NEXT PANORAMA - OMAGH: WHAT THE POLICE WERE NEVER TOLD - MONDAY 8.30PM BBC ONE

Hello again.

RACE AGAINST TIME

It's been a busy week here on Panorama with us not only putting out Can Money Grow on Trees? our report on a new plan to save the Amazon rainforest, on Monday, but also an extra programme on Tuesday.

That programme, Terror in the Skies?, reported on the liquid bomb plot trial.

On Monday came the breaking news that the jury in the trial had reached a verdict, triggering a rush of activity as we raced to make final changes to our programme which was to air the next day.

It was a hectic 24 hours of final edits and legal checks, but we are not complaining - after all it's times like these which make the job exciting.

RETRIAL RESTRICTIONS

In Terror in the Skies? Panorama reporter and al-Qaeda authority Peter Taylor gave a detailed explanation of the bomb plot - who was involved, how it unfolded, and how the intelligence services worked to avert disaster.

Ordinarily you are able to watch all past Panorama episodes on our website for a year after transmission, but in the case of Terror in the Skies? the prosecutors seeking a retrial means that you won't be able to.

You can read all about that call for a retrial
here.

OMAGH INVESTIGATION

This Monday Panorama returns to another terror investigation, the one which followed the 1998 bombing of Omagh in Northern Ireland.

Twenty nine people and unborn twins died in the blast and a further 200 people were injured, making it the single worst atrocity of the Troubles.

Ten years on, still no-one is in jail for the devastating attack.

In Omagh: What the Police Were Never Told, our award-winning reporter John Ware sheds new light on the attack and the subsequent investigation.

He reveals secret intelligence which raises news questions about whether the attack could have been averted, or the culprits brought to justice.

Omagh: What the Police Were Never Told is on Monday, 8.30pm, BBC One.

FOREST FUND

As we have said, this week Panorama reported on efforts to save the Amazon rainforest.

Reporter Ben Anderson travelled to Guyana and Brazil to examine a new plan to make the trees more valuable alive than dead.

It's a bid to apply capitalism to a problem that NGO's and environmentalists have been working on for years.

Supporters of the scheme include Guyana's President Bharrat Jagdeo who explained why he thinks we all need to do more to save what is the world's largest rainforest
here.

If you didn't see the programme it is available on
BBC iPlayer.

Plus there's lots more information on our website.

You can watch
video reports from our team on their journey through the rainforest or you can flick through our Amazon picture gallery.

You can also read
a response from the UK Environment Secretary Hilary Benn to Mr Jagdeo's offer of stewardship of Guyana's entire rainforest to the UK.

CHILD PROTECTION

In other news, BBC Current Affairs is producing a programme on child protection. We are looking at what progress has been made since the death of Victoria Climbie in 2000, the subsequent inquiry by Lord Laming, and the government reforms which followed.

We want to hear from SOCIAL WORKERS involved in child protection.

What's it like working on the frontline of children's services in the UK today?

What has been the impact on child protection of the government reforms contained in Every Child Matters?

Are children at risk from harm better protected now than they were when Victoria was murdered?

We would like to know what you think and what you feel would help you to improve the safety of the most vulnerable members of society. Your communications will be treated IN CONFIDENCE.
