WED 18TH FEB 22:30 GBT - BBC TWO PRESENTED BY KIRSTY WARK Hello viewers... home is where the heart is- but for the Home Secretary, it's her second home that's causing her heartache, and a parliamentary investigation. Jacqui Smith has designated her sister's house in London - where she stays during the week - as her main home, rather than her constituency home in Worcestershire, but neighbours say the policemen are only outside her London residence two days a week. So what have we here? David Grossman turns detective. This afternoon I interviewed the man with the money, the head of the IMF Dominique Strauss Kahn who was in London today for talks with the Prime minister. He tells me the IMF warned of the impending crisis but no one paid attention - so doesn't that say more about the IMF? He talks about a second wave of crisis hit countries, including the new European democracies and how many of them are already knocking on his door for money. He also talks about the possibility of more social unrest, and he warns the G20 that they must come up with - and stick to - a plan for a beefed up IMF to act as a global financial institution. Afghanistan is Barack Obama's first troop deployment - he's announced a 17,000 strong force under the command of General Petraeus. Petraeus was the architect of the US surge in Iraq, so what does that tell us about his mission in Afghanistan? Our Diplomatic editor Mark Urban maps out the challenge, and what he thinks Petraeus will do. And then... our version of sending Daniel into the lion's den - Robert Peston goes to the home of Northern Rock to meet some very angry people who believe that one year ago he was responsible for its collapse- you can read more about his trip here and watch from behind your hands tonight!
