	FRIDAY 6 JULY 22:30 BST - BBC TWO FROM EMILY MAITLIS Hello, LIVE EARTH "Would you", one viewer asked "hold a hog roast to promote vegetarianism?" The analogy takes a moment. But it's there. Just. Does the staging of an enormous carbon-spewing series of concerts across the globe really raise awareness of green issues? Perhaps, inadvertently, it does. Just as the hog roast - like the proverbial visit to the abattoir - really could convert you to the joys of a meat-free life. Tonight, we'll debate the point of Live Earth. We'll ask whether those involved really should practice what they preach. Or whether it's nice just to have a tree hugging sing-a-long anyway. LORDS Gordon Brown made it clear this morning that he would be holidaying at home. No borrowed rock star villa in Barbados for him. Unfortunately, the man in charge of sanctioning the final touches to the "Government of Talents" is vacationing as we speak. Peter Gwynn-Jones is the man who can grant titles to the new peers. Without him nothing happens. And the lords, as they say, are revolting. IRBIL And we report from the only national Iraqi festival of the arts. Can the cultural community do anything to unite a country - when the politicians appear to be failing? All this and more at 10.30pm. Emily Missed Newsnight?

	PRESENTED BY MARTHA KEARNEY DIE HARD 4.0 Sometimes working on Newsnight Review is so arduous. I have just come back from the cinema where I watched Die Hard 4.0 with a bunch of other people who were probably skiving off from work. Oh, and I had popcorn too. Mind you, some of the stuff we are given to review is genuinely hard work. I still have nightmares about Stephen King's novel Lisey's People. Michael Gove called it the worst book he had ever read and he was spot on. I didn't expect to like Die Hard 4.0 especially on my own in a half empty cinema but it certainly has its moments. I shall find out later what my guests made of it - Matthew Sweet, Marina Hyde, David Aaronovitch and Ekow Eshun. DEXTER We are also reviewing a new TV drama starring Michael C Hall from Six Feet Under. This time he is a forensics analyst by day, a serial killer by night. Yes, seriously. It's based on the best selling novel, Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay. DAILY ENCOUNTERS You can see another killer - Crippen - on show at the National Portrait Gallery. Daily Encounters is a history of Fleet Street photography from 1900 to 1986 and although it isn't a large exhibition it has some wonderful images. My favourite is a cheery milkman walking through the rubble of the blitz, a doughty Englishman - except that it turns out to be a fake. He is the cameraman's assistant employed to get round the censorship rules which judged that too many pictures of devastation was bad for morale. THE LAST CONFESSION The Last Confession, our last item, stars David Suchet in a debut play by an American lawyer. It is set in the Vatican in 1978 when Pope John Paul I died after only 33 days in office. Could he have been murdered? Hope you can join me later at 11. Martha
