7:01 am
was damaged and the bay would port expose the us senate has voted to approve a deal that will suspend the country's borrowing limit investing a default on the national desk after weeks indigo. sions. the bipartisan bill passed by 63 votes to 36. the $31.00 trillion dollar debt ceiling will not be lifted once president biden signs the legislation into law shall have a time see reports from washington. dc of the leadership of both parties and the senate had been yeah, this would not be the institution responsible for the us defaulting on its depths, no matter the reservations on both sides about the deal reached between president biden and the republican leadership in the house of representatives as a result of it was placed on the senate floor swiftly. the bill is past. now.
7:02 am
democrats are feeling very good tonight. we've saved the country from the scores of default, even though there were some on the other side for wanted default wanted to lead us to default. we may be a little tired, but we did it in return. among other things, some of the republicans were promised a supplemental vote on defend spending. some fee will be almost $900000000000.00. joe biden has already proposed more than the next 10 countries combined is not enough to the american military who is under funded because of this bill. help is on the way. as in the house, some progressives didn't vote for the bill. some of the bernie sanders explained his reasoning virtually at a riley to raise the minimum wage are not going to vote for a bill which will cut programs for nutrition, for housing, for health care for education. and not asked the richest people in this country to
7:03 am
pay their fair share of taxes. nonetheless, the democratic party leadership is presenting the deal as a times of bipartisanship. it's clear that the white house is proud of the president biden broke this deal, even if as a result, the principle of negotiating over the debt ceiling has been enshrined even further . and a similar scenario of immune and financial crisis may well play off again. in 2025, she ever time c l to 0. capitol hill. all attempts director of this message center for international business. i'd shop mind university who's joining us from los angeles. very good to have you with us. so thank you very much. indeed. we refer to this as avoiding a global financial crisis by making this this decision and pushing this bill through, but there are still repercussions on there because we've seen in the run up to this the markets reacting to the uncertainty ahead of this bill. yes,
7:04 am
it's true. i mean, there was all those talk that, you know, if the us for the default that would be catastrophic, but at the same time to point out the markets, they did know that wouldn't happen, right. so we see the nasdaq up again, uh the s and p is done, okay. as the asian markets are, are doing very well today on the back of this news. but in any case, there wasn't a big part of it. so it was kind of assumed, but you're right, there was a lot of nervousness they, they both the democrats and the republicans, of course, going to claim credit for, for this deal. as far as you can serve in terms of your interpretation of it, is this as good a deal as they say it is as well? no, no, it's a simple answer because what they've actually done, president biden, and kevin mccarthy, the leader of the republican controlled house, which is the lower chamber of a congress congress they've done inside deals. so there, there is that there's a, an agreement that on paper it says there's going to be all these reductions and so
7:05 am
forth. and they've already cut side deals to say, well, now we'll, we'll get some spending allocated in the coming days. so it's not nearly as substantial as they're claiming there isn't really an indication despite what kevin mccarthy might have been suggesting that that this was an effort to actually cut spending and that the, the debt shooting going up still meetings that the us is going to be in debt or has the capacity to be in debt to a greater level then before that must have some international repercussions, given the fact that it appears to be, if not, if not losing control of his dad. it's at least then sort of controlling it to the extent that it's still going up. yes, that's true. i mean, that is, so this is something that domestically and as you point out globally, everyone's concerned about that the us keep spending more than, you know, it's taking in which some amount of debt actually is smart. you know, it's kind of prudent for fiscal management for a country but, but the,
7:06 am
to the level that the us has gone, it's not, and you're right, this is so that the debt ceiling increase. for example, it's only until january 1st 2025. so we, we, we bought, you know, a year and a half worth of time at. and the us does need to get more serious about controlling that. if it wants to maintain the same level of financial influence that has it from a national perspective, internationally. this is a circumstance that we see on a regular basis when it comes to re negotiating the that ceiling. do you think that there is a global and uncertainty over the fact that the us gets to the situation on a regular basis? i mean, depending on china are 2 of the biggest, the holders of us treasury securities. they have both now reduce their holdings by, but i think it's 15 percent and 17 percent, respectively in in 2022. do you think there's a sense of countries elsewhere to begin to move away from what was once perceived as the security of the us treasury is uh,
7:07 am
there is some of that it's valid point. i mean, not only have they reduce, but there are other countries, for example, i mean china is very eager to fill that void and it has through an i n s a special drawing rights of the facility. been able to exert more influence and kind of replace the dollar on the margins. but you know, it's still the case that the us dollar is considered the risk or the us treasury is, are considered the risk free instrument and, and the dollar, the global currency. so yes, there's been some reduction, but it's not so great, for example, china and japan, reducing their holdings. you get places like saudi arabia and elsewhere that have both a strategic interest as well as phase in the, you know, honor of the us to its obligations. and so it hasn't been yet a big impact was really appreciate your giving us the benefit of your expertise and
7:08 am
this rubber cap. thank you very much indeed for being with us. and i'll just here, thank you. the united states and saudi arabia as a, towards the end, the fighting incident has been suspended. the army and routing support forces. i already pulled out of negotiations. the 2 sides have been holding talks in general and had agreed and then extended ceasefire to a lot of the delivery of humanitarian aid and a statement, but us inside, inside the initial 7 days. things find that to some reduction in fighting and enables humanitarian assistance to reach an estimated 2000000. so that means however, both parties committed serious violations carrying out air strikes and artillery strikes and failed to withdraw from homes. businesses and hospitals instead of humanitarian aid trucks was stopped in warehouses, were looted. mediators haven't ruled our future talks, but only if the army on the part of military create conditions conducive for discussions. with ally of the us, impose sanctions and companies linked to both sides of the conflict. the us
