with the clock ticking toward a po oh tential u.s. government shut down on tuesday, the senate voted today oh to move forward on a bill to keep the government running. the vote came shortly after texas senator ended a 21 hour throng speech criticizing the president's health care law. mike has the story from capitol hill. >> reporter: well, whatever you call it, it was one very throng speech. many are asking just one what did senator ted cruz accomplish? >> i like it being a bipartisan way. >> reporter: after talking in to lunchtime his this crucial time was up. the only time we will pass obama care, i would ask my friends in the democratic aisle -- >> pursue want to the order. >> reporter: the 21 hours the

5th longest speech in senate history. he raeuld against the new health care law. are we going to stand together and say let's break the broken pattern of washington. >> reporter: for some it got silly. i do not like sam i am, i do not like green eggs and ham. >> now, she's losing that. >> reporter: potential candidates for the gop nomination chiming in including cruz's rival. >> but a tea party guard slit st was on display. >> na stk*eu germany. we saw it in britain. told the british people accept the nazi. >> that was from a past g oh op presidential thopl knee, john mccain. >> i do not agree with that comparison. i that it's wrong. and, i hit the's a disservice to

those who stood up and shouted at the top of their lungs the. we must act. we ki did act. >> on the vote the yay's are 100, the nay's are 0. >> reporter: more vote come at the end of the week when democrats are likely to restore funding. with hours left to avert a shut down, the bill goes back to the house. today white house spokesman want the speaker to lead the health care law alone. we don't have a lot of time but fortunately, we can't let congress all by themselves. but that choice is still playing out this week as we inch closer and closer. >> and al jazeera has learned that the senate will finish his work by friday and send it over to the house which is expected to be in this weekend.

question is what will john boehner do to avert a shut down. al jazeera, the capitol. there is a talk of a possible deal on syria's chemical weapons. the u.s. progress is being made on a draft resolution but cautions there's still more work to be done. john kerry has the latest from the u.n. >> reporter: we understand that the five permanent methods of the security council red light now close to dropping a resolution to bring the tkp* gea agreement. >> reporter: now the british and americans are talking about -- the russians on the other hand talking about wishful thinking. >> i understand that the original resolution dropped by the british have had a lot of what the russians didn't like about it removed. bites not what they call a chapter 7 resolution. that's the divide use with the united nations when dealing with a country by which there pwhaeu an attack.

also the international criminal court to determine to carry out that attack on the 21st. if syria fails to live up to its promises of getting rid of the stock weapon stockpile. >> he talks about it for quite soon. most people think there may be one by friday. the other big story of the day involves iran. he's here to talk about iran's nuclear program. this will be the highest level meeting ever between a member of the administration and the iranian government. it goes back to the iranian revolution. he hopes the negotiation will lead to an end to the fight in the decades of involvinging

iran's nuclear program. earlier today, i spoke with former british prime minister tony blare and asked him about the new tone between the the u.s. and iran. >> i think that the change in atmosphere and language is obviously an opportunity for iran and the the united states to see if they can resolve this along with the international community and so did you -- you don't get that very toxic danger situation we ra iran. if you can result in that diplomate khreurbgly, i think we there a degree of skeptical and maybe there's a better wife putting it. people will want to know that is what is now a better language what is match bid better action. >> you believe president rahauni that iran does not want nuclear weapons it does not have nuclear

weapons. >> i don't know to be honest. that's why i think you have to test this by actions because there is a packing of behavior from iran on this issue over the years which is to open up and appear to be very open to a compromise and then you find the accumulation of the materials for the program just continues. so, the important thing is to test it by, the way, i don't have no doubt at all as far as president obama is concerned, he's reachinging out in order for see if still the possibility exists. i think it will be a huge mistake for the iranian leadership not to realize he's serious about the bottom line which is that iran shouldn't acquire nuclear weapons capability. if he's serious and it will be more pleased. what does. president

nuhauni have to do to pass the test? >> i think there's a whole issue around as you know around sthaeps need to be taken or verify in what's happening in order to make sure that certain clear flesh holds are not being passed. for example, i think there's a meeting of international atomic agency where just recently the atomic agency issued was very skeptical about iran. now the question is that meeting, can the right assurances be given. so, i don't think there's much doubt about what steps are necessary, the question will they be taken. >> and joining us now to talk about president rohauni's diplomatic debut at the *urpb this week is the university professor. he's the found ter of the american iranian council. it's good to see you. you were a presidential candidate if iran in 2013. you would have competed if your

candidates had been accepted by the council but it was not, correct? that's correct. >> and you also, night attended a dinner request president rohauni. what was the conversation about? >> it was basically on u.n. there were about 24 american officials and high ranking. others were most of them working out. but, the discussion was the nuclear issue unfortunately. and other issues that that engages u.s. and iran and travel for that. president rahuni is unthe spotlight at the united nations this time and -- i mean, did you get a chance to talk to him and sort of get a feeling about his move? >> well, his move is -- you can

see also in the media and that this man wants to try to break the ice to say and in this relationship but it has been involved in a major diplomatic and i will say also public relation effort to get closer to the public, to the american media, to the american administration. his message is a message of admiration, hope, and come together in peace and sanctions are not good and work together. >> you can understand some american people are suspicious of this message when they've heard the united states describe it since 1979. >> yeah, in iran, among the iranian people there's a change significantly. i would say over 80% of the

iranians have that ideas. it has changed significantly. it has changed 25 years ago. but it was in iran a few weeks ago. it will change and hope and basically, they actually like americans. they think they are seriously hoping that there will be a place to continue in iran. if tomorrow you open up the iranian boarders and i think most of the people will come to this country. >> and with difficult to arrange even a handshake between president obama and president rohauni, why? >> in iran we have -- you are dealing with two levels of administration, let's put hit the way. at the state level that the level and the system, there's a revolution and that revolution is led by a man called iotolla and -- he's the leader of the

supreme leader. the leader of the revolution. that's very important. and a revolution oh with institution to civilian and religious. some wonder. let me just stop you right there. so, does a president rohauni have the authority to negotiate when the supreme leader has most of the pow stpher. >power? >> again, that's very president. president rohauni is for the government not for the state. at the hr*eft of the government it has to take care of the people that's concerned about their employment, job, housing. he try to open up for them to start the economy with him.

i think the regime as a whole also has pressure and also a need that is opening but up to a point. there's a wall there for the regime. therefore, president rohauni can go to some extent. let me try to address one issue that has been brought up. there was an interview that the president did with christian annapour in which he condemned the holocaust. tonight, state-run television in iran is questioning whether or not the translation was correct or whether or not cnn fabricated that information. this is causing a stir back in what he said about the holocaust is causing a stir back in iran, why? >> that's the level of revolution. that's the level we are talking about. there's a level of revolution that has -- it has -- when it

comes to israel, when it comes to the united states and it has a compromise, let's put hit the way because if you -- you are compromiseing the revolution. so president rohaun s*eu trying to pull the revolution along? >> yes, myny maine sag my messa. it certainly doesn't speak for the revolution. the level of the revolution as opposed to the level of the government. if the government is for -- but the boarders are divided. he got 50% of the vote and another was 45% and then to it's identifies.

these are the guys that are questioning his cnn interview. there's a serious struggle with the government level and the state level. it it was last 30-some years. every government in iran was open. even the other considered to be very radical. he sends a note of congratulations. he didn't propose to meet president obama, handshake, it was president obama who refused, rohauni was refused. before it was president obama who refused. he was a revolution man. he has an authority very much bigger and stronger than ruhauni

has. he forces the revolutions up to a point. then things are struggle. in this country, you have to understand that if you are able to put our maximum on the table, he will say it. and you need to learn that they can make it successful. they can make it -- and tes stabish with our absolute minimum demand and then move forward. >> i can only imagine the interesting discussion you had at him at dinner. maybe we can talk about it again. it's great to see you. thank you very much >. now to kenya. at least 72 people were killed, hundreds more injured request questions about nationalities of the west gate mall attackers still unanswered. somali-american communities here are working to protect their own from radical influences.

>> these videos use religion to challenge justification for violence. >> translator: it really helps out stopping the bad intentions of al-shabab and bad thinking. >> reporter: a woman we'll call ambers that reviewed the videos with her own children speaking out about al-shabab's message could be dangerous for her and her children but feels it's necessary to prooh text her tkpreusd theikidsfrom influence. >> translator: the most important message they got was peace up and thumb's down al that back's ideology. >> it's stay out and the message behind that and it's away from things like al-shabab, gang violence and what have you and point them in the right direction which is education, education, education. >> reporter: some former law

enforcement officials say the efforts are making progress. >> you develop healthy human being that are very resistant the toed fromsation and you can lead them to their tone resourcing and let them lose their identity and fail academically and not be part of the main strain. they don't have a lot of other choices. >> reporter: while sit a community fearful of the threat of radicalsation it's not one they can sit idlely by. al jazeera, eupbt indianapolis. temperatures have dropped 20 to 30-degrees in nevada and utah today as cold air is breaking in. you can see the difference in temperatures falling so dramatically to the west and even falling down 5 to 8 degrees cooler to n california down to los angeles. we have the warmer weather for

ahead. so at that moment and once they got ahead they simply took off. i think from that moment on, i mean for those who wanted to keep the cup here it was extraordinaryly exciting for those who have been battling to take it to new zealand that was heart break but going in to the end it was who ever won today was going to twin cup. that's exciting. when you look at these pictures, it appears that from everything we can see the conditions were perfect. is thais that right? >> it was a beautiful dayton bay. it was sunny. it was one canes. you couldn't have scripted it better. >> and, so, how would you compare this america's cup to other america's cup? >> of course, i'm a little bit biased because i've competed in other cups. the technology is phenomenal. it has really drawn in the average person on the street and

that's really exciting. of course, the counter to that is the cost of this technology is extraordinary so we haven't seen as many competitors as we have in the past. there's been some pros and cons to it but at the end of the day we had a ton of folks here on the edge of the seat watching, same with tv and so many people just waiting to see around world who's going to win the cup. and that's good for the sport. >> good for the sport. absolutely, katie, it's great to talk with you tonight out in san francisco and enjoy the celebration. >> thank you very much. >> michael joins us now with news on an nba star land agca reaing acareer-changing contrac. >> paul george is now paid like one. george signed a five-year contract that guarantees him

they need to be stabilize first before seek other medical care elsewhere. they involve -- it's not perfect but it's better than amputation. there is now fear that what little alternatives doctors have will soon not. available. the leader of al-shabab is confirming the arme armed groups behind the attack. in an audio posted on the al-shabab web-site. they said the attack was in retaliation in southern somalia and warns the people of kenya should be prepared far long war. joining us to talk about how the u.s. will move forward diplomatecally is frazier.

welcome. >> thank you. >> al-shabab is a somali-based group established in 2006 as a militant arm of the islamic courts union but always had links to al qaeda. in fact the leadership from al al-shabab from the very beginning was the cell members it had access to finance, training and organization is really a threat quite globally. and for coverage of a terrible event like this is something they're looking for? >> well, that's about -- it's to create a speak tac spectacular n to terrorize and to threaten governments and so, yes, indeed, i think that the coverage of the laws attack definitely fits in

their propaganda agenda. >> how can the united states help somali and kenya to deal with al-shabab? >> well, it's through intelligence of course and particularly kenya and they clear i will have cells or they have groups for individuals who are offering these in kenya and so an intelligent support to really weed out who is in fact a militant and threatening the country versus a l aly legitimae citizen. >> does it mean our intelligence are working up to par because they were able to blow off the attack or not. >> you really can't -- governments, they have actually had prior attacks. so our government can't be 100%. it's simply not possible. and, so, i wouldn't want to say

that the intelligence is not sufficient but clearly, it's going to be in terms of americans support to kenya, it's going to be not only the spell skwrepbs in terms of weeding out and figuring out who are the opportunities in kenya but also continuing the support significant engagement with a country, economic development an growth it's a broad agenda that america had with kenya. how far -- >> that's the second part that america needs to play a role. in somali it's not just about intelligence it's about getting a strong stable government. the stkpwo*ft fairly weak it's a new government. it's institutions that were established in 2004 and this new government has been in september of 2012 that's just one year old

it has significant divisions so anything what the international community can do to get a better rated state that broadly includes and the it's going to be important to ending a terror threat in s somalia. before i let you go, i have to ask you another question. if you worked in africa and south the africa and know -- -- can you talk about his incredible legacy in that country? >> yes, i've had a chance to meet with former president mandela several times. and, he is a symbol. shea man who has unifyed south africans of all races. of all ethnicitys. he's a man who is stood for reconciliation.

he has $6.44 left to pay him after the $8 million so it's going to be hard for tampa bay buccaneers find a trade partner. nobody is going to pick up that contract. only thing they hope is maybe a team loses the quarterback and is looking far veteran to come in. he would probably be the best veteran in the market to come in. to me is they stop him in that locker room. there's a bi-week coming up after the game. kwha'what's head coach's concern right now? >> with we have the first crisis and below 50 oh 0 for the first time there. they have a lot of problems as you said.
