Concerns of a major economic slowdown in India

Available for over a year

With India’s latest growth figures due to be announced later this evening there are concerns of a major economic slowdown for one of the world’s fastest growing economies. Our reporter Arunoday Mukharji joins us live from New Delhi. The international effort to contain an outbreak of the Ebola virus in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo has suffered a big setback because of a violence in the region. We speak to Margaret Harris of the World Health Organisation, one of dozens of UN personnel who have been evacuated from the city of Beni. For decades, the Black Sea was a dumping ground for agricultural and industrial waste - leaving environmental scientists to conclude that parts of it were entirely dead. Our correspondent Jonah Fisher has spent the last few months visiting countries that border the Black Sea - and travelling across it. Plus, we have the latest of our extended interviews with figures from the leading British political parties. We hear from Vince Cable, former leader of the Liberal Democrats. And on Black Friday - when shoppers fight over the best bargains - we hear about "Buy Nowt Day", which is being encouraged instead in a town in the north of England. All this and more discussed throughout the show with Stephanie Studer , China business correspondent for The Economist, in Shanghai. (Photo: Rickshaws being manufactured in a factory in India.
