In the far east of indonesia is facing a Serious Health crisis im stuff lots of reporting from the us market region in the south of where children are dying because of undernourishment and Measles Outbreak. U. S. Government shutdown is set to continue on monday as republican and democrat senators struggle to end the stalemate over funding. A vote on the Government Spending bill has been delayed until monday after the two sides failed to reach a compromise money for federal agencies was cut off on saturday affecting a range of departments including paul support and Visa Services immigration is the heart of the dispute democrats want funding tied to protection for undocumented migrants who enter the u. S. As children republicans and democrats blame each other for the impasse how did your castro has more from washington d. C. The shutdown of the u. S. Government will stretch into a third day this is after the faint glimmer of hope to achieve an overnight compromise was dashed when Senate Democrats announced that yet there was still no deal now the next possible vote would come at noon monday but on an elusive compromise that has yet to be reached a group of bipartisan centrist senators have been working behind closed doors to reach that compromise so far whats been discussed is a temporary measure to reopen the government until february eighth and then to address immigration that may be a hard pill for democrats to swallow they see this as their opportunity to leverage the budget in order to help the eight hundred thousand young undocumented immigrants hold dreamers were brought to this country illegally as children meanwhile u. S. President donald trump one time said he wished to help the legalize those young people has now in recent days turned back on that stance playing to his base and saying he wants a harder stance on immigration with these shifting stances and with the finger pointing coming from trumps account on twitter it remains to be seen when and if a compromise to reopen the federal government will occur to you is a no is a professor of Political Science at iona college she believes that ending the shutdown is out of the president s hands. Theres not much the president can do except use his bully pulpit to try to convince either the American People to convince their senators or the senators themselves to get the government open and the president i think is feeling a bit of frustration because if you recall in two thousand and thirteen he roundly criticized president obama for not having the skills and the leadership to strike a deal to bring people together and strike a deal well its easier said than done as hes finding out today the fact that we have a divided system with a Huge Division between the executive and the senate and in the house means that congress can absolutely hold the country hostage republicans did it over obamacare in two thousand and thirteen it had been done previously during the Clinton Administration and its being done now and i think you know depending on where you sit you may think that dach is such an important issue that the democrats are right to do this other people thought obamacare was such an important issue and should be repealed that the republicans were right so its really a question comes down to where you sit on the partisan spectrum as to whether you think this kind of tactic is worth it or not and democrats certainly feel that dhaka is such a key emotional issue and that there is so much support even amongst republicans for making sure that these quote unquote dreamers who are brought here as children are protected that they feel that theyre in the right to do this and theyre unwilling to go along with republicans opening the government and then saying well deal with dhaka later us as he used restraints and his operation against kurdish fighters in Northern Syria his soldiers have ends of the enclave of a free pass of an assault to drive out Kurdish Peoples Protection its a wife. To his presence is vowing to crush the group which he views as a terrorist organization reports. The border echoes with the sounds of war turkeys offensive on africa is now well under way the ground operation started on sunday turkish soldiers supporting Free Syrian Army fighters inside syria. Turkish president brigitte type edulis defiant as he addressed a large crowd in the city of course and. This is a National Struggle and then this National Struggle will crush anyone who stands against us let this be known. Its been a week of rhetoric politicians promising that turkey was going to attack a free to rid of the y. P. G. Kurdish fighters that im pro considers terrorists but theyre also the u. S. Is best ally on the ground in fighting eisel regardless of International Complications turkey is fully committed to this offensive were on turkeys border with africa and throughout the day weve heard the sound of jets in the sky also intense artillery and machine gun fire outgoing from a turkish base behind that mountain other why p. G. Are extremely well trained they know the terrain in offering but turkey has superiority when it comes to the skies and that gives it a huge advantage. Belligerence here heard the airstrikes late on saturday as turkey started its offensive and they are a little uneasy. Or. Here we are right next to the action with planes flying over our heads in the lot of shelling of course we are confident but at the end of the day anything can happen shells have already fallen in turkey so we are worried this could happen here. Turkey says it will continue its operation until its pushed the y. P. G. Away from its borders no one knows how long that will take what the implications may be. Stephanie differences here on the turkey syria border. As max that is the at times professor at George Washington university he says the u. S. Could attend a blind eye to the tacksman a trial for a ship theres certainly a domestic component to all the rhetoric coming out of turkey and even here in washington theres an understanding of why president early one needs to conduct this military operation in fact i would go as far as saying and there there might be even a tacit acceptance that as long as circus troops remain on the west bank of the Euphrates River that washington might decide to look the other way and not come to the assistance of its kurdish allies on the ground now if turkey decides to cross the river to the east side thats a whole different story because thats where u. S. National interests are at stake i think washington after quite some time President Trump coming into office articulated a syria policy one that aims to preserve u. S. Gains in syria the u. S. Had been involved in trying to push isis out and now that they have they want to hold on to the territory that they and their allies have and also to try and put some pressure on iran in syria financial pressure because they are rainy and spent up to fifty billion dollars a year in supporting the assad regime and that territory that the u. S. Is holding on to is very rich in Natural Resources including oil theres the Euphrates Dam and theres also a very agriculture agriculturally rich land in that area so this is part of a broader geo political calculus for washington why they want to remain in that part of syria. Yes Vice President mike pence says and israel is part of his middle east where Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has called him a great friend of palestinians in the west bank protested his rival from jordan is the highest level u. S. Visit since president of trumps decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital in december and jordan pence agreed to disagree with King Abdullah over the decision to force it reports from occupied east jerusalem. On the second leg of his regional visit the u. S. Vice president was keen to offer assurances to a major middle east an ally and by extension to the palestinians who refused to meet him on the issue of jerusalem we are committed to continue to respect jordans role as the custodian of holy sites that we take no position on boundaries and final status those are subject to negotiation and and as i think clearly you are the president make clear the World United States of america remains committed if the parties agree to a two state solution through the arab worlds public outrage with a recognition by u. S. President donald trump ob jerusalem as israels capital the jordanian king offered a conciliatory tone your visits here im sure is to rebuild the trust confidence in not only how we move forward with two state solution on the us drew forth like sixty seven lice and hes jewish as a couple of independent palestinian state but living side by side with a secure recognisance ready quotas for internationals yet he says thats far from the line being taken by the palestinian leadership its president Mahmoud Abbas declaring that the u. S. Had given it the slap of the century reiterating his position that the u. S. Could no longer be involved in the Peace Process the u. S. Vice president isnt meeting the palestinians but he does have a message publicly apparently tailored towards them reiterating u. S. Support for a two state solution if thats what both sides agreed to of course for the palestinians that message is entirely overshadowed by what donald trump said over a month ago declaring that the u. S. View jerusalem as israels capital. But many of the messenger himself is part of the problem the shift in u. S. Policy with which pence was closely associated was welcomed by his evangelical christian base many of whom believe the return of the jews to the holy land is a precursor to jesus Second Coming there ben says and gender that is extremist fundamentalist looked. Christian absolutist idiology which goes against all the beliefs and commitments of the arab and Palestinian Christians and particular and they feel that they have been betrayed by somebody who is kneeling. To mend this injustice he was in their lives and as a justification for israelis its a different picture pence represents a u. S. Administration that recognized what they see as an uncontroversial reality jerusalem status is the capital of yemen a great friend of the state of israel arrives here this evening a true friend United StatesVice President mike pence we welcome him here and im looking forward to our discussions we will discuss the trumpet ministrations efforts to hold irans aggression the Iranian Nuclear program and ways to advance peace and security in the region.
