| MON 16TH FEBRUARY 22:30 GBT - BBC TWO PRESENTED BY GAVIN ESLER On tonight's show we?ll have a special report from our Science Editor Susan Watts: "I'll be looking at whether the Government should be doing more to protect us all from the human form of "mad cow" disease, or vCJD. This time round, it's not infected beef that's worrying people, but blood products and transfusions that turn out to have come from donors who later develop vCJD. Tomorrow, the Government will announce that a haemophiliac who has died, contracted vCJD from the blood products used to treat him. Haemophiliacs have been here before, infected with HIV and Hepatitis viruses from infected blood... 4,000 have already been warned they are at risk of developing vCJD. We've been talking to a company that says it has a reliable test for vCJD and Marc Turner from Scotland's blood service, who thinks we should safeguard the blood supply for all of us by screening donated blood - perhaps as early as next year." Also tonight, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela is allowed to run for office indefinitely. Is that good for Latin American democracy? We'll be hearing from our Ethical Man, reporter Justin Rowlatt, before he sets off for the USA to find out whether green consumerism is catching hold there. And the BBC's World Affairs Editor John Simpson found himself in the right place at the right time in Tehran in 1979. We sent him back to see how things have changed.
