The US Senate has passed a deal aimed at ending the record 40-day government shutdown. The agreement, reached after weekend talks between Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the White House, saw a few Democrats join Republicans to approve the plan. The deal funds key departments like veterans affairs and agriculture and ensures federal workers will be paid for the shutdown period. It also extends food aid under the SNAP program until next September. The bill now moves to the House of Representatives for approval. If passed, government services and pay for 1.4 million workers will resume. (PC: BBC)
