Its a Government Shutdown nobody wanted. It went to the wire but there was no last minute deal.

On this vote, the ayes of 50, nays are 49. The motion is not agreed. The motion is not agreed to. Now the Trump Administration faces an embarrassing shutdown. What we have just witnessed on the floor was a cynical decision by Senate Democrats to shove aside millions of americans for the sake of irresponsible political gains. The Government Shutdown was 100 avoidable. President trump if you are President Trump, if you are listening, please ta ke yes trump, if you are listening, please take yes for an answer.

It means federal offices and services will close and thousands of staff placed on temporary unpaid leave as early as monday. Military operations, though, will continue.

Downing street has confirmed the reset may will hold talks with trump next week. The press secretary said the meeting would be used as a chance to further strengthen the special relationship between the us and the uk. British tourists injamaica are being advised not to leave their resorts unsupervised, after a state of emergency was declared in the area around the popular holiday destination of montego bay. The change has been prompted by a recent rise in violent crime. Nick davis reports. For a country that depends on tourism, the pictures of troops on the streets of montego bay, jamaicas biggest resort, isnt ideal, but the government says it is something that needs to be done. The Security Forces are expected and have been directed to treat citizens with respect and protect the dignity and safety of all. Most of the tourists who visit montego bay and much of the north coast stay in gated or guarded secluded hotels. But crime in the city has spiked. Last year saw the 1,600 people murdered in jamaica. 335 of them in stjames, the area where montego bay is. Most of the crime is gang related and focused in a small number of communities. The Foreign Office has advised holidaymakers that they should only travel to and from the airport to their hotels and when they do take excursions to make sure they are arranged by official tour reps. The Authorities Say there will be more roadblocks and vehicle searches as they go after the gangs and their guns. A similar state of emergency in 2010, in kingston, saw the murder rate drop to its lowest levels in years, a statistic that meant lives saved. In montego bay its hoped the same will happen again. The french president has suggested the uk could get a bespoke trade deal with the European Union after brexit, but again warned that britain would not have full access to the Single Market without accepting its rules. In an interview to be broadcast on the Andrew Marr Show tomorrow, Emmanuel Macron said he respected, but regretted, the brexit vote and said the eu would love to welcome the uk back. Lets get more on this from our Political Correspondent emma vardy. Good morning. It is great when we actually hear the words come out of actually hear the words come out of a president s mouth, actually saying what he thinks and being quite candid. Absolutely. Thats why eve ryo ne candid. Absolutely. Thats why everyone has been watching so closely. President macrons visit wasnt really about wrecks it but of course we will all be looking for clues as to how favourably france might look on britain when it comes to this difficult negotiations. Theresa may has alway said that what britain wants is a trade deal with the eu that allows british businesses to continue trading. Inaudible. You businesses to continue trading. Inaudible. You need businesses to continue trading. Inaudible. You need contribution to the budget and you have to accept the freedoms and the four pillows and you have to accept the jurisdiction. Of course this was president macrons first visit to britain since being elected as french president , so his words are important. What we saw was britain and france reaffirming that the relationship as neighbours, friends and allies, but he very much stays with the eus position, that britain cant expect any special favours. Thanks very much. The family of the american rock star tom petty has revealed that his death last october was caused by an accidental drug overdose. He was found unconscious at his home in malibu, days after completing an extensive tour to mark the 40th anniversary of his band, the heartbreakers.

Church bells and music venues in england are to be offered extra protection against attempts to silence them by People Living in new properties nearby. The government is changing Planning Guidance so that long standing, but noisy, Community Amenities wont have to make expensive changes because of complaints from new neighbours.

Pope francis has used a visit to peru to sound a stark warning about the future of the amazon and its indigenous communities. The pontiff told the people of Puerto Maldonado that the region had never been so threatened by businesses keen to exploit it for oil, gas, food and gold. Tribal elders called on him to help protect them from being driven from their lands. Virginia langeberg reports. Pope francis arrived on the edges of the amazon rainforest to a resoundingly warm reception. From those perhaps too young to fathom the scale of the issues their communities face. The pontiff was not just a communities face. The pontiff was notjust a guest communities face. The pontiff was not just a guest for these amazonian tribes, but a powerful mouthpiece for their plight, protecting the land they see slipping away from them. This once tranquil part of the world has fallen victim to an illegal gold rush which has spawned a billion dollar black market that is destroying their habitats and has seen the introduction of Human Trafficking and violent criminal networks. The native amazonian people have probably never been so threatened as they are at present. The amazon is a territory that is being disputed on many fronts. Translation i have a feeling of peace and tranquillity. He has comforted us with his soft words, telling us you can change this world and continue with our customs and traditions. Pope francis then travelled to perus capital, lima, but was forced to switch vehicles in the middle of the motorway after the car suffered a flat tyre. The amazon will now be the focus of a world bishops meeting taking place in october next year. I think it is fair to say its been an eventful 12 months since donald trump came to the white house. But what kind of president has he been . According to polls, hes one of the most unpopular of recent times, with Approval Ratings of around 39 . Compare that to george w bush, who had an Approval Rating of 84 after one year in office. This means he has the lowest Approval Rating after one year in office. The previous lowest was bill clinton. But the president has been successful in introducing some of his popular election promises, the sweeping reform of the tax system is one example. So what do analysts make of the president s inaugural year . Joining us now is professor cary cooper from the university of manchester, and the journalist Blanquita Cullum who joins us from texas. Ifi if i can just if i canjust ask if i can just ask you first, blanquita, what are your reflections on this one Year Anniversary . Its been quite interesting, how he won the republican primary. I mean from the republican primary. I mean from the very beginning he changed the narrative. He took centre stage. This year, as you pointed out, the economy is booming in the United States, jobs are up, the stock market is very strong, Companies Like apple are bringing out bonuses, people are getting jobs and so consequently hes doing very well. The interesting thing is that you are right, trump has been a controversial figure. Are right, trump has been a controversialfigure. He has had a lot of critics and people from the Mainstream Press that dont like him. Hes had democrats from the Democratic Party that just him. Hes had democrats from the Democratic Party thatjust cant stand him. At the mainstream, the base of the party, really likes him a lot stop white it interesting, you just touched on this. It interesting. There are big fans who think he is making a difference on the ground. What do you think . Hes choral group that back in, he has reinforced it. His core group. The people we spoke to, one hadnt voted before and the other would have voted for clinton but didnt like her, so switched to trump. So this wont necessarily core supporters. If you have a look at what happened in alabama, where he lost the senate, i know it was unusual because the republican candidate had problems, as i suspect he wont win in november. It will be interesting to see. But take the business bit, the economy is booming, but when did it start to boom . In the last two years of the obama administration. The unemployment started to decline, growth started to occur. It didnt happen. By the way there was no legislation that he did, that trump did, in the last year that would encourage business. Any president in charge when an economy is booming wheel and can claim credit for it. Absolutely, and so he is taking credit for something. The tax thing which he passed is quite profound, and probably will have an impact. But i dont know whether it will have an impact on his core voters in the rust belt. It will be interesting to hear what she has to say. We will give you a chance to react. Let me tell you, and the thing of it is, i think you need to learn how to read this one right. Because i know while you may not like him personality wise, this man is going to get re elected. And tonight, the shutdown of the government, the stupid move by the democrats, just gave him the absolute win for the next election. And let me tell you why. This president understands the people. You know, years ago there was a comedian by the name of george burns, and he used to say, dont forget the folks that by the tickets. This president understands the american people. While the democrats were trying to shut down the government because of the dreamers act, which didnt come up until march, they were funding the military, funding the young people that needed to have insurance. He said americans second and the aly raisman dreamers first. Said americans second and the aly raisman dreamers first. And ask you, as a supporter, and given what you, as a supporter, and given what you have just said, you, as a supporter, and given what you havejust said, where do you, as a supporter, and given what you have just said, where do you draw the lines about his language, for example, his tweeting, and about the way he goes about his business . Are their lines they are, or has he rewritten the rulebook, whereby he effectively can say what he likes . You know, that is a very interesting question. With the tweeting, the only way he has been able to deal with the Mainstream Press which is not his friend is to be able to respond, and people expect that of him. But you know, iasked respond, and people expect that of him. But you know, i asked someone that very question on my programme in chicago, and she said you just dont remember, for example you had lbj, who was very crude, you had harry truman, who used the n word but he was the first person to integrate the military. You even had fdr savings in private which were very crude. What happened out that is an allegation. He may have said it, he may have not said it, but the bottom line is his son said something that was very interesting. His son said that the only colour his father ever saw was green. And for us in the United States, wanting to make our economy better, that is a good colour for to make our economy better, that is a good colourfor us, because that is the colour of money. Coming from opposite sides politically, yet you do agree with some of what she has said, especially when it comes to him getting his people. He gets it when it comes to Blue Collar Workers in the United States, absolutely for sure. Those people love, by the way, him shooting from the hip or shooting from the tweet. He loves that. They love that sort of stuff. But . Anyway, there is not even but here. Politicians dont say what they really feel and believe, most of them in most countries. He has broken the mould and from that point of view he appeals to a really expanding core of blue collar voters, and particularly in the rust belt. Not the east coast, not the we st coa st, belt. Not the east coast, not the west coast, but right at the middle of the United States. However, he is not, quote, residential. Hejust said something that was really. Just one last issue i wanted to ask those of you, if i may. Gary, on the wall, trumps thing is i will say it andi wall, trumps thing is i will say it and i will do it, i am different from all the others. Is the wall going to be a problem . In four yea rs going to be a problem . In four years time, people going to be say you said that . It is not really an important issue, but it may be a symbolic issue, because it is i am going to take action. He said the same thing about obamacare, which he hasnt repealed, nor has he introduced a new one. |j hasnt repealed, nor has he introduced a new one. I am going to talk about that, because actually, in texas, i spoke with someone today who talked about the immense numbers of thousands of Young Children and women who were being human trafficked on this order. You have a terrible situation with crime, with na 1120 terrible situation with crime, with narco trafficking this border. And my mother was a mexican citizen, so and my mother was a mexican citizen, soi and my mother was a mexican citizen, so i have a vested interest in this. Mexico has dropped the ball in dealing with the immense amount of drugs coming across the border, and crime. You cant go across the border like you used to when i was a kid, because so many people are killed. The violence has gone up significantly. You have the ms13 gangs, even in places like chicago and washington, dc, whose rite of passage s assassination. So can we talk about the truth . I mean, why does anybody. Back to the question about the wall, what if the wall isnt built . Well, frankly mexico could fund that if they actual
