The Czech constitutional court has ruled that the Lisbon Treaty is in line with the constitution, clearing the way for President Vaclav Klaus to sign it. The Czech Republic is the only EU member yet to ratify the treaty, and the decision removes the penultimate hurdle to its passage. It's a move that has put pressure on David Cameron's Conservatives.

In 2007, Mr Cameron made a "cast iron" guarantee to hold a referendum on any treaty that emerged from EU talks. Now that position seems to be shifting with the Tory Leader expected to clarify their policy tomorrow. Tonight David Grossman looks at whether Cameron can hold the Tories together on Europe.

On the day that former British soldier Simon Mann - who was sentenced to 34 years for a coup plot in Equatorial Guinea - is pardoned and returned to the UK, Richard Watson has the exclusive, inside story of the coup. He has documents including the contract for the coup which shows that if it had been successful Mr Mann would have been in line for a $15m payout. Take a look at the documents here.

We have an exclusive interview with Al Gore - the former US Vice President, and author of the best-selling book and Academy Award winning movie about the threat of global warming, An Inconvenient Truth.

And Matt Frei returns to the town of Culpeper, in 'swing state' Virginia, a year on from the US Presidential election. Has anything changed since President Obama was elected?

Join Jeremy at 10.30pm on BBC Two.






 LAST NIGHT'S HIGHLIGHT

In October, milliner Mary Jane Baxter set off on a journey to discover whether the recession has triggered a return to make-do-and-mend or if it is simply a passing fad.

Newsnight received more than 200 e-mails from viewers with suggestions of where Mary Jane might go and offers of help in exchange for making and mending lessons. As she makes her way north from London, she meets some of those people and attends a wartime re-enactment event in North Yorkshire.
