It was Juvenal who said quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who guards the guards themselves?

Tonight, as a senior judge launches a scathing attack on MI5 over the treatment of former Guantanamo Bay detainee Binyam Mohamed, we will be asking the same question - namely who has oversight of the security services.

We will also be talking women and power and whether if things really would be different if women ruled the world.

Women politicians from around the world are meeting in New York for the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

They're working to set up a new UN Agency for Women, "which offers the prospect that the agenda for women.... can move beyond making demands of male-dominated structures".

But can initiatives of this kind really make a difference to women's lives? Or is all just empty rhetoric? We'll be speaking live to the Deputy Prime Minister Harriet Harman, who's in New York.

And Michael Crick has an interesting report, linked to the lot of women in politics.

Do join Gavin at 10:30.
