The whole of tonight's programme is devoted to the G20 in London, where we saw Barack Obama and Gordon Brown appearing at a joint press conference to say one thing, while the French and German heads of state held their own conference to say quite another. The row is between the countries who are prioritising global fiscal stimulus (us, the Americans and the Japanese), and the ones who first want root and branch reform of the 'Anglo-saxon' model of capitalism that they say caused the mess in the first place.

Meanwhile, as the leaders of the West fail to agree the fundamentals, outside the conference centre the angry mob circles.

Check out today's Twitter updates from our reporters inside and outside the G20.

Jeremy will be joined by our Economics Editor Paul Mason, our Political Editor Michael Crick, and our Diplomatic Editor Mark Urban for full spectrum analysis of the day, while Newsnight's Ethical Man Justin Rowlatt has been following the protestors in London.

Do join us at 10:30pm on BBC2.

Justin Rowlatt and Paul Mason on TwitterToday Newsnight is on the ground covering the G20 on Twitter.

Justin Rowlatt (our Ethical Man reporter) is out on the streets with the protesters providing a live feed of pictures and updates on what's happening. He's already met police, masses of protesters and has made it to the Bank of England.

Meanwhile, our Economics Editor Paul Mason is on the inside. So far this morning he's been posting his thoughts on President Obama's news conference.

You can follow Justin and Paul on Twitter (or follow both on this Google Reader feed) and leave your own G20 thoughts below.
