being with us. >> the long day's journey to an end of washington's stalemate may finally come tonight. but even after the first hopeful signs to the resolution of twin budget crisis. both sides delivered measured promises and only promises to keep talking. while we under score it's not at the primary players in the fight. we wanted to take a look at the players that have made this impasse possible. david joins us. all righall right, david what ir best guess is this is is a thio the end. >> i don't think there would be a movement off zero unless both sides are willing to get to the end. the end is the budget wars that may last to the election we weir talkinweare talking about an ene

deadlock that may end six weeks. >> sometime thanksgiving time. >> it was going to be november 22nd and now it's november 20th but it's a full week before thanksgiving. that is what triumph would look like a six-week ex-tonings of ee budget wars. what got us to this point? what was the impetus that made a little movement? i don't want to be too optimistic here. >> you don't want to be too optimistic. but the republicans were ready to get off at dead zero when the speaker came out and proposed the clean raise of the debt limit for six-week. what that was a signal was that he had concluded that the conservative republican team said this was not working for him. the polls had consistently shown it was not working. they were not going to be moving

the president on obamacare. this is supposed to be on obamacare and it's not now. that is so the one day ago. and that beyond that, members of the conservative republicans we are hearing from back home that it was not working and it's time to move forward and do something else. by any estimat estimate we coulk at a civil point by thanksgiving. >> we are only tonight talking about reowning th re-opening tht as well there is only talk. in that theirr theory that coull apart. it looks like now it's going to be a coordinated discussion of doing both. but only for a few weeks and only so they are essentially agreeing to cree a create an ow-

opening to have the next rail discussion. >> we appreciate i can with us tonight david hawkings. we will keep a close eye on the capitol and the white house. here in washington another seemingly endless fight is over abortion rights the efforts chip away at rove v wade has moved out across the state. at the state level there are different tacticses. lawmakers have made measures to ban them after to weeks and many places it's been effective anti-abortion forces. >> in four stailts the number has dwindled to one we go to one of those places in jackson, mississippi.

>> dr. parker is packing for a trip he takes every year. i will eventually end up in mississippi. >> now he literally goes out of his way to perform abortions. he makes the trek 800 miles from his chicago home and ends up here in this bright pink building on downtown jackson street. >> it's the only abortion clinic in mississippi. dr. parker is a familiar figure here. >> good morning, doctor. let's do lunch sometime. >> he is one of three doctors in the entire state that perform legal abortionings. abortions. inside he knows his safety is at risk. >> we know people have been murdered providing this care.

i'm not in denial about that. i have chosen to choose how i live and i choose to life of service. >> it was dr. martin luther king jr. who inspired him to provide the service that many other doctors wouldn't. >> i come to mississippi because women should not be denied their rights because they are in mississippi. i wouldn't have come to mississippi if all of the doctors that have been harassed or stopped providing the soar service. that means the women here would have no access. >> no accession is what pro life activists are hoping for. with the implementation of a new state law that will close the clinic. >> ultimately we want to abortions and if the clinic closes that would be better for women's health. because in no way shape or form do we believe that abortion is

good for women's health. you look at emotional and physical scargs tha scars that g time. >> she supports the law that requires doctors to have admitting privileges at local hospitals. it's something that no doctor has been age t able to attain. >> i have been told that the fact that we provide abortion was not in their mission. >> they told us we were not eligible and they halted the process. that was 13 hospitals. >> dr. paryke parker is fightine new law in court. this afternoon he carries on with the work he intended to do. >> they have high unintended pregnancy rates the need was there. i think the need is more pronounced in mississippi. the reason that people have abortions are not related to

their morals. dozens of teens come to the facility and some come with their mothers. e. others comothers come alone. not all stay. many are from poor rural comeudges. communities. others travel miles to get here. like this single mother who doesn't want to show their face. >> it's the worst place to have an unplanned pregnancy. oh, my gosh. over where is so far to drive. she drove two hours to end her pregnancy and she is 31, in the military and a college student. mississippi law mandates that she has a chance to see the you will multra sound and listen toe heart beat. the sounds are not comfortable to her.

>> every time i chose to keep it i iit was negative and i felt dn and tierl tired and depressed an i chose to aboor abort it i was happier and it came to, you know what, it's the right choice. a faint scent of cleaning supplies fill the air as with te women go back to wait for dr. parker. >> he gives them ammunition for the protestors outside. >> abortion is healthcare. you may have seen people outside who tell you how bad you are and thakind of thing. you can never be wrong to take care of your health. >> he provides one-on-one counselling too. i am here fo to be by your side. i want you to be sure.

>> i'm not sure right now. that is why this visit is very important. that is as valid as saying no i don't want to do it or yes, i do. >> what is going through your mind today? >> what is going through my mind today is i never want to repeat this again. it's a big life lesson and you have to be more responsible and lesson learned. dr. par parker's commitment is unwavering. >> every day i consider what i do. to me it's important to do this in a mindful way. i don't question whether or not it's right to help people. i hope i'm right. i believe i'm right. the difference between me and the people that are convinced that i'm absolutely wrong, is that i will acknowledge that as

a human being my abl ability to understand everything is limited. i have to acknowledge there is a little uncertainty in every decision i make. >> the women we met on this day say they were grateful to have a choice. but it's a choice they hope to never have to make it again. >> it was a mission take i made ani --mistake i made and i was o correct it. i don't want to go through this process again. >> for dr. parker the fact that they have a choice is doing something for the fight. >> i'm doing something that nobody else is willing to do. that is enough to keep me grounded and sustained. >> now going beyond mississippi. this year more than 40 laws restricting access to abortion have been passed through the nation. but in california they are expanding access. joining us tonight's is california assembly member tony

atkins and a bill that was signed by govenor brown assemb assemblywoman atkins can you explain what your bill does? >> he wh yes, i can. ab 154 is a bill that expands abortion that allowing nurse prak tispractitioners to do thet fridatrisemester abortion. >> there are people that are going to say, look is this not going to be safe if it's into the done by a physician. >> it is. we didn't enter into the decision lightly. over the last seven years we conducted a study at the san francisco hospital. it looked at a dozen prar prak k practitioners and we did a study and the complication rate was

less than 2% for the doctors and the practitioners. and so we toasted that. and it is as safe. >> is similar legislation in makes i iceplace in fou other s. there are four other states. montana, vermont, montana and oregon. we are the fifth. >> why did you feel this was an porn thing in your state. >> well in california we are the largest state. and more than half of those countyings women tonighcouncilcn abortion provider. people have to travel. california women have to travel long distances which means they take longer to get the procedure. this is really about expanding access for women in california. >> well talk about this a little bit. we have mentioned and in laurie

jane's report we have heard state wide efforts in other states. do you really see california moving in a different direction? are you putting a flag in the dpronltd if you arground. >> california has always led thn rights for women. last year we had registered nurses dispensing birth control pills. we feel proud for the woman with reprproductive rights and i zooo think that california will move in a different direction as some of the states going in the opp sit direction. >> we also talked about other states that have created more restriction and guidelines for clinics. and in your legislation you address that in your bill.

>> there was a different bill that sought to make sure that it was a level playing field for all primary care clinics. and many of those clinics perform aboorgs procedures so that bill was one to steal with the facilities issue and make sure that it was equitiable for all primary care clinics. it's not that you were talking about lowering the standards for clinics? >> no, no. california has a rigorous licencing for the state. it was to ensure they didn't have more rigorous standards. the first trisemester pro seat yours can be done in a primary clinic easily. it's medically safe. >> thank you for being with us. >> thank you so much. coming up here a fight for their own community. sometimes though against their own government.

why residents of one mexican state are taking up arms and leading their own fight against the drug loird. lord .

>> hundreds of miles south of our border is a poor rural mexican state. home to one. largest groups of hig migrants o the u.s. it's one. key supply points of methamphetamine. and as a result they have found themselves on the battle ground of vicious drug wars. many have taken up the fight themselves. >> it's an increasingly common sight in the western states. >> mexican soldiers disarming citizen vigilantes who have taken on policing the communities. but in some places it's the virginia lavigilantes that haver hand. they strip strip the police of r woaps anweapons and their dutyi. >> this is our glorious mexican army that sets free prisoners

and criminals. they have stained their uniform that used to command reexpect. reexpect -- respect. >> when the president took office last year he promised to bring order to this land. it's unclear who is in charge, the army or the police or the cartel. a major supplier of marijuana and meta methamphetamine to the. we traveled to the hot land to see what it looks like when people take the law into their own hand. check points are everywhere. >> some manned by the military and some by the vigilantes themselves. they asked us if we were members of the cartel. >> they checked us out and their leader said we can go. >> the doctor lead a band of virginia lan tease. tease -- vigilantes. he spends a lot of time trying

to take down the cartel. he got fed up with the extortion and rape and kidnapping in his town. >> the army knows it's a crime to carry arms. they also know that our movement is legal. it's legal because the federal government has not done it's dutiesduty to provide security r it's citizens. that is why we took up arms. >> on this day he skimmed his shif --skipped his shift at the hospital. when are we goe going to give ur arms? when the government or ourselves are finished with these criminals. that is when we will put down our guns. we are shop keepers, businessmen and ranchers. >> they won't allow the group to continue. we asked several soldiers if they will put down their guns.

>> no. because if we disarm they are going to come and kill us. it's better to be armed. >> vigilantes have sprung up in other parts of mexico. the leaders operate like war lords with their own private armies and they scoff at the idea that the state will be able to help or stop them. >> the state will never take creel. control. that is impossible. we the people could take control of thigh these things but the se coonlt do it. can't do it they don't have the capacity. >> the people stuck to the cartels when they were doing illegal drug dealing. but the cartels lost their base of popular support. cartel leaders and some government authorities say the vigilantes are a front for other criminal gangs looking to infill straight their rivals turf. the doctor says they're not in any cartel. back in the town people say it's

safer with the vigilantes. >> we have come to city hall to speak to someone in clark. charge. but what we have found is several signs and hanging above the door he was run out of town by townspeople and he hasn't been seen since. >> when you go into city hall what you see instead of a place humming are with activity as it would be any other time of the year, what you see is inan empty city hall where no one is in charge. >> outside of city hall the police are on duty they don't patrol economy longer. the police in other parts want the vigilantes gone but here they see them as savors. >> we feel safe. safesafer now with the community police especially when the bad

guys are here. >> the town sits in the hot land. a name rooted in the blazing hot weather of the rug i had hills. now the name invokes fear. a reminder of how have dangerous it is here. after years ever blood shed the people are calling for peace and it's up to them to achieve it. >> adam some people in the united states may be familiar with the area and it's people. >> exactly many of the m migrans who are undocdocumented immigras come from the area. it's one of the mainstays that have sent people here. mainly from california. >> because they have airing agre experience. >> you have seen it be tougher for small fayers in mexico and many of those farmers looking for a better life came to the

united states and now many to mitchell county. >> many have had to go back at the most violent time. we have seen a highest level of depouringtion that we have seen for years. i have moment several people that have accident spent a dozs who have uts citizen and children. they begged me for information on how they can get a grant or scholarship for their u.s. citizen child. you can see they were caught up in a war that they don't know what to do. >> they do seem very, very desperate. the point you take up averages to protect your own community. >> they are very desperate. this date up like border state was a vibrant state we have seep drug gangs from peddling drugs to the u.s. apartment ex-torlting people there and

asking people for protection money and if they don't pay up. they kidnap a family member or they raid a female member of the family. you have seen dock torgs or businessmen rise up with weapons. zoom people say are front for other gangs. it's hard to know what is going on in the ground. it's a tricky place to truly understand. what we do know is people are suffering and they are in a lot of pain and it's an extremely dangerous place right now. >> adam, thank you for coming in and reporting on this for us. coming up next, empty classrooms and adge anxious par. ho

a judge has sentenced kwame kilpatrick to 26 years on

corruption charges. they argued that he contributed to the economic claimings. collapse. freedom is short lived for ex-president of pakistan mummar. he had ordered a thousand peope killed in 1997. the eu la has honored pakisi teen for the top award. the taliban shot her for advocating for women's education. the heightened focus on the federal budget we have had in resent days lead us to consider a major government program that was in disstress before the shutdown, head start. which brings child care and meals and early education to a

million kids across the nation. it saw the budget drastically reduced by the sequester. michael traveled to texas to a vibrant community that depends on head start. >> we started our journey miles from the mexican border. a sleepy farming town the locals call a city with a heart. by daybreak a 2 24-year-old nate of guatemala is getting her kids ready and like most mornings is waiting to are a phone call. it's 20 past 7:00 do you know you are going to work today. >> no yesterday they said they were going to call me today if there was more work to do. and they were going to see if they had another piece of land

to work in. she is a migrant farmer. and to lady a ringing telephone could be a got god send. a chance to go out and work the fields for $ $7 an hour. before she can even consider taking that call. there is a send off for her two-year-old daughter britney who is about to embark on a journey of her own. britney is getting through her first week of pre-school and she is not accustomed to being away from mom. the bus lurches along the dusty road and neighbourhoods just like her own. the town's poverty rate is 40%. for britney and other children of struggling families the pre-school is here. the head start program for migg migrant workers. >> it was a little tough and a little emotional but it was

worth it. >> yes it was really worth it. every bit of it. when she gets home with her small book she says well, this is a school, the chirc childrene there. she enjoys it. she loves it. >> lady, what would you say to people that say this is money badly spent on the part of the government? they are essentially helping people that have broken the law? >> well what i think is that the children do need this. and of course we are the ones that crossed here illegally, yes. we violated the law. but nevertheless we knead the help. it's very important because the children do need this. >> migrant head start officals are not required to ask for citizenship. the vast majority of the children in the pro dpramtion pe documented citizens. today lady's phone never rings it's the life of a mig migrant

worker with days unfilled with pay seem to last forever. that is increased by the see quessequester.it has forced heat programs to shutdown or close. if the government shutdown continues there will be more. >> what are your options if you don't have head start. >> to figure out who can take care of the girl. i may have to stay home because i have no the one to take care of her. >> six months ago the father of her child was deported back to guatemala. >> what did he say to you and the kids? >> he was very sad. and the kids were very sad. me too. i would rather not remember that. an estimate the 3 million workers like lady travel across

the country in what are known as migrant streams. they work seasonally based on what crops are ready to plant or harr vest. figures isupporting an almost $n fruit and vegetable industry. we travel 350 miles northwest to del rio. i have picked the cromtio crombh them and i am out of there in ten minutes and my back is killing me. she oversees migrant head start centres. they provided nutrition and medical care and counselling for chair families. today it's a cashin casualty ofe

sequester. >> take a look around. this place has been sthu shutdor six months now. it can't be easy for you to stand here. >> my heerlt is breaking. -- mys breaking. it's heart breaking. >> i feel for the familys over here. this was an opportunity for their children to become somebody. to have another way of life. to dream the m american dream ad be apart of it. >> moments late he were a migrant worker has knocked on the door. >> i came here to apply for services. >> and what happened? >> i and they told me the sens r was cleeseed. cleeseed -- closed. >> i assume that you came here because you need the services so you can work. >> yes. >> now what will happen? >> i will have to stay home. >> i don't have family here,

they are either up north or out of town living. >> you are very ambitious you know that. >> that works. >> nationally 57,000 slots for head start children were eliminated after the mandatory cuts. they cut hundreds and the vast majority in texas. after their head start funding was slashed by $3.3 million. >> good morning. >> michael this is our infant class. >> our trip takes us to san juan, another border town. susan is the director of the tmc center which serves 6 children. why is it so important that they start the day with breakfast here? >> by visiting the family's environment clearly you will see that they don't have that family, they don't have the needs or the mean to have a

nutritious meal that they get here. they are even out liesing -- ug utensils. >> you can't learn if you are hungry rchlt. >> yohungry. >> you are right. the benefits of head start fade by the end of third grade. but the pr pro bone proponents e impact goes well beyond the numbers and the alternative is much worse. the family is able to take their children owpt. >> i have a picture i look at every single day that reminds me why i am here. >> they take their children into the fields. >> kayla was a month when we spotted her in her little car seat in the vehicle waiting for mom because she was done with her task. >> the baby crisis an cries ands

she do. the mom stops what she is doing and she feeds the child. and now we have the crew boss upset. >> we drive to meet kayla and her parent. >> this family lives in a community where individuals can spend 100 bucks for a right to build a home on a patch of land. and they literally build those homes out of anything they can find. or they can pull a trailer in this. >> they have four children and mbeatrice is expecting a fiflt. fifth. they wanted to find child care for the youngest. >> the very same kayla that was spotted in the car in the fields. >> we understand that sometimes when we are working they are

fumigating on a different field and the wind starts blowing toward our plate place of work. >> this is our future. so what are we specced to do? just lay back and not do anything. it's our obligation. we are the advocates for the children. they are our fruit ear. future. if we don't step up who will. >> the families we meet have little time for advocacy. if they are lucky enough to find work they keep moving in a daily struggle to survive. >> do you have a bank account? >> no. >> how much money do you have right now? >> >> right now i have like 30. >> thirty dollars having a safe place to leave their children is a life line. what makes migrant head start so

unique. some of the staffers travel from state to state following the workers who are moving from field to field across the cannel country to provide some sense of conty new tea. an-- continuity. and provide service that's they are accustomed to. if the predpram programs arear t back or closed altogether that would create a do a domino efer. eferkt -- eferkt. effect. you would cause higher prices in the grocery store and that reason alone is why the public should be concerned about this. >> if the shutdown continues and we have indication that it may be coming to an end here in washington. if the shutdown continues is

there immediate concern for the head start for the mig for migr. >> the migrant workers across the field work in 40 states across the country. the most popular are california, textexas and florida. right now all eyes are on florida. in florida there are a dozen programs and counties that service about 1 1800 children. now the programs in those counties don't start their fist fiscal year until about november isth. bu11st. because of the shutdown they are not able to get their funding there are a thousand families in florida that won't be able to send their kids on november it of 2nd. more families and staying at home and not in the fields and that many families battle being

for what is all right severe poverty. >> and whatever you are thinking about if they are not able to contribute or work, it's really not helping at all for them to be here? >> it's not helping the family aiesand what the officals went people to understand is it is not helping society. if those people can't find work they may do other things. >> they may become a apartment of the crime element in the country and they may have to use the social safety net and they become a greater burden on society. coming up here, an uncertain future as the u.s. plans to cut aid to the egyptian military. how will congress react? we'll preview that after this.

on wednesday the became obad administration announced a delay of military aid to ey egypt. the supporters of ousted president morsi. egypt has been one of the washington's closest allies since they signed the peace accord in i 1979. knew thnew now the relationships under stles. stress. we investigate on what the alliance can endure. >> in washington the relationship between the u.s. government and those responsible for the post coup killings in egypt. appears on the surface to be strained. >> hi , how ar we couldn't speao

anyone in the egyptian government. but they are out in force here. the military believe they are representatives of the egyptian people. >> it's conversations with how the u.s. can work with the military backed government. egypt's representatives in the u.s. don't seem to be overly worried. ddo you think military assistane to eequipmen egypt is going to ? >> well, currently the whole assistance is being reviewed by

both side. sides. by the u.s. and by egypt. the objective is to revisit how much each side gains from this. and i'm confident that this will renew the commitment of both sides and will lay the foundation for even stronger cooperation in the future. >> if the aid is suspended or cancelled will egypt reconsider the privileges that americans get in egypt. the privileged routes through the suee suez canal. we are not discussing this at the moment because we are confident that in the end we'll all move forwarding to. >> egypt gets more foreign aid than any other current beside israel. what makes egypt so confident that the status quo is not going

to change. perhaps the answer is found with the lobbyist that eye gip guesstimategypt pays tolobby in. >> i saw top u.s. generals put their finger up to united states senators and they say we do a hundred things for you every day that you don't know about. they didn't do it in a nasty way. >> for five years toby moffitt's pm group had a $1.1 million contract to represent the egyptian government and to keep the aid flowing. >> did the egyptians think the aid would actually be cut? never. i mean military aid, never. >> toby said the core of the relationship was a military one.

i asked him if there was an insider that had the confidence of both militaries? [phone ringing] >> yhi skip? yes. williams skip miner is is the favorite lobbyist. >> i think between the two militaries there is a relationship and a voice that is based on our mutual interest. that hasn't changed they are very close. do you think that military aid might be suspended? >> it's, i always cringe when people say that we give them this money. i never looked at it that way. i look at what we benefitted as a american military we have money to contribute. >> they give is access we still

have access. they have not changed the nature of what they provide us why would we want to change what we provide them? >> i know that must really rub the u.s. taxpayers the wrong way. you picture a brinks truck with $1.3 billion driving up to the defense minute pins ministry wiy and they think we are doing them a favor. they think it's a u.s. investment and a partnership. >> a partnership that is primarily between two defense establish gits. establishments. >> the money, also goes to pay for training. and that to me is the biggest single benefit is that all of these egyptian military guys you have coming over here going to

school in american military schools. >> they are in our system learning. feel free to give them advice. he has been to school here too. i imagine he has done the same thing kept contact with the friends. >> today egypt eas's strong man. his advisor was retired colonel steven garrett. >> i would assert that if a general has been through a senior service college you can cut down a lot of barriers. if you are talking to a general you know he has been to the her

hershey park amusement park and taken his kids on a roller coaster and knows what a chili dog is. >> that can build up a relationship that can intereste. >> there is a real belief in the military that personal friendships can handle any bumps in the road. >> i can say there is a cautious optimism that it will work itself out. >> what is that based on? >> i think that is based on our -- now this is a military view, based on our knowledge of the egyptian military. >> an in-depth knowledge that has been fine tuned for over 35 years. it seems to keep the egyptian generals assured this will be little consequence for their domestic ow oppression. it's backed up by commitments

from the pena pentagon to keep e military aid flowing. i'm on the department of defence website doing a search for contracts meant for egypt. there were three large contracts that were awarded. in july and august. that is after the coup. >> note here while the obama administration has a laid aid, the freeze is both modest and temporary. the full story on egypt and the u.s. airs friday at 9:30 on "fault line." coming up here on "america tonight" a jelly fish boom. how this mysteriously large

population is disrupting the food chain down under and abroad.

food chain. big fish not eating little fish may mean more food available for jelly fish. >> they will meet to determine a new quota safe for the sustainability of that fish. >> policing tun tuna is one. top predators in our ois orb oc. it's down 5% of what it's size was so it's had b an impact. we have to consider human use. >> marine scientists have come up with away to fight the jelly fish. a submarine la and it spits take jelly fish in and spits them out. >> it's like putting a band aitd oband-aidon a problem and try to establish what causes the bloom

in the first place. >> tackling the underlying causes will attack the problem. >> here at the asquar aquarium e are jelly fish but in the seas there are more and more jelly fish that femal people will come across. and that is it for us here on "america tonight" please remember if you would like to comment on any stories you have heard here tonight. log on to our website aljazeera.com. you can meet our team and get previews of stories you like and what you would like to see on our program. you can check with us on dwitter eltwiptertwittwisteror facebook.
