From the web team:

PROPORTIONAL RESPONSE?
As the main parties try to shift focus away from the expenses revelations, David Cameron has pledged to change politics with "a massive, sweeping, radical redistribution of power".

Among the measures he said a Conservative government would "seriously consider" are fixed-term parliaments and fewer MPs.

Labour Cabinet ministers are also pushing for reform - PR is apparently back in vogue - but how many of these proposals are sincere, and how many opportunistic?

We have also done some interesting digging on the expenses story itself - watch tonight to find out more.

Grassroots anger among constituency parties has been an important dynamic in this story - we'll have a report tonight from the heart of "middle" England.

COLLEGE CONFLICT
Plus, after the resignation of Ruth Padel, the first woman to become the Oxford Professor of Poetry, we will throw a light on infighting and power struggles in academia.

LOST CHILDREN
And we have a powerful film from East Timor on the plight of thousands of children who were taken from East Timor during Indonesia's 25-year occupation. As Lucy Williamson reports, even for those who do find their families, returning home is anything but easy.

Join Jeremy at 10.30pm on BBC Two for all that and more.
