Is an international spy swap currently underway? Unconfirmed Russian news reports say Igor Sutyagin, a scientist convicted of espionage, has been flown to the Austrian capital Vienna, supposedly as part of an exchange deal for 10 suspected Russian spies who are about to face charges in a New York court. We'll have the latest on what could be the most dramatic moment for Russian and American agencies since the Cold War.

We'll also have the latest from Northumberland on the hunt for the gunman Raoul Moat following today's police press conference.

We were reminded of the threat from terrorism today when three of the men involved in the airline bomb plot were convicted of conspiracy to murder. The convictions come on the day the government announced it would not appeal against a European Court of Human Rights ruling that Section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000 - the power to search people without suspicion - is unlawful. There were immediately accusations from some quarters that the coalition is not being sufficiently tough on terrorism. We'll debate.

And amid all the economic uncertainty you might seek refuge in a museum. But, like the rest of us, they too are under pressure to tighten their belts. One way museums could save money is to sell off what they don't need. But by their very nature, museum folk are hoarders. Madeleine Holt has met one curator who has pioneered disposing of unwanted artefacts - and took him to convince some others. Read more on that here.
