| Tuesday 27 July 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two Presented by Kirsty Wark After record losses announced today and a change of CEO, BP might be hoping to move on after their problems in the Gulf of Mexico. But a special Newsnight report from Louisiana suggests the oil giant could be about to face an even bigger reckoning - billions in compensation payouts and a criminal investigation. Peter Marshall is in Louisiana where he's been meeting people affected by the devastating oil spill and the sky-diving lawyer trying to help them get decent payouts from BP. Justin Rowlatt will be explaining the argument that is raging around the rights and wrongs of the WikiLeaks release of over 75,000 secret US military reports covering the war in Afghanistan. He'll be profiling the whistle blowing website and the man behind it. Our Science editor Susan Watts will be watching Energy Secretary Chris Huhne's keynote Commons statement on Britain's energy shortfall in which he'll announce help for renewables but no public subsidy for new nuclear plants. So how are we going to plug the energy gap? And we'll be joined by poet and modern day troubadour, Simon Armitage, who yesterday completed a 264-mile walk along the Pennine Way funded entirely by donations, food and accommodation given in return for nightly poetry readings in the village halls, homes and pubs he passed along the way. We'll be asking him if poetry really does pay. It's an Olympics free zone tonight - join Kirsty at 10.30pm on BBC Two. |
