there may be delays social security and medicare payments would keep coming food stamp benefits will be available but many other services under the snap program that help needy mothers and children would be suspended the u.s. postal service would. or it's our exam so court will remain in session at least until mid october but if the government stay shutdown longer than ten days judiciary jobs would be at risk for furlough active duty military is considered essential so men and women in uniform will stay at work but it's likely paychecks will be delayed that's because even though the military is considered critical about half of the department of defense is not on the chopping block nasa most of its employees would be furloughed a few workers would remain on the job to man mission control the food and drug

deadline for a painful legislative standoff for the budget deal was finally agreed on the debt ceiling though another nerve racking issue in the summer of twenty eleven it was sending shock waves across america and the wider world as well but the sky did not fall as it was agreed upon just two days before time was up and political commentator brian fox who told my colleague about tressa that washington is actually used to playing these games of deadlines. bluff now and you can look back and see the same sort of little opportunities in grandstanding every time with different variations and the main variation being who's in power in the white house the sense of political number one from the republicans or is it political but number two from democrats and liberals are also controls congress so that's the stage. why though this drama
2:05 am
this theater political opportunism is the game of. washington d.c. my claim both have the same of your basic goals for platform we're all more for endless war they're all on board for endless spending for one for corporate welfare one for social welfare they're all or for surveillance or all of or for the police state or for the big things you just talk about. a crisis deal crisis where a lot of details are changed so the essential federal services will continue working despite the shutdown general solenn pay the publisher of the trends journal he says be careful of the hype and the warnings of a total collapse have been strongly exaggerated it's more theatrical than anything else they keep talking about how it's going to a shutdown will bring down the economy by one point four percent the g.d.p.
2:06 am
how do they know every percentages of a come up with about anything has always been wrong they say this is more theatrical and it's very important to look at this not only as the shutdown but really it's symptomatic of all of washington. go back to two thousand and eleven for two years yorkers are all we kept hearing about was going over the fiscal cliff going over the fiscal cliff they talked about it so much standard and poor's downgraded u.s. credit worthiness and then we had sequester and next month we're going to have the debt ceiling again this is more three ad tricks it's the it's that the washington drama queens doing what they always do behave in a manner that is unbecoming of professionals and adults. analyses online team is listed ten ways the government shutdown could impact america from the looming default to the closure of museums just

state is off to prime minister david cameron has hinted that he wants to withdraw from the european convention on human rights it's long been the subject of irritation for many brits with such measures as insisting u.k. prisoners should have the right to vote and allowing foreign criminals to remain in the country and definitely taking up the story for us. david cameron has said clearly that he wants to know that he can keep the country safe and that means being able to chuck out as he said anybody that doesn't have the right to be in the u.k. and who threatens the u.k. way of life now we don't have to look very far for examples of where the european convention for human rights has been a real form in the side of the british government there's the very famous case of the radical hate preacher abu qatada now he famously avoided extradition from the u.k. for over a decade because his lawyers argued that it was against his human rights to return to his native georgian where he could face torture there and it's not just abu
2:09 am
qatada there's all the criminals who have tried to use the european convention for human rights to basically get greater lenient c. towards their punishment so david cameron has said explicitly that his goal is to renegotiate britain's relationship with europe radically and that his idea of the e.u. being an ever closer union as it sets out in the guiding principles of the blog well that's something that doesn't correspond with what britain wants in fact the polls have been showing increasingly that it's not what voters want and in fact the emergence of the u.k. independence party which supports an immediate british exit from the european union well that shows just how strong anti e.u. sentiment in the u.k. is and so david cameron again he's under pressure to stop losing conservative supporters going over to ukip so he's got to try and balance what the what the anti e.u. law both within his party and the anti e.u.
2:10 am
sentiment in the public what they want and we're seeing the prime minister therefore opting his rhetoric against the european union brussels has said time and time again that westminster conscious cherry pick the policies that it wants and throw to the side the ones that it doesn't want the more vividly the e.u. membership it's not and menu but again we've got this indication from david cameron that if he is reelected as prime minister he's going to try very hard to make it one. and we spoke to john laughlin from the internet of democracy and cooperation in paris feels human rights have become a means of manipulation in the foreign policy of the u.k. britain does exploit the issue of human rights terribly in its relationships with russia there was an occasion a few months ago where a recommendation was made to limit the abuses committed by journalists and william
2:11 am
hague the foreign secretary said that these measures should not be introduced in britain because then britain would not be able to castigate russia over its own allegedly of freedom in the media so there's no consistency and it shows how human rights have become a hypocritical mechanism for attacking russia and a hypocritical instrument in foreign policy. thanks for joining us here on our.

if you were playing around on facebook or the n.s.a. may be spying on you those details in just a minute here on our team as we come to you live from moscow. the israeli prime minister is in america with a mission to persuade obama not to trust iran on a meeting with the president netanyahu urged him not to lift the crippling sanctions against the country at least not prematurely his visit is spurred on by the foreign relations between washington and tehran as the leaders of both nations made their first steps to long awaited talks on a possible nuclear settlement a marina portnoy details from her. he will be the last speaker wrapping up the
2:14 am
united nations general assembly debate but israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will likely not offer the same harmonious tone heard last week from iran this president who is expected to argue that israel and the world at large should continue to be on guard against tehran's nuclear program even insisting that the international sanctions which have been crippling iran's economy not be eased now just seven days ago iranian leader hassan rouhani delivered his debut address at the u.n. g.a. proclaiming that his government was ready to resolve any and all concerns about his country's nuclear program even promising more transparency and engagement with the united states during a meeting with u.s. president barack obama at the white house on monday israel's prime minister insisted that tehran offer immediate concessions by suspending sensitive nuclear
2:15 am
projects or else face even greater international pressure now obama assured netanyahu that all options including military options are on the table when it comes to protecting u.s. interests in the middle east or hope is that we can resolve this diplomatically bush as president said before i would prefer that we take no options off the table including military options netanyahu is visits the u.n. comes four days after a historic fifteen minute phone call between president obama and rouhani it marked the first time in thirty four years that the nation's leaders had a conversation now last year when the israeli prime minister addressed the u.n. g.a. he presented a cartoon diagram of a bomb claiming that iran would enter the final phase of a weapons production by mid twenty thirteen israel has of course adopted off from that assessment since making it but wall tel of the it has been ringing alarm bells over tehran's. legit nuclear program it is simultaneously even ignoring calls from
2:16 am
iran syria and other countries to join the nuclear nonproliferation treaty that's aimed at keeping the middle east free from weapons of mass destruction israel has also not confirmed or denied if it has its own nuclear arsenal reporting from new york. and we're coming to you live from moscow it was last week the leaders of the u.s. and iran spoke directly for the first time in more than three decades however geo political analyst william and he believes there are some groups in america that i want to lose the convenient image of iran always being seen as an enemy iran hasn't made a. hostile little war aggressive war on any nation for more than a century and a half and i certainly don't think they're insane enough to try to launch a war on israel which is armed to the teeth with nuclear submarines and other weaponry that would would the really enough to be to the advantage of iran at all
2:17 am
so i think this is a fabrication by a certain international war lobby in washington perhaps in britain france and certainly around the israeli defense industry and certain circles in israeli intelligence around the yahoo that that would want to have iran as a bogeyman to justify the continued support of washington to israel. just a couple of clicks away you can always had online to see what our web team every lining up for you this hour including the latest snowden leak the n.s.a. has been raking in private data on the web browsing habits of millions of innocent and this without. justification. twenty fourteen winter games now entering the final strait and you can follow the. vision page of our website click away. dot com.

2:19 am
it as a way to win locals hearts and minds it's hard to find a more cynical way to win hearts and minds the u.s. and allied forces have maintained that opium production provides a livelihood for afghan farmers but it's been destroying their lives the lives of thousands of children around three hundred thousand afghan children are now drug addicts my colleague visited one family in afghanistan three mothers all three addicted to opium heroin and marijuana they blow opium in the face of their children to make them fall asleep so that the grown ups can cater to their own addiction they give marijuana to their very young children they buy drugs before they buy food here's what their daughter said the fear of the night my mother told me let's go to the bazaar i want to buy something for you i said really we went and my mother said to this man do you want to buy these girl he got to give you and give us a hundred f.
