US Government shutdown close to becoming the longest in history
The US government shutdown appears on course to be the longest in history after President Trump made clear he has no plans to negotiate with Democrats over healthcare costs. Leanna Byrne hears from a worker and a food bank in New York.
Also, Kimberly-Clark, the company behind Huggies and Kleenex, is buying the maker of Tylenol and Kenvue, in a forty-nine billion dollar deal.
Almost ten years after launching its ambitious Vision 2030 plan to diversify away from oil, Saudi Arabia is pouring billions into artificial intelligence and high-tech infrastructure.
