Things you never knew about a Miliband brother #4672...

Ed Miliband could do a Rubik's Cube in one minute 20 seconds with just one hand when he was small. I can say that safe in the knowledge that voting for the Labour leadership is now closed and I will thus not be in danger of swaying votes amongst Rubik's devotees.

Tomorrow: David Miliband, Connect4 genius. We'll keep you posted.

Tonight, Michael Crick will be looking at the upbringing the Miliband brothers had - the legacy their father - radical Marxist Ralph Miliband - left upon them. And how their mother, Marion, another left-wing socialist, may actually have been the greater influence. To mangle a quote, to see one son enter mainstream politics could be considered a misfortune. To see two could seem like carelessness. Read more from Michael here.

Also this evening we'll be asking if councils could chose to outsource all their services - slashing their budgets and sacking thousands to meet the cuts required. Suffolk County Council will be the first to try it out, a council near you may quickly follow.

Mark Urban will have the latest from the UN as Obama and Ahmedinejad take to the stage.

And Tim Whewell will be looking at allegations of torture against a British citizen by the Bahraini government - his wife tells Newsnight that the Foreign Office could have done more to get him out.

Do join me at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
