BBC World Service - Business Matters, US Shutdown Leaves 800,000 Workers Without Pay

Thousands of federal workers miss their January pay as the budget is still unagreed.

Thousands of federal workers are without their January pay as the federal budget is still unagreed. We hear from Trish Gilbert, the head of the National Air Traffic Controllers' Association, how her colleagues are being affected. Chinese telecommunications company Huawei is once again under scrutiny as an employee is arrested in Poland on suspicion of spying. And as Washington considers banning Chinese telecoms equipment, we hear what implications this could have for rural America. And will a new standard for wetwipes mean the end for fatbergs? Susannah Streeter is joined throughout the programme by Clive Hunton from ABC NewsRadio in Canberra.
