Will the government come to a standstill soon? Republicans block in the US Senate

In the US, the danger of a partial standstill in government business is approaching from the end of the week. The Republicans blocked a formal vote in the US Senate on Monday evening (local time) on a proposal that was intended to secure government funding beyond the end of the budget year this Thursday.

The new financial year starts on October 1st, this Friday. If no budget regulation has been decided by then, parts of the government will shut down.
