WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans and Democrats have reached agreement on a $1 trillion plan funding the government through September. The deal denies money for President Donald Trump's border wall and rejects his cuts to popular domestic programs. The measure also eliminates cuts to popular domestic programs targeted by Trump, such as medical research and infrastructure grants.

CANTON, Texas (AP) — The death of a north-central Arkansas fire chief struck by a vehicle while heavy thunderstorms moved through the state is being included in the state's count of weather-related fatalities, bringing the death toll to five. Arkansas State Police say Cove Creek/Pearson Fire Chief Doug Decker died early Sunday after being struck by a vehicle on Highway 25 near Quitman, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) north of Little Rock.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump approaches the week with the threat of a government shutdown still looming. He's also holding hope that lawmakers can make progress on health care. The latest GOP bill would let states escape a requirement under Barack Obama's 2010 law that insurers charge healthy and seriously ill customers the same rates. During a CBS interview, Trump insisted the measure has a "clause that guarantees" that people with pre-existing conditions will be covered.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — President Rodrigo Duterte's spokesman says U.S. President Donald Trump has called the Philippine leader and expressed Washington's commitment to their treaty alliance and his interest in developing "a warm, working relationship" with Duterte. Presidential spokesman Ernie Abella said Sunday that Trump mentioned he was looking forward to visiting the Philippines in November to attend an East Asia summit that Duterte will host with several world leaders.

FUSSA, Japan (AP) — Residents living near U.S. military bases in Japan are facing a fresh reality: Their neighborhoods are on the frontline of North Korea's dispute with America and if Pyongyang were to attack they would have just several minutes to shelter from incoming missiles. Locals have mixed feelings with some seeing escape as "impossible" and others shrugging off the potential threat completely.
