Newsnight  Â·  Season 2011, Episode 58

Portugal's parliament has rejected an austerity budget, prompting the resignation of Prime Minister Jose Socrates. An international bail-out, similar to those accepted by Greece and the Irish Republic last year, now looks far more likely. We'll be asking what Portugal can do without a prime minister, and what the implications might be for Euro-zone members, particularly Germany. As fighting in Libya continues in key cities, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's tanks and artillery forces seem unstoppable, despite air strikes by international forces. How effective have the coalition forces been and how long might it take to stop Col Gaddafi's forces? And Matt Prodger has a report on the US soldier Bradley Manning, who is being held in solitary confinement in a US military prison - accused of leaking confidential documents to the Wikileaks website.
