	FRIDAY 27 JULY 22:30 BST - BBC TWO FROM GAVIN ESLER Hello, NEWSFLASH This week after the rows about faking things on television, I received some YouTube clips - originally shown on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson - cut together to make it look as if the former US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was giving an unusual Pentagon briefing. Instead of listening to reporters' questions he was practising origami, rolling a cigarette, drawing a cartoon. The technical fakery was very clever. I sent the clips to all Newsnight staff. Today a national newspaper phoned the BBC press office to ask if this meant that Newsnight was not taking the faking on TV scandal seriously. I am not making this up. They really did. Come on guys, get a grip! In tonight's programme: DOMINO'S PIZZA It's been called one of the worst cases of worker exploitation. The Transport and General Workers Union claims Hungarian migrants employed at Domino's Pizza franchises in Derby have taken home virtually no pay for months because of illegal deductions from their wages. Tonight we put these allegations to Domino's Pizza live on the programme. FLOODS After the week of some of the worst flooding since records began in Britain, there is a new appreciation of what some of the poorest people in the world face. We don't normally report the flooding in many of the world's countries but tonight we have reports from three other countries where flooding is devastating people's lives. And the causes are surprisingly similar to the ones you'll find in Britain - Victorian drains, building developments in the wrong place and cities built round the meeting points of big rivers. RUSSIAN YOUTH And while the coming week will see mass celebrations to mark the 100th anniversary of scouting in Russia, more than 10,000 will gather for a very different youth movement. It's a pro-Kremlin youth group called Nashi or "our-own." We've been finding out what the Nashi phenomenon means for Russia and potentially for its relations with the West. AND FINALLY Today's Joke Fit For an Eleven Year Old comes from Newsnight viewer Daniela: A policeman stops a woman who had been speeding and the following conversation ensues: P: Can I see your license please? W: I don't have one, it's been taken last time I was driving drunk P: Can I see the car papers then? W: Don't have any, I stole this car, but let me just look in the glove compartment under my pistol... P: You stole this car and have a pistol in the glove compartment? W: Yes, I put it in there after I shot the driver of this car and put her body in the boot. P: You have a body in the boot? W: Yes. After hearing this, the policeman calls for backup and as these arrive a superior officer approaches the woman in the car, asking again: SO: Can I see your licence? W: Yes, of course here it is. SO: Whose car is this? W: Mine, here are the papers. After checking the glove compartment and boot and not finding anything he says to her: "This is strange, my colleague who first stopped you said you had no licence, stole the car, had a pistol in the glove compartment and a body in your boot" To which the woman replied:" oh dear and I bet he also told you I was speeding..."

	PRESENTED BY HARDEEP SINGH KOHLI And at 11 I'm joined on the Review sofa by Sue Perkins, Rowan Pelling, Ian McMillan and Bidisha. THE SIMPSONS MOVIE You gotta love The Simpsons. Apart from keeping parents and kids amused the show has been critically acclaimed. The cultural impact of The Simpsons is such that the word "D'oh" is now in the Oxford English Dictionary and Groundskeeper Willie's phrase "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" became notorious with reference to the Iraq war. All that is left for The Simpsons to conquer is Hollywood. In the big screen version, Homer has to save Springfield. (It doesn't begin well). He has to save it from a mess he himself created, in inimitable Homer style with pig excrement and a large metal drum. Of course there is resentment, father/son alienation and ultimate redemption: the usual ingredients in any episode of the yellowest family on TV. There have been the inevitable complaints of late that the searing satirical nature of the show has waned and with it the quality of writing. Will the movie version save the day? HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS I don't know about you but I have had breath bated in anticipation of the newest and last of the Harry Potter series. To say it was the most eagerly awaited literary offering of the modern era might not be an understatement. Ten years since The Philosopher's Stone, six books later, and over 300 million sales, JK Rowling's final instalment is Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. Harry is 17: no more the naïve pursuits of childhood. No, this book is all about good overcoming evil, Harry's love of a woman, family and big grown up sorts of dilemmas; there's blood and surprises in almost equal measure. Gripping stuff... MACBETH AT THE PROMS The Proms is a regular fixture on the music scene. This year at the Royal Albert Hall, Shakespeare is one of the themes and this week we saw the acclaimed Glyndebourne production of Verdi's Macbeth. For me the on-going discussion about theatre as opera has been what the musicality adds to the drama. Or maybe I should just enjoy the great clothes and the orchestral score? THE HOAX And we end with the film The Hoax, starring Richard Gere as Clifford Irving, an American writer who went to jail for producing fake memoirs of the reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes. In a climate when the broadcasting industry is being scrutinised for fakery, you could say this film is somewhat timely. The events took place in the early 70s and some say that Irving's knowledge of payments made by Hughes to Richard Nixon, fuelled the corrupt president's paranoia which lead to the break-in at the Watergate hotel. The rest, they say, is history. Do join us at 11pm. Hardeep
