global vestors are watching to see if it will continue to make waves in the conference on tuesday. >> looks like another roller-coaster in asia today. >> yes, i think the asia specific markets is reeling from what's happened on monday. of course, monday evening, where you are, but it's tuesday morning here, and the market is open within the last two hours. they have to say on everything that it's the chinese market, a globalizer is fluctuating. tes -- it's down 5-10%. what we are seeing is japan, tai yarn, south korea. they have a turn around. we are looking at their market increasing, getting back into the green by 1 foy 5%. tuesday, the market have only

just opened. it's a wait and see and watch and see how it reacts. surrounding china. it's down sting, but not as bad as m it was on monday. plus what it's lost today. a lot of people in china are investing in stocks than in the past. what is the mood among the chinese. >> yes, we've been trying to gauge that mood. when we've been on the streets, many of the local people that invest are of the the middle classes. in some case, what they have done is sold property or sold assets to invest in the market, and in some places taking loans. the market has dropped, and they have to repay the loans.

how is uncertain. they don't have any liquid cash. it's a very subdued quite concerned about what is going on. let's get an idea on how the national papers deal with it. the stocks are plummeting by 8.5%, and there's one that upsets investors on the front page. and also talk about how investment in manufacturing is to proceed. what type of policy china will pursue, becoming a manufacturing, perhaps more a consumer base, perhaps the way that is suggested to progress. how manufacturing is going to be affected by the downward slump in the currency and the market. again, a watch and see how the government will react to this. as far as we know, the publishing as a whole is intercepted immediately in the

near future. they are still doing grocery seconding and going on holiday. >> it will put pressure on the chinese government. good to have you with us. thank you. >> investors in the u.s. catch their breath after the worst trading day. s&p 500 lost about 685 billion in value today. john terrett is here to break down the 21st century's black monday, not nearly as bad as black monday in 1987, which was bad enough. >> funny you should mention that. it was worse. from 1987. in terms of how the market f, it wasn't as bad as all those years ago. whatever way you look at it, it was a panicked market. the broader market, the s&p 500,

and the nasdaq down between 3.5 and 4% on monday's session, that means the dow jones is down 16-00 potts over the loft four days. -- last four days. >> reporter: if you missed it live, you should pay passengers to the clean. the dow jones down more than 1,000 points at the start of monday morning trading. giving a snapshot at a given moment, and the in the tell you all the need to know. the dow bounced back. before finally closing down and closing down 588 points after 3.8 off. the reason for the anxiety and confusion. first the health of china's economy. 40% of profits of the u.s. corporations come through china, and the economy there is slowing. no one knows by how much. beijing says the economy is growing by 70%.

some reckon is could be lower. it could be 3-4%. couple of prospects in europe and uncertainty as to whether the federal research is about to raise confidence. now under $40 for the first time since february 2009. that is good for drivers, but terrible for countries and companies to get the oil out of the ground. all this helps to produce wild rides for stocks. it's not a good time to check a 401k. wait to see what happens on tuesday for that. antonio. the signs are that there'll be more pressure on share prices here. looking at what happens in asia, the main index are focussing on shanghai, down around 4% at the moment. the other interests in asia, places like sydney, australia, and the korean market and the

>> i know that stock markets don't gohand in hand with the economy. if it creates a crisis, consumers may not spend in china or the united states. those two economies, is there not a concern this could have worldwide ramifications. >> if you are an investor, 6% of house hands are invested and it is pcl investors investing small amounts of money, acts on retail deals, if the market needs to drop it will not be that strong. over the last week or so, the government essentially spent about $200 billion usd to foreign reserves to keep is close to the 6.4 rave that they let it drop to. so the number that is coming out

to support that right now. so that points to economic figures. and despite the losses, if you go back a year the markets are up. not the case with wall street. could they react to what is going on in china. >> if you look at the reaction on mondays. a 1,000 point drop. i think in some ways, it's a reaction. i don't think we need to be as worried as to how the u.s. companies are doing. my thought would be over the course of the year, the market stu come back. >> hopefully we had the correction. >> ben, and the china market research group - good to get your perspective from shanghai. >> 16 wildfires are burning across the pacific north-west. including the biggest in

and supplying from this store and community donations. they have been absolutely phenom nam. they have made us feel so welcome and secure. they have character, feeding us. it will be a while before they have a home to return to. more than 1200 fire-dehli are working washington state's largest wildfire on record. more than 1200 burning here, growing rapidly, while the smokey stacked air works like a lid. poor visibility grounds an aerial all the. it's lit on the fire behaviour. it limits or prevents us using aviation assets to the fullest extent. >> with no reel relief in site. families like the parkers try to reach neighbours.
