Rajan Datar asks two listeners to give their expert opinion on the current documentary series, China: Shaking the World. Lisa Chen is Chinese-American and living in Europe, Jayaram is Indian and lives in Hong Kong, and they tell Rajan what they think of the series, based on their own knowledge of China.

Rajan also finds out why the World Service has abruptly stopped broadcasting on FM to Dubai.

And, in the week that the BBC broadcast the results of a worldwide investigation into the asbestos trade, he asks whether, in a time of financial cutbacks, investigative journalism has a future.
