| Monday 1 November 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two Presented by Gavin Esler & Emily Maitlis "It's always a joy to see Michael Crick" the prime minister somewhat unconvincingly told the Commons today as he expressed regret about describing a BBC licence fee freeze as "delicious" when "he spoke to our political editor on Friday's programme. For unbounded joy then the PM should tune in tonight when Michael will have the latest on the political row surrounding the use of control orders. The government had been expected to scrap the orders which are part of counter-terrorism legislation introduced in 2005 and restrict the freedoms of terrorist suspects. Now there are indications that they might be maintained causing a major rift within the coalition government. The former Liberal Democrat leader Ming Campbell will debate with Tory MP Patrick Mercer. Home Secretary Theresa May has made a statement to the House on the discovery of a US-bound bomb at East Midlands airport last week. The package, sent from Yemen, contained the explosive device PETN - an odourless, colourless powder - pushed into printer toner cartridges. Initial tests did not pick up the explosive; it was only in the second search that the bomb was found. Theresa May announced that air freight from Yemen and Somalia is now to be suspended and that carrying large printer toner cartridges will be prohibited. Tonight our Diplomatic editor Mark Urban will consider if there are security loopholes in the international freight business and consider if proposed measures to increase security would be possible to enforce. Then we have a film from Peter Marshall who is in Florida to assess the impact of the Tea Party movement there ahead of tomorrow's mid-term elections. And we'll debate how divisive the campaign has been and how divided the US now is. Gavin is in London and Emily is in Washington this evening - join them at 10.30pm on BBC Two. |
