motion to reconsider objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. now it's up to the senate to vote on the stopgap measure. it does not include extra aid to ukraine. plus 100,000 people have fled nagorno karabakh — meaning the entire ethnic armenian population of the disputed region has left. hello, i'm sumi somaskanda. here in washington, all eyes are on the senate, as they work to avoid a government shutdown of the us government. earlier, the house passed a continuing resolution to keep the government open for an additional 45 days, while they work to pass long term funding. now the senate has to vote to approve it before it heads to the president's desk. this is what house speaker kevin mccarthy had to say — after the bill passed.

just moments ago on the house floor, we passed by overwhelming numbers the ability to keep government open for the next six weeks. you've got to understand why we are here. the senate has produced not one appropriation bill through the floor. the house? more than 70%. discretionary spending has now passed. i do not believe our troops need to be punished for us not getting the work done. so i ask — congress will stay in session the next two weeks, continue to work to get this done. the bill keeps the government's funding at 2023 levels, but only for now. it also freezes the us�*s aid to ukraine. democrats had originally tried to plug this gap with a 6 billion dollar aid package, but that measure was removed from the resolution in order to secure the votes needed to pass it. all of this only lasts for 45 days,

so the us could be back at the same cliff—edge in just over six weeks�* time live now to nicholas wu, congressional reporter for politico. tell us more abuot what kevin mccarthy had to say about this bill — why did he decide to turn white what are we expecting to see? how to net white what are we expecting to see? how to get this _ white what are we expecting to see? how to get this bill _ white what are we expecting to see? how to get this bill across _ how to get this bill across the finish line. it's rushed across the house to the upper chamber this afternoon, so now they are dying the eyes and crossing the t is to make sure that it does something the senate can move as quickly as possible before this crucial funding deadline at midnight today. coming into toda it deadline at midnight today. coming into today it didn't _ deadline at midnight today. coming into today it didn't look _ deadline at midnight today. coming into today it didn't look like - deadline at midnight today. coming into today it didn't look like there . into today it didn't look like there was going to be a deal on the table. tell us more about what kevin mccarthy had to say about all of this and why he decided to work with democrats. hal this and why he decided to work with democrats. ., ., ., , , ., democrats. not at all, this is a deal or a _ democrats. not at all, this is a deal or a bill— democrats. not at all, this is a deal or a bill that _ democrats. not at all, this is a deal or a bill that came - deal or a bill that came together exceptionally quickly. as soon as yesterday, congressional leaders on both sides of the il and both

chambers were predicting a government shutdown would occur because there wasn't any kind of deal on the table. at this morning, mccarthy basically had to make that case to his conference that this was the only way forward. any bill that he was trying to move before wouldn't have been able to make it through the democratic—controlled senate and the democratic—controlled senate and the democratic—controlled senate would not necessarily have been able to move to its own funding to the republican—controlled house. so this is the middle ground between both chambers and a consequence of that plays no ukraine date, at least for now i'll stop —— no ukraine aid. hardliner republicans have said if the speaker of the house where to work with democrats, they would work to remove him from his position. so what do you think this means for the speaker? the what do you think this means for the seaker? , ., ., ., speaker? the question now for the seaker is speaker? the question now for the speaker is how— speaker? the question now for the speaker is how he _ speaker? the question now for the speaker is how he manoeuvres - speaker? the question now for the speaker is how he manoeuvres in l speaker? the question now for the i speaker is how he manoeuvres in the coming weeks when hardliners, like map gates, do the triggered this

motion to make this procedural moment allows any one member of the house to remove the speaker. then the onus is really going to be in democrats for how exactly they handle this since so far they have kind of tossed aside any question about this and how they would handle the motion to vacate. the speaker as a medical, but that could become very real very soon. so we will have to see how that plays out. and, of course, we will be in the same funding deadline issue and another 45 days. funding deadline issue and another 45 da s. ~ ., , funding deadline issue and another 45das. ., , , 45 days. what is kevin mccarthy sa in: 45 days. what is kevin mccarthy saying about _ 45 days. what is kevin mccarthy saying about this, _ 45 days. what is kevin mccarthy saying about this, but _ 45 days. what is kevin mccarthy saying about this, but the - 45 days. what is kevin mccarthy i saying about this, but the prospect of him possibly losing hisjob over this decision? it of him possibly losing his 'ob over this decision?�* this decision? it something that he's proieeted _ this decision? it something that he's projected confidence - this decision? it something that | he's projected confidence around this decision? it something that - he's projected confidence around the last few weeks. to see if they would step forward to try to smoke out his adversaries in the republican conference who have vowed to do this. but so far they haven't triggered that process. and in a way, the successful vote in the house today of the funding bill does

kind of show up the republican leaders support among more moderate members of this conference who had questioned his leadership and perhaps among some democrats who had been waiting for the speaker to put that exactly a belt like we saw today on the house floor. i that exactly a belt like we saw today on the house floor. i want to come back — today on the house floor. i want to come back to _ today on the house floor. i want to come back to the _ today on the house floor. i want to come back to the point you - today on the house floor. i want to come back to the point you made i come back to the point you made about ukraine aid, that it is not in the stopgap bill that passed. this is something that many democrats really wanted. the white house has said it expects kevin mccarthy to bring a separate bill to the floor to prep didn't provide additional aid to ukraine. what is the next step than if aid to ukraine is passed? step than if aid to ukraine is assed? ,, ., ., , ., passed? senators right now in the u- er passed? senators right now in the upper chamber— passed? senators right now in the upper chamber are _ passed? senators right now in the upper chamber are talking - passed? senators right now in the upper chamber are talking about | upper chamber are talking about doing some kind of stand—alone ukraine funding bill in order to get around this whole process. but at the same time, this is something that conservatives in the house have revolted over the whole time. they don't want any additional ukraine funding or at least, you know, and the broad trenches that we have seen

it. so they say is going to be another difficult dynamic for the speaker to navigate between the different wearing factions of his conference who are ukraine hawks, some of them don't want spending money on more aid and not to mention many of the pro—ukraine democratic lawmakers who wear it really looking to this package to see this funding go out the door for ukraine. {lick go out the door for ukraine. click last question _ go out the door for ukraine. click last question for _ go out the door for ukraine. click last question for you, _ go out the door for ukraine. click last question for you, what will you be looking for out of the senate we expect them to take up this boat very soon a. expect them to take up this boat very soon a— expect them to take up this boat very soon a. well, i am looking to see how quickly — very soon a. well, i am looking to see how quickly the _ very soon a. well, i am looking to see how quickly the senate - very soon a. well, i am looking to see how quickly the senate is - see how quickly the senate is actually able to move this bill. the senate is a place where they can move as quickly as they want to and often a deterrent for senators is staying late and staying through the weekend, and that is looking like it might be the case right now. so i think it is very likely the senate will be able to move this bill tonight. will be able to move this bill toniaht. ., ,, ., ., reporterfor reporter for politico. thank you so much for bringing us up to date tonight. much for bringing us up to date toniaht. . ~ much for bringing us up to date toniaht. ., ~ i. much for bringing us up to date toniaht. . ~ i. ., much for bringing us up to date toniaht. . ~' ,, ., ., with me is in the studio

carried the spell overwhelmingly, the democrats voted for this while republicans were the ones that flaked off. we just wanted a clean cr. the problem is that we didn't know if it was clean. you never know what to trust when the speaker is talking. so to drop 71 pages on ice and say, hey, you've got to vote on this in 15 minutes, also i want the amick and people to recognise that the democrats don'tjust sign up on something without at least trying to read it. so our teams worked really hard. we obviously got really creative to give us the space and a time that we needed to make sure that we could review a. what time that we needed to make sure that we could review a.— time that we needed to make sure that we could review a. what do you mean by that? _ that we could review a. what do you mean by that? oh, _ that we could review a. what do you mean by that? oh, there _ that we could review a. what do you mean by that? oh, there were - that we could review a. what do you mean by that? oh, there were a lot| mean by that? oh, there were a lot of creativity — mean by that? oh, there were a lot of creativity fees, _ mean by that? oh, there were a lot of creativity fees, number - mean by that? oh, there were a lot of creativity fees, number one, - of creativity fees, number one, the magic minutes. that is where we were running out of time to debate but we had the leader on the floor, and they get what they call a magic minutes, so that was on the minute left, but it lasted a lot longer than a minute. so while he was on the floor, and i think the majority of the images that you saw, you saw

that there where it democrats that were sitting behind him, but we were in a caucus meeting. so the vast majority of us, there were just a couple of democrats sitting behind him, the vast majority of us were sitting downstairs, we were being briefed on what exactly what was all in this bill, what didn't we get that we would have wanted in the cr. things like that. basically we're going back and forth about what we should do. whether we should support this or not. 0verwhelmingly, we decided that the best thing to do for the american people was to support the. for the american people was to support the-— for the american people was to su--ortthe. ., support the. even without, as has been pointed _ support the. even without, as has been pointed out, _ support the. even without, as has been pointed out, funding - support the. even without, as has been pointed out, funding for- been pointed out, funding for ukraine, and i know many democrats really wanted to see that in this pale, why did you go ahead without that funding? {line pale, why did you go ahead without that funding?— that funding? one thing democrats are ready to _ that funding? one thing democrats are ready to wreck _ that funding? one thing democrats are ready to wreck everything - that funding? one thing democratsj are ready to wreck everything they. and when you compromise that means you don't necessarily always get what you want. we recognise that we are in the minority, but this was definitely a win. what was put on the floor earlier this week that failed would have cut funding by over 30% across the board. that was

a nonstarter. so to get the full funding for the next 45 days is absolutely amazing stop there are some manoeuvres that can be done for ukraine that we have not talked about publicly to kind of get us through. but we are going to continue to look towards that, in any people to understand that a ukraine is about three the united states. it's about for the world. we cannot allow countries such as russia to run it ramshackle and violate international law and go and do whatever they want to. intent violate international law and go and do whatever they want to.— do whatever they want to. went to some of those _ do whatever they want to. went to some of those manoeuvres - do whatever they want to. went to some of those manoeuvres look i do whatever they want to. went to i some of those manoeuvres look like? would scenes some ukrainian voices on twitter saying the time of the us standing behind ukraine is over. i disagree. i don't know that i am really at liberty to discuss, but i will say that as of today, they should not worry. give us a few more days, if we don't quite get somewhere, then that would be the time to wake him as of right now, they are not in a bad situation per

period. if there was, then mccarthy wouldn't have been a 15 times before. so you vacate the chair, then what he did because i get they vote to do that, with democrats apart kevin mccarthy to stay in their position? i can say about what other democrats would do. i am not in a position to support him. he has not done what he was supposed to do, in my opinion. we would most likely have to have some assurances that he cannot wiggle out of before we as a caucus decided that we would save him yet again. share caucus decided that we would save him yet again-— caucus decided that we would save him yet again. are we going to be in the same place _ him yet again. are we going to be in the same place in _ him yet again. are we going to be in the same place in 45 _ him yet again. are we going to be in the same place in 45 days? - him yet again. are we going to be in the same place in 45 days? in i him yet again. are we going to be in the same place in 45 days? in my i the same place in 45 days? in my oinion, the same place in 45 days? in my opinion. we _ the same place in 45 days? in my opinion, we are. _ the same place in 45 days? in my opinion, we are. are you - opinion, we are. are you disappointed _ opinion, we are. are you disappointed by - opinion, we are. are you disappointed by that? i opinion, we are. are you | disappointed by that? i'm opinion, we are. are you i disappointed by that? i'm very disappointed. _ disappointed by that? i'm very disappointed, but _ disappointed by that? i'm very disappointed, but can - disappointed by that? i'm very disappointed, but can you i disappointed by that? i'm veryl disappointed, but can you know disappointed by that? i'm very - disappointed, but can you know what, we live to fight another day today. congresswoman, thank you so much for joining us here in studio to talk with us about this today. here in studio to talk with us about this toda . . ~ here in studio to talk with us about this toda . ., ~ , ., almost the entire population of nagorno—karabakh has fled the region since azerbaijan reclaimed the territory last week. that's more than 100,000 ethnic armenians who have navigated the winding, mountainous road to armenia. azerbaijan has said it wants to reintegrate the area

and treat its residents as equals, but an armenian spokesman said this was just a "lie". the un refugee agency has said that many of those fleeing "are hungry, exhausted and need immediate assistance". the mass exodus has prompted the united nations to send its first mission to the territory in about 30 years, to assess the humanitarian situation. nagorno—karabakh had been controlled by armenian separatists for three decades, but is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan. bbc�*s south caucasus and central asia correspondent has more. outside the humanitarian registration centre here in goris which has been working 24/7 since the influx from nagorno—karabakh began last sunday. there is still a lot of people in need of help with more than 100,000 people being registered. now, there's hardly anyone left inside the nagorno—karabakh enclave which came under azerbaijani control. baku's so—called anti—terror operation against the separatist

ethnic armenian authorities inside nagorno—karabakh lasted just 24 hours. karabakh armenians had surrendered and have now largely been disarmed. their former leaders are being arrested one by one by azerbaijan, which accused them of terrorism. their republic, which existed for 32 years but was never recognised by the international community, ceased to exist. 0ur correspondent reporting for us there. in other news... zimbabwe's state media is reporting that six people have died and another 15 are trapped after a mine collapsed. the bay horse gold mine is around 100 kilometers or 62 miles west of the capital harare. zbc television is reporting that thirteen miners have escaped and efforts to reach those trapped underground are ongoing. student loan repayments restart in the us sunday. more than 28 million borrowers

are on the hook again after a three year pandemic—era break. the biden administration's plan to cancel student debt was blocked by the supreme court injune. now the white house says it's planning to provide some relief with an income—based payment program and temporary leniency for students who miss payments over the next year. the department ofjustice has charged an irs consultant over leaking tax returns for thousands of the country's wealthiest people to news organizations. according to the doj, 38—year—old charles littlejohn allegedly stole information while working as a contractor at the irs. several media organizations are reporting that the data included tax information on former president donald trump. it's one year since russia's illegal annexation of four ukrainian territories, a decision that sparked almost universal condemnation. today president putin defended the move and claimed that russia had become stronger for it. from moscow our russia editor steve rosenberg reports. a year ago, he'd proclaimed the annexation of four

ukrainian regions. today, vladimir putin said russia had become stronger as a result. "together, we can meet any challenge." together, they streamed towards red square, a highly organised show of support for the annexation that only two countries have recognized — syria and north korea. "it all belongs to us now," yelina says. "we restored part of our historic motherland." "but it's ukrainian territory," i say. "it's russia. 0nly russia." flags distributed — cue the patriotic concert. in the absence of victory, this was all about creating the impression of victory, a dizzying sense of achievement,

so that russians believe that the last 19 months of pain haven't been in vain. so, the kremlin tells them that their country has got bigger, stronger, when in reality, the invasion of ukraine has gone badly wrong for russia. one recent example — the ukrainian missile attack on russia's black sea fleet headquarters in occupied crimea. it showed how moscow's struggling to defend strategically important targets. but there's no change of plan. in ukraine, russia fights on. the army says it's recruited an extra 300,000 volunteers. president putin is pushing on with the war and confrontation with the west. how far is putin prepared to go now to achieve the victory? to the end. to whatever that end is. he's not going to give up. he's not going to waver. he's not going to blink.

he's not going to make concessions. so putin putin's waiting for the west to blink first? absolutely. he's waiting it out. the kremlin leader apparently believing that time is on russia's side. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. moving to pakistan, investigations are underway into two deadly explosions on friday which killed more than 60 people. the first explosion was near a mosque in the southwestern province of balochistan as people celebrated the birth of the prophet muhammad. police say at least 59 people were killed there, with another 50 injured. police suspect it was a suicide attack targeting the religious gathering in mastung city. balochistan, pakistan's largest province, has suffered mutiple attacks from groups including the pakistani taliban and islamic state group. and in a separate explosion, at least five people are reported to have died at a blast at a mosque near the city of peshawar. saher baloch has this report from mustang in balochistan. family members are showing up at the blast site in mastung to look for the remains of their loved ones. this man named habibullah came here looking for his cousin.

translation: he's my cousin. his name is fidel hussein. i was at home yesterday. he told me he was leaving for work, but he didn't go and came to this congregation with his friends instead. his number is switched off since then and i can't connect with him. he ran towards the site when he heard the blast. translation: up to this time, there have been no results i from the number of fact finding inquiries into the blasts. at least the findings should tell us who is responsible. nobody claims responsibility for these blasts. this man here is a former city administrator. he told me he lost four members of his family in friday's explosion. translation: i called my

nephew 4 to 5 times, i but he did not pick up his phone. i called his brotherl and then his father. i knew they went to the annual celebrations of prophet's birth| anniversary every year and realised they were all dead. _ there should be an investigation on the role of those _ deployed for our security. the police officers that i spoke with over here, they are not taking any names any more because since the time they named pakistani taliban and they backed off from it and they said that they have nothing to do with this incident at all, the police has not said anything at all about who could be responsible for this. so for the time being, the people over here still have a lot of questions that need answering. voting has ended in slovakia's parliamentary election: with inital exit polls suggesting liberals leading in results. voters chose between pro—russia former prime minister robert fico, and the pro—west progressive

slovakia party.fico is a populist who has promised to stop all military aid to kyiv. fico was forced to step down as prime minister following the murder of investigative journalist the progressive slovakia party would likely continue to support ukraine, the e—u, green policies, and lgbtq rights .however, a coalition government may still be needed. in the uk prime minister, rishi sunak, has arrived in manchester ahead of the conservative party conference. but it will be a mixed reception for him, as more than 30 of his own mps have said they won't support any policies that lead to higher overall taxes. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley is in manchester. he told us more. is it time to cut - taxes, prime minister? can rishi sunak get his party back on the front foot? will hsz ever reach - manchester, prime minister? or are questions, many of them from his own mps, proving too much of a distraction? conferences are for leaders to set the political agenda, but they often find their mps

want to do the same. hello. liz truss isn't going away. she's one of more than 30 mps putting pressure on the prime minister over tax. i think my constituents will understand that, with tax at a 75—year high, that they shouldn't go any higher. what is really required is for the government to create growth in the economy. you don't do that by increasing taxes. you can't tax yourself rich. you can't even spend yourself rich. there are former prime ministers also chipping in on hs2. borisjohnson and theresa may both say it needs to reach manchester, even though many think that will be cancelled by rishi sunak. there's been a lot of speculation in the media. you want me to, but you wouldn't expect me to comment on media speculation. we are getting on with delivering the project and that's all i have to say. rishi sunak is going to spend the next few days here trying

to tell us all he's focused on the big challenges the country faces, that, even if the answers are difficult, he's going to tackle the big questions. but the conservatives are well behind in the polls. they are facing an uphill struggle and many here are asking, is this part of a big vision orjust a ploy to find something to win back voters? rishi sunak may have steadied the conservative party. it's certainly calmer than under some of his predecessors. but there are still divisions. there is still pressure, and we'll see a lot more of it in the next few days. to the maldives now... a pro—china candidate, mohamed muizzu, has won the second round of the presidential election in the maldives. the incumbent, mohamed solih, conceded defeat in a post on x, formally known as twitter. the vote was seen as a referendum on whether the maldives should rebuild relations with india, or seek closer ties with china. here's our david waddell on what's at stake for voters in the maldives. it is a tiny nation of half a million people spread across 187 inhabited islands. there are a further 1000 uninhabited. but the number of tourists

who arrive there dwarfs the number of people who live there. they are attracted by the fantastic climate for several months of the year, and these beautiful locales, that they come to enjoy. 50 years ago, the maldives was one of the world's poorest countries. but that has all changed as the country recognised it needed to build resources to secure a future for its people. for now, the country in enjoys a strategically important position in the middle of the indian ocean, one of the world's busiest east— west shipping lanes. india, a traditional benefactor of the country, and china, are seeking to build influence there, and this election is largely about the question of which regional superpower should be able to take precedence. the outgoing president solih has turned his country to face india, in recent years, after a period of borrowing heavily from china. he will stay in office until a successor is inaugurated in november. for his part, mohamed muizzu is likely to lean back to china. it is no surprise that neither policy is universally popular. india and china are locked in an ongoing geostrategic struggle. the maldives occupies

a place of interest, but it is a country with little clout, so, elections are always a time for its people to face big choices. before we go, police in slovakia have issued a fine after a speeding car appeared to have a dog behind the wheel. officers in a village posted these images on facebook, showing a brown hunter dog in the driver's seat of a skoda. the driver claimed his pet had suddenlyjumped onto his lap — but a police video appeared to show otherwise. stay with us here on bbc news — we're keeping an eye on capitol hill as the senate prepares to vote on that stopgap measure. back at the top of the next hour. hello. it's going to stay quite warm for the foreseeable future. the weather, though, a bit of a mixed bag. we had plenty of damp weather on saturday and we're also forecasting rain at least for a time on sunday.

but bright weather, i think, for the majority of us. now, here's the satellite picture, a conveyor belt of clouds stretching from the southwest spreading across the uk. that's the weather front. to the south of it, we've got that warm and quite humid airstreaming in. that means a lot of mist and murk around some southwestern and western coasts through the early hours. and you can see where the rain is around parts of wales, into north western england and across parts of northern england too. but a lot of dry weather as well, though, quite overcast. temperatures, 7:00 in the morning, 17 celsius in the south, about 15 celsius there in newcastle, so a really mild start to the day. now here's the forecast for the morning, you can see where it's raining from wales through northern england. a lot of sunshine for scotland and northern ireland. a beautiful morning and afternoon with highs possibly even up to 20 celsius around the scottish borders and also newcastle, 23—24 celsius across east anglia and the south east. so temperatures are going to be more like august, really.

now into monday, the weather front still here. it's trailing way out into the atlantic. it keeps spreading over us. so, again, a chance of some rain, i think in the form of quite heavy showers, even a crack of thunder is possible. there'll be a few showers around western parts of scotland, but i think a little bit fresher here with these atlantic winds, 15 celsius in glasgow, still 20—23, maybe 24 celsius in london and the southeast. now, here's tuesday's weather map, and you can see quite a few isobars there. that means a feral breeze blowing off the atlantic. it's going to be more or less a westerly. but high pressure is fairly close by, that that high pressure will be building across the uk. so here's tuesday, then a few showers across many western and northern areas. i think it'll feel a little bit fresher around these western coasts, 16—17 celsius. we may nudge to about 20 celsius or so in london, but i think it's the teens for most

of us on tuesday. and here's a snapshot of the week, and you can see that the best of the weather across the south of the country. but overall, actually, not too bad with a few showers here and there.

this is bbc news. we will have the headlines for you

at the top of the arrow. straight after this programme. —— the top of the hour. as the summer draws to a close has ukraine made the progress that people had hoped for? our world has secured unique access to one ukrainian unit to find out. loud bang as the country beds in for the long war while also trying to come to terms with profound trauma and loss, what impact is it having on ukrainian attitudes towards their enemy? we hear how the experience of the long war is dividing families... ..and howa hardening of attitudes make some think
