Hello, I'm Johnson Issac with the BBC news. North and South Korea said they've reached a deal after a marathon talks designed to reduce tension of their border. Both countries put their military forces on alert after a brief exchange of fire last week. Steven Evens reports from Seoul. "It took just short of 48 hours of talking before the two sides stepped back from serious armed confrontation1.

South Korea depicted2 that expression of regret as an apology. The agreement now reached is not expected to lead to a permanent easing of tension."

Business discovered using illegal workers will no longer be able to claim they didn't know a particular employee was not allowed to work. They'll have to show that they carried out proper checks before taking them on."

It's been a day of turmoil8 along stockmarkets around the world has fierce deepened over economic slowdown in China. At one point the Dow Jones index in the United States was down by 1.000 points, one of its biggest ever falls. Although it later rallied, it still close down more than 3.5% on the day. The main markets in Europe and Asia fell by more than 4%. And China's Shanghai was down more than 8%. Our economic editor Robert Peston has this assessment9 of China's economic troubles. "For thirty years they grew 10%. The official grow target this year is quite a lot less than 7%. But if you look at the fundamentals that they are so dependent on debt-fuelled investment, they can't go on much longer,that growth could fall much more to save 3%. Now the point is that China has been generating quarter of the world's growth for years and years and years. If growth falls from 10% to 3%, I'm afraid that does mean that global growth slows down very dramatically indeed."World news from the BBC.
由于中国经济放缓，全球股市出现混乱情况。美国道琼斯指数下跌1000点，创最大单日跌幅。尽管之后有所反弹，但是单日跌幅仍超过了3.5%。欧洲和亚洲的主要股票市场跌幅均超过4%。沪指甚至超过了8%。BBC经济事务编辑罗伯特·派特森就中国经济所遇到的困难进行了评价。30年的发展，中国经济增长了10%。今年的官方增长目标远低于7%。但是如果从基本面来看，中国经济过分依赖以借贷为主的投资，这样的经济发展将不会维持太长时间，那么经济很有可能会降到3%。现在的问题是这么多年，中国一直占据全球增长的四分之一。如果从10%降到了3%，那么恐怕全球经济真的要经历大跌。这是BBC全球新闻报道。
