:03:22. > :03:24.currently about 90 families here, but the number keeps changing
:03:25. > :03:29.because people come here as a first step and leave as soon as they find
:03:30. > :03:38.somewhere else to stay. It is clean, and aid is close at hand. But

:05:30. > :05:31.fanfare, literally, that he organised for himself when he
:05:32. > :05:38.arrived in Des Moines this weekend. The theme tune from the Reavie Air
:05:39. > :05:43.Force One. -- from the movie. But then reality intervened, and the man
:05:44. > :05:49.who hates losers, lost. We will go on to get the Republican nomination,
:05:50. > :05:55.and we will go on to easily beat Hillary or burning or the hell they
:05:56. > :06:01.throw there. Thank you Ray much. Well, Donald Trump has given not a
:06:02. > :06:05.victory speech, but I concession to Ted Cruz. However, he says he will
:06:06. > :06:12.go on, and hopes he will win in New Hampshire. This is a party that has
:06:13. > :06:17.gone very flat for Donald Trump. When I caught up with his son, he
:06:18. > :06:21.told me the fight goes on. We will be working just as hard in New
:06:22. > :06:28.Hampshire and then South Carolina. We are not going to stop. The winner

:06:35. > :06:41.with his daughter Eve, by the look of it. But he had a brilliant ground
:06:42. > :06:46.game, clinically targeting his right-wing evangelical base. Tonight
:06:47. > :06:52.is a victory for courageous Conservatives across Iowa and all
:06:53. > :06:56.across this great nation. The other perhaps more significant victory
:06:57. > :07:03.came for this man, with a red tie and the Perma smile. Yes, Marco
:07:04. > :07:06.Rubio only came third, but he way exceeded expectations and has
:07:07. > :07:14.emerged as the clear front runner for mainstream Republicans. Tales.
:07:15. > :07:19.And on the Democratic party side, half a dozen times last night, this
:07:20. > :07:24.is what it came down to. In the most eye-wateringly tight contest ever
:07:25. > :07:29.held. The delegate for this precinct is Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton
:07:30. > :07:35.squeaked it, and her victory speech could be summed up in one word -
:07:36. > :07:42.phew! As I stand here tonight, breathing a big sigh of relief,
:07:43. > :07:45.thank you, Iowa! The left-wing senator from Vermont, Bernie
:07:46. > :07:48.Sanders, did spectacularly in running her so close, and in the
:07:49. > :07:53.middle of the night flew straight New Hampshire, where next week, he
:07:54. > :07:59.hopes to go one better and beat her. His first campaign stop on the back
:08:00. > :08:05.of a pick-up at 4.30 in the morning. Clearly, there is to be no

:08:10. > :08:13.commute is bad, spare a thought for rail passengers in southern China.
:08:14. > :08:16.This week, 50,000 of them were stranded by bad weather. It's the
:08:17. > :08:20.busiest time of year, as millions tried to get away for the Chinese
:08:21. > :08:27.new year. Many of those who found themselves stuck at the station are
:08:28. > :08:30.migrant workers from the countryside who usually face long and difficult
:08:31. > :08:34.journeys home for this annual holiday. Our reporter joined them
:08:35. > :08:40.for possibly China's worst ever rush-hour.
:08:41. > :08:44.This week, Guangzhou train station has looked more like the venue for a
:08:45. > :08:51.giant rock concert, although it has been a lot less fun. These
:08:52. > :08:57.extraordinary scenes of congestion are being blamed on the sheer weight
:08:58. > :09:01.of numbers as well as bad weather. Many of the stranded are migrant
:09:02. > :09:09.workers, desperate to get home after months away. It is like a dumpling
:09:10. > :09:18.in the bowl. Like dumplings boiling in a pot, it is that crowded! I feel
:09:19. > :09:26.very tired. When I think about my parents are home, I am eager to come
:09:27. > :09:30.home earlier. But adding to the holiday woes this year is a far
:09:31. > :09:36.larger concern. China's industrial landscape is changing. The
:09:37. > :09:42.factories, once the centrepiece of this economy, are relocating to
:09:43. > :09:47.countries where wages are lower. So many migrants are packing their bags
:09:48. > :09:54.for the last time, fuelling the first drop in China's migrant
:09:55. > :09:56.population in three decades. TRANSLATION: Didn't President Xi
:09:57. > :10:00.Jinping say that if you work hard and stick to your dreams, you will
:10:01. > :10:06.get your reward? Well, we did work hard and have a dream, but we have
:10:07. > :10:11.nothing to show for it. It is little wonder that some migrant workers may
:10:12. > :10:15.have decided enough is enough. They work long hours, a long way from
:10:16. > :10:21.home, and have to face this kind of travel chaos every year. For many of
:10:22. > :10:24.them, it is the only one see your opportunity they get to reconnect
:10:25. > :10:28.with families including young children left behind in the
:10:29. > :10:34.villages. The authorities say the backlog of passengers has mostly now
:10:35. > :10:39.been cleared after extra trains were laid on. China's migrants on move
:10:40. > :10:45.again, but into an increasingly uncertain future.
:10:46. > :10:47.And that is all from Reporters for this week. From me, Philippa Thomas,
