Is over, for now at least. It lasted three days and kept hundreds of thousands of federal workers at home today. Its over because the senate has agreed to a short term spending bill. President donald trump has responded to the deal via his press secretary, sarah sanders. Were pleased to see senator schumer accept the deal that President Trump put on the deal from the beginning. A statement from the president of the United States that i quote, im pleased that democrats have come to their senses and are willing to fund oui their senses and are willing to fund our great military, Border Patrol and insurance for vulnerable children. We will work to solve the issue of unfair illegal immigration. We will make a deal if and only if it is good for our country. The democrats agreed to this deal because republicans promised to address a key immigration issue. But the fall out continues about why this shutdown ever happened. Heres the most senior democratic senator blaming the president. The great deal making president sat on the sidelines. Despite and because of this frustration, i have been having conversations with the republican leader over the weekend about a path forward. After several discussions, offers, counter offers, the republican leader and i have come to an arrangement. We will vote today to re open the government, to continue negotiating a global agreement, with the commitment that ifan agreement, with the commitment that if an agreement isnt reached by february 8th, the senate will immediately proceed to consideration of legislation dealing with daca. In this stand off the republicans wanted extra military spending, and money for Donald Trumps wall between mexico and the us. The democrats wanted to deal on the status of young immigrants often called dreamers. A short time ago i asked jane obrien what this deal has changed. Not very much. I think that is the short answer to that. I think it is a question that democrats themselves will be asking. Really what have they come away with . Because at the end of the blame game and there is a lot of blame to go around everybody, what deal have they got that wasnt on the table on friday. They would say they have won a concession from the Senate Majority leader, Mitch Mcconnell that the senate will look at legislation that could give protection to the dreamers, but there is no guarantee. And further more the house has to be party to any legislation Going Forward and there is donald trump who has to sign it. And nobodys really sure what his views on immigration are. We also were listening to the White House Press secretary a few moments ago and when she was pressed on specific issues about this, she seemed to imply that although the democrats would like to talk about the dreamers, the white house is looking at more comprehensive immigration legislation that will be ambitious and full of pit falls. This is the impact the shutdown has had. Over the weekend, some services were affected, including access to National Parks and visitors to the statue of liberty were turned away. Space x had to delay rocket tests because it relies on assistance from the us air force. But today was the real test. You could see the difference on public transport thousands of non essential employees issued a furlough a leave of unpaid absence. In fact the hashtag furloughed was getting heavy use. But because it wasnt prolonged, the cost to workers hasnt been too great. Here is jane on that issue. Here is jane on that issue. The political stakes were high, because when people start losing money, they feel the pain in their pocket, that is when they turn against their representatives and were coming up to the Midterm Election and that is what both parties were worried about. When this happened last in 2013 the government was closed for 16 days and that hurt. To a certain extent the republicans and the democrats have dodged a bullet this time, because two of the three days we re over time, because two of the three days were over the weekend and the government is now starting to re open again on a monday. So the pain has not been that sharp. But had it carried on, then there would have been Serious Problems and i think both parties would have faced far more of a political fallout than they have done so far. Mike pence is in israel. Heres how the Us Ambassador to israel described it usambisrael attending a special session of the knesset today, i was moved to tears as. vp Vice President pence delivered his extraordinary address. Heres some of it. Oi 0 our administration will advance its plan to open an embassy in jerusalem. That will open before the end of next year. Next heres tom bateman. They signed a waver putting off the building ofa they signed a waver putting off the building of a new embassy for another six months, as his predecessor did. So we know more about where the centre of gravity in the United States is. Some in the state department are wary about building a new embassy too quickly. It would be symbolic and it could be a symbol for protest among palestinians. Now we know it will happen by the end of 2019. As for the response, we saw arab members of Israeli Parliament walk out. But the palestinians have called this a gift to extremists, that was the word of their chief negotiatedor negotiator. They believe it reduces the space that the plo has operate in and their president was in brussels trying to drum up support for eu recognition of a state of palestine thatis recognition of a state of palestine that is of coursesoming something we dont have an official word from the eu, other than to repeat their previous position on this. Focus on a woman who made a remarkable protest in tehran in late december. A video of it has been widely shared. This is it. You can see a young woman standing on a grey box shes waving her hijab as as a white flag on the end of a stick. In iran women have to wear the hijab. So this is a radical statement. This is where the protest took place. The name of the street means revolution. And hijabs have been compulsory for women since the 1979 revolution. This appears to have been a protest against that strict dress code. Well as the videos been shared, people have been using the hashtag where is she on twitter. Nahid seif tweet nahidseif says no one knows what happened to the girl who made a flag from her own scarf. No to the mandatory hijab she is symbol of courage artists have been sharing images that have been inspired by the protest. This is one. 0ne user called saina sa iranian women will never stop fighting for their freedom. Well rana rahimpourfrom bbc persian came to see us earlier to say they had more information on this woman and where shes been. Heres what she told me. We dont know her name, but we know she has been arrested. She is 31 yea rs old she has been arrested. She is 31 years old and she has a 19 month old baby a years old and she has a 19 month old babya human years old and she has a 19 month old baby a human rights lawyer, she went to the street which is a very busy down town street and spoke with the residents and talked about what happened on the 27th december. Which happened on the 27th december. Which happened to be a wednesday. And found out that she has been arrested. But that is as much as we know. Why is it significant . It seems to be part of a campaign which started online called white wednesdays and many women were taking pictures of themselves wearing a whitehead scarf taking it off. Taking pictures of themselves and sharing it online. This was the first time that somebody actually did it in public. In a street. Standing fully silent. No conversation. No chanting. No demands, just stand there, offering a white piece of cloth which can be a white piece of cloth which can be a symbol of peace. It is connected to other protests . It is difficult to other protests . It is difficult to say there is necessary lay connection. But the fact that the other protests started the day after that shows that there is discontent throughout the country. What kind of punishment would you get for taking off your hijab like this . Usually you might be put in prison for a few days and you sign a paper and you come out. Because her case has become viral, it has turned into something much bigger than just offending the laws of the country. So i think that there might be more serious punishment against her. Thank you. We will report from venice where some japanese tourists we will report from venice where somejapanese tourists got charged over a thousand euros in a restau ra nt over a thousand euros in a restaurant for a few steaks. A court has heard that a man who drove a van into a crowd of people near a mosque in north london last year wanted to kill as many muslims as possible. He denies murder and attempted murder. Daniel sandford reports. The pandemonium on a summer night in north london after a large box van smashed into a crowd of worshippers at speed, leaving them strewn across the pavement some with life changing injuries. And leaving 51 year old makram ali dead. Today, his family were at Woolwich Crown court to watch as 48 year old darren 0sborne from cardiff went on trial. Jonathan rees qc for the prosecution said 0sborne deliberately drove into a group of muslims, trying to kill as many as possible. The prosecution say darren 0sborne became enraged after a bbc drama about sexual abuse by pakistani men in rochdale, and by the attacks on london and manchester. This is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. The us senate agrees a short term fix on the federal budget to allow government to reopen. More than 400 womens rights campaigners have held demonstrations in nairobi, demanding the implementation of a constitutional requirement that at least one third of kenyan mps should be women. At the moment, only 19 are women. The most active volcano in the philippines, has erupted again. A huge ash cloud shrouded nearby villages in darkness. Officials have now raised the alert level meaning that a hazardous eruption is imminent. Major intervention today from the uks top soldier general sir nick carter has been talking about russia. Hes concerned about large scale military exercises like this one last year several have been right on the border of nato countries. And then there are these long range missiles. Theyve been used by the russians in syria and they have a range of over 1,500km. General sir nick carter thinks this requires a response. This was earlier. I believe our ability to pre empt or respond to these threats will be eroded if we dont match up to them 110w. Eroded if we dont match up to them now. They represent a clear and present danger. Theyre not thousands of miles away, they are 110w thousands of miles away, they are now on europes doorstep. And the character of warfare is making it much harderfor us to recognise character of warfare is making it much harder for us to recognise true intentions and thus distinguish between what is peace and what is war. Serving generals dont normally speak out like this. Its gone down well amongst other senior figures in military circles box 4 im amazed and delighted. It is unusualfor im amazed and delighted. It is unusual for serving chief to even talk about threats when those threats have got serious. But for them to talk about the need for more resources , them to talk about the need for more resources, i havent known that in my 52 years in the navy. It is extraordinary. This is one example of why some have concerns about uk defence spending. The russians have been developing these new armata tanks. Meanwhile this is the british armys challenger 2 its not been modernised for 20 years. And then theres troop numbers. Britains armed forces are now at their smallest since the napoleonic wars. Its gone from 100,000 personnel to 82,000 in the last 7 years. But theres a different angle here. The uk spends more than many other countries nato requires of its members that they spend 2 of gdp on defence. The uk is one of only a few members who do that. It spends 50 billion dollars. Well Deborah Haynes from the times went to watch that speech by general carter earlier and then came to tell us what she made of it ssource this speech says the uk will not be able to respond if threatened and the threat of attack is, it is out there, it is not something that is not going to happen. Isnt it a mistake to see the uk in isolation. In reality it would act with nato . Yes the problem the uk is experiencing is something that is experienced across nato, including the United States. They have talked about how their military capability 01 about how their military capability or their military competitiveness has eroded. Because we have been focussing on countser terrorism operations as opposed to state based threats. Is the answer to russia flexing its muscles, the chinese are spending more for the west to spend more. 0r spending more for the west to spend more. Or should there be diplomacy. Both soft power is not credible u nless both soft power is not credible unless it is backed by hard power. We have seen across nato a reduction in defence spending and a hollowing of capabilities that we had hoped we wouldnt need and now it seems in this time of intensifying threat, those capabilities are necessary. Why do you think this speech was able to go ahead. Talk about the domestic political environment for defence spending. Absolutely. We had a previous defence secretary calmed michael fallon. During his time there was tight control over what there was tight control over what the military chiefs were allowed to say. He left in november under a bit ofa say. He left in november under a bit of a cloud and a new chap called Gavin Williamson is there now and he was confronted with the problem of threats, a defence budget that is insufficient to match the ambition that the government stated. Instead of talking up the spending, he is addressing the deficit. The us senate has agreed a temporary budget to end the government shutdown. Lets see what the markets have made of it. Samira hussain. What tiss news. On all three markets, they ended higher and in fa ct markets, they ended higher and in fact they broke records. Record breaking highs that. Shows that markets are not concerned very much when it comes to some of the political machinations that are happening in washington. What theyre concerned happening in washington. What they re concerned about happening in washington. What theyre concerned about is the impact things have on corporations. This shut down didnt impact corporations. So it didnt filter over into us markets. A quick one thank you. We will talk again tomorrow. The International Monetary fund has upgraded its forecasts for the Global Economy for this this year and next. The International Monetary fund is meeting in davos. 3,000 delegates are going including leaders from business, politics and royalty. All making an appearance. He is a president who has championed america first, challenging the concept of free trade and globalisation. A powerful audience for him, who have paid top dollar to attend. Business leaders including the likes of a chinese entrepreneur, facebook and ibm to name a few. But it is no just about deal making, gender equality isa about deal making, gender equality is a theme, only 21 of delegates are women. There are high profile campaigns nowi are women. There are high profile campaigns now i under way notjust to tackle Sexual Harassment in the work place, but to end unfair pay. Davosis work place, but to end unfair pay. Davos is often criticised as just being a talking shop for the elite. So the big question is can it bring about any lasting change . The International Monetary fund has put its laters report and says there is growth coming. We heard from Christine Lagarde the concerns are will the benefits be shared . There are still too many people left out of recovery and acceleration of growth. In fact about one fifth of emerging and developing countries, one fifth of emerging and developing countries, saw their per capita income decline in 2017. A very big bill in venice for four steaks, a plate of fried fish, water and service four japanese tourists got hit for 1,143 euros thats 1,347 this is the actual bill. This happened in the italian city of venice, in the famous st marks square. They complained about the bill to the police and the mayor of venice says tweet luigibrugnaro if this disgraceful episode is confirmed, well do all we can to punish those responsible. We are forjustice always so is this a frequent problem in venice . Heres Marco Gasparinetti from a venice residents forum. I would say this may happen in many different cities, paris included. There were so many million tourists are there just there were so many million tourists are therejust for a there were so many million tourists are there just for a day. And some cowboys think that these people are kind of meal cows, because they will never come back again and they can bejoe charged. Never come back again and they can be joe charged. Never come back again and they can bejoe charged. 0vercharged. Never come back again and they can be joe charged. Overcharged. The mayor sounds angry. We welcome this change of at lewd. Last year when something happened to british citizens having lunch in a restau ra nt citizens having lunch in a restaurant in venice and they complained in britain, they wrote a letter to the city mayor. We very much welcome the change of attitude and we trust the local police, who is investigating this specific issue. As i said, you would expect to pay more for lunch in st marks square. How does the city decide what an appropriate bill is . No, this is left to the free market. This was not in the st marks. I think there is a misunderstanding, because some people may think this happened close to a restaurant close to st marks square. It was not a restaurant. It was a kind of pub. That is why the price looks stranger. Did these fourjapanese tourists pay . Yes they did. With credit card. But they were not given any receipt which under italian legislation is compulsory. It is fiscal. Can they expect to get their money back . This is the question. I wouldnt be sure about that. Because there is an ongoing investigation, we would trust the local police. Next time, next time, hopefully not, but these things shouldnt happen. But any british citizen who finds a sim
