MONDAY 2ND DECEMBER
FROM PROGRAMME PRODUCER SIMON ENRIGHT

Hello,

Green
It is not exactly a ringing endorsement of the current police inquiry - the acting boss of the Metropolitan Police has called in another force to investigate the officers who arrested Conservative MP Damian Green. And what of the role of the Speaker Michael Martin? We'll be debating all this with the former Conservative leader Michael Howard.


Guantanamo
Guantanamo Bay and its judicial system has been a stain on the US Military and the US constitution - that's the view not of left wing lawyers and peace activists, but a military officer who until a few months ago was prosecuting the suspected terrorists held there. Tonight on Newsnight we have an exclusive interview with Lt Col Darrel Vandeveld. He has spoken for the first time since quitting the military after he witnessed first hand mistreatment of inmates and crucial evidence being withheld from defence lawyers. You can see some of what he has to say on reporter Gordon Corera's article.


India
There have been reports today that the US gave India advance warning about last week's terror attacks. India has been pointing the finger at Pakistan - but is that simply a default position? Jeremy has been speaking to the Indian High Commissioner.

Tumbling pound
Another day - another drop in the value of the pound. Paul Mason looks at how much worse things could get. And we speak to the French Finance minister about whether it's high time the UK joined the Euro.
