Several senior figures have been arrested at Hong Kong's pro-democracy paper Apple Daily. We get reaction to the developments from Hong Kong investor Alan Zeman of the Lan Kwai Fong Group, and Selina Cheng, who is a senior reporter with Hong Kong Free Press. Also in the programme, a slim majority of countries at the UN's shipping agency, the International Maritime Organisation, have voted in favour of a package of measures that will require companies to reduce their carbon intensity in the coming years, but will allow overall emissions to keep rising. Critics have dismissed the plans as not being ambitious enough, and we find out more from Simon Bergulf, regulatory affairs director at the world's largest shipping company, Maersk. The BBC's Adam Easton brings us the latest in a dispute between the Czech Republic and Poland over water shortages said to be caused by a coal mine in Poland. Plus, with the popularity of one-day and Twenty20 cricket formats on the rise, we ask whether it is game over for the five day test match version of the game.
