Presented by Kirsty Wark

Tonight we can promise excitement aplenty.

Is Wikileaks a lot bigger and more powerful than Julian Assange? Amidst extraordinary scenes he was finally arrested and remanded in custody today in connection with allegations of rape and sexual molestation in Sweden - allegations he denies. There will be a full extradition hearing on December 14th. High profile supporters - Jemima Khan, John Pilger, Ken Loach - were in court today offering to stand bail. The argument was made in court that Mr Assange might fall prey to unstable characters. Richard Watson is investigating as I write.

And there'll be more Wikileaks revelations tonight including information on the release of the Lockerbie bomber. Will they reignite the controversy about the release of Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi and the issue of business links with Libya?

Are the Liberal Democrats in big trouble ahead of Thursday's vote on tuition fees? Following a BBC ring-round of MPs it is clear that some will defy the leadership's exhortation to support the government. Lib Dem MPs are meeting tonight at Westminster and we will have the latest. Are we about to witness the first big crack in the Coalition?

And we have a fascinating film from Yemen, following a Muslim televangelist's quest to de-radicalise a country in the grip of al-Qaeda - read more about that here.

I hope you'll be watching, Kirsty

The first, the new Quarterly Essay by George Megalogenis of The Australian, the second, by former NSW Labor treasurer Michael Costa. What is fascinating is not the extent of contrast between the two accounts, one leaning left and the other firmly pursuing a right-wing agenda. Rather, it is the shared set of assumptions that animates both. Protect the public from the truth Perusing classified documents may lead the public to wonder: why do the governments of democracies lie about what they think?

Climate change?

Too late for nuclear Once again the call has arisen for Australians to debate the adoption of nuclear power as part of our energy mix, but is it too late? Time we dismissed Kentucky Fried Chicken Just as with Benson & Hedges, I'd like to see KFC banned from sponsoring cricket on health grounds. Modern media: it's all just a little bit fancy Carrie Bickmore's 'Aussie Countdown' special, aired in the US last week to Oprah Winfrey's audience, was a pastiche of prostituted enthusiasm and corporate endorsements, most notably for McDonalds. While this shouldn't come as a shock, it does feed into a busy little corner of the current zeitgeist now debating the interplay between mainstream media and the new voices of the independent online.

Words I Shall Not Be Using On Air Tonight #4164:

Cuts/cut/hunt/culture/can't/Kent countryside.

Right. That's better. Where was I?

There's a joke doing the rounds on Twitter these days. A man calls up Lib Dem HQ and asks if he can buy a copy of the party's manifesto. "I'm so sorry," says the receptionist, "we've sold out". "I know that," says the man, "I just want a copy of the manifesto".

It's probably not that funny if you're one of the tortured souls trying to decide which way to vote on an issue that is being seen as the biggest test for the coalition so far. Two former Lib Dem leaders - Charles Kennedy and Ming Campbell - have made clear they will vote against it. Another - Paddy Ashdown - has praised Nick Clegg's "bravery" for making a decision he says will pay dividends. Is it better to stick to your principle and your word - or change your mind for a policy you now say is the right one? We'll be putting that to a senior Lib Dem this evening, and amassing our Newsnight political panel.

But first tonight, Julian Assange - he of Wikileaks - has been issued with a warrant for his arrest. The charges, specific to Swedish law, relate to sexual behaviour not state secrets. But what to make of the timing? Particularly when many think the revelations have just stepped up a notch with the disclosure of facilities around the world vital to US national security. There are even rumours tonight that everything Wikileaks has could now be released. We'll be asking what now for the founder and the website

And Tim Whewell will have the latest on the alleged Russian Spy of Westminster.

Join me for that and more on BBC Two at 10.30pm.

This one's for the Liberals Calm yourselves, because I will say this only once: today's piece is pro-Liberal. Consider it an early Christmas present. OK, so it's only pro one Liberal in particular, but the sentiment stands. The man in question is named Bruce Atkinson, and he's a Victorian politician set to become president of the Upper House. He has also, in the past, confessed to being a chap partial to hobbies and opinions of a vaguely sexual nature. And so this is Christmas All in all it's hard to be much impressed by what we've done in 2010, and by what we haven't. Perhaps 2011 will be better. A win-win for Mr 3,000 Simply Red's Mick Hucknall has confessed to sex with over 3,000 women. I suspect he's marketing himself as a stud. WikiLeaks a blueprint for things to come With every day, with every passing hour, the power of the state mobilises against WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, its titular leader. Over the last week we've been able to watch the systematic dismantling of WikiLeaks. First came the condemnation, then came the technical attacks, each one designed to amputate one part of the body of the organisation. But in a phenomenon reminiscent of the Napster saga, the failures of WikiLeaks provide the blueprint for the systems which will follow it. Not quite so super It's now possible for Australia's largest superannuation fund to invest in firms involved in the production and trade of cluster munitions.

You candle won't die out

2010-12-04T09:13:00.000-08:00

At our online pharmacy you will find not only discount prices, but really effective drugs!

Dear funnyblog2.jokesandfun,

Even if your sex life is already rich and fulfilling... Imagine you had a little more energy... if your erections stayed harder... or you could go just a little longer...
Or maybe you worry, when you climb under the covers, that you're starting something you can't finish?
Well, now advancements in natural medicine are making it easier than ever to promote a strong libido, firm, natural erections and enhanced desire.

Now thanks to this exciting natural breakthrough, you could get an erection "on demand" and when you do, sustain it long enough – and keep firm enough — to fully satisfy your wife in bed. Even if you're in your 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s or older!

As a doctor, I've learned something over the years that may surprise you — age has very little to do with sex. There are men out there having the best sex of their lives well into their 80th year and beyond.

And those men have three key things in common that their sex starved friends don't:
Hard, recurring erections...
Heightened desire and stamina...
And a reproductive system that could be functioning at the top of its game...

Lucky? You bet.

But you too could give your body the nutrients it needs to support your entire sexual health.

If you think nights are gloomy and boring, it's time to find the secret of your bedroom!
*****

Presented by Gavin Esler

Internet shopping is the stress free way to shop and now accounts for one third of high street sales. But do we ever think about what happens once the order is despatched, or how the thousands of workers who bring the goods to our door are treated?

Tonight, we have a report on the workers handling deliveries for some of Britain's biggest retailers who have no employment rights and earn as little as 50p per package.

We will bring you up to date on the latest Wikileaks revelations.

And we have an interview with Richard Thaler - the academic behind "Nudge", the theory which has been embraced by the Tories and is said to lie behind much of the thinking about how government should influence human behaviour.

Do join us at 10.30pm on BBC Two.

Evidence destroyed: the luckiest oil spill When the West Atlas rig haemorrhaged oil for 74 days last year, no-one was killed and according to the Government and the oil company the environmental damage has been minimal. "The fact is we were lucky with Montara" said Resources Minister Ferguson when he tabled the Montara Commission of Inquiry last week. But leafing through the report there is a strange feeling they were in a parallel universe to that inhabited by the inquiry's commissioner. Editor's letter makes for a bizarre Posettigate twist The offer made by The Oz's editor-in-chief to Julie Posetti via a lawyer's letter is, to my mind, quite simply bizarre. We all have faith - why not embrace it? Faith is needed for all of us to make sense of life, to know what it means to be human, especially in relationship with others. A wing and a prayer in the Murray-Darling Basin If irrigation allocations are cut in the Murray-Darling Basin we are turning our backs on world food production. Go FIFA yourself Qatar.

The demise of Australia's bid for the right to "organise" the 2022 FIFA World Cup is a deep humiliation and these things are best left quickly behind us. One vote. One vote from a possible 22. And we even sent Mark Arbib. Could it be that FIFA sensed that our national heart wasn't really in this?

The real climate change challenge Our current political thinking on emissions reduction is laughable; it is high time we faced up to reality and stopped playing political games. Quite apart from the risks to which we are exposed, Australia is rapidly falling behind other countries in the race to develop a low-carbon economy.Â It is no longer a question of losing competitiveness because we are taking action, but rather because we are not. Well-readhead: the year's best Like an ageing rocker with no new hits and a great back catalogue, releasing a "best of" compilation is just too easy an opportunity to pass up. The ends of information We've all been busy connecting to one another, without much thought of what it feels like to live in such a hyperconnected world. Psst... secrets aren't that important Secret information is not necessarily a better guide to events than what we already know from open sources. Culture cringe and fever pitch Australia has plenty working against us when it comes to buying in international events like the FIFA World Cup. To counter our shortcomings, we exploit that knock-about, larrikin spirit we're known for - with just a dash of naivety for good measure - and shunning slick and corporate, we offer natural splendour and wildlife. This, after all, is our default position.

The march of political time It's odd to hear politicians and commentators talk now of the natural inevitability of a 10-year cycle for governments. True, there is a pattern of sorts since the 1980s where governments struggle to survive into a second decade. But the vast bulk of Australia's political life since Federation is characterised by governments of remarkable longevity. Perhaps it's just that times have changed.

End child detention now Evidence showing the harm caused is growing, yet over 700 children are still being held in Australian 'immigration facilities'.

It's a dull credit to the diplomatic tradition that its practitioners are already staging bilateral press conferences declaring that the disclosures will not threaten "strong friendships", and so on. When all else fails, pretend it didn't happen.

Assange is a victim of a honey trap, but I suspect some info in Wiki leaks might seem like a honey trap... Wikileaks says Canadians are complacent when it comes to terrorism. Wow really? Do tell me.

He stuck his middle finger up to the powers that be, they'll find a way to get him. If it isn't this it will be something else. They need to set an example to others who want to shed light on the secret nastiness world governments engage in daily.

well its very good work by julian assaange. And public has right to know everything....as it could help in mantaining peace in world . but dark side is " It can be cause of world war-3 in nearby future.

Presented by Emily Maitlis

Tonight we'll have brand new revelations from the whistle-blowing site Wikileaks. We can't say what they are yet, but, rest assured, they are fascinating. Our Diplomatic editor Mark Urban will assess their impact.

Michael Crick will consider what pressure Nick Clegg is under as many in his party wrestle with what to do about tuition fees. Could this be the Lib Dem's poll tax?

And Paul Mason will meet some of the students who are occupying university buildings across the country, protesting against those increasing tuition fees and university budget cuts.

In the studio we'll debate what impact sit-ins and protests could have on a new generation of young people, with some relics from the sixties and some current students.

Do join us at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
