中英双语新闻 美国总统初选克鲁兹党内首战告捷（在线收听）

Hello, I'm Thomas Sanders with the BBC news.

The Texas Senator Ted Cruz has won the Iowa caucus for the Republican Party nomination, the first public vote in the race for the US presidency. He beat the favorite 

Donald Trump into second place. Senator Marco Rubio from Florida was third. The former secretary of state Hilary Clinton appears to have won the narrowest victories in the Democratic contest. Here's Jon Sopel.

"The Donald Trump bandwagon hasn't come to a halt, but he has underperformed badly. And failure wasn't something he had contemplated. The Conservative Senator Ted Cruz exceeded expectations in winning. And that gives him momentum going into New Hampshire. But strangely sound, perhaps the most significant result is Senator Marco Rubio. Not only did he do way better than expected, he is now, without doubt, the preeminent establishment candidate. On the Democratic Party side, it looks as though Hilary Clinton might have won but by a squeak, only just beating her left-wing rival, Senator Bernie Sanders. The race for the Democratic nomination still has a long way to run. "

King Abdullah of Jordan has told the BBC that his country has reached saturation point in its ability to take in and care for Syrian refugees. Speaking ahead of an 

international donors conference in London on Thursday, King Abdullah said Jordan couldn't continue to accept refugees unless it received more support.

"Jordanians are suffering from trying to find jobs. It has hurt us when it comes to the educational system, our health care. Sooner or later I think the dam is going 

to burst. And I think this week is going to be very important for Jordanians to see is that going to be helpful- not only for the refugees but for our own futures as 

well."

One of the European Union's highest officials, Donald Tusk, who is president to the European Council, is due to present draft proposals designed to persuade Britain to 

stay in the EU. Britain is seeking to renegotiate its membership of the European Union. Chris Morris reports.

"The draft legal text released today will form the basis of more than two weeks of intense diplomacy leading up to an EU summit later this month. The text will not 

include any suggestions of limits on the free movement of EU citizens, but there will be a proposal for an emergency break allowing Britain to withhold inward benefits 

for migrants workers for a period of up to four years. That is still likely to meet opposition though from countries in Eastern Europe. Senior EU officials know there 

will obstacles, but they're confident that these proposals will eventually be accepted."

Representatives from 23 countries meet in Rome on Tuesday to review progress in countering the Islamic State group. The meeting will focus on efforts to regain 

territory from the Jihadists in Syria and in Iraq. US officials say they will also discuss how to stem the rise of IS in Libya.

You're listening to the latest world news from the BBC.

Negotiating teams from Syria's government and opposition groups are due to hold separate meetings with United Nations officials during a second day of talks in 

Switzerland. The attendance of opposition representatives at the peace talks had initially been a doubt. The BBC correspondent in Geneva says the fact that both sides 

are participating has been as positive. But the opposition has said that it will wait for the outcome of Tuesday's negotiations before confirming its formal 

participation.

The trial has begun in Guatemala of two former military officers. They are accused of the sexual abuse and enslavement of women during the country's civil war. 

Prosecutors say the men allowed their troops to rape at least 15 women who disappeared in the 1980s.

A study has found that cutting down trees in rainforests appears to be accelerating the spread of black rats. Here's our Science correspondent Matt Mcgrath.

"While black rats have spread rapidly throughout the world over the past 400 years, they have tended to avoid mature forests, disliking the leafy floors which are 

noisy for these rodents to run through. Now researchers have found that the clearing of rain forests in the developing world could be speeding the spread of these 

black creatures. In tests in B, scientists found that fallen trees contained more insects and provided better cover for these rats. The authors are concerned that this 

invasion will be bad news for other species including nesting birds and small mammals."

And a former German football official is due to appear in court on Tuesday for calling Qatar's hosting of the World Cup in 2022, a cancerous growth on world football. 

The Qatar Football Association has filed a civil lawsuit for damages against Theo Zwangziger, who is a former president of the German Football Association. He insists 

his words were directly against FIFA's system of awarding the tournament to Qatar, rather than the country.

德克萨斯州参议员泰德·科鲁兹赢得爱荷华党团大会的共和党提名，这是美国总统选举的首次公开投票。受欢迎的唐纳德·特朗普位居第二，来自佛罗里达州的参议员马克·鲁比奥位居第三。前国务卿希拉里·克林顿似乎在民主党选举中险胜，乔·索帕尔报道。

“唐纳德·特朗普的竞选尚未结束，但他似乎表现不佳，他根本没想过会失败。保守的参议员泰德·科鲁兹的胜出出人意料，这就助力他进入新罕布什尔州的选举。但奇怪的是，最显眼的结果是参议员马克·鲁比奥，他的表现不仅超出预期，还毫无疑问是最重要的候选人。在民主党阵营，似乎希拉里·克林顿勉强击败了左翼对手、参议员伯尼·桑德斯，民主党提名角逐还有很远的路要走。”

一份研究发现，砍掉热带雨林的树木似乎能加剧黑鼠的蔓延，科学记者马特·麦格拉斯报道。

“尽管过去400年来黑鼠在世界各地迅速蔓延，但它们一直没有蔓延到森林中去，它们不喜欢在布满树叶地面上爬行时制造的声音。现在研究者发现，发展中国家清理雨林的做法加速了黑鼠的蔓延。科学家发现，倒下去的树木中有更多的昆虫，能为黑鼠提供更好的避身处。研究作者担心黑鼠的入侵对于筑巢鸟和小哺乳动物等物种来说是个不好的消息。”
