| NEXT PANORAMA - ADDICTED TO AID - MONDAY 8.30PM
BABY P FAILURES
This week Panorama revealed new information about the death of Baby P, the north London toddler who died in August last year after suffering months of horrific abuse.
His mother and two men are due to be sentenced next month for causing or allowing the boy's death, but questions about why Haringey Social Services failed to properly protect him remain.
A six-month investigation by Panorama revealed the mistakes and missed opportunities which led to the boy's death.
Crucially we discovered that a senior social worker and police did not want Baby P returned home.
Panorama found social worker Sylvia Henry wanted him to go into foster care after he was taken to a north London hospital in 2006 with non-accidental injuries.
But her bosses decided Baby P should be looked after by a family friend.
Haringey Social Services dispute some of the claims made in the programme and you can read their statement on our website.
LIST LEAKED
The death of Baby P has caused public outrage and triggered an internet hate campaign against his abusers in which some people have breached a court order concealing the identities of his mother and her boyfriend by posting their names online.
The internet was at the centre of another identity leak this week when a document containing details of 12,000 members of the British Nationalist Party (BNP) were published online.
A Merseyside police officer has been suspended after his name appeared on the list. The Merseyside force specifically bans all officers from membership of the BNP.
In October, Panorama reported on continuing racism within our police ranks in The Secret Policeman Returns.
In the programme Britain's most senior black police officer, Kent Chief Constable Mike Fuller, told Panorama that ethnic minority police have to work harder than their white colleagues to succeed.

PROSTITUTION PROSECUTION
On Wednesday Home Secretary Jacqui Smith announced that paying for sex with prostitutes who are controlled by pimps is set to become a criminal offence in England and Wales.
Anyone who knowingly pays illegally trafficked women for sex could face rape charges, while kerb crawlers could face prosecution for a first offence.
In March this year a Panorama investigation uncovered how girls, sometimes as young as 12, are being groomed for prostitution by gangs on the streets of Britain.
In what is often a hidden crime, gangs are targeting young girls in a process that starts as adolescent fun but soon leads to abuse, drug addiction and prostitution.
You can also learn more about and watch that award-winning film, Teenage Sex For Sale, on our website right now.
ADDICTED TO AID
In a twist on traditional aid appeals, Monday's Panorama sees award-winning African reporter Sorious Samura visit his home country of Sierra Leone and Uganda not to beg for cash but to reveal how aid money is lost, stolen and frittered away.
He visits a showpiece hospital which lacks basic drugs and equipment and looks like something out of a war zone and asks why down the road at the well-funded health department the car park is packed with dozens of new 4x4 vehicles bought for ministry staff.
He questions a former minister accused of stealing funds and offers his vision of how Africans can take control of their own destiny.
Addicted to aid is on BBC One at 8.30pm on Monday 24 November.
