China's economy has been slowing despite Beijing's efforts to cut tax and boost spending. Iris Pang is a greater China economist at the bank ING in Hong Kong, and tells us what's behind the slowdown. And we get more context from Andrew Coflan, China analyst at the political risk consultancy Eurasia in Washington. Also in the programme, former South African president Jacob Zuma has come out fighting, as he appears before a judicial inquiry to deny he was involved in corruption during his time in power. We get the latest from our correspondent Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg. Our reporter heads to New Zealand to find out how a near total ban on foreigners buying houses there, introduced last year, is playing out. Plus our regular commentator Heather McGregor of the Edinburgh Business School discusses the wisdom of big companies spending large amounts of money buying back their own shares.
