Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Activists Jailed

Available for over a year

When Business Matters reported from Hong Kong on the 20th anniversary of the handover from British to Chinese rule, we asked what kind of place is Hong Kong becoming? Well, three of the founding members of the pro-democracy 2014 Umbrella Movement have been sentenced to time in prison. The BBC's Martin Yip caught up with one of the men, Joshua Wong, as he entered the court building before sentencing. The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has announced that the number of South Sudanese refugees in Uganda has passed one million. We hear from campaign group The South Sudan We Want about the mass flights of South Sudanese into neighbouring countries. This time five years ago, London was on a high after hosting the Olympic Games. Have people in Britain become fitter and more involved in sports since then? Chris Morris reflects on the legacy of London 2012. Fergus Nicoll is joined on the programme by Sushma Ramachandran, the former Business Editor of The Hindu in Delhi and Ralph Silva of the Silva Research Network in Toronto.
