Afshin Rattansi goes underground on the enduring power of the petrodollar, which - like its predecessor, the gold standard - is helping foster war all around the world. Tory MP Kwasi Kwarteng says that gold has been responsible for a lot of wars -- but the real crisis is in the government printing too much paper money. Save the Children says 5 million youngsters will be starving by 2020 -- we look at who's helping feed Britain's hungry. Plus, did GCHQ chiefs ask the NSA for access to more surveillance? Vince Cable's in hot water again -- this time about where the money for his jobs fund has gone. And, what have we really learnt from the Cool Britannia era -- and was it enough to stop us repeating our mistakes?
