An investigation carried out by BP has blamed a "sequence of failures involving a number of different parties" for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The oil giant has acknowledged that it was partly to blame, but concluded other companies working on the well also bore some responsibility.

We will be asking what these failures mean for the future of the oil industry.

Scotland's First Minister, Alex Salmond, will be speaking to us about his final programme of legislation before the Holyrood elections in May - a programme that doesn't include a referendum on independence.

We also have a film from Science editor Susan Watts on the search for the elusive "theory of everything". She will be asking how far scientists have got in the quest for the ultimate answer, and speaks to Professor Stephen Hawking as well as Eels frontman Mark Everett, who talks about the contribution of his physicist father, Hugh Everett III.

Listen to Stephen Hawking's personal invite to Newsnight viewers.

And, after a small US church said it would defy international condemnation and go ahead with plans to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11, we will be asking how far should people be allowed to go in the name of freedom of speech?

Do join Jeremy at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
