unimaginable hunch. i prefer to lie, though, you might get the captain to chance in life, and live on a dangerous journey through the jungle. i fell onto the rail. i nearly died about children, 8th, go to school and live because of the train. risking at all the democratic republic of congo on al jazeera, the us congress boats to avert a government shut down, but shut down still looms. i've a president, bivens trillion dollar infrastructure bill. ah ha everyone, i'm kim. i'll santa maria, this is the world news from al jazeera. washington is wanting a sanctions against ethiopia for spelling senior united nations officials risking
2:01 am
it all for the american dream, the migrant places that tend to cross the darian gap, but dangerous stretch of jungle between columbia and panama. ah, and bond is back on the big screen, but can the new w 7 film help revive an industry facet by the corona virus condom? ah, so in the united states congress has passed legislation to avert a shutdown of the government. the stock got funding bill easily passed the house and senate, which means that now goes to president bivens, assigning, before government funding runs out of midnight's. how does your cast or has a report from capitol hill on this 30 days or 254 days or 175?
2:02 am
the motion is adopted. the u. s. government will remain open at least until early december, democrats and some republicans came together on thursday hours ahead of a midnight deadline. and with this continual resolution, we not only keep government open, keep checks flowing to, to our veterans and social security recipients, and the rest. it's just a remarkable thing to think of all the things that we can do working together for the people. but while congress has put out one fire, yet another blaze frightens the countries financial solvency. it's the nations looming debt ceiling. the point at which the u. s. can borrow no more money to pay its bills. that limit will be reached on october 18th, unless congress agrees to raise or suspend it. economists including treasury secretary, janet yellen, said u. s. government default will likely throw the u. s. economy into recession and the
2:03 am
stabilize global markets. it's necessary to avert a catastrophic event for economy representatives. dead ceiling has been raised or suspended. $78.00 times since 1900. 60, almost always on a bipartisan basis. my hope is that we can work together to do so. again, we probably can raise the debt ceiling 3 times under former president trump, but have bowed against doing the same for president biden. that we democrats with the task of solving the issue alone, requiring challenging parliamentary maneuvers with no guarantee of succeeding in time. republicans need to get out of the way. so senate democrats can address the issue quickly, and without needlessly endangering the stability of our economy. we can't afford the risk of drawn out unpredictable process. republicans still refused to budge. they say it's the democrats problem because they control government were able to
2:04 am
find the government today because the majority accepted reality. the same thing will need to happen on the deadline that next week, another week, another display of the partisan acrimony accompanying the u. s. congress from crisis to crisis. you're always more to come in washington, isn't there heidi hydrogen cancer with live now from capital hills, a debt ceiling done. now. the, sorry, i should say government shut down, done debt ceiling. and then this infrastructure bill, which is really joe biden signature pace, and that will be a push not just because of republicans, but because of democrats themselves right now that that infrastructure bill is the immediate agenda now back, it's pending on the house floor as we speak will or will there not be a vote on it tonight? one still scheduled, but there is a lot at stake here because as you alluded,
2:05 am
come all the democrats who control the house are divided on whether or not to support this bill. ironically, they all appear to agree that what it contains is good for the country. they support the bill, but they just don't support what time to vote on it. liberal democrats wants another bill to be voted on 1st. the bigger package that really contains the majority of president biden's domestic agenda, which is the expansion of government that this country hasn't seen in decades, but it would widen the social safety net by expanding health care, child care. also tackling climate change and progressive. think that now is the time to use their leverage to get that bill on the floor and approved and past. but some moderate democrats are saying that it's simply too expensive and it's current price tag, a $3.00 and a half trillion dollars, which would require tax raises to cover. and so right now those 2 wings of the
2:06 am
democratic party are unable to come together. and if this infrastructure bill, which is caught in the middle comes up for a vote this evening as scheduled, it is still uncertain whether or not it would have the votes to pass, which again, just showed more light on this inter party division among democrats, biden's own party, which is embarrassing for the president and embarrassing, potentially risky for the democratic party. we're thinking about next year's congressional election. never del mar in washington, if you can't start. thank you for that update. on to other news in the us is condemning ethiopia for expelling 7 senior united nations. official. washington says that one hesitate to use sanctions against those obstructing humanitarian efforts. the you, instead of been accused of court meddling in ethiopia as internal affairs and have been going 7, have been given 72 hours to get out a diplomatic, get

a low point this week after the recent attempted coup when it took power 2 years ago, the transitional government promised to fix the decades of the management in tunnel conflicts and international functions. under the former president bush's, but it's yet to demonstrate to the people who had done that it can undo damage done by bushels, redeem kickstart the countries struggling economy, and move the country toward genuine democratic governance. and either in the, what we need is to revamp and strengthen government institutions, especially our weak institutions of justice. only then would we stop worrying about who rule sudan against all odds on most. so dunc young people have in the past both of physical and discipline, and that's all the toppling of one of the world's most autocratic games that former president hudson bush, you know, the transition in that country remain less than white in fighting. and hopefully within the topic come home, once again finding themselves trying to had to get that voice as part of

2:21 am
researchers describe instagram itself as a quote perfect storm. the whistleblower giving instagram's own research to the wall street journal, showing slides with the headlines. one and 5 teams say that instagram makes them feel worse about themselves. teens who struggle with mental health to instagram makes it worse. we make body image issues worse for one in 3 teen girls. that's their own description. and the reason antigone davis, ahead of mobile security for facebook which owns instagram, was called to testify. i want to be clear that this research is not a bombshell. it's not causal research. it's in fact, joe, i rational different products this. this research is a bomb shell. it is powerful gripping riveting evidence. i disdain for the company was clear across the board of you quantified how many

al jazeera washington. very pleased to welcome david mon him to out there a campaign manager at the non profit group fair play. he's in boston for us, david as, as, as so many people in that report just point to this is what facebook themselves are saying. and they're trying to say, it's not cool, but honestly it's such damming stuff, isn't it? sure is. and i mean today hearing was really kind of disturbing because the senators just had really straightforward questions, focused on what facebook knew, which reported very clearly in the wall street journal in the last several days. and a lot of the senator said, you know, i'm a parent and, and i care about this deeply because i think about going to my child and they were really straightforward questions. what does facebook know, what are they doing to protect children? unfortunately. busy miss davis was really trying to evade the questions, trying to put this spin on it, saying this news is not bombshell lose saying, well,
2:24 am
sure, a certain percentage of teens report that they feel worse about themselves or that they may be, or even more likely to commit suicide if they're on instagram, but then there are others who say that instagram is fine. i mean, that's not a real way of answering the concerns of parents or of law makers. let's flip the scenario around then david, and say, how responsible should facebook or indeed any social media company be for the actions and the thoughts and the content of its users. they are providing the platform and people. well, i mean, the idea is that they can, to a degree post what they want. yes, but facebook is doing so much to lord children to keep them on the platform to expose them. no harmful content. i mean, when,
2:25 am
when the cigarette companies were finally facing the music about the damage that they were doing to young people know and said, well, can we really blame the tobacco companies? kids should just not smoke or parents should not let them smoke. you know, when facebook 1st announced that they were going to launch into gram kids, my organization, which is fair play, we worked with child development experts and other organizations to write to facebook and say, don't do this, this is going to be harmful to kids. you know, adult can't even resist the lore of all the ways. the technology that laura, you want to, the platform, encourages you to watch things that you'll probably like. and all of a sudden 10 minutes becomes 2 hours wasted. and in the case of young people, they're being exposed to materialism. they're being exposed to the white official view about popularity and attractiveness. in so many ways it's harmful. and believe
2:26 am
me, if you take a close look at the research that was just covered by watch feet journal, you can see that facebook is fully aware that young people are on that platform. and their goal was to get even younger people, which means even more vulnerable, young people would be on that platform and exposed to that kind of risk. i'm going to be the boring parent here. and a parent who personally is never posted a picture of my child on any social media. how much responsibility should go with us as parents not to expose our kids to all of this from? well, pretty much the moment they bullet you know, parents obviously play a role in helping, helping to guide their children into how they should use the internet. what platforms they should use, how, how long they should stay on. but my goodness, how awful it is. for facebook to try to blame families. and in the case of miss
2:27 am
davids testimony that she was even blaming kids who have the practice of using since the accounts. you know, it's facebook that is loring them. parents needing that says, especially in the past year, parents have had to juggle so much with the pandemic and with so many kids needing to be on their devices much more than they used to be. parents need an assist right now. there are no guard rails, there are no in the united states. there is very little regulatory help for parents that would encourage companies to do the right thing. and so it's, it's certainly not appropriate to say, well, parents, it's your fault. when parents, we believe parents are doing everything that they can to trying to maximize the ability of their children, to use the internet safely and not not be exposed to harmful content or harmful manipulative practices. april advertising their targets kids that,
2:28 am
that kind of thing. david mon and is from fair play in boston. great talking to you . thank you for your time. same year. thank you. now something different for the highly anticipated 25th james bond movie landed in british cinemas on thursday. the final installment featuring daniel craig is the famous spine. no time to dies, being watched closely as well as the test of the cinema industry. the ability to recover after months of closures, due to cause it need back up with the support from london. the, there's any one show in town. phone is 2 years late because of the pandemic with a change of direct script along the way, expect to familiar face doing familiar things, smashing and schmoozing his way around the world for queen and country all while showing off a slew of expensive accessories and really feel gadget, now, your enemies, my and just the ticket for dealing with an international criminal gang,
2:29 am
or maybe even jumping the petro q during britain's current fuel shortage. beyond the spectacle, it's hope no time to die, will come to the rescue of britain cinemas, force to close for months during the pandemic. so both film is a big film in any year specter and sky for the last 2 installments, in respect to number 3, and number 2 in the will time tap top 10 of you k box office. and clearly, given what we've gone through the last 18 months, the expectation, the hopes for this bond title are bigger than ever. aside from the obligatory bashi crashing of bond, there's something almost cozy about the front, sorry, something deeply familiar. which is what cinema is a hoping will entice people away from home, streaming services, netflix, amazon, and others. back in front of the big screen, the streaming giant doubled its profits in 2020 surpassing $200000000.00 paid subscribers with a revenue of $25000000000.00. to stay at home boom is far from over. and as the
