Failed to convince enough members of his party to back a stop gap measure that would fund federal agencies for another month, while Congress Worked on long term spending plans. This means at midnight eastern time on sunday, the Us Government will run out of money to fund itself unless congress can agree a last minute deal. The republicans, who hold a slim majority in the house of representatives, are in a deadlock, with members on the right of the party demanding wide ranging Spending Cuts. One of that groups main objections has been the white houses request for an additional 24 billion in aid to ukraine. Mr mccarthy urged the senate to drop that measure from its resolution. I think if we had a clean one without ukraine on it, we could probably be able to move that through. I think if the senate puts ukraine on there and focuses ukraine over america, i think that could cause real problems.

Nagorno karabakh was controlled by Armenian Separatists for 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. Heres more from dickran khodanian, a Freelance Journalist currently in goris. Im actually in goris, which is 30 minutes right after the illegal checkpoint that azerbaijan has set up. As you can see behind me, there are a few tents set up. As of now, theyre reporting that around 100,000 armenians have entered the republic of armenia. And just to give you an idea, the population of goris is 20,000. So one of the first stops is the city, because this is where they are registering. This is where theyre getting a media assessment. And this is where theyre being then later sent for accommoda

When the House Of Representatives is led by a Different Party to the one that controls the senate and also occupies the white house. Deadlocks. Not unheard of. The government shut down six times since 1990. And when they happen, they can last for a short time, even days. But theres usually a very clear reason why. Last time, for example, the government shut down in 2018. It was 35 days that those services were stopped. And this was because of a very clear disagreement about Donald Trumps wish to build a wall on the southern border. 2013, similarly, very clear Policy Disagreements saw a 16 day shutdown when representatives fell out over the provision of 0bamacare.
