>> fail slams the indian coastline, leaving several dead, forcing thousands into shelters. >> we'll do everything we can to make the point that we won't negotiate. >> all talk, but still no access. the government shutdown remaining at a stand still while the debt ceiling looms close. glitch in the system - a computer out ige keeping millions from using their food cards. a participation breakthrough in the fight against alice springs and parkinsons. >> it's the biggest

direct hit from thea massive storm. the cyclone weakened before making land fall but was still four times the size of hurricane katrina. these are some of the first pictures of the damage, the extent of which still isn't fully known. al jazeera has confirmed that at least three people are dead, and that number is expected to go up. sigh chone fall lean at 1

point in excess of 300-kilometers per hour, smashed into india's eastern coast in the early hours of saturday earning. although authorities has already evacuated 800,000 people, most inland shelters away from traditional huts found in small communities along the coast. and as the powerful storm hit land, it slowed considerably. >> at this time, the wind speed is 40 to 50-kilometers per hour. carry out rescue operations. >> early reports suggest that there won't be too many to rescue. with the death toll in single figures. though communications have been cut, and trees uprooted officials remains confident that advanced preparations and evacuations had saved hundreds of lives. but it's still pouring down in many areas.

>> it is off the range of ten to 20-centimeters. and at many places, and isolated ex-freely heavy rainfall has also been reported to stations. >> damage to agriculture is also down played and works were complete my on the scene in some effected areas clearing and cutting fallen trees. officials say they have learned a lot of lessons since 1999 when a cyclone killed more than 10,000 people. lessons that have paid off. >> more than 800,000 people were evacuated many of them now seeking relief in shelters. sonia kush, thank you for being with us this

morning. >> thank you. >> now, what are your colleagues seeing on the ground right now? specifically what are they doing in terms of aid? >> since we could see this coming my colleagues in india prepositioned relief supplies to be ready to hit the ground running as soon as the storm passed. so we had teams on the ground, by the coast, and today they are outside doing assessments, finding pockets ovule special people so they can give aid to them. they say it is still raining and very hard to get around because the roads are blocked but they are so thankful that the loss of life seems to be minimal at this time. they know there's a lot of work ahead to get relief to people. this is going to be a long term response, so they are eager to get out and start providing assistance. >> now, you mentioned pockets of vulnerable people, so how are the needs of children you no ebbing in a situation like this. >> well, going through a

cyclone that sweeps through the area at night has to be a very scary experience. we know that they are very resilient, however it is frightening. so we want to give them some normalcy, make sure they get back into school as quickly as possible. make sure they have as much of a normal routine as we can. we will give them relief in terms of food, and water, and shelter for their families but we really want to look at the emotional needs as wail. >> so then what is your plan for establishing that? >> well, in terms of resoaring normalcy for children, we will be making sure that schools are returned to their normal function as soon as possible, that's the best way that children can cope. because it brings them back to their routine. in terms of normalcy at their home, if there are a lot of houses that have been destroyed. so we will be working

with their families to make sure they can go home as quickly as possible. >> are you getting help from the government. >> the indian government has to be given a lot of credit. so we are closely coordinating with them. there's a good coordination structure on the ground that we are fitting into, and definitely taking their lead, and fitting in within the overall response. >> so where are the gaps in response? well, because it is so early it is hard to say right now. in situations like we find that a lot of times children's needs aren't prioritized. >> for save the children in washington, d.c., thank you for being with us this morning. >> here to give us the latest on phailin and the rest of the forecast,

let's bring in our meteorologist. >> i think you asked sonia a very good question about normalcy, they sound like trains coming through and these children returning to their homes won't see anything that looks remotely normal. trees are down all over the place, and it is too early to assess the level of damage, but the good news is that it continues to barrel towards the north. you can see juan of the land fall quickly. a lot of the trees really helps to mitigate the storm propelling into densely populated areas. they aren't able to endure that type of wind, those types of winds.

and the chief minister lost his job, so we continue to monitor what is going on. we expect heavy lain through the next 24 to 48 hours. it's very pesky now. >> back into portions of northern nevada and the highest elevations because of the dense cloud cover and the wind pushing in it will be a bit of a chillier day, we will see that snow across portions of northern nevada all and all it will be quiet.

as the cold front continues to push through, the heaviest of the rain is across the south, in texas, antonio, and certainly across northern portions of louisiana. in the northeast we are looking at a few clouds across portions of new york this morning, it is a beautiful morning all and all, i think it is going to be a gorgeous day. you are looking at live pictures of new york city. in washington the debate shifts to the senate after house republicans are unable to broke ear deal with president obama last week. senate democrats met with the president saturday to strategize on how to end the deadlock. the 75 minute meeting came after they rejected the proposal by senator susanne colin. now the burden falls squarely on harry reed and minority lead tore find a solution to the

cry is. both men have a long complicated and often contentious history. but reid says they must find a common ground. >> we have done thing for a long time together. i know him, and he knows me. we don't agree on everything, and is that's probably a understatement, we did some good things together to revamp government together as whips so this is what legislation is all about. if we have political scientists out there now, this is a classic case of what legislation is all about. the brock we have had in recent years is we have had too little sitting down trying to work out problems. that's what we are doing now.

>> for house republicans saturday signaled an end for their part. they conceded that the if the rejected their offer, and instead chose to work with senators from both parties to end the stalemate. the president has rejected every offer we have made, so i guess we will wait to see what the senate comes up with. >> as to if a small group in republicans in the house understand how high this cliff is and how close we are to it. meanwhile the president of the world bank urged them to find an answer. as debate continues there are a few key days to keep in mind. on october 17th the government will no longer be able to borrow, and then we will only have an estimated 30 billion-dollars in cash left. that cash will run out sometime between

october 22nd and the end of the month. benefits for social security, and veterans could be put on hold. the government must pay $6 billion in debt interest, or default. on november 1st, $60 billion is due for benefit programs with no increase, those payments could be delayed another two weeks. if the economy slows and tax payments fall short, a default could happen. the obama administration is allowing states to use their own money to pay for parks. nearly a dozen national parks and monuments have temporarily reopened their gates thanks to state funding. one those is the statue of liberty. she reopened today, and then on friday utah reopened six attractions including the zions and

arches national park. arizona's grand canyon also reopened on saturday, along with colorado's rocky mountain national park, and then of course tomorrow, south dakota's mount rush moore is scheduled to reopen. colorado's rocky mountain national park is one of the parks that is reopening and al jazeera has more. >> in arizona the grand canyon is open again, the state agreed to pay 650,000 dollars to keep it going for the next week. >> this landmark draws millions of visitors every year, and i just refuse to let wrong headed federal policy stop tourists worldwide the opportunity to see this magnificent landscape. >> it is money the obama administration the state isn't likely to get back, but with thousands of jobs depend on it that's a bargain the state appears ready to make. the situation is similar in south dakota where the state will spend $15,000

each day to keep mount rush moore open. here in colorado the tourists are already back. a relief to businesses that depend on tourism. >> that's the draw for people to come here without the park, we wouldn't be here. >> one month ago, devastating floods closed most of the roads leading here, at the height of the tourist season. >> when i first heard there was a possibility of the park opening up it is hard to believe, it was good to be true. >> to reopen the park, taxpayers will pay 40,000-dollar as day, some reopenings are more about symbolism than the economy. >> ladies and gentlemen, come right this way. >> that's why new york stay taxpayers will pay 61,000-dollar as day to reopen the statute of liberty. so the governors in other states have to decide what they want to do. will they use tax dollars to open up the federal parks or miss out on the tourist dollars that could be flowing through natural attractions like

this. >> in washington saturday, police has to bring in a small army in what is usually an unmanned lincoln memorial. this happened after protest r tors pushed past. they are angry over the closure due to the government shut down. police eventually escorted them away from the memorial. >> food stamp recipients in 17 states can once again use their e.b.t. cards. the benefits card stop works because of a glitch in the system. the program is run by xerox, which says the problem has been fixed. a spokes man for the government insists the problem was not related to the shut down. the baby hope case, it was a two decade ode case that grisessed earthquake many. after he confessed to sexually assaulting and smothering four-year-old

angelica cassie owe, also known as baby hope, he was her cousin. in 1991, her decome posed body was found inside a cooler on the side of the highway. for 20 years no one knew who she was, who her family was, or who killed her. >> an anti-columbus day rally tuneds violent, where police used water canyons to break up a protest. the indigenous protests were marching against columbus day, the holiday that lays claim that christopher columbus discovers the americas. like america, chili also recognizing columbus day as a national holiday. leaving no survivors peruvian authorities say 51 people including children were on their way to a celebration when it veers off of a cliff

and into a river. >> what thousand runners will hit the streets in chicago for the chicago marathon. organizers have been beefing up security along the rout, to keep the estimated 1.7 million spectators safe. >> 45 now people have signed up to run in this year's chicago marathon, police here are on alert. >> eyes on the ground and just about every foot of the rout, and packages and suspension behavior will be addressed is the best way to put it. >> it comes in the headache of the boston marathon bombing in which three people dies and more than 200 were injured.

especially since the marathon expect expects tow 1.7 million spectators. >> we transform oath way like you see here, into what is the marathon course, so that transportation the corner stone is security. we secure the roadways. >> chicago's grand park where it starts and ends is no stranger to massive crowd control, requiring a robust security detail. >> in june, the grand park was the site of a massive rally celebrating the chicago black hawks stanley cub victory. more than 2 million people attended. still, marathon organizers have tightened security measures. this year people will no longer be allows to pick up bid packets and these issues clear plastic bags are the only ones allows inside on race day.

>> four security check points will give runners access to stair staging areas. in addition to the cameras around the city, extra mobile units hike this one will monitor the race. >> we will do our job to everybody can enjoy. as a growth, an entire city, an entire country, an entire world coming together to say that way will not be deterred. >> all precautions for what is the second largest marathon in the world and the first major marathon since boston. the writing is on the wall, or perhaps the typewriter for ladies in one country. why this low age community -- >> and protecting mexico street markets why the fight is on to keep super markets from moving in.

on august 20th,

their rapt respects to a manage known as the red napoleon. he was credited for his leadership in the war against france and the quite. vietnamese largely see him as second only to his mentor the former president. super market giants like wall mat have long been trying to expand to the few countries where they still don't have a presence. but as adam rainy reports. to protect the traditional street markets. it's the largest market in the world, covering more than 300 affairs. >> stock up on fresh groceries to serve as guests.

i pay up to four more times of what i pay here. so i save a lot. >> act half of all food purchases are made at these markets. markets have been central economic life for centuries dating back long before the spanish even came here, and that's made clear this in mural, in which we see a seen. >> these markets are under threat from national and international chains that are popping up across mexico. earlier this year, the supreme court overturn add city law that barred super markets have specific neighborhoods. now, the city is trying to come up with other ways to restrict the chains. making sure these continue to thrive, is a way to protect the social dynamic of the city's neighborhoods.

>> mexico wouldn't speak to us, but says that the city is trying to block the new businesses. many have a sentimental connection. >> mexico city wouldn't be the same. i don't want them to disappear. >> it's the country's current sluggish economy that led to a slow down in construction. the city hopes they will continue to do that for decades to come. al jazeera, mexico city. wal-mart is the world's largest retailer but it doesn't have stores in places like south korea and russia. the retail giant aunderstand nos it is breaking up with its partner in india as well. up and running well, not just yet. contract talks are expected to pick back up today in san francisco. where public transit

workers have gone on strike. the unions are demanding pay for raises for worker whose run the city bart rail system, and they vow to walk off the job if no agreement is reached bynd mo. just three months ago, union members did just that, and five day strike stranded hundreds of thousands of commuters. and a last ditch effort by two old friends, senators mitch mcconnell and harry reid try to end the budget bat and avoided the first government default. the medical break through that's being called a turning point in the fight against alzheimerss. >> i'm mark morgan, the boston red sox faced five tigers pictures and they are inept against all of them. we will show you what happened later in sports.

the budget default nowve falls on the shoulders of harry reid and mitch mcconnell. they are expected to speak again during a special senate session. seven teen states are able to use their debit style cards once again. that's after they stopped working on saturday, and the system is run by xerox who blamed on outstated procedures and not the government shut down. it should be days until we know the effects on india. the massive storm roaring ashore but was still a dangerous and deadly cyclone. and right now, al jazeera has been able to confirm at least three dead. on india's eastern coast and joins us now on the phone. the death toll seems pretty low for a storm of this size. can you explain to us

why. >> well, morgan, the reason for that is basically a lack of information. many of these villages and they go on for hundreds of miles along the coastline, they are remote and currently without power. now, some of these are without power because of the cyclone, but also because of the lesson learns back in 1999. that's when a massive cyclone hit and causes about 10,000 deaths. what happened there was that a lot of power had been restored but fallen trees has knocked off the power lines so in this case, what the government has done has purposely kept the power off. now, what that has done is cut off communication to those areas, so they are telling us it will be at least a couple of days for them to go into those areas and confirm the exact extent of the damage. >> besides the death toll, what other sorts of damage have you seen? >> well, the damage we

are hearing from where the storm was septembering has been mostly in the agricultural areas and the big worry right now is farmland, particularly rice crops. rice is a main staple here, and any damage to the crop beyond minor damage, anything modern, would be quite devastating. not only to local economies but the local food supply. and the thing is that the storm isn't over yet. because it moves away centered north ward, it is now moving inland and effects landmark states. several landmark states are now the governments there are now telling people to prepare for heavy rain, and possible flooding. >> now, you said that the storm is not over, and we know that thousands of people were sent to shelters just last night, so how are those shelters holding up. >> well, most of those shelters are in the remote areas that are still inaccessible, so we

don't know. there were a few should errs here, and the one we visited one of them was very inadequate is right next to the coast. and any shelter inland would have been sufficient, but there were any shelters like the one that the al jazeera crews happened upon in the coast, if they were similar ones those people would have been in serious trouble. >> al jazeera on india's eastern coast says thank you for joining thus morning. now for more on the national forecast, let's bring in meteorologist. >> good morning, morgan. we will continue to watch this cyclone continue to track north-northwest, and it is going to continue to bring heavy rain over the next several days. but the good news is it is cut off, it made land fall here yesterday as it did, you can see the storm quickly dissipated but that area of low pressure as it pushes into drier air will squeeze out as much moisture as it can. but the good news is that the wind is subsiding. by the end of the day i

think we will have winds less than 35 miles per hour. but at least along the coast, the rain will be coming to an end. this area is very mountainous. one third is covered by trees. a lot of those trees are down across the region. now, it will take several days for us to know the extent, but we do know that the government was very proactive this time around as opposed to how it was in 1999, and we did see 800,000 people along coastal areas evacuated and that is very good news. now, we have other news, pushing in across portions of the south china sea. this is a state phenomena as a cyclone or even a hurricane. right now it is the equivalent of a category ii hurricane. just to the north of manila, and now it will make land fall in central vietnam. we have another storm, it is very strong, in the pacific ocean, and this is whipa.

it is turning west right now, but it is going to continue to push towards the north. over the next couple of days and as you can see here, this is japan, the fukushima plant that we have heard about in the last several years is right on the east coast, this is the projected tract, so right now they are going to see heavy rainfall. we are monitoring this very closely as it continues to travel north, because. we see any differences in this track or if it pushes any further, there is room for major concern. across the home front, well, it is a quiet day. it is confidentble for the most part and the northeast will see some rain. if you are traveling around d.c. nothing has changed this week at all. we can see some snow showers popping up, idaho and central idaho we have winter storm ba warnings in effect, you will see some sunshine in los angeles. rain moved across the

great lakes but now we have heavy rain pushes across portions of texas, volvo go along, i ten. >> as a political impasse in washington drags on, the financial world is bracing itself for a default. joining us now is gina ch objectionn. gina, thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> now yesterday the president of the world bank said that the u.s. was just days away from causing a global economic disaster, so in terms of global fall out, what are we likely to see if the white house and congress can't come to an agreement. >> well, we should start seeing the signs when the markets open and we look at how the dollar trades how the future markets trade because that will start to signal how investors are feeling.

more and more worry some that the default could be real, and it isn't just political posturing. and we will see with bankers warning that it could be worse in the 2008 financial crisis worse than the collapse of me man. >> also mentioned how bad a default it can be, so can you explain that to us, why. >> two epersonalling markets obviously need growth, and the u.s. is strong engine for that, the treasury -- so once you see that start to rise, it will have a global impact. >> if we bring the focus back domestically, how are the big banks preparing for the u.s. default. does wall street have a preference for the

democratic republican proposal, is it lobbying congress just one way or another. >> well, they just want to see something happen, period, no matter who it comes from. we saw the executives at the top banks meet with president obama, and urged him to get a deal done, no matter who it comes from. because they are warning that the consequences can be pretty disastrous. i was at a conference yesterday where the c.e.o. of jpmorgan spoke, and when he was asked what could happen, he said basically you don't want to know, it could be like the word was ending basically. sew they are really looking for a solution, and they need one fast. as the 17th gets closer and the debt ceil is reaches the markets will really start to be volatile, and panic could ensue. >> thank you so much.

of the financial times joining us from washington. >> former arizona congresswoman is set to visit a gun show today in new york. gifford who survived an assassination attempt will be accompanied by her husband, former astronaut markelly. the two will be on hand to praise organizers for agreeing to a background check code of conduct. the visit comes as the couple campaigns for a federal law mandating background checks for every gun show across the country. >> dozens of about vests gathered for international coming out day in st. peters burg, they were outnumbered by antigay protestors. 67 people were arrested and russia passed a law in june that bans what it called homo sexual propaganda directed add minors. and gay rights activists are calling on athletes and sponsors to boycott

the games in protest. 11 people are missing after a bridge collapsed in southwest china. the bridge over the river was under construction when it fell into the water on saturday. witnesses say a beam from the crane fell on to the bridge causing it to collapse. an oil rich north dakota people are just now learning about a pipeline link days after it happened. it's said to be the state's largest around 20,000 barrels. a wheat farmer first found the link 11 days ago about nine miles northeast of north dakota. the pipeline is owned by texas -- the leaks have been contained but area residents are furious. they say they should have been told about the spill earlier. state officials say they believe the leak to be much smaller.

everyone, i'm mark morgan, the boston red sox were the highest scoring team in the majors 853 runs the team scored that's just over five runs a game. that prowess was nowhere to be seen last night in game one of the alcs against the tigers. whatever starter annabel sanchez did prior to the game, he needs to do it again, because he struck out a record tying four batters how did he do that have striking out dustin pedroia, so as you see right here, sanchez in total control. who move now to the top of the 6. at that point, breaks through with a single to the center. tigers up 1-0. sanchez still hasn't given up a hit, but he has walked five, oh, make it six. will trouble ensue, not so much.

sanchez rights the ship. one of 12 on the day, sanchez goes six innings. w the no hitter still intact. ben strikes out, only two left now. oh, look at the little blooper to center. you have to worry about the gain itself, two outs runner on second, but they plop up for the final out. they squeeze it and run it 1-0. our loss, has more from b town. >> now there's a saying in baseball, good pitching will all be good hitting and that's exactly the kate tonight. detroit annabel sanchez was lights out. shutting down the big from boston, sanchez threw a no hitter and the bullpen kept that intact,

when daniel got the one and only days hit. wild today. there's a little eradek, but his stuff was nasty. i felt like a hockey goalie back there. a little erratic as it was, just tries to stay a little unpredictable, and i think that's one thing -- >> the last time the red sox are shut out at fenway park in the post season, back in 1918, against the cubs. boston looks to bounce back in game two, whoa get as start against matt. al jazeera. a pitchers dual in game two of the nl c super bowl as well. let's begin bottom of the fifth.

he rips one to left, off clayton kershaw, watch this. kind of like pinball, huh? the ball bouncing around there. that allows freese to steam into second with a stand up double. now later in the inning. kershaw with the pitch, it gets by mark ellis for a fast ball. with runs at a premium, plays like this loom large. now freeze in scoring position. freeze tags and scampers home, they take a 1-0 lead. top of the six. one out. you can see them swinging for out number two. he struck out in all four of his at-bats. he is fired up and he fights his way on to the bases loaded. he struck out eight and six and two-third innings. trevor rosenthal -- aped gray is gone.

>> without a run in this nlcs. >> none bigger than what took place in salt lake city. utah hosting number 5 stanford. third and 17, travis wilson rolling out, he goes up top. we are tied at 14. second quarter first and goal from the three. 21-14 utah, a late goat line, stanford national title hopes take a major hit. the missouri tigers pulled off the upset between the hedges defeating the seven ranked georgia bulldogs, that ends georgia's streak of 15 straight home wins and gives the tigers the first road win over top 10 teams. twenty-fifth ranks tigers in the 6-0 overall, and 2-0 in the sec.

meantime a thriller 9th ranked texas. trailing by seven, johnny manzell, yeah, he will rescue them on this play. 13 on the run, fist down to keep the drive ray live. finds mike evans mike is wide open. 26 yards later, texas a&m has the wall inside the 10. from there he takes it himself. manzell passed the 346 rushes for 124, this is a six-yard scamper and we are tied at 38. that set up this. as time ex-fires 48-30 rate is your final. a busy sunday on tap, the marque match up, the 5-0 saints. facing the patriots in foxborough, that's a wrap for your morning sports. >> thank you so much. and it's being call add medical turning point and british researchers say they have achieve add break through that can lead to a revolution in

the treatment of degenerative brain diseases. many living with park kin sins and alzheimerss are hoping that a cure is not far away. more from london. >> it was diagnosed in 1998, after his hands stopped working so well. >> i went into what i would describe as free fall. wandering what caused it. >> 16 years on, and his symptoms have developed. and he has learned not to second guess them. >> can't really take anything for granted. the condition changes, day by day, hour by hour, minute by h by minute. depending on stress, anxiety, whether or not your medication is working. they all play their part. no ten days are the same.

and no two people with park kin sens are the same either. >> understanding the puzzle posed by neurodegenerative diseases such as parkinsons and alzheimerss is a huge challenge. but scientists in the u.k. are hailing what they are calling a turning point. maybe looking at the root charges, when they appear, the body often reacts by killing off nebraska cells in the effected area. even the person with loss of memory and function. but the researchers have shown that by giving an experimental drug, they can stop the body from attacking. for the moment, this has only been achieved in mice, clinical trials are five to ten years off, but campaigners are watching closely. >> i think it is important we are talking about this, but we must always bear in mind that it can be a long time before we get any success

in patients. we know this is difficult, and many do fail on the way. >> hope is the biggest ally you have. because without that you have nothing. >> al jazeera. >> and joining us now the program leader of that study. she is in london this morning thank you for joining us. >> dr., in terms of the big picture, how big of a break through is this for people who suffer from alzheimerss? it's very important to establish that this is a clinical break through. and not a medical break through, so it is very exciting in that we have -- for the fist time, winter a compound that stops pain cells

degent rating in mice, and we have targeted a new and central fundamental mechanism in brain cells, a process in brain cells can has enabled us to do this. but it is not -- it's very much not a treatment or a medical break through at this moment. it is a scientific step forward, i think one of your earl commentators said that the step now between this and application to humans is still a big one. but we are very encouraged by the fact for the first time we have been able to prevent brain cells throughout the brain? mice. >> in the compounds you mentioned were there any side effects. >> there were. so this compound targets a process in cells that shuts down the production of protein. and this is normally a defensive progress. the shut down is what

killed the brain cells. so the compound targets this and stops it. this process happens in other cells too. and there are -- particularly in the pancreas. a mild form of diabeteses and they lost about 20% of their body weight, which meant we couldn't carry on with the study, i believe that's in effects to the digestic effects on the compound. clearly a design anything to happen would need not to happen. >> you mentioned the enzyme in mice, when can we see a study like this in humans. >> so it would involve a drug development program now. focusing on effects this path way. effecting the ultimate outcome, having to give you -- you have to develop compounds that

don't have -- that have the implications. like in any development. >> thank you so much. program leader of the toxicology unit. keys to the future, why this low tech community is being thrust into the digital era. on inside story, we bring together unexpected voices closest to the story, invite hard-hitting debate and desenting views and always explore issues relevant to you. millions who need assistance now. we appreciate you spending time with us tonight. up next is the golden age of hollywood going golden but elsewhere. why l.a.'s mayor has declared a state of emergency for the entertainment industry there. next.

>> forbesing thousands more into shelters. >> we will do everything we can to make the point that we went to negotiate and he took no offers. >> all talk, but no action. the government shut down in day 13 while the debt ceiling deadline looms dangerously close. plus, what message some vets are planning to seemed lawmakers on both sides of the aisle this morning from the world war ii memorial in d.c.

just starts to be effected on the indian coastline. a direct hit from this massive storm. it was still, still four times the size of hurricane katrina. these are some of the first pictures of the damage and destruction caused. the extent of the damage isn't fully noun, and reports are conflicting. but al jazeera has confirmed at least three people are dead. al jazeera is on indian eastern coast and joins us now. by phone, so tell me what you are seeing there? >> well, right now, we actually missed the storm half way through the night. the storm itself took a turn up northwest ward. and centered. now al jazeera has a crew there, and they are

saying that it's hard to accept the devastation, because some areas have been badly hit, but most of the worst hit are completely cut off. there's more electricity there, and they are so remote. the remote villages go on for hundreds of miles. and officials are saying it will take a couple of days to get the truex tent. there's still heavy rainfall, and there will be a lot of damage to people and places. >> so basically, it is still not over yet, only the beginning. >> no, it's not -- you are correct, it is only the beginning because the storm at the last minute shifted up northwest, it is going much more inland than they predicts. so now hand mark states are now preparing themselves and deeing people to get ready for heavy rainfall, and possible flooding. so it will be several more days that the full effect of this cyclone will be known. >> even as we vehicle, there are people that need help that could be a

while before people get to them. thank you so much, now, as phailin subsides the focus is turns to those that need help. operations manager for the region at the relief services, she is about 25 miles away from the coast of eastern india, thank you for joining us, so term us what you are seeing on the ground? the areas that you know people need help in most immediately. >> yes. the phailin has crossed the region, that has moved to interior -- and is predicted to cause heavy rains. er and further progression, which is all across india, many parts of india, and also -- there have been huge

damages to intersections and has stops supplies. and the water two to three feet of water has entered into the interior causing water logging conditions. and there has been a lot of damage to the mud houses and agricultural crops and plantation. >> what types of services are you providing to people right now? >> right now, we are i in -- doing the assessment, and reaching out to the effected areas. we are ready with our supply kits. so that they can install temporary tents so that they can shelter. we are also ready with the kits to supply to the most effected households.

because of the water logging it is a key issue there. >> talk a little bit more about that. did i understand you do have san case turns? which is common in situations like this. talk more about that? >> hello can you -- can you please repeat the question. >> absolutely. i understand that in situations like this sanitation is very common, can you tell me more about what your concerns are and how you deal with it? >> yes. the concern is the -- the but the concern is that everywhere there is water all around, there is no isolated places where people can defecate, so the concern is that it is going to contaminate the water sources and it might lead to some sort of health and disease risks.

with the church partners and a team of doctors and professionals to start up with any health services that may be required immediately. >> approximately how many people. could end up homeless because of this. >> hem low? request you hear me? actually we lost her, but we appreciate the information we were getting from the catholic relief. we will continue to reach out to her and chief to give us the latest.

>> good morning. we will continue to monitor phailin, no long ear cyclone but a very strong area of low pressure, and really a storm. going to produce some heavy rain. really looking at the first images we are seeing right now. because of the sun did rise this morning and we were able to see the trees were still blowing. so the winds are still strong, but they are gradually subsiding. take a look here at the map. when the storm made land fall it dissipated. which is the fuel for the storm to continue turning and all that convex, those thunderstorms that you can see around the band. so it did dissipated pate, but now it's pushing across the northern and western portion, and it is going to continue to track further north and bring heavy rain. most of this area consistents of forest land. this is a plateau that has one third trees.

a lot of those are down, and given that the roads are just inaccessible right now. heavy rain expects throughout the day. that area just tracts further inland and knot. and because it is moving in it will squeeze out all of that moisture. we have to continue to monitor this very closely, and also somewhere to monitor another storm called neurodegenerativeari that is in the north china sea. it killed 13 people there, and it regains strength, now it will push into central street nan. and really bring heavy rain to the area we are also mod toring a typhoon that continues to push across the pacific ocean, right now it has maximum sustained winds. the projected tract has it pushing further towards the north. right now it is south of japan. the plant that's been in the news a lot lately, over the last couple of years is on the east coast.

if we see the storm push further to the west, we could be a catastrophe on our hands. right now the tract has it further to the north, then it will take a turn to the east. we will be monitoring this very closely, back to you, rachelle. >> thank you so much. in washington the debate shifts to the senate after house republicans were unable to broke ear deal with president obama. senate determines met to strategize on how to end the deadlock. the 75 minute meeting came after they rejected the latest proposal by senator susanne colins. now the burden falls squarely on majority lead tore find the a solution to this cry issue. both men have a long pretty complicated off contentious history, but reid says they must find common ground and get a deal done. >> we have done things for a long time together. i know him. he knows me.

we don't agree on everything, that's probably a understatement. we have fond memories in our days together when others can take the responsibility that we have to take. we have done good things together, we revamped government together, so this is what legislation is all about. we have political scientists out there now, this is a classic case of what legislation is all about. the problem we have has in recent years is we have had too little sitting down trying to work out problems. that's what we are doing now. >> the house republican signals an enter for their part in fixing the stalemate. they conceded. the president rejected their offer. >> the president has rejected every offer that we have made, and so we are going to i guess wait to see what the senate comes up with.

>> there is a real question as to if a small group of republicans in the house understand how high this cliff is. and how close we are to it. j. meanwhile, the president of the world bank says we just days away from it. this is a quote, a dangerous moment. urged lawmakers to find a way to end this crisis. the government will no longer with able to borrow and will have only an estimated $30 billion in cash left. that cash, will run out sometime between october 22nd and the end of the month. ben fills for social security, medicare, and veterans can be put on hold. by october 31st the government must pay $6 billion in debt interest or default. on november 1st, the 60 billion-dollars is due for benefit programs, no increase those payments could be delayed another

two weeks and on november 15th, another $29 billion in interest payments is due, as the economy slows and tax payments fall short, the default could happen. a live picture right now, lady liberty, reopened today after being closed for more than two weeks during the shut down. including rocky mountain national park, jim has more. >> in arizona the grand canyon is open once again. the state agreed to pay $650,000 to keep it going for the next week. i just refuse to detract tourists worldwide the opportunity to see this

magnificent landscape. >> it is money the obama administration says the state isn't likely to get back, but with thousands of jobs depend on and it and tourists that visit, it is a bargain they seem willing to make. where the state will spend about $15,000 each day, to keep mount rush moore open. here in colorado the tourists are already back, the nearest city to rocky mountain national park, relief and do businesses that depend on tourism. >> that's the draw, without the park, estes wouldn't be here. >> one monday ago, devastating floods closed most of the roads that come here. >> when i first heard that there is a possibility of the park opening up, it was hard to believe that it was too good to be true. to reopen the park, taxes will be he thousand dollar as day. some are more about symbolism.

>> that's why new york state taxpayers will pay 61,000-dollar as day to reopen the statute of liberty. will they use the dollars in order to open up the federal parks in their states? or miss out on the tourist dollars that could be flowing through natural attractions like this. >> and in washington park police had to bring in a small army to guard what is usually an unmanned lincoln memorial. the group say they are angry over the closure due to the government shut down. police escorted them away from the memorial. veterans will be marching demanding that more monuments be open. the march is set to take place at the world war ii memorial. almost 2,000 people are planning on attending.

sarah palin has also committed to joining the march. >> for years nobody knew who baby hope was or who killed her. more than 20 years later answer to both of those questions emerge in this cold case. and a gun show welcome as special visitor who herself was a shooting victim.

walk off the job theo november agreement is reached by monday. three months ago they did just that, and that five day strike was for thousands of commuters. >> the electronic benefit

card stop working saturday morning because of a glitch in the system. the program is run by xerox, the company says the problem has been fixed and blames the outage on maintenance procedures. the circumstance does has long been one of the most popular forms for russia. many are struggling to survive economically, while addressing allegations of animal cruelty. more now from al jazeera and we want to warn you some of these images are pretty disturbing. >> that's a lot more than the average. the circus still holds a special place in the heart of the people here. traditionally the circus in russia has always been

revered as an art form, much like the ballet, and it dates back to the time of caspian the great. in the 18th century. >> it was in the soviet time that it reach its peek, the artists were getting the same sort of perks. and the performances were being watched by more than 17 million people a year. these days they still say it has an important role. a big family occasion, children love it. >> it is our prize, it is a level of professionalism unmatched by any other. >> animal rights about vests have condemned the brutal methods. they say they are never used and wouldn't work. >> they say we torture animals, it is absurd, it

is impossible to force an animal to perform using violence. >> there is no doubt a circumstance cud crowd always hopes something dangerous will happen. unfortunately it did for these performers in the middle of their static double trap pose act. but no serious injuries resulted. spain -- america, hollywood. in russia it is very survival is now handing in the balance. al jazeera, moscow. >> that will be the first major marathon since the bombing in boston, a first hand look at the effort to keep the race in chicago safe. the boston red sox faced five detroit tigers and they were inept against all of them, we will show you what happened to the sox moving fast later in sports.

[[voiceover]] no doubt about it, innovation changes our lives. opening doors ... opening possibilities. taking the impossible from lab ... to life. on techknow, our scientists bring you a sneak-peak of the future, and take you behind the scenes at our evolving world. techknow - ideas, invention, life.

leaders are now leading the negotiation to end the government impasse. and republican mitch mcconnell met saturday to begin preliminary talks. the million vet march is set to take place at the word war two memorial, the same place last week ignored barricades to gain access to the site. more than 2,000 people are planning on attending. a beating from a massive storm, it is just started to be assessed along the uncan's earn coastline. bauer outages and impanel roads in the remote location are all makes it very difficult to know how much damage it has caused. the cyclone weakened before making land fall,

but was still four times the size of hurricane katrina. now these are here, you can see the first pictures of the damage and construction. the extent of the damage is not fully known, and the reports are conflicting but as al jazeera can tell you, we have confirmed at least three people are dead. that number is expected to go up. >> soy clone phailin with wind speeds at 1 point of 300-kilometers per hour, matched into india's coast? the early hours of saturday. authorities have already successfully evacuated 800,000 people, most inland shelters away from traditional huts and small communities. as the storm hit land, it slows considerably. >> at this time, the wind speed is 40 to 50-kilometers an hour. this will decrease to

30-kilometers per hour, then choppers can be called in to carry out rescue operations. >> early effort rocky mountains suggests there won't be too many to rescue, with a death toll in single figures. trees are uprooted and officials remained confident that advance preparations and evacuations had saved hundreds of lives. but it's still pouring down in many areas. >> it is of the range ten to 20-centimeters. is at many places, and isolated extremely heavy rainfall has also been reported to stations. >> damage to agriculture was also down played and, whos were quickly on the scene clearing and cutting fallen trees and opening roads. officials say they have learn add lot of lessons

since 1999, and the cyclone killed more than 10,000 people. lessons that appeared to have paid off. al jazeera. >> and the more remote areas that took the brunt of the storm are known for growing rice, fruit, and other produce. let's braining in our meteorologist. >> good morning, rachelle. just 12 hours ago we had three massive storms, coming across the eastern half of the world. we saw in the bay of bengal, and we also had wipa and nari. which is just south of japan, this is an amazing image that we are looking at here. pushing across the water also a significant risk to human life. we will continue to track this which is in the center of the screen.

on the home front, we will continue to track a storm pushing into the pacific northwest. we are also looking at snow to michael across northern portions of nevada as we track into the later portion of the afternoon, at the coastline, it's dry right now along, i 95, but it is a cooler te'o all. of south dakota, they said a cooler day overall, 58 in seattle here today. warmer once you push your way into northern. heavy rain as we speak, in austin, a strong thunderstorm is pushing through. a lot of moisture coming in out of the pacific, and we do have a tropical

storm there, in the pacific that will bring heavy rain to the baha portion of california, that is going to continue to intensity those storms across texas later in the day. in the mid atlantic, not much has changed the rain has really dissipated but we are still looking at scatters showers here from baltimore, into washington, d.c. in the northeast, really across new york state, into pennsylvania a beautiful day, we do have broken clouds across new york city, and we are going to see as much of that across portions of new england, we have a look from the roof and you can see across it will be a beautiful day. now that the clouds are breaking and i think by the end of the day, we will see a great deal of sunshine, back to you. >> thank you very much. a new adult skill survey conducted by the organization of economic cooperation and development reveals some pretty alarming news. young adults in the u.s.,

16 to 24 years old, are not keeping up with their counter parts in other part oz if world. the result of the survey senior policy analyst with the new america foundation, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> so let's talk about this study, it -- broke it down in two major categories basically literacy and math, how would you characterize the findings? >> i'd say the headline is not good news. the headline is that the united states is falling behind in the global race for skills and for talent, and we came below average came in below average on both assessments our young adults in particular are not keeping up. and that's very concerning. >> i think in particular, way know that the jobs of the future will require more math skills and

sophisticating skills than the jobs that are in our economy right now. if you compare how our youngest adults did, they are almost at the same level. and then they are not comparing well internationally. so we have some talent issues heredes we need to focus on that. >> is there a point in which it is more level across the world and then we start to fall behind? if so, what accounts for is that. >> well, if you look at our population in terms of individuals that go to college, they compare pretty well internationally. it is when you look at the group of americans and it is a launch group, who are very low skilled and these are folks that didn't make it through college, or didn't make it into college, and that's where we really see our scores getting pulled down, is in those low skilled adults. >> how do you see the

consequences of this playing out? first of all, investments in early education really pays off. that really high performers, japan, finland, and drea make big investments in early education. it also shows that college really paid off. so we are always debating whether it's worth it to go to college, this is just another data point to say that it does. so from a policy standpoint, we need to focus on getting kids into college and through college. but also tells us that we have a lot of americans that lack basic skills and we need to address that. but there's some good fluid there. of those 36 million americans that have very low reading math skills many of them are young, and the majority of them are working.

so we have a way to engage with them, we have a lot of research that tells us that people learn best when they learn at the workplace. and so we have a reel opportunity there to get a big economic -- a big educational bump by engaging with a very low skilled americans. >> so perhaps once possible part of the solution is adults getting additional education? >> absolutely. it absolutely is. and a lot of condos this very well. they do it better than we do of our investments in adult education are pretty small when you look at them compares to other countries and in particular, what other countries to well, that we could learn more from is getting employers involved in that equation. adults learn best in relation to work. so the more that we can get some public private partner ships going, where our employers get involved and everybody works on skilling up these folks with basic skills we all win. >> i heard someone say the other day, education is wasted on the youth,

you appreciate it so much more when you are older. >> something to that. >> right. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> all right, 45,000 runners will hit the streets of chicago in just about an hour. races the fist major marathon since the boston bombing attack. orbingers have beefed up security. as well as the estimated 1.7 million spectators. >> police here are on heightened alert. >> we will have eyes on the ground on every foot of the rout, packages and suspicious behavior will be addressed. >> it comes in the wake of the boston marathon bombing in which three people died and more than 200 were injuries. >> securing the 26-mile

rout through some 29 chicago neighborhoods is undoubtedly a major challenge. especially since the marathon expects to draw 1.7 million spectators. transform urban roadway like you see here behind us, into what is the marathon course. so that transformation, and the corner stone is security. >> still corner stoners have tightened secure measures. this year, people will no longer be allowed to pick up bid packets and these issues are the only bags permitted inside the perimeter on race day.

four security check points will give access inside the park. ex-where mobile units like this one will monitor the race. >> we will do our job, so everyone can enjoy and it have a great start. as a group, an entire city, and an entire country, and an entire world coming together to say we won't be deters. >> all precautions for what is the second largest marathon in the world, and the first major marathon since boston. >> all right, mike morgan is here with sports now. a lot of great pitches and swinging. but boston red sox are the highest scoring team in the majors. eight hung 53 runs that's just over five rungs a game. that offensive prowess

still nowhere to be seen last night in game one of the alcs against the tigers. annabel sanchez, that man was in control, first inning he strikes out a record tying four batters how does he strike out four? tell first base on a wild pitch, so he was able to strike out an early batter. still score less. matching zeros with sanchez, up to that point, but that's what johnny singled to center which will then score miguel cabrera, tigers up 1-0. sanchez still hasn't given up a hit but he has five. stephen drew will go down swinging. no was the no hitter still intact, jim leland goes to his bull ben. joaquim benoit strikes out. but daniel at the dish, oh, is that a player?

yeah, exactly we call that a blooper. now the tying run is on first. runner on secondu tigers win it 1-0, detroit pitchers 17 batters. more from b town. >> there's a saying in baseball, good pitching will all be good hitting. that was the case tonight, in game one. annabel sanchez was lights out. kept that in intact until the 9th inning. when they got the one and only base hit. but that was it. i felt like a hockey goalie back there, it was so nasty, we stayed

unpredictable, a little eradek as it was, not following any patterns and i think that's one thing that kept them off ball ambulance. >> the last dime that the red sox were shut out, in the post season, back in 1918 against the cubs. boston looks to bounce back, against the start against detroit's matt -- thank you so much. now a pitcher's duel in game two as well. dodgers and cardinals squaring off 15 hours after they went 13 the night before. let's begin the bottom of the fifth. now he will rip this one to the left. ball scoops around a bit, and that allows him to go into second, with a stand up double. looks like they are in business, later in the inning, kershaw with the pitch, gets by mark

ellis, freeze advanced to third, and runs in a place like that, loom large. know with breeze in scoring position, a shallow slide to left, dissqueezed free tagged and scampers in. the cards take a 1-0 lead. now, top of the six, home team is in trouble. rookie pitcher swinging throughout number two, all four times he batted yesterday. juan uribe up next. and he is pumped. he fights his way out, striking out. he struck out eight and six and two-thirds. we move on, cig 1-0, trevor is in to close the deal and he does. striking out the side, and the cardinals win 1-0 and the dodgers have now gone 19 straight scoreless innings in this nlcs. turning now to college football. none bigger than what took place in salt lake city. utah hosting number five

stanford, third and 17, watch wilson, looking for an open man, where is anderson? there he is. 51 yards later we are tied at 14. first and goal. a little trickery, 21-14 utah a late field goal, excuse me, a late stand, major hit 27-21 your final. the missouri tigers in between, pulled off the upset. 41-26, that ended the streak of 16 straight, and gives the tigers their first road win over a top 10 team. twenty-fifth ranked tigers 6-0 overall, and 2-0 in the south eastern conference. and yet another busy day on tap. sundays are big, right? the marqwe match up, the five saints facing the 4-1 patriots in foxborough, that's a wrap in the morning sports. >> i'm sure you forgot to

mention that baylor is undefeated. >> let me go back and research this. >> all right, thank you. well the writing is on the wall, or perhaps the typewriter for women in one african country, why this low tech community is being thrust into the digital world. plus, david verses the goliath, what mexico is doing to prevent the giant super markets from taking other local mom and pop shops.

on august 20th,

super market giants like wal-mart have been frying to expand to the few places where they don't have a presence. it is the largest market in the word, covering more than 300. >> every week, hotel owner comes here known to stock up on fresh groceries to serve his guests.

he shops here instead of a up soar market for one reason. >> in the neighborhood i live, i pay up to four times what i pay here, so i save a lot. >> the central market has more than 300 neighborhood markets across the city, about half of all feed purchases are made here. markets have been central for the economic life for centuries dating back long before the spanish even came here. in which we see a traditional scene from an ancient market. was according to mexico city, these markets are under threat from national and international chains that are popping up across mexico. now the city is trying to come up with over ways to restrict the chains. making sure these

continue to thrive, is a way to protect the social dynamic in the cities. >> the super market association wouldn't speak to us but has said the city is trying to block the creation of new businesses. many have a sentimental connection to the markets they grew up with. >> mexico city wouldn't be the sate without these. i don't ever want them to disappear. >> while the city struggling to limit the growth, it is the current sluggish economy that actually led to a slow down in store construction. for now, it is the old, mas that still attract the most business. the city hopes they will continue to do that for decades to come. it was a two deck aid old case that ripped america, and now baby hope, the case, has been solved. police arrested him on

saturday. in 1991 the abused and decomposed body was found inside a cooler near a new york city highway. for more than 20 yearns one knew who she was, who her family was, or who killed her. former arizona congressman is said to be at gun show today in upstate new york. they are praising organizers for bringing to a background check code of conduct. the visit comes at the couple campaigns for a federal law mandating checks at every gun show across the country. the rwanda government is giving a group of women computer classes to replace the current occupation, typewriting. >> she doesn't know when

it was built, only knows that it is older than she is, and she is 35. in h the second hand back in 1995, and she has been here with the two friends in the side street ever since. they are the last of the street typists. used to be a clatterring rank of almost a dozen here, internet cafes have taken most of the business, but there are still enough people willing to pay 50 present as page for job applications business correspondents and even love letters. >> i use this typewriter because they know how to write it quickly, if i had to do it myself, i wouldn't do it well. >> but they know their days are numbers. may only have to look to their neighbor to see that, which is why the

government is sending them on a course of technology. >> i'm effected by it and i am looking forward to the day i get a computer. i am lucky to get those skills once i graduate i can give up these old machines. >> of course, in the age of the internet and the smart phone, this is a dying art, but there's still plenty of people that bring their documents here, because they believe that somehow the old fashion look makes the letters more persuasive. the cross town the keyboard is the only thing that is familiar. none of them have works with computers until a month and a half ago, now they are developing skills in the program to drag rwanda into the digital age. this isn't just about career development, this is about survival.

>> well, recycling turns out may not have been a 20th century phenomenon after all. archaeologies think caveman may have been the first to adopt the green lifestyle over million years ago. they recycled the objects they used in their daily lives creating new utensils from broken tools. those would then be reused for hunting. thank you so much for your time, you can always go to our website as well, much more news after the break, someday here. it's a part of the country that often gets overlooked. but there are a lot of

fascinating people there, a lot of fascinating stories there. i like that al jazeera will pay attention to those kinds of places. what drew me to journalism is i like the idea that we are documenting history. al jazeera documents it like none other. and to be a journalist, and to be part of a team like that? that's an incredible blessing. on inside story, we bring together unexpected voices closest to the story, invite hard-hitting debate and desenting views and always explore issues relevant to you.

>> this is al jazeera. join us for the al jazeera nice hour. these are the stories we are covering in detail. in the next 60 minutes at least 64 people died in a stampede. clearing up after cyclone phailin, hundreds of thousands escaped the storm, but their homes and land are devastated. claims of torture in syria's jail, the horrific stories of men that say they are the victims o
