The World Next Week podcast is up. Bob McMahon and I discussed the visit by inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to Iran; Florida’s GOP primary on January 31; and the continuing Supreme Court case in Pakistan involving President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani.

The highlights:

The Chicago Tribune reports that the IAEA is going to Tehran to talk about Iran’s nuclear program, and Reuters discusses a new report that finds Iran does not have the capability to build a nuclear weapon this year. The Los Angeles Times recounts how Romney and Gingrich are battling for the Hispanic vote in Florida, which proves crucial since a recent CNN/Time poll shows that the two candidates are virtually tied in the Sunshine State. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Gilani recently retracted his remarks against the military in his Supreme Court case according to Bloomberg Businessweek, and the New York Times explains that Gilani is doing what he can do avoid going to jail.
