| Wednesday 18 August 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two Presented by Kirsty Wark What price winter fuel allowances, free eye tests, child benefit, free bus passes? After 100 days in power the coalition government is weighing up a few blunt instruments. We may not be able to afford the Welfare Bill, but how would cutting winter fuel payments sit with pre-election pledges by David Cameron? George Osborne says cuts will be "progressive" so can they devise an easy, accurate, and cheap way of reducing the cost of universal benefits? And will Iain Duncan Smith, apparently in a stand off with the Treasury, get his way and make work pay - even if it costs billions of pounds in the short term? We'll be speaking to David Milliband about tackling the deficit and asking him if he agrees with Alistair Darling's analysis that Labour's failure to persuade voters that it could tackle the nation's debt cost it the election. Then we will convene Newsnight's political panel to assess what happens next for the coalition - how can the Liberal Democrats retain their identity and where are some of the big fault lines? Allan Little has returned to Bosnia, where he was during much of the war, to film an altogether different story. A little mountain village is a place of pilgrimage and healing for hundreds of thousands Catholics from all over the world. In 1981 six teenagers said the Virgin Mary appeared to them on what is now called Apparition Hill, and according to three of them she still appears regularly to them. The village of Medjugorje is booming, but for the Croats it is as much a place where they assert their national identity, as it is a religious site and a repository for the ethnic divisions that still haunt Bosnia. Is Eric Scmidt for real? The Google chief has warned that people put so much information out on the internet, that if they want to hold on to their identity, they may have to change it to escape their cyber past. This from the company that owns You Tube. But is he right? As soon as we put personal information online it shoots off into lots of different places and is irretrievable, so before you post your next summer holiday photo on Facebook, should you think twice? Steve Smith has employed a PR firm which specialises in online profiles to smarten up his and create a new identity.... Join me tonight at 10.30pm on BBC Two. Kirsty |
