Musharraf: elections will happen in January  Greetings - Alex Thomson here with our latest working plan for tonight's Channel 4 News  - 7.30 this evening...
 
To Islamabad where Pakistan's  President Musharraf now says elections will happen in January. Possibly. No hint as to when he will resign from being army boss as he has promised to do. Nor anything on ending martial law. So it all rolls on. And as is the way with this rather genteel state of emergency, Benazir Bhutto has said the move is a welcome step. This delicate chess game between the two of them continues...
 
It is, of course, Remembrance Sunday and as well as covering how the occasion has been marked in Britain and elsewhere,  we've a fascinating tale of how one man's diary of life in the trenches of Flanders came to light years later, in the era of the online revolution.
 
Immigration. The agency which clears security guards has had its guard down because it's been recruiting illegal immigrants to the UK in some numbers.
 
There's a lot more around. In Northern Ireland the UDA - which back in '74 could put tens of thousands of paramilitaries on the streets during the Ulster Workers' Strike and bring down power-sharing -- says it's winding up it's armed wing and putting its guns beyond use. That news is a brief mention tonight in our bulletin as in most. How times have changed.
 
Jonathon Aitken has changed too -- he got done, got put away and got religion. Now he's got a new job, working with the Tories on prison reform. Cue Labour outrage. But if anybody's equipped to pontificate about prisons, one would have thought former prisoners would be worth listening to?
 
Find out what happened when Hugo  Chavez went off on one and the King of Spain decided he'd heard enough...and what happened when a local authority got serious about using recycled biodiesel and ran up against a morass of red tape...
 
All that, plus anything else which befalls our little lonely planet between now and 7.30.
 
Do join Katie and me at 7.30 if you can - cheers.
