Being Italian is bad for your health! Well at least that's the contention from Bologna where winter is descending and a range of ailments, unknown to British correspondent Dany Mitzman, are making their presence felt! It's election time in the Democratic Republic of Congo and while you might expect the sounds of tear gas canisters being fired and angry argument about electoral fraud, Will Ross has encountered a more unexpected accompaniment: an orchestra playing Handel's Water Music! A bag of snakes tipped out in a government office in India - Craig Jeffrey says the incident's once again got the country talking about corruption. A book fair --and a beating up: Sara Sheridan in the United Arab Emirates on the issues surrounding the release from prison of a group of people accused of being disrespectful to the ruling family. And it might be chilly in Des Moines, Iowa, but the state's preparing for its moment in the political sunlight. It's time for the Iowa caucuses, critical for Republicans hoping to become their party's candidate for the White House.
