PRESENTER JEREMY PAXMAN



From the web team:

SPEAKER STEPS DOWN
House of Commons Speaker Michael Martin has said that he will resign on 21 June, becoming the first Speaker to be forced out of office in more than 300 years.

Yesterday we saw that Mr Martin had lost the unquestioned authority over the Commons which a Speaker must command when he was openly challenged by MPs over his handling of the parliamentary expenses scandal.

Mr Martin may have reached the end of the road as Speaker, but tonight we will be asking if his ousting is simply the first step on the path to monumental reform of Parliament.

7/7 SURVEILLANCE
We also return to the 7/7 London bombings, with a new report into a catalogue of missed chances by MI5.

The intelligence agency saw bomb plot leader Mohammad Sidique Khan popping up on their screens on dozens of occasions over a four year period leading up to the attacks, but they, along with police, failed to connect up the dots.

I SEE NO SHIPS
Plus reporter Stephen Smith has had exclusive access to new research showing how reckless industrial fishing is destroying famous wreck sites across the UK like the HMS Victory.

Do join Jeremy at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
