China's Confidence In Bangladesh Under Threat Due To Yunus' Policies, Says Sheikh Hasina | Exclusive

Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina has said Bangladesh must restore political legitimacy and regional confidence to maintain stable relations with China and other neighbours, following changes in the country’s leadership. Speaking to CNN-News18’s Manoj Gupta in her first extensive conversation since leaving Dhaka, Hasina, responding to a question on whether Beijing had advised restraint or given assurances during her final days in office, said her government had always prioritised strong ties with China for both trade and security reasons. “We have always prioritised good relations between China and Bangladesh for reasons of trade and security. To maintain stability in our region and in our foreign relations, our neighbours must have confidence in us,” she said. Hasina, however, warned that the confidence was “under threat” while the current unelected administration led by Muhammad Yunus remained in power. She accused the interim government of pursuing “volatile foreign and trade policies” that could undermine Bangladesh’s credibility as a regional partner. “This confidence is under threat while the unelected Yunus government remains in power and pursues volatile foreign and trade policies. My hope is that Bangladesh regains its position as a reliable economic and diplomatic partner through the election of a legitimate government that represents the interests of its people,” she said.

Sunny Deol Loses Temper On Paps, Asks 'Sharam Nahi Ati' As They Film Him: 'Aapke Ghar Mein Maa Baap Hai'

Actor Sunny Deol, who has been spending most of his time with his father Dharmendra as the veteran star recovers at home, lost his temper at the paparazzi on Tuesday morning in Mumbai. Dharmendra was recently discharged from Breach Candy Hospital after a critical health scare, and Sunny has been deeply protective of him ever since. This morning, as photographers gathered outside their residence, Sunny stepped out and clearly looked upset at the crowding. Folding his hands, he told the paparazzi, “Aap logon ko sharam aani chahiye, aapke ghar mein ma-baap hai. Aapke bachche hain, sharam nahi aati?” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) His frustration seemed to come from the constant intrusion and noise, especially at a time when Dharmendra needs rest and a calm environment at home. The actor, who is usually polite with the media, appeared visibly angry and emotional as he tried to make the photographers understand the situation. Many fans also rallied behind Sunny after the video surfaced online. Social media users said the constant intrusion has taken a toll on the Deol family, especially with Dharmendra recovering at home. Several comments praised Sunny for finally speaking up and asked the paparazzi to show “basic humanity” during such a delicate time. Sunny has been by Dharmendra’s side since the veteran actor’s hospitalisation and continues to care for him as he recovers. The 89-year-old star, who had been under treatment for the past few days, will continue his recovery at home. Earlier, his daughter Esha Deol assured fans that her father was stable, dismissing false reports about his health. “The media seems to be in overdrive and spreading false news. My father is stable and recovering. We request everyone to give our family privacy,” she wrote on social media. Sources close to the Deol family have shared that Dharmendra was admitted last month for a routine health check-up and continues to remain under observation. His team has requested fans to keep him in their prayers as he recovers.

Battin vows to resign if crime rates persist as both parties copy Queensland

Battin said Allan may “not want to take that risk” because crime rates had continued to rise under her leadership, but went on to say he that he would make the pledge himself. “If we’re elected next year, over that four-year term, and we come into 2030 for the election and crime statistics have not come down, I will step down,” Battin, a former police officer, said. “If we can’t keep Victorians safe, then the government is failing in its duties.” Speaking earlier on Thursday, Allan did not commit to resign and said she was focused on “seeing the job through”.

Global Airline Reliability Improves in October, Led by Asia-Pacific as North America Faces Operational Pressures; Cirium Analysis

Business Wire IndiaCirium, the world’s most trusted source of aviation analytics, has published its October 2025 On-Time Performance (OTP) Report, covering more than 370,000 flights with 99.8% global coverage. The data indicates a 26% reduction in global cancellations compared with September, reflecting improved operational stability across the commercial aviation network. The results also highlight distinct regional dynamics shaping airline performance worldwide. Asia-Pacific carriers led the recovery, cutting flight cancellations by 43% as airlines across Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines strengthened network performance and capacity. Notably, the world’s top-performing airports in October — Harbin Taiping and Changchun Longjia in China, and Kaohsiung International in Taiwan — were all located in the region, underscoring its continued operational gains and steady recovery momentum. North American operations showed greater operational strain, with flight cancellations rising by about 12.6% month over month. The uptick reflects ongoing air traffic management constraints, staffing pressures, and localized weather variability that continued to test network resilience across the United States and Canada. Despite these challenges, WestJet led On-Time Performance rankings in the region, followed by Delta Air Lines and Air Canada, marking the first time in months that both Canadian carriers have ranked among the top three, a sign of growing operational consistency. Cirium continues to monitor the impact of evolving factors in North America, including the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, which is already influencing flight operations into November.

Latham condemned after comparing premier to Hitler in ‘grossly offensive’ rant

“There was another political leader once sitting in his bunker waiting for the miracle weapon,” Latham said, alluding to Hitler. Latham went on to refer to senior Minns government ministers as “generals”, including “frau” Jackson, who “works in crappy public housing estates”, and made a veiled swipe at Local Government Minister Ron Hoenig’s Jewish identity. He used the German term “herr” to refer to Hoenig, who is a child of a holocaust survivor, and fellow MP Steve Kamper. Jackson said Latham’s comments comparing Minns to Hitler, his derogatory remarks about public housing tenants and his implication about Hoenig’s religion were unbefitting a member of parliament. “In a way, I’m desensitised to the contributions of this member … but I do say this, that there is a line that this member consistently crosses, ” she said.

Shirtless salsas and tributes to Steve: How Robert Irwin became Dancing with the Stars’ hot favourite

What unfolded in Los Angeles on Tuesday (Wednesday AEDT) – when Bindi Irwin, 27, briefly joined her brother’s routine – was that he and partner Witney Carson secured the first perfect score of the season. “Tonight was healing. This dance was emotional, beautiful and so deeply meaningful,” Robert wrote on Instagram overnight. “I carry Dad’s legacy with me in everything I do, and it was a privilege to dedicate our foxtrot to him.” How much of Robert and Carson’s perfect score – and the record number of votes this season has attracted – is due to Robert’s dancing ability remains to be seen. The fact he actually points his toes – despite having no prior dancing experience! – has been venerated by devotees on social media as much as his good looks, enthusiasm and tragic backstory. But it was the latter the judges overwhelmingly commented on this week.

Chennai Weather: Heavy Rain And Thunderstorms Forecast This Weekend As IMD Issues Yellow Alert

Chennai is experiencing a brief respite with light rainfall, but the weather is expected to intensify sharply this weekend. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an advance Yellow Alert for Sunday and Monday (November 16 and 17), advising residents to remain vigilant and prepare for heavy showers and thunderstorms.The increased activity is attributed to an upper air cyclonic circulation over the southwest and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal, which is fueling the active Northeast Monsoon phase over the South Peninsula.Widespread Rain Forecast Across Tamil NaduThe IMDs official statement predicts a significant spell of moisture and rainfall across the southern states, with the second half of November anticipated to be particularly wet.Regional Outlook: Fairly widespread to widespread rainfall activity is likely over Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and the Islands, the weather department stated.Heavy Rainfall Warning: Isolated heavy rainfall is highly likely over Tamil Nadu on November 17 and 18.Thunderstorm Activity: Thunderstorms with lightning are expected over Tamil Nadu on November 17, and over Kerala and Mahe on November 12 and 13.Specific Coastal Alerts: Isolated heavy rain is also predicted for coastal districts and adjoining interior regions, with specific warnings for districts like Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Mayiladuthurai, and Cuddalore on November 17.Chennai Weather OutlookWhile the immediate weather outlook for Chennai suggests moderate rain, the city must prepare for a significant intensification of showers this weekend as the Northeast Monsoon strengthens. Today, November 13, the sky will remain mostly cloudy with moderate rain expected at intervals. This pattern is set to continue with generally cloudy skies and light rain likely on Friday, November 14, and Saturday, November 15. The crucial shift begins on Sunday, November 16, which is under a Yellow Alert, predicting partly cloudy skies with chances of a few showers or brief thunderstorms. The weather is expected to peak on Monday, November 17, also under a Yellow Alert, with a generally cloudy sky bringing moderate to heavy rainfall. Finally, on Tuesday, November 18, cloudy conditions will persist, accompanied by moderate rain. This pattern of intensification is primarily driven by an upper-air cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal.Southern Districts AlertForecasters note that the influence of the cyclonic circulation will be particularly strong over parts of South Tamil Nadu, where moderate to heavy rains are expected to continue in isolated places, especially in Ramanathapuram, Thoothukudi, and Tirunelveli districts.ALSO READ | Trump Signs Funding Bill, Ending Historic Government Shutdown And Guaranteeing Federal Back Pay

Stock markets stay flat amid highly volatile session

Mumbai, Nov 13 (PTI) Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty started the trade on a weaker note on Thursday but later quoted flat in a highly volatile trade amid mixed global cues. The 30-share BSE Sensex declined 138.36 points, or 0.16 per cent, to 84,328.15 in the morning trade. The broader NSE Nifty slipped 38.50 points or 0.15 per cent, to 25,837.30. But, later both the benchmark indices were oscillating between highs and lows. Among the Sensex firms, Tata Motors’ commercial vehicles business, Eternal, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Mahindra & Mahindra, HCL Technologies, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC Bank, ITC, Tata Consultancy Services, Bharat Electronics Ltd were the laggards. On the other hand, Asian Paints, Tata Steel, ICICI Bank, Bajaj Finserv, Bharti Airtel, Trent, Larsen & Toubro and State Bank of India were the gainers. “The market needs more triggers to take it to new record highs. With the outcome of the Bihar polls largely discounted by the market, there are no political triggers that can push the market significantly higher. The reverse might happen if the actual poll results turn out to be different from the exit polls,” VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Ltd, said. Vijayakumar noted that the important economic factors that have to be watched for is a possible India-US trade deal removing the penal tariffs and reducing the reciprocal tariffs. The decline in October retail inflation in India to 0.25 per cent indicates the possibility of a rate cut from the MPC in December. But the monetary policy transmission turning weak has become a challenge for the RBI. “In the near-term the market is likely to consolidate and then respond to triggers when they happen. Positive triggers happening simultaneously can lead to short-covering pushing the market sharply up. But sustained uptrend would be challenging given the FII selling and elevated valuations, he added. Broader Asian equities were trading on a mixed note. Shanghai’s SSE Composite Index and Japan’s Nikkei 225 benchmark were trading in a positive zone while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and South Korea’s Kospi were quoting in red territory. The US markets finished higher in overnight deals on Wednesday. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, fell 0.13 per cent to USD 62.63 per barrel. Meanwhile, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 1,750.03 crore for the third straight session on Wednesday, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) remained net buyers of stocks worth Rs 5,127.12 crore, according to exchange data. On Wednesday, the BSE Sensex rallied 595.19 points to settle at 84,466.51. The 50-share NSE Nifty climbed 180.85 points to close at 25,875.80. PTI HG HG DR DR

Russian Foreign Minister says Moscow "still ready" for Putin-Trump summit

Moscow [Russia], November 13 (ANI): Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has indicated that Moscow is ready to resume preparations for a Russia-US summit meeting over Ukraine, state media reported.A meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin planned in the Hungarian capital of Budapest did not materialise last month. “We are still ready to hold the second Russian-US summit in Budapest, if it really relies on the work on Alaska results. The date has not been agreed. Russian-US contacts continue,” Lavrov said as reported by TASS which cited his interview with Italy’s Corriere della Sera, which the Russian state media said has refused to publish it. As per a report in the Financial Times Russia had sent a memo to the US listing hardline demands, which forced officials in Washington to cancel the Putin-Trump Budapest meeting.According to TASS, Lavrov said the newspaper report contained many instances of false information. The Russian Foreign Minister claimed the memo was meant to remind the US side of what had been discussed and agreed upon between the Russian and US leaders during their meeting in Alaska earlier in August.Lavrov said that the newspaper “distorted the essence and the sequence of events to blame Moscow and misdirect Donald Trump of the path he has offered, i.e. a path toward a sustainable and lasting peace rather than an immediate ceasefire, where Zelensky’s European sponsors, who are obsessed with an idea of taking a breather and flooding the Nazi regime with weapons to continue the war against Russia, are seeking to drag him into.”On October 16, Trump had a phone conversation with Putin and both leaders agreed to meet in Budapest, Hungary for a second summit this year. Both sides had confirmed that Lavrov and the US Secretary of State Rubio would coordinate ahead of the meeting.The two leaders had earlier this year in August met in Anchorage, Alaska. (ANI)

No Foreign Hand, Says Sheikh Hasina On Claims Of US Involvement In Bangladesh Upheaval | Exclusive

Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina has dismissed suggestions that the United States played an active role in supporting groups that sought her removal from power under the pretext of “restoring democracy”. Speaking to CNN-News18’s Manoj Gupta in her first extensive conversation since leaving Dhaka, Hasina said Bangladesh has maintained “good relationships with successive US administrations” and that there is “no reason to believe” Washington or other foreign powers were directly involved in the country’s political developments. Though she acknowledged that the country’s interim leader, economist Muhammad Yunus, had built a network of influential supporters in the West, Hasina said many of those admirers had mistaken his economic reputation for democratic credibility. “While Yunus has cultivated a network of influential Western admirers from his work as an economist, those who admired him mistook his economic theories for democratic credentials. Now, this illusion is fading, and those admirers are increasingly seeing him for what he is: an unelected head of state who has placed radical extremists in his cabinet, dismantled Bangladesh’s constitution, and stood silent while minorities have been oppressed,” she said. Hasina also said US President Donald Trump, with whom she said she had “very good relations,” had publicly expressed his dislike of Yunus. The ex-PM added: “If Westerners think Yunus is a friendly face, they are being fooled. In fact, he is being used as the frontman by the extremists in his administration, who are pursuing a sectarian, score-settling, and socially regressive domestic agenda.” Hasina’s remarks come amid continued debate over the extent of foreign involvement in Bangladesh’s political transition and the role of Western governments in shaping perceptions of democracy in the country. However, the former prime minister gave a clean chit to the United States, noting instead that the Western powers were blinded by the “illusion” Yunus put up.

Juhi Chawla was born on November 13, 1967, in Ambala, Haryana. From a young age, she harboured a passion for modelling and acting. At just 17, she won the Miss India title, instantly attracting widespread attention. Following her coronation, film offers began to pour in. Juhi Chawla made her acting debut in 1986 with the film Sultanat. Though the film failed at the box office, she remained undeterred and continued honing her craft. She briefly worked in South Indian cinema before turning her focus to Bollywood. Juhi Chawla’s breakthrough came with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, opposite Aamir Khan, which propelled her to stardom overnight. Over the years, Juhi Chawla delivered numerous hit films including Pratibandh, Bol Radha Bol, Aaina, Ishq, Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, and Darr. Her infectious smile and bubbly persona won audiences over, and she proved her versatility in comic roles as well, earning praise for films such as Mr. and Mrs. Khiladi, Deewana Mastana, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman and Yes Boss. Juhi Chawla’s personal life is equally noteworthy. She met her husband, Jay Mehta, in 1992 while filming Kaarobar with Anil Kapoor. At the time, Jay Mehta had lost his first wife in a plane crash. Initially friends, their bond gradually deepened, with Juhi Chawla supporting him through his grief. They married in 1995 and have two children, daughter Janhvi and son Arjun. However, the lead-up to their wedding was marked by profound sorrow. Wedding invitations had been sent across the country and abroad, and thousands were expected to attend, given Jay Mehta’s prominence as a businessman. But just before the ceremony, Juhi Chawla’s mother passed away, leaving her devastated. Her mother-in-law offered comfort, saying, “If you don’t want a grand wedding, we won’t. If you want to focus on your career, then do that. Do what makes you happy. Because you are my daughter, not my daughter-in-law.” Consequently, Juhi Chawla’s wedding was a simple affair. She often reflects how life gave her a second mother. Throughout her career, Juhi Chawla has received numerous accolades, including two Filmfare Awards, along with several nominations for major honours. She garnered critical acclaim for films like Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, and has been recognised repeatedly for her impeccable comic timing. Beyond acting, Juhi Chawla is also a successful entrepreneur and a business partner of Shah Rukh Khan. In the 2025 Rich List, she was named India’s wealthiest actress. According to the Hurun India Rich List 2025, Juhi Chawla holds a net worth of Rs 7,790 crore.

Mercury continues free fall in Kashmir; Srinagar coldest at minus 2.1 degrees

Srinagar, Nov 12 (SocialNews.XYZ) Temperature across Kashmir Valley continued to drop further on Thursday as Srinagar city recorded its coldest night at minus 2.1 degrees Celsius. Pahalgam hill station recorded minus 3.8 degrees, and Gulmarg had 0.5 minimum temperature. The Meteorological (MeT) Department officials said that the minimum temperature is expected to drop further in the coming days in the Valley. “As expected, the minimum temperature dropped to minus 2.1 degrees Celsius in Srinagar today, which is the lowest this season so far. The night temperature is likely to drop further in the coming days,” the MeT officials said. The weather department has forecast generally dry weather from November 13 to November 15, generally cloudy weather towards the afternoon on November 16 and then dry weather between November 17 to November 19. Jammu city recorded 10.2, Katra town 9.5, Batote 2.9 and Bhaderwah one degree as the minimum temperature. Due to the present cold wave in the Valley, people have started wearing woollens, including the traditional tweed overgarment called the ‘Pheran’. An earthen pot woven in willow wicker filled with live charcoal called the ‘Kangri’ is kept under the ‘Pheran’ to ward off cold during the winter months. People with a history of chest ailments, elders and children have been cautioned by local doctors not to expose themselves for longer periods, as cold air inhaled by people with lower immunity causes chest-related diseases. The 40-day-long period of harsh winter cold called the ‘Chillai Kalan’ begins each year on December 21 and ends on January 30. During this period, most water bodies in the Valley freeze either partially or completely, depending upon the severity of winter cold. Drinking water taps also freeze during the Chillai Kalan, and locals have to battle with small fires lit around the water taps to de-freeze them. During extreme winter cold, even the day temperature rarely rises above 7 degrees Celsius in the Valley. Source: IANS

Flag hoisting ceremony: Construction agencies asked to vacate Ram Temple premises in Ayodhya

New Delhi, Nov 13 (SocialNews.XYZ) Preparations are in full swing for the grand flag-hoisting ceremony at the Ram Janmabhoomi complex in Ayodhya, scheduled for November 25, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hoist the saffron dhwaj (flag) atop the spire of the Lord Ram Temple. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has directed all executing and construction agencies to vacate the premises by November 15, allowing time for elaborate decorations to begin. According to temple officials, this year's celebrations will be even more magnificent, with all subsidiary temples dedicated to Lord Mahadev, Lord Ganesh, Lord Hanuman, Suryadev, Maa Bhagwati, Maa Annapurna, and Sheshavatar adorned alongside the main Ram Temple. The rituals and flag-hoisting ceremonies will be conducted by 108 Acharyas from Ayodhya, Kashi, and South India, under the leadership of noted Kashi scholar Ganeshwar Shastri. The saffron flag, bearing the symbol of the Sun, represents the eternal energy and divine radiance associated with Lord Ram, signifying victory, virtue, and enlightenment. Earlier on Monday, while speaking to reporters, Ram Temple Construction Committee Chairman Nripendra Mishra said, "The discussions and preparations are focused on the Prime Minister's programme. We are ensuring proper arrangements for his visit so that he can tour the temple premises and review all ongoing construction works. The plan will be finalised based on suggestions from the Prime Minister's Office." He added that the main temple structure and six subsidiary shrines have already been completed, marking a major milestone in the decades-long temple project. "Most of the work is completed. Now the attention is being paid to the beautification of the temple premises, including the plantations," Mishra said. On the upcoming flag-hoisting event, Mishra noted that technical preparations are being carefully overseen. "We want the flag to be hoisted atop the temple's main spire, and for that, certain technical requirements are being examined. Experts from the Defence Ministry, who specialise in such work, are assisting to ensure that the ceremony on November 25 goes smoothly without any issues." The event, expected to draw dignitaries, saints, and devotees from across the country, marks another historic moment in Ayodhya's transformation into a grand spiritual and cultural centre.

Army Was Stuck Between Constitution & Chaos, Intervention Meant Bloodshed, Says Sheikh Hasina | Exclusive

In her first extensive conversation since leaving Dhaka, former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has described the military’s position during last year’s August upheaval as an “impossible situation”, caught between defending the constitutional government and preventing mass casualties on the streets. Speaking exclusively to CNN-News18’s Manoj Gupta, Hasina said that by early August, the protests that began over civil service quotas had morphed into violent unrest driven by “radical agitators”, turning the capital into a battlefield where the chain of command, public order, and the state’s authority were under threat simultaneously. Hasina said the scale of street violence left the Army in a bind: upholding the Constitution meant pushing back an inflamed mob, but intervention risked bloodshed on a scale Bangladesh had not seen in years. “The military was faced with an impossible situation: defending a constitutional government against overwhelming mob violence while avoiding any further loss of life,” she said. According to her, discussions with the military leadership revolved entirely around preventing a “complete breakdown in law and order”, safeguarding civilians, and ensuring her family’s safety. She did not directly attribute her exit to the Army Chief, General Waker-uz-Zaman, emphasising instead that the military was attempting to walk a tightrope in a collapsing environment. “Whether or what kind of external pressure influenced decisions, I cannot say,” she added, stressing that her criticism was not aimed at the army but at those who exploited the chaos. Hasina maintains that her departure was a matter of survival once violence surged and state structures came under strain. She said remaining in Dhaka would have endangered not just her but “those around me”. Only later, she claimed, did the “premeditated nature” of the power shift become apparent, pointing to Muhammad Yunus’s rapid assumption of authority, the immunity granted to perpetrators of last summer’s violence, and the dissolution of the inquiry her government had set up. But the military’s dilemma, she insisted, lay at the heart of the crisis. The constitutional government could not be defended without confronting the mobs; confronting them risked escalating casualties at a moment when international scrutiny was high and foreign actors were watching Bangladesh closely. Despite her criticism of the current regime, Hasina was careful not to accuse the Army of betrayal, instead portraying them as officers trapped in a historic moment where every option carried grave consequences. Her appeal, she said, was only that Bangladesh must return to “constitutional rule through free, fair, and inclusive elections” so that the military is never again placed in a situation where defending the elected government risks mass violence. She warned that without elections, Bangladesh risks slipping towards a hybrid or extremist-influenced system, and urged India and regional partners to press Dhaka for an electoral roadmap.

Trump Signs Bill to End Longest US Shutdown

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump signed a bill Wednesday to end the longest government shutdown in US history -- 43 days that paralyzed Washington and left hundreds of thousands of workers unpaid while Republicans and Democrats played a high-stakes blame game. The Republican-led House of Representatives voted largely along party lines to approve a Senate-passed package that will reopen federal departments and agencies, as many Democrats fume over what they see as a capitulation by party leaders. Trump lashed out at Democrats as he put his signature to the bill later in the Oval Office, urging Americans to remember the chaos when voting in hotly contested US midterm elections in a year's time. "Today we are sending a clear message that we will never give in to extortion," said Trump, surrounded by gleeful Republican lawmakers including House Speaker Mike Johnson. Johnson had earlier pointed the finger at the minority party in a withering floor speech before the vote. "They knew that it would cause pain, and they did it anyway," he said. "The whole exercise was pointless. It was wrong and it was cruel." The package funds military construction, veterans' affairs, the Department of Agriculture and Congress itself through next fall, and the rest of government through the end of January. Around 670,000 furloughed civil servants will report back to work, and a similar number who were kept at their posts with no compensation -- including more than 60,000 air traffic controllers and airport security staff -- will get back pay. The deal also restores federal workers fired by Trump during the shutdown, while air travel that has been disrupted across the country will gradually return to normal. Trump falsely accused Democrats of costing the country $1.5 trillion. While the full financial toll of the shutdown has yet to be determined, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that it has caused $14 billion in lost growth. - 'Not backing away' - Johnson and his Republicans had almost no room for error as their majority is down to two votes. Democratic leadership -- furious over what they see as their Senate colleagues folding -- had urged members to vote no and all but a handful held the line. Although polling showed the public mostly on Democrats' side throughout the standoff, Republicans are widely seen as having done better from its conclusion. For more than five weeks, Democrats held firm on refusing to reopen the government unless Trump agreed to extend pandemic-era tax credits that made health insurance affordable for millions of Americans. Election victories in multiple states last week gave Democrats further encouragement and a renewed sense of purpose. But a group of eight Senate moderates broke ranks to cut a deal with Republicans that offers a vote in the upper chamber on health care subsidies -- but no floor time in the House and no guarantee of action. Democrats are now deep in a painful reckoning over how their tough stance crumbled without any notable win. Democratic leadership is arguing that -- while their health care demands went largely unheard -- they were able to shine the spotlight on an issue they hope will power them to victory in the 2026 midterm elections. "Over the last several weeks, we have elevated successfully the issue of the Republican health care crisis, and we're not backing away from it," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told MSNBC. But his Senate counterpart Chuck Schumer is facing a backlash from the fractious progressive base for failing to keep his members unified, with a handful of House Democrats calling for his head. Outside Washington, some of the party's hottest prospects for the 2028 presidential nomination added their own voices to the chorus of opprobrium. California Governor Gavin Newsom called the agreement "pathetic," while his Illinois counterpart JB Pritzker said it amounted to an "empty promise." Former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg called it a "bad deal.
