The Lib Dems have kicked off their spring conference by launching their campaign slogan: "Change that works for you, building a fairer Britain", and the party's leader Nick Clegg promising there will be "no backroom deals" with other parties.

But with talk of a hung parliament in the air it is inevitable that everyone is asking which way the party would jump and calling Clegg the kingmaker.

Michael Crick is at the conference in Birmingham and he has been spending the day finding out what the mood is on the ground. Gavin will be talking live to senior Lib Dem Chris Huhne.

Also, Nicolas Sarkozy is in London for meetings with Gordon Brown and David Cameron.

It is the French president's first meeting with the Tory leader since 2008, and their relationship over the years has been colourful.

Mr Sarkozy took exception to Mr Cameron's decision in November to withdraw the Conservatives from the European People's Party grouping in the European parliament, a move France's Europe Minister Pierre Lellouche dubbed "autistic" (a comment he later said he regretted).

So, should Mr Cameron become prime minister, what future for the entente cordiale? Liz MacKean reports.

And as we go to air we expect preview clips of Samantha Cameron's first TV interview - done with Sir Trevor McDonald and due to air on Sunday - to be released. What will the clips reveal about her, and will she prove to be an election asset?

Do join Gavin Esler at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
