12:06 pm
full capacity for public sector contracts which will see delays and payment and unemployment which is already on the rise due to the shutdown but possibly the most ironic thing about this government shutdown now in its third week is that it's not saving money it's costing america at least one hundred sixty million dollars a day and given the crisis has entered its fifteenth day the overall cost could be as much as two and a half billion dollars and that number of course is expected to grow and the political debate is hampering a rise in the debt ceiling but also leaving sick americans out in the cold for each week of the shutdown hundreds of patients cannot be accepted for treatment at the national institutes of health including cancer patients seventy five percent of the staff is not working because of the shutdown and it's the patients in need of medical treatment that are suffering veterans are outraged at the closing of public parks and war monuments due to this shutdown the government has run out of cash to

a budget passed this now in washington they will the movie progress them but it's not all good the deal being talked about now wouldn't resolve the crisis but rather delay it setting the scene for another budget showdown early next year this is nothing new though called jim rogers all sort of smarts street smarts adventures on the road on the markets and said listen. we've been kicking the can down the road print sixty years and america i do you think we. were the largest debtor nation in the history of the world we've got to do something about every year that goes by and we go deeper and deeper in debt you see what's happening in washington right now same old charade they will come out a few days and they will and everything is ok no. problem two or three from now. and we'll be back but we are now only worse because the world and countries that are lending to america and really you know that russia china few other countries
12:09 pm

12:11 pm
a knock on effect elsewhere in the global economies international investors will be looking for a reform of the international monetary system and they'll be challenging the role of the dollar as the leading reserve currency. reducing the world's reliance on the u.s. dollar is being discussed ever since the credit crunch struck back in two thousand and eight later this hour to the kaiser appalling china's efforts to the americanized global trade don't mess it. right hand man of dog. terrorist no one's been sentenced to life in jail the militant known as mug as was found guilty of numerous attacks on civilians and police in the north caucuses meantime counter-terror forces say they've thought a long planned strike elsewhere in russia. two young men aged nineteen and twenty one were arrested in the region allegedly planning a terror attack on a chemical storage facility located in their region are the two young men according to federal security service are followers all they were hobby islam and have been
