Surprises in the US Primaries
The primary season has only just started - and it has already been full of shocks.
Bernie Sanders suprised many observers by running Hillary Clinton breathtakingly close in Iowa. He is expected to do even better in New Hampshire. The contrast with the Republicans is stark, where the outsider candidate Donald Trump surprised people by not coming first. Jon Sopel reports on a contest that has been topsy-turvy throughout.
Also, oil-rich Nigeria has to borrow; the fall of a ruling family; and Britain and the EU decide the terms on which people will vote whether to leave the EU or stay.
