biala gassed trunk port city managed by from part. to. this is deja news live from berlin donald trump stands firm on his demand for a border with. our showdown with nothing we can do about that. a partial shutdown of the u.s. government kicks in as trump and the senate's just agree of a funding the border along the mexican border also coming off. a german astronaut

hits home in time for the holiday it's off to a record setting stay aboard the international space station but it's not the guests say he stays in space on joe thank you. and millions chain him to watch spain's annual christmas rocketry handout billions of euros and prizes we'll see why that one is the fact one. noon. i'm christine linda welcome to the program. there is no side of a christmas compromise in washington over a spending bill that seen the u.s. government go into shutdown no make this today unsuccessfully try to end an imp also of a five billion dollars to build president donald trump's border war democrats say there are more effective solutions to protecting the u.s.

border senate democrats need to chuck schumer have this to say. we arrived at this moment because president trump has been on a destructive two week temper tantrum. demanding the american taxpayer pony up for an expensive and ineffective border wall that the president promised mexico would pay for it's bring in michael kay kay in washington for us this evening and michael will we see that all make his and the white house strike some compromise deal to end this shutdown well there is one rule in covering the trumpets ministration and that is that you can't really predict anything having said that it is very unclear how this could play out and the easiest thing for everyone involved would be to simply kick the can down the road and basically fund the government for a few more weeks or months this of course would not solve the situation but at least it would get everyone over this impasse right now. michel the democrats take

over the house in less than two weeks and president jiang from full ganges along promised will after all. well frankly i think it's very hard to see how democrats after their midterm election success can find anything that includes trump's border wall and opinion polls also show that a majority of americans don't really support funding the wall so i think it's very highly unlikely that democrats will fund trump's wall and the prospects for trump's wall i think are very thin. and again michael stay put i just want to get your view on another story so off to the resignation of defense secretary jim masses this week there's been a fallout from president trump's decision to pull u.s. troops out of syria now brickman is washington special envoy for the fight against the so-called islamic state has quit he's posted his resignation and they've met

their proportionally say if that. were in fact not defeated and that he's worried putting u.s. troops out could allow the jihad is to amass small power. all right so coming back to see you michael it's clearly have been a turbulent week how concerned is washington right now well a u.s. policy expert told me yesterday that it's time to get afraid to be afraid now and that kind of sums up the mood here in washington i think pretty good a lot of people are really starting to worry about the erratic actions taken by president trump in regards to syria and perhaps also in regards to pull out of afghanistan and these people are saying that whatever you you may think about madison other experienced officials leaving now the at least had a restraining fixed on president trump and with them leaving or already gone there

are really starting to worry people are really starting to worry here in washington what lies ahead all right michael. spun in washington for us thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the will a team of u.n. monitors has arrived in vietnam to observe a cease fire in the rebel held city of four days of fighting around given its main force has raised fears that supplies could be cut off to the millions of yemenis we're all experiencing severe food shortages. the spanish government has reported the allowed a rescue ship carrying more than three hundred migrants to disembark in spain this off to both italy and most as if they would bob be proactive open arms from docking the vessel is four days' journey away from spanish horns. and the other day off vienna vis antigovernment protests has been taking place across france demonstration is scuffle with police in paris but reports indicate turnout is low
