Brangham in the art of the latest deal to come from capitol hill, a number of President Trumps Top Priorities were cast aside to get enough democratic votes on board. Lisa desjardins reports. Desjardins the massive trilliondollar plus spending deal keeps government funded through the fall and gives this congress its first bipartisan success. Hard work, they promise to positively and meaningfully impact the lives of the men and women we represent. And at the end of the day, this is an agreement that reflects our basic principles, something both democrats and republicans can support. Desjardins President Trump told Bloomberg News hes very happy with the bill. Whats in it . First, what was a Sticking Point security. In the end, the pentagon got a healthy boost of 20 billion. And immigration and Customs Enforcement will see an increase of eight percent, much of that for increased detention beds. The bill also funds ten new immigration judges. But it provides nothing for a President Trump priority the border wall. Despite that loss, Vice President mike pence, speaking on cbs called the deal a bipartisan win. Itll avert a Government Shutdown but more important than that theres going to be a significant increase in military spending. Our armed forces have been hollowed out in recent years by budget cuts. Desjardins outside of defense, and in contrast to President Trumps proposals, few agencies face significant cuts. Some, like the National Institutes of health will get a big lift 2 billion. Plus, there is increased funding to help puerto ricos financial crisis, to fund pell grants year round, expand a Mental Health office and to fight opioid addiction. Also in the bill 2 billion to extend, permanently, Health Benefits for a large group of coal miners and their families. House Speaker Paul Ryan said the bill makes america stronger and safer. But contrast that with republican jim jordan of ohio of the conservative freedom caucus. I think youre gonna see a lot of conservatives be against this plan this week. Why did we last fall do a short term spending bill if we werent going to fight for the things we told voters we were going to fight for . Desjardins white house Spokesman Sean Spicer acknowledged republicans needed democratic votes this is something that required 60 votes in the senate. We couldnt have our entire way on this, but were five months away from having a 2018 budget and i think the president s priorities will be reflected much more in that. Desjardins with the latest stopgap funding measure set to expire on friday, the legislation could see a vote in congress as early as tomorrow two very hot topicsing planned parenthood and sanctuary cities, as they are call, were ignored in this bill. Both keep their current funding for now but expect those fights to heat up again likely as other bills, william. Brangham the democrats are claiming this as a pretty big victory for them. The gop as we saw in your piece, a little bit less so. How do you see this shaking out. The emails came out first from the democrats overnight. And it took a little longer to hear from the republicans. But lets look at the broad priorities what they did here. Republicans made one big tradeoff. They wanted defense spending to go up, they wanted more Border Security spending but not the border wall. For that they trade off a slew of issues that were important to democrats, as we said, puerto rico. But there is a whole other rangee of them including for example the National Endowment for the arts which got a slight increase in this as well. Brangham in the past we have had shutdowns where we came very, very, very close to having a shutdown, this was not the case. The gop seemed to think that they were just going to get blamed if the government shut down and that is why they seemed to have backed off a bit sp. I think that is exctly right. There were republicans talking with us privately last week trying to get reporters in the framework of oh, democrats will be blamed if this shutdown happens am but the thought that they were bringing that up, william, you knew that they were worried they would catch the blame. Part of that because they were blamed the last time that happened because they shut down government over the Affordable Care act in trying to end that. But i think theres also an issue with republicans that they are concerned that some of the issues they feel strongest about do not yet have majority of approval like planned parenthood. Most americans want that to continue to be funded. So if they are willing to shut down government over something that is unpopular, they think that go blow up against them. So they didnt stake those stances in this bill. Brangham you touched on some of the very broad things that were being cut or being supported. But there are some very specific real people that are targeted here. Or benefit here. Tell us about those people. I get to use more graphics. Im excited. Lets talk about the winners here that i found point to the bill you might not hear about otherwise, top of the list are military personal receive a 2. 1 pay rise, they have been fighting for. That is not an enormous pay raise but it more than they had been getting, 1. 6 otherwise. The cities of new york and palm beach have a lot of residents in common, i think often, in winner an summer. One of those is President Trump. And he has been costing millions of dollars to those two cities to try an protect him and protect their residents as he comes. They will receive some 68 million to help pay for that added protection. They are the two largest recipients of that money. And amtrak, people who travel up and down the east coast in particular, amtrak is getting a big funding boost. Now not everyone did all that well. A couple of things that i noticed that did get some cuts, you might not hear about, the coast guard. The u. S. Coast guard will not get as big of a pay raise as the rest of the military and also getting a cut and the u. N. , listen to this, the u. N. Will see some 640 Million Dollars less from the United States in this bill that was passed than last year. That is a lot of money. Brangham indeed, it is. From the outside as an observer, this certainly seemed like a relatively civil process is. With not the usual sort of fighting and recriminations. Is it too much to read into this or do you think it actually could be a change in the tone on capitol hill . I dont think so, actually. I notice when senators and congressmen came back from easter recess there seemed to be less of a personal sense of animosity, that we had had up until that point. And that there had been more of a sense of the political. So i guess to para phrase the godfather, its not personal, its political. It it had been personal. I think thats good for civility, thats good for conversation. But we still have a very large political problem especially for republicans. They still dont have all the votes coalescing to get across the bills that they want. Brangham speaking of those quickly, the healthcare bill what is the likelihood we will see something this week . I think you will talk to amy and tam coming up. I would like to hear what they think. But i think unlakely for now. They do not have the votes. We look ahead, a lot of these are kicked down the can. The white house has been saying tonight they will bring the border wall back up again later this summer. So i think were going to be regurgitating all of these issues again. Republicans will have more and more chances to get their votes. Well see if they do. Brangham news hours lisa desjardins, thank you very much.

One protest in new york city denounced the president s views on immigration. There is fear and anxiety. But what gives me hope and gives me resilience moving forward is that the community is resisting. This is not the way we should operate in the United States and we got to stop. And we are going to push back. And thats why i am excited today and thats why were here marching and being loud and visible. Brangham may day demonstrations also took place around the world.

Still to come on the newshour trumps Controversial White House invitation to the philippines strongman president. Inside the civil war ravaging the worlds newest country. From elementary to high school an investigation into thousands of Sexual Assaults, and much more. Brangham now, the president s weekend phone call with the president of the philippines and the uproar that has ensued. Theres a lot that the president talks to these leaders in private about. Sometimes that kind of diplomacy privately talking about them and building a relationship can achieve results. Brangham the white house defended what it said was a very friendly phone call. On the other end of that call the president of the philippines, rodriguo duterte, a man whos presided over a bloody antidrug crackdown thats killed thousands of people in his country. Also during saturdays conversation was an apparent surprise invitation from President Trump to duterte to visit him in person at the white house. That prompted an outcry from human rights advocates, including the United Nations human rights commissioner. My hope is that the president of the United States will convey this deep sense of alarm about the apparent shirking of the obligations under law. Brangham the scale of the killing in the philippines is enormous. Human rights watch found that over 7,000 people were killed in dutertes First Six Months in office. Duterte has been defiant, and was roundly condemned for comments like this last fall hitler massacred three million jews. Now there is 3 million, what is it, three million drug addicts, there are. Id be happy to slaughter them. Brangham white house officials said the overture part of a wider effort to rally asian leaders against north korea and its missile program. Speaking to a summit of south asian nations just before the phone call with President Trump, duterte appealed to the u. S. To show restraint. I will say ust, mr. President , please see to it that there is no war, because my region will suffer immensely. Brangham poor relations with the Obama White House led duterte to threaten a pivot to warmer relations with china the philippines and china continue to dispute territory in the south china sea, but today, duterte welcomed a Chinese Naval fleet to his countrys shores. As for taking up President Trumps invitation to the white house, duterte played coy, saying he was tied up with a full schedule. For more on President Trumps invitation to president duterte, as well as his relationships with other authoritarian leaders, we turn to david kramer. He served as assistant secretary of state for human rights during the george w. Bush administration, and is now with the Mccain Institute for International Leadership at Arizona State university. Welcome. Thanks. Your first reaction to invitation to president duterte. I think it one thing for the president to have a phone call with president duterte, it needs to be done given the tensions in asia, the problems in north korea, the problems with china. It it is a different matter to embrace duterte and invite him to washington and the white house. I think thats going much too far given the gross humanrights abuses that are occurring in the philippines, with estimates of some 7,000 People Killed since duterte became president if june, a number of victims of extra judicial killings. Brangham we touched a little bit of this in the setup. How much do you hold duterte responsible for those killings . He certainly is not discouraging them, in fact, he is is encouraging them. He is taking credit for some killings including when he was mayor before becoming president. And he is creating an environment in which this kind of action is being encouraged, not just condoned. So i think duterte does deserve a lot of responsibility. It is popular in certain segments, in part because a lot of the people being killed come from poor, impoverished areas and they dont have strong advocates speaking out for them. But there is this concern it could spin out of control and create all sorts of problems. It it already has. 7,000, that is an extraordinary number in such a short period of time. Brangham apparently President Trump did not clear this with the state department before issuing thoo this in invitation, is that unusual. The president of the
