Anita Anand and Andrew Neil speak to former Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy.

With Anita Anand and Andrew Neil. Reaction to news of the army sacking a number of soldiers by email, and Charles Kennedy on how Nick Clegg can keep the Lib Dems happy.

With Anita Anand and Andrew Neil. 

The army has had to apologise after a number of soldiers, including one serving in Afghanistan, were told they were being made redundant by email. The blunder comes in the wake of up to 100 trainee RAF pilots being told that they're losing their jobs. So are the cuts going too far? We ask shadow defence Secretary Jim Murphy and the Conservative MP and former army officer Patrick Mercer. 

Inflation is once again on the rise, it's now twice the Bank of England's target rate. We look at what it might mean for interest rates.

Colin Firth is a fan but will he convince any of the voters? We look at the campaign for the Alternative Vote (AV) and see how the 'yes' and 'no' camps are doing.

And how can Nick Clegg keep his Liberal Democrat party happy now the going is getting tough in the coalition? We speak to former leader Charles Kennedy, our guest of the day.

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.
