FROM JASMIN BUTTAR, PROGRAMME PRODUCER

Hello,

In an historic move the White House has announced that the fruitless hunt for Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons of mass destruction has officially ended today. We will be joined by those whose careers stood and fell over the issue.

The Home Secretary, Charles Clarke, has announced the law concerning the rights of householders to defend themselves against burglars with the use of "reasonable force" will not be changed.

But it was only a couple of months ago that the Prime Minister endorsed a review of the law looking into the level of appropriate force.

Some five million people in the country are living in homes at risk of flooding and the number is set to increase with rising sea levels, changes to the environment and the continued development of floodplains.

Following severe flooding over the last few days we ask whether we could ever make the country water tight and if so - at what cost? We'll be speaking to Environment Minister Elliot Morley.

Apple has launched its latest low-cost PC the "Mac mini" and the new shuffle iPod in a bid to secure the lower-end of the market.

Have they created a new level of competition in the PC world and will they be able to sustain it? We'll have their latest figures.

Join us at 10.30pm on BBC2.

Jasmin Buttar
