hour 1
hour 2Hello and welcome to this edition of Today - a two-hour news magazine chat show brought to you by Beyond Beijing, a production of China Radio International. I'm Chris Gelken and with me here on the desk is Xu Qinduo and Ashley Eldridge.
Our main topic this morning is the global recession and suggestions by some business people and economists that the worst may be over, and we are now on the slow road to recovery. We'll be asking our panel of experts for their opinion.
In the second hour, we have News and Reports, where we'll be taking a look at current affairs here in China. All that plus our regular features such as name it - a quiz that could ultimately see you on a plane to the Middle Kingdom.
