What we're up to today

The latest in our series of reports from Africa for the Guardian's Christmas appeal features Madeleine Bunting's audio slideshow on the Aids orphans of Mozambique, with photographs from Martin Godwin.

In national news, we'll be writing about reaction to the government's decision not to hold an inquiry into the July 7 bombings, and another fire is ablaze at the Buncefield oil depot in Hemel Hempstead: meanwhile investigators are looking into claims by a tanker driver that he triggered the initial blast by flicking his engine cut-out switch while there was a vapour leak from the plant.

And in international news, we'll be finding out what the bloggers are saying about Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's latest controversial statement saying the holocaust is a "myth", and rounding up some of his other comments that have brought criticism from the rest of the world. Guardian Unlimited Politics will be looking at Britain's latest plans to break the EU budget deadlock, and we'll be keeping an eye on Lebanon, where people will be using the funeral of newspaper editor Gibran Tueni to express their anger against Syria, which has been baled for his death.

On News blog we'll have posts from the world trade talks in Hong Kong from Glenys Kinnock and Green MEP Caroline Lucas.
