The U.S. federal government has begun a partial shutdown after the Senate failed to reach

a deal over a spending bill,... that includes funding for a wall on the border with Mexico.

The government's main functions won't be affected, but some federal employees will be put on

leave.

President Trump wants some 5 billion dollars for the wall... out of a budget worth more

than 4 trillion.

Both he and the Democrats are digging in.

Kim Min-ji reports.

The U.S. government has entered a partial shutdown after the Senate failed to break

a budget impasse.

The Senate adjourned late Friday without passing the spending bill to fund the government through

early February.

The sticking point was the 5-point-7 billion U.S. dollars set aside to fund President Donald

Trump's plans to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

With the midnight deadline expiring with no deal -- funding for a quarter of all U.S.

federal agencies expired -- meaning some hundreds of thousands of federal employees will have

to work unpaid or be put on temporary leave.

President Trump said there was nothing he can do about the government shutdown because

he needs cooperation from the Democrats.

"Let's get out, let's work together, let's be bipartisan, and let's get it done.

The shutdown hopefully won't last long."

The Democrats have been strongly against the idea -- and are resolute that U.S. taxpayers

should not fund the president's plan.

"You will not get your wall.

Abandon your shutdown strategy.

You're not getting your wall today, next week, or on January 3 when Democrats take

control of the House."

The House on Thursday approved the spending bill,... but it hit a stumbling block in the

Senate -- where 60 votes are needed to pass the bill.

The Republicans have only 51 seats.

Talks between White House officials and Republican and Democrat leaders are expected to continue

over the weekend.

But the shutdown is expected to limited immediate impact as it falls on an extended holiday

weekend.

The midnight closure is the third shutdown so far this year.
