Good morning from the Financial Times. Today is Monday, November 10th, and this is your

FT News briefing. The longest government shutdown in U.S. history is one step closer to ending.

Plus, COP 30 kicks off today in Brazil, and in the face of U.S. tariffs, India is encouraging consumers

to use homegrown messaging apps and other technology.

It was quite remarkable because last month, new signups rocketed from 3,000-8 to 350,000.

And this was basically boosted by the endorsements from key government figures and others.

I'm Victoria Craig, and here's the news you need to start your day.

The U.S. Senate cleared a crucial first hurdle late Sunday night to end America's longest government

shutdown, which is stretching into its 41st day. A small group of Democrats joined Republicans to vote in

favor of a procedural vote during the rare Sunday session. That paves the way for passage of a stopgap

bill that would keep the government funded until the end of

January. Legislation that passes the chamber will still need to go to the House of Representatives

for approval and then on to the White House for President Trump's signature. The hang-up has been on

Democrats' demands to extend health care tax credits due to expire at the end of this year. The deal agreed on Sunday

includes only an assurance a vote on the matter will be held no later than the middle of next

month. Be sure to stay tuned to Ft.com for all the very latest developments on the shutdown.

Politicians from around the world are gathering at the edge of the Amazon rainforest today

to kick off the UN's 30th annual climate change conference known as COP, and the Trump

administration is notably absent.

The question is, could that climate change skepticism from America and hopes

for fossil fuel expansion limit progress on any action agreed this year? The FT's climate correspondent,

Atracta Mooney, is in Bellum, Brazil. She joins me now. Hi, Atracta. Hi, how are you? Good thanks.
