US

Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) calls on minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to rein in conservative GOP senators in order to avoid a gov't shutdown: "We’re talking to McConnell. We’re making good progress. And look - Any small group of members can say they want to shut down the govt for something they believe is right. We'll have total chaos. It's up to the leaders on both sides to make sure that doesn’t happen”

  • If a deal on a continuing resolution isn't reached by 23:59:59 on Friday 3 December, the federal gov't will shutdown without funding, with federal employees going on furlough.
