Nato

We'll be reporting on the summit starting in Prague, in which the leaders of Nato members - including George Bush - will discuss Nato's planned enlargement. What kind of future does the organisation have?

Its Secretary-General, George Robertson, will be telling us live from Prague.

Fire-Fighters' Strike
The negotiations over a settlement to the fire-fighters' strike are on a knife-edge with the government this morning indicating there will be no extra money available.

There's been a reminder of the pressures a continued strike might have on our military personnel, who provide a substitute service. Sir Michael Boyce, the Chief of Defence Staff, has said he's worried about the possibility of our armed forces being overstretched. The Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon, who was standing next to him at the time he said this, didn't look too pleased.

On tonight's show we'll be getting the latest on whether any solution to the strike is in sight.

House prices
Our Economics Correspondent, Stephanie Flanders, will be looking at the latest news of house price rises, and exploring what they are doing to the economy as a whole.

Epilepsy
And we have a moving film from Jackie Long. 1000 people die each year from epilepsy. According to a report up to 40% of these deaths could be prevented. So when, ask campaigners, will the Government publish its delayed new strategy, and will there be any money to back it up?

Epilepsy - the hidden killer
