Presented by Gavin Esler



We are leading on a Newsnight exclusive tonight. It's under wraps at the moment so you'll have to tune in at 10.30pm for details.

Also - Chancellor George Osborne has confirmed that he will give the Bank of England the key role in regulating the UK financial sector. Mr Osborne is due to give more details of his plans in a speech tonight at Mansion House - one of the set piece occasions in the chancellor's calendar, and an opportunity to update the City on the state of the economy.

Our Economics editor Paul Mason will be bringing us the latest on that story tonight and we'll be discussing whether the reforms go far enough.

And, it's payback time, boys... or so says the website for a new first-person shooter game for woman called Hey Baby.

The controversial web games allows the player to extract their vengeance on men in the street who catcall and leer by shooting and killing them.

We hope to be speaking to the game's creator Suyin Looui who says she designed Hey Baby to spark discussion about women's experiences of public space.

And we'll be asking if we're seeing a rise in female violent retribution in popular culture.

Join Gavin at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
