We head to Iowa where voters will need to brave below freezing temperatures to vote for their presidential candidate.  Winter storms have blanketed the state in snow and ice but the candidates have urged their supporters to brave the weather.  Iowa is the first major state-wide vote to decide who will be the Republican US presidential candidate for the 2024 election. Our reporter explains who the candidates are.  

We continue our coverage of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict as the hundredth day of the war has passed. We hear from Palestinians who have been displaced in Gaza and are living in a desperate state.  We also hear about the latest attack in the city of Ra'anan in Israel.  Israeli police say two Palestinian suspects have been arrested. 

Also on the programme, We hear from people in Yemen, as Britain's maritime security agency reports that another vessel has been attacked near the southern port city of Aden. Red Sea shipping routes have been targeted by Houthi militants in Yemen.  Our regional expert explains the background and wider implications of the ongoing conflict.
