The government shutdown is in its 29th day and the Senate has no plans to vote today on a measure that would reopen it. The Trump administration says that the military will be paid, but thousands of air traffic controllers have missed their first full paycheck. Food assistance benefits are also set to expire for millions of Americans this weekend.        The Federal Reserve is set to make an announcement on interest rates later today. The Fed is widely expected to cut rates by a quarter percentage. The Fed's cut has a trickle-down effect on consumers, lowering mortgage, credit card and auto loan interest rates.        President Trump will meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping [[ she jeen-peeng ]] tonight in South Korea. Trump said this meeting is something very important to the entire world and he believes everything will work out very well for everybody. China has said it's willing to work with the U.S. as the two nations have yet to agree on a trade deal.        Hurricane Melissa is shifting across eastern Cuba. It will soon be back in the Atlantic Ocean as it heads towards The Bahamas. Flash flooding has been reported in Cuba as video on social media shows torrents of flood water rushing down the streets of the island country's second largest city, Santiago de Cuba.        A federal judge in California ruled yesterday that acting U.S Attorney Bill Essayli is unlawfully serving his role. The legitimacy of his position was challenged by the Federal Public Defender's Office in three pending criminal cases. They argue that Essayli improperly overstayed his interim appointment, which should result in his removal.        Game five of the World Series is set for tonight. Los Angeles Dodgers will host the Blue Jays one final time before the series shifts to Toronto for game six. The series is tied at two games a piece after the Blue Jays took game four last night by a score of six to two.
