Quote for the Day:

"Yes."

Foreign Secretary David Miliband when asked if an inquiry into the Iraq war would be set up as soon as is practical after British troops leave in July.

In tonight's programme we'll analyse what an inquiry might achieve and - after the Hutton and Butler inquiries -how credible it will be? Will we find out definitively why we went to war? Was the war legal? What happened to Saddam's supposed WMD? And why was the occupation of Iraq such a catastrophe?

Also in the programme, the latest in Paul Mason's series of reports from Eastern Europe, and whether the US and the EU really are split over what to do next on the economy.You can watch the first two films here and read more on Paul's blog here

And finally, Newsnight viewer Daniela Stuhlmann says she is still reeling from the sight of Tony Parsons' socks on Newsnight Review, and - no doubt in retaliation - has sent in the worst Joke of 2009 (so far - other entries welcome).


She writes:

There was a dog called Minton, who ate a shuttlecock....so his owner said "Bad Minton...."


Oh, dear. I'll have a word with Tony about his socks...
