give us their votes call it a democrat shutdown call it whatever you want but we need their help to get this approved so democrats we have a wonderful list of things that we need to keep our country safe let's get out let's work together let's be bipartisan and let's get it done the shutdown hopefully will not last long while the impost leaves a quarter of the government unfunded over the christmas holidays and. hundred thousand federal workers will continue to work without pay or be put on unpaid leave those affected include customs officers responsible for securing the us southern border with mexico the shutdown also has implications wild wide particularly on the economy who are straight so it's west we have losses in is with all major american indices down two to three percent on friday the prospect of a government shutdown also triggered a sell off in markets across the wild more from mike hanna in washington on this

vote the yeas are forty seven as evening fell it was clear there would be no agreement in the senate democrats adamant they would not vote for any bill that included funding for the border wall and the senate majority leader acknowledged the inevitable hope show democrats will work with the white house on an agreement they can both houses of congress and receive the president signature democrats have offered three proposals to keep the government open including a proposal offered by leader mcconnell that passed the senate unanimously only a few days ago we are willing to continue discussions on those proposals with the leader the president the speaker of the house and the leader of the house all five are necessary to get something done a procedural bill was pos that essentially places the onus on congressional leaders to strike

a compromise with the president we're not voting on anything else in this chamber. relative to this issue until a global agreement has been reached between the president and these two leaders and the leader of the house on thursday the house passed a funding bill that included five billion dollars will president trump's border wall or fence but without a vote in the senate the bull remains in limbo. and funding still not there for what president trump described as a beautiful wall tweeting out the image early in the day the president insisted he would not compromise and he were talking about five billion dollars so it's a tiny fraction but unfortunately. they've devoted their lives to making sure it doesn't happen but then he sent a team to negotiate with congressional leaders which included his chief of staff close adviser jared and the vice president house members went home for the night as

did many senators they hope that the president will back down and that the partial closure of government will last a matter of hours rather than days or weeks the president confirming in a tweet that he's canceled as should jule trip to florida adding while we wait to see if the democrats will help us to protect america's southern border maicon a washington while democrats say funding for the war is unnecessary because government statistics don't support his claims it will reduce crime the u.s. based cato institute has studied figures for the border state of texas and found conviction rates for immigrants were much lower than for those born in america out of seven hundred eighty five homicide convictions and twenty fifteen seven hundred nine with offenders born in america just forty six with the illegal immigrants and thirty five immigrants some u.s. commentators argue immigrants face fewer convictions but are arrested for more

crimes but the data shows the arrest rate is actually lower than for people born in america for more on this let's cross live to john hendren in washington d.c. john there's already a partial government shutdown in place but nor make is it you back on capitol hill for more discussions is there an end in sight. well right now it's at an impasse we've got members of the senate and the house all agreeing to meet again around noon local time here today but these senators have agreed that they're not going to move forward with anything until there's a global agreement you may have seen that in the story so the president is going to have to get together with his people and the leaders of the senate and come up with something the problem is there's really no common ground here the democrats don't want to vote for the border wall president trump wants five point seven billion dollars for that the democrats have been willing to give something to give money toward border patrol but they've been very specific saying they won't back a wall so if somebody is going to have to back down and right now president donald

trump does not seem to have the votes he needs a supermajority of sixty in order to push that through the house this senate rather or they would have to change the rules right now the democrats seem to have the upper hand and john all of this is essentially about trump holding fost about says border wall just how much of this is about him being stubborn i've read campaign promise and how much of this is actually about political expediency. where this is really the result of the november elections the democrats know that they will control the house come january so they are in no hurry to give this over to trump president trump has made these promises and whether he's able to get the wall through or not he can at least show his base supporters that he's done everything he can to try to do that including shutting the government down so he can get some p.r. points for that even if he doesn't make progress but eventually he's going to have to be some kind of agreement either a stopgap spending measure or some money toward border protection that doesn't go

for the wall of the democrats are to have their way eventually they're going to meet somewhere in the middle and nobody looks like they're going to blink right now and say john just realistically how long could this shutdown last. that is anyone's guess because it's happening over the christmas holiday season when much of the government would be shutdown anyway it doesn't have quite the same impact that it would otherwise however with every day especially as those federal workers are not being paid some of them and some are being forced to work without pay there's not be a lot of pressure those people will put pressure on their members of congress could be days could be weeks probably will not be months out as there is john hendren in washington thanks john u.s. president donald trump's decision on thursday to withdraw u.s. troops from syria surprised and angered many in washington and more questions are being raised about his foreign policy after reports of a possible withdrawal from forces of forces from afghanistan she have

a tansey has no there's been no shortage of voices in washington expressing dismay at donald trump's decision to withdraw troops from syria and the subsequent resignation of defense secretary james mattis i'm shaken by the news because of the patriot that general secretary. is. and now with reports that the president has ordered a withdrawal from afghanistan republican senator lindsey graham has called for congressional hearings on both decisions the foreign policy establishment is confronting one of its greatest fear is that trump meant what he said on the campaign trail we're worse in the middle east that we were fifteen years ago i mean right now it's a disaster once trump filled his cabinet with people who did not sure about view though the establishment thought it was safe to keep it's fair to say the establishment never wanted this moment to come stablished and that is certainly as a member of at established many good standing. is unwilling i think. ask and he's restored it questions about u.s. policy in the region and even if things haven't gone well let me have it there

canadian is simply to persist there is skepticism about how deeply geo strategic trumps decision was and whether the president will even follow through. but several issues are reported to have been involved in the syria decision including the primacy of the us a strategic relationship with turkey and the avoidance of mission creep. in the last few months national security advisor john bolton has made it clear that the us was in syria to confront iran that was a position explicitly rejected in the tweet that announced the withdrawal we have defeated isis in syria my only reason for being there during the trump presidency the president wrote the military itself is divided there are many senior officers in the military who think these serial deployments were improves the time just are working and their eroding or military readiness but it's worth remembering that even with these proposed withdrawals the u.s. still has tens of thousands of troops

a massive air power in the region she ever turns the outers ear of washington well fed the details are emerging about trump's decision to pull u.s. troops out of syria since twenty fourteen the u.s. military has been backing kurdish led forces who control much of wealth east and syria the decision to leave is seen as abandoning the ca's and handing a strategic advantage to iran and russia takis been calling for a us withdrawal and planning an offensive into the tuckers held territory it considers those cut his fighters as terrorists on friday president russia type out one welcome to trump of calling it an encouraging development and now reports are imagining that trump made the decision during a phone call without a while just days alyea without consulting any military or strategic advisors the white house rejects the description of the call center what it has more from the tacky syrian border. a recent phone call between the turkish and american president seems to have ironed out

a lot of differences between these two countries these two nato allies which have really had disputes over the syria strategy in recent years president ordered gone on friday in his speech outlining how this relationship has improved and how he sees eye to eye with president trump on issues regarding syria just a few days ago donald trump announced the withdrawal of american troops from northeast syria this is not just about a pullout this is about america choosing turkey over its ally the syrian kurdish armed group to wipe e.g. that the alliance really has angered turkey they've been angry that the u.s. has been giving the white p.g. weapons and training they consider the wipe e.g. a syrian offshoot of the outlawed kurdistan workers' party or the p.k. k. which has been waging an insurgency against the turkish state for decades now so turkey welcoming this decision and reports that there will be coordination in the upcoming phase turkey postponing a planned operation interest.
