Today's programme editor is Carol Rubra - here's her early e-mail to the programme team:
Good morning,
OFWAT have fined Southern Water Β£20.3 million, their biggest ever fine on a water company for misreporting of information and providing a poor service to customers. The SFO dropped its fraud investigation earlier this year. So what has happened to those responsible?
Mervyn King will be speaking to journalists this morning at the launch of the quarterly inflation report. He will give his assessment of the strength of the British economy and the continuing fallout from the credit crunch. Meanwhile there are more details on the costs to the taxpayer of the Northern Rock bail out.
Gordon Brown will announce the results of Admiral Sir Alan West's review of security arrangements in crowded spaces. He will also talk about measures to prevent the rise of Muslim extremism in local communities.
The UN nuclear monitoring body, the IAEA is expected to report today on how far Iran has complied with its requests to monitor the country's nuclear activity. Gordon Brown has threatened further sanctions if it fails to comply. Is Iran serious about co-operating? We have an interview with Iran's Ambassador to the IAEA.
Peter Marshall has done an interesting interview with Michel Platini, President of UEFA. He's accusing billionaire American owners of leading English football clubs of being in football to make a fast buck.
Other things happening today:
Pakistan - Imran Khan has been arrested, Scottish budget, PMQs.
Any other stories around you think we should look at?

Dear Newsnight
thought for a story
the doomlines are being written already about football. just about everything you cover ever day, not you personally, its a national disease, but instead of a post mortem before the patient has died, why not invite someone like
Fiona Harrold
onto your show and look at another way of facing life, problems etc
best wishes
Bob
