PRESENTER JEREMY PAXMAN

Hello,

LABOUR DIFFICULTIES
After a weekend of speculation in newspapers about Gordon Brown's leadership, the prime minister has tried to switch the spotlight from personality to policy by announcing plans to give parents in England the power to force councils to improve schools.

But with questions being asked both inside and outside cabinet will it be enough to end the speculation?

Tonight, David Grossman will assess Mr Brown's chances of success and what the Labour party's Plan B is if he fails.

OUT OF HOURS CARE
Tonight on Newsnight Richard Watson has exclusive information on the issue of foreign doctors providing out of hours NHS care: a subject we first reported on in January last year.

EXCLUSION
The government has named and shamed 22 individuals who have been banned from entering the UK for "fostering extremism or hatred". Where does this leave freedom of speech? We hope to talk to one of those on the banned list.

THE DEATH OF BOOKS?
Plus, manufacturers of e-readers are all vying to be the ones to do for books what MP3 players did for music.

We speak to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos about Kindle 2, the company's new revamped electronic book.

Can an electronic device really prompt the biggest transformation in reading since the Gutenberg Bible heralded the age of the printed book?

And how will Kindle 2 be affected by its UK launch being delayed while a deal is struck with mobile phone companies, allowing the Sony Reader to steal a march?
