US election 2016: Hillary Clinton 'wins Nevada caucuses'

US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has won the Nevada Democratic caucuses, US media report.

Mrs Clinton was leading with 52% of the votes so far counted, compared to her rival Bernie Sanders' 48% of the vote.

She had been hoping for a big victory in Nevada where she is popular with Hispanic and minority voters.

The Republican primary is also under way in South Carolina, where frontrunner Donald Trump is trying to fend off Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

The votes could be key ahead of the "Super Tuesday" round on 1 March.

On that day, about a dozen states will choose their Republican and Democratic contenders for the 8 November presidential election, with about a quarter of all nominating delegates up for grabs.

Mrs Clinton has already declared victory in a tweet, thanking people who voted for her, saying "this is your win".
