of thousands of federal employees are sent home without pay. we can speak now to our north america correspondent, sean dilley, who has the latest. from what i've just read, things have moved on somewhat. the house has voted for this stopgap bill, it's still to go to the senate and it's still to go to the senate and it's not really the main event, isn't it? �* , it's not really the main event, isn't it? 3 , , it's not really the main event, isn't it? �*, , , ., , isn't it? it's pretty nail-biting stuff here _ isn't it? it's pretty nail-biting stuff here in _ isn't it? it's pretty

of a netflix house of cards episode. 90 against, this is really, really interesting because it doesn't include any new funding for ukraine. it does continue with other aid funding and the notion that it will keep the government running until the middle of november. your right to say that actually this is one very significant stumbling block that has now been climbed over by hook and by crook. it does go to the senate, and the senate is controlled by the democratic party with a 51—49 majority. the lack of funding for ukraine could be a particular issue of concern, so it's not over the hill. at this point, but it's certainly looking much more positive even how it was an hour ago. so certainly looking much more positive even how it was an hour ago. 50 iii even how it was an hour ago. so if they hadn't _ even how it was an hour ago. so if they hadn't got — even how it was an hour ago. so if they hadn't got to _ even how it was an hour ago. so if they hadn't got to this, _ even how it was an hour ago. so if they hadn't got to this, and hopefully it passes through the senate, what could have gone wrong? what still could go wrong, at midnight tonight if a deal has not been done by congress as a whole, and we willjust quickly remind viewers that congress obviously you've got the house of representatives, you've got the senate which is the upper chamber, then with the president of the united states, they government govern the united states. if they can't come to an agreement by midnight tonight then hundreds of thousands of federal workers could be placed on unpaid furlough leave. you have to continue coming into work, anybody doing what is considered to be an essential role, 1.4 million military personnel, that's a law enforcement, would have to come to work and not be paid for it. and of course, look, and the states�* inflation is skyrocketing. people are living from paycheque to paycheque and here�*s the really big kick in the notion of a lockdown for both parties, really. there is no doubt about it, if a lockdown happen, it would be extremely damaging for the us economy. the ratings agency has warned if it is such shut down were to happen in the us credit rating would make it even more hard to borrow money. find more hard to borrow money. and ou've more hard to borrow money. and you've got _ more hard to borrow money. and you've got the — more hard to borrow money. and you've got the student loans, the you�*ve got the student loans, the payouts. a lot of people are saying for three weeks, that was the last one we believe, the less shut down. it's ok, it's one we believe, the less shut down. it�*s ok, it�*s micro, it�*s the macroeconomic impacts that people would be worried about. yeah macroeconomic impacts that people would be

think it would be ok _ would be worried about. yeah i don't think it would be ok or _ would be worried about. yeah i don't think it would be ok or actually, - think it would be ok or actually, the research kind of points to nine /10 people living paycheque to paycheque. if you look at the last when you were referring to, that was 2018 and that was a lockdown caused by disagreements over the erection of a wall on the southern border. you had federal workers filmed in food bank lines. these are everyday americans who would absolutely suffer in the short term and it could cost up to $11 billion at a time when national debt is well over now, 32 trillion.— now, 32 trillion. before we leave ou, now, 32 trillion. before we leave you. obviously — now, 32 trillion. before we leave you, obviously senator— now, 32 trillion. before we leave | you, obviously senator mccarthy, leader of the house, has featured a fairly strongly in this story. why are we talking about him so much? there have been comments about his job being on the line, there were deals to elect him in the first place and the republicans who have got him there have are waiting to cash in, just what is going on? it�*s cash in, 'ust what is going on? it's a ve cash in, just what is going on? it�*s a very good question, congressman mccarthy is the speaker of the lower chamber within congress, he has been pressured, he�*s been strung on by at least nine hard—line republican politicians who wanted far deeper cuts, and the democratic senators certainly with have been willing to accept. there has been disquiet about extra money going to ukraine. now look, the speaker of congress, the house of representatives is a highly partisan political operator, that�*s notjust because we are talking about republican, his predecessor, the democratic speaker nancy pelosi was just as much so for her political party. it�*s been made clear by these hard—line republicans that work kevin mccarthy to rely on democratic support to get the original deal through, the one that he said was dead on arrival, they would remove him from office. the question now, the thing to watch now is how angry are those hard—line republicans going to be, that a deal has passed through 335 votes— 91, moving a very real step further to averting a government shutdown. it�*s averting a government shutdown. it's been a pleasure to talk through these things with you, very much. armenia says more than 100,000 ethnic—armenians have now left nagorno—karabakh. it means that almost the entire population of the enclave has left since azerbaijan seized the region last week. ethnic armenians have been taking the narrow, mountainous route through the lachin corridor, negotiating the russian checkpoints, and then finally the last azerbaijani checks — before reaching armenia. nagorno—karabakh has been controlled by armenian separatists for three decades, but is internationally recognised as part of azerbaijan. the united nations says it�*s sending a mission to the region this weekend, to assess the humanitarian situation. the team will look at the needs of people remaining in the territory as well as those who are on the move. people who were forced to flee their homes — like milena from kert village — have been describing what happened. translation:. it pains me to be leaving, but i have hope that i'll be able to come back. this is one of the paradises on earth that cannot be traded with or compared to lands or wealth. the world should not believe that we are willingly leaving. we fought till the very end with our blood, with our lives to protect our country. live now to matthew bryza, a former us ambassador to azerbaijan who was a mediator in the nagorno—karabakh conflict. of of when, and bested her? if you could just give us a little bit of background to that.— could just give us a little bit of background to that. thank you so much, i background to that. thank you so much. i have _ background to that. thank you so much, i have covered _ background to that. thank you so much, i have covered this - background to that. thank you so j much, i have covered this conflict pretty much since 2001, so 22 years, including us the us mediator. it�*s such a complex conflict and region because it was josef stalin who decided to divide and because it wasjosef stalin who decided to divide and conquer, of course, an ethnically armenian predominant area it would become part of the azerbaijan soviet socialist republic. but inside that armenian area which is inside azerbaijan, was a city called shusha. there is layer upon layer of ethnic pockets, and the conflict really, it exploded in 1992 when the soviet union was collapsing into a military conflict, and as your reporter was saying, internationally, even armenia recognises karabach. there wasn�*t armenian population that lived there, and all of these 22 years i�*ve been involved with the conflict the official position of the azerbaijani government is that it intends to become once it is allowed to bring its own azerbaijani citizens back, that the armenian population would remain there. so armenia, obviously the armenians, there�*s a lot of distrust and hopefully like the person who was interviewed just now, there will be a lot of armenians who want to return if and when the azerbaijanis live up to their promises. to provide for the full rights of the ethnic armenian community that lives there. do ethnic armenian community that lives there. ,, , ethnic armenian community that lives there. i. , ., ethnic armenian community that lives there. , ., ., ,, a there. do you see that happening? as simle as, there. do you see that happening? as simple as. live _ there. do you see that happening? as simple as. live uo _ there. do you see that happening? as simple as, live up to your _ there. do you see that happening? as simple as, live up to your promises? l simple as, live up to your promises? so far so good. i mean as i�*ve said in other discussions, there are a lot of azerbaijanis who would not want revenge because in the early 90s when the first war happened, 85,000 azerbaijanis had to flee to armenia from azerbaijan. hundreds of thousands armenians went in the other direction. i think the armenian population is worried that the azerbaijanis might enact revenge. the government says we want you to stay, now they are providing humanitarian assistance, they are not obstructing the exits of the armenians who want to go to armenia, but i know from my own conversations with senior leaders in azerbaijan, it won�*t be seen as a victory if carlock is emptied of all of its armenians. —— karabach. carlock is emptied of all of its armenians. -- karabach. what would the beginning. _ armenians. -- karabach. what would the beginning. is— armenians. -- karabach. what would the beginning, is there _ armenians. -- karabach. what would the beginning, is there outside - the beginning, is there outside pressure? why the azerbaijanis want the armenians to stay, for centuries they lived side by side as neighbours in karabach and other regions. neighbours in karabach and other reuions. �* .,, �* neighbours in karabach and other reuions. �* �* ., . regions. and there wasn't violence, the violence — regions. and there wasn't violence, the violence really _ regions. and there wasn't violence, the violence really happened - regions. and there wasn't violence, the violence really happened much| the violence really happened much later and reached its apex in the 90s and the second karabach war in 1990. so what the azerbaijanis have said as they want to return the status quo. living next to each other as neighbours again. again the azerbaijanis know that they have to do a lot more than make promises, they have to deliver, and it�*s really great in that regard that the united nations monitoring mission is coming. that will not only be eyes and ears on the azerbaijanis to make sure they perform and therefore provide an incentive for them to provide, but hopefully also will send a signal to the armenian side that you know, it�*s safe to go back to your home. find that you know, it's safe to go back to your home-— to your home. and the role of russia. obviously _ to your home. and the role of russia. obviously they - to your home. and the role of russia. obviously they were l

that continuing? —— unclos of unclos of —— enclave. during the period of withdrawal, there might be competitions from the armenian side, now with the armenian military forces completely out of 10 two, there�*s going to be peace. i two, there's going to be peace. i believe that the removal of those armenian troops that have been on that bit of territory of azerbaijan, their removal clears the way for the prime minister of armenia to do what he wanted to do, which has reached a peace treaty with the president of ours the president of armenia has been obstructed by really severe nationalist forces that had that wedge, the armenian military forces on the ground in karabach to push for continued conflict. the treaty is most likely on there won�*t be a need for russian peacekeepers... thank

of the conservative party conference. but it will be a mixed reception for him, as more than 30 of his own mps have said they won�*t support any policies that lead to higher overall taxes. 0ur political correspondent, nick eardley, is in manchester. he told us more. a warning — there is some flash photography. the prime minister has arrived here in manchester. so what he�*s going to spend the next few days doing is using this conference as a bit of a launch pad to get really stuck into the politics that he�*s going to try and sell to the electorate in the general election next year. he�*s going to try and persuade us all that he�*s prepared to take difficult, long term decisions for the good of the country. he�*s going to try and persuade us all that he has a vision to get the economy back on track. but it�*s going to be easier said than done. and when you ask ministers about what some of that might look like, they�*re still tight lipped at the moment. there are still big questions to be answered. for example, here in manchester is supposed to be where the new high speed two rail line ends. ministers have been asked again today if that�*s going to happen. they�*ve stonewalled those questions. rishi sunak is facing calls from theresa may, his predecessor, borisjohnson, another predecessor, to go ahead with the project in full. then there�*s tax, as you were just discussing, anotherformer prime minister, liz truss, saying that conservatives shouldn�*t back anything that would lead to more tax rises. to be honest, there probably aren�*t any tax rises planned within the next few months, but that�*s designed as a warning shot to the prime minister. then you add into the mix the fact that this former conservative candidate or wannabe candidate, richard walker, has resigned from the party, saying he thinks it has drifted away from something that would work in an economic sense. that�*s a really tricky backdrop for rishi sunak as he tries to persuade us all he deserves more time in power. now it�*s time for a look at today�*s sport with kathy. we�*ll start at golf�*s ryder cup where europe dominated the first three sessions but america have come back in saturday�*s fourballs to finally win a session 3?1. europe still have a strong lead of ten and half points to five and a half points with the 12 singles matches to come tomorrow. but that europe advantage means america would have to do something no team has done before in the ryder cup and come back from five points down on the final day. the biggest final? day comeback margin? tottenham�*s resurgence under ange postecoglou continued with a dramatic late win against previously unbeaten liverpool spurs stretched their impressive start under the australian in the premier league to seven matches courtesy of a 96th minute own goal from liverpool defenderjoel matip. earlier, son heung?min had opened the scoring for tottenham after curtis jones had been sent off. liverpool levelled through cody gakpo in stoppage time but then had diogojota sent off for two yellow cards. manchester city�*s perfect start to the premier league season came to an end with a 2?1 defeat at wolves. pep guardiola was serving a touchline ban after collecting three yellow cards, and had to watch his team leave empty? handed. wolves took the lead through a ruben dias own goal. julian alvarez equalised from a free kick for city. but wolves�* south korean striker, hwang hee?chan struck to secure just their second league win of the season. aston villa beat brighton 6?1 arsenal had a comfortable 4?0 win at bournemouth. luton town have their first premier league win, a 2?1victory over everton. manchester united lost 1?0 at home to crystal palace. newcastle and west ham both won today. argentina set up a winner?takes?all clash with japan in pool d after a comprehensive 59 points to five victory over chile. an already special day for nicolas sanchez, winning his 100th cap for the pumas, was made even better by sanchez scoring the opening try of the match ? one of eight tries in the game for argentina. chile did get something for their endeavour but it�*s argentina who have boosted their quarter finals hopes with the win. fiji have all but sealed their place in the quarter finals of the rugby world cup but they had to come from behind against georgia before winning by 17 points to 12. the game between scotland and romania kicked off around 15 minutes ago with scotland in third place in their pool, they need a bonus point win to keep their hopes of a quarter final place alive. 0ns jabeur has won her fifth career title, at the ningbo 0pen in china, beating teenager diana shnaider in straight sets. jabeur, who is a three—time grand slam finalist, had taken a wild card to enter the tournament at the last minute and it certainly paid off. it tookjabeurjust an hour and 18 minutes for the world number seven to wrap up a 6?2 6?1win against an opponent playing in her first career final. very happy, you know, i wasn�*t expecting to come here and play but definitely it�*s amazing for my confidence and hopefully it will continue playing this way. i think the fact that i managed being tired and physically... it was challenging for me. it was challenging on my body and be able to finish this week strong it was the most important thing for me. strong it was the most important thing for me— thing for me. great to see her smilin: thing for me. great to see her smiling and — thing for me. great to see her smiling and winning _ thing for me. great to see her smiling and winning again. - and that�*s all the sport for now. moving to pakistan, investigations are under way into two deadly explosions on friday which killed more than 60 people. the first explosion was near a mosque in the southwestern province of balochistan as people celebrated the birth of the prophet muhammad. police say at least 59 people were killed there, with another 50 injured. police suspect it was a suicide attack targeting the religious gathering in mastung city. balochistan, pakistan�*s largest province, has suffered mutiple attacks from groups including the

from mustang in balochistan. family members are showing up at the blast site in mastung to look for the remains of their loved ones. this man named habibullah came here looking for his cousin. translation: he's my cousin. his name is fidel hussein. i was at home yesterday. he told me he was leaving for work, but he didn't go and came to this congregation with his friends instead. his number is switched off since then and i can't connect with him. whereas he ran towards the site when he heard the blast. translation: up to this time, there have been no results - from the number of fact finding inquiries into the blasts. at least the findings should tell us who is responsible. nobody claims responsibility for these blasts. this man here is a former city administrator. he told me he lost four members of his family in friday�*s explosion. translation: i called my nephew 4 to 5 times, - but he did not pick up his phone. i called his brotherl and then his father. i knew they went to the annual celebrations of prophet's birth| anniversary every year and realised they were all dead. _ there should be an investigation on the role of those _ deployed for our security. the police officers that i spoke with over here, they are not taking any names any more because since the time they named pakistani taliban and they backed off from it and they said that they have nothing to do with this incident at all, the police has not said anything at all about who could be responsible for this. so for the time being, the people over here still have a lot of questions that need answering. the school coach driver who died after yesterday�*s crash on a motorway in the uk has been named. 40—year—old stephen shrimpton and one of his passengers — 15—year—old jessica baker — died

conceded defeat on a post in �*x�*, formally known as twitter. the vote was seen as a referendum on whether maldives should rebuild relations with india, or seek closer ties with china. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. after the bright but chilly start to the day, the rain has moved in as we�*ve gone through the afternoon, moved in across northern ireland, northern england, much of wales, moving its way across scotland. you can see that cloud enveloping many areas, but in the south it�*s stayed mainly dry and in the north of scotland. but the north of scotland will catch that rain as we go through this evening. we will keep those pulses running across parts of northern england and wales, and actually, it stays mostly dry if a little misty and foggy in the south overnight. further north, once the rain clears, just a few showers. but look at the temperatures. it�*s very mild overnight. 14—16 celsius in the south is what we�*d see during the day as we head into the start of october. and that�*s because we�*ve got humid air moving into the south of that weather front. so it will be quite a muggy night as well and a murky morning, we could have some low level mist and fog, some fog over the hills as well underneath this band of rain. and we�*ll see further heavy pulses moving through. so for some parts of snowdonia and cumbria, we could see 30—40 millimetres of rain falling. very different day for scotland and northern ireland. it�*ll be bright with a scattering of showers around here. temperatures 17—19 celsius. as i say, it is humid air. and if we do see the sunshine south of that weather front, 23—24 celsius for the start of october. then as we go through the evening and overnight into sunday, then we see that band of rain just creeping a little bit further south. but it never really gets really far south and clears the south east probably until tuesday. behind it, certainly a fresher night, but again, warm and muggy across the southern half of the uk. now the reason for that is because we�*re going to see another pulse of rain moving along that same weather front. so holding it up, slowing it from clearing away. but this time, because we�*ve got so much muggy, humid air in train, there�*s more energy in the atmosphere, and we could see some really lively thunderstorms during the course of sunday night into monday, working their way across parts of england and wales. some real torrential downpours in places. to the north, another day of sunny spells and scattered showers. fairly fresh feeling here, but still quite warm and muggy and even underneath the showers and thunderstorms further south. now, that eventually clears out the way on tuesday. we�*ll see a dip in temperature briefly with sunny spells and showers to the north. but then later in the week, temperatures build in the south. bye— bye. this is bbc news, the headlines... the us house of representatives narrowly passes a stopgap measure averting government shutdown
