But Nikki Haley drops out of the Republican presidential race. Also: Alexei Navalny's widow calls for an election day protest against Putin; and the Oscar nominated film about an LA repair shop that fixes musical instruments for free.

Chris Christie - the only Republican candidate to publically call out Trump’s flaws - has pulled out of the presidential race. Does his departure open the door to Nikki Haley - to beat Trump to the Republican nomination?

If she wins the New Hampshire primary in ten days time then all bets are off. Last night saw a cantankerous debate between the two candidates left in the race - whilst Trump was AWOL once again.

Is this the last chance Republicans have to turn the race around?

Also, who is Stephen Bradshaw, what did he do, and why has he become the latest villain in the post office scandal?
