Now to our top stories. Congressional Democrats are threatening a US government shutdown after federal immigration agents shot dead a second American citizen. On Saturday in Minnesota, ICE officers killed intensive care nurse Alex Preti as they subdued him. Widely circulated videos showing the incident from multiple angles suggested that a handgun, which Preti had a permit to carry...

may have been removed from him by an agent before other officers opened fire. Democratic Senator Amy Klaubacher of Minnesota spoke to ABC's This Week program.
Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather, I was there with them marching, when they were able to march without any problems and then the next day A half a dozen ICE and border control agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. So I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here. And what needs to happen is they need to leave.
Senator Amy Klobuchar speaking there to ABC after Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino said that Alex Preti approached officers with a handgun and, quote, violently resisted attempts to disarm him.
Well, in a telephone interview with The Wall Street Journal on Sunday, President Trump declined to say whether the federal officer who fatally shot Preti had acted appropriately and said the administration was reviewing the incident.
A growing anger over the Trump administration's immigration crackdown now threatens to trigger a partial government shutdown this week. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says his party will vote against a sweeping funding package needed to keep the government running unless Republicans strip out funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE.
Democratic Senator Adam Schiff of California spoke on NBC's Meet the Press.
Well, I'm not giving ICE or Border Patrol another dime, given how this agency, these agencies are operating. Democrats are not going to fund that. The government will shut down if Republicans insist that that be joined with other government funding. It will be a Republican decision.
Adam Schiff speaking there with the effects of another shutdown expected to be widespread, including possibly delaying the next Bureau of Labor Statistics report.

Chapter 3: How did Senator Klobuchar respond to the immigration incident?
Here in the UK, allies of the Prime Minister have blocked Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham from standing to become a Member of Parliament in an upcoming by-election. The decision leaves Burnham, a key rival of Keir Starmer, with no clear route to Parliament. Steve Reid, the government's Housing Secretary, says it's the wrong time for him to return to Westminster.
Well, I look forward to seeing Andy Burnham back in Parliament in due course. But right now, he's only halfway through a four-year term as mayor. Two million people have the right to vote in that area. They're not expecting a by-election for their mayor halfway through the term of the current mayor.
Housing Secretary Steve Reid speaking there following an 8-1 vote by Labour's National Executive Committee against the attempt by the Mayor to stand in Gorton and Denton. Bloomberg understands that Keir Starmer told the panel that Burnham's standing would trigger months of psychodrama and badly damage Labour ahead of May's local elections.
Posting on social media on Sunday, Burnham said he was disappointed by the decision and concerned about its potential impact.
New research by Morgan Stanley says the UK is losing more jobs than it's creating because of artificial intelligence. Bloomberg's Ewan Potts has more.
Morgan Stanley's study found AI innovations are coming at a particularly heavy cost to workers in Britain. The report surveyed firms in five industries that have been using AI for at least a year. It found that for many companies, tech investments are already paying off with an average 11.5% increase in productivity.
But when it comes to employment, UK companies reported the highest level of net job losses of any of the countries in the survey. In London, I'm Ewan Potts, Bloomberg Radio.
