i'm going to. the shandong roughly three hundred million dollars goes down the drain in the first twenty four hours of the you are federal told there's an expose of losses in the business. and peace for greece's far right golden dawn posse are in court on criminal charges following a public way with theory over the killing of an antique conscious musician.

this is all she coming to life for most hello and welcome to the program. america's federal shutdown is beginning to take its toll the world's launched economy has already lost around three hundred million dollars on its first day of the u.s. government seized operating and its estimate is the loss will only accelerate with no sign of the lawmakers resulting the budget crisis 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. for

business 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' friends over in arizona thousands of miles across the country hoping to. you know show him 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 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 by which you sit down with us so we can 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 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 wall r.t. . the u.s. 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 big currying is a grave risk to the whole world economy and the headlines around the globe are echoing the sentiment the french daily figure the shutdown is a blow to the credibility of the u.s. and his comment from germany to go online now called america

a superpower paralyzing itself one of china's major news portals scolded the lawmakers from holding their own country hostage and the australian pointed out or struggled to agree the budget doesn't speak good about the world's largest economy as financial expert patrick yon explains one squabbles in congress and spending big government or the world's biggest economy it's a big 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 than 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 a ringing over its negative effects piling up on america and first of all the loss of federal wager is essential services are continuing to operate but they're paid to late however add their own an estimated eight hundred thousand workers who've been stood down and won't receive their pay checks and let's not forget about soaring business uncertainty and the depressing confidence of the consumer as

mindless by federal workers on unpaid leave alone roughly amounts to one billion a week but mood is 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 sunday together excluding property damage for the rest of the while the worst could be just ahead as mark rubenstein from the russian asset management company i have see metropole explains all the shutdown is actually the minor issue from the standpoint from from internet of international investors the bigger of course a point of the bigger battle will be regarding the increase in the limit of the debt ceiling which is going to come up in the in the middle of the months yes has enough money to pay its bills until october seventeenth so we have no increase in the dead

a limit is approved adopted by the congress and then it will be technical default and again that's there's going to be a huge problem for the financial system a lot of investors could. demand their money back and basically put their treasuries that are widely held by international central banks and. all kinds of institutions they could demand payments and for there for the treasure that a car and they held and that's that that will snowball this problems. and nasa is one of the non essential services affected by the government shutdown which leaves it grounded on its fifty fifth anniversary ninety seven percent of its employees have a day off today but no mood of celebration there and we spoke to tom joad a former nasa astronaut. experience the same thing myself back the last time we had a government shutdown in one thousand nine hundred five and i was an astronaut you

know 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're not they're not able to do their job. and head to our web site for more on this story now online team is constantly updating it minute by minute newsline on america's federal shutdown information on r.c. dot com. much more government must now shut down until congress funds it a go. but leader of greece's far right golden dawn posse is set to appear before magistrates to face charges of criminal activity for senior members of the group have already made preliminary court appearances three

of them were released pending trial a climb down on the political pothole sponsored by the killing of an anti-fascist musician last month and legit carried out by a member of golden dawn she's and her family is in athens are. while 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 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 unrest following that day 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 have all these 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 argues the ideology 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 were triggered by elections perhaps destabilize an already fragile coalition and in turn could jeopardize greece's chances of securing more european bailout money with the country already waiting to hear if it will receive the latest try and shift a u.i. meth money worth one billion euros and farmer for athens. and later in the program by report on how farmers in portugal are setting up on to
