What we're working on today

The US push into Falluja is still top of our newslist today. Simon Jeffery will continue to try and find out what's going on there – not an easy task – while our man on the frontline, Ghaith Abdul-Ahad, will be filing an audio report. Have a look at our interactive guide if you're still confused.

We'll also be reporting on the latest from Paris, Ramallah and Jerusalem as the Palestinian and Israeli leaderships try to work out what to do after Yasser Arafat dies. Our "on this day" article provides an interesting counterpoint to the crisis, revealing how the Soviet Union dealt with the death of Leonard Brezhnev 22 years ago.

In Britain, the Health and Safety Executive has published its initial verdict on the weekend's fatal rail crash in Berkshire, the Scottish Executive is expected to ban smoking in pubs and restaurants, and Tony Blair is facing MPs for the first time since the start of the Falluja offensive. I'll be doing live coverage of that.

Our Paris correspondent, Amelia Gentleman, has also written us a fascinating piece about how a French nuclear protester, who chained himself to the rails to stop a train carrying radioactive waste, has prompted unease about rail safety.
