Top Up Fees
student demonstration
On the day thousands of students said no to top up fees we asked Education Secretary, Charles Clarke, why the government had committed itself to a massive increase in student number without, seemingly, working out how to pay for it.

Unpopular US
Does the rest of the world hate the US? An American think tank said it does. We asked their spokeswoman, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, just how her country could recover in the popularity stakes?

NHS
We also had a look at real life in the frontiers of the shiny new NHS when we visited the Birmingham Primary Care Trust. Is localised, devolved healthcare working?

Bad Bosses
And our economics correspondent, Stephanie Flanders, put her spin on a report that says bosses in the UK aren't very good at looking after their staff.
