| NEXT PANORAMA - "A VERY DANGEROUS DOCTOR" - MONDAY 8.30PM ON BBC ONE
Hello there,
Not a day goes by without new revelations about MPs' expenses. Our reporter Shelley Jofre has now stood down from her fictional role as MP, but not before revealing all the ways in which our parliamentarians can access funds without breaking the rules.
In Is your MP working for you?, Shelley investigated the numerous ways MPs can make money through the system begging the question, could expenses just be the tip of the iceberg?
If you missed the programme you can watch it on the BBC iPlayer.
For more on Shelley's life as a Panorama MP go to the Panorama website.
A full list of MPs' expenses claims, along with their responses and the latest on what they will be repaying, can be found at BBC News Online.
PAKISTAN BOMBING
Another story never far from the headlines is the escalating tensions in Pakistan between the army and the Taliban.
The country has tightened security with the capital Islamabad on red alert following a series of attacks across the country.
More than 200 people were injured and at least 24 killed in Wednesday's bomb attacks which targeted buildings belonging to the police and security services in Lahore.
Peshawar was also hit when two bombs exploded in a market killing 70 people. Shortly afterwards, a suicide bomber killed four soldiers at a military checkpoint on the outskirts of the city.
The Pakistani Taliban have warned of more attacks in response to army operations in the Swat valley.
Panorama has been following developments in the country and at the end of last year sent reporter Jane Corbin to the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan to investigate the threat of civil war.
If you missed Britain's Terror Heartland you can watch it on the Panorama website where you can also find more information about the programme.

BACK IN THE NEWS
The government's decision to back a new generation of coal-fired power stations came with the condition that they would limit CO2 emissions in line with the UK's commitment to cut emissions by 80% by 2050.
This week saw the first attempt to test carbon capture technology on a working coal-fired power plant in the UK at Longannet power station in Fife.
In Comeback Coal, Panorama visited a German plant which was testing the carbon capture technology. The programme investigated the UK's commitment to greenhouse gas reduction alongside a change in policy which has seen a resurgence in opencast mining.
You can watch Comeback Coal on the Panorama website.

"A VERY DANGEROUS DOCTOR"
That's what Dr David Southall's been branded. Last week he failed in his appeal to have the decision to strike him off the medical register overturned.
He is best known for accusing a man of mudering his children after watching a TV documentary, but has himself been the victim of false accusations.
In Monday's programme, Panorama's Vivian White challenges Dr Southall to answer his critics and looks into evidence that might support his claims of victimisation.
"A Very Dangerous Doctor" is on BBC One, Monday 1 June at 8.30pm.
That's all from us for this week but you can keep up to date with Panorama on our website.
