Stock markets drop sharply for a second day as fears grow of a fresh global economic slowdown. Poor German economic data and recent pessimism from the International Monetary Fund have been blamed, but how worried should we be? We speak to Marie Diron, from credit ratings agency Moody's. We speak to Nick Woodman, the surfer-turned-billionaire boss of GoPro, which makes tiny high definition cameras. Plus, we find out about the revival of the UK high street, thanks to fish and chip shops and tattoo parlours.
Colin Peacock of Radio New Zealand joins us to discuss the day's news.
