protestors e remain on the street. earlier today, security forces stopped them as they tried to march for a tahrir square. demonstrators gathered hour ohs in to the protest dozens are dead and inhundreds are injured. we are not naming our correspondent for security reasons. >> reporter: egypt's day of national celebration took to oh the streets. some trying to march at tahrir square. a symbol of existence from the revolution. security is tight in the surrounding areas. police use tear gas to control the crash. live ammunition was also in the air to drive people back. it's against what they consider to be an e li illegitimate

government. >> the streets are full of people which struggle against this curl and we will do our best inshallah. >> we are all the muslim people. we are one human. some have come with one purpose in mind. >> the anti-coup protestors can't come here because the egyptian people this protect egyptian. we are willing to die and sacrifice ourselves. >> it was day marked by celebrations on one side and protest on the other.

>> from the east, stacks of cairo, violent -- reports suggests a number oh of dead and injured. >> october 6th was a meant marked. a day when people have achievement. but for these people on the streets of cairo that is the last day on their mind. bashar al assad's regime appears to be oh operating with

inspectors. it reports on a job of destroying syria's chemical ar sarsenal. from losing a chemical weapons in the war. the organization from a prohibition of chemical weapons are responsible for this task. he's cooperating and that some stockpiles are now being destroyed. >> it's difficult to the assess how the chemical weapons are and where they're located. the main challenges are be able to destroy the weapons and the chemical components in a safe and secure way in the middle of a war zone it's been done before.

u.n. inspectors have never had to go in and seize a control and destroy weapons of mass destruction while fighting was still waging. >> others, though, are skeptical about president asha assad thate could be disposing his arsenal for political gain. >> it's until such time until he delivers on the promises he made of chemical weapons. and the process and the difficult that i think that bashar could calculate and this process going to the middle of 2014 this are actually coming out on top.

>>his mote ohive and motive and. >> destroying syria's stockpile and former weapons inspector. good to have you with us. >> what's the most effective way of getting rid of these chemical weapons. >> they have begun a destruction oh of the production equipment and some of the unfilled robert mugabe missions. this is equipment that can be destroyed by simple means and running over the bulldozeer.

they are destroying their infrastructure in the 1990s it's very simple and effective. there's so many questions that remain. are these chemical weapons being destroyed inside syria? >> the ought, however, i would separate the issue of weapons and the production equipment. than is the chemicals that go inside these and it's yet to be decide whether that will be destroyed or removed. oreothers are -- that's a longer term more difficult issue. it is cooperating. tkrou think that cooperation will last?

>> . well, in taking my first team up and just need to reconstitute their chemical weapons after a march oh of their inspectors destroying the production equipment and the emissions. i believe the report said. he obviously has the rational for this and doesn't decide the chemical weapons are bad for it. he wants to have the international -- and the russians are putting a lot of pressure on them. they now have their prestige on the line as well. i expect the russians will make sure that he has promises to do on this chemical weapons point. you u have what pass, hezbollah and a al qaeda, how do they get rid of these chemical weapons. they factor in two ways. it moves some of the nightmare scenarios in the process of this

war and as the regime may desin grate. those weapons risk forming in to the hands of those people. it's a destruction is a step in the right direction and moving that threat that these chemical weapons are in the hands. >> which country member responsible for the residue of these chemical weapons? >> my guess is they will move to russia. they've got a big stake in this process but other countries may step up including some of the european ones. >> the appreciate your time today. >> thank you. >> secretary of state john kerry and other terrorists around the world can run but they can't hide. the comments came after twin raids saturday after u.s. forces in somalia and libya. an al qaeda leader wanted for his role in the 1998 # bombing of two u.s. ep embassies in afr.

>> it was an attack south of somalia but it had a number of security forces who confirmed that it was the units that was also responsible for killing osama bin laden back in 2011. they also understand the leader of al-shabab. the americans have acknowledgeed and which killed in the understand from al-shabab that he was a junior guard. the fact that al-shabab was able to fight off one of the most elite in the world.

>> it is very well organized and fight off that kind of attack the. they suggest that that combineed with the skill and the organization behind it suggests a they are -. the kidnapping and they're demanding answers and they con contradict earlier statements. >> it's injured in the attack against the u.s. in kenya on

saturday. it ended a 15-year man hunt and the militant accused -- >> the masked men came out of the car and they jumped out. their their features they were obviously libyan. were. >> reporter: there was $5 million-dollar bounty on his head. >> this makes clear that the united states of america will never stop in its effort to hold those accountable with con

tkubgts acts of terror. another terrorist organization. literally can run but they can't hide. after graduating from tr i poli university he spent some time in sudan before heading to britain in 1995 where he was arrested in scotland yard a year after the bombing. now where his whereabouts are unknown but suspected that one of the al qaeda mastermind may appear in a new york federal courtroom less than a half mile from the world trade center. it has now been six days since the government shut down but near lay week since congress failed to compromise. he ordered 350,000 defense workers back on the job. even as the house provided back

pay, congress remains far from reaching a deal. >> yo we enjoy some of the sun shine in october right now. they spent allle day in their weekly address to the nation. u he this did the same thing for the democrats. those programs will air early in the morning on sunday and it's exactly the same with various people with various parties coming on.

they were making packed lunches and polishing their shoes. they have to go back in there. they say they can't run without them and using the military act back in the door to get them down and 800,000 federal workers have been furloughed across the country around the world. they will get back pay as a result in the house yesterday. they will get it once this stand off comes to an end. let's hear a couple arguments that have been put forward, shall we? first is round four and it's the junior sthat or the in kentucky and he's bringing it back to what he sees is enough of the issue which is the affordable care act. some call it obama care as you

know. it's a one year and we have been offering compromise. of course the democrats say give us a clean and we will flood the house with democrats. it will pass and will be to to n boehner. it's kind of important. on the 17th of october.

it's mettl with the bigger issue. >> it could be very bad. it hurt the economy to get close to the. it's stock market that we saw we saw october 17th deadline could well be an incentive for both sides to get this initial issue sorted out. we just don't know. this is a feeling an capitol hill and before we see the october 17th deadline. >> it's very difficult to know who will blink first. we though that there's nobody on capitol hill.

it's deserted and the house will be back. all we can really say is stay tuned. >> and the americans are left wondering in washington for us. appreciate it. >> john kerrvy in indonesia. on monday he will be attending the summit. crop call depression "karen" is now -- the stop prompted evacuation an karen -p fizzled and was downgradeed to a tropical depression.

>> first of all, the radar imand, and this this is next to some moisture that popped up and the care and up towards the north. just off the north of alabama and now slowly moving toward the east over here towards next week just parallel to the coast of florida. it's the moisture that will cause a problem in the next couple days a part of georgia still, al *l alabama as well as up here towards the carolinas. we will see another one to two inches. it's well over the next 24 hours. not all rembrance will be called and up the eastern. it's towards china and this is a tropical storm that made land

$32 million in salary, and he wouldn't be back on the field until he is 40 years old. the big story tonight, people, the rays will be taking on the rangers in a tiebreaker in arlington, so we decided to bring in our mlb columnist rob parker.

they have been discovered and stocked in the last several weeks. . at least four u.s. troops have been killed during a joints military operation in southern afghanistan. that's according to a report from the associated press. the attack happened in the kondahar province. imagine living in a town. you're convinced is toxic. that's a complaint in new mexico. they blame a local chemical warehouse. when they asked the own ter.

they took matters in their own hands. these local residents -- i can smell it. i was capturing it but what does it mean. it's a company to help in the town it else is fertilizer. so we started in the air sample to be examined by scientist on the west can coast. it's not a chemical plant's community. it's not named hulena, new new mexico. >> we talked to two company managers on the phone.

long before the chemical company came to town. >> the air sample arrived.

that happened in gary, indiana where you can find just that deal. and a muslim cleric with alleged ties to al-shabab is murdered. human rights activists believe the death may have involved kenyan law enforcement. together unexpected voices closest to the story, invite hard-hitting debate and desenting views and always explore issues relevant to you.

>> the police will soon head back to work.

defense secretary has the workers in furlough because of the shut down will be back back on the job. >> special forces law force lauo raids. fit targeted the -- it targeted the top leader of al-shabab. the attack on a sendia kenyan. >> american troops captured an al qaeda leader wanted for his role in the bombing in africa. it killed more than 250 people. the libyan government.

>> first of all, how significant is the capture of abu in tr ipo li and taking out the leader of al-shabab? >> well, first of all, going after alibi demonstrates that john kerry says 15 years might have passed be u the united states still remains committed to bringing those people involved to justice. i think it's important for terrorist around the world to understand that the united states will never stop hunting them down after the attack of the american interests. >> when taking out these top leaders, why is it necessary to take them alive perhaps using drones? well, the drones are going to kill and believe it at that by bringing in the top intelligence leaders and the top leader and you gain a significant amount of intelligence about how the

organization operates and who the other leaders are and quite frankly it's an exam that this st-pbt about murdering and killing terrorists but bringing them the to oh justice. >> there's several questions being raised about libi and what legality is he being held on? >> he certainly has a number of warrants as a result of east african bombings. those warrants have been outstanding for at least the last 15 years. the number of people that were killed in the east african bombings and those in nairobi certainly merit bringing him in front of the southern district court in new york for crimes of terrorism. >> we're looking at these groups such as al qaeda. what do these khaurps do for them? -- khaurps do for them? well, first of all, we've got to understand that there's not remaining in a central core of al qaeda in eastern

afghanistan or western pakistan. that make -t it more the widespread. if you can take tout leaders of these smaller cells. it facilitates shutting down those familiar cells. they have connected but only in a virtual sense but only in a virtual sense. sop by bringing the leadership down, you can make a significant impact on the smaller cells. this is significant for u.s. going after terrorist world wide. it's a pretty bold move by the president. does this have any consideration you think? >> no, i really don't. in the wake of the west gate mall killings in the development of the intelligence, these things don't happen along a political calendar but they have based on an intelligence calendar based on events on the

ground. i think those people suggest that this is a part of the administration and somehow demonstrate. >> what is on the hour. our military and what does he say about our intel? >> >> you said two different things. the capthe capabilities are dif. they can reach any country around the world. however, spel intelligence is ot capability and that made it more difficult over long distances especially where you don't have a lot of assets on the ground. i appreciate your time, thank you. kenyan police could be ignoring key evidence in the investigation of last week's killing of four muslim men. they are accused oh of having connections to al-shabab. human rights activists say it

could have been a killing possibly linked to the mall attacks. >> reporter: uncovered what should be part of the investigation in to the murders of four men. one a muslim cleric accused of having connections to the al-shabab somali group. the a car was ambushed by gunmen last thursday night. he was killed along with three friends who attend his mosque. the muslim community leaders say this is related to a string of extrextrajudicial -- it's showny interest. least of all.

it's actually examineing. >> that is -- it's known to develop. >> after friday's and four people died, the police are on high alert. two somalis are arrested on sunday and the police chief says they are not connected to the west gate mall attack. there's fear like people like this man who said he was arrested and ordered to become an informant for al zs al-shaba. he's on his way to a safe house.

it's only sympathy for al-shabab or terrorism. christian preachers were able to have their normal service on sunday. this is their message. stop before we find ourselves in a religious confrontation. >> six days until the government shut down and still no end in sight. secretary of defense ordered 350,000 defense workers back on the job just as the house

authorized back pay for the federal workers stuck at home. congress is no closer to reopening the government. joining me now is a political strategist and founder of brooklyn strategys. what are the consequences as the shut down goes down. it's pacei it is a basic t. on a regular basis we are slowly and not running the country more and more and eventually that money that we're not putting in to the economy that way is going to add up. the greater consequence should be that could be will be that the u.s. loses its reputation around the world and it's harder to do business with the countries and the economy suffers and everything gets worse. >> the american companies -- it's embarrassing, frankly. the president was supposed to

take a trip to asia this week. they were open for business. they were able to make it to their promise. it's in a couple weeks and put everybody on edge. >> what do you think shut down will be for what they are on the october 17th deadline. >> well, logically that october 17th deadline should mean the end of a shut down. >> we are not dealing with logic these days. washington we could have a perfect storm of problems that could really set america adrift. >> it doesn't take congress serious. they said well, if the it's shut down and the story before. they have a different tune. you cannot -- i think that's

going to be the react and approach this in 2 2011. just approaching the debt ceiling and that was tragic for the economy. >> do you think that october 17th deadline. >> you know, i think the only way this works is if it doesn't look like anything blinked. i don't know how that happens right now. >> well what will that mean for the president if he did come to the table. what would he mean? >> well, it's hard to let the president do his job when you're not authorizing basic things like letting the government operate. and this isn't really congress that's standing up. it's a small faction that is in the republican majority. and he's right not to deal with those people directly. you should not make these desixths idecision under duress.

>> >> the city desperate for review tall is now offer the sale. it's less. john has more. >> it's an offer some homeowners find hard to refuse. a house, the program became available and that was great opportunity. that's right. gary, indiana is offering a home for $1. you need to make $5,000 a year, the building to fix it up within six months and the patients to live in it for five years it's the latest effort by a left out city to cope with an unwanted bounty of abandoned homes. bankrupt of choice is tearing them down but that's expensive. about $10,000 each.

and in tkparry it's everywhere next to city hall and at the old post office and now in urban harbor. >> this represents gary's payday and built in 1925 and abandoned and like so much in this town it's going to be allowed to fall apart and now the city can't afford to tear it down. >> inside, nature is slowly reclaiming the tkpr the tkpwra i structure. tkparry's forchildren soaregary. the dreams of a museum to gary's most famous son, michael jackson turning this airfield in to chicago and just 45 kilometers away. first she needs to make gary look more like a city and less

than a ghost town. >> question will not only add value to to the city but we add value to the adjacent homeowners and that has a rippling affect. >> the major should know. she bought this house in 1980. she's bringing the buck a home deal back. >> i would rather take a $1 home that may need $1 o $$10 or $15,0 investment and all i pay is r my taxes and in five years i have the deed to the house. the american dream. but it's like scooping the sapbsd of the lake shore. the city hopes to sell 50 houses a year. $s10,000 are apan abandoned. >> the kwaoebg of nfl action is in full swing with some intriguing match ups. we have more coming up in
