	Wednesday 12 August 2009 - 22.30 BST - BBC TWO Presented by Kirsty Wark The Bank of England has warned that the UK economy still has some way to go before it recovers from the effects of the financial crisis. The Bank's governor Mervyn King today hinted that further fiscal stimulus - in addition to the policy of quantitative easing - may have to be implemented. Tonight our Economics Editor Paul Mason will give us his take on QE (is it working and what can the bank do next if it's not?), and we'll be joined by Professor David Blanchflower, formerly of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, to debate. As unemployment figures reach their highest level since 1995, Graham Satchell has been to Newark in Nottinghamshire to find out how the recession is affecting people there. And what do you make of Alan Duncan's comments that MPs are forced to live on "rations"? He has apologised, but should we have any sympathy with him that MPs are treated "like shit"? We'll debate. Plus we have a film from Ethiopia about how the life of one man - which has been chronicled for 25 years by a British documentary maker - is emblematic of Ethiopia's recent history. Read more about that story here. Do join Kirsty at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
