| THURSDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER 22.30 BST - BBC TWO FROM PROGRAMME PRODUCER ROBERT MORGAN Hello Jeremy Paxman is presenting tonight's programme. Economic Bailout? Deal or no deal on the banking bailout? $700 billion is still the eye watering figure being asked for by US Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson to bailout the US economy and the White House have said that failure to get the deal signed off by Congress could result in a "financial calamity". The American presidential candidates - John McCain and Barack Obama - are on their way to the White House to join talks on the rescue package just before we go to air. We'll bring you all the latest developments and be speaking to a senior US politician involved in the talks. Condi We have an exclusive interview with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice who is attending The Women Leaders' Working Group at the UN General Assembly today. Arguably the most powerful woman in the world, we'll be asking about her experience in the male dominated Bush administration, about any regrets she has over American foreign policy and how the current financial crisis might affect America's standing in the world. Back to Iraq The impact of the so called "troop surge" in Iraq is now undeniable. Our Diplomatic Editor Mark Urban has been to the Baghdad suburb of Doura, recently described as "the worst place in Iraq", three times over the past 16 months. Mark has been there and in an extended film tonight reports on some extraordinary changes in every day life there. You can read Mark Urban's latest blog posting on Iraq here: Missed Newsnight?
