Europe shares jump despite further massive falls in China

The FTSE 100 was up almost 2% at 6,003.72, while Germany's Dax and Paris Cac were both up more than 3%.

The gains came after Chinese stocks continued their run of big losses.

The main Shanghai Composite index closed down 7.6% at 2,964.97 points. Japan also saw more sharp falls and Tokyo's Nikkei index was 4% lower.

On other European markets, Lisbon, Madrid and Milan were all up 3% by mid-morning and Moscow up by 2%.

It seems more an indication that Europe thinks the business effect on them has been fully taken into account by now.
