Another tank holding highly contaminated water is said to be leaking from Japan\'s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.

Some of the liquid may have reached the Pacific Ocean.

Operator Tepco says the breach was discovered in a tank-holding area away from where 300 tones of toxic water escaped in August.

The company has been using hastily built containers to hold excess cooling water flushed over the damage reactors at the site where three units suffered nuclear meltdowns after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

With just hours to go, Obama warns about the consequences to the economy if federal employees are not able to work.

The Senate has rejected conditions imposed on the federal budget by the House of Representatives, paving the way for a partial shutdown of government services.

Senators in the Democrat-dominated upper house refused to support a bill by their colleagues in Congress which delayed the introduction of the controversial Obamacare.

The rejection of the bill means there is no agreement on how federal money should be spent in the coming budgetary year.

If the Democrats and Republicans fail to find a solution before the deadline at midnight on Monday, the shutdown goes into force at 12.01am EST on Tuesday (5.01am BST).

President Obama addressed the nation on Monday afternoon (US time), frankly setting out what a shutdown would mean for the people of the United States.

The survival of the Italian government hangs in the balance as the Senate prepares for crucial vote of confidence

Prime Minister Enrico Letta faces most crucial test in his political career - and for his fragile government - with a vote of confidence.

Showdown between young leader and veteran political wrangler - media tycoon, billionaire and convicted tax fraudster Silvio Berlusconi.

He ordered his ministers out of the ruling coalition. But in dramatic move several senior PdL (People of Freedom) figures have threatened to defy him.

All this against a background of ongoing crisis in Italy. 

His critics say he\'s putting himself above interests of the country.

Divisions between \'hawks\' and \'doves\'.

Carlo Giovanardi, a long-time ally of Berlusconi, struck the first major blow when he announced that \

Continua con le prime luci dell'alba la ricerca dei corpi ancora intrappolati sotto lo scafo del barcone carico di migranti naufragato ieri al largo di Lampedusa: gli ultimi dati certi risalgono alla scorsa notte, confermati dal comandante della Guardia Costiera Segreto Floriana, lasciano presagire per il peggio. Fino a questa mattina i corpi recuperati dall'acqua erano ben 111, tra cui almeno 3 bambini e due donne incinte, mentre le persone portate in salvo 155, perciò mancherebbe all'appello ancora più della metà dei migranti che si stima fossero a bordo al momento della tragedia. Sono proprio le testimonianze dei superstiti, in gran parte somali ed eritrei, ad aiutare le squadre di ricerca calcolando circa 400-500 persone sulla barca, tutte provenienti dalla costa della Libia. "Nella notte due motovedette sono rimaste di pattuglia nella zona del naufragio -afferma Segreto, aggiungendo inoltre che- stamattina sono riprese le ricerche dei sommozzatori. Ma sotto il barcone dovremmo recuperare oltre cento corpi". Mentre proseguono i tentativi di salvataggio e la situazione resta grave, ci si interroga sulle cause di questa ennesima disgrazia. Secondo il responsabile del Viminale, il tutto sarebbe stato causato da un incendio scoppiato per caso a bordo, che ha provocato il rapido spostamento in massa dei passeggeri su un lato ed il conseguente capovolgimento dell'imbarcazione lunga una ventina di metri. A segnalare il naufragio, alle 7:20 di ieri mattina, sono stati due pescherecci che hanno subito soccorso le persone in mare a mezzo miglio dall'Isola dei Conigli, ambita meta turistica nei pressi di Lampedusa. Italian divers searched on Friday for bodies trapped in the wreck of a boat packed with African migrants which sank off Sicily, killing an estimated 300 people in one of the worst disasters in Europe's decades-long immigration crisis. Rescue teams have so far recovered 111 bodies and expect to find more than a hundred others in the submerged wreck, which is sunk in around 40 metres of water less than 1 km (0.6 miles) from the shore of the southern island of Lampedusa. After 155 survivors were pulled from the water on Thursday, choppy seas were expected to make the recovery work more difficult and there was no realistic hope of finding any more of the estimated 500 passengers on board the vessel still alive. The boat, carrying mainly Eritreans and Somalis, sank in the early hours of Thursday after fuel caught fire onboard, triggering a panicked rush to one side of the vessel, which capsized and sank. A ferry arrived early on Friday with a truck carrying about 100 coffins and four hearses for the dead, who are now lined along the floor of a hangar at the airport. Lampedusa, a tiny fishing and tourist island located halfway between Sicily and Tunisia, has borne the brunt of a crisis which over the years has seen tens of thousands of migrants from Africa arriving in its port in unsafe and overcrowded boats.

Some of the liquid may have reached the Pacific Ocean. Operator Tepco says the breach was discovered in a tank-holding area away from where 300 tones of toxic water escaped in August. The company has been using hastily built containers to hold excess cooling water flushed over the damage reactors at the site where three units suffered nuclear meltdowns after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

US Shutdown: Obama's Warning Over Shutdown | Senate Rejects Budget Changes
US Shutdown: Obama's Warning Over Shutdown | Senate Rejects Budget Changes

With just hours to go, Obama warns about the consequences to the economy if federal employees are not able to work. The Senate has rejected conditions imposed on the federal budget by the House of Representatives, paving the way for a partial shutdown of government services. Senators in the Democrat-dominated upper house refused to support a bill by their colleagues in Congress which delayed the introduction of the controversial Obamacare. The rejection of the bill means there is no agreement on how federal money should be spent in the coming budgetary year. If the Democrats and Republicans fail to find a solution before the deadline at midnight on Monday, the shutdown goes into force at 12.01am EST on Tuesday (5.01am BST). President Obama addressed the nation on Monday afternoon (US time), frankly setting out what a shutdown would mean for the people of the United States. "Vital services that seniors and veterans, women and children, businesses and our economy depend on will be hamstrung. "Tourists will find every one of our national parks and monuments ... immediately closed and of course the communities and small businesses that rely on these national treasures for their livelihoods will be out of customers and out of luck. "These Americans are our neighbours, their kids go to our schools, they worship where we do ... they are the customers of every business in this country. A shutdown will have a very real economic impact, right away. "The idea of putting progress at risk, is the height of irresponsibility. One faction, of one party, in one House of Congress, in one branch of government, does not get to shutdown government just to refight the results of an election. "My hope and expectation, is in the 11th hour once again, Congress will choose to do the right thing, once again." His comments came after the Senate's 54-46 vote refusing to accept the House of Representative's spending plans. Although there have often been spats over the amount federal government should be spending or gathering in tax, the federal funding bill is usually considered routine business. This time, however, the spending plans are tied to the highly controversial health care law promoted by President Obama. Assuming no compromise is reached before midnight EST, it will be the first shutdown in 17 years. While essential services such as mail delivery would remain in place, up to about 800,000 government employees could be forced off work, possibly without pay. National parks, some museums and such tourist attractions as the Statue of Liberty would be closed. While Social Security and Medicare benefits would keep coming, there could be some delays in certain cases. The healthcare law was previously passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010, despite opposition by the Republican Party, especially Tea Party conservatives. Although Obamacare has become a legal entity, it still has to be funded. Funding for the scheme was due to be in this year's federal budget, which was due to start on October 1. A number of the most hardline Republicans in the House of Representatives have sought to frustrate the introduction of Obamacare by finding a way to stop it being funded. Their latest move was to introduce conditions to the federal funding bill that would have delayed the start of the health care scheme and altered Obama's plans to tax medical devices. The Senate rejection of the House's bill, leaves federal funding in a stalemate. Both the House of Representatives and the Senate have to agree before a budget can be approved. The fear that a shutdown could occur had an immediate effect on Wall Street, which was down 150 points, or 1%, at the start of the day. With a solution looking increasingly elusive, both sides have been blaming the other. Markets in other countries also fell in response to the fears. In Japan the Nikkei closed 2% lower while the FTSE 100 was almost 1% lower on the day. The last time the federal government shutdown was under President Bill Clinton, when services ground to a halt for 28 days between December 1995 and January 1996. It nearly happened again in April 2011. http://news.sky.com/story/1148200/us-shutdown-senate-rejects-budget-changes ********************** US Shutdown: Obama's Warning Over Shutdown | Senate Rejects Budget Changes US Shutdown: Obama's Warning Over Shutdown | Senate Rejects Budget Changes US Shutdown: Obama's Warning Over Shutdown | Senate Rejects Budget Changes US Shutdown: Obama's Warning Over Shutdown | Senate Rejects Budget Changes US Shutdown: Obama's Warning Over Shutdown | Senate Rejects Budget Changes

The survival of the Italian government hangs in the balance as the Senate prepares for crucial vote of confidence Prime Minister Enrico Letta faces most crucial test in his political career - and for his fragile government - with a vote of confidence. Showdown between young leader and veteran political wrangler - media tycoon, billionaire and convicted tax fraudster Silvio Berlusconi. He ordered his ministers out of the ruling coalition. But in dramatic move several senior PdL (People of Freedom) figures have threatened to defy him. All this against a background of ongoing crisis in Italy. His critics say he's putting himself above interests of the country. Divisions between 'hawks' and 'doves'. Carlo Giovanardi, a long-time ally of Berlusconi, struck the first major blow when he announced that "more than 40" PdL MPs were prepared to vote to keep the government afloat. euronews: the most watched news channel in Europe Subscribe! http://eurone.ws/10ZCK4a Euronews is available in 14 languages: http://eurone.ws/17moBCU In English: Website: http://www.euronews.com/news Youtube http://www.youtube.com/euronews Facebook http://www.facebook.com/euronews.fans Twitter http://twitter.com/euronews
