Available for over a year

Democrats and Republicans have reached an agreement in principle on border security that could avoid a second US government shutdown. It is unclear whether President Donald Trump will endorse this. Police in Bulgaria are coordinating with British law enforcement in the probe of the non-fatal Novichok poisoning of three people connected to a weapons plan. And the International Committee of the Red Cross is trying an interactive experiment that gives participants a role in shaping the fate of civilians trapped in a war zone.
