This is Newsy Now and here are your latest headlines.
 

In U.S. news — Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is now two for two: he won the Iowa caucuses, and last night, he finished first at the New Hampshire primary. CNN takes a look at the numbers and explains why they’re significant.  
 

“Romney came out on top with double digit leads over Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman, who took second and third. … But this victory wasn’t a surprise, not to most. He was expected to win, it’s the size of his win that’s really grabbing attention, however. Is it enough to get the party to finally rally behind him?”
 

Still in U.S. news — today marks the 10th anniversary of the arrival of the first prisoners at the controversial detention camp Guantánamo Bay.
 

Despite some efforts to close the facility, the Department of Defense says 171 prisoners are still there. Only seven are scheduled for trial and only 89 are eligible for release. MSNBC has more.
 

MSNBC: “President Obama ordered the facility closed in January 2009.”
Obama: “Guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now.”
MSNBC: “But congressional roadblocks slowed the closing. And debate continues over the existence of the prison, and its policies. Some analysts predict the facility may stay in business for a while.”
 

In world news — one Iranian nuclear scientist was killed after a bomb attack on his car. This, as Iran faces increasing international economic sanctions for its nuclear program. Reports say this is the fourth attack on Iranian nuclear scientists in the past two years. euronews has more.
 

"State news agency Fars named the victim as 32-year-old Ahmadi Roshan, who worked at the Natanz enrichment facility. … A report by the International Atomic Energy Agency published in November suggested that Iran may be building nuclear weapons. Tehran has repeatedly dismissed Western accusations that its nuclear programme is for military purposes.”
 

Still in world news — one member of the Arab League observers team in Syria has quit the mission. He says the Syrian government has continued to lie to the team. Al Jazeera has his remarks.
 

“The regime didn’t meet any of our requests. In fact, they were trying to deceive us and steer us away from what was really happening, toward insignificant things. They did not withdraw their tanks from the streets. They just hid them and redeployed them after we left.”
 

In tech news — the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show is currently underway in Las Vegas. Designed to exhibit the latest from the technology world, it now has more than 3,100 exhibitors — the event’s record. Here’s BBC, with a few gadget highlights from the show.
 

BBC: “...A 3D printer, they’re all the rage at the moment. Not quite clear what they are. But Kathy can explain.”
Kathy: “I can. A 3D printer will take your creation and print it for you layer by layer by layer.”

Qooq: “Qooq has been designed for the kitchen. It mean it resist to high temperature, to the water, or even tomato sauce. You can throw anything on it -- it works."

“This Amazon Kindle has got something different. Fold the case. It has a solar panel on the cover...”
