a ground operation is now on the way. so five balls the name of the game with cologne looking to build on a greater win last weekend as they face relegation rivals humbug in a place clash. with. hello and welcome my name is christopher spring thanks for joining us a year into donald trump's presidency the u.s. is still a country wracked by political division on the very day marking the first anniversary of his swearing in ceremony the federal government has shut down off to congress failed to reach a deal on spending it means the government workers will stay at home halting all but the most essential operations recriminations have already begun. it was a night of partisan politics at the capitol despite hours of debate and last minute

deal making there was no agreement on a government funding deal the a's are fifty the nays are forty nine the motion is not agreed the republican leadership couldn't find the sixty votes needed to keep the government open the government shutdown means hundreds of thousands of public servants may have to stay home. following the senate vote the white house said the democrats were behaving like obstructionist loses its words were echoed by the republican senate laid out what we've just witnessed on the floor was a son a call decision by a set of democrats as shovel. millions of americans for the sake of irresponsible political games a government shutdown was one hundred first of all double the democratic senate lead that chuck schumer said he tried his utmost to give the republicans what they

wanted he was prepared to offer donald trump money for his border wall if the president would soften his hard line on immigration no one who deserves the blame for the position we find ourselves in more than president trump. he walked away from two bipartisan deals including one today in which i even put the border wall on the table ultimately though the democrats wouldn't back down on one key demand they wanted guarantees on the future of eid hundred thousand undocumented immigrants brought to the u.s. is children republican side that's holding ordinary people hostage but with most americans supporting a deal on the children democrats are calculating that voters will back them. ok we're going to get some analysis on all this now from us expert doris foreman proffer fessor politics of politics rather than college thank you for coming in bars i want to pick up on those bipartisan deal deals that didn't come through that

we were just hearing about in our report the last time we had a shutdown twenty thirteen don't trump blamed president obama for failing to make the deal necessary deal with the other side what does this latest shutdown tell us about donald trump's fame skills as a deal maker well i mean first of all it tells us something we knew already which is that congress in american politics is very polarized it's very difficult to get a deal done but it's true i mean trump ran on the ticket saying that he's a great negotiator that he had certain skill superior skills from the business world that he would translate to the political political world obviously this is not something that's that has worked. now this is of course the u.s. domestic story the u.s. federal government to shut down you've just written this book. that had a makati in germany in germany rather the crisis of democracy show talking about

the wider. implications of people like trump. and so on how does this u.s. domestic development the federal government shutdown how is that going to affect the outside world well first of all. i think it's going to impact the domestic world trump was elected because there was a deep frustration with the political establishment something we're also seeing in the real pims european context and he promised that there would be a protection of american workers from the outside world from globalization there would be investments in infrastructure there's a debate about a big infrastructure deal towards the end of general that's something he can finance if there is this government shutdown and obviously with the with the tax reform he's hamstrung in what concerns his his budget what's the outside world wealth i mean you could be cynic and you could say he would be distracted from the outside world which some would see as in the vet it's on the other hand every time

that he's cornered at home sometimes there's an escape and there's a probation that sets off a whole spiral of events that is hard to calculate ok foreman thanks for now but do stay with us we're going to talk a little bit more first though we're going to switch our attention to transfer student office it is a year today that he was inaugurated as u.s. president and our correspondents have been gathering opinions about him for us so here's a look at how people around the world view the trump presidency. do you lock he's the most interesting president in u.s. history he's outspoken and adept in social media he's a star on the internet to go off on was nobody writing to the post everything takes time trump's not a bad president new book i believe that a bright future of sorts does lie ahead technically i think what he does and how you talk some presents himself is terrible he's a very unpleasant man and that makes living with him very difficult but when i had

children yeah. present rate cut trump talking about it that they doubt themselves i hope he would say. oh no i don't want to talk about trump. very mixed set of views there back to boris folan professor of politics and balanced budget college what is your view of the trump presidency so far particularly the way that donald trump conducts foreign policy there's been a lot of chaos and this is what foreign policy experts have been fearing the volatility in the international system we've seen a couple of crises. in the korean case the russia affair different moments where it wasn't quite clear what position the u.s. was standing on and i think this is one thing that worries. states leaders and foreign policy experts most is that the u.s. seems to have taken a peculiar turn over the last one hundred years one could almost say it was always

clear that the u.s. was leading the gloat that it was the hedge i'm on but it but it was a beneficial hedge among the believed in certain universal values such as democracy under trump it's not about values but it's about interests and i think that there is a lot of people ok our form on many things in talking to us thanks. now moving on to other news turkey's president wretch of tired everyone says his armed forces have launched a ground operation to oust kurdish militia from the syrian town of afrin he hasn't specified yet whether turkish troops have now crossed the border into syria turkey has been intensifying its shelling of the region in recent days in order to push out tens of thousands of kurdish fighters it says on terrorists syria for its part has warned against any incursion and threaten to shoot down turkish jets. their target is a differing syria that's where turkey believes the kurdish wide b.g. militia has its bases artillery rounds are intended to wear down the g.
