From Kirsty Wark:

First tonight, is Barack Obama's stimulus package working?

There are worrying indications that it may not be, and this could have devastating consequences for the global economy.

Ben Bernanke the Federal Reserve Chairman has been seeking to reassure Congress and Wall Street today, appearing on Capitol Hill.

Tonight we speak to eminent economists about Mr Obama's recovery plan. David Grossman is in Washington and Paul Mason in the studio.

The former editor of The News of The World, Andy Coulson, now a key advisor to David Cameron, has told MPs he has never condoned the use of phone hacking, and that he made it clear to his staff that they should not use subterfuge unless there was a clear public interest.

Were his answers convincing?

Plus, we have an exclusive film about the practice of polygamy in the UK - a number of British Muslims are 'marrying' multiple wives in unregistered religious ceremonies.

We speak to one woman (anonymously) who fled a polygamous marriage and another Muslim woman who actively sought a polygamous marriage.

Should it be outlawed? Baroness Warsi tells Newsnight the government is turning a blind eye to the practice.


Do join us for all that and more at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
