jacob: i don't know. it was a thing that her mom had said but when her mom died, when she was on her deathbed, she said to her, take note. charlie: everything is copy. piece of thatte a i believe was an "esquire" and an anthologyut in they put out a few years ago, and that is what she, you know, she really came to believe, at least for a very long time that if you at least found a way to tell your story, you you could control the narrative, and she had a very good sense that the experiences that you have, you don't want to waste if you are a writer. that wasn't always so easy for the people around her. charlie: this was a film you had to make? after yes, i felt that she died, i wanted to write about her in some way. i also was self-aware enough to know that i wasn't going to be able to write a book about her that wasn't better than any of the books that she had written about herself, and i had seen the bill cunningham documentary. charlie: about bill cunningham? for those of you who don't know, bill come

what do a plot and south africa airline, a newspaper called the new age and the country's president jacob zuma all have in common? the answer is they can all be links to a wealthy business family in south africa the gouptas and the new age newspaper they own. >> the family is a very influential family in south african politics and arrived in south africa in 1994 and created a series of relationships with prominent individuals, a very personal relationship with president jacob zuma and when they launched the media company in 2010 they were vocal in pro-government. >> it seems like that is a quid proquo and the logical way to read it and we get lots of tenders but in return we have media that is sympathetic to them and the president and the most obvious case is now that president zuma has been talking about a nuclear energy contract with the russians which is very contentious in south africa and yet the gouptas are extraordinary well positioned and suddenly are owners of uranium deposits and minds in south africa. the other obvious sign of connection between government and the goupta media

turning now to west palm beach and jacob rascon who is covering donald trump. let's go over the best case scenario for trump tonight. what happens if he wins ohio and florida? >> he could win ohio and florida. i mean, he's neck and neck with john kasich in one recent poll. john kasich is ahead by a few points in another poll. but he certainly could win. if that happens, it puts him over 700 delegates. in which case, he would need to win the remaining 53% of delegates to hit that magic number, which wouldn't come without effort, but it's doable. but the real big headline may be at that point, it becomes nearly impossible, essentially impossible, for anybody else to get to that magic number. ted cruz would need something like 80% and john kasich can't get there. could never really get there. and then marco rubio either. of course, remains to be seen if he'll go on even if he does not win florida. but essentially, he knocks out the competition. and he is the only person who can get to that magic number, jose. >> jacob rascon in west palm beach, thank you very much
