| Tuesday 9 March 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two Presented by Jeremy Paxman Tonight Newsnight tracks down a former Irish priest named in an official report as a serial sexual abuser of children. Olenka Frenkiel has discovered that the former priest named in the Murphy report has been allowed to live quietly in Britain for many years. Read more on that story here. It's been an interesting day on the markets with sterling under pressure after disappointing trade figures. Meanwhile the Greek Prime Minister, George Papandreou, has called on the US to help crack down on the financial speculators he blames for exacerbating his country's debt woes. Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel has also said that it could be up to the European Commission to decide if Europe should have tougher financial speculator rules. We've asked Justin Rowlatt to investigate just what it is that these speculators actually do, and find out how powerful they are. He's been meeting the hedge fund manager, Hugh Hendry. And Stephen Smith will be harnessing the crazy power of the internet and switching his webcam on to Chatroulette, the brainchild of a 17-year-old Russian student. How many times will Stephen get "nexted"? Then we'll be discussing why it is that people behave so differently online. And don't forget that Newsnight needs your help.
