Important economic news coming in from two of the world's largest economies, China and the UK.

The UK Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt has unveiled government's plans to ensure economic stability. Our UK political correspondent, Rob Watson explains.

China has delayed the release of the latest GDP figures this week amid the week-long congress of the ruling Communist Party. Nancy Qian, an expert on China and a professor of economics at Northwestern University shares her thoughts.

We pick up on another important economic issue addressed by President XI who has made it very clear that he is not changing his zero covid policy. Frank Tsai, who runs China Crossroads in Shanghai joins us.

And we turn to Nigeria where flooding has wreaked havoc, causing loss of lives and properties in many parts of the country. The BBC'S Bisi Adebayo paints a picture for us and the CEO of Cowry Asset Management Limited, Johnson Chukwu reacts.

We also hear from the man who runs the largest pan African bank Ade Adeyemi as he suggests how Africa protect itself from further economic woes.
