[0:01] The news of the day, a world view from
[0:04] CNN.
[0:06] >> I'm Bernard Shaw in Atlanta. Packing up,
[0:09] heading home. The US budget stalemate
[0:11] forces hundreds of thousands of federal
[0:13] workers to take some time off.
[0:16] >> I'm Hillary Baler in London. War games
[0:18] in Egypt send a not so subtle message to
[0:21] Iraq's Saddam Hussein. And the shuttle
[0:24] Atlantis moves in for a tricky coupling
[0:26] with the space station Mir.
[0:28] A budget deadlock in Washington has
[0:31] forced much of the United States
[0:32] government to shut down. Hundreds of
[0:34] thousands of government workers across
[0:36] the country reported to work Tuesday
[0:38] only to be sent home. How did a budget
[0:41] dispute grow into a budget crisis? And
[0:43] what impact, if any, will the shutdown
[0:45] have overseas? CNN's Cla Shipman
[0:48] reports.
[0:50] >> In Washington, it seems a standoff of
[0:52] epic proportion. Federal workers sent
[0:54] home because the government has
[0:55] technically run out of money. The
[0:57] country's leaders holding meetings late
[0:59] into the night, each side claiming a
[1:01] moral high ground.
[1:02] >> What we have said is that we cannot
[1:05] continue to do business as usual with
[1:07] Washington borrowing money from our
[1:08] children and grandchildren.
[1:09] >> But how is all this playing beyond
[1:11] America's borders?
[1:12] >> It's been very difficult indeed to
[1:14] explain the budget crisis to a British
[1:16] audience. Not least because the language
[1:18] of continuing resolution and debt
[1:20] sealing is not language we understand in
[1:22] Britain. And because people can't
[1:24] believe that this, the richest and
[1:26] mightiest country in the world, might
[1:27] run out of money and shut down it
