News in Picture

Here's Emily with what is coming up on the programme:

British Airways:

Today will either go down in history as a disaster for democracy or as a triumph for anyone who has to face Heathrow at Christmas, depending on how you view a 12 day airline strike.

BA is now hopping round more gleefully than Rudolph after a high court injunction forbade the Unite union from striking - over a balloting technicality.

The union says it is delighted not to be ruining travellers Christmases - no, they really did - but is considering a legal appeal.

Tonight we look at what's behind this strike - one of the longest attempts at industrial action the airline industry has ever seen - and ask if a power struggle within the union might lie at its heart.

Afghanistan:

Also tonight an incredible eyewitness film from Mark Urban who has been embedded with US marines as they try to push back the Taliban in Helmand province.

Expenses:

What happens if MPs decide not to pay back money that Sir Thomas Legg has declared they owe? We're about to find out.

Eighty Members of Parliament have begun a fight back, and accuse the man who reviewed their claims of behaving dishonestly.

Two hundred MPs were originally ordered to return hundreds of thousands of pounds - so how much legitimacy does he have if nearly half of them refuse?

And will the public chorus of "they just don't get it" continue? Or is the tide starting to turn?

Iran: Karroubi

And the man who lies at the centre of Iranian opposition politics have given us a rare interview - which he knows could land him in serious trouble.

What does he think of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and is he prepared to continue the fight against the current government?

Tonight, extraordinarily candid responses from a man who believes the Iranian revolution is only just beginning.

Do join us for that and more at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
