Hr when the deal was unveiled, the stock jumped to 72 a share, and2 that 90,000 investment madevestment from a swissbased account soared in value to more than 1. 8 million.

T pelley anthony, thanks very much. It was a negative day on wall street today. The dow lost 108 points to finish back below 14,000. But the entire economy is headed for trouble in just eight days when massive acrosstheboard cuts in the federal budget are scheduled to kick in automatically. Au these cuts were designed to be so deep and harmful that theyrmfu would force the president and congress to find a better way. But they havent. Just for example, there would be 46 billion cut from the defense department, and benefit cuts for 4. 7 million longterm unemployed. We have two reports tonight. First, those defense cuts with david martin. Reporter of the 800,000 civilians who work for the work for department of defense, an estimated 700,000 would bema furloughed for one day a week. Or according to the pentagonsrd chief budget officer robert hale, that would save between 4en billion and 5 billion, but itll would all come out of peoples paychecks. Any if we feel we dont have any choice but to impose furloughs even though we would much prefer not to do it. Of frankly, this is within of the least or the most distasteful tasks i have faced in my four years in this job. Reporter department of defense civilians run training ranges where navy pilots practice strafing runs. They manage the flow of supplies to troops in afghanistan o overhaul army tanks and providen, medical care for everybody fromre for e Wounded Warriors to retirees. To laying them off for one day a laying week would not cripple national defense, but it would, said jessica wright, the pentagonst head of personnel, be an economic catastrophe for their families. If furloughs are enacted, civilians will experience a 20 decrease in their pay between late april and september. Reporter even then, the pentagon would still have to t find another 41 billion in savings during the last seven months of the fiscal year. Of t internal pentagon documents show the army would have to stop bringing in equipment for overhaul at its maintenance depots, much of it badly in needer of repair after a decade of war. N the navy would shut down four of its nine carrier airwings. Once shut down, it would take the airwings nine to 12 monthsga to regain their full fightingcape capability. And thats just for the rest of this fiscal year. If the budget crisis is not resolved, a new round of furloughs and cuts would begin with the start of the next fiscal year on october 1. Pelley david, thank you. And like we said, its not just the defense budget. Every federal agency is facing a the knife, and we asked chip w reid to fill us in on that. Reporter the f. B. I. Says the budget cuts would require all employees, including special agents, to be furloughed for up to 14 days. Jan fedarcyk is the former head of the f. B. I. s new york field office. What do you think the top top managers at the f. B. I. Are most worried about . Ut im sure they are mostre m worried about, what does thisoe mean within the National Security arena . Thats probably at the top of the list, the discussion about di maintaining our counterterrorism operations. Nt reporter most of the cuts would not take effect immediately on march 1. They would be phased in slowly over several months, and they could be avoided if congress andnd the the president can agree to a deal. But if they cant, the cuts will be painful. Thousands of security screenersity at the nations airports would be furloughed. Wait times at the busiestwa airports could increase by up to an hour. Hour. 70,000 children would be dropped from head start. Rt. 600,000 women and Young Children would be cut from a major nutrition program. Millions of the nations long term unemployed would lose an average of 400 in benefits. Uld los on the health front, the f. D. A. Says furloughs would result in f. D. A. 2,100 fewer inspections of food plants, increasing the risk of foodborne illness. And medical research could be cut by 1. 6 billion, slowing progress in the fight against disease, including cancer and alzheimers. Medicare, medicaid and social m security would be largelyel spared, scott, and critics of this whole process say that is a fundamental flaw because those becau entitlement programs are a major driver of the national debt. Pelley just over a week away. Chip, thanks very much. The bail hearing for olympic runner Oscar Pistorius took a sharp turn today when his a lawyers tore into the prosecutions case.
