>> with ten days left until the potential government shutdown, the house fired the first shot in the battle over the budget. lawmakers passed a bill to keep the government running until mid december. but it takes money away from president obama i am momen imple health reform law. problem talked about the day's votes when he stopped at a ford plant in kansas city, missouri. >> i'm not going to allow anyone to harm this country's reputation. i'm not going to allow them to inflict economic pain on millions of people just so they can make an ideological point. but i need you to help. i need you to tell congress to

pay our bills on time. stop governoring from crisis to crisis. put our focus back on where it should be. on you. the american people. >> mike viqueira joins us live from washington, and mike, look. for the president i don't know if there is any hope of him getting any so-called grand bargain, but the question is there there any bargain available for this president from the house. >> reporter: most here on capitol hill have been talking to members and staff over the last few days. most believe that we're going to have a government shutdown at some point. it may be brief. it may be long, who knows. it may bring calamity. but it certainly looks dark right now. you saw the house of representatives working today. this debate, they've done it more than three dozen times,

tony, as the house g.o.p. but this time there is a catch. they funded the government beyond october 1st to defunding the president's healthcare law. the law known far and wide as obamacare. john boehner, the house leader, the speaker of the house, led a revolt. he did not want it to go this way. he wanteed to pass a clean spending bill. he faced a revolt. he ultimately went along and they held a rally to show unity. here's what john boehner had to say. >> at a time when the economy is barely eking along. new jobs aren't available, and what are we doing? we're putting more cost and inconvenience on the american people. it is time for us to say no. it's time to stop this before it causes any more damage to american families and american

businesses. >> reporter: here's the problem, tony, it's run by democrats. they dismissed it out of hand. the president, if it ever got that far, he would veto it. what is the point of all of this? democrats kept asking that question over and over again, including democrati democratic r nancy pelosi. >> this place is a mess. let's get our house in order. we are legislators, we have come here to do a job for the american people. and that job means we have to make government run for the good of the people. we are not here to expand government. but we're not here to eliminate government. if the idea is to limit government, let's work together to do that. >> reporter: okay, tony, we're ten days from a government shutdown. let's do a little ticktock. the senate is out. they come back on monday. by the time they take this up, go through through all the procedures and clear all the hurdles in the senate, and we do

expect a fill burster from senators like ted cruz of texas and mike lee from utah, the clock is ticking. there is going to be back and forth, and they'll take it right up to the edge and probably at this point they may go over. >> it's so interesting. many were asking what is the point of the vote in the house if the senate is not go to take it up. some may say, what is the point of the president going to missouri. op-ed? >> reporter: yes, this is what partly what the president does. this is two-fold. this trip was cycled in advance. you recall in late july, early august there were several trips. he talks about the economy, the bright spot of the economy, and we have a long way to go. we heard this from the white

house. the white house aides flagged us before the speech. he republicans think they're on solid political ground. >> there has to be some sanity in the halls of congress, i might be dead wrong, but what about the gang of six. >> reporter: you're referring to the six senators who tried to broker a compromise the last time we went through this exercise. this is not going to happen this time. this is out of their hands. perhaps we could conduct a college seminar on what is wrong with washington, but compromise has become a dirty word in washington. a lot of people won't deal, and again, you and i can hold court. >> let's start at the university of maryland. >> reporter: sure, i'm going along. >> mike viqueira on capitol hill. thank you. if congress does not reach an agreement in the next ten days to avert a shutdown only certain

agencies will be affected. social security, payments will go out on time. and doctors will get medicare, medicaid reimbursement, and border patrol and coast guard will still do their job and the postal service, which is self funded, will keep delivering the mail. using the five-day shutdown in 1995. here is a look at what will be impacted. 800,000 federal employees could be furloughed at national parks, museums and monuments will actually close. let's take you to colorado where state officials are tracking several oil and gas spills in the wake of the massive flooding there. state officials don't know if flooding was responsible for these spills. meantime, residents are returning to the hard hit town of lyons. they're finding plenty of damage

including homes filled with mud. in mexico the death toll is rising as they search for people missing after two storms battered the country. in acapulco searchers are looking for several missing after the mudslides. and aid is being delivered to some of those hard-hit areas. a super tie phone is on the radar. there is a tie phone barreling down on the philippines. it's one of the strongest storms of the area and its packing 137 mph winds and torrential rain. the massive storm is 160 miles wide. and we have the latest now from hong kong. >> reporter: well, in the philippines they're already making sure that villages are stocking up on provisions and

getting out of the most exposed areas. last year a typhoon hit the philippines and killed over a hundred people. the philippines will be first hit, then as the typhoon moves on, the southern part of taiwan will be hit. and at this stage it's on track to slam straight into hong kong where we are at the moment, on sunday. if that happens it will cause a lot more damage in the southern parts of china, an area already severely damaged by tropical storms this year. >> and hitting sunday ever wind speeds of only 110 mph. >> meteorologist: a very, very intense storm here with the very

low pressure recorded. i haven't seen pressure recorded this low in a storm since 1984. this was 12 mile 12 hours ago. the eye is surrounded by thunderstorms, very entense storm. when a storm is this intense you see them go through these cycles. it weakens and the eye wall will try to redevelop. that would intensify the storm. but it is down in intensity from where it was yesterday. now here's what is expected to happen over the next few days. right now its category 4 with winds 150 mph over the next 12 hours by 9:00 saturday this is local time. it will be passing over the philippines and then the next 12 hours it increases speed and weakens the bit. it goes from category 4, 3, to 2 as it passes through hong tongue. passing taiwan in the south and then saturday and sunday as it

approaches hong kong. it will be a very intense storm at category two, 110 mph. flooding, rain and wind will be big factors with this storm. we'll have to watch for any type of intensification as these storms normally do. we look at the tropics close to mexico. it looks like it will not impact mexico but it could impact the southeast united states. heavy rain and that's coming up with the national forecast. we'll look at that and the temperature changes a little bit later. >> thank you. it is a major move for the president talking about temperature changes. nurture natural gas plants will have to meet certain levels as well. >> epa today to address carbon

pollution from new power plants is a new step forward in this long clean energy journey. it is a necessary step to address a public health challenge that we all simply cannot afford to avoid any longer. >> and critics say getting tough with u.s. coal plants won't do too much to combat climate change. >> globally coal is the fastest growing form of energy. not by a little bit, but by a wide margin. in 2012 we saw coal used far faster in gross of natural gas. >> coal companies stocks failed today announcing the epa announcement. a multi million dollar bank heist. the suspects never set foot in the building. and technology out of james

three weeks after chicago saw an outburst of violence over the labor day vehicle. the company that did the background check vetted as a leaker edward snowden before he was granted a government security clearance. it is under investigation in just how thorough it's back rebound checks it has. it said that it did not handle navy yard shooting aaron alexis case. he had a history of.

>> she and more than 300 others all descendants of this woman, annie george, have called themselves nooksaks for decades and have officially accepted as a member for years. >> never showed up on the 1942 season cuss. >> reporter: disenrollment has a practical price. adalina and others would lose money for education, fishing and hunting rights and healthcare. she lives off the reservation or her house at least is safe but that's not the case for other family members who do live in tribal housing. there is not that much to the nooksak reservation. this is it. but the tribe does tout about 2,000 members.

those involved say the disenrealliment goes back a long way. many of annie george's descendants intermarried with filipinos and fishermen. >> many in this group don't like the filipinos. they tried to disenroll us once. they'll try to do it again. >> they're all taking sides against this family here. i don't like it. >> it's not a nooksack problem. this is a problem that many tribes have. >> reporter: he said di disenrollment case versus exploded in cases with 50 different tribes. they're often connected to casinos and a scramble to a bi bigger slice of the gambling pot. but this does not seem to be the case with the nooksack.

tribal council and tribal courts have the final say. the government has no jurisdiction. >> the tribes are accused of being vindictive. but the tribes say we have a continuing obligation to review our membership. that's what we're doing as responsible government officials. >> reporter: for adalina parker, this is a fight for identity and future. >> what are the children and grandchildren going to say to us elders, did we not fight hard enough? did they not mean enough for us to fight for them? >> reporter: the tribal council is definitely still fighting. fighting to eliminate nearly one-sixth of the nooksack nation. >> disenrollment hearings are on roll as the issue makes its way through the tribal appeals

court. we offered the nooksack tribal council an opportunity to provide a statement. they declined to be involved but in the past have denied that the disenrollment proceedings are based on race. >> massive layoffs are coming to blackberry. the struggling smart phone maker said it's slashing a third of its workforce and as a quarterly loss of a billion dollars. it once dominated the hand-held market but it has been flooded by other hand-held phones. agriculture is one of colorado's economic drivers, farmers say if the water does not drain by the next harvest season they could suffer hundreds of millions of dollars

in losses. making their mortgage payment is mor more of a prioriy for financially strapped homeowners. those who have trouble paying their bills or choosing to pay their mortgage over their credit card debt because rising home values give borrowers a sense, a reason to hold on to their homes. it is the friendly skies once more. it's bringing back its iconic tag line, fly the friendly skies, and starting this weekend united used the slogan from 1965 to 1996. the cost of grains and vegetables in india are on the rise, leaving poor indians to rely on organizations for a healthy meal. >> reporter: cooking for the masses. volunteers at this sikh temple in new delhi prepare lunch for tens of thousands devotees. the food is mostly donated and

provided free to anyone who comes. but with the cost of grains and vegetables at a thee-year high this service has never been more important. >> people can't survive because of the food situation. it doesn't make any difference to our politicians how expensive food has become. but i feel bad watching all this on television. when i come here i feel better because food is available 24 hours a day. >> reporter: about 20,000 people eat here every day. many are from poor or middle class backgrounds and are hardest hit by india's record inflation on food prices, which rose to 18 percent in august. the price of onion, a staple in the diet here have increased 250% in the last year. the government says it's part of a predictable economic cycle.

>> sometimes it goes up. sometimes it goes down. in the case of food. >> reporter: analysts say while late planting of crops and heavy summer rains have disrupted food supply the main problem is hoarding by private traders. they say there is plenty the government can do, but has failed to control prices. >> i think it is completely off the government that they can make such a statement. they can control the commodities market which leads to speculation in these prices. >> reporter: but for now there is little that people can do. the election is less than a year away in india. and like all over the world

people here are most concerned about their daily needs. the government is going to have to do something to reduce the rising cost of food if it wasn't twantsthe support of voters. >> eight men have about arrested in-done on charges of stealing $2 million on a cyberhike. the men conducted their online heist from a control room in central london. the group is suspected of tempting to rob another british bank last week. >> jess is here with a look at the sports headlines. >> reporter: you know what today, the second time seems to be the charge for andy pettitte. he said's going to retire following the yankees season. and it will be the second time

he has done so. pettitte won five championships and all-time leader with postseason wins at 19. speaking of the baseball postseason dodgers clenched their first division title for the first time since 2009, and they did it with a splash. the splash part, the diamondbacks didn't like that one. and emotions running high last night in philadelphia, but some sweet revenge for former eagle coach andy reid. he kept his record intact as kansas city beat his former team who fired him after 14 someones. someones--seasons. >> thank you. iran's new president reaching out it the united states. he is hinting that his country may be ready for constructive talks with the u.s. a closer look coming up.

>> welcome back to al jazeera. these are some of our top stories. iran's new president said he wants a constructive dialogue

with the west. hassan rouhani said that the nations need to seek outcomes other than new challenges. the struggling smart phone maker said it's cutting 4500 jobs and report a quarterly loss of a billion dollars. and today the house send a spending measure to fund to the middle of december. starting october first americans will be able to get federal subsidies for their health insurance thanks for the affordable care act. but the new healthcare exchange is a little confusing. >> reporter: americans will soon be able to travel to virtual shopping malls where they compare plans and buy coverage online. policies will come in four varieties, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. the better the melt metal, the e

premium the product. so what is best for you? it depends on what is most important. if you want generous benefits and don't mind higher monthly premiums you might want to look at gold and platinum plans. if monthly cost is important, then bonds an bronze may be theo go. the average bronze plan will run a little over $200 a month and cover 60% of your medical costs. the silver plan is prizeyer, but it covers 70% of those medical plans. gold covers 80% and platinum covers 90. that additional coverage might be important if you expect to head to the doctor often or just want more piece of mind.

>> that is from al jazeera's "real money with ali velshi." airs 7:00 eastern and 4:00 pacific. we have more on the president's healthcare law. joe, so good to talk to you. i guess the question that everyone seems to have these days, i'll pose it to you. do you think the healthcare exchanges will be ready to go, open for business on october 1st. >> oh, i can speak to california where every indication is that california will be ready to open. the things to remember is that there is not a rush for october 1st. there is enough insurance to go around for everyone. waiting a week or two weeks while perhaps some start-up kinks get worked out is just fine. as long as you get your applications completed by mid december you'll have coverage beginning january. >> i think this is an important

point. this will operate in the way that open enrollment has worked for years for anyone who is getting their health insurance from their employer. it is an enrolled season. it is not a situation where on october 1st you got to rush in because the doors close at midnight. >> no, that's right. coverage does not start until january 1st. at least incal you have to have your application completed with check in hand by mid december for that coverage. otherwise there is not an incredible rush on the first. the other thing that is really critical is that most of the population will keep the insurance it has. people on medicare will keep their medicare. people with job-based coverage will keep their job-based coverage. people with medicaid will keep that. this effects those who have not been able to get coverage previously or individual or small-group market where it

might be very expensive. not everyone has to rush to the exchange. >> do you have faith that the so-called navigators, the organizations, the ngos will be in place to explain coverage options to people on october 1st, and that the call system that is in place now will be operating in a way that it will be able to answer people's questions in a timely manner? >> there is some concern. it depends on state by state. as i said, i can speak to california. >> yes. >> much of what you're ree readg about are when the federal e changes are in effect. california has done an incredible job reaching out with materials, training groups, helping people along. they have a site with a calculator on it to see what is available. it's not only community-based organizations that will be out there helping people get

coverage. insurance agents have been doing this for years. this is their business. and they're eligible to help people through the exchanges or the marketplaces. >> one last question for you. i'm wondering how it is working this marriage of the state and the federal government. i know in some states the state and federal government are working together. is california going alone or is it working with the federal government. >> in the beginning it's federally funded, and then it will be funded by health plan contributions, those participating in it. there are federal regulations that control it, but it's definitely been a statement operated exchange, as there are in a number of or states. >> all right, joel, thank you for your time. a health policy expert joining us from san luis obispo, california. thank you for talking with us.

hassan rouhani is calling for a dialogue with the united states. it is an optimistic shift in the longstanding relationship of the two countries. rouhani writes, quote, a constructive approach to diplomacy does not mean relinquishing one's rights. it means engaging with one's counterparts on the basis of mutual respect. we must work together to end the unhealthy rivalries that drive us apart. here to discuss row tha rouhanis message. >> thank for having me. >> we never heard this tone, we certainly never heard it from former president ahmadinejad. president rouhani said he wants a constructive interaction with

the world. what do you make of this? >> i think it's a change in tone. it's a step. it's welcome. we did have a more positive tone than years ago. but what we have not seen is change in ira iranian reaction d policies to this point. they're still running ahead for rich uranium. if they wanted a civilian nuclear program that's achiev achievable in corporation with the iaea. so we have to see some changes there is. we still have iran supporting the government and syria, supporting hezbollah, playing a growing regional role in what is becoming the conflicts in the middle east. >> there were a lot of issues. if we stay focused on the

nuclear program for a moment. president rouhani said that they would not be building nuclear weapons. will the west be more willing to hear rouhani out whereas in the past ahmadinejad was essentially shut out? >> well, i think that's the wrong question. >> okay. >> the west has been willing to hear iran out for a decade. they've had meeting after meeting, you've had try lateral meetings, lower level meetings where the u.s. is directly involved with discussions with iran. throughout that time period iran has continued to build enter huges, build rich uraniu uranium, and the only explanationers peters can find

is that they're building up the capacity to have a nuclear weapon, maybe a break out level. that have got to do an enter job of persuading what they're doing. >> if i bush back just a little bit here. >> yes. >> the new president says he has the full authority t authority e an agreement with the west. do you believe him on that? >> well, another part of this op-ed is that they have the right to negotiate on their own. that is not going to be the basis for a transassistan trans. this is useful, it could create openings that weren't there by

ahmadinejad. >> give us something to look for. what would be significant for you? if this were happening next week, what would be significant? >> with if he came to new york with concrete proposals about the program that were opening up to the iaea, that's the international body in charge of overseeing production o recover- >> former u.s. ambassador to n.a.t.o. pleasure talking to you. >> thank you. >> attacks in yemen i. the ye yemeni government said tt

the explosions by al-qaeda. >> reporter: dozens of soldiers and policemen were killed in a string of suicide-bombings. these were the first to gather at the site of the suicide-bombing in the military camp. they say the attackers are from a group affiliated with al-qaeda. only a few weeks ago a bomb ripped through this bus. it was carrying soldiers. two were killed. dozens injured. last year it was the worse attack in yemen. a suicide-bomber snuck through the parade and detonated explosives. afterwards the government launched a major offensive to recapture areas controlled by

al-qaeda. the u.s. stepped in intensifying attacks against the group using unmanned aerial drones. al-qaeda and the arabian peninsula are considered by the u.s. and its allies in the region to be the most dangerous al-qaeda off shoot. remains active in the mountains and it is led by this man, a yemeni who has close ties to al-qaeda's former leader osama bin laden. but many think this is the group's most powerful man, considered the military leader. >> irairaqis who worked with the u.s. military in pu 2003 could e

shut out of the u.s. permanently. thousands of iraqis who served as interpreters could be left stranded in iraq. >> reporter: there is an u unbreakable bond between military men that you tend not to find among civilians. and this may be why. tim and his iraqi interpreter were tarted several times. fallah now retired from service asked us not to use his last name. >> reporter: what do you do when you've been blown up and you survive. >> it's an every day our republicans. >> reporter: working with the u.s. army in iraq was okay for him at first but then got dicey. one of their sons were hurt when the car was blown up in the driveway of their home so when fal lah wanted to bring his

family to the u.s. tim pulled out all the stops for iraqis who worked with and for the u.s. >> we could not, capital n, capital o, capital t we could not have accomplished our mission without him and his fellow interpreter interpreters. there have been visas applied for but they have only passed 25% of them lawyers working on behalf of iraqis who worked on the u.s. military and are still seeking visas say thousands of them could soon be shout out

completely. >> this wouldn't be the potential catastrophe that it is if the homeland security had administered this program expeditiously and efficiently when the legislation was passed. now we're in a position where men and women who served as honorbly as our own troops are potentially in threat of death. >> reporter: tim said looking after those who risked their lives and their family's lives for americans should be number one priority for the government. >> darn it, if we can put a man on the moon we can get these guys over here. that's how i feel. >> reporter: at least fallah and his family safe in the u.s. grateful to the town that has made them feel so welcome. >> i have never forgotten, something imprinted on my kids, my wife, our minds. something that we couldn't have in iraq. >> reporter: he just wants their countrymen who also risked their lives for the u.s. to live the

dream, too. al jazeera connecticut. >> another yankee legend is calling it quits. we have the latest developments from the bronx coming up in sports. on inside story, we bring together unexpected voices closest to the story, invite hard-hitting debate and desenting views and always explore issues relevant to you.

>> russia is taking on greenpeace international after the environmental group staged a protest out in the arctic ocean. >> reporter: the protester he's attempt to board the artic platform was going to bring statements from authorities.

within minutes they were intercepted by armed coast guard officers in boats. then more armed coast guards used a helicopter to storm the green piece vessel, the dutch vessel sunrise. >> all on board and the ship should be released immediately. that's why at this date greenpeace officers all over the world are appeal to go russian embassies and officers to release our colleagues. >> reporter: the same platform was boarded by protesters in august to highlight what they say are environmental risks posed by increased energy exploitation in the arctic. the staff in the group's moscow office are providing legal and translation assistance and vital gps monitoring.

after being told that the vessel is being steered west, gps actually shows the ship being taken east in russian territorial waters. the demonstration of the arrests have gotten international punish policety. in australia, the greenpeace chief tried to deliver a letter to the russian consulate in sydney. >> it's a disappointment that they have declined a simple letter requests the russian authorities release our activists and let answer australian come home, give back our ship, and they won't accept a letter to do that. it's disappointing. >> reporter: so far there has been no comment from the russian foreign ministry about the ongoing situation. meanwhile, the supporters of the sunrise crew can only watch gps screens and wait.

>> jessica is here with a day in sports. haven't we seen this movie starring andy pettitte once before. >> reporter: we have, starring michael jordan, and a thing that athletes like to do. stop me if you heard this one. andy pettitte has announced he'll retire at the end of the yankee season this year. yes, it is the second time he has done that, but this time the yankee pitcher said he has done it for good. he wanted to do it while he's still wearing his pinstripes. he has five titles and said he's simply exhausted physically and mentally. if the cocain yankees do make ie

postseason, his late game will be sunday. dodgers won 41 of their next 59 games including last night 7-6, thanks to a pair of homers by ramirez. and then the dodgers were the first team to win the first nl west title since 2009 in l.a. and the third team to beat in last place on july first or later and still win their division. to celebrate they rubbed a little salt in the wound of the dodgers as they hit their actual pool in their own stadium in enemy territory. in boston the red sox with a chance to clinch their first postseason berth since 2009. pedroia with a single, and they're guaranteed a spot if they can get it tonight.

now if they can get that magic number down to one they can clinch the al east. now we'll have a turn around, too. consider last year the red sox finished dead last. this year, much better, 93 losses which was their most since 1965. to the nfl, we'll talk about head coaches, and for the first topic how about this, who is on a hotter seat, nat brown? >> i think beau palini definitely has the longer leash was thinks drama has not been gone on for years. everyone is waiting for matt brown to lose enough games for them to kick him out. bo palini to see how the crowd reacts after his rants and saying he has fair weather friends. i don't know what the crowd is

going to do. are they going to boo him or say nothing, that will be a very telling reaction. in terms of wins and losses, bo palini is in a better spot. >> the pack 12 conference 23 and 4 start and they're on pace for non-conference wins. is this strength of the pac 12 the biggest surprise of the college football season? >> absolutely. everyone expected oregon and stanford to be among the top teams in the country right now. but to see arizona state, utah, oregon state, a lot of these teams really coming up and playing really well here in the early part of the season is very impressive. ucla is definitely one of the biggest surprises the way they played against nebraska last week. and to say that all of this is happening with usc, no one would have expected that. i think that in the past the pac

12 has kind of ben maybe three or four, but i think now this is a conference that people need to look out for for the national title. >> houston texas air i don't know foster reportedly received money, so we'll keep an eye on that. that should be quite interesting. >> thank you. tuna, it is what is not for dinner. ahead on al jazeera, efforts to protect blue fin tuna and overfishing.

>> welcome back, and the next time you go to sushi, you may not find tuna on the menu. overfishing has which would a whooping 96% of blue fin tuna. now japan is restricting how much can be caught, but these efforts may not be enough. >> the fish market does a brisk trade in the morning. blue fin tuna is being auctioned off. in 15 minutes it's over. fish are packed and loaded. destined to end up in a

restaurant. like this one, a typical sushi bar in japan where the food is freshly prepared in front of its customers. >> it is not because i'm japanese. it comes to me naturally as i've been eating it since i was born. >> this dish explains why the japanese consume 80% of blue fin tuna catch. sashimi or slices of raw fish. and among sashima lovers, it's tuna that is popular. ththe consumption of tuna has increased as it has gone worldwide. but the blue finish population has dwindled, and the fact that it takes long for reproduce. now there is a proposal to cut the catch of young tuna by 15%.

a scientist whose working on a method that he hopes will help the pacific blue finish. he's trying to breed bluefin with macro macmackerel. when they're grown they'll hatch tuna. but this technology won't be ready for several years. >> in order to seek a full recovery of their population we should have a ten-year closed season, but in reality it's difficult to impose this because there are so many, many parties concerned, like fishermen, traders. >> some restaurant ban bluefin from their money. many hope they don't have to resort to that so save the blue finish.
