>> good morning, this is aljazeera america. the federal government is set to shut down in three days unless congress can come to some sort of compromise. republicans appear to be trying to use the looming shutdown as leverage to block the affordable care act. congress has until tuesday at 12:01 a.m. to reach a spending deal. some house republicans say they will only agree if congress cuts off money to obamacare. tuesday is the day people can enroll in insurance plans through on line exchanges. october 17, if congress does not raise the debt ceiling by then, the government will not be able to pay its bills. the last time washington pushed to the brink of default was 2011. as a result, the company's credit rating was downgraded, leading to higher interest rates

for everyone. we have more from washington. >> this is a team that calls for leadership of the house republicans. >> with the clock ticking toward a federal government shutdown tuesday, democrats say despite talk-a-thons and delaying tactics, they are wasting your breath. >> you have huff and puff for 21 hours but you cannot blow the affordable care act away. >> president obama appeared in maryland to tout his signature achievement. >> we are five days away from finishing the job. five days. [ applause ] >> starting on tuesday, you can sign up. >> the president blasted republicans, accusing them of economic ryan catering to the far right. >> all of this would be funny if it wasn't so crazy.

>> as mr. obama spoke, reports of another glitch in getting the new law up and running. on line enrollment for small business and insurance exchanges brought delay. that brought more scorn from republicans. john boehner speak. >> the president says i'm not going to negotiate. well, i'm sorry, but it just doesn't work that way. we're not going to ignore washington's spending problem and accept the weak economy, no new jobs and shrinking wages. >> boehner floated conditions for raising the debt ceiling later in october, including a one year delay in implementing obamacare, tax reform and approval of the controversial key stone pipeline. >> the only thing i didn't see mentioned was like a birther bill to attach to it. >> aljazeera, washington. >> today, members of congress

will prepare for a possible weekend fight on capitol hill as the senate will vote to avert a government shutdown. libby casey is at the capitol. what will the senate vote on today? it is very difficult for people to follow. >> 12:30 this afternoon, the senate will begin a series of four votes and it will cell my nate in the spending bill that would keep the government funded past the fiscal year. the fiscal year ends september 30. tuesday morning, 12:01 a.m., the government would shut down unless congress can act. this is a legislation that would keep that going forward. >> what about a house resolution to defund obamacare? will the senate be voting to strip that part out? >> they sure will. watch for that this afternoon. that is expected to pass and will then feed into this larger bill. it will get kicked back to the

house of representatives where house speaker john boehner who leads this raucous republican caucus has to figure out what his next move is. the senate will be freed up to go home once they pass this legislation this afternoon, which is expected, but the senate will essentially be on stand by. the house is going to have to make decisions about what they'll do and then it's going to have to go back to the house for some sort of final passage. they have to agree on something to keep the government running. >> will the debt ceiling be on the agenda today? >> this is the next big fight in mid october, so republicans are trying to see if they can use that as a way to get their members to sign off on raising the debt ceiling for some republicans sweeteners and big priorities. the real big fight right now is going to focus on keeping the government funded through the end of the fiscal year and beyond. that may come into play in terms of negotiating tactics. what's really on the table now is this big fight over basically

keeping the government funded. >> lots will be happening then in the next few hours and days. thank you so much, live from capitol hill. >> for the first time in a generation, the u.s. and iran held serious diplomatic talks. secretary of state john kerry was struck by the very different tone in the meetings. despite iran's shift on its nuclear program, there is still a long road ahead. >> it was perhaps the most highly anticipated entrance at this year's general assembly, joining the permanent five members of the security council in germany, hoping to end years of deadlock and sour relations. the presence of u.s. secretary of state john kerry made it the highest level meeting between those two countries in decades. the u.n. foreign policy chief described the talks.

>> having iran come and openly talk was a change in the dynamic. all ministers engaged with that, all had an opportunity to put their points of view. the atmosphere was a very positive one. >> the group discussed an ambitious time table to reach an agreement over iran's controversial nuclear program. ashton would like to see proof that iran is not working toward a nuclear weapon within a year. the iranians would like to move even faster and eliminate the sanctions that have crippled their economy. >> we believe that sanctions are counter productive in addition to being not founded in its national law. of course, as we move forward, there has to be removal of sanctions and in the end game, there has to be a total lifting of all sanctions and both bilateral sanctions, unilateral sanctions, as well as multi-lateral sanctions and u.n. sanctions. we hope to be able to move in that direction within a short span of time.

>> he and his american counterpart both described the meeting at positive, but kerry remained cautious. >> we've agreed to try to continue a process that will try to make concrete and find a way to answer the questions that people have about iran's nuclear program. needless to say, one meeting and a change in tone, which was welcome, doesn't answer those questions yet, and there's a lot of work to be done. >> the five permanent security council members have finally reached an agreement on ridding syria of its chemical weapons. meanwhile, the related on the ground in the war torn country has not changed. the government blockade means many syrians are facing starvation. >> all this man wants is to find food for his children.

relief organizations say more than 4 million syrians, more than half a million children do not have enough to eat. there is a humanitarian crisis in many regions, particularly dire in the damascus. the opposition controlled country side of of the capitol has been undersiege by government forces for almost a year. people there say children are malnourished as food is increasingly hard to find. >> dying is better than living this life of humiliation. there is no food, nothing to eat. we endure heavy bombardment. on top of that, we are dying of hunger. >> the suburbs are some of the hardest hit areas of the war. they are also the site of the august 21 chemical attacks that a u.n. report found included the use of the nerve agent sarin.

aid agencies say they have not had access to these areas. >> for over a year now, government forces have been trying to retake the suburbs and push out rebels, who are just a few kilometers from syrian president's bashar al assad seat of power. there are some strategic districts blockaded. the rebellion around the capitol has still not been defeated. >> the rebels have maintained defenses in some areas, but their main arm supply routes were cut off by the army a few months ago. several rebel brigades announced a new offensive to try to break the army blockade. >> we agreed to set up a joint operational command, oversee the battle to damascus and its countryside. we call on our brothers to help us achieve this. we want to end the brigade. >> activists and people who live in these areas have little hope

a new assault would end suffering. they want food and medical supplies to each them so they can stay alive. aid agencies are pushing for a ceasefire so assistance can help those in need and prevent the risk of what they are warning could be mass starvation. >> the humanitarian crisis goes beyond syria's borders. the number of refugees have surpassed the 2 million park, almost one third of the countries population. >> in montana, a former teacher convicted of raping a 14-year-old student has been set free after serving just a month behind bars. he is a registered sex offender. the judge is under review and advocates have filed a complaint seeking his removal. the judge said the girl seemed

older than they are chronological age. the teen committed suicide before the trial began. >> the world's leading pasta company barilla is under fire. the c.e.o. said his company would never feature gay families in i said add, only a classic family where the woman has a fundamental role. he said gay couples can eat another pasta. within hours, the hash tag boycott barilla was trending. he later apologized, saying he was sorry. let's get a check on our national forecast. >> we've had that major storm system bringing snow to parts of the country, continuing to be a problem for us today. this system is now pulling out of the northern rockies, so other people are going to get in

on the so-called fun with this system. you can see, this system as it moves along, we actually, it's a little hard to see out here, but there's another system about to push into the northwest, more rain for oregon and washington before the day is done. this broad system is in the higher elevations, places like gillette seeing the snow. moving across the country, still, the higher elevations, a lot of this 5,000 feet and above seeing the snow. part of that is because the higher elevations are already cool and cold air is brought in with the system. the broad picture, that is our big player across the country. some showers have started to move into northern portions of the u.s. along with this system, wind is a concern. the frontal boundary has been a big dividing line for us with the cooler air and warm air ahead of it. we've had southerly flow warming temperatures from the 90's in texas to 80's in minnesota. this corridor of warmth with the

front coming in could be a fire line for severe weather today as this moves across the country. we'll look at where that precipitation is going to move, but these temperatures that you see that are so warm, like minneapolis today are going to be cooling as the front continues across the country. we'll see where the storm tracks coming up in just a little bit. >> all right, nicole. this is something you were so excited about this morning, a new report out this morning on climate change leaves little doubt that humans are to blame for rising temperatures around the globe. >> two years after tainted melon killed several people, two brothers face charges. >> considering giving up cash and going plastic.

on august 20th,

>> the n.s.a. has been on the hot seat for spying activities. the agency's sites on war critics, including martin luther king, jr. and the news comes as

an unusual senate hearing focused on how the u.s. gathers intelligence on its own citizens. we report. >> on capitol hill, top u.s. intelligence officials argue the national security agency's sweeping surveillance programs must stay intact to keep the united states safe and are not a violation are privacy. >> we only spy for valid foreign intelligence purposes as authorized by law with multiple layers of oversight. >> a growing number of politicians believe the spying programs go too far and should be restricted. >> we are asking has the n.s.a. of collected or ever made any plans to collect american self site information. >> what i don't want to do is put out in an unclassified form anything that is classified here. >> if you're responding to my question by not answering it, we will continue to explore that,

because i believe this is something the american people have a right to know. >> the vast scope of u.s. spying was exposed this past summer as former n.s.a. contractor edward snowden leaked classified documents. wednesday, a group of democrats and republicans introduced legislation intended to restrict the access to those records, to include only those suspected of terrorism. >> it is the most comprehensive bipartisan intelligence reform proposal since the disclosures of last june. >> but u.s. surveillance isn't just challenged domestically. there are international concerns. tuesday, the united nations brazilian president challenged the u.s. spy program. earlier this year, it was revealed her own communications may have been monitored by the n.s.a. president obama has defended the u.s. surveillance but now acknowledges a need for reform. >> we've begun to review the way that we gather intelligence so

that we properly balance the legitimate security concerns of our citizens and allies with the privacy concerns that all people share. >> but despite outcry over the surveillance, the head of the senate intelligence committee is drafting legislation that would broaden the intelligence powers so it can spy on targets that travel to the united states after being identified overseas. new legislation shows just how vast the divide is in congress over the government surveillance programs and how best to reform them. aljazeera, capitol hill. >> she gained national reaction for a fearless filibuster, now eyes the statehouse. davis wants to succeed rick perry, who is retiring at the end of his third term. she's been debating whether to run and will form ally reveal her decision next week. she filibusters to limit filibup

legislation limiting abortions in texas. >> the report goes well beyond the climate being said to be man made, saying it is 95% sure the atmospheric heating, ocean heating and melting of polar ice caps is caused by human activity. if you want to get more specific, it's caused by the burning of fossil fuels and the creation of so much carbon dioxide in the environment. we've never seen the levels we have today for 800,000 years. >> does the report indicate that the u.s. will get more extreme

weather. >> more specifically, it's saying weather events, the likes of droughts we've seen in the u.s. and around the world. flooding, of course, colorado's flooding comes to mind immediately and storms, the kind of super storm sandy we saw last year. all of those type of events will have more energy in them. they say it's a simple matter of physics. we have a global system that has more energy, more water, more energy in the winds. you're going to get greater flooding, greater storms. we should be preparing ourselves, our governments should be doing more to prepare their countries for these type of events. >> finally, what is the importance of warming oceans according to this report? >> well, this is a very interesting question, because a number of people have been pointing out that the atmosphere actually hasn't got much warmer in the last 15 years. again, looking at atmospheric records, they haven't changed a

great deal. this report says where is the energy going? if not to the atmosphere, it's a certainty there is more energy in the system. 93% of the energy entering the earth from the sun actually goes into the oceans. the oceans have warmed slightly, but taken a lot of that energy onboard. the question is where they are going to release that back into the atmosphere, sometime soon or whether some other mechanism will help that energy stay in the oceans and cause less harm. they admit they haven't got all the answers but it is the most conclusive climate report ever produced. >> that many people are poring over right now. thank you so much. >> beaches are becoming more threatened, more communities trying to save their ocean front scenery, but the process is difficult and expensive. in the next hour, we look at how one community managed to save its beach by following nature's lead. >> a huge brush fire is burning out of control in australia.

flames near the new south wales town has forced the closure of the highway. dozens of homes are threatened. more than 60 smaller wildfires are also burning in that area. >> two colorado brothers pleaded not guilty to charges they caused a deadly listeria outbreak in 2011. thirty people died, 100 were sickened after eating tainted cantaloupe grown on their farm. the brothers face prison time if convicted. >> there is a few days left until the affordable care act takes effect. 22 states including texas have opted out of the expansion, leaving 1 million adults living under the positivity line without benefits. heidi zhou-castro spoke with one woman struggling for health care. >> paula is a cancer survivor living in poverty. she lost her job at a nature

center last year. now at 60, she's uninsured, making less than $10,000 a year, and getting by doing odd jobs and taking care of her landlord's animals. >> i try not to think a whole lot about in the far future. >> she sacrifices air conditioning, and sometimes meals to pay for doctor's visits. she's doing the best to ward off the uterine cancer that's been in remission for 10 years. she knows she can't afford treatment. >> if it was to return or filled develop another type of cancer, i would just have to let it take me out. >> the affordable care act sought to help folks under the poverty line by having states expand their medicaid programs, but the supreme court said states could ignore the federal mandate without penalty. texas is one of 22 states doing justify that. >> the medicaid program is broken. it is already costing states tremendous amounts of money.

>> governor rick perry is instead asking the federal government for a no-strings-attached grant to reform medicate as texas sees fit without expanding coverage. the situation has forced some communities to be proactive. >> our goal is not to wait for the federal government or to wait for help to come, but to invest in local solutions. >> voters in travis county, for example, approve using revenue from property taxes to run clinics for people who are low income and uninsured. but to qualify for help, patients must live within the urban tax destruct. people from rural counties, like paula phillips are left to fend for themselves. >> i'm 60 years old, so, you know, i'm just kind of in that gap between everything. >> paula knows she'll need to make it until her 65t 65th birthday. that's when medicare kicks in. until then, she'll just have to

keep putting one foot in front of the other. heidi zhou-castro, aljazeera, texas. >> the federal government will pay the full cost of expanded coverage for poor people the first three years obamacare is in effect. >> shoppers in england could be putting away cash and pulling out the plastic money. they can last up to six times longer than paper money. the plastic is harder to tear and forge. the bank of england said the bills could hit the streets by 2016. the money will save the bank more than $150 million in printing costs over the next decade. >> business leaders are keeping a close eye on washington. some fear the debt ceiling crisis could have a huge impact on wall street. >> trying to end the killing in chicago, former gang members are working to pull young people away from a life of violence.

>> mariano rivera made it to the mound one last time in the bronx. we'll have that later in sports. women's prisons. >> the system is setup to do exactly what it's doing - to break people and to keep them broken.

>> these are our top stories at this hour. secretary of state john kerry had a constructive discussion a iran's foreign minister about that countries nuclear weapons program. more talks are scheduled next month. >> the security council greed on a resolution to rid syria of its

emchemical weapons. members could vote on the plan today. >> time is running out before a possible government shut down tuesday. the senate is expected to vote on the bill to fund the government until mid november. house republicans are threat thatting to sink that bill unless the affordable care act is defunded or delayed. president obama said they won't allow that. >> preventing a government shut down is on the horizon. >> even if washington has a spending plan in place by tuesday's deadline, the worries are far from over. the next line in the sand over the fight to defunding the affordable care act is october 17 when treasury secretary said the government won't have enough money to pay its bills unless congress increases the nation's borrowing limit. the failure to reach agreement could send shack waves through the financial markets. >> no one knows what would

happen. could be in the marketplace. the government needs to borrow more money to keep you the with its spending obligations. the u.s. treasury enacted emergency funding resolutions to keep programs running because of the grid lock on the hill. >> right now, you can't move forward. no one can agree on the goals and no one is negotiating on everything. >> bridging the debt ceiling could make it difficult for the government to pay $55 billion worth of social security, medicare and military bills do in november. >> failure to raise that ceiling as we have basically at every point over the last 100 yearsed send a very negative signal that could harm the standing of u.s. federal debt. >> economists say even the hint the government might be running out of cash could have

catastrophic consequences. >> the 2011 debt ceiling crisis where the debt ceiling was not breached is estimated to have cost the federal government $1.3 billion in fiscal year 2011. >> back then, congress managed to raise the debt limit at the 11th hour. that still didn't stop the u.s. from losing a highly coveted and pristine rating by s&p. >> republicans say they're open top raising the debt ceiling, but among the things on their list of demands, a year delay on the affordable care act, tax code changes and the opening of the pipeline. >> one of the few encounters between high level meetings in

u.s. and iranian officials occurred since the 1979 islamic revolutions. let's bring in our guest, the founder and president of the tel aviv non-profit and non-partisan institution. thanks for your time. a few months ago, the out going iranian president ahmadinejad said his holocaust denial he considered a major achievement of his presidency. now rouhani seems to be considerably more moderate, particularly as it pertains to israel. how is that playing in israel? >> many israelis are worried, because the iranian project is reaching a critical moment where they can cross the threshold in their military program and exactly in this environment, the iranians are coming forward with a new face, new language, new

discourse, which may shift the focus of the international community from the nuclear program. the war in israel is with the price of a few words and interviews, the iranian, the international community will ease the pressure on iran right now. >> you don't think he is sincere? >> we don't know. already we can see the tension between the american messages and iranian messages, the americans saying give is concrete steps and iranians are saying give alleviate sanctions in order for us to be able to discuss the feuding or containing the nuclear program.

iran is in a moment of great vulnerability. they are under tremendous economic pressure. they are over stretched in the region. they are bogged down in the conflict in syria that seems without resolution in the foreseeable future. they have a lot of enemies within the region, so iran is now over stretched, weak. i believe that the leadership felt that they needed a maneuver that take them out of the corner they basically drove themselves into. it's too early to tell if it is a manure or sincere intention to reach a deal that will put in check it's nuclear program. >> president rouhani said he would like to reach a deal in three to six months and there are more talks scheduled for neck month. are you encouraged by this? it sounds like you're very skeptical of what could happen in that time frame.

>> everybody is interested in a diplomatic agreement to the crisis. the war are you is that the focus will move from the iranian nuclear program. everybody wants a diplomatic solution to the crisis. the message of israel is first we need to see action, real concrete, confidence-building measures by the eye raines, such as freezing the nuclear project for a while or exposing or opening some of the key sites for international inspections manufacture these are the things that zeal expects in order to actually know that the iranians are serious. >> ok. good to talk to you this morning, mr. greenstein, thank

you. >> remains have been discovered in the costa concordia. the search resumed last week. divorce plan to go inside the ship to retrieve computer to try to determine why backup equipment failed after the ship wreck. >> a do you live action on youth violence. the issue must be addressed at both the national and community levels and especially in the home, said eric holder. >> we've seen that violence among or directed toward our young people can take many forms. we understand that expose u. can happen virtually anywhere, in our schools, from our streets, in our homes and even on line, where kids face new and evolving threats every day. >> holder says that more than 60% of children in the u.s. are

exposed to violence, crime or abuse. >> chicago has become one of the most violent places in the u.s. three more people were shot thursday. the governor of illinois said he is opening to bringing in the national guard to help fight the violence. chicago activists say the key to stopping the gang warfare is much deeper than on the street, say it changes with changing a cowboy culture mentality. >> former gang members blame chicago's murder rate on a cowboy mindset. >> the same menty as the wild, wild west in a future form with the horses replaced with the cars. me and you in a club, i bump you, and then instead of us resolving the issue positively, we resolve the issue negatively. so now you bump me, i can't let you get away with you bumping me so now i'm going to come back and cull you. >> police have made hundreds of

arrests, targeting gaining leaders. that have left remnants of the old organizations. now hundreds of small groups have no discipline. >> you have a tough guy on every other block. the cowboy mentality is serious. at one time, one guy would say shut it all down. >> last year, more than 500 people were killed in the windy city, most gunned down in poor neighborhoods like this. former gaining members say most of them were not gang related. >> now there is no structure. all the kids is basically like the wild wild west for real. >> from the lawless frontier, violence can be near sport. >> to me, the whole pump is to find a victim, pick the margin and go celebrate, to go get a wine or beer or some alcohol or

marijuana and they sit in the play ground and talk about it as if wow, that's the thing to do. that's the norm for them. >> that's entertainment. >> that's entertainment. >> in chicago, street hustler in the ghettos become father figures. just one in three young black men have fathers at home, fewer do here. >> if you don't have the sunlight in the water, what happens to the plant? it dice. that's what happened with us when we were coming up and our fathers left us, a part of us died. if i had my father there, i want have went to jail six times. i wouldn't have joined a gang at 11 years old. i wouldn't have been homeless and probably wouldn't be addicted. >> younger black men say it could take decades to reform. >> more americans have died by

homicide in the past decade in chicago than have been killed in the war in afghanistan. >> let's get a check of the morning national forecast. trial to talk to nicole mitchell. hi, nicole. >> good morning, yes, another lovely morning for parts of the mideast, the northwest. we have a big storm that is a little more on the move, causing problems for other parts of the count through the rest of the day. >> the broad picture, rain in the southeast has moved out. that's been beneficial there. we were having flood concerns. as we get to the northwest, first the rockies. you can actually see already pushing into the northwest, a second system coming in. this is the big player in the northern rockies right now. the rest of the country pretty quiet. this has brought in many cases a first taste of snow a few days into fall. most of that as we get into the higher elevations. as you get through some of the mountainous passes, snow in

wyoming this this morning is reported. lower elevations have had rain. still advisories up. wind is associated with this system, so that is causing problems, too, as this system is on the move. i said it's on the move. we're starting to see ahead of that rain move into northern parts of the plains. one beneficial part of this, there's more wind associated, less fog this morning, because that wind kind of mixing the atmosphere in parts of the midwest. a little bit into wisconsin. not that dense fog some of us were driving through. we see this push across the country. we spread out of the rockies, more into the northern plains, midwest, all the way down into texas today. we've had a lot of warm air ahead of this system. as that boundary comes through, and we have the instability, that could be a firing line for stronger storms. wind would be the most likely

threat. the dividing line between the temperatures with this system, you've got a southerly flow really warming temperatures up. ninety's southward, 80's northward. a 20-degree temperature change just because of the fronts through the day today. as that front comes through, it will cool temperatures, bringing us more to normal for this time of the year. eighty's aren't very typical poor minnesota once we get into the fall. sixty's are more back to reality. ninety's again into texas today. that rain will be on the move for the direction. the rain will be very beneficial because the region has been very dry. otherwise, a lovely fall day again for the northeast. it will be for a couple of days, so enjoy it while you can. >> it was a very emotional thursday night in the bronx for the yankees great pitcher, mariano rivera.

i had a hard time getting work done because i was watching highlights from his career. >> no one who saw it will ever forget the yankees 2013 home finee. for the last time, the late great bob sheppard announced that the late great mariano rivera was making his way to the mound. >> number 42, mariano rivera. [ cheers and applause ] >> in a performance typical of his 19 year run as the best closer ever seen web faced four batters and retired four batters. when it was time to go, his teammates all the way from the minors to the majors pettitte and jeter came to get him. he will retire as the game's all time save's leader, possess

shadow, jeter, pettitte and rivera are known as the core four. >> it was really cool. it was one of the -- it was a cool moment. we've had so many great moments here, but that was, you know, joe asked -- said he wanted us to do that, and my first thought was ahh, i don't know. that might be a little weird, you know. and then everybody on the bench. all the guys are like you got to do it. so glad we did, just a great moment, and it's the emotion, you know, of him and us to be able to be out there and share that with him, it was awfully cool. it's going to be something that obviously i'll never forget. >> well, i mean definitely there was some magic. i call it blessed. i've had many opportunities to play for 19 years, and give the best of my talents and my

ability to this organization, you know. tonight was -- paid off, and i definitely appreciated that. i mean, obviously, my family, my wife and my kids, but, you know, fans, it's amazing. it was a great, great night. >> it was special. what makes it special is the fans, you know, the fans have been awesome here for our whole careers, and it just added another moment. >> i got chills right up my spine, how about you? >> sand man had a lot of success in front of that crowd in the bronx. the home crowd got to witness 60 of rivera's 82 career wins. no surprise when you check out the home e.r.a. of 1.27. 652 career saves came in the two

in carnations of yankee stadium. >> after losing two straight games, the haters were all over the 49ers, especially on twitter. kaepernick said he looked to the tweets like one year wonder, the truth hurts, bro and we want alex smith back at motivation. kaepernick and his 49ers tuesday night against the rams, showing out in show me state, tweet this. hooks up for a 42-yard pass play. three plays later, kaepernick would get from point a to point b again, throwing to bolden. niners lead 7-3. the 49er's d. were missing smith and willis, but dante witmer was making plays. the 49ers cash in the turnover, fourth and inches, gets the

score. davis for six. the 49ers back on track beating the rams 35-11 to improve to 2-2 on the season. >> everybody's been frustrated, you know? not liking the result, but that was a great job by our team. special teams was outstanding. defense getting off the field on third down was real big tonight. coverage units were outstanding. it's a great job by all. good team win. >> but of course, the big news, the end of mariano rivera's run at yankee stadium. that's sports this hour. >> you should annual watch that if you have a moment to cry, mariano rivera's stuff. >> i've seen it 10 times.

>> every time. thank you, john henry, reading writing and writing code. one father has come up with a way to teach kids basic computer programming skills before they start kindergarten. what happens when social media uncovers unheard, fascinating news stories? it drives discussion across america. share your story on tv and online.

>> an incredible story out of india. a toddler pulled from the rubble of a collapsed building. the five story building collapsed more than 10 hours ago. it's believed dozens of people may still be trapped in the wreckage. it happened again in mumbai. thibuilding is contributed to te use of substandard construction materials. >> investigators in kenya say they found a car linked to the talk on the mall. f.b.i. agents along with teams from britain, canada and germany are investigating the attack that left 72 people dead. the attackers may have used other cars, but investigators are short on details. we are joined live from nairobi. what is the latest on this
