From the CNN center in Atlanta, I'm Nicole Lapin. Thanks so much for checking in with us today. Here is a look at what's happening NOW IN THE NEWS.

 

Britain's Defense1 Ministry2 has now said that Prince Harry3, third in line for the throne, is serving on the front lines in Afghanistan and has been since December. He is scheduled to be there until April. And you might remember there was this great debate last year over whether or not Harry should actually serve any active duty at all in actual combat zones. All British media are now reporting that his deployment4 is being reviewed as the highest levels of the Ministry of Defense.

 

Peace is once again possible in Kenya. President Mwai Kibaki and opposition5 leader Raila Ordinga had agreed to a power sharing agreement. Mr. Kibaki will now remain president; Ordinga will serve as a newly created Prime Minister's post. The deal ends a political deadlock6 that spurred a violent protest in December's disputed election.

 

It's no longer just about whether or not Roger Clemens took drug but whether or not he lied about it under oath. The baseball star's testimony7 conflicts with sworn testimony from Brian McNamee and Andy Pettit. So Congress has now asked the Attorney General to investigate Clemens's statements.

 

About 40,000 people who got medical care at a Las Vegas clinic may have been exposed to hepatitis, where now public health officials say that six patients contracted the virus at that clinic. So an investigation8 is underway to try to determine if the staff reused syringes to administer anesthesia. Now health officials are notifying everybody treated at the clinic between March of 2004 and January 11th of this year, basically telling them that they need to be tested for hepatitis B and C as well as HIV.

 

No child should go without the flu shot this year and that's the very latest recommendation from a federal advisory9 panel. The group is now suggesting that all kids older than six months old should be vaccinated10 against the virus, the only exception, kids with serious allergies11 to eggs. Pediatricians say that by that scene all kids you really keep them from spreading the virus to other high risk groups.

 

Those are the headlines at this hour. For more on those stories and other news of the day, CNN is always your source online, on TV or on your cell phone.
