I want to run through a couple of 100 mm f arrange for some ground. Get and those things that people can do unilateral things i promise when i getandi unilateral things i promise when i get and i like unilaterally do the here is the whole waterfront across because i think there is a lot of following things. They are confusion. I have fed several times overpromising at what they can do as that we should be washing our hands, the uk the centre sits to the president. A lot of this requires how many times a day, for how long, northwest. We need to the weekend. In order to stop the spread of the that legislation. Some effect like a calder and there is a chance on virus . I think we should just be wealth tax supported by warren, that friday and another when a feature there are serious questions when it developing in the south bringing reacting the way that we do to try would be constitutional. Lets look more had into parts of england and and prevent flu every year. Which is at environment. Not so much a sensible hand washing, i think after wales. Saturated ground and sliding you have come into contact with spending issue, he wants to here already. Toby looks pretty implement to be Green New Deal which others, before you eat, if you cant u nsettled here already. Toby looks pretty unsettled but hopefully there will remember the last time you washed be sunny spells but it looks pretty your hands, then its a good rule of would ban fracking actual gas. He would ban fracking actual gas. He salary must feel on the chilly side. Thumb to wash hands. I dont think would like to prosecute Oil Executives and phase out nuclear short term, out of concern is people should be obsessive or else power. Like those things that he definitely pretty wintry weather they could actually cause over into thursday. Drying on their hands and even could do through executive order . Here is where he could do some create cuts on their hands what i think sensible handwashing like we do for normal seasonal flu is a good things you unilaterally. The executive branch does control base. Approach. The Us Government has issued travel advisory warnings to he can slow down the issuing several countries, heading into the holiday season, spring break in the permits. He could do a lot in terms us, easter holidays in europe. Should families be reconsidering at the green dl lally. Because whether they fly . I think they President Trump has opened up our plans, and coastal areas. There he should be paying very close attention to what they are giving could probably deliver. 0n fracking, from the National Health authorities. Conditions are changing pretty quickly, i think if you look back a week ago, we did not know you really could see federal pressure there. He could not there were any cases in italy. And entirely without writing into the now, italy is suffering from a legal problems. Here is where he pretty substantial outbreak of could probably do more unilateral coronavirus. So i think staying in matter. Picking up on that touch with what is happening and making decisions as you get closer unilateral thing 50 years of an to your trip would be a good idea, imperial presidency. Nine president s difficult to forecast more than one oi difficult to forecast more than one or two months i way. In europe, the to deliver it when president sanders German Health minister has warned i want to be an imperial president to deliver a socialist agenda . Once hospitals and employers to review their pandemic planning should again infairness to deliver a socialist agenda . Once america do the same . Absolutely. Again in fairness to sanders they are all talking about unilaterally. What is the party do seems to get there are many things that movement to the other. Eight really institutions can do to lower the are all talk about unilateral spread or slow the spread of action. I have been a critic of the disease, we believe. In the event that there is Coronavirus Spreading power my entire life. I think that in communities either in the us or we already have too much or uk or elsewhere. And those things presidency. I think the difference would include ideas like cancelling when you look at sanders on the others is not necessarily he has large social gatherings. That is promising more, but that people seem something that we had officials now regret they did not do early on in to believe him. That this is not the outbreak. In china. We had just a convenient position. That is what is so curious about how people react to both sanders and trump two this is bbc news. Hottest candidates i could not be the headlines at eight social distancing is a term we use the government sets out more far apart. Both parties deal as its response as coronavirus speads across europe. For the first time more strangely authentic. That is not new cases are recorded outside china than within. Term usually attributed tromp. What is authentic is he could be viewed being aware of the distance you are around other people. If you are in as unauthentic. He understands what we have a clear a part plan to the midst of a serious effort to make. We are not recommending these motivates him. With sanders he respond to the outbreak of this things begin today but in the event rarely changes positions. He changes that there is Coronavirus Spread in a community, local listening to disease. Contain, delay, Research Local Health Officials and what they atan rarely changes positions. He changes advise and they would advise things at an almost glacial pace. People and mitigate. We are taking all like what we talked about, those seem to believe that right and he necessary measures to minimise the would be things we turn to to try can accomplish it or not, but this risk to the public. And slow the spread of coronavirus. Ina given in tenerife, 160 british and slow the spread of coronavirus. In a given city or community. Does is the real thing else. Since this holidaymakers are among a thousand is the real thing else. Since this people now confined to their hotel is the real Bernie Sanders. Jonathan the United States have to come like after four guests tested positive. Tu rley is the real Bernie Sanders. Jonathan turley thank you so much forjoining us. Very interesting. Very interesting. We are clear now, we were tested china to use autocratic powers to one reason many of Bernie Sanders fightan china to use autocratic powers to fight an outbreak . I think we should yesterday, for goodness sake, bring supporters is simple, us yesterday, for goodness sake, bring us home. Irelands six nations game learn from china and take things that are feasible here in the united they say he understands us. against italy in dublin in 10 days time has been postponed states and consider them. I think to try to stop the some of the things that happened in and that is a sentence thats used spread of the virus. China would not be feasible or safe he doesnt sound like a typical in the United States. Is like locking down entire large cities and politician. He said grandfather has blocking travel in and out. I dont think it will work in the us but i do think things like cancelling big ca ptu red politician. He said grandfather has captured an entire generation young voters. Events, social gatherings, 0ne one of whom is rachel burnham. Hi considering how to isolate people safely once we were diagnosed with rachel. America is one of the most the disease, china did that, famous capitalist countries. Its certainly hospitalise inpatients not really going to especially i second have to be hostile hospitalise with coronavirus a think so, actually to clarify my miniature Health Care Workers are title i had the co chair of the very well protected. Those are things all countries should be doing, including the us. Thank you democratic socialist american chapter bernie has mdc. We do have very much forjoining us. Really interesting. And important that we the possibility of acting a democratic socialist president. I am start getting practical all behind him. Look at some of the advice because were hearing all claims of rumours and misinformation numbers he is talking about. He on the internet saying to do this or that and it is confusing to know trillions and trillions that he wa nts to trillions and trillions that he what people should be doing wants to spend. Why analysis says 00 08 33,769 2147483051 41 03,186 that it would be 2. 5 times the size 2147483051 41 03,186 4294966103 13 29,430 of personally. There is one piece of advice i saw from the cdc website, one in america, seeing five steps to wash hands, step three, scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer . Harm the happy birthday song from beginning to end twice. 0k we will be in offices soon and eve ryo ne we will be in offices soon and everyone will be singing happy birthday. If you hear that, perhaps you should be washing your hands too. Lets move to politics. Well the democratic debate in South Carolina last night got out of control pretty fast. Within minutes the 6 candidates were yelling, talking over each, flinging personal insults. It wasnt pretty. But it was interesting and even quite clarifying. It was clear that senator Bernie Sanders is viewed as the front runner now, because he got the most attacks. And they seemed to get under his skin. I have opposed authoritarianism all over the world. Of course you have a dictatorship in cuba. What i said is what barack 0bama said, in terms of cuba. That cuba made progress on education. Yes, ithink. Man boos. Really . Literacy programmes are bad . The whole thing got sort of weird when former new york mayor resorted to deflecting criticism coming his way with really bad jokes. Given nobody pays attention to the clock, im surprised they show up, because i would have thought after i get such a good job beating them last week that they would be a little bit afraid to do that. And this was the debate, former Vice President joe biden, once front runner, now on the ropes finally decided to show up at. The fact as. I am not out of time, iam going the fact as. I am not out of time, i am going to talk. Here is the deal cheering the fact of the matter as. A lot of yelling going on. Joining us now is former spokesman for president 0bama, ben labolt. Thank you forjoining us. That that debate clarify things for you . think it did. The thing that has been really surprising to me throughout the campaign is that whilst Bernie Sanders started to emerge as the presumptive frontrunner, at the end of 2019, none of the candidates have treated him like that until last night. Until you finally saw the candidates train theirfire on until you finally saw the candidates train their fire on sanders before they had been focused on the next person in line but i think the candidates are starting to realise that the races coming interview and within the next week, we could have a presumptive nominee. 50 of the delegates will have voted. Joe biden had a better debate last night, arguably, that he has had upton until last night. Did he do enough to keep them in the race . In the top tier or the race at all . He certainly did enough to keep himself in the race. I thought it was a great contrast against Bernie Sanders. I dont think most democrats want to spend the next year with the socialism label on them, certainly the congressional candidates. South carolina could be a very good side forjoe biden, he is leading the polls there but then we flip around just a few days later and have 15 states vote. The percentage of the delegates allocated in those states will determine whether Bernie Sanders continues as the presumptive frontrunner or continues as the presumptive frontrunner 01 we continues as the presumptive frontrunner or we have got a real dogfight that will last over the course of months and i thinkjoe biden is in the best position right 110w biden is in the best position right now to have that fight. He took some attacks to Bernie Sanders last night but also ran as a champion of the 0bama joe but also ran as a champion of the 0bama joe biden record but also ran as a champion of the 0bama joe biden record which is still incredibly popular within the democratic party. Looking at this in history, do the best debaters always end up being the nominee . That is a good question. Im not sure that Michael Dukakis was an incredibly good debater so i think it depends ona good debater so i think it depends on a lot of factors, certainly Michael Bloomberg has a massive i set advertising budget helping him out. There are some strong field operations. I dont think there is anyone factor here but i think one of the reasons joe anyone factor here but i think one of the reasonsjoe biden was selected as Vice President in 2008 is because he is a strong debater in that same debate skill showed up last night. We saw a preprepared zynga form Michael Bloomberg which crashed and fell. As Bernie Sanders aof crashed and fell. As Bernie Sanders a of candidate who relies on jokes 01 a of candidate who relies on jokes or not . Senator sanders has a sense of humour once in awhile. I think one of the deficiencies of his candidate is that he does not use it enough and does not always roll with the punches. When the tube attack came up, the punches. When the tube attack came up, one the punches. When the tube attack came up, one problem he has had is he is really running on one of the european model of democratic socialism. But he gets got in these traps where other candidates are saying he is running on a model we have seen in latin america or cuba 01 have seen in latin america or cuba or russia or china and he does not reflect those attacks, he really just digs in. We are going to talk about that later on in the programme, to get into those definitions because i think a lot of people are confused about it. Before we dismiss him entirely, Michael Bloomberg, the jokes were we dismiss him entirely, Michael Bloomberg, thejokes were really bad, yes, but he did at least have a chance lastly to commit some of his policies, some of the things he has acted in an office. It struck me he came across as perhaps a better debate last night and possibly a better candidate last eight . I think you get. He carved out the lane as chief executive, talking about and suffers the most experienced manager on stage, the someone who managed the response to 9 11 in the larger city in america. He saw the campaign follow that message today with an ad containing the coronavirus and talking about his skills as an experienced manager. The trump administration, you have a big gap between how the cdc career officials are handling the response and the happy talk that the white house is putting out and i think limburg saw an opening there that reflected his debate performance last night Michael Bloomberg. Thank you so much for joining Michael Bloomberg. Thank you so much forjoining us and we will have much more about Bernie Sanders in the second half of this programme. An interesting thing about last nights debate before we move on. It was the first debate whether with a lot of quit Foreign Policy. They talked about coronavirus which Michael Bloomberg brought up but they also shot syria. And the attacks on a live, they talked about china, Foreign Policy has almost been absent but it was interesting watching them get into it last night and that is where someone likejoe biden with his experience has more advantage but Pete Buttigieg did pretty well too. They wish South Carolina and the whole primary coming up happened earlier. The indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has appealed for calm after the third consecutive night of sectarian violence in the capital, delhi. At least 23 people have been killed in the clashes, which began on sunday between protesters both for and against a citizenship law which critics say is anti muslim. Its resulted in the worst violence delhi has seen in decades has centred around muslim majority neighbourhoods with some muslim residents in leaving their homes with bags and belongings, fearing further violence. From dehli, Yogita Limaye reports. A muslim locality that saw some of the worst violence. It was impossible to get inside mustafa bad yesterday. This road was full of mobs of men, armed with sticks, stones and even guns. We stop when we see a stream of people hurriedly crossing our path. These are muslim families. And they are fleeing the hindu dominated areas they live in. They dont feel safe in their own homes anymore. One man tells me, hindu mobs are slaughtering us like goats and chickens. We are shown a mosque that was set on fire. Holy books reduced to ashes. Just outside, a muslim man was stabbed to death. He was the father of these girls. His wife has covered herface in mourning. In the adjoining hindu dominated locality, too, there is fear and anger. A man shows us where he was hit by bullets. This woman tells me petrol bombs were thrown at her home. What used to be just a busy street full of shops has, today, almost become a boundary, between a Hindu Community on one side and a Muslim Community on the other. These religious divides have been deepening in india, ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu Nationalist Party came to power. A citizenship law, passed in december, was the trigger for the riots. It gives amnesty to Illegal Immigrants from three neighbouring countries, except muslims. For months, it polarised opinion. Now, its left the capital burning. Lets take a look at some of the other stories were following today. Germanys top court has overturned a ban on professionally assisted suicide. Lets take a look at some of the other stories assisted dying was legal in the country, until 5 years ago when it became a criminal offence. The law change forced terminally ill people to go to switzerland to end their lives. The court defended the their decision to reinistate assisted suicide saying that if both the patient and doctor were willing the government is not entitled to interfere in such issues. Shocking footage out of the us today. Newly released camera footage shows the moment a 6 Year Old Girl was arrested in florida last year. Kaia rolle threw a tantrum at her school in orlando that involved the six year old kicking and punching staff. By the time the Police Arrived she had settled down. 0fficer Dennis Turner was fired for violating Police Policy that he must confirm with a supervisor before arresting children under 12. Goodness me, that is astonishing. And finally, its a trick as old as parenting itself. Hiding those pesky vegetables inside other foods in order to get the kids to eat them. Weve all been there. And so has ronnyjackson, the white houses former physician. Mrjackson, who famously said that President Trump could live to 200 if he cut down on junk food, says he tried to improve the president s diet by making ice cream less accessible, and by hiding cauliflower in his mash potato. You might remember the singer, duffy. Just over 10 years ago she was on a meteoric rise, winning three brit awards and a grammy for her debut album rockferry, which hit number one in six countries. The singer then released another album and then seemed to disappear from the Music Industry and the public eye. Well, now shes posted this statement on her Instagram Account revealing she was. She says of course i survived. The recovery took time. The singer didnt name her attacker, nor where or when the attack took place. She rose to fame with her single, mercy. Yeah, yeah, yeah i love you but i gotta stay true were joined now by caryl parryjones, shes a bbc radio wales presenter, but also helped discover duffy before she rose to fame. Thanks very much forjoining us. When you saw that instagram post, knowing her as you do, did ed explain the mystery of what happened and we should disappear to . Not really, no. We all know of her amazing rise to fame and her brilliant record, a difficult second album is not something that is unusual in the world of rock music. Because the second album didnt do so well, we thought maybe she was just in the wilderness or maybe had enough of the life she had been reading after the success. But, when this came out, it was. Obviously, horrific and i was very saddened, very shocked. And felt so so sorry for such a lovely girl. You knew her, did fame change her in your experience . From the person you had known and discovered . Experience . From the person you had known and discovered . This was back in 2003, so she would have been 17 at the time, and i was a producer of talent show at the time and we had open auditions but of course we look for talent as well and i saw her on a daytime programme just for talent as well and i saw her on a daytime programmejust talking about her music. And i heard a little snippet of her voice so we asked her to come into one of these additions and we knew straightaway before she opened her mouth that there was Something Special here. She was determined, quirky, funny, grateful, and absolutely determined to make a name for herself. I remember saying at the time, this is amy duffy and she is going to go for. And i had the pleasure of working with her and she was a bsently working with her and she was absently great. She today these vocal acrobatics and sometimes she would not bother learning a song because she thinks she could get away with it. I said people need to hear the tune first she was self deprecating, such great fun and of course about five years later, we heard the name duffy everywhere. I kept seeing her pictures on billboards from paris los angeles and we were thrilled. Everyone was thrilled at her success. and we were thrilled. Everyone was thrilled at her success. I dont know if youve been in the central message or be in contact with her, would you want to convince her to start singing again and release more albums . For sure, definitely. It is heartbreaking what has happened today. If there is some good to come out of it, and i cant even begin to imagine the hell she has been through, she will become a figurehead for this kind of terrible crime. And i know she will help people who maybe dont have the platform of or the confidence to come out as she has bravely done. And so, maybe this will give her, evenif and so, maybe this will give her, even if she does not start singing, im sure we will see a lot of her in the future because im sure she will be of any effective campaigner for abuse like this. Talking about her being a figurehead, were living in a time when people have been able to speak out. We saw that with the Harvey Weinstein trial. Do you think this environment might have made it easierfor her to this environment might have made it easier for her to speak out of it something which clearly happened a long time ago . A lot of people have been discussing it all day today of course. A lot of people are wondering whether the Harvey Weinstein case has made it easier for her to say today rather than yea rs before. For her to say today rather than years before. But this must have been a terrible ordeal for her if it happened a long time ago and its only now she is beginning to talk about it. In that tweet, she says, doesnt she, i cant sing from the heart because my heart is broken. And that is pure amy. I dont think anyone has written that for her. It is sincere, it is from the heart, definitely sounds like a. And maybe this will give her the confidence to start singing again, i really hope so. Thank you so much for sharing your memories of her. Social media is an indispensible tool for any reporter working in 2020. After all, its a great way to connect with audiences that might not be watching news broadcasts on the tv. So, when Justin Hinton was filing a Weather Report on facebook about the snowfall in madison county, it was really just another day at work. Except what justin didnt realise was, he had put on the mystery mask filter. So this is what viewers saw. Unbeknownst to this reporter, the entire report while was done with these adornments rotating over his face. One for the blooper reel. I love that. Should have the news in the democratic debates this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. Coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news a closer look at the frontrunner in the democratic primary contest. What is it about his appeal that has carried him so far and well it be enough to propel him the rest of the way to the white house . And thats still to come. Good evening. A couple of chilly days but most of us have had snowfall confined to higher ground. Through the evening and overnight and onto thursday morning, a risk of snow at lower levels and more widespread as well across wales, into the midlands and Eastern England as this area of low pressure ru ns england as this area of low pressure runs through to the south of the uk. It looks like the cut off line for the now could be mfor further showers to the north, ice could be a risk for almost anywhere we are away from southern counties of england. No greater cause of disruption for thursday morning rush hour across wales and eastern parts of england. Rain sleet and snow tracking out of the east midlands through the morning. The sun comes out behind this weather system as it heads off so lying snow is likely to be quite short lived but could be treacherous first thing on thursday. Further wintry showers to the north west later. A chilly day highs of six or 7 degrees. 0vernight thursday into friday, a ridge of High Pressure, clear skies, light wind, frosty start on friday but another area of low pressure approaches from the atlantic through friday daytime, building in weather fronts, snow as the first at the but it is predominantly rain we are concerned with for friday and saturday. These fronts as we look at them, taking about 30 seconds to clear could give up to 100 millimetres of rain for some of the higher ground. Here is the weather front following on saturday. It will be windy throughout the weekend, we will switch back into colder air and there is a chance on sunday of another well featured developing for the south bringing more heavy rain into parts of england and wales. A lot of saturated ground and flooding here already. The weekend looks pretty unsettled, hopefully there will be some size at some stage but it still looks pretty showery and it will feel on the chilly side. In the short time, i think our concern is d eftly short time, i think our concern is deftly with the wintry weather hit a a thursday morning. This is beyond 100 days with me katty kay in washington, James Reynolds is in london. Coming up this half hour how did a man from modest beginnings end up as the face of progressive politics . Well chart Bernie Sanders life. He calls himself a democratic socialist, but what does that even mean . His rivals are keen to paint him as a communist, but thats not necessarily the case. Bernie sanders has big plans which cost big bucks. But with a divided government, how many of his radical changes could he actually get through . Of course, one group he can rely on for support is his base, theyre fired up and ready to go. Well check in with one of them. Bernie sanders first run at president ial politics took everyone surprise. When he entered the 2016 race it was almost seen as a bit of a joke. The joke was on us. The left leaning, rather grumpy senator from vermont built up a movement of devoted young loyalists, surprising everyone, including himself. Four years later hes this elections frontrunner. So who is 78 year old Bernie Sanders . He was born during world war ii to a jewish family in brooklyn. His entire extended family was killed in the nazi holocaust. Sanders says that history influenced his political views. He went to the university of chicago, arriving in the city at the height of the civil rights movement. He became actively involved in protests. He entered politics 20 years later. In 1981 sanders unseated the five term democratic mayor of burlington, vermont. In 1991, he went to washington as vermonts only congressman. Fifteen years after that he was elected to the senate, where he remains today. Officially hes an independent but he votes with the democrats. But it wasnt until that 2016 race that Bernie Sanders became a household name, the left wing firebrand who, defied the political establishment and gave Hillary Clinton a run for her money. Joining us now isjoyce koh, political video reporter for the washington post. Explain the phenomenon around the world that is Bernie Sanders . Bernie sanders had been in politics for all like the last a0 years starting as vermonts mayor and working his way up vermonts mayor and working his way up through congress and the senate. In large part what im hearing from voters, is a part of his success is the fact that he is notjust voters, is a part of his success is the fact that he is not just a politician. He said that he is a movement. He brings my pants a lot a philosophy then analogies that his supporters back. How does someone who is paid in politics as long as he has not to be part of the political establishment . Is a good question. He has not wavered much sense to early day in politics as burlingtons may have. People i have spoken to in vermont when i was working on a long term profile, looking at his career had said that he came on the scene as a socialist. When he was elected mayor in all of those years ago, it made National News because he was running a socialist. Through his years in congress and the senate, he has remained an outsider to this 2 party system. Remained an outsider to this 2 party syste m. N ow remained an outsider to this 2 party system. Now you see his rise as the president ial candidate in 2020 after a similar rise in 2016 not quite as large of a prize he could say, but certainly a lot simpler care for him. He has been in politics for 40 yea rs him. He has been in politics for 40 years and he has strong views, has he ever changed his mind on anything . This is something i hear from debtors constantly when i ask why Bernie Sanders out of the other candidates that are in the democratic field . Number one answer is that they are most confidence about Bernie Sanders of a candidate because he hasnt wavered. That is something that even his critics cannot puncture. He doesnt waiter his stance on things like income equality, and his battle to fight climate change. Issues like this he has always packed and alis champion of burlington. You see in his years of burlington. You see in his years of congress he hasnt remained an outsider because he is not willing to waver on a lot of issues. As an outsider in congress he has attracted 29 years in congress. What has he achieved practically and back . He has proposed nearly 400 pieces of legislation, but he has only been successful at about seven if that is. That includes a watershed agreement with new hampshire, a couple of veterans fails to support veterans. And the renaming ofa fails to support veterans. And the renaming of a couple of post offices. He had achieved that much legislative play, to his years in congress. Joyce koh thank you so much forjoining us. Joyce koh thank you so much forjoining us. Its worth clarifying what Bernie Sanders is and isnt because not even his rivals get it right. We had not been had tried that other countries type its called, it does and it did not work. Lets talk about the exceptionalism. Lets talk about the exceptionalism. It was a cheap shot yes, because sanders is definitely not a communist. He calls himself a democratic socialist, a system that puts government in control of the economy to meet workers needs. They believe democracy and socialism go hand in hand. Democratic socialist countries include china, vietnam and cuba. But its confusing because sanders policies are actually more in line with the social democracies of northern europe. Social democrats want to keep the fundamentals of capitalism but restrain its excesses. They believe in strong government welfare but with free economic choice. Countries that are social democracies include norway, denmark, sweden and finland. In a sign of how unclear this is, last night, Pete Buttigieg accused sanders of going further than denmark. He and i both like to talk about denmark, for example. But even in denmark, they have not abolished the possibility of private insurance. So, this is an idea that goes further than what is acceptable in denmark, the country, let alone imagining how that will fly in denmark, South Carolina. For more we can cross now to helsinki where we are joined by anu partanen, author of the nordic theory of everything. She get that both systems into comparison because she has lived in the and finland. Thank you for joining us. I want to ask you what you what you make up what is happening here with Bernie Sanders and his rise. In this discussion exceptionalism may be due last. I have been a bit conventional wisdom that socialism was a nonstarter in this country could state some ten yea rs this country could state some ten years ago and now i am living in finland. At the time when i moved into the United States of the really know that much at the nordic countries. People werent really interested as they say they are of socialism is online. People fell it around, what do people mean . Certainly a present go with what we think that you access. By designating prepositional policies that nordic countries couldnt work in the United States. Did policies that exist in franklin hamper or help capitalism do you think i think that they help capitalism. That is i think i met these countries are free market oriented. There are more countries invested in global trade, and people had just as much interest like americans do, to that latest consumer products, and a lot of innovative countries businesses and the nordic countries. The essential services that they had created, mostly government provided services, but everything needs like daycare or health care or college education, does that just to health care or college education, does thatjust to get people to the basics that they be glad. Today and be able to have good jobs, and education that they need, pay support business and capitalism. Education that they need, pay support business and capitalismm is Bernie Sanders essentially nordic politician camouflaged and despised asa politician camouflaged and despised as a graft guy from brooklyn and . Politician camouflaged and despised as a graft guy from brooklyn and7m many ways he is. Its funny i think a lot of nordic people. Bernie sanders is composing proposing. The College Tuition free or of course everyone should have invited universal health care, to us that is not radical or strange. It makes sense. In the us it is considered x extremely manacled or extremely left. He calls himself a socialist and makes people think that he is even more of a radical. You have talked and written a lot of how it is great to live and then played a pa rt is great to live and then played a part for long winter. What is the downside leading back . The long winter is a downside for sure. But one thing i miss about that us is the way americans are just socially. The people are open and talkative, and social situation so wonderful. Here you have to accept that people area here you have to accept that people are a little more reserved and what experience in america. There is something that drove you back from the United States to send lead. Something you werent going to get america . I really enjoyed living in america, i had a big extended american family, a lot of friends, i left my neighbourhood. I was wonderful. I think about the United States today is that it makes a life very ha rd states today is that it makes a life very hard for families. Even states today is that it makes a life very hard forfamilies. Even if states today is that it makes a life very hard for families. Even if you areafamily very hard for families. Even if you are a family with good education, and a good job, it is still hard to provide for yourfamily and a good job, it is still hard to provide for your family and make a career and family at work. Say you have short enough workdays, a Work Life Balance and you can pay for daycare, i bet you can arrange for health care. For all of those reasons, indiana ns after health care. For all of those reasons, indianans after having a child in the United States, and pat finland will allow us to have a better quality of life. When you look at the us do you think that Bernie Sanders in 2020 can get elected president s . Ifi did that, i dont know i dont have the answer to that. I see, and the reason i brought my book is that i saw that people were interested, a lot of americans like change. A lot of americans like change. A lot of americans are interested in the solutions that Bernie Sanders is offering. Theyre suddenly a chance, but well see how it turns out. Anu partanen, thank you so much for joining us. The author of the nordic theory of everything. Thank you. This debate about socialism in this country. From what i understand on the other side they elected socialism is almost a bad word. An insult or a curse, i think they can face and of the figures. If you look on your screen now. In theory ever since i have been here i have gone along election campaigns and politicians one after have to be at where especially if it isa have to be at where especially if it is a terrible thing. You can see that and be opinion polls excel and be opinion polls if someone calls himself a socialist i dont have a help getting elected. It is more nuanced than that. What looking at what americans want to do for the event they want increasing in public spending. 72 of americans won an increase in spending on education. Health care issues, the majority of people want more money spent. People did not like at the label specialist. I did not like that may bear a specialist. I did not like that may beara in some specialist. I did not like that may bear a in some ways american is an entrepreneurial country. They want that. In a way you look finish model only look at that nordic model and you look at what americans want to do for then and maybe there a marriage there. Fascinating way of looking at that.
