We'll bring you the latest today on the rescue and relief operation on the Gulf coast of America after Hurricane Katrina. We're also looking at the phenomenon of looting - why people do it, and what response by the authorities is appropriate. We're hoping to receive an audio report from Julian Borger in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His eyewitness report from New Orleans gives a flavour of the appalling conditions survivors face.

In Beslan, relatives of the hundreds of people killed after Chechen militants stormed a school are today commemorating the first anniversary of the massacre, while in Iraq the first funerals of the nearly 1,000 people killed in yesterday's bridge tragedy are taking place.

Below on Newsblog Simon Jeffery explains why South Korea is worried about Google Earth.

In UK news, we examine plans to allow murder victims' relatives to have their say in court, and Conservative leadership candidate Kenneth Clarke's attack on Tony Blair over the Iraq war. And last but not least, for those of you who also enjoy our print product, the launch-date has been announced for the new-look, all-colour, smaller Guardian.
