Today is St Andrew's Day and Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond unveiled his vision for an independent Scotland, publishing a white paper on Scotland's constitutional future.

"The debate in Scottish politics is no longer between change or no change - it's about the kind of change we seek and the right of the people to choose their future in a free and fair referendum," Mr Salmond said at its launch in Edinburgh.

Our Political Editor Michael Crick is also in Edinburgh and will be reporting on what the future governance of Scotland might look like.

We will also be looking at Iran's announcement that it plans to build 10 new uranium enrichment sites in defiance of international demands.

The head of Iran's nuclear programme, Ali Akbar Salehi, has accused the West of provoking Tehran into launching the plan. But the French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner has accused Iran of "playing an extremely dangerous game".

Tonight, the BBC's Tehran correspondent Jon Leyne will be assessing the thinking behind Iran's statement and whether it could trigger a shift from diplomacy to direct military confrontation.

Plus, Susan Watts reports on how insurance companies are starting to invest billions in mitigating climate change by investing in green technologies.

Join Jeremy Paxman for all that at 10.30pm.

PANORAMA - CAN TESCO SAVE THE WORLD? - TONIGHT, 30 NOVEMBER 8.30PM ON BBC ONE

Hello,

CAN TESCO SAVE THE WORLD?

As the eyes of the world fall on Copenhagen where world leaders gather next week to thrash out a climate change deal, Panorama looks at how business is already going green and making money from it.

From villagers in Scotland earning thousands from their community wind turbine, to corporate giant Tesco that is greening up its act, reporter Tom Heap looks at the business case for bold action on climate change.

At his family home in Scotland, Tom experiments with a wind turbine to see if he can make money from it. You can watch the result on the Panorama website where you will also find a guide to the five reasons business is going green.

For one Dragons' Den entrepreneur the case has already been made, as Tom discovered when he caught up with him to find out what happened next to his green idea?

Panorama: Can Tesco Save the World? is on BBC One tonight at 8.30pm.

You can read more about the programme on the Panorama website.

LETHAL ENTERPRISE

In last week's programme Panorama investigated a little known law that could get people in serious trouble even if they're not the ones causing it.

Joint enterprise is a catch-all policy being used by the police to tackle gang crime in particular. It means anyone caught up in a serious incident could face a jail sentence even if they weren't the one wielding the weapon, but is it leading to miscarriages of justice?

You can watch Panorama: Lethal Enterprise on the Panorama website.

That's all from us for now. Remember, you can keep up to date with Panorama on our website where you can watch Panorama programmes from the last 12 months.

Friday 27 Nov - Newsnight and Newsnight Review
Presented by Gavin Esler and Kirsty Wark



COMING UP ON NEWSNIGHT WITH GAVIN ESLER:

Richard Watson has uncovered significant new information on this week's Muslim schools funding row, which he will be revealing tonight.

We will also be looking at the Dubai debt problems, which have sparked instability in global stock markets.

Tonight, Paul Mason will be asking if this is a natural aftershock from the global credit crunch, which has the power to shake markets, but not send them crashing down, or if what we are seeing is a much more serious second stage to the crisis.

Also, we have a very powerful film by Steve Rosenberg ahead of the Demjanjuk trial on Monday.

John Demjanjuk is due to stand trial in Germany accused of helping to murder more than 27,000 Jews at the Nazi death camp of Sobibor in eastern Poland.

Steve Rosenburg has been talking to a man who survived the camp's horrors.

AND HERE IS KIRSTY WARK WITH WHAT IS COMING UP ON NEWSNIGHT REVIEW:

And then on Review David Aaronovitch, Bonnie Greer, Michael Gove and Haleh Afshar go rogue!

We'll be discussing what Sarah Palin's runaway success memoir/manifesto Going Rogue says about heartland America, the American media, and whether this is a new kind of launchpad for the White House.

The Coen Brothers have turned the spotlight on their upbringing in A Serious Man, set in 1967 in a brand new Midwestern suburb, where Judaism comes first and foremost in the Kopnik family.

The hapless patriarch Larry, finds his life unravelling in a darkly humorous way - his children disrespect him, and his lovely son is in a pot haze, his health is troublesome, students blackmail him, his wife wants to divorce him and he looks to three cryptic rabbis for answers.

And then the unique cartoon journalist Joe Sacco is pulled back to Gaza for his new oral history dramatisation of two almost forgotten events in the Palestinian - Israeli conflict. Does Footnotes in Gaza serve history well?

I hope you will join us, Kirsty
