FROM CAROLINE HAWLEY

Hello,

Tonight, Newsnight investigates the murky world of extortionate money lending. As the recession deepens there are warnings that more and more of us will fall prey to loan sharks. We've been out on a raid against a suspected loan shark, accused of lending over a £1m to hundreds of victims. But loan sharks are not the only winners in the economic crisis, pawnbrokers and legal doorstep lenders are also benefiting. But at what cost to their customers?

Also tonight: We'll be looking at the way lotteries are being used to allocate places at secondary schools in England as the government has announced an inquiry. What should Gordon Brown tell Congress when he gets his moment in the spotlight and addresses the two great houses on the Hill this week? And one of President Obama's closest advisers tells Newsnight's Ethical Man what the new administration's global warming plan will look like. Click here to read Ethical Man Justin Rowlatt's blog.

Join Jeremy at 10.30pm.
