a state. the big. player. i'm told me a lot well welcome to the program. we begin in the u.s. where presidential hopeful bernie sanders leads in the state of new hampshire where democrat voters selecting a candidate to take on president donald trump in november's elections sanders is leading with nearly 27 percent of the vote with a huff of the results announced 2nd is former mayor people to judge who won the iowa caucuses he's followed by amy club elizabeth warren and joe biden. joining me now from washington is d.w. correspondent pablo foley l e s. bernie sanders looks on course to win the democrats' new hampshire primary other results bringing some clarity to the democratic race after we saw that chaotic outcome in the iowa caucuses last week. i think it's far too early to say whether we have tired but we what we do know at the moment is that it does look like vermont senator bernie sanders will actually top the poll and let's not forget that he actually won here back in 2016 when he was in the race to become the democratic candidate he did of course end up losing not. hillary clinton it's also a very good showing for pete put it boded gedge excuse me it looks like he'll take 2nd then in fact it looks like it's tightening at the moment of this cult one eye on the latest results as they're coming in between sanders and bo to judge senator amy klobuchar our big night from her she's a senator from minnesota looks like she's going to take 3rd elizabeth warren a progressive a little bit like sound is in that sense not having a very good night and she's from neighboring massachusetts and she may take 4th it looks like a very poor showing by joe biden the former vice president he in fact new hampshire earlier today and traveled straight to south carolina where he's now focusing on that the primaries which will that take place there later this month hold much longer can joe biden hang on because we've seen the new hampshire primary has already whittled the democratic candidates from 11 down to 9 so do we expect to see joe biden also fall by the wayside. well you're right it's down to 9 that we saw the end of the campaign for andrew young and also michael bennett they died of the race but i think once again it's a little bit too early to say tell me whether biden will be next that like i said he's focus on that you know states like south carolina which as i said before has a primary later this month and he was speaking to his supporters as well earlier this evening and he said that it's very important for any presidential candidate to do well with african-americans and latinos and interestingly. those tend to do well in sort of more ethnically diverse states like south carolina and nevada nevada of course will have their caucus at their caucuses later this month and south carolina will have their primaries as well ok very briefly what happens next in the race to become the democratic presidential nominee. while attention is now turning like i said to the caucuses and the primary in south carolina but of course the main focus will be on super tuesday which takes place at the start of march where we will be seeing 14 states vote some of the big states like california and texas are among those 14 so the candidates now have to sit back and try and get more phones rolling in so that they can keep their campaigns rolling thank you very much public reporting from washington. palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas has reaffirmed his rejection of the peace plan offered by the u.s. saying it will not be accepted by the palestinian people speaking at the u.n. security council president abbas said the deal would strengthen what he called israel's apartheid regime and reward israeli occupation rather than holding it accountable for crimes committed against palestinians his mum would have us speaking at the un. this plan will not bring peace or stability to the region when he has. and therefore we will not accept his plan we will confront its application on the ground. this is the summary of the project that was presented to us. this is the state that they will give us. its like swiss cheese. really who among you will accept a similar state and similar conditions. now critics of the deal say it would grant israel several of its long held wishes some of which could violate international law. the occupied west bank transplant could lead to the defacto onix nation of parts of the territory which was captured by israel in 1967 an extension of territory was condemned after world war 2 by the united nations charter critics want trumps proposal could violate principles of international law if it's implemented so 1st obviously we should take this very seriously this is not a peace plan this was a plan for perpetuating oppression and dispossession of palestinians not giving them statehood nor rights but the permanent state of apartheid if you me important thing to know is defacto annexation has already occurred so when we're talking about annexation especially with regards to the trump land we're talking about did your annexation as are already controls all of the land from the river the jordan river to the mediterranean sea others argue that the plan calls for negotiations not unilateral actions. if one looks carefully at the greenman at the proposal of the milk i'm not proposing that is will act unilaterally. nor are they demanding except to the such they say this is our proposal you parties sit and negotiate it now is will there under this plan israel would have certain parts of the west bank but in what needs to be negotiated israeli prime minister benyamin netanyahu had promised to swiftly assert sovereignty over the west bank settlements on the jordan valley the us however seems to be pushing for that to happen only after the israeli elections on march the 2nd a joint us israeli committee has started working out the details of the map if the international community is still interested in international law being a fundamental governing regime for universal values it needs to consider what's happening in palestine very seriously indeed what happens to the palestinians here can easily happen elsewhere and i think it proves a case in point and we already see moves elsewhere in the world if israel proceeds with such a defacto an exaggeration it's unclear how the rest of the international community will react. have a quick roundup of some other stories making news around the world. sudan's transitional government and rebel

a disastrous week that saw political taboo broken the party flirted with a far right wing a far right party to win a regional election as a result the leader of the c.d.u. is resigning a domestic firestorm to deal with the problems abroad and not waiting or going anywhere. e.u. member states are concerned that germany might be politically unstable when it takes over the rotating e.u. presidency later this year chancellor angela merkel's conservatives are in crisis mode after the resignation of party leader and a great calm. it's not clear who will replace her and what kind of relationship the party might assume with the far right if the polls suggest most germans do not want to see the party shift to the right. i think it is the thought that if i think this is dangerous for the christian democrats if they move to the right which they already did with common cause of our they could form a coalition with a f d that's more than just breaking a taboo that's actually making a pact with the far right extremists i have the party won't move to the right they can afford to. use the cd you can't go on being so stubborn it's not sustainable if they can't ignore voters. and the crisis was triggered by regional c.d.u. politicians decision to elect a premier year in the state of thuringia in cooperation with the far right populist i.f.t. party and the pro-business f.t.p. this was against the wishes of the c.d.u. national leadership and was seen as political taboo in germany. what we learned from what happened in thuringia is that the powers within the c.d.u. want to move the party to the political right but the backlash has been so massive that the party is now taking this very seriously. if the c.d.u. does move further to the right that could threaten merkel's coalition government members of parliament are appealing for calm. over your ship battle in the party is surely something that's not very helpful right now but we members of parliament will continue to provide stability in these troubling times but i know. this governing coalition is able and willing to work it's been a tough couple of months for the social democrats too but i don't want to make the job any more difficult for the c.d.u. at the moment. to be able. now we will most likely be up to chancellor merkel to resolve the crisis her government can't afford such turmoil when it takes up the presidency of the european union. in football you're going to win one has done germany's been does lee go by resigning as coach of lin just 10 weeks into the job the former germany and
