What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. The Senate late Sunday took a first step toward reopening the federal government. In a bipartisan vote, members approved the first procedural step to advance the bill. The agreement would fund the government through January 30th and includes full-year funding for some items, including SNAP food benefits.
What steps did the Senate take to reopen the federal government?
In return, Republicans agreed informally to a vote on health care sometime in December. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada joined six other Democrats to vote for the measure.
I expect Republicans to be at the table in the next few weeks. I expect the White House to be at the table. And if they do choose not to come to the table, they can own the disastrous premium increases that will continue to rise.
The effect of the federal government shutdown on the nation's airlines continues to grow. More than 2,100 flights were canceled on Sunday because of shortages of air traffic controllers. The slowdown of the nation's busiest 40 airports also created more than 7,000 delayed flights. Travel experts are concerned over what a prolonged slowdown would do to Thanksgiving holiday travel. Investors will be reconvening Monday after a tough week on Wall Street. Normally, they'd be anticipating the next inflation report that was scheduled this week, but the federal government shutdown has delayed all economic data. And Piers Raphael Nam has more.
The Labor Department did release the inflation data for September last month, but that was only because the Social Security Administration needed the numbers to help determine its cost-of-living adjustment for seniors next year. but there will likely be no exception anymore until the shutdown ends, and that means investors will not be getting the latest inflation report this week. But there will be earnings from companies as usual this time of year, including from Disney and Paramount Skydance, which completed their merger earlier this year. Rafael Nam, NPR News.
Super Typhoon Fung Wong has left a trail of destruction in the Philippines this weekend, and it's now heading out to sea. At least two people died from that storm, and more than one million other people fled their homes to safer ground before the storm hit. Michael Sullivan has this report from Chiang Mai.
Fung Wong came ashore in northeastern Aurora Province with sustained winds of up to 115 miles per hour and gusts of more than 140 miles per hour. It set off floods and landslides and knocked out power to entire provinces, even as the country dealt with the devastation left by Typhoon Kalmagi, which struck the country on Tuesday, leaving at least 224 dead. At least five more people were killed after Kalmagi cleared the Philippines and slammed into an already storm-battered Vietnam. Fenghuang weakened as it traveled across the northern Philippines overnight before blowing into the South China Sea. It's forecast to head to the northwest towards Taiwan. For NPR News, I'm Michael Sullivan in Chiang Rai.
And you're listening to NPR News. Two leaders of the BBC, including its boss, resigned Sunday after criticism that a BBC documentary misled viewers by editing a speech by President Trump. MPR's Fatima Al-Kassab reports from London.
The BBC's leadership had been under mounting pressure. after a newspaper report suggested that a BBC documentary, which aired a week before last year's presidential election, had edited two parts of a speech by President Trump, so he appeared to explicitly encourage the January 6th Capitol Hill riots. The memo, from an external advisor to the BBC, accused the corporation of serious and systemic bias in its coverage of issues including President Trump, Gaza and trans rights. The president's press secretary, Caroline Levitt, described the corporation as a propaganda machine following the allegations. In his resignation note to staff, BBC boss Tim Davey said the decision was entirely his own. Fatima al-Kassab, NPR News, London.
