The death toll rose from 55, reported on Friday (Jan 19) after emergency services in the US state of Mississippi announced two more deaths. The total number of deaths in the state rose to eight, on Saturday (Jan 20) and have been attributed to road conditions and extreme cold.

“Frostbite and hypothermia are likely with prolonged outdoor exposure,” emergency officials in Mississippi said Saturday. Many of the deaths have been reported in the US states of Tennessee and Oregon.

At least 19 of the deaths occurred in Tennessee, a southern state which was largely unprepared for such extreme cold conditions. Meanwhile, at least nine deaths occurred in Oregon.&nbsp;

A bipartisan group of US senators on Thursday (January 20) introduced a legislation in US Congress that seeks to boost the country's acquisition of critical minerals and keep an eye on other countries 'of concern'. The legislation is also aimed towards addressing "information gaps" and establishing divestment process for American companies, reported South China Morning Post (SCMP).

The legislation, reportedly called Critical Minerals Security Act of 2024 would make it compulsory for US federal agencies to present a report to US Congress which would contain information about critical minerals and rare earth resources around the world.

When the bill is enacted the report will be due within a year and then once every two years.

According to the news report, US federal agencies would have to present information about the resources controlled by countries deemed "foreign entities of concern" like China, Iran, North Korea, Russia and which are under control of the US, it ally nations and partners.

Bill to reduce US dependence on Chinese minerals introduced in Congress

The US House of Representatives approved a crucial stopgap funding bill on Thursday, securing the federal government's financial support through early March and preventing a looming partial government shutdown.<o:p></o:p>

This is based on a Reuters report.<o:p></o:p>

The bill, passed with a vote of 314-108, now awaits President Joe Biden's final approval. This comes after the Senate's earlier approval with a decisive 77-18 vote, just ahead of the impending weekend deadline. <o:p></o:p>

"There will not be a shutdown on Friday," Reuters quoted Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.<o:p></o:p>

The swift approval of the stopgap bill was prompted by concerns over an impending snowstorm on Friday that could have complicated lawmakers' travel plans for the weekend. <o:p></o:p>

The bipartisan effort, however, faced opposition from 106 Republicans and two Democrats in the House. Despite divisions, the urgency to avert a government shutdown due to a lack of approved funding for the fiscal year that started on Oct. 1 took precedence. <o:p></o:p>

The stopgap bill, often referred to as a "continuing resolution" (CR), will maintain spending at the previous fiscal year's levels until March 1 and March 8, providing lawmakers additional time to finalize a comprehensive budget for various government agencies.<o:p></o:p>

The contentious budget negotiations in Congress, marked by partisan disagreements, have further complicated the funding process. Although Schumer and House Republican counterpart Mike Johnson initially agreed to a $1.59 trillion discretionary spending level for the fiscal year, their latest dispute reveals a stark division. <o:p></o:p>

Democrats now assert that the agreed-upon amount is $1.66 trillion, reflecting the deep-seated discord within the Congress. The national debt, currently standing at $34.4 trillion, adds urgency to the need for a coherent and comprehensive fiscal plan. The interest payments on this debt are a growing concern for the Treasury Department.<o:p></o:p>

This marks the third stopgap funding bill, with its primary aim to provide short-term financial stability while the Congress grapples with the daunting task of passing 12 bills that constitute the full-year budget. <o:p></o:p>

The temporary funding measure, with its March deadlines, allows lawmakers to extend negotiations without facing an immediate shutdown crisis. However, it highlights the underlying challenges in achieving a consensus on long-term spending priorities. <o:p></o:p>

House Republicans, especially those advocating for spending cuts, may pose challenges for Mike Johnson, reminiscent of the opposition faced by his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy.<o:p></o:p>

Despite internal party tensions, Johnson seems to have maintained some support from hardline members who, while expressing displeasure, acknowledge the complex nature of the situation. <o:p></o:p>

US Representative Mike Rogers, Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has issued a formal request to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, urging him to testify before the committee concerning his failure to disclose his recent hospitalisation. The request came in the form of a letter, where Chairman Rogers expressed his concerns about the lack of transparency surrounding Secretary Austin's health-related absence.

In the letter, Rogers said, "You promised full transparency into questions regarding the secrecy of your recent hospitalization. While you did respond to some of my questions I had for you, a concerning number of questions were not addressed."

"Specifically, I am alarmed that you refused to answer whether you instructed your staff to not inform the President of the United States or anyone else of your hospitalization. Unfortunately, this leads me to believe that information is being withheld from Congress. Congress must understand what happened and who made decisions to prevent the disclosure of the whereabouts of a cabinet secretary," the letter added.&nbsp;
