After weeks of political wrangling, the US Senate has approved a bill to extend government borrowing through early December by raising the debt ceiling by about half a trillion dollars. The bipartisan deal would avoid the US defaulting on its credit obligations on October 18, though another cliff edge would come on December 3. Plus, a private airline in Ukraine has introduced a new design for its cabin crew uniform, ditching high heels and skirts in favour of trainers and trousers.
