That Us Government services have had to be shut down because of a Budget Deadlock in congress. The us House Of Representatives has adjourned for the day, and will reconvene in washington On Saturday Morning local time. Sean dilley has the latest. This is what you get when the House Of Representatives is led by a Different Party to the one that controls the senate and also occupies the white house. Deadlock is not unheard of, the Government Shutdown six times since 1990, and when they happen they can last for a short time, even days. There is usually a very clear reason why. Last time for example the Government Shutdown in 2018, it was 35 days that those services were stopped and this was because of a very clear disagreement about Donald Trumps to build a wall on the southern border. 2013, very clear policy disagreements saw a 16 day shutdown when representatives fell out over the provision of 0bama care. This time though, the reasons are far less clear. The republican speaker says he thinks the Biggest Issue is president biden� s wish to send more money to ukraine, but he said a short term deal probably could have been done before now in exchange for a stronger Border Protection is on the south of the country. Now, it probably is the case that Kevin Mccarthy could drive through a short term funding deal to keep the government running, but this would mean working closely with democratic representatives to push through a funding deal already agreed by both the republicans and democrats in the upper chamber, the senate, but around nine hard line republicans have made it very clear that if he works with their opponents to pass a deal he could be forced from office, so what we are left with his congress has until midnight tonight to see if they reach a deal, its possible i guess but right now it feels pretty unlikely they are going to do that, and if they dont, days and weeks of uncertainty will follow, many thousands of federal employees would be placed on unpaid leave and the us could see some very serious damage to its economy. 27 years after the killing of the hip hop artist tupac shakur, police in las vegas have charged a former gang leader with his murder. 60 year old duane davis, whos also known as keffe d, is accused of planning the rappers shooting. Tupac shakur was hit four times in a drive by shooting, aged 25. Until now, no one had ever been charged over the death. The 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. Speaking at a News Conference in las vegas, sheriff Kevin Mcmayhill said its taken decades of work to reach this result. Tupac shakur is still one of the best selling and most influential rappers of all time. He took off after the release of his debut album in 1991. Just five years, later he was gunned down, his career cut short shot on the Las Vegas Strip while waiting at a red light. Hit by bullets fired from a passing cadillac, he died six days later. Now, after 27 years, police have finally arrested a suspect. 27 years. For 27 years, the family of tupac shakur have been waiting for justice. We are here today to announce the arrest of 60 year old duane keith davis, aka keefe d, for the murder of tupac shakur. Keefe d was the leader of a gang that was feuding with tupac� s record label, death row records. Police said the whole thing started with this fight at a las vegas hotel. Tupac and record executive suge knight punched and kicked a rival gang member. Keefe d is accused of then hatching the plan to retaliate. Put your hands up sir, put your phone down fast forward to july this year, police raided keefe ds home in a Los Angeles Suburb hes the man on the right. The case had been revived in recent years, using his own words about the incident published in a memoir. Cheering.

Yes, he is the sole surviving suspect that they do have, and i think because this is something that was happening, gang violence, people were talking about this happening so without someone confessing, and i witnessed saying something, they would not have enough evidence to bring these formal charges, and with the statements he has made since 2018, that has sped up the investigation over the last five years which was enough for them to convene a grand jury. So many years after his death he is still a name that so many people know, still a towering presence in the music industry. What will those charges means you think to Those Who Love Tupac .

It could not have come at a better time with the indictment, with this being a 50th anniversary this year, and his influence goes beyond the music, he was notjust an artist but an activist and i think we can see his activist role being a great influence on artists today and other activists using the platform to address social issues as tupac did. In the uk, police are investigating a School Bus Crash which killed one student and left another with what are said to be life changing injuries. The coach had been taking pupils to two schools on merseyside when it crashed on a motorway with dozens of children on board. 15 year old Jessica Baker was killed, along with the driver of the bus who has not yet been named. Police say a 14 year old boy is being treated in hospital with life changing injuries. 0ur our thoughts and condolences are with their family and friends at this time. Family Liaison Officers are providing special support to those families and we are working with the schools, local council to ensure the necessary support is in place the children on the bus. Investigations are under way into two deadly explosions which have rocked pakistan. More than 50 people are dead. 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 52 people were killed there, with another 50 injured. Police suspect it was a Suicide Attack targeting the religious gathering in mastung city. These pictures are from balochistan, pakistans largest province. The region has suffered mutiple attacks from groups including the Pakistani Taliban and Islamic State group. And in a separate explosion, at least four people are reported to have died at a blast at a mosque near the city of peshawar. Many more were feared trapped under the collapsed building. 0ur correspondent in islamabad, saher baloch, gave us this update. At the moment what we know is the district, the Rescue Workers have completed the operation and people have been taken out of the rubble and there are four dead in that incident as well. What we know so far is that the police say that they think this is a Suicide Attack and they have called it a Suicide Attack, especially the police chief confirming it to the bbc as well, so the reporters and the police is thinking right now that the bigger question is whether this was initiated by the taliban or whether this was actually some other group and what their motivation was. Officials in new york have declared a State Of Emergency after heavy rainfall caused flooding in the streets. Subways were flooded and highways became rivers after five inches or more than 10 centimeters of water fell in just hours. 0fficials warned new yorkers to avoid all non essential travel as most subway services are suspended, and airports faced major delays. Drivers were forced to abandon their cars as roads turned to rivers. Brooklyn is said to be the hardest hit area of new york city. Now to news of a significant advance in the treatment of Prostate Cancer. An International Trial has found that thousands of men every year could be successfully treated with a more intense form of radiotherapy which would significantly shorten the time it takes to treat them. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the uk with 52,000 cases diagnosed every year. The study was led by the Royal Marsden hospital in london which said the treatment could help 8,000 men a year and would help Ease Pressure on the National Health service. Heres our medical editor fergus walsh. There was no pain or inconvenience. The treatment was just so easy and swift. There was no downside to it. Alastair kennedy rose feels extremely fortunate to have had his Prostate Cancer treated in just five sessions of radiotherapy. Eight years on, the 64 year old is still cancer free. It was almost as though id never had Prostate Cancer because i didnt have any symptoms to start with and the treatment was so easy, ultimately so very effective. He was treated here at the Royal Marsden hospital in london as part of a pivotal trial involving nearly 900 men at 38 hospitals in the uk, ireland and canada. All the men had medium risk Prostate Cancer which had not spread. After five years, 96 of the men whod had five high doses of multiple Beam Radiotherapy were cancer free, compared to 95 whod had at least 20 doses of standard radiotherapy. Both groups had low side effects. The pink area is the prostate gland. The medical director of the Royal Marsden led the International Trial. For him, this is a big moment. When i got the results i was literally, i was blown away. It was probably one of the best days of my career. I think its fantastic news for patients and its brilliant news for the nhs. So what are the implications . Well, its going to be an enormous change. I expect though the nhs will rapidly adopt this, so instead of giving 20 doses of radiotherapy we can give five. If we extrapolate that across the whole nhs thats hundreds of thousands of doses of radiotherapy that are going to be saved. And in a system which, you know, is quite under pressure, thats going to be very welcome. Another likely change is less use of Hormone Therapy in future. None of the men on the trial was given any and so were spared the side effects, like extreme fatigue, hot flushes and low libido. It will mean a better experience for thousands of men with Prostate Cancer every year, who will be able to have all their Radiotherapy Treatment in just a week and without the need for Hormone Therapy. Very quiet, peaceful. Alastair� s Prostate Cancer was picked up after a simple blood test. He wants all men over 50 to get themselves checked.
