1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Rick mccanzo, US correspondent. Let's rock into the show. Ryan,

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: good morning, How are you very well? Thank you. How's

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: that shutdown going?

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, twelve hours into the shutdown here in the United

5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: States and no sign of Democrats and Republicans coming together. Essentially,

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 2: the shutdown is when the government has to pass a

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: spending bill in terms of decigning what they're going to

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: spend their money on for the next four to twelve months,

9
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: and they haven't been able to come to agreement. That's

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 2: because they need sixty They need sixty votes in the

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: Senate for this to happen, but it hasn't been agreed upon.

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: And the reason that they can't agree to something here

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 2: is because Democrats are arguing before they sign on to

14
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: a spending bill, they need guarantees around tax credits so

15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: more Americans can afford healthcare, but Republicans saying that's something

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: that needs to be debated later in the year, and

17
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: they're really going on the attack blaming the Democrats for this.

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: But at this stage, the prediction markets, Ryan expect this

19
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: to go on for about eleven to twelve days. So

20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: in the meantime, park rangers aren't being paid TSA airports

21
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: aren't being paid, but they are expected to turn up

22
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: to work for free.

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: And there are, as you say, some who have to

24
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: work who are essential and don't get paid. Others don't

25
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: get paid but don't have to go to work. The

26
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: last one I think under Trump was thirty four days long,

27
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: so this looks like it'd be a bit shorter, which

28
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: is a good thing. Hey, what's going on with this

29
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: New York high rise collapse? Yeah?

30
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: This is bizarre. This is a twenty story public housing

31
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: building that's in the Bronx here in New York, and

32
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: it partially collapsed this morning as if half the building

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: has fallen off. It turned out it was related to

34
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: a chimney explosion. Inside this building, three four hundred people live,

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: so you can imagine how big it is. And according

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: to reports, not one person has been injured in this

37
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: building partially collapsing. Miraculous, but you can bet there's going

38
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: to be a long into investigation into what exactly happened here.

39
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: Mtch appreciate your time. Mitch McCann, our US correspondent.
