Anders Behring Breivik continues to be questioned over his killing spree that left 77 dead in Norway last July
Breivik and the prosecutor are in disagreement over what should be the topic of discussion this morning.
Breivik wants to discuss "radicalisation points" - "the most important thing for you to care about rather than uniforms and computer games."

Breivik described himself yesterday as a "militant Christian" but not particularly religious. On the first day of his trial he said he was drawn to Catholicism.
For the first time since the trial began, Breivik has not given a closed-fist salute at the start of the day's proceedings in court.
Breivik arrives. Does not perform his right arm salute being asked not to by his defence lawyer following request from victims & bereaved.

Good morning. Welcome to live coverage of day four of the trial of Anders Behring Breivik.
The chief judge said yesterday that today's proceedings would focus on the events leading up to 22 July last year and on the bomb that Breivik has admitted planting in the government quarter of Oslo, killing eight people.
TV cameras are once more banned from broadcasting but the Guardian's Helen Pidd is in court and will be filing updates.
Breivik said yesterday he would prefer execution over a "pathetic" 21-years jail term.
Here is a link to yesterday's blog.
