Newsnight's Jeremy Paxman

Tuesday 7 May

Israel
Reports from Israel spoke of an explosion with dozens injured, and perhaps over a dozen killed. We spoke to Orla Guerin, the BBC's correspondent in Israel, and Gideon Meir from the Israeli Foreign Ministry.

Media Ownership
British Television crosses the rubicon as the government gives Rupert Murdoch the green light to bid for the keys to Channel 5. Jeremy Paxman asked Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell how powerful she has just made Rupert Murdoch?

Fortuyn shooting
Holland reels from it's first political assassination since the 17th century, but their election is still on for May 15th. But does the murder of Pim Fortuyn also mean the end of the far right in Holland, or just the beginning?

Mary Robinson
And just why is the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights stepping down from her job? We talked to Mary Robinson.
