	Friday 8 October 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two Presented by Gavin Esler Tonight we investigate the background of Abdul Jabbar, the British terrorist suspect killed last month in a drone attack in Pakistan, who Newsnight learnt earlier this week was being groomed to head an al-Qaeda splinter group in the UK. Also tonight - in a surprise move by the new Labour leader Ed Miliband, Alan Johnson, a former postman and union boss who climbed to the top ranks of Labour government, has been named shadow chancellor. Ed Balls, who had been widely tipped for the Treasury brief, will be home secretary, while his wife Yvette Cooper, who topped the shadow cabinet poll of MPs, is named as shadow foreign secretary. "My team is united in one central mission for the future - to win back the trust of the British people and take Labour back to power," Mr Miliband said as the announced his selection, a line-up which he said was "drawn from a broad range of talents". Tonight, Michael Crick will be assessing Mr Miliband's choices for the front bench, and we'll be asking one of the members of the new Shadow Cabinet what today's announcement tell us about the direction Mr Miliband plans to take his party in. And Stephen Smith is back in Hastings for the latest in his Big Society series. This week he sees first hand the effects of the fire which has devastated the 138-year-old pier and speaks to the man credited with coming up with the Conservatives' Big Society plan, Lord Wei. You can read more about Stephen's report here. Join Gavin at 10.30pm on BBC Two.

	Monday 11 October 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two Presented by Jeremy Paxman The government is considering asking all but the poorest graduates in England to pay a "market" rate of interest on their student loans. Currently all graduates pay a low interest rate, linked to the base rate, on their tuition fee and maintenance loans. The earnings level at which they start repaying loans may also be raised. An official review of higher education funding ? due to be published tomorrow - is expected to call for the cap on tuition fees to be removed. Tonight our Political editor Michael Crick will be explaining why the changing landscape of further education and how it is funded is creating a big political problem for the coalition - all sides in government accept that tuition fees are going to have to go up, but since the Lib Dems promised at the last election to oppose higher fees it will be difficult for the coalition to reach a consensus. Then we have a piece authored by Jonathan Powell, Tony Blair's Chief of Staff when he was in Downing Street. His latest book reworks Machiavelli?s influential work 'The Prince' and offers advice on being in government and leadership, and recounts his own time inside Number 10. Mr Powell will be joined in debate by Mr Blair's Cabinet Secretary, Lord Butler. And we have the second film in our series from Hartcliffe in Bristol meeting those who rely heavily on services under threat from planned public spending cuts which David Cameron has said will affect "our whole way of life". This time we focus on law and order, crime and anti-social behaviour. Click here to watch the first film from Hartcliffe about single parent families. Join Jeremy at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
