Presented by Jeremy Paxman



Following the lifting of an injunction in the High Court today, we can tonight bring you an exclusive report on how multiple failures in social services failed to prevent a brutal attack last year on two boys by two brothers aged just 10 and 11.

Liz MacKean has seen a report from Doncaster's Children's Safety Board, which represents the agencies involved, details of which are to be published this week.

The report, which was ordered after the attack on an 11-year-old and nine-year-old boy, is the latest serious case review centred around Doncaster, where seven children have died since 2004, despite being on the at risk register.

It spells out how the assault was not only predictable, it was entirely preventable.

And it identifies multiple failings by nine different agencies and says 31 chances to intervene were missed over 14 years.

Also tonight - Matt Frei will bring us the latest on the rescue efforts in Haiti and we will be hearing from our correspondents in Indonesia, Pakistan and Italy about how those regions, which also suffered natural disasters in recent years, have recovered and what lessons for Haiti can be drawn from the experiences there.

Do join Jeremy on BBC Two at 10.30pm.
