4:01 am
good morning from the studio 57 newsroom at cbs headquarters here in new york. good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. it is now day 26 of the partial government shutdown which has forced hundreds of thousands of workers to go without paychecks. now we are learning the shutdown is causing more economic damage than previously thought, and negotiations are deadlocked. marc liverman is here in new york with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anne-marie. the shutdown's impact on the economy is even worse than analysts first thought. a big reason for that is just how long it's lasted and the fact that there are no signs it's coming to an end. white house economists say the partial government shutdown is having a greater economic impact than previously thought. >> there are people who are having trouble making their rent payments, who aren't able to go out and go to a restaurant or something. and those are permanent hits to
4:02 am
consumption. >> reporter: the council of economic advisors visors says the shutdown is costing the u.s. economy .13% points in growth every week. that's more than double what was first estimated. 800,000 federal employees are either furloughed or working without pay. that includes 42,000 coast guard members and their families who missed their first paycheck yesterday. >> every day that it lasts is another day where we worry about what we're going to do next. >> reporter: back in washington, both sides remain dug in over funding for the border wall. >> republicans are really, really sticking together. >> reporter: president trump's efforts to splinter democrats fizzled yesterday. he invited rank-and-file congress members to the white house for a bipartisan lunch, but only republicans showed up. instead, a group of freshmen house democrats crossed capitol hill. they demanded the republican-controlled senate take up legislation to reopen the government. >> we've been calling this a trump shutdown because that's precisely what it is.

4:04 am
investigation dominated day one of barr's confirmation hearing. >> do you believe mr. mueller would be involved in a witch hunt against anybody? >> i don't -- i don't believe mr. mueller would be involved in a witch hunt. >> reporter: barr assured the judiciary committee that he would not allow outsiders to interfere with his department's work. >> i am not going to do anything that i think is wrong, and i will not be bullied into doing anything i think is wrong. >> reporter: barr is all but certain to be confirmed. cabinet nominees require just a simple majority, and republicans currently hold a six-seat advantage in the senate. democrats have pressed barr about an unsolicited memo he sent to officials at the justice department last year. in it he argued that mueller's obstruction theories are legally insupportive and inconceived. >> it sounds like an effort to ingratiate yourself for an administration that is trying to nominate you attorney general. >> i am not trying to ingratiate myself with anybody.

4:07 am
>> it's divided. my family's divided. i know people that can't talk to their neighbors anymore. >> reporter: some protesters compare brexit to a sinking ship with may at the helm and are calling for another referendum to reverse britain's decision to leave. >> we need to go back to the people to break the deadlock and throw britain the lifeline it badly needs to get out of this mess. >> reporter: with just ten weeks until brexit, analysts warn if britain leaves the eu without a deal, it could plunge the world's fifth-largest economy into chaos. cbs news, london. a violent terrorist attack in kenya left at least 14 people dead including an american.
