Share prices continue to slide on China's main stock exchange.

Share prices continue to slide on China's main stock exchange prompting worries about the health of the overall Chinese economy.

The slide in share prices continues on China's main stock exchange but are worries about the health of the Chinese economy overblown? Susannah Streeter gets insights from Jonathan Fenby, of consultant firm Trusted Sources. Danny Vincent reports the story from on the ground, with voices from the Chinese factory town of Chengdu, where work is drying up along with the customers. In South Africa the rand feels the fall-out from China’s slide but Annabel Bishop - chief economist at Investec in Johannesberg, explains that the South African economy is facing other pressures. Plus, the Spanish princess who faces being imprisoned for years if she's convicted of being involved in an alleged embezzlement scam. And Lucy Kellaway is back with a vengeance with her annual awards for the worst financial gobbedly-gook. Plus, a look back at the career of the chameleon of the music business, David Bowie who has died aged 69.
