december, democrats and some republicans came together on thursday hours ahead of a midnight deadline. and with his continued 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 country's financial solvency. it's the nation's looming debt ceiling. the point at which the us 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 jaelyn, saying a u. s. government default will likely throw the u. s. economy into recession and destabilize global markets. it's necessary to avert

a catastrophic event for our economy. representatives, the debt ceiling has been raised, were suspended 78 times since 1960, almost always on a bipartisan basis. my hope is that we can work together to do so. again. republicans raised the debt ceiling 3 times under former president trump, but have bowed against doing the same for president biden valleys. 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 a drawn out unpredictable process. republicans, though refused to budge. they say it's the democrats problem because they control government were able to find the government today because the majority accepted

with save livelihoods. but we must work together to ensure that a strident can reclaim the lives that they once had in this country. and we must work together to achieve that goal. city with the 1st city to allow international flights fully vaccinated, australian citizens and permanent residents will be required to quarantine at home for 7 days after coming from overseas. those who haven't been vaccinated or have received a vaccine that's not recognized by the government will have to quarantine in hotel for 2 weeks. vaccines produced by china's sana back and the indian manufactured cover shield had been approved. and that will enable australians who are fully vaccinated and australians and residents of australia who are overseas, who are fully vaccinated, to be able to travel again. and to be able to lift those caps on area ports in states where they have moved into phase c of the program. denouncement has been

welcomed by family members who've been separated due to caps on the number of seats on international flights. and unable to re unite due to quarantine restrictions. there's still some hurdles frustrating, wishing to return home restrictions will only be lifted when states reach an 80 percent vaccination target. which means states like here in queensland and western australia where the vaccine, right trails the rest, the country could be required to wait until december before borders reopen. if miss atwell victoria opened up to the world before they open at all, the other states that will only incentivize it to the other states to get rid of the domestic borders and actually start to reconnect with the world as a they learn to tolerate the virus and know they can still manage it. the travel knots mon only covers australian citizens and permanent residence. the foreign nationals, australians borders remain closed until further notice. sarah clark, audi 0. queensland,

a gerbils, the viral genes as it's less effective at replicating within the body. and so it's about time that we were able to introduce an easy to take a tablet home within our tool kit, a various medications that can help prevent and fight corona virus. the results from the trial that has been shared by the company has been so positive that there has been a recommendation for it now to be accelerated. however, yes, of course we always do need to have a wider bank of data, wider population level, evidence and peer review to, to be able to forge ahead with its use. that being said, the government, the u. s. government has already advanced, purchased 1700000000 doses i believe. and so that's a 1700000 rather. and so there is, i think,

a view that this is going to be a very effective solution. but we do need to have further transparency publications of this to be reviewed by other scientists rallies taking place in new york in support of the lawyer known for his decade sloane battle against u. s. o l jain, chevron. steven danziger is jeez, we sentence a criminal contempt on friday. the case stems from his decade on find on behalf of ecuadorian villages to prove that chevron polluted the amazon rain forest in the 19 ninety's on when st. you and human rights, she said, don stickers, home detention is illegal under international law and cold for his release. the reason i marked up is because we were successful. okay. i, along with other lawyers helped indigenous peoples in ecuador when a historic $9500000000.00. pollution judge, when a good chevron for the deliberate dumping of billions or girls or cancer causing

because of activists. like the ones you see behind me. some of them have gone inside of the court house, but others have been here all morning long trying to call attention to this case, which they say i is evidence of a trend of corporate lawyers and corporate corporations. basically going after human rights activists in court in a way that is silencing now in the case of danziger i, he was representing ecuador ends, whose home land, whose environment was destroyed by oil companies back in the ninety's. he had a success with that lawsuit in the late 2, thousands, but because of challenges to him, now he is facing these court proceedings here in the united nations is saying that he should be like go because of questions about the weight. uh huh. okay. chris's living there. life was in new york. kristen, thank you. he,

a $100000000000.00 annual fund. for these poor countries, much of their talk is about equality, social justice, and sharing the pain and sharing the solution with the poor countries of the world . and although we saw some success at this you for climate conference, which was part of the pre cop meetings, where gretta tongue berg was, she met with the time prime minister along with other young activists. they still are worried that all the promises made in the past couple days here milan are really just promises and not put in action that made these very bold proposals, including calling for the elimination of fossil fuels in less than 9 years time. they hope that'll be taken on board. sell has own algae. 0 cuts are his 1st legislative elections. so we look ahead to what to expect from the sheer to cancel votes. i mexico in the u. s. to working together for the environments to bring a much needed life back to natasha.

waters being diverted, to restore wetlands and forests along the colorado river delta. i know arapahoe reports the colorado river delta in the baja california desert. for decades. waterless has been its defining characteristic until a groundbreaking agreement between the us and mexico was signed in 2012, allowing water to flow in parts back into the delta c. it is important them as a narrow esl not only got it's important to mention that this acord is unique in the world in which 2 countries the united states and mexico decide to transfer volumes of was her from one country to the other exclusively for the benefit of the environment, i meant that by our, in the results of what happened when water was returned to the region, speak for themselves. he went gabriella gonzalez, a scientist with the. so nora institute says since conservation efforts began, hundreds of acres of forest and wetlands have been restored. it's

a long process. and that for the last 10 years, we have an registered at change from 5th, the bread species and the belt that in 10 years after we have more than $360.00 berth species along the river from the river, all the way to the estuary, where the rubber meets the sea, and here specifically like when i get on that we have registered more than a 162 bird species. there's also footage now suggesting wild cats including links is or thriving along with other endangered species like beavers, which had all but disappeared when water levels were critical. the viability of this renewed habitat, however, ultimately depends on a commitment from us and mexican partners to meet the demand for water. environmentalists admit that they're simply not enough water for the colorado river to flow freely all the way to the sea. but restoration projects like planting trees and maintaining wetlands like this one are delivering positive results for the

regions ecosystems. the reason why the dell to dried up dates back to another agreement, signed in 1944 back then the u. s. in mexico established exactly how much water each country would receive from the river and for what purpose. not leaving a drop for the environment. mink and say, gabriella says that while it was public policy that led to the loss of a flowing river, it can also be public policy that brings it back to life in this place. like when i could enter this project, started as his dream and 20 years later it's happening. so i can imagine a flowing river. i can't imagine healthier ecosystems and i can't imagine the river meeting with the ocean once again from may to october of this year. more than 43000000000 cubic meters of water will flow into the colorado delta, ensuring at least for now, the continued health of this natural environment. manuel did up a low al jazeera,

and it remains unclear at this moment whether that new lava flow will follow the course of the original lava flow or open up a new pathway to the sea, potentially taking in yet more homes, yet more property in its part, and overnight on the south side of the island, a brand new issue. as a reason around the town of when caliente was seismic activity detected there around 7 pm on thursday night an earthquake measuring 3.8 on the richter scale 10 kilometers, but the service of the not an enormous event in and of itself. but under these circumstances, certainly something that is of concern to vulcan, all of us who worried now that that could trigger a new mouth on the south side of the island. so communities here still very much living under the threat of this volcanic eruption and with a high degree of uncertainty about what quite what this volcano may have to offer up next. ah.
