graham. this is an abrupt change 40 hours ago. they'll extended the debt ceiling just temporarily. they didn't talk about opening the government and pass that clean spending bill but that is on the table now. things are continuing at pace. >> does it look like a working weekend for congress? >> well, the senate is supposed to be in. no question about that.

>> another super committee to work on all of these deficit and budget issues. >> it's a great question. no one has the answers. what is a pretty realistic option is she do go with someone that is a short term debt ceiling increase. then they turned toward of course, this is presuming the government opens up. this is sort of a package deal. then the president is willing to sit down and say, hey, listen, i love obamacare, it's not going anywhere, but i will talk to you about these things. at that point the president is wide open because he has to live up to what he has been saying all along. open the government, extend the debt ceiling, and then we have to have legislation. if you want to fix things that are admittedly not working well in obamacare, then you have to

tell me where that money is going to come from, and what other implementations we have to put in place whether it's on defense spending. they could open this up. >> i'm going to pars it out. is it a clean bill on raising the debt ceiling? yes or no? >> is the bill clean? yes, it will be clean for a finite period of time. >> then what opens the government again? is that just another discussion? because the way this is playing out you could raise the debt ceiling, and we could be talking about a government shutdown three weeks from now. >> i don't think that's going to happen. there is nothing that is going to come out of the house. the senate will not stand for that. harry reid will not stand for

it. he's not someone that we've talked about today, and he's got a big piece of this as well. >> thank you. let's have you back often. utah will put up $1.7 million to reopen it's eight national parks. president obama gave states an option to reopen parks so long as they pay for it. many rural economies have lost millions in tourism dollars because of closures. ththe just a week after a deadly boat accident off the italian island of lampedusa, it has happened again, believe it or not. a boat carrying hundreds of my grants. authorities say 260 people have been evacuated. we're joined from malta with details, carl, what can you tell us? >> reporter: tony, this is migrant drama on the high seas.

also developing into high political football between italy, malta and brussels, given the strong words delivered a few minutes ago, addressing them to the local media, and his word directed to brussels asking how many more people have to die before brussels actually has to do something to take stock of the tragedies and defining the mediterranean sea as a way for my grants. these are people who are looking for a future and finding certain death as she try to reach they h europe. 27 people have lost their lives, and 150 people have managed to be rescued by the maltese and italian navy. the drama unfolded 5:00 central

will hold another day of talks with president hear could karz. was there any progress made during today's meeting? >> reporter: well, tony, it's hard to say those were talks but secretary kerry and president karzai not only had a meeting but they had a dinner together as well. the two men have a strong and long-standing relationship, they've known each other for a long time. if anyone can get this moving on this agreement is secretary kerry. >> jennifer, what are some of the issues, i know there are a few of them, but make you can outline a few of the issues holding up the agreement. >> they say the agreement is 95% done. the negotiations have been going on for a year. but the two key sticking points

appear to be one, u.s. forces will be allowed to operate on their own after 2014 in the n.a.t.o. mission ends. that's something that president karzai opposes. and the united states have balked a and the threatening its neighborhoods. those are the sticking points that are needed if the u.s. forces are going to stay in afghanistan after 2014. >> do afghans support--afghans in general, in kabul and throughout the country--do they support keeping foreign troops in their country after the mission ends in 2014? >> well, many afghans are divided. i've spoken to many afghans around the country over the last few months. many believe you need forces to

keep stakeout and support the fledgling afghan military, which is the numbers n.a.t.o. would like it to be at 350,000. afghans think perhaps not as experienced and need foreign troops, and others think it's the foreign troops that have caused the problems and the attacks are against foreign forces, and if they leave afghanistan things would be peaceful here. a bit divided whether afghans want foreign forces to stay. >> the air force has fired a general in charge of

my name is ranjani chakraborty,

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. both parties are working towards a resolution of debt debate. senator republicans met with the president earlier, no deal was reached but they continue to talk. india is bracing for the arrival of a tropical cyclone the equivalent of a category 5 hurricane when it makes landfall on saturday. just a week after the deadly boat accident off the island of lamedusa, another occurred

again. i27 are dead and 206 people have been rescued. the winner of this year's nobel peace prize, opcw was the surprise to many people. >> reporter: for the second year in a row an organization won the peace prize. >> the nobel peace prize fo for 2013 is to be awarded to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons opcw for its extensive work of eliminating chemical weapons. >> reporter: it was a surprise announcement. the opcw has until recently been a relatively obscure body. born in 1977, it has been thrown into the global spotlight by the

use of weapons in syria. more inspectors will soon follow for what is widely seen to be a mission fraught with danger. >> the peace prize brings us stronger commitment and dedication. i hope this award and the organization's ongoing mission together with the united nations and syria will have broader efforts of bringing peace to the country and end the suffering of its people. >> reporter: the opcw wins the award over other stiff competition. the prize going to an organization is not to everyone's taste. >> the inspiration should come

from the inspirational acts of an individual. not from an organization. and i think--i hope that in years to come it won't become habit to give these awards to organizations. i hope it will go back to the traditional individual services. >> reporter: but in some ways the opcw does hark back to one of the main inspirations of the award which had disarmament at its heart. >> we should tell you in syria reaction to the opcw nobel win was a bit more muted. the syrian opposition criticized the peace prize as immature as war continues in the region. we have this report from neighboring beirut. >> reporter: for the syrian people the chemical weapons deal, the disarmament of chemical weapons stock piles does not end the war. syrian people really feel that the world has yet again abandoned them.

people continue to be killed by conventional weapons, airstrikes, shelling, and the battles really continuing. this deal really did nothing to stop the war. but it did open the way for the possibility of international peace conference in geneva. it's still too early to say whether that will take place. the people of syria, they were hoping that the world would have intervened to stop the killing and the bloodshed. now these chemical weapons inspectors face a very difficult unprecedented dangerous task. they're working in a war zone. what we understand is that some of these chemical weapons facilities are located in contested areas. one of those areas is southeast of the city of aleppo. we understand that the government has launched a major offensive to keep rebels from taking over that facility. the rebels in that area belong to al-qaeda-linked groups, and undoubtedly this would be a nightmare scenario for the west

to see these groups get their hands on these stock piles in those facilities. >> it is a reversal of fortune for dixon, illinois. last year the town became victim of the largest embezzlement scam in history. the city negotiated a $40 million settlement in connection with that crime. the city is hoping to use the money to put the past behind it. >> reporter: all around dixon illinois, these days, residents are pondering the same question. how should the town spend $40 million. >> the dull stuff like infrastructure. >> when i was little we had a wonderful public peel. >> reporter: this picturesque town is getting the money from a legal settlement involving it's former comptroller. she was convicted of stealing $54 million from the town to

fund a lavish lifestyle including homes and a horse breeding operation. they sued the auditors for not catching the crime. >> we've all been punched in the gut. >> reporter: at this town meeting residents offered suggestions to the city of how they think the money ought to be spent. >> i think there should be a full real estate tax abasement for one year. >> walkway across the river. >> reporter: install a new sewer line and pay off more than $20 million in debt dixon took on over 20 years to make up for the stolen funds. mayor jim, but said the city council is keeping an open mind on the best way to use the money. >> our bottom line criteria on this whole thing is that we want to make decisions based on what is in the best interest of the community. >> reporter: despite the settlement, one question continues to hang over dixon,

how could the theft of so much money go on for so long and nobody noticed? town officials don't have an answer for that, but cher trying to be more transparent. dixon telegraph reporter dick baratelo said that dixon could serve as an example to other communities. >> i think the natural question to ask is because dixon didn't notice it for 20 years. >> reporter: they're hoping the settlement that it puts the town on a prosperous path. al jazeera, dixon, illinois. >> the vatican is recalling thousands of collector medals that misspell the name jesus. 6,000 gold, silver and bronze coins went on sale on thursday honoring pope francis. i'm not making this up. the medal showed the pope with a

latin phrase that mistakenne miy uses the letter "l" instead of letter "j" for jesus. >> fighting back against pirates. >> reporter: i'm michael eaves in st. louis where it's almost time for game one between the dodgers and the cardinals. we'll have a preview coming up next.

it drives discussion across america. >> share your story on tv and online. >> the new tom hanks film opens today. captain phillips is based on the real kidnapping in 2009. and it has refocused attention on piracy. as of august 31, there have been 176 reported piracy incidents worldwide. ten of those including two hijackies were somali related and big money is involved. of the 25 successful high jacks in 2011, pirates earned $146 million. that is almost $5 million per ship. phil ittner has more from london. >> reporter: the center of the film depicts somali piracy at

its most rampant in 2009. today shipping lanes are comparatively safe. new security measures and increased patrols stop the pirates from attac attack. thousands from this facility in london, hundreds around together around the world and monitor every vessel traveling in the region and coordinate patrols to interdict pirates in the area. >> it was a very frenetic time as the number of incidents were rolling in every day. >> reporter: with the gulf of aiden so crucial, many nations patrol the waters together. the u.s. has elements of the fifth fleet. the chinese and russian navies

patrol the coast of somalia, and ships take better precautions to protect itself. some high tech like an u.s. developed beam weapon which causes the sensation of intense burning without long affects. and a new set of guidelines, the creation of panic rooms away from the bridge bridge not allowing the pirates to take control or take hostages like in captain philip's case. and a change in international law allows armed guards on ship. all this has drastically changed things in the region. >> piracy is tactically under control in the gulf of aid. one ship held and 54 hostages. but when it was taken in april of 2009 there were 15-plus ships being held and about 250 plus

hostages being held. so a very significant reduction. >> reporter: but the admiral acknowledges that the tide could turn again and it needs to be followed up inland. there is a new recognized government in mogadishu but the country is far from under control. they now provide guards for ships. he's concerned about slipping into a false sense of security. >> there is a great ship with no ship being captured by the somalis for over a year that people will turn around and say its safe. i can go without security. i would say, and they're wrong. if people stop securing their vessels as they are at the moment then the threat, the risk of somali pirates will come back. >> those pirates experts say are just waiting to see if the world will continue spending time and effort making it too costly to launch pirate attacks against

30,000 ships that pass by their shores every year potentially carrying a treasure right for plunder. >> reporter: crimes on the high sea are nothing kne new, and the likely never to be irradicated. phil ittner, al jazeera, london. >> people who work in the drone industry are gathering to discuss how drones can be used in an unmanned setting. they're here to help with law enforcement and emergency services. one of the centers of the u.s. drone industry. [ engine revving ] >> reporter: this is a maverick and inside its body this aircraft carries within it cutting edge technology.

with a free planned flight path, it is aligning up for training sessions. >> you can find something, you can look at t track it, and they say, you know what else we can do? we can do agriculture, pipeline inspection, we're getting feedback that the planes are more versatile than we thought. >> reporter: and small highly advanced drones are increasingly being approved by the u.s. government for use in civilian air space, making this a booming business. the applications are limitless. these craft being bought by the u.s. military, civil engineers and the emergency services. but as this technology becomes more advanced in these eyes in the sky more prevalent there are now concerns about privacy. >> reporter: the human rights lawyers like professor nagen this is what worries him the

most. >> the constraints, i need to see that. as the mantra of a public policy of a great power. i need to see that. i'm uneasy about t and i'm not the only one. >> reporter: but there are no concerns about privacy where they are built. the company's ceo say drones have been used to fight fires and save lives. invading people's privacy are the last thing on his mind. >> we carry cellphones where we voluntarily input all of our personal information. these tools much more easily violate our rights than any unmanned aircraft system. >> reporter: while the debate over the use of drones continues to heat up its estimated by 2015 there will be more than 7,000 of these craft in the skies above north america. >> i got to tell you a lot of people were pulling for 16-year-old malulla to win the

peace prize. but it was not to be. she was shot in the head in pakistan but survived. she went on fo on to become an advocate for education for girls. she's launching a foundation to help educate girls. it's international day of the girl, and unicef has found an artistic way to celebrate, an interactive mural shows girls working in sweat shops, and erases to see girls i in the classroom. a group of graffiti artists here in salt lake city fighting to stop an old factory complex to be demolished. the reason, it's become a canvas for street artists all over the world. >> reporter: on a subway train in manhattan one building stands

out ablaze with color and creativity. it's known as five points. >> there is no other such location that offers more space at any given time, at any given date for artists whether you're amazing, horrible, in between or never touched a can and just want to experience it. we do offer that. [♪ music ] >> reporter: an icon of street arts it's been a backdrop for movies and music videos. but the building is now slated for destruction. the name five points refer tots five boroughs of new york city all coming together. but, in fact, this site attracts graffiti artists and admirers all over the world on a daily basis, and news that this soon will all be lost is hitting them hard. >> reporter: these artists came all the way from france.

>> all around the world people talk about five points. to many graffiti artist who is came here, and it's very sad it will be gone. >> reporter: the owners plan to build two highrises on the site after years allowing the artists to work there. the plans include galley space for artists as well as a place for their art work outside of the building. the city councilor helped to negotiate the deal. >> the folks at five points wanted it to be just what it is. kind of forever. and that wasn't possible given the private ownership of the land. >> reporter: but the artists aren't happy. they filed a law enforcement under the visual artist rights act which gives artists say over their works regardless of who owns them. >> it's definitely not attacking the landlord. it's really fighting for the artist. and giving them a voice after 11

years of work they deserve it. >> reporter: with few legal places left to spray paint the destruction of five points will send these artists back underground. their work here consigned to street art history. al jazeera new york. >> and darren is here with a day of sports and the tigers have got something going on particularly over the last to yofewyears. >> reporter: winner take off. the american league championship series last night. tigers win 3-0 thanks in part to justin verlander. it was a champagne bath in the tigers locker room. justin verlander who carried a no-hit bid struck out ten batters in eight innings giving him 21 ks in his last two starts in oakland. so the tigers get ready for their al championship series.

the st. louis cardinals and la dodgers take the field for the best of seven. that's where we bring in michael eaves in the gateway city. michael, the cardinals must be happy to start things right at home at busch stadium. >> reporter: no doubt, if you're going to try to make another run at the world series you want to start at home. you want to take a look at the organization over the years having won 19 world series title and 18 trips to the world series and over the last decade enough been one of the more consistent winners having gone to the playoffs in ten of the last 14 4 si14seasons. this time it was different. this was full of obstacles. >> reporter: the cardinals learned early this season that it would take their entire roster and beyond to have a successful season. >> we continue to keep having confidence.

we know we're a god team. we've got the pitching and the offense. we have to keep believing in ourselves. >> reporter: with two fifths of the rotation on the shelved, the veteran back stop was as reliable as ever on the plate hitting 319. but the best work was behind the you dish nurturing a pitching staff with the best eras in the national league. >> i just didn't want to let go of yadi. this is why i signed back here. >> reporter: rookie michael transitioned into a big game pitcher. if pitching and defense wins championships then the cardinals have put themselves in perfect position to subject. >> we'll eliminate distraction, figure out how to do your piece, nothing more, nothing less. our guys have done that on a consistent basis and i can't see

no reason why they won't condition. >> reporter: the last two times these two teams faced one another is the series at bush stadium and catcher molina did not play in that galeres the dodgers have plenty of rest. they haven't played a game since monday. how are they looking for this game tonight? >> not only will it allow mattingly to set up his rotation. the cardinals missing two of their younger pitchers,io kelly and mike walker, don mattingly has greinke and kershaw going in game two. dodgers' to veteran aces. >> our situation i think we feel like both guys are number ones, and so it's nice to be able to start the series out.

i think both those guys make us feel good, and coming in here with a club like st. louis, and knowing what kind of ball club they have to be able to come in here with those two guys, you feel like they're going compete no matter where they are at. in this environment it's nice to have those two right on top. >> and one interesting note about clayton kershaw, he suffered two losses in two appearances to the cardinals this season. >> that is right, thank you for reporting. big playoff games in baseball getting started. >> i can't wait for this series in particular. all right, darren, appreciate it. the calendar may say october but in arizona it looks a lot like christmas? yeah, normally sunny state has been covered by an inch of snow. now that looks like fun. it is the earliest snowfall the state has seen in 50 years. winter doesn't officially begin for another ten weeks. meteorologist dave warren will
