Hello,

Tax cuts
On tonight's Newsnight, Jeremy will be kicking off with the thorny issue of tax cuts. As the three political parties compete to hint at the best stimulus package for our floundering economy, Gordon Brown gives his annual keynote speech to the City of London at the Mansion House, where our big editorial guns also lie in wait for him. We ask exactly what he and the other political leaders can actually offer and, more worryingly, can it work.

Obama
Barack Obama gets his first look inside the Oval Office tonight as President Bush gives him and his wife the guided tour. While Michelle measures up the curtains and the kids fight for the best bedroom, what will the incoming and outgoing Presidents find to talk about? As the transition team get busy listing all the Bush legislation that's due for the chop the day after inauguration, David Grossman has the Obama hitlist, including such items as the stem cell research funding ban, and decisions on offshore oil drilling.

Missing bomb
An extraordinary story from the Cold War when an American B52 carrying 4 Atom bombs crashed into the Greenland ice sheet 40 years ago. Fortunately none of them went off. Unfortunately, one of them is still missing, now thought to be at the bottom of the Ocean possibly leaking plutonium. The BBC's security correspondent Gordon Corera investigates what befell those who undertook the secret clean-up.

Miriam Makeba
And a rare and beautiful piece of footage of the late Miriam Makeba at the height of her powers, taking Europe by storm in concert back in 1966. Not to be missed.
