New York primary as it happened: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton win big

The morning starts off with Donald Trump speaking to Fox & Friends news about the US's "cover-up" of the links between the 9/11 attacks and Saudi Arabia. A strategic interview, given the importance of 9/11 to New Yorkers.Mr Trump insisted that the US went after Iraq, even though Iraq "did not bring the towers down"."I've been saying that for a long time," Mr Trump insisted.

Remember John Kasich? He's in the race, too, and some people are determined to be positive about his chances in New York today. While Mr Kasich has been an "automatic third-place finisher", four of the five most recent polls in New York forecast the Ohio governor to end up ahead of Ted Cruz. It is mathematically impossible for Mr Kasich to end up with the required 1,237 delegates, but even second place in the Big Apple would be a win for his team.

Bernie Sanders criticised New York's closed primaries while walking around Midtown Manhattan. In a closed primary, only registered Democrats and Republicans are allowed to participate, leaving out countless Independent voters. Mr Sanders said this should not be how things work."Today, three million people in the state of New York who are Independents have lost their right to vote in the Democratic and Republican primaries,” he said. "That’s wrong. You’re paying for this election. It’s administered by the state. You have a right to vote. That’s a very unfortunate thing which I hope will change."Despite this, Mr Sanders is feeling optimistic about the outcome of the New York primaries, according to the New York Times. “If there is a large voter turnout out, despite the impediment of three million people not being able to participate, I think we are going to do just fine.”

Exit polls show that 40 per cent of Republican voters would be "scared" or "concerned" about what Donald Trump would do if he were elected president.

When one of our reporters went to the polls in New York, he was given a ballot that was already completed. Possibly a sign of bigger problems at the polls.

Anyone else notice that @CNN seems to think it's only 7:35 pm? That could pose a problem for New York primary results.
