to work for 21 days.s. a committee made of republicans and d democrats from the house d senate would review the government's request for a wall on the border with mexico. the shutdown is in its 35th day and hahas seen hundreds of thousands of federal workers left without pay. mr. trump: i am proud to announce today we e have reachea deal to end the shutdown and reopened the fedederal governme. [applause] as everyone knows, i have a very powerful alternative, but i didn't want to use it at this time. hohopefully it will b be unnecessary. i want to thank a all of the incredible federal workers and their amazing families who have shown extraordinary devotion in the face of this recent hardship. you are fantastic people.

you are incredible patriots. many of you have suffered far greater than anyone, but your families know or understand. not only did you not comomplain, but in many cases youu encouourd me to keepep going because you care so much about our country and its border security. carl: big news from the president. joining us to break this down is maya shwayder in washington. are there any surprises? maia: the biggest surprise was the fact this happened. the president built up his image being a tough negotiator who never backs down, and this week we saw him back down, capitulate, concede his signature policy, building this wall. he was willing to date -- take a

measures, shutting down the government for the longest time in order to get his way. now he has come off of that horse and agreed to reopen the government in the face of declining poll numbers, relentlessly negative news against him. so many factors have built up to this moment including his own staff telling him he was losing ground. it is extraordinary to see him even out conceding the point and saying he is willing to move forward even the little bit he said. carl: this was the 35th day, seems like it would go on -- seemed like he would go on forever. why now? maya: a couple factors. one is yesterday we saw both houses of congress put up bills, proposed bills that would have ended the shutdown. all of those attempts got smacked down by various

opposition parties working against each other. when both parties had a chance to publicly smack down the other one's proposal, both sides in the senate were able to come together in the back rooms and work out a deal. we think that is what happened. both sides are able to say, here is what we can do moving forward. the other factor is the big, breaking news, the longtime associate of the president roger stone was arrested earlier this morning. the president coming out and giving breaking news that has dominated the news cycle, the fact he is reopening the government was a savvy media way to push this down. carl: this is a temporary measure, three weeks of funding for the government. what happens after february 15?

maya: we heard the president alluding to using his power to declare a national emergency which is something people had been expecting. they thought he would have a few days of shutdown, then declare a national emergency. now we see him threatening that again. it is likely that would happen. feels like the president would rather do that than face another government shutdown on the heels of this one that ended. carl: three weeks of temporary calm. thank you. as we heard, a longtime ally of president trump was provisionally released from custody after being arrested friday morning. roger stone will face travel restrictions and a possible $250,000 fine if he fails to attend court. he has been charged with obstruction of justice, witness

tampering and making false statements. he was an advisor to donald trump during the 2016 election campaign. the charges stem from robert mueller and his investigation into whether the campaign colluded with russia in the collection. stone denies the charges. >> i will plead not guilty to these charges. i will defeat them in court. this is a politically motivated investigation. i am troubled by the motivations of the prosecutors. as i said previously, there is no circumstance whatsoever under which i will bear false witness against the president, nor will i make up lies to ease the pressure on myself. i look forward to being completely vindicated. carl: now to the other stories making news. greek lawmakers have approved a landmark name change deal with

macedonia. they will rename themselves north macedonia and athens will drop its objection to the country joining nato. there were parliament protests but numbers were smaller than recent days. it almost brought down the greek government. the israeli troops have shot and killed a palestinian in gaza as thousands took part in red nude protests on the border. palestinians -- renewed protests on the border. the protesters burned tires and threw rocks and fire bombs. rescue workers in brazil are working to free people trapped in the mud following the collapse of a dam. 200 have been reported missing. it broke in southeastern brazil near the city of belo horizonte. it covered huge areas.

venezuela's self-declared interim president juan guaido says he will not give up his fight for fresh elections. he has announced large-scale protests next week. in caracas he encouraged his people to carry on protesting even if he is arrested. he called for the army to side with him. the united states and others have e recognized him, but nicos maduro is going to stake his claim to the office. he has been addressing the nation and offered to meet with guaido for talks. let's get more frorom caracas. that is where our reporter is standing b by for us. ninicolas maduro has been offerg to speak with his rival guaido. how is the opposition reacting? why not set up a meeting? oscar: there is littttle credibibility within guaido's

[indiscecernible] especially when it comes to starting a dialogue. ththere have been four negotiation's betweenn the opposition and majuro's governmement -- ninicolas madu's government. as president of the national assembly, juan guaido said they will evaluate [indiscernible] with the new amnesty law. but that would mean nicolas maduro will have to resign his power. that seems unlikely. carl: guaido is calling for a major demonstration next week. protests have been met withth violence. whatat can wee expect?t? ososcar: it is something that worries people here and the u.n. human rights comommissioner has asked for the investigation on the deaths of 20 peeeelable. -- 20 people. the third of january was a

historic date for a major m mar, and it has since been relatively peaceful ithe e day. the situatition that could be solved with the ararrival of military and aid to help with food and medicine shortages. carl: maduro still has the support of the military. guaido is courting the military. what role does the army play? oscar: it plays a very important role. that is the center of the national assembly strategy to win over the power struggle with an amnesty law thahat wouould bn to the military on sunday to establblish a new leadership. expectations are high and it depends o on how t the [indiscernible] impact of the armed forces in venezuela. it will be interesting. carl: washington wants maduro

out. they are threatening to divert oil money to his rival. how crededible of a threat is that? oscar: it is very crededible. also t this part of courting the military, whoever has the funds will have power in n venezuela. it is not onlyly that but the 20 mimillion dollars that the u.s. promised guaido for mililitary aid. that i is going to b be implemed in the following dayays accordig to guaido. we will see how that plays out as well. carl: pressure ramping up. thank you. in indonesia authorities say floods and landslides have killed 59 people. heavy rain pounded the south province, causing rivers to burst their banks. thousands have been forced to flee. that country's disaster management agency said many are still missing. reporter: the high wawater mark

could already be behind them but the danger has far from suicided -- subsided. 3000 were forced to leave their homes as rivers burst their banks and hillsides gave way. flooding is hardly a rarity during monsoon season, but residedents say they were caught unawares. >> the water started to rise here,hen a nearby river burst its banks. afteter 10 m minutes, the waters a meter and a half high. we didn't expect it. reporter: emergency shelters have been erected in local mosques. the military has been deployed throughout the island. their first challenge, keeping evacuees warm and fed. >> they are starving, kids asking for milk and food. it is hard to get for them -- to

them. reporter: rescuers continue to pull people from the water. with dozens missing and many villages still underwater, they worry the number of the dead will continue to rise. carl: germany's foreign minister heiko maas has called for the united nations security council to give greater attention to the link between climate change and peace and security here he was inaugurating the two-year rotating membership on the council for germany and has made climate change one of his key priorities. >> climate change is real. it is hahaving a global impact, and it is increasingly becoming a threat to international peace and security. this is why the debate about the policy consequences of climate change belongs here. the security councilil. it must bebecome r routine for o take the link between climate and security into account in all

conflict situations. carl: i am joined by our correspondent oliver sallet. this was heiko maas' first ever appearance. why did he ever choose to focus on this? oliver: because heiko maas strongly believes that climate change, as we are witnessing it, is a major threat for the world and peace and security in particular. he believes it doesn't get enough attention. neither in the united nations, nor elsewhere in the world. we observed a strong speech of the german foreign minister at the united nations today. one of the most striking moments was when he showed features -- showed pictures photographed from space, the international

space station iss. you could clearly see the effects of climate change and the drought of 2018 across europe. it doesn't need a lot of fantasy to see how this could play out in the future if no solution is found very we have heard other speeches at the united nations, warnings and reports about refugee crises of the future we cannot imagine nowadays, of millions of people from sub-saharan africa that would have to flee as a result of climate change, famine and starvation. the german take on this is only the international community can come up with a solution because it is an international problem. the animations would be the perfect -- united nations would be perfect to tackle this. germany wants to put all of its effort in this in the coming two years.

carl: what else can we expect from germany on the u.n. security council? oliver: the expectations are high for germany. that is what german diplomats have been telling me thrououghot the last days. germany is known for its commitment for human rights. climate is another one. one more important topic germany findnds here of importance for e next two years is sexual violence against women in war-torn countries. that is where germany wants to push forward for united nations resolution. they are also considering having angela merkel o over at the unid nations leading a security council meeting. those are the most important topics here at this point. germany is already one of the biggest contributors to the u.n. budget, also u.n. troops.

expepectations are that germany would step up its efforts further. carl: oliver sallet, thank you. heiko maas has made that his priority, but at home the government is struggling to keep up with its own schedule to phase out coal. it is controversial because some regions have a relied -- relied on it for decades. the bundestag spent days of wrestling with this and campaigners came to pile on the pressure. >> school can wait for lucas today. he and his classmates have joined this student demonstration in berlin to protest climate change. >> what do we want? nolan >> there is not a lack of knowledge but of action. that is why it is good to go in the streets and express our

views, but we will see what comes out of it. reporter: these young students are demanding action from those sitting in the building across the street. the german core commission, a group of experts that advises the german government how to end coal production. the minister said this is more than climate change. >> if we act smart, there will be no losers. there will only be winners. we will be supporting those regions affected by structural change, and the government will stay committed to its climate policy goals. reporter: it is not clear if the politicians are listening, but the young demonstrators have caught the attention of this chinese artists and activists. -- artist and activist. >> they clearly state their mind and they have to say stop it.

we have enough. reporter: regardless of the outcome today, lucas and his demonstrators are set on their goal. thousands of students from across the country have arrived in the capital today to talk about and set aside for germany exiting the coal industry. they know decisions are soon taken that only will affect their generation and those of the future. carl: the most famous men's downhill skiing race of the season has offered the usual thrills and spills. this race in austria is an institution. dominic paris is now part of folklore after sealing his third victory in the race. reporter: long live the king. dominic paris won for the third time at the most legendary alpine downhill skiing, first in

reporter: chancellor angela merkel made a plea for more international cooperation. some saw that as a message to donald trump who stayed at home because of the government shutdown. there were new faces this year. brazil's new president jair bolsonaro made his first appearance, using the opportunity to attract foreign investors. many of the leaders who grabbed headlines didn't attend this year, but for most participants, that didn't matter. they came to talk and to do business. those events don't happen on the big stage but in the back rooms of the congress center error -- center, or even here on this street in a little swiss town. carl: george soros had strong words for the chinese president, calling xi jinping the most dangerous enemy of free societies. he said china's social creditt

system would give president xi total control over his people. beijing is developing a facial recognition system which he says would enable the government to use algorithms to determine how big a threat an individual poses to the regime. u.u.s. tech giants like facebook need to be reined in for the sake of democracy, he said. vodafone, one of the largest mobile carriers, says it will pause purchases of huawei hardware for the european market. more and more governments in europe are rolling bans to stop people from partnering with the chinese company to build 5g mobile networks. they say the company is a trojan horse for beijing, making it a security risk. huawei denies connection with the chinese government. germany's business confidence index has fallen for the fifth month in a row.
