| Tuesday 7 December 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC 2 Presented by Kirsty Wark Tonight we can promise excitement aplenty. Is Wikileaks a lot bigger and more powerful than Julian Assange? Amidst extraordinary scenes he was finally arrested and remanded in custody today in connection with allegations of rape and sexual molestation in Sweden - allegations he denies. There will be a full extradition hearing on December 14th. High profile supporters - Jemima Khan, John Pilger, Ken Loach - were in court today offering to stand bail. The argument was made in court that Mr Assange might fall prey to unstable characters. Richard Watson is investigating as I write. And there'll be more Wikileaks revelations tonight including information on the release of the Lockerbie bomber. Will they reignite the controversy about the release of Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi and the issue of business links with Libya? Are the Liberal Democrats in big trouble ahead of Thursday's vote on tuition fees? Following a BBC ring-round of MPs it is clear that some will defy the leadership's exhortation to support the government. Lib Dem MPs are meeting tonight at Westminster and we will have the latest. Are we about to witness the first big crack in the Coalition? And we have a fascinating film from Yemen, following a Muslim televangelist's quest to de-radicalise a country in the grip of al-Qaeda - read more about that here. I hope you'll be watching, Kirsty Keep up to date with all things Newsnight - follow us on Twitter and join us on Facebook. |
