chinese police investigate what could be china's biggest ever financial scam it has been a big night in the race for the white house. voters in nevada and in can south carolina have given victories to hillary clinton and to donald trump and jeb bush is out of the republican race. trump got just over a third of the voters and submitted his position as the front runner. marco rubio and ted cruz were locked in a close battle for second place. hillary clinton prevailed for the democrats in nevada where four out of five voters were from ethnic minorities. it was also a goodnight for bernie sanders who came a close second. for donald trump back to back wins. >> there is nothing easy for running about precedent. it's tough, nasty, mean,

vicious. it's beautiful. when you win, it's beautiful. >> reporter: it if this was a goodnight, it was an awful night for jeb bush. he campaigned with his mom and mother and used the family name. it wasn't enough. emotionally he stepped out of the race. >> people have spoken. i really respect their decision. tonight i am suspending my campaign. yes. yes. >> reporter: south carolina is an important and significant stop in the campaign. the trump campaign, if there is a win here, they will be saying there is nowhere where they can't win.

marco rubio's performance in south carolina suggests he will now become the person the party establishment will back especially now bush has gone >> this has been a long road. there were many people on this campaign when it started. many who would have been a front runner. now it is down to three. i know that our campaign gives us the best chance not just to come together, not just to unify our party but to unify our country and to grow this movement. republica republicans, the lead hillary clinton enjoyed almost wiped out. she raised issues and took a swipe at the vermont senator. >> we are not a single-issue country.

we need more than a plan for the big bang. the middle-class needs a raise and we need more jobs. >> let's put this thing away and let's make america great again. >> reporter: many thought donald trump was a joke and he would soon disappear. how he cannot stop smiling let's talk to a visiting professor at the uc l.a. bill, we have this anti establishment maverick figure. >> they have a candidate who they think it is going to be difficult, maybe not impossible, but very difficult to elect which happened tonight, today on saturday is that the democratic establishment is breathing a lot easier with hillary clinton now the front runner and the republican establishment is really in a panic about what

they're going to do about donald trump rallying around marco rubio. >> they've still got ted cruz. he still has support from hard core conservatives. happiness in politics is divide. donald trump is winning with about a third of the vote but he has got a split opposition against him. the theory is that if one of them gets out, one may become the anti trump. some of those voters of one of those other candidates bes could go to trump we've seen the end of one of the political dynasties in this race. >> yes. the bush campaigned fizzled in this election year. it wasn't his time. he was a candidate of the past who represented the old status quo of the republican party. republican s are in a defiant mood. that's what donald trump sells. he defys everybody.

he divides the establishment, the press, he device commonsense sometimes. he defies the pope for goodness sakes, but there are a lot of republican voters out there who are in a defiant mood flipping over to the other event in nevada where we saw the other political din stee-- dynasty trundle on, and for bernie sanders the own anti establishment figure >> that's riflt. he did pretty well in nevada. hillary clinton really was saved by african american voters. they were in obama and now they're with her. without her support those, she really would not have won nevada. that is a problem for sanders as

the campaign continues. as as we grow closer to the big one, super tuesday, how are they looking? >> hillary clinton expects to do well because many of the states are in the south where there is a large presence. donald trump is hopeful that he can sweep super tuesday and maybe texas which is ted cruz's home state. if donald trump wins most of the other states or almost all of the other states, and the polls show he is ahead an his performance in south carolina can only help, then he will be on a dplid path for the nomination. he won a big victory in new hampshire, which is a north-eastern state and he won a big victory in south carolina, two very different kinds of states and he won them both thank you very much.

going to iraq now where the government says sunni tribes have taken up arms against i.s.i.l. there have been two days of fighting in the city, which is about 70 kilometers west of the capital. three sunni tribes are old l involved. further north the government is preparing for an offensive in the second largest city mosul. the prime minister announced that shia militia will be involved in that battle to retake the city from i.s.i.l. judge some claim that the americans and british is pressuring not to allow them to join the fight. they will be part of this honor rabble battle. no-one dares pressure me. it will be done by iraqis from all backgrounds phillip smith is a researcher specializing in shia militias and he says the iraqi government ask unlikely to gain the trust of sunnis in i.s.i.l. areas >> i think an appetite can be

built if there's enough money behind it. if we remember historically what has happened, the government cut funding for a lot of tribes that were originally fighting the components of the group that is now i.s.i.s., and how much money has been thrown their way. that is hard to say. a lot of these groups, because they're under essentially a very totalitarian grip by i.s.i.s., it is hard to push back even if they wanted to. you asked before whether they really want to go and fight with iraqi government forces. well, the operations in fallujah are being run by vicious and sectarian shia militias that are backed almost completely by the iranians and have had a very nasty history with sunnis. it makes a tough situation in terms of going forward if we're going to say, well, you know, there is going to be an iraqi government force and maybe sunni tribes will start to fight with

them. a lot of the tribes are looking for the lesser evil and unfortunately for many of them, because some of them have a more adventurous mindset, they want to stick withisise because they're not going to put power drills to their heads which one leading element did for so many years within iraq syria's president bashar al-assad said a ceasefire is possible. while he is hinting at peace his army is waging war. they're gaining territory in aleppo close to the border with sir turkey, and state media has announced the regime has taken back a major power plant which supplies the city of aleppo. >> translation: with the backing of the syrian and russians, we have gained a

$450,000. in their glossy brochures the finance company had promised annual returns of almost 15%, money supposed to be for online borrow eowers. >> translation: every day we turned on there was always ads. we can't say how real or unreal now. we did our research and we thought it was backed by the government. >> reporter: less than two years after the firm began trading it suddenly shut down last december. this scandal has highlighted an unregulated alternative to the traditional banking system, a system in which there may be as many as two and a half thousand so-called person to person lending platforms with investors often failing to recognise the financial risk this man sin cysts he was misled.
