SEN.
JOHN THUNE (R-SD): This is the# fourth week of the Democrat shutdown,## but we are all here today because your# Republican team in the Senate is unified.
AMNA NAWAZ: Speaking during a lunch at the# White House, Senate Majority Leader John Thune## urged Democrats to -- quote -- "get wise.
"# And President Trump also gave no ground,## saying -- quote -- "We will not be extorted."
Democrats are firing back, with Senate Minority## Leader Chuck Schumer calling# on Republicans to negotiate.
SEN.
CHUCK SCHUMER (D-NY): Later# to them means never.
We have to## get them to the table and negotiate with us now.
AMNA NAWAZ: Schumer also told reporters# that he and Democratic leadership had## asked President Trump today to# meet with them.
That comes after## the Senate failed for the 11th time# to pass a funding bill on Monday.
North Carolina's State Senate approved a# new congressional map that will likely help## Republicans win an extra seat in Congress# in next year's midterm elections.
The## state's House is expected to approve the plan# later this week.
North Carolina has a pretty## evenly split electorate, but Republicans# control both chambers of the legislature.
And by law, the Democratic governor can't veto# the plan.
The state's Republican Senate leader## celebrated the new map, posting an image# of himself next to one of President Trump.## Democrats say the move is a power grab,## with protesters rallying outside# the Capitol Building earlier today.
In France, the Paris prosecutor says the# jewels stolen in the dramatic heist at the## Louvre this past weekend are worth an# estimated $102 million.
Officials say## 100 investigators are looking into how thieves# managed to break into the world-famous museum## and make off with the jewels, which also# hold tremendous historic value to France.
Culture Rachida Dati told lawmakers today# that an investigation will provide full## transparency on the incident.
But she was shouted## down when she claimed that the security# system worked properly during the heist.
RACHIDA DATI, French Minister of Culture (through# translator): What happened on Sunday at the museum## is a wound, and it's a wound for all of us.
I also# want to reestablish some truths.
Did the .. security measures fail?
No, they didn't.
It's# a fact.
The museum's security measures worked.
(SHOUTING) AMNA NAWAZ: The French interior minister# says police officers arrived on site within## two or three minutes after they were# alerted to a break-in by a witness,## but not before the thieves took off with eight# historic objects from the Louvre's Apollo Gallery.
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy# reported to prison today to begin## serving a five-year sentence.
Backed by his# supporters and walking alongside his wife,## the former conservative leader departed for La# Sante prison in Paris.
Sarkozy was convicted## of criminal conspiracy last month for financing# his 2007 election campaign with funds from Libya.
He is the first former leader of France to# be imprisoned since the aftermath of World## War two.
Known as a tough-on-crime president,# Sarkozy posted a statement online saying he's## an innocent man.
His lawyers have# called for his immediate release.
Japan's parliament elected Sanae Takaichi as# the country's first female prime minister today.
(APPLAUSE) AMNA NAWAZ: The 64-year-old is an ultra# conservative who supports male.. succession and opposes same-sex marriage.# Takaichi is known to admire the former## British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and# is a protege of the late Japanese leader Shinzo## Abe.
She's also a heavy metal fan and has told# Japanese media that she drums to relieve stress.
Takaichi enters office with a divided# government at home and military and## economic challenges abroad.
She's due# to meet President Trump next week.
India's capital of New Delhi was blanketed# in smog today as millions celebrate Diwali,## the Hindu Festival of Lights.
Last night,# fireworks lit up the city and surrounding## areas as revelers marked the occasion.
A recent# Supreme Court ruling that relaxed a ban on## firecrackers added to the festive atmosphere,# but also sent more pollutants into the air.
By this morning, the air quality index# in several neighborhoods had climbed to## severe levels, meaning it was dangerous# to breathe.
New Delhi routinely ranks## among the world's most polluted# cities during the winter season.
Back in this country, Warner Bros.
Discovery# says it's open to selling whole or part of its## business.
The entertainment giant behind# the likes of HBO Max and CNN announced## today that it had received interest from# multiple parties, but did not reveal any## further details.
Shares of the company# surge nearly 11 percent after the news.
Elsewhere on Wall Street, stocks ended# mixed, as investors braced for a flood## of corporate earnings.
The Dow Jones# industrial average added more than 200## points.
The Nasdaq slipped by 36 points.# The S&P 500 ended the day virtually flat.
Still to come on the "News Hour": the# tightening New Jersey governor's race## and its political implications nationwide;# we speak to the family of a Palestinian## leader who remains imprisoned despite the# cease-fire deal; and former White House## Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre discusses# her new book on becoming an independent.
