Meet with al sharpton. Sharpton is waiting to meet with Hillary Clinton. Talking with someone familiar with sharptons thinking, he has concerns with both candidates. My understanding is that while it all sounds good, there is skepticism about whether sanders can deliver. Also misgivings about Hillary Clinton, too. Though she polls very well with minorities, there are questions about things bill clinton did as president that could affect hillarys campaign. Wounds have not healed over the rhetoric and sometimes divisive battle in 2008. Bill clinton going too far at times and signing of the welfare reform bill as president and the crime bill that led to higher rates of incarceration. Bill clinton said he regrets that, but the source said whether the Africanamerican Community will take oops, im sorry for an answer. Today, the focus on milwaukee and the latest faceoff with the candidates in that debate. John and christine. That democratic debate sponsored by pbs airs tonight on cnn and on your local pbs station live at 9 00 p. M. The republican president ial field is smaller by two this morning. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Business Executive Carly Fiorina dropped out of the race or suspended their campaigns. Now more republicans have quit the race than remain. Today, john kasich and ted cruz and marco rubio and ben carson will be in South Carolina. That is the scene of the next primary. Following the big win in New Hampshire, rivals have nine days to try to bring donald trump down. Donald trump, who is an extraordinary politician, apparently, and great actor and enterta entertainer. It is entertaining until you get insulted. Not if you are a disabled person. That is a sign of weakness or disparage women or hispanics. We cannot nominate a candidate who has the same Health Care Plan of socialized medicine as Bernie Sanders. I think we need to remember that 75 of the voters yesterday chose oh, 65 chose someone other than donald trump. The question is how long will it take before we got a narrow enough field for that voter to consolidate. Trump is the only major republican candidate not in South Carolina today. He is headed it to louisiana for a rally in baton rouge. Cnns jim acosta is along for the ride. Reporter donald trump literally took a victory lap on the stage behind me as he savored his win in New Hampshire. Trump tipped his hat to Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina who dropped out of the race. He rarely talked about the opponents at the event in South Carolina. A couple of lines on jeb bush. That is it. He sounded like a send election candidate hitting Hillary Clinton as someone who cannot beat Bernie Sanders. Here is how trump put it. She has to get through the wacky socialist guy bernie. Listen, no, no, last night before i made my speech, i said i dont want to make it while hes making it. I was trying to beat him. I let him go. Reporter the Trump Campaign is trying to stick with the arena style rallies up and down the campaign calendar. His Campaign Manager says he believes his candidate has a major advantage over the contenders in the field. He said the campaign has staff and volunteers in 20 states and trump will not just be in South Carolina in the coming days. John and christine. Now that will be in my head the rest of the morning. Joining us to break down the shift of the action to South Carolina, we have tom lobianco. Good morning. How are you . Good morning. Were great. We love to be up this early. Lets talk about ted cruz here. How this is a twoman race. Listen to something the candidates said last night. I think at this point it is becoming more and more a twoman race between me and donald trump. What were seeing is conservatives uniting behind our campaign. If conservatives continue to unite, we will win the nomination. It is still a sevenman race. Give credit to jim gilmore. There are seven in there. He wants it to be a twoman race. Thats right. The more people drop out after each contest, the more clear it becomes how crowded this race still is. Cruz needs it to be a twoman race. It very clearly is not. He did not place well. He placed okay in New Hampshire. You know, walking out of New Hampshire, there was, you know, more than a few tickets. He could have easily cleared the field had he come in a strong second. He got mixed in with bush and rubio and right in the third tier if you will. The muddy third place finish. Not a twoman race. South carolina is not a twoman race, but twolane race. Donald trump and ted cruz perhaps competing for that conservative, maybe more religious evangelical voter. Then the establishment lane which narrowed as john kasich and jeb bush and marco rubio. I was surprised that jeb bush is still talking only about donald trump. Listen to him last night. He attacked my mother for m campaigning for me. It is funny, actually. Of course, they will campaign for me. They love me. I love them. Im proud of being a bush. If donald trump wants to go after my brother, it will be helpful. Jeb bush is talking about george w. Bush who will campaign for him in South Carolina. Tom, the risk or reward for that decision . You had to play that card at some point. Now is the time. You know it does seem like with the number of folks that have dropped out already and his Strong Performance considering in New Hampshire, he didnt get the second place spot, but bush did okay. This breathed new life in his campaign. In South Carolina, they said this before. It seems to be true now. It is do or die for him. He may not need to win, but he has to do well down there. That could revive his campaign at this point. Those candidates appearing on fox last night. On cnn yesterday, jay carney breathing insight into who the president would prefer to see as the nominee. Listen. I dont think theres any doubt that he wants hillary to win the nomination and believes she would be the best candidate in the fall and the most effective as president. There we go. We were wondering if the president would favor his Vice President coming into the race. That looks like a solid endorsement of Hillary Clinton. It sure sounds that way. Thats in line with that podcast that obama did. He later had to tamp it down a bit in the private meeting with sanders. The president will more than likely stay out of the primary contest formally. All signs point to at least him and his top staff like clinton. Look at that. That points right to her strength, experience and readiness to take on the job. It seems little more pressing now following New Hampshire with that sanders 20pointwin there and talk she might not even be able to hold on to nevada. This is, you know, theres a point behind carney coming out now and saying that. Theres nothing subtle about the white house support and support from president obama for Hillary Clinton. It just hasnt been loud. It will be interesting to see if they turn up the volume. If that from jay carney was deliberate that the white house is sending as you see more minority voters weighing in. We will watch that for sure. Tom lobianco, thank you for being with us. Thanks. Breaking overnight. The state department could release 550 emails of Hillary Clinton on saturday after the delays.

I hope and what the goal of this campaign is about look at the Civil Rights Movement and Womens Movement and gay moment. When people come together, we can accomplish enormous things. The debate in milwaukee at 9 00 p. M. Correspondent joe johns has the latest. Reporter john and christine, the folks on milwaukee and the debate tonight with Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. It is so important because the former secretary of state lost momentum in the drubbing she took in New Hampshire. She is already trying to make changes to the campaign to appeal to younger voters. Bernie sanders will try to build on Fund Raising Success and the big win in New Hampshire to show hes not a onestate wonder. A lot riding on the debate tonight. At the same time, the candidates are looking toward the next time the voters go to the polls. The pivot to South Carolina is a challenge for the candidates because of the demographics. Africanamerican voters with big influence there. Interesting Bernie Sanders didnt just fly right to South Carolina after his big win. He went to harlem to meet with reverend al sharpton. Sharpton was not issuing endorsements at this point. He is waiting to meet with Hillary Clinton. In talking with someone familiar with sharptons thinking, he has concerns about both candidates. There continue to be questions about whether sanders can actually do the things hes talked about on the campaign trail. My understanding is while it all sounds good, theres skepticism whether sanders can deliver. And misgivings about Hillary Clinton, too. She polls well with minorities, there with questions about things bill clinton did as president that could affect hillarys campaign. Wounds have not healed over the rhetoric and sometimes divisive battle in the primary in 2008. Bill clinton seen as going a little too far at times. The signing of the welfare reform bill as president and the crime bill that led to higher rates of incarceration. Bill clinton said he regrets that, but the source said the question is whether the Africanamerican Community is going to take oops, im sorry for an answer. Today, the focus on milwaukee and latest faceoff with the candidates in that debate. John and christine. Joe johns, thank you so much. The democratic president ial debate sponsored by pbs airs tonight. You can see it here on cnn and local pbs station. Live at 9 00 p. M. Eastern. Joining us to figure out what will happen tonight to break down this crucial action, cnn political reporter tom lobianco. Tom, this is the first day, the first event of the rest of our political lives in the democratic race. Bernie sanders and Hillary Clinton out of iowa and New Hampshire. Two states that are very white and very liberal. Now casie facing the rest of th country. How will it play out . Sanders was prepping this throughout New Hampshire. Talking about where the individual freedoms and individual rights. A lot of the old civil rights. Civil rights movement, womens rights movement. He has been talking about this for a while. Clinton, in an interesting way, in her closing speech on tuesday night, was sounding almost like sanders talking about income inequality. You can see them moving to their weaknesses. In nevada and South Carolina, they will be two incredibly important tests. Real major gauges of whether or not these guys will go the distance. Its incredibly important. Tonights going to be the first time they appear on stage headtohead postNew Hampshire in that check on the minority vote to see where they are. What is their message and what do they think will work there . When you leave iowa and New Hampshire, those are two very small unique states. A lot of times you hear people say they have out sized influence of what happens next. Different messages and electorates going forward. I want you polito listen to whay carney said yesterday. Listen. I dont think there is any doubt that he wants hillary to win the nomination and believes she would be the best candidate in the fall and the most effective as president and carrying forward what he achieved. The president would like Hillary Clinton carrying forward his legacy. For some of the sanders voters and supporters, they dont necessarily want a continuation of the last eight years of president obama. They want a revolution. Right. Thats right. The entrance polls from iowa and exit polls from New Hampshire, all with the interesting questions. The gauge of what do you think of the president. Voters going with clinton said yes, we like the direction. Keep going. The voters who are going with sanders said we like the direction and more of it. We want it more liberal. So thats what they want. Bill press is one of the big sanders surrogates out there in the liberal movement. He said he wrote that book saying there is disappointment on the left with obama. You can see that in that base for sanders. Not much disappointment among the Minority Community with president obama. To the extent he is willing to put his thumb on the scales and say more kind things about Hillary Clinton. It could help in the next few weeks as many of these states have a disproportionately high minority vote. It is interesting to see. Hillary clinton was not on the campaign trail and not in public yesterday. A full day off meeting with advisers. Tom, im curious, do you think we will see a change on the stage from her tonight . There have been questions on the leadership in her campaign. You know, its a good question. How do they change the message . Axelrod had the funny tweet a couple days ago. He said at what point do you stop questioning the advisers and start questioning the principle in the races . You know, she has to do something. She is already starting to make that adjustment on tuesday night. The message adjustment. You know it was very interesting when she said she wanted to see small dollar donations from supporters. It wasnt the donation blast that sanders got on tuesday night. Acknowledgment she has to play across the board. She has to Start Talking more income inequality. Thats her weakness. She is playing to it. Lets quickly talk about the gop before we let you go. We will have this democratic debate tonight, but the gop with ted cruz. He wants it to be a twoman race. Listen. I think at this point it is becoming more and more a twoman race between me and donald trump and what were seeing is conservatives uniting behind our campaign. If conservatives continue to unite, we will win the nomination and that is also how we win the general. There are seven people in the twoman race. Still a crowded field even with two out now. Right. Not quite mono e mono. He needs it that way. If it ends up being a threeway ultimately, rubio looked like a real threat. When it is a threeway, it is easier for donald trump to walk away with it. If it is cruz locking it in, he stands a much better path. His path is much clearer. He needs it and wants it desperately. South carolina is crucial in his game plan. Crucial. Thats a new headline. Crucial. Cruz campaign patenting it right now. Tom, thanks. Breaking overnight. The fbi moves in on the protesters in the oregon wildlife refuge. An arrest has been made. We have details next.

It comes in response to city officials rejection of the deal with the justice department.

There is growing concern on two fronts over russias full throttle air support for the regime offenses. It is triggering a refugee crisis. We are covering these developing stories. Lets start with Nic Robertson in munich. Good morning, nic. Reporter good morning, christine. You really cant under estimate the importance of the talks here. The peace talks ongoing in geneva last week barely got off the ground. It has been put on pause because of the russian air strikes in and around aleppo. Assad causing so many casualties on the ground and they could not continue with the talks in good conscious. What you have here later today, you have those 18 countries and groups of countries in the European Union and arab league to sit down to try to figure out a way to push this forward. We are hearing from the russians now and proposing a ceasefire. A ceasefire which should begin on the 1st of march. The opposition is saying if russia is serious about a ceasefire, then lets have it now. Im hearing probably the emphasis in the talks later tonight is going to be to put pressure on russia to bring down the timeline if they are serious about the ceasefire to get it going as quickly as possible to get the talks up and running. A lot of concern if this period of a ceasefire is allowed to wait for a couple of weeks, then the opposition is probably not going to be well placed to come back into the peace talks. There is a lot of focus, a lot of hope here that all of those other nations that will facing off around the table with russia and with iran that they can pressure them to get the talks going soon by bringing that ceasefire forward. Christine. Nic, in munich, thank you for that. Those russian air strikes in syria are coming close to the turkish border. Destroying or uprooting the lives of thousands of civilians. For more on that part are the story, we turn to Senior Correspondent arwa damon. Arwa. Reporter good morning. If you remember when the russian air strikes allowed the Syrian Regime to cut off a vital supply line from turkey to rebel held areas of aleppo, they not only hampered supply routes for rebel fighters, they also caused a massive humanitarian crisis when it comes to trying to get muchneeded Food Supplies in, but also causing tens of thousands to flee toward turkeys borders. Since the regime managed to take over and cut off that supply route, they cut rebel held areas in half and they have been moving closer toward turkeys borders. In the last 24 to 48 hours, air strikes happening a tenminute drive from the turkey border causing more people to flee. Meanwhile, turkey says it has an opendoor policy, but the gates remain closed. In the aftermath of the air strikes, it is heart breaking and devastating in the syrian war zone. A Youtube Video showed a girl bloodied and shrapnel in her head. She tried to speak, but couldnt. This is one example of the countless lives of the ongoing fighting which has been claiming. Many are not putting a lot of hope in the ceasefire talks will actually amount to anything. The opposition fighters say they have been bestraytrayed too man times by the international community. The Syrian Community has massive support from russia and including the Iraqi Militia and the vital support that it does get from iran. Arwa damon, thank you for that report. Lets get an early start on your money. A drop in oil is spending Global Stock Markets tumbling. Crude to 27 a barrel. Dow down almost 300 points. European stocks are plummeting.
