2004 ceremonies: the symbolic reburial of hundreds of victims

Presented by Gavin Esler

RWANDA

At the time of writing we may well lead with what looks like the definitive story of the cause of the genocide in Rwanda. Fergal Keane has produced a harrowing and extraordinary tale, searching for the truth behind the incident which sparked the killings of hundreds of thousands of people.

CASINO LOTTERY?

Yes it's the Dome. No, it's Blackpool. Actually it is Manchester which has won the first new super casino - in terms of odds rather like double zero in roulette. Was Greenwich's bid stymied by revelations that the Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott stayed at the US ranch of the millionaire owner of the Dome - Philip Anschutz? And will the government find a way to grant more licences for super casinos "by the back door", as the Conservatives claim? David Grossman is on the case. And we hope to be speaking to Tessa Jowell.
