						FROM GAVIN ESLER
					
					Hello,



						Today's Quote for the Day:


"He was thrilled when I told him he had come ahead of Brad Pitt and George Clooney in a survey of the world's most attractive men. He was less than thrilled when I told him the list was in alphabetical order" - Sarah, wife of Zombie Brown, the Prime Minister in waiting.


In tonight's programme:


Salman Rushdie


The government of Pakistan has demanded that Britain withdraw the honour of a knighthood awarded to Salman Rushdie. 


In the heated atmosphere the knighthood has caused, Pakistan's religious affairs minister appears to use the award as a justification for suicide bombing. 


David Cameron and the Battle for Britain


The Conservative leader has made a speech rallying his troops against what he sees as the "old" politics of Zombie Brown. 


We'll be hearing from a senior member of the Shadow Cabinet about whether this is an attempt by Mr Cameron to get back on track after a very shaky couple of weeks.

Israel and the Palestinians 


The schism between Gaza and the West Bank leaves Israel with the unpalatable possibility of a kind of "three state" solution" - two hostile Palestinian entities on its borders. 


With Prime Minister Olmert visiting the United States, we'll hear from a top Israeli about what the Olmert government sees as the next move on Gaza.


Bernard Manning 


The comedian Bernard Manning died today. Steve Smith will be assessing what he did for British comedy.


And finally...


Newsnight viewer Dick Carbutt sent in the following joke which is - probably - fit for an 11 year old.


I went to the Patent Office trying to register some of my inventions.


I went to the main desk to sign in and the lady at the desk had a form 

that had to be filled out.


She wrote down my personal info and then asked me what I had invented.


I said, "A folding bottle."


She said, "Okay. What do you call it?"


"A Fottle."


"What else do you have?"


"A folding carton."


"What do you call it?"


"A Farton."


She sniggered and said, "Those are silly names for products and one of 

them sounds kind of crude."


I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the office

without even telling her about my folding bucket. 


Newsnight is at 10.30pm on BBC2.
