Friday 12 November 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC 2 Presented by Gavin Esler Our Political editor Michael Crick is in Oldham East and Saddleworth tonight. The former minister Phil Woolas is seeking a judicial review of last week's election court verdict that he made false statements in his winning campaign for that seat. Mr Woolas was barred from standing for elected office for three years and suspended from the Labour Party. Michael is watching preparations for the re-run of the election, and we'll debate the political and legal consequences of the case. Reports are coming out of Burma that the military authorities have signed an order authorising the release of the pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The Nobel laureate has been detained for 15 of the past 21 years, and her house arrest term expires tomorrow. There has been increased police activity outside her house in Rangoon, but as yet no official confirmation. Sue Lloyd Roberts who has reported for us extensively from Burma and who met Ms Suu Kyi in 1998, will be bringing us the latest tonight. Do join Gavin at 10.30pm on BBC Two for Friday's Newsnight. |
