year, how high winds, rain, and potential snow could upend holiday plans. and a controversial call in high school wrestling. why a new jersey teen was forced to have his hair cut right before the match. >> ninan: good evening, i'm reena ninan. there's no deal in sight. the government will likely remain partially closed until after christmas. the senate adjourned today with no solution, and lawmakers aren't scheduled to meet again until next thursday. president trump doubled down today on his demands for a border wall, firing off a series of tweets writing, "we fight for the borders of other countries, but we won't fight for the borders of our own." meanwhile, multiple agencies remained shuttered, and hundreds of thousands of federal workers are either being furloughed or working without pay. ed o'keefe kicks us off from capitol hill. >> the next scheduled session will be on the 27th of

december. resolution to tharti government shutdown >> we pushedly the pause button until the president, from whom he will need a signature, and senate democrats, from whom we will need votes, reach an agreement. >> reporter: at issue is funding for about a quarter of the federal government. president trump is insisting on $5 billion for a wall along the u.s.-mexico border, but democrats continue to buck his demands. >> president trump is demanding billions of dollars for an expensive, ineffective wall that the majority of americans don't support. >> we all felt that was blarney. in fact, it was blarney. >> reporter: florida republican congressman matt gaetz is a close ally of the president. and do you acknowledge if you don't get it done now until full republican control of washington, it may not happen

ever? >> i think that the president has the wherewithal and the staying power to hold firm to his demands for $5 billion for border security. >> reporter: with top leaders barely speaking to each other, rank and file members are left to mostly watch and wait. >> most of that work is done. it's been done for months. all the argument's been about these final few dollars dealing with border security. >> reporter: with an impasse on capitol hill, other parts of the government began shutting down, including top washington tourist sites. >> reporter: other attractions, including the national zoo, remain open, at least for now. this is the third government shutdown of this calendar year, and the fourth since republicans retook control of congress in 2011. a shutdown back in 2013 lasted 16 days. this one could be on track to last much longer. reena. >> ninan: so, ed, what's the political calculus of if this shutdown runs until january when

the democrats actually take control of the house? >> reporter: that's a good question and that's why it could run a while because, of course, on january 3, a new congress begins. so they have to rip up the legislation they're working with right now and write new legislation. at that point, nancy pelosi and democrats in the house will have to draft the first bills to reopen the government. they might tuck in some of their priorities, and then have to negotiate with president trump. and that is what could make this a long shutdown. >> ninan: all right, ed o'keefe coming to us from capitol hill. ed, thank you very much. president trump was supposed to leave for mar-a-lago yesterday, but stayed in washington. weijia jiang has more from the white house. >> reporter: president trump has not made any public appearances today, but he has been active on twitter writing this morning, "i am in the white house work hard. we are negotiating with the democrats on desperately needed han trafficking, and more, but it could be a long stay." it's still unclear, though, what he means by "negotiating," because the president has not said if he's willing to budget

from the $5 billion he wants to build a border wall, a figure democrats say simply will not happen. mr. trump continued to defend his position, tweeting, "the crisis of illegal activity at our southern border is real and will not stop until we build a great steel barrier or wall. let work begin." earlier, mr. trump hosted a working lunch for several members of congress to talk about border security and the shutdown, but they were all republicans, including the chiefs of the conservative house freedom caucus, who are urging him to stand firm on his wall funding request. a senior administration official would not say if any democrats were invited or why president trump has not met in person with their leaders for nearly two weeks. instead, he deployed vice president mike pence and acting toill last nightnd again today tl.nganage this shud with as minimal disruption as

possible, and that the 420,000 federal employees who are working right now without pay will get their checks eventually. reena. >> ninan: weijia jiang at the white house. thank you, weijia. well, funding is summedded for some but not all government agencies. kenneth craig has more on who this partial shutdown will affect. >> reporter: the government shutdown means some federal workers, like department of agriculture employee mike lewis, maybe without their next paycheck. >> you try to prepare for it but it's hard to prepare for something like this so you try to do best you can. >> reporter: without a deal, overnight, funding ran out for nine federal agencies that employ about 800,000 people. those deemed essential, like air traffic controllers, t.s er plet without pay. about 400,000 others would be furloughed. >> i think we'll get one more paycheck, because we just put in our pay, but after that, you fue stands. >> reporter: there are parts of the government that won't be

affected, including the pentagon, the v.a., and all congressional staff. the u.s. postal service will continue to deliver mail. social security checks will still be sent out, and special counsel robert mueller's russia investigation will press forward. but perhaps the most visible impact will be at our national parks and the sites that are able to stay open will do so without national park service staff responsible for maintaining restrooms and running visitor centers. the statue of liberty, off in the distance behind me, also falls under the national parks service, but thanks to funding from new york state, it will stay open for the thousands of people who visit every day. reena. >> ninan: good to know lady liberty isn't affected. kenneth craig, thank you very much. a second high-level u.s. official has resigned in protest of president trump's decision to withdraw troops from syria. secretary of defense james mattis announced earlier this week that he will step down. and today, one of america's

most-distinguished diplomats and leader of the coalition against isis has quit. "face the nation" moderator margaret brennan was first to report this story and has the details. >> reporter: brett mcgurk , the leader of the anti-isis coalition, resigned friday over the president's snap decision to over-rule his national security team and to pull out 2,000 u.s. troops why syria without consulting our allies. now, mcgurk informed secretary of state mike pompeo that he's going to leave at the end of the month since he cannot carry out the president's policy and maintain his integrity. he was publicly left in the lurch by the president's tweet declaring victory over isis, despite u.s. government estimates that tens of thousands of fighters are still on the battlefield and the terror group's leader is still at large. just days beforehand, mcgurk had stood at the state department podium to guarantee u.s. commitment to the fight saying, "while isis inhabited just 1% of the territory they once held, the group still

maintains a dangerous level of influence and it would be reckless to withdraw now." >> i think it's fair to say americans will remain on the ground after the physical defeat of the caliphate until we have the pieces in place to ensure that that defeat is enduring. >> reporter: now, mcgurk had planned to leave the state department in february but he accelerated his departure in protest. he has been the glueled holding together the more than six-countries against isis. and this increases the level of concern that the president puts u.s. national security at risk. glig displi margaret, thank you. police arrested a british man and woman for flying a series of drones near a runway at the second busiest airport in england. the incident forced gatwick airport to close for nearly 36 hours on wednesday. passengers are still experiencing delays today. police are searching a house in crawley for evidence. and the pair remain in custody for questioning. officials say that there's no indication the incident was
