states so that's why president barack obama is not in attendance at the summit, secretary of state john kerry came in his stead. attempted to reassure them that this political situation can be resolved but they're really trying to reassure that this debt situation in the united states isn't resolved very soon. >> u.s. government programs are running out of money and threatening to grind to a halt. the partial u.s. government shut down is now in its second week and doan loo doesn't look like g to be over soon. vulnerable people there may soon have nowhere to go. kimberly halcot reports. >> victims of domestic violence in washington, d.c, her program deals with government funding,

itself it isn't a warning of an imminent strike, it is making itself ready to respond, saying we should be ready to promptly launch operations at any time and there is a longer term message as well, saying the more frequently and more deeply that the so-called u.s. imperialist forces maneuver, then the more unpredictable disasters that their actions will cause. one thing to note though: at the moment these exercises haven't started thi. they were due to get underway today through thursday, but because of a strong typhoon making its way between korea and japan, it may be that they are cancelled altogether. >> china has calculated the damage done by typhoon fitow.

the cost of the damage is being estimateat $2 billion. the retrial of a greek journalist, leeing the leguard list. he was acquitted of breaking privacy laws and the verdict lacked credibility. what is the la garde list? the list was originally given to greek authorities by french minister christine la garde. little action to prosecute the tax evaders on the list. let's get more from john siropolos who is in the capital

athens. john, etrial, does that mean something has changed? it seems very much the same, same judges same case. >> it looks very much the same. acquitted in last year's case. the prosecution witnesses and the prosecution evidence unchanged. he was first supposed to be tried in june. he asked for postponement so he could prepare and this is now the final date set for that re-trial. the difference i suppose between last october and now is that vaxavanes himself is willing to go to jail. he would not appeal a condemnation, a guilty verdict because he wants he says to highlight the problem that exists with press freedom in greece and he's decide they'd he's going to make himself subject to what he would see as o, essentially, misuse of the

privacy law in greece in order to victimize and silence him. >> this was john very patently a good scoop in the adjournistic tradition. that retrial sends a not very good message to the journalistic industry doesn't it? >> that sends a message on compromise aat least on certain issues. they would cite the closure of public television in june, which caused an outcry in the majority of the population here, and reopening in july a month later. apparently not with any great reduction in the payroll. 2700 people worked in the old state broadcaster, roughly 2,000 will be hired back the government has promised. that hasn't happened yet but hundreds are on the new payroll already. now the people who simple thighs

with him would say that's clear evidence. but in order ting save a couple thousand jobs, it has to are shed 12 and a half thousand people from the state payroll. but protecting state television. vaxovanes cites the arrest of six golden dawn mps. he said up to a few days before that happened, media were talking about golden dawn as just another party. as soon as the government changed its view of golden dawn so did the mainstream media and now they are decrying them as nazis and fa fascists. >> john seropolos in athens. thanks john.

apec summit will be remembered? it is funny that the the indonesian leader said, normally, they remember the food. it is the wine and dine summit, it is not an outcome of decisions but meetings and commitments and i think that's where the importance lies. the leaders that are here, chinese leaders, japan, russia all have committed to this region. this is the major region for growth in the world. they say this is major region that can make a global economic recovery so the commitment of these leaders to come here despite their domestic problems, economic problems in their own countries it's very important. i think that's what we're going home with and that's what we'll remember from this summit in

bali. >> well also step the concluding message from apec is a warning to the united states, about the biggest economy in the world and probably the biggest debt in the world. so how serious was the message they're sending to washington in the absence of president obama, of course? >> yes, very serious of course. a lot has been said about the absence of this one person, president obama at this summit and of course officially it all has been down played. it wasn't crucial of course because the united states was represented here, there were no major decisions made here he wasn't really required here, but it doesn't seem like a very firm commitment for this very important region. it also shows to many people here especially the japanese and chinese, the u.s. doesn't have its house in order. if it doesn't have its own house in order how kit be committed to

international imhiment for example for china and the whole region for asia pacific? that was a lot of concern and was something that came out in the last few days. >> step vasson in bali, thanks step (p) in order to destroy its chemical weapons stock, ban ki-moon described it as a mission of unprecedented danger. 35 experts are already there. they have started the process of dismantling the syrian arsenal, by agreement it will be done by the end of next year. killed up to 37 people more than 100 others are injured in the iraqi capital. four security officers are dead in a checkpoint in the town of mushada, a car repair shop and a bakery were also targeted in mostly shia muslim areas.

musician, osama brush aside the danger of this work. some have been killed. or injured. this is a site where he and his neighbors come to labor for less than a dollar a day. this backbreaking job is the only viable option for getting through for their families. despite the dangers they feel lucky to be here. the stones dugd by osama and others are brought here to be crushed. these are the dealers who fund most of the operation. with these they make most of the profit. they reject the idea that using children like osama is exploitation. >> this is the opportunity of a lifetime. most of the people here are from
