| Thursday 29 October 2230 BST - BBC Two Presented by Jeremy Paxman European Union leaders are in Brussels for a two-day summit aimed at settling a number of thorny issues, including the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty and how to finance the fight against climate change. Tonight, Mark Urban, who is also in Brussels, will have the latest on what is being achieved and on another issue hitting the headlines - Tony Blair's chances of becoming the first president of the European Council. Leaders are to discuss the matter informally over dinner tonight - will they find it the perfect digestif or somewhat unpalatable? And Jeremy Paxman will be talking to senior European politicians about what kind of European presidency they would like to see and their visions for the future of the EU. Plus, with just six weeks to go before the crucial UN climate conference in Copenhagen, Susan Watts has been in the city for a series of cross-party talks which are helping to shape the agenda. She has spoken to key players including the Danish prime minister and Wang Guangtao, the architect of China's climate change legislation. Also, Richard Watson reports on the BBC's plan to cut the amount it spends on the salaries of some 640 senior managers by a quarter over the next three-and-a-half years. And Jeremy will be speaking to BBC Trust chairman Sir Michael Lyons and Shadow Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt. |
