Tonight on PBS News Weekend, on the brink of another government shutdown, we get the

latest from Capitol Hill.

Then after record breaking heat this summer, why certain areas of cities like Austin, Texas

are hotter than others.

We need to be thinking about what we need today, but also what are strategies we need to be

doing in the next year or two years as climate change gets worse.

And what to know about screening, diagnosis, and treatment of prostate cancer.

Good evening.

I'm John Yang.

On Capitol Hill, lawmakers are taking 11th hour efforts to avoid a government shutdown

at midnight tonight, right down to the wire.

This afternoon, the House overwhelmingly passed a 45-day temporary spending bill.

After House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, unable to overcome disagreements in his own party, turned

to House Democrats for help, and the end more Democrats voted for the bill than Republicans.

The measure includes the $16 billion in disaster relief money that President Biden wants,

but not the aid for Ukraine that many House Republicans don't want.

But that's only half of what's needed to avoid a shutdown.

The Senate has to approve the bill, too, and that could come as soon as tonight.

After the House vote, McCarthy acknowledged that hard-line Republicans could try to remove

him from the speakership because he reached out to Democrats for help.

When are you guys going to get over that it's all right that you put America first?

That's all right if Republican and Democrats join together to do what is right.
