"Galloway ROCKS!" That's the view of one of the commenters (under a post about Kylie) here on Newsblog in response to his appearance before a US Senate subcommittee meeting yesterday. It was spellbinding TV - the BBC has some footage of his testimony in case you missed it.

On to today's offerings. Matthew Tempest will be reporting on home secretary Charles Clarke's speech to the Association of Chief Police Officers' annual conference in Birmingham, in which he'll lay out his plans for reform of the police: he's expected to be greeted by a sceptical audience. Meanwhile Tom Happold will be blogging about the anti-ID cards campaign being led from the web.

On the world news front, Uzbekistan's government is finally allowing diplomats and journalists into Andijan following the weekend's violence, so we'll be following events there and hoping to hear more eyewitness accounts of what went on. Simon Jeffery will round up the latest reaction and news from around the web on Uzbekistan.

And finally, SocietyGuardian is covering the story of the robot conducting ward rounds at St Mary's hospital in London. In other robot news (it's not often I get the chance to write that), a woman has undergone Britain's first live transplant operation carried out with a robot.
