Growth in the UK is better than expected - at 0.8% between July and September - with construction continuing to be the fastest growing sector.

So is there reason to be cheerful? Or is worse to come once the cuts actually start biting? And is the private sector well positioned to pick up the impact of public sector cuts?

David Grossman investigates.

Last week the Cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith suggested unemployed people had become too "static" and should get on a bus to find work. Tonight Matt Prodger returns to the South Wales Valley to ask if those on the dole are willing to climb on the bus to Cardiff to get a job.

Meanwhile the UN Convention on Biological Diversity is under way in Japan. But how worried should we be about fish stocks? And are the predictions of scientists accurate enough to dictate policy?

Charles Clover, author of The End of the Line: How Over-fishing is Changing the World and What We Eat will debate the issues with Barrie Deas, chief executive of the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations.

Plus Newsnight's Science editor Susan Watts considers what the spectacular natural phenomenon of the biggest salmon run in a century in British Columbia can teach scientists about global fish stocks.
