The day's news, with David Eades. A UN peacekeeping force gets an "offensive" mandate for the first time - but will it stop the violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ? Also tonight: Paul Moss has a special report from India on a new farming technique which is producing bumper harvests. Could it reverse the drift of people away from the countryside to the major cities ? And later: Mario Monti says he "can't wait" to stop being Italian Prime Minister - but who's next ? We'll hear about today's discussions between President Napolitano and the party leaders. Will Grant on the race to replace Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and the New Yorker who's given a new twist to the idea that "all art is theft".
