WHAT HAPPENED TO BABY P?
Two men were this week found guilty of causing the death of a 17-month-old boy known only as Baby P. Panorama reporter Alison Holt spoke to the paramedics who found him.
Following Baby P's death, four separate inquiries have been ordered. Why? Because he suffered horrific abuse, but Haringey Council in North London, which was criticised in the Victoria Climbie case, never took him into care. This was despite the fact that he had been put on the "at-risk" register and been visited more than 60 times by health and social work professionals and police over eight months.
On Monday Panorama will broadcast the findings of a six-month investigation into the mistakes and missed opportunities that led to this little boy's death.
Panorama: What Happened to Baby P? Monday 17 November - 8.30pm on BBC One.
COMING HOME?
A BBC poll found that 68 per cent of the British public would like to see British troops pulled out of Afghanistan in the next 12 months. The issue was discussed by a panel in a live programme on Thursday, as part of for Radio 4's In Afghanistan season.
Earlier this month, BBC correspondent Alastair Leithead assessed whether the country's war can actually be won in Panorama's Three Bloody Summers. He had been in the southern province of Helmand since the start of the British mission against Taleban there.
RUNWAY DEBATE
Plans for a proposed third runway at Heathrow are back in the news this week. The Conservatives have labelled the consultation over its need a "complete sham", while Transport Secretary Geoff Hoon assured that any approval would be subject to "stringent" environmental criteria.
Back in July Panorama's Friends in High Places programme investigated allegations that the government has been in cahoots with BAA over the expansion of the airport.
BAFTA WINNERS
Panorama has won a Scottish Bafta for best news and current affairs programme. Britain's Protection Racket was awarded for its undercover investigation into Britain's security industry. The report found that the industry is still scarred by a culture of violence and intimidation.
The programme set up its own security company in Merseyside. Would-be security guards went round Liverpool handing out business cards and trying to persuade businesses to switch their security contracts. But their arrival was not welcomed by rivals. If you missed it, you can still watch it on the Panorama website.
