"Hello, Justin Rowlatt here. I'm taking a short break from my Ethical Man duties to cover business and economics today. Tonight I'll be exploring whether recession is really turning to recovery and I'm going to get my hands dirty on this one. I'm taking this talk of green shoots literally and heading down to the allotment with my spade to dig out the truth about the economy!"

Also on tonight's programme...

The prime minister said today that Britain is "overcoming" the problems of the recession, Jeremy will be asking the Business Secretary Peter Mandelson what that means and we are putting together a panel of economists too.

We've a film from our Africa correspondent Andrew Harding on the eve of elections and there's been a walkout at a UN conference after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad described Israel as a "racist government".

More on that too.

Join us at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
