a pause to. us point credible always the real all we've done is block out the mud from a room and then allow it to come through the small hole they were served one of science cannot go into marriage on al-jazeera. it's really up to the democrats totally up to the democrats as to whether or not we have a shutdown showdown ahead of a possible shutdown the senate debates president trump's five billion dollar demond to fund his border wall projects.

will come on peter w. watching al-jazeera live from our headquarters here in doha also coming up. the u.n. approves observers to monitor a fragile cease fire around the yemeni port city of new data. by bought out on the streets again hungary and protest after a so-called slave law comes into force. violence in a town split between ethiopia and kenya we report on what's fueling the crisis. the u.s. federal government is just hours away from a partial shutdown after president from refused to back down on funding for his border war with mexico now he's demanding nearly six billion dollars to build the barrier a draft spending bill passed by the house of representatives on thursday allocated

the funds for it but it is expected to be rejected in the senate if no deal is reached parts of the u.s. government will begin to close at midnight eastern time on friday that's five hours g.m.t. on saturday morning order security. and the republicans in the senate as you know are taking it up today and it's really up to the democrats totally up to the democrats as to whether or not we have a shutdown. it's possible that we'll have a shutdown i would say the chances are probably very good because i don't think democrats. i care so much about maybe this issue but this is a very big issue it's an issue of pride in our meeting in the oval office president trump said quote if we don't get what we want i president will shut down the government i am proud to shut down shut it down said president trump i'm not going to blame you meaning democrats i will take the mantle of shutting it down

those are president trump's words and nothing he says or does today can undo that no democrat has called for shutting the government there live to washington and my colleague mike mike what way do we think this is going to go. well this being very interesting developments in the senate to the senate leader mitch mcconnell acknowledging the inevitable saying that there is simply not the sixty votes needed to endorse that bill that was passed in the house thursday the decision now there was a vote in the senate but this was a procedural one and the decision taken was that there will be no further vote until there is total agreement on a funding bill now it's going to be left to the senate leaders to negotiate that with the president and his advisers so essentially members of the house have gone home and they're going to be back on saturday hoping that the senate does come to some kind of decision but at the moment the negotiations are in the hands of the

senate leaders along with the president who has canceled his shed trip to florida waiting to talk to the senate representatives as well as his advisers peter mike i thought it was mexico that was going to pay for the wall because mr trump spent so long on the campaign trail and so many months in the early days of his administration saying we're going to build the wall it will be gorgeous it'll be beautiful and the mexicans will pay for it. indeed yes he did say that but he said many many things about the wall as recently as the beginning of this week he was saying that he did not need the six billion dollars from congress he would find other ways to fund it perhaps go to members of his cabinet and get them to release some of the funds from their departments so president trump has been backwards and forwards he said many things about the wall saying many things about how it's going to get funded and while all these negotiations were going on today there was president trump tweeting out an image of what he calls his beautiful wall

a series of steel slats with very sharp tops clearly to prevent people from climbing over them but the fact that the president did send him to go see a team to the hill comprising office chief of staff mick mulvaney his vice president by prince and his close adviser jared kirshner they spoke to leaders both in the house and in the senate in the course of the afternoon and evening they are carrying on those discussions the fact that he did send out a negotiating team gave senators some hope that there may be some compromise on president trump's part mike will leave it there thanks very much. cheers thanks. well the looming shutdown is also speaking the already unsettled u.s. stock market the dow jones plunged to its worst week since the financial crisis of two thousand and eight down nearly seven percent concerns of slowing economic

a breakthrough in the civil war here's our diplomatic it is a james ways from the u.n. headquarters building in new york. this resolution passed unanimously endorses the deployment of u.n. monitors to yemen i'm told the first advance team could be there in her data in a matter of hours they will then decide how many monitors there should be i'm told mission they were talking about thirty but they could go up to a figure of one hundred sixty seven the other thing the security council hopes this will do is bring momentum to the peace process with more talks to you in january the u.k. ambassador was the one who drafted this resolution the most important matter now is that we turn to urgent implementation it's vital that the parties finally thier neck commitments to pave the way for a formal mean launch of negotiations and at the same time mr president delivering real improvements on the ground that make

a tangible difference to ordinary yemenis there were some tough negotiations to get this passed including an unseemly ryle between two allies the u.k. and the u.s. i'm told it even went to the office of the foreign secretary and the secretary of state one of the things that's come out of the original draft resolution drawn up by the u.k. is the provision of accountability for crimes under international humanitarian law that something that would have targeted the saudi led coalition it seems the u.s. has been doing the coalition's bidding and got that section removed israeli forces have shot dead three palestinians including a sixteen year old boy during ongoing demonstrations in gaza more than one hundred fifty others were injured according to the palestinian health ministry the teenager who was shot in the neck has been named as mohammed jew. have been holding weekly protests for the rights of return for palestinian refugee use along the gaza israel border fence for almost nine months. demonstrators have rallied in hungary it's

these laws into being without having listened to us and they say they're determined to carry on we're hearing now that the trade unions are meeting and they intend to hold nationwide strikes it still remains to be seen whether this movement has enough momentum to keep going through christmas and into the new year but this opposition movement the left and the right. they say they are going to need to keep up the pressure and think up new ways to challenge that ministration. spain thirteen people have been arrested after pro independence supporters in catalonia for with the police the secessionists are protesting against the spanish government cabinet meeting in barcelona a year after the region's bid for independence was blocked is. blocked roads confrontations with police a far cry from the message spain's prime minister hoped to bring to the city

thousand police officers secured the streets just down the road in the middle of a palace surrounded by a sizable security cordon prime minister peres sancia held a meeting with his cabinet an area of relative calm away from the outpouring of anger outside of the spanish government has insisted it's doing this to advance talks with the council and leadership because. this is the only possible proposal the situation cannot be solved by continuing to fight one another it will. only be solved through dialogue negotiations and a bill that would be their sciences is offering. both sides concert green how to solve this spain's government continues to maintain the crisis can only be resolved within the law but the catalan government doesn't agree and sees it as a political maneuver to deny it further independence from madrid at this moment we are not that create what is the origin what is the nature of the conflict and how

to file a bit so we either start talking but i will r.t. seriously and with the best. with a breath aim to keep moving forward or this is not work it has been fourteen months since the outlawed referendum which triggered the current crisis emotions are running high on both sides but no path has yet been carved out to resolve the current standoff sony vaio al-jazeera barcelona still to come here on al-jazeera. he's a great soldier and he's been a remarkable minister and he's been a partner for all occasions america's allies and u.s. politicians on the follow after the sudden resignation of the u.s. defense secretary james mattis we'll have more for you and continue.
