Child to die in u. S. Kis custody this month. This time an 8yearold guatemalaen boy. Customs and Border Protection say he died minutes before midnight Christmas Eve in mexico. The boy apprehended last week with his father first showed signs of illness early monday. He was first diagnosed with a common cold. The government statement says he was found a have a fever held for 90 minutes and released with antibiotics and pain killers. Later that night he was found to be nauseous and vomiting and fell unconscious on his way back to the hospital where ehoowas later pronounced dead. The official cause of death is unknown and the government will conduct a review. Theyve ordered extra medical checks for every child in its custody. And now to the Government Shutdown as President Trump insists there will be no deal unless Congress Agrees to fund his border wall. After a Video Conference with troops, he told reporters he is unwilling to i a cant tell you whether the governments going to be open. I can tell you its not going to be open until we have a wall, a fence, whatever theyd like the call it. Ill call it whatever they want. But its all the same thing. But many of the workers have communicated stay out until you get funding for the wall. These federal workers want the wall. The only one who doesnt want the wall are the democrats. And quote different people from the same white house are saying Different Things about what the president would accept or not accept to end his trump shutdown, making it impossible to know where they stand at any give moment. The president wanted the shutdown but he seems not to know how to get himself out of it. Members of the house and senate will return to capitol hill tomorrow. And capitol hill for the hill, molly cooper. Glad to have you with us. Lets start with members of both the house and senate. Theyre returning to washington tomorrow. Where does the continued Government Shutdown stand . Where are they literally picking off from when they get back to work . Reporter if you look at schumer and pelosis statement, i think the problem democrats and republicans have is they dont really know where the president stands and Senate Majority leader, mitch mcconnell, said saturday were not going to take up any measure until we have one that the house can sign off on and that 60 members of the senate can sign off on and if you look at the republicans continuing to push the president to continue the shutdown, what they want is a full years worth of funding for the wall and that could be 1 1. Billion 7 billions. Thats probably the lowest level they would accept. But its a full years funding for the wall. As it stands the measures they passed originally last week, the socalled continuing resolution would have only funded these Government Agencies that are closed down through february 8th and then the congress would have had to negotiate spending from that point forward. So what they really want is a full years worth of funding to get them through to the next year at which point democrats will be in control of the house and republicans fear theyre not going to get the money they want. But its the full years worth of funding to get from the democrats. The democrats and some of the allies have been putting the blame on nancy pelosi and saying its because the leftleaning wing has held her hostage and not wanting to meet her president. And potentially to secure her speakership comes a new congress. Is she going to have more power or less power to strike a deal and do we move forward on this new issue in the new congress . Once she secure as speakership january 3rd when they organize, i dont think she would sign off on anything close to 5 billion for a wall, but perhaps continuing funding at the 1. 3 billion level, tlarltsz something she might hold her nose and get on board with. And this is what i hear republican and democrat santeres, she cant given in because she needs to get every single vote on the house floor, 218 votes and this is going to be a diverse caucus a diverse democratic caucus. Its going to be fun. Wild times on capitol hill. So she really needs to get her speakership before being able to budge on any of these issues. A few people were saying the chances of gettish anywhere near the number the president and allies want is going out the window. So well see how that plays out. Live for us in washington d. C. Thanks. Thank you. And President Trump cancelled his holiday trip to florida but what is he doing inside the white house remains an open question. He tweeted on Christmas Eve im all alone, poor me, waiting for democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed border security. Earlier writing quote Christmas Eve briefing with my team working on north korea. But a white house nbc noted ive not seen a marine in front of the west wing at all today. Makes me wonder if this photo was taken today or not. They noticed the copy of the previous days New York Times appeared to be on the resolute desk. An hour after that tweeted, i just gave out a 115 mile long contract for another long section of the wall in texas. And they added that trump cannot award Construction Contracts as they award contracts for border wall construction after Congress Approves funding and months have gone into planning. Last month they approved 33 miles of wall in texas and they aunse noed construction will begin in february. Trump elaborated on the claim and tied it to his reelection. Yesterday i gave out 115 miles worth of wall. 115 miles in texas. And its going to be build, hopefully rapidly. Im going there at the end of january for the start of construction. Thats a big stretch. So its all being built the new piece, the new section is very, very exciting. Whats going on there and youll see it because in january im going there. Were almost having a Ground Breaking its such a big section. Its probably the biggest section well get out. So while were fighting over funding, were also building and its my hope to have this done completed all 500 to 550 miles. To have it renovated or brand new by election time. All right. President trump also addressed the north korea situation. Tweeting, quote progress being made. Looking forward to my next summit with chairman kim, exclamation point. That came just after the judge ordered north korea government to pay 500 million for otto warmbie rerks. He returned to the u. S. In a coma and despite trumps claims of progress less than a week ago, north korea announced it wont denuclearize unless the u. S. Does so first. And writing quote saudi arabia has now agreed to spend the necessary money needed to rebuild syria instead of the United States. See, isnt it nice when immensely wealthy countries help rebuild their neighbors, rather than a great country, u. S. That is 5,000 miles away. And good to have you. I see you drew the short end of the stick working today out of london. Why didnt you tell me that we fixed saudi arabia . Why didnt you tell me . You should have called me. Thats amazing. What does that say for the state of President Trumps Foreign Policy when you see he spent his Christmas Holiday working on north korea and syria with the saudis . Reporter saudi arabia was not on any of the call sheets. Its unclear what the president is talking about. Lets back up. Last week we have this earthquake where james mattis was fires and then fired more quickly on the heels of a cong conversation with trump and the turkish president. Basically deciding to withdraw troops from seyria. There is no way saudi arabia is going to pay to rebuild syria. Its some 3 388 billion. Saudi arabia is responsible for famine on a massive scale in places like yemen. So this idea saudi arabia is going to pay to rebuild syria, its crazy when you look that geoo politics involved, when you look at what President Trump has done in the past week when it comes to syria. The other thing worth mentioning when it comes to the situation in and around syria, this is of course all a proxy war between saudi arabia and iran. The United States, as general mattis would say but hasnt publicly yet, abanding its allies and the kurds. Is a massive Foreign Policy shift and something the president has seemingly done on his own after talking to the turkish president. Hard to imagine they would help rebuild syria that is firmly intrencheds with iran and its proxies and russia. Something the saudis have been oposed to. And reported israeli air strikes taken place in syria. A sign that israelis are still very much going to act in that country. Reporter and when you look at what the israelis are interested in. Its iran. You have iran deeply intrenched in syria. Probably the winners of what has been a horrendous conflict in that country. The israelis hitting air stripped in and around damascus. The local reporting from Hezbollah Television station in and there has been a ratcheting of tensions with lebanon. They have been destroying tunnels. This as a Prime Minister that is equally as embattled as President Trump in the United States is fighting for his survival, benjamin netanyahu. Tensions as high in the middle east as you knoand can be at times a powder keg. It seems like were there again and President Trumps random tweet. Were going to talk to you again. Were going to try to get our moneys worth out of you today. Up ahead a mystery case heads to the supreme court. Nbcs Pete Williams has all the details.

So days after a catastrophic tsunami killed people in indonesia, theyre warning of more deadly weather. Huge waves nearly five feet tall crashed into the western coast of java and the Southern Sumatra islands with very little warning. Now theyre bracing for quote more extreme weather and high waves. Theyre warning people to stay away from the coasts. The rough weather around the volcano could inflict more devastation. They used drones and search dogs to look for survivors. 429 have been confirmed dead. At least 154 are still missing and more than 1,400 people were injured in that. Bonny, good to have you with us. What more can you tell us about the very latest weather that it threatened indonesia at this point . Unfortunately this area is known to be volnerable to volcanoes well below the Ocean Surface and that serves up the opportunity for tsunami. Very difficult to detect. Thats why anyone near the coastline has the most vulnerability. And theres that risk for future tsunamis for that area. The day after christmas its been quiet Christmas Eve, christmas day. Still the Beautiful Tree in rockefeller center. But i can tell you things are changing. 19 million amaericans at risk fr Severe Weather in texas. Thats not the only thing we have to deal with. We have the hev a erain here. But get ready for a big winter snow storm and it will feel that way from the Northern Plains further to the south. Well see potential blizzard conditions with blinding blowing and drifting snow. And it does cover a widespread area, well over 1,000 miles. Dangerous situations for a busy travel week. This is the amount of snow were expecting. Well over a foot in parts of south dakota. And by contrast, in advance of this system, our temperatures are so mild into texas in the midsouth in tennessee. At least 10 degrees above normal. By the time we get to friday well see a warmer chicago, cleveland and louisville. If youre wondering are we going to warm up . Not quite. Its going to be cooler as we approach this busy weekend. Only at 33 it degrees. A reminder its going to be turning much colder as we wrap up this year. And a court battle playing out unwashington in unusual secrecy that involves Robert Mueller and a stateowned company. Pete williams explains the mysterious case has made its way to the supreme court. Reporter this mystery presumably involves Robert Muellers investigation based on lawyers including some from his team. The Federal Court House went to unusual lengths to keep it secret, ordering reporters off an entire floor. A Corporation Owned by country a is fighting a grand jury subpoena, arguing its beyond the reach of u. S. Law. But the company, whatever and wherever it is was found in contempt of court for refusing to comply to a subpoena. Chief Justice John Roberts has put everything on hold including the fine he ordered the government to respond. Im more interested in this than most kids are what theyre getting Christmas Morning. The intrigue, the cloak and daggers, the secrecy of the entire case. Reporter said muellers investigation is pointless. Millions and millions of dollars of wasted money. Theres been no collusion. Reporter Robert Mueller must file its response by new years eve and maybe then this mystery will be solved.
