We count the cost of the US government shutdown: around $3bn, according to the Congressional Budget Office 鈥 but what happens if there鈥檚 a repeat a month later? Also, actor and director Sarah Ann Masse tells us how to promote, recognise and reward more women in film-making, after Hollywood is accused of being in the 鈥渄ark ages鈥 by campaigners. India's interim budget meanwhile seems to be full of goodies for citizens 鈥 but is it only designed to quickly stump up votes in the run up the upcoming election? Finally, we speak to the author of 鈥楤usiness is Personal鈥, Penny Power, who says almost nothing can inoculate you against a 鈥榖roken moment鈥 in the building of an empire. We discuss all this live with Clive Hunton of ABC in Canberra.
