Voters in New Hampshire choose their candidate for the Republican presidential nomination

We head to New Hampshire in the United States where polls have opened and voters begin to pick their preferred candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.  Donald Trump is facing his last remaining Republican opponent, Nikki Haley.  Opinion polls suggest Donald Trump is the clear front-runner.  Our correspondent is in New Hampshire and reports the latest.

Also on the programme, we bring you the latest on the joint wave of strikes by the US and UK against the Houthis in Yemen for their attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.  We explain who the Houthis are, and our security correspondent answers your questions about the airstrikes.

Germany's constitutional court has ruled that the far right party, Die Heimat, will no longer be eligible for financial support from the state. The case is being watched by the much larger Alternative for Germany party, or AfD, which is doing well in opinion polls.   There’s been huge protests against the far right across Germany.  We hear from people who were at the protests.

The 2024 Oscars have been announced in Hollywood, we hear who the top contenders are, and who's got the most nominations.
