The XV Olympic Winter Games
The latest action from Calgary.
Figure Skating
Competitors in the pairs championship skated their short programme today. The title favourites are
GORDEEVA AND GRINKOV who are bidding to succeed their fellow Soviets
VALOVA AND VASILIEV as Olympic champions.
Commentator ALAN WEEKS Men's Luge
Live coverage from the Olympic Park of the final two runs of the men's individual competition. The sport has been likened to 'sliding off a snowy roof on a tin tray', and the lugers, in their shiny racing suits, can reach speeds of more than 70mph. STEPHEN BRIALEY is likely to carry British hopes, in an event dominated since its
Olympic debut in 1964 by the East Germans.
Commentator TONY GUBBA Plus a report from
GERALD SINSTADT on the men's 30km cross-country at Canmore Nordic Centre, and highlights of the first of the speed-skating events to be decided - the men's 500m - with commentary by RON PICKERING.

Every ten seconds, a new flight is manoeuvred through Britain's cramped airspace.
Air traffic controllers say the system is creaking under the strain.

"Horizon" gained unprecedented access to investigate how air traffic control really works.
A dimly lit operations room in West London handles everything that flies over England and Wales. Yet controllers say equipment is out of date and keeps breaking down.
Special plans for London City Airport went wrong a few weeks after opening day.

Why? How much longer can controllers struggle with the tidal wave of aircraft? Is safety affected?

Segregated Schools?
The Government's Education Reform Bill has sparked off vehement debates about parental choice in education. Tonight's Split Screen presents two different views about the extent to which religion and culture should be allowed to affect educational choice.
The Islamia Schools Trust argues that all parents are entitled to an education based on one religion and culture for their children. 'We don't force adults to celebrate Christmas, 'Eid, Diwali and Yom Kippur, so why should children?' Gus John , an assistant education officer in London, argues that denominational schools in a multi-faith society are inevitably divisive and that schooling should reflect 'the life, culture and experience of the whole community'.
