News in Picture

Before we come on air tonight on BBC Two there is a special Newsnight programme at 9pm called On The Frontline: Life with the Green Howards, in which our Diplomatic editor Mark Urban charts a year with A Company, 2nd Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment, before, during, and after their tour in Sangin, Afghanistan. It is a searing and intimate portrait of the regiment at war and at home - and not to be missed.

And at 10.30pm we'll be joined by Green Howards soldiers and their families to debate some of the issues raised in the film.

Conservative MP Philip Hollobone has introduced a private members' bill - the Face Coverings (Regulation) Bill - which would make it illegal for people to cover their faces in public.

Tonight Glenn Campbell will be in east London with Mr Hollobone to meet women who wear the niqab and the burqa to find out what they think of his proposed bill. And as Syria bans the face-covering Islamic veil from the country's universities, we'll be examining what the issue tells us about relations between Muslims and non-Muslims.

Justin Rowlatt will be examining the details of the trade which saw a Mayfair-based hedge fund acquire ownership of £658m worth of cocoa beans - around 7% of global production. He will be asking if there are ever good economic reasons to speculate on commodities like food stuffs.

And as safe deposit boxes believed to contain manuscripts and drawings by the late author Franz Kafka are due to be opened at a bank in Zurich, our Culture correspondent Stephen Smith will be considering if it is ever right for works to be published posthumously. Kafka died in 1924 and, if his own last wishes had been followed, novels such as The Trial and The Castle would never have seen the light of day.

The author had asked his friend and fellow writer, Max Brod, to burn his manuscripts after his death, but Brod refused. So what should happen to these newly uncovered works?

It's Kirsty in the presenting seat tonight - so do join her at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
