Israel's ambassador to the US, Michael Oren, has said disagreement over
plans to build more Jewish homes in East Jerusalem has triggered a "crisis
of historic proportions" between America and Israel.
America was angry with Israel, which is ordinarily a close ally, when Tel
Aviv announced the plan for 1,600 homes for Jewish settlers during a visit
by US Vice President Joe Biden last week.
Now US envoy George Mitchell has postponed a visit to the country.
The row is happening against a backdrop of violent clashes across East
Jerusalem, which erupted over the building plan and the re-opening of a 17th
Century synagogue near the flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
Tonight, our Jerusalem Correspondent Paul Report will report on the latest
on the disturbances on the ground and the wider diplomatic row.
Jackie Long reports on the largely taboo subject of children sexually
abusing children.
Her film includes a powerful interview with a mother who discovered that her
seven-year-old daughter was abusing other children, including her brother,
having been abused herself.
David Grossman is looking at just how frightened the City is by the prospect
of a hung parliament.
And we'll be trying to find out more about the plans of Alexander Lebedev, a
former KGB officer said to be worth $2bn, whose purchase of the Independent
newspaper is expected to be confirmed shortly.
Join Jeremy Paxman at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
