town relation to cross one of the most impassable regions in the world. and buying time to avoid another government shut down, the u. s. senate passes the gaps spending bill. ah, if you is expelling 7 senior united nations officials, after accusing them of meddling in its internal affairs, they include senior figures with the un children's fund. unicef and the office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs. they've been given 72. i was to leave the country. this comes one day after the un humanitarian chief, criticize the ethiopian government, accusing it of stopping desperately needed aid from reaching the t gray region with the united nations secretary general clinic. the parish gave this response through his spokeswoman in e t o p, the u. n. is delivering life saving aid, including food medicine, water and sanitation supplies to people in desperate need. i have full confidence in the you and staff who are in ethiopia doing this work the you, when it's committed to helping ethiopian people who rely on humanitarian assistance . we are now engaging with the government of v t o p out and the expectation that the concerned us staff will be allowed to continue their important work or the matter headed her james phase joins us live now from the united nations. james, we just heard there from one of the parishes spokeswoman tell us a little bit more about the kind of reaction that there has been at the un to these expulsion. well, that statement you just heard started with the words from the 2nd general. i was shocked, and i think that really does sum up the reaction here at the united nations. yes, they know that they've had a really difficult relationship with a t peer in terms of humanitarian assistance. they still funny, very hard to get the humanitarian aid that they want into parts of ethiopia, particularly to t gray. and that situation is not ease. the secretary general has been working on this since november last year, and he's had some patient quite diplomacy going on without the ahmed, the if the prime minister. and clearly that strategy has not worked because the pins at a time when the you and believes that t gray certainly is likely. now, in famine, the, the, the government has kicked out 6 of the top humanitarian officials, as you say, one from unicef, and the others from the secretariat who are coordinating, the humanitarian response. is interesting to that the other official who has been targeted and who has to leave in the next 72 hours is one of the heads of the human rights office and was reminding you that you and human rights office has been working with the t o p and human rights commission on a joint report on the situation into gray. and that report is about to be released any day now. so that is also an important backdrop. what we're seeing is not just the secretary general barbara who's upset about this. it's also the un security council they been meeting in the last hour to discuss libby or in fact, a part a compromise resolution to keep the un mission going in libya after a dispute about that. and i spoke to many of the ambassadors about the t grey situation and they are very, very concerned about the situation and what has happened. they certainly support the secretary general. they do not believe these un stuff. we're doing what the government says they were doing, which was meddling in the internal affairs. and what's looking likely, although it's not been scheduled yet because it's the beginning of the month, tomorrow, the new presidency takes over the security council, kenya. what's likely, i think is the un security council is going to meet to discuss this in the coming hours. james base or a diplomatic editor speaking to us from the united nations. james, thank you. there have been rallies in the sudanese capital to condemn. last week's crew attempt hundreds of people to the streets of cartoon calling for an end to a power struggle within the transitional government. the attempted coup has been blamed on forces loyal to depose the former president. omar bashir. mohammedan has more now from cartoon, the familiar slogan from the protest 420182019. once again, echo was done in the capital k $200.00 took to the cheats to express their anger at what they say is an attempt by the ministry to disrupt the conflict transition to democracy. and when we were expecting to be the transition to civilian rule, we don't actually feel there is a transition to anything here yet. today, there is no freedom, peace or justice in sudan pensions between dance, military and civilian. politicians reached 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 this management in tunnel conflict and international functions. under the former president bush's, but it's yet to demonstrate to the people who sit done that it can undo the damage done by bushels, redeem kickstart the countries struggling economy, and move the country toward genuine democratic governance. and i've done everything in the. what we need is to revamp and strength in government institutions, especially our weak institutions of justice. only then would we stop worrying about who rule sudan against all odds on more potential for dance. young people have in the past both of physical and discipline and not told the toppling of one of the world most autocratic again that the former president how can i help you out of the transition in that country remains. so that's why in fighting and hopefully within the topic come home. once again finding themselves trying to hard to get that voice as part of the list of those who died 2 to 3 years ago i yet to get just public. this content has also been mountain economic reforms that severely review subsidies on petrol and more than doubling the, these pound, bronze or civil official and black markets rates and is depreciating, causing a loss of cash from the former economy. these activities say nothing will stop the much having a better way of life, and they will bring the non little 4 decades. how many dollars either had to sit down. i the form of french president nicholas have cosy, has been handed a one year jail sentence, but he's unlikely to spend any time behind bars. he was found guilty for his role in illegal over spending for his failed attempt to win a 2nd term. the judge said he could serve the sentence confined to his home, and as the tasha butler reports now from paris, this is not the end of his legal battles. nicholas saul cosy was not in the paris court for the verdict into the city called the 1000000 corruption trial. but he's 13 co accused were all, were found guilty over legal campaign financing. so cozy was sentenced to a year under house arrest. the president, so cozy with whom i spoke on the phone just now asked me to go and appeal, which i will do immediately when i leave here. and of course, the judgement will not be enforceable. nicholas saw cozy, failed to be re elected as french president in 2012. despite a lavish campaign, the scale of his rallies was designed to impress, but instead it's set off alarm bells. a police investigation acute saw cosy and his campaign team of spending more than double the 27000000 dollar legal limit that by the front date and hiring a p. all company called big 1000000 to help cover up the over spending with a system of fake invoices during the trial so could be denied any wrong doing. but the judge in her soul can be knew how much to be friends on the presidential campaign because he's wrong before and he knew the law. she also said that hid twice, receive written warnings about the risk of offending symbolically important to say that a president doesn't get any immunity and has to respond to the load. it is also important because the campaign for 2022 is coming. so we have to have this reflection about our prevents illegal financing a 3rd political campaign. so cozy served one term as president from 2007, a straight talker with a love of luxury. he was tough for the migration and crime. he retired from politics in 2017, in recent years, the political right when has struggled in france, both saw crazies remained prominent for lots of entities and who vote for the right side. and you could ask the team as you can all times, tell me how to ring. the conviction is the for the blue to saw cozy reputation in march. he was found guilty of corruption in a different case, and he could soon be back in court. he's accused of receiving illegal campaign funds from the late libyan leader mohammed duffy for cosy legal problems. it seems a far from over the actual butler. i'll just 0 paris. more than 22000 refugees and migrants are stuck in the north. colombian beach town of nicole could be waiting for smugglers to help them cross into panama, the migrants who are mostly from haiti, or attempting to travel through one of the most dangerous regions in the world. the diary and gas is the only overland route between south and north america. i listened on pity, joins us live now from nickel. clearly sandra, 1st of all, tell us what the situation like they are now. well barbara, this is probably one of the biggest bottlenecks on days people journey towards the united states. it has been like this for now over a month back. the numbers keep growing here with the, as you said in your introduction, more than 20000 people who are now stranded here, hoping to be able to cross into panama. the problem is that panama is only letting 500 migrants in on a daily basis, many more to arrive here at least a 1000 arrive every day. so people get back here for up to a month to those who can are staying in hotels or renting rooms and apartments. the other ones who can do that to set or have pitch there 10 sit on the beach. and as you can see beside me, pretty much the entire beach is now full of people that are waiting to be able to get on boats cross the gulf of reach the border with platinum, and then start the treacherous journey through the jungle there. because there are no roads between columbia and platinum, i the asked to go through varian gap, the so called area. and the gap a very, very at tick jungle, that is no torrijos for being under the control of creaming all groups. so it's a very, very, very difficult situation, and these are people that are already exhausted by weeks of traveling. most of them are from haiti. they had already resettled in south america, many after the earthquake that rattle the country back in 2010. the effects on the economy of covey, the restrictions of now push them to try and move further, know, or try to reach the united states. but for the moment, most of them are back here. and i listened to the people speaking. they're the ones that you have been speaking to tell us a little bit about their determination and how aware are they of the issues that they'll phrase thought just crossing the barry and got but also when they arrive at the us border, where they are likely to face a hostile reception of the people we've been able to talk to so far are telling us that they are considering now, given the fact that the us are returning people to haiti, if indeed it is worth it to try and continue the journey. many say that they would like a lease to reach a mexico see if they can stay there from there, they'll be able, maybe later on that to cross into the united states. the other people don't, are indeed concerned by that situation are now thinking of going back to the countries where they had to resettle the last america. we spoke to the mayor's office here in the neck of chloe. and they said that they have now spoken to a few 1000 people that are in the thinking of going back. the issue is that for how many people you might have that are now thinking of going back more or coming here and remain that sermons to continue their journey despite the fact that they know that they have to cross that in grap. and then they also will have difficulty getting into mexico and then the risk of that for patients in the united states. i listened to m p p there in nicole, clean columbia. thank you. the united nations has condemned the killing of a prominent hanging muslim leader in bangladesh. police say the more he died on wednesday after being shot by a group of gunman in the cox's bazaar refugee camp. it was an outspoken activist and community spokesman. nearly a 1000000 or hangers have fled to bangladesh since me and my military crack down, back in 2017. still to come here on al jazeera leak research, put facebook back in the hope, steve. this time over the harmful effects of instagram on the mental health of children. and the 96 year old woman goes on the run over allegations that she helped the nazis as a teenager. ah hello there, there's more wet and windy weather to end the week across europe, especially in the north as that autumn weather continues to sweep in, but it is looking dwyer and finer across central and southern areas with long spells of sunshine. but on friday, as we look for the north west and got wet and windy weather sweeping into britain, an island, stronger rain and from heavy showers, and that feeds into the wet and windy weather, blowing into scandinavia come saturday. we are seen some heavy rain shimmy into southern parts of england. isn't remain rather unsettled for london as we go into the weekend. but by the time we get to sunday, we will have some sunshine breaking through the cloud for the central area that is looking rather cloudy for france. so we are seeing some sunshine ahead of that wet weather that comes into play as we move into saturday. we're also seeing some heavy showers across parts of italy and greece, but it does dry up on saturday, but that brisk wind will remain blowing down the black sea into some of those greek islands. but for the bearing peninsula, it is looking a lot finer and dryer, across sensual areas, lots of sunshine coming through for madrid, and the heat continues to build in the south with 30 degrees in corda. the most people will never know what's beyond these doors. the deafening silence of 100000. how it feels to touch danger every day. most people will never know what it's like to work with. every breath is precious. with fear, it's not an option. but we're not. most people o a reminder now the top stories on al jazeera, ethiopia is expelling 7 senior un officials saying they are meddling in its internal affairs. this comes a day after the un humanitarian chief accused the government of stopping aid to the t drive region. former french president nicholas cosy, has been given a one year jail sentence that were being found guilty of illegal campaign financing . he sent the sentence confined to his own, and more than 22000 refugees and migrants are stuck in a colombian town, waiting for smugglers to help them cross the panama. only a few 100 can catch a boat each day. the u. s. senate has passed the short term spending bill, but now needs to clear the house of representatives within hours to avoid a government shut down. the measure passed comfortably in array or show of cross party unity. existing federal funds expire at midnight local time. that's that for g m p on friday. well, why does your cache to join us live now from washington dc. so heidi, assuming the bill passes in the house, how much time does this actually buy them? not very much time, barbara and that vote is ongoing. now in the house, it is a bill that is expected to pass much before the midnight deadline, but that only gives the government until december, 3rd, funding at which point will be back at this point. again, to negotiate either an extension of that funding or a greater spending bill. but this is only one of the 2 fires that congress is attempting to put out there is yet another threat that is still looming and potentially a bigger one. and that is coming up on october 18th, when the us will reach its debt ceiling. what that means is that at that point, the us will no longer be able to borrow more money to pay its bills. that has never happened before in history. and economists are saying, if that does happen, it could be disastrous, throwing the us economy into recession and echoing across global markets, the us treasury secretary, janet yellen, once again issued a star warning today. it's necessary to ver, catastrophic event for economy representatives. the debt 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, and to build a stronger american economy for future generations. and heidi, another massive piece of legislation on the table as president biden's infrastructure bill. will that vote go ahead? that is still planned for the house today. barbara, though the fate of that bill is very much in question, because not only is this infrastructure bill at stake, but progressive democrats wants the entirety of president biden's domestic agenda in the form of his build back better plan to also pass and back. they want that bill, which is much bigger than the infrastructure bill, but it's companion, they want that to be voted on 1st. now moderate, so are bulking at the price of that package there. they don't agree with the tax hikes and the 3 and a half trillion dollars that it requires. it is the president's vision to expand careful education. capital climate change would be the biggest government expansion in a decade. now those 2 wings of the democratic party are now feuding among themselves . and the future of this infrastructure bill is at stake. it's being used as leverage by the progressive to get the big or spending bill approved as well. so whether or not it is still voted on this evening is to be determined whether or not it would pass or if inder fighting within the democratic party kills it. that could be a possibility, which would be an embarrassment, not only for the bite administration, but also for democrats. and it could be something that voters dislike and might harm democrats. chances of holding on to congress come next year's congressional election, or how do you know you'll be monitoring all development for us there. but for the moment heidi show castro, with the latest from washington d. c. thank you. will staying in the us? facebook has insisted it's product do help young people, even though the company's own research found it could harm them. that take giant global safety chief told the u. s. senate hearing that it monitors how children use its products to quote, minimize the bad and maximize the good. now the firm has been accused of ignoring its own study that was leaked to the media a few days ago on the negative impact of instagram on young people's mental health it since put the project on hold. following heavy criticism, i know that we have released a number of the reports and we are looking to find ways to really lease more of this research. i want to be clear that this research is not a bombshell. it's not causal research. it's in fact just to get for a product this, this research is a bombshell. it is powerful gripping riveting evidence that facebook knows of the harmful effect of its site on children and that it has conceal those facts and findings. practical have has been following the hearing and has more now from washington. this whistleblower turned over the wall street journal. facebook, the own research on the impact instagram has on teams. and here just a couple of the headlines from their own slides. we make body image issues worse for one in 3 girls. teen girls, one in 5 to instagram makes them feel worse about themselves. here's another headline, teens who struggle with mental health. the instagram makes it worse again. this is facebook who owns instagram? this is their research, this is them putting this on paper for internal distribution. so then the wall street journal gets it. facebook responded several days later, just last night, saying here are the slides. just annotation saying the slides don't really say what you think. they say that this isn't meant the research was meant to show a consent to show a casual relationship, a causal relationship. and so what we're hearing now did that's the reason for the hearing. so they have this vice president of security, and he's basically telling senators exactly what we'll get. instagram said, look, yes, this is the research, but it doesn't. it's not as bad as you think it is. she went on to say, this isn't a bombshell report. sen blumenthal said, of course it's a bombshell report, and so they've been going back and forth. she's been fairly good at not answering their questions when they say, well, the research that you have says that she was, i wouldn't characterize it that way. and then the centers are responding saying, but it's your own research. so all of this is going to possibly lead to a new regulations on not just instagram facebook but also show media on how they market to children. is really forces of shell dead, 3 palestinians in separate incidence. a woman was killed and the or alexa all skin occupied east jerusalem after allegedly trying to stab officers while a 22 year old man died during dawn. raids in the occupied. westbank is really officials say i last there you that was shot after an exchange of gunfire. harry force has more now from west jerusalem. it has been a pretty violent day already. these 3 deaths in different locations, starting with that one in occupied these truce

that she was challenged by is really security forces at a checkpoint at the chain gate which leads into the r audi ways of the old city. and at that point, she produced a knife and was shot emergency services arriving sometime later pronouncing her dead at the scene. we've seen images of what looks like a kitchen, mike, a black handled kitchen light being taken away, as evidenced by israeli police. earlier there was this operation by israeli military or these registry forces in the occupied west bank in the village of booking, near jeanine israeli forces say that they were shot at by at least one palestinian individual. and that they returned fire against this 22 year old man who palestinian health ministry. so say was shot 4 times and was killed. palestinians had, has claimed him as one of their own. this is not the 1st such violence incident that we've seen it around jeanine in recent days and weeks. of course, the prisoner escape that we saw earlier in the month. those prisoners were from the janine area that ended with the, the final 2 prisoners being arrested engineering. but there has been quite a lot of, of gunfire and confrontation in and around that city. in recent days, police in germany have arrested a 96 year old woman accused of nazi war crimes. after she went on the run. when she was you in court. m god, that force nor is charged with aiding and abetting the murder of thousands of prisoners that a concentration camp in poland during the 2nd world war, she worked as a typist at a camp for 2 years at the end of the war. dominic kane has more now from berlin. the defendant involved here had asked the juvenile court, which is the court that she, that she will now face trial in she'd asked to be taught to be tried in absent here . in other words, that she didn't have to be there that her defense council would be there for her. and the court said, no, that can't be done. you've got to come to court. she didn't, therefore, a warrant was put out for her arrest. and then she was apprehended, interesting that it took the german forces of law and order as it were. the authorities just a few hours to operate hand her today, when they knew about her existence about her testimony in previous trials for the best part of 67 years. this defendant has appeared in 2 different trials relating to different individuals who she would have interacted with during her time in the concentration camp at should. tough and given chapter and verse, as it were testimony about what she had seen, what she had hers, what she had witnessed, the documents that she would have would have come across would have been on her desk. and that sort of thing. in the course of her job as a to know griffin, as a typist for the common dance of the camp, off stood horse where she was for the best part of 3 years. it's the problem she faces is that that very evidence that she gave in previous court cases is now makes up the lion's share of the evidence that prosecutors wanted to bring against her when the trial will start. ah, the top stories now on al jazeera, if you is expelling 7 senior united nations officials, after accusing them of meddling in
