Billions in disaster aid. I'm Lisa Lucera, Fox News. President Biden calling on Congress to pass a $100 billion disaster aid package for victims of hurricanes Helene and Milton. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says it's necessary.

In some cases like the SBA, small business administration, funding's already dried up.

Without congressional action, the federal government may not be ready to respond to the next wave of disasters when they strike.

The Senate Appropriations Committee expected to hear from the heads of several government agencies that would get the funding through the request later this week.

The aid could be attached to any spending bill Congress passes by the end of the year.

A Senate panel said to hold a hearing tomorrow on incidents of Chinese hacking,

including a recent one involving U.S. telecommunications companies.

And panel chair, Connecticut Democrat Richard Blumenthal, says he plans to raise concerns about Elon Musk's potential conflicts of interest with China as must becomes more involved in government affairs.

The governments of Germany and Finland expressing concerns after the discovery of a severed undersea data cable that runs through the Baltic Sea, saying it raises suspicions of sabotage after the decision

by the U.S. and NATO to allow Ukraine to use long-range tactical weapons inside Russia.

President Biden's decision, I'm told by a senior U.S. official, was spurred by the Russian

decision to invite 10,000 North Korean soldiers into the fight against Ukraine in Kursk in western Russia along the Ukraine border.

A second U.S. official adds, it's not clear at this point whether the president plans to authorize the use of the attack arms or American long-range strike weapons beyond the Kersk region.

The Kremlin warning that Biden's decision adds fuel to the fire of the war and would

escalate international tensions even higher.

On Wall Street, the major index has ended the day mixed.

America's listening to Fox News.
