americans who are hurting under obamacare, and i think the senate needs to do the same thing. >> what you see in the house is speaker john boehner essentially handed the gavel over to spoker cruz. >> president obama urged congress to act quickly. >> if congress doesn't pass a budget by monday, the end of the fiscal year, the government shuts down, along with vital services the american people depend on. >> on the list. passports, visas, people waiting for housing loans or other government programs provided by the 800,000 federal workers who will be furloed. the concern on capitol hill is who is to blame. >> we are going to give a choice to the president of the united states and the senate. >> what if democrats said we'll shut down if we don't get gay rights or gun control. >> obamacare is still slated to kick in this week.

>> if the government does shut down the house included a stipulation in the bill ensuring military personnel receive their pay cheques. it's not a guarantee. as we report military families are not sure how to make ends meet. >> didi saunders shops for her infant grandson at a thrift store in texas. her daughter is a soldier at the nearby army base, fort hood. >> that's how she pays her ren. >> saunders is worried how her daughter's family will get through a government shutdown. she is worried about all soldiers. >> they are fighting, doing stuff for the country. why don't the government do it. >> more than 42,000 soldiers are stationed at fort hood. without a congressional resolution they'll report to duty on tuesday and work without pay until a bill gets the

president's sit. only then will soldiers be compensated retroactively. >> nothing can do, helpless. >> this woman works at the thrift store to make ends meet. if her husband, a sergeant, loses their paycheck, the family of six will be unable to meet basic needs. >> our rent, our utilities - do you know what i mean? necessities. survival. >> if a shutdown happens, the first missed military paycheck will be october 15th, applying to soldiers who are deployed. usaa offering banking services to soldiers will allow soldiers to take out no interest bank loans. >> it's unfortunate they have to deal with the uncertainty. >> it will continue until congress decides to fund the

government. >> everyone needs to man and woman-up in washington d.c. >> these military families say that is what they are doing, they are looking for second jobs, and tightening their budgets in preparation for tough times ahead. >> as congress debates the affordable health care, across the atlantic great britain is implementing reforms to its national health service. we have this report from london. >> as the u.s. prepares for a major change in haelth care the u.k. is facing the biggest remodelling of their health system since the birth of the nhs. the nation is busy implementing the 2012 health and service care act intended to create more oversight, streamline coverage and controversially allowing for private outsourcing. >> since its creation in 1940.

the nhs is the world's largest single payer health service. every british citizen had access to the same care regardless of the individual cost. there has been difficulties and scandals along the way. one of the biggest revealed in a 2009 investigation uncovered hundreds of patients in two hospitals who died through negligence and poor management. critics say the scandal exposed the nhs as a bloated bureaucracy that cared little for the parnts and more about -- patients and more about bnts and jobs. >> julie bailey lost her mother and started to cure the nhs. she warns americans about creating a bureaucracy so large that abuses are undiagnosed or untreated. >> one thing they need to watch out for in america in the health care system is accountability of the that is one thing that is

lacking in the nhs. no one assist held to account. -- no one is held to account. we lost up to 1200 people. without accountability the harm continues. you need accountability so people do the job they are paid to do. >> accountability is part of the reenvisioned nhs. there has been criticism that some measures have been pushed through in 2012, making health care profitable by outsourcing to private firms. some of whom get taxpayer money and lucrative grants. >> private care has been in the u.k. for decades. studies show the level of care is the same, it allows for patients to go to the head of the line when it comes to getting speedier operations. it has not been a concern for transplanted american john reilly who underwent cancer treatment with the nhs for the better part of this year, and is satisfied with the speed and

level of care. his message to americans... >> to welcome it with open arms, and the small tax increase that it costs is worth every penny of it. end of story. i'm a complete convert. i prefer this system. >> by and large the british people remain proud of their health care, even showcasing it in the olympic opening ceremony. british health care is widely regarded as among the best in the world. the problem underlying all of this, experts say is as medical procedures are advanced, they become more expensive and people are living longer, further raising costs. the question is how to create a system treating those in need, but not at the expense of others, and on both sides of the atlantic it appears as though there is no one single simple

treatment for that. >> at least 50 people are dead after gunmen stormed a college dormitory in north-east nigeria. the fighters of the group boko haram allegedly opened fire on students while they were sleeping. ahmed idris is in abuja nigeria. >> the situation is calm. security forces are assuring lobing else everything is under control. soldiers and police men have been combing the areas. saturday night's attack happened two weeks after public schools reopened to a new academic calendar. three months ago the government shut down all public schools because of an attack that killed more than 22 students in that state. the situation in the north-east especially is becoming more and more precarious. in the last two or three weeks more than 200 have been killed in attacks blamed on boko haram

insurgents. following the declaration of state of emergency three months ago, the situations here, why the state of emergency has been declared has improved with less and less attacks and normalcy returning to the states. in the last five or four weeks there has been an upsurge in the number of attacks carried out by boko haram. people are beginning to think that the bad old days are back. >> ahmed idris reporting. >> the government of kenya is facing questions as to whether they ignored a warning in relation to the nairobi mall. they received warnings that expected al-shabab members were planning suicide attacks at the westgate mall. we have obtained a copy of the document. we have more on that. >> this is a detailed document that goes into names, places, and it does appear that top

officials in this government were given copies of this report from the intelligence community. now, there are a lot of unanswered questions. why, if they were given the warning, wasn't anything done. why wasn't there added security at westgate mall, for example. now, in the meantime, the forensic investigations continue. we have seen some activity here. they are cysting through a whole load of evidence inside the building. they say most has been done. some of the key questions still remain unanswered like what has happened to the people who remain unaccounted for. dozens, according to kenya red cross. are those fighters who took part in the siege - are they buried in the rubble or did they manage to escape? >> nazanine moshiri reporting. >> millions of minimum wage workers are paying to get paid. i'll tell you why next on al

jazeera america. benyamin netanyahu's mission in new york - a warning about iran.

israeli prime minister

benyamin netanyahu arrived in new york this morning ahead of a speech at the united nations general assembly and a meeting with president obama at the white house monday. now, before leaving israel benyamin netanyahu told reporters he was coming to america to tell the truth about iran, and what he called the iranian president's smoke screen. >> translation: i will tell the truth in the face of the sweet talk and the onslaught of smiles. i must talk facts and one must tell the truth. telling the truth today is vital for the security and peace of the world and, of course, it is vital for the security of the state of israel. >> israel's security service says they arrested a suspected spy for rain. the man is a bell -- iran. the man is a belgium citizen he set up business ties as a front for spying. >> the israeli intelligent

services said the man arrested at ben gurian airport in september 11th, two weeks ago was alex mans travelling on a belgium passport, of iranian descent, born in iran, aged 55. he was arrested and held on suspicion of working for the iranian intelligence service, spying in israel. he told his interrogators that they promised to be paid a million dollars to carry out spying operations inside the state of israel, and he said that he had been involved in making contact with businesses in the tel aviv area that would facilitate regular access to the country. he visited israel three times in the last year and is now being held by the intelligence services. >> peter sharp reporting there. more companies are switching to

payroll card systems. millions of americans are hit with extra salary fees. the high fees mean workers earn less than minimum wage. new york attorney-general is investigating whether the system is legal. kath turner reports. >> natalie used to like working at mcdonald's until the company gave her a payroll card, loaded up with her wage and used at an atm like a debit card. the problem is fees, lots of them. natalie was not given a choice. >> i called hire up to see if they could do a direct deposit, a check, something. they told me i could activate the card or not get paid. >> she quit, hired a lawyer and sued mcdonald's. >> let's look at the fees. if natalie used the payroll card now, each time she checked her balance it would cost between

$1-$3. each purchase made with the card brings a fee of $0.50. withdrawing cash costs up to $6. if you chose not to use the card she could be penalised with an inactivity fee of $750. that -- $7.50, not leaving much when you earn $7.35. >> big retailsers are using the card. companies can save millions by switching to the payroll card. >> the payroll industry is growing, it's relatively new. there's a wide range of companies involved, a spectrum of costs associated with the cards, protections that people get, and other kinds of abusive practices. >> corporations insist they offer staff multiple ways to be paid and the payroll card helps workers without bank accounts. >> walgreens started to use payroll cards in 2004 as a pilot

program. employees have the option of being paid by direct deposit or check. in a statement wall green says. . >> i go online and check applications. >> natalie is looking for work online and at job fairs. she has a seven-year-old daughter to support. >> they are taking advantage of underage kids who don't understand fees and debit cards. i think they are taking advantage of people who are less fortunate or just struggling to find a job. >> natalie would rather be unemployed than watch her small salary become smaller without touching her money. >> the consumer financial protection bureau issued a bulletin warning employers against using payroll cards only to pay workers. by law workers must be able to

choose how to receive their wages. >> a pastor shot and killed - and you won't believe who called police.

welcome back. let's look at the top stories. we are one step closer to a government shutdown. early this morning the house of representatives passed a bill that would fund the government beyond monday only if the senate agrees to a year-long delay to the affordable health care. democrats promised to reject it. speaker boehner urged the senate to work today saying:

>> a church service in lieuiesiana turned into a crime scene after the priest was shot. the shooter called the dispatcher and told them what he had tonne. it happened during a revival. >> a dozen were killed after pakistan's south-west region was hit by an earthquake on saturday. the city is located in the same province where an earthquake killed 500. since then thousands have been sleeping outside in tents. clsh >> a severe typhoon is headed towards vietnam.

>> jalelah ahmed joins us. >> that typhoon is making its way across the china sea, typhoon wutip. it's a category 2 hurricane. we watch it as it barrels towards the west, across the south china sea, making contact with warmer water as it pushes towards the west. we expect to see heavy rainfall, showers and thunder storms will lead to flash flooding and mudslides. it's quiet across the pacific. take a look at the satellite across the gulf of alaska. over the next 48 hours we'll see quite a bit of heavy rainfall. the radar not as impressive. showers effecting seattle portland all the way down. the rain will be heavy. folks are urged to take it easy.

seattle and tacoma looking at flash flooding not just today but into tomorrow as well. elsewhere - it's 69 degrees in chicago, 74 in memphis, cooler than yesterday. there was a cold front swing, it ushered in a bit of moisture, across southern and central portions of texas which is good news for them given the fact they dealt with drought for the last several months. the rain is east of the houston area, making its way towards louisiana, and we'll deal with that later. as i said, we are looking at an improvement here in terms of the drought. this is the drought monitor from 17 september. take a look at texas within the last couple of days. the drought lessened there because of the fact that we have had several cold fronts push across the region. >> build it and the fans and money and the spotlight will

come. it's a promise echoed across the country by the big business of sport. the end game, a shiny new stadium. in miami the promises fell short and marlins' fans were left holding the bill. this is a horrible season for the team, third season where they finished last. people are unhappy on a lot of levels. >> that is true. this is the last game in the season. i am sure fans would rather forget. 2003 the last time the marlins won a world series - it must feel like a lifetime ago. there was a management shake up. the owner fired the president, the long-time president and his special assistant. >> it's been another lacklustre season for the miami marlins, with empty seats and stoer fronts in and around their half

a billion stadium, paid for by taxpayers. fans are disgusted with the marlins' losing streak. >> unless you have a winning franchise, the stadium is only as nice as the promiseses. >> there was a promise of an economic boom and revitalisation of little havana. when the commission voted to pay for it in 2008. >> as owner of a bar close to it. orlando padron envisioned fans taking a seat in the bar or buying liquor next door. since the stadium opened in 2012, on game days his regulars stay away and profits have not driven. >> translation: politicians may be referring to jobs created inside the stadium. i am not sure. as a business owner we don't see changes. you could say it's hurting us. >> taxpayers will pay up to $2 billion through 2049 thanks to interest rates on the bond. the scc investigating the

financing to see if there were irregularities like withholding information. >> the mayor carlos gimenez ousted his predecessor based on opposition to the deal. a good deal could have been negotiated, in this case it was not. >> the only good is a change of ownership, a competitive team. hopefully in the water more economic development will go to the area and you'll see more activity, i don't see it happening in the future. >> the marlins refused to speak to us. the owner took his message to the fans when he placed an ad in three of south florida's major newspapers, saying: >> there is anger over the stadium price tag and the politics behind it. >> transparency is key.

accountability is key. people learn from experience. this experience here in miami has become a national conversation. >> in florida the aftertaste of the marlins' stadium deal lingers. the florida legislature torpedoed miami dolphins request to fund renovations to the football stadium. the marlins play detroit tigers. despite filing bankruptcy the city of detroit is pitching in money to build a new arena. this is coveted money from sports teams. >> they found a way to get it down. where else is a controversy like this happening? >> in sacramento there is a new plan underway to build an arena downtown for the kings and a petition drive to kill it. what this initiative would do is

put a question on the ballot allowing voters to determine if they should fund the arena. >> i am sure it will continue to happen in sports towns across the country. >> the american daredevil known as the flying dagger, korl jeb corlis jumped out of a helicopter and went through a gap about 2 feet wide. >> it was the single gnarliest thing i have done. i have never experienced anything more hard core. >> he's completed 2,000 jumps over 15 years, some from eiffel tower, and the space needle. more news coming up at the top of the hour. check on the website. thank you for watching al

jazeera america. i'm rochelle cary. >> in myanmar, buddhist pagodas stand alongside mosques. followers of both faiths have lived side by side for centuries. but as a military run dictatorship transitions into a free and open nation, religious violence threatens to tear the country apart.
