Each day, we here at "Piers Morgan Tonight" put together the news you need to know – from what happened last night to what will happen today.

For February 7, 2012 – Russian envoy arrives in Syria, President Barack Obama changes position and will back super PAC and Randy Travis is arrested for public intoxication...

• Obama changes position, will back super PAC: "In a change of position, Barack Obama's reelection campaign will begin using administration and campaign aides to fundraise for Priorities USA Action, a super PAC backing the president. Obama has been an outspoken critic of current campaign financing laws, in particular a Supreme Court ruling that allowed the creation of super PACs."

Randy Travis arrested for public intoxication: "Country star Randy Travis was arrested in Sanger, Texas, early Monday morning for public intoxication.
