Tonight, Newsnight reveals a new survey that shows the extent of the cutbacks to speed cameras being considered by councils in England. After losing some of the cash from central government others are set to follow Oxfordshire, and switch off the 'gatsos' for good. But will an increase in casualties be an inevitable consequence of ending what the government calls the 'war on the motorist'? Liz McKean reports from Wiltshire where speed cameras are on the way out.

A year after Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was cheered onto Libyan tarmac, American senators continue their campaign to hunt out any hint of impropriety in the decision to release the only person convicted of the Lockerbie bombing. This afternoon they have published what they claim is evidence of commercial pressure behind the decision. We'll ask one of them if it really changes the fundamental facts.

And at a loose end? Well perhaps one of the Labour leadership contenders can offer you a hot ticket. David Miliband, the former foreign secretary, has issued instructions to his supporters on his website on how to host the perfect political party; 'give the place a quick vacuum and general tidy' and 'put the oven on and get the nibbles in'. It's all part of his plan to get activists excited and of course fighting for him in Labour's leadership campaign. Newsnight's Steve Smith has the drinks chilling.
