harm children, stoke division and weaken our democracy. >> reporter: haugen appearing before a senate subcommittee tuesday alleging the company is operating in the shadows and hiding its research from public scrutiny. >> they have put their astronomical profits before people congressional action is needed. they won't solve this crisis without your help. >> reporter: a former product manager, haugen who worked in civic integrity says the company knew about the harmful effects caused by it's apps including instagram's potential toxic effect on teen girls and did nothing. >> i would like to emphasize one of the documents we sent in on problematic use examined the xplicitly i feel bad use by age when i instagram,et caop. >> reporter: all of which she cebook mark zuckerberg.dustryat holds over 55% of all voting

pandemic and another possible weapon in the fight against covid. astrazeneca asking the fda for emergency authorization for new treatments for covid. steve osunsami is tracking the latest. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. if authorization of this new drug is approved, public health officials hope that it will help in the fight against covid. there's still many steps to get to that point. the numbers they're tracking, they're improving, but health authorities say they're still not at a place where anyone should feel comfortable. there's some hope this morning in the new forecast from the cdc. the scientists in atlanta are sharing that the number of covid cases, hospitalizations and fatalities are expected to fall over the next two weeks but the numbers will still be painful with 22,000 americans expected to die from covid these next two weeks, down from 26,000 people over the two weeks prior. >> in order to avoid any subsequent resurges, it would be very important to get a lot more people vaccinated.

>> reporter: the white house is trying to celebrate the positive announcing on tuesday that 76% of americans 12 and older have gotten at least one shot and the department of health and human services is out with a new report saying that covid vaccines kept more than 250,000 seniors from getting sick. also the drug companies are making new tools, drugmaker astrazeneca is asking for emergency fda authorization of its antibody treatment to help prevent covid-19. antibodies have often been used to treat people who have already gotten sick. this would prevent disease in high risk americans with compromised immune systems. >> this is not in place of the vaccines. that's really important. this is in an additional therapy layer we have. >> reporter: thousands are still dying every day with now 700,000 dead since the pandemic began. we're seeing more proof every day that more and more companies requiring their workers to get

vaccinated and aren't kidding. the latest is health giant kaiser permanente. they're reporting this morning that they've put 2,200 of their employees, many of them medical workers on unpaid leave and saying that those employees have until december 1st to get vaccinated or they lose their jobs. george? >> steve osunsami, thanks. we'll go to watch watch now. republicans are blocking democratic attempts to avert a financial meltdown forcing president biden to consider new ways around the crisis and cecilia vega has the latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. the situation right now is so dire that president biden is considering using a solution that he had said he'd been opposed to. it's the so-called nuclear option for a reason because it's never been used in a situation like this one. it would be blowing up the so-called filibuster rule in the senate. even that right now is not

guaranteed. every single democrat would need to get on board and joe manchin says he is opposed to this. democrats don't want to go this route because it's time-consuming. that deadline is days away. this is also going to force the democrats to get on record with how much to raise this debt limit or ceiling to tying them to this really large number and that could hurt them politically. republicans, they are not budging on this one despite having raised this debt ceiling or suspended it three times under former president trump. nearly 98% of the debt we're talking about right now, that accrued before president biden even took office. so today the president, he's trying to get out front on this, invited business leaders and ceos here to this white house, george, trying to publicize how dangerous this could be and the economists have said it, we're talking about a possible recession if this happens and possibly millions of jobs. >> meantime, the president is still negotiating with democrats over the size of his investment packages. >> reporter: yeah, but it seems like, george, they could be ta .

he wanted that 3.5 trillion for those social packages. it looks like they're close story a $2 trillion number. these negotiations are still going on, but this morning, the question is what stays, what goes. the president hasn't said what his red line will be with the new numbers. >> cecilia vega, thanks very much. robin? now to the latest on the devastating oil spill off the coast of southern california. remotely operated underwater vehicles finding the 13-inch gash in the plieb thipeline tha allowed up to 144,000 gallons of crude to spill into the pacific ocean. matt gutman is live again there in huntington beach, california. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. and now federal regulators are saying that that oil company received alarms of low pressure in its pipeline, basically blaring signal of a possible oil leak six hours before they notified authorities. the reasons for that are unclear, but what is unmistakable is the massive effort and clean up here, including 12-foot berms behind

me to try to prevent oil from getting into the channels. this morning with the army of cleanup workers set to swell to 1,500, officials saying the oil spill was not only devastating, it was preventable. >> this tragedy did not need to occur and does not need to persist into the future. >> reporter: according to federal officials preliminary findings obtained by abc news amplify energy received alarms indicating a potential failure in the pipeline more than three hours before it was shut off. it took them another three hours to report the spill. coast guard officials tell us divers in remotely operated vehicles found that something, possibly a ship's anchor, bent a nearly mile-long stretch of that pipeline dragging it 105 feet and gouging a 13-inch cut which caused the oil to spew out. >> typically pipelines, if they're in operation, would be full of oil and under pressure. when you create that opening, you have a release of pressure to the environment. >> reporter: so it's like being

on a plane and opening the window, everything goes flying out? >> through that opening. >> through that opening. >> right. eng satellite wever b images show it allowed a slick twice the size of new york's central park to form right off huntington beach just as jets swooped and buzzed over more than a million spectators at the pacific air show which was also at huntington beach. on saturday newport beach mayor brad avery found himself motoring through a giant patch of crude. >> ran into a pod of dolphins and they were going along with us and then all of a sudden we were into a very large patch of oil. >> reporter: and, of course, there's a human toll. ports and harbors shut along the coast line, bringing the tourism industry to a stand still. many of these are mom and pop operators that can't afford not to work for days or weeks. we've heard of the first federal lawsuit as well.

michael? >> big impact, matt. all right, thank you. now to the fbi under new scrutiny because there are new questions about the agents who handled the investigation into usa gymnastics doctor larry nassar may have broken the law and pierre thomas has the latest. >> reporter: this morning, justice department prosecutors confirming that they are re-examining whether fbi agents broke the law when they failed to fully investigate claims that young gymnasts were being sexually assaulted by larry nassar. >> they want the survivors to understand how exceptionally seriously we take this issue and believe that this deserves a thorough and full review. >> reporter: the justice department has been facing sharp criticism in the wake of that dramatic hearing less than three weeks ago where

simone biles and aly raisman claimed they failed to take them seriously and led to more than 100 more women and girls being assaulted. >> i don't want another young gymnast, olympic athlete or any individual to experience the horror that i and hundreds of others have endured. >> reporter: senior fbi agents are accused of lying to investigators when asked why they didn't do more to protect those young women. they're also facing claims they wrote false and misleading reports about the nature of allegations against nassar. >> what's even more upsetting to me is that we know that these fbi agents have committed an obvious crime. they falsified my statement and that is illegal in itself. >> reporter: raisman responded saying she was encouraged there was new information, but she was discouraged it has taken six long years to come out. she ended her tweet by saying, congress, please compel a real investigation. george? >> we will see if it happens. pierre thomas, thanks very much. we turn to the story of a former tesla elevator operator who is speaking out after the

automaker was forced to pay him $137 million because he was repeatedly subjected to racist abuse at the company and rebecca jarvis has the story. >> we just want to be treated and seen as equal human beingsi speaki o aer s tr cmaker stayt de him $137 million over claims he suffered racist abuse at the company. owen diaz hired through a staffing agency in 2015 as an elevator operator at tesla's factory in freemont told the court he faced a hostile work environment where employees painted swastikas and racist graffiti on bathroom stalls and co-workers told him back to africa and ethnic slurs were heard routinely. he said nothing was done to stop it quitting after roughly one year on the job and ultimately suing. >> they decided not to follow through. they decided to kill investigations. you know, you can't keep treating workers like this. >> reporter: now tesla whose founder and ceo is elon musk

ordered to pay diaz $130 million in punitive damages and $7 million in emotional distress. an unprecedented amount for racial discrimination cases. >> a lot of people are living paycheck to paycheck. they have to take either -- choose to take the abuse that these billion dollar companies are putting out or feed their families. >> reporter: in an internal email to employees monday following the verdict posted on the company's website, tesla's vp of people writing, although the facts they have of the case don't justify the verdict reached by the jury in san francisco, we do recognize that in 2015 and 2016 we were not perfect. we're still not perfect. but we have come a long way from five years ago. >> hopefully it will make them change and make other companies change and realize racist conduct has no place in the workplace. >> reporter: and this is not the first time tesla has faced those claims of a hostile and racist work environment.

i'm feeling great. i feel like i've been through it but i'm feeling great, thank you. >> and that is good to hear. when did you realize that your cancer had returne >> well, it all started in 2015 with a rare form of aggressive cancer, and then there were a couple of recurrences but in october of 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic, all of a sudden i started feeling some really serious pain in my pelvis and i thought, you know, at my age, maybe i just pulled a groin muscle or something. i started ignoring it, then it got worse and worse and what happened was i ended -- i couldn't sleep and i was sleeping, you know, in my office with my head on the desk and went for a scan and it turned out that the cancer had returned with a vengeance and the scan showed that there were tumors wrapped around my pelvis and one of them was strangling my right kidney so it got seriously quickly in the middle of covid.

>> when you first diagnosed you were told your cancer was terminal. at that time you started drinking heavily, were taken painkillers to help you get through it. how did you get out of that place? >> yeah, i have to say my wife of 30 years connie sellecca was really -- i mean, she was just such an advocate for me and what happened was, not right away did i act like this. i fought hard at the beginning and then when the cancer came back, it was just like somebody had slammed the door in my face and what happens is -- what happened for me i just became, michael, i became a cancer patient. i realized that i could pretty much get whatever i wanted. i mean, when the first diagnosis came through, we were told to get -- connie and i both were told to get my affairs in order and so hope was not something that was prevalent in my life at that point and so what happened was i just started, you know, you can get whatever you want

from your doctor for pain. i was in a fair amount of pain and then i was chasing it with scotch and at a certain point connie and i, we just sort of came toe-to-toe and she -- connie is a -- is an italian, pretty much a weaponized italian from the bronx and she basically sent the message to me clear, clearly that she was not going to abide this and that she had invested in me and our relationship and in my health and really sort of gave me an ultimatum, you need to get straightened out, and i knew that she had invested all of that time and intelligence into getting me healed, and from that point on, i realized that i really needed to stop feeling sorry for myself in the middle of my pity party and get busy trying to make my way through all the suffering. >> and i think anybody can understand, you know, having that pity party for yourself. we know connie was weaponized with love. that's how you have to look at it. >> i like that.

i like that. >> and you found out that the cancer -- that the cancer was bck. how did you handle it differently this time? >> you know, in october -- when it happened is i had been -- i had been through so much suffering and i -- but i understood that if i -- we went through this, connie and i both together with a two-pronged approach. it was using, you know, very smart doctors but also cooperating with god where we knew from reading scriptures about healing, mark 11:23, proverbs 18:21, life and death are in the power of the tongue that god wanted me well and so we -- given that promise we could see me on the other side of it and so it was -- having been in the trenches of fighting this deadly aggressive disease, i knew that with connie's help and with god's cooperation as i said, that there was -- i could see myself on the other side of

it and it's so important. i stopped talking about myself as a cancer patient. you know, together we would pray with the understanding that god wanted me well and that was the promise and the scriptures and we just worked as a team and, you know, cancer like this, you can divide couples and it does every single day and thankfully i had a partner who was as you said weaponized with love. >> no doubt and great partner indeed and, john, we want you to be well also so just want to send our thoughts and prayers with you and we're rooting with you and we're with you. >> i appreciate it. thank you, bud. >> thank you, my friend. ginger. michael, logan canyon, utah, has that fruity pebbles look when it comes to fall foilage. it is looking nice. guess what's coming? snow. talking two to three feet in parts of the northern rockie

i'm morgan, and there's more to me than hiv. more love, more adventure, more community. but with my hiv treatment, there's not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor and switched to fewer medicines with dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. with just 2 medicines in 1 pill, dovato is as effective as a 3-drug regimen... to help you reach and stay undetectable. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you take dofetilide. taking dovato with dofetilide can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while on dovato. don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor, as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems.

if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. so much goes into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. ask your doctor about dovato-i did. ♪
