| Thursday 9 September 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two Presented by Gavin Esler After a compelling debate in the House of Commons today, MPs backed calls for a fresh parliamentary investigation into allegations of phone hacking by journalists. A number of the News of the World's former employees have claimed that hacking was rife when Downing Street's communications director, Andy Coulson, was editor of the paper. He has repeatedly denied that he was aware of the practice. In the Commons, former Labour minister Chris Bryant led the demands for the investigation, saying he believed media reports about those targeted were "only the tip of the iceberg", and Labour's Tom Watson told MPs he believed parts of the media were out of control. "They are untouchable, they laugh at the law, they sneer at Parliament, they have the power to hurt us and they do with gusto and precision," he said. We'll be speaking live to deputy Lib Dem leader Simon Hughes, whose phone may have been hacked, and we'll be debating the power of the media with Tom Watson and former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie. Also, Peter Marshall will be looking ahead to Pope Benedict XVI's visit next week, and will be asking what kind of man Joseph Ratzinger is. He has had unique access to Britain's only mass for a predominantly gay congregation. And we will be discussing the BBC Two programme Gareth Malone's Extraordinary School for Boys, in which the choirmaster turns teacher to try to re-engage boys who don't like school. Gareth will be joined in the studio by the school's head teacher, Chris Thurgood, and the former London deputy mayor and youth worker, Ray Lewis, to discuss the project. Do join Gavin tonight at 10.30pm on BBC Two. |
