Has the BBC's reputation been tarnished by the Jimmy Savile child sex abuse scandal? BBC World Affairs Editor John Simpson said 'This is the worst crisis that I can remember in my nearly 50 years at the BBC.' We speak to journalists in Brazil, America, South Africa and India to find out how attitudes to the corporation have been affected where they are. And, is China at a major turning point? That's what we asked at our live China debate in London, Beijing, Shenzhen, Washington and Nairobi. Will the superpower be able to sustain its economic prowess? How will China define itself in relation to the rest of the world and how will it face instability as a new president and new leadership takes power?
