| Friday 4 December 2009 - 2230 GMT - BBC Two Newsnight and Newsnight Review presented by Martha Kearney Here's Martha Kearney with what is coming up on Newsnight and Newsnight Review: On tonight's show - how much would you pay for a postcard of Jeremy Paxman or Kirsty Wark? That's what Steve Smith is attempting to find out on his pop up stall in Carnaby Street. He's reporting on the whole pop up phenomenon - from shops to restaurants to Nissan cars.* Funnily enough that won't be our lead story though. Instead, as the United Nations decides to conduct its own investigation into e-mails leaked from the University of East Anglia, we'll be hearing from inside the bunker for the first time. A scientist there tells us that his colleagues have been traduced. A sceptical voice from the US responds. What will the dividing lines be for the next general election? Next week the chancellor will lay out his forecasts for the economy and plans for tax and spending in the pre-Budget report. Given the size of the national debt, can he credibly offer an alternative to the Conservatives? Or will every party have to get real about spending cuts? Our Economics Editor Paul Mason will give his thoughts. We'll be continuing the debate on climate change in Review, though in a very different way with my panel Simon Armitage, Johann Hari, Tiffany Jenkins and Jonathan Bate. Exploding volcanoes, tsunamis and a quivering Earth's crust form the centrepiece in the blockbuster cinema release 2012. The forthcoming film The Road also takes place in a post-apocalyptic landscape. Are films like this simply drawing on the visual drama of climate change or do they have a deeper message? Tracey Emin, Anthony Gormley and other artists from around the world take the planet Earth as their theme in a new exhibition at the Royal Academy. We'll look at that and the impact of protest art on its way to Copenhagen. And in recent years there's been a new wave of nature writing. How far does it engage in climate change or offer an escape from worrying about it? We'll be discussing Sara Wheeler's new book The Magnetic North. Do join me at 11pm. (* what kind of poxy stall is it anyway? Steve didn't even bother to sell my postcards). |
