Voters in five northeastern US states are casting ballots 1 in primary elections that are expected to extend the leads of the front-runners to be candidates for the
presidency 3. The latest opinion polls put the Republican Donald Trump 4 and Hillary Clinton for the Democrats 5 ahead in all five contests. Nick Bryant is on the campaign
trail in Pennsylvania. It's unusual for the primary contest to go this far. By the time voters in these northeastern states get to cast their ballots, the race is
normally over. On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton's big victory last week in New York not only ended a string of defeats, but also opened up an unassailable lead.
This round of contest should make her the presumptive nominee 6. Gary O'Donoghue is in Indiana where Mr. Trump's main Republican rival Ted 2 Cruz is campaigning. Tonight he is gonna do pretty badly in those five primaries in the northeast. He's only second in one of them in Pennsylvania and even there he's 20 points adrift of Donald Trump. So he's not gonna have a good night in the northeast. However, in Indiana next week, he could get a decent delegate haul if he could overtake Donald Trump. Bear in mind that Ted Cruz is some 300 delegates adrift of Donald Trump at the moment.
United Nations aid officials say that the humanitarian 7 situation in the Syrian town of Daraya is extremely dire 8. The town has been besieged 9 by government forces for
more than three years. The UN says the Syrian authorities have not responded to count this request for permission to deliver relief supplies. Imogen Foulkes reports.
The Syrian town of Daraya, in which at least 4000 people are besieged by Syrina government forces, last received a delivery of aid in November 2012. This month, the UN finally managed to make an assessment 10 of needs and found horrifying 11 conditions, severe lack of food and medicine and near a complete destruction of the water supply. But the UN says Syria's shaky cessation of hostilities 12 has allowed significant aid to 12 of 18 other besieged areas.

thousands of confidential 13 files. They revealed tax arrangements between Luxembourg and multinational 14 companies that allow those companies to avoid huge amounts of taxes.
