More details below.

In the ongoing struggle over the auto industry bailout there has been endless debate on Capitol Hill and around the country. But for the Brewer family it has become a personal affair - pitting father against son. For more than three decades Tom Brewer has worked for General Motors and is currently at one of their plants in Tennessee. His son Jake is the Internet Director for the Green Energy Coalition and on his blog he expressed his reservations about the bailout in an open letter to his father. BBC World News America presents a first person account in which Jake and Tom share their views on this issue which has sparked a family feud.

BBC World News America airs at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT on BBC America

BBC America that is. That's right — Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May won't just be stopping by to hoon around a bit like they did last time, instead it looks as though they'll be coming stateside to a local cable operator near you — at least according to the BBC America site. They're showing off air times starting on August 20th with "Episode 1." No idea what season that means they'll be showing although the Top Gear BBC America page does show the guests for this season include "Ewan McGregor, Ray Winstone, and Sir Michael Gambon as well as celebrity chefs Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver."
UPDATE: We've spoken with a person at BBC America who tells us that yes, this is official — BBC America will be airing Top Gear UK starting August 20th! [BBC America]
