Hello,
An "Emergency Budget
Chancellor Alastair Darling shocked taxpayers across Britain tonight by raising the personal tax allowance by £600 in an attempt to buy off opposition to the scrapping of the 10p tax rate. Anyone earning up to £40,835 will gain £120 this year. The move will cost £2.7bn and will simply come from increased borrowing. It's hard to think of a Chancellor rewriting a budget in such a spectacular way. Where does this leave the Government's authority and can we believe what the Treasury tells us in the future? Tonight on Newsnight, Jeremy has a face to face interview with the Chancellor, and Paul Mason will explain what this means for taxpayers.
"Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts"
If you take six young fashion lovers and ask them to work in textile factories in India, what would they discover? The BBC Three series "Blood, Sweat and Tears" has undertaken just such an experiment, and the results have been fascinating. We have two of the participants, Stacey and Georgina, and a representative from British retailing to discuss the often desperate labour conditions behind cheap t-shirts.
UFO Sightings
And Stephen Smith has seen secret Ministry of Defence files which reveal how seriously the authorities took UFO sightings, and those infamous crop circles.

Don't be fooled about what the REAL news story is today
