The world's finance ministers emerged from a summit over the weekend declaring an end to the so-called "currency war". But is it really over?

The global economy is still beset by currency devaluation and protectionist rhetoric. Will the currency war escalate to a trade war? Against this backdrop, David Cameron has promised a "forensic, relentless approach" to ensuring the UK's future economic growth.

In his first speech to the CBI since becoming prime minister, he said the government would offer help to ensure new companies can prosper. Our Economics editor Paul Mason will report tonight and two of the world's leading economists Richard Koo and Ken Rogoff will discuss.

Also tonight we have the latest in our series of films from Hartcliffe in Bristol where people rely heavily on the services threatened by the austerity cuts announced by George Osborne last week. Tonight we?ll hear how they think the cuts will affect their lives.

Then our Political editor Michael Crick will be bringing us the latest on the news that the government is planning a "very radical" overhaul of the state pension.

And, following Nick Clegg's admission that if he were marooned on a desert island his one luxury would be a stash of cigarettes, we'll consider when it becomes acceptable for politicians to fess up to smoking.

Join us at 2230 on BBC Two.
