Talk about Newsnight

Latest programme

Prospects for Thursday, 28 February

  • Newsnight
  • 28 Feb 08, 10:25 AM

Today's programme producer is Robert Morgan - here is his early email to the production team.

Good morning everyone,

The programme is wide open today. Do come to the meeting prepared to debate what should be the lead and why. Stories around include GPs, plus the Shadow Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley seems to have made a fresh spending commitment. There's also bags and Jersey.

We have an Alistair Leithead film produced by Rebecca on US and UK counter-insurgency work in Afghanistan. Is it making any progress?

I've got an option on interviewing former head of the Bin Laden unit at the CIA, Michael Scheuer. He's got a new book out on foreign policy and terror. I'll explain more in the meeting. It could work off the back of the film.

Robert

Dear Mr Morgan

boost all public sector workers pay by 58% and cut their hours to kickstart the economy,

or when we are really afraid of workers, (really afraid) will we concede their demands but if there is deep seated fear and exquisite manipulation going on, NEVER be able to admit -even to ourselves what is really going on in a situation?

best wishes
Bob

I posted similar content yesterday, but your website is so up the spout it was not displayed. Please get the techies to fix it and please let us know that you're getting the techies to fix it so that we can all stop sending you messages that begin with 502.

Anyway, my message:

The KR trials are still happening and Newsnight hasn't reported on them. There are several interesting themes arising from this: trial vs. truth & reconciliation, why is international justice such a lottery, will anyone ever face sentence before they die....

It is 3 months since Annapolis. Kids are being killed this week by the IDF. Hamas have offered a cease fire, the Israelis haven't rejected it, because they pretend not to know what Hamas is saying (we don't talk to terrorists, as the old story goes). The US won't talk to Hamas, the EU won't (and we saw via the Kosovo debacle that the EU is an instrument of the US anyway). So what hope of progress? The UN claim that no progress has been made between Fatah & the Israeli government either. What exactly is the Israeli strategy?

I know the ±«Óãtv is too scared to talk about Israel, but the silence is deafening.

My comments on binge drinking I am 55 years of age and when I was in my 20s,and if the landlord thought you have had I not to drink, he would ask you to leave the premises, he would not allow you to get sloshed like they Do today. What I cannot understand is why the police and councils have been allowed for this sort of behaviour to happen in the first place, as the laws have been there from when I was young.
