US shutdown talks stall ahead of deadline

Talks between congressional Republicans and Democrats aimed at averting another US government shutdown have broken down without agreement, the BBC reports.
The negotiators were hoping for a deal by Monday to give Congress time to pass legislation by Friday, when last month's federal funding deal runs out.
The disagreement centres on President Donald Trump's insistence on a bill that funds a US-Mexico border wall.
The previous shutdown, lasting 35 days, was the longest in US history.
