They may have made it more difficult for Hillary Clinton and donald trump to secure respective party nominations. David schuster reports. It is my greatly pleasure to introduce Hillary Clinton. Reporter in pennsylvania, the Democratic Front runner embraced organized labor and tried in her speech to reset her campaign. When unions are strong, families are strong and americans are strong. But after losing the last eight democratic contests, her frustration with Bernie Sanders is boiling over. In a Television Interview she attacked him over Climate Change. I couldnt believe it when senator sanders opposed the Paris Agreement, the best chance we have to embrace Climate Change and deal with the consequences. Reporter but senator sanders said he didnt oppose the Paris Agreement for any other reason than it doesnt go far enough. Some environmental activists are now blasting clinton, quotemen s part of clintons challenge with progressives on Environmental Issues is that she is supported fracking. Bernie sanders has consistently opposed it. No, do i not support fracking. Reporter polls suggest most democrats on this are with sanders and its a wedge issue that can be big for democratic voters in new york. Polls suggest clintons overall lead has dropped to 12 points when just last month her lead in other polls were as high as 40. Sanders erased a double digit deficit. Fest. You are going to be proud of your country again. Reporter the republican race could provide a recess for gop front runner donald trump. But reeling from a bad loss tuesday night in wisconsin the Trump Campaign is intensifying its fight against cruz, santa cruz is no worse than a stroaj aa trojanhorse. This is going to be a very serious problem. If senator cruz continues to go go down that path and then neither trump nor cruz becomes the nominee. Instead he focused reporters and diners on his antiregulation policies. Im very glad were here in a Small Business thats providing jobs providing opportunities and it is getting harder and harder for Small Businesses like this. Be. Reporter are immigrantcommu. If you are an immigrant youre not welcome here. Reporter in your face style pay add to the intensity of the gop race and regardless what happens in new york and beyond the odds of a contested republican consequence are growing. God bless you reporter that would be good news for democrats except the race between clinton and sanders also remains undecided. Weve got to get the energy going. Reporter david schuster, al jazeera. Senator sanders highly publicized interview with the New York Daily News is being used against him again. If they followed the law in selling those weapons. This drew the ire of the daughter of the principal killed in the sandy hook shooting, who took to twitter, saying, shame on you, Bernie Sanders. Love the sandy hook daughter. In l. A. Tonight, bill how is new york different when it comes to politics . Tougher, wilder, more wideopen, much no more media coverage. Its the wild west. In this case its Donald Trumps home state, Hillary Clintons state she remitted in the senate for a number of years and where Bernie Sanders was born and grew up. Many of them can claim ties to new york. Does donald trump bes posin mean hes got a leg up . Hes got a style but not particularly particular in new york. They usually go for a establishment moderate republican which is not quite Donald Trumps style. On the other hand, to vote against trump means they would have to volt for somebody like ted cruz or particularly ted cruz, not a be trump style republican, its going to take some effort for ted cruz to be able to win new york. We saw those protesters who complained about ted cruzs immigration policy, is he likely to see more of this in your face campaigning and have to deal with it . Hey, its new york. Everybody is going to be in your face. Thats what they do there. Wherever trump shows up, wherever cruz shows up or wherever perhaps clinton and sanders show up. Hillary clinton is grew up in new york, Bernie Sanders is from new york. The new York Democratic party has a large proportion of the minority voters. African americans, latino americans, heavily in democratic primaries and they have in the past generally vetted for Hillary Clinton. However, Bernie Sanders cut into those votes substantially. It should be a Hillary Clinton advantage but there are a lot of liberals and progressives who like Bernie Sanders so it could end up with sanders momentum now, could be a much closer race than we thought. You have heard liberal democrats speaking out lately complaining that Bernie Sanders is tearing down Hillary Clinton and make her weaker for republicans in november. How do you read that . That assumes of course shes the northwest annal nominee which sanders would never assume. Thats what a primary is all about a divisive primary. Usually the different sides make up and kiss in the end then its okay. Whoever wins a tough primary fight usually looks stronger as a result. So if she wins this primary fight after a tougher challenge from sanders she could look a lot stronger. Bul saunders, thank you bill. Sure. You might think of florida or ohio, you probably would not think of the u. S. Virgin islands. But this years different. Adam may reports from st. Croix. Just a little over 100,000 americans live in the u. S. Virgin islands. Although they are citizens they dont have the right to vote in the general election. But many are active in Party Politics and this year they could be more important than ever. Paradise and politics are surfing towards a collision in the u. S. Virgin islands. The u. S. Territory will send nine delegates to the Gop Convention and they are planning to make a splash. 00 hottest date in town, all of us that are uncommitted. Lets put it this way they realize it. If they dont, the ground game is critical now. Holland redfield, the talk show host says president ial candidates are wooing him and the unbound delegates. They want a marriage. I want more than flowers. Have you made a decision on who you are going to support . As i told you, im leading towards john kasich. I think hes the only adult in the room. The only one i have real difficulty with is donald trump. The Virgin Islands and American Samoa are not holding preference votes. Neither are wyoming and colorado. That is 121 gop delegates plus a handful from other states up for grabs. That includes john canegotta, chair of the virgin delegates. What if he lost by two votes . Thats when a couple votes, nine from the Virgin Islands becomes very important. Reporter the owner of a gun shop, a u. S. Military veteran and a fifth generation virgin islander, his political view leans more conservative. As chair hes also embroiled in a controversy. Who will send to the convention as delegates . As the islands sort that out hes sticking to his guns about being open minded. I think im still neutral. We have a group of great candidates and they are being whittled down. Others active in political campaigns are also voicing opinions. A Furniture Store in st. Croix, part of an influential and sizable contingent of muslim Business Owners on the islands. We basically control the economy, this here owned by an arab person i would say 70 of the tenants are arabs. Another big block are arab, the ensure major supermarkets here in the island and st. Thom ass are being owned by arab be bees. Arabs. The political campaigning right now especially in the Republican Party is a very disappointed for me. That two front runners, donald trump and santa cruz, the ted y dont represent the party that im proud of. The two of them you are outrageously insane about the way they run their businesses and the lack of respect for each other. Reporter given the fact that st. Croix has a large muslim you american community, many Business Owners you must have the ear of some of the uncommitted delegates that will be heading to the convention, what do you tell them . Theyre not going to vote for trump. I dont think theyre going to vote for ted cruz either. These two people are so outrageously farright. You know . We need somebody moderate to be the representative of the republic in this case. I wish john kasich good luck. While who the uncommitted delegates will represent is up in the air, they need more from washington to deal with their struggling economy, high unemployment and lack of social services. Reporter what does it mean to you that the Virgin Islands may get a really big say in this . Finally some of these issues that we have been screaming and hollering about we will be heard, and that we are in a position of strength, not weakness. Reporter do people here feel cheated by washington that they dont get to vote in the general election . I absolutely believe the Virgin Islands should vote for president. My father served during korean war, i served in desert storm. My brother served in iraq. We absolutely will be represented. An island known for its butte, hoping to add political power to its reputation.

A new study by the World Health Organization finds that the number of People Living with diabetes has nearly quad resumed since 1980, kills over 1. 5 Million People every year. Health officials warn the number of people affected by the disease will only increase unless drastic measures are taken. Tarek ba bazley reports. The only one of its type in the country and has seen the number of people with the illness rise every year. Many of them with little knowledge about the condition. Translator we are so busy at home with the children. We dont have time for ourselves. We dont take care of ourselves, the doctor told me not to eat too much sugar or bread or rice. Ill do what he says and hopefully ill recover. Reporter the World Health Organization says more than 480 Million People have diabetes. The w. H. O. Says its rise is connected to the increasing rates of obesity and more people being overweight and the trend is most apparent in low and middle income countries. The numbers are raising at an alarming rate. At the moment we are ranking one to every ten persons diabetic. But as were moving on it polite move up to one in every four. So that means you can see at least one person in each family is affected by diabetes. Wealthy countries such as qatar are also seeing a steep rise in diabetes. Education programs aimed at young people are stressing the importance of a healthy diet and exercise. Rich or poor, underlying the fact that diabetes is a truly Global Health issue. One that will require dramatic changes to the way we live if Current Trends are going to be halted. There is no one answer that the w. H. O. Can give, they cant say, this is the releas recipe,y this and its going to be okay, its not. It will be policy makeers as well as the population at a will have to continual up with a solution. New forms of the hormone insulin, these can be more effective at treatin treating d, but back in the clinic in pakistan its bad news for this elderly man. He was diagnosed with diabetes three years ago. Poor blood circulation as a result of the disease peens he now risks losing his foot. The w. H. O. Says, individuals and governments need to do more and without drastic action, diabetes will continue what its describes as its unrelenting march. Be tarek bazley, al jazeera, doha. Doctor, tell me why these numbers, why since 1980, the number of patients with diabetes has quadrupled. Well, we know that its tied to the increase in obesity. As you know, its not just adults who have gotten obese particularly in the u. S. There are also children who are now obese. And one form of diabetes, the one thats increasing remarkably called type 2 diabetes, used to be called adult onset because we literally never saw it in kids. But now that kids are getting obese, the obesity rate has risen we are now seeing a lot of type 2 diabetes even in children. So let me just check you on these numbers here. Did the rates actually match, has the rate of obesity quadrupled since 1980 quts. Yo1980 . Thats a good question. I dont know that i could say that. But we do know the rates of obesity have soared and we now have more people in the world who are obese than are undernourished or underweight. We hear a lot about type one and type two diabetes. Explain the difference for us. Sure. Type two is the most common. It makes up about 80 to 85 of the cases of diabetes. And thats the one thats increasing remarkably in incidence. And its caused primarily because insulin, the drug you mentioned is actually a hormone in the body becomes less effective as we gain weight. So we call that insulin resistance and its the underlying problem in type two diabetes. Very different from type one diabetes which is really an autoimmune condition that affects the gland that makes insulin and wipes it out completely. So type 1 diabetics have to have insulin to live. Whereas type 2 diabetics can survive without insulin, although many will require insulin to get their diabetes in control. This rise in type two diabetes, sit on the rise accreditation the board, younger people, older people do we know . There are moving parts, the risk factors for diabetes besides becoming obese is also your genetics, which is related to your ethnicity. So we know that certain ethnic groups have more insulin resistance and tend to get insulin at lower rates than others, people in the philippines are an example. Other risks, for diabetes is smoking, and one of the ones that ties to your question is we tend ose to see more type 2 dias as people age. There are campaigns in this country for people to cut back on sugary drinks and food. Has that worked . Thats a really interesting question. So there is a relationship between sugary soft drinks for example and the onset of diabetes. Although it is not clear whether its because of those calories that are consumed in the sugary drinks or whether there is an independent effect. But over the two years, consumption of sugary drinks has actually been declining. And it may be in part related to the things that took place in new york where three want to tax sugary drinks. If i can give you a personal story, i was with my two granddaughters 11 and 12. We spent a week together in new york and every time they were offered a soft drink santa restaurant, they said no, we just want water. There is a cultural change in the u. S. Hopefully, and doctor thank you so much. Now to the growing heroin epidemic. Methadone fails 10 of chronic addicts. But researchers in vancouver say they found a prescription heroin that work is. Allen schauffler is in seattle with more, allen. From. Reporter yeah, john, there was interesting findings released from a study, from crosstown clinic in vancouver and at that clinic for last couple of years theyve been giving heroin users really high grade heroin sometimes three times day as a form of treatment. The concept is harm reduction, the basic idea is if you give the most severely addicted users what their body is craving they will be less likely to turn to street crime or prostitution to obtain street drugs. Thats proven successful in vancouver. A year ago, a number of these addicts were given hydromorphone or dilaudid. The users didnt know who was getting heroin or two god dilaudid. Or hydromorphone works as welt as heroin, keeping people from street crime and reasonably healthy. It is already approved for use, it can be prescribed for pain and can be used for pain in the proper setting. Theres a key difference and thats that its not heroin. So it just doesnt face the regulatory and political challenges that heroin does, when youre talking about treatment for drug users. 90 there are plenty i know there are plenty of people who have opinions. But what do the addicts say . Does it have any impact on them . Well, there was an addict, one of the several users who was at that press conference in vancouver who said yes we need this. Look were dying out here. And when hes talking about here is the streets of vancouver and hastings street on which this clinic sets is a very depressing place and a constant place for hustling for drugs. Main and hastings is also flown as pain and wastings, there is a lot of pain and wasting life this. What the addicts are saying we can use any new tool ohelp out, giving us a better chance of surviving. The opponents dismiss this completely. They say its ridiculous, this is just another way of flushing a human life and giving up on somebody who might benefit from a different kind of treatment. Allen schauffler, thank you very much.

Marina joined me in our studios recently and i asked her when she knew being a performance artist was her calling. I didnt know, i was 14 years old. Whats important to know is for an artist to know which tool is to express his work. For some painting is a tool, working with the sculpture, or writing. For me when i learned i can use my own body and energy of the body to express ideas, i flew i my actual performance is my tool. Let me move a little bit further forward and talk about what you did at moma, the artist is present. Yes. It got an inordinate amount of attention, an amazing amount of attention. I looked at the video again today before i did this interview. How do you come up with the idea . Im not one that works in a studio, i hai hate the studio. You dont get ideas from studio. Not from art studio . You get ideas from life. I do the life. The idea has to come like the highollowgram. Hol hologram in front of you. How did you get the artist is present idea . I was in india, i was thinking about what am i going to do in moma. I stayed in retreat for one month. I remember very quiet place under some mystery you know . I think i have to think simple, we have to go back to simplicity because our life is too complicated. You know technology took everything from us. Lets be simple what about human being looking to each other. And you have human being look at human being. Yeah. People looking at you sitting down look at you. When i said this to creator he said to me, youre totally crazy. Nobody will sit in tront of you this is new york. Then the chair would be empty but it was never empty never. The moment in that performance is when your former lover sits down and you open your eyes and you were surprised by him. Are you surpriseby how it unfolded . 22 Million Viewers its crazy. On youtube. I think about why it happened, so true, so real, nothing prepared. Real life real love store separation, going different separate ways is so much drama there and the public feel this because all of us in our lives have some moments like that. Anybody can sit in a chair and have someone sit across and look at them but you have 22 Million People looking often youtube. You are doing it in moma and people are calling it art and magnificent, why . Very interesting experiment made recently in science. They took the square, like square, and they have original and they have 20 fake paintings and they put only in one line and ask the different people to look at them with the special plugs they put on the brain to see reactions. The people who know art doesnt know art and all kinds of different, the brain react to the original. And the vision zero one of your original works. Why . Because of pistol and bullet because probably they will do it. You lay all these items on the table, pistol other objects. 76 items and one bullet. One pistol. You say they can do whatever they want to to you with those objects. In the beginning they were nice. Very nice. Then what happened . It took six hours to be not nice. They ripped your clothes, they hurt you they cut you. Right. Why do you do that . Im sure people ask the question why would you do this . First of all this was the beginning of performance art, the public is being very critical, that this whole thing is not art, it is completely ridiculous. I wanted to disprove the audience that if i dont do anything and im completely passive and you have these objects on the table to see what they really going to do and i came to conclusion the public would kill you. Thats the really important for me. Youve done others like this, rhythm 10 right when you take a knife and you would try to hit in between your fingers. Yes. But you make a mistake and you cut yourself. Then i repeat again orepeat mistake to put the time, time present, time past with mistake together. But you see this is not about pain. It looks like its about pain to me. But its not at all. Did you ever ask yourself about rituals in ancient cultures . To go through ceremony trfnlings of thtransformation of the body. Fear of pain fear of mortality fear of suffering. Artists are so many ways stages this in painting in writing in stage. Im doing this in the public. Marina, great to see you thank you very much.
