Hello polls have just closed in South Carolina the latest states hold a primary election as democrats select their candidate to challenge donald trump for the presidency this is the 1st primary in the south and the 1st where africanamerican voters will play a pivotal role nearly 2 thirds of democratic voters in South Carolina are black a bloc that strongly supported the former Vice President joe biden but the front runner Bernie Sanders has been gaining in polls analysts say its a make or break moment though. For bidens campaign and the other candidates Elizabeth Warren pete booted judge amy chua bashara tom sawyer and tolson got barred are also hoping for a strong finish to stay competitive for a super tuesday its only 3 days away and its also when my gloom bird will 1st appear on ballots alongside them for the 1st time 14 states plus American Samoa will all vote on monday lets bring in Andy Gallagher hes following events out of columbia South Carolina polls just closed a few moments ago what should we be looking out for next and. Well we should be looking out for the results in some of the Media Outlets here in the United States already projecting that joe biden will win South Carolina remember he didnt win nevada he didnt win in New Hampshire or iowa was so this is a state that he really does need to win but its not a question of a winning its a question of how big the margin is between him and Bernie Sanders whos been the closest rival in this competition because its important to remember that joe biden has a long history with South Carolina he knows particularly black africanamerican voters it very well they make up 60 percent of democratic voters so its an important tense Phase Campaign but lets look at the Bigger Picture for a moment were going into super tuesday in which 14 states and one outlying territory all get to vote that constitutes about 38 percent of all the delegates delegates in this competition and biden needs to win begin to give the south momentum going into super tuesday when it will keep his Campaign Alive but it needs to be a big one i think thats what all the pundits are really saying because remember a few months ago biden was had a commanding lead here in South Carolina given his history given the endorsement by a local black politician whos known as the godfather of South Carolina brought politics you would have to expect that but some of the polls that put sanders within the margin of error. As i said some outlets already saying that this woman this is just a question about big that win will be and we will wait to see the results and when do we expect the results to start coming out. Of the polls opened at 7 am this morning they just closed at 7 pm so we expect those results to come pouring in fairly quickly some of the interesting things coming out of the exit polls you know people talking about which which candidates they like and it its undeniable that Bernie Sanders has made a great deal of inroads here particularly among young millennial black votes as tom started a billionaire spent a fortune in South Carolina both of those candidates have been eating into bidens once commanding lead so he needs to win big so he can then turn to his supporters going into super tuesday and say look what i did in South Carolina then lets do it. Most things. All right andy thank you for that update from South Carolina. President trump has called for calm after confirming the 1st coronavirus death in the u. S. President says there are now 22. 00 cases in the country and the white house will be imposing a travel ban on iran this comes after Iranian State television reported another 295 new infections tramples also considering closing the border with mexico despite the latin American Country only having 4 confirmed cases. Additional cases in the United States or likely but healthy individuals should be able to fully recover and we think that will be safe and that we can make with great surety now that weve gotten from e. U. With this problem they should be able to recover. Should they contract of iris so Healthy People if you healthy. You will probably. Go through a process and youll be fine so that was trump speaking earlier on lets bring in george is joining us from washington d. C. What more are we learning about the particular circumstances that led to the death off this person in the u. S. Daryn we dont know much more about the man who died other than he was apparently in his mid fiftys and had preexisting Health Conditions but what is worrisome according to an Infectious Disease experts is that there are a number of cases now on the u. S. West coast in which the people who have a contract at this corona virus did not travel to any of the countries where the outbreak has been most serious and i mean italy that means south korea and that also means china and so what these Infectious Disease experts are saying is that this means that corona virus is definitely now in the United States and that transmission is happening from person to person within the u. S. Its not just people who have been overseas who are coming back carrying the virus and perhaps either getting sick themselves or unknowingly infecting other people. And what more the President Trump have to say about the new travel restrictions that he wants to impose. Well the president did say that he was going to step up travel restrictions on persons coming from iran to the United States he did issue an executive order later on saturday afternoon which basically says that not only can no persons who are from iran come to the United States but also that people from other countries who have visited iran in the last 14 days will also now be denied a visa to come see the United States as for italy and south korea the centers for Disease Control the federal agency has increased its travel advisory essentially telling people here in the United States to not go to certain parts of those countries in light of that we are now seeing a number of universities pulling back their students who may have gone to either of these countries for study abroad programs again in a bid to try to protect them from being infected with the coronavirus theres also was seems to be as spill on effect on what u. S. Businesses are doing but it seems to be a little bit scattered were not seeing a whole scale shutdown of the u. S. Economy which some people are fearing but that it is not happening as of right now or a trials in jordan thank you well after more than 18 years of war deal between the u. S. And taliban has put afghanistan on the past away many many hope will be a Permanent Peace and one of the key components of the deal for a complete withdrawal of all u. S. And nato troops within 14 months if the taliban sticks to its parts some of been reports. We destroyed a new chapter may have opened for afghanistan the United States has agreed on a deal that could see the complete to draw all of its troops from its longest running war in the next 14 months.

Government have been negotiating in a cutter finally agreeing on a plan aimed at cementing a Permanent Peace as part of the deal the taliban will not allow god is found to be used by al qaida and it will continue to fight against isis.

We are committed to this agreement to a force that the Afghan Nation has been suffering for the past 4 decades we have suffered tremendously and i hope that with the withdrawal of all Foreign Forces from afghanistan that the Afghan Nation under the islamist government will embark on a new prosperous life while the deal was signed in doha a ceremony was also taking place in the Afghan Capital of kabul u. S. Secretary of defense and nato chief satinder president his government wasnt part of the negotiations and the taliban still doesnt recognize that what under the u. S. Taliban deal the Afghan Government asked the u. N. Security council to lift sanctions on the taliban our agenda for discussion with the taliban be be wider than their discussions with the United States they should be dated to discuss their relationship with their state and non states sponsors a verifiable system for cutting off their ties with all transnational terrorist groups their dependence and involvement with narcotics and other Transnational Criminal Organizations positivity the foreign minister from neighboring pakistan with longstanding ties to the taliban was in doha for the signing we have nothing to hide. Your transcribing and be open so. Far housing. Being a positive contribution to the positive. There was a big contingent of. Support for the deal they say it will do you. Good. Today is a huge historic day a similar day like today was celebrated by and says a century ago after defeating the brits and then 30 years ago for defeating the soviets today we witness al leadership signing a withdrawal deal of occupying American Forces and victory deal of the holy warriors. The Us Government says victory will be achieved when the Afghan People live with no fear in Foreign Forces are not afraid of attacks they said this was history in the making a real chance for lasting peace in afghanistan and the signing is a stepping stone towards it but all parties to the conflict realize that there is real work for lasting peace in afghanistan has just begun.
