President Trump will soon welcome Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese [[ Al-Buh-Nee-Zee ]] to the White House. They're expected to discuss access to Australia's rare and critical minerals as China has been exerting control over supplies. The two are also expected to discuss the larger issue of security in the Indo-Pacific region.        The federal government is now the third-longest in U.S. history as it drags on into another week. Democratic lawmakers remain dug in on efforts to extend healthcare subsidies while Republicans are demanding the government reopen before any negotiations. The Senate will meet this afternoon to try for an eleventh time to end the shutdown, which started October 1st.        Issues that impacted numerous popular website and apps have been "fully mitigated" according to Amazon. The issues started overnight with Amazon Web Services, which provides the online infrastructure for scores of sites and services. According to Downdetector, users of Zoom, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Alexa, Roblox, Venmo and many more were all hit with tech problems.        California Highway Patrol says two of its vehicles were hit by shrapnel after a 155-millimeter shell prematurely detonated during a live-fire demonstration at Camp Pendleton Saturday. The CHP vehicle and motorcycle were assigned to Vice President JD Vance's protective detail. No injuries were reported.        Philadelphia officials say human remains found over the weekend belong to 23-year-old Kada Scott. Police said the DNA found matches Scott's parents. Scott had been missing since October 4th and the remains were found Saturday night behind a former middle school.        Black Phone 2 is this weekend's winner at the box office. The sequel to the 2022 horror film took in just under 27-million dollars, beating out Tron: Aries, which grossed just over ten-million. Good Fortune took the third spot, with the Aziz Ansari, Seth Rogen and Keanu Reeves comedy making six-million dollars.
