Football is not coming home - well not for another 20 years at least - after football's governing body Fifa this afternoon picked Russia to stage the 2018 World Cup.

The England bid team had hoped that lobbying in Zurich by Prince William, David Cameron and David Beckham would give them an advantage however, England actually went out in the first round of the vote with just two of the 22 votes.

Tonight, leading football writer Jim White will give us his take on the troubled bid, and we hope to be speaking to a member of the England bid team.

We have a film on hydraulic fracturing, a process known as fracking, a controversial way to get at natural gas trapped in shale rock a couple of miles underground.

Cleaner than coal, it is being hailed by some as the latest energy solution. But some, especially people who claim the process has contaminated their water supply with methane, are asking if it is safe. Susan Watts has been finding out.

And David Grossman will be dipping into the first tranche of MPs' expenses claims, which has been published online by the new Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa). Ipsa was set up in the wake of the expenses scandal to restore faith in the way MPs allowances were run - has it worked?

Join Gavin for all that and more at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
