The rigour and honesty of the scientists at the heart of the "climategate" row is not in doubt, according to the third and final inquiry into the release of around a thousand emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit.
But the same inquiry team came to the potentially damaging conclusion that a graph from the scientists, used prominently by the World Meteorological Organisation was "misleading", though there had been no intent to mislead.
Tonight our science editor Susan Watts asks what damage has been done to the case for action on climate change and where does the debate go from here. We'll talk to Yvo de Boer, who was, until last week, the UN's top climate change official.
Read Susan's blog. The Defence Secretary Liam Fox has confirmed that British troops in the Sangin area of Afghanistan's Helmand province are to be replaced by US forces.
The UK has suffered its heaviest losses in the area, with 99 deaths since 2001.
The military insists the move is a redeployment, - about 1,000 Royal Marines are expected to be moved to central Helmand by the end of this year - now there are more US troops on the ground. But the Taliban are certain to portray it as a defeat.
Our diplomatic editor Mark Urban will give us his take on events.
And as the hunt for the suspected armed killer Raoul Moat continues, we'll look at the role of the media in the case. Does coverage of cases like these create the risk of a copycat element? Our report will feature an interview with the leading criminologist David Canter.
And we'll have the Slovenian philosopher and psychoanalyst Slavoj Zizek live in the studio. Apart from predicting the end of global capitalism he has described cinema as the ultimate pervert art.
In 2006 he presented "The Pervert's Guide to Cinema" which offered an introduction to some of his most exciting ideas on fantasy, reality, sexuality, subjectivity, desire, materiality and cinematic form.
Should be interesting.
