The Republican House of representatives the table. The Republican House of representatives speaker the table. The Republican House of representatives speaker was the table. The Republican House of representatives speaker was also i representatives speaker was also following that news. Just moments ago on the house floor, we passed by overwhelming numbers the ability to keep government open for the next six weeks. Youve got to understand why we are here. The senate has produced not one Appropriation Bill through the floor. The house . More than 70 . Discretionary spending has now passed. I do not believe our troops need to be punished for us not getting the work done. So i ask congress will stay in session the next two weeks, continue to work to get this done. Hakeem jefferies, democratic minority leaders has also been speaking in the last hour. We went from devastating cuts that would have impacted the health and safety and economic well being of the American People in 24 hours, to a Spending Agreement that meets the needs of the American People across the board. Entirely consistent with what democrats have said, from the very beginning, is the only path forward. It still got to the senate, hasnt it . Iii it still got to the senate, hasnt it . Y s, it still got to the senate, hasnt it . Y. , ~. , it . If you think of the United States congress it . If you think of the United States congress in it . If you think of the United States congress in the it . If you think of the united i States Congress in the building behind me, at least the image thereof, live images. Its made of a Lower Chamber and an Upper Chamber, it has the House Of Representatives and it has the senate. So yeah, 335 to 91 is an overwhelming majority. Democrats of the House Of Representatives have absolutely backed up speaker Kevin Mccarthy, he was already under extreme threat from hardline republicans, if he tries to push through by the Upper Chamber to continue funding the other. 17th of november, he would be vacated, he would be kicked out of office. So what hes done alongside republicans and democrats in the House Of Representatives is agreed to this deal that doesnt actually give democrats everything they wanted. They want for instance, 6 billion to be released under the Senate Proposal that was effectively vetoed by the hardliners, theyre not going to get that. The white house has welcomed the House Of Representatives passing the bill, but the separate bill being introduced by Kevin Mccarthy in the next couple days, i do want to speak too soon because this capitol hill is a crazy place sometimes with these things but its looking more likely than not the senate probably are going to nod through the House Of Representatives proposal, if they do it gives everybody a little bit of breathing space. But it would only keep government going for 45 days, thats better than shutting down at midnight, but its going to be a very stressful thanksgiving for both the house of epicentre of members and the senate in the capital building. Members and the senate in the capital building. Ocoee so this next ass capital building. Ocoee so this next pass through capital building. Ocoee so this next pass through the capital building. Ocoee so this next pass through the senate, capital building. Ocoee so this next pass through the senate, that capital building. Ocoee so this next i pass through the senate, that has to take place within the coming hours, is that right, sean . Yet take place within the coming hours, is that right, sean . Is that right, sean . Yet it does. We are sittin is that right, sean . Yet it does. We are sitting there is that right, sean . Yet it does. We are sitting there watching is that right, sean . Yet it does. We are sitting there watching every are sitting there watching every moment of that as you can imagine. It sort of needs to happen a bit before midnight as well actually, because you know, the country is governed by the presence in the white house, by the House Of Representatives and the senate, so it needs to happen now is the House Of Representatives has passed this new measure, the senate has to also pass it and if they pass it, President Joe Biden has to sign a bit of paper and say, yeah, i agree with that. All of that has to happen before midnight, if it doesnt, if that Point Nonessential Workers will be put on unpaid leave. So Many Americans watching this now on bbc news, and the edge of their social, federal employees families, propped up federal employees families, propped up by federal employees families, propped up by the Park Services thats federal service, up by the Park Services thats federalservice, really up by the Park Services thats federal service, really kind of hoping that they are not going to see their pay stop overnight, and at the moment its looking positive for them, but it is still possible to Snatch Defeat from the jaws of victory.

So whats the likelihood then, is that a given that it will gets passed through the senate . It certainly looks that way. I said expect the senate to vote within the hour on this measure and i think there are two important things to remember here. Number one, it looks like the government is going to stay open, thats the good news. The bad news is there is no funding for ukraine in this measure and we have to go through this for another 45 days as your correspondent said. So what is clear is, Kevin Mccarthy would not have gotten this bill through without leaving out funding for ukraine, and without a lot of democratic votes, only one democrat voted against this. 90 republicans voted against this. 90 republicans voted against this. 90 republicans voted against it, and that tells you everything. 0ver voted against it, and that tells you everything. Over in the senate side, an Interesting Development today, is Mitch Mcconnell didnt want to do this unless Ukraine Funding was in there. And he was overruled by the other republican senators, and hes been known to really run that caucus with an iron fist. It is the first time i can remember that Mitch Mcconnell was overruled. So ukraine is going to be a Central Factor Mcconnell was overruled. So ukraine is going to be a centralfactor in all of this and the funding for that, and whether it gets done in yet another Funding Mechanism between now and 45 days from now, or something separately, but it tells you everything that there is a very strong republican faction especially in the house that is more than happy to help putin before they help the American People. You to help putin before they help the American People. To help putin before they help the American People. You Ust Answered M Next American People. You ust answered my next question. American people. You just answered my next question, you American People. You just answered my next question, you went American People. You just answered my next question, you went throughj my next question, you went through everything if you go through the numbers there, you said this is going to come down to ukraine once we get past the 45 days. If going to come down to ukraine once we get past the 45 days. We get past the 45 days. If very well could. We get past the 45 days. If very well could, unless we get past the 45 days. If very well could, unless theres we get past the 45 days. If very i well could, unless theres another way to provide them funding and it looks like they are starting, i believe Jake Sullivan from the white house had a briefing the other day saying they are about to run out of it, and it is the larger more important principle that we need to help them fight for democracy so we can all keep our democracy and keep the coalition together because thats not, if we dont, putin is just going to keep marching through countries. So i think the American People are underestimating exactly the strength of, that putin has over the strength of, that putin has over the Republican Party in this country, and the quarterback is donald trump. They did this at the behest of donald trump. He asked the House Republicans especially met gates and others, dont give up unless you get everything. They got a huge win by keeping the Ukraine Funding Out. We a huge win by keeping the Ukraine Funding Out a huge win by keeping the Ukraine Fundin out. ~ ,. , funding out. We ust played a couple of Aui S Funding out. We ust played a couple of quips here funding out. We just played a couple of quips here for funding out. We just played a couple of quips here for our funding out. We just played a couple of quips here for our audiences, funding out. We just played a couple of quips here for our audiences, the | of quips here for our audiences, the first was the announcement of the bill and then we heard from Kevin Mccarthy and also from the democratic minority leader hakeem jeffries. Similar narratives, or slightly diverging, is all of this just politicking do you think . Inulniiie just politicking do you think . While there is always just politicking do you think . While there is always politics just politicking do you think . Wu ie there is always politics involved, but its clear that Kevin Mccarthy is hanging onto hisjob by a thread. The minute that vote was counted and ended, met gates tried to put a measure on the floor to remove Kevin Mccarthy from his job, measure on the floor to remove Kevin Mccarthy from hisjob, and then immediately gaveled and adjourned, so that could not happen. So they could come up again next week. So its really, without the democrats saving Kevin Mccarthy and really keeping the government open, then the government wouldnt be open but everyone lost on the Ukraine Funding so far. �. ,. , so far. Ok, well leave it there for now and so far. Ok, well leave it there for new and find so far. Ok, well leave it there for now and find out so far. Ok, well leave it there for now and find out as so far. Ok, well leave it there for now and find out as marianne so far. Ok, well leave it there for. Now and find out as Marianne Marsh said there, the vote, possibly, within the next hour or so in the senate. Armenia says more than 100,000 Ethnic Armenians have now left Nagorno Karabakh. It means that 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 check points, 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 its 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. Azerbaijan has said it would allow such a visit to take place. 0ur correspondent Rayhan Demytrie is in the armenian town of goris. Outside the humanitarian Registration Centre here in goris which has been working 24 7 since the influx from Nagorno Karabakh began last sunday. There is still a lot of people in need of help with more than 100,000 people being registered. Now, theres hardly anyone left inside the Nagorno Karabakh enclave which came under azerbaijani control. Bakus so called anti terror operation against the separatist Ethnic Armenian authorities inside Nagorno Karabakh lasted just 24 hours. Karabakh armenians had surrendered and have now largely been disarmed. Their former leaders are being arrested one by one by azerbaijan, which accused them of terrorism. Their republic, which existed for 32 years but was never recognized by the international community, ceased to exist. People who were forced to flee their homes like milena from kert village have been describing what happened. Translation my son manages this after having seen everything. It pains me to be leaving, but i have hope that ill 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. Matthew bryza, a former Us Ambassador To Azerbaijan Who was a mediator in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict gave us his analysis. Ive covered this conflict pretty much since 2001, so 22 years. Including as the us mediator. And you know, its such a complex conflict and region, because it was josef stalin who decided to divide and conquer, of course, and ethnically armenian predominant area would become of the azerbaijan soviet socialist republic. Inside that armenian area which is inside of azerbaijan, was a city called shusha in armenian, that is considered the cradle of azerbaijani civilisation and is azerbaijan eight civilisation and is azerbaijani majority. There is layer upon layer of ethnic pockets, the conflict exploded in 1992 where the soviet union was collapsing into a military conflict, and as your reporter was saying, internationally even armenia recognises kara buck as part of armenia recognises karabakh as part of azerbaijan, its that however there was an armenian population that has lived there and the last thing ill say it is during all these 22 years ive been involved with the conflict, the official position of the azerbaijani government is that it intends to, once it is allowed to bring its own azerbaijani citizens back to this azerbaijani region, that the armenian population would remain there. So armenia, obviously the armenians, theres a lot of distrust, there are a lot of armenians that will want to return once the azerbaijanis live up to their promises. To
