New data is painting a gloomy picture of the UK economy and Japan's economy contracts by 0.3%.

Presented by Mickey Clark and Robert Miller. 

A raft of new data is suggesting that optimism amongst UK businesses is fading, manufacturing is starting to stutter, and the jobs market is weakening. 

Japan's second quarter GDP figures show a contraction of 0.3%. Despite the drop, the figures were actually better than expected and Japanese stock markets have reacted positively. 

Finally, it's the 40th anniversary of when US President Nixon abandoned the Gold Standard.
