I know we'll get to the government shutdown.
But let's get into this story.
The story is about Panama Canal.
Rob, where's the Panama Canal?
There it is.
Panama Court kicks Hong Kong's C.K.
Hutchison out of Canal Ports.

In a unanimous ruling published late on Thursday, the Central American Country Supreme Court said the concession for a unit of C.K.
Hutchinson Holdings
to run the ports at either end of the Panama Canal was unconstitutional.
