The BBC reports: California 'faces budget crisis'.
The governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has declared a fiscal emergency, amid fears the state could run out of cash by early next year.
He has ordered lawmakers to hold a special session to tackle the $11.2bn (£7.5bn) deficit in California, one of the world's biggest economies.
Governor Schwarzenegger on Monday invoked powers allowing him to declare a fiscal emergency as the new state legislature was sworn in.
"Without immediate action, our state is headed for a fiscal disaster," Mr Schwarzenegger said, saying that the current $11.2bn shortfall could swell to "a staggering $28bn" over the next 18 months.
