Here is what is coming up in the programme:

In exactly four weeks Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband will sit down with other environment ministers in Copenhagen to try to agree a deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

But tonight, Mr Miliband will sit down with Newsnight's Ethical Man, Justin Rowlatt, in Justin's kitchen.

Since what will be discussed in December is ultimately about how we all live our lives, Newsnight thought where better to discuss the issues it raises but in a fairly ordinary home?

Also joining Justin - and his long-suffering family - are economist Vijay Joshi and Sarah Jayne Clifton from Friends of the Earth

They'll each get a mug of tea and a chance to tell us what kind of deal is likely in Copenhagen and how it will affect us all.

But the reality is that there are limits to how much individuals can reduce their energy consumption without fundamental changes in the way that energy is generated, and if Britain is to meet it commitments on reducing greenhouse gas emissions it faces a yawning energy gap.

Today the government announced that it plans to fill the gap with a huge expansion of nuclear power. Tonight, Susan Watts looks at the details of the plan and Jeremy Paxman will ask Mr Miliband about the thinking behind it.

Plus, it is 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Jeremy Paxman - who had only just joined the programme then - will be looking back on those historic events.

And on our website now, Olenka Frenkiel recalls being the first on the scene as East Berliners passed through the Brandenburg Gate and how she became part of TV history when she turned up in a live discussion clutching a brick from the newly dismantled wall.

The anniversary celebrations in Berlin have given European Union leaders the perfect excuse for a get-together, and their first chance to discuss who should become EU president and EU High Representative since the Lisbon Treaty was ratified.

Michael Crick will have the latest on the jobs race and whether David Miliband is still in the frame.

COMING UP ON NEWSNIGHT WITH GAVIN ELSER:

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has come under fire from former defence chiefs who have criticised his Afghanistan strategy and questioned his support for British troops there.

During a House of Lords debate, Chief of the Defence Staff Field Marshal Lord Inge said the armed forces had never really believed the prime minister was "on their side".

General Lord Guthrie, also a former CDS, accused Mr Brown of "dithering" over his pledge to send an extra 500 troops to Afghanistan and said the government had failed to provide adequate numbers of helicopters to prevent the loss of British lives.

The criticism came after a key speech on Afghanistan from Mr Brown, hastily arranged at the end of a bloody week for UK forces there.

Mr Brown said it was "simply wrong" to say troops were not getting the support they need and that he was determined to do everything necessary to protect them.

He warned the Kabul government that he will not put UK troops "in harm's way for a government that does not stand up against corruption", but again staunchly defended the mission, saying it is vital for UK security.

Tonight, Michael Crick will be looking at the Downing Street's increasingly uncomfortable relationship with retired generals and assessing whether Mr Brown's speech will have done enough to ease concerns about the operation in Afghanistan.

Also tonight, Richard Watson will be digging into the past of Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who allegedly opened fire at Fort Hood killing 13 people and injuring 30.

US President Barack Obama has warned against "jumping to conclusions" about the US-born Muslim's motivation.

But what did cause an army psychiatrist, whose job it was to help traumatised and injured US troops, turn assailant?

AND HERE IS KIRSTY WARK WITH WHAT IS COMING UP ON NEWSNIGHT REVIEW:

And on Newsnight Review tonight I'll be getting to the dark heart of the week's cultural offerings along with my guests Kim Newman, Sarah Churchwell and Matthew Sweet.

Hammer Horror lives again with a retrospective in London and two new films currently in production.

We look at how the horror landscape has changed since the last Hammer film 30 years ago.

Does Jennifer's Body, unusually written and directed by women, challenge the gender stereotypes of the genre?

And does the success in America of the low budget film Paranormal Activity, soon to be released over here, mean a return to more psychological values in horror after the so-called "torture porn" gruesomeness of recent years?

On stage, the gore of the early 20th Century Grand Guignol theatre is revived in a new work by Carl Grose. Can the horrors of previous generations only ever be played for laughs?

And Paul Auster tells us how he scared himself writing his new work Invisible, a dark page turner of murder, incest, lies and illusion.

Join us at 11pm.

The Bank of England's rate-setters have decided to pump an extra £25bn into the economy in their quantitative easing (QE) programme. The Bank has already spent £175bn on QE, which involves printing money to buy assets from banks and other companies to stimulate the economy. But despite all the many billions being spent, small businesses have seen a seventh consecutive month of reduced lending. So is QE really working? Tonight Liz MacKean will be asking if the money is reaching those who really need it.

The shadow foreign secretary William Hague spoke to us last night about the Conservative party's decision not to hold a Lisbon Treaty referendum. He defended the Tory pledge to claw back power from the EU if elected, a policy French government minister Pierre Lellouche called "pathetic". Mr Lellouche has since said that he is prepared to "live with" whatever policy the UK had on Europe. But how are we going to be perceived in Europe and beyond if the Conservatives come to power at the next election?

Security forces in the Iranian capital, Tehran used batons and tear gas to disperse opposition supporters yesterday, witnesses and state media reported. Tonight we have a very strong interview with an Iranian opposition protestor about the brutal treatment inflicted upon him while in prison.

Emily's sore throat has got the better of her, so Gavin's stepped in. Join him at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
