Hello,

Quote for the Day

"Those who have allegedly signed a letter asking for a vote of no confidence must be as mad as ferrets" - Tory MP Ann Widdecombe on those of her colleagues who are said to want David Cameron to stand down as leader.

Politics

It's the end of the parliamentary term and we've sent David Grossman out to see if he can come across any mad ferrets. Is there really a serious move by some people to oust David Cameron? More importantly, how well are Brown and Cameron squaring up?
We're hoping to have a leading member of the Shadow Cabinet on the programme. And the Political Editors of The Spectator and the New Statesman will also join us live.

Floods

We'll have the latest from - unfortunately - one of Britain's new lake districts.

Tour de Farce

More allegations of doping, more supposed scandals, it must be the Tour de France. We'll discuss is it now time to scrap the race or have a drugs amnesty? Let us know what you think by clicking here and we'll feed your comments in to the debate tonight.

The next big thing...

Imagine if you could download pictures YouTube style from your ordinary TV. Well, you can. But in which cutting edge place? Silicon Valley? Nope. Click here to watch the film now and find out. You can also read about how to send us your own films.

And finally

Today's Joke Fit For an Eleven Year Old comes from someone who would prefer to remain anonymous:

A guy walks into the local welfare office, marches
straight up to the counter and says, "Hi... You know,
I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job."

The social worker behind the counter says, "Your timing is excellent.

We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his nymphomaniac daughter.

You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply all of your clothes.

Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll be expected to escort her on her overseas
holiday trips. You will have to satisfy her sexual urges.

You'll have a two-bedroom apartment above the
garage. The starting salary is $200,000 a year".

The guy says, "You're kidding me!"

The social worker says, "Yeah, well... you started it."

Newsnight is at 10.30pm on BBC2.
