a warm welcome to the programme. we start in the us, where at midnight eastern time tomorrow the us government will run out of money to fund itself, unless congress can agree a last—minute deal. if the story sounds familiar, well, it is. it would be the 22 time in the last 50 years, that us government services have had to be shut down because of a budget deadlock in congress. the last time — in early 2019 — saw a month of widespread disruption to the world's largest economy. erin delmore reports from new york. the clock is ticking. they will need to agree on a deal to fund the federal government passed september 13. the federal government passed september13. right the federal government passed september 13. right now the senate has bipartisan support for a bill but house republicans have rejected it. hardline conservatives calling for deeper cuts and tying any government funding bill to the ongoing issue of immigration and security at the us southern border. house speaker kevin mccarthy has a handful of held out who said they will oppose any short—term funding bill. several of threatening to oust mccarthy from his post. any shutdown would impact hundreds of thousands of federal workers, many of whom would be out of work without pay and relatedly, americans rely on federal assistance with sea services would stop. nutrition benefit labs, civil trials postponed, museums closed and inspections for hazardous drinking water stop and clinical trials delayed. the us government has shut down at least partially three times in the past decade and credit agencies have taken notice with some downgrading the us credit rating already. well, in the last couple of hours the republican—held house of representatives has passed a series of partisan funding bills, including one for the department of defense which removes funding for ukraine. these have little or no chance of getting past the democrat—held senate. so a shutdown is looking increasingly likely. joe brusuelas is principal and chief economist at rsm us, a management consultancy — he's in austin texas. welcome to the programme. thank you. it is good to be with you. just remind us, what

because economic growth here in britain is lagging behind many of its counterparts around the world. but why? as the country recovers from the triple crisis of the pandemic, soaring energy prices and the spike in the cost of living, it's now facing another more deep—rooted problem. a legacy of chronic underinvestment by both the private and public sectors is taking its toll on productivity. our economics editor faisal islam has been investigating. robots, railways and concrete, it is happening in milton keys, one of the best places in the country to see the challenges and opportunities from

that is not happen in g7 countries. written's very low level of robots like this is just the tip of the iceberg of a low level of business investment in the past several years, amid political and economic uncertainty. they could be a fundamental problem for the economy going forward, it could be an opportunity for catch up but there is also a challenge about public sector investment as well.

the private sector. michael hewson is chief market analyst at cmc markets. why do you think private investment levels in uk have fallen so dramatically? i think there are a number of factors. obviously, political stability is one of them. there is no coherent long—term planning strategy. i think of the transition towards renewable energy and transport upgrading the national grid, the uk has fallen towards bottom of the investment range from the 1990s. we had the channel tunnel, we had canary wharf, we had thejubilee line extension, we had the millennium partnership. at the moment what is happening here now is a bickering about nuclear power and bickering about hsv—2 and we're bickering about hsv—2 and we're bickering about not building enough houses, so i do not think it is hard to see where the problem lies. it lies with the politicians and planning system and ultimately it lies with the fact that no party has a coherent strategy going forward. coherent strategy going

what's really sealed the fate of the dvd is the rise of streaming. so streaming video, recall that the streaming tv era, has basically meant there is no need to have physical ownership back revolt we call it the streaming tv era. has been a shift in the consumer mindset about the need to physically own to the need to health access on demand which is what netflix is about. —— have access. netflix

are paying for monthly video subscriptions so there is still a market for what we call transactional video content but admittedly it is a declining market, a smaller market. looking at the last numbers for the second quarter for netflix�*s dvd rental, it generated $29 million worth in revenue. but contrasts with the $8.2 billion that they generated as a whole in q2 2023. really, this is a niche play and it is likely to get smaller and the one flip side to that, i would not go as far to collect side actually, but the upside is that reports would not go to —— would not go so far to call

supercharging possibilities for scammers and fraudsters. in the united states alone, official figures show a 30% rise in fraud last year. the most common type is so called �*imposterfraud' — people pretending to be someone they're not. one of the most dramatic cases happened earlier this year to arizona mum, jennifer destefano — who received a call which sounded like her 15—year—old daughter, briana. here's what she told a us senate hearing about what happened when she answered the phone. it was briana sobbing and crying, saying mum, and at first i thought nothing of it and i casually asked her what happened and she continued with mum, i messed up, crying and sobbing continually. not thinking twice, i asked again, 0k, thinking twice, i asked again, ok, what happened? suddenly, a man's voice barked at her lay down, put your head back and then i started to panic and my concern escalated as i demanded to know what was going on but nothing could have prepared me for her the response that she gave me next. mum, these bad men have me. help me, help me, she begged and pleaded as the phone was taken from her and a vulgar and threatening man of the call over. listen here, i have your daughter. you call the police, i will pump a full of drugs and have my way with her and drop of drugs and have my way with herand drop in of drugs and have my way with her and drop in mexico and you will never see her again. they wanted $50,000 in cash to be transported to my daughter and if i did not have the money we would both be dead. i was shocked. at that point in time the second mum came back to me and she had located my husband who had found briana resting safely in bed and i called the police to pursue the matter and unfortunately i was met with it was a prank call that it happens often and there is nothing that can be done so i turned to the community and the responses were overwhelming. friends and neighbours come out of the woodwork with their stories, kidnapping phone calls coming from the children's phone, bags of money been driven halfway to mexico, voices of young children nowhere to be found on social media who do not have phones, the stories kept pouring in. you can find out what we can do to protect ourselves from ai—generated fraud this weekend on talking business weekly with aaron heslehurst, here on bbc news. finally, from this sunday, a ban on many single—use plastics comes into force in england, following similar moves already made by the scottish and welsh governments. it means takeaways, restaurants and cafes must stop using single—use plastic cutlery, plates and bowls. england uses about 2.7 billion items of single—use cutlery — mostly plastic — a year, and 721 million single—use plates, according to government estimates. so, what is likely to change and what are the alternatives? stanley mitchell is head of business development at xampla, a materials technology company spun out from the university of cambridge. welcome to the programme. just to explain, you are at eight materials company spinning out from the university of cambridge and i wanted to ask about the ban, how effective do you think it will be? i about the ban,

the signal it sends that certain uses and applications for plastic are just not going to be sustainable and will not be tolerated in the long run. that's something important for the work we do at xampla and the work we do at xampla and the materials we produce cold morro which is specifically designed to replace these highly polluting single—use prospects. to highly polluting single-use

cloud around on thursday and the heavy overnight rain, friday looks to be drier and brighter for many of us, thanks to a ridge of high pressure. some good sunny spells around certainly to start the day but there will be some showers developing, mainly in the north and the west of the uk, and these will be most frequent across the north and west of scotland, closer to this area of low pressure. quite a squeeze in the isobars here, so another windy day to come across scotland with gales here. lighter winds further south. now, there could be that weather front just clearing the far south—east through the morning. it will do so and then, there's plenty of sunshine around. winds more of a feature further north. here's where we'll see most of the showers, some of them heavy and thundery and blustery. gales up to 55 miles an hour northern scotland. further south, one or two showers peppering western coastal areas. otherwise, it's mainly dry. top temperature — 20 degrees in the south—east. not quite as warm or as humid as it has been. a slightly fresher feel to things. then, as we head through friday night with that slightly cooler air mass, clear skies, the winds turning lighter for a while, we'll see some mist and fog develop and it'll also be quite a chilly night to come. single—figure values across the board. could be as low as three or four degrees across rural aberdeenshire. so, as we head into the weekend, then, we've got high pressure to bring some fine and settled weather to start with. this next frontal system, though, will sweep into central, western and northern areas through the day. so, we start chilly, dry, some sunshine, early mist and fog clearing and then, the sunshine will become hazy as this frontal system moves in but most of the rain will be across northern ireland and wales, northern england, pushing into southern scotland. the far north of scotland, southern south east england should stay dry. some sunshine here, albeit hazy at times. 20 degrees. mid teens where we have the wind and the rain. into sunday, it looks like that front clears its way into the north sea and we'll have a bit of a hang back with this weather front across england and wales. so, sunday, probablya bit cloudier for england and wales. some splashes of rain through the morning. it could brighten up, though, into the afternoon and some sunny spells here. further north, brighter. sunshine. one or two couple of showers, especially in the north and west of scotland. here, the mid to high teens but a bit warmer, a bit muggier across the south — up to 23 degrees. it's quite mixed into the new week. it'll start off unsettled. it'll settle down around the middle part of the week. we'll start to see some showers across northern areas by the end of the week but it stays fine and settled in the south. a good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and sarah campbell. our headlines today. broken—hearted — the family of 15—year—old elianne
