composition of the newly elected parliament is now clear, and one of the things that stands and is perhaps why we see this happening. the free democrats and the greens are talking to each other, trying to iron out their differences because together they form a large block in parliament. and they hope that that would strengthen their hands in any collective talks. even with mister schultz, social democrats. all with mister lashes, kristian democrats, although he led his party to its worst ever defeat armand lush. it insists it can govern despite coming 2nd. it's not automatically the case that i think party title 2 and a if we can policy they will talk with in the, in the greens made clear yesterday that they want to talk to each other 1st, which i think is fine. but not everyone in lashes governing party is putting on a brave face to see the youth stake prime minister as a suggested the party leaders should take responsibility for the defeat. no such

after the attempted call last tuesday when the political parties came up and demanded that the military be transparent with regard to its investigations with the officers who were allegedly responsible for the attempted coup. now the political parties have been saying for months now that the military needs to be reform, that there needs to be a restructuring of the army. and that is something that the military has rejected that include the prime minister, the prime minister has long to initiative a few months back, saying that the military should be reformed as part of the steps to make sure that students transition to democracy is complete. and that the country is not torn applied between a but by the political parties, or rather by the roof, between the political parties. and the military now dies idea. reform has been strongly rejected by the military. but that's something that the political parties have been repeatedly talking about over the past week. so we have some statements from the military, especially the head of the sovereignty council. abil,

who's also the commander in chief of the army, saying that the army responsible for the cohesion and the unity of the country and it's stability. and that it's political parties. abby has of both parties who are focusing on positions and power and ignoring what the people of them want, which is better economic conditions and better living conditions. so those accusations did not help threaten the relationship between the 2 sides. in fact, we've seen yesterday, the military withdrawing military security from the committee to disband the former regime. that's a committee that was set up following the formation of the transitional government to disband any association or anything related to the regime of the former president bush. you, people on the eastern coast of the island of lapel, may have been ordered to stay in doors the lava from an erupt, volcano and the west approaches the water and releases toxic gas. hundreds of buildings have been destroyed so far on the spanish island since the option began.

and i was very emotional, so i can, i cried. i cried all these to be missing. i cry that i feel most probably look the people who are going for assuming their wife lives, disrupted this driving instructor trying to get fuel to prepare his learners for their driving tests. that's about 56. this is going to between now and next week. really, truly terrified what might happen for these guys. so i've been going around like her list. you can and linda, nothing. an opinion polls suggest that more than 60 percent of the voters feel, the government is mishandling the situation. and some of the messaging for ministers isn't helping the public mood. the only reason that we have an issue, the moment with some petrol stations, not petula, for course, is that people are buying petra and they wouldn't. the most important thing everyone can do is just get back to normal fill that calls up as they normally

would. and not by the actual less they needed. it would seem to be wishful thinking that this crisis is going to go away without government action crisis. what crisis has been the government stance up to now? now it's changing because people don't like being referred to as buyers in a situation such as this, there is a tide of public descent. and so the pressure is on the government as the tension on the for courts increases, some companies have introduced rationing competition measures have been stopped, so the few companies can cooperate on logistics. another move the government has made is to try backing up u. k. tank drivers with foreigners, no longer able to work here because of that short term. these is are available for 5000 foreign truck drivers. it isn't county to work. andrew simmons, which is 0 london. it's a critical week at the u. s. congress for president biden's agenda. and steak is

government funding that will affect millions of american lives. a one trillion dollar infrastructure bill and the $3.00 trillion dollars spending bill plus a potential government shut down at the weeks. and if congress fails to me, the deadline, it will be the 3rd to shut down in 3 years or more and all of this we can cross live to our correspondence, heidi joe caster who joins us from capitol hill. so heidi, this whole lives up to a very busy week in congress, doesn't it? it does indeed, barbara and the clock is ticking, even as the senate has just for now blocked legislation that is intended to avert disaster on 2 front. first, to prevent a government shut down, which would happen on friday, leading to thousands of federal workers going without their paychecks and suspended government programs. and secondly, perhaps even more consequential lee. there is the death feeling that come mid

october without congressional action. the u. s. could in default on its debt, which economists say could throw the country's economy into recession, which would reverberate across global markets. now, members of both parties on capital hill do not want any of those scenarios. but the problem is they cannot agree on how to prevent that from happening. and the bill that democrats crafted, which was just fail to advance in the senate, sought to address both the debt ceiling and the government shut down in one bill. the problem is, republicans have agreed to continue funding the government passed this week. however, they have said they will not help in raising the debt ceiling leading to the failure of this bill to advance. the default means quite simply, the government cannot pay its bills. it means that suddenly the government is presented with unimaginable options. do they tell seniors they won't get their

social security checks or veterans that they won't see their benefits will tell our military, they won't be getting paid. we will not provide republican vote for raising the deadline as we speak, democrats are behind closed doors, assembling and multi trillion dollar, reckless taxing and spending spree. there is no chat. republicans will help left democrats credit limit, so they can immediately steamrolled through a socialist burge the heart families and help john. what this means now is that democrats must scramble and increasingly narrow window to come up with another solution to avert the government shut down. and eventually to avert going, going over the fiscal cliff. but democrats are also bogged down in their own internal conflicts, namely over to spending bills,

the infrastructure bill and social programs bill from the, by the ministration that together total more than 4 trillion dollars, but would deliver on the campaign, promises that bide and many democrats had it campaigned on that includes expanding health care and education, as well as tackling climate change. those bills are able to advance without republican support. however, there are some moderate democrats who are bulking at the price tag and at the tax increases that these bills would require. president biden is of projecting optimism . he says there is still time to go sheet a solution as well as to avert a government shut down and to avoid going over the fiscal cliff. but that is a lot happening. very consequentially, all at the same time here on capitol hill in this game of brinkley ships that both parties are engaged and is making many people very nervous. barbara,

how does your castro with the latest from capitol hill? heidi thank you. was staying in the us, the country has experienced its biggest annual increase in murders, new figure is released by the f. b. i sharp increase in homicides during 2020 and some us cities that reporting their highest murder numbers since records began. john henderson has more from chicago, murders in the us increased by 30 percent last year. that is the largest year over year increase since the f b. i begin compiling an annual report in 1960 law enforcement official say. there are many reasons for it is partly the economic and social stress of the pandemic. an increase in purchases of firearms and possibly a pullback by police after massive protests against them in 2020. those numbers remain well below the highs of the mid 19 ninety's. but the trend continues for 2021, and it is a national trend, not

a regional one. it occurred in all regions of the u. s. there have been record high numbers of murders in major cities, including albuquerque, new mexico, memphis, tennessee, de moines, iowa, and milwaukee, wisconsin, and in pennsylvania, where we've seen 400 murders so far this year. the city is on pace to set a new record for 2021. here in chicago, a 104 people were shot and 19 were killed over the long independence day, weekend in july. so when these numbers are reported for 2021 here and across the country, it is likely that the total murder numbers will be higher saved the children is warning that baby is born in the past year will face almost 7 times the number of scorching heat waves in their lifetimes, as their grandparents. the charity conducted the research with climate scientists and found that newborns will live through more than 2 and a half times the number of droughts. and almost 3 times the number of river floods and crop failures,

talked before how critical it will be from for the future generations on how big of a chunk challenge is. what we want to say with this is that it is not too late, but it is urgent that we collect to be now and that the governments around the world in the countries around the world, as well as the actors stand firm and that commitment to, to to the parents agree mental other climate relation related agreement that we find out to chris, this is the time to act and if we don't the future will be on bearable for children . in many cases of the world, it's famous night life is part of the reason that ben call has been a top tourist destination asia for years. but as timelines government works on bringing international tourists back after the pandemic. her fees are still in place, and bars are still closed. it's gone, hiler has more now from bangkok,

this network of allie's impact pounds. usually the vibrant center of bank are unique style of night life. now its idle and dark. the shutters were pulled down on bars and entertainment venues in the week after the 1st cases of covered 19 in thailand and have stayed down for most of the 18 months that followed. thanks to shut down and curfews. this part of china town is home to a community of trendy small specialty bars. not only do bar owners view the government handling of their industry during the pandemic as a near death blow, but alcohol control loss, pre dating the shut down, have also been working against them. i imagine how come i am embarrassed about your situation by thailand's renown for a great night life. many bars have received a war. why does, in the government support the state laws are supported by big business to maintain the monopoly of voice is not allowed. di bar owners call the laws draconian in

which alco sales are limited to set hours during the day. heavy taxes on imports and unequal laws only allowing large companies to brew beer at this still alcohol. a ban on alcohol, advertising and internet sales are so strictly enforced. bars were fine for posting videos. the cocktail making and menus for drinks delivery. yet large group avoid the band by advertising, mineral, water and soda that they're the same logos as their alcohol products. here's an example of thailand's alcohol control loss. if i were to take a selfie here in this bar and share it on social media, i could be fined up to $1500.00 for indirectly advertising the brands of alcohol behind me. if i own the bar, i can be fined up to $15000.00 and possibly face a year in jail. alcohol control laws have been a contentious subject in thailand, historically, politically connected, conservative and religious groups have worked to keep them strict. an opposition member of parliament, a former bar owner himself, is working to change the laws and save smaller bars and trouble when we open again

and that's always come again there would file highlight is popularly different times we it's not fun anymore. and yet some who support the alcohol log. see, it's also about safety or visitors comp. i think towards safety should be up her id . i think alcohol control is necessary. if we let the alcohol sell us for free and do whatever they want, things will get mercy. once thailand emerges from its locked down, curfews are listed in the night. life is allowed to reopen. it's unclear if will return as it once was, or a watered down version. scott hyler al jazeera banker tech giant facebook says it's pausing plans for the development of a new instagram app for children. the photo sharing platform is owned by facebook and has been heavily criticized over a lack of safety controls for young users. us politicians, and campaigners had urged the company to drop its plans for the new app,
