A special programme marking two decades after Hong Kong was returned to China from Britain. Lord Patten, Hong Kong's last British governor, shares his memories of the handover. The BBC's Fergus Nicoll is live from the city’s central business district as it prepares for Chinese president Xi Jinping’s state visit. Plus, we get reaction from Sushma Ramachandran, former chief business correspondent for The Hindu newspaper. Also in the programme, India’s so-called Goods and Services Tax comes into force. And, ever heard of a 'time ninja'? Cary Cooper, psychology professor at Manchester Business School, on wacky modern job titles. (Picture: Handover ceremony, Credit: Getty Images)
