good evening, everyone. welcome to al jazeera america. while the days get longer for federal workers, tempers are getting shorter. >> this isn't some damn game. the american people don't want their government shut down and neither do i. >> there's no winning when families don't have certain whether they will be paid or not. >> both sides are far apart. while they thought american workers and small businesses are struggling.

>> if sounds like our lead story last night it's because it is. one more day has passed and the american people still don't have a fully functional government. there's no movement, no agreement, no compromise in washington. there were plenty of accusations. republicans and democrats pointed fingers and blamed each other again. >> the shut down continues with no outward indication that they are going anywhere in terms of negotiation or breaking this. pacecally, we're at the shouting stage now. there were several dozen protestors on the capitol steps today shouting at members oh of congress to phase clean spending bill without coupling that deep funding or delaying the president's health care issues

to put people back to work, pass the spending bill. both trying to get the public on their side. both sides say they will not do that. they will not negotiate on the threat of a shut down. the president and joe biden left the white house today. they walked half a block u up pennsylvania avenue towards georgetown and stopped at sandwich shop who was giving a 10% discount to furlough workers. >> right now this establishment is providing a 10% discount to all federal workers who are on furlough.

>> that is an indication thousand ordinary americans look out for each other and are not upset with the politics. they just want to make sure that everybody is doing their job and we are doing what's best for the country. >> a congress will not give back unless they have something back. today in the the wall street journal has a quote from the administration official says they are winning this war and don't care how long the shut down goes. you can imagine the republicans were jumping all over that today including the house speaker, john boehner. >> i was at the white house the other night and list on the the president some 20 times explained to me why he wasn't going to negotiate.

it turns tout president will be here over the weekend it will be pacific rim nations. he has to stay here in washington. the house and senate will be in session far very short time. no move expected out of that. they will problemry not be here out of -- yes, 800,000 works will remain furlough until this is gone. congress will work this weekend

like they did last weekend. >> congress comes in to work in a rare saturday session. this has happene happened in pat shut downs and the bill does have the support of the republicans and democrats and also president obama. however it doesn't get to the heart of the problem which is getting federal workers back on the job and overcoming the government shut down. house republicans passed a series of peace meal spending bills and fund those on their own. they talked about disaster release funding and also the program that helps low income woman and children. as we watch the weekend and head in to another week. no side of kpropl mice and

change. >> in colorado, rocky mountain is already closed. paul has that story. . >> herds of elk comes down from the jaime dows. it's a majestic and moving photo op. tours come from rocky martin national park every year. this is practically desserted it was from years past down to a trickle. right around the corner the gates to the national park are locked. this is is what the government shut down looks like 8,000 feet above sea level.

thousands of tourists are making a u turn out of town. >> this has all the making ol a man made economic disster because it's hard on the heels of a natural disster. as this park was just flooding from criminaling floods. >> it's about 15 feet higher it's keeping the river out. the timing of the shut down

couldn't be worse. we are about 75% from where we were last year. >> now that the spark closed to the west. -- now that the park is closed to the west there's one to the south. with winter come canning, no signs in washington as this park is feeling cutoff. time is running out for local businesses trying to recruit. the people in washington don't find way to work together. i don't know what will cover this country. that's the question on everyone's mind here. will washington get its act together? small businesses are also feeling the punch.

they rely as the park generates each other and the rim fire already hit them hard. now businesses are suffering from a man-made crisis. the shut down. joining us now is douglas shaw. he's the co-owner resort. welcome, it's good to see you tonight. >> thank you. >> tell me how this is impacting you. >> we have no gas. we're spending money we saved for winter to stay open right now pausnow because people showp because they don't know. we are losing money every day. >> how busy would you normally be is this time of year? >> last week i was running full midweek.

it was looking like a good october for us. we have probably lost $# 20,000. at next week, it could be $# 30,000. pause people find out, they call up, they cancel. we can't penleize them for this. it's not their fault and it's not our fault. >> what will happen. >> were debating whether we should pay mortgage or pay payroll. those are the decision that we're tpoesed to make right now. >> it is add who should stay or should go as far as employees

go. these are hard decision. nobody likes to make them. >> obviously we have some difficulty with the live picture there with douglas shaw. a tragic story. a difficult story for many people across the country and he's experienced at ow yosemite national park. >> trading has been up all week. tradeers are more concerned about the next national deadline. >> stocks the tkhroes closeed higher. and the the u.s. actually hit its debt sealing is months ago in may. some economyists are now warning

that that could and is very likely to trigger a recession. >> america -- confidence in the u.s. economys that plummeted since the shut down began. that's according to the t its lowest levels since 2011. now 2013 has been a bumper year for the stock market. it's had more than 18% so far this year. that's a great annual return by any measure. the market is down. congress hasn't done any real damage yet. that has some investors -- now financial experts will large i'll say don't touch them.

>> i was just getting to the point i wanted to ask you. what you have to say to people in congress? >> open the government. open this beautiful park. there's no reason this budget bill should have opinion introduceeintroduceed this. open the government please. >> there's a lot of people around here. >> go ahead. >> there's a lot of people around here who depend on that park. it's not just businesses like

me, it's individuals, it's workers, it's small businesses, even the cont county is losing . they could lose a million a month. that effects the every pod. they are looking at a 20% cut in their staff. just because of this. so this is echoing throughout the economy. it's very upsetting. >> so you reached o reached out. >> my nephew is on furlough in washington. i love him. he told me to take the time to make my efforts to make democracy work. so we did the let tore the editor. we have asked people to call. our house rep. we have asked people online to sign -p opinion things.

we've asked the county to put out messages to d.c.to tell them what is happening here. we're going to a demonstration on park line tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. i think there's a lot of people in this community that are upset. >> for you, this is -- this park is your business, right? >> let's face it. this is a great place. i love this place. my guest love this place. but they really come here to see yosemite. i make it easy for them. i make them happy. without yosemite, i don't have a business, no. this is all built upon that park. what do people who come to

stay and actually end up leaving have to say about all the this? >> they don't understand our government and how that would happen and how that would connect with national park. i say the majority are just disappointed because they have shown up. they have planned an entire trip. this is their only stop put they show up and they can't get in. so it's sheer disappointment. the look on their faces. it's upsets. >> it's very clear that you have experienced a lot of frustration and a lot of pain tonight. i want to tell you that we appreciate you coming on the program and we wish you the best of luck.
