Presented by Gavin Esler



From Gavin Esler:

"They are the devil's vegetable" - Royal Navy Captain Wayne Keble, who has reportedly banned Brussels sprouts aboard HMS Bulwark.

In tonight's programme:

In his formal Mansion House speech tonight the Chancellor of the Exchequer will address the issue of British banking culture and regulation.

Ahead of the speech - and therefore subject to correction - Newsnight understands Mr Darling is expected to say that the current regulatory system is not to blame for the economic downturn and that banks' own boards are the first line of defence to prevent another crisis.

Is that good enough? We'll try to find out.

All that plus the latest from Iran - we'll be speaking to Henry Kissinger about the diplomatic response.

And we have the second in Paul Mason's films from his road trip around China examining their response to the economic crisis. It's an extraordinary film.

Do join me at 10.30pm

Gavin
