Chinese Stocks Slide

Available for over a year

The benchmark Shanghai share index plunged more than 6% on Tuesday. It's the biggest drop in three weeks. It follows an equally tumultuous period in June and July when Chinese stock markets lost a third of their value in a matter of weeks. So what's behind China's rocky voyage through the seas of stock market investing? We speak to Jonathan Schiessl from UK-based Ashburton Investments. Also, in Qatar, more than one and a half million migrant labourers work on construction sites. They've been essential to the country's plan to host the 2022 football world cup. The difficult conditions these workers are faced with are well documented. The government was supposed today to launch a Wage Protection Scheme, to sort out the payment problems. But at the last minute, we've heard that this will be delayed now, until November. We discuss the situation with Mustafa Qadri, Amnesty International's Gulf Migrant Rights researcher.
