Senate republicans promised to vote on that by next month. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the latest. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, the shutdown may be over, but congress bought itself just 2 1 2 weeks before the money is set to run out again.

The yeas are 266 and the reporter with backtoback votes to reopen the government the motion to concur is agreed to. Reporter congress crawled out of a hole it dug itself. This is not a moment to pat ourselves on the back, not even close. We very much need to heed the lesson of what just happened here.

The issue of immigration, the issue of the dreamers is the civil rights issue of our time. Reporter the white house argued democrats gained little from their hard ball strategy. I would say that those numbers are much more in the president s favor than in senator schumers favor.

Some of your fellow progressives thought you should have held out for more. I think we got a good deal. Reporter connecticuts Richard Blumenthal disagreed.

Crafting a compromise that pairs dreamer protection with more border security. I pray that neither i nor the congress will be in this same position come february 8th. Reporter 16 calendar days translates into just six legislate ev day or days for an that has stymied congress for decades. One bright spot in this new spending bill particularly for democrats is that it reinstates the Childrens Health Insurance Program or chip for six years. All right, nancy, thank you.

You could see the pain and anger in the room. What was it like . Take us inside. Ive been following this for a year and this brought my understanding to a whole other level. What you could not see from home was looking at the audience, the faces, the devastation, the tears, the anger. And one father addressing nassar director, fury. This moment where a young woman was testifying and giving her statement and behind her her parents. At one moment, she got so emotional, she had to halt and stop and her mother just reached out and touches. Wow. I will tell you, its uplifting too because i spoke to a bunch of the women afterwards. They were hugging each other. They were supporting each other physically and emotionally. And i asked several of them, what was it like listening to each others statements . Immediately, the answer, empowering. Does nassar have children . I think he has three children. Hes married. This is just all hard to comprehend. It is. Your reporting has been incredible. Thank you, jon, thank you. A 6yearold in West Virginia is among the latest victims of the deadly flu epidemic. It is the first pediatric flu death in the state in three years. West virginias department of Health Confirmed the death yesterday. According to recent data, there have been more than 30 child flu deaths so far this season. That compares to an estimated 21 at this time last year. The virus is now widespread in 49 states. Children and elderly adults are the most vulnerable to flu complications. Our dr. Tara narula is here with how to keep your kids healthy. Why are children more at risk . Were talking about all children but in particular children under 5. And even more so children under 2. Why is that . Their immune systems are still developing. They play in close contact constantly with each other. And they dont practice the best hygiene. They dont have the best methods of washing hands, et cetera. The Biggest Issue is in this country we know on average only 60 of kids are vaccinated for the flu. We also have data that tells us that 80 of the children historically who died from the flu have been unvaccinated. A recent study that said you can actually decrease the flu deaths in 50 by vaccinating children. So what should you do if you think your child has the flu . I think you need to call your doctor. Speak to them and say this is whats going on, should i bring my child in to be examined. Your doctor can assess whether they would be a candidate for ant antiviral medications. One thing we teach, you know, i teach my residents is you need to be aggressive about acting quickly. If you start to see signs of deterioration. Parents need to know warning signs. Is the child breathing faster. Are they more short of breath. Do they look a little blueish . Are they listless or lethargic. Its also frightening because so many people have gotten a flu shot, are still getting the flu. Is there an explanation about why that happens . We know that the flu virus changes. It changes from the time they pick the strain to put in the vaccine a year ago. It also changes during the production even of the vaccine. So there are multiple different strains. But we know that it is still beneficial to get the vaccine. How do you keep it from spreading . Right, so parents, keep your kids home until theyre fever free off medication for 24 hours. Make sure youre vaccinated as a parent. Clean the utensils and towels. Dont let kids share them. You want to teach your kids about hand washing. About using sanitizer. Not kissing and hugging each other when theyre sick. Sneezing into their arm or coughing into their arm. Using tissues. Lots of great hygiene practices. All right, doctor, thanks.
