Newsnight
Thursday 29 July
10:30pm – 11:20pm
BBC2 South

It’s a packed programme tonight which will include reaction to the BBC2 documentary ‘Five days that changed Britain’ (9pm BBC Two) about how the coalition was formed. We’ll be speaking to some of the key figures that determined events in those tumultuous days, including the Labour leadership contender, Ed Miliband.

Tomorrow the government is promising radical proposals on welfare reform – we’ll explain what they are likely to be.

We have an exclusive interview with Senator Menendez, who had planned to hold hearings today into the release of the convicted Lockerbie bomber. He’s postponed the hearings due to lack of cooperation from BP, the Scottish and UK governments, but has vowed to launch a new investigation. We’ll have reaction from the First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond.

And we’ll be joined by the former US Marine Karl Marlantes – whose best-selling book Matterhorn is being hailed as the definitive Vietnam novel of our times.
