So, mr president , instead of talking about impeaching barack obama, you should be saying thank you, president obama, thank you, thank you, thank you. Folks, we have so thank you, thank you. Folks, we have so much more to do. A promise you, as your president , you will be partners and shaping the policy to make sure that everything american has an opportunity.

You know what you need best. We dont listen enough. We ta ke best. We dont listen enough. We take for granted. You know what you need. You know what your families need. You know what your families need. And ive never not listened to you. First we need to defend and build on obama care. Donald trump wa nts to build on obama care. Donald trump wants to get rid of it. Even some of the folks in my own outfit, in the primary, want to take it away. But ill never let that happen. Folks, and was proud to serve as president obamas Vice President for eight yea rs. Obamas Vice President for eight years. It was the honour of my life. And he became a close personal friend, our granddaughters and his daughters are best buddies, they went to School Together in for ten years. But they still hang out with one another although they go to different schools. Where are you . I am at the university of michigan . What are you doing there . They came up what are you doing there . They came up to see my. Anyway. All inu is i get to pay for the ticket. Anyway. I was never prouder than the day we past obamaca re. Was never prouder than the day we past obamacare. And heres what we are going to do. We are going to expand it. We are going to get rid of all the executive orders that have curtailed it. We will increase funding. Too many families are dealing with cancer, diabetes. African americans, dealing with cancer, diabetes. African america ns, Maternal Health disparities. Look at them. In the United States of america today, today there is an incredible disparity. It is sinful. Its sinful. Its an indictment of the entire system. And by the way, you will know, education is a great equaliser. We need to treated that way. Every child has the same capacity when they are born. Everyone of them has the same capacity. Child deserves a great educator no matter your zip code or income level. Ive put my money where my mouth is. We need funding to give teachers the funding for the pay raise they need. We are losing. We have 115,000 teachers short. It will be a quarter of a million short by 2025. He will get shortchanged . You are downright they are. Who will. We will give outages a pay raise. We will continue the criminal Justice Reform the president and i started. We are going to and all private prisons. And no more jail time for addiction. You go into mandatory treatment. Build more Treatment Facilities cheering. And make sure marijuana convictions, their entire record is expunged and when asked if ever arrested, you will be able to say legally, no, i have not. Folks, lets think about this. Theres so much, and by the way, all these days that are out there legalising marijuana and legalising medical use of it, we should take a big chunk of those profits and put them into Prison Reform and treatment. Treatment, treatment, treatment. We have to be a country of second chances, for god s sake. No, think about it. Well talk about second chances. What we do . Someone gets out of prison or out of a tough spot we say you are denied all the things that can help you. We are going to give you 25 bucks and a bus ticket. You end up under a bridge. We need to eliminate all those barriers to success. Gotta make sure all the collateral consequences eliminated. People coming out of prison and coming back from serving their time and out of recovery, they should be able to get gra nts recovery, they should be able to get grants and housing. They should be able to get all the things that give them a chance. And while they are there we should be teaching them skills. It makes no sense, it makes no sense to keep it a penal system. Look, we are a great country and we have great people, we have the greatest workers in the world, but you should be paid like we are the greatest workers in the world. Applause. The background id come from, not dissimilar, except he was in louisiana and i was in pennsylvania. Too many families working their tails offjust to make ends meet. Too many people i know did what my dad doing, and you know here now in south carolina, made what they call the longest will up a short flight of stairs to tell their son or daughters, sorry, we cant leave there anymore, mummy and daddy dont have a job, you will go and live with grandma for a while. I will make it, will do it. Ill come back and when i can get a place we will bring you all together again. People having trouble keeping the roofs over their heads. When my dad walked up over their heads. When my dad walked up those stairs i remember, 21146 n. Washington ave, was in third grade, he looked at me and said i promise you be all right. He believed it was. He believed in. He was right. Then if you took a shot, you got a chance, youre able to do it. Today think of all the people who cant look at the kids and say we are going to be able to do it, because the deck is stacked the waiters today. It really genuinely is. We have two thirds, we have over 50 of the people who are working class or middle class thing that children will never achieve the same standing they have. What a god awful thing. Its. Itjust they have. What a god awful thing. Its. It just makes they have. What a god awful thing. Its. Itjust makes me mad look, we are going to invest in our families and our communities. We are going to invest in roads and bridges, broadband, water system, school buildings, rural infrastructure, we will invest in the 102030 plan to get finally to those areas that have been left behind, the bulk of what needs to be done. Cheering. And by the way, oh no apologies to anybody for it. It is in the interests of everybody, the wealthy comedy semi wealthy, the middle class, the working class, that everybody does better. When they do everything works for everybody. Everything. Weve got to make sure black and brown families and businesses have the same ability to accumulate wealth. Look, folks, you live in a black neighbourhood you have the same exact house as the guy who lives across the highway in a white neighbourhood, the same house, the same condition, yours is valued at less. You pay more for insurance. How do you get a chance to accumulate wealth . well, tell you what, thats not how you are going to fulfil their dreams. They really mean it. You know, were not going to invest in tax cuts for the wealthy incorporations. The system is already rigged their favour. That 1. 9 trillion that donald trump gave way to the top 2 , we are going to invest in families instead stop by cheering. I really mean it. I mean it. So, were just watching joe biden as he to his supporters in south carolina. And ijust should explain that really, because we have been focusing on New Hampshire, that is where the democratic primary is, polls have closed their as people have been choosing the democratic nominee for president to take on donald trump. Now, in New Hampshire joe biden didnt do very well. Who did well was Bernie Sanders, and there are his supporters waiting patiently there. They have been there for a while, actually, practising the cheering and clapping. At the moment they are looking around waiting for Bernie Sanders to come onto the stage. And when he does we will bring that to you, of course. Right here on bbc world news. Next, moving on to other news.

You can get all the latest sports news at our website thats bbc. Com sport. But from me, and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. Hello there. There really is an awful lot of weather getting thrown our way over the next few days. Eventually well get into something milder and wetter from the atlantic. Right now its cold air and a cold wind driving across the uk and thats pushing in all these shower clouds answer more to come, mainly for the northern half of the uk where, earlier on, of course, it was particularly treacherous across parts of southern scotland. Now the winds are easing down a little bit, allowing temperatures to fall away close to if not below freezing. Ice more likely across scotland, Northern Ireland, and north west england. This is where we are seeing showers continuing overnight and into the morning. And again, some snow, even to low levels for a while. Gradually through the day we will see the winds easing down a bit. We will also see the showers become fewer, more places turning dry, particularly Northern Ireland and much of england and wales during the afternoon. Some sunshine around here. Temperatures similar to what we had on tuesday, but because it wont be as windy it probably wont feel quite as cold. Now towards the south west we will see some changes later on in the day as the cloud thickens and we start to see some showers coming in here. Thats ahead of this main rainband that sweeps its way eastwards, heading northwards it then meets the cold air and slows down. So we will find a mixture of rain and some snow, even to lower levels for a while overnight before lifting onto the hills as that wetter weather slowly peters out. To the south will have some showers, gales running through the english channel, temperatures may make double figures across the southernmost parts of england. But if you are stuck under that cold, wet weather in the north east of england then temperatures only four degrees at best. It should be drying off overnight and by the time we get to early friday may well be some ice, some frost, and a few pockets of mist and fog, too. It wont be as cold though for Northern Ireland, because here winds will be picking up by the morning and we will have some rain, too. The stronger winds will push the rain eastward, snow more likely over the mountains of scotland this time. The rain turning lighter as it runs across england and wales. But because its a southerly wind those temperatures will be higher. It will be turning milder everywhere. Probably not much rain for Eastern England until the evening as that weak weather front move through. And then we look out into the atlantic, deepening area of low pressure heading towards iceland. This is storm dennis. Probably not quite as severe as storm ciara was last weekend, but this weekend we are expecting some widespread gales, the winds could be still gusting, 60 70 mph, probably the biggest impact is likely to be across england and wales from the strength of the wind and some more rain, which will be heavy at times, and that will lead to some more flooding. In syria, rebel held idlib province, hundreds of thousands of civilians are fleeing from the president s forces. Turkish backed rebels have responded by shooting down a helicopter they say was going to bomb civilians stop this port by Quentin Somerville contains some distressing images. The long and winding death of rebel held idlib is quickening. Another 700,000 people fleeing. Among them, in the traffic heading north, this family. This is the biggest exodus since syrias war began. They fear whats behind them more than what lies ahead. Translation we are fleeing from our village towards the Turkish Border because we are in fear for our children and women. Theyve packed up everything they can carry, knowing that they will likely never be back. Translation were leaving our house because of the army. The army executes those who stay here. Bashar al assads forces are tearing at their heels. Air strikes and artillery are redrawing the landscape here as the regime captures more and more territory. The world has stopped counting syrias dead, but in idlib, they dont have that luxury. In the blanket, the charred corpse of another victim. Here, they knew the regime warplanes were coming and ran for cover, but their homes gave them little protection. I cant recognise him. My father or my brother . I dont know, he says. The Turkish Backed rebels and islamist extremists are losing idlib, but today they had a small victory, the downing of a helicopter. The helicopter behind me belongs to the regime, he says in turkish. It was dropping barrel bombs on innocent civilians, women and children. There is no peace here, even for the dead. Returning regime soldiers film themselves desecrating the grave of a rebel commander. The living here are running out of breathing space. Ahmed hasjust been dug out of the rubble after syrian jets attacked a market in idlib city. 17 people died around him. The pleas for a ceasefire, some respite, are ignored. Girl cries. In a nearby bed, an 11 year old screams from shrapnel wounds. She and ahmed will recover, but then what . They will likely end up here, joining many of idlibs other children, clinging on in the sprawling camps at the countrys edge with turkey, a place where people are corralled and forgotten. Once again, idlib is asking for help, but the world has left it and syria behind. Quentin somerville, bbc news.
