a 1st ever default on the national debt. the impacts of both would gravely harm every single american in this country. shabba towns has more now from washington, dc. the deadline is thursday nights of midnight, the current fiscal year ends the new fiscal year will begin. but without, if this been as and past the appropriations in the budget to fund the government for the 1st school. yes. so that could be disasters about where they could be a government shut down, no money for employing people. so therefore, are all but the central stuff will be followed without pay and that has more was ramifications for government agencies for food stamps, for the cdc, the centers for disease control, i just saw 62 percent of employees at the cdc. what be further without pay during a pandemic during that can mac downtown, so you have the government shut down, but you also have the issue of 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 in fact us reach that, that feeling at the end of july and since august, the treasury has been tried to pay the bills because as lou called bar, i can't raise anymore cash on the market it's. it's been trying to get cashed by some creative accounting. can i get a bit of money from here taking a bit of money from here and juggling it around, but done it yet. it has said that she can't continue to do this beyond all terrible events, and then the u. s. will simply not be able to pay steps. now, we're not just talking about the federal government's depths to its employees, but also servicing as bonds. it's debt from the international market, so you can see that this would have catastrophic kind of stuffing effects on both the domestic economy, but also potentially the world economy. north korea has fired and identified project all into the sea of japan. it happened around the same time when the north korean ambassador to the un was telling the general assembly that nobody can deny

it. the right to test weapons comes on cold on the us to give off the hostile policy with no money. if the us was to see the accordion was the most prolonged and long lasting war in the 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 step 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 santa left social democratic party hopes to form a coalition government off and narrow wind in sundays, parliamentary elections, party leader all have shown whose frontrunner to replace uncle merkel as chancellor will think to read to deal with the greens and with the liberal, free democratic party the complicated talks lie,

head is dom that came reports from berlin. with the springs that fall off, shots meets the world's media freshman election in which his party took 1st place. he has no doubt who should lead his country forward. the vote. they can vary. they have said who should form the next government. they have strengthened free parties, isolation, democrats, and were free democrat. so that's a clear mandate from the citizens of this country 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, 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 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 mr. shult social democrats, all with mr. lashes, kristian democrats, although he led his party to its worst ever defeat almond lush. it insists it can govern despite coming 2nd. it's not automatically the case that either a big party title to and a party 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 suggested the party leaders should take responsibility for the defeat. no such thought 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. as chancellor. dominant cane al jazeera berlin, british soldiers are on standby to help is few shortages. the crisis has been caused by a lack of truck drivers and its being made worse by panic. buying on the tank a drive is may be deployed to deliver fuel if needed, as your simmons reports for 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 a to buy the top g 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,

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 buyers. in a situation such as this, there is a tide of public defense. 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 that few companies 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 funerals have been held for some of the 34 people killed in 2 separate attacks in northern nigeria. 7 others were injured when the villages and

the me. what's your reminder of our top story is this all the u. s. federal government is facing a potential shut down by the end of the week. publicans in the senate have blocked an emergency spending bill. congress passed friday to find a solution for korea's ambassador to the un has told the general assembly that nobody can deny it. the right to test weapons, kim on comments came just off the no 5 and an identified projectile into the germany fed last social democrats and same victory, southern federal election policies. rita says he's ready for coalition with the green ad free democratic trinity is foreign minister has told the un general assembly that president case i e, new decrease on necessary for the country security. as the days of demonstrations

continuing the capital against the president, seizure of power in july. the critics of coal that's equal to 19, honestly that you've been indonesia, we started building or capacities based on hope hope for a genuine and peaceful democracy. one that lives up to the will of the division people alone and their legitimate aspirations to assist them that protect their sovereignty, ride without freedoms and dignity, the dangerous situation threatening our country and community is attributed to a deeply rooted political polarization and socio economic and health crisis, this is why his excellency, the president of the republic, mister sy, it had to interfere and take a few years of exceptional resolutions and measures based on the constitution to put the country back on the right path towards democracy. which is the, one of the tradition people, one of them at the american james base has worn out from the united nations. a very

important, i think, moment for this speech and the backdrop. a very troubling speech for the government in tennessee, or at least for the president with those large protests. as you're aware in july, the president said, the prime minister suspended the parliament. and since then, he's also in recent days, said he's going to rule bite decree. well, that was explained for us by mr. often, the follow up mr. ben jones, the foreign minister, he said it was a dangerous situation to hear was facing. he said there was the polarization and there's a so that he cannot crisis. he said that the actions by the president were the ones he was forced to take. he says they were exceptional and he said they would put the country back on the right track. and then i think the important bit, he said that democracy still was the irreversible option. although the reality is it has been reversed at least for now, because a real angle in to this year on the ground. they've been protests in the last 24

hours or so on the streets of tunis. we reckoned somewhere between 2000 and the $3500.00 protest is that on the street. that's the biggest protest. since banashali, the former dictator was ousted back in 2011. and it's worth reminding viewers that when he 1st suspended parts of the constitution back in july, there was quite a lot of people who were supportive of this plan to root out corruption. but it's clear sentiment, public sentiment on the streets so choose, have changed in the intervening to months. and people now finding the situation intolerable. i think that democracy is being subverted in this way. the constitution big subverted in this way. because remember, after the overthrow of finale 2011, that was a long period long drawn out painstaking negotiations trying to revolt every part of june in society to build this new constitution. a constitution that is now

a 3rd dose of the job. americans over the age of 65 and for adults with underlying health conditions. president biden is 78 adults who work in high risk and institutional health settings also qualify for the booster white house correspondent, kimberly hawk. it has more you have to remember that 3 months ago. this was a country that looks like it was turning the corner on the cobra pandemic. that's no longer the case. and so the reason that the president decided to have his booster shot on camera according to the widest press secretary jen. saki is that, in fact, she said that the president wanted to demonstrate to those americans that are still reluctant, but not only as a booster necessary in some cases, but that is safe. and so the us president that he got, that booster continued to talk to reporters throughout showing he had no adverse reaction, something that those that are afraid or reticent about getting maybe have some

reservations about. so this was the president putting his money where his, his mouth is, if you will. the problem for the president is that there still is a lot of division in the united states about the vaccine, a lot of concern that there could be adverse reactions. and so what we've seen is, in states where there are low vaccination rates, there are high rates of hospitalizations that even depths in fact, globally the united states leads in both of those categories. so the u. s. president is pushing hard, not just because he's concerned about people's health, but he also made this a priority of his presidency. and right now he is not feeling that he's able to deliver. so that's why he's making yet another push. he spoke about this last week to the american public, and this time he not only reminded people that he believed they need this booster in some cases. but he actually got it on camera himself. to lions have been allowed

to draw from their retirement funds to help them get through the pandemic. now, congress is said to vote on a controversial 4th withdrawal. it's being popular with voters, but economists want to could destroy the pension scheme and fan inflation within human reports from santiago. so it was supposed to be an exception. a law passed to allow julians to dip into their pension savings just once to offset pandemic, hardships within a year later. 67 year old guillermina perez is hoping the congress will approve a 4th withdrawal of 10 percent of her remaining savings, which are now practically gone and focusing number 11. and if it weren't for the pension, with the roles, i couldn't have paid the rent. and it's been my salvation after more than 40 years of working in the health sector, you mean it would be us retired, but you'd never know what she says, it's impossible to survive or 180 dollar a month pension. so she works 5 days a week as

a podiatrist to make ends meet chiles, private pension funds, or a m p. 's are widely unpopular, but they're also key for maintaining large capital markets. and therefore, financial stability form a central bank director of the legal than god says the withdrawals are a terrible idea. so mortgages and now more expensive ob, long term funding for medium sized companies have become more difficult. even funding for government bonds, long term government bonds in local currency is more expensive now and this is very much related to these withdrawals. the 8th piece have lost over $45000000000.00 in pension withdrawals. one more if approved could put the final nail in there. coffin most orderly gillian,

say they'd rather have money in their pocket to day, 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 and 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 or via some economic analysts believe upcoming election. so the reason why politicians are nevertheless contemplating yes, another withdrawal 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 of as consoles herself by saying she couldn't have survived on her pension any way to see in human al jazeera santiago, the social networking giant instagram is putting a kids version of its popular app on hold. is to grab is owned by facebook and us politicians. and campaigners who urge the companies drop. it's time for instagram, kids, critics. a facebook and instagram's primary focus is on physical appearance. these pan forms haven't done enough to protect children. josh golden is executive director of fair play for kids. he welcomes instagram's decision that says the company needs to do much more to keep kids safe. this was a platform where kids upload pictures of themselves, often pictures that have been altered in order to get their friends and other people to rate what they look like in those pictures. this is a platform that runs on fomo on fear of missing out that,

that where people cultivate their best lives. and in that way, the people feeling bad about themselves when they see these curated lives online. there is no way to make that safer. 8, your goals or 9 year olds are appropriate for them. so really the safest instagram for children is no instagram at all. i think that there are already millions of kids on the adult version of instagram who have lied their way onto the platform who are not 13 and shouldn't be there. and what facebook needs to be doing is doing a much better job of closing those children's accounts. and of educating parents that instagram is really not a platform for under 13, and that they don't want those kids there. what we know from child development is that those kids who are already lying their way onto instagram, those 1011, and 12 year olds. they're not going to want to be on the platform that they consider to be baby childs version of instagram. but real audience for this is going to be kids who don't yet have their, their own instagram accounts. so i don't buy that. this is about safety for 11 and 12 year olds. i think if it's the grand is really concerned about those 11 and 12

year old. they should be doing a heck of a lot more to keep them off than the adult version of instagram and. and as i said, i believe creating a kids version of instagram is only going to create and book a whole new generation of users and won't do anything to keep the kids who are already on instagram safer. the me well did there, and these are the top stories. the u. s. federal government is facing another shot down by the end of the week. republicans in the senate have just talked in emergency spending bill congress has until friday to find a solution. shepherd housing has more from washington dc. this isn't just about paying federal employees and food stamps. this is also the entire government.
