Can you imagine texting 999 in an emergency, rather than calling the number? A new report by the Institution of Engineering and Technology is calling for radical changes to the emergency service to reflect the digital age, where more people, especially those younger, are communicating via text and social media. It says such a move may enable calls and messages to be better filtered to receive faster responses, probably at lower cost. Professor Will Stewart is from the Institution of Engineering and Technology.

For the first time, we have a real deadline for Greece to come up with a practical proposal for staying in the euro.

Yesterday we spoke to the investigation commissioner about allegations that big charities have been hounding vulnerable people on an official "no call" list forcing them to make donations. An undercover reporter from the Daily Mail worked for three weeks for the company GoGen. It’s used by 40 of the country's biggest charities, including Cancer Research UK, Save The Children and Age International. It also works on behalf of Oxfam, who yesterday suspended telephone fundraising while it looks in to the issue. Penny Lawrence is deputy chief executive of Oxfam.

Lower welfare, lower tax - that's what we're told to expect in today's budget. The Chancellor is expected to outline how he will cut £12billion from the welfare bill. But he'll also cut taxes by raising the threshold at which people start paying tax and raising the point at which the 40p rate kicks in. Nick Robinson is our political editor. Robert Peston is our business editor.

Even if you don’t know about the Moog synthesiser, you’ll more than likely recognise the sound. Invented by Dr Robert Moog in the mid-60s, it changed musical history. It allowed musicians to create and manipulate electronic sounds using changes in electrical voltage. It’s ten years since Dr Moog died, and three nights of tribute performances start tonight at the Barbican in London. Will Gregory and his Moog Ensemble will be playing. We speak to him today.

Scientists have successfully genetically modified oilseed plants to make omega-3 fish oils in their seeds. These oils can then be fed back to farmed fish to help sustain fish stocks and in turn support fish industries around the world. Ultimately it could benefit us to have fish richer in these healthy oils. Twenty years ago there was uproar against GM crops and a study such as this may have been greeted with demonstration and fear; so has our attitudes to genetic modification changed and why was it ever so bad? Professor Johnatha Napier is associate director at Rothamsted research, who led on this study. Professor Joyce Tait is director of the Innogen Institute, and a specialist in natural and social sciences.

Detailed plans have now been drawn up for dealing with a Greek exit from the Eurozone. Deadlines had been avoided until last night when the President of the European Council finally drew a line, Greece has until the end of the week to reach agreement on a bailout or face bankruptcy on Monday. Crucial reforms will need to be swiftly agreed by the Greek Government. Taking part in yesterday’s discussions was the EU economy commissioner Pierre Moscovici, who we speak to this morning.

In 2007 millions of photos were loaded onto a website called Galaxy Zoo, which asked for volunteers to look through those photos and identify the different shapes of the galaxies so that scientists could learn more about them. The reaction was astonishing; in just 18 months about 150,000 volunteers successfully classified 50 million galaxies. So, it was extremely successful and a boost to scientific research. But now a team of astronomers and computer scientists at the University of Hertfordshire have taught a machine to 'see' astronomical images. Dr James Geach is astronomer at the University of Hertfordshire, who led on this research. Karen Masters is astronomer and senior lecturer at the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation at University of Portsmouth.

On Saturday Jersey’s sports minister Steve Pallett was due to attend the Dance World Cup in Bucharest in Romania.  The island is hosting the event next year and Constable Pallett was, he thought, on his way to take part in the handover ceremony. However there was one small problem… he’d mistakenly been booked on a flight to Budapest, 500 miles away in Hungary.  Constable Steve Pallett is Jersey’s sports minister.

How will today’s budget frame the economic debate in the years to come? In a speech tonight, Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the RSA and former policy chief to Tony Blair, will say that the current debate is ‘technocratic, short-termist and detached’. We hear from Matthew Taylor and Financial Times columnist Heather McGregor.
