News in Picture

Here's Kirsty with what's coming up:

We'll lead tonight with the government's first major announcement of detailed spending cuts - £2bn scrapped from projects decided upon in the last days of the Labour government and another £8.5bn suspended.

The cuts include everything from £25m for the Stonehenge Visitor Centre to £450m for the North Tees and Hartlepool hospital, and it appears that Sheffield will be hit hard with the cancellation of an £80m loan for Sheffield Forgemasters, announced by Peter Mandelson in March.

The-then business secretary had said that the loan, to build parts for the next generation of nuclear power stations in the UK, would make the company a world leader in nuclear technology.

Also in Sheffield, £12m for the city's Retail Quarter has been suspended.

Paul Mason is in the deputy prime minister's city for reaction to today's announcements.

As I write I am captivated by the live coverage of the US Congress Committee's interrogation of the BP CEO Tony Hayward.

"Sliced and diced" is one description of the due diligence that is taking place, as the Committee get's ready to interrogate Hayward for his handling of the Gulf disaster, and about BP's decision making and risk analysis about drilling the Gulf field in the first place.

We will bring you the highlights, analysis and live reaction from Washington.

And 70 years after De Gaulle's inspiring rally to the free French broadcast from BBC Broadcasting House in London, Allan Little explores the reality of, and the myth surrounding, the French resistance.

Do join me at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
