:01:03. > :01:09.If you have got questions about what we are covering, here is the hashtag
:01:10. > :01:31.to use. Straight to New York for the
:01:32. > :01:35.primaries. Both the Democrats and Republicans voting on who they want
:01:36. > :01:42.to their presidential nominees. There is Hillary Clinton. She has
:01:43. > :01:45.voted because she is registered in New York State. She has a close
:01:46. > :01:52.relationship with this part of the world. Win this one and she has just
:01:53. > :02:01.about got the nomination. The man who would not agree with that
:02:02. > :02:08.analysis is Bernie Sanders. He has won seven of the last eight
:02:09. > :02:13.contests, but the race will be one in terms of delegates and he is a
:02:14. > :02:23.long way behind. This man is centre stage. He was born in Queens and
:02:24. > :02:25.owns a lot of Manhattan. He wants to finish the race before the
:02:26. > :02:37.Republicans get to their annual conference. People are increasingly
:02:38. > :02:44.interested in this man, Ted Cruz. If you took this one it would be a
:02:45. > :02:50.shock. This is where we are before the results in New York come in.
:02:51. > :02:55.Hillary Clinton has a healthy lead in the Democrat race over Bernie
:02:56. > :02:58.Sanders. Almost 700 delegates ahead. She has got to get close to 2400 to
:02:59. > :03:13.win. Let us learn about some of the
:03:14. > :03:22.motivations behind the vote people will cast. This focus is on three
:03:23. > :03:28.voters. Some of my friends are well educated and under employed. The
:03:29. > :03:32.regular hands on jobs are not around any more. Life can be difficult,
:03:33. > :03:42.particularly after the economic collapse we have had, but it is not
:03:43. > :03:49.all that bad out there. Right now I am in my studio in Crown Heights
:03:50. > :03:53.which is a region education neighbourhood. I have had a lease
:03:54. > :04:08.here since 2011 and it has gone up by a factor of two. It is offensive
:04:09. > :04:15.to beat told that beings -- offences to be told certain things are

:04:22. > :04:28.He wants to be more like Europe. Spend more on education and health.
:04:29. > :04:35.It is not radical, it is pretty fundamental. I grew up in a earlier
:04:36. > :04:41.generation where children were to be seen and not heard. Those of a
:04:42. > :04:45.certain age were expected to be married. In terms of having a
:04:46. > :04:53.career, your career was having a child and husband to take care of. I
:04:54. > :04:58.had a I'm ready for Hillary sticker at least a year and a half ago. It
:04:59. > :05:03.could be any woman who has experienced the struggles I have and
:05:04. > :05:07.he does not get knocked down. She is moving forward for all of us and
:05:08. > :05:16.that is what makes her worthy of being called Madame President. Trump
:05:17. > :05:24.is a fighter. I am a fighter. We need someone who will fight for us.
:05:25. > :05:28.It got to the point where you could not work and pay your bills, but the
:05:29. > :05:34.Mexicans were working for at least half the pay, sometimes even less.
:05:35. > :05:39.When Trump came up with the immigration thing, the first thing
:05:40. > :05:45.out of the gate was we are going to build a wall and send 11 million
:05:46. > :05:50.illegals back home. I thought this man is talking my language. That is
:05:51. > :05:54.one vote for Donald Trump. Let us bring in one of our correspondence
:05:55. > :06:02.to talk about this. New York is a big city, New York state bigger
:06:03. > :06:08.still. How any people will vote in these primaries? Is it affecting the
:06:09. > :06:12.majority of people? No, not the majority vote in primaries. It is
:06:13. > :06:19.usually be diehards who turn out and vote. However, we have had some
:06:20. > :06:28.record turnouts. I haven't seen that in New York the way we saw that in
:06:29. > :06:32.Wisconsin. The mayor was worried that Democratic voter registration
:06:33. > :06:35.was down. I'm not sure if we can read anything into that. What was
:06:36. > :06:41.fascinating about the three voters you showed was that they represent
:06:42. > :06:45.the spectrum of New York. A lot of people go to New York and they go to
:06:46. > :06:52.Manhattan and that is as far as they get. This is a diverse state. There
:06:53. > :06:58.are areas of New York that are poor, working-class and white. Upstate New
:06:59. > :07:01.York is a different country from New York City and those are the bits of
:07:02. > :07:06.New York where Donald Trump is hoping to do particularly well. And
:07:07. > :07:13.what are the poll saying about how this will go? You will be hard
:07:14. > :07:17.pushed to find a poll that does not put Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
:07:18. > :07:21.constantly ahead. We would be gobsmacked if either of them lost,
:07:22. > :07:27.but it will be down to how much they win by. Donald Trump wants to win by
:07:28. > :07:31.enough around this date to pick up a big majority of those 95 Republican
:07:32. > :07:37.delegates who are up for grabs. Hillary Clinton would like to win by
:07:38. > :07:43.a big percentage. If she winds by 10% in New York, she can then turn
:07:44. > :07:48.round more convincingly and say to the Bernie Sanders camp, I am
:07:49. > :07:51.winning suddenly now. We have enough people behind us. If used they in
:07:52. > :07:58.the race it will only hurt the Democratic party. If we look back to
:07:59. > :08:08.previous elections, what connections can we make between the policies we
:08:09. > :08:11.here in the primaries, do any of these policy statements have any
:08:12. > :08:14.connection with what the winner does during the presidential election and
:08:15. > :08:19.when they get to the White House if they get that far? Hillary Clinton
:08:20. > :08:24.has brought this up to in the course of the campaign. She says you
:08:25. > :08:30.campaign in poetry and govern in prose. She is saying it is all very
:08:31. > :08:33.well to promise the moon, as Bernie Sanders is doing, but delivering
:08:34. > :08:51.that indeed divided system of government America has is difficult.
:08:52. > :08:54.Look at President Barack Obama. If whoever is elected has a Sennett and
:08:55. > :08:58.a Congress that comes from the other party, it is going to be very
:08:59. > :09:07.difficult for any of these nominees to deliver on a tiny portion of what
:09:08. > :09:12.they are promising to voters. When to be find out who has won New
:09:13. > :09:16.York? We will know pretty quickly after the polls have closed. We will
:09:17. > :09:23.be looking for the margins and it will depend on what happens in
:09:24. > :09:28.upstate New York. Thank you. Let us switch from the US to Afghanistan.
:09:29. > :09:33.It has been a bloody day in Kabul. One of the deadliest attacks in
:09:34. > :09:39.years. At least 20 people died. Over 300 were injured. This explosion
:09:40. > :09:47.took place in the Central district close to the ministry of defence and
:09:48. > :09:53.the presidential palace. Our correspondent went to the scene and
:09:54. > :09:58.filed this report. This building is the target of the
:09:59. > :10:04.suicide bombers. They started their earlier attacked with a car bomb and
:10:05. > :10:13.then a number of insurgents got into the building. This is the building
:10:14. > :10:18.for the protection of important dignitaries. Opposite is the defence
:10:19. > :10:24.ministry and over there if the presidential palace. As we speak,
:10:25. > :10:29.there is no more fighting going on. There is no firing here, but
:10:30. > :10:33.security forces are here in full force in order to contain the
:10:34. > :10:38.attackers. President Ghani has said this attack shows the loss and
:10:39. > :10:44.weaknesses of insurgents in the real battlefields.
:10:45. > :10:58.Here is a tweet from President Ghani.
:10:59. > :11:04.Not everyone would agree with the analysis that they are making
:11:05. > :11:11.progress against the Taliban. Here is a map of Afghanistan. All of the
:11:12. > :11:15.purple and orange areas are regions that are either supportive of the
:11:16. > :11:23.Taliban or controlled by the group and those areas have expanded since
:11:24. > :11:27.2013. 2014, I apologise. That is when the bulk of British and
:11:28. > :11:32.American and other Nato forces left. A week ago the Taliban did warn us
:11:33. > :11:39.these attacks were coming. It said it was starting its spring
:11:40. > :11:42.defensive. That is a term we hear every year. We asked our
:11:43. > :11:48.correspondence to explain what that means. The spring offensive is an
:11:49. > :11:53.annual operation by the Taliban and the people who oppose the Afghan
:11:54. > :11:59.government. It starts usually in spring, as the name says because the
:12:00. > :12:05.weather at that time is better. The argument is that the fighters can
:12:06. > :12:11.move around. Kabul is snowing in the winter and it is difficult for them
:12:12. > :12:16.to operate in such a mountainous environment. For them it is easier
:12:17. > :12:21.to operate and bring down their opposition, which is the Afghan
:12:22. > :12:26.government in their views. And also they send their fighters to rest
:12:27. > :12:31.during winter times. They call it a spring operation because it start in
:12:32. > :12:39.spring. We have been to the US and Afghanistan. Next to China. This is
:12:40. > :12:46.Kathy Chen. She is Twitter's new managing director in China. It
:12:47. > :12:49.emerges that she used to be in the Chinese military. It is difficult to
:12:50. > :12:54.gauge what people will think of that. We can't comment without
:12:55. > :13:01.getting into trouble, but people outside of mainland China can and
:13:02. > :13:05.they are not happy. We learnt about it from the state broadcaster,
:13:06. > :13:14.telling us that Kathy Chen had been appointed. She then replied saying,
:13:15. > :13:21.let us work together to tell great China stories to the world. The
:13:22. > :13:26.concern with that week is that she feels CCTV other people to do this,
:13:27. > :13:30.given that this is a state broadcaster that is regularly
:13:31. > :13:36.reminded to follow orders from the Chinese Communist Party. The BBC
:13:37. > :13:43.does have a blog and the analysis was written on our China blog by a
:13:44. > :13:51.journalist called Stephen McDonald. He recorded his analysis for Outside
:13:52. > :13:56.Source. Here I am inside the great firewall of China where I, like
:13:57. > :14:01.everybody else, is subject to this country's strict controls on the
:14:02. > :14:06.Internet. Here in the Beijing bureau of the BBC we have a VPN. By
:14:07. > :14:10.clicking on that we can jump over the great firewall of China. There I
:14:11. > :14:22.am clicking on Twitter. That is my site. The same goes for Facebook,
:14:23. > :14:24.YouTube and other blocked sites. But Twitter has been especially
:14:25. > :14:29.important here because it seems to be the platform of choice for many
:14:30. > :14:33.activists, both in China and overseas, and they use it to
:14:34. > :14:38.criticise the government. So when Twitter decided to appoint a new
:14:39. > :14:42.China managing director, it certainly got their attention and I
:14:43. > :14:47.think it will be fair to say they have been freaking out about it.
:14:48. > :14:50.Kathy Chen used to be an engineer in the Chinese military. She also
:14:51. > :14:56.worked for a company that had financial links to China's Ministry
:14:57. > :15:00.of Public Security. The implication from some seems to be that because
:15:01. > :15:04.of this she may have played a role in tracking down on freedom of
:15:05. > :15:10.speech. But you how to ask how fair that is. Does that mean nobody who
:15:11. > :15:16.has worked in the Chinese military can ever be trusted to work in
:15:17. > :15:19.social media? Another company she worked for built the great firewall
:15:20. > :15:24.of China, or at least help to build it. Now again, does that mean that
:15:25. > :15:31.anyone who has worked for Cisco cannot be trusted or cannot be in
:15:32. > :15:35.ploy to work in social media sites dedicated to freedom of speech? What
:15:36. > :15:41.she will be useful is to try and drum up advertising revenue and to
:15:42. > :15:44.build corporate links for Twitter. This company unlike Facebook and
:15:45. > :15:49.others seems to have accepted it is not going to be unblocked here and
:15:50. > :15:54.it is going to make the best of it as it is. So whatever Kathy Chen was
:15:55. > :15:55.back history, I certainly hope she has strapped herself in because it
:15:56. > :16:03.is going to be a rocky road ahead. If you're interested in China look
:16:04. > :16:08.up the BBC's China blog. We're going to be talking about another giant,
:16:09. > :16:13.because Yahoo! Is going to be releasing its results shortly. This
:16:14. > :16:17.is of particular interest to those companies, lots of people are
:16:18. > :16:28.thought to be considering bidding for the company.
:16:29. > :16:31.Now here in the UK, Michael Gove has outlined how he believes the UK's
:16:32. > :16:37.economy could thrive outside the European Union. Mr Gove is one of
:16:38. > :16:42.the leading figures in the vote Leave group. He says the UK could be
:16:43. > :16:48.part of a European free trade zone and strike a deal to allow Britain
:16:49. > :16:52.to trade with Europe, but not abide by Europe's laws. Those arguing to
:16:53. > :16:56.remain in the EU claim Mr Gove is labouring under a serious
:16:57. > :17:00.misunderstanding of the EU. The idea that if Britain voted to
:17:01. > :17:05.leave the European Union, we would instantly become some sort of hermit
:17:06. > :17:08.kingdom, a North Atlantic North Korea, only without that country's
:17:09. > :17:17.fund of international goodwill. LAUGHTER It's a fantscy. It's a
:17:18. > :17:21.phantom. It's a great, grotesque, patronising Peter Mandelsonian
:17:22. > :17:25.deceit. That imagines that the people of this country arm your
:17:26. > :17:33.children capable of being frightened into obedience.

:18:39. > :18:45.A couple of weeks ago I was at a media conference in Mumbai. All of
:18:46. > :18:49.the discussions revolved around the smartphone market in India and the
:18:50. > :18:52.three and 4 G networks that will support them of the the mobile
:18:53. > :18:56.internet is seen as central to India's future. The evidence is
:18:57. > :19:03.there, it's one of the fastest growing markets in the world for
:19:04. > :19:09.phones. With the new launch almost every
:19:10. > :19:14.week, Indian consumers are spoilt for choice. The smartphone boom is
:19:15. > :19:18.being driven by what's called the replacement market, low cost
:19:19. > :19:21.smartphones give users here an affordable opportunity to upgrade
:19:22. > :19:29.from so-called feature phones or phones that do not easily access the
:19:30. > :19:36.internet. According to IDC, South Korean techen giant Samsung leads
:19:37. > :19:41.the market with 26. 8% share. Micro-Max has the second biggest
:19:42. > :19:49.share. Lenovo has the third position. So what do Indians look
:19:50. > :19:53.for when buying a smartphone? The first thing is the price. So I get
:19:54. > :19:58.to know the price, price band in which I need to buy a phone. After
:19:59. > :20:05.that, I look for features. The main being a camera. Because I am a
:20:06. > :20:11.selfie kind a person. I look for the camera. For me, it's always the
:20:12. > :20:17.features. I'll go for the features as compared to the price. If it
:20:18. > :20:24.works for the price I will definitely go for that. Creo, a new
:20:25. > :20:28.start up, which has raised $3 million in funding launched its
:20:29. > :20:32.first smartphone, targeting young tech savvy Indians, the company asks
:20:33. > :20:38.users to suggest ideas and features which they add through software
:20:39. > :20:42.updates every month. I think software is the real difference.
:20:43. > :20:49.That is why the whole philosophy of us being able to deliver a new phone
:20:50. > :20:54.experience every month, by the means of updates, is so valid. A user can
:20:55. > :20:57.now experience knewer features month after month and the phone is going
:20:58. > :21:04.to get better, better, better as you keep using it. Priced at around
:21:05. > :21:11.$300, the phones don't come cheap. The real demand in India is for
:21:12. > :21:16.phones under $100. With smartphone sales in China, North America
:21:17. > :21:20.expected to be flat in 2016, India's one of the few markets promising
:21:21. > :21:30.growth. So consumers here can drive a hard bargain. Next Netflix. For
:21:31. > :21:36.years the Netflix story has been one of success. So when its shares fell
:21:37. > :21:38.because news had been released of slower than expected subscriber
:21:39. > :21:44.growth, this rapidly became a big story. Globally, Netflix is telling
:21:45. > :21:47.us it has 81. 5 million users, for the first quarter this year. That's
:21:48. > :21:52.below expectation. It's also expected to fall below expectations
:21:53. > :21:56.come the end of June, the end of the second quarter to the opportune of
:21:57. > :22:00.2. 3 million subscribers, below where it would like to be. That begs
:22:01. > :22:05.the question - what is going on here. Let's bring in our BBC
:22:06. > :22:09.correspondent to help us out. Has something gone drastically wrong or
:22:10. > :22:12.is it just a blip? I think it all has to do with competition,
:22:13. > :22:19.competition and competition. If you look back a couple of years ago,
:22:20. > :22:22.Netflix was a pioneer in this area of subscription service video
:22:23. > :22:28.streaming. Now there are many new entrants. If you look in the last
:22:29. > :22:34.month, Amazon is launching a similar subscription-style service for users
:22:35. > :22:41.of its services. You've got content makers like CBS, like Showtime and
:22:42. > :22:46.other cable operators here in the US, like HBO, launching streaming
:22:47. > :22:51.services direct to customers. This is all eating Netflix's lunch.
:22:52. > :22:55.That's why you're seeing concerns amongst investors about the future
:22:56. > :23:00.and in terms of the number of subscriptions it's able to add in
:23:01. > :23:04.the future. Netflix was hoping to diversify and opening up shop in
:23:05. > :23:07.more international markets, but clearly, it hasn't done enough to
:23:08. > :23:11.convince investors that all is all right. Speaking of companies which
:23:12. > :23:14.have to do something to convince investors, let's talk about Yahoo! .
:23:15. > :23:18.It's got the latest figures out. That's right. The revenue there has
:23:19. > :23:23.fallen. I think the key question for this company, that everyone wants to
:23:24. > :23:28.know is what does the future hold? We're waiting for an investor call,
:23:29. > :23:34.that should start shortly. We know that the company is trying to sell
:23:35. > :23:38.its internet service. It closed the first round of the time table for
:23:39. > :23:41.bids to be accepted ended on Monday. Actually, interest was a bit
:23:42. > :23:45.disappointing. People are going to want to hear more from the company
:23:46. > :23:49.during this conference call to see what's going to happen next.
:23:50. > :23:52.Michelle, when it does, I'm sure you will keep us posted. Thank you very
:23:53. > :23:57.much. Let's pick up on that story. There's
:23:58. > :24:00.a huge amount of speculation over who might be interested in buying
:24:01. > :24:06.the internet side of Yahoo! 'S business. Who might the possible
:24:07. > :24:10.buyers be? I've used Yahoo! Since 2001. It's
:24:11. > :24:15.fine. I have no problems with it. I think I just use it because it's
:24:16. > :24:20.easy and familiar. I would feel sad if Yahoo! Weren't around. It's like
:24:21. > :24:25.an old friend, you know? The company's struggling financially.
:24:26. > :24:28.Take a look at the share price. Investors haven't been happy with
:24:29. > :24:33.the company's performance, until in February, Yahoo! Announced that its
