tasking watch now on youtube v. w documentary the, this is dw news live from the land legislators in the us house of representatives as a stop gap, measure it up that impartial shut down the government. for the 45 day spending, bill still has to pass the us senate ahead of a midnight deadline, also coming up slovaks, votes in a key election that could further split into the use unity on ukraine. polls show a tight race between former prime minister robots feed, so wants to,

and ministry support ukraine, pro western liberal, who wants to stay the course on foreign policy. the told me a logical welcome to the program. we began with some breaking news from the us. the house of representatives has just passed a bill to a but a shutdown of the federal government. the bill now goes to the senate, if it passes that the stop got bill will keep the government funded for another $45.00 days. bill passed with bipartisan support. the republican party was not able to pass a bill area after the hard drive. we rejected a plan from it from enjoys and need a kevin mccarthy. one sticking point has been washington support for ukraine or washington bureau chief in his poll joys me now in is what exactly have the us

lawmakers agreed on so the yes definitely is uh, one step closer to avoid a government shutdown as the house just approved a temporary funding solution, which and that is very important is not including the aid for ukraine. so what does that mean? that means the funding stays the same level right now, but the need for a budget for next year. uh, this is the big question. if this will ever happen, um, so this boat today is definitely something a protein is very happy about and it was clear what we did was 345. yes of. oh, it's $291.00 notice. but as you just mentioned, it is important to keep in mind, this is just a temporary stop good. and if the bill goes to a percentage today until midnight, they will be back at the drawing board in $45.00 days from now on. and then it's

kind of unlikely that the democrats will allow to not keep the funding for ukraine going. what exactly the issues that these 2 wings of the republican party are not able to agree on or right. so much of the disagreements are from areas to the other kind of hodge a right one for the cuts that includes for example, many domestic spending needs a deeper or wider or a social safety nets. and they want deep cuts in that regard. and also the funding frontier ukraine is something that the freedom congress actually wants to remove completely even. and that's also interesting. most republicans are in favor of funding ukraine. now what uh, concessions has, uh, did the republican,

the house speaker have to to make it to get the democrats to vote for his bill. right. um, so uh, you know, he was really rely on the dens uh to, to get this bill through and, uh, this is uh, something that, uh, his, a party members mainly the hard uh, waiting party members from the so called a freedom congress will not approve. and they will give him a hard time for that. let's do the news. washington bureau chief municipal, thank you for that update to slovakia, where people have been voting in closely watched parliamentary elections that could see the country radically changed course in particular on ukraine. also a tight race between the pro western liberals led by vice president of the european parliament. michelle. she met cia and the former prime minister robot seats. so

he's campaigned on a popular platform calling for an end to slovakia, is robust, military support for ukraine and for closer ties to moscow. all 5 have about 20 percent support and would require coalition partners to form a government subsidy to abuse brussels bureau chief area and uh, alexandra for them. and who was at the election headquarters of the pro west candidate shelves. she mentioned. and she told me once at stake at the elections in slovakia, but what's at stake is as you have just bench you up so you need to when it comes to support for your grades. and so now your pets manage to close the rang and keep 14 q crane militarily and financially. and due to the pro you will be a liberal party of progressive slovakia wins. and we are, as you mentioned, at the election party of this party, this is going to stay this way,

preferably because they are expected to continue with the there is don't support for ukraine. they're also sold following a liberal line when it comes to other issues such as a to be q plus rights, or we call this c. but is the main competitor at the front. rhonda missed the feed so the pro russian popular swinson is able to inform the governments that picture will be quite different. he has already announced he's against the sanctions against russia. he is a questioning arms deliveries to ukraine and ukraine's ability to win this war. so sheet codes disrupted. you need see, it's been quite the devices campaign. as you mention. i will continue the conversation in just a minute, but let's listen to some voters in bratislava. so i feel like the campaign is exactly like the demonstration of this. like we're sending culture and the hatred

and, and use of this information and lives in the, in the overall communication and politics in this campaign. i feel like has been the, yeah, the demonstration of that month. voltage of those supplies, such as the funded things have gotten lower while ago that it would be better if it is not like this one and bought it this way. the more the competition of ideas and plans for the future. unfortunately, the emotions went in defense. nicole via the impulse, the totally thought it was a dangerous organization that are getting more. russo 5 is taking cover. i'm preventing themselves from and every car. so i cops the back. yeah. slot like people have enough wisdom to prevent this from happening. to clack division in slovakia will either of these candidates be late be able to unite the people after the election but i think it will be a totally totally difficult job. i spoke to many people here, young generation,

people who describe them selves as very pro european and they would not like to see him is to see so at the home of the government, i also traveled to rural to go back. there were many people are not happy with their lives in the european union. they think that progressive slovak, have this pro liberal party is much too liberal for silva. yeah. so it is the polarized society as it seems, that it will be difficult to unite them regardless of who is winning this election . right. and you have an idea of when we will know the results official results will be published on sundays. holding stations are closing at 10 pm this evening. however, they have been to emergency at 2 clothing stations, so they will stay open a bit longer. and that's why we are expecting 1st exit schools around our 11 pm in the evenings, but officially resolved only tomorrow. we'll be watching that close me dw alexandra
