Stand against the name of another. A good friday morning. We begin with the new york fight night, otherwise known as the democratic debate, sparks were flying as the candidates delivered their sharpest attacks yet. Yeah, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders laid out their differences in debate number nine for them. It was a contentious faceoff marked by a string of fiery exchanges on everything from gun control to big money donations. Our coverage begins now with abcs marci gonzalez. Reporter a democratic debate battle in the big apple. Senator sanders did call me unqualified. Ive been called a lot of things in my life. That was a first. Reporter increasingly heated rhetoric between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders coming to a boil here in brooklyn. Does secretary clinton have the experience and the intelligence to be a presiden but i do question but i do question her judgment. President obama trusted my judgment enough to be secretary of state for the united states. Lets talk about judgment. And let us talk about the worst Foreign Policy blunder in the modern history of this country. Reporter with less than a week before new york voters go to the polls, the rivals clashing on guns, raising the minimum wage. History has outpaced second clinton because all over in country people are standing up and theyre saying, 12 is not good enough. We need 15 an hour. Reporter and on Foreign Policy he could not answer about afghanistan, about israel, about counterterrorism. Reporter just a few miles away in manhattan all of the republican candidates together. Protesters chanting outside. All shut the whole system down. Reporter as donald trump, ted cruz and john kasich spoke at a new york gop fundraiser. And all of the candidates will be campaigning today in new york except sanders who is speaking today at the vatican. Marci gonzalez, abc news, brooklyn, new york. Heres what is at stake. Nearly 300 new york delegates are up for grabs next week and the latest polls indicate Hillary Clinton with a 17 lead over sanders. For more on their shift in tone and what we can expect in the next few days and weeks we turn to abcs political director rick klein. Reporter kendis and diane, the healing in the Democratic Party will have to wait. This was perhaps the most bitter and most personal of the debates so far. Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders going at each other over basic questions of judgment and qualifications in addition to policy and tone. Rhetorical differences that have real policy ramifications and i think now given t this race Hillary Clinton coming in with this big delegate lead and Bernie Sanders with the momentum. Nothing is going to change sides in a big way. If anything this sets up another six weeks of harsh, intense campaigning. The delegate lead unlikely to be overcome. New york now setting itself up as critical for the remainder of these contests now the two circling each other with light barbs and friendly encounters for so much of this are now setting up a very harsh ending to the campaign. Bernie sanders making clear he expects to win the nomination threatening to take this fight all the way to the Democratic National convention so for all of the divisions weve seen on the republican side, a very clear indication that there are more divisions to come for the democrats. Kendis and diane. Rick, thank you. Turning now to the republicans, all three candidates were under the same roof. The president ial hopefuls took turns making their case in new york last night. At the states gop gala. The event came on the same day endorsement from former new york governor George Pataki and the New York Post backed donald trump. Right now millions of votes ahead of my closest rival. Millions of votes. People dont talk about votes anymore. They talk delegates. By the way, i happen to be hundreds of delegates ahead too. We risk losing everything from the white house to the courthouse to the statehouse if we dont advance a positive, uplifting unifying message to this country. That is what we need to do. If Hillary Clinton becomes the next president for four or eight more years, the people of new york know full well what comes from that. And so the question we have to ask collectively is how do we win . And there were hundreds of antitrump protesters outside the hotel and some made their way inside and as such more than 30 people were arrested. Later chairman of the Republican National committee. One of the volatile issues the next president will have to deal with is the provocative behavior of north korea. Today really is a special day in the secretive communist country and one see vent marked the occasion and did not go as plan. Lana zak has details. Good morning. Reporter good morning. It is the birthday of north koreas founder kim ilsung and they celebrated with missiles. A missile test was ordered to celebrate and to continue the posturing at a time of tense relations. Reports say the missile believed to be a musadon. The u. S.
