Featuring Alastair Campbell, Google Books, Michelle Forbes from True Blood and updates from Jack Straw at the Iraq Inquiry.

Alastair Campbell speaks to Richard about his emotional moment on the Andrew Marr programme, where he appeared to break down when questioned about whether Tony Blair misled parliament on the Iraq war.

Senior Met office Commander Ali Dizaei is found guilty of perverting the course of justice and misconduct. Reaction comes from the CPS on the steps of the court.

Plus, updates from Jack Straw who returns to give evidence to the Iraq Inquiry for the second time, rejecting claims that he ignored advice that the Iraq war was illegal.

Richard's Big Obsession is Google Books. Google's plans for creating the world's largest online library are creating quite a storm in the book world and dividing authors across the globe. Angry writers call in to challenge Santiago de la Mora who runs Google Book Search in Europe, over the plans.

Richard also speaks to Michelle Forbes, who plays Maryann in True Blood and has starred in 24, Prison Break, Battlestar Galactica, Lost and Seinfeld.
