FROM PROGRAMME PRODUCER ROBERT MORGAN

Hello,

Baby P
Two men have been convicted of causing or allowing the death of a 17-month-old child who suffered dozens of injuries, even though he was being monitored by social workers. The boy's mother admitted the same offence. Officials in Haringey, in North London say three professionals involved in the case have received written warnings. The government has ordered a review of child protection services in England. And all this just a few streets away from where the eight year old Victoria Climbie lived and died. As a result of her death a detailed report described a ?gross failure of the system? and " widespread organisational malaise.? What happened to the 108 recommendations in Lord Laming's Inquiry?

Conservative tax cuts?
With the government due to make an announcement next week. David Cameron has unveiled the Conservatives' proposals for tax cuts to try to ease the economic downturn. He would like to encourage business to take on the unemployed in exchange for a slice of the money saved on benefits. Will this reduce unemployment and boost the economy? Jeremy will be talking to a senior shadow cabinet member.

Oxford Laboratory
Oxford University says the first animals have been moved into a new research laboratory in the city. Construction on the building was halted for more than a year after protests from animal rights groups led to the contractors pulling out. Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh is the only journalist to have been allowed inside to see the new facilities. Does this signify a turning point in the debate between animal rights and medical research? We'll bring together a scientist who does research on animals and a leader of an anti-vivisection group.


Apostrophes?
And a new survey claims that half the population is unable to use the apostrophe correctly - is it time to scrap it?
