i prefer to lie down just on the white glove captain, tooth chancing life, and live on a dangerous journey thief jungle. when i fell on to the rails, i nearly died of our children 8th go to school and live because of the prank. risking it all the democratic republic of congo on al jazeera, ah facebook grills from a global out, his hip millions of uses across his platforms, including instagram and what tab. and that's not the only crisis facing the company . and employee turned whistleblower is accusing it of prioritizing profit of a clamping down on hight speech and misinformation. facebook has realized that if they change the algorithm to be safer, people will spend less time on the site unless ads don't make less money.

ah, hello, i'm emily anglin. this is out here live from dough house. so coming up, if your peers prime minister is sworn in for a 2nd term, is people starved to death in to cry and the war spreads to other parts of the country. plus the noble prize in medicine goes to 2 american scientists for research on how the body reacts to temperature and touch. ah, hello and welcome to the program. social media platforms orange by facebook, are starting to get back to normal. having been knocked offline for several hours, millions of people around the world could not access facebook, instagram and their messaging service whatsapp. the group's chief technical officer explained on rival platform twitter. that networking issues were to blame for one

of the biggest and longest outages he did not explain the nature of the issues, but security experts speculate the outage could have been triggered by mistake on it. so the computers, all this comes is facebook faces. another crisis after a former employee leaked documents that accused the firm of prioritizing profit to over the safety of users. francis hogan is scheduled to testify in the u. s. senate on tuesday. when we live in an information environment that is full of angry, hot, hateful polarizing content, it or roads, our civic trust, erodes our faith in each other, erodes our ability to want to care for each other. the version of facebook that is us today is tearing our societies apart and causing ethnic violence around the world. rosalind jordan fall, this update from washington dc. the return to service for customers. really just, it's just random. some people are getting their instagram back. some people are

getting their what's out back, and i think we have to look back at the chief technology officers of statement on twitter that teams are trying to reconnect network connections. and so there's no rhyme or reason as to when people are going to get their access back to their accounts. but it does appear, at least at this point, that as far as facebook is concerned, they're nothing nefarious has happened. now that doesn't mean that something nefarious hasn't happened, but simply that facebook is blaming this simply on the fact that something technological wasn't working. this comes down to whether or not facebook has been taking advantage or abusing. as critics would say, it's power because it is perhaps the most prolific social media company in the world of the there's been a leak to was the, to the press about how people working inside. facebook knew that some of the

content on instagram was contributing to what a poor psychological state for teenage girls harming their sense of self confidence in creating the problem of body dis morphia. which often does require some sort of medical intervention in order to keep people healthy in afraid is the chief technology correspond an ad axioms. she explains how the anti shows the scale of facebook's monopoly and why they're growing cold for regulating tech giants. these types of outages are rare, they do usually happen, some sort of update is made and it knocks out a whole bunch of servers. typically though it doesn't take down all of facebook services or all of microsoft or all of google's and certainly not globally. so this was unusual, obviously the timing is particularly unique. i think it isn't necessarily. busy a sign of a conspiracy theory or a massive hack, but certainly it comes at

a precarious time. and it's been interesting to watch both critics and supporters of facebook and facebook itself. say, see, this is how important we are. and the critic saying this is why no one company should be in charge of this much of the internet, and it sort of goes against the idea of the decentralized internet. whereas facebook is saying, you know, we're sorry, we're sorry. we took something so vital to so many people, so it creates an interesting backdrop ahead of tomorrow's hearings. people in the united states in particular, didn't feel it in the same way as people globally where whatsapp is a key to communications and payment systems. but again, globally, as you know, what's app is tremendously important for communication in a lot of parts of the globe. i'm and it does raise questions around, you know, how important it is for there to be redundancy, but also questions around, you know, should private companies be solely in control of infrastructure. so critical to communications,

to the rest of the day's news in ethiopians. prime minister abbey ahmed has been sworn in for a 2nd, sam, after he's potty secured a landslide victory in genes elections. he described the pole as ethiopia, his 1st attempt at a free and fair voters. the poles were either shattered by the conflict into grime, where hundreds of thousands of people are facing possible famine. and they were fresh reports of fighting in the countries west. catherine silly has moved. i. hello, prime minister abbey ahmed and a parliament dominated by members of his prosperity party. warning for a 5 year term. the party was declared, we now of the june parliamentary election. that was boy quoted by some opposition. parties. voting was also postponed in several areas because of logistical and security problems, including in t guy where the government is facing a rebellion. 3 of those areas held the elections a few days ago. but despite the problems,

the vote was seen by some electoral observers and the african union as better run and more democratic than previous poles. the prime minister then went to the historic mask elsewhere in the capital, addis ababa with thousands of a few pins alongside several heads of state. helped him celebrate the victory. ethiopia needs the cooperation of its friends for its journey of prosperity. ethiopia wants the friendship from the international community. however, any friendship must never undermine ethiopia is owner and sovereignty. but some ethiopian octave, they say the prime minister's moment has been tainted by his inability to deal with a conflict in t gray that has now spread to neighboring regions. and rising ethnic tensions and fighting in other parts of the country for what people were asking whether they were protesting from 2015 to 2018 is not a radical change or the return to

a past. but democratizing, the system that existed in what are be on it tried to do is basically centralized power and, and signaled as much as his intention to return to the country. back to the kind of imperial paid, la garza, the prime minister said he's government is open to dialogue with a few pins who want peace. he did not mention the t guy, people's liberation front, or the p l. f. fighters who are battling security forces he t k, and whom the government has labeled a terrorist organization with america in the north of the country. betrayal and arrogance has made us pay a heavy cost as a nation. the conflict in to cry is inflicted on us by few individuals who said that there shall be no e the opiate, if they can't arbitrarily govern. they created this conflict. the u. n. c's degree is facing a farming, and aid is not quickly getting to those who need it most. both the government and t

p. a laugh, accused each other of provocation and hindering humanitarian assistance for the region. as he begins his new term beneath europeans hope the prime minister will resolve the t gray crisis man ethnic divisions in different parts of the country and bring if the appear back on truck cat in soy. alta 0, you any investigation says all sides in libya's conflict, have committed violations that may include war crimes. it details, accounts of murder, torture enslavement and ripe levy has been in conflict since the death of its former later warmer gadhafi in 2011. where the rival administration's fighting for power claudia cassini is the international crisis group, senior analyst for libya. she says the investigative panel will have to be more specific in its next reports. well, actually this report that was published today is just the beginning of the process

. the commission, this mission, that was a fact finding mission was supposed to deliver its final report by now, but actually was very late in having its presence on the ground, even in the report. they say that until this june, they weren't fully operative. so the conclusions in this report are, let's say, rather superficial, they just admit that they, these crimes took place. but without the level of detail, they don't name individuals. they don't point to specific countries except for mentioning them as supporting the conflict. so there's not that level of detail needed for really specific follow up accountability. we've all known and indeed also european member states that corporate with the libyan co coast guards have been aware of these abuses that take place both at sea and on land in the detention centers. and despite all of that, they have continued to fund and corporate with the coast guards unless they're

specifics of individuals that are named it's, it's hard for them to be brought to justice. and i doubt, given the pressure on european member states, italy in particular, or because of the flow of migrants, i doubt that they will be stopping or changing their cooperation programs with the coast guards and relevant authorities. as a result of this report in its current, strict sedans government has warned its about to run out of medicine, fuel and weight because of the closure of its main port. people have blocked roads around port sedan to protest against what they say is a lack of political power and poor economic conditions in the region. last month, they should a pipeline that carries oil to the capital. cartoon mohammed a dow is in port sedan. there is very little activity going all not pulled sit on the beach, a tribesmen who are protesting,

i call on all young people regardless of their religion, to be ready to fight against any action that may damage the environment or increase the climate crisis. the meeting was labeled faith in science and many spoke of the need to fuse our rational and spiritual sides together. faith on science, people of different faith can transform fear in hope on fire, t in confidence, in action into action and the others piloted the responsibility. religion confers on humanity that the water is the father. the it is the teacher. and art is our common mother, just as we don't dis honor, our mother, father and teacher. why would we dishonour these gifts from our creator? we must address the unequal economic systems and the human impacts of climate

change. though they aren't political leaders, the president of the upcoming un environmental conference says they have an important role. there is a very unique voice that a religious leaders have when they talk to other worldly dis, the leaders of governments. and that i think is what now needs to happen for that voice from the religious world, from the scientific world to be amplified to tell world leaders that have to act to protect our planet and our people throughout his papers. he pope frances has supported environmental action in 2015. he published his 2nd and cyclical loud that those see and which he called for swift and bold action to tackle the climate crisis. and lis, last weekly. he virtually attended the youth for climate conference and milan, backing the work of 400 young delegates as they drafted proposals for the you and summit. meanwhile, outside conferences, a growing protest movement is adding its own pressure. a consensus has been

which it knew about shall, is appealing against that judgment, but activists hope things like the petition will push it to act to curb the growing climate emergency and confront him with a daily. i'm confronted with ads when i see the news, when i see a news about refugees coming because there's no possibility to live in their countries. i see it when the oil prices are rising in england. i see it in every day and i think we should just act shells as it respects the right to protest, but call this action on its property unsafe and illegal. it also says it's important. it lets customers know about lower carbon options. buyer advertising port authority say there was barely any disruption to shipping traffic, but the message has been delivered. a call for europe to act over what big energy companies claim about their green credentials. nadine barbara al jazeera rotterdam investigate is in california trying to find out why 570000 a late is of oil late from a rig 4 kilometers from shoal cruise,

beijing has doubled down on its state centered economic system. it is increasingly clear that china's plans do not include meaningful reforms to address the concerns that have been shared by the united states and many other countries. now the reason the buying administration is taking this action now is that in 2020 china committed to purchasing 200000000000 of u. s. goods, but has lived up to just 62 percent of that commitment. and so in order to hold china accountable, the trade representative taking these actions. but there is another reason to and that is, is that the united states and china are the world's 2 largest economies and how they interact has reverberations of repercussions around the world. and for too long, the biden administration says that china is global trade practices have been under cutting the american worker. 2 as well as the middle class, and as a result is taking this action now in order to try and protect,
