In exactly four weeks Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband will sit down with other environment ministers in Copenhagen to try to agree a deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

But tonight, Mr Miliband will sit down with Newsnight's Ethical Man, Justin Rowlatt, in Justin's kitchen.

Since what will be discussed in December is ultimately about how we all live our lives, Newsnight thought where better to discuss the issues it raises but in a fairly ordinary home?

Also joining Justin - and his long-suffering family - are economist Vijay Joshi and Sarah Jayne Clifton from Friends of the Earth

They'll each get a mug of tea and a chance to tell us what kind of deal is likely in Copenhagen and how it will affect us all.

But the reality is that there are limits to how much individuals can reduce their energy consumption without fundamental changes in the way that energy is generated, and if Britain is to meet it commitments on reducing greenhouse gas emissions it faces a yawning energy gap.

Today the government announced that it plans to fill the gap with a huge expansion of nuclear power. Tonight, Susan Watts looks at the details of the plan and Jeremy Paxman will ask Mr Miliband about the thinking behind it.

Plus, it is 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Jeremy Paxman - who had only just joined the programme then - will be looking back on those historic events.

And on our website now, Olenka Frenkiel recalls being the first on the scene as East Berliners passed through the Brandenburg Gate and how she became part of TV history when she turned up in a live discussion clutching a brick from the newly dismantled wall.

The anniversary celebrations in Berlin have given European Union leaders the perfect excuse for a get-together, and their first chance to discuss who should become EU president and EU High Representative since the Lisbon Treaty was ratified.

Michael Crick will have the latest on the jobs race and whether David Miliband is still in the frame.
