Iran has agreed to release another employee at the British embassy in Tehran, leaving one staff member still in detention. Iran arrested nine staff at the embassy, blaming them for involvement in inciting post-election protests.
A worker at Disneyland in the United States has been killed in a monorail crash. The staff was operating one of the trains which collided at theme park in the early hours of the morning. Investigators are trying to determine what caused the crash.

The wife of incoming security chief John Sawers had posted family photographs and their home address on Facebook. The government quickly ordered the web page be removed. That watered down concern by saying it was no state secret that Sir John wears Speedo swimming trunks.
