Newsnight

Season 2011 Episode 147: 04/08/2011

Newsnight tonight investigates allegations that billions of dollars of long-term development aid money is being used as a tool of political repression in Ethiopia. Andrew Verity will be asking if the West is heading for a second economic slump. And as the government's new e-petitions website crashes with people trying to sign a range of petitions including one calling for the return of capital punishment, we'll be asking if it is really time to reinstate the death penalty in the UK. Join Kirsty for all that and more at 2230 on BBC Two.
