What are China's leaders cooking up in their private meeting in Beijing?

What are China's leaders cooking up in their private meeting in Beijing?  Plus, the big ideas from a "blue sky" conference in Berlin.

A modest theme for today's programme: big ideas.  

We try to discern what plan China's leaders are cooking up in their private meeting in Beijing. There is no shortage of issues for Communist Party chairman Xi Jinping to worry about - yawning inequality, slowing growth, soaring property prices and collapsing returns on investment.  Justin Rowlatt discusses how he might tackle them with our chief business correspondent Linda Yueh.  

Meanwhile BBC Berlin correspondent Steve Evans joins Nobel prize winners and top professors at a conference of blue sky thinkers looking for trends that will change the world.  

Plus we've got a typically robust piece from Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times on why abuse delivered in person is the best way to get a business to change direction.
