US government shutdown: Republicans scramble for last-minute deal – BBC News
The US moved closer to a government shutdown on Thursday, with House Republicans braced to oppose a last-minute proposal forming in the Senate.
Congress faces a deadline of midnight on Saturday to pass a new budget, before thousands of federal employees are placed on unpaid leave.
The Senate has forged ahead with plans for a temporary funding agreement – which House Republicans will oppose.

Poland’s president is among those calling for Ukraine to be granted EU membership, as an estimated 200,000 refugees have crossed into Poland.
One couple at the border, originally from Morocco and living in Ukraine, told the BBC how they have spent over 24 hours on a train followed by a 70km walk to reach the border where refugees were separated into different queues, one for Ukrainians and one for non Ukrainians. The couple have now entered Poland.

Eight people have been killed and hundreds injured in protests in the occupied West Bank.
The number of Palestinians killed in confrontations with Israelis this year, in the area, is already more than 70 – the highest figure in five years.
The worst hotspot for violence has been in the Palestinian village of Beita, where locals began organising the recent protests after hard-line Jewish settlers set up a new outpost on land claimed by Palestinian olive farmers.
The BBC’s Middle East Correspondent, Yolande Knell reports.

At least 734 people have died and more than 2,400 people are missing in Nepal, local officials say, after flash floods on Wednesday, triggered by a glacier collapse.
In Tibet, the official death toll is 16, with 546 reported to be missing, according to Chinese state media.
Nearly 20,000 security forces are deployed in rescue efforts on the Nepal-Tibet border as the UN says rough terrain and rain is making aid delivery “extremely difficult”.

There have been a lot of sanctions programmes against Iran. But this week US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Operation Economic Outcast, which promises to go further than ever before.
It will punish not just Iran but any country helping Iran – including China. It is the Trump administration’s latest attempt to end the war. Will it work?
We speak to Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University, and ask whether in trying to end one war, President Trump risks starting a global trade conflict.

Peace.
There are factors on a larger scale that seem beyond my reach. How I apply this in my life. Give generous tips for my food when ever possible. Also, be sure that any money spend internationally is transfered into local currency before making my purchase. May God recommends any loses. Devaluating and replacing currency used in fraulant transactions. Being sure our strive is for international peace. Stopping corruption in its tracks. Fortifying the quality of life we are all working. In the name of The Lord for everything. God Bless.

「テロ等準備罪」とは？ (1)組織的犯罪集団が、(2)重大な犯罪を計画し、(3)その計画を実行するために準備行為をした場合、「テロ等準備罪」に該当します。 これにより、実際に犯罪が実行される前に検挙することができ、被害の発生を未然に防止することができます。
What is “crime of preparation for terrorism, etc.”? If (1) an organized criminal group (2) plans a serious crime and (3) takes preparatory acts to carry out the plan, it falls under the crime of "preparing for terrorism, etc." This makes it possible to arrest criminals before they are actually committed, and prevent damage from occurring.

Most shameful irresponsible 'superpower' borrowing more money for 45 day budget extension. Refusing to do their jobs to enact a proper annual budget. Guaranteed in a month they'll repeat this same sad act, as they have become accustomed to. It is beyond pitiful and should be illegal for them to collect pay for work they are not performing, dereliction of duty.

So now the republicans did it up to the hours before the government shut down only a bully threatens you when you're taking food away from children's mouths 50 year olds cut food stamps and other issues of poor people so now that the vote has passed with the help of the democrats 90 votes voted against keeping the government open and all of those 90 votes were republicans I'm very disappointed very sad about this and God is too

What are the Democrats doing. All they ever want to do is spend more and tax more. Never enough. TERM LIMITS NOW. NO PENSION. Cut federal employees 10% a year and increase productivity. Run it like a business. What a disgrace. They are all compromised at some level just a fact.

All Americans are asking is to Close Our Borders.
Take A Look:
Last year, in 2022, improper and mistaken federal payments totaled $247 billion. That’s about $20.5 billion per month, or more than $675 million every, single day.
What exactly is an improper payment? Federal law defines the term as “payments made by the government to the wrong person, in the wrong amount, or for the wrong reason.”
In other words, a corner grocery store has better accounting controls than our $6.82 trillion U.S. federal government had in 2021.
