Welcome to Wednesday's edition of CNN Student News.
-
I'm Carl Azuz at the CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
-
As promised, before yesterdays special edition of our show,
-
we're going in depth now on Super Tuesday.
-
On March 1st, Americans in more than ten states all went to the polls at once.
-
They weren't electing a president.
-
They were helping determine which one Democrat
-
and which one Republican would ultimately appear
-
on the presidential ballot this November.
-
Results from these contests were still coming in
-
when we put this show together.
-
Teachers, for up to the moment info,
-
please head to cnn. com.
-
We're starting with an analysis of the Republican side.
-
As of last night, there were five candidates running to
-
become the Republican nominee.
-
And going into Super Tuesday, businessman Donald Trump
-
was the frontrunner. He'd won in every state but Iowa
-
before yesterday's votes.
-
Now, CNN's John King is doing a bit of math for us.
-
He's looking at a few hypothetical outcomes
-
from yesterday built around Donald Trump's lead so far.
-
So heading into Super Tuesday, nobody is anywhere close
-
to clinching the nomination when it comes to delegates,
-
but momentum does start to matter. And Trump is starting pull away.
-
It's early, you need what, 1, 237 delegates to clinch
-
on the Republican side and nobody's even at 100.
-
If he ran the board, even winning with 30, 33 %, 35 %.
-
If Trump runs the board on Super Tuesday, look at that.
-
He gets close to 350. Again, you need 1230 something.
-
So he'd be pulling away in a dramatic way.
-
You start to get that space.
-
So the challenge is you've gotta not only win some states,
-
but take some delegates away, and that's where it hurts.
-
Even if Ted Cruz could pick up Texas, for example,
-
say Trump comes in second, Rubio third and Kasich fourth.
-
Even there, Trump's still getting some delegates cuz you're splitting it up.
-
So to stop Trump, you can't just win one state or two states.
-
Senator Rubio, like Senator Cruz, needs a win.
-
You can't keep celebrating second place.
-
Say Rubio pulls it out in a state like Virginia.
-
So if we give that one to Rubio, say Trump comes in second,
-
Cruz third, and Kasich fourth, even then, even then, okay,
-
so Cruz took Texas away. Rubio takes a state,
-
maybe it's Virginia away. Let's even say, okay
-
Governor Kasich's been camping out in Massachusetts.
-
So what if he can somehow make that happen there.
-
Even then a couple guys take a little bit away from Trump
-
that's still a lot of Trump and he's still way ahead.
-
Republicans unlike the Democrats are proportional early
-
on and then later on as you get through the calendar
-
you have much more winner take all. And Trump,
-
simply because of the Republican rules where the winner
-
is treated more favorably, you start to pull away and conceivably,
-
voila, that's the Trump convention right there.
-
An analysis of the Democrats is next.
-
There were two of them competing on Super Tuesday
-
and former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton,
-
was the front runner going into the vote.
-
She'd won in every state but New Hampshire before yesterday
-
As you saw on that last report, when we say a candidate wins a state,
-
it means he or she will have the most delegates
-
from that state voting to give that winner the party nomination.
-
Back to John King now, for more hypothetical outcomes
-
based on Hillary Clinton's lead so far.
-
The biggest story line for the Democrats heading into Super Tuesday
-
is that Hillary Clinton has stabilized.
-
And the question now is can Bernie Sanders pick the lock if you will,
-
and stop her. So Hillary Clinton goes into Super Tuesday
-
with momentum and that day gives her a huge opportunity
-
to have a huge exclamation point behind her performance.
-
And why is that? Super Tuesday is played out down here.
-
Eight states below that line I just drew vote on Super Tuesday.
-
What makes them special? The deeper the shading the higher the percentage
-
of African Americans in those areas.
-
So if you shrink this down and you look across Texas, in Virginia,
-
some of these other states on Super Tuesday,
-
the large African American population,
-
that has been the key to her success in Nevada and then in South Carolina.
-
If she continues her success there, she's not only racking up states,
-
she's racking up a large number of delegates.
-
If she can do that on Super Tuesday, she's proving to Senator Sanders
-
you cannot beat me in a traditional democratic
-
base which the Clinton campaign hopes.
-
Will get Senator Sanders to back off and say okay,
-
she's likely to win the nomination, I'm more of a protestor,
-
a message candidate. Maybe I should tone down the rhetoric.
-
If Clinton wins them all, this is by a 60- 40 margin, this scenario.
-
If she wins them all, she starts to pull away in the delegate chase
-
because in addition to the 600 pledge delegates
-
there's 445 super delegates so she would be way out here.
-
So what are you looking for? Where does Bernie Sanders on super Tuesday
-
at least slow her down. Well he says he's gonna win Minnesota,
-
so let's give him that for the sake of argument.
-
We assume he'll win his home state of Vermont
-
so we'll give him that for the sake of argument.
-
He says he thinks he can win in Oklahoma,
-
he's been spending a lot of time there, let's do it for the sake of argument.
-
And he also says out in Colorado, which is caucuses,
-
that he thinks he can do well out there.
-
So let's make Bernie Sanders the winner and Hillary Clinton coming in second there.
-
If he wins those four states on Super Tuesday plus
-
what he all ready has in New Hampshire, he would get closer.
-
But remember, she has 445 super delegates on the top of that.
-
So Sanders can slow Hillary Clinton's momentum
-
with those four states but it's not enough to stop her.
-
As you look at this Super Tuesday map,
-
I've given Senator Sanders Oklahoma, Colorado, Minnesota, and Vermont.
-
Secretary Clinton wins the rest. She starts to pull away in the delegates,
-
but because of the Democratic rules, if she wins them all 60- 40, look what happens.
-
We can get all the way through May, all filling in Clinton.
-
This is the finish line, way down here.
-
So she needs to win big and in some cases even bigger than 64.
-
It's not the first time we've announced the north African country of Morocco,
-
but it is the first time we've announced the city of Tangier.
-
Near the Strait of Gibraltar, we welcome the American School of Tangier.
-
Thank you for watching. In eastern Oklahoma there's a town named Warner,
-
and there's where you'll find Warner High School.
-
Hello Eagles. And in eastern Colorado we come to the community of Strasburg.

From Hemphill Middle School, the Indians are here.
-
The newspaper industry is not a booming one in the United States.
-
The number of daily papers has steadily decreased since the 1980s.
-
Their advertising revenue, the jobs they offered
-
that's also dropped in recent years.
-
It's not to say there's no future in news it's just moving online.
-
Digital audiences are growing by double digits.
-
Chances are you're watching our show online.
-
People are turning to apps, websites and social media to get informed.
-
It'd be easy to say this is happening everywhere in the world but it'd be wrong.
-
The unique circumstances in the world's biggest democracy
-
have given rise to a boom in newspapers.
-
Crunch time at the Delhi offices of India's number one selling newspaper.
-
As the clock ticks 11 PM The madness begins.
-
Simultaneously across India,
-
some 4 million copies of Dainik Jagran are printed.
-
It's so loud in here and the smell of the ink is incredibly strong
-
but what's happening here is some 15 different editions of Dainik Jagran
-
are being printed here for Delhi and the surrounding areas.
-
While newspaper titles and circulations decline globally
-
with the Internet threatening the future of printed news,
-
in India the industry's actually growing at a rate of 8 to 10 % a year
-
with new editions being launched on a weekly basis.
-
It is often said in India that every 50 kilometers the dialect will change.
-
So every 50, 60 kilometers, there's a separate sub- edition of Dainik Jagran
-
which has local content for that market in the local language.
-
They're catering each edition to small towns like
-
these because this is where India's economy
-
is expanding most and reading newspapers is aspirational.
-
Hardly anyone used to go to school before.
-
Now almost everyone is educated so we all read newspapers.
-
We get to know everything. What's happening in the country,
-
rest of the world, farming, inflation.
-
It's empowering he says. Today,
-
India has almost 100, 000 registered publications.
-
That's more than double what it was a decade ago.
-
And unlike pretty much anywhere else in the world,
-
the future for newspapers here is bright.
-
Off the almost 900 million little population of India,
-
44 % don't read the newspaper.
-
Could those roughly 400 million leap frog from
-
reading nothing to consuming news online?
-
Perhaps, but with three quarters of the country still
-
lacking Internet access that shift will take time.
-
Until then print away. Serema Unas, CNN New Delhi.

Before we go, it ain't over till it's over.
-
A lesson for both teams in the Rhode Island State basketball championship.
-
Protecting their lead in the final seconds,
-
Burrillville High School steals a pass then tosses the ball in the air
-
to run out the clock and then celebrate their supposed win.
-
But there's a hitch. A student from Chariho High School
-
had caught the ball and called time out before the buzzer sounded
-
Then with less than a second to go a pass, a lay- up
-
and a one point victory for Chariho.
-
It was a shot heard around the world,
-
one that no doubt gave the other team a sinking feeling.
-
But there's a silver lining that all of the players can net from this experience.
-
How often does everyone get to feel the thrill of victory
-
and the agony of defeat in the same game.
-
We've run out the clock on CNN Student News.
-
Are we back tomorrow? Of course.
