today announced a new ethics code after a series of Revelations about unreported travel and gifts for some of the justices senior legal correspondent La Jared joins me now and Laura this is a first for this court it is Lester and after months of pressure the justices for the first time now say they are bound by a formal code of conduct a 14-page document outlining what activities to avoid when they may need to recuse and reaffirming the existing rules around gifts that's something that's attracted more scrutiny in recent months with reports of luxury travel Justice Thomas accepted for years something he said he thought he didn't need to report at the time but even now with this new code the big question tonight is left unanswered how are these rules going to be enforced what happens if a Justice breaks the code that's why some critics say the real legislative reform is still needed here Lester all right Laura thank you and once again there is a race to avoid a potential partial government shutdown Ryan Nobles is at the capital and Ryan the deadline is approaching quickly yeah that's right Lester and it means that the Congress is running out of time to come up with a budget

time in a year this week and as Janice Macky freyer reports the economic Stakes couldn't be higher with youth unemployment high in China Lind Yi is choosing the best work he can find these days at

helping out the family's Factory until he can find a job this how sounds I'm glad I have stability he says for now it's not bad Shoring up China's economic ties is why Chinese president XI Jin ping is paying his first visit to the US in 6 years China needs it the economy slowing down and hurting foreign investment in China turning negative for the first time with 11.8 billion flowing out a property crisis pushing local government debt to $9 trillion and when the youth unemployment rate hit 21.3% in June the government stopped releasing numbers altogether and the business focus and the wiing cooporation to me is like low highing food you know by end of day both Nation we need to cooperate we need to do the business the US is China's number one trading partner to the tune of $758 billion but there is also tension and mistrust about managing China's rivalry with the US that has deepened under she's rule from China's close ties with Vladimir Putin to confrontations over tariffs the Spy balloon crisis the South China Sea and Taiwan I think we've made some progress in reconnecting the two governments and establishing these leadership channels which we didn't have frankly a year ago
