Today is shaping up to be a busy news day. Guardian Unlimited Politics will continue to assess the impact of Blunkett's departure from government, as the cabinet meets for the first time in its new form and Charles Clarke settles into his new job. One of the first Home Office matters Clarke will have to handle is this morning's law lords ruling in favour of the nine detainees being held indefinitely without trial by the UK government, saying such measures are incompatible with European human rights legislation. A story is on the way and we'll also have profiles of the nine men, plus reaction and comment.
As EU leaders gather in Brussels to discuss setting a date for talks on Turkey's accession, we'll be phoning the Guardian's Brussels correspondent, Nick Watt, to record an audio report. Mark Oliver has been asking British Turks and Kurds about their views on Turkey's hopes of becoming part of the EU.
Meanwhile On Newsblog Mark Oliver will be testing the temperature at the UK political blogs in the wake of David Blunkett's resignation last night and I'll be looking at Jon Ronson's new blog.
And at 3pm the defence secretary, Geoff Hoon, will lay out details of his restructuring plans for the British military, so we'll be looking at which regiments will be affected and explaining what it all means.
