Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump need wins in New York | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
to secure their positions at the front of the pack and put | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Kabul sees its most deadly attack in years - | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
We'll be looking at the gains the Taliban has made. | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
The death toll has reached five in Huston due to the rainfall. | :00:42. | :01:02. | |
If you have got questions about what we are covering, here is the hashtag | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
to use. Straight to New York for the | :01:10. | :01:31. | |
primaries. Both the Democrats and Republicans voting on who they want | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
to their presidential nominees. There is Hillary Clinton. She has | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
voted because she is registered in New York State. She has a close | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
relationship with this part of the world. Win this one and she has just | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
about got the nomination. The man who would not agree with that | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
analysis is Bernie Sanders. He has won seven of the last eight | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
contests, but the race will be one in terms of delegates and he is a | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
long way behind. This man is centre stage. He was born in Queens and | :02:14. | :02:23. | |
owns a lot of Manhattan. He wants to finish the race before the | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
Republicans get to their annual conference. People are increasingly | :02:26. | :02:37. | |
interested in this man, Ted Cruz. If you took this one it would be a | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
shock. This is where we are before the results in New York come in. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
Hillary Clinton has a healthy lead in the Democrat race over Bernie | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Sanders. Almost 700 delegates ahead. She has got to get close to 2400 to | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
win. Let us learn about some of the | :02:59. | :03:13. | |
motivations behind the vote people will cast. This focus is on three | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
voters. Some of my friends are well educated and under employed. The | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
regular hands on jobs are not around any more. Life can be difficult, | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
particularly after the economic collapse we have had, but it is not | :03:33. | :03:42. | |
all that bad out there. Right now I am in my studio in Crown Heights | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
which is a region education neighbourhood. I have had a lease | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
here since 2011 and it has gone up by a factor of two. It is offensive | :03:54. | :04:08. | |
to beat told that beings -- offences to be told certain things are | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
impractical. We need people to stand up and make a political revolution. | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
He wants to be more like Europe. Spend more on education and health. | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
It is not radical, it is pretty fundamental. I grew up in a earlier | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
generation where children were to be seen and not heard. Those of a | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
certain age were expected to be married. In terms of having a | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
career, your career was having a child and husband to take care of. I | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
had a I'm ready for Hillary sticker at least a year and a half ago. It | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
could be any woman who has experienced the struggles I have and | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
he does not get knocked down. She is moving forward for all of us and | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
that is what makes her worthy of being called Madame President. Trump | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
is a fighter. I am a fighter. We need someone who will fight for us. | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
It got to the point where you could not work and pay your bills, but the | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
Mexicans were working for at least half the pay, sometimes even less. | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
When Trump came up with the immigration thing, the first thing | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
out of the gate was we are going to build a wall and send 11 million | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
illegals back home. I thought this man is talking my language. That is | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
one vote for Donald Trump. Let us bring in one of our correspondence | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
to talk about this. New York is a big city, New York state bigger | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
still. How any people will vote in these primaries? Is it affecting the | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
majority of people? No, not the majority vote in primaries. It is | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
usually be diehards who turn out and vote. However, we have had some | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
record turnouts. I haven't seen that in New York the way we saw that in | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
Wisconsin. The mayor was worried that Democratic voter registration | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
was down. I'm not sure if we can read anything into that. What was | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
fascinating about the three voters you showed was that they represent | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
the spectrum of New York. A lot of people go to New York and they go to | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
Manhattan and that is as far as they get. This is a diverse state. There | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
are areas of New York that are poor, working-class and white. Upstate New | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
York is a different country from New York City and those are the bits of | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
New York where Donald Trump is hoping to do particularly well. And | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
what are the poll saying about how this will go? You will be hard | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
pushed to find a poll that does not put Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
constantly ahead. We would be gobsmacked if either of them lost, | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
but it will be down to how much they win by. Donald Trump wants to win by | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
enough around this date to pick up a big majority of those 95 Republican | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
delegates who are up for grabs. Hillary Clinton would like to win by | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
a big percentage. If she winds by 10% in New York, she can then turn | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
round more convincingly and say to the Bernie Sanders camp, I am | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
winning suddenly now. We have enough people behind us. If used they in | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
the race it will only hurt the Democratic party. If we look back to | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
previous elections, what connections can we make between the policies we | :07:59. | :08:08. | |
here in the primaries, do any of these policy statements have any | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
connection with what the winner does during the presidential election and | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
when they get to the White House if they get that far? Hillary Clinton | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
has brought this up to in the course of the campaign. She says you | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
campaign in poetry and govern in prose. She is saying it is all very | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
well to promise the moon, as Bernie Sanders is doing, but delivering | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
that indeed divided system of government America has is difficult. | :08:34. | :08:51. | |
Look at President Barack Obama. If whoever is elected has a Sennett and | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
a Congress that comes from the other party, it is going to be very | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
difficult for any of these nominees to deliver on a tiny portion of what | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
they are promising to voters. When to be find out who has won New | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
York? We will know pretty quickly after the polls have closed. We will | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
be looking for the margins and it will depend on what happens in | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
upstate New York. Thank you. Let us switch from the US to Afghanistan. | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
It has been a bloody day in Kabul. One of the deadliest attacks in | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
years. At least 20 people died. Over 300 were injured. This explosion | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
took place in the Central district close to the ministry of defence and | :09:40. | :09:47. | |
the presidential palace. Our correspondent went to the scene and | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
filed this report. This building is the target of the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
suicide bombers. They started their earlier attacked with a car bomb and | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
then a number of insurgents got into the building. This is the building | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
for the protection of important dignitaries. Opposite is the defence | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
ministry and over there if the presidential palace. As we speak, | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
there is no more fighting going on. There is no firing here, but | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
security forces are here in full force in order to contain the | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
attackers. President Ghani has said this attack shows the loss and | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
weaknesses of insurgents in the real battlefields. | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
Here is a tweet from President Ghani. | :10:45. | :10:58. | |
Not everyone would agree with the analysis that they are making | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
progress against the Taliban. Here is a map of Afghanistan. All of the | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
purple and orange areas are regions that are either supportive of the | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Taliban or controlled by the group and those areas have expanded since | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
2013. 2014, I apologise. That is when the bulk of British and | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
American and other Nato forces left. A week ago the Taliban did warn us | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
these attacks were coming. It said it was starting its spring | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
defensive. That is a term we hear every year. We asked our | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
correspondence to explain what that means. The spring offensive is an | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
annual operation by the Taliban and the people who oppose the Afghan | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
government. It starts usually in spring, as the name says because the | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
weather at that time is better. The argument is that the fighters can | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
move around. Kabul is snowing in the winter and it is difficult for them | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
to operate in such a mountainous environment. For them it is easier | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
to operate and bring down their opposition, which is the Afghan | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
government in their views. And also they send their fighters to rest | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
during winter times. They call it a spring operation because it start in | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
spring. We have been to the US and Afghanistan. Next to China. This is | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
Kathy Chen. She is Twitter's new managing director in China. It | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
emerges that she used to be in the Chinese military. It is difficult to | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
gauge what people will think of that. We can't comment without | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
getting into trouble, but people outside of mainland China can and | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
they are not happy. We learnt about it from the state broadcaster, | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
telling us that Kathy Chen had been appointed. She then replied saying, | :13:06. | :13:14. | |
let us work together to tell great China stories to the world. The | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
concern with that week is that she feels CCTV other people to do this, | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
given that this is a state broadcaster that is regularly | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
reminded to follow orders from the Chinese Communist Party. The BBC | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
does have a blog and the analysis was written on our China blog by a | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
journalist called Stephen McDonald. He recorded his analysis for Outside | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
Source. Here I am inside the great firewall of China where I, like | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
everybody else, is subject to this country's strict controls on the | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
Internet. Here in the Beijing bureau of the BBC we have a VPN. By | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
clicking on that we can jump over the great firewall of China. There I | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
am clicking on Twitter. That is my site. The same goes for Facebook, | :14:11. | :14:22. | |
YouTube and other blocked sites. But Twitter has been especially | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
important here because it seems to be the platform of choice for many | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
activists, both in China and overseas, and they use it to | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
criticise the government. So when Twitter decided to appoint a new | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
China managing director, it certainly got their attention and I | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
think it will be fair to say they have been freaking out about it. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Kathy Chen used to be an engineer in the Chinese military. She also | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
worked for a company that had financial links to China's Ministry | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
of Public Security. The implication from some seems to be that because | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
of this she may have played a role in tracking down on freedom of | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
speech. But you how to ask how fair that is. Does that mean nobody who | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
has worked in the Chinese military can ever be trusted to work in | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
social media? Another company she worked for built the great firewall | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
of China, or at least help to build it. Now again, does that mean that | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
anyone who has worked for Cisco cannot be trusted or cannot be in | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
ploy to work in social media sites dedicated to freedom of speech? What | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
she will be useful is to try and drum up advertising revenue and to | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
build corporate links for Twitter. This company unlike Facebook and | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
others seems to have accepted it is not going to be unblocked here and | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
it is going to make the best of it as it is. So whatever Kathy Chen was | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
back history, I certainly hope she has strapped herself in because it | :15:55. | :15:55. | |
is going to be a rocky road ahead. If you're interested in China look | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
up the BBC's China blog. We're going to be talking about another giant, | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
because Yahoo! Is going to be releasing its results shortly. This | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
is of particular interest to those companies, lots of people are | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
thought to be considering bidding for the company. | :16:18. | :16:28. | |
Now here in the UK, Michael Gove has outlined how he believes the UK's | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
economy could thrive outside the European Union. Mr Gove is one of | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
the leading figures in the vote Leave group. He says the UK could be | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
part of a European free trade zone and strike a deal to allow Britain | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
to trade with Europe, but not abide by Europe's laws. Those arguing to | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
remain in the EU claim Mr Gove is labouring under a serious | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
misunderstanding of the EU. The idea that if Britain voted to | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
leave the European Union, we would instantly become some sort of hermit | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
kingdom, a North Atlantic North Korea, only without that country's | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
fund of international goodwill. LAUGHTER It's a fantscy. It's a | :17:09. | :17:17. | |
phantom. It's a great, grotesque, patronising Peter Mandelsonian | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
deceit. That imagines that the people of this country arm your | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
children capable of being frightened into obedience. | :17:26. | :17:33. | |

New Yorkers are voting in the presidential primaries. | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
Wins for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will secure their | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
BBC Afrique is reporting the US ambassador to the UN has | :17:44. | :17:55. | |
expressed her great sorrow, after her motorcade | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
accidentally hit and killed a seven-year-old boy in Cameroon. | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
She was there to show support for the campaign against Boko Haram. | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
Samantha Power says she met the boy's family to offer | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
BBC Hindi reports that the Indian government has said it will not | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
try to reclaim a priceless diamond that forms part of the | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
The Kohinoor diamond came into British hands in | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
And a copy of an arch from Palmyra in Syria has been erected | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
here in Trafalgar Square here in London. | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
The idea is to highlight the damage done in Palmyra, | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
while it was controlled by the Islamic State group. | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
A couple of weeks ago I was at a media conference in Mumbai. All of | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
the discussions revolved around the smartphone market in India and the | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
three and 4 G networks that will support them of the the mobile | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
internet is seen as central to India's future. The evidence is | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
there, it's one of the fastest growing markets in the world for | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
phones. With the new launch almost every | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
week, Indian consumers are spoilt for choice. The smartphone boom is | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
being driven by what's called the replacement market, low cost | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
smartphones give users here an affordable opportunity to upgrade | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
from so-called feature phones or phones that do not easily access the | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
internet. According to IDC, South Korean techen giant Samsung leads | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
the market with 26. 8% share. Micro-Max has the second biggest | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
share. Lenovo has the third position. So what do Indians look | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
for when buying a smartphone? The first thing is the price. So I get | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
to know the price, price band in which I need to buy a phone. After | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
that, I look for features. The main being a camera. Because I am a | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
selfie kind a person. I look for the camera. For me, it's always the | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
features. I'll go for the features as compared to the price. If it | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
works for the price I will definitely go for that. Creo, a new | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
start up, which has raised $3 million in funding launched its | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
first smartphone, targeting young tech savvy Indians, the company asks | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
users to suggest ideas and features which they add through software | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
updates every month. I think software is the real difference. | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
That is why the whole philosophy of us being able to deliver a new phone | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
experience every month, by the means of updates, is so valid. A user can | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
now experience knewer features month after month and the phone is going | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
to get better, better, better as you keep using it. Priced at around | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
$300, the phones don't come cheap. The real demand in India is for | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
phones under $100. With smartphone sales in China, North America | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
expected to be flat in 2016, India's one of the few markets promising | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
growth. So consumers here can drive a hard bargain. Next Netflix. For | :21:21. | :21:30. | |
years the Netflix story has been one of success. So when its shares fell | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
because news had been released of slower than expected subscriber | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
growth, this rapidly became a big story. Globally, Netflix is telling | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
us it has 81. 5 million users, for the first quarter this year. That's | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
below expectation. It's also expected to fall below expectations | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
come the end of June, the end of the second quarter to the opportune of | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
2. 3 million subscribers, below where it would like to be. That begs | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
the question - what is going on here. Let's bring in our BBC | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
correspondent to help us out. Has something gone drastically wrong or | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
is it just a blip? I think it all has to do with competition, | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
competition and competition. If you look back a couple of years ago, | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
Netflix was a pioneer in this area of subscription service video | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
streaming. Now there are many new entrants. If you look in the last | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
month, Amazon is launching a similar subscription-style service for users | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
of its services. You've got content makers like CBS, like Showtime and | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
other cable operators here in the US, like HBO, launching streaming | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
services direct to customers. This is all eating Netflix's lunch. | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
That's why you're seeing concerns amongst investors about the future | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
and in terms of the number of subscriptions it's able to add in | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
the future. Netflix was hoping to diversify and opening up shop in | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
more international markets, but clearly, it hasn't done enough to | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
convince investors that all is all right. Speaking of companies which | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
have to do something to convince investors, let's talk about Yahoo! . | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
It's got the latest figures out. That's right. The revenue there has | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
fallen. I think the key question for this company, that everyone wants to | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
know is what does the future hold? We're waiting for an investor call, | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
that should start shortly. We know that the company is trying to sell | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
its internet service. It closed the first round of the time table for | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
bids to be accepted ended on Monday. Actually, interest was a bit | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
disappointing. People are going to want to hear more from the company | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
during this conference call to see what's going to happen next. | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
Michelle, when it does, I'm sure you will keep us posted. Thank you very | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
much. Let's pick up on that story. There's | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
a huge amount of speculation over who might be interested in buying | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
the internet side of Yahoo! 'S business. Who might the possible | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
buyers be? I've used Yahoo! Since 2001. It's | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
fine. I have no problems with it. I think I just use it because it's | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
easy and familiar. I would feel sad if Yahoo! Weren't around. It's like | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
an old friend, you know? The company's struggling financially. | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
Take a look at the share price. Investors haven't been happy with | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
the company's performance, until in February, Yahoo! Announced that its | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
open to selling its core business. Since then, its share price has | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
risen by some 30%. Yahoo! Management is feeling pressure from their | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
shareholders to pursue a possible course of sale. This current | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
management team has had three years, spent billions of dollars in | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
acquisitions. Revenue is going to decline by double digits in this | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
quarter. Who is interested in buying Yahoo! ? There are reportedly dozens | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
of companies including US telecom giant Verizon, Google and the owner | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
of the British newspaper Daily Mail. A big part of what makes Yahoo! | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
Appealing to buyers is its stake in China's e-commerce giant Alibaba. | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
The stake is worth $30 billion, much more than yew hoo's core business. | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
But the popularity of its search engine is also attractive to those | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
who think they can do a better job of making money from the internet | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
business. I want to show you these | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
unbelievable pictures in China. This is a bull dozer fight between two | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
rival construction companies. They really go at it. Five, six bull | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
dozers get involved. They were competing for business. Though | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
clearly this is an unusual way of convincing someone to give you a | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
contract. As you'll see, this one ends up on its side, despite - like | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
robot wars - two people were slightly injured. | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
Incredible footage of the flooding in Texas and there's further heavy | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
rain to come here. This is the radar image. The bright colours, the | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
yellows is where the heaviest rain is. You can see in Houston in | :26:22. | :26:22. |
