Headlines: US Government Shuts Down, World Says, "Meh" The world's leading superpower doesn't have a fully operating government but, for the time being, the rest of the planet doesn't seem too alarmed. News of the U.S. shutdown has yet to crack the front pages of many major newspapers around the globe. Iran's two major state-run news agencies, for instance, have barely mentioned it. The same goes for Pakistan's major English-language paper, Dawn, and leading Urdu outlet, Jang. In London, The Times and The Guardian did not feature U.S. shutdown news on front pages Friday. But around the world, the budget stalemate is beginning to generate some negative headlines for the U.S. political system, economy and currency. Here's a look at some of them: GERMANY: Der Spiegel rounds up criticism of the shutdown.
