Primaries in New Hampshire
CNN -- Bernie Sanders landed a victory last night in New Hampshire as the Democratic primaries continue. Former South Bend, IN Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who won the Iowa caucuses, still has a slight lead in the overall delegate count. Amy Klobuchar finished in third. This left Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren struggling with disappointing results. Entrepreneur Andrew Yang announced as soon as results were called that he is ending his campaign. The race shifts now to South Carolina and Nevada.

Health officials in Hong Kong are investigating whether the virus can be spread through pipes and drains after two residents on different floors of an apartment were infected. Forty more cases have been confirmed on the Diamond Princess cruise ship. Meanwhile, health officials disagree with President Trump's claim that the virus will die out when it warms up.
