Election officials in Florida have confirmed that Barack Obama won the state in Tuesday's US presidential election. The victory by just 1% widens Mr Obama's victory margin over his Republican rival, Mitt Romney. It means Mr Obama won eight out of nine of the crucial swing states. From Washington, here is Zoe Conway.
This result will not come as a surprise to either President Obama or governor Romney. It's been assumed that the president would win since late on Tuesday. But it's significant. Nonetheless, it further strengthens President Obama's negotiating position when it comes to doing deals with Republicans in Congress. And because there are so many Latino voters in the state, the result will also reinforce the message the Republicans need to do more to win the Hispanic vote. Exit polls suggest the Florida's Cuban Americans voted for the Democratic party in record numbers.
There has been a flare-up of fighting on the border between Israel and Gaza strip, at least four Palestinians have been killed and around 20 wounded. John Donaldson reports from Ramallah.

Sources in Gaza say earlier Palestinian fighters fired a missile at an Israeli army Jeep. There are reports of Israeli casualties. Flare-ups in violence in and around Gaza are frequent. On Thursday a 13-year-old Palestinian boy was killed as militants clashed with Israeli soldiers.
The Danish government is to scrap a controversial tax on fatty foods, the first of its kind in the world which was introduced last year to tackle obesity. Plans for a tax on sugar have also been dropped. Mark Gregory reports from Copenhagen.
It's no surprise that Denmark's coalition government has killed off the fat tax. The country's chamber of commerce claimed that the unpopular legislation had cost more than 1,000 jobs, had eaten into the company's revenue and had failed to improve the nation's health. One major supermarket chain claimed that customers hit by the rising cost of goods containing saturated fat such as cheese, pizzas and butter has started to shop in northern Germany in order to take advantage of lower prices. The chain warned that it would start building stores across the border if the tax wasn't scrapped.
Officials in Guinea say the head of the public treasury, Aissatou Boiro who had fought against public corruption has been shot dead.

Earlier this year, Aissatou Boiro was reported to have foiled a plot to embezzle nearly $2m from Guinea's central bank.

Saturday's march by serving members of the military as well as veterans, spouses and supportive members of the public was a disciplined affair. The legal status of such events is ambiguous so there was no slogan shouting. But those taking parts said there was great anger at government plans to erode rights such as health care and, above all, the freezing of promotions at time when some members of the military are finding it difficult to make ends meet.
