the shandong roughly three hundred million dollars goes down the drain in the first twenty four hours of the federal cold as i expose one of the losses in the billions . m.p.'s from greece's farai golden dawn party are in court on criminal charges following a public way but here over the killing of an anti-fascist musician. behind the scenes of still in diplomacy and she talks exclusively to russia's i'm listening to the you on the tiny churkin about what needs to be done to mob the road for peace.

in russia and around the world this is a party with me here national paula thanks for joining it's america's federal shutdown is beginning to take its toll the world's largest economy has already lost around three hundred million dollars on the first day the u.s. government seized operating and it's estimated the loss will only accelerate with no sign of the lawmakers resulting the budget crisis liz will find out how americans are feeling the pain. 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 is among the businesses offering special shutdown deals we don't know with the purchase of a donor with a government id still think tourism is at a standstill with iconic landmarks shut down most of the places that.

are 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 thousands of miles across the country hoping to. you know show them the national treasures and teach them a little bit a little bit about american history and show them 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 ask or did. bachmann blames the democrats

for the shutdown we haven't even gotten 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 can iron 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 funding bill that 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. the us government shutdown is sending shock waves across the globe stoking worries and fears in europe asia and australia the u.k. prime minister david cameron said america's budget becoming is a grave risk to the world economy and their headlines around the globe are occurring that sentiment the french daily figure rose out of the shutdown is

a blow to the credibility of the yards and now here's a comment from germany their big go online is called america a super power paralyzing itself one of china's major news portals scolded the lawmakers for holding their own country hostage and the australian pointed out washington struggled to agree the budget doesn't speak good about the world's largest economy as financial expert patrick young's planes when squabbles in congress end up suspending the government of the world's largest economy it's a bad sign for investors. ultimately right knowledge 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 when actually the american government is going to reach the point where it has to go and borrow more money and the problem with thought 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 and

politicians love to try and make a drama defending thing that they possibly can we're seeing this incredibly amazing entrenched standoff 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 a dispute between what looks like frankly a few needy tain agers but instead they're the government of the united states of america bickering over something in their backyard of which we really shouldn't need to have an argument whatsoever. with the u.s. government shutdown continuing into its second day the alarms are reigning over its negative effect piling up on america first of all the loss in federal wages essential services are continuing to operate but with their pay delayed however there are an estimated eight hundred thousand workers who've been stood down and want to see their paychecks and let's not forget about soaring business uncertainty

and the depressing confidence of consumers that money lost both federal workers on unpaid leave alone roughly months to one billion a week but moody's analysts say the shutdown continues for a month it will cost about fifty five billion dollars which was roughly the losses caused by hurricanes katrina and sandy and excluding property damage and more on the effects of the shutdown on the u.s. and the rest of the world let's talk to france's managing director of this young holdings missile and welcome to our to see and this shutdown surely will take its toll on the global economy of course how is it being felt in asia. well right now i'm not saying much but come two weeks later on the seventeenth when the u.s. government had to borrow more money and the u.s. congress has must raise the debt ceiling so the u.s.

government can raise more money and then repay shot turned parent and right now japan and china are the biggest holders of treasury and more than one trillion dollars each if the u.s. government the force on the short term. every bit of chaos for the financial markets. was the world so it is something that we cannot afford and we really everybody is looking forward to aaa taishan but analysts say the chinese going to overtake america's leading role in the global economy and in the coming years that doesn't mean the u.s. the u.s. shut down current shutdown is good news for beijing. right now because. you're looking at the china's foreign exchange reserves and some very nice three trillion. us dollars the u.s.

dollar nominated as says if the you as a shut down and then the u.s. dollar falls sharply china will suffer enormously because there is holding of foreign exchange you depreciate and the same problem goes for japan and also u.k. and other countries that whole huge amounts of us all as says so even though maybe in twenty years time china every over to america right now u.s. dollar is it would be a major currency reset of currency across the world and so if anything happened to the u.s. is is going to cause chaos. across the globe and that china is of course so one of america's largest creditors holding around ten percent of the u.s. debt is what's happening in washington right now i worry that. as you said china has more than one trillion us dollars of us government that

if the u.s. government for a new reason failed to repay. china's finance. hold it is something that nobody wants to see. right france's live in managing director at least and holdings mr lynn thank you very much indeed for sharing your views with us you have. to head to our website for more on the story of our own line team is constantly updating a minute by minute news line of america's federal shutdown you can fully on t. dot com. much more government must now shut down until congress funds it again. the leader of greece's far right golden dawn party is set to appear before before the court to face charges of criminal activity for senior members of the group have

unfair of the. charges and it will backfire we demand because at the moment we don't have the golden dawn will continue and it will remain strong. not its people while you have to remember that despite all these events golden dawn still remains the third 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 and pays what's more golden dawn is now threatening to remove all of its politicians from 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 tranche of e.u. i.m.f. money worth one billion euros andrey farmer from athens and
