Nevada caucuses: What to expect in the next step to take on Trump

'Which candidate will you swipe right on?' The race to decide which Democrat will take on Donald Trump in November's presidential election in the US has resumed in Nevada. Moderate ex-mayor Pete Buttigieg and left-wing Bernie Sanders are the front-runners nationwide, but only two states have voted so far. The final candidate won't be known until July. Very early results from Nevada give Mr Sanders the lead. Joe Biden, who has struggled up until now, will hope for a better result. Here's what is happening.
