Update:
As attempts are made to persuade China to assist in the eurozone debt crisis, Mark Urban will take a look at the power relations at play.
Plus, how does the news that pay for the directors of the UK's top businesses rose 50% over the past year square with our age of austerity? Is there an economic case for cutting it and is there a moral case? We'll debate.
And as British succession laws are changed to allow daughters equal rights to the throne as sons, we'll consider if this change makes the Monarchy more relevant, and why the same principle isn't being applied to other hereditary titles.
Join Gavin at 2230 on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Two.

From earlier:
The head of the eurozone's bailout fund is beginning attempts to persuade China to invest in a scheme to help rescue member countries facing the debt crises.
After meeting Chinese leaders, Klaus Regling said there were no formal negotiations and would be no deal now. It is thought China may pay about 70bn euros.
We'll have the latest.
Plus pay for the directors of the UK's top businesses rose 50% over the past year.
Incomes Data Services said this took the average pay for a director of a FTSE 100 company to just short of £2.7m.
How does that square with our age of austerity?
