US forces ignored torture and abuse of Iraqi detainees, claims Wikileaks; Portsmouth administrator says the club as close to administration as safety; Hitler pic causes suspension.

The biggest leak of US military documents in history suggests that senior US commanders knew that Iraqi forces were abusing their prisoners, but ignored what was going on. We speak to investigative journalist David Leigh from The Guardian who has studied the documents with Colonel Richard Kemp, a former commander of British Forces.

Portsmouth FC's administrator, Andrew Andronikou says that the former owner and key creditor Sacha Gaydamak is the barrier to securing the club's future and that Pompey is as close to administration as to safety.

And at the end of the programme, we speak to Mike Gardener, the leader of Harrogate Borough Council. He's been suspended from the Conservative Party after being photographed dressed as Adolf Hitler and giving a Nazi salute. He tells us he went to the same party last year dressed as Dracula and no-one raised an eyebrow.

Presented by Phil Williams and Rachel Burden.
