New Hampshire primary preview, activists held on Japanese ship, Best of Britain phone-in.

Anti-whaling activists are held on a Japanese ship, the anniversary of the Tuscon shootings, the Best of Britain phone-in and the woman who found a croc in her living room.

Dotun Adebayo with stories from around the world.

The New Hampshire primary is on Tuesday, but Up All Night is looking forward to the event already. Rhod Sharp is in New Hampshire and discusses the contest with Dante Scala, a political scientist. Mitt Romney is still the man to beat for Republicans who want to take on President Obama in November.

Three Australian anti-whaling activists could be taken back to Japan after getting on board a ship which supports the country's whaling fleet. Australia has already started diplomatic discussions over the fate of the three men. Paul Watson from the Sea Shepherd conservation society tells us nobody is communicating with the activists, and he's disappointed at the Australian government's response.

It's a year since the shootings in Tuscon, Arizona, which left six people dead and 13 injured. We speak to Senator Kyrsten Sinema about her friend Gabrielle Giffords, who is still recovering from the attack. She describes Senator Giffords' recovery as nothing short of miraculous.

Ever had high hopes of visiting somewhere in Britain, but then the place you went turned out to be rubbish? That's the question we ask in our Best of Britain phone-in. Clare Currie from Rough Guides takes your calls.

And we hear from an Australian woman who got a nasty surprise at 5:30 in the morning - a 5 foot 6 inch crocodile was in her house. Jo Dodds tells us how it got in and how they got the croc out.
