no i'm fully back to watching al jazeera live from my headquarters in doha also coming up anger in the israeli parliament over the u.s. vice president's reassertion of jerusalem as the capital of israel. turkey intensifies its military operation in northwest syria and opens a new front in the town of a free and world leaders arrive in the swiss resort town of davos for the world economic forum but can the summit find a solution to global inequality. thank you for joining us at three day u.s. government shutdown has ended after politicians approved a bill to extend federal funding president trump has now signed the bill into law but the immigration dispute at the center of the crisis. as saw from resolved the

bill is only a stopgap measure allowing government funding to continue until february the eighth democrats agreed to support it after republicans will be a vote in the coming weeks on the status of undocumented migrants brought to the u.s. as children also known as dream as president donald trump tweeted the democrats had come to their senses he says he's open to an immigration deal but only if it's good for the country however deep divisions between the two sides remain how did you cast all reports from washington kicking the can down the road the phrase used to describe the now familiar practice of the us congress delaying a problem solution for another day the motion is adopted without objection a motion to reconsider is laid on the table on monday the house and senate voted to reopen the federal government until the brewery eighth that buys lawmakers three weeks to agree on a more permanent budget plan this is not a moment of better selves in the back not even close we very much need to heed the

lessons of what just happened here we need to move forward in good faith. but faith between the two parties is lacking particularly on immigration that issue was the source of the shutdown stalemate as democrats demanded protections for so-called dreamers young undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children and republicans refused monday's compromise as a concession from democrats to reopen the government under intense public pressure while accepting a promise from republicans to address immigration later we have not yet protected their create just young dreamers not only should we protect them we should embrace them value them we should be grateful for the inspiration they are to america all our important work for the american people to put all wallace manufactured crisis. we've made no substantive progress and i want to on the serious bipartisan

negotiation that will try to solve issues such as immigration and border security health care defense spending and many other matters come tuesday federal offices will reopen hundreds of thousands of government employees will return to their jobs and a sense of normalcy will return to washington after three days of chaos but the difficult job of negotiating a more permanent solution to immigration and to the budget will just be beginning weaving the country wondering whether another stalemate is just around the corner heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington david good friend is a former staff secretary to president bill clinton he says the funding crisis is likely to head republicans more than the democrats i don't think the american

people are persuaded that this is democrats causing a problem i think rather than the party that has this much political power is this inept at governing the voters we're already starting to see that just recently just today it was revealed in some polling that generic democratic candidates for congress are up twelve percentage points over incumbent republicans in house and senate races that is staggered it just to put it in perspective when newt gingrich in one thousand and four letter republican takeover of congress from the democrats republicans were up plus two points in order to college it's the democrats are ten points more in favor ability raised going into these midterm elections this year i don't think the republicans didn't sell anything leavers or less few hours. the opening date for the u.s. embassy which is moving from tel aviv to jerusalem has been brought forward to the end of two thousand nine hundred nineteen u.s. vice president mike pence made the announcement in israel but was briefing
