Senator Bernie Sanders is claiming victory in the never votto caucuses the latest stage in the race for the democratic president ial nomination so only a fraction of voting stations have reported results but theyre giving sanders a clear lead over his rivals if confirmed that it would cement his status as the front runner to take on President Donald Trump in november. Now on the wire to bring you some pretty good news. Was over yet all of you know we warned that the popular vote in iowa will was we won the New Hampshire primary was and according to 3 networks and the a. P. We have now won the battle caucus the or so that will center speaking earlier on well this is Elizabeth Warren she is about to address her supporters live in seattle lets listen i have to thank you for keeping me in the fight was was the race has been told bernie has won congratulations birdie it was but i want to tell you Something Else thats going on sansa wednesday night was the why was she wednesday night our support has been growing everywhere since since i stepped on that stage was right for a 1000000 people have gone to a lizabeth or an dot com and pitched in their 25. 00 in 3 days people have contributed 90000000. 00 to this thought i was sound showing them go to Elizabeth Warren dot com be part of this fight thats how were going to get this guy was we have a lot of states. You know and right now i can feel the momentum so much. So that was in the head with warren addressing orderly. And according to the latest numbers we are getting she has come in 4th with 8. 4 percent of the vote thats been counted so far and as were saying senator Bernie Sanders coming out on top lets bring in rob reynolds whos with Bernie Sanders supporters over in Las Vegas Nevada just rob bring us right up to speed with everything thats been going on in the past couple of minutes or so. Well go Bernie Sanders was so confident that we here in nevada that he actually skipped the already and went to texas instead which of course its one of those big delegate rich state that will float on super tuesday march 3rd people have been celebrating here all night. And the results were meat clear all right apologies we seem to have lost our connection to rob rob was reporting from the nevada caucuses he was amongst Bernie Sanders supporters as were saying Bernie Sanders projected to come out on top lets get some more perspective on this and speak to our side has and hes a Democratic Political strategist hes joining us now from burlington vermont via skype no doubt Bernie Sanders home states are south has some thanks i was on right on al jazeera whats your reaction to the numbers were getting out of the caucuses right now in nevada. Well its clear Bernie Sanders has scored an overwhelming win this is the 3rd strong showing after 3 of 3 contests this firmly places him as a front runner for the democratic nomination yeah look ahead for us here what does he have to do to sort of maintain this momentum when it comes to South Carolina and of course super tuesday on the 3rd of march yeah so he is strongly contesting South Carolina although joe biden has been strong till till i would say pretty recently in South Carolina so thats the next contest thats run like a regular primary its none of this complex confusing caucus machinations but then right after that is super tuesday nearly a quarter of all the delegates which determines who gets the nomination are are allocated on that day as part of the results for those states california texas and the rest as you can see by Bernie Sanders going right to texas one of the largest states we have to allocate those delegates and there i think it is still anybodys game bernie has an enormous amount of momentum after these 3 wins i but the other candidates have been spending big warning as youve heard is that a huge bump in the last few days so i think theres still a contest here but its clear that Bernie Sanders is at the front of it and speaking about spending how do you assess bloomberg chances Going Forward because considering that hes been hes been spending so much money on his campaign. He has hes taken some really big risks he skipped the 1st 4 states not only not spending money there but not actually getting on the ballot so he misses those delegates now numerically theyre not a large number of delegates but as you can tell it shapes the narrative bloomberg last debate performance was abysmal even by his own campaigns assessment of it so yes you can spend a lot of money but this is when people see bloomberg they saw the debate performance and they see a siphon that they see a bunch of ads so bloomberg is a contender simply because he has quite a few resources to at his disposal the Bernie Sanders clearly has a lot of people and the other candidates like warren and judge theyve been working at this so they have built their name recognition over time people and of have an idea of who they are with bloomberg people are just beginning to hear about him now and being sort of a Democratic Political strategist and for the benefit of our International Viewers can you just give us an idea of the significance and the importance of how important this particular caucus is to all of the candidates and and for those viewers of ours who dont really follow the twists and turns of the caucuses. Oh yeah so people may have heard about the 1st 2 contests New Hampshire and iowa they make big news because they make big news the importance of the nevada caucus though is that this is a caucus in a population that far more resembles a democratic electorate nevada is a diverse state with you know voters Asian American voters africanamerican voters this is a demographic that New Hampshire and iowa really lacks that this gives us an idea of how the electorate in general are more representative idea of the electorate in general and at least in terms of the democrats themselves South Carolina will be similar theres a large africanamerican population but for International Viewers if it isnt clear racial the way that candidates interact the different demographic groups and different racial issues is enormously important in our politics particularly in Democratic Politics so this is that 1st contest that really factors that in a right we thank you very much our side has done for speaking to us from vermont thank you absolutely my pleasure now on to other news in the spread of the corona virus is growing outside of china with italys seeing the worst outbreak in europe its reported at least 79. 00 tases and 2 deaths most of them in the long already and vonetta regions the government says it will forcibly lock down affected areas.

In iran a 6th death from corona virus was reported on saturday with 28 infections infected travelers from the country have been diagnosed in canada lebanon and the United Arab Emirates and china has reported an increase in new infections at the epicenter of the outbreak in a province they found 630 cases on saturday up from 366 the previous day i get an update from wayne hay hes joining us from hong kong and as were saying wayne the numbers have really been up and down over the past few days just bring us up to speed with what youre hearing. Yes well worth noting that this is a month now since the city of han and who province the the center of the outbreak went into lockdown so a remarkable situation there with an entire city basically closed off from the outside world and debate will no doubt rage for a long time as to whether that was the right decision for the government to take in terms of trying to contain this virus but youre right the numbers do tend to fluctuate out one of the reasons for that is the Chinese Government is changing has done over the past week or so the method it uses to test suspected coronavirus patients but the numbers do tend to be trending downward slightly recently despite those latest figures being released on sunday morning from the Health Commission in beijing showing an increase compared with the previous day in the number of new infections in who province so there are some encouraging signs generally but certainly no reason to celebrate yet from the Chinese Governments point of view or the point of view of the World Health Organization they are certainly sounding plenty of notes of caution one encouraging us to to stick though is the number of ongoing cases in who bay province is declining so these are people who have symptoms of corona virus and are going through a testing procedure or confirmed infections who are being treated so that number is trending downward so again that is encouraging we may get some more clarity on the situation in.

Virus infection maybe medical staff as well who have now contracted the virus we know back in 20022003 during the sars outbreak that that was a big problem in china so things like that that the w. H. O.
