Presented by Jeremy Paxman



Tonight, we have the latest in Mark Urban's extraordinary series of films following the men of A Company, 2nd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards) during their tour in Sangin - the most dangerous place in the world for UK troops.

For nearly six months the men have been facing the daily threat of IEDs and snipers, and the strain is starting to tell.

Although mercifully no-one in the regiment has been killed, there have been casualties, and as Mark sees firsthand, there are is also the emotional toll on both the men and their families to deal with.

Also, another fall in unemployment looks like good news for the government.

But as they say, the devil is in the detail. Our Economics editor Paul Mason is poring over the fine print right now, and will be giving us his assessment tonight.

And Richard Watson is in Teesside, where the community is bracing itself for the closure of the region's last steel works and job losses in the public sector.

Can Teesside rebuild itself as a centre for enterprise in the "new economy" as it proposes?

In the studio we will be joined by senior figures from the main parties to debate which of them has the best plan for leading the country to economic recovery.

Join Jeremy Paxman at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
