2:00 am
for the third time this year the u.s. government partially shuts down. why lawmakers refuse to give president trump what he demands. >> in the united kingdom, gatwick airport reopens after a series of drone sitings force it to shutdown. >> markets sink to the lowest since the 2008 recession. we ask what this means for the economy in the next year. >> live from cnn world headquaters in atlanta. we welcome our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. >> i'm natalie allen and
2:01 am
newsroom starts right now. that is our top story. we're five hours into a partial u.s. government shutdown. it effects hundreds of thousands of federal employees and the agencies they serve. >> lawmakers left days before the christmas holiday without a bill to fund the government by this midnight deadline that already passed. their deadlock over the demand to fund a border wall, a wall that democrats oppose. >> 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. >> president trump's democratic opponent, senate minority leader
2:02 am
chuck schumer and nancy pelosi issued a new statement. after eight years in the minority their party is set to regain control of the house in january because of the midterm elections outcome. >> their statement reads in part if president trump and republicans choose to continue this trump shutdown, the new democratic majority will swiftly pass legislation to reopen government in january. now in the meantime, u.s. senators are set to return to capitol hill in the coming hours. it will be very important for people that want to know whether they'll be paid or not. >> phil explains how they reached this point and the impact. >> well, they're in it now. the white house, congress, washington, is now officially in a government shutdown or at least partial will a government shutdown. 25% of the federal government no longer has money to function. the question is, how do they get themselves out of it. and the reality is there's no
2:03 am
clear end any time soon. here's the baseline. president trump made very clear a couple of days agatha $5 billion for the wall was his baseline. anything lower than that, he was not willing to accept. democrats made clear that the president said this would be his shutdown. if it shuts down it's president trump's fault. they said no one is willing to come to the table and give in anyway on any border wall funding. negotiations did start in earnest tonight. coming up on capitol hill going back and forth. those negotiations have not yielded what i'm told anywhere close to an agreement. they're billions of dollars apart at this point with no clear end game in sight. so how does this end? sources i'm talking to on capitol hill don't have a good answer right now. somebody has to blink. somebody at the white house, the president, has to blink, cave, or agree to go forward with what the senate passed in a unanimous manner earlier in the week. a clean stop bill with no border
2:04 am
wall funding or democrats have to blink and start moving toward the president or fund the wall or at least put money toward that. the latter is not an option from democratic perspective and the president hasn't shown any sign he wants this fight to end any time soon. with all of that in mind as lawmakers went home on friday and decided whether or not they'll come back on saturday, 25% of the government is shutdown. there's a very real possibility this goes on not for hours, but potentially, for days. phil mattingly, cnn, capitol hill. >> here's information on what parts of dpovgovernment are shutdown. 420,000 federal employees would be expected to work without pay until lawmakers make a play. 380,000 will be on furlough as we head into the holidays. >> essential services like social security will be funded.
2:05 am
the mail will continue to be delivered. federal employees like military, law enforcement, they will continue to work. >> let's talk more about it. richard johnson is in lancaster england, he's a lecturer in u.s. politics at lancaster university. always good to have you with us. good morning to you. the president promised a shutdown if his border wall wasn't funded and he said it would be on him if that happened. well, he got his wish. however, now he is blaming democrats for the shutdown. who is looking worse here? >> well, they're talking to different audiences, and that's the key thing to always remember with president trump is that he is first and foremost thinking about his base. nearly nine in ten republicans support a border wall and 2-thirds of republicans in recent polls said they would support shutting down the federal government to get that border wall. so even though a majority of americans don't support a border
2:06 am
wall at all and they don't support the government shutdown to achieve one, when it comes to the voters about whom trump cares the most, republican primary voters and his key supporters in those key states, he is delivering for them, or he's doing what he thinks they want him to do. and that's the key thing to remember. >> let's talk now about how we got here and who might have prompted the president to stick to his guns. he was reportedly influenced by conservative commentators that chastised him severely for not demanding funding for the wall midweek. let's take a listen. >> the republicans are bowing down apparently. there's no way, even though we can allocate whatever money we need for criminal justice reform or planned parenthood, or whatever else liberal cause is
2:07 am
clamoring for your tax dollars. >> it will have been a joke presidency that scammed the american people, enraged, amused the populous for awhile, but he'll have no legacy whatsoever. >> we know how closely president trump follows these commentators. so despite republicans and democrats initially working out a deal to keep government going and the president agreed, and then changed his mind, how does that make him look? strong or weak. and you'll say it depends on who we're talking about. >> that's it. one thing that's interesting is that the president clearly has these almost, you know, what we would call in europe, whipping system, a party whipping system. ideological whipping system that goes on in the conservative media where trump, i think, is the end of the day a fairly
2:08 am
ideological flexible individual. we can look at the positions he's taken on various matters at different times in his life. but he has this conviction and sense that he is there in the white house because he took these particular lines on these particular issues, particularly immigration and border security, and i think that these commentators serve to remind him of that and to sort of make sure that he falls back in to line. now as a matter of leadership, that may not look particularly inspiring. but on the other hand as a matter of, well, at least trump believes it's the correct political calculus for his survival. it's not necessarily a crazy strategy to have. >> so the question is, where does this go from here? the holidays are here, christmas a few days away, and the government is partially shutdown. what do you think will be the fall out from the american
2:09 am
people over this situation? >> i think in the past it used to be clearer that the american public would identify a key set of actors and blame them for the shutdown. usually congress would get the blame to t blame for the shutdown. i think democrats will blame president trump and republicans will blame congressional democrats. and so in the end, it becomes a kind of impasse. the longest shutdown was the 1995 shutdown that lasted for three weeks, 21 days. donald trump said that he imagines this shutdown could last for a very long time. i think he actually wants it not to last very long because when the democrats take control of the house in january, they gain a lot more leverage on this than they currently have. their leverage at the moment is just their ability to filibuster
2:10 am
in the senate. when they have control of the house, it will be much more difficult for donald trump to get anything close to what he's asking for at the moment. >> we always appreciate your insights. richard johnson joining us from lancaster, thank you, richard. >> thank you. >> it is interesting, this issue of the wall, it is central to the president's campaign. it's what got him in office, so now it seems he's under pressure as democrats are set to take over the house, under pressure to try to get traction on it. >> it's a tall order so to speak. >> indeed. now the resignation heard around the world. u.s. defense secretary james mattis tendered his resignation this week and a source says president trump hates the two page letter. >> it angers the president to hear mattis described as the administration in the room that kept mr. trump's impulses in check. >> defense secretary james mattis surprised president trump
2:11 am
when he handed him his resignation letter according to sources. mattis showed up to make one last attempt to change the president's mind on with drawing troops from syria. when the president would not relent, mattis re-signed. it's a departure that sent shockwaves across washington and the world. his resignation came just one day after trump announced a withdrawal of u.s. forces from syria. and the same day sources told cnn that trump is also planning to with draw thousands of service members from afghanistan. secretary mattis losing on two major military decisions. in his stunning letter, mattis wrote one core belief i have always held is that our strength as a nation is linked to the strength of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships. specifically, mattis was livid
2:12 am
about the abandonment of u.s. backed kurdish fighters in syria that could face a blood bath from a turkish invasion according to sources. >> general james mad dog mattis. he doesn't lose. >> the rift had been building for sometime. according to a senior defense official, some say the president stopped listening to mattis a long time ago. in his letter, mattis brings up china and russia writing i believe we must be residence lut and unambiguous in our approach to those countries whose strategic interests are with ours. the president seemed to rebut that writing there's never been a president that's been tougher or fairer on china or russia, never. just look at the facts. >> if putin likes donald trump,
2:13 am
i consider that an asset, not a liability. >> the american troop withdrawals along with the resignation left america's allies in europe and across the world, stunned. >> this is a day america's allies have been dreading and fearing and hoping wouldn't come. >> and even the president's staunchest allies at home not pulling punches. >> secretary mattis's departure is devastating news to national security and to the pentagon. >> as for mattis's replacement, finding someone on the same page as the president could be difficult. >> there'sal lenlt talented ind that will come forward. the question is, will they raise their hand and take this job. >> president trump is lashing out at his hand picked acting attorney general matt whitaker. mr. trump is reportedly frustrated that whitaker isn't doing more to control federal prosecutors in the case against his former lawyer, michael
2:14 am
cohen. >> prosecutors in new york are implicating hush money pay offs to two women. the president is upset that it makes him look bad. mr. trump wants the justice department and his attorney general to protect him personally. a rough week in wall street. recent troubles seem to be getting worse. u.s. stocks fell again this week and numbers not seen since the great depression. more on the market moves. >> plus open and enclosed and enclosed again. a confusing few days for one of the u.k.'s busiest airports all because of mysterious drones. we'll have the latest for you. sometimes bir i disorder can make you feel like you have no limits. but mania, such as unusual changes in your mood, activity or energy levels, can leave you on... ...shaky ground. help take control by asking your healthcare provider about vraylar.

2:18 am
similar protests gagainst the high cost of living. police arrested five people over the stream of drone sightings this week. drones spotted flying dangerously close to the run ways forced a 32 hour shutdown. >> the airport closed again briefly on friday. this after another drone sighting. gatwick aims to run a full schedule of flights on saturday. anna stewart is following the story this hour at the airport there. anna, good to have you. so the question at this point, what is the latest on this investigation? we understand there's been arrests. what more do we know? >> so, currently, george, all we know is two people have been arrested in connection with the investigation. we don't know, you know, who they are, anything about them. they haven't actually been charged yet. so what police have told me, and i'll bring this up, our investigations are still on going and our activities at the
2:19 am
airport continue to build resilience by deploying a range of tactics. they have a whole range of options on the table to deal with the situation that they did not have earlier in the week and actually, as a result, a drone was spotted at 5:20 yesterday afternoon but the run wway was only shut for one hour. it does seem to be working at this stage. hopefully we don't get anymore drone sightings. hopefully the two people they arrested are the people behind the whole thing and passengers can enjoy their holidays or get home in time for christmas, george. >> here's the thing, this is such a bigger issue. is two people arrested, great, but so many other people get drones, they do this sort of thing. what more do we know about how that particular airport plans to address incidents like this? and are there any calls for reforms around the issue? or drones? >> yeah. in terms of the airport itself,
2:20 am
they say they got plenty of measures now at hand with the help of the military. they're not going to get into the specifics of it because they don't simply want troublemakers to know how they can mitigate the risks around them. they don't want to encourage any further copy cat situations like what we just had this week. in terms of regulations, we're expecting regulations to tighten, this really enraged the public and fascinated the world that something so small could shutdown the second biggest airport in the u.k. i was asking people what they think should happen. take a listen. >> i think itthat a drone can sbr interrupt is interesting. >> the airport needs to do more in terms of a logical solution. people are always going to do stupid things. there's only so much you can do.
2:21 am
>> if anyone has any criminal intent, it isn't going to work. what we need is to use the best technology to make people safe when they're flying, and, you know, whether the army have got it or the civil aviation have got it, but we need to make sure that airports and all public services are made safe. >> now gatwick is expected to run a full schedule of flights today. however there are delays because a 32 hour shutdown does mean that aircraft and crews have been in all the wrong places at this time, but hopefully they'll all be back as they should be soon. >> anna live for us at gatwick airport, thank you. >> now to hungary. demonstrators took to the street. >> it allows them to demand up to 400 overtime hours a year from workers.
2:22 am
it >> rowdy protestors fill a bridge. dancing and marching on the president of hungary. the march is peaceful. the message to prime minister is unambiguous. >> we want him to get out of here and we want democracy again, and we want people to get power back. >> what sparked more than a week of demonstrations is an amendment to the labor code sponsored by the prime minister's ruling party. the amendment is widely called the slave law. these protests are not about populism, they're not about nationalism, they're about the basic rights of working people. the slave law would mean many people would feel compelled to work as many as 400 hours of
2:23 am
overtime a year and possibly not get paid for that overtime for three years after that. the government says it's a great opportunity for people to earn more money, but the reaction of many people here in budapest is that they can earn more money, but they won't have much of a life. effective the law would be to reintroduce a six day work week. the prime minister has clashed with the european union over his ways. he's managed to gain control of much of the media and is stridently anti-immigration. parties on the right and the left have suddenly found common cause. in front of the president's office, speakers from the nationalist right and the far left railed against the government. he leads to momentum movement.
2:24 am
>> they didn't expect the opposition and the people to get so upset about this situation. >> after 8 years of rule, change may be here. >> hungary is sleeping for eight years and this is the time we woke up. >> with the racquet they're making in the streets, it would be hard for hungary's current government to have any peace. >> ben, thank you. we now have an update on the status of a woman photographed running from tear gas at the u.s.-mexico border with her children. her attorney tells cnn she has now been released from u.s. border patrol custody. >> she and her children appeared in this famous photo last month. they reported the migrant caravan trying to reach the u.s. from central america. her lawyer says she will now seek asylum before an immigration judge in baltimore,
2:25 am
maryland. for the third time in a year the u.s. government is partially shutdown after the white house and kocongress failed to reach deal. all over a fight for money for president trump's border wall. that dates back to the picture we showed you about people wanting to seek asylum in the u.s. >> plus u.s. stocks take another dive on wall street this week. major indices now on track to post numbers not seen since the great depression. it's scary. we'll have more after this. you find money everywhere.enot, and when you save on everything... it really adds up. it's kind of a big deal. retailmenot. yours for the saving.

here in the united states and all around the world. >> i'm natalie allen. the headlines this hour, gatwick airport near london aiming to run a full schedule of flights on saturday after droning flying nearby forced several shutdowns over the last few days. police have now arrested two people in connection with the investigation. >> the u.s. president is said to be extremely angry over the news coverage of james mattis quitting as a defense secretary. a source says mr. trumps hates matti is being praised as the adult that kept the president's impulses in check. >> well, parts of the u.s. government are now shutdown which means hundreds of thousands of federal employees are caught in the middle. lawmakers left washington friday with no deal to fund the government by a midnight deadli deadline. they are deadlocked over the president's demand to fund a border wall which democrats opposed.
2:30 am
senators are expected to return to the capital in the coming hours to continue their talks. well, let's dive deeper into the facts surrounding the partial shutdown. 420,000 employees will be expected to work without pay until lawmakers make a deal. about 380,000 employees will be placed on furrlough as we head into the holidays. >> essential services like social security will continue to be funded, the mail will continue to be delivered, federal employees that keep people safe like military, law enforcement officers will continue to work. >> here's tom foreman with more on the shutdowns impact. >> 75% of the government already has funding in place through this coming fall, but in various departments and agencies, 420,000 government workers could wind up working without pay at
2:31 am
what are caused essential jobs. let's take a look at big travel season, homeland security, 55,000 tsa workers. 55,000 customs and border protection agents and officers too, along with a good many others. 24,000 air traffic controllers will be on the job, so will railroad inspectors. at the state department, passports will be issued but maybe not at any given passport office, if it's in a government facility where a lot of folks are furloughed and the office is closed, it could be closed there too. if you're coming to see the smithsonian museums in d.c., good luck. they're still open through 31, regular schedule but then it's still unclear. russia investigation will certainly continue. beyond that, the agriculture department would continue food safety inspections but will be
2:32 am
shutting down services like research. the majority of the folks at nasa will be put on a leave of absence. the interior services, some parks would close. others may remain open for the time being and related to that, no matter what happens, santa and his llamas will still visit olympic national forest in washington state on christmas eve, come what may, and the polar express will continue to run near the grand canyon because it's operated by a third party. not the government. >> thank you. wall street capped off a tough week. all fell on fears of an economic slow down. >> stocks are down more than 12%. wall street hasn't seen a december like this in almost 90 years. >> a brutal week in the market.
2:33 am
the dow and the s&p now on track for their worst december since the great depression and their work yearly performance in a decade. this week, the selling began in earnest on wednesday when the federal reserve raised interest rates. investors got really nervous that the central bank was weaning this economy off of easy money. look, we've had historically low interest rates now for over ten years and that's helped to boost the economy. when interest rates are low, consumers are more incentivized to buy houses and cars, and of course stocks. rising interest rates may have the opposite impact. that's what spooked wall street. add to that the fed chairman disappointed investors by making it sound like more interest rate hikes were already baked in for 2019 and that sent the market lower. adding to the negativity, president trump tweeted on thursday that he was willing to partially shutdown the government over border wall funding, even after one of his
2:34 am
economic advisers tried to ensure the market that a short and partial shutdown would not have lasting economic impact. the president took to twitter to emphasize the shutdown could be long. on friday, the federal reserve tried to repair the damage. new york fed president clarifying that the fed will monitor what's going on in the financial markets and future hikes really depend on economic data. but overall, a very volatile week for wall street that ended with investors still deeply concerned about the impact of the on going trade war with china, a global economic slow down and the stimulus from the tax cuts wearing off. >> let's talk about this with ryan patel. he joins me from los angeles. thanks for being with us. >> my pleasure. >> first of all, what is pushing the markets down? was the fed's decision to raise interest rates a factor? >> yeah. it definitely was but there was multiple things.
2:35 am
wall street did not like the fact that they did this and i think when they did go do the 4th increase rate, what it showed was the lack of trust, what the fed had for the economy coming next year and that's what pushed investors and wall street to go, well, this is more than just keeping it on auto pilot and this caused the nervousness that the fed had to step in and not provide reassurance that everything was going to be okay. again, when companies start to look at their profits, they'll be tightening a little bit, investors start looking at the stock market and overvaluation on a lot of these companies. and the government shutdown doesn't help either. >> talking about the fed and it's decision, the fed chairman jerome powell, apparently this move angered president trump. bloomberg is reporting that he wants him out.
2:36 am
what do you think about that? would the u.s. president have any sway over the fed chairman? >> in all respect to president trump he can say whatever he wants to say because the federal reserve is very independent from him. powell came out to say that they are making decisions separate and i think, truthfully, when they made that decision to make that interest rate hike, i almost felt they didn't have a choice. i think the little caveat is they are only going to do two rate hikes versus three. to be able to influence that is not going to be in his cover. >> why are the marks so down when the economy has continued to grow? inflation is low. unemployment is low, and wages are rising. >> well, whenever you look at the stock market, you look at the valuation.
2:37 am
next year, the u.s. economy is going to be slower 2 to 3%, and what really puts the valuation at risk is when you have increased prices with the tariffs, when you have it become more expensive, companies will have a less profit margin at the bottom and i think that is where corporate leaders and ceos start to reign back a little bit about their expectations on shareholder value. that's what at the end of the day it comes down to. >> president trump all but touted the strong economy and strong markets as having to do directly with his presidency. let's listen to comments in the past he's made that talk about it. >> after years of stagnation,
2:38 am
the united states is experiencing strong economic growth. the stock market is smashing one record after another and has added more than $7 trillion in new wealth since my election. >> once again, we are the economic envy of the entire world. when i meet the leaders of countries, the first thing they say invariably, is mr. president, so nice to meet you, congratulations on your economy. >> we're doing record business, record stock market, record everything and also record unemployment. >> because i have created such an incredible economy. i have created so many jobs. >> whether we let the radical democrats take control of congress and take a giant wrecking ball to our economy. >> so he takes the credit when things are good. now that things aren't so much, does he also have to take some of the credit? do you think this downturn is going to hurt this president? >> he's not going to take the credit for the downturn. >> right. >> but that's what he has shown.
2:39 am
obviously everybody can point to that this uncertainty is caused by some of his trade policy and this trade policy leads to these kind of numbers that, again, if i'm an investor right now, what are you hearing as noise? there's too much noise out there for an actual investor to go, well, do i want to have con fireworco confidence. you talk about the fed coming in in the middle of the day and saying we're going to ease up on restrictions and the market goes up? we're really sensitive to news right now and i think that's where the administration has to understand that they have got to be really careful now going into the next quarter about how they control what their process and
2:40 am
proceeds are. >> we thank you. happy holidays. we appreciate your insight. thank you. >> thank you. >> well, sources say president trump is frustrated with his acting attorney general matt whitaker for not protecting him from allegations that make him look bad but the president may be getting his way on a different issue. the russia investigation. >> that's because whitaker ignored calls for him to recuse himself from overseaieing rober mueller in that investigation, even though that may be a breach of ethics. what this might mean for mueller, mr. trump, and everyone else involved. >> new details on acting attorney general matt whitaker's role in overseaieing the russia investigation after he rejected advice of justice department ethics officials that said he should step aside. whitaker that's never been briefed is expected to get
2:41 am
updates now that he isn't recusing himself. however he was given a heads up, president trump's former attorney michael cohen would plead guilty before it was publicly announced. meanwhile, the deputy attorney general promised the investigation would continue to be managed properly. >> we have continued to manage the investigation as we have in the past and it's being handled appropriately. >> rosenstein's office will continue to manage the investigation day-to-day but whitaker can block any cig any cabot steps mueller wants to take for now. an investigation that he long criticized. >> he doesn't fire bob mueller but he reduces the budget so low his investigation grinds to almost a halt. >> even echoing president trump's words saying the special counsel investigation could become a quote, witch hunt in a cnn op-ed last year. his decision not to recuse himself explained in a letter sent to lawmakers saying that an
2:42 am
ethics official told whitaker's staff he should recuse himself from supervision of the special counsel investigation because it was their view that a reasonable person with knowledge of the relevant facts likely would question the impartiality of the acting attorney general. that was not enough to convince whitaker to recuse. the justice department outlining his reasons in the same letter saying ethics officials could find no personal or financial interest that would require recus recusal. and that whitaker thought mueller was quote, a good man and would only go after legitimate targets. >> he was my first choice from day one. >> the administration now about to face similar issues with the president's permanent pick for attorney general who is also a mueller critic.
2:43 am
writing in an unsolicited memo this past june calling it fatally misconceived with potentially disastrous implications for the presidency saying trump's firing of former fbi director james comey was squarely within the power of the president. >> i find that very troubling as well. but we see this constant pattern. >> now crying foul on the president's choices. >> it appears the number one qualification he's looking for is someone that will try to undermine the mueller investigation. well, coming up, the incoming white house chief of staff went to capitol hill on friday. >> he's trying to overt the government shutdown but he hasn't always at the center of the impasse. above the floor, it comes with a built in shark handheld.
