the e-sport are making big money. this is the "cbs evening news" good evening, i'm reena ninan. president trump marks exactly one year in office tonight with the federal government in a partial shutdown. at 12:01 a.m. eastern time, after the senate failed to approve a temporary spending bill, the government officially ran out of money for the fiscal year. in most cases, though, it's still functioning. congress had a rare saturday session trying to overcome the dysfunction and the discord that triggered the shutdown. nancy cordes is at the capitol. >> reporter: locked gates and shutdown signs greeted visitors today at the statue of liberty, ellis island, and the liberty bell as half of the military's civilian workfofers furloughed, and the national institutes of health interrupted medical research. >> already, funding is in jeopardy for our veterans. >> reporter: republican leaders

5:33 pm
>> the idea of letting this continue to fester is unacceptable to most americans, and i think now to the congress as a whole. >> reporter: but democrats want more proof that the talks won't fall apart yet again. >> otherwise, we're just becoming accomplices to their incompetence, and we cannot do that for the american people. >> reporter: negotiations continue, but at this point, there are no votes scheduled in the house or senate to reopen the government and fund it, which makes it look increasingly likely, reena, that this shutdown will stretch on for least another day. >> ninan: nancy cordes on capitol hill. thank you, nancy. the shutdown forced president trump to change his one-year anniversary plans, which included a fund-raising party in florida. major garrett at the white house. >> reporter: president trump was supposed to wake up at his mar- a-lago estate, but instead, awoke in the white house residence, tweeting about the shutdown dawning on the

5:35 pm
extraordinarily difficult to negotiate with people who won't vote for something they like. >> reporter: earlier this year, the president tweeted the country "could use a good shutdown." >> you have to be nice and be angry and cajole. >> reporter: during the last lapse in federal funding in 2013, mr. trump said it was the president's responsibility to resolve the impasse. >> very simply, you have to get everybody in a room. you have to be a leader. the president has to lead. >> reporter: if you dial the main white house number, you'll hear a recording that blames democrats for holding national security funding hostage, and that recording promises someone will actually pick up the phone but not until the shutdown ends. reena. >> ninan: major, thank you. john dickerson will have more on the shutdown tomorrow as he anchors "face the nation" for the very last time. his guests will include house speaker paul ryan. well, as major pointed out, women across the country were on the march today. thousands took to the streets from coast to coast. they rallied for a variety of

5:39 pm
university medical center says this year's flu vaccine is about 20% to 30% effective. does the flu shot ease symptoms if you still do get the flu? >> even if you've gotten the flu despite having received the vaccine, you're likely to have a less-severe case. you're less likely to have the complications of pneumonia, having to be hospitalized, and dying. >> reporter: this epidemic means extreme measures across the country. a few california hospitals built tents outside to cater to patient overflow. some churches are telling parishioners to skip holding hands during prayer to avoid germs. and all schools in bonham, texas, closed for a week after flu cases there soared. charlie also battled pneumonia, but after three weeks of treme, she's now home and healthy. if you haven't gotten a flu shot yet, the c.d.c. recommends you get one right away because it can only help. and, reena, flu season usually peaks in february. >> ninan: still weeks away. thank you so much, nikki.
