  Michael Meacher on the BBC Today Programme September 6th 2003
Michael Meacher, who served as a minister for six years until three months ago, today goes further than any other mainstream British politician in blaming the Iraq war on a US desire for domination of the Gulf and the world.
Mr Meacher, a leftwinger who is close to the green lobby, also claims in an article in today's Guardian that the war on terrorism is a smokescreen and that the US knew in advance about the September 11 attack on New York but, for strategic reasons, chose not to act on the warnings.
He says the US goal is "world hegemony, built around securing by force command over the oil supplies" and that this Pax Americana "provides a much better explanation of what actually happened before, during and after 9/11 than the global war on terrorism thesis".

  Today - Media UK
Today, commonly referred to as the Today programme in order to avoid ambiguity, is BBC Radio 4's long-running early morning news and current affairs programme, which is now broadcast from 6am to 9am from Monday to Friday and from 7am to 9am on Saturdays.
Today was launched on the BBC's Home Service on October 28, 1957 as a programme of "topical talks" to give listeners a morning alternative to light music.
Today found itself in the midst of controversy again in 2002, when its editor Rod Liddle wrote a column in The Guardian that was extremely critical of the Countryside Alliance.

Ministers thus became keen to go on the programme and be heard by their leader; but the tough, confrontational interviewing style they encountered led to accusations that the BBC was biased.

Invited to propose a new parliamentary bill in a phone and e-mail poll, the audience of Radio 4's Today programme opt by a substantial margin for a statute empowering householders to use "any means", reasonable or otherwise, to defend their homes against criminals.
Today's audience turns out to embrace those earnest but vital few who take the public domain seriously and invest their energies in advancing the common weal.
Today's listeners do not seem to be looking for the thrills and spills which broadcasters feel bound to provide.

 Price: Transitional Programme in perspective - WA
Today its heritage is claimed by an array of politically disparate and mutually hostile far left groups.
A programme which does not genuinely serve as a bridge from the consciousness of workers today to the maximum programme of the socialist revolution, and which instead seeks to batter workers into submission with an endless list of demands outside of space and time, ceases to have any agitational character.
To redevelop a transitional programme for today is an international task, and one not easily accomplished by thinly spread groups of revolutionaries with little experience of leading masses in struggle, and in a non-revolutionary period.

Today ought to have a "Reithian" interest in the health of the basic institutions of the nation.
And it is also easy to see why Today and parliament are at loggerheads, in the sense that the two are competing to be the venue of the nation's debate.
Today probably also believes it is part of a new process of a new openness in government.

 The struggle for Socialism Today: Transitional Programme
Under today’s conditions your call for the smashing of the state and workers councils, when not even the faintest outline of these exist in reality, is abstract propaganda, ultra-left musing, nothing more, nothing less.
Your "action programme" is in fact a left reformist programme, a set of radical reforms which could be paid for, within capitalism, by soaking the rich with taxes.
This programme is modest — for a decent standard of living to be guaranteed to all — but the fight to achieve it raises the question of where the resources to meet these needs will come from.

 The Today programme, Rod Liddle and the Hutton report
It may well have been such comments which led the Today programme to the view that it would be a good idea to ramp the story up by creating a news headline to go with it.
As the Today programme reported, their concerns were broadly endorsed by the 2002 Home Affairs Committee inquiry which expressed the view that police methods of investigation had brought about 'a new genre of miscarriages of justice'.
Given this legacy of bad reporting on one of the most difficult and sensitive issues there is, the fact that Today should now have turned its attention to the many miscarriages of justice which have resulted from police trawling is in itself to be welcomed.

 Minister tried to gag Today programme | Society | SocietyGuardian.co.uk
Ms Hodge wrote to the BBC chairman, Gavyn Davies, claiming that the programme's reporter, Angus Stickler, was conducting a "concerted campaign" to link her to cases of abuse in homes run by Islington council, where she was leader from 1982 to 1992.
Ms Hodge's intervention came in September after she learned that the programme was investigating an allegation by Demetrious Panton that in 1992 he had tried to inform her of abuse in an Islington home in the 70s.
She added that, since her appointment as children's minister in June, the Today programme "have been constantly telephoning friends and colleagues to dig up details of events which happened between 10 and 20 years ago" but had failed to substantiate her involvement.

 Drink-soaked Trotskyite Popinjays For WAR: The Sensational Today Programme
The Today Programme interviewed Abu Izzadeen, the person who heckled Dr John Reid and who joked that the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center changed many people's lives, especially those inside.
It's one of my pet hates that the Today Programme attempts to create news items from its interviews and sure enough the 9'o'clock news broadcast led with news about comments that Izzadeen had made in the interview.
I strongly suspect that the Izzadeen interview is considered a success at the Today Programme editorial office on this basis.

One aim of the programme is to try to ensure that each BP motorway site has between one and four personnel trained in advanced first aid, depending on the size of the site, and the proximity of the emergency services.
Plans for the extension of the programme also include offering training to staff working at filling stations which are not part of the motorway service station network, in an effort to spread the net of first aid cover as widely as possible.
As well as participating actively in the ‘I Saved a Life Today’ programme, BP has further developed its partnership with The French Red Cross, with loyalty points donated by customers to the charity being matched by BP.
