i talk to you in more independence. how does it tell the story, the complex relationships that sparked creative, brilliant mitchell, e. b, a zones north africa on al jazeera. ah, there's a potential government shutdown in the us. off the senate republican loc as spending bill just days before a deadline to get the phone a l . this is there a lot from. also coming up, the british army is put on standby to help with a nationwide fuel shortage. that's led to panic. buying an empty pumps. american singer all county is found guilty of sex trafficking. he's accused of using his style, them to new women and under age girls. and instagram is accused of not doing enough

to protect children despite putting a kids version of an app on hold. i the u. s. federal government is facing a potential shut down by the end of the week. republicans in the senate have blocked an emergency spending bill of congress fails to reach a solution by friday. it will be the 3rd shot down in 3 years. it comes in a high stakes week with democrats trying to progress president biden 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. share baton 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 there's been as and past the appropriations in the budget to fund the government for the 1st school. yes, that could be dissolved. so that's why 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 of a cdc. you might be further without pay during a pandemic during an economic downturn. so you have the government shut down, but then 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, for 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 couldn't raise anymore cash on the market. it's. it's been trying to get cash by some creative account to get a bit of money from here, taking a bit of money from here and you know, juggling it around, but done it yet. it has said that she can't continue to do this beyond all over all of them, but, and then the u. s. will simply not be able to pay steps. now we're not just talking about the federal government steps to its employees, but also servicing its bonds. its debts in 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. the u. s. has condemned a short range missiles passed, carried out by north korea as a threat to the international community. shortly after the missile was 5 pm gangs of basset to the un,

told the general assembly that nobody can deny it. the right to test weapons came thong cold on the us to give up its hostile policy with the north. my number. if the us was to see the accordion war, 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 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 those pro, teacher rappers which are leveled at the dpr k and onto the korean peninsula. dozens of british soldiers are on stand by help if you shortage problems. the government says is working to ensure the supply issues are resolved on days of long queues that petrol stations with many force to close army tank drivers may be deployed to deliver fuel if needed. and your sentence reports from 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 back 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 necessary. i cry that i feel. once the 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. about 56, this is coming up between now and next week. really slowly terrified what might happen with them. are 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 from ministers isn't helping the public mood. the only reason that we have an issue at 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. feel that caught 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 defense. and so the pressure is on the government as the tension on the for courts increases. some companies have introduce 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 brett's it . short term. these is are available for 5000 foreign truck drivers. it isn't county to work. andrew simmons, which is 0 london with home ready is a lori driver and the transport consultant at green candle traction. he says the u . k is temporary visa scheme as an option, but it's not enough. we've always had an aging generation of truck drivers in this country. the, the younger demographic on taking up the positions because it's not particularly appealing in terms of the working hours. and the poor conditions pay does pay play a part in it, but it's not the whole story. we do expect a lot from our much on the u. k. and we need to start looking at the overall structure of the role and structure of the industry. see, because otherwise, if nothing changes, there's not going to be a future for truck drivers in the u. k. it's not

a job. people want to do in the 21st century. it's a difficult situation, but the writing has been on the wall for the transfer industry for the 1015 years or more of the shortage. the go, the build up the brackets, it again, that was we could see what was coming around the corner. and the industry had been quite vocal in what they were concerned about. and now we're seeing very, very acute effects. the, the storm if you like. and with the situation, there's no easy way out and there's no quick fix and what we're doing now in terms of the measures taken the visa situation, talk of the armed forces supporting. it's all very, very questionable about where we go from here. 70 santa left social democratic party hopes to form a coalition government off a narrow when sunday's parliamentary elections. party leader whole shoulds who is front front to replace on lemma. as chancellor will seek to reach a deal with the greens and with the liberal, free democratic party, the complicated talks lie head. somebody came reports from where the springs that

fall off shots meets the world's media fresh from an election in which his party took the 1st place. he has no doubt who should lead his country forward. the vote is they can very good. 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 this, that these very should lead the next governance. 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 because the folks part 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 in for the talk. the

composition of the newly elected parliament is now clear, and one of the things was found 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. either with mister schultz, social democrats, or with mister lashes, kristian democrats. although he led his party to its worst ever defeat armand lash, it insists it can govern despite coming 2nd. it's not automatically the case that either a big party title with your 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 to you stake 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 berlin. cara love omen is a electra in international politics at the university of warwick. he thinks the coalition of sholtes is proposing will be well received by the e. u and western allies. what is interesting is that one of the charges against anglo america was that she was an effective crisis manager in the various crises. you know, a crisis week that crisis migration course, but she never formulated a vision for europe. she never for minute a response for from a call vision over as strategic europe, europe, the enjoy strategic autonomy. and there, i think a government potentially led by charlottesville, formerly more responsive, more of a positive reaction to des ideas, i think all of shows is sending very strong signal for stability for

continuity. and when we think that european integration of the partnership with france and germany wrote to you on the one side and transit and relations, the close alliance with united states and nature are really the 2 core pillars of german pose for foreign and security policy. that all of the parties that are now thinking about forming a coalition to greens and d, f d p and it's pretty $400.00 mentally support. and i think this is a, a reassuring signal in a row coming signal to capital flight period in washington in particular, in the far left the very far that the lincoln has no chance of being included in any government charged and barely made it interpret, given parliament at all this time around the still ahead on desert willow. why the moderation, the u. s. has had its biggest jump in 60 years in bangkok,

balls and night. and i spend idle despite the government plans to move back. ah, it's another beautiful sunny day at 35000 feet. the weather sponsored by cattle airways booted world's best airline of 2021. it's the season we're winds this time these and make it different. particularly shamal, a strong one, both dancer, the girlfriends dying down for tuesday. for the gulf states, you can see the remains of it's just he and the empty quarter of the orange is the lifted dust. and the strength of the window is allow the edge of them on to enough die down to as well. so you'll see opening up skies here. there is significant was look at not so much indo hallway. the shema returns on friday as the heat rises to $42.00 again, but probably southern pakistan here, the edge affects the mountain is still there. in fact, we might even find the tropical circulations coming out a good you're at towards karachi during wednesday. beyond that is fairly dry. as

china i think is a top priority. this is a short term, cyclical problem, and we have to also look at it in the longer term context that china is moving towards carbon neutrality. and this is playing a role in this as it strengthens emission standards, it looks to reduce the energy intensity of producing one unit of g d p. so this is certainly playing a role. but i think if we look at the curb at hand jamming, we can glean some insights here as to how things would proceed in that what china has done is put human life 1st. and of course this is brought some economic cost and inconvenience, but that this shows i think the priorities of the government and we'll see something similar. ready here that the priorities, making sure that people are able to stay safe,

to stay warm and then to mitigate as much as possible, the short term disruptions. guineas, dentist says its members will not be allowed to run the national and local elections. a transitional council will decide when the poll will be held. the charter of transition stipulates that military leader, mama, a boy will be president, and the government will be composed of a civilian prime minister and cabot. william boyer has been under pressure to hold elections after the military coup on september. the 5th united states has experienced its biggest annual increase in med, is new figures reduced by the f. b. i show a sharp rise in homicides during 2020 and some us, if he's reporting the highest mode and this is record again. john henry has more from chicago's 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 this. 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 in 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 hire us president joe biden has

received a booster shot of the pfizer cove at 19 vaccine. federal regulations have approved 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. the social networking giant instagram is putting a kids version of its popular app on hold. instagram is owned by facebook and us politicians. and campaign is the urge the company to drop its plans for instagram, kids, critic, se facebook and instagram's primary focus is on physical appearance. and these platforms 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 more to keep kids safe. this is 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, a platform that runs on fomo on fear of missing out that, that where people cultivate their best lives. and in that weeds that people feeling bad about themselves when they see these curated lives online. there is no way to make that safe for 8 year olds 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 on to instagram those 1011 and 12 year olds, they're not going to want to be on a platform that they consider to be baby, a child's 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, facebook bank hawks. the famous night life is part of the reason the city has been a top tourist destination in asia for use. but as thailand government works on bringing international tourists back, curfews is still in place and barza closed go. jaila has more from the tie capital . this network of alleys and pat pon, usually the vibrant center of bangkok unique style of night life. now its idle and dark. the shutters were pulled down on bars and entertainment. venues. in the weeks after the 1st cases of coven 19 in thailand and have stayed down for most of the 18

months that followed thanks to shut downs and curfews. this part of china town, his home to a community of trendy small specialty bars. not only do bar owners view the government's 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'm out is how come i am embarrassed by the situation? thailand is renowned for his great night life. many bars have received awards. why does in the government support the industry? i think the strange laws are supported by big business to maintain the monopoly of 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 and distill alcohol. a ban on alcohol, advertising and internet sales are so strictly enforced. bars were fined for

posting videos of cocktail making and menus for drinks delivery. yet large, bruce 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 se 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 laws say it's

also about safety. for visitors. i think towards safety should be up her id. i think alcohol control is necessary. if we let the alcohol sell us run 3 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 a return as it once was, or a watered down version. it's got either al jazeera, bangkok, ah, and these are the top stories. the u. s. federal government is facing another shot done by the end of the week. republicans in the senate have just blocked an emergency spending bill. congress has until friday find solution. shabbots lindsey has more from washington d. c. this isn't just about paying federal employees and food stamps. this is also the entire. 2 government and also.
