The shutdown, Pompeo's MidEast tour, DR Congo election results and Yellow Vests

Description

As the US nears its historically longest Government shutdown, this Friday 800 thousand federal workers miss out on their first pay day.

We also look at the locally-contested DRC election result and populist support from abroad for the Yellow Vest movement.
