this is al jazeera america, live from new york city. i'm tony harris with a look at today's top stories. >> there are enough republican and democratic votes in the house of representatives right now to end the shutdown. >> president obama calls for lawmakers to end the partial government shutdown >> the unsuccessful raid to capture a high-ranking commander in somalia.

washington is consumed by two major fiscal debates, and today president obama called on congress to get its act together. >> congress can do what is in the best interest of the economy and the american people, and that's move beyond this manufactured crisis and work together to focus on growth, jobs, and providing the vital services that americans all across the country depend on. >> the president's remarks come as the house got back to work this morning and the senate followed suit. these congressional leaders have a lot on their plates, but very little is being done about it. mike in his remarks today the president seemed to be pushing back against those who say he is not negotiating during the stalemate. >> well, you said the house and senate are going back to work

this morning. i guess that depends on how you define getting back to work. it's clear that at least publicly these two sides have hardened their positions, there is not a much of a glimmer of hope that the shutdown will end any time soon, and many people expect it to bleed into the next big fight with more dire consequences, and that is the debt ceiling expiration on october 17th. the president went about a mile to southwest to fema headquarters. he thanked the people for dealing with tropical storm karen, 86% of fema employees are furloughed and many are working without pay. he hit john boehner hard. over the weekend boehner is claim that he did not have the votes to pass the continuing

resolution to keep the resolution open. the president, his spokesman, any number of democrats saying that is nonsense. >> a heard a lot of talk over the weekend that the real problem is that the president will not negotiate. well, let me tell you something, i have said from the start of the year, that i'm happy to talk to republicans about anything related to the budget. there is not a subject i am not willing to engage in, work on, negotiate, and come up with common sense compromises on. what i have said is i cannot do that under the threat that if republicans don't get 100% of their way they are going to shut down the government or default on america's debt. >> and there you heard the president saying once again a variation of what he has been saying all along. he will not negotiate with

respects as long as there is this hostage situation. speaker boehner delivered a fired address saying it is the president that is not negotiating. >> the president's refusal to negotiate is hurting our economy and putting our country at risk. this morning a senior white house official saad the president would rather default than to sit down and negotiate. really? i'm going to say this again, a senior white house staffer this morning said that the president would rather default on our debt than to sit down and negotiate. now the american people expect when their leaders have differences, in a time of crisis, that we'll sit down and at least have a conversation. really, mr. president, it's time to have that conversation before our economy is put further at

risk. >> and tony one thing that may be troubling to a lot of policy maker the pew organization took a poll and four in ten americans say we can go past the deadline to raise the debt ceiling, essentially go into default and there would not be a major problem with the economy, and if you poll tea party members, 64% of tea party members agree with that, and the tea party members in the house of representatives is the ones who are keeping john boehner's feet to the fire on this. >> i heard the same thing today. this idea of a clean government funding bill, is any work being done on that? >> no, again, everybody is just talking past each other, and it is all bleeding into this next

big deadline, we heard many saying this not going to be a problem. the big problem is if the nation goes past that debt ceiling deadline. >> and how about back pay? guaranteeing when this ends, folks who have been furloughed will get back pay? >> that is a very interesting question. we know some 300,000 defense employees were called back to work to today by chuck hagel, the secretary of defense. the house of representatives over the weekend passed a bill that would guarantee they would get back pay. the senate have deferred that until later in the week but they are still expected to pass that. >> mike, thank you. and wall street is getting pretty nervous about the ongoing government shutdown and ongoing debate.

dow down by as much as 150 points just after trading this morning. the u.s. is facing fallout from one of two weekend raids in north africa. there was alrage after a commander was captured outside of his home. he was believed to be involved in the bombings that killed more than 200 people. jonathan betz is here with more on the raid in somalia. >> the target in libya was captured but not in somalia. sale team six, the same group that got osama bin laden stormed a seaside villa here not far from mogadishu.

they took on heavy fire and had to pull out. the americans killed several people, but it is not clear who. the target of that raid is this man. he is a mysterious figure. there are no public photos of him phone, but he is thought to be involved with theater -- terror networks. he is a key leader in al-shabab and was behind several other terror plots, including plans to target kenyan's parliament. with the failure of the u.s. raid it is likely he remains a very serious threat, tony. >> thank you, jonathan. a team of international

experts is destroying syria's chemical weapons stockpile, secretary of state john kerry spoke about the efforts this morning. >> i think it is extremely significant that yesterday, sunday, within a week of the resolution being passed some chemical weapons were already being destroyed. i think it's also credit to the assad regime for complying rapidly as they are supposed to. now we hope that will continue. i'm not going to vouch today for what happens months down the road, but it's a good beginning, and we should welcome a good beginning. it has been a bloody day in iraq's capital. the attacks were the late nest a surge of violence lately.

more violence in egypt, as blast killed at least four people in sinai, while six egyptian soldiers were killed. we are joined now by our colleague in cairo whom we are not naming for security reasons. do we know whether today's attacks were related to the weekend clashes? >> i don't think that we can say that they are definitely related to the weekend clashes, because there has been no suggestion that the muslim brotherhood or members of the anti-coup alliance have anything to do with what happened in the two incidents where soldiers and police officers were killed in different parts of the sigh any peninsula, but it's certainly worth making the point that the situation in egypt is quite volatile.

but you cannot say with any certainty that there is any deliberate relation between yesterday's events -- and there's today. >> okay. we're losing the signal a little bit. i'm going to try one question. how are things now are more protests expected? >> reporter: well, we can certainly say that the anti-coup alliance are talking about more protests this week, and the holiday is coming up here, a very important time for muslims, which is due within the next eight days. some people in the universities have talked about trying to jack -- more opposition to the government what they call a regime here, and they are planning to do something this friday. we are aware of that, but there is also a suggestion that there may be more protests coming up for this friday. >> all right. let's leave it there.

our correspondent in cairo who we are naming for security reasons. according to constitutional experts these cases could have a bigger impact. >> the supreme court term will feature a series of cases that challenged previous rulings on abortion, campaign finance, and others. in the campaign finance the court could throw out precedent that has been in place for 40 years. individuals are not allowed to give a candidate more than $2,600 per election. but public integrity groups worry that the roberts court

will blow out limits to individuals as well, and allow more money to flow through. on the abortion protests, the supreme court will examine buffer lines outside of clinics. the court will decide whether the buffer zones violate the first amendment freedom of action. on affirmative action, the issue which could effect the university of michigan and michigan state university is whether the state constitutional amendment violates equal protection principals. last year the supreme court upheld key parts of the law as constitutional. now the court will examine the requirement that insurance providers cover contraception.

and the court will address the issue of recess appointments, what the constitution means when the president may fill up all vacancies during the recess of senate. finally, in a court divided by adeology and appointment, the swing just advertise will again be the man at the center of the screen, anthony kennedy. he gave a speech last week noting his frustration with the role the supreme court now plays. he said, quote, any society that relies on nine unelects judges to decide the most important issues of the day is not a functioning democracy. most of these rules will come at the end of the session. >> thank you, david. southeastern china is dealing

storms move through. if you are east of this line, it will quickly turn from calm to stormy. breaks up just a little bit here over long island, but forms again in new jersey down through delaware, into maryland and virginia. how about the timing of this. depending on where you are, you will be dealing with these storms. in the next three hours it will be pushing through england here just west of boston through rhode island and all the way through long island. that is 9:00. but midnight, it should be moving through maine and just off of the coast of massachusetts. so as the storms move through, wind gusts will pick up. these are severe storms and they are moving quickly, about 60 miles an hour. dave, thank you. it was 12 years ago today that the war in afghanistan started. we'll take a look at the every

starting to become a little worried about, a, the shutdown and what might be looming ahead? >> i believe so. so we basically talked to a number of investors at reuters, and what it turns out to be is that as each day passes, there's more and more concern about why is there no data on jobs numbers and data missing, and every day that passes there are a lot of government workers that are not looking through the anti-trust signs, so there are a lot of things like that. >> what are your corporate sources saying to you about the shutdown? how worried are they really? and do they believe that washington and the lawmakers can get their act together. >> i think right now investors are saying, we feel okay.

they are fairly confident. >> really? >> yes. [ laughter ] >> we haven't gotten to the point where it is so dire. they are using 2011 as an example where you can negotiate at a 11th hour a deal. >> but that's on the budget. >> it is. but with the government shutdown you are getting your third quarter numbers and you have this debt celling hanging over you. >> and the blackberry story has taken a turn. there was at least the framework of a deal on the table with one company to buy or take it private, and now there are all of the other players that are expressing interest. >> you are right. there was a deal reached with the largest institutional

provider. and since then googles, sap, and others have been invited to see if they are interested in blackberry or parts of blackberry. >> and what do you think about as a possible deal for blackberry, a company that has been hemorrhaging. >> i here hear ya. there are parts like the network security, the patent portfolio that blackberry offers is attractive. but the shares are trading around $8 right now. to try to get $9 is a stretch. >> let me borrow just a little bit of time, but what has happened to blackberry. i'm one of the few people who still uses them -- >> i have two of them. i have the c10.

>> the new one? >> yeah. >> you are the only one that bought one. >> i know. >> what happened to that company? >> what happened is apple happens, google happened. and what has happened with research in motion which is now blackberry, they forgot to advance their technology. so they have lost -- they lost their way, and they are a canadian national treasure, so you know the canadian government is watching this closely as well. >> good to talk to you and spend some time with you. thank for being here. airbus has named its first deal to provide plains to japanese airlines. it is a break through for airbus in a growing market.

>> reporter: it's important for many company to be able to break the dominance of arrival in a major market, and that's exactly what the french plane maker, abbott has achieved. >> translator: we are confident we can offer comfortable travel in the air with the aircraft. this development is in full progress towards its launch in 2014. by 2019 it will be in a fully prepared state. >> reporter: for 31 planes, it's the biggest order ever for abbott, and japan air lines has the option of buying another 25. the deal follows recent successes elsewhere. in total they are worth more than $13 billion. the region is predicted to be the biggest market.

in january, this plane was grounded after problems with fuel leaks and overheating batteries. airbus say the a350 uses 25%less fuel. this could explain why carriers are choosing the plane. the plain maker says it hopes to deliver the first a350s by the end of next year. ♪ michael eves is here with a look at the sports headlines. wait a minute, michael, didn't hockey season just start? >> it just started and there has already been a coaching change. he was fired after three

straight losses to open the season. making it the earliest firing since 1971. he lead the flyers to three straight playoff appearances before they strumabled and missed the playoffs last year. and josh freeman will $3 million for the rest of this season plus the $6 million that the buccaneers still owe him. and the eagles could be juggling quarterbacks again after michael vick injured his hamstring yesterday. he left the game in the second quarter. nick foals came on in relief and threw two touchdown passes as the eagles beat the giants. chip kelly would not say who his starter would be on sunday. more news a little bit later. >> thank you michael. there are too many and too

young forced into dangerous conditions. and u.s. forces captures an al-qaeda leader.

welcome back to al jazeera america. here is a look at your top stories, seven days after the government partially shutdown there is still no end to the stalemate. speaking at a visit at fema in washington, president obama said there are enough republicans and democrats in the house of representatives to end the shutdown. there is outrage in libya after a map was captured outside of his home in tripoli on saturday. he believed to have been the mastermind that killed 220 people. hundreds of miles away u.s. military tried to capture an

al-shabab leader. and that attempt failed. and from d.c. to boston, strong wind could impact air travel. let's check in right now with meteorologist dave warren. >> yeah, a lot of wind gusts reported at over 60 miles an hour. these are actual warnings big area with severe thunderstorm warnings. the line is moving quickly about 60 miles an hour. solid line here right along the border of new york. this is now moving through new england. it is bowing out in some areas, that is an indication of some very powerful winds. air traffic is being held in this area because the weather is so severe. this is just about to move off of the coast of new jersey but

the rain doesn't end. an update on the severe weather will be coming up later. thank you, dave. the attempted capture of a man in libya was questioned after u.s. forces captured the man on sunday. libya has not commented on the allegations. secretary of state john kerry says he was a legal and appropriate target. joining us now is jennifer cook. she is the director for african programs at the international study of american call programs. is libya in your mind cooperating on intelligence with western countries in the way

that we know that somalia is? >> that's very hard to tell. and the libya government has said that this was done without their approval, although there is some speculation that some elements of the government knew about it, and others didn't. so there is a lot we don't know as of yet. these are legally sovereign governments, but they are shown neither the capacity nor the will to track down and intercept who we and others in the region have deemed are worthy of capture and removal and trial. >> does the capture of the aledged al-qaeda leader, instead of the u.s. killing him with a drone strike, does that represent to you a changing approach to the use of drones

against al-qaeda or aledged al-qaeda members by america? >> it's probably too early to tell if it's actually a trend. the drone strikes have been incredibly controversial. there's the possibility of unintended consequences and a popular backlash. various groups like al-shabab using that as kind of a recruiting tool. obviously thissing kind of strike and the one attempted in somalia are much more targeted and focused. the intelligence that is possible when you make a capture and able to take computers and files and what not is much more useful and is usually destroyed in a drone strike. so the opportunity has to be there. the intelligence has to be there, and i think this kind of capture is preferable, but i'm

not sure we can say there is a trend. >> the one thing both countries have in common are pretty unstable governments. how worried are you that both of those countries will continue on the downward trajectory, and where does the effort come from to help them be safe from terrorists? >> regional partners have to be coordinating and tracking people and goods and arms that support those terror networks, and the international community which has the capabilities to support that. so it's really an international effort that needs to be made. those governments themselves are extremely weak.

they don't have the government -- [ technical difficulties ] -- on their own. it needs to be a collective efforts. and the regional partners are not also in a position to do that. there is still a lot of support they need to get that job done. >> jennifer, that's a great analysis. thank you so much. >> yep. >> jennifer thank you. it was 12 years ago today that u.s. military action began in afghanistan. today afghanistan's president discussed the impending security deal with the united states. if a deal is not reached there will be no american troops in the country after 2014. jennifer glass has a look at what has changed in the country since the war began.

>> reporter: this man says the cooking business in iraq wasn't good under the taliban. he remembered the day the war started and he hoped for change. >> reporter: we had no roads, no businesses, no industry, compared with then, it's 100% better. >> reporter: he now ships cookies all over the countries, something he couldn't dream of 12 years ago. then the streets were policed by taliban vice squads. it is clear they are flourishing. 12 years after the united states came to afghanistan, their biggest concern isn't freedom. it's security. the new prosperity has brought crime notably against the wealthy in the form of kidnapping, but the taliban is not a major threat here in the

city, and women are not only out on the streets but in schools. english teacher went most of her high school years studying in secret. >> i remember the time of the taliban. we were at home. we did nothing. >> this student was about 6 years old when she had a run in with the taliban. she went to the local shop for canada. the taliban objected. >> they pointed their guns to me, saying what are you doing here. you are a girl. go home. under the taliban virtually no girls went to school. 40% of the student population are women. more than 40% of the afghan refugees have come home. but there is still fighting across the country most often in afghanistan's east and south.

america's longest war has put power back in the hands of the afghan people, and isn't over yet. jennifer glass al jazeera america, afghanistan. four americans were killed in the southern part of the nation on saturday. policy makers are meeting in brazil for a major conference on child labor. their mission to eliminate the most severe forms of child labor by 2016. there are 168 million children between the ages of 5 and 7 working around the world. of particular concern those doing mining. it affecting their health, safety, and development. the majority of child laborers are in the asia-pacific region, where nearly 78 million work.

child labor is a major issue in india where tens of thousands of children are sent down into dangerous coal mines. >> reporter: descending into the depths of danger, this 17-year-old starts another day by crawling into the mine to dig for coal, but just a few minutes in, he realizes there is something wrong. a heavy rock has collapsed on another miner, crushing his legs. the workers manage to free him, but he is clearly shaken. >> every time i go to work, i think the roof is crushing in on top of me. i just feel like getting out of there. >> reporter: he has been working here since he was 15. local activists believe around 70,000 children like him work in

these so-called rat holes because adults are usually too big. i'm standing on a temporary wooden platform and there is a drop of about 40 feet beneath me. there are caverns that the children crawl into for coal. they literally have to go on their stomachs to fit into the holes. accidents are not uncommon, and when they occur, the workers are sometimes buried alive. >> the minors have no training, and live in squaller next to coal pits. this ma'am has been lobbying the government to rescue them, but nothing has been done, because most of illegal migrants. >> reporter: the dead bodies are not actually being taken back

because they are not being reported because it's actually illegal migration. >> land owners use manual efforts to dig for coal. she is trying to get them to use modern machines so children would no longer be needed. >> there is no child labor laws. you can report me in the international news i don't mind for that. >> what about coal mining? >> coal mining, we are not concerned coal mining because [ inaudible ]. >> reporter: this is one of the children that work here. his only goal is to one day earn enough money to leave. and tuesday our focus turns to nigeria. that country banned child labor ten years ago.

but 15 million children are still working there. there is a window to new discoveries on the ocean floor. daniel lack takes a look. >> back to where we were. it moves really quickly. >> reporter: with just a laptop and the internet, the world comes alive for this man. he tracks tech tonic plate moves, but the parade of sea movement keeps him entertained. >> there is another one coming right at the camera. very exciting. >> yes, sir. >> attracted by the lights and lasers. >> reporter: another camera model tested before heading to the west coast. images have streamed online and put in an archive. scientists and members of the

public are invited to watch and send in descriptions of what they see. in this video, the moving feature is a hag fish. another animal pops into view and eats the fish. it's an elephant seal, and no one has ever seen them at that depth before. until this 14-year-old saw it online. >> translator: now the scientists send me videos to watch to see if i can make another discovery. >> reporter: the project also uses robotics, and a testered rover called wally that is run remotely. its daily walks own the sea floor, help them gather more data. >> this is the beginning of a 25-year project, and so we are

going to be gathering these long-time series of data at frequent intervals, and that will allow us to characterize what is happening in this environment. >> reporter: the goal of the scientists is to make it possible to replicate their work, setting up more networks beheath other seas and adding to a growing body of knowledge about the oceans of the world. what is in a name? the campaign to get an nfl team to change its mascot. and the olympic flame arrives in russia, ahead of the olympic games. ♪ uncovers unheard, fascinating news stories? >>they share it on the stream. >>social media isn't an afterthought. it drives discussion across america. >>al jazeera america social media community, on tv and online. >>this is your outlet for those conversations.

their full meeting there later this week. while we were there we were looking out for nfl owners arrive, but we think they were a day early to be honest with you. so we were looking for nfl owners, but we didn't see any. so the onita nation making a good point, but just a bit early if it wanted to embase as any of the nfl owners. >> what are they demanding? total name change? >> reporter: total name change, because they say it is very racist, and they make the point that it upsets a lot of natural american people around the country. they are upset to it. they are depressed by it. it leads to mental and physical strain when they hear it on the radio or in the stadium, and long-term illness as well. and they want the name to go

completely saying it is racist, and saying you wouldn't have a team in washington called the washington negroes. so the word red skin is as offensive to a natural american as the n record is to an african american. >> what has been the owner's or team's response? >> well, the onita has a real phillip in the weekend when president obama weighed in on this, he said if he was the owner of the team he would think about changing the name. but the redskins said, look, we have a storied history, our fans honor the indian nation by

clay buck -- buchholz their best pitcher. you take a look at the dodgers and braves. nick caught a lot of flak for the trades he made. how vindicated is he feeling? >> he is feeling very vindicated. he had to make jokes because they couldn't spending money. the owner wasn't going to spend any. nobody had any kind of respect for this organization. he was doing what he could making chickel salad out of other kinds of kicken, and he finally made the post of it. ramirez, and puwee, bringing him
