"The number of children that you have is a choice and what we're saying is that if people are living on benefits, then they make choices but they also have to have responsibility for those choices. It's not going to be the role of the state to finance those choices."

Cabinet Minister Jeremy Hunt speaking on Newsnight last night. Watch a clip of that interview here.

Tonight Matt Prodger is on the Blackbird Leys Estate in Oxford asking families for their views on Mr Hunt's comments, and we'll be debating the issues with a senior minister and member of the opposition.

Ahead of Ed Miliband's announcement on who he is appointing to his shadow cabinet tomorrow morning, David Grossman will be giving us his assessment on who he thinks will get what.

The BBC's Arts editor Will Gompertz will be meeting China's most famous living artist, Ai Weiwei, who is the latest artist to receive the UK's most popular public art commission - filling the Tate Modern's enormous Turbine Hall.

And as England's team take a clutch a medals on day four of the Commonwealth Games despite worries a bout of Delhi belly would completely floor them all, we'll be joined by sportswriter Mihir Bose and author Diane Wei Liang to consider why the Delhi games have been such a shambles compared to Beijing's Olympics in 2008.

Could it be because India is a democracy and China is a dictatorship? And what do poor attendances at the Delhi events tell us about sports culture in India compared to in China? Does all of this tell us anything about the future course of the two countries?

Join Gavin at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
