| TUESDAY 31 MARCH 22.30 GMT - BBC TWO PRESENTED BY JEREMY PAXMAN Hello, G20 is almost upon us. Paul Mason writes: "President Sarkozy has threatened to walk out of the G20 summit if it does not pass some tangible measures. His foreign minister has reinforced the threat today, saying that the French won't sign the communiqué if it is vacuous. What lies behind the stance of the big Eurozone powers? And could they really march, Greta Garbo style, out of the ExCel centre? Jeremy has just interviewed outspoken German finance minister, Peer Steinbruck. He was, as always, outspoken but told us it was "not very likely" that the Germans would follow President Sarkozy into the flouncing out lobby in Docklands. Watch Newsnight for his views on whether Gordon Brown's economic measures are working in Britain." The former chairman of RBS, Sir Tom McKillop, has written to the Treasury Select Committee defending the bank over the issue of Sir Fred Goodwin's pension. As it happens, Lord Myners is, at the time of writing, giving evidence to a Lords committee. We will be watching closely. Meanwhile, Richard Watson has spent the day in the City hearing from the police and protesters ahead of tomorrow's day of action. What will the police and protesters tactics be? And what are bank workers doing in preparation for tomorrow?s anti-capitalist demonstrations? And do you remember Tina Owen? She's the Woolworth's worker who was made redundant and took on the Employment minister live on Newsnight in February. We return to Swindon to spend a day with her as she tries to find a new job. And we'll be examining the Obama effect as he touches down in the UK tonight for the summit. Do join us at 10.30pm. Missed Newsnight?
