Robert Morgan is today's programme producer - here is his early email to the team.

Hello everyone,

There's quite a bit around today.

There's been a shock result in New Hampshire with egg on the faces of the pollsters and some of the media. Hillary Clinton and John McCain are the comeback kids. David and Ben are there. How should we do this story today?

Shares in Marks and Spencer have fallen sharply this morning, after the company announced disappointing Christmas sales figures. They were down more than two percent in the final three months of 2007, and the company has warned that it expects to have a tough time this year as well. Is the high street boom finally over? The MPC also decide what to do with interest rates tomorrow.

President Bush is in the Middle East.

Will there be any developments in peace talks in Kenya?

Belly dancer
It was already one of the most eccentric stories to come out of the Foreign Office in a long while. Britain鈥檚 ambassador to Uzbekistan gets fired after criticising the country鈥檚 human rights record and carrying on with a 22-year-old local belly dancer.
Now the story of Craig Murray has taken another equally eye-brow raising twist. He and his girlfriend are back in Britain - and they鈥檝e written a play about how they met. The piece, performed solely by his partner Nadira Berkhanov-Murray, is more harrowing than you might expect. Madeleine and Henrietta have the story.

Robert

POLLS ARE RUBBISH!

You should try and get Blair to talk to you- after all he is middle east envoy and I have seen him on the news once since he resigned- what's he up to?

Who was that smug pundit standing in the snow last night who had some advance knowledge of the exit polls showing that Obama's lead was 'only in single digits'. Can you get Paxman to kebab him?

Apparently the top three funding political lobbyists in the usa are organisations related to

1. Old people
2. USA Foreign Policy [i know NN goes to jelly if i mention them ;)]
3. People who own rifles.

why not find out who they favour in the race then compare that to who actually wins?

After all when there is a Labour contest people want to know what the unions think?

EMPIRE BUILDING

Sad British git throws all away for belly dancer. Surely this is the sort of thing that made Britain great? Gordon take note.

This form has already 'lost' one of my posts yesterday. Why is the 主播大秀 still using CGI scripts? Perl went out with the ark. Let's hope this time I do better.

In tonight's report please consider the impact of the rise of online spending. Nobody seems to publish aggregate figures and it is quite probable that the analysts predictions of doom are quite misguided.

'Is the high street boom finally over?'

Just a few random thoughts / observations:

- House of Frazer, John Lewis and others had a good Christmas.

- with house prices having rocketed over recent years, and many young people unable to afford housing, can't the slowing down of the economy be a way of adjusting this problem (of young people / housing market) which will then lead to a more stable economy?

- does the government have enough in the coffers to deal with a slowing-down. Does it have any leverage, at the moment, to influence how things go?
