The man accused of masterminding the 9/11 attacks is to be put on trial in New York, just a few blocks from where the Twin Towers used to stand.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed - and four other men - will be transferred from the detention centre at Guantanamo Bay and be tried in a civilian federal court.

The move is part of US President Barack Obama's efforts to close the detention centre at Guantanamo Bay, but some relatives of 9/11 victims say they oppose a federal court trial.

Tonight, we will be discussing the issues surrounding the trial with a relative of a 9/11 victim, plus senior US political and legal figures.

Also, Gordon Brown has confirmed he spoke to the owner of The Sun newspaper Rupert Murdoch, following the row over the letter of condolence he wrote to the mother of a soldier killed in Afghanistan.

The newspaper attacked Mr Brown over his letter to Jacqui Janes, whose son Jamie was killed in Helmand, saying it contained spelling mistakes, and further criticised him after he telephoned Mrs Janes to discuss the letter with her.

Our Culture Correspondent, Steve Smith will be looking at who won in the battle between The Sun and the prime minister.

We'll be asking what is behind the rise of "Ostaglie", the nostalgia for the GDR that many in and beyond Germany find baffling - there is even a GDR show on television. Has the failure of many to find the "blossoming landscapes" Helmut Kohl promised in 1989, obliterated memories of the hated Stasi and the thousands killed trying to escape? Or is the yearning for a simpler and more ordered way of life understandable?

We'll be discussing both Good Bye Lenin, and the Oscar winning The Lives of Others.

We'll also examine whether the more confrontational views of repression are coming from outside Germany, looking in particular at the Nobel Prize winning novelist, Herta Muller, and her deeply affecting novel, The Land of Green Plums.
