THURSDAY 26TH MARCH 22.30 GMT - BBC TWO
PRESENTED BY EMILY MAITLIS



The film star, the fraudster, the world?s biggest ruby and a bankrupt business

Don?t tell me you are not hooked already by the title. We'll explain all tonight, and I promise it is actually an even better tale than it sounds.

But first: Gordon Brown has taken a moment out from his whirlwind Brazil trip to confirm he does not 'tolerate torture'. Not a comment, as you might think, on the fortunes of a man currently struggling to drum up support for his G20 summit next week, but of a Prime Minister whose security agencies are about to investigated by the police.

Was MI5 complicit in the torture of a Guantanamo bay detainee? Tonight, at the invitation of the attorney general, an investigation into these claims has been launched. The implications, and the questions, are huge. What did MI5 know? What might it have agreed to? And just how far up the chain of command will these investigation stretch? We'll have the latest here.

And just how did a man who attacked 70 women in south London over the course of a decade, escape arrest for four years after he first became a suspect?

And we also look at how President Obama's policies are starting to shape up with the chair of his science and technology council and an analysis of his plans for the military.

Join us at 10.30pm.
