This week on BH, the latest on the death of Polish President Lech Kaczynski and other high-ranking members of the Polish government in a plane crash in Russia. The Polish Ambassador to London joins us.

Peter Hennessy and Anthony Howard are here to sift through archive of elections past and to try and shed some light on the current contest. The main parties are still arguing over whether cuts to public services can be avoided, so we ask: can we afford the public sector we have? And for those of you starting to panic at the tide of election talk; never fear- we have some places of safety throughout the programme.
