a warning from u-s intelligence about a new potential threat from isis. sources say the terrorist group has demonstrated the ability to prodode fake passports. u.s. officials are also concerned isis may have access to biographical data

that could be used for phony identifications. after the paris attacks, investigators found fraudulent syrian passports on two of the terrorists. but anyone who tries can not just travel to the united states using a passport. they would need a visa.... and in order to get a visa... they would need to be screened by the state department. a short-term spending bill heads to the president's desk as congress buys another five days to keep the government funded. money for the federal government was set to run out at midnight. the spending bill is a last-minute fix that will give lawmakers more time to complete negotiations on a 1-point-1 trillion dollar government-wide spending bill for 2016. the white house says the president will sign the bill.... but won't keep giving congress more time in addition to this to finalize a budget. (josh earnest/ white house press secretary) "an agreement is only produced when both sides compromise. and that means the president will have to compromise a little too. and there will be some things in this bill, presumably some funding levels or

enthusiastically support. but the president's not going to let a disagreement over one issue become a deal breaker over all the others." as for the long- term budget, democrats are blasting republicans saying they're trying to tie in too many policy measures hampering progress towards a long- term deal. republicans want to lift the oil export ban and roll back some obama administration regulations. the republican candidates for president will likely spend much of the weekend prepping for the next g-o-p debate - right here in las vegas tuesday. however - as dianne gallagher reports - they are already going back-and-forth... on the campaign trail.

(carly fiorina/(r) presidential candidate) i think he's a pied piper. i think he says things and you all rush to cover it. every single network." but donald trump's controversial statement about banning muslims from the u-s doesn't play well with the

according to a new nbc news/wall street journal poll- 57 percent of american adults oppose the idea....with just 25 percent supporting it. even so.... polls show trump in a solid lead in iowa over his next closest republican rival, senator ted cruz... who- in audio leaked thursday- was heard questioning the frontrunner and ben carson's campaigns. (voice of ted cruz) i believe that gravity will bring both of those campaigns down and i think the lion's share of their supports come to us trump hit back on twitter, saying "he will fall like all others. (it) will be easy!" the cruz response tweet- the establishment's only hope: trump and me in a cage match. sorry to disappoint, donald trump is terrific. (jason johnson/political science professor) we're this close to iowa right now. i think a lot of supporters will still look at cruz as the viable opposition if trump drops out, but i don't think this has caused a riff between the candidates." the friction between the candidates was enough to prompt trump to hint at a third party run... and ben carson has made a similar threat. (sean spicer/chief strategist, rnc) we're gonna have a great nominating process, everybody

nominee for this party, and we will take back the white house. it'll all work out, i promise." dianne gallagher, reporting. on monday, carly fiorina is set to speak in a video message at the nevada national security action summit. ohio governor john kasich is the latest g-o-p candidate to announce a las vegas campaign appearance during "debate week". it will be his first official campaign event in nevada. this is video from his rally in new hampshire today. he'll be meeting with voters over coffee at 11:15 on tuesday at tipsy coffee house near sunset and fort apache. tickets are free but you'll have to register with the campaign online. kasich is one of several candidates who are planning rallies and stops in town ahead of the final republican presidential debate before the nomination. our live broadcast from the venetian begins tuesday right here on fox5 at five. now fox5 weather 24/7, with chief meterologist ted
