There is a modicum of comfort today for the environmental campaigners known as the "McLibel two", who fought and lost a famous legal battle against McDonald's in the 1990s. The European Court of Human Rights ruled this morning that they should have been given legal aid by the British government. Mark Oliver will be looking at the background to the story, we've a stack of archive articles on the trial, and John Vidal, the author of McLibel, will be giving us his view.
A new survey has shown that British teenagers know how much a mini iPod costs but don't know the price of a pint of milk. Nor, coincidentally, do most of the people at the Guardian Unlimited news meeting I attended this morning, even though for most of them their teenage years are but a distant memory. Anyway, Sandra Haurant will have a quiz for you later today on Guardian Unlimited Money - see if you do better than we did.
Our graphics whizz Paddy Allen is looking at the new Boeing superplane. Hot on the heels of rival Airbus's 850-seater A380, the world's longest-range commercial aircraft will be able to fly nonstop to Sydney without refuelling (although on the way back it won't manage this feat with a full payload, as the wind will be against it).
Other than that, SocietyGuardian.co.uk have the producer of Brat Camp writing on why tough love works, and we've an interactive guide to London's proposed Olympic venues to impress the visiting IOC delegation. The British public, incidentally, don't think the London bid will win, but are backing it anyway. Very British.
