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.

This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom.

:17:34.:17:35.

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
