| Thursday 3 December 2009 - 2230 GMT - BBC Two Presented by Jon Sopel RBS' board has threatened to resign if the government blocks its plan to pay a reported total of £1.5bn in bonuses to investment banking staff. Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman Vince Cable has said the government should "call the bluff" of the RBS directors and accept their resignations. Should it? Tonight, our Economics Editor Paul Mason will be reporting on the predicament now facing the government, and its likely course of action. Jon Sopel has this afternoon been talking to Pakistan Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani about security concerns, the hunt for Osama bin Laden and Prime Minister Gordon Brown's claim that three quarters of terrorist plots originate in the Pakistan-Afghan border regions - we will have that interview tonight. And Science Editor Susan Watts will revisit the Climatic Research Unit stolen e-mails row. It was announced today that an independent review will investigate claims that the e-mails showed scientists were manipulating climate change data. Tonight Susan will be revealing new information about what went on inside the prestigious institute. And we have the last film in our series on make do and mend. As reporter Mary Jane Baxter's trip to test whether the current vogue for make do and mend is more than a fad draws to a close we will be joined in the studio by a high street trend spotter and social commentator to talk frugal fashion. |
