US Congress Agrees Budget to End Shutdown

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

US senators agree on a temporary budget that will end the three-day Government shutdown, which has seen the closure of parks, museums and federal offices. We hear about the economic effects from analysts S&P Global in New York. We discuss Netflix's latest financial results, and hear how sarcasm can come in handy in the classroom - can it in the workplace as well? Roger Hearing is joined throughout the programme by Ralph Silva of the Silva Research Network in Toronto and Jyoti Malhotra from the Indian Express in Delhi.
