Hi there, from CNN. I'm Charlie Drever with the five things you need to know for Monday, November 10th.

The longest government shutdown in US history is heading towards an end.

Yesterday, a critical block of eight centrist Senate Democrats helped advance a funding deal to reopen the government,

meaning Congress could end

the shutdown within days. With more on what's in the deal, here's CNN's Manu Raju.

The government would reopen up until January 30th. Also, it would prevent Trump administration

officials from doing mass firings of federal employees, would allow some federal employees who were fired in the past to get their jobs back, but it does not include language to extend

those subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. Instead, that ACA issue will be dealt with later as a

separate vote. Democrats won an assurance from the Senate Republican leader John Thune to schedule a vote

by the second week of December on an ACA specific bill, an Affordable Care Act specific bill.

But there is no guarantee that that will become law.

President Donald Trump has pardoned a long list of his political allies for their support or involvement in alleged plans to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

That's according to the DOJ's pardon attorney Ed Martin, who posted on X a list of names in the proclamation late last night.

The list includes high-profile figures like Trump

lawyers Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and the president's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows,

among dozens of others. It's worth noting that presidential pardons only apply to federal

charges, not state or local charges. The pardon also explicitly states that it does not apply to President Trump.

CNN has reached out to the White House and Martin's office for comment.

The Philippines has been hit by a second deadly typhoon in a week.

Officials say Typhoon Feng Wong has led to the evacuation of 1.4 million people and killed at least four people,

cutting off power in entire provinces.

CNN's Mike Valero has more on the storm's path.
