focus on fillry. >> campaigning today in indiana donald trump was already looking past tuesday's primary. >> just like bern yoa sanders said about crooked hillary clinton, she suffers-- suffers from bad judgement. and you can't have her be your president. >> reporter: a double digit win would put trump on track to secure the majority of delegates needed to win the nomination before the summer's convention which would spell doom for ted cruz. >> we're going to go to a contested convention. >> reporter: the texas senator can only win with a floor flight in july. and today he hit all five sunday shows insisting he's got a viable path. >> donald knows he cannot earn a majority of the delegates that were elected by the people. and you gota win a majority. if you can't win a majority, it means you can't unite the party and you can't win. >> i feel that donald trump is probably leading. and if he does get the nomination. >> reporter: but even cruz's supporters are joining establishment republicans in accepting trump as the lickly nominee leaving the anyone but trump movement morphing into anyone but hillary. >> i will work against the di viciveness, the mean spiritedness, the hateful rhetoric that we are hearing from donald trump and others. >> reporter: clinton is also gearing up for a trump matchup, while the delegate math works against bernie sanders, today in washington he called on superdelegates to flip their support. and he vowed to stay in through the convention. >> that is admittedly, and i do not deny it for a second, a tough road to climb. but it to climb. >> reporter: sanders is predicting a contested convention but one area where he is losing steam is on the money front. jeff, he brought in 26 million dollars in april, far less than the 46 million dollars he raised in march, raising more questions about his viability through the summer. >> glor: julianna goldman, thanks very much. at least six people were killed by a flash flood this

only the heels of a huge protest in baghdad yesterday. jonathan vigliotti is in london. >> reporter: protestors clashed with police inside baghdad's heavily forthified green zone as demonstrators demanded an overhaul of what they call a broken government that has failed to provide basic services like water and electricity. >> this green zone is not the property of any member of the parliament. it's the property of the iraqi people said habib al-battat. and he and hundreds of others made themselves at home in this international government compound, rarely seen by iraqi green zone's blast wall and stormed parliament. cell phone video shows lawmakers escaping in cars. the crowd backed by popular shiite cleric muqtada al-sadr demanded prime minister haider al abadi overhaul his cabinet which they say is part of a corrupt political system put in place by the u.s. after the invasion in 2003. this weekend security breach came less than 48 hours after vice president joe biden visited the iraqi capitol in a show of support for al abadi who the u.s. regards as a stable partner in the war on isis. but there is concern isis is feeding off this political instability. this afternoon the group carried out twin car bombings that rocked the southern iraqi city of samawah. more than 30 people were killed. it is the latest in a recent wave of attacks. jonathan vigliotti, cbs news, london. >> glor: the cleanup continues following a train derailment and d.c. this morning. a frailt train went off the tracks flipping 14 cars on their side. the train was carrying sodium hydroxide used in household cleaning products but no evacuations were ordered and the spill has been contained. >> last night's white house correspondent dinner president obama made his final appearance while in office. and jamie yuccas has details. >> the end of the republic has never looked better. >> reporter: this year marks president barack obama's last correspondent's bash which may have been his finest performance. >> i know i was a little late tonight. i was running on cpt. which stands for jokes that white people should not make. >> mr. obama known for his well placed zingers made the job of comedian larry wilmore even harder. >> i have to admit it's not easy to follow the president, man. you got some jokes, . the presidential candidates, comparing hillary clinton to an aunt who doesn't understand facebook. >> dear america, did you get my poke? >> reporter: he called 74 year old bernie sanders the bright new face of the democratic party. >> bernie, you look like a million bucks, or to put it in terms will you understand, you look like 37,000 donations of $27 each. >> reporter: 20 minutes in, he pretended to be wrapping up. >> i'm just kidding. you know i'm going to talk about trump. >> reporter: who was no not in the room. >> i'm a little hurt is he not here tonight. >> reporter: once he got started the punch lines kept coming. >> there is one area where donald's experience could be invaluable and that's closing guantanamo. because trump knows a thing or two about running waterfront properties into the ground. >> reporter: the president's last laugh came as just two words. >> obama out. jamie yuccas, cbs news, new york. >> glor: the first family's first daughter has decided where she's going to college. harvard will be malia obama's new home. not quite yet, though. she is taking a so called gap year. a year off before she starts at harvard in 2017. the first family made the announcement on national college decision day, the deadline foreign rollment deposits. for those taking out college loans the government just rolled out a new payment plan. and cbs new business analyst jill schlesinger is here with more. called the payback play book. >> we know that student loan debt has about looned. it has gone up by two times over the last ten years, 1.3 trillion in outstanding debt. i think the bigger problem is that about one in four students is actually in default or delinquent on the loan. and the government was really wondering why weren't more people taking advantage of similarious repayment options that have existed since the consumer financial protection bureau did a study. they found there were big problems with the loan servicers not giving enough information to student borrowers. >> glor: so this just presents more options for payback. >> absolutely. what it does is lays out three specific ways that students can pay back their loans. and they do it in plain english, no fine print. so let me give you an example of this. let's say your current plan is a loan for ten years and you've got $271 a month payment. then you say well, what would happen if i had an accelerated payment that started low and went up to a larger number at the end. could you start at 152 a month. and then there is a plan that is just based on your income, and that would be the lowest payment it would occur over 20 years. so you have three plans. you figure out which one is the best one for you. >> glor: but none of this is set in stone yet what is the next step. >> so right now we're going to see some public comment on this. but the government is really wanting to see this plan implemented as soon as possible. and frankly, they're very concerned that le borrowers don't have enough information, they're going to be behind the eight ball. again the student loan debt problem is a huge issue. and this is one way to help address it. >> glor: jill, thanks very much. >> thank you. >> glor: up next here, circus elephants pack their trunks for retirement. and new images of a picture-per feblght princess when the cbs evening news continues. on the denture,t stills and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists
