live from cnn center, this is "newsroom" with michael holmes. and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm michael holmes at the cnn center in atlanta. appreciate your company. now with just hours to spare, the u.s. senate late on saturday averted a government shutdown by a vote of 88-9. senators passed a house bill that will keep money flowing for another 45 days. the white house sent out a photograph. you see it there of president biden signing the short-term measure into law shortly before the midnight deadline. now, the deal came together with surprising speed in the end with u.s. house speaker kevin mccarthy abruptly changing course and asking democrats for help. the result was a resounding bipartisan passage of a

short-term bill. but many lawmakers on both sides are very unhappy that the final bill did not contain additional u.s. aid to ukraine especially at such a critical moment in the war. still, senate leaders were relieved to have brought this showdown to an end for now. >> it's been a day full of twists and turns, but the american people can breathe a sigh of relief. there will be no government shutdown. democrats have said from the start that the only solution for avoiding a shutdown is bipartisanship. and we're glad that speaker mccarthy has finally heeded our message. in the end more democrats supported this bill in the house than republicans, proving bipartisanship was the best answer all along. >> passing this measure, keeping the lights on, will allow us to return our attention to making

headway on full year appropriations our colleagues have been working on for months and give us the ability to meet supplemental priorities both at home and abroad. therefore i would urge our colleagues to join me in supporting this important step in the right direction. >> cnn's manu raju takes a look now at how the last minute deal unfolded. >> reporter: so after a chaotic day and fears of a shutdown gripped washington for weeks, congress gave final approval on a bill to keep the government open for 45 more days. this after speaker mccarthy changed plans, reversed course, and relied on democratic votes to get this bill out of the u.s. house. for some time speaker mccarthy had wanted to just pass a bill along republican lines, just get republicans onboard, but he struggled amid opposition from a handful of conservative hard liners who refused to give him the votes.

also those same hard liners warned if he decided to work with democrats, that could cost him his job as speaker. at the end of the day after a meeting on cnn with his conference, mccarthy decided to roll the dice, go take on his hard liners directly and try to keep the government open with democratic support. that happened, they passed a bill out of the house that had overwhelming support, bipartisan support. more than half of the house republican conference voted for it. all but one democratic house member voted for it as well. now, then it moved over to the united states senate where the senate approved overwhelming, 88-9 vote. nine republican senators voted against it. it didn't come without controversy. namely speaker mccarthy to not include ukraine aid in this package. the white house it pushed for $24 billion in ukraine aid to be approved for this year. the senate was trying to approve

as part of the bill to keep the government open $6.2 billion of that package. mg mccarthy had a different decision. he decide not to include the ukraine aid as part of this package leaving open the question can congress get approval for aid to ukraine in this critical time in this war against russia. it's unclear if that will happen, but it'll be a major point of contention when congress resumes and deals with the funding issue again in 45 days. this all comes as there's still a threat to mccarthy's speakership. a number of members expressed their dissatisfaction with the handling of the talks. >> i think it's shameful in many, many ways. >> we cannot continue to kick this can down the road. i'm disappointed. we just didn't fight. >> we should have forced them to come to the negotiating table and come to conference and hash out our differences.

>> now, none of those members, though, said they would actually vote to oust speaker mccargy. i asked every single one of them if they're ready to do that. they would not go there raising questions whether efforts to push him out would succeed. matt gaetz has not said specifically he'll file a vote to push him out of the speakership. this is threat that's been over the speaker for some time, and when i asked the speaker earlier today he said bring it on. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. >> joining me now is charlie dent, former republican representative from pennsylvania. good to see you, sir. what do you make of the day unfolded and where do the events of the last week or so leave kevin mccarthy in terms of job security? >> well, it seems to me this ended pretty much how i thought it would end. specifically there would be a bipartisan bill, clean

continuing resolution, or stop gap measure and disaster funding. obviously they kicked the can on ukraine funding, but there would be a bipartisan outcome. i always felt if they had a goal like this, they'd get 300 votes in the house, they got 335, and the senate approved it as it is. obviously mccarthy was under tremendous pressure -- he was under tremendous pressure from his right flank not to engage in a bipartisan solution, but he did the right thing here. i think hakeem jeffries was there as expected to provide a lot of votes and support, and so this is a good outcome. now, that said they're going to have to deal with ukraine funding some time between now and november 15th or 17th, whenever this resolution expires. and they're going have to negotiate the full appropriations bills, all 12 of them for the next fiscal year. they're going to have to do all

that. so we're not done with this problem yet, but at least this buys us some time. >> when you talk about, you know, that right flank, how has mccarthy's deal with the devil, those maga republicans, i mean to just get the job of speaker how has that impacted it? how beholden is he to them, and how is it impacting how the business of running the government is going? >> well, his -- it seems the speaker's modus operandi to this point has been to appease that element, which has empowered them and emboldened them. and i think what he's discovered once again is the more he gives, the less he seems to get from them. so he gave them seats on the house rules committee, house appropriations committee, gave them an impeachment inquiry, and it didn't really translate into any help of these matters of governance like passing the debt ceiling.

mccarthy needs to resort to bipartisanship. i think he has to marginalize those members and the way he does that is by engaging in bipartisan deals with hakeem jeffries. that's the way out. appeasement doesn't work, obviously, and i think the speaker discovered this rather lately, and then of course he did the right thing by putting that bill on the floor earlier today. >> one of the impacts of that right wing is they're obviously determined to keep that funding for ukraine out of the debate and, and that's despite most republicans, not all but a clear majority being in favor of continued support for ukraine and its war with russia. what are the risks of that minority getting its way on the issue of russia but, you know, more generally as well. i mean putin will be delighted by how they've been behaving on ukraine. >> well, sure.

and, again, i think you're correct. there are strong bipartisan majorities in both chambers to support the ukrainian war effort. and where i come from we used to have votes on matters like this. let the majority prevail here. it's absurd a small minority thinks it can dictate its own policy on the overwhelming majority on the congress. well, have the vote. run them over politically on this. they're not going to win, so -- so i think right now it's up to mccarthy to just allow the house and the whole congress to work its will on that issue. and if left to their own devices, it seems congress will indeed fund the ukrainian war effort further. >> the historian timothy snider he's been tweeting a lot about this. i'll read one of his tweets.

he says supporting ukraine is once in a generation chance to make the world safer. ending that support is recklessness for which we'll all suffer in all the conflict that the ukrainians are preventing or making less likely. let us help those who help us. a fair comment, and how does it look to the rest of the world? i think putin obviously loves it if there's arguments over funding ukraine, but it doesn't make the u.s. look good on the international stage, does it? >> no, it doesn't. and clearly investing in ukraine's defense is good for the west. it's good for democracies throughout europe. the ukrainians are doing a magnificent job degrading russia's military capacities, also making it much less likely russia could somehow into a nato country say the baltic states, poland. ukrainians are doing a tremendous service to man kind and certainly to democracies and

doing an enormous amount of damage to the russian military. and by the way russia under putin, their foreign policy objectives seems to be undermine american power and influence wherever they can. well, okay, right back at them. and ukrainians, again, no americans are dying in ukraine. and ukrainians are motivated. they're taking up this fight on their own. this is very good investment -- in my view, a very good investment of american tax dollars to help us make this world a better and safer place. >> really appreciate you staying up late to talk about all of this with us. charlie dent, thank you so much. >> thank you. good night. >> well, as you were discussing, ukraine did get the short end of the stick in the congressional compromise bill. the senate was originally considering more than $6 billion in new aid for kyiv, but in the end the money for ukraine was entirely left out of the stop gap measure mainly because of that opposition from that small group of conservatives on the

right. the move reflected a political reality, though, in the u.s. where according to a cnn poll in july 55% of voters said they opposed sending more aid to ukraine. but senate democrats say they will still keep pushing for more aid. majority leader chuck schumer says when it comes to ukraine, the two top senate leaders are on the same page. >> leader mcconnell and i have agreed to continue fighting for more economic and security aid for ukraine. we support ukraine's efforts to defend its sovereignty against putin's aggression. so thank you. thank you to my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for their excellent work. the bipartisanship here in the senate set the tone for today's result, and i hope it sets the tone for the future. >> one ukrainian lawmaker says she wants to hold u.s. congress members like schumer to their

word. parliament member kara rudig spoke to cnn a short time ago. >> i would like to concentrate on a good thing, and it is there are so much more voices that say we will stand with ukraine for as long as it takes. we will continue to support ukraine for as much as needed, and we know that this is our mutual fight, fight for democratic values. we know that we value bipartisan support, and we have so many friends in u.s. congress that are standing with us and that are fighting for our hosts in the way that we can. i read in the news ukrainian news makers are showing how many people are showing the support for ukraine including president biden, that in his statement

after the shutdown said that support for ukraine cannot go interrupted. in the statements of kevin mccarthy and others who said we have short-term solutions light now, but what it means is the current support for ukraine will continue because there'll be people to operate it and will work on making sure -- >> with kira rudik, a member of the ukrainian parliament speaking with us earlier. while ukraine missed out on additional u.s. aid for now, it plans to put more of its own money into weapons production. kyiv says spending on arms making will increase seven fold next year. ukraine also hosted an international forum on saturday to pitch itself as a future hub for arms manufacturing. cnn's fred pleitgen reports for us u.s. support remains crucial

for ukraine's war effort. >> well, the ukrainians are certainly aware of the skepticism about funding for ukraine as far as weapons are concerned but also as far as money is concerned as well among congressional republicans and the u.s. public. volodymyr zelenskyy was in the united states and asking for more weapons because the ukrainians understand if they're going to stay in the fight against the russians and make headway against the russians, they are going to need a lot more weapons. now, there's some items that the ukrainians have said in the future will be absolutely key to them, for instance missiles is definitely something they want. and of course in the future f-16s to essentially rebuild their air force according to nato standard. they also think those jets are a lot more capable than the ones they're flying right now. but in the short-term ukrainians say it really is ammunition that they need and they certainly need a lot of. one of the interesting things volodymyr zelenskyy made a point

of doing is saying, look, there has been talk of possible corruption in the defense ministry in ukraine. he said nothing of that had to do with weapons that were provided by the united states. and one of the things, of course, he also did was he replaced his defense minister pretty much right before coming to the u.s. and took that new defense minister to the united states to reassure the u.s. that if it gives weapons and when it gives weapons to ukraine, it would be a transparent process. the ukrainians fully understand that without further weapons from the united states and also its partners, they're going to have a very difficult time sustaining some of the high level operations that they're conducting right now. fred pleitgen, cnn, ukraine. still to come on the program, a pro-kremlin leader is heading for a win in slovakia's crucial parliamentary elections. what does that mean for the war in ukraine? we'll have a report coming up. also much more on the new u.s. spending bill.

why funding for ukraine was left out of it and what some lawmakers are planning to do about that.

the u.s. has averted a government shutdown for at least the next 45 days. congress passing a stop gap measure on saturday night with just hours to spare. the bill will keep federal agencies running through mid-november. it will include natural disaster aid but not additional support for ukraine. hard-right conservatives are being leery about continuing to fund kyiv's war as it fights off russian invaders. but many u.s. lawmakers say they will try to approve another funding bill for ukraine at a later date because the stakes are so high. in slovakia a party headed by a pro-kremlin leader is headed for a win in saturday's parliamentary election. preliminary results show former prime minister's party has won more than 23% of the vote while

a significant number -- while a significant number, he'll need a coalition partner to form the government. for more let's go to cnn's scott mcclain live from london. what's interesting, scott, two vastly different candidates, polar opposites have been neck and neck for a while, a progressive candidate and one who wants to cut off aid to ukraine. and it's not looking good for ukraine, is it? >> no, it sure is not. robert is a man who's blamed ukrainian nazis and fascists in his words for provoking russia into war. and under the current government i guess soon to be previous government slovakia has been a very strong supporter of ukraine sending helicopters, artillery systems, air defense systems, you name it. under him it's likely it won't go away right away because as you pointed out he'll need a coalition government. a vast majority of the polls now reporting his party won just

over 23% of the vote, so nowhere close to getting the majority he'd need to govern on his own. he'd need to pair up with another party. he's not ruled out pairing windup the republic party. you can see them there at the bottom at 4.8%. they actually missed out on the threshold of 5% to get seats in parliament. the parliament shares his view on ukraine and russia. the other parties have much more moderate viewsch his likely coalition partner is the third one you see there. that's actually an offshoot of his own smer party. they've been more vague on the ukraine issue. what the leader has said is that on one hand slovakia has given all that it can afford to give ukraine at this point. on the other hand, slovakia is a ammunition manufacturer, and so from a practical standpoint they think they should continue to supply ukraine with ammunition because at the end of the day

it's good for the economy. so fico will need another moderating force to govern and he actually has a track record of being flexible, being pragmatic in order to govern. so as i said likely aid to ukraine is not going to be cut off cold turkey. you have to understand why some of these views are resonating in slovakia right now. fico has framed this as moref a peace initiative, saying that sending weapons to ukraine just prolongs the war that ukrainians can't actually win. slovakia is also dealing with a rising cost of living, inflation. like much of europe they're also hosting some 100,000 ukrainian refugees, all of this draining the public purse. so this message of getting this war over with sooner rather than later is a rather unappealing one. in terms of what happens next, it'll likely take weeks on a

coalition takes place before the dust finally settles. >> research being shown only about i think it's 40% of slovaks think russia is responsible for the war in ukraine, which is pretty incredible given the evidence to the contrary. where does that come from, that pro-russian sentiments? >> it's perhaps a combination of things. of course there are some sort of pan-slovak solidarity at play here. you can also understand they have a soft spot for russia because it was the russians in world war ii that liberated slovakia from the nazis. you've also had political chaos the last few years, infighting, corruption scandals, you name it which has weakened trust in government. so all of this makes for some fertile ground for the russian viewpoint, russian propaganda, misinformation, perhaps disinformation to really take hold in this country.

and what is especially interesting here is that robert fico himself was actually forced out of office back in 2018. how quickly people forget about that. this time around he's branded his party. one of the cam plain slogans is stability and social security. a man forced out some five years ago has managed to successfully rehabilitate his image and pitch himself as the stability candidate here, michael. >> scott mcclain, thanks for that. scott mcclain in london, appreciate it. thousands of israelis celebrated the start of the holiday in the streets in massive protest against the government's planned judicial overhaul. demonstrators carrying flags and a massive banner saying "you shall not divide us." it is the 39th straight week of demonstrations against the far right's legislative clans. in july prime minister benjamin

netanyahu's coalition passed a law that strips the supreme court's right to block government decisions being unreasonable. critics say the law disrupts the balance of power and is dangerous for israel's democracy. well, it took some wrangling but the u.s. house speaker found enough support to pass the house spending bill. we'll have a look at some of the compromises he made when we come back.

the power goes out and we still have wifi to do our homework. and that's a good thing? great in my book! who are you? no power? no problem. introducing storm-ready wifi. now you can stay reliably connected through power outages with unlimited cellular data and up to 4 hours of battery back-up to keep you online. only from xfinity. home of the xfinity 10g network. you're probably not easily persuaded to switch mobile providers for your business. but what if we told you it's possible that comcast business mobile can save you up to 75% a year on your wireless bill versus the big three carriers?

it's true. plus, when you buy your first line of mobile, you get a second line free. there are no term contracts or line activation fees. and you can bring your own device. oh, and all on the most reliable 5g mobile network nationwide. wireless that works for you. it's not just possible. it's happening.

welcome back. you're watching "cnn newsroom" with me, michael holmes. a collective sigh of relief right now after congress narrowly averted a government shutdown, which many were expecting until just a few hours ago. the break through came earlier on saturday when u.s. house speaker kevin mccarthy gave up trying to appease the far-right members of his caucus, instead turn to democrats for help passing a stop gap measure. here's what the speaker to say afterwards about the small group of republicans who have given him so many headaches. >> yeah, i've never seen a conference that won't let you vote for appropriation bill, doesn't wan an omnibus and won't vote for a stop gap measure so the only answer is shutdown and not pay for our troops? i don't want to be a part of that team. i want to be part of a conservative group that gets things done. >> republican congressman buck

admits 45 days isn't very long to pass the remaining spending bills, but he says it's do-able. have a listen. >> i don't think it's a bad thing to have bipartisan votes on some issues. i think the democrats are going to join with moderate republicans any time. we're talking about spending a huge amount of money. i think kevin mccarthy's problem really is his -- the lack of passing 12 bills on time and then getting jammed at the last minute with this. we're going to see at least four appropriations bills in the next two weeks. hopefully those pass. at that point we'll have eight or nine of the 12 bills passed, and that will be a real relief to a lot of us. this 45 days will come a lot quicker than people anticipate and we'll be faced with another crisis. >> well, the white house might rest a little easier tonight avoiding that shutdown, a potential crisis averted at least for a little while.

but cnn white house correspondent mj lee tells us there are still questions that need addressing. >> reporter: just hours ahead of a midnight deadline for a government shutdown, president biden signing into law a government funding bill that would fund the government for 45 days. the white house has made a deliberate decision some time ago to take a hands-off approach as the process unfolded on capitol hill. the messaging that we have been hearing from the white house over the last few days has really been this is the house republicans' problem to solve. they made a political calculation that if the government were to shutdown at midnight, the house republicans would end up shouldering much of that political blame. of course there is a sigh of relief tonight here at the white house that a government shutdown has been averted, but there are two very big outstanding questions. first is how the government is going to potentially secure more funding for ukraine.

that has been a big priority for many democrats and white house officials as well. and it's also just not clear whether or not a situation like this is again going to unfold exactly 45 days from now. but, again, there is a huge sigh of relief that a government shutdown that the white house has been bracing for and has been preparing for has now been av averted. cnn, mj lee, the white house. >> all right, let's get some more on what some of the longer term repercussions might be. a political analyst and author and president of the global policy institute at layola mirmount university in los angeles. the speaker relying on democrats to get this crisis averted for now. what mice might he pay with the so-called maga wing of the party? less than happy he got those democrats involved. >> that's right, the deal will come at a cost.

i think the cost is just around the corner. he had to deal with the democrats, bring them into the tent and make a deal. the hostage taking that was so obvious and powerful by the far right republican party holding mccarthy and republican parties hostage to their demands, finally it was just too much and mccarthy had to buckle in and cave in with the democrats and make a deal with them. he was forced to abanden his own right-wing party, but i don't think he broke their back. i think the children's crusade is going to go on and may seek revenge very quickly and the revenge would be in the process i think of challenging him for the speakership. that i think would be the most and most immediate phase of the soap opera. >> looking at the implication and how the rest of the world looks in at the chaos that has overtaken government anyways, there was nearly a default on the debt recently.

the whole shutting down the government seems to happen every new month. moody's is the last ratings agency to rate the government aaa with a stable outlook, but has said if there'd been a shutdown it would hurt that credit rating. what is the real world cost to america's reputation in the global economy of this happening not just this time but over and over again? >> is this any way for the world's super power to behave? it sends a very bad message. we always had a kind of dysfunctional process where budgeting is concerned, and normal politics we have a lot of deadlock and compromise that's required, but we're seeing real dysfunction. we're seeing the hyper-partisanship getting uglier and uglier, and you saw the name-calling. the funnier part was the name-calling was really done by a lot of the moderate republicans against the

right-wing republicans, but it sends a terrible message to the world. at a time when democracy is being challenged across the globe, when china is rising, when russia is asserting itself we need to with the europeans be strong on democracy and show that it can work. this doesn't send that message. >> and speaking of russia, when it comes to ukraine and funding to support ukraine being stripped away to get this over the line, why do you think there is growing disdain for supporting ukraine on the right flank of the republican party when not supporting ukraine is not only a threat to europe but plays directly into, you know, vladimir putin's hands? >> well, i think there are a couple of reasons. one, money. two, there are a number of republicans on the far-right who admire putin and find him to be the kind of leader they admire. putin and leaders of hungary and poland who are strong men, illiberal leaders, they like that so they want to support

that. and ukraine is standing in the way. on the other hand, it is absolutely essential for the west to support ukraine. the west has to come together. a lot of americans say it's too much money, we don't want to go that far, we've already spent enough. you know, you can never spend enough on security, period. >> yeah. and, you know, you stop spending what's the result of that? going back to the sort of maga wing we've seen the power of that small but extreme group dictating what's happened in the house. telling mccarthy what to do. in the senate you've got a situation where one senator can gum the works as we've seen. what needs to change the grease the wheel of governance for heaven forbid the will of the people? >> you can go to a two. year budget instead of a one-year budget. and i think two years you can do

a good budget in two years. but i think it goes much deeper than those kind of quick fixes, and that's more of a political comb over. what we really need is to have a society that has a consensus, that reaches an agreement, that believes in the old american ideals. we're now in a very divided country where a number of people don't support american democracy. a number of people within the political party and the right. and so we need to get a consensus around what democracy is, what the costs of democracy are and what the benefits are. we need to have that national debate. joe biden started it a bit, but i think it's a nationwide debate that has to go on and that's what's going to help us. >> great analysis as always. michael, good to see you. thank you so much. >> thank you, michael. quick break here on the program. when we come back the new york city and surrounding areas drying out after record flooding. we'll have more on the day after

and why new york's governor says her state is bracing for more of this. also the u.s. hasn't seen the last of extreme heat for the year. we'll go to the cnn weather center for a look at the week ahead.

welcome back. president joe biden has signed into law a short-term spending bill to keep the u.s. government running for another 45 days. congress passing the measure saturday night just hours before

federal agencies were set to shutdown. in the house, 90 republicans voted against it and so did a single democrat, mike quigley. earl yehe spoke to cnn about the lack of unity in congress. >> i saw people patting eacheter on the back and clapping and saying this was a bipartisan victory. we came within an inch of defaulting on our debt. we just now came within inches of a shutdown. this is not how the most important democracy in the world should function. our dysfunction, our inability to govern is a national security threat beyond all the other reasons we shouldn't shutdown, a scary time. >> now, the stop gap funding bill includes more aid for natural disasters but not for ukraine. lawmakers say they'll try to approve a separate funding bill to help kyiv at a later date.

now, a day after historic flooding in new york city, the region is beginning to dry out. friday's storm dropped the most rain ever recorded at jfk airport. a state of emergency is still in effect, will be for the next six days, and some flood warnings still in effect as well. new york governor kathy hochul says, unfortunately, extreme weather events like this will be happening more and more. >> and of course we know this is a result of climate change. this is, unfortunately, what we have to expect as the new normal. it makes us be more prepared than ever before, and it requires us to focus on resiliency, to head off the horrific impacts that could be there if we're not ready for the next storm. this was the kind of rain that was once unimaginable, called them once in a century storms. but this is the third time since i was sworn in two years ago i've had a once in a century

storm. this includes the historic flooding we had in the hudson valley this summer which was deemed a 1,000-year flooding event. >> governor hochul says no deaths have been reported fum this latest storm. well, the calender may say october now, but parts of the u.s. will see record high temperatures until at least mid-week. as meteorologist allison chinchar shows us, there is a change coming after that. >> in total more than 30 potential records could be tied or broken starting sunday all the way through wednesday of this week. and you'll notice that several different regions of the u.s. that are looking at those potential records. now, for some portions of of the central u.s., those records actually began on saturday including the area around brownsville, texas, which means they could end up breaking records three or even four days in a row before we finally start to see those temperatures dropping back down towards

normal. take for example sioux falls going down to 76 on tuesday. keep in mind the 76 is still actually above normal for this time of year, just not quite as extreme as the high temperature will be on sunday. another location looking at that big drop st. louis going from a high of 91 on sunday, down to the low 80s on thursday before dropping back below average low to mid-70s once we finish out the rest of this week. farther down to the south, dallas, also looking at several hot days. looking at highs in the mid-90s once all the way through tuesday of the upcoming week before finally dropping back into the 80s by the end of the week and possibly down into the low 70s once we get some rain into the forecast next weekend. now, this heat is going to stick around. it's just going to start to shift as we head into the latter portion of the upcoming week. you'll notice it starts to recede from the central u.s., really starting to focus more

across the north east and midatlantic as cooler air begins to push into the central u.s. by wednesday and thursday of this week. that means into the north east those temperatures are actually going to be warming, looking at albany going from 78 on sunday back into the mid-80s on tuesday. similar scenario for boston going 73 on sunday, up to the 80s once we get to it middle portion of this week. >> allison chinchar there for us. now, people are being allowed to return home in illinois after a deadly crash involving a vehicle carrying thousands of gallons of ammonia. five people were killed when the semi-truck crashed into a village a couple hundred miles south of chicago. hundreds of residents were forced to flee. the fire department says testing indicates the danger now from the ammonia has dissipated. still to come, it is down to the final round in rome for golf's ryder cup. we'll have the latest on that. the americans rallied on

saturday against the europeans, but it'll take an enormous effort from the u.s. to keep the trophy. plus whenever you are in the u.s. you might want to pop over to the u.s., no winner in the power ball winner here. what's the jackpot, you'll be stunned by that after the break.

u.s. lawmakers have avoided a government shutdown, at least for another 45 days as we've been reporting. just hours ago, the senate passing a stopgap spending bill to keep the government's doors open until november 17. for now, millions of government employees and active military members will continue getting paid. president biden signing the bill into law pretty quickly after it was passed. he blames the near shutdown squarely on hardline congressional republicans, saying they created a manufactured crisis by walking away from an earlier budget

agreement that they'd signed on to and demanding drastic cuts that were not agreed to in that deal. rory mcilroy and other members of team europe confronted an american caddie as tempers flared on the greens of the ryder cup in rome on saturday. at this point, it's going to take a historic comeback for the americans to retain the coveted golf trophy as the tournament heads into its final day. here's patrick snell with a look at saturday's action. >> america's golfers really have the proverbial mountain to climb if they're to have any chance at all of holding on to their title. europe four points away from winning back one of the most prestigious titles there is when it comes to international team sports. all of this amid plenty of drama and rising tensions between the sides. late in the day on saturday. europe also winning three of the four morning alternate shot foursomes as viktor hovland and

his partner powering their way to a record ryder cup victory, one that left scottie scheffler in tears. in the afternoon better of four format, the americans making a statement victory from sam burns and colin muir cau wau 4-3 against hovland and herbert, burns dishing it out to the crowd. in the last match of the day, u.s. star patrick cantlay not wearing a cap. he says simply because it doesn't fit. making the 30-footer to win it for the americans against rory mcilroy and matt fitzpatrick. but as the u.s. celebrated a really important point, mcilroy apparently incensed by the actions of can't lay's caddie joe lacava, who was very slow to clear the green, mcilroy confronting lacava. other european players as well,
