Facing mounting pressure to end his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, Bernie Sanders has instead escalated his feud with Democratic party leaders, signalling every intention to fight what he claims is an “anointment” of Hillary Clinton. Sanders faced fresh criticism over the past week, after his supporters were accused of threatening a state party chairwoman at the Nevada Democratic convention during a raucous confrontation over the nominating process.

 In an interview broadcast by CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, the senator struck a defiant tone, arguing that the rules to determine the party standard-bearer were “unacceptable”.

 “The current situation is undemocratic and it is ill-advised,” Sanders said, decrying the selection of so-called superdelegates – party insiders and officials – who endorsed Clinton even before she had a challenger. Donate Car.

By
Ali al-Amin’s claim comes as Channel Nine defends involvement in ‘story profoundly in public interest’ The estranged husband of Brisbane woman Sally Faulkner says he took their two children to  Lebanon  because he “just wasn’t OK” with her new partner being prominent in their lives. Ali al-Amin has been speaking to  Australian media  as Channel Nine explicitly defended its involvement in “a story that not only is profoundly in the public interest but also one the public is interested in”. Nine also announced it would fully investigate how four of its staff came to be arrested in Beirut, charged with kidnapping and finally released on Wednesday,  apparently in exchange for compensation .
