	Description:		Some legislators in Hong Kong chanted for press freedom during a leader's address. Lawmaker Alvin Yeung of the Hong Kong Civic Party, who took part in the protest, tells us why. Also in the programme, a committee of the European Parliament has voted in favour of a ban on ten kinds of plastic most often found on Europe's beaches. Seb Dance is a member of the European parliament for the British Labour party, and tells us how the proposed ban would work. Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, chairman of one of the world's largest container ports operators, DP World, explains why he does not want to continue operating in Djibouti, after authorities there seized the company's stake in the country's main container terminal. Plus we have reports from Indonesia exploring opposition to build a coal plant in northern Bali, and examining the challenges around punctuality of business meetings in the country.
