question addiction that white man's clothes on a jazz eda? ah ah ah, ah . the us senate votes the blog can emergency spending bill with the risk of a potential government shut down at the end of the week. ah, you're watching al jazeera alive from me for the actual also coming up germany center, left leader or last shoulder. he wants to form a coalition government with the greens and the liberals after

a narrow election with long queues that filling stations in britain as a shows jeff truck drivers after breakfast, his fuel supply vend triggers, panic by and banks, bars and night. my spend idle, despite the government plan to woo back to ah, the us federal government is facing a potential shut down by the end of the week. republicans in the senate have blocked an emergency spending bill. if congress fails to reach a solution by friday, it will be the 3rd shut down in 3 weeks. it comes that comes in a high stakes week with democrats trying to progress president binding sweeping economic agenda. the republican party has now become the party of default. the party that says america doesn't pay its debts. our country is staring down the

barrel of to totally republican manufacturer disasters. a government shut down and a 1st ever default on the national debt. the impacts of both would gravely harm every single american in this country. i speak to she tansy in washington, d. c. now the clock is ticking. she had this could be the 1st shut down in 3 years . bring us up to speed for us with what's been happening on the senate floor. it's not looking good. the republicans rejected consideration off the bill. the deadline is says, day nights of midnight, the current fiscal year ends the new fiscal year will begin. but without, if there's been as and past the appropriations in the budget to fund the government for the 1st school. yes. so that could be disastrous about where they could be, a government shut down, no money for employing people. so therefore,

all but the central stuff will be followed without pay. and that has a more was ramifications for government agencies for food stamps or the cdc in the centers for disease control. i just saw 62 percent of employees at the cdc. what be further without pay during pandemic during that can make downs and so with enormous consequences, enormous consequences within this bill of not being passed. but there are 2 separate issues as structure was addressed to that. so you have the government shut down, but you also have the issue of the debt ceiling. since 1917, a limit has been agreed upon is negotiated in congress, but it's usually been over formality or technicality on the debt ceiling. now this is, this is the amount of money the government is allowed to borrow, but this is the way to pay if debts it all depends bills. this is the money that has been accruing as a result of government policy over decades. as a result of republican and democrat, them democratic governments, and in fact, us reached that feeling at the end of july. and since august,

the treasury has been tried to pay the bills because i flew bar, i couldn't raise anymore cash on the market it's. it's been trying to get cash by some creative accountant to get a bit of money from here, taking a bit of money from here and you know, drug doing it around. but dollar yet it has said that she can't continue to do this . be on october or november and then the us will simply not be able to pay debt from. now we don't just talking about the federal government steps to its employees, but also servicing as bonds. it's debt from the international market. so you can see that this would have catastrophic catastrophic effects on both the domestic economy, but also potentially the world economy. and how will it affect the buyer and administration's much bigger projects on the horizon? she does also. so the entire binding presidency group has no money. he can't do anything, especially if the government is defaulting them, as long as i can make crisis on on the cards. so it is enormously

enormously serious. however, this is a slightly different issue because by the, by the ministration has tried to deal with bob while also trying to get through its agenda through congress. and there are 2 bills going to call ref, husband some movement in the last the last hour or so on. this issue. the problem is, if we have these factions within the democratic party, as we have this particular this, this particular faction on the extreme right to quite clearly doing the bidding of, i don't, is quite open about it. they get a lot of money from the pharmaceutical industry, from the fossil fuel industry, and they fashioned what they called a bipartisan infrastructure bill, which is within which the climate change isn't, isn't address and is a great deal of potential money though for, for the, for the fossil fuel industry and for other donors, but the proposal is a progressive said look, we don't have a yes on that unless you are also for them eligible. $3.00 trillion dollar bill which has the rest of by the gender which does address climate change, which, which affects the social safety net and so on. but now it seems that the

progressives have been, have will to the little bit. it seems that there will be a votes on the floor of the house on a, on the corporate wing, on the corporate wing wings. bill without though the vote on be $3.00 trillion dollar bill. so that's gonna be really interesting. we have the progressives now given up, are they going to hold firm? we're going to have to see it can be really interesting thursday. thank you. she has she ever times, we live in washington. in other world news, north korea has fired and an identified projectile into the sea of japan. the launch came at the same time as the north korean ambassador to the un told the general assembly that nobody can denied the right to test weapons came so called on the us to give up what he called its hostile policy towards the north. my young if the this was to see the accordion was the most prolonged and long lasting war in board come to an end. and if it is really desirous of a piece of re consolation on the korean peninsula,

they should take the 1st of that, it was a keeping up. it's a hostile policy against the d. p. p. by stopping permanently, the joint military exercises and the deployment of all kinds of strategic weapons which are leveled at the dpr k and onto the korean peninsula. germany central left social democratic party won a narrow lead in sunday's parliamentary elections, party leader or last show the front run to take over his chancellor for if he wants to form a coalition government with the greens and freedom. aquatic party company cane has more from berlin on the complicated process. with a spring in his step full of shots meets the world's media freshman election in which his party took the 1st place. he has no doubt who should lead his country forward. the vote does not, they can very they have said who should form the next government. they have strengthened free parties and social democrats and were free democrat. so that's

a clear mandate from the citizens of this country and that these 3 should lead the next government would get a 3 party coalition has never been tried at the federal level, but with barely more than one percent of the vote separating the 2 main parties and neither wanting to govern in a grand coalition with each other again. now the attention is on the smaller parties. also, folks, by the time the 2 big parties have suffered heavy losses in recent years. and there needs to be a new push that comes into the government. so it's good that all the parties are talking to each other and not waiting to just be invited info to talk. the composition of the newly elected parliament is now clear, and one of the things that stands out and is perhaps why we see this happening. the free democrats and the greens are talking to each other, trying to ionize their differences because together they form a large block in parliament. they hope for that which strengthen their hands in any collective talks. even with mister shult, social democrats, all with mister lush,

it's christie and democrats. although he led his party to its worst ever deceit. aman lash, it insists it can govern despite coming 2nd. it's not automatically the case that either a big party title turned a party. they will talk with in the, in the greens made clear yesterday you weren't 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 use. think prime minister as a suggested the party leaders should take responsibility for the defeat. no such thoughts over at social democrat headquarters. this is their 1st federal election when in almost 20 years. and soon they hope all of shots will replace angle america less chancellor. dominant cane al jazeera fooling. protests are expected in sudan is sanctioned deep in between the military and civilian factions of the transitional government. it was created under a power sharing deal to oversee the countries moved to democracy by protesters say

they want the administration dissolved, accusing the military of trying to seize power. the armed forces are accused of civilian politicians are failing to govern properly, their relationships when further strain since last week's attempted calls. the u. k . government says it's working to ensure your supply issues are resolved after days of long queues at petrol stations with many force to close their reports. the army may be brought in to drive time because because of a shortage of drivers under simmons. 3 for some london, a new working weekend. this isn't the normal london morning. good luck. the fuel station here ran dry 2 days ago. it's been waiting for this moment. tanka drivers are in short supply not the fuel, whatever the results, the same misery for some not kind of buying ada bob up top. she ran out of fuel 100 meters from the petro pumps. after a search that started in the early hours. and i was very emotional, so i can,

i cried. i cried all these to be missing. i cry that i feel once and probably look the people who are going for 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 kind of between now and next week. really, truly terrified what might happen with them for these guys. so i've been going around like a list you can and linda, nothing. an opinion polls suggests 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 petro. they wouldn't, the most important thing everyone can do is just get back to normal,

fill that cause up as they normally would and not by the actual if 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 a 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 fuel but his can corporate own 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. phil ahead on al jazeera, why economists in chile think plans to allow people to withdraw cash from their

. she's joining advice from washington. thank you very much, tina for being with us. i want to ask you 1st, what your reaction to this decision is to do this verdict? well, i'll be honest. didn't say, i think this was supposed to happen a long time ago, and our survivors still the same. so we're very happy with the burdick and i really help the other states that he's also going to get charged have charges been also does the same as you say, many people expected this to happen a long time ago. and what is interesting with this case is that for decades, they've been investigative reporting about r kelly and the allegations that he sexually abuse teenage girls. but he seemed immune untouchable almost. and he took a television documentary series or something to happen. why do you think that is, every one i think knew about r kelly and lia the thing is why did it take so long to come to this conviction

today who was protected him? well, you know, thank you for mentioning that because you're right, right. i will say that he was definitely protected, the boys and girls that he did, you know, sale and right. and i was say because he was protected by not always, right. everybody around him, producers. the music industry is. so everyone knew this is going on and they protected him so it didn't stop it increase. and so how prevalent is this in the music industry in the us? how widespread is this? i mean, as you say, the music industry protected him. is it a common? is it widespread? well, i'm going to tell you exactly what r kelly did is call trafficking sex trafficking. and that's is that lee? how myself and all of our youth, we're actually sure it right and forced into sex trafficking. so that that being

said, yes, that happens all the time. unfortunately, having the same way, right? we would say somebody on the street who has an r, kelly, would go immediately to jail, but it usually does take years. and that's because we don't believe the victim to what needs to happen. you thing to protect women and other young girls. so i think, you know, we work with girls and boys and he traffic girls and boys that stood up and said something. so i really think, yeah, he's getting time. where have you heard anything about the man who purchased that from the boys and girls? nothing that what usually happens, right? we're not getting them as well. so it continued. so all of those men, all those producers that he so those children to get no time. so what happens is right, this continues on because without supply,

there is no demand. so we also have to go out to the buyers and everyone that was why thank you so much tina, for talking to us about this tina from joining us there from washington. thank you for your time. you're welcome. people on the eastern coast of la palm, i have been ordered to stay indoors as lava from an erupt in volcano approaches the water and release his toxic gas. hundreds of buildings on the spanish island have been destroyed and thousands have been forced to leave their homes. nicholas hark report, come awake. again. it seems there is no stopping spain scoop review hovel cannick flo. earlier the giant crater fell silent, leaving an eerie comb in what were once lively coastal villages. it has caused so much destruction homes and memories of generations of families living on the volcanoes foothill charge by the swelling and pouring lava as it inches towards the

$45000000000.00 and pension withdrawals. one more if approved, could put the final nail in their coffins. most orderly, julian said they'd rather have money in their pocket today, regardless of what it will mean for their pensions tomorrow. but there's another more immediate problem. having too much money in circulation is not always a good thing because it can provoke something that spark sphere in the hearts of everyone. that is installations. something that truly has been able to avoid, at least until now. but the coastal withdrawals from pension funds has contributed to a massive increase in consumption in this country of everything you can imagine from cars to knickknacks like this. and that has increased inflation from 3 to 6 percent this year alone via some economic analysts believe upcoming election. so the reason why politicians are nevertheless contemplating yet another withdraw doesn't make

any sense from an economic point of view. it's a bad public policy. it doesn't make any sense from a public policy point of view about having almost no retirement savings left. you mean a good deal as consoles herself by saying she couldn't have survived on her pension any way to see in human al jazeera santiago, phobia and troops and tanks through the order with causal as a round over license plate for escalate ethnic serbs living in northern close of all have been protesting by blocking road laughter. coast of a band, the entry of cars with a nice and trace habeas fraser in face. he considers the decision by close of the criminal action is demanding possible. remove all his special police forces before so shooting to resolve to destroy us present. joe biden has received a both shots for the 5 coffee, 900 vaccine, federal regulators approved

but alcohol control loss, pre dating the shut down, have also been working against them. i am at his house, i'm tired. i am embarrassed about the situation. thailand is renowned for his great night life, many bars he received awards. why does in the government support the industry? i think these strange laws are supported by big business to maintain them monopoly . our voice is not loud like death. bar owners call the laws draconian in which alcohol sales are limited to set hours during the day. heavy taxes on imports and unequal laws only allowing large companies to brew beer at is still alcohol. a ban on alcohol, advertising and internet sales are so strictly enforced. bars were fine for posting videos of cocktail making and menus for drinks. delivery. yet large bruise 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 laws. 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 faith 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 and opposition. member of parliament, a former bar owner himself, is working to change the laws and save smaller bars and trouble when really open again. and that's always come again there would file highlight is popularly different times. we really, it's not fun anymore. and yet some who support the alcohol. i'll say it's also about safety for visitors. i think to safety should be a priority. 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, either al jazeera banker, jan's been a russian opposition activists. mary, a class ne cova has won europe's top human rights award. the 39 year old activists was sentenced to 11 years in prison earlier this month over her role in last year's math demonstrations against president alexander lucas shanker. europe spot of entry assembly said this covers only crime was wanting to have a say in who is in charge of our country. ah, so again, i'm fully valuable with the headlines on 0. the u. s. federal government is facing another shut down by the end of the week. republicans in the senate have just blocked an emergency spending bill. congress has until friday to find a solution she ever tansy has more.
