Thousands of unpaid government workers and their families are starting to feel the pinch

Thousands of unpaid government workers and their families are starting to feel the pinch.

Thousands of unpaid US government workers and their families are turning to food banks as the shutdown enters its second month. We hear from Kate Maehr from the Greater Chicago Food Depository. In Davos, heads of big business hear about the importance of tackling plastic waste. Also in the programme, as Zimbabwe's economic crisis deepens, we hear from the country's finance minister Mthuli Ncube. And we have a report from Pakistan on growing economic ties with China.
