republican leader eric can tar was upbeat. >> it was a very useful meeting. it was clarifying as to where we are, we will have more discussion, the president said that he will go and consult with the administration voaks and hopefully we can see a way forward after that. >> no deal yet, but in a statement the white house sited continued progress in the talks. it all marks a big change in tone, with one week left to the deadline. it began thursday morning with a sudden move from gop leaders. >> we want to offer the president the ability to move a temporary increase in the debt ceiling. >> a six week increase in exchange for a budget. a temporary solution but one the white house lucked. >> if they sent them a clean debt ceiling, no

partisan strings attached he would sign it. we have to see the home package, but it certainly isn't very smart. house republicans are lukewarm, but as the crisis drags on the approval rating is sinking now with just 24% according toen a nbc wall street your honor nah poll an all time low, and 52% of voters now blame them for the impasse. while 31% blame democrats. >> missing from the g.o.p. plan an offer to end the government shut down. >> this is a situation where they don't know what they want. >> after meeting with the president, democrats insisted that before any start talks. >> they want to negotiate before -- >> not going to happen. >> and randall is live in washington, republicans came out of thursday's meeting hopeful that a deal can be reached possibly by today, is there any chance now of

that happening? >> well, we know that the steps were late into the night by the language. raise it is dell ceiling with reopening the government. if they are now combined possibly we would be talking about the weekend before all of the language can be completed. >> it is a good sign, compared to where we were. >> and the republicans seem to be changing their tune in the latest talks vowing to negotiate without that healthcare law on the table, the public arrival rating just 24 since the shut down, those are the lowest numbers ever, are those a factor in what we are seeing take place. >> i don't think you will see republicans admit that those numbers are a factor, but certainly they can't be pleased with their dropping approval rating and the fact that many members of the public are signing up for the affordable care act, and they will have another p opportunity

going forward to do whatever they want to do with that. even some democrats say there are some things in that law that should be changed. so republicans have layed that aside for the long term interest, which is deficit reduction, and of course the white house is saying they want that too. >> and the federal government will once again be sending finance usual help to the military charity fisher house foundation had agrees to pay the benefits during the shut down. the bill reinstates the payments made to military families who have lost loved ones in the line of duty. it also covers the cost of funerals. the obama administration says it will allow parks to we open, as long as states use their own money. governors in four states have asked to open the parks.

>> not the size of a huge storm we have seen like a katrina, but the intensity is what we are going to have to watch, so right now 155 miles per hour sustained winds that is just under a category 5, so kind of the top edge of a category 4, and you can pick out that eye in some of the earl err frames on this, but this is going to impact a large area. the winds are extending out in some cases 100 miles for that. is that gives you an idea of the impact area, here is another look from earlier this morning. so this is going to continue to head towards the coastline, looking for that land fall as we get into the day tomorrow. and once again to put this in perspective, even though in this sort of part of the world it is call add tropical cyclone, our equivalent of a hurricane, a

hurricane that made a category five land fall to give a comparison on that, hurricane andrew, if you remember that in the miami area in 1992. those storms are very strong and devastating. and we are talking dense population as we head into india. sometimes not great structures which means very easy to wipe things out. so it is going to be an enormous problem for us. that's a look at one of the previous storms that hit in the yea and did all that damage. so hopefully not the loss of life, but that can be a big problem with this storm. we also have a tie phone that is 115 miles per hour winds that is our equivalent of a category 3, that is making an impact in the philippines right now, so a couple of systems that we have to monitor in the days ahead, i will have that national forecast coming up? the next half hour. >> thank you very much. there is breaking news this morning coming out of benghazi libya. a car bomb has exploded there. a libyan official saying the building was seriously damaged but no

deaths have been reported. al jazeera is also learned that at least one libyan and one foreign national may have been injured in the attack. last year an attack on the u. diplomatic facility killed ambassador chris stephens and three other americans. calling the actions of rebel forces there "crimes against humanity." the report focuses on an attack in the village of latakay. joining us live now from beirut, the capitol of lebanon. it lays out the case for war crimes what does it say exactly that they did? >> . >> well, accord dig the human rights watch, this was a deliberate and coordinated attack carried out by rebel forces on the ground. they even indicated which

rebel forces were involved, and those forces were mainly al quaida linked groups, foreign fighters, a long with a syrian rebel force. human rights watch saying that the civilians killed they were alawites so this attack was sectarian in nature. we know that the opposition is made up mainly of sunni rebels. calling on the international community to impose an armed empargo, but so far as we know, no group on the ground really has been held accountable for war crimes. there have been many incidents of human rights abuses in syria over the past months and years the government has been blamed for sectarian massacres rebels have been blamed as welt. so they are acting almost with impunity, since my because syria is not a signatority the international criminal course. and if it is to investigate that would need the approval of the u.n. council which has

been deadlocked on the syrian crisis apart from the deal on the chemical weapons inspections. >> and the opposition forces feel they have been slighted already, because of so much attention being placed oen the chemical weapon pros recess and not the civil war itself. this is not going to sit well. >> well, the real problem on the ground it is a very complicated situation. the government is relying on the military, it is also relying on par military forces. militias fighting on behalf of the regime. the rebels there's no unified structure. they are not unified. they have ideological differences a lot of those forces on the ground do not recognize the authority of the main political opposition, the syrian national coalition in exile, and they don't fall under the umbrella of the free syrian army, so who is to control them. the problem is that the

war now has taken on sectarian overtones, alawites are being killed simply because the president and his regime really hailing from that commute, and vice versa, we have seen the pro government militias kill sunnies in villages in alawite dominated areas as well. so this goes on with impunity. no one is being held to account. and this is what human rights is warning that these killings sectarian killings they will only continue, and nothing is being done to stop the war ray part from efforts to hold a peace conference. and that's if and when it will actually happen. >> xenia joining us live, thank you. a surprise winner for this year's nobel peace prize. it was given to the global watchdog group. the nobel was announced this morning in norway,

site for shale gas extraction. otherwise known as fracking. it is totally compliant with france's ban on fracking. >> fracing is only for five years ten years it is a no hope idea. there isn't -- because as long as you wish to get fossil energy, that fossil energy will be finished one day. >> fossil is a technique used to extract gas. a drill digs deep, and horizontallyrse tally where it is between rock. and releasing the gas. but the method has been criticized for creating small earth tremors and polluting the water table. france became the first country in the world to

ban fracking. >> the constitutional council has decided to uphold the law, the french public and the authorities still need tock convinced by the oil and gas industries that the benefits of fracking outweigh any environmental risks. >> and that can take some doing. shale gas exploration has been embraced by governments such as the u.s., but also with some communities. >> supporters believe it is unfairly judged. >> the benefit of fracking is clear. is to produce france's own resources. gas and possibly oil, and therefore replacing imports. >> the industry is unlikely to give up its fight to frac in france. isabel as determined to keep this land clear for

future generations. >> supporters say the practice has cut prices to a third of what customers pay in france. investors are hoping that -- >> huge money, everyone is have optimistic this morning. investors are in a buying moot, because it looks like a deal in washington is within reach. futures are up pointing to a positive start. the dow coming off its biggest one point gain all year, with all stocks in the green, the three major industries each rocking more than 2%. the last time stocked performs like was back on january 2nd. overseas european stocks also rising in hopes of a government fix here in the u.s., and the buying is spreading to asia in tokyo, the winning streak continues up nearly 1.5%. hong kong's shanghai both

mean that banks had to keep more money on hand to increase their reserves, well, now if the lones were a higher quality they may not need to keep as much in reserves and that can help their bottom line. >> thank you very much. >> a female los angeles police officer has been charged with assaulting a woman who died shortly after being arrested. the l.a. district attorney's office says that officer mary ocolt happen has within charged in connection. >> the death. she punched and kicked her back in july of 2012 while the suspect was handcuffed. she is said to have blacked out inside the patrol car and was pronounced dead a short time later, she was expected of abandoning her children. in illinois the woman on the receiving end of this is suing. these images were captures on the jail surveillance camera, they show casandra being pushed into a cell, and hitting her face on a bench. she filed suit against

activity. >> the u.s. justice departments has end skated it went sue states but that is internal policy for now. now the law of the land. how sensitive is this issue? this state's largest banking umbrella group the washington bankers association, refused to discuss it. even over the phone. the credit union announced they were holding medical marijuana accounts but after getting publicity and consulting with tones they stopped taking new pot customers. john davis has his own a.t.m. in the lobby, but he has to stock it with money. because no financial entity will touch it. >> and is it easy, no. am i going to stick it out, absolutely. >> as for the state of washington, which will be handling hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes, aid every year by the new marijuana industry, the treasures office say it doesn't expect to have any problems at all with its current banker. the bank of america, or with any future banking

movement in that government stand off. the white house meeting with president obama republican house leaders floating the idea of temporarily raising the nation's debt ceiling, there is also word the g.o.p. leaders are working on a plan to end the government shut down. well, call them teflon republicans that. of two dozen or so tea party lawmaker whose have refused to pass a budget funding the government. they want obama care, as they call it, delayed for a year. despite polls showing that 70% of americans oppose what they are doing, but their constituents love their stand. al jazeera went to north carolina to look at one republican at how redistricting help bring him to power. >> in western north carolina's blue ridge mountains, object leaf season means stunning views. >> what would the resort look like right now if the government were open. >> well, we would be full, and there would be a line out the door. the hotel would be full. the gift shop would be full, and you wouldn't be

able to find a parking space in the parking lot. >> last week in washington congressman mark meadow whose represents north carolina's 11th district, where the inis located took to the house floor. >> this government shut down shouldn't have anything to do. >> but meadow as republican who came to washington with tea party backing in january, is actually a key designer of the shut down. last august he wrote a letter to house speaker john boehner it states "we urge you to defund the implementation and enforcement of obama-care and any relevant bill brought to the house floor." the letter which 80 signed provided the blueprint for the shut down. >> these guys from my observation have no interest in governing, have no interest in being legislatures they just want to blow the place up. >> steve is a former republican congressman from ohio, he serves 18 years in office.

>> he blames the growing internal g.o.p. division on redistricting. it's the process of drying up congressional districts every ten years after the census. a political tool used by which ever party is in power to gain congressional seats. >> well, yeah. i was there for two redistricting 2000, and 2002, and in all cases the red districts got redder and the blue districts got bluer. >> back in north carolina, before redistricting, mark meadows 11th district was considered one of the most competitive congressional districts in the state. >> when republicans took control of the general assembly, for the first time since reconstruction, the g.o.p. seized the opportunity to split asheville between two congressional districts. charles carter is a democrat and is a north carolina state senator from 1998 to 2002. he says the new congressional lines have

one purpose. dilute the democratic vote. >> so on this street, you have these people represented by one person in congress. >> correct. >> who is that? >> that's representative mark meadows. >> and you have a different congressman here. >> this is patrick mchenry. >> and who represents that person. >> that's mark meadows again. >> yeah. >> would you call this gerrymanders. >> this is gerrymandering on steroids, yes. >> now despite that a three judge panel in north carolina has upheld the redistricting now it is headed to the state supreme court. for millions of families fighting to put food on the table, their food stamp benefits could soon be cut back, more than 47 million americans rely on government food programs each and every month. nearly half of them, children and teenagers. but as of october 31st, a temporary increase in the benefits will expire. and with congress preoccupied with the shot dun and debt ceiling that is not likely to change.

what the economy has been worried about is we didn't know whether they would be willing to take that radical step. keep in mind, that the political dynamic now is a lot more difficult than it was even two years ago when something similar played out along the same lines but in terms of the specific impass we are seeing now, we are also seeing that the public is starting to blame republicans more and more, it is showing up in the polls and that will be an impetus for action. we are also seeing that this deal is at least a sign that some progress will be made pretty soon. in term oz if deal itself, yeah, it is kicking it down the road. i hope it is more an opening toward as serious resolution, rather than something actually going to get implements because if we have to go through this again, this doesn't solve anything. >> six weeks just in case you are checking your calendar, means right smack dab in the middle of the holiday shopping season. does this mean that congress can be the grinch that stole thanksgiving, christmas and beyond. >> it is not just the direct impact, there are

indirect impacts as well. people see what is happening and they get worried and they stop shopping, businesses get worried about investing, banks get nervous about making loans so this is something that the long et goes on the more damage it will cause. so to the extent that protracted negotiations has been as intense as it has been, i think we want something to be resolved sooner than later. >> the dow surged 300-points yesterday, is the dow getting used to the give and take, and that nothing is getting done? >> i don't know that it is getting used to it so much as it is going to swing wildly no matter what. it is going to see something that is happening and going to anticipate that, and when it sees there may be a resolution it will fry to anticipate that as well. i think the market has come to the same conclusion that a lot of us have, the very least there are signs of progress, so i think it

is something to watch carefully to head the fed after person retires this is a good move or bad move. >> she has a ton of monetary policy making experience the problem is that the fed isn't a dictatorship. she does have to bring along the rest of the committee that sets monetary policy, and that committee too has become more divided over the last few months. so she is wonderfully qualified but a very challenging task ahead. >> thank you for being with us, he is the financial times reporter for the alpha blog. >> alphaville blog. >> thank you very much. >> 40ing events at military academies won't be effected by the shut down, at least until the end of the month. allowing them to play their weekend games but still unclear if future games will be played. defense secretary making the call to keep the games going, he says he will reassess the issue late they are month, if

>> wind and snow in the northern plains and stormy weather in the east for more on our national forecast, we return to nicole mitchell. >> a lot going on, and of course we will get to that tropical system. let's get back to the united states where we have two systems causing us some problems. very easy to pick this out. along a low pressure circulation, counter clockwise wind flow, you can see the bands of rain in that counter clockwise spiral into where the low pressure is sitting. ahead of all that, we have the rain, tight pressure differential so that's kicking up the winds. but then we have also been dealing with this system off the mid atlantic, and you can see persistence rain bands. we are going to slowly see the wind and rain diminish, but that will be as we get towards the course of the weekend. so this will stay -- here is where all of this is right now. it causes all a lot of delays. we have delays on that,

because of the rain, airports have suffered so philadelphia has seen light rain and low ceilings. he guarla guardia, and twos delays we could see more of that on the east coast, over the next couple of days expect a couple more inches if you are under the rain bans that add up, not really a dellion but persistence. with that we have kept the temperatures low, some of that same pattern brought in the cooler air from canada. slowly recover over the next couple of days. part of that flow is really cranking up the winds with that pressure change i was talking about. so watch for the northern plains. some of these winds easily in the 3rd-40-mile

range. that means -- if you have ever been to parts of the dakotas not a lot of tree covers the winds can just rip across if you are in a high profile vehicle that can be a problem. a lot of problem mentioning back to colorado. does some of that snow and higher elevations can be a half inch, and blowing so those mountains passes will become treacherous. >> thank you very much. there are new details in the case of baby hope, toddlers body was found inside a picnic cooler along the new york city highway back in 1991, this week the nypd identified the child and her mother for the first time, and now they say they want to talk to the little girl's father, but they stopped short of

a deal could be reached as soon as today, is that going to happen? >> doubtful. they did work overnight, but now what we are hearing is that they are not only talking about raising the authority of the government to borrow, raising that debt ceiling but possibly combining a plan to end the government shut down. if they do both of those things that will probably stretch it into probably the weekend at a minimum. >> the one word we are not hearing is what was once the favorite word obam 45 care, does that have anything do do with the fact that the approval rating for republicans is now just 20/20/04%? >> and of course, the entire congress is taking a hit for that from the public. so the people want something done, and hopefully our elected leaders will get it done.

>> but we are no strangers to washington. poll numbers do weigh heavy on those wishing to be re-elected. >> absolutely they do. and wraps this crisis will make them not so lightly to enter another crisis in the off year election, next november. >> joining us live from washington, d.c., randall, thank you very much. >> the families of fallen soldiers will once again be receiving military death benefits. president obama signed a bill last night to restore funding suggestion spended during the shut down, on wednesday the charity fisher house agreed to pay them during the shut down, that bill reinstates the $100,000 payments as well as their funeral expenses. and the obama administration says it will now allow the nation's parks to reopen as long as states continue to use their own money to do so. governors in at least four states asked to reopen the parks because of the economic impact, caused by the closures.

go of the sticking points are the ability of u.s. fourses to carry out unilateral raids to carry out what it called offenses against terrorism here, president karzai says they shouldn't be allowed to kill afghans on afghan soil. goes to big points certainly points of contention as the treaty agreements that the united states has said should be signed before october 31st. the award was given to the global watchdog organization. the nobel was announced this morning in norway. the award committee praised the o.p.c.w. for

its efforts to rid the word of deadly weapons. the recent work in syria was among the reasons sited. as a taboo under international law. the recent events in syria, the chemical weapons have again been put to use, have underlined the need to enhance the efforts to do away with such weapons. >> experts from the group that is based in the hague arrived in syria this week, they are currently working with the u.n. to destroy that country's massive stock pile. the o.p.c.w. will receive a $1.25 million reward. the group human rights watch has release add report on fighting in syria. calling the actions of rebel forces there crimes against humanity. that report focusing mainly on attack in the al wyatt village where

civilians were targeted. more from beirut. human rights groups say this was a deliberate attack, an attack sectarian in nature, alawites, civilians executed and up to 200 taken hostage. human rights watch also pointing the finger at specific rebel forces who were responsible. those rebel forces are mainly foreign fighters, groups linked to al quaida, apart from one syrian rebel group. human rights watch saying that the,n should impose an arms empargo. the opposition is not the only side really which has been accused of human rights violations. the government has been accused of such abuses in the past. but no site really being held accountable. for that to happen, you

are going to need the u.n. security council. to approve to actually start investigating so the war goes on. more killings on the ground, sectarian killings sometimes revenge killings, reprisals civilians really caught in a conflict which really there's no end in site. libyan officials saying the building was seriously damages but no debts have been reported. at least one libyan and one foreign national have been injured in that attack. is three other americans were killed last year in an attack. end yeah is bracing for the arrival of tropical storm philene.

that means that it will be packing wins in excess of 157 miles an hour. meteorologist say the storm is now half the size of india, fay lynn is expected to hit the costal areas. and for more on that massive storm, we turn to nicole mitchell. in this part of the world it is call add tropical cyclone. right now it is at the upper levels of a category iv, so really we are almost to that intensity anyway. here is the broad picture. so this is the bay of bengal, and you can see how the storm covers the entire area. typically bays are smaller than gulfs so if you think of the gulf of mexico, the bay of bengal is one of the largest bays around the world, so similar in size to the gulf of mexico. and this is taking up a lot of real estate as you can see this storm. here is all of that into motion, and as it continues to head towards

the coastline, it has been intense fying very well defined eye. you can pick out on a couple of these, why we are so concerned about this, just besides the fact that it is going to be a category v storm, or what we would consider a category v, you know how much damage those can do. if you have seen those hurricane areas which i have. andrew, katrina, where they can just raze buildings. this is heading into india, that is the second largest population in the world. the people per square mile we are talking almost 1,000 people per square mile, where in the united states it is under 100. so ten times the population density. the last storm in the similar area causes about 15,000 loss of life. we also have another system impacts the 15s.

the lives of minorities that reforms that turkey is now looking to put into place that are being criticized. and call it a major legal victory for toyota, and wrongful death lawsuit countrying the company's vehicles. >> jpmorgan chase says it lost money last quarter. it's blaming its lawyers not the economy.

>> police say eight others were injured in the blaze that started while patients were sleeping no word on what caused it. the turkish government has unveil add set of reforms are aimed at improving democracy. those are designed to address their grievances after years of political urge rest, not all sides are happy with the changes. >> the monostarry is hundreds of years old, a revered symbol and a place of worship for

many. it is the only christian religious school featured. a syrian property was seized by the state in 20008 over an ownership dispute. >> we are the sons of this land. we did not come from another country. we have our own language, religion, culture, basic rights we want to be equal in everything. >> prime minister had poised a set of reforms to improve the lives of minorities like the curds and some christians. and returning christian property. nothing everything is happy. the governments move if implemented it would be a step in the right direction. but for other minority religious groups it clowning the christian

armenians, the grievances are deeply rooted and the government has to do more. >> the curds in order to end the 30 year conflict have rejected it saying it's not enough. estimated to be around 15 million of demanding more rights and official recognition of their sect. >> woe are not recognized in the constitution, nor are our places of worship. we want official status, government funds and an end to the victimization of al lowes. the government denied wide spread discrimination, but says some of the problems began during the founding of the turkish republic. but until that happens, the mistrust religious minorities feel towards the state, will not go

away. al jazeera southeast turkey. >> they say little has been done to improve rights. returning to our top story, president obama and house reps now appear to be making some ground in the battle over the government shut down and looming debt crieses. joining us now is congresswoman jan. you along with seven other house democrats were arrested earlier this week rat a rally for immigration reyou remember to, before we go to the shut down, had anything happened since your arrest on the issue of immakes. >> . >> well, what we know is happening is that people are organizing all around the country. there were hundreds of demonstrations in 41 states and then we lad over 20,000 people here in washington, and the day that i was arrested, we know that there are some 28 republicans who

say that they are for comprehensive immigration reform, so we are poised and ready to move a bill that deals with a real crisis, not a manufactured crisis like the shut down. and to pass the legislation. the demand on the day i was arrested was give us a vote. give us a vote. we know if it is called on the floor of the house that it will pass, and that then we can go to conference with the senate, and we can get comprehensive immigration reform. take 11 million people out of the shadows. >> exactly, 11 million people who seem to be ignored while we fight other this budget, but a lot of people want to know exactly what did happen last night when the president met with lawmakers, were you able to finalize a deal and i guess what will you be hoping will happen today? >> well, a deal wasn't finalized but there is clearly a hole in the dike. because the republicans speaker has said that he

would accept an extense of six weeks of the debt ceiling, which would be -- if we defaulted it would be an international financial crisis. and so now i think that we are on our way towards a larger bargain, and i'm hopeful that we will see something happen today or over the weekend. >> let me play the devil's advocate here. the tea party maintains that 70% of americans don't want what they call obama-care. they say that this is a fight that they are willing and have been willing to take all the way to the bring, do they not have a point? >> here is the irony, over this period of the shut down, and the demand to repeal or delay obama-care, it's actually become more popular. i think in part it is because -- >> are there numbers to bear that out? we hear there are problems with the website, but no solid numbers on whether or not it is popular or unpopular, is it to soon to make that judgement. >> well, i think that's exactly right.

although the website i understand is operating now, without delays people should goo to healthcare.gov, they are going to be able to sign on, i snow that in my state, thousands tens of thousands of people have signed up for the medicaid expansion. and in my state, the website is working just fine. i think it's more and more people understand what it really means for their families, i think that we will see that the numbers are going to begin to rise. so i just don't buy that most people think that the -- actually the majority, the vast majority of people think that repealing obama-care is a bad idea. even if they -- at this point don't like it so much. >> and the reason i ask the question that way, and so forcefully, there's a tendency in washington to demagogue issues and i can only imagine what the democratic side would say, is it time i guess for the rhetoric to change in washington as

well as the tactics in your opinion? >> the toxic atmosphere, and the willingness at least on the republican side to use what you might call the nuclear option, someone holding a gun to his head is how the president described it, is no way to do business. i have been here for this is my 15th year, i have never seen anything like it. the longest serving member, who has been here for over 50 years, said he has never seen anything like this. we just don't operate this way. we need to go back to regular order. >> i'm a guy from west virginia, kind of simple when it comes to some things i want to ask you a question from a different way. there's so much said about the other side of the aisle, what are you seeing that president obama and harry reid are doing wrong there your eyes that may change things? what should they do differently? >> look, the president has said and has shown that he has been willing to negotiate.

he has put things on the table that i specially don't like. dealing with medicare, or social security. but he has made it clear, that without a gun to his head, saying that we'll shut down the government, which they did. or not pay the debts of the united states. that he and the democrats nancy pelosi has said the same thing, our leadership is willing to sit down, and discuss all of these issues -- >> that's a talking point, that is something we have all heard before, what have they done wrong that they should do differently moving forward? >> i think -- honestly, i think this is a situation where we see that the republicans are the ones -- i understand you say well it takes two to tang go, and both sides, but honestly, in this one, it has been a small minority, of the republican party who has been absolutely intransigent. it's been my way of the highway. they have held their republican conference hostage, and they have

held the entire country hostage. it's time to get over there. there are increasing number of republicans who will saying the same thing. inside and outside of the government. when you see karl rove saying drop it, we aren't going to repeal obama-care. get to the table. negotiate on these legitimate budget issues. then i think we are seeing that it is not a two sided battle here. >> based on the poll numbers coming out about congress and the approval rate willing you concerned that come the midterm that voters may see a pop on both houses. >> well i certainly see a lack of confidence in the government that we can get things done. i am sure this is true around the world. people are saying what the heck is going on in the united states of america. but i really think that we are going to see a outpouring of immigrants, of poor people who are really upset with this

income disparity that we have seen in our country. people who want to fix government, make it really work. i think we will see them turn out. next november, federal workers certainly are going to be turning out. >> but then you will be able to tell your constituents that you get busted, thank you for being with us. >> thank you so much. >> that is congresswoman, she is joining us from washington, d.c. this morning p democrat from illinois. three poultry plants in california are going to stay hope at least for now. the usd action says that foster farmed has made the needing changes. brought chicken processed by foster farms has been linked to a salmonella outbreak. government inspectors will closely watch those plants over the next three months. and a court has now cleared toyota in a fatal accident of a 68-year-old woman there california. the auto maker was not liable for her death when the car suddenly sped up

and crash blood a tree. toy that had recalled millions of cars that year after reports that some mossles have problems with sudden acceleration. the company still faces dozens of wrongful death lawsuits. residents of san francisco have been saved from that possible rail strike if only for the weekend. a 60 day cooling off period for strike by bay area rapid transit workers. but with no firm contract on the table, negotiators have agreed to meet for another day of talks. workers say they will walk off the job on monday if a deal is not reached. the business news now, the nation's largest bank reporting its earnings. joining us now with more on that. >> the word of the day is loss. losses, government probes have alleged improper trade willing impacting jpmorgan chase bottom line. a third quarter loss of $380 million. even though it pulled

buying is spreading in asia and tokyo. the winning streak continues up nearly 1.5%. hong kong's and china shanghai both up sharply as well. the one market watch says when the debt ceiling deal is finally dealt with, wall street can then turn its focus on what really matters company profits. >> i know that there withdraws some fear that you had some slowness, you had some weakness on economic indicators. and you saw some consumer survey saying that the consumer was -- didn't have their heart into this economy. >> the government shut down delaying the release of two more economic reports. investors should be fouring over the index, that measures inflation at the wholesale level, also missing today is retail sales. an important indicator since it accounts for two-thirds of the economy. >> is that a big dent in

the coffers or just a drop. >> remember a loss only means that you didn't bring enough money to cover all your expenses and it is revenue is $24 billion. that's more than 60 times its loss. >> and legal ebbs pences have we seen those, what may they be? >> that is still up in the air, but the bank says it has put aside $23 billion to cover those costs. so from their perspective they are covered. >> i may go back to law school. thank you very much. still ahead, the hot button issue of fracking and how courts in one country are handling a ban on the cheap energy source, with big environmental concerns. >> i'm john henry smith, it is deja vu all over again, and not a good way because of that guy behind me, highlights coming up in sports. #e

these are our top stories at this hour. there appears to be movement in that government stand off. at a white house meeting republican leaders floating the idea of a temporary rise in the nation's debt ceiling. also worried they are work -- and a surprise winner for this year's nobel peace prize. it was given to the global watchdog group the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons. braising them for its efforts to rid the world of deadly chemical weapons. a monstrous and facially catastrophic storm. phailin packing winds near 170 miles per hour. it is expected to make land fall on saturday. groups fighting to symptom fracking in the u. are hoping to follow

in the footsteps of france. it was the first country to ban the practice, and now france's top court has upheld that ban. >> taking pictures to chart what happens here. a few months ago, drilling equipment she tells us was being used leading her to believe the land was being considered as a future site for shale gas extraction, otherwise known as fracking. test isles the site operating told al jazeera it is totally compliant with france's ban on fracking. >> fracing is only for five years ten years it is a no hope idea. >> as long as you wish to get fossil energy, that

fossil energy will be finished one day. >> fracing is a technique used to extract gas, a drill digs deep, then moves horizontally where it is thought gas is trapped between shale rock. water sand and chemicals are bumped down at high pressure, fracturing the rock and releasing the gas. but the method has been criticized for creating small earth tremors and polluting the water table. two years ago, france became the first country in the world to ban fracking, but a u.s. energy firm decided to challenge the law. >> the constitutional council has decided to uphold the law, the french public still need to be convinced by the oil and gas industry, that the benefits of fracking outweigh any environmental risks. >> and that could take some doing. shale exploration has been embraced by governments sufficient as the u.s., but also resisted by sop communities. supporters of exploration

and france though believe it has been unfairly judged. >> the benefit is clear, is to produce their own resources of the economy. s and and payable oil. and therefore, replacing imports on the economy. >> the industry is unlikely to give up its fight to frac in france. isabel levy is as determined to keep this land clear, for the future generations. supporters say the costs has been reduced to about a third as that in france. the prestigious award was given to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons. now the opcw beat hundreds to take the prize, including the hively favored activist

school girl. joining us to discuss this she is director of the peace research institute. your reaction to the win over the use. >> well, i have to admit it was a bit of a surprise, and i have a habit on speculating on the nobel peace prize every year. she was on the top of my list, she has been up there on the top since september. but that being said, the. p.c.w. is certainly a very worthy candidate. it is a candidate that speaks directly to the formulation of the evolution or reduction of standing armies in nobel's will formulated in the mid -- 1890s and i think in many ways the highly appropriate prize to a very successful disarmament regime. >> then a lot of people will be wondering, and perhaps you can provide

some light on this, why not malali? what did she not do right to win this award? >> well, that is a hard question, because the deliberations of the committee, are documented but those documents lock and barrel for another 50 years and until then we won't know. i think the committee may have been concerned about her age. youngest winner so far, was 32 years old and she was awarded the prize. there may also have been concerns that the prize could result in harder security threats to malala herself, a responsible that i'm sure the committee has seriously discussed. and then, of course, the committee is seen as particularly recent

years, very concerned about the using the prize as a force to impact events and i can see how they may have been very tempted by the situation in syria, where the chemical to kem scal weapons and their destruction, not only became a discussion in their own right, but in many ways signify the shift from a pure military power track to a track in which it is diplomacy and self-power, and the ability of the actual parties to the conflict both within syria and the modern neighborhood, to sit down and speak together. and find reasonable solutions to the conflict. >> there has been a lot of discussion about the nobel peace price becoming political. it seems to ray line with that, is that your take.

>> well, i would criticize for being political. i think the prize wants to be political, otherwise it would lose its feat. it shouldn't be political in a talking political scene, it should make important statements about war and peace in the world, as it stands today, and i think in the course of the nobel peace prize's existence, it has been very very successful at that. part of the prescription for the price of success is the fact that it's been alternating between high profile, well known accepted including sitting presidents or state leaders and morally committed impressive individual society activists. through that the price has held about its moral value and its impact.

didn't mean to interrupt, but thank you for being with us this morning the director of the peace research institute, he joins us live via oslo. india is bracing for the arrival of tropical cyclone phailin. that means it could be packing winds of 157 miles an hour, or more. meteorologist say the storm is now half the size of india as it forms above the bay of bengal, phailin is expected to hit the coastal areas and for more on the massive storm and a look at our national forecast this morning we turn to nicole mitchell. >> yes, a couple of things going on. the national forecast, because we do have a couple of problem as you are try tock get out the door leer is what we have been looking at the mid atlantic, we have low off the coastline, and that

has been bringing in persistence rain. where some of that is now, but you look at places like philadelphia, or anywhere along the mid atlantic, the 95 corridor will be slow. but the airports the rain and the lower clouds makes it harder for the plains to get in and out. the rain hasn't been quite there yet. two hours away on that flight. it will stay persistence, it will taper off.

>> to the 50's by the weekend, we have high wind warning and then some of those in the rockies because of the combination of the snow. but the wind blowing that around, making some of those mountain passes very treacherous. as i mention add huge temperature contract behind the system, the warm verses cold air. >> i have to tell you the truth. >> there you go. one way or the other, history seems poised to

repeat itself. sungny grey in a win or go home situation game. performance of last saturday, when he beat the great justin verlander. when they stepped up in the fourth, he did so batting just 235 with no home runs. this is what we call foreshadowing. this is what we call a two run homer. loving life. they jump to a 2-0 lead. to verlander has a no hitter going. that's right. that's correct a no hitter. no verlander in total control. later in the inning. two outs. steps tune the plate and hits one right back up the middle, verlanders no no. after six and two-thirds innings.

what must have the a's been feeling. relief? hope? the two outs in the 8th, verlander notches the ten, and gives away to closer having given up no runs. let the tying run get to the plate. set smith couldn't get it done, the tigers beat the a ais 3-0 to eliminate the a's for the second straight year and advance to the alcs. for the third straight year. don't give up a run. i knew that every pitch was magnified. especially with the way he was throwing the ball. i just told myself, keep executing don't worry about that, just make your pitches and see what happens. >> while the tigers and the red soxes at the
