the u.s. government shutdown begins to bite with a round three hundred million dollars trickling away each day of this stalemate while washington lawmakers show no sign of finding a quick resolution but. three senior members of greece's far right golden dawn party here are released pending trial for three more made in custody following the carrying of an anti-fascist rather last month. and russia investigators challenge find greenpeace protesters with piracy after that to board and the oil platform as part of an anti drilling campaign in the arctic.

you saw russia on the wrong the wall this is archie with me here national problem thanks for joining us washington struggle to govern itself has already lost america around three hundred million dollars on the first day of the government shutdown and things are likely to get even more expensive with neither republican or democrat lawmakers willing to bog down from their stance on bronco bamma signature health care bill on his wall looks now at how the deadlock is affecting ordinary people. 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 but i still think the 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 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 passport at veterans 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 know 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 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 wall. the u.s. government sponsored by disagreements on puppets or hailed that's been brewing for yaz is alarming those across the world relying on america's economic and political leadership the u.k. prime minister david cameron said america's biggest standoff is a grave risk to the global economy and headlines around the globe echoed that

sentiment the french daily figure rose size of the chandon is a blow to the credibility of the us in germany big go online called america a superpower paralyzing itself and one of china's major news portals pointed out that u.s. lawmakers are holding their own country hostage and the australian pointed out washington struggle to agree a budget doesn't inspire confidence about the world's largest economy and a financial expert patrick young says one squabbles in congress end up spending the government of the world's biggest economy investors will not be. ultimately right now investors aren't taking any for their knee jerk action but of course what we're warming up to it's 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 with 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 for the politicians love to try and make a drama 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 at this between what looks like frankly a few needy tain agers but instead they're the government of the united states of america over something in their backyard of which we really shouldn't need to have an argument whatsoever let's not discuss this fact that with andrew k.p. and independent china specialist at mr lynn thank you very much indeed for joining us here nazi and with investors express thank you press in doubt about america's credibility could this shut down big good news for asian economies.

why i don't think it's good news for anyone because our american economy is courses that is the biggest in the world. and of course it is also interrelated interdependent with a lot of other economies including the economy of the u. of china so it is no good for anybody but i think most of all it makes a mockery of democracy and i think the sense of who will bring the lesson for countries for looking in is what's happening in america right in china excesses plans to replace america as the leading global economy in a decade how does this deadlock affect these particular plans. well so far the impact on china would be minimal because the shutdown affects american public services within america and the external liabilities and external trade so

far has not affected but i think that as your reporter was referring to just now in a couple of weeks time maybe a month or so time and then the crunch would come when the question of americans their limits would be up for debate now if the two parties do a lot haunts against one another. and there is no consensus fans i think what happened where there was no apology for spending money and american put risk of default now you that's what happened then all hell would break loose because. this is the first time that a big country like america would go into default but also the u.s. dollar was the q.e. quantitative easing it's also. beginning to weaken and if there was a default band of would of course shake the world confidence in the dollar and then

it would send shivers down the world's currency markets and once again china holds a large portion of the u.s. debt towards beijing was a reaction to the squabbling over america's debt ceiling and potential default. well i think that the china only the leadership but the whole of china is watching . them and because. if that is what democracy is supposed to work then fewer people would want to but worse still as i was saying america's economies into twined with so many other you calling me so is not very good news now if there should be a risk called the fault this would of course hasten the remaining based pace. for it to be political but it will become one of the reserve currencies. along with with with the queen back and also as she was saying china has sunk

a lot of money in u.s. treasuries and u.s. treasuries because at the moment it into the all or so and many other countries are also holding the u.s. dollar as part of the reserve currency podio so the impact would be very very large you would be all over the world. china especially flying from hong kong thank you very much indeed thank you why do a range of social sectors and services are being affected by the political stalemate ninety seven percent of nasa employees i neither wacking all being paid on the agency's fifty fifth anniversary and we spoke to tony jones a full month nasa astronaut to. 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 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 to 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 for more now this is where our joined live by juliet supply of a phone listen to michael economic research at suburban pressure state by nick today welcome to our to you so the world's largest economy continues to demonstrate the dysfunctional government what effect does this have on other countries. or actually speaking oh we don't seem to that it is a very big brawl at this stage of the rules is in our view should darwinism more or less predictable you with is sure that if period of time however he would last longer it could be problem we have much more than sonce about

what you believe to borrow a borrowed depletes on. the debt ceiling and these were the do we were much more severe problems until it was too financial markets. on top of the money well and potentially how badly would biz deadlocks care international investors and creditors. well and our viewers at the speech here will not be there those significant impact however. deepening of broad bloom and the more i did weights about was feeling will lead to these months. or will. we knew the course of guns in the. recovery much less sort of and the new waves all four of our forcible. would remember. the cells on the where their financial markets.

were up and down. or when does it be. stealing or was there a tough year. here in the united states right and given the world where saying now can you presume the age of the dollar is coming to an end. well in my view the style at brochure will be more rational and in my view your. deepening all for this to be sure we will not do much you know eyes however we see that the debates. in the states. and the these will be it will be all in their beautiful for all and west of us all the old russia not interested than any of the bill and some financial markets

russia is or one of the schools are still for us there and clearly russia is a huge was that the us stability of stability of financial markets rights of two minutes of the from spare bank live from moscow today thank you very much indeed. and of course us following the developments on capitol hill for you had to our website where our online team is constantly bringing you the latest updates on america's federal shutdown that's waiting for you at r.t. dot com. much more government must now shutdown until congress funds are going. on to bring you more international news and updates in just a minute stay with us. there's

carty dot com. this is a house he welcome back the leader of greece's far right golden dawn ponce set to appear before magistrates on charges of current acts of a city and three city members of the group have been released pending a future trial links to the murder of a left wing activist on rapa she is under fire. well the crackdown against golden dawn continues apace 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 level 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 the ideology not its people while you have to remember that despite all these events golden dawn still remains the third biggest political party increase it 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 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 a you i.m.f.

a decade. the details. investigative committee began filing official charges against activists and they are being accused of piracy guilty then they could face up to fifteen years behind bars to see that their actions didn't only threaten the lives of the oil rigs workers but the environment as well greenpeace denies all the i.q. stations claiming that it was a peaceful protest to just remind you on the eighteenth of september google the organization's activists tried docking to rig in the russian north several tried climbing on board who they were arrested by the federal security service and then all thirteen were brought to the northern city of more than once where most of them remained today's their arrest was prolonged for two months spending an investigation and earlier we heard from president vladimir putin who said he didn't see or didn't view the activists as pirates but calling to him still violated

the law and i was weaned piece says that this is the biggest attack on the organisation since the french security service destroyed its rainbow warrior vessel and killed an activist protesting against nuclear tests in the pacific ocean. last year they had a greenpeace is russia program complained that the same oil platform in the arctic sea was in secure enough and could easily be countered by terrorists greenpeace activists did manage to climb up that oil rig last august the head of the campaign group's russian oxic program said at the time there was no immediate response by the coast guard or security services and they found the opposite they say yeah and in their latest protest greenpeace activists interrupted a football game in switzerland they descended from the stadium roof and wailing banners with slogans against the gas promise post of the game the banners hold for the thirty activists held in russia to be released.

sirrah say at least twelve government soldiers have been killed in clashes with al qaeda linked militants the fighting was in the northern part of the capital damascus where the on is been trying to push rebels out for months opposition fighters have been trying to capture the area hoping to get closer to president assad sent out of power and this comes as the advanced team of u.n. inspectors began by mission and see where to oversee the elimination of the country's chemical stockpiles the experts have a top toxic find and destroy an estimated one thousand tons of toxic material in the center of a wall so the u.n. security council approved the mission last week as part of a resolution a syrian chemical designed that following a poison gas attack outside damascus an organized big one on syria's chemicals destroyed by the middle of next year but many say that's too ambitious and it is the shortest time span inspectors have faced in any nation but russia's u.n.

ambassador told r.c. just possible if all sides are convinced that. this is a difficult schedule but i think there is reason to believe that this is a realistic skewers provided there is cooperation from the syrian government which we see as they are also provided there is required cooperation from various apposition groups and one important element of this resolution twenty one eighteen is that it makes demands a model only on the government of syria but also but is a position groups there must also play their part it will create the political momentum which will allow us to move from from an agreement on chemical weapons in syria to an agreement on a political settlement of the crisis in that country and convening the geneva two conference. and that was just a taste of our exclusive interview with russia's ambassador to the u. wanna watch the full version this friday in sofia and right here on r.t.
