US Senate passes deal aimed at ending longest ever government shutdown
WASHINGTON — A deal aimed at ending the US government shutdown has passed the Senate, paving the way for the record-breaking impasse to be broken.After a weekend of negotiations in Washington, a minority of Democrats joined with Republicans and voted in favour of an agreement.The vote is a procedural first step towards passing a compromise to fund the government since it ran out of money 1 October.It will need to clear several more hurdles — including a vote from the House of Representatives — before federal employees and services return, but it is the first serious sign of progress after 40 days of deadlock. The Senate is expected to return for further debate at 11:00 local time (16:00 GMT) on Monday.The current shutdown is the longest on record in the US, and until this weekend it...

Many SNAP recipients remain in limbo as lingering shutdown, court battles jeopardize their access to food
WASHINGTON — Tens of millions of Americans who rely on the nation’s largest federal food assistance program have been caught in a weekslong swirl of Trump administration pronouncements, court orders and anxiety since the US government shutdown has called their ability to buy groceries into question.Some recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, the program formerly known as food stamps, have received their full benefits this month, while others have only received a fraction of their usual allotment, while still others remain in limbo, uncertain if or when their payments will arrive.In response, a group of Democratic-led states and a coalition of cities, nonprofits, unions and small businesses have launched fast-moving legal challenges seeking to restore full...

BBC director general and head of news resign over misleading edit of Trump speech
LONDON — Two top leaders at the BBC resigned on Sunday amid an escalating scandal over impartiality and bias that plunged Britain’s public broadcaster into one of its biggest crises in recent years.The BBC’s most senior executive, director general Tim Davie, and the chief executive of the news division, Deborah Turness, both quit after the leak of a deeply critical memo that, among other things, revealed that the BBC had misleadingly edited a speech by US President Donald Trump to make it appear that he had directly called for violence on January 6, 2021.In a note to staff on Sunday afternoon, Davie said his resignation was “entirely my decision.” He added that as director general, he took “ultimate responsibility” for mistakes made by the BBC.Turness said the controversy...

A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket is fueled for launch with NASA's Escapade mission at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on November 9
Landmark Mars mission delayed by weather
CAPE CANAVERAL — New Glenn, the towering orbital rocket that Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin designed to compete with SpaceX’s dominant Falcon rockets, is back for its second launch ever — this time with a job to send twin spacecraft on a long, winding trip to Mars.The 322-foot (98-meter) rocket was set to take off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida during an 88-minute launch window that opened at 2:45 p.m. ET on Sunday. But Blue Origin revealed during a livestream that cloud cover rolled into the area, preventing liftoff. (Rockets often seek to avoid clouds because flying through one that is electrified can actually trigger a lightening strike.)“We’re reviewing opportunities for our next launch attempt based on forecasted weather,” the company said in a social media...

'Chaos has gone' — quiet streets on Texas border after Trump crackdown
EL PASO — The Trump administration has beefed up enforcement in the El Paso area as well as across the length of the entire US-Mexico border.In Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland, the immigration debate has spilled into the streets, sparking almost daily demonstrations while immigration agents ramp up arrests.But in El Paso — a city in Texas on the US-Mexico border — the streets are unusually quiet.A year after the BBC last visited the border to understand the impact of the migrant crisis on the border, sites that were once teeming with migrants lay largely silent.Just a few years ago, as many as 2,500 migrants once camped outside the city's historic Sacred Heart Catholic church. Many lined the streets sleeping on donated blankets, idling while they waited for food and water to...

Indiana homeowner under review after fatal shooting of house cleaner at wrong address
WHITESTOWN, Indiana — US authorities are reviewing whether to file charges against a homeowner who shot and killed a house cleaner who mistakenly arrived at the wrong address in an Indianapolis suburb. Police said they found 32-year-old Maria Florinda Rios Perez dead in her husband’s arms on the front porch of a Whitestown home shortly before 7 a.m. Wednesday. Officers had been responding to a report of a possible home invasion, though investigators say the couple did not appear to have entered the house. The case has been formally submitted to the Boone County Prosecutor’s Office, which will determine whether criminal charges are warranted. Police have not identified the occupants of the home or the person who fired the shot, calling it a “complex, delicate, and evolving case,”...

US flight cancellations top 1,400 as shutdown forces nationwide air traffic cuts
WASHINGTON — More than 1,400 flights to, from, or within the United States were canceled Saturday after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered airlines to reduce traffic amid the ongoing federal government shutdown. Nearly 6,000 additional flights were delayed, down from more than 7,000 on Friday, according to FlightAware. Earlier in the week, the FAA announced plans to cut air travel capacity by up to 10% at 40 of the nation’s busiest airports as unpaid air traffic controllers report fatigue and staffing shortages. The cuts are being phased in, beginning with a 4% reduction Friday, rising to 6% by Nov. 11, 8% by Nov. 13, and reaching the full 10% by Nov. 14. Saturday marked the 39th day of the longest government shutdown in US history, with Republicans and Democrats still...

Trump says future meeting with Putin still possible after Budapest summit cancellation
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump said Friday there is still a possibility he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin after their planned summit in Budapest, Hungary, was abruptly canceled last month. “There is always a chance,” Trump told reporters while hosting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban at the White House. Later, speaking in the Cabinet Room, Trump said the meeting did not take place because “the Russians don’t want to stop yet.” “I think they will. I think it’s taken a big toll on Russia — big toll on both countries, obviously — but it’s taken a big toll,” he said. When asked if Budapest would remain the preferred location for a future meeting with Putin, Trump replied affirmatively. “I’d like to keep it in Hungary, in Budapest. That...

US flights face 20% cuts if shutdown continues, warns Transportation Secretary
WASHINGTON — Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned Friday that US flights could be reduced by as much as 20% if the ongoing government shutdown continues, with an initial 10% cut set to take effect next week. “We are going to implement a 10% reduction in flights over the course of the next week. And again, that is from the data that we see from our safety team at the FAA,” Duffy told Fox News. He cited staffing shortages as a major cause of flight delays, noting that many air traffic controllers are calling in sick due to not being paid. “They’re being forced to take secondary jobs again, whether it’s waiting tables or driving Uber instead of coming to towers and doing their day jobs,” he said. Duffy cautioned that if the shutdown persists, flight reductions could rise...
