and a dire warning from local leaders after a major oil spill off the california coast. live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with michael holmes. >> with the u.s. finally seeing some positive trends in the fight against covid-19, officials are urging americans not to let their guard down, especially with the holiday season fast approaching. the cdc has released new guidelines for the holidays, saying the most important thing you can do to stay safe is get vaccinated, of course. the agency is also encouraging people to mask up in areas with high transmission rates. and consider virtual celebrations rather than in-person gatherings. meanwhile, in new york city, public school employees who have not been vaccinated will not be allowed back on monday. unvaccinated employees could be placed on unpaid leave until next september. some teachers are challenging the policy in court. but on friday, they failed to convince the u.s. supreme court to halt enforcement while the case plays out. for the first time in months, new covid cases and hospital admissions in the u.s. are on the decline. and on sunday, dr. anthony fauci said the u.s. appears to be turning a corner. but he warned americans against getting too complacent. saying millions more still need to get vaccinated. paula sandoval has more. >> reporter: the united states may be turning the corner with the covid surge, but more people need to get vaccinated. that's the word from dr. anthony fauci over the weekend, as the united states surpassed 700,000 deaths. dr. anthony fauci said more still needs to be done. the latest cdc numbers showing 56% of americans are fully protected right now against the virus through ta vaccine. he expressed some concern with the new treatment for covid, and many of those unvaccinated americans may choose to bypass getting the vaccine. >> you heard the numbers. it decreased the risk, this pill did, of hospitalizations and death by 50%. you know the way to decrease the risk by 100%? don't get infected in the first place. >> reporter: the maker of that anti viral says the product can potentially cut the risk of death and hospitalizations by nearly half. they're planning to submit the product to the fda as soon as possible. polo sandoval, cnn, new york. joe biden has a busy week ahead. in the coming hours, he'll speak about the need to raise the debt ceiling. and on tuesday, he heads to michigan to rally for support for a pair of multi-trillion dollar bills. the infrastructure bill vote has been pushed to the end of the month. and progressive democrats insist it will not pass unless they get the even larger spending bill across the finish line as well. so here's where things stand right now. the white house offering a compromise with just a number of just over $2 trillion. but there's no indication yet if moderates like joe manchin, who wanted $1.5 trillion, are willing to go that high. or if progressives, who already compromised down from $3.5 trillion, will agree with that number. here's suzanne malveaux. >> reporter: nancy pelosi pressing pause on these high stakes, fast-paced negotiations between the warring factions of her own party. now issuing a new deadline of october 31st for a vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill. she said in a letter issued on saturday, that they did not have the support that they needed more time, more democrats to get on to vote for the infrastructure bill. along with the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package that the president is pushing for. and despite multiple visits from the president, they were not able to come up with a figure they could agree on. senator joe manchin said $1.5 trillion is what he's looking at. but the chair of the progressives in the democratic caucus say that's not even close. >> it's too small. it will be somewhere between 1.5 and 3.5. and i think the white house is working on that right now. remember, what we want to deliver is child care, paid leave, climate change. >> yeah. >> reporter: while this new deadline gives the progressive democrats more time to negotiate, there's real frustration from democrats like kyrsten sinema, and there are some republicans who are now beginning to say, yes, that might in fact be the case. they're using this division within the democratic party to make a case that the party is incompetent. but they're also saying that they have leverage that perhaps some of the republicans will withdraw their support for that bipartisan infrastructure bill. >> when that bipartisan bill passed a 50/50 senate, it had 69 votes. it was a lot of momentum on its side. in any kind of a normal world, that would have been signed into law by the president. this was two months ago. >> reporter: progressive democrats say they're reticent to talk about the final number on the reconciliation bill, the cost of it. they say they would rather talk about the issues, the priorities, the programs they've like to fund first. but they're in a situation that might take more time and be more difficult than talking about dollars and cents. suzanne malveaux at the capitol. japan has confirmed a new prime minister, fumio kishida. taking control of the economy as well as managing the pandemic and challenges like north korea. he emerged in a hotly contested election last week. tell me how differently this new prime minister might govern, especially because he has an election coming up almost immediately. >> kishida is expected to be the status quo pick. his cabinet is set to be aides of former prime minister abe. and he's going to be the face of the ruling liberal democratic party that has faced heavy criticism for the leadership of outgoing prime minister suga. he was criticized for his handling of the olympics and covid-19. and while the ldp is expected to maintain its dominance, the risk is that it could weaken if kishida is not able to excite the voters. he is an ex-foreign minister, a political veteran. but he's struggled to shake off the image of just another boring politician. but ultimately, they went with him, who is seen as a safe and stable choice as prime minister. he campaigned on boosting the incomes of the middle and lower class, and on spending billions to boost the japanese economy. domestically, one of his biggest challenges will be keeping covid-19 cases low. japan has dealt with multiple waves, multiple surges in infections. finally, it's starting to exit the state of emergency and restrictions are being slowly lifted. on foreign policies, his key challenges will be dealing with growing risks from north korea and china. he's expected to support a strong u.s./japan alliance and with other allies to form a bulwark against china. the business community will closely watch how he navigates and balances the growing military -- of china. >> for many complicated issues, he's not the strongest leadering in the ruling party of ldp. i'm so concerned about the revolving prime minister system. >> reporter: the big question in japan is how long kishida will remain as prime minister. prior to abe, japan cycled through six prime ministers in six years. >> selina, thanks so much. a facebook whistle-blower is speaking out publicly, accusing them of putting profit over public good. a former project manager says the social media giant knows its platforms are used to spread hate, violence, and misinformation. and she says instagram, which facebook bought in 2012, makes eating disorders and thoughts of suicide worse in teenage girls. it's hiding all of this evidence in order to protect its profits. here's more from "60 minutes" and its report. >> reporter: evidence of harm, she says, extends to facebook's instagram app. one of the facebook internal studies that you found talks about how instagram harms teenage girls. >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: one study says 13.5% of teen girls say instagram makes thoughts of suicide worse. 17% of teen girls say instagram makes eating adddisorders worse >> what is super tragic, facebook's own research says, as the young women consume the eating disorder content, they get more depressed, and they use the app more. they are in this feedback cycle where they hate their bodies more and more. facebook's own research says, it is not just dangerous and harms te teenagers, it's worse than other forms of social media. >> reporter: facebook said last week they would postpone plans to create an instagram for younger children. at least eight complaints were filed with the securities and exchange commission, comparing the internal research with the company's public face, often that of ceo mark zuckerberg. here, testifying to congress last march. >> we have removed content leading to real-world harm, andiand implemented a fact checking program. >> facebook released a statement saying on sunday, cbs "60 minutes" ran a segment that used select company materials to tell a misleading story about the research we do to improve our p products. the segment disregards the significant investments we make to keep people safe on our platform. let's bring in mike isaac of "the new york times." among the many things the whistle-blower said was that the version of facebook that exists today is tearing our societies apart and causing ethnic violence around the world. just how damning are these allegations? >> this is pretty much one of the biggest if not the biggest research dumps of internal facebook data i've ever seen. they've had people churn through as leakers over the world, and express different kinds of dissatisfaction. but it's been story after story, whether it's human trafficking and drug dealing and money laundering on the platform. or instagram harming children, or a different two-tiered system for people on the platform. so it really is the most sustained set of crises they've been in for some time. >> and the company says she tells a misleading story, and impugns facebook. what do you make of the response? i know you said one thing they're doing is hunting down leakers. >> that's right. it's hard to -- to be fair to facebook, it's hard to tell an entire story of very granular research in a headline and small summation of a story. we're talking about thousands of pages of internal documents, slides, research. their argument is, we're taking this blunt approach to very nuanced stuff. that's true, but they don't directly refute a lot of these assertions that are made. particularly because it's their own research that is being presented. >> that's a really good point. congress has more than once expressed concerns about social media companies and facebook in particular. can we expect these latest allegations to garner more political attention? >> i'm curious about that. on tuesday in the united states, we have a hearing in front of senators, and we'll see at least this whistle-blower testify. you know, i would have said, you know, i would have thought it was a certainty maybe we'll see regulation and momentum. but 2018, around cambridge analytica, after the hearings, no bills made their way into law. >> good point. and as the whistle-blower herself said, i think it's a fair question, facebook is all about profits. she said will advertisers and investors care about any of this? it's a good question, isn't it. >> absolutely. last summer, there was an advertiser boycott called by some groups that seemed to last about a few weeks. but ultimately, facebook ended up posting record profits and making more money than it ever has before. it's very difficult to convince wall street investors as well as advertisers to change their minds. especially when facebook has such a stranglehold on how digital digital advertising works in the first place. so they're stuck with buying facebook ads, for better or worse. >> did facebook take any concrete steps when these allegations and concerns were raised about the negative impacts of facebook and instagram? what did they do about it? >> yeah, so, one of the things they've been saying, and sort of maintaining is, look, this is our own research. part of this is so we can change the products and make them better over time. and to be fair, they've taken some steps. part of the impetus for creating instagram kids is to put more safeguards around the app. but none of this research would have seen the light of day unless we had this leaker, whistle-blower, come through and put it out there. and facebook will always have the sort of incentive to present their best face to the public and say, here's all the good things that we're doing without really wanting us to know the actual costs of the platform in society. >> great analysis. mike isaac, thanks so much. appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. north korea picks up the phone after more than a year of radio silence with south korea. the north reopened a hotline between the two countries. but

>> reporter: well, the second question, michael, is really an impossible one to answer. we have seen the hotline being restored and then cut off once again by pyongyang to show its displeasure at seoul. so it's really used quite often by north korea to show that they are angry about something. as you say, back in june of last year, it was cut off, and in fact the liaison office between north and south korea was blown up by north korea because they were unhappy with south korea. it was reinstated briefly in july of this year. they did start these hotlines once again, but they only lasted a couple of weeks before north korea cut them off once again, saying that they were angry at the u.s./south korean military drills going ahead. so it is positive news that they are being reconnected. we know that south korean officials have spoken to the north korean officials on these hotlines this morning, but we don't know how long it will last. we did hear what the south korean official said. quote, it's been a while, and i'm glad that the communication lines have been restored like this. i hope the inter-korean relations can develop into a new era now the communication line has been restored. certainly seoul is putting a positive spin on it, and it was the north korean leader himself, kim jong-un, who floated the idea last week of these hotlines being reinstated. we've also been hearing from north korea that they advised south korea to abandon, quote, double standards and delusion, saying that north korea has the right to test weapons, to self-defense, especially at a time when we're seeing south korea testing its own missiles. we have seen a number of missile tests from pyongyang in the last week, in the last few weeks, including a hypersonic missile, what they call strategic cruise missiles, also anti-aircraft missiles. so we have seen an uptick in the amount of new weapons testing coming from north korea, and yet at the same time, we are seeing this reconnection between north and south. michael? >> indeed. paula, thanks for the reporting there in seoul. paula hancocks for us. the u.s. is urging beijing to de-escalate after reports the mainland keeps sending warplanes into taiwan's air defense identification zone. taiwan officials say they saw a record number of incursions on friday and saturday. the self-governing island scrambling its own aircraft and air defenses in response. for the latest developments, let's bring in cnn's will ripley, who is live for us in taipei. tell us about the reaction, the u.s. reaction, and the risks being that actions and rhetoric ramp up even further. >> reporter: well, there certainly is growing concern if some sort of miscalculation that could lead to a military conflict. that is, you have a large number of chinese aerial hardware in the skies, uncomfortably close to taiwan, at least from the perspective of the leadership here. i'll show you the list of what flew into taiwan's self-declared air defense identification zone from friday to sunday. a total of 93 chinese warplanes, including 80 fighters, 4 bombers, 5 anti-submarine aircraft, and 4 early warning aircraft. you have a statement that is now out from the u.s. state department talking about american concerns in this region, saying, quote, the united states is very concerned by the people's republic of china's provocative military activity near taiwan, which is destabling risks, miscalculations and undermines peace and stability. we urge beijing to cease its coercion against taiwan. the u.s. commitment to taiwan is rock solid and contribute -- we'd love to get a response from beijing but they're in the middle of a holiday period. more than 70 years since the founding of the people's republic of china. a lot of analysts think this intimidation of taiwan as they view it here is actually a propaganda message for the audience in the mainland to project strength at this time, that the chinese communist party is celebrating more than 70 years ruling the mainland. of course they also extended their claims of sovereignty to taiwan itself. they've claimed this island ever since the end of china's civil war. the government here, democratically elected, rejects those claims and says the chinese communist party and the people's republic of china has never ruled this island, even though they have a territorial claim over it, taiwan rejects that, michael. >> real quick, you've spent a lot of time in taiwan of late. i'm curious what the average citizen there thinks of china and its claims on taiwan and what china's long-term goal might be. >> reporter: it's more divided than you might think in terms of the pro-beijing camp and the pro-current government, the pro-taipei camp if you will. it's hard to find somebody here in taiwan who wants to be taken over by the mainland, who wants the authoritarian system, the internet censorship, the lack of human rights and all the things that come with being ruled by the mainland. but you will find a lot of people here who support a return to, in their view, more sustainable cross-state relations, dialing back the rhetoric, trying to work together, trying to find common ground, trying to cooperate economically. there certainly is significant economic benefit for any country that plays by china's rules. but for those who feel the government should take a harder line stance and push back against china, they think that president xi has changed the equation in that if you give china just an inch, they'll take a foot in terms of what they're going to expect from taiwan. and so there really is quite a division here in terms of people that want to work with china, people that want to push back and distance themselves even further from china, and a lot of people after watching what happened in hong kong really don't have a whole lot of trust in the mainland's motives at this stage. >> yeah. great reporting. cnn's will ripley there in taipei for us. quick break here on the program. when we come back, california might have a new environmental disaster on its hands after an oil spill near los angeles. what we're learning about an investigation into the spill coming up. also a young mother shot by a school safety officer is on life support, and her family say the officer's actions were not justified in any way. we'll be right back. renters get into new homes than any other site?

coast of southern california. thousands of barrels of oil have been poured into the ocean after a leak in a pipeline discovered on saturday. divers have been inspecting a stretch of pipeline spanning 17 miles, or about 27 kilometers, hoping to find the exact source of the spill. officials now say the leak appears to have stopped, but the threat to areas near los angeles far from over. for more on this, i'm joined by meteorologist pedram javaheri. what are you seeing in terms of where this is headed, pedram? >> yeah. you know, michael, this is a very different setup than what we saw in 2010 with the spill in the gulf of mexico because that was raw crude. what we're looking at as the tar arrives on the coastal communities, newport beach, huntington beach, this is more of a post-production oil. it's a lot less dense. it certainly is a lot more readily spread with the winds across this region, certainly the shores as well, the offshore winds that can push some of this toward the coastal communities we've begun to see that take shape in the last several hours. the area of coverage sitting at 8,300 acres, or a little over 3,000 hectares. that is larger than the city of santa monica as far as how much area of water it encompasses. it is a pretty expansive area of spill that has taken place. going in for a closer perspective, we know of at least 23 oil rigs that are offshore in southern california. some of them have been decommissioned. a lot of them have been there since the 1960s into the 1970s. elliest one of concern. it sits about nine miles or 15 kilometers offshore. in that area of polygons, that is where we have the several oil rigs that are in place. the red lines, those are indicative of the pipelines that michael kind of referenced being about 17 miles or 27 kilometers. that stretches all the way to long beach, california, and it is in that northern red line right there where we've had the spill, where we've had the essentially jeopardized part of the pipeline that has led to this spill that has taken place. important to know when it comes to all of this and what has taken place, of course we've seen this happen in years past, most recently in southern california back in 1990. some 400,000 plus gallons spilled at that time. in 1969, 3 million gallons spilled. you'll notice across this region, not only quite a bit of wildlife that we've talked about, the ecological damage potential, when you look offshore in this region of southern california, one of the most productive fish habitats in the world, studies have shown that about 27 times greater fish production happens offshore here than most areas with similar depth around the world. so, again, potential very high here to see widespread damage with the oil spill in place there. >> it's just dreadful. pedram, thank you. pedram javaheri there. appreciate it. now, the family of a young mother shot by a school safety officer is planning to take her off life support. police say 18-year-old mona rodriguez was shot in the head after getting into a physical altercation with a 15-year-old girl near a california high school campus. natasha chen has more details on what unfolded. >> reporter: 18-year-old mona rodriguez has lost all brain function and is being taken off life support according to her family. she leaves behind her 5-month-old baby. her family's attorney says she was shot in the head by a school safety officer on september 27th. investigators say 18-year-old rodriguez and a 15-year-old were fighting outside them millikan high school campus. the school safety officer intervened. then police say rodriguez got in the front passenger seat of this gray sedan. a warning, this cell phone video taken by a student can be disturbing. it shows the car starting to leave and the school safety officer can be heard firing. >> he has his gun. no! get down. no! >> i don't think my girlfriend deserved this, you know. it was all for no reason. he never told us anything. all we did is just got in the car and left. >> reporter: rodriguez's 20-year-old boyfriend, who is also the father of her 5-month-old child, was driving the car. his 16-year-old brother said he was in the back seat. the brother said the school safety officer had only warned about using pepper spray. >> he said that when the two females were fighting, if they don't stop, that he's going to pepper spray, which they stopped. >> reporter: a vigil was held outside long beach memorial hospital this week where rodriguez's heartbroken family demanded justice. long beach police, who were not involved in this shooting, are investigating along with the los angeles county district attorney's office. family attorney lewis carrillo is also calling for the california attorney general to investigate. >> everybody is upset that a rogue officer did this ugly thing that he did, shot at an 18-year-old young lady, and is still walking the streets. this officer should be in jail right now. >> reporter: school safety officers are employees of the district, not of any police department according to long beach unified school district. the public information director said the safety officer had been employed since january of this year and had completed more than 600 hours of state-required peace officer training and twice-yearly firearms training. the officer is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation, the school district said. >> she might have been doing something she wasn't supposed to, but she was unarmed, and she was already fleeing. there was no reason for that cop to fire. >> reporter: long beach unified school district shared its use of force policy with us. it says school safety officers have the duty to use firearms only for self-defense or defense of others to prevent death or great bodily injury. also says officers shall not fire warning shots, shall not fire at a fleeing person, at a moving vehicle, or through a vehicle window unless, quote, circumstances clearly warrant the use of a firearm as a final means of defense. cheryl dorsey, a requtired los angeles police officer, saw the video and noted there were many children around who could have inadvertently been harmed by the gunfire. >> there is no imminent threat to that officer or anyone else as they're seated in a vehicle and driving away. get a license plate number. there were so many other options tactically available. >> reporter: instead, now a baby is left without his mother, and her family is left seeking answers. natasha chen, cnn, los angeles. there's much more to come here on cnn, including a look at the dangerous journey through the americas made by haitian migrants and many others in hope of finding a better life. and the head of an

will likely be put to the test because thousands of haitians are still attempting the dangerous trek to the u.s. from south america. >> reporter: trudging across rivers, up rocky slopes, and through gorges of mount, they cross nearly 100 kilometers of jungle. the terrain as much of a threat as criminal gains lurking inside. these haitians are among thousands in colombia continuing a perilous journey with a singular goal. the fear is there, says this haitian migrant, but it lasts for a minute or a half an hour, then goes away because of your motivation to reach the united states. francisco is following a route thousands of migrants are taking northwards. from colombia, they arrive by boat and then cross the jungle towards the panamanian border. most travel three to four days in that stretch of rainforest, partially controlled by criminal groups and traffickers who allegedly rob, rape, and assault some of those passing through. undeterred, thousands are braving the dangerous journey. many had migrated from haiti to south america years earlier. but increasingly strict immigration procedures are pushing them out of the countries where they had once settled. in recent months, easing pandemic travel restrictions has led to a surge in migrant traffic along the treacherous route. it's a continuing dilemma passed from one country to the next. in august, colombian panama agreed 500 migrants could cross through each day, but local officials say that quota is too low, leaving thousands stuck in cities and towns where resources are running out. >> translator: the people feel desperate because they can no longer get food. in addition, many migrants are running out of money. migrants have been more than a month in our municipality. the situation is unbearable and very complicated for us. >> reporter: it seems few places in latin america are well equipped to welcome haitian refugees, who are among scores of other migrants here also fleeing political upheaval, economic unrest, and violence at home. in recent years, millions have poured across the borders of venezuela, el salvador, honduras and elsewhere in the region while hundreds of thousands more have arrived from west africa. one of them is a chef from who migrated to chile to work as a gardner. when we first met several weeks ago, he was crossing the same stretch of jungle between colombian panama, determined to reach his final destination. where in the united states do you want to go? >> georgia. georgia. >> reporter: on september 15th, he messaged me saying he made it. he had crossed into the united states, but that was the last i heard from him. since then, he has been unresponsive. what became of his long journey, unclear. tracing his path, these migrants also face an uncertain fate as they desperately seek a better like, risking everything in hope they may find it. cnn, bogota. we're learning new and disturbing details ahead of a report into sexual abuse in the french catholic church set to be published on tuesday. the head of an independent commission says the number of pedophiles that have worked in the church over seven decades number in the thousands. cnn's cyril vanier has more from paris. >> reporter: france's catholic church has never known anything like this. a report on abuse within the church unprecedented in scope and scale. the headline, up to 3,200 pedophiles have worked in the french catholic church since 1950, and victims number in the thousands. that's according to the president of the independent commission on sexual abuse. now, the report, the result of the commission's 32 months of investigation, is described as extremely thorough, and it's set to publish tuesday and will contain a lot more damning details, numerous stories of abuse committed on children, and an investigation into how this was allowed to happen. one victim who testified before this commission was abused when he was 11 and says that the church is still in denial. separately, the head of a victims group warned that the report would hit like a tsunami and show the collective responsibility of the church. now, it is worth noting that this was initiated by the catholic church here, which has taken steps in recent years to prevent abuse. the conference of french bishops mandated an independent commission to look into the church's failings. the
