BBC World Service - World Business Report, The deadline for the US shutdown getting closer

Unless there is a deal in Congress - the US government will shutdown

The US government will shut down at 12:01 a.m. ET Sunday if Congress doesn't act.

The US inched closer to a government shutdown as the prospects of a successful short-term funding deal grow bleaker. Congress faces a deadline of midnight on Saturday to pass a new budget before thousands of federal employees are placed on unpaid leave.
