He won in all five northeastern states holding primary elections on Tuesday. Nick Bryant is at the Trump campaign headquarters in New York. Mr Donald J. Trump. With five big wins in five northeastern states, Donald Trump described himself as the presumptive nominee, a boxer 4 as he put it, who just knocked out his opponent and didn't need to await the decision for the referee 5. But he still needs to win slightly more than half of the remaining delegates to secure the Republican nomination 6. And his rivals are working together to block his path in upcoming context such as Indiana next week, a do-or-die moment perhaps for the 'Stop Trump' forces. The billionaire seemed to be looking towards the presidential election, attacking the likely Democratic nominee, who he has taken to calling 'Crooked 7 Hillary'. 'Well I think the only card she has is the women's card. She has got nothing else going. And frankly 8, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she will get 5 percent of the vote.' The former Secretary of State beat Bernie Sanders in 4 out of 5 contests, so opening up an insurmountable lead. And she calls the Democrats 9 to come together around her candidacy. Nick Bryant.

The Election Commission of the government in exile of Tibet which is based in India has announced that his current leader Lobsang Sangay has been reelected for a second 5-year term of office. The pose was created in 2011 when the Dalai Lama stepped down from his former political roles. Jill McGivering reports. Lobsang Sangay is a Harvard-educated lawyer who was born in India to refugees. He said he'd never expected to win office the first time round but his reappointment was predicated. He is a moderate voice favoring the so-called middle way, using dialogue and non-violence to purse a goal of autonomy within China, similar to that of Hong Kong and Macao. That won't be easy.
