♪ digging in on his demand for a border wall. foors the president with another threat. this time shutdown the entire border. plus their next steps without the u.s. involved. cnn following the story live in moscow. also ahead we look at the top stories in pictures. we are live from cnn world headquarterers in atlanta and we welcome our viewers in the united states and all around the world.

i'm george howell, cnn newsroom starts right now. at 5:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast, we started with the government shutdown and for hundreds of thousands of federal workers it's starting to hurt. the u.s. president now threatening to close the southern u.s. border if he doesn't gt what he wants. the actual concept of closing the entire border would be a major challenge. there are hundreds of ports from texas to california. a great deal of commerce also moves in both directions. mr. trump seems willing to shut it down unless he gets congress to approve the $5 billion he wants for the border wall. listen. >> can you give us any idea what the president would be willing to aca cept financially for his border wall where we could reach

a deal if democrats would get there? >> we made that dleer democrats. i'm not going to negotiate in the press but the president is willing to negotiate on this point. >> and president trump believes the u.s. government will make money by sealing the border with mexico. >> reporter: as rain poured on washington friday president trump unleashed a tweet storm threatening to close the southern border with mexico. writing the united states loses so much money on trade with mexico under nafta, over $75 billion a year that he would consider closing the southern border a quote profit making operation, repeating either we build, finish the wall or close the border. this as the partial government shutdown enters its way. the white house found its strategy, blame nancy pelosi.

>> she does not have the votes if she cuts a deal with the president of any sort before her election -- she cannot be seen by her party as being weak in negotiating with donald trump. >> reporter: but pelosi likely sdruz the votes and is expected to be speaker on january 3rd. a spokesperson saying in part democrats have offered republicans three options to reopen the government that include funding for strong, sensible and effective border security but not the president's immoral, ineffective and expensive wall. >> we actually talked about it with him late last night. he's been here all weekend, all christmas. he's canceled his plans for christmas, now who's canceled his plans for new year's.

>> reporter: the first lady returned home spend new year's with their son in mar-a-lago. >> thank you. now even as the new congress takes over in january it's still not clear how it will get some 800,000 federal workers back on the government payroll. it is starting to hurt for people unsure how they well be paid next. as the partial government shutdown rolls into its first week of completion. the democrats firmly stand behind their puzigz. they're not willing to give a dedollar for the president's border wall. the president has made it clear that a border a fence, structure of some kind is -- pelosi, they're looking to january 3rd

when democrats retake control of the house for any action of any kind ledge slagislatively to ree government. nancy pelosi, the incoming speaker has made clear she's going to move several funding proposals to the basically can kick it over to the senate. mitch mcconnell has made clear he's not willing to move forward on anything until he knows the president will sign it. and the president has made clear what the democrats are going to send from the house, 1.3 billion for border security is not acceptable for him. where does that leave things? nobody has good answer. there are people talking about various proposals that might be able to get law maker the president out of this. but until one or both sides moves off their intrenched positions, there's no end in sight. it's also federal workers.

800,000 workers will be working without pay or furloughed. they'll start missing their first checks january 11th. and that is often what triggers law maker to come to the deal. everybody on capitol hill says don't look at this as a days' long shut down, might need to considter a week's long shutdown. >> let's talk more about this now with steven, the chief dip rumatic correspondent for the "new york times" in brussels, belgium. thanks for your time. the president now threatening to close the southern border for the barricade he wants and cut off aid to certain latin american countries. do these threats matter to democrats who have made it clear they're not going to budge? >> well, the threats matter.

he can't shut the southern border. he doesn't have the power to do that and i don't think the courts would let him do that. their businesses wouldn't want him to do it and if his problem is illegal immigration, 2/of iloogal immigrants come illegally, mostly by airplane and over stay their visas. they're not coming through the southern border but this is a big thing for him. a thing for his base. he's been talking about it since the campaign and the question is who's going to bend? that's really exactly the question that all of your reporters have been asking. >> it is important not to forget the president's own words about the possibility of a shutdown before it happened. let's listen. >> if we dont get what we want one way or the other, whether

it's through you, through military, anything you want to call, i will shut down the government. >> fair enough. >> i am proud to shut down the government for border security. i will take the mantle. i'm not going to blame you for it. the last time you shut it down it didn't work. >> but now we're seeing the president and his team instead make a media blitz to blame nancy pelosi as the reason for this impasse. does this media blitz make a difference in your mind and can the president side step the words that came out of his own mouth? >> well, he does that a lot i have to say. butted this is politics. this is american politics in 2019. it's very divided. trump is making a symbolic point. he's very eager to check off on his campaign promises. the democrats have promised border security, more money. the democrats don't want to be seen as favoring weak border

security. so they will have to compromise. i mean as we know there is quite a lot of fencing bordering, along the border anyway. i'm sure they'll come to some conclusion. but right now it's just about politics, it's the blame game and lining up trump's base for the future. >> steven, you talk about compromise. you say the democrats would understood do that. here's the question. could twd take something like addressing the issue unresolved around dreamers or d.a.c.a.? could that be a path for both sides to come together here? >> i think there are lots of paths but part of what trump wants is a symbolic victory. that's what matters to him. but the democrats having -- won't be running the house as the 3rd of january. so it's very important they not look like they're being shoved around.

so i think for a while yet it's going to be it's your fault, no it's your fault until the pain among among employees gets too high. my guess is it's a fight over money now. money for border security and how it gets used. >> briefly here, we have about 30 skds. but we're seeing this rebranding of the wall. now shifting to build a fence and saying essentially they're a same thing. though it's a sharp departure from a wall just as it's a departure from mexico paying fortop it. now it's amare taxpayers that are going to pay for it. >> a fence is a kind of wall that you can see through.

and y as i say if the words make the reality go away, that seems fine for everybody. that's what we do in politics. >> live for us in brussels, belgium. thank you. >> thanks, george. in indonesia officials are keeping an eye on a major volcano that's because the cr k krakatau volcano ois still active. they've evacuated thousands from nearby islands and satellite images show how busy the volcono has been. here the volcano at the top center. it's erupted so much in the past week it's dramatically increased incise. it's lost about 650 feet of 8 and roughly 6400 cubic feet in

time that i saw him. >> reporter: police say singh was killed by arriaga. they caught up to him after a massive manhunt. >> this man crossed our border illegally into arizona some time ago. he is a criminal. he has two prior arrests for dui. >> reporter: several people were arrested including his co worker who were accused of lying to authorities and impeding the ability to find him faster. the sheriff could not contain his outrage over california's so-called sanctuary law. >> and under sp 54 in california, due to some other active warrants this criminal has out there, law enforcement would have been prohibited from

syrians, iraqis and especially iranians on these small ships. government officials believe the smugglers are telling the migrants that because there's christmas time there may be less border patrol and because of brexit, they're using this as a way to tell the migrants that this might be your last chance to get in, even though that may have 93 truth to it and there's increased security in other ways, methods they've used in the past. trains, ferries. so insteads they're taking to the small boetsz to get into the united kingdom. >> you touched on this but can you tell us more what you know about these people. what happens when they cross and why are they take thing risks? >> reporter: you may assume it would by majority syrian and iraqi. but it it would be more

iranians. we know about the economic and political hardships in that country. if i can put up what it looksic in term oz of asylum numbers. 2,500 requests for the iranians to come here from the uk and 1,000 granted. that's significantly higher than other groups from other countries. a lot of these folks don't make it to the shore. officials get them and bring them to shores, do a medical assessment and then they're handed off to immigration authorities where they wait and go through the system. what uk government are saying they want to talk to french authorities to see what they can do to beef up security. they don't know if more ships would deter or encourage near come from france. >> samuel, thank you. still ahead on cnn newsroom u.s. troops for about to ship

his uth amor had originally been barred from the country under the white house travel ban. egypt says its security forces have killed 40 terrorists in early monday morning raids. the interior ministry says it targeted three hideouts. it comes after four people were killed when a road-side bombb struck a tourist bus near a giza pyramids outside of cairo. and hillary clinton's email scandal and the beginnings of the russia investigation. their verdict, the fbi went easy on hillary clinton and harder on donald trump. the u.s. president also threatening to close the southern border with mexico if he doesn't get the $5 billion he wants for a barricade between u.s. and mexico. the democrats say it won't

happen. the impasse has led to a partial government shutdown heading to its second week. turk itty's foreign and defense ministers to talk about the future of syria, specifically what to do when the 2000 u.s. troops withdrawal from syria. turkey has a plan and they want to make sure russia is on board with that plan. take a look that vast areas of the country not under government control. adding to the confusion that troops have arrived in the northern city ebut that may not be true. barbara starr explains. >> reporter: uncertainty for u.s. troops in northern syria near the turkish border. syrian president assad's force are on the move heading to where u.s. forces have been in control

and keep local forces from erupting into all-out war. syrian troops are now just outside the city, poised to inter. >> they are so scared, they are worried about the future. >> reporter: this is one of the contested areas u.s. trooped will be pulling out of as part of president trump's withdrawal order. for now troops are staying put. but one defense official says the situation could change on a moment's notice. the concern? u.s. troops will be face to face with assad's russian-backed forces and no one can predict what could happen. these images alleged lay showing the sear yng army already hoisting the flag. >> translator: the general command of the army and armed forces announces movement and

raising the syrian arab republican flag in it. >> reporter: the u.s.-led coalition tweeting everything is just fine. there is no indication syrian forces are in man -- and kurdish fighters booted isis out. the kurds may now be forcesed to seek protection from an assad regime that has gassed its own citizens to protect itself from a turkish invasion when the u.s. leaves. it's all putting the american forces at the very center of what could go wrong with president trump's decision to quickly pull out more than 2,000 u.s. ground troop frus from syr. >> it was never intended to be permanent and was not open ended. >> reporter: it could mean a

tough decision in the coming days. >> where the united states has been in place it's either abandoned and isis takes it over or assad's forces or the turks come in and the united states has got to get out of town or they put themselves at increased risk. >> reporter: the defense department is adamant that withdrawal will be orderly and as safe as it can be. but tensions are mounting and adversaries may decide to cause trouble. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. and now our colleague live in moscow. with these talks happening this day, barbara touched on this. these talks between russia and turkey. what happened to the kurdish militia? it seems there will be a realignment sbael realignment especially with the kurds, the once ally, now backing out. >> reporter: the fact that the

united states has suddenly announced withdrawal from northern syria has put the kurds in a very difficult position. they're faced between the prospect of confronting a turkish invasion force that desperately wants to cross the border from turkey and oust the kurds from that region which borders turkey and northeastern syria or to welcome the syrian arm to the areas where more than control. it's the latter option i believe the kurds think is the least -- there's no love lost. assad does not support kurdish autonomy in that part of syria. they have it calculated their best option for survival lies with the syrian government. and so that's what we're seeing now on the ground.

as barbara was reporting syrian forces are not yet inside manbij but they're on the outskirts of that strategically important city. and when the united states forces finally are called out, the expectation is that they will move in rapid lae. >> and matthew, the simple fact these talks are taken place show russia a major player in this equation. >> reporter: i think it does. russia playing such an intrigl part, backing its ally. but turkey, we're talking defense minister, heading of intelligence, beating a noogt kremlin to discuss what their

options are in northeastern syria underlines how much of a power broker russia has become. it's the primary military force in many ways on the ground inside syria and the fact the united states has now said it's throwing in and leaving the theater, that accentuates russia's power and the fact that the turks are visiting moscow and having these high-level discussions is an illustration of that. it's also a very dangerous period because even though there's been a lot of effort put in forging a close diplomatic relationship, they're on opposite sides in the conflict in syria. and there's always that chance of confrontation. >> follow oing this in moscow and of korgs we'course we'll st touch. now to the mueller investigation

into russian interference. it's evolved to include every aspect of the trump presidency. between the presidency and inauguration when numerous questionable contacts were made with are russians. >> reporter: robe mueller has hs hands on hundreds of thousands of emails, part of the ongoing investigation under the weeks following the investigation. under particular scrutiny, a meeting on december 1st, 2016, puts president trump's son in law and soon to be national security advisor in a room with a russian ambassador that's long been considered a spy. then they asked kislyak about

securing lines what some have called a back channel. >> the documents i have voluntarily provided will show all my actions were proper and occurred in the normal course of events in a very unique campaign. >> reporter: kushner asked if we had a existing communication channel at his embaesz we could use where we would be comfortable transmitting information. this time with sergey. what was discussed remains a mystery. but at the time kushner was still ceo of kushner company that was trying to get money for a project in manhattan. there was no discussion about his company or sanctions. >> my dashboard warning light was on --

information stolen, anything from where they live, work, maybe their phone number. all of that in the hands of someone we don't know who it is. the defectors certainly suspect pyongyang hacked into this computer trying to get as much information about these people who ran away from the north and set up. lives in the south. a nonprofit helps defectors resettle. it was set up by the south korean unification ministry in 2010. there are a lot of things they need to learn and agist to when they go from a socialist society to a capitalist society. but where they're living, working is supposed to be kept confidential and now they're living in fear. they're worried somebody in north korea could potentially find them or step up monitoring on their family that remain in the north.
