Hes now effectively in a two person race with Bernie Sanders touched my face i am going to die who is projected to have won california. Mike bloomberg has already left the race Elizabeth Warren is assessing her path forward. There will be no more super tuesdays hello and welcome but we might be shaping im katty kay with Christian Fraser in washington. Up for march madness. American politics has rarely moved as fast as it has we have got 6 votes on march 10. In the past couple of days. Moved as fast as it has the key one is michigan today former new york mayor Mike Bloomberg pulled out a swing state, 125 delegates. Of the democratic race for the presidency promising to throw his support, that is going to test and his money behind joe biden. The candidates appeal it was a Rapid Response to an among suburban voters. Astonishing night of primary votes. Three months ago, i entered the race then march 17 4 big states. To defeat donald trump. Today, im leaving together florida, arizona, for the same reason. Illinois and ohio defeating trump starts with uniting 577 delegates up for grabs. Behind the candidate with the best shot to do it. Its clear that is my friend and a great american, a lot of focus will be on Bernie Joe Biden. Sanders. In the last few minutes, he the former Vice President is now has been talk about what he is going to be doing, he will move forward in a two person race neck and neck with joe to be doing, he will move forward neck and neck withjoe biden. Everyone is working against him. With senator Bernie Sanders after a remarkable comeback on super tuesday. He won 9 states including texas. There has never been a campaign in Bernie Sanders got 3 with alot of delegates recent history which has taken on but he didnt get momentum. The entire political establishment, only American Samoa went for bloomberg. So what happens next . And that is an establishment which heres how the two candidates is working frantically to try and defeat us. Assessed their fortunes. Were joined by democratic strategist stacy kerr iam here who spent nearly a decade i am here to report that we are very as a senior aide to speaker much alive and make no mistake of the house nancy pelosi. About it, this campaign that will thank you forjoining us. Lets talk send donald trump packing. We are about Bernie Sanders, because there he is, saying that is the establishment going against him, joe not only taking on the corporate establishment, we are taking on the biden is the one with corporations political establishment. But we are interest, he is Cutting Health care benefits, is that the Bernie Sanderss outsider message still going to win because the people resonating today . If feels like he understand it is our campaign, our ran that back in 2016. Is it the right message for today . I think movement which is best positioned to defeat donald trump. March madness indeed, and i think what we saw yesterday was a failure if you want turning points in this dramatic political narrative two moments in the past few days stand out. By the Sanders Campaign about Bernie Joe Biden owes a lot sanders to grow his coalition. We to congressmanjim clyburn of South Carolina who endorsed him ahead of the states saw him underperform in places where primary on saturday. The civil rights leader led, he did well in 2016, four years ago, and African Americans followed if theres a kingmaker we sawjoe biden beat him definitively in places where he did from super tuesday its this man. Well four years ago. I think it is a ha rd well four years ago. I think it is a hard argument for the Bernie Sanders we used to spend a lot of time doing and his supporters to make after such a decisive and big victory for television stuff together. We got to joe biden last night. But he has a know each other. I knowjoe. We know point that the establishment of the Democratic Party is terrified of a joe. But most importantly, joe knows Bernie Sanders candidacy. Even year former boss, nancy pelosi, might be nervous about him. I suspect she us. Feels privately, nervous about for Bernie Sanders the counter moment to that may have Bernie Sanders at the top of the ticket. He is picking up on been last weeks debate when he offered praise to former something real, isnt the . cuban leader fidel castro it didnt go down well in the debate hall. Ticket. He is picking up on something real, isnt the . I feel like people like nancy pelosi and Party Readers know they have a very they made progress on education. Strong records for democrats to run on against donald trump. No matter yes, i think, they made progress on education. Who the candidate is. I think for yes, ithink, really . Bernie sanders to continue to rail at that moment democrats worried against the establishment, he is that sanders position on cuba could lose them florida. Going to have to prove that in the so is biden now on track to rebuild polls very quickly. It is hard to the succesful Obama Coalition and win the nomination . Stephanie cutter was Barack Obamas Deputy Campaign manager in the 2012 race. Argue that this was just an establishment when when you have record numbers of voters coming out, as we saw yesterday, in places shejoins us now. Thank you she joins us now. Thank you for around the country, when you have joining the programme. Joe biden is joe biden winning so definitively not barack joining the programme. Joe biden is not ba rack Obama Joining the programme. Joe biden is not barack obama but when you look and decisively among black voters, at the people who voted forjoe biden, is the starting to look to when you have folks coming out to you a little like a winning formula . Vote who didnt see, perhaps the absolutely. I feel thejoe home. Stayed at home. Bernie you a little like a winning formula . Absolutely. Ifeel thejoe biden is pulling together a Democratic Coalition and as part of that, even sanders continues to make this argument but he has to prove it pulling in some independent voters. At every level. If you look at the quickly. I had one democratic turn from last night and super establishment strategists say that tuesday, he exceeded 2016 levels but their art establishment strategists say that theirart he also won many states, excluding establishment strategists say that their art churches that hunt down teddy make including teddy heretics, but this is a serious issue for the democrats because what Bernie Sanders represents is a great there is energy but if he had this number of people who think the status quo is not working for them conversation just after new and they would be silly to ignore hampshire, it looked like his that. Absolutely, and i think what campaign was all but over. He has you will see is democrats very not been a particularly strong candidate. Theres no guarantee Going Forward that he is going to emerge into this fantastic candidate actively acknowledging that and looking for strategies into how and keep this momentum going, is windows voters in 2020 and defeat there . There is not. For sure. Just donald trump, which is everybodys a few days ago who will been having top priority. I think you will even this conversation. South carolina was the turning point and she said see the frontrunnerjoe biden early in the endorsement ofjoe Campaign Talk about that and, yes, biden ahead of South Carolina really did makea biden ahead of South Carolina really Bernie Sanders makes a point and i did make a significant difference in giving people permission to vote for joe biden and his words at the end, think folks are very wise to listen i knowjoe biden, you knowjoe biden to that, i think Bernie Sanders also but more importantly, he knows us has a responsibility and so do his really resonated with people. And supporters if the numbers are not its an amount trajectory and that there, to come together and help do that in a unified way, not any employing people, his opponents in the race together for their decisive way. Divisive way. Endorsement on the eve of super tuesday really propelled him. A lot that in a unified way, not any decisive way. Divisive way. Thank you very much. I was texting this of the votes that he got yesterday we re of the votes that he got yesterday were late deciding voters. Which shows that he has the momentum going morning to a Senior Adviser tojoe biden and they said they did not into the day. Momentum is so anticipate the extent of his victory unbelievably critical in president ial races. As much money as over night. I guy who had been in you have, switch for ground and you have, you have to have the momentum politics for 30 years said that he at the end of thousand joe biden had never seen what he had seen nor the last 72 hours. We were waiting has. Since were talking about money. For the results from our overnight we can talk about Mike Bloomberg. Never has a president ial candidate show, people were queueing for three hours to register their vote. That spent so much for so little. I think may be because some of the energy, he couldve bought American Samoa with the money that he spent. But it but surely there is some question about how people are voting because does have an Important Role to play mark there are also democrats 110w. Raising questions today to see does have an Important Role to play now. He does. Absolutely. And i give whether there is a deliberate effort we re whether there is a deliberate effort were a lot of young voters are at Mike Bloomberg credit. He got into the race because he wanted to defeat African American voters and hispanic donald trump. He got out of the race voters, is a deliberate effort to because he wanted to defeat donald trump. He knew by staying in the make those processes work slowly to try and suppress the vote . The issue race, he was impacting joe bidens with Voter Suppression in this ability to lock up the nomination and he committed to coming out that country is real, people feel they he was going to Supportjoe Biden cannot vote. It is absurd that and do what he can to bring him over people would spend three to seven hours ina the finish line but also give people would spend three to seven hours in a queue to vote. That is ridiculous i do have to ask why this democrats over the finish line in november. He asari made a commitment isnt working any better. Let us to putting a lot of money into the return to the coronavirus. States and building a ground game for general election. And really target those members of the the chief executives of Major Us Airlines have been Democratic Coalition the need to meeting President Trump turn on. At the end of the day, this and Vice President mike pence isa turn on. At the end of the day, this at the white house today to discuss is a turnout game and bloomberg will the impact of the coronavirus be critical there. You have had on their industry. Us carriers have been especially hard hit. Experience running a successful the Us Travel Association now predicts international campaign. If you are now in that travel to america position trying to getjoe biden to will drop 6 over become the next president of the United States today, just after super tuesday, but would you be the next three months. Watching out for . Would you be worried about . But what i be worried about . Bernie sanders. He does not have this locked up right now. We President Trump insisted today that flying is safe. Anyway these people have this locked up right now. We have another contest happening on tuesday, michigan, a really delicate are flying in to fly, a large portion of the world it is safe to state. And he won over in 2016. It fly. We do know what is the world it is unclear what is going to happen is safe to fly. We do not want to there this time, butjoe biden still see anything other than that and we have closed down certain sections of has some hurdles to get over. Hes the world and they have got to get to 1991 delegates and automatically closed them as well. They understand it better than theres a long way to go there. He perhaps any body. Yes, it is safe. Also has to build those coalitions roger dow is the ceo with Bernie Sanders voters. The of the Us Travel Association. Youth turnout, young people, 25 and how much impact are you seeing directly from the coronavirus on below last night was down significantly and not just from travel from american carriers . The below last night was down significantly and notjust from 2008 levels, which were at a record high, numbers that you just book about are but also in 2016 levels we need to down 6 and that is what we are figure out why. They lost interest looking at Going Forward. That said, in Bernie Sanders but theyre not interested in joe biden. In Bernie Sanders but theyre not interested injoe biden. If you want i think it is much biggerfor the to win in november, we have to win travel industry and the us economy. Those voters will stop we have to we have got to turn it around or it get them to come below. List the kinds of things that will be will be a major problem. Nobody is thinking about. How to get over thinking this is going to turn those hurdles in the past primaries, how do we pull Bernie Sanders voters around anytime very soon, so what are you looking at . Months of over and i would continue to build downton . We are looking at in china the coalition another thing i would think about is joe the coalition another thing i would think about isjoe biden is that it is best over the past five to seven the numbers are going down significantly. The first few weeks days. Coming out of nevada and if thatjoe biden, thatjoe biden has they had 5000, the next few weeks to stick around and continue being 68,000, then in the last few weeks the underdog. He cannot get 7000. They are opening for business, co mforta ble the underdog. He cannot get comfortable in this race again. Until that nomination is locked up starbucks, 60 of hotels, so there and until election day november will be a similar cycle around the happens, he has to run like an world. This is really a three and a half month phenomenal. What does underdog. Thank you very much that mean for people both myjobs indeed. Thejoe and incomes . Is a big problem for underdog. Thank you very much indeed. The joe biden underdog. Thank you very much indeed. Thejoe biden we saw last night, the consistency. Consistency was myjobs, especially. When injoe biden people do not travel it affects the night, the consistency. Consistency in joe biden is night, the consistency. Consistency injoe biden is not something that whole economy and the people hurt often goes together. That is ten other people at the bottom rung of states out of 1a that he took on the employment area. The people we super tuesday and it is the most knew the job is the most. The employment area. The people we knew thejob is the most. We the employment area. The people we knew the job is the most. We should extraordinary comeback. The most really be thinking about those extraordinary comeback. The most people because they are the first that will be let go and it is so extraordinary comeback. The most important to the economy that we get extraordinary comeback. Security for these people working. What was the the two front runners not because we saw something last night which was pretty ugly, actually. There isjoe message today to be president and biden on the stage with his wife Vice President . What are you looking for as Vice President . What are you looking jilland biden on the stage with his wife jill and his sister and a couple of foras an Vice President . What are you looking for as an industry . It is very protesters got up behind them and simple, to keep doing exactly what you can see from their faces, they are doing. The cdc are particularly the sister, just as scary that moment was. This is a reporting no restrictions against flying anywhere in the United States former Vice President and theyre and travelling. Keep that message up and travelling. Keep that message up going to need better security. It is and the more we can tell people, listen to the experts, not to river. The secret Service Decision in which a president ial candidate is deemed this the experts and go about your to be at risk. They will make that business as usual. Thank you very decision if perhaps that will help them make that decision. Joe biden only had security for six months much. After leaving office as Vice President , only president s get if you take 3 million chinese that permanent security. But when you get the states every year, you take that this kind of pictures, it will be something that the secret service. I equation, that is going to hurt. You are seeing it over europe, they are was curious as to how close you can get. No security was like no not good to be there and it will make a big difference. As roger was security in your said to be worried saying, people at the bottom of the that somebodys carrying a weapon. Food chain will fuel the route real hit of this. Fuel. You dont have any kind of screening. So there will be discussions now about his security. Let us move on to the coronavirus. At least 2a people are dead after two powerful tonadoes ripped through central tennessee on tuesday. In nashville, the states largest italy has closed schools city, the tornadoes caused and universities until mid march widespread damage to peoples homes to try to stem the spread and other buildings. Of the coronavirus. The storm hit after midnight five hundred more cases have been and moved quickly, diagnosed and 28 more people have so many people didnt have time died from the virus in the past to seek shelter. Twenty four hours 22 people remain missing and the rescue efforts continue. Bringing the total number East Nashville was one of deaths in italy to 107 the highest number outside china. Of the areas badly hit, the government is now advising and well go there now to talk italians not to greet each to pamela cole and leigh maples, other with kisses and to stand a meter away from other people. The owners of the legendary mark lowen sent us fannys house of music. This report from rome. You got the message at this time it an early easter break for those was coming late at night. What did across italy. Every school and you do . I was watching tv because it university will now close in a bid to halt the virus. Europes worst started raining and storming and we hit country stepping up its response. It is a problem because if had mentioned they might have some to stop the exams, we have to stop bad storms, i was nervous, so i the activities in the classroom and watch tv and they mentioned a maybe we can do something from home. Tornado was on the ground and going but it is not the same. Parents and through downtown. It was heading towards East Nashville and then went children are taking in the news. For through East Nashville. I woke up some, the disruption is appraised with pain. It is not a question of her, i contacted the landlord and panicking but taking the necessary measures to avoid the virus spread askedif her, i contacted the landlord and asked if he was ok, he said he was trapped but he was ok he was right out. Her nineyearold says they are across the street from us. He said happy because that means no studying and no homework. Italy was the first he was ok but trapped and i asked in europe to ban all flights to about the business, and he said it china, the first record in awful was still there. So we ticked off, towns and another for us to close we sat on the porch all night to all schools in dramatic response with deepening crisis and perhaps an example of how other countries to protect the building and contents. May respond if their outbreaks continue to worsen. As cases and we are looking at the picture know of the devastation to your store. Deaths rise, more towns in the north all around you it looks like other may be quarantined. Cinemas and theatres may close and the buildings were hit as well. What did government has even said to advice you find with your neighbours and other businesses when you got there italians not to greet by kissing. So because mark . Many of the homes are how many rooms are occupied. Empty, empty. Coronavirus fear is bettering without roofs. You could not get into the area. We had to park away the economy and they said that the event 90 cancellations and it is from the store and walk in. The biggest crisis and is 35 years. And if the situation gets worse . Carolines, wires, everywhere. Phone italy is now facing an unprecedented challenge and a desperate search for lines. Debris on the ground. We were a remedy for the virus and for this country possible suffering. Confident somewhat that our immediate neighbours were alive, across the street in particular it was pretty devastating. Shocking there are so many popular events pictures. Do you normally get that are being cancelled around the tornadoes in march . No. Iwould world, not least the premiere of the new james bond film. World, not least the premiere of the newjames bond film. So if you got pictures. Do you normally get tornadoes in march . No. I would not think that this is tornado season at tickets to any of those events, you all. Ifrom illinois originally and might want to start thinking about a refund. Youve got the six nations we have what alternatives there but rugby match between ireland and italy that has been postponed this is not spring yet. It is perhaps until october at the rodent 01 perhaps until october at the rodent or athletics is been pushed back 12 another few months before we start seeing tornadoes, so i am not sure months. The chinese grand prix be held later in the year and this the whether one was in 1998 and what big one which is the olympics do to month it was, but this one followed be held in tokyo later in the year. It is still on for now but a similar path. We did not live in discussions are ongoing. Cultural East Nashville at the time but the people that dont live here are events of also been hit, the london seeing that this is much worse than book fair is off, tokyos Cherry Blossom festival is off and it will 1998. But the community is coming be live streamed and weve just heard them tied to this. Together. We are so grateful for you together. We are so grateful for you to come and talk to ours. We are glad to see you are both safe, thank blossom festival cancelled, and the Shanghai Fashion you. They are saying that the week will now be live streamed online. The Economic Impact is already being felt. Today lawmakers here agreed an eight billion dollar weather has seemed to have changed response to the crisis. Since they got there, it is usually but theres also fears about how made in the year that we get these. Developing and emerging economies might cope. To that end, the international this is beyond one hundred days. Monetary fund and world bank have still to come pledged over 60 billion dollars to help. Last night, i sat down with the head of the imf, kristalina georgieva. We are going to be talking about the how concerned how concerned are how concerned are you about the Economic Impact of the virus . We are return of legendary spitting image. Very concerned. We have seen just in one short week the spread of the virus beyond china, creating a new more now on the coronavirus outbreak and the impact it could have on upcoming events. Today, the london book fair, which was due to take place next week, has been cancelled. Momentum and unfortunately, what we we re momentum and unfortunately, what we but the dog show crufts, were projecting as possible, more which starts tomorrow, is still going ahead as planned. As sian lloyd reports. Adverse scenarios for the economy is the show will go on for these dogs now materialising. We know more about the virus. That it is and their owners. Crofts, the biggest annual event in the dogs spreading more easily, but theres cargo, will start as planned also a lot that we still do not tomorrow. With dogs across the world know. We do not know of the longevity of this virus. We do not know how fast treatment will become from the world competing, extra available. And that is a source of precautions are being taken. We have got extra hand wash through the holes, we know that people we are uncertainty to make economic promoting the government advice. Projections. Is it time for coordinated central bank action, we catch it, bin it, kill it. The have seen the Federal Reserve lower rates, is that what is needed . What london book fair that has attracted is needed is action on three fronts. Thousands of visitors has been called off a week before it was due 0ne, is needed is action on three fronts. One, to make sure that there is to begin. The decision was taken a liquidity in the system. In other words, that the economy does not get after Global Publishers pulled out. Planning events is at the heart of stuck because it is not flowing. And many peoples business, with the thatis stuck because it is not flowing. And that is the responsibility of peak wedding season round the central banks. Two, to concentrate corner, there is a big question on no regrets fiscal measures. Fund about what impact the coronavirus guitar. This hotel has hosted the Health System so we can take weddings for 20 years and is ca re of the Health System so we can take preparing for another this weekend. Care of people. And three, we do not want to worry anybody International Institutions like the imf, the world bank and others, to about anything, so we are just going along as normal and watching all the come together and make resources guidelines with the government and doing the best we can. It is available to countries in need. We have built over the last ten years, business as usual here, no sense of panic. The government have no mood sound fundamentals, so our economies coronavirus in notifiable disease, we should make it easier for perform in a more productive manner. Businesses to get compensation. Are you concerned that emerging economies and countries may be less able to cope with this virus and are getting less attention and that they need more support . If theyre getting a lot of attention on the world bank. We are really concentrated on identifying countries that are at risk because celebrities, politicians take cover. Of either their Health Systems are the puppet show, spitting image, which has been off our wea k of either their Health Systems are weak or in sub Saharan Africa in screens for some 2a years, is making a comeback. A new series will air this autumn on britbox in the uk. Particular, countries, especially boris johnson, his chief countries that are affected by adviser dominic cummings, us president donald trump, beyonce and the duke of york will all feature. Conflicts and our fragile states. The fund did lower its growth forecasts and as you say, the i wonder what he knows what he is in situation is moving fast, you be lowering the growth .

It had incredible success when it do is make sure that the outbreak is first aired in 1984, by all accounts Margaret Thatcher loved it, since it portrayed her as the best man in the cabinet. Headed, we are to know where it is all headed. This is not the time for and, at its peak, 15 Million Viewers were watching. We have been talking louise gold, who played the queen austerity, Health Systems should get in the original series, everything they need which as well as nancy regan and princess diana, we asked whether the times we live in simply demanded the return tomorrow, well have a special of spitting image. Programme explaining everything you need it demands something. I would like to know about coronavirus. And wed like to answer some of your questions, whether on the risks of contracting to think it is the coming bout of it, whether you should take an upcoming holiday or how you should behave in a working environment. Spitting image that will destroy all send us your questions via twitter of our governments. That is my hope. Or other social media iam not of our governments. That is my hope.

Thats this thursday at 1630gmt, decimation of the politics as it is no. What was it like working on the here on bbc world news. Original spitting image and following the news cycle . It was a lwa ys following the news cycle . It was always very chaotic and i actually remember one show that was so tight on going out that they were editing the second half of the show well be first half was going out because we we re first half was going out because we were always trying to keep it topical. 0n the sunday we would be putting on a last minute sketches about things that were topical. It was always a nightmare to try and keep it absolutely up to date and it was really ha rd keep it absolutely up to date and it was really hard work and our producer, who started off looking the prime ministers pledged this ongoing support. Every confidence in very freshfaced and young, by the end he looked about 70 years old and her and if there are allegations, it should go into a home because he was is read that they should be properly being so overworked and stressed. Investigated by the Cabinet Office and that is what is happening. Let you played a whole cast of us and that is what is happening. Let us start our political characters from the past, if you are correspondent. It is becoming pa rt characters from the past, if you are part of the new series who would you intensely political this because of like to play today . I played the course there is real tension between the government and the Civil Service queen originally and we were very of the moment. Yes, there has been that element of things. The fond of the spitting image queen, secretary of the home office with she was quite a harrowing. The queen is still going strong so i would his resignation on saturday, love for her to come back and see alleging some of those bullying claims against pretty patel saying how she copes with everything today, that she is categorically denied pro woman those allegations against her. How she copes with everything today, prowoman dishy like the first priti patel. Borisjohnson support series . Did she . For priti patel is very full throated saying that he was absolutely sticking by her and the prowoman dishy like the first house of commons and priti patel is series . Did she . I auditioned for something when Prince Edward was working for Andrew Lloyd Webber and an interesting character because she he was greeting people at the has been seen as some to ruffle feathers, described as feisty auditions and asked what i was doing, and according to one conservative mp and auditions and asked what i was doing, and i said i was working on spitting image. He asked who i is pretty popular with the played and i told him it was his grassroots conservative party. Not to mention a number of voters who mother. He was very sweet and said he never watched it but hoped it was enjoy her tough law and order very good. Herod it was very approach. These allegations are being treated by some as being very serious, a Cabinet Office good. I believe you have the queen investigation is under way. The labour saying that the cabinet with you . Yes, i am ready for my 0ffice labour saying that the Cabinet Office is saying that it is no good, essentially the they want to see an interview why i do not you in the independent lawyer look into the studio .

Kris denied killing deals i think we were in trouble anyone and since it is all turkish propaganda. But theres no doubt with the queen talking of. Well, that the turkish authorities are cynically bringing desperate people up cynically bringing desperate people up to the border, to ramp up the pressure on europe. 0n new york roti. Royalty. Up to the border, to ramp up the pressure on europe. On this bus full of migrants. Where you guys from . Mike bloomberg decided to take you are from afghanistan. From a unorthodox approach to the democratic primary he waited until super tuesday and played all his cards. Syria. Data spread these from he is now walking away essentially empty handed istanbul to go to the border . This ending his campaign. He says he lauched the bid to defeat donald trump has official approval in the police the president responded on twitter. Are not too keen for it to be filled.
