* A hotly contested nomination primary as Iowa goes to the vote tonight...but which Democrat is going to trail in third?

* The stomach bug Nororvirus, sweeping the UK and striking more than 100,000 people a week...

plus! Two police officers stabbed in Swindon, three youths dead after New Years Eve car crash, rising fuel prices, global warming, snow flurries, freezing temperatures and Tony Blair as our Middle East peace representative.


I think I'm moving to Hawai'i.
