The senate still needs to pass the measure, if no funding is in place by the end of saturday Government Agencies will begin shutting down with hundreds of Flute Thousands of federal employees sent home without pgy federal employees sent home without pay.

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.

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.

Well be covering that right. Much. Well be covering that right here on bbc news. Marianne marsh is a democratic Strategist Entrance now, hello there to you, ms. Marsh. 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 provide for the full rights of the Ethnic Armenian community that losing karabakh, including security. Polls have just closed in in slovakia, where Officials Say there has been a brisk turn out in the countrys general election. Slovak liberal Party Progressive slovakia is seen winning, according to the exit polls. For months the Populist Smer Party led Opinion Polls, with a promise to stop all military aid to kyiv. But in recent days the liberal Progressive Slovakia Party gained ground. Live now to our correspondent rob cameron who is following the elections from prague in neighbouring czech republic. Thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. Right, so these are the exit polls. It is, are we, these are going to be correct. What does that now mean to . Now mean to . Well first of all, i think i should now mean to . Well first of all, i think i should say now mean to . Well first of all, i think i should say that now mean to . Well first of all, i think i should say that these now mean to . Well first of all, i | think i should say that these exit polls, or this exit poll its just one. Should be taken with just a grain of salt, a barrel of salt actually. We dont have any of the results yet. I think theyve counted about i think there is 1. 7 of the ballot so far. So a huge pinch of salt, but this is an exit poll and its not the real result which are now starting to flow in. But if its accurate, and prove previous exit polls are accurate, all the Opinion Polls are accurate, all the Opinion Polls in the recent weeks were pointing to a victory or at least the popular smer party, Progressive Party has been nipping at their heels, and in the most recent opinion poll has overtaken them. If the results do replicate this exit poll it means that yes, there is pro liberal, pro western party, Progressive Slovakia will form the right to lead Coalition Talks on the next government. If this exit poll is accurate they have 42 seats in the 150 seat slovak parliament. You need 76, so thats when the Coalition Talks and the real hard work start. 50 Coalition Talks and the real hard work start Coalition Talks and the real hard workstart. ,. , ,. , work start.

And people will be watching thinking why does this count . Particularly as we keep hearing about slovakia and the war in ukraine. ~. , ~. , in ukraine. While the war in ukraine was front and in ukraine. While the war in ukraine was front and centre in ukraine. While the war in ukraine was front and centre of in ukraine. While the war in ukraine was front and centre of the was front and centre of the campaign, it wasnt the only issue but it was a big one. And that was partly because the former Prime Minister threatened or pledged not to send a single round of ammunition to send a single round of ammunition to ukraine if he were elected. He also spoke out against ukraines potential membership of nato, saying no, that would start world war iii. He has spoken of the war in ukraine starting in 2014, not 2022, when in his words, Ukrainian Nazis and fascists murdered. If he would be the man forming the next government or potentially becoming Prime Ministerfor the or potentially becoming Prime Minister for the fourth time it would be, that the kind of man with that kind of rhetoric, which sounds like its been scripted not in slovakia but in moscow. Eu partners would have to deal with him, so i think for now there will be some very cautious sighs of relief. Rab very cautious sighs of relief. Rob cameron. Very cautious sighs of relief. Rob cameron, thank very cautious sighs of relief. Rob cameron, thank you very much for that analysis there, thank you. Here in the uk Prime Minister, rishi sunak, has arrived in manchester ahead 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 wont support any policies that lead to higher overall taxes. 0ur Questions from his own mp was causing too much of a distraction. They often find their mps want to do the same. Liz truss isnt going away. She is more than 30 mp5 Eating Pressure on the Prime Minister over tax.

Si sunak is going to spend the next few days here, trying to tell us all hes going to focus on the next challenges of the country faces. Even the challenges are difficult hes going to tap look of the Big Questions. Conservatives are behind in the polls, many here are asking is this part of a bigger vision or just a ploy to find something to win back voters. Rishi sunak may have studied the conservative party, certainly call more than other predecessors. There is still division, suppressor, and well see a lot more of it in the next few days. Here in the uk, the School Coach Driver who died in a crash on a motorway in mersyside was a loving husband and father, his family have said. 15 year old Jessica Baker and coach driver Stephen Shrimpton died after the vehicle overturned on the m53 in wirral on friday. Four others were taken to hospital for treatment, including a 14 year old boy with life changing injuries. They remain in a stable condition. Moving to pakistan, investigations are underway 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, pakistans largest province, has suffered mutiple attacks from groups including the Pakistani Taliban and Islamic State group. And in a separate explosion, at least five people are reported to have died at a blast at a mosque near the city of peshawar. Saher baloch has this report 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 hes my cousin. His name is fidel hussein. I was at home yesterday. He told me he was leaving for work, but he didnt go and came to this congregation with his friends instead. His number is switched off since then and i cant 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 fridays 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 prophets 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. President solih of the maldives has conceded to his rival Mohamed Muizzu in the countrys president ial vote. The Elections Commission showed mr muizzu winning 54 of the ballots in an election overshadowed by Big Questions over the influence of india or china in the Small Island Nation in the indian ocean. Heres david waddell. It is a tiny nation of half a Million People spread across 187 inhabited islands. There are a further 1000 and inhabited. 1000 uninhabited. But the number of tourists who arrive there dwarfs the number of people who live there. They are attracted by the fantastic climate for several months of the year, and these beautiful locales, that they come to enjoy. 50 years ago, the maldives was one of the worlds poorest countries. But that has all changed as the country recognised it needed to build resources to secure a future for its people. For now, the country in enjoys a strategically important position in the middle of the indian ocean, one of the worlds busiest east west shipping lanes. India, a traditional benefactor of the country, and china, are seeking to build influence there, and this election is largely about the question of which regional superpower should be able to take precedence. The outgoing president solih has turned his country to face india, in recent years, after a period of borrowing heavily from china. He will stay in office until a successor is inaugurated in november. For his part, Mohamed Muizzu is likely to lean back to china. It is no surprise that neither policy is universally popular. India and china are locked in an ongoing geostrategic struggle. The maldives occupies a place of interest, but it is a country with little cloud, so, elections are always clout, so, elections are always a time for its people to face big choices. And finally Security Guards in the philippines have found an unlikely colleague the paw patrol is assisting with Security Operations at the Worldwide Corporate Centre in the capital, manila. Conan, a six month old stray, enlisted in the Security Team a few months ago. He is among the fortunate felines who have been adopted in the city, where thousands of cats call the streets home. We had plenty of damp weather on saturday and we are also forecasting rain at least for a time on sunday. Bright weather i think for the majority of us. A Conveyor Belt of cloud stretching from the southwest spreading across the uk, thats the Weather Front. Spreading across the uk, thats the weatherfront. To spreading across the uk, thats the Weather Front. To the south of it weve got that warm and quite humid air streaming weve got that warm and quite humid airstreaming in, a lot of weve got that warm and quite humid air streaming in, a lot of missed and merck around southwestern and western coast in the early hours. Around parts of wales and northern england. Temperatures at seven oclock in the morning, 17 in the south, about 15 in newcastle so a really mild start to the day. Heres the forecast for the morning. You can see where its weight raining, wales, northern england, a lot of sunshine for scotland and northern ireland. Highs possibly up to 20 degrees, 23 or 24 degrees across the east anglia and the south. Temperatures more like august really. Into monday, the Weather Front is still here, its trailing way out into the atlantic, it keeps spreading over us but well get a chance of some rain in the form of quite heavy showers, even a crack of thunder as possible. Showers across parts of scotland, still 22 23 celsius in london and the southeast. Here is tuesdays weather map, these eyes so isobars mean wind. Here is tuesday then, a few showers are crossed many western and northern areas, i think itll feel a little more pressure around these western coasts, 16 17 c, about 20 or so in london but i think its the teens for most of us on tuesday. Heres a snapshot of the week, and you can see that the best of the weather across the south of the country, but overall actually, across the south of the country, but overallactually, not across the south of the country, but overall actually, not too bad with a few showers here and there. This is bbc news, the headlines. The us House Of Representatives narrowly passes a Stopgap Measure averting Government Shutdown just hours before funding was due to expire. Armenias government says more than 100,000 Ethnic Armenians have now fled Nagorno Karabakh since azerbaijan seized the region. The United Nations is sending a team to assess humanitarian needs.

It comes as Railway Unions stage strikes across the uk over pay and conditions. A pro china candidate wins the second round of president ial elections in the maldives.
