The EU and Turkey have ended a summit in Brussels and delayed a decision on how to ease the migration crisis. We hear from Istanbul where media freedom is under threat as several high profile editors are arrested. We also explore what President Erdogan hopes to get out of negotiations with Europe.

Also - on International Women's Day, we'll hear about the struggle towards gender equality in boardrooms across Asia. And the National People's Congress is underway in China - with a new 5 Year Plan addressing energy consumption, job creation - and inflation.

Throughout the programme we're joined by our two live guests, Alex Frangos of the Wall Street Journal in Hong Kong and Elmira Bayrasli, co-founder of Foreign Policy Interrupted and the author of "From the Other Side of the World: Extraordinary Entrepreneurs in New York"
