Shares in Deutsche Bank have rebounded after the CEO, John Cryan, reassured staff the bank is "strong" and blamed "forces in the markets" for trying to damage trust in the bank.

Shares in Deutsche Bank have bounced back in New York after the chief executive, John Cryan, reassured staff the bank is "strong" and blamed "some forces in the markets" for trying to damage trust in the bank. Reports of hedge funds taking the exit door sent Deutsche's shares on a rollercoaster ride in Europe, losing nearly nine percent as investors continued to fret about several challenges facing the German banking giant, notably a $14 billion fine in the US. We analyse the crisis that has enveloped Deutsche Bank with Michael Kemmer, General Manager of the Association of German Banks and the influential British economist John Kay.

The BBC's Katie Hile gathered the views of delegates at the Women in Business seminar, held in the City of London.

It has been another busy week for the BBC's Business News Team keeping you up to date with developments ranging from the reaction to the first Presidential Debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, to India's policy on climate change, or yet another survey showing we are all too addicted to our smartphones. We reflect on the week's business news with Mike Regan, a columnist with Bloomberg in New York and Sam Jones, defence and security editor, at the Financial Times in London.
