If Washington can't reach a deal, a government shutdown will begin at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.

Death toll at 60 in Mumbai building collapse

The death toll from the five-story building collapse in Mumbai rose to 60 on Sunday, authorities said.

Fearing they may have pulled out the last of the survivors, officials have now ended their rescue operation, said Sachidanand Gawde of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF).

Thirty three people were pulled out alive from the building since it collapsed Friday.
