US Government Shutdown: Talks in Washington to Break Political Deadlock

US President Trump meets Democrats in an attempt to end the partial government shutdown – we speak to an ‘essential’ federal employee who has been working without pay. Also, a 90 year old cyclist has been stripped of his title after testing positive for a banned substance. And, in Japan a restaurant owner has broken the record for the most money paid for an endangered Bluefin Tuna - $3.1 million.
