. 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 and the nays are forty nine and 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 obstructionists loses its words were echoed by the republican senate laid out what we've just witnessed on the floor was a stunning call decision to democrats or shovel. millions of americans for the sake of irresponsible political. a government shutdown was one hundred first

of all edible the democratic senate laid it 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 doug the democrats wouldn't back down on one key demand they wanted guarantees on the future of 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. of him

going to get some analysis on all this now from us i expect boras for money a proffer fessor politics of politics rather at both ends by 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 donald trump blamed president obama for failing to make the deal the 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 the dead in makati in germany in germany rather the crisis of democracy should talking about the wider. implications of people like trump breaks it 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 new 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 it big infrastructure deal towards the end of january 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 an advantage on the other hand every time that he's cornered at home sometimes there's an escape and there's a approval case and that sets off a whole spiral of events that is hard to calculate ok. 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 trump's first year in office it is a year today that he was inaugurated as u.s. president in our correspondents have been gathering opinions about him for us so here's a look at how people around the world view the trunk presidency. do you lock is the most interesting president in u.s. history he's outspoken and adapt in social media he's a star on the internet to go on was that what i said when you said the post everything takes time trump's not a bad president 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 when actually prince yeah. presson like i trump talking like that they doubt themselves and we hope he would say. i don't want to talk about trump. very mixed set of views there back to boris fulton professor of politics of balance but 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 particular turn over the last one hundred years one could almost say it was always clear that the u.s. was leading the globe that it was the hedge i'm on but if i did was it 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 where is a lot of people ok our phone many thanks for talking to us thanks. now while love policymakers in washington scrambling at the moment on a solution to this latest shutdown crisis thousands have taken to the streets of major u.s. cities for the second so-called women's march it's being exact two years since the first women's march for people around the well demonstrating against donald trump selection the demonstrations were aimed at raising awareness about sexism and minority rights something that the protesters today are saying hasn't area say that
