first, breaking news out of las vegas. police have charged a man with a 1996 murder, police have arrested a man in the deadly 1996 drive—by shooting of tupac shakur. he was hit four times in a drive—by shooting — until now, no—one had ever been charged in connection with his death. the reported arrest was made two months after police searched a home near to the location the killing happened — at a property linked to a man who had previously said he witnessed the shooting from a car. more on that breaking news including a press conference on this that we will bring you live later this hour. we will be coming back to the developing story. let us go to the us shut down.

time is quickly running out for the us to avoid a government shutdown. at midnight eastern time tomorrow the us government will run out of money to fund itself — unless congress can agree a last—minute deal. if the story sounds familiar — that's because, it is. it would be the twenty second time in the past fifty years that us government services have had to be shut down because of a budget deadlock in congress. the last time — in early 2019 — saw a month of widespread disruption to the world's largest economy. and as things stand — it looks like neither side is ready to budge on their demands. here's our reporter azadeh moshiri to explain. in the last few hours kevin mccarthy has brought his short term funding bill to the floor in an attempt to try and extend funding through to october 31st and buy some extra time. it filled with more than a dozen members of his own party refusing to back it. —— failed. two parties

the senate and the house that did not go through. the parties are blaming each other and you will have a government shutdown that is led by the democrats that is a democratic president and so, the presidential agenda would not be able to move forward in all of the agents, even the department of labour will not be able to do protections of wages for workers everything that the democratic white house wants to get done will not be able to get done. at the same time, it's not good for republicans either because that is her most of the blame is going in today's measure failed in the house and i was put forward by republicans and i was put forward by republicans and so, they're able to say that we were willing to negotiate, we put this forward, don't blame us but still, a lot of people are going to

be blaming republicans this time around. if there is a shutdown, how long could it go on? markets are hoping it will be a short one, but memories remain fresh of the longest shutdown in us history, lasting 35 days in late 2018 over president donald trump's insistence on $5.7 billion for a wall on the border with mexico. how long could this go on? have been so man of how long could this go on? have been so many of the — how long could this go on? have been so many of the shutdowns _ how long could this go on? have been so many of the shutdowns they - so many of the shutdowns they lasted and there was one and 2018 are just a few hours and then there was the one that you mentioned in late 2018 and a long range what we're looking at here is no one to tell right now, if the shutdown does happen, then the law makers have nothing else to do but prioritise coming to some sort of agreement and it's hard to imagine what it will look like right now but it could be hours, could be more than a month. it

and keefe davis writes that he was in the car when tupac was shot and he went on a tv show and said that he went on a tv show and said that he actually handed the gun to his nephew, orlando anderson who shot. so, there was a hard evidence they needed and they didn't have hard evidence prior to his book and the second he put that in writing and admitted publicly and in writing, and they have a hard evidence to then have probable cause to search his house and they found the clock that tupac was shot with an electronic evidence —— glock and everything else he was doing. and they got him on his own stupidity, basically. they got him on his own stupidity, basicall . . . they got him on his own stupidity, basicall . , , ., ., ., , basically. this is extraordinary. this happened _ basically. this is extraordinary.

all these years of gone by and there is a new sheriff and i would like to say there is a new sheriff in town and keefe davis was basically living in las vegas and how dumb is that. and they searched his house and based upon his book and they are able to find more evidence and they had a grand jury, the case before the grand jury had a grand jury, the case before the grandjury and had a grand jury, the case before the grand jury and they handed in the indictment. and we are going to see a trial no doubt. but theyjust weren't, back early on they simply weren't, back early on they simply were not interested in the information that i got from the cops was they thought it was going to go away and he did not. the case just got bigger. tt

and really good to talk to you about this. a man in his 60s has been arrested after the felling of the sycamore tree felling. also arrested with the felling of the tree which is the uk's was celebrated and stood before the wall and was a beloved landmark to recap that breaking news, a man and his 60s has been arrested by officers investigating the felling officers investigating the felling of the world famous sycamore gap tree in northumberland. we will bring you more as we get it. while republicans and democrats continue to tussle over funding, donald trump and a number of his republican presidential rivals in california for a tea party conference. it comes

just two days after a heated televised debate which the former president refused to attend. we're expecting donald trump to start a 90 minute speech very shortly and we will dip into that when it happens. mark williams is a republican strategist and joins me now from washington. how important is this convention? the california gop say it's the state party's biggest convention ever with over 1000 people attending including 4 presidential hopefuls. i think at the end of the day, it is good for sound bites but not much more when you look at the path to a nomination you'll hopefully consider california to be a must get on that path but fresh off the heels of the debate this week, there are folks

who were going to look to try to continue the momentum and present trouble tried to continue some of his momentum as well. he is the defective leader at this point although no ballots have been cast and again, they will try to make the most out of what i think is a rather sound bites goal. in most out of what i think is a rather sound bites goal.— most out of what i think is a rather sound bites goal. in an election, 54 electoral floats _ sound bites goal. in an election, 54 electoral floats and _ sound bites goal. in an election, 54 electoral floats and reliably - electoral floats and reliably democratic and general elections. but it appears that the state is clearly still significant in terms of the role it plays in the republican primary. of the role it plays in the reublican rima . ~ ., ., republican primary. when you go to the maths when _ republican primary. when you go to the maths when he _ republican primary. when you go to the maths when he gets _ republican primary. when you go to the maths when he gets to - republican primary. when you go to l the maths when he gets to republican primaries, yes, it is worth a good number of boats and what have you, but i don't think the winners really

police say cannabis farms are driving a major increase in cases of electricity theft in england and wales. electricity theft is the tampering or bypassing of meters to avoid paying for energy. thefts have grown by more than 75 per cent since 2012. you're live with bbc news. here in the uk two people have died following a bus crash in the north west of england. a coach carrying schoolchildren, overturned on a motorway, this morning. police have confirmed that the two people who died were a 14—year—old schoolgirl and a coach driver. a local children's hospital, had declared a major incident. it said, it's treating several people. about 50 others were assessed at the scene. police were called to the m53 motorway in the wirral —

near liverpool — just after eight o'clock, when the incident happened. our correspondentjudith moritz is there and sent this report. it's the school run which ended in tragedy. the children on this bus should have been safely on their way to lessons, but they never made it. just after 8:00 this morning, in rush hour on the m53 motorway on merseyside, this coach taking pupils to two different schools overturned. all three emergency services raced to the scene, including a fleet of ambulances with so many children on board. a major incident was declared. we understand there were 54 people, including the driver on the bus. and sadly, i can confirm that the driver and a 14 year old schoolgirl have died. two children were taken from the scene to alder hey, children's hospital. all local hospitals were put on alert and a temporary centre for the wounded was set up. we have taken a number of patients to surrounding hospitals to be treated for minor injuries. 50 children were transported to a casualty clearing centre

at the emergency service training centre in wallasey. of those 50, 39 have now been discharged. the remainder have been taken to hospital for further treatment. the children were going to two neighbouring schools, the boys to cul de grange grammar school and the girls to the neighbouring west kirby grammar school, where the teenager who died is thought to have been a pupil. trauma support is being offered at both schools, especially for children who were travelling on other buses in convoy with the one that overturned and who saw the crash happen. the m53 motorway in wirral has been closed all day. whilst the emergency services work to recover the bus and find out what caused it to crash. no other vehicle is thought to have been involved. this is one of the bridges which runs over the motorway and you can see that merseyside police have cordoned it off. they tell us they need to secure this entire area whilst their investigations are continuing.

tonight two families are grieving and with a large number of children impacted, both physically and emotionally. two school communities are reeling. dianne feinstein, a veteran democratic party senator representing the state of california, has died at ninety years old. ms feinstein had been in poor health for some time and announced earlier this year that she would not run for re—election in 2024. she became san francisco's first female mayor in 1979 and took office in the us senate in 1992. she was the first woman alongside congresswoman barbara boxer to be elected to the senate from california. thank you forjoining us. diana was

a legendary figure, the longest—serving woman in the senate, how would you describe the way that she carried herself in the way she operated yourself as a lawmaker? she was an operated yourself as a lawmaker? 5te: was an icon of the us senate and perhaps unfortunately a bygone icon. she was a through and through democrat but a moderate democrat who believed in civil relations with the other party and working as hard as possible with the other party to do peoples business. that kind of relationship seems to of gone by the boards in these days of extreme polarisation as we are seeing a handful of radical republican house members holding up the entire

federal budget and threatening a shutdown of the government, the kind of thing that would absolutely have a poll. bi; of thing that would absolutely have a oll. �* , of thing that would absolutely have aoll. j a poll. by the contrast -- appalled dianne feinstein. _ a poll. by the contrast -- appalled dianne feinstein. she _ a poll. by the contrast -- appalled dianne feinstein. she raised - a poll. by the contrast -- appalled dianne feinstein. she raised many uncomfortable issues like the us interrogation practices and she often attracted criticism from both sides of the political sphere but this is about what she really believed in.— this is about what she really believed in. ., . , . . believed in. she was firm and what she believed _ believed in. she was firm and what she believed in _ believed in. she was firm and what she believed in and _ believed in. she was firm and what she believed in and it _ believed in. she was firm and what she believed in and it didn't - believed in. she was firm and what she believed in and it didn't neatly| she believed in and it didn't neatly fit liberal or conservative. she was a strong supporter of the surveillance legislation that followed 9/11, was also supporter of abortion rights with a singular legislative accomplishments was her

work on the assault weapons ban back in 1994 that unfortunately we have let it lapse. that is why she did not always satisfy the partisans on one side or another and another trait that is become increasingly rare at the time when the most liberal republican is still more conservative than the most conservative than the most conservative democrat. you hinted that this a couple _ conservative democrat. you hinted that this a couple times, _ conservative democrat. you hinted that this a couple times, the - conservative democrat. you hinted that this a couple times, the fact l that this a couple times, the fact that this a couple times, the fact that she operated like this is something we do not see much of any more. what do you think your legacy is in terms of there being more politicians like her? we is in terms of there being more politicians like her?— is in terms of there being more politicians like her? we would hope that in commemoration _ politicians like her? we would hope that in commemoration of- politicians like her? we would hope that in commemoration of her- politicians like her? we would hope i that in commemoration of her death, we might see more civility in our politics, more bipartisanship, more willingness to work across the aisles and sadly, i am not entirely optimistic, the question is, is this

statistics from the met office. as we move to the end of the month and into the start of october, there is more autumn warmth on the way. but that's not the whole story, some rain at times. and on the satellite picture from earlier on today, you can see this area of cloud to the south—west of us. that is tomorrow's weather maker, that will bring some of us some outbreaks of rain. in the short—term, most of today's showers will fade through the night. we will keep some going in the far north of scotland and maybe for western coastal fringes. a few mist patches, but some clear skies overhead, allowing it to turn relatively chilly. nothing unusual, though, for a late september night. saturday morning then, will dawn with this ridge of high pressure and a lot of dry weather, some spells of sunshine. but here comes our approaching weather system. that will start to introduce some high cloud, turning the sunshine hazy. and then as the cloud thickens out towards the west, we will see some outbreaks of rain getting into the north and the west of wales.

northern ireland turning very wet indeed. around lunchtime, that rain then getting into parts of north—west england, southern and central parts of scotland and it will turn relatively windy through the irish sea. temperature—wise, well, about where we were today, actually. north to south, 12 to 20 degrees. now, during saturday night, we will see further outbreaks of rain, one pulse of heavy rain pushing northwards and eastwards across scotland and northern england. and then this next line of rain, some of that could be heavy and thundery as it feeds into parts of wales and northern england. but with these various weather systems, we will be bringing in some humid air from the south. this is where we will start off on sunday morning temperature—wise. actually, a very muggy start — 12 to maybe 17 degrees, first thing. quite misty and murky for some coasts and hills in the west and in the south. some showery rain moving its way across parts of england and wales.

given enough sunshine in the south—east corner, we could see temperatures all the way up to 24 degrees, but even further north, 19 for newcastle, 18 for aberdeen, for scotland and northern ireland — it's a story of sunshine and showers. into next week, quite a mixed weather story. there will be some rain at times, but signs that it could turn warmer again towards the end of the week.
