Guadeloupe Braces for Hurricane Maria

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Guadeloupe Braces for Hurricane Maria

The French territory is preparing for the arrival of the latest storm in the Caribbean

The French overseas territory is preparing for the arrival of the latest storm to hit the Caribbean.

The French overseas territory of Guadeloupe is bracing itself for the arrival of Hurricane Maria - the latest storm to hit the Caribbean. The EU's Trade Commissioner, Cecilia Malmstrom says Britain can't establish new trade agreements before April 2019. The last British colonial Governor of Hong Kong, Lord Patten, is scheduled to make a speech that coincides with the latest court hearings involving a group of pro-democracy activists. Economist Andy Xie gives his reaction. She died as Mother Teresa. Since her death she's been anointed Saint Teresa. Now, the Missionaries of Charity have decided to trademark her sari, as Rahul Tandon reports. Plus the BBC's Anna Holligan explores whether live video gaming might become part of the Olympic Games. Fergus Nicoll is joined on the programme by Alexis Goldstein, a financial reform advocate in Washington DC and Andy Xie, an independent economist in Shanghai.
