hans i got a phone thank at dot com. under said a watching live in paris on france24 the headlines this hour. the u. s. g government shutdown set to end on day three senate democrats agreed to sign off on spending in which said that what the republicans. to help the dream is the children of immigrants who could be devil's it's. did he trashes in northern syria's check teases offensive against kurdish prizes at least twenty two civilians have reportedly being killed president erdogan says he will not step back in is so. and the us embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem by the end of next year.

best watch president mike pence sixteen out surgeries speech to israel's parliament the palestinians boycott is is it. always out with relief for hundreds of thousands of government workers in the united states after they began the week on sure. if that would be getting pays after three a day government shutdown the first in several years. said it has agreed on a compromise that means the democrats will sign off on a spending plan to keep the government funded until the eighth of february. in the senate what protections for the children of undocumented immigrants in the united states will for more that is the top democrat set in the senate. as speaking about the agreement a short while ago. i've been having conversations with the

republican leader over the weekend. about a path forward. after several discussions. offers counter offers. the republican leader and i've come to an arrangement. we will vote today. to reopen the government. with the commitment that. if an agreement isn't reached by february the eighth. the senate will immediately proceed. to consideration of legislation dealing with dr. well more that it's gonna see it washington our correspondent it crowther's that and if they did this is not the first government shot down in the united states at but is said chuck schumer at a who had that also pointed out is the first time it's happened. when one party was in control of the house the senate and the presidency as opposed at the republican state out how did this happen. that's a very good question. what this shows is that the two sides are clearly known to get along republicans and democrats have had serious trouble at negotiating with each other on the power balance? that one paper as you say is pretty obvious

the house of representatives and the u. s. senate are controlled by republicans as is the white house but when it comes to actual decision making and negotiating is not quite so clear hence why democrats. thought they had the upper hand here when they decided essentially to scupper the deal to keep government funded hence why the government shutdown began and is now. in its third day democrats wanted to have as part of this as spending bill protection for the so called dreamers these are the immigrants young immigrants who came to the united states as children. with that parents illegally and whose protections run out in march that's essentially where this whole impasse comes from between republicans and democrats. now you're right to say that some republicans pretty much control everything in washington these days after

the election all donald trump and that is why democrats believe. it would be pretty easy to blame republicans for a government shut down when they are in power but that doesn't really seem to have worked out democrats a very much seen as. having caved on this one with the government presumably re opening in just a few hours time i can tell you that republicans on the hill on capitol hill thd by the u. s. however house of representatives it then signed into law by the us president. doesn't really go very far it's will school to see all a continuing resolution it keeps the government funded until the eighth of february some very long is it so. until then there is that promise from mitch mcconnell the

republican leader in the senate that very important issues will be discussed and presumably voted on and that would include thehe daca program the fate. of the so called dream as the immigrants who could be deported. by march but if that does not work out as you just heard in that sound bite. then there could be another government shutdown on the eighth of february it's what you call kicking the can down the road and it is what it shows is that the two sides. haven't really come to a big agreements they've come to an agreement to reopen the government said because no one wins from a government shutdown. but we'll be talking about the same issssues for the next w weeks i'm afraid and that includes immigration policy in more than anything the face of those. young immigrants who came

to the united states as children illegally with that parents that face is very much in congress's hands stressful them stressful to for the government what is already much in fit. thank you very much indeed state g for western intervention on the has this report. the syrian democratic forces are pushing back against turkey. the other room this. is a flagrant aggression against own components to syria. what's that islamic state terrorist organization. on saturday turkish troops and free syrian army fighters launched an operation against the kurdish ypg militia. the biggest part of the asean alliance. the aim to crush the ypg in the northern syrian town of our friends.
