Britain Welcomes Xi Jinping

The Chinese premier Xi Jingping sits down to dinner with the Queen as he begins his three day state visit to the UK. The British government hopes to establish a new special relationship with the world's largest economy, and will announce a series of business deals with Beijing worth $30bn. But the visit is not without its critics - from those wary of the British losing face to the Chinese, to human rights groups eager to highlight the ruling Communist Party's record of abuses. We hear from all sides.

Luxury car maker Ferrari raises $893m in its IPO - nearly enough to afford one of its own vehicles - and millions of voices suddenly cry out in excitement as the full length trailer for the new Star Wars film is viewed around the world. We look ahead to its December release.

Throughout the programme our guests are Jyoti Malhotra, Senior Writer on India Today in Delhi and Mark Miller, Managing Editor at Marketplace in LA.
