement expansions have been advancing for decades but what is wrong of elections the main contenders rushed to make new announcements that end up stripping palestinians of more lands and making their dream of statehood even more difficult is that.
