An Afghan-born suspect, believed to be behind Saturday night's explosion in Manhattan which injured 29 people, has been taken into custody after he was shot by police.

The arrest in New Jersey came after millions of residents received a cell phone alert from police, telling them to look out for 28 year old Ahmad Khan Rahami, who was " armed and dangerous'.

His arrest came moments before US President Barack Obama responded to the terror attacks at the weekend in New Jersey, Minnesota and New York.

A banking crisis in China is a growing risk for the world economy according to the banking industry's global watchdog.

That indicator is calculated from borrowing levels in relation to the size of the economy, compared to the long-term trend.
