	THURSDAY 30 APRIL - 22.30 GMT - BBC TWO PRESENTER KIRSTY WARK Hello, PANIC STATIONS? Tonight, in the wake of the World Health Organization's decision to raise the alert over swine flu to level five - indicating human-to-human transmission in at least two countries - our Science editor Susan Watts will report on just how prepared the UK is to combat a potential full blown pandemic. KING OF THE ROAD Our culture correspondent Stephen Smith joins BB King on his tour bus, as the Blues legend talks about his music, love of women and why he is still touring at the age of 83. GOOBYE TO ALL THAT With today's handover of power in Basra - Mark Urban gives his personal take of what we have achieved in Iraq as our mission there draws to a close. ARE MPS' EXPENSES JUST PEANUTS? And, Gordon Brown faces another Commons battle today as he tries to get MPs to agree to his reforms of their expenses. We'll be looking into how much this week has damaged the Prime Minister's authority. David Grossman will be reporting on that, and if you go to our website now you can see his latest Village People report in which he asks if MPs' expense allowances are really just peanuts compared to other government budgets with the help of The Peanut Scale of Government Spending.
