US Government Shutdown: 'The Sky Isn't Falling'
US TV host Steve Gruber explains support for US government shutdown.
US President Donald Trump has said he could declare a national emergency to build a US-Mexico border wall without the approval of Congress. The stand-off has seen Mr Trump withhold support for a bill to fully fund the government until he gets money for the border wall. US TV host Steve Gruber explains why he supports the US government shutdown.
Also in the programme: Egypt appears to have failed in its attempts to block the broadcast of an interview by American television network CBS with the Egyptian President; and, South Korea's problem with gaming addiction.
