Tunisia, tennis, the science phone in and an app that's more popular than angry birds!

We get the latest from Tunisia and hear from the UN human rights spokesperson, Rupert Colville. He tells us about the number of deaths in the protests and the freeing up of the media under the new interim government.

We have a report about a US airman who exposed women to HIV by having unprotected sex with them. He's been sentenced to eight years in a military prison.

We hear from the American mayor who has come up with a novel idea to combat crime. Mayor Matthew Godfrey wants to use an airship or, as they are called in the states, a "blimp", that carries a military surveillance system to catch out criminals in the city of Ogden in Utah. He tells us about his plans.  

Senator Joe Lieberman, one of the most recognisable faces in US politics, has announced that he won't seek re-election to the United States Senate in 2012. We hear from Joshua Greenman who worked for the Senator between 2001 and 2004, and now writes for the New York Daily News.

Angry Birds has lost its top spot on the free downloads list on Apple's app store to Bubble Ball, a physics puzzle game. The lead designer of the games is Robert Nay - he's just 14. He tells us about his business.
