US Government shutdown breaks record, with no end in sight

A sign that reads "Federal employees all day happy hour" is displayed at a local bar as the partial US government shutdown enters its third week in Washington, US.

A partial US government shutdown over President Donald Trump’s demand for $5.7 billion to build a wall along the US -Mexico border entered its 22nd day on Saturday, making it the longest shuttering of federal agencies in US history, with no end in sight.

Trump, holed up in the White House with Congress adjourned for the weekend, warned of a much lengthier impasse and blamed the Democrats.
