Regulators shut down Russia's benchmark stock exchange, RTS, for an hour after shares plunged.

Stocks had opened lower, after a torrid trading session on Thursday in the US amid fears over the success of a federal bailout plan to stave off a recession.

The RTS index dropped 7.1% to 1,070.5 points before trading was halted.
