Bush in the Holy Land

There's a lot at stake this week as President Bush begins his Middle East visit today – as failure to create a long-sought peace between Israelis and Palestinians may cause further political fallout in the region. Israeli settlers began constructing new outposts on Palestinian land, and rockets were launched into Israel from Gaza as Bush began his visit, which is a follow up to the Middle East Conference in Annapolis, Maryland in November. And while there is some optimism, some analysts say the meetings may not yield any results. Anneli Radestad reports from Jerusalem.

Hilary and McCain Took New Hampshire

Two states have now chosen who they want to be the Presidential nominees: New Hampshire voters chose their candidates last night and they chose differently than Iowa. Of more than 200,000 votes cast between the two, Hillary Clinton beat Obama by 7,000 votes… definitely a desired outcome by the Clinton campaign. John Edwards finishes a distant third and Richardson then Kucinich round up the Democratic ticket. FSRN's Leigh Ann Caldwell reports from the campaign trail.

The Stragglers Keep Pushing in Presidential Race

The frontrunners from the New Hampshire Primary command almost all media attention. Yet those who are lagging behind continue to campaign vigorously. As Yanmei Xie reports, these stragglers are a reminder that the race is not all about winning.

Sri Lanka 's Tea Estate Workers

Sri Lankan government's announcement to withdraw from the 2002 truce signed with the Tamil Tiger rebels has sent shock waves across the country. The government's move to find a military solution to the long running ethnic issue has affected the economy and the cost of living is rising at a rocket speed. FSRN's Ponniah Manikavasagam reports on tea estate workers who depend on daily wages to make ends meet.

Philip Agee Passes

Philip Agee, known as the first major defector from the ranks of the Central Intelligence Agency, died yesterday in Cuba. His book, "Inside the Company: CIA Diary", exposed the agency's activities and agents – provoking an aggressive response from the US government. Tanya Snyder reports.
