Today's newsdesk update

Hello, sorry we're a bit late again today.

The head of the troubled Child Support Agency has quit following widespread criticism of the organisation's record in getting cash to single mothers; SocietyGuardian.co.uk will be looking at what went wrong.

Today's Guardian has an exclusive interview with the Conservative leader Michael Howard and graphics supremo Paddy Allen has compiled this interactive graphic to the party's declining fortunes since 1983.

We'll be monitoring events on the ground in Iraq and reaction to the murder of aid worker Margaret Hassan, and Simon Jeffery will be looking at the Iraqi blogs. Later today the Royal Military Police will publish a report into the killing of six patrol members by a mob in Iraq last year. The findings have already been dismissed as a whitewash by the father of one of Lance-Corporal Thomas Keys, one of those who died.

Later tonight on Guardian Unlimited Football Barry Glendenning will be providing a minute-by-minute match report on the Spain v England friendly at the Bernabeu stadium in Madrid. Kick-off is at 20.45 GMT.

And on the Newsblog Jane Perrone will be getting to the bottom of the World Toilet Summit in Beijing.
