Tonight Matt Prodger reports on how many councils in England and Wales are saving money by turning off street lights.

Councils are not actually obliged to light the streets, so at a time of cuts, flicking the switch is an easy option. But what about the effects on public safety and crime? We'll be finding out.

Paul Mason will give us his take on Ireland's debt woes and the likelihood that Dublin will have to seek a bailout from European Union partners if it cannot get the crisis under control.

Plus we will be talking to Irish Finance Minister Brian Lenihan.

Michael Crick reports on anger among Labour MPs over their party leaders' treatment of former immigration minister, Phil Woolas, who has been suspended after an election court ruled that he should be stripped of his parliamentary seat, after he was found to have made false statements about an opponent.

George W Bush's memoirs are hot off the presses and we have had two people - former US Assistant Secretary of State Colleen Graffy and journalist Jonathan Freedland - speed reading all afternoon to give us their thoughts on the former president's tome.

And Stephen Smith has been meeting the legendary jazz pianist Herbie Hancock.Watch a sneak preview of that here.


Join Jeremy at 2230 on BBC Two.
