BT and Diageo biggest FTSE fallers
Telecoms giant BT and Guinness group Diageo led falls on the London market today after disappointing updates from the firms.
The wider FTSE fell 56.1 points to 4178.1 in mid-session trading, with stocks having started on the back foot after the Dow Jones Industrial Average failed to punch back above the 8,000 mark overnight on Wall Street.
