Crunch Time For US Candidates

Current World News

On the award winning sky.com news tonight – all the top stories online, including a discussion on the truly shocking YouTube video clip – apparently showing a gang rape.

The footage depicts a 25-year-old being attacked in front of her screaming young children. She says her drink was spiked. The offence is bad enough, the taping of it nasty, but what are we to make of the people who watched the clip? Perverts? Or curious surfers who didn’t appreciate what they had happened upon until it was too late. And what did they do next? Click right by on the other side of the screen?  The Sky News report is being discussed in Parliament as I write – we’ll have the latest reaction tonight from 7.30pm.

We’ll also have our usual collection of stories that are rising up the click list – we call them the Movers – tonight reviewed by Oxford University Internet Expert, Ian Brown.

In Part 2, we are planning to get live updates on the build up to the results from Super Tuesday, take 2, with our online colleagues in the USA.

Obama or Clinton? Today is a critical day for both Democratic candidates and will almost certainly seal John McCain’s candidacy for the Republicans. So, in a campaign season where many of the key developments have originated on the web, what’s the real buzz about where the USA is heading?

Have the negative attacks from the Clinton team damaged Barack Obama? Or has the Senator’s train the White House nomination now gathered unstoppable momentum?   

We’ll be hearing from Sky colleagues in Washington and bloggers in today’s key states.

All this – and the best of the most watched web videos, tonight from 7.30pm – Sky News TV or sky.com/news.
