:00:19. > :00:25.Washington's political stalemate is broken. The eyes are 74 and the

:00:28. > :00:31.the Senate approves a last-minute bill to rescue America's finances.
:00:31. > :00:34.This is however just the first step. This compromise requires that both
:00:34. > :00:37.parties work together on a larger plan to cut the deficit, which is
:00:37. > :00:40.important for the long term health of our economy.

:01:04. > :01:07.British man walks from hospital The United States Senate has voted
:01:07. > :01:12.in favour of a last-minute bill that raises the limit on national
:01:12. > :01:14.borrowing, averting a possible debt default. On Monday, the measure was
:01:14. > :01:19.passed by the House of Representatives after a hard-fought
:01:19. > :01:23.compromise that split both the Democratic and Republican parties.

:01:31. > :01:37.From Washington, Steve Kingstone reports.
:01:37. > :01:44.It has been a ferocious fight. Nerves frayed, reputation scored on
:01:44. > :01:49.both sides. Finally, it is over. The agreement was sealed by a boat
:01:49. > :01:54.in the Senate. Who got the better deal? Listen to the difference
:01:54. > :01:58.between gleeful Republicans and wrote reluctant democrat. This is a
:01:58. > :02:07.welcome change in behaviour and I gladly supported. Make no mistake,
:02:07. > :02:13.this is a change in behaviour from spend, spend, spend to cut, cut,
:02:13. > :02:18.cut. Almost everything else about this deal stinks and it stinks to
:02:18. > :02:23.high heaven. It has come to this because America is deep in the red.
:02:23. > :02:29.For every dollar that the Government spends, 40 is borrowed
:02:29. > :02:34.money. Congress it's a seal on its spending of 14.3 trillion dollars.
:02:34. > :02:39.This deal raises it by 2.4 trillion in return for spending cuts of at
:02:39. > :02:43.least 2.1 trillion dollars. The White House admits that at times
:02:43. > :02:48.this debate has resembled a circus. They know that the American public
:02:48. > :02:53.are deeply unimpressed with the politicians. The question is, what
:02:53. > :02:58.does it mean for the President's re-election prospects next year.
:02:58. > :03:02.good news for the President is that he has got out of this particular
:03:02. > :03:06.crisis before the debt ceiling happened. The bad news is that he
:03:06. > :03:11.was completely outplayed by the Republicans, but not get anything
:03:11. > :03:16.that he wanted. He has spent two months spending that -- signalling
:03:16. > :03:20.that he does not have his hands around the political mass. That is
:03:20. > :03:25.not good news with an election coming in 18 months. Markets
:03:25. > :03:31.initially welcomed the deal. But they remain deep concerns about the
:03:32. > :03:36.US economy. Threat of a default has damaged brand America. It was
:03:36. > :03:39.damaged by the spectacle that they had seen in Washington of a
:03:39. > :03:46.significant number of elected officials of this country
:03:46. > :03:52.threatening default. It damaged the confidence. Amid all the bitterness,
:03:52. > :03:55.Washington has produced one heart- warming sight. Congresswoman

:04:12. > :04:17.in head by a gunman. The moment of unity will quickly pass. --
:04:17. > :04:19.Gabrielle Gifford. Now that the compromise deal has
:04:19. > :04:23.been reached between the Democrats and Republicans, President Obama
:04:23. > :04:26.will sign the bill into law at any moment. This is what he had to say
:04:26. > :04:29.a short time ago. We have seen that Washington has the ability to focus
:04:29. > :04:32.when there is a timer ticking down and a looming disaster. It should
:04:32. > :04:35.not take the risk of default, the risk of economic catastrophe, to
:04:35. > :04:40.get Faulks in this town to work together and do their jobs. Because
:04:40. > :04:47.there is already a quite crisis going on in the light of a lot of
:04:47. > :04:50.families and a lot of communities. While much of the attention has
:04:50. > :05:00.focussed on who won the political battle, questions remain over what
:05:00. > :05:00.
:05:00. > :05:03.the economic impact will be. The political agreement has removed
:05:03. > :05:06.the immediate risk of the United States defaulting on its debts by
:05:07. > :05:09.allowing it to borrow more money to pay its bills. But will the default
:05:09. > :05:11.issue rear it's head again in the future? The political stalemate has
:05:11. > :05:14.unsettled financial markets and endangered Washington's coveted
:05:14. > :05:18.triple-A credit status. The Fitch Credit Agency today said it was not
:05:18. > :05:21.going to cut that rating but, if any of the other agencies do, it
:05:21. > :05:24.could make it harder for the US to borrow money on international
:05:25. > :05:28.markets. And the cuts the deal put in place over the next 10 years has
:05:28. > :05:30.ignited a debate in the US over whether it will affect growth in
:05:30. > :05:33.the economy. Joining me now from New York is
:05:33. > :05:36.economics expert and author Daniel Altman, from the Stern School of
:05:36. > :05:46.Business at New York University. And with me in the studio is David
:05:46. > :05:56.Buik, a financial analyst with BGC Partners. Daniel, is this a
:05:56. > :06:03.sensible package? I did not think so. It was not necessary to do this
:06:03. > :06:08.out. The Republicans drew a line in the sand which was not necessary.
:06:08. > :06:11.There was no reason to go around making these cuts. It is more
:06:11. > :06:15.important to secure the long-term security of this country by
:06:15. > :06:23.balancing the budget further into the future, making him -- tax
:06:23. > :06:29.increases as well as spending cuts. It feels about, nonetheless, as if
:06:29. > :06:33.President Obama is the loser. think he probably had a better
:06:33. > :06:38.endgame if he waited to see what would happen in Congress and step
:06:38. > :06:43.in at the last minute to use his congressional authority to pay the
:06:44. > :06:48.nation's debt. That would make him look more decisive. What he has
:06:48. > :06:55.done is help Congress share some of the credit for this, when in actual
:06:55. > :07:01.fact the deserve the blame. Some cuts there. Are the enough?
:07:01. > :07:05.respect Daniel it enormously as an economist. -- I respect Daniel as
:07:05. > :07:13.an economist. President Obama or inherited a shocker from President
:07:13. > :07:19.Bush. I defy anybody to say that anybody else could have done Abed a
:07:19. > :07:22.good job with it. There comes a time when the kissing has to stop.
:07:22. > :07:29.I thought that the political posturing and the brinkmanship on
:07:29. > :07:34.both parties was a disgrace. Regardless of who what -- who let
:07:34. > :07:44.what to whom, let us look at the economics. 2.4 trillion dollars of
:07:44. > :07:46.
:07:46. > :07:52.public spending cuts. That is showing willing. I would like to
:07:52. > :07:57.have seen much more of a long-term plan. There is an election next
:07:57. > :08:02.year, but not withstanding that, you have the duty of care, and I
:08:02. > :08:06.thought at all that they had done was paper -- call that the dead was
:08:06. > :08:12.paper over the cracks. You and I know what that that is not going to
:08:12. > :08:16.work. Papering over the cracks need a much longer term deal. Absolutely.
:08:16. > :08:22.I agree that the situation into there is no date was shocking. If
:08:22. > :08:29.anything, the credit rating should have gone down then because there
:08:29. > :08:33.but absolute credit worthiness not relative credit worthiness. We need
:08:33. > :08:38.a long-term planning, not just in her taxes are but also an hour
:08:38. > :08:44.spending. We need to invest more in infrastructure, scientific research,
:08:44. > :08:54.education, the things that at -- actually enhance there economic
:08:54. > :08:54.
:08:54. > :09:00.potential. A lot of Americans are feeding cuts. -- afraid of cuts.
:09:00. > :09:04.What is the deal for everybody outside America? The fact remains
:09:04. > :09:11.that the whole tax system and the Interstate system in the United
:09:11. > :09:15.States is ridiculous. All American money goes abroad. They have 9.2%
:09:15. > :09:19.unemployment in the United States. They have to attract that money
:09:19. > :09:24.back from overseas, where it is earning lots of profits for various
:09:24. > :09:29.people. It is not going back into the economy. Unemployment will
:09:29. > :09:39.never stop. I want to see some kind of tax to encourage, together with
:09:39. > :09:43.slightly higher interest rates, that over a period of time.
:09:43. > :09:51.increases are verbal Tom from a Republican point of view. There are
:09:51. > :09:59.two sides to it. We're losing the economic mobility, the ability of
:09:59. > :10:03.people to move from lower socio- economic classes to higher ones. On
:10:03. > :10:07.the second point, I would say that we need to be careful. Foreigners
:10:07. > :10:11.have been happy to lend this country money enlargement at low
:10:11. > :10:20.interest rates, even through this crisis. We did not have to draw
:10:20. > :10:24.this line in the sand now. Thank you for joining us. Very quickly,
:10:24. > :10:29.her much do you think has to be done by the Government now it to
:10:29. > :10:33.get some sense that we're seeing that it come down. Now that the
:10:33. > :10:38.political posturing is finished, it is very important that President
:10:38. > :10:44.Obama grabs back the initiative, because he has lost it. The hat to
:10:44. > :10:49.produce a plan that is feasible and plausible going forward. It has to
:10:49. > :10:57.have some serious cuts in public expenditure as well as increasing
:10:57. > :11:03.the debt ceiling. That has to be done in conjunction.
:11:03. > :11:06.The crackdown in Syria goes on. In the central city of Hama, one of
:11:06. > :11:10.the symbolic homes of the anti- regime protests, the tanks which
:11:10. > :11:13.have killed up to 140 people in the past two days remain in place as
:11:13. > :11:17.the residents flee. It has become a familiar pattern in a country where
:11:17. > :11:19.demonstrations have so often been crushed by military action. The

:13:36. > :13:36.

:14:10. > :14:13.now from Rome is spokesperson for the Italian Foreign Ministry,
:14:13. > :14:20.Maurizio Massari. What effect is the removal of your ambassador
:14:20. > :14:24.going to have? It was meant to be a strong political gesture from the
:14:24. > :14:32.Italian government as a response to the repression of the so billion --

:14:35. > :14:41.The message seems to be that they are not particularly interested in
:14:41. > :14:46.doing that. That is true, but we'll see in the next few days. At the
:14:46. > :14:50.same time, we do hope that the political pressure, particularly
:14:50. > :14:58.from the UN Security Council, will increase, as we stress that this is

:15:16. > :15:26.whether you'll end up with a resolution or a statement. It is
:15:26. > :15:30.not cutting a lot of mustard, is For this is an incremental process,
:15:30. > :15:37.we have seen in the last few days the position of Russia shifting, in
:15:37. > :15:45.the sense of being much more open, calling for an end to the civilian
:15:45. > :15:49.repression. Turkey is also -- turkey also spoke out about it. So
:15:49. > :15:54.it is a consensus building, a diplomatic activity which is not

:23:07. > :23:12.humiliated. On Monday afternoon, the army and police moved in again
:23:12. > :23:16.to clear protesters from Tahrir Square. They must know that the
:23:16. > :23:20.demonstrators will almost certainly be back in large numbers if Hosni
:23:20. > :23:24.Mubarak fails to appear in court tomorrow. So the police and the
:23:25. > :23:28.army are back here in force. Egypt is still very tense and very
:23:28. > :23:32.divided. How this trial is handled could be very important as to
:23:32. > :23:36.whether there will be future conflict ahead.
:23:36. > :23:39.In a major medical breakthrough, a 40-year-old father who was
:23:39. > :23:43.critically ill has become the first person to leave hospital with a
:23:43. > :23:49.plastic heart. Matthew Green has been given an artificial implants
:23:49. > :23:55.to keep him alive as he waits for a suitable donor. The operation was
:23:55. > :23:59.carried out at Papworth Hospital. David Shukman reports. Meet the
:23:59. > :24:05.first man in Britain walking with a plastic heart. Matthew Green, with
:24:05. > :24:12.his wife and some, and a bag that has become a new and essential
:24:12. > :24:16.member of the family. The device that is keeping Matthew alive. Tell
:24:16. > :24:21.me a little bit about how it is extraordinary device will change
:24:21. > :24:26.your life. It will revolutionise my life. Before, I could not walk
:24:26. > :24:33.anywhere, I could hardly climb the stairs. I went out for a pub lunch
:24:34. > :24:39.over the weekend, and that is the alarm, it just shows that you
:24:39. > :24:44.pressure is a bit high. This is the kind of plastic heart, with four
:24:44. > :24:48.valves and two pumping chambers, fitted inside Matthew's chest. The
:24:48. > :24:53.blood flows through these dudes under his skin, and I've just below
:24:53. > :24:57.the ribcage. Normally, this would have to be driven by a huge bomb in
:24:57. > :25:01.hospital. What is new is that Matthew has been given one of these,
:25:01. > :25:08.a portable pump. It is not light, seven kilos, but it does mean he
:25:08. > :25:12.can get out and about. This animation shows a plastic heart
:25:12. > :25:18.beating in slow motion, doing the job of a real one. But it is not
:25:18. > :25:22.meant to be permanent. The surgeon who fitted a hard at Papworth
:25:22. > :25:27.Hospital says the aim is to buy time for Matthew while he waits for
:25:27. > :25:33.a human heart to be transplanted. The longest a patient has received
:25:33. > :25:37.and been supported by one of these machines is three years. So it does
:25:37. > :25:45.provide medium to long-term support. And this is very important, because
:25:45. > :25:48.it buys us more time. To find a suitable heart. The latest figures
:25:48. > :25:54.show that 132 people in Britain are hoping for a heart transplant. But
:25:54. > :25:58.on average, they wait six months, and while they do, 15 % of them
:25:58. > :26:02.died. So the option of fitting an artificial heart may be critical.
:26:02. > :26:06.But there are risks. They are almost certainly safer than a hard
:26:07. > :26:11.they are replacing, but they have problems. There are risks of blood
:26:11. > :26:15.clots and infection. But we know how to reduce those risks.
:26:15. > :26:24.Matthew Green and his family, the little bag carrying his new heart
:26:24. > :26:30.offers a new lease of life. His big hope is to go for a bike ride.
:26:30. > :26:33.A reminder of our top story: The US Senate has voted in favour of a
:26:33. > :26:37.last minute bill that raises the limit on national borrowing, and
:26:37. > :26:42.averts a possible debt default. The vote came hours before a deadline
:26:42. > :26:46.to reach agreement. Officials say a default would have severely damaged
:26:46. > :26:56.the global economy. That is all from the programme, Next, the
:26:56. > :27:01.
:27:01. > :27:05.from the programme, Next, the Tomorrow is the last very warm and
:27:05. > :27:09.humid day before big changes arrive in our weather, from Thursday
:27:09. > :27:13.onwards. But if you are a fan of the warmth, and if you can put up
:27:13. > :27:18.with the humidity, it is a day to take advantage of it. Although this
:27:18. > :27:21.weather front will deliver some showers in the afternoon, it is the
:27:21. > :27:28.developing system by to the West that will turn things wetter on
:27:28. > :27:33.Thursday and cooler from Friday. In Wednesday, showers to will develop
:27:33. > :27:36.across the Midlands, some will be heavy and thundery but they are hit
:27:36. > :27:41.and miss. Outside of these, there will be sunny spells and it will
:27:41. > :27:45.feel warm and humid. Perhaps even 30 degrees in the South East.
:27:45. > :27:52.Further west, it is brighter for the time, although in the Far West,
:27:52. > :27:55.Cornwall, Pembrokeshire, cloud will increase through the afternoon. And
:27:55. > :28:00.rain will move in, the first signs are that Atlantic weather system I

:28:08. > :28:13.in the day. And a different day to come across Scotland, drier and
