Republicans mount fresh attempt to avert shutdown as deadline looms

Republicans are considering splitting a new bill into different parts for multiple votes, as they race to reach an agreement that would avoid a government shutdown.
 
The split bills would reportedly include one on extending government funding into March; another on hurricane disaster relief aid; and another on an extension of agriculture industry support.
 
Republicans convened to discuss the potential deal at 12:30 local time.
