Shenzhou 7 will leave an orbital module of which Shenzhou 8 will attempt to dock to, creating a mini space station. Both will be launched in the same window, and the spectacle is specially prepared for the 2008 Olympic Games. They are preparing two missions at once, so it takes sometime. Shenzhou 7 will carry three astronauts, and do the first spacewalk. Shenzhou8 will probably carry two astronauta one male, one female, or also 3 (2 male, 1 female), and attempt docking.

The craft had a routine orbital correction during its 28th orbit. The mission is broadcasted 24-hours on the CCTV-News Channel. I don't know what the BBC said as it's blocked for me.
