First the arguments, then your chance to join the debate.
The Day the Roof Fell In
In California last year voters chose to cut local taxes - and local services. Here in Britain, local government is feeling the wind of change as a new administration, pledged to cutting waste, makes its presence felt.
On film, Brass Tacks reports on the way councils are coping with the problems of maintaining services with a declining income.
In Cheshire, for example, the effects of existing economy cuts are easy enough to see - a closed children's home, a collapsed ceiling in the council offices.
Live in the studio, the advocates of economy come face-to-face with those whose jobs are at stake and whose role is in question. Introduced by Eric Robson

Breast Cancer
In Britain, one woman in 17 will get breast cancer. Although it's one of the most common of the serious diseases in women, there is widespread ignorance of its true nature and the way doctors approach its treatment.
The vast majority of women who discover lumps in their breasts will find they are harmless, but the few who have cancer and are given swift treatment can feel that it all happens too quickly for them to learn the full facts. In an attempt to explain the disease and the different approaches to its treatment, this report looks at the various techniques using surgery, radiotherapy and drugs, and the way they each affect patients.
Jenny Conway and Nick Ross explore the dilemmas facing both patients and medical experts, so that women can decide for themselves just how far they should be involved in the decisions that have to be made about treatment.
