caroline davis at gatwick, thank you. a deal to stop a partial shutdown of the american government. the row is over funding that president trump is demanding for a border wall with mexico. 0ur washington correspondent chris buckler is at the white house. no compromise between mr crook —— mr trump and congress. how long could this shutdown go on for? yeah, that special sitting of congress, there was little sign of festive cheer on this weekend before christmas, with the republicans blaming democrats and democrats blaming the republican president accusing him of a trump shutdown caused by a temper tantrum over his desires for a border wall. but it's going to have an effect on hundreds of thousands of workers. all of whom don't know when or if they will be paid. that's not the only issue facing the white house at the moment. president trump also faces increased scrutiny over his decision, a surprise announcement, to pull us troops out of syria. it's led to the resignation of his defence secretaryjim matt jess led to the resi

the immigration minister caroline nokes has been dispatched to dover.e will meet border force officers, as well as the town's mp. he says that for too long the home office has not been taking the issue seriously enough and wants additional border force cutters in the channel. i think it is fairly clear that one is simply not enough and i think we need to ask questions — what are the two patrol craft doing in the mediterranean? would they be better placed in the english channel? so i will hopefully get to meet the immigration minister to talk to her about whether we are getting the balance right. but the home secretary has deferred an immediate decision on that. he has asked the border force to consider whether additional vessels in the channel could encourage more people to make the crossing, because they could be seen as rescue rather than patrol boats. he is set to talk to his french counterpart this weekend, but both will know that tackling the people traffickers behind the upsurge in crossings will not be quick or easy. simon jones, bbc news. 0ur co
