Sanders wins in three States but Delegates Rally Behind Clinton

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders claimed political momentum in the Democratic presidential race Sunday after scoring lopsided victories in Saturday caucuses in Alaska, Hawaii and Washington State.

But delegate math continued to favor rival Hillary Clinton as the campaign headed toward the Wisconsin primary on April 5 and the New York primary on April 19. The former secretary of State now leads Sanders among pledged delegates by 1,243 to 975, according to the Associated Press. When unpledged "superdelegates" are included, her lead stretches to 1,712 to 1,004. Needed for nomination: 2,383.

"We have won five of the six last contests in landslide fashion," Sanders said on NBC's Meet the Press, then referred to himself in the third person. "I think a lot of the superdelegates are now beginning to look at which Democratic candidate is the best place to defeat Donald Trump. I think some of them are beginning to understand that it's Bernie Sanders."

With all precincts reporting, Sanders trounced Clinton by 81.6%-18.4% in Alaska; 69.8%-30% in Hawaii, and 72.7% to 27.1% in Washington State. Democratic rules require that delegates be allocated proportionately, making it harder for Sanders to make up the deficit he faces against Clinton than under GOP rules that allow winner-take-all contests.

Suicide Bomber Kills 65, Hospitalise Hundreds durin Easter Celebration

 A suicide bomber killed at least 65 people, mostly women and children, at a park in Lahore on Sunday in an attack claimed by a Pakistani Taliban faction which said it had targeted Christians.

Video courtesy of wochit youtube channel More than 300 other people were wounded, officials said.

The explosion occurred in the parking area of Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park close to children's swings. The park is a popular site for members of Lahore's Christian community, many of whom had gone there to celebrate the Easter weekend holiday.

Witnesses said they saw body parts strewn across the parking lot once the dust had settled after the blast.

"When the blast occurred, the flames were so high they reached above the trees and I saw bodies flying in the air," said Hasan Imran, 30, a resident who had gone to Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park for a walk.

Officials said 65 people were killed and about 300 wounded. Police Superintendant Mustansar Feroz said most of the casualities were women and children.

The Taliban faction Jamaat-ul-Ahrar claimed responsibility for the attack.

"The target was Christians," a spokesman for the faction, Ehsanullah Ehsan, said. "We want to send this message to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif that we have entered Lahore."

"He can do what he wants but he won't be able to stop us. Our suicide bombers will continue these attacks."

Islamist militants in Pakistan have attacked Christians and other religious minorities often over the past decade. Many Christians accuse the government of doing little to protect them, saying politicians are quick to offer condolences after an attack but slow to take any concrete steps to improve security.

US Secretary of State, John Kerry, visits Brussels, Belgium to sympathize with the Belgians and also two Americans that lost their lives in the recent terrorism attack in the country. Speaking after meeting Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, Kerry said the "United States is praying and grieving with you for the loved ones of those cruelly taken from us, including Americans, and for the many who were injured in these despicable attacks." Kerry did not offer specific details, but a senior official said the families of two Americans had been informed of their deaths in the attacks Tuesday. The official, who was not authorized to speak to the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, did not have further details. The bombings killed 31 people and wounded 270. Kerry landed earlier Friday at the still-closed Brussels airport for his brief visit from Moscow, where he said the attacks underscored the urgency of unity in the fight against the Islamic State.

Households use Polluting Fuels for Cooking- WHO

World Health Organisation has reported that the use of polluting fuels for home cooking, lighting and heating is the single most important environmental health risk world wide.

The  exposure of  women  and children to this hazard are particularly high making them number victims  to this menace.

According to statistics from WHO websites "Almost 3.1 billion people still rely on polluting, inefficient energy systems such as biomass, coal or kerosene to meet their daily cooking needs – a number virtually unchanged over the past decade. And too many households still depend on polluting fuels and devices for heating and lighting – particularly kerosene."

WHO also says that "Women and girls bear the largest health burden not only from domestic pollution sources, but often also from related fuel-gathering tasks. For instance, available survey data from 13 countries showed that girls in sub-Saharan African homes with polluting cookstoves spend about 18 hours weekly collecting fuel or water, while boys spend 15 hours. In homes mainly using cleaner stoves and fuels, girls spend only 5 hours weekly collecting fuel or water, and boys just 2 hours."
