Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

The lead story for the past few hours has been what's happening

SPEAKER: a major counterterrorist operation is taking place in one

suburb of the city. One suspect has been shot dead after several

officers including a female French officer were injured during a raid.

It's a really important day in the US primaries.

Five states are voting for their presidential candidates -

The stakes couldn't be higher for Donald Trump's rivals.

I want to play you this report a little later.

It consists only of Syrian children describing how five years

And in sport, we will bring you up-to-date on the Champions League

and the cricket World Cup 2020. -- Twenty20.

It's being dubbed Super Tuesday Two - five states are voting in US

presidential primaries today, and they could prove decisive

as much for those trying to stay in the race

is significantly ahead of Bernie Sanders.

That takes into account the super delegates that have pledged

For the Republicans - Donald Trump is ahead of Ted Cruz

by almost 100 delegates - Marco Rubio and John Kasich

The states voting today are Illinois, Missouri,

Ohio and this state - Florida. It's Marco Rubio's home state.

He has to win it to have any chance of getting the nomination.

Let's go to Nick Bryant who is in Miami, Florida for us.

So he has to win it. Does it look possible? Donald Trump is going to

win Miami, I think. Little doubt about that. Marco Rubio hoped that

Florida, his home state, would give him a big victory. It is a winner

takes all state, which means the delegates are not apportioned

proportionately. The person who wins that is all 99. That is why it is

the biggest prize yet in the Republican nomination race. Rubio

hoped he could pull off a victory here, but he is languishing way

behind in the polls. His political obituary is frankly already being

written. Mark Twain may have said, the reports of my death are dredged.

Alas for Marco Rubio, he cannot claim that now. He is going to

suffer a political defeat and will have to drop out. This race has been

as much about personality as policy, while what is deciding the way

people vote on the Republican side? People like the fact that Donald

Trump isn't a politician. The problem for Marco Rubio is that he

is an establishment favourite in an anti establishment year. Bernie

Sanders on the Democratic side has been a beneficiary of that as well.

People like Donald Trump telling it as it is. It sounds extreme, vulgar

and racist too many, but a lot of Americans like that kind of straight

talking. They believe it is just what Washington needs, a city that

has been in a state of gridlock for so long. If Donald Trump wins a

sweep to my comedy becomes almost unstoppable. It is hard to see

anybody holding his progress towards the Republican nomination. But he

could suffer a defeat in Ohio. John Kasich is a popular guy over there.

Two guys into his governorship, he has a 65% approval rating, and he is

hoping he can translate that the polarity into a win in Ohio. John

Kasich believes if he can win Ohio, he suddenly becomes the great rival

to Donald Trump and it bends the entire race. Thank you very much.

Let's speak to Katty Kay in Washington from the World News

America studio. John Kasich is trying to win in Ohio, but is he

really a contender? Could that propel him into the Republican

establishment's choice? I am not sure that being the Republican

establishment's choice is much of an advantage. Look what happened to

Marco Rubio, the darling of the establishment. But it could keep him

in the race. That is important, because so far, there is a lot of

debate about how to stop the Trump. Do you stop him by this becoming a

two person race, Donald Trump versus Ted Cruz, and Ted Cruz takes votes

away from Donald Trump, or do you keep as many people in the race as

possible, and that chips away at Donald Trump's ability to get into

the brokered convention in July? Florida is interesting, because

Marco Rubio is down there. Donald Trump will be there as well. Nick

Bryant is there as well. But I am watching Ohio tonight, because I

want to see what happens with John Kasich and whether Donald Trump

makes inroads among the people we might have called Reagan Democrats,

white, working-class voters, men, who perhaps in the past might have

voted Democrat but this time switching to Donald Trump. It will

be a very interesting state to watch. We inevitably spend more time

talking about the Republican standard Democrats because it has

Donald Trump and it is more complex, but the New York Times has won an

analysis suggesting that Donald Trump has received millions of

dollars worth of free media coverage, the point being, has the

media been fair, or has it played Donald Trump's game's undoubtedly,

if you look at the minutes per day, Donald Trump is getting hands down

more minutes. At one point, he was getting nine times as much air time

as any of his Republican competitors. And you could throw the

Democrats in with that as well. He is a larger-than-life figure and he

is a story, because he has done extremely well. He's not a

conventional politician. Nobody thought he was going to do this

well. I said this back in June and I was wrong. So he has been worth

covering. The result has been that he has had to spend very little of

his own money on television advertising, and he calls into

programmes the whole time. You can't get through watching cable

television here without Donald Trump calling in. He has made himself

accessible. He has defied expectations and if he wins the

nomination, you have to give him a shot at being the next president of

the United States. But it has meant that he has been able to save his

resources, and it has given him at huge amount of name recognition, no

doubt. Let's could you talk about the Democrats. I alluded briefly to

the super delegates earlier. For those who are not students of US

politics, who are they and why does it matter in terms of who has the

best chance out of Clinton or Sanders? The super delegates are a

group of party grandees. There are local councilman, members of the

Democratic National committee. They are the top bigwigs in the

Democratic party and they get a vote at the convention as well. This time

around, the super delegates have all declared early on that they will be

for Hillary Clinton. Let me remind you of some history. In 2008, the

super delegates did the same honour they declared that they would be for

Hillary Clinton. Fast forward to later in the campaign, and Barack

Obama is doing well and looks like he's going to get the nomination,

and the super delegates switch allegiance and go for Barack Obama.

They will go for whoever is the front runner, but it is a slightly

undemocratic process and the Bernie Sanders camp is not happy about the

super delegates declaring so early for Hillary Chin to. I am sure we

will speak later in the week. By the way, Donald Trump, if you want to

call feature-macro, give us a ring any time! If you want to follow how

these primaries go for Mr Trump and anyone else, do follow BBC Two.

And if you're in the UK - do tune into BBC 2 for

the beginning of a four part series on US President Barack Obama's time

And we will have full coverage of these primary results as they come

through, but don't expect them any time soon. Were talking a few hours

down the line. In a few minutes' time, we will play

you this report. It is a moving series of interviews with Syrian

children, talking about the impact the last five years has had on their

lives. A group of parents went

to the British Parliament today calling for all children up to 11

to be vaccinated against The Government says it

would not be cost-effective. Currently, the vaccine

is only given to infants. The faces of some of the children

struck by meningitis who have helped Their stories encouraged record

numbers of people to sign what is now Parliament's largest

ever online petition. Today, their parents went to see MPs

to call for the vaccine for meningitis B to be

extended to more children. Among them, former England rugby

captain Matt Dawson, I know, and my wife

knows, we are lucky that we are in a position

where we can These parents want the meningitis B

vaccine to be made available The father who started the petition

was told one of his daughters We are a modern country,

not a Third World country. This two-month-old is having

the meningitis B vaccine. The UK is the first place in Europe

to offer it routinely, but only

for children under the age of one. The Government said it is not

cost-effective to extend This is one of the labs

where the meningitis B vaccine It is an alarming disease,

because of the speed and severity But it is also a rare disease,

and over the past ten years in the UK, the number

of cases has been declining. That is part of the reason

the Government's scientific advisers have not

recommended that older children should

get the meningitis B vaccine. They made their decision

on the best evidence available. On that basis, under ones,

it is appropriate to give it to them, but for older children

it would cost such a lot and

would mean they could not spend There is a question

about whether young adults At 21, he got meningitis

B and lost both Young people are most likely

to transmit the disease, and some

scientists want to see whether vaccinating them

would protect the whole population. This is Outside Source,

live from the BBC newsroom. There's been a shootout at a house

in Belgium during a police operation linked to last year's

attacks in Paris. Latest reports say one

attacker has been killed. World News America will have

a special programme looking at what's being called

Super Tuesday 2.0. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton

will both be aiming to secure In the UK, you have the news channel

or if you switch to BBC Two, you have a programme about President

Obama. Let's bring you the sport. We go

live to the BBC Sport Centre now. Olly Foster is with us. Man City are

looking pretty good. They are. They are 3-1 up. But not such a super

choose Day in the Champions League. No goals at half-time in either of

those games. A good cushion for Manchester City for them to, you

would think, reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the

first time. There were two injuries to Vincent Kompany. After five

minutes, he kicked the ball out, slumped onto his backside and

signalled to the bench, that is it, game over for him, and off he

hobbled with a calf problem again. And Nicolas Otamendi, his fellow

centre half, had a collision with a Kiev player, a dead leg. He has gone

as well. So Manchester City were without their two first choice

centre halves. No goals, but they do have that 3-1 advantage from the

first leg. We appreciate that update. Those of

you watching online can get full coverage.

Let's talk about the world Twenty20 cricket which has begun in India.

Quite a first game. India are the favourites, but they lost by 47

runs. The Black Caps have described it as quite a result. Let's run

through how the game went. One of the best-known statisticians of the

game pointed out that the target is the lowest ever that India has

failed to chase down at a Twenty20 International. But the Indians

didn't get close. They were all out for 79. As the Guardian put it, they

were skittled. If you want full coverage of this, you can get it all

through the BBC Sport website. Just click on cricket.
