(BBC News)
December 7, 2001
Japan has entered a recession, according to the latest official figures, which show the world's second largest economy continued to shrink between July and September.
The news means the world's three biggest economies - the United States, Japan and Germany - are all now in, or on the verge of, recession for the first time since the 1970s.
