Susan Hitch talks to Timothy Garton Ash about his new book, Free World. How will Britain manage its political and cultural future, torn as it is between America and Europe? Susan explores Tony Blair's solution of keeping one foot in both camps - the Blair Bridge Project - as a potential answer and discusses whether this will provide a long term solution to today's troubles - from the threat of terrorism to environmental meltdown.

Susan also reviews a new film from Russia, The Return, which won the Golden Lion at Venice and is already causing a stir amongst critics here. 

And architect Niall McLaughlin explores the latest in Night Waves Unloved Spaces - tonight, the roundabout.
