MONDAY 18 MAY - 22.30 GMT - BBC TWO PRESENTER - JEREMY PAXMAN From the web team: Unprecedented scenes in the House of Commons today as a succession of MPs openly challenged Speaker Michael Martin to step down after an extraordinary personal statement to Parliament. Political sketch writer Quentin Letts compared the Speaker's rocky ride to the launch of a European space rocket, in which everything looks fine at the start, all cylinders firing, but then starts to go horribly wrong, ending in an explosion. On tonight's programme we will be asking if this is the nadir of modern Parliament, and what can be done to reverse the damage? Plus Blood Sweat and Takeaways - at what cost is cheap food produced? From top class restaurants to low cost supermarkets, we take it for granted that we can buy whatever food we want, whenever we want it. But would we feel the same if we knew the human cost of food production? For a BBC Three documentary six British youngsters went to live and work alongside some of the millions of people working in South East Asia's food production industries. Two of them will be joining us on the programme tonight to discuss what they found. Join Jeremy Paxman then. Missed Newsnight? Click here to watch online Newsnight Blogs Join the debate |
