Democrats have vowed to pass bills that would end a government shutdown as they took control of the US House of Representatives on Thursday. But the bills will not include funding for President Donald Trump's Mexican border wall, the cause of the shutdown. The impasse will therefore continue, as Republicans still control the Senate and say they will not pass the funding bills without Mr Trump's approval. The partial shutdown has now lasted 13 days, affecting some 800,000 workers. Shutdowns occur when Congress fails to approve a budget for government operations, or the president refuses to sign it, by a certain deadline. Mr Trump's Republicans had passed a budget bill including $5bn (£4bn) funding for the wall in December, when they still had a majority in the House but they could not get the necessary 60 votes in the 100-seat Senate. The House majority has passed to the Democrats following the November mid-term elections. The impact of the government shutdown The remarkable comeback of America's most powerful woman Lawmaker to take oath on Jefferson's Koran What are the Democrats planning? Nancy Pelosi, who is the new House majority leader, said the Democrats would quickly pass budget legislation providing sufficient funds to end the shutdown. But she was quite clear what it would not include. Speaking on the Today show on Thursday, she reiterated: "Nothing for the wall." "There is no amount of persuasion he can do to say to us, 'We want you to do something that is not effective, that costs billions of dollars,'" she said. "That sends the wrong message about who we are as a country." Ms Pelosi also said she believed a sitting president could be indicted - although Justice Department guidelines disagree. How women are changing the face of Congress How US mid-terms just got worse for Trump The Democrats will try again to pass the blame for the shutdown on to the president, pointing out that the bills they will pass would be similar to legislation that had won bipartisan support in the Senate in December before Mr Trump signalled he would not back it. "We're asking the president to open up government," Ms Pelosi said. "We have given the Republicans a chance to take yes for an answer." One Democrat bill would temporarily fund the Department of Homeland Security until 8 February, while another measure would fund other departments closed by the partial shutdown until 30 September. The Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, has said Republicans there will not back measures that Mr Trump does not support. He called the Democrats' move a "total nonstarter" and a "political sideshow". The BBC's David Willis says the legislation would be dead on arrival in the Senate.

Price: From £1.6m (est) On sale: Sold out Two years ago McLaren announced it was working on a spiritual successor to its iconic F1 supercar. Called the Speedtail, it will mimic the original car by having three seats, with the driver in the centre. The supercar will have a top speed exceeding 243mph, making it the fastest model the Woking firm has built. But McLaren says it is geared towards grand touring and luxury, rather than lap records. Power figures have still to be confirmed, but the Speedtail will feature a hybrid powertrain that is likely to partner an electric motor with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine.

Andy Murray's latest comeback ended after he was outplayed by Russia's Daniil Medvedev in the second round of the Brisbane International. The Briton, in his first tournament since September, pushed Medvedev before the world number 16 took control at the end of the first set. Murray, 31, looked to wane as the 22-year-old continued to overpower him and win 7-5 6-2 in one hour and 21 minutes. The Scot is ranked 240th in the world after playing six tournaments in 2018. "When you play better players they will expose any errors that you make in your game or any shots that you're not hitting particularly well. And he did that," Murray said. After his opening round win over Australian wildcard James Duckworth, Murray admitted he did not know how much longer he would be able to play top-level tennis after hip surgery last January. His next scheduled tournament is the Australian Open - the first Grand Slam of the year, which starts on 14 January - although he could decide to take a wildcard for next week's Sydney International. Konta and Dart out in Brisbane Live scores, schedule and results Alerts: Get tennis news sent to your phone How was Murray's movement? Questions still remain about the level Murray will be able to reach following hip surgery a year ago, with many fans wondering if his game can ever return to the same standard that made him one of the world's best players. His latest comeback - his first tournament since losing at the Shenzhen Open in September - started with a comfortable win over Duckworth, but Medvedev was always going to provide a sterner test. Murray competed well in the opening set against a player regarded as one of the rising stars on the ATP Tour, but his lack of fitness and match practice eventually showed, understandably, in the early stage of another return. The former world number one proved his fighting qualities have not diminished, battling back from dropping serve in the third game to level again for 4-4. However, Murray lost serve for 6-5 in the first set - and that proved decisive. Fourth seed Medvedev held serve to wrap up the opener, then raced into a 4-0 lead in the second as Murray appeared to start struggling with his movement. Murray, a two-time champion in Brisbane, rallied to hold serve twice but did not look like making a serious impact on his younger opponent's serve. Medvedev continued to control the match, making only three unforced errors in the second set, going on to take the second of three match points with his 16th ace. "He served extremely well and I didn't really get many chances on his service games," Murray said. "And then on my own service games I made a few too many errors in the rallies, especially early on - I was trying to play a little bit more offensive. "In the second set, I made a few too many mistakes, and obviously there was a period in the match from 5-5 where I lost six games in a row." Murray, one of the most po[CENSORED]r players on the tour, looked upset as he waved to all sides of the stadium before leaving the court to a standing ovation. "It is always tough against Andy," Medvedev said. "I don't know what ability he is at now but he is one of the champions of our sport so it is never easy." Edmund and Konta also out as British interest ends Murray's exit ended British interest in Brisbane, with his defeat coming shortly after Kyle Edmund - the man who replaced him as British number one - also lost. Edmund, the world number 14 and third seed, suffered a shock defeat by Japan's world number 185 Yasutaka Uchiyama, who won 7-6 (8-6) 6-4. The Yorkshireman, who had a bye in the first round, failed to convert two set points in the opening set against the qualifier. He was broken to love in the third game of the second set and Uchiyama went on to wrap it up quickly. In the women's event, Johanna Konta's campaign also ended in round two after defeat by Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic, while British number four Harriet Dart lost 6-2 6-0 to Latvian world number 11 Anastasija Sevastova.

A manhunt is under way in Houston, Texas, for a gunman who attacked a young family in a drive-by shooting, killing a seven-year-old girl. Jazmine Barnes, her three sisters and mother, LaPorsha Washington, were driving when an unknown man pulled up alongside them and opened fire. Jazmine and Ms Washington were shot, and the seven-year-old died in the backseat as a result of her wounds. Police believe they were targeted at random and have not confirmed a motive. Authorities say the unidentified gunman is a bearded white male in his 40s, wearing a red sweatshirt, according to Ms Washington's 15-year-old daughter, who got a glimpse of the man. He reportedly pulled up beside the family's car in a red pickup truck on Sunday morning and began firing with no provocation, Harris County Police said. "We're going to leave every motive out there as a possibility," Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said during a news conference on Monday, according to the Houston Chronicle. Ms Washington, 30, was shot in the arm during the attack and her six-year-old daughter was injured by the broken glass. From her hospital bed, Ms Washington tearfully told KHOU 11 News: "I replayed this moment in my head over a million times to see - did I cut this man off?

A small van has ploughed into pedestrians celebrating the new year on one of Tokyo's most famous streets. The man driving the car fled the scene but was later arrested by police for attempted murder. Nine people were injured, one seriously, by the attacker who struck in the Harajuku fashion district shortly after midnight. The street, which was sealed off to traffic, was packed with people heading to a shrine for New Year's prayers. The 21-year-old driver of the van was identified as Kazuhiro Kusakabe. Police told broadcaster NHK that he initially told them he had conducted a terrorist act, but then later claimed it was related to executions. It was not clear if he was referring to a specific execution or capital punishment in general. Kyodo news agency cites investigative sources saying a tank of kerosene had been found in his car and that he had allegedly planned to set the vehicle on fire.

As their stories change, conflicting testimonies emerge and rumours spread amongst the community, it's down to the police to unpick the mystery of what really went on that night. With the critical hard evidence and real truths finally eked out, almost a year to the day after the crash, the truth emerges.

Chelsea increased the gap between themselves and fifth-placed Arsenal to five points as N'Golo Kante's second-half strike earned them victory at Crystal Palace. Kante scored the only goal of the game in the 51st minute when he broke forward from midfield to convert David Luiz's throughball. There were few clear-cut chances as the Blues dominated possession and Palace sat back hoping to catch the opposition on the counter-attack - a tactic which failed to work as Roy Hodgson's Eagles took 85 minutes to register their first effort. That is now two successive games without a goal. Chelsea's Willian came close to scoring with a free-kick that struck the post, and Ross Barkley also hit the woodwork with a hooked effort. Fourth-placed Blues now have 43 points, one behind City and two behind Spurs. Palace remain in 14th with 19 points. The Kante of 2018-19 is made up of different spec to previous models. Gone is the role of anchor man in midfield - the ball-winner who would allow other midfielders to make forays into the opposition's final third. The remodelled version has been given permission to burst forward from the right of a midfield trio. During a largely nondescript opening 45 minutes, he made two runs into the Palace box - the first resulting in a strike that missed Vicente Guaita's far post by two feet. Sarri's perseverance with the tactic paid off six minutes after the break when Kante grabbed his third goal of the season after again breaking from midfield. This time it was defender Luiz the provider, with a threaded pass that found the Frenchman whose shot had enough power to beat the hand of the former Valencia keeper. Willian also went close for the Blues with a free-kick that came off the Palace post, while fellow midfielder Barkley hooked a shot from close range that grazed the woodwork. It was a competent if unremarkable display from Sarri's side, but they did not have to break sweat against a lifeless Palace attack. Defensive Palace forget to attack This was an utterly forgettable display by Palace. They defended admirably but appeared to show little desire to put pressure on the opposition backline. Their first effort on goal came in the 85th minute when Wilfried Zaha fired wide and high, before substitute Connor Wickham's strike from six yards resulted in a similar outcome. Hodgson grimaced from the sidelines as must have the Palace supporters inside Selhurst Park.

At least 17 people have been killed in clashes between ruling party supporters and the opposition as Bangladesh holds a general election. Polls have closed and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is the overwhelming favourite to win a third term. But the Bangladesh Election Commission told Reuters it had heard vote-rigging allegations from "across the country" and would investigate. Ms Hasina's main rival is serving a jail term for corruption. Bangladesh grows tired of the Battling Begums The build-up to the poll was marred by violence and accusations of a crackdown against the opposition. Some 600,000 security personnel were deployed to prevent clashes. The authorities ordered high-speed internet be shut down until after the vote to prevent the spread of "rumours" that might spark unrest. How did voting go? Minutes before polls opened, a BBC correspondent saw filled ballot boxes at a polling centre in the port city of Chittagong. The presiding officer declined to comment. Only ruling party polling agents were present at that and several other polling centres in the second largest city of the country. At least 28 candidates from the main opposition alliance withdrew before polling closed, alleging vote rigging and intimidation. More than 100 million people were eligible to vote but reports suggest turnout has been low. The governing Awami League (AL) said that, despite sporadic incidents, voting was held in a festive atmosphere. The BBC's South Asia regional editor, Anbarasan Ethirajan, says that if the opposition claim of widespread vote rigging is proven, it could question the legitimacy of the new government. Why is this election important? Bangladesh is a Muslim-majority nation of more than 160 million people and faces issues ranging from possibly devastating climate change, Islamist militancy, endemic poverty and corruption. The country has recently been in the international spotlight as hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims have fled there from neighbouring Myanmar The lead-up to the election saw violence between rival supporters and a crackdown on dissent by a government that critics say has only grown more authoritarian during its 10 years in power. Activists, observers and the opposition party warned that the vote would not be fair. The governing party has accused the opposition of peddling false claims. Ms Hasina told the BBC on Friday: "On the one hand, they are placing allegations, on the other hand, they are attacking our party workers, leaders. That is the tragedy in this country."
