This clip from BBC news looks at the impact of the Chinese slowdown on the global copper price and, by default, the economic fortunes of Zambia's Copperbelt. The town of Kitwe, the capital of the region has been particularly adversely affected. The clip is ideal for students preparing for their OCR F585 exam paper in June.
