Trump currently stands at 739 delegates, and there are three types of states that have still yet to vote. You have winnertakeall state, hybrid states which award their delegates based on a combination of the results in the congressional districts and some other standards, and proportional states which award their delegates based on the overall vote total. Lets assume trump continues at the same pace as he has throughout this primary process. And well award him all of the winnertakeall states, 76 of the delegates in hybrid states and 49 of the delegates in proportional states. Now if we were to do that, trump would be at 1,138 delegates before the last day of voting on june 7th. But june 7th is a big day there are some big states voting, including california and new jersey. There are 303 delegates at stake. But if trump were to perform at the same clip, as you can see, he would easily get over the 1,237 mark and win the republican nomination. But this is an unpredictable election. A lot could happen. Lets say donald trump do as well in the hybrid states and we drop his performance to only 50 of the available delegates. Watch how the number changes, and he comes dangerously close to that 1,237 mark. And lets say he loses some winnertakeall states like montana and nebraska. If that were to happen, he would actually fall below the 1,237 mark and we could be headed to a contested convention. So as you can see, a lot can happen over the next several weeks. But right now the delegate math shows us that donald trump is in the best position to win the republican nomination. In washington, im ryan nobles. Ryan, thanks. And when it comes to math, Ohio Governor john kasich presently has no mathematical chance of winning the republican delegate count outright. But he is stay manage the race. Yes. The governor says he thinks he is in a good position to come out in top in a brokered convention in which no candidate has the majority of delegates in the first round of voting. Ted cruz needs about 90 of the delegates Going Forward to win. Thats just not going to happen. And trump needs about 60 , and thats not going to happen either. Look, when delegates go the a convention, and ive been at conventions, they get to be very serious about two things. One, who can win in the fall. And im the only one that consistently beats Hillary Clinton. And secondly, delegates feel the weight of decision on their shoulders. And they begin to think about who actually could run the country, who has the experience, who has the vision, who has had success in the past. Well just have to keep watching to see what happens. But you of course can get your fix any time on our website. We have the latest polls, Election Results and indepth reporting. You can find it at cnn. Com politics. Now to a fight for a level Playing Field in the world of soccer. Players on the u. S. Womens team are calling for equal pay to their male counterpart citing better results and stronger financial returns. Theyve been winning. The women filed a complaint wednesday evening with the equal Employment Opportunity commission. Thats the u. S. Agency that enforces equal pay law. Goalkeeper hope solo explained the decision to nbcs today program. Its a pain to be told we can be grateful just to have the opportunity to play professional soccer and to get paid for doing it. And in this day and age, you know, its about equality. Its about equal rights. Its about equal pay. And were pushing for that we believe now is the time is right because we believe its our responsibility for womens sports. Right. And specifically for womens soccer. And the numbers are on their side. They make for a strong argument here. Male players can earn more than 17,000 for an exhibition match against a top opponent, according to the court document. And they get no less than 5,000 even if the team loses. But women are paid a maximum of less than 5,000 even if they win every game. The mens team earned 9 million in the 2014 world cup for losing in the round of 16 while the women made just 2 million when they won. The 2015 championship. The u. S. Governing body released a statement reading the following, quote, u. S. Soccer will continue to be an advocate on the global soccer stage to influence and develop the womens a game. And involve fifas compensation model. Notably, it did not give any specifics on the compensation model. Earlier i spoke with sports commentator, the author of end zone, the rise and return of michigan football. I asked whether the women were making a valid case for equality in this case. It should be noted also that the womens team itself has generated more money by far, by 20 million last year in 2015 than the mens team did. So their case is not only based on how well theyre getting paid but how much theyre winning, but how much money theyre generating for the u. S. Soccer federation. By those three bases right there, pretty clearly they should be getting paid at least as much as the men. They might even argue more than the men. Can i ask you, is the reason theyre generating more money, does that come down to their generating more interest because theyre a hot team . Winning does sell, doesnt it . It certainly does help. Furthermore, in the u. S. , of course, and you know being an american, that with title ix, there are millions of girls who revere these women as their heroes. They have a natural base of fans. Men and women watch the game. And tim howard, a former mens star and Landon Donovan have already come out strongly in favor of this action. So theyve got the support i think almost the entire nation. Youve got this marquee, if you will, lawsuit. Because looking at the them now, these are the stars of the u. S. Womens soccer team. So this case, john, could become a touchstone in the debate that were hearing in the election cycle about the pay gap between men and women. Couldnt it . I dare say it will be. In fact, you have to say the women, their timing could not be better. They won the world cup, of course, last year in canada, 2015. And they won three of those. They made more money than the men. It is an olympic year, 2016, of course, in rio. And trust me, the u. S. Soccer federation, the usoc, even ioc has to have the american women there in order to get american tv ratings. And its one of the craziest election cycles of all time. One of the items on the docket is fair pay for women, of course. This feeds exactly into all those agendas. I think their odds of winning are excellent. And i want to ask you this. If these women prevail and they likely should, what do you think we will hear as far as, will we, the reasoning that it hasnt been fair . Man, were dealing with irrational behavior, youll get irrational answer, of course. Youre going to claim its less popular. Its not. Theyre going to complain that theyre not as good. Thats not true. Theyre world cup champions. Any logical reason that you can give me that theyre not to be paid the same simply breaks down very quickly. So youre going the hear all kinds of crazy stuff. But it will be crazy stuff. The women here have got in my opinion a rock solid case. We look forward to the outcome. And we look forward to seeing what you write about it. John bacon joining us. Thank you so much, john. Natalie, thank you. And of course, when there is an outcome, you will hear it here. Go, gals absolutely. Theyre winning. Theyre wing.

Right here is priceville. You may see that particular cell, that bright red cell that moved across the region that was indicative of the cell that produced the tornado, at least primarily. Thats what theyre saying. Some damage. We did see reports of hail and high winds and trees and power lines down. But no reports, amazingly, of any injuries. Now, it looks like as we go into the next 12 to 24 hours, just in the vicinity of georgia, augusta, georgia all the way over to montgomery, georgia in the deep south, we could see as much as 6 inches of rainfall. Most areas not expecting that much. But nonetheless, because of these lingers systems, the ground is saturated. We could see some localized flooding. Here are some of the tornado reports we had earlier. Its still a very volatile situation across the deep south. But now were starting to see an increase amount of lightning in South Central sections of georgia and still lingering in alabama. Although it looks like its calming down because you dont get the heat of the day. With the cooler temperature, youre not going see the thunderstorms fire up quite a bit.

The allnew audi a4, with apple carplay integration. Welcome back to newsroom. South africas highest court has ordered president jacob zuma to pay back part of the 15 million that he used to renovate his private residence. After an investigation in 2014, the president was ordered to reimburse the government for upgrades not related to the security of the home, like the Swimming Pool and the amphitheater. But mr. Zuma never paid the money back. On thursday, the court said his failure to do so violated the constitution. All the president was required to do was to comply. Arguably, he did, but only without reporting to the national assembly. The president has thus failed to uphold, defend and respect the constitution as the supreme law of the land. President zuma says he will now cooperate with the ruling. In the u. S. State of alabama, Governor Robert Bentley is refusing to resign in the face of a deepening scandal over an alleged extramarital affair. His top aide, the other woman named in that alleged affair has now resigned from her position in the governors office. Here is cnns alina machado. Today i want to apologize to the people of the state of alabama. Reporter alabama Governor Robert Bentley under fire, but refusing to resign after being accused of an affair with one of his top aides, rebecca mason. The allegations surfaced after sexually explicit recordings of him became public. I stand behind you, and i put my arms around you, and i put my hands on your breasts, and i put my hands on you and pull you close, i love that too. Reporter the 73yearold republican is the only voice heard on the tape, but he publicly apologized to mason and her family. The governor, who doesnt deny the legitimacy of the recordings say they were made two years ago. At the time the governor and mason each were married. Were going to do what we did the other day, were going to are to start. It was a time in my life that i had made inappropriate comment. Reporter bentley and his wife have since divorced. He maintains i have never had a physical affair with mrs. Mason. I can assure the people of alabama that as their governor, i have never done anything illegal. Reporter the governor has been under mougntin pressure to resign since spencer collier, the governors former Law Enforcement chief, held a News Conference last week to accuse bentley of having an affair and inappropriately using resources to cover up relationship. The governor fired collier the day before for alleged wrongdoing. At least one Alabama State lawmaker, ed henry, says he intends to start the impeachment process next week. Mason, meanwhile, resigned from her post wednesday, saying in a statement my only plans are to focus my full attention on my precious children and my husband, who i love dearly.
