| Tuesday 26 January 2010 - 2230 GMT - BBC Two Presented by Jeremy Paxman The UK economy has emerged from recession after the longest period of contraction since World War II. However, the recovery is weaker than expected, just 0.1% of growth in the last three months of 2009. Paul Mason has been taking the economic temperature in Yorkshire. Among the people he has been talking to is a man who used to make Pic 'n' Mix sweets for Woolies - one of the most high profile casualties of the economic downturn. Tonight, we find out how he is faring now. Jeremy will be asking the Chancellor, Alistair Darling, why Britain was the last major economy to come out of recession. And we'll try to forecast the shape of the recovery with business and finance experts. David Grossman will be reporting on the Chilcot Inquiry where arguments about the legality of the Iraq war have been taking centre stage ahead of Attorney General Lord Goldsmith appearance tomorrow. Among those giving evidence today was Elizabeth Wilmshurst, a Foreign Office lawyer who resigned because she thought the invasion was illegal. She said that the manner in which ministers considered the legal arguments for and against war was "lamentable". And we'll bring you the latest from Hillsborough Castle where a second day of crisis talks aimed at averting the collapse of devolved government in Northern Ireland have been taking place. Join Jeremy at 10.30pm on BBC Two. |
