And you can be part of the conversation. Today, were asking if youve lost trust in social media to provide your news. And if so, who do you trust now . Tell us what you think. Just use the hashtag bbcthebriefing. The us senate has agreed to postpone a vote on ending the shutdown until later on monday. Having watched politicians from both sides making their attempts at a deal, we were expecting a vote in the next hour or so. But then came this the adjournment until noon on monday, meaning the federal government will remain closed as the working week begins. David willis is our washington correspondent. Welcome. What happened . Why couldnt they reach a deal . They have been talking over the weekend, particularly today, sunday, as it is here, and they have, it would seem, moved a little closer to some sort of agreement, even though which look on alls all of ranjit you like to the democrats was rejected. It is a confession of sorts. It does at least recognised the democrats desire, indeed insistence that a stopgap funding measure be aligned to some sort of agreement on the fate of the so called dreamers, the 800,000 or so called dreamers, the 800,000 or so young people who are in this country illegally, and who face deportation under President Trump in the next few weeks. Now, whats happened, as you say, there was due to bea happened, as you say, there was due to be a vote tonight. Instead, after Chuck Schumer rejected a bid by Mitch Mcconnell to get sorted out, they have gone away to sleep on it, they have gone away to sleep on it, they will reconvene tomorrow at ten oclock in the morning here and there is a second vote on this government funding bill scheduled for noon, midday. In the meantime, the working week begins in the us. What does it mean for ordinary and me what does it mean for ordinary and me ordinary americans. Non essential government staff hear face being told to go home and to be placed on indefinite leave. Essential stuff, we are told, including the military, prison service, the Transportation Safety people, they will continue to operate as normal. But we are starting to see some signs of this coming into effect. The iconic statue of liberty was closed over the weekend by the National Parks department, and it is funny because it was the closure of National Parks and monuments that particularly irked people back in 2013, when the last Government Shutdown took place here. That lasted 16 days, and led to 800,000 government workers being placed on temporary leave. David, thanks very much. Turkeys massive offensive against Kurdish Militia in syria is getting a lot of criticism. Troops and tanks entered yesterday after air strikes on saturday. Turkeys actions risk increasing tentions with its nato ally washington. The us backs the kurdish ypg militia in syria where its fighting against so called Islamic State. The worsening crisis in syria will be discussed at the un later. More now from mark lowen on the turkey syria border. As if syria needed more of this. Artillery fire from turkey, launching a new ground and air offensive. Its called 0peration olive branch, though its anything but a gesture of peace. From the air, turkish f 16s struck yesterday. Their target the syrian Kurdish Militia, or ypg. Turkey sees them as terrorists, linked to the outlawed pkk, who have long fought an insurgency in turkey on behalf of the kurdish minority. And it wants them pushed back from the border town of afrin. Turkeys president has his own troops fighting for their hero. And with elections next year, war rallies his support base. Translation this is a national struggle, and in this national struggle, we will crush anyone who stands against us. Thats a message that resonates in border villages, where grape grower 0mer gazel and his friends watched the jets. Translation we felt proud and happy as they took off. Everyone came out to bid them farewell. But the ypg has backing too. Both in syria, where kurds rallied today, and beyond. Translation we condemn the attack on afrin, and we tell our brothers there that they are in our hearts, and that we are with them. Because of the bravery of the ypg heroes, we will win the battle in afrin. The us armed them in the fight against the Islamic State group, infuriating turkey. France too voiced support for them today, calling on turkey to pull back. But the turks are ploughing on. This unverified footage posted on pro government media aiming to prove turkeys military might. In the hills beside the border, we found a further build up as the offensive shows no sign of ending. Reinforcements are perched here, a show of strength, ready to back up the Ground Troops and fighter jets already inside syria. Every few minutes, you hear the thud of an artillery strike. Turkey has clearly committed militarily to this operation, and it has widespread Popular Support here. But if the turks suffer losses or civilian casualties grow, that could change. And the risk is clear. This border town was hit by a rocket, said to be from the ypg, killing one and injuring more. Turkey is on dangerous ground, and a likely long, costly offensive is onlyjust beginning. Lets brief you on some of the other stories making the news. The headline has sentenced a former member of the leadership to 13 years in prison for economic mismanagement. It was once a chairman ofan mismanagement. It was once a chairman of an oil company. Another Oil Executive was given a life sentence for embezzlement. The venezuelan authorities have allowed the burial of rebel police officer, 0scar perez. He was killed by Security Forces last week.

Months of limbo, it looks like a deal could be on the cardslj months of limbo, it looks like a deal could be on the cards. I think it will take days or weeks of further negotiations. We have seen yesterday that leaders of the christian social union, mrs merkels smaller coalition partner, and they say it could be in february but also have been hearing other people say it could take till easter. It will be whether the spg tried to backtrack from their former agreement, which was the basis for this vote yesterday. We have seen quite a number of people saying, dont back track, just keep it at what it is because we need a government in germany. It will be interesting and for mrs merkel, one important step for her to be able to found another coalition and to stay in power. Another grand coalition. If it does go ahead, what will it mean economically . How will the two marray that Political Economic futures . Marray that Political Economic futures . I think the spd has been saying they are ok with not introducing higher taxes for those that are the high earners in a society, theres going to be more spending on infrastructure and then also education. I think overall it means continuation of what we have seen means continuation of what we have seen before. There will be more focus on the eu and strengthening the eu, more money for the eu, but it will not mean radical departure from what we have seen in terms of how the economy is run, which at the moment is fine. It is going well. They dont want any more interference from politics in berlin, they want to see some stability that inside going ahead. A great i stability that inside going ahead.

Finally, in hollywood some positive news in the gender equality movement. On her 90th birthday, minnie mouse will be unveiling her star on the hollywood walk of fame. Two weeks after the golden globes, female empowerment has again taken all the way from paris, london to las vegas. Chanting this is what democracy looks like last year, we were angry, and thats why we turned out. This year, were organised and thats why were turning out. Im empowered, and im ready to get people talking about these issues, and get people excited about them. A year into Donald Trumps presidency, and the focus isntjust on the man himself, but his policies. Many believe his immigration plans and cuts he has made to abortion funding and contraception access adversely affect women. Hes pushing to make Birth Control less accessible for women. You know, itsjust ridiculous how hes supposed to be for the people, but hes against the people. Hes against everyone thats here, and thats why im here today.

For amy, who came here today with her five year old daughter charlie, this is personal. For 12 years, i was the victim of Domestic Violence that my children observed. Now im free, finally, thank goodness, through no help of the systems that were meant to protect us. And im here to hope that the world will listen, and we can create systemic change to help little girls like charlie and myself. And one way organisers think that change can happen is by getting more women to register to vote, and even to run for office. They are channelling their energy on this years mid term congressional elections. This state of nevada was picked for this rally because it is a swing state, with a senate seat democrats believe they can win back from the republicans. There may be thousands of women here protesting donald trump, but dont forget that he won the election with a majority of white women voters, and many of those think he is doing a greatjob for women. And so, like so many issues here in the united states, even that of womens rights is one where this country is deeply divided. Two weeks after the golden globes, female empowerment has again taken centre stage at the 24th Screen Actors Guild awards.
