| Thursday 1 July 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two Presented by Gavin Esler How safe are European banks? Over the last two days, they've borrowed 243 billion euros from the European Central Bank. That's less than some expected but a couple of hundred banks are still on life support. Our Economics Editor Paul Mason is in Frankfurt to assess how healthy the European banking system is and what the consequences are for the future of the euro and the world economy. Our Science editor Susan Watts is taking a look at the independent review into the UK's strategic response to last year's swine flu pandemic. The review's author, Dame Deirdre Hine, has outlined 28 recommendations that aim to enhance the proportionality of a future response, strengthen the development and handling of scientific advice, and improve how the government communicates with the public. We'll be joined live by the Health Secretary at the time of the pandemic, Andy Burnham. The Foreign Secretary, William Hague says the government wants to increase the country's influence in the European Union and strengthen ties with developing countries like Brazil, India and China. He said the UK must extend its "global reach and influence" or face decline in a fast-changing world. Our Diplomatic editor Mark Urban will be considering how we re-assert ourselves as a foreign power and we'll discuss Britain's role in the world with the former Foreign Office Minister, Mark Malloch Brown and the Commonwealth Secretary-General, Kamalesh Sharma. And on the day that the government set up a new website asking the public to suggest laws and regulations they would like to see abolished we'll be talking to some early contributors to the debate and ask whether such efforts at public engagement achieve anything. Do join Gavin at 10.30pm. |
