passage which will be the majority to the democratic party doing that on their own because they have the majority in the senate and we do understand it will be to increase the debt ceiling by about $480,000,000,000 and that will allow spending to be covered until december the third and of course, it is worth mentioning that we talk about the political trauma playing out in dc but this is huge consequences for americans across the country and defaulting with impact so much, people can pick up their social security payments or their social security payments or the military payments and also the rising credit card and mortgage loans and car loans and that sort of things and agencies of also said that they could downgrade the nation standing in all of this at the time or the economy is in a precarious situation. so, this is very welcome to compromise but itjust kicks it

in this situation with her trying to blame each other for the debt, who is responsible for the rising debt and the democrats want to paint, the republicans want to pay the democrats as a party that don't know how to handle debt and the democrats want to say that the republicans are playing russian roulette with american peoples lives. the republicans have raise the debt ceiling before but america has never defaulted in this way before and america has been in this position many times since a bit more bitter now politically but us lawmakers usually get past it.— now politically but us lawmakers usually get past it. thank you very much for that _ usually get past it. thank you very much for that update. _ usually get past it. thank you very much for that update. the - usually get past it. thank you very much for that update. the prime l much for that update. the prime minister has ordered an immediate assessment of the damage caused by an earthquake. at least 15 people, some of them children are said to have died and hundreds more have been injured. the earthquake struck in the early hours of the morning

but as the climate summit approaches, to china continues to grapple with how it can keep its pledges. our correspondent went to the city in southern china to investigate. build, and build big has been the mantra in china for decades. it's in their blood. as we crashed a card game in a near empty shopping mall, granddad told me ten years ago this part of the city was fields. it's everywhere in wuzhou, you hear the trucks, you see the clusters of cranes all evidence of a country that still shifting its people to the cities. this is the top of a 20—floor building. we are surrounded by ones like it, but underneath there's not much

going on, it's pretty much empty. china's solution for years now has been build, build, build. towers like this. more people come to the cities, more jobs for them and more steel, of course, to keep the whole thing up right. but if this country is going to get anywhere near starting to reduce its emissions, at least one part of that equation has got to change. china produced a billion tonnes of steel last year, the most ever. alongside burning coal, it's the most polluting industry here. some of that steel came from these plants in wuzhou. they wouldn't let us in, though, nor talk to us. but we watched from afar as they are expanding. this is home on the 13th floorforfirst time buyer and her boyfriend and this new addition. she told me building makes things better.

atjust19 years old she has two jobs and a mortgage. she is living what china's leader xijinping has called the china dream. the ruling communist party's ambition of a moderately prosperous nation that it still controls, but it's facing competing pressures as it tries to make that dream a much cleaner one. timing is the key issue in all of this. not if china will cut emissions, but when. real estate agent, john, told me his country is an infrastructure monster. it will slow down when it's ready.

build big might not have made china more beautiful, although on some roads you find surprises around the corner. but the people who talk to us were clear, it has made this country better. the communist party leaders here now have to work out how to keep this powerhouse economy growing and stick to their promise of a richer country but make it grow greener and more quickly than it currently is. robin brant, bbc news, wuzhou. wholesale gas prices reached a record high amongst a 40% and a single day. they then went on to

stock market seems to be cheering. that is all we have simply stay with us. hello again. thursday saw the arrival of some very warm air indeed across the uk, with temperatures jumping by seven degrees celsius in places. many of us had quite a bit of cloud, but we had some sunshine. for example, in north wales in denbighshire. and next door to this in flintshire, that was where the warmest place in the country was. 22 degrees celsius the top temperature. that is eight degrees celsius warmer than it should be at this time of the year. the october average is 14 degrees. now, we've had extensive cloud across the north west for both scotland and northern ireland. here, a slow—moving weather front has been bringing rain through thursday. more rain to come overnight into friday, friday night and into saturday, as well, for some across scotland

and northern ireland cos this front is barely budging. furthersouthwards, well, we've got quite a bit of cloud reforming, some mist and fog patches turning quite dense. as well as that, there's a bit of drizzle around. so, quite a murky start to the day for many in england and wales, with that mist and fog and low cloud slow to thin a break. but eventually, come the afternoon, we should start to get some brighter weather through. the exception, well, for northern ireland and scotland, there's more rain here, heaviest in argyll and highland. and we've got a very weak weather front moving into east anglia and south east england. that willjust thicken the cloud up enough to bring occasional spots of light rain or drizzle as well. but otherwise, very mild again, temperatures running into the low 20s. now, this weekend, this cold front will start to push its way southwards. it is a weak front. it will bring some fresher air in from the north and west, which temperatures easing down a few degrees as we go through the weekend. now, saturday, again mist and fog patches to start the day across england and wales, but probably a better chance of seeing some sunshine

through the afternoon. the rain in scotland and northern ireland actually starts to budge, so it should brighten up across the north west of both later in the afternoon, but the rain heading into cumbria and northumberland. that same weather front is this stripe of cloud across east anglia and the south east on sunday. might get an odd spit of rain, but essentially a lot of dry weather on sunday. again with some sunny spells around, a few showers in northern scotland with strengthening winds here. and the temperatures easing down. 14—15 degrees scotland and northern ireland, the far north of england. still 17—19 across england and wales. but it'll continue to get a little bit fresher, those temperatures coming back closer to average in the week ahead.
