I think I don't understand the question.
Well, it doesn't matter. Tune-in at 5 o'clock and you will know all the details.
Yes, that is Newsfile. And after 5.30 we will also have a legal talk-show on international affairs.
Well, I have been listening to our interpreters and they are interpreting everything that we have said. I admire them and I thank them because they have also done the interpretation for the Newsfile. We hope they also interpreted whether Mr Patten will be greeting our colleagues in Cantonese, and our audience. Well, I'll try my best to ask Mr Patten to greet us in Chinese. But I'd also like to know about Mr Patten's dress and how he looks.
Well, Mr Patten is dressed as usual, dark-grey jacket with a blue tie with squares. It seems very sharp. Before the programme started, I had a chat with Mr Patten to ask him whether he knows of our programme and he said yes. I was quite shocked because there is no reason why he would have heard it because it is all in Cantonese. Maybe we have interpreters for him. Of course a lot of people work for him. But he told us that he heard some excerpts and this is the first time that he will be using an interpreter to listen to the programme.
In that case, let's go ahead with our interview.
Alright, Mr Patten please.
Governor: Good afternoon. Nice to see you. I'm glad you think I'm dressed sharply. I'm dressed entirely Hong Kong; everything I'm wearing is made in Hong Kong, so I'll be alright in Hong Kong Fashion Week next week.
Speaker: Governor, good afternoon.
Governor: Good afternoon.
Speaker: Our colleague, Miss Ho, has suggested that maybe you should greet our audience in Cantonese. Would you like that?
Governor (In Chinese): Audience of News Salon, how are you?
Speaker: Yes, how are you Sir?
Governor: I'm very well and I'm pleased to be on this programme.
