'Closed Until Further Notice'
Both tourists and refugees in the US are feeling the impact of the government shutdown.
Parts of the US government closed down this week when Congress failed to pass a new budget. We find out how the closures are affecting both tourists and refugees in the US. We also hear from a long-time American correspondent in East Asia who returns home to find the air cleaner and the crowds smaller than what she had grown accustomed to. Also, America鈥檚 relationship with Brazil takes a turn for the worse. And, how some immigrant actors in the US find that their accents have become assets when pursuing certain roles.
