world headlines live from moscow with me let's get straight to it for you right now america's federal a shutdown is beginning to take its toll the world's largest economy has already lost around three hundred million dollars on the first day of the u.s. government seized operating it's been estimated the loss will only accelerate with no sign of the lawmakers resolving the ongoing budget crisis new york now with. day two of the us government shutdown is underway and experts say for every hour that washington remains power lies it will become increasingly painful for american citizens and the nation's economy to the shutdown erupted after the republican controlled house of representatives failed to come to an agreement with the democrat led senate on passing the federal budget the core issue obama's affordable care act known as obamacare a group of republicans refused to fund the government and pass

a budget unless the president's health care plan was dismantled or defunded and as the government overseeing the world's largest economy and military remains closed for business experts say the global reputation of the world's superpower may suffer the worst damage there's literally nothing the u.s. government can't and won't do for unclear reasons sending whatever shock waves they feel like sending into the u.s. and global economies i can't imagine a recipe that would undermine confidence in the dollar and the u.s. or particularly the u.s. government faster or more effectively than what we see on every news channel in the world every day for a week and counting the last government shutdown in one thousand nine hundred ninety six under president bill clinton lasted twenty one days and white house officials say cost the country some two billion dollars now this shutdown will not end until president obama and congress agree on a budget but a bigger worry is that if washington remains whole the rise the u.s.

may be on the brink of defaulting because in a few weeks another battle over the debt ceiling will begin reporting from new york . party. in the meantime u.s. politicians are set to meet again to try and bring the government back on track for the meanwhile though americans themselves are getting increasingly stressed by the situation more from washington now in our lives wall. it's really frustrating for the american people and for myself to see you know our government be so inefficient local businesses say they're getting worried we depend on the government here especially for this business and we have a lot of agencies around here so we're just going to turn a little quiet around here he's among the businesses offering special shutdown deals we don't know with the purchase of a donor with a government id the postal tourism is at a standstill with iconic landmarks shut down most of the places. closed today all thousands of people come to d.c.

each year to visit the monuments and museums but today at many of these places like here at the natural history museum they're greeted with a sign like this one announcing that they're closed this family traveled from arizona to do some sightseeing we drove our kids from going arizona balogun to miles across the country hoping to. you know show them the national treasures and teach him a little bit a little bit about american history and show him how great this country is instead we're learning about government the world war two memorial was closed off to visiting veterans until members of congress came to help break the barrier among them congresswoman michele bachmann maybe eight to twelve of us members one member had a scissor cut the tape and then we just passed courted. bachmann blames the democrats for the shutdown we haven't even got return calls most of the time from the

president or from harry reid even the last one the last bill said will fully fund the government bought it would you sit down with us so we could hire an out some concerns that we have harry reid said not to do that you just take our way or no way but many others point their finger out the republicans they're the ones who put the obamacare bill into the flamingo would has no business being there the hope now is that a deal comes through. so everyone can get back to business as usual in washington liz wahl r.t. . when talk about reverberations of the u.s. government shutdown is sending shock waves across the globe stoking worries and fears in europe asia and even australia the u.k. prime minister david cameron has said that america's budget bickering is a grave risk to the entire world economy and headlines around the globe are echoing exactly that sentiment for the french daily love to go said the shutdown is a blow to the credibility of the united states and a comment from germany spiegel online called america

a super power power lies in itself and one of china's major news portal scolded the lawmakers for holding their own country hostage and the australians are pointed out that washington's struggle to agree on the budget doesn't speak well about the world's largest economy a financial expert patrick young explained to my colleague bill dog but when squabbles happening congress ultimately it looms a very bad sign for investors. this is just another example of how difficult it is to trust the american government machine but ultimately what do we want to see as investors well we like to see leadership and that's one of the problems we have at the moment unfortunately mr obama seems to be occupying the white house but he doesn't give us any confidence that he's actually leading the united states of america ultimately right now investors aren't taking any for their knee jerk action but of course what we're warming up to is going to be another couple of weeks' time somewhere between i think the seventeenth and the twentieth

of october where actually the american government is going to reach the point where it has to go and borrow more money and the problem with that is it's been drinking vodka like an alcoholic for forty or fifty years and the bar tab needs to be paid but in the meantime they're hoping to get some more credit there's a lot of overreaction here isn't it is this crisis may not last for very long and of course the u.s. economy is showing signs of recovery so it's not looking that bad for the future is it. oh gosh you know it's very important to understand where we are in this perspective and that is of course that in the little bubble which is washington d.c. and the capital all politicians love to try and make a drama or defending thing that they possibly can we're seeing this incredibly amazing entrenched found off and you know what's really happening is actually ultimately while obviously there are problems for those million people who aren't getting paid at the moment and indeed the eight hundred thousand who ultimately have been furloughed for the time being actually what we have here at this between

what looks like frankly a few need. but instead they're the government of the united states of america becoming over something in their backyard of which we really shouldn't need to have an argument whatsoever and then with the u.s. government shutdown continuing now into its second day of the alarms are ringing over its negative effects piling up on america let's talk about some of the federal losses for you here on r.t. essential services they will be continuing to operate but with their pay delayed however there are an estimated eight hundred thousand workers who have been stood down and will not be receiving their paychecks and let's not forget about the soaring business uncertainty in the depressing confidence of consumers in fact money lost by federal workers on unpaid leave alone roughly amounts to a billion a week but moody's analysts say if indeed the shutdown continues for a month it will cost about fifty five billion dollars roughly the losses caused by hurricanes katrina and sandy excluding property damage charlie mcgrath the founder

of wide awake news he believes the u.s. lawmakers are completely disconnected from the nation. this is united states of america the richest country in the world we have forty nine million people who are living in poverty forty million of them are on food stamps now the last government shutdown ninety five ninety six where you sit in it it under a trillion dollars in sovereign debt today we sit at seventeen trillion dollars in sovereign debt you know twenty million people unemployed is there a disconnect that is an absolute understatement in a washington d.c. i truly believe does not understand what the average person in this country is going through most people even in the mainstream are starting to understand that washington d.c. does not serve the people that elected them and sent them there in most cases it's not saying all five hundred thirty five members of congress are out to get their constituency but it sure seems like the people that stay there for decades at a time they control legislation that decide what's to be talked about on the floor of the congress or on the floor of the senate you know these people are there so

long it's obvious that they're special interest driven you know they're there to make sure that they crowd in the tax dollars for the special interests that help fund them and keep them in the position of power and nasa is one of the non-essential services affected by the government shutdown which leaves it grounded on his fifty fifth anniversary and ninety seven percent of its employees today have the day off likely they're not in any mood to celebrate and we spoke to tom jones a former nasa astronaut. i was i experienced the same thing myself back the last time we had a government shutdown in one thousand nine hundred five and i was an astronaut and i was told i was an essential part of the agency so i did report to work during those days but it is frustrating because everyone has deadlines everyone has a schedule to keep and be told to just mark time and lose this time and makes everyone feel that they are there or not they're not able to do their job.

but always have to a website for much more on the story online constantly updating a minute by minute news line of america's federal shutdown is just a few clicks away. much more government shutdown until congress funds as we go. to athens where the leader of greece's far right golden dawn party is set to appear before magistrates to face charges of criminal activity for senior members of the group have already made preliminary court appearances come down on the political pot was spotted by the killing of an musician last month allegedly carried out by a member of golden dawn reporting from athens. well the crackdown against golden dawn continues pay scimitar heavy police presence and paste in the party have appeared in court here in athens charged with being part of

a criminal organization a total of six have been arrested along with its leader the cost mikail only of course and that followed police making a direct link between the party and the death of an anti fascist rapper while that action did quell a wave of public come arrest following that death it has also produced a backlash from golden dawn and also from their supporters one of whom spoke to r.t. anonymously. to show my support for the golden dawn. it's unfair of the government to abuse charges and it will backfire we demand because at the moment we don't have a. golden dawn will continue and it will remain strong as the ideology not its people well you have to remember that despite all these events golden dawn still remains the biggest political party in greece is has eighteen elected m.p.'s and getting rid of them will not be easy it is against the law to ban any political

party here in greece and even if you did put the politicians in jail they would still remain pays what's more golden dawn is now threatening to remove all of its politicians from the parliament and that would trigger by elections and perhaps destabilize an already fragile coalition and in turn could jeopardize greece's chances of securing more european bailout money but the country already waiting to hear if it will receive the latest try and shift e.u. i.m.f. money worth one billion euros and farmer. still many more stories to come your way later in the program here at r.t. one of them being fighting to survive a report on how farmers in portugal are setting up patrol groups. to combat metal thieves in the region who are stealing their farming a quick. and a widening crackdown on egypt's muslim brotherhood as the mists accuse the government of being too harsh and of pushing the country only deeper into political

outside damascus another deadline to destroy all facilities is the first of november many find that timeline to be a bit too ambitious it is the narrowest window that the u.n. team has ever had to face in any nation but russia's ambassador to the world body churkin he told r.t. the challenging time frame will work if all sides take part. this is a difficult schedule but i think there is reason to believe that this is a realistic schedule provided there is cooperation from the syrian government which we see as the year and also provided there is required cooperation from various opposition groups one important element of this resolution twenty one eighteen is that it makes demands and not only on the government of syria but also on but is a position groups there must also play their part it will create a political momentum which will allow us to move. from an agreement on chemical weapons in syria to agree to an agreement on
