Presented by Jeremy Paxman
Tonight, we will have the latest on the situation, and our correspondent Tim Whewell has visited one of the working class areas of Cairo to gauge feeling amongst some of the city's poorest residents - do they support the protests? Will they accept the sop of Mubarak's reshuffle? Or will they only be satisfied if the president himself goes? In the studio Mark Urban will be reporting on the diplomatic tightrope walk Western governments, in particular the US, are engaged in and we will be discussing what is likely to happen next. Also Michael Crick reports on a deal struck in Westminster to end the impasse which has been blocking progress of a bill to allow a referendum on the voting system and fewer parliamentary constituencies. Plus, we look into the activities of UK Uncut, joining the protest group as they target businesses and stores who they claim are avoiding paying taxes, and speaking to supporters and critics. Jeremy's back in the presenter's chair - join him at 2230 on BBC Two. You can get more news and chat about the programme on Twitter (don't forget to use the hashtag #newsnight) and on Facebook. |
