David Cameron says he has "succeeded spectacularly" in seeing off a potential 6% EU budget increase. He has been accused of "grandstanding" after saying he wanted the 2011 budget frozen, then agreeing to a rise that will cost the UK an extra £450m a year.

Our Political editor Michael Crick is at the EU leaders' summit in Brussels and confronted the PM during a press conference earlier - asking him if he thought the British public might find it difficult to accept that he's agreed to an EU budget rise just one week after the Chancellor George Osborne announced a package of £6bn austerity cuts that will affect almost all sectors.

Watch the exchange here and hear more from Michael on the programme later.

The Mayor of London Boris Johnson has been criticised for saying he would not allow "Kosovo-style social cleansing" in London, amid the row over the proposed housing benefit cap that critics say will force low earners out of big cities.

Matt Prodger has been asking Kosovans living in London how they feel about Boris' comments, and we'll debate what cultural impact the planned changes might have on Britain's big cities with a panel including John Prescott.

And Peter Marshall's gone stateside ahead of Tuesday's mid term elections - we'll hear how the final few days of campaigning are going.

Join Gavin at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
