This bulletin, the us inches closer to a government shut down after the republican led house fails to approve bill to temporarily fund the governments. More than dozen republicans voted against the partys own stop gag bill proposed by their leader kevin mcarthy.

It will trigger the furlow of hundreds of thousands of federal workers and would halt a ride range of government services, would also leave troops without pay. Fry huws journalist, author and activist joins us from santiago to campa. We also have hasan yunis who is economic analyst joining us from bayroot. Welcome to you both brahies, let me first start with. Uh, so were looking at what appears to be another instance of a party wrangling in the us, now um, we could discuss uh, whether its the republicans that are at fault or the democrats. But leaving that all aside, um, how much of danger does that put the us economy when you have the threat of a looming shutdown . Yes, i think thats the most important question that you could possibly ask. This is about uh kind of interactions between the two political parties, but the main effect is going to be for the people, the people who are on low incomes, the people who are living from uh check to check, the people who may lose their home if they affalt on their mortgages, so while the uh republicans are threatening to bring the country basically to star, all the politicians will continue to as will president , there will be no final impact any the millioners, and yet the most Vulnerable People on the ground in america are at most risk of the government uh coming to the financial government coming to uh, but what we really look is the republicans trying. To uh force their uh political ideology uh to the income government and i think the ukraine is actually the basis of all this Republican Voters no longer want to support uh ukrainian american money going in a in a Money Laundering scheme where arms and money is sent to ukraine in order to be laundered and sent back to the military industrial political corporation in america so the Vulnerable People will. Suffer and the millionaires and uh will be laughing all the way to the bank, so i hope this doesnt happen, i think its horse trading, i think basically what were seeing is leverage being applied by several individuals in the house of representatives in order to uh further their own political interests and their own political careers. Well, henus, looking at this uh purely in terms of uh, the um economic aspects of it, its um quite incredible when you take a look at um. The uh mount or the share that the government actually contributes when it comes to the us economy, i think its upwards to 25 that the government has uh expenditures that contribute to the us economy, so that in itself is rather huge amount for it to all of sudden be taken out of that um economic output, what of impact will that have if again if the shutdown occurs . Thanks for. Me actually the 25 which youve mentioned is an unhealthy indicator to be contributed by the government, the government expenditures have to be for some investment purposes, not only for expenditures, on such purposes that that ill be mentioning and that will be impacted by the Us Government saturday midnight deadline to stop funding of the federal agencies, which is the force shut down to occur over the past decade, actually this will hurt the american families, it will have. An impact on key governmental functions including loans to farmers and small businesses, food and Workplace Safety inspections and other other major Infrastructure Improvements will be affected, so for example 1. 4 million active duty members of the military and tens of thousands of air Traffic Controllers will be among those working without pay, before listing the the impacts, this has this has negative influence on the perception of the us economy on. The perception of the us brand, especially emits deriverly with the brakes with china in particular, so and and this this this is giving the republicans an upper hand before the upcoming us elections, so on another note, it will have an impact, for example on the special supplement Nutrition Program for women, infants and children, on museums, national parks, Research Facilities and Communities Health centers, federal government oversight or fund are likely to suspend operations, as well, the with the global warming, were witnessing lots of hurricanes, lots of earthquakes all over the especially in the atlantic, so the agency at the helm of relief and discovery from natural diseases wont receive funds in in case something happens, so can you imagine the the the negative impact with which which this might have, even if the issue is resolved, as i said from a branding perspective of a country, the the uh the harm is there, it has already occurred. All right, well both you and our guests from beirout mentioned uh how the once were less privilege, lets put it that way, will uh obviously be on the receiving end of this, and henus talked about the supplemental food program, which is called snap, of which you have, i think roughly around 35 million americans. Would depend on that, and and thats where uh the big question mark comes in as to um ethically whether this uh government or even uh preceeding ones who were involved in government shutdowns whether it happened or not, put in put at risk these families who rely on uh the assistance food programs, why is it that those kinds of factors or those kind of things are not factored in uh when when were looking at the big picture here . Yes, well id like to say that its obvious that the American Government and the american administration, which should be there to work on behalf of the voters and the citizens of america. A government that should be there to use taxation to pay for health, education, infrastructure, welfare, cover all the programs youre talking about, but the republicans want to deny the most Vulnerable People in society in the capitalist free market, that is the american kind of political status and situation, and they care nothing for the people at the bottom, and they are all millionaires, they are all in my mind corrupt, i dont believe anyone who lives in the west, in europe, in the eu, in america, in australia, canada, new zealand, uh, none of us live in a democracy, we all live in a geopoly, we have two parties, but we have one state, i wouldnt even say deep state, id say we have a establishment controlled by corporations to by the politicians, so everything is done with the view to the benefit of politicians and corporations are not for the people of the country, american. Politics is like rotten onion, as you pay back each layer, you will find more corruption and you will find more graft, and you will find more dishonestly, the further you go into the heart of the american administration. America needs a revolution, there will be no Third Party Candidate he will break this system, and in your previous report, you you uh showed how many people are actually on strike from nurses to car workers to the people that are involved in some of the propaganda, the raiders for. Hollywood and the filmmakers, i think america is the infrastructure is falling apart, i think the social network is falling apart, i think america and its leader are happy to see devastation at home while send upwards of 150 billion dollars to kill uh russian ukrainians and to kill russians trying to defend those russian ukrainians in the donbas, so the system is rotten to the core, im surprised that the media still focuses. On this as being some kind of political instability in america, which which which it is, but the impact on the people is all that matters and the politicians are nothing for the people for them. All right, and final question, hasan yunis, quickly if you can answer this, regards some of the expenditures and im zooming in on this because obviously is not only astronomical but quite uh shockingly high, for example, were looking at Social Security being one of them, but another one that puts you said a contributing to National Security risk would be the pay that has to go for for example the the military um again why is this not being considered when they are looking and grappling with each other when it comes to shutdown yeah actually i know that the the republicans want to to have cut the budget which is being allocated to fund the ukrainian the ukrainian war actually so this is one of the of the quests the republicans i dont know its only a political rhetoric before the elections, especially that that trumps mindset and the republicans mindset is bit different than those of democrats regarding the russianukrainian war, and the struggle is that the republicans control the house by slim majority while the democrats hold the senate by a single seat and the decision regarding the destination the the destiny of of the federal of the fun. Has to be by jointly both chambers, so heres the controversy and this is major contributor to the struggle to the unhealthy struggle again, and if you if you if you look at the previous debates and the previous elections, the the progressive tax system which redistributes the the wealth is never considered by both parties, actually its always, this always leads to to a big gap between wealthy and the poor and the middle class, the middle class is being highly negatively impacted by by such moves and it has never been on the agenda in the us, so the poor as as my co guest has said are are always impacted by such by such moves. Very well, thank you so much, let me thank his journal other and activist from santiago to compastela, thank you there is and hasan yunis, economic analyst from beiroth, thank you to you both, and with that we come to end for this edition the interview.

Moving now to the chinese city of hongju where the asian games are underway. Of coursjury joins us from the city with the latest on the competitions there. Simon, what do you have for us . Well, of uh today was also another history making day for Iranian National teams in table tennis in uh mens double table tennis news and nima uh once again defeated japan and uh actually they defeated japan at semifinal and secure their bronze medal so this one of history making moments for iran because you know uh japan south korea and china have always been one of the pioneers and better say they had the upper hand in table tennis special. In mens double table tennis, but this time a bronze medal has been brought for iron by both brothers, allam brothers, also another history was made by our shooters at 10 meter pistol shooting in mixed category, and he won again made history and one bronze medal after defeating pakistan, so this was also another Important Development for today which actually injected fresh energy into the iranian camp because uh medals uh actually are very much important and of course al need to um also compete with the rival uh in later stages in case they win they may make way into the final stage so we have to wait but so far bronze medal has been secure for iran in mixed table tennis immense mixed in double table tennis now in basketball three by three also one has defeated india and already make way into quarter final, if you want to talk about another related developer today, in rowing, seper saachi and pemon gavil, they also made way into the final stage, so we have to wait for their competitions in due time at final stage to see what type of metal if any would be brought and one by these athletes and rowers for iran, but generally speaking, if you want to take a look at the Overall Standings of iran at the 19th asian games here in hange, should say that uh already. But having uh uh won 11, bronze, 11, silver and three gold medals, iran currently stands at the 10th place of the overall standing of the 19th asian games, definitely such such a placement or such kind of a uh ranking would change in favor of eran in due time, because we are still waiting for uh outstanding performances to be done by famous iranian athletes in weightly. In also wrestling, both greek, roman and free wrestling, which iran has high hope for winning gold medal, so we have to, and usually these actually disciplines will begin in coming days especially the last week of the asian games, so we have to wait so far, eran has already secured its 10th place, but we have to see what up as these gold winning disciplines will begin anytime soon in the coming.
