The latest poll shows cruz leading trump by ten points, but cruz picked up victories in colorado. He won the first six delegates. They were chosen in a week long Selection Process. In north dakota, the cruz team claims it did well for the convention for cleveland. Today, though, all about wisconsin where cruz win could alter momentum of the republican race. Cnns Sunlen Serfaty has more from green bay. Reporter good morning, christine and john.

The Cruz Campaign manager declaring an all hands on deck in the final 24 hours before voting starts in wisconsin tomorrow. Cruz for his part, the senator has been projecting confidence.

Saying it will be a Decision Point resonating across the country beyond here in wisconsin. The senator seemed to get reflective on the state of the race and all that has transpired. This has been quite the election cycle. Hadnt been boring. There were all sorts of things a year ago someone said you would see. Reporter and theres a notable strategy shift in wisconsin for the Cruz Campaign. Out with the first negative tv ad for john kasich. This is something they have been calling him a spoiler. This suggests some concern on their level about what role he might play tomorrow night. Christine and john. Sunlen, thank you. The stakes are high for donald trump in wisconsin. Losing there would make it harder for him to clinch the nomination before the republican convention. He is predicting he will win a state. In a rally last night, he talked about the man beating him in the polls. Lying ted cruz, he comes in bible high. Im lying ted cruz, i put the bible down and i start to lie. Hes a dirty rotten on cheat. Like cruz, trump took aim at john kasich. Cnns Jeremy Diamond was there. Reporter good morning, john and christine. With 48 hours until wisconsin, donald trump stumping in wisconsin. He was of course hitting issues on the campaign trail. He devoted a bit of time to hitting Ohio Governor john kasich. That is unusual for donald trump as far as stumping in wisconsin. He is focused the brunt of his fire on senator cruz. Last night, donald trump talking about john kasich. Calling him a nasty guy. With kasich, it will be harder for him to reach the 1,237 delegate threshold before the convention. Kasich is now 1 for 30. 1 for 30 or 1 for 29 . He is 1 for 30. It is good if he gets out. I dont want him in. Reporter all this comes as the delegate fight across the country is coming into focus. With donald trump acknowledging putting a team in place to really bring the delegates into the fold and get delegates he needs in case this goes to an open convention. Donald trump now lagging in the polls in wisconsin hoping to make up ground. Hell stump all day today and hoping to make up that ground. John and christine. Thanks, jeremy. The head of the Republican Party says that trump backing out of his pledge to support the partys eventual nominee could hurt him with delegates. The chairman Reince Priebus says this could make it harder to quote get people to fall in line for him. Chairman priebus says if there is a contested convention, he doesnt believe the convention will pick a candidate who did not run in the primary. Someone like House Speaker paul ryan. If anything like that were to happen, which is highly unlikely, i think our candidate is someone who is running. Thats obvious. Number two, if Something Like that were remotely possible, that candidate would actually have to have a floor operation and Actual Campaign going on with the delegates to make Something Like that possible. Pauls not going to do that. All right. On the democratic side, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders locked in debate over their next debate. Both of them campaigning over the weekend in wisconsin where sanders holds an edge in the latest polls. They are looking ahead to the next big prize. New york. Clinton campaigns in the state today. April 19th primary in new york marks the nearing deadline for that next debate. Cnns chris frates has details. Reporter good morning. The dispute over when Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders debate in new york exploded on the campaign trail this weekend with the sanders and clinton camps trading barbs over who was to blame. It started saturday when the Clinton Campaign offered the Sanders Campaign three dates. April 4th, 14th and 15th. All to be rejected. The Sanders Campaign offering that the 4th was terrible with the ncaa tournament finals. Nobody would Pay Attention to politics. Not to mention the big primary is the next day. On the 15th, they did not like the idea doing a morning debate on the networks. That left the 14th. Sanders telling cnn that he has a big rally planned and the Sanders Campaign countering with four or five dates of their own. No word from the Clinton Campaign. Take a listen to how Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton talked about these debates. Im confident there will be. Im not the one negotiating it. This is going on between campaigns. I know my campaign has been really trying to get a time that senator sanders would agree with. I think we need to look at the maximum viewing audience. Anytime and any venue that works that has that viewing audience will be good. Were looking at a lot of options right now. I think at the end of the day, george, we will have a time and place that will be, i suspect, a very spirited debate. Reporter so both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton want to debate. Sanders Campaign Manager jeff weaver told me he believes this dispute will be settled fairly soon. Its a very big and important thing for Bernie Sanders. He is expected to do well tomorrow in wisconsin. He needs delegates and move to new york and upset Hillary Clinton in her adopted home state. There are about 250 delegates at stake in new york. Second to california. Bernie sanders looking for the upset there. When this debate is and where it airs is a big deal. We will continue to watch that as Bernie Sanders continues to try to close the gap on Hillary Clinton. John and christine. Chris, thanks for that.

You can see behind me. That is train number 89 on the palmetto route from new york to savannah, georgia. 341 passengers on board. 35 of the passengers injured when the collision happened. None of them has life threatening injuries. You can see the force of that impact just by looking at the front engine car. You can see it actually derailed from the track. On sunday, amtrak was able to bring back limited service on this northeast corridor which is good news for people in their monday morning commute. 750,000 people ride the northeast corridor every day between boston and washington, d. C. On sunday morning, around 8 00 a. M. , this was a frightening experience for many passengers. One telling cnn he could tell something was wrong before the crash happened. Outside the window, they could see a cloud of dust. It felt like they were riding on gravel. Another passenger, 15yearold Linton Holmes talked about his experience. The train was like rumbling and we got off track, i guess. Then it was just a bunch of dust. Dust everywhere. The train conductors were running to the front. People were bloody from it because it was an explosion. We got off track and a big explosion. Then it was a fire. Then windows busted out. Some people were cut up.

Reporter so, christine, what you can see behind me is the second of three boats to pull in here to the turkish town of dikili. We are told 202 in total. Mostly from pakistan and afghanis as well. This is the first batch of the returns. The reason for the policy which has been enacted, the eu says from necessity. European countries have closed their borders and created a backlog in greece with tens of thousands of migrants stranded in camps. That number growing by the day. They negotiated the deal with turk turkey. They will have to agree to come back on their own if they dont apply for protection in greece. The rest, according to the eu, will be allowed to stay. What we will see every day is boats like this arriving in turkey and unloading these people. There arent many syrians aboard here, but the expectation that is to change in the coming days and weeks. For every syrian returned to turkey here, they will take one syrian directly from the refugee camps that line the border. Mostly in the south of the country. Up to around 72,000. It is a controversy deal. The critics say this is the European Union abdicating their responsibility to help them. They are being sent to a country which is not prepared to give them the hope and protection. That said, turkey is a country that already has around 2. 7 million syrians living here.

More than 50,000 men, women and children stuck in greece. Lets get the latest from cnns phil black. He joins us live from turkey this morning. Give us a sense of whats happening, phil. Reporter john, you see one of the vessels behind me. The second of three vessels to pull in here and unload passengers who have failed in the dream of traveling to europe and establishing a new life there. What we understand is that there are around 200 people on board. Most pakistani and two syrians decided to voluntarily return. As you say, it became necessary. This deal, arrangement because countries in europe beyond greece started shutting their borders. That created a backlog of people stranded in camps there. They hope this deal would enable some to come back. More than that, deter others from making the journey in the first place. We are moving into the warm spring and summer months here. The expectation is seeing the refugees coming across the sea. Now we see the first shipment come back. It will be a regular sight for the foreseeable future. We are talking about huge loads like this and the future is uncertain. Syrians will be allowed to stay here in turkey because turkey has opened its gates to 2. 7 million syrians who fled the conflict across the border in their country. As were talking about here, pakistanis and afghanis and north africa as well. The expectation is their future is less certain. What they have do is apply for protection. There is no guarantee they will get it. A controversy for sure. Critics say it is europe abdicating its responsibility to help these people. More than that, shipping them back to a country that is not in the best position to deal with them and help them and give them the protection they need. It is hard to imagine, phil, people from pakistan and afghanistan, got as far as turkey, would give up once they were shipped back from greece. Did they say what their intentions are . Reporter well, i think many of them want to get beyond greece. They want to get to germany and other countries in northern europe. Once that has been closed to them, it is increasingly clear that there were fewer options and settling in greece is not their intention. In the case of many of those people from those countries, they dont fit the definition of refugees. They are not necessarily fleeing war and persecution the same way the syrians are. The event they were to apply here, the economic migrants, they would have a tougher time of getting official protections in europe. Now they have to see if they can get them in turkey. As i say, no guarantee there. It is entirely possible they could end up being end back to the country of origin. From whatever country they left. Phil black in turkey.
