Rachel Burden sits in. John Pienaar hears of a rebellion against Labour's leadership over Phil Woolas' treatment. Our health team looked at flu jabs and extra strong statins.

News from around the UK with Rachel Burden sitting in for Gabby Logan.

Pakistani cricketer Zulqarnain Haider has retired from international cricket and come to Britain because of threats by match-fixers. We hear the interview in which he explains why he has gone into hiding - and get reaction to his decision to flee.

The decision to suspend and disown expelled MP Phil Woolas, found guilty of lying by a special election court, has provoked what Labour MPs and former ministers are describing as a "mutiny" against the Labour leadership at Westminster. Our chief political correspondent John Pienaar says the Parliamentary party is in revolt against Harriet Harman in particular, following the High Court ruling against Mr Woolas last Friday.

And as it's Tuesday, we have our health team lined up. They're looking at what's in this year's seasonal flu jabs, and how extra-strong statins can reduce the chances of heart disease.
