成人快手 to debate the issues of war


成人快手 News announces an unprecedented campaign of public information about the question of war with Iraq, culminating with a public debate in prime time on 成人快手 ONE.


A range of special programmes will run across all 成人快手 networks featuring public seminars involving the 成人快手's top experts, a special interrogation of the Prime Minister by Jeremy Paxman and a series of special documentaries.


The 成人快手 will ensure that all viewers and listeners have the chance to fully understand the issues facing the country over the question of war with Iraq.


成人快手 ONE and the 成人快手's interactive services will combine to offer viewers and listeners the largest forum for public debate on the war.


Iraq: Britain Decides, a 90 minute debate on 成人快手 ONE on 12 February chaired by David Dimbleby, will examine the reasoning, concerns and repercussions behind a war in the Middle East.


An invited panel of guests will debate the ongoing views, and viewers will have the opportunity to air their thoughts.


The programme will also feature the highlights of a specially arranged 成人快手 conference, a get-together of interested parties who will discuss the wide range of opinion regarding war and its consequences.


Joining David Dimbleby will be Peter Snow, who will examine the facts and figures involved if the decision is taken to send the troops into Iraq, and gauge the mood of the nation with a viewers poll.


Jeremy Paxman will tackle the Prime Minister on the case for British involvement in military action against Iraq in Blair on Iraq - A Newsnight Special on 成人快手 TWO on Thursday 6 February at 9.00pm.


成人快手 ONE's Panorama will offer an incisive guide to the intricacies of a possible war, when acclaimed correspondents Andrew Marr, John Simpson and Matt Frei get behind the rhetoric and address viewers' concerns in an interactive special - Panorama: Tackling Saddam on Sunday 2 February at 10.15pm.


The series will also follow the crucial work of the United Nations' weapons inspectorate as reporter Jane Corbin hears from both sides of this explosive game of hide and seek in Panorama: Chasing Saddam's Weapons on Sunday 9 February at 10.15pm.


Rod Liddle takes a wry look at the alternatives available to the allied troops in overthrowing the Iraqi dictator in Seven Ways To Topple Saddam on 成人快手 TWO this Sunday 26 January and Ed Stourton presents To The Brink, which tracks the story behind the events that have led to the impending turning point in the region.

We will tackle the politicians and in the best traditions of public service broadcasting, give the audiences the platform to air their views."
