David Sells followed up his report from Monday on the alleged links between Sir Mark and those currently in jail suspected of being the mercenaries behind the coup.
Gavin talked to Sipho Ngwema from the South African police anti-fraud unit, the Scorpions.
Russia crashes
Two passenger aircraft crashed in very suspicious circumstances. Terrorism? The Chechens staging their own version of September 11? Poor security? Just a terrible coincidence? We pieced together the day's events.
We spoke to the Russian Ambassador to London Grigory Karasin.
Impeachment
The Plaid Cymru MP Adam Price will be launching a bid to impeach the Prime Minister for a variety of things, primarily for allegedly taking the country to war on a false prospective. We looked at how you go about impeaching a Prime Minister and asked if Tony Blair's failings could qualify for the treatment.
Gavin was joined by Adam Price and the Labour MP Keith Vaz who's on the Constitutional Affairs Select Committee.
Forced marriages
The Foreign office says an increasing number of young British women - perhaps as many as 250 this year - are being forced into marriages abroad. Many are taken on holiday or to go to a family wedding or funeral and then are forced into marriage on their arrival in the Indian sub-continent. We had a special report from our Delhi correspondent Navdip Dhariwal.
