CNNW CNN Newsroom Live May 3, 2016

Hello and welcome to our viewers here in the United States and all around the world. Im rosemary church, and this is cnn newsroom. In just a few hours from now, voters in indiana will cast their primary ballots, and the results could be a turning point in the u. S. President ial race. Its all happening in a state in the midwestern u. S. Thats known for its farmland and for being a republican stronghold. 57 republican delegates are at stake, and 92 for the democrats. Well, the latest cnn orc National Poll isnt encouraging for ted cruzs hopes to stop donald trump. The republican frontrunner leads cruz by doubledigits with 49 support. Trump also generates the most enthusiasm among republican voters. 39 say they would be enthusiastic if he won the nomination compared to technical at 21 and john kasich at 16 . Indianas governor, mike pence, says hes backing cruz in the primary, but he will support whoever the republican nominee is. The two campaigned together mond monday. At one stop, some Trump Supporters confronted cruz. Donald trump is a new york liberal who will take away your Second Amendment rights. This man is lying to you, and hes taking advantage of you. And i would encourage you, sir look, i appreciate your being out here speaking. If i were donald trump, i wouldnt have come over and talked to you. I wouldnt have shown you that respect. In fact, you know what i would have done . I would have told the folks over there, go over and punch those guys in the face. Thats what donald does to protesters. Trump meanwhile is looking to put an end to the republican race with a decisive victory tuesday. I just want to thank you all. If we win indiana, its over. Its over [ cheers and applause ] theyre finished. Theyre gone. Theyre gone. Although the crowd was appreciative inside a trump rally in south bend, there were protesters outside. Hundreds of people held signs denouncing trump or spewing hatred. Cruzs running mate, carly fiorina, took a tumble off the stage. It happened while she was introducing cruz at a rally. Cruz didnt seem to notice fiorina fall has he shook hands with people. But trump later seized on the moment. Carlys perfectly nice. By the way, she fell off the stage the other day. Did anybody see that . And cruz didnt do anything. I was even i would have helped her, okay . She just went down. She went down a long way, right . And she went down right in front of him, and he was talking. He kept talking. He didnt even look like that was a weird deal. And on the democrat side, the race is tightening in indiana. Bernie sanders is narrowly trailing Hillary Clinton in that states primary but vows he will not back down. Reporter barnstorming indiana. Bernie sanders is taking a page from Donald Trumps playbook, blasting the democratic primary process. When we talk about a rigged system, its also important to understand how the Democratic Convention works. Reporter sanders sharply criticizing the influence of super delegates. Its the way the system works is you have establishment candidates who win virtually all of the super delegates. It makes it hard for insurgent candidacies like ours to win. Reporter sanders faces a steep deficit in total delegates and is trailing clinton by eight points in a new cnn orc National Poll. Hes looking to regain some momentum with a win in the Hoosier State tuesday. Were going to fight for every last vote. Reporter indiana polls show a tight race with Clinton Holding a fourpoint lead in a new wall street journal nbc news marist survey. Im trying to say, look, im going to tell you what im going to do so you can hold me accountable. Reporter Hillary Clinton campaigning in kentucky, which holds its primary later this month, talking up her plan to revitalize coal country. Its taken a huge hit. Reporter clintons remarks coming on the heels of these comments during a cnn town hall in march. Im the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring Economic Opportunity using clean, Renewable Energy as the key into coal country, because were going to put a lot of coalminers and Coal Companies out of business. Today she said shell put her husband in charge of the effort to bring i told my husband hes got to come out of retirement and be in charge of this. Hes got more ideas a minute than anybody i know. Reporter with clinton closing in on the democratic nomination, shes looking more and more toward the general election, and republican frontrunner donald trump. We cannot let Barack Obamas legacy fall into Donald Trumps hands. Reporter another sign the democratic momentum has shifted, clinton outfund raised sanders, if just barely for the month of april. The first time this year her campaign has bested sanders in any month. President obama used sanders favorite fundraising talking point. Our average contribution is 27. Reporter to inject some lef ith at his speech at the white house correspondents dinner. Bernie, you look like a million bucks, or to put it in terms you understand, you look like 37,000 donations of 27 each. Reporter and poked fun at clintons struggle to appeal to younger voters. Hillary trying to appeal to young voters is a little bit like your relative who just signed up for facebook. Dear america, did you get my poke . Is it appearing on your wall . Reporter joining me now from washington is democratic strategist joe lestingi. Joe, thanks so much for being with us. Thanks for having me. Lets start with the indiana primary. What are the chances that sanders can perhaps pull off a surprise win like he did in michigan . I think the chances are smaller and shrinking by the day. Bernie sanders has put forward a really Good Campaign here. Hes charged the narrative win the Democratic Party. He did have a surprise in michigan, but all that momentum has seemed to stop in recent days and weeks where hillary has come away with some big wins. As we roll into these final states, the math just isnt there for him unfortunately. I voted for bernie. I thought bernie was a great candidate, but its just not in the cards this goaround for him. So i think what were looking at in indiana is a closer race than probably hillary would like, but nonetheless, she will emerge victorious at the end. I do want to take a look at this. A new cnn orc poll among democrats shows a 23 thats nearly a quarter of the party think that that party is divided and will stay that way. So will the party be able to unite after it has a nominee . Is that what its going to take . Absolutely. This has been a contentious primary, but it has been nothing like 2008 was. In 2008 at this point in time, i believe hillary was closer to barack in actual delegate count. At that point in time if you recall, there was a big fight about where all these hillary supporters were going to go. She had more votes than barack did and actual vote counts for primaries. She had won more states. In the end we all came together. In this cycle this year, nothing is going to unite the Democratic Party better than donald trump will. So i think were looking at some mending at the convention. Peoples voices will be heard. As we roll into november, well have a united party Going Forward. I do want to play you some video from outside Hillary Clintons event in West Virginia. Lets just have a quick listen to that. Now, if you cant make that out, those are protesters shouting hillary go home. We want trump. Now, we know in the general election, West Virginia is typically a more republican state. Can we expect to see a lot more of this if clinton is the nominee . I think what were going to see with this with these kind of protests, were going to see these in a lot of states that are very angry and are getting hurt very badly economically. So youre going to see it in some southern states. West virginia, which has been a state that the clintons have campaigned in a lot during their tenure in politics, has gone the other way. Things there i do a lot of work in that state. Things there are not going well. Coal has been a problem. I think hillary is going to goetz on the fastest jet possible and probably never go back. Its a state that loves donald trump, and getting over that hump in the primary is not necessary. When we get to the general election, shes got a whole bunch of other states to build that math to 270. West virginia just isnt one of the one she needs. Of course as weve been pretty much leading on to here, its looking more and more likely that this will be a fight between trump and clinton. And most would agree she will wipe the floor with trump on foreign policy. But whats the strategy for clinton overcoming the mass appeal of trump and how is she planning on winning over Bernie Sanders supporters . I think youre going to see this happen in two phases. The first phase of the democratic is going to be to reassure them about what we stand for as a paerts, about our inclusiveness, about fighting for equal rights for women, the right to choose and Public Education, science funding, thing as long those lines that havent been discussed a lot during the primary sector because bernie has dominated those issues. Hes been talking about free college, free health care, all of these Different Things that the left has been very happy about. Now as we roll into the general election, hillary is going to talk more about those, make the base happy with those positions, and understand that its either her choices here on these issues or the opposite, which is donald trump, which is going to be to eliminate all of this. Get rid of Public Education in this country and the department of education. Set back progressive taxes. Set back health care, undo obamacare, and lets just go back to what hes been saying about women for the past, i dont know, 20 years and say what that means for womens rights. These are things shes going to talk about as we roll into the general election, and its going to be hard for him to run away from his record. Joe lestingi, great to talk with you. It was great to be here. Thank you for having me. From politics to sports, Leicester City has pulled off one of the greatest seasons in football history. In just a year, they went from worst to first in the english premier league, and the title was theirs once secondplace tottenham drew against chelsea on monday. The fans are ecstatic, of course, having waited 132 years for this. And heres what a few of them had to say. We had dreams and this was above it. To come up all this way, i cant put it into words. This is the most beautiful thing about our city. You bring a lot of players from different nations, different parts of the u. K. Together. They gel in a way that no one else expected. And our Christina Macfarlane has been following the foxes in leicester, and she joins us now from there. So, christina, youve been with the fans the morning after the night before. Whats the mood . Reporter thats absolutely right, rosemary. You can probably hear behind me the cars are coming alongside the road here outside the stadium and have been tooting behind us all morning because the party is continuing. We were in the thick of it last night and fans were telling us it was the greatest moment of their lives. A lot of them also telling me how much they won last night. Some fans winning 8,000 pounds, some fans winning 10,000 pounds. Of course the bookies paid out a record 36 million yesterday for the lucky fans who managed to buy one of those bets at the beginning of the season. I just want to draw your attention to some of the papers on the headlines this morning after this incredible sporting triumph. On the guardian here, we have the picture of richard iii. Of course reburied here in leicester a year ago on the front page of the sun, blue don it. And on the back page of the daily mail. This is particularly apt, rosemary, because theres been a bit of video thats been going around on social media of jamie vardy and all the players celebrating at his house here in leicester on the verdict of that final whistle last night. Have a watch. [ screaming ] reporter as you can see, euphoric scenes there, rosemary. I wish wed been a fly on the wall inside his living room last night. Instead, we were out with the thousands of fans who poured out to the city center to celebrate. Its been an incredible 24 hours. Definitely, yeah. What a celebration. And it just keeps continuing, doesnt it . So christina, how is this win likely to transform the club in terms of future prospects and finances . Reporter its interesting, rosemary. You know, Leicester City have only been the sixth club in premier League History to win the title. Next season, of course, theyre going to be playing Champion League football in europe. Now, with the combined earnings of the winning the premier league, Champions League participation and match state revenue, they stand to pick up a windfall of 222 million for their exploits this season. I think the biggest legacy that we have seen in the past 24 hours is that Leicester City have brought the romance back to football. Thats why theyve picked up so many fans, not just leicester fans but fans across the world because they have proved that you dont need money. You dont need to buy the biggest teams to be successful. And that will be their lasting legacy, im sure. Yes. Incredible. And we will continue to watch this as the fans get more and more excited. Christina macfarlane joining us there following the leicester fans. Appreciate that. Well, u. S. Secretary of state john kerry says there has been some progress in talks to restore a ceasefire in syria. Continued violence in the city of aleppo has exacerbated the frailty of that truce and put a strain on the peace talks. Kerry called last weeks attack on a hospital there unconscionable. The u. S. And russia are working to extend the ceasefire to include aleppo. Senior International Correspondent joins us now from moscow where the u. N. Special envoy for syria will meet with russias foreign minister in the coming hours. What can we expect to come out of that meeting . Reporter well, there wasnt much progress announced in concrete terms from the meetings that john kerry had with those arab diplomats and with arab figures and with Staffan De Mistura in geneva yesterday. But the u. N. Special envoy is coming to moscow. Hes going to be meeting the Russian Foreign minister in about three or four hours from now. Theres going to be a News Conference later on in the afternoon as well. Theyre going to spell out hopefully what progress, if any, has been made. Of course, the big issue is what pressure russia is going to be able to bring to bear on the Syrian Government to end its fighting in and around aleppo. There has been in the past ten days or so a huge upswing in violence in that city despite the fact theres been a cessation of hostilities more or less Holding Around various other parts of the country since it was implemented several weeks ago. The question, though, is whether russia is able to put pressure on the Syrian Government at this point and whether it is willing to as well. So hopefully some of those questions are going to be answered later on this afternoon at that press conference with Staffan De Mistura and the Russian Foreign minister here in moscow. When we look at this situation, what does russia realistically want to see happen here . Reporter i mean russias objectives from the beginning have been pretty clear. It wants to support its main ally in the arab world, prevent the Syrian Government from falling. It sees the regime of assad as protecting russias interests in syria first and foremost. Its got military bases there, its got economic interests. But also it sees syria as a sort of foothold that it has in the wider middle east and it wants to preserve that and not let regime change take place there. So thats the fundamental problem when it comes to the diplomacy, the peace talks between the various sides, between the United States and russia and the various syrian factions as well, the various arab countries involved in this conflict. All sides back different horses in the race, if you like. The Saudi Foreign minister yesterday in geneva, after meetings with john kerry, said that he wanted to make sure that the syrian president , Bashar Al Assad was ousted from power whether by diplomacy or by force. Thats something the russians are diametrically opposed to as ive mentions. Thats the basic fault line. What will be the future of Bashar Al Assad and that has not been decided as yet. 10 18 in the morning there in moscow. Thank you for that report. Well take a very short break here. Still to come, a brazilian boxer is fighting against all odds. We will look at his rise from the mean streets of rio for a shot at olympic gold. Back in a moment.
