but not yet defeated as the president claims ago close defense secretary jim mattis out of the white house mattis quit on thursday telling president trump he had a right to have a secretary of defense whose views aligned better with his drums decision to the street to pull around two thousand soldiers out of syria has rattled the s.d.f. a kurdish led force american troops have been supporting they too say the war against arsenal has not ended well just eleven days ago brett mcgurk was updating the media about the importance of the u.s. staying in syria to combat eisel is what he said. well we multiple objectives in syria so the military objective could very clearly the military objective is the enduring defeat of isis and if we've learned one thing over the years and during defeat of a group like this means you can't just defeat their physical space and then leave you have to make sure the. internal security forces are in place to ensure that those gains security gains are enduring we have obviously learned
6:51 am
a lot of lessons in the past and we know that once a physical space is defeated we can't just pick up and leave us or we're prepared to make sure that we do all we can to ensure this is enduring no sign of that areas that we have cleared of isis that they have not returned or actually seize physical space there's kind of stunned cells nobody is saying that they're going to disappear nobody is that naive so we want to stay on the ground to make sure that stability can be maintained john hendren has been following events in washington d.c. and has the latest. in another high profile departure from the trumpet ministration brett mcgurk the head of the fight against eisel said he is resigning effective december thirty first mcgurk was one of the few holdovers from the obama administration back since two thousand and fifteen he was to have retired in february but apparently disagreed with the trumpet ministrations policy of pulling two thousand troops out of syria that was announced by the president in a tweet in the past few days and that also prompted defense secretary james mattis
6:52 am
to resign so the president seems to be having some defections here and disagreement over his policy in syria the president apparently realized that this was something of a sticking point for many people so he put out a tweet defending that decision saying quote on syria we were originally going to be there for three months and that was seven years ago we never left when i became president isis was going wild now isis is largely defeated and other local countries including turkey should be able to easily take care of whatever remains we are coming home the president said ending that tweet but if there is one thing that history has shown it is that i sold or before it al qaeda have been able to fill the vacuum successfully whenever they have occurred a question for the president and for that coalition is whether they can stop it from happening this time take a has put on hold a planned cross border offensive against kurdish how in northeast syria french

they call democracy close like preventing us from practicing religion. the y.p. she could lose the autonomous enclave government in north eastern syria a plan to pull out of american troops will leave it vulnerable the group controls an area rich in oil and agricultural land valuable economic assets for the government and to mask this which is struggling under sanctions president bashar assad has repeatedly said he wants to retake this corner of syria either by negotiation or force the y. p.g. may be trying to cut a deal the u.s. is no longer planning a rapid pullout turkey has reportedly convince president donald trump to coordinate the withdrawal also that there will be no vacuum u.s. and turkish officials will meet in washington on january the eighth it seems ankara wants the enclave to be handed over to representatives of arab majority towns that have been under the control of the white. durkee believes the y. p.g.
6:55 am
is linked to the outlawed kurdistan workers' party the p.k. k. which has been fighting for self rule in south east turkey. turkey doesn't have that authority or ambitions in syria and they want to end the separatists project there and it wants to end the threat along its south and border it will cooperate with the syrian opposition but who will convince the white b.g. to give up its agenda and couplings with the p k k. a military option is still on the table president tell you border guard says a new operational strategy to eliminate both the white b.g. and i still is being worked on turkey and the u.s. may be in agreement on what happens next but there are other players in syria including russia that will also want its interests secured senator a check on the turkey syria border.

the u.s. senate has adjourned meaning no deal on ending the partial shutdown of the federal government can be reached until thursday at the earliest is the third time the senate has failed to approve payment for donald trump's controversial war along the mexican border democrats are strongly opposed to the wall and say they will never pay for it this then forced congress to adjourn without a deal on spending a political stalemate now leaves a quarter of the government unfunded over the christmas period it means around eight hundred thousand federal employees will have to continue working without pay or be placed on unpaid leave or shut down also sparked economic uncertainty wall street suffered one of the worst weekly falls in a decade with trade tension and interest rate rise is also being blamed president trump turned to social media after the shutdown became inevitable tweeting this video statement. we're going to have a shutdown there's nothing we could do about that because we need the democrats to
6:57 am
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. political writer author and commentator well but she is in jail he doesn't believe the situation will be sorted out before the new year it's a strong possibility that this lasts into the new year until january third when democrats actually take over the majority of house new congress comes in and presumably if the government is still closed at that point their first order of business would be to pass a bill reopening it which would glide through the senate and land on the president's desk for that reason it's in the interests of republicans to try to find some sort of deal before them because they lose
