1. The US presidential candidates have turned their attention to New Hampshire after Iowa officials confirmed Hillary Clinton had won narrowly against Bernie Sanders on the Democrat side. New Hampshire holds a primary next week. It has a more politically moderate and less religious electorate than Iowa - which puts Republican winner Ted Cruz at a disadvantage. Sanders is a senator of neighbouring Vermont and has a handy lead in opinion polls over Clinton. The Democrats hold a debate on CNN tomorrow.

7. Rome has been ordered to clean up the management of its city-owned property after a study found some apartments being rented for a song because no one had bothered raising rent.
