³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

will appear on the programme tonight. It was hoped he could appear on The World at One but what with one thing and another that didn't happen. So Mr Miliband (who has his own blog ) rang in just after 1330 to kindly offer to do PM - he was at the big EU pow-wow in Brussels.

We recorded the interview in the last half hour. It was a bit of a rush job for me, and for the Foreign Secretary it was in difficult circumstances. When I arrived in the studio I could hear background noise coming down the phone line as Mr Miliband and his aides tried to find a quiet spot to do the int. He told me he had accidentally stepped into a cupboard moments before. Amid the kerfuffle, the echo on the line increased, and Mr Miliband informed me they were now in a toilet. A quick check was carried out to ensure there was no-one in and that no-one would flush. Then we got on to Afghanistan and Tibet.
