中英双语新闻 特朗普拿下东北五州初选（在线收听）

Voters in five northeastern US states are casting ballots in primary elections that are expected to extend the leads of the front-runners to be candidates for the 

presidency. The latest opinion polls put the Republican Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for the Democrats 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. Gary O'Donoghue is in Indiana where Mr. Trump's main Republican rival Ted 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 situation in the Syrian town of Daraya is extremely dire. The town has been besieged 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 of needs and found horrifying 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 has allowed significant aid to 12 of 18 other besieged areas.

France's Finance Minister has offered assistance to one of three men who have gone on trial in Luxembourg over the so-called LuxLeaks scandal. Michel Sapin said

thousands of confidential files. They revealed tax arrangements between Luxembourg and multinational companies that allow those companies to avoid huge amounts of taxes. Now two former employees of the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers and a French journalist are facing charges ranging from violating Secrecy laws to to 

theft and IT fraud. They could face years in jail if convicted. BBC news.

The king of Spain has said that none of the country's political parties have enough parliamentary support to form a government. King Philip made the announcement after two days of talks with party leaders in an attempt to forge an agreement. The announcement means fresh elections in June six months after a poll which produced the most fragmented result in decades leading to a long political stalemate.

The authorities in the Cape Verde islands say eight soldiers and three civilians have been shot dead at a hilltop communications hub. Two of the dead were Spanish

The sister of the pop star Prince has said that the musician left no known will. Tyka Nelson has gone to court asking for an executor to be appointed to his state. 

Peter Bolz reports. Tyka Nelson is Prince's only surviving full sibling. Nelson says she believes her brother did not have a will and she's asked the court in 

Minnesota to appoint a cooperate trust company to oversee his business interests. Prince died last week at his Paisley Park studio complex in Minneapolis. The singer 

owned a dozen properties in the area which public record show to be worth about 27 million dollars. The future licensing of Prince's personal brand, as wells as sales 

of his music, will be hugely profitable. BBC news.
