bill, kevin mccarthy said it is not over yet. earlier, i sopke to republican congressman ken buck, who voted against republican speaker of the house kevin mccarthy's temporary spending bill this afternoon. house republicans just held a conference. what came out of that? well, there's a few different possibilities. the one that is most likely to happen is we will start working tomorrow passing appropriations bills with regular order, and then make sure the next pay paycheque that is due is made. but in the meantime, we will be in work, we will pass bills, we will send those to the senate, and we will keep the government open funded bill by bill by bill. what will keep the government open funded bill by bill by bill.— bill by bill by bill. what does that mean, bill by bill by bill. what

legislation. democrats and republicans voted against that idea. i think we'll move forward together and make sure that we pass a good funding bill at a very responsible spending level. many of that

i think is �*s keep speaker mccarthy will be in a stronger position. for the latest, i also spoke to robert costa, chief election and campaign correspondent at cbs news. bob, great to have you back in the studio today. let's start with the impending government shutdown. from your reporting, is there any viable path among republicans in the house of representatives right now to avert a shutdown? at this point, there is a viable path. based on my conversations with some house republicans today about getting the government funded for a short period, maybe three orfour days, maybe a week, maybe two weeks — that would be what's called a short—term, clean, continuing resolution. some kind of stopgap bill to keep the government running as negotiations are ongoing and negotiations are ongoing. house speaker kevin mccarthy is struggling to get his republican members to come around to a consensus. there's a real debate among republicans about how to handle immigration with any kind of government funding bill, how far to go. so far, mccarthy has really been toiling in terms of getting members of the so called house freedom caucus, the hard—line conservatives, to come along. what does this mean for kevin mccarthy? because 21 republican members voted against his continuing resolution bill. what does that mean for his future? mccarthy is someone who has been through a lot politically. in 2015, he almost became speaker of the house, then ducked out of the process. we all know it took many votes for him to win the gavel after the 2022 midterm elections. he really had a tough time becoming speaker of the house. so he's always had this narrow majority and finding a way to get to... yes, for many members of the house, gop is tough because they're in conservative districts and going along with something that funds the government when their constituents want them to cut money from the government. it's just it's a hard ask for mccarthy to make. so he's trying to come up with a plan that goes far enough to the right on issues like immigration, on cutting spending that can pass the house with a narrow republican majority, but not alienate the senate, where democrats have the upper hand in the majority because he knows ultimately for the government to be funded, it has to also pass the senate and land on the president's desk. i want to move on to the former president. you've been covering him this week. before we get to what you covered this week, i want to ask you about the case in georgia and the indictment in georgia that he's facing, because one of the co—defendants in that case, scott hall, became the first defendant to take a plea deal there. what does that mean for the former president and for this case? it means that there's a lot of pressure on the defendants to potentially take a plea deal. when you look at the georgia case, in particular, facing former president trump and many of his allies who work to overturn the election in 2020 and early 2021. they're being prosecuted under what's called rico—style prosecution in georgia, which is a sprawling way of indicting many people at the same time, throwing out a big net as a prosecutor and trying to catch them all as part of a conspiracy. and some people, as they look at their own lives, their own finances, they might not want to go through a complicated, lengthy, expensive trial. and for people who have already watched on the federal level, people really struggle in federal court when it comes to conspiracy charges, go to jail. taking a plea deal after watching all of that for some of them might seem like a better path forward. so, it could have consequences possibly for the former president. you were covering him in michigan this week where he was speaking to non—union autoworkers, we should say. at the same time, we saw republican candidates for the presidency holding their own debate in california. has anything shifted the former president's large lead in the polling over the other candidates? it was a surreal week politically because i was in michigan covering president biden and his visit to the picket line to meet with the union members, the united auto workers, as they continue their strike. then i covered former president trump making his pitch at a nonunion facility in michigan just down the road from where the president was. and that was a microcosm of what could be happening next year in the general election — biden versus trump battling for the working voter in places in the industrial midwest. out in california was this debate for the republicans. trump skipped it, but people are trying to get traction in that race. florida governor ron desantis, nikki haley, the former un ambassador, among many others on that stage, still believe they have a shot at the nomination. but the clock is ticking, and because the debate was pretty messy, there was a lot of crosstalk. no—one really emerged as a break—out star. trump and his campaign, they're feeling very confident about their standing. well, you broke some reporting earlier this week about the fact that some republican donors are really worried about the former president moving his way forward to the nomination. and they have been throwing around the name of the virginia governor, glenn youngkin, asking him to run. why do they why are they turning to him and what chances does he have? they see youngkin as someone who could maybe win over trump voters while also winning over traditional republican voters. he did that in virginia in 2021 when he won that gubernatorial victory. pay attention to november 7th. that's when virginia will be holding its off—year legislative elections. youngkin is the face of the republican campaign in the state in the coming weeks. he's trying to have republicans win full control of the state general assembly. if youngkin has a big night on november 7th of this year, some donors, some of the biggest ones in the party, billionaires and multimillionaires, believe he could use that virginia victory race and say, "i just won in a state won by president biden in 2020 "and i could do the same for other biden states, "for the republican party nationally in 2024." the challenge for youngkin, even though many republicans find him appealing, is that the deadlines for so many states that have primaries in march and april. those deadlines are in december. so if youngkin wants to get in and get on the ballot, he would likely need to do it by mid—november at the latest. really interesting. bob, thank you for sharing your reporting with us today. thank you. one of the 18 co—defendants in former president donald trump's georgia election interference case pled guilty to multiple criminal charges on friday. scott hall, a bail bondsman, pled guilty to five misdemeanour counts as part of a negotiated deal. he will serve five years of probation, pay $5,000 and do 200 hours of community service. hall was originally charged with seven counts in the case for allegedly interfering with the 2020 presidential election results in georgia. the other co—defendents in the case have pled not—guilty. officials in the us state of nevada have charged a former gang leader in the murder of tupac shakur. the rap icon was gunned down in a drive—by shooting in las vegas in 1996. barbara plett usher has the details. tupac shakur is still one of the bestselling and most influential rappers of all time. he took off after the release of his debut album in 1991. just five years later he was gunned down, his career cut short. just five years, later he was gunned down, his career cut short — shot on the las vegas strip while waiting at a red light. hit by bullets fired from a passing cadillac, he died six days later. now, after 27 years, police have finally arrested a suspect. 27 years... 27 years. for 27 years, the family of tupac shakur have been waiting for justice. we are here today to announce the arrest of 60—year—old duane keith davis, aka keefe d, for the murder of tupac shakur. keefe d was the leader of a gang that was feuding with tupac�*s record label, death row records. police said the whole thing started with this fight at a las vegas hotel. tupac and record executive suge knight punched and kicked a rival gang member. keefe d is accused of then hatching a plan to retaliate. put your hands up. fast forward to july this year, police raided keefe d's home sera, put your phone down. sir, put your phone down. fast forward to july this year, police raided keefe d's home in a los angeles suburb. he's the man on the right. the case had been revived in recent years using his own words about the incident published in a memoir. tupac�*s musical legacy was honoured at the hollywood walk of fame earlier this year. the questions surrounding his death have also gripped his fans. they may soon get their answers. barbara plett usher, bbc news, washington. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. police in pakistan say that more than 50 people have been killed and dozens injured in a suicide attack. the blast happened near a mosque in the south—western baluchistan province on friday as people gathered to celebrate the birth of the prophet muhammad. officials in baluchistan have declared a state of emergency. no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. us auto workers are expanding a strike at some of the nation's largest car companies. uaw boss shawn fain said 7,000 more staff at ford and general motors factories are set to walk off the job. roughly 18,000 workers had already been striking over pay and benefits. the expansion brings the strike into its third week. a major medical trial has found that men being treated for prostate cancer could safely be given far less radiotherapy. doses can be cut by three—quarters, meaning five higher doses is enough, instead of the 20 or so given now. the international trial involved nearly 900 men with medium—risk prostate cancer. the lead researcher said it was fantastic news for patients. you're live with bbc news. let's return now to us politics, and we were speaking earlier about the impending us government to shut down this coming weekend. we also have news that the longest serving female senator in us history, dianne feinstein, has passed away. she died overnight at the age of 90 after casting her last vote in congress on thursday. her passing comes after months of alleged memory and health issues. my colleague caitriona perry spoke about her legacy and the shutdown with senator chris coons of delaware. thanks forjoining us, and our condolences to you on the loss of your friend and colleagues. condolences to you on the loss of yourfriend and colleagues. we appreciate

senator was coming to new york and would i mind driving out to the airport picking her up and bring her into the city? i was told do not expect the city? i was told do not expect the senator to speak to you. she has important work to do. i was happy to pick her up at the airport. i did, and she insisted on sitting in the front seat, chatting the entire way, and was warm and engaging. very exciting and very thoughtful about the conditions of people in new york city and in the city where she had beenin city and in the city where she had been in san francisco. he had a real impact because i was able to ask her some questions about what it was like to become mayor under such difficult circumstances. her predecessor was assassinated. and why she did the job she did. predecessor was

—— it became. she was persistent even this year in passing it again. gun safety was a key piece of her legacy, so too was protecting america's women against violence. she along withjoe biden, then

barbara boxer were all elected in 1992 along with senator patty murray. they were part of an important vanguard of leadership of senior women here in the senate. senator murray is the president pro tem and chair of appropriations committee and is caring for that important legacy. i know from what i've heard from other colleagues morejuniorfemale in particular, more junior female in particular, senator morejuniorfemale in particular, senator feinstein was a source of encouragement, often attentive to the challenge when women face family concerns and professional concerns. i was just talking with a few colleagues about that on the floor earlier today. senator feinstein was an incredible senator, but also a very good, kind and warm person and a terrific colleague. you very good, kind and

the resolution in the senate that has strong bipartisan support by this afternoon. instead, senator paul, it's my understanding, is blocking our proceeding any sooner than the absolute maximum amount of time that our rules require. enter in the senate, we can do everything, but without unanimous consent, we can hardly do anything. in the house, there is a small group of about two dozen very extreme republican house members who have succeeded in defeating their effort at passing a resolution. i hope the spirit of senator feinstein encourages these folks to recognise the very real human cost for millions of federal employees for them and their families. the men and women of law enforcement, armed forces, the border patrol who will be serving without pay starting this weekend if you go through with the shutdown. this impacts our staff here in congress, but also hundreds and hundreds of thousands of other civilian workers all over the country. if you care about environmental safety, if you care about cancer research, if you care about cancer research, if you care about food inspections, if you care about food inspections, if you care about air traffic control and air traffic safety, all of these are roles where federal workers play a central and key facilitating role. a government shutdown harms them, and i know senator feinstein, were she still with us, would be working with great determination to try and craft some compromise. she passed her last vote yesterday. i think it is a tribute to the fact that she was so determined to keep serving the people of

after five inches — or more than ten centimetres of water fell in just hours. here's nada tawfik from new york. a morning of chaos in new york as torrential rain caused flash flooding. commuters became trapped as major roads and expressways turned into rivers. new york officials, declaring a state of emergency, warned residents the situation was dangerous and life—threatening, and urged them to stay home. every one of the city's subways was impacted, with services suspended on 17 lines in brooklyn, where gushing water inundated the tracks and turned stairs at the grand army plaza station into a waterfall. low—lying areas here were already saturated by days of steady rainfall and an additional seven inches are expected in some parts of the region — remnants of tropical storm ophelia. with service suspended on 17 lines in brooklyn, where gushing water oh, my god. new york city emergency services are responding to calls of people trapped in flooded basements, and so far six people have been rescued. no deaths have been reported. the water has begun to recede in some areas, but with the downpour expected to continue into saturday, relief will be slow. nada tawfik, bbc news, new york. and we have an update on a story the bbc has been covering for the past day or so: police in the uk have arrested a man in his 60s in connection to the cutting—down of the world—famous sycamore gap tree. the landmark was cut down overnight on wednesday. the tree was beloved by locals and visitors alike, and featured in the film �*robin hood prince of thieves', starring kevin costner. a 16—year—old boy was arrested on thursday and has since been released on bail. that's all from washington for now. i'm sumi somaskanda. we'll be back in 30 minutes with more. thanks for watching bbc news. hello. we may be officially into autumn, but a little dose of summer on the way for some of us over the next few days, notjust here in the uk, but widely across europe. and in fact, temperatures are expected to reach the 30s in spain, france, in the uk, even mid—20s expected in the south in the days ahead. now, at the moment, there is a little weather front heading our way — that is going to bring a bit of a mixed bag for some of us. now, the early hours will be clear, generally speaking, across most of the country, and it will be quite a nippy morning. in fact, in the glens of scotland, it could be around 4 degrees, but i think for most of us, in the range of around 7—10 celsius. so, it starts off quite sunny and bright at the very least for most of us. but out towards the west, this rain crosses ireland and you can see thickening cloud there from the southwest across wales, the irish sea, northern ireland and into southwestern scotland. so here, a very different picture to other parts of the country. outbreaks of rain at times heavy in belfast and also gusty winds around coasts. the north of scotland, most of the north sea coast and further south the weather's looking fine, sunny. i think sunshine for plymouth, for the isle of wight and also for london, where highs will reach 20 celsius. now, notice that rain never reaches the south. it veers off towards the north, and with that also comes relatively humid air to the south of that weather front, and that humid and also quite warm air will spread across many parts of the country. that means that early in the morning, on sunday, it will be very warm. look at that — 16—17 degrees celsius at eight o'clock in the south. now, there will be a little bit of rain around in the morning, i think across parts of wales and the midlands. but eventually, the sun should come out in most areas, and we're talking about the mid—20s in the southeast on sunday, a little bit fresher in scotland and northern ireland here of around 16 or 17 celsius. now, the outlook for the rest of europe shows a large area of high pressure building across the continent. that's basically going to allow the warm air to spread all the way to eastern parts of europe. there'll be a bit of a blip because this weather front will introduce temporarily some slightly fresher air to some to some parts of europe. but i think overall, it's going to stay on the warm side. let's have a look at a snapshot, then, for some of our cities into the week ahead, and generally speaking, really quite warm. hey, i'm julia with the catch up. a 14—year—old girl and a coach driver have died after their school bus overturned on the m53 in merseyside. police say that 58 people were involved. a 14—year—old boy also suffered life—changing injuries. pupils at the schools are getting special support. some other stories now from sunday. a new law will ban shops and takeaways from selling single—use plastic like cutlery and polystyrene cups. the thing is, some businesses are saying they have no idea about the ban, and haven't prepared at all. facing financial stress, more than half of uni students are balancing their studies with paid jobs. the higher education policy institute, which did the research, is worried it makes inequalities between students worse. people born using sperm or egg donors in the uk who turn 18 after sunday will now be able to find out who their donor is, because of a law from 2005.
