early this morning. >> we'll begin reopening our government immediately. >> some 800,000 federal workers furloughed since october 1 will be back on the job today, after going over two weeks without pay. wednesday night, the senate voted 81-18, followed later by the house, 285-144 to fund the federal government until january 15th. as for the debt ceiling, both houses voted to increase it until february 7th, allowing the government to keep paying its bills. for now, the new measures insured one thing, a new fight with potentially the same consequences months away. >> we've got to get out of the habit of governing by crisis. >> it was a deal hammered out by the senate, led by majority reader harry reid and minorly leader mitch mcconnell. the agreement was not without loud voices of opposition. this is a terrible deal today,

but it's a terrible deal for the american people. >> we're going to stop the number one job killer in this country that is obamacare. >> republicans were unable to stop the president's signature health legislation, which started with a strong push by republicans to target the affordable care act resulted in a retreat as obamacare remains virtually unscathed, the only amend, a tightening rule for those seeking new health exchanges. the beginning of the week was tumult with us. republicans took a beating in public beating polls. the fitch agency took a step toward cutting the rating. the shutdown took a $24 billion bite out of the american economy. >> this is pain inflicted on our nation for no good reason and cannot make, you cannot make the

same mistake again. >> this is far less than many of us had hoped for, frankly, but far better than what some had sought. >> with no claims of victory, a new countdown begins toward january 14, the first potential deadline for yet another government shut down. on friday, president obama was animate this won't happen again. >> is this going to happen all over again in a few months? >> no. >> california's yosemite national park opened immediately after the vote. >> paul is in washington. beautiful to see yosemite open again. this deal makes for good headlines in the papers, but in reality, just delays the debate to a later date. i almost shudder to think, but we will we see a repeat performance in a couple of

months? >> it's a sequel to a movie that nobody wants to see again, especially the republican party which took such a beating in the polls and really surrendered unconditionally and is retreating in disarray. what will this new by part 10 budget committee come up with before the deadline? will they avert a future crisis and shutdown? there are so many questions this morning, but relief that for now, the crisis is over. >> this has to be a hard pill for the republican party to follow. this whole fight banked on defunding the affordable care act. what now? >> ted cruz who led the fight against the express wishes of leaders jake john mccain and lindsey graham who said look, this is not going to work, we are going to lose.

they were saying that from the beginning, that going up against obama care was a mistake. we had email from groups like heritage action, threat thatting consequences for the next election. a lot of republicans wondering about their own futures and of course the future of their party. >> we are going to dig deeper with some guests into the political impact in a bit. but thank you, paul. the immediate creases was avoided by the debt deal, but the u.s. economy still took a big hit during the shut down. we are here with that part of the story. >> you have it right, the political stalemate cost the economy a staggering amount. standard and poors estimates $24 billion was lost, that's about $1.5 billion every day of that 16 day shutdown, including an estimated $76 million in lost revenue at national parks.

with parks and monuments closed, americans traveled less during the shutdown. the u.s. association of travel professionals says the economy missed out on $152 million each day in travel related spending. that's a staggering $2.4 billion lost during the shutdown on travel alone. the markets cheered the debt deal, but stock prices are negative this morning. that could jeopardize yesterday's big gains. overseas, european stocks are lower,ation shocks mixed, japan posting a gain, but hong kong down more than a half% and shanghai also losing ground. >> just a few minutes for the rest of this morning's business news. the asian markets were mixed over night. as we report from china, the big evident holder of u.s. debt, investors say the u.s. has too

much influence on the global economy and they want to change that. >> the chinese government expressed concern about the u.s. possibly defaulting on its debt, however did say they were quite confident that u.s. politicians wouldn't want to bear the responsibility of possibly throwing the world economy into chaos. having said that, chinese state media seen as the unofficial mouthpiece of the government said that this entire drama that played out in the u.s. should not be allowed anymore, meaning that one country should not have the power to hold the entire world hostage because of domestic. >> it needs to flesh out, chinese consulting for the deamericannization of the world. they are saying that the united states currency, the u.s. dollar should no longer be in that position, the implication that it's time for china to step up and take over this potential

vacuum. they say their currency is stable and at least the chinese government is a more functional one. >> reporting from china. >> the government deal has a pro vision for the workers who have been out of work to get back pay as soon as possible. >> in the pacific northwest, the logging industry is preparing for the next time. the shutdown forced loggers to stop working and now is asking a court to weigh in on the matter. we have more from portland. >> word went out to companies holding federal logging contracts, stop cutting. they could clean up any logs already felled, but that was it. the disruption in timber harvesting won't disappear just

because forest service and bureau of land management workers get back to their jobs. it will take days or weeks to get back into the woods and working at preshutdown levels. >> short term, we've had people disconnected from their jobs. they've had to get away from federal contracts, look for work elsewhere. they've mad mobilization costs to move equipment out of the woods back to other jobs. we had a disruption in the flow of timber. >> they claim the federal government had no right to change contracts already signed. the industry wants legal clarification for everybody involved. >> this is a first. that's why this lawsuit that we're bringing is so important, in my opinion, is to get a ruling on this. we'll have other shutdowns in the future, but we need to set this kind of policy and some kind of direction for both these federal agencies, forest service and d.l.m., how you're going to

handle contracts going into the future should you have a shutdown. >> the forest industry says october and november are two of its most important months for logging. >> in new jersey, newark mayor cory booker will be senator booker. the popular democratic defeated tea party republican in the special election. he takes the seat left vacant by the late senator. he address the supporters, speaking about his passion to unify the american people. >> i'm going to washington to join the senator menendez to stand at the position of others. i'm going down to make accessible for all of us. i will bring more point to the voices too often ignored in our state. i will be dogged, relentless in my sense of service for all of

the people of new jersey. if you voted for me, i will make you proud. if you didn't. [ cheers and applause ] >> if you didn't vote for me. i will work every single day to earn your trust. >> the 44-year-old booker is the first african-american elected to the senate in new jersey's history. >> it is the coldest morning of the season for parts of the southern plains. for more on the morning national forecast, let's bring in meteorologist nicole mitchell. >> definitely sweater whether in a couple of places around the country. what we have going on is we already had one front move through. that's going to cause scattered showers, pretty light. we have another front coming through the midwest. that's going to drop the temperatures that had already dropped even further. it's going to be a big can frost over the next couple of days. take a closer look to temperatures we're seeing this morning. upper parts of the midwest, 30's and 40's. we had some of our colder air,

places like garden city kansas, this morning, seeing temperatures around 29 degrees. below that freezing level in some cases. for this region, we have frost and freeze advisories that you get early in the season if you still have plants outdoors or something to half vest, it's a dangerous morning for tender vegetation. you can see that throughout kansas, oklahoma and texas. temperatures are going to be dropping the next couple of days. kansas city and omaha, we do get up to 61. we can see behind this, though, temperatures already in the 40's. denver at 52, well, as we get into the overnight temperatures, those are below freezing, so rain could switch to our first taste of snow for the mistaken. these 50's and 60's drop. kansas city, that's a bad day to point. that will be 50 degrees tomorrow. you'll certainly people the change. back to you. >> thank you. >> chemical weapons inspectors in syria making headway as the

violence rages on, the new attempt being made to end the countries civil war, as opposition forces become even more divided. >> a massive earthquake rocks the philippines. the country tries to recover and restore its tourist industry. >> this is not one nation under god. it never was. >> the woman who was forcibly removed from the house floor during an unexpected meltdown.

>> chemical weapons inspectors in syria say they've checked 11 sites so far and destroyed critical equipment at six of them. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has made significant progress since arriving in syria earlier this month. they need to complete the first round by that the end of october. according to the ocpw, syria is believed to have a thousand metric tons of blistering nerve gas agents.

we have more from turkey now. the weapons inspectors have clearly been moving quickly. they have more than 20 sites to visit, and extensive work to be done at each one. does it look like they'll make the deadline? >> well, according to a spokesperson for the opcw says they are on track an believe they are halfway through the first phase. now the spokesperson went on to say that after november 1, syria will no longer have the compassty to manufacture chemical weapons, or mix chemical agents, or load ammunition with chemical weapons, so clearly they are confident that they are doing their job and they are doing it pretty quickly. >> meanwhile, this morning, it was just announced new details with this geneva two piece conference plant. what are the prospects of that

meeting? >> >> according to a u.n. source telling aljazeera that the working dates for the geneva conference are approximately on the 22 and 23 of november, however, it's not confirmed that those dates are exact. now, on a separate news related to the geneva conference, the syria foreign minister said that they had talks with the russian foreign ministry officials, as well as the u.n. and agreed on a presumed date. he was speaking at a news conference that he was asked by a reporter if he meant the 23 and 24 of november. he said yes, about almost that date. it's not confirmed, but we think it will be around those dates. >> what are the prospects for

that meeting, given how fractured the opposition has become within syria? >> well, when you. he to the senior members of the city in opposition and the wider big opposition umbrella called the syrian national coalition, they threatened some of the main blocks in that opposition have threatened that if the coalition goes to geneva two conference, they will simply walk away. now the snc as a general had made preconditions that this conference, for them to attend this conference, they need guarantees that the syrian president and his regime will leave syria and will leave and want guarantees that only a transitional government is discussed and agreed on. they made it clear they will not attend. and you say mentioned, there is huge divisions within the syrian

opposition and of course there is a huge regional and international pressure on the syrian opposition. >> and the civil war of course continues. reporting from the border with syria, thank you. >> the death toll in the philippines is 144. the 7.2 magnitude quake injured hundreds and left widespread damage in its wake. one city that release heavily on tourism is trying to recover. >> everywhere, signs of the city getting back to work and the streets coming back to life. many offices and shopping malls remain closed while the full extent of damage is assessed. with the peak tourism season starting, no sign of visitors here, but an optimistic position that it might add a bonus to the

holiday tourist package. >> tourists would even want to see what's happened, so all of this can be an attraction. >> for most filipino visitor from the president down, the damaged buildings are more a reminder of their countries suseptibility to natural disasters. >> there have been so many prior in the past. >> while neighboring islands have count the cost in terms of lives lost, in this city, the impact is on people's livelihood in the heart land of the central philippines. >> for all the people, the same eternal questions in times of natural disaster, why us? rob mcbride, aljazeera, the philippines. >> a dozen or more churches, some centuries old were heavily damaged by that earthquake. >> it seemed the good mood on wall street has already

evaporated. we are here with the latest headlines. >> that mood was gone like that, stephanie. wall street likes certainty and traders didn't get that with this deal. the worry is that we'll have to go through this when the deal expires early next year. stock futures are lower at this hour, making yesterday's gains just a memory in a few hours. all three major industries soaring yesterday, the dow gaining 205 points, the nasdaq up 45 points. because of the she nan against in d.c., credit rating agency fitch warned it might downgrade the credit rating. the united states perfect triple-a rating may not last. >> we've been running on continuing resolutions for the last two years. if we bounce from one crisis to another, fitch's hands will be tied, and will have to go to a warning to a downgrade of u.s.

debt. >> expect volatility in the markets for a while to come, he says. >> amazon may be dialing into the smart phone business. the company is in talks to develop hand sets which would be sold to amazon prime customers, allowing taxes amazon's video service. amazon is still deciding whether to go forward on the process. >> we may see the first signs of how the stalemate is affecting the economy, shares in ebay dropping. what rattled investors is the cautious forecast of the crucial holiday season. ebay said the government shutdown hurt consumer confidence. >> back to this debt deal. if lawmakers pass a more long term deal next year, is fitch still planning to possibly downgrade? >> they say anything's possible. they'll make their final call in

march. by then, these two short term deals will have expired and get a sense of what the new normal in washington is. >> how do they come up with these readings? >> employment number, tax revenue, also a lot of tea leaf reading, gauging the psychology of lawmakers to find out what could happen next. >> or all of us trying to figure out the psychology of lawmakers. >> we talk about the world reaction with associate editor. was this 11th hour deal enough reassure global investors? >> no is the straight forward answer. all through this process, you

could see it as the most significant and dismal non-event that there's been. the market reaction, a cursory review now and over the last couple months is people not really caring. i think that would be a grave mistake. markets haven't necessarily gone anywhere net net because they don't quite know what else they could do to protect themselves, and they're certainly not confident that this deal has been or this issue has been settled once and for all. >> not to mention that it is a short term deal, so this might all come up again on february 7. in the meantime, did this do long term damage to the u.s. economy and u.s. prestige? >> well, i'm not sure it does, really, actually, because i think that there is no alternative for global investors apart from to have great faith in the u.s. economy. it's important to recognize that while the way these things might

have turned out and might yet turn out, there could be a technical default, but there's a difference between a technical default and actual default. it's highly unlikely that the u.s. is going to run out of money. while there might be anticipation in the world market, it is unlikely that that would lead to long term damage on a major scale. having said that, i've been thinking about this over the last couple of days in terms of there is a sort of if you like a lehman factor. remember they went bust five years ago. you know, people knewhat was going to happen, and they knew it would be quite a big deal, but they sort of let it happen and hopefully it would be all right. when lehman went bust, a whole bunch of stuff, which in hindsight is perfectly obvious but wast obvious thename to pass. i think that is the big fear about a u.s. default technical or otherwise, that it sets off a chain reaction which we don't

know quite how that would work, but might. that is the issue u.s. investors all over the globe should be worried about, if they're not. >> countries like chain in a, the big foreign debt holders don't have a lot of alternatives, but we heard a lot of sabre rattling from china about possibly deamericanizing the world economy. >> i think that fits in with two of the long term trends we you got to take from this which is there is greater competition from china and elsewhere. while i've said here in what is a complicated and confusing picture that i don't think there's any necessarily big reason to be especially worried. i think one of the other things that comes out here is that the u.s. is bar rowing a lot of money, probably too much, and while it would have been extremely foolish to push itself

into a default or into a problem because of the she nan against on capitol hill, it remains a long material problem that basically the u.s. is spending more than it is earning. >> robert coal, associate editor of reuters breaking news, thank you for being with us. >> dozens remain unaccounted for after a deadly typhoon in japan. the mistake the government made that could have saved lives. >> a wild outburst in the house during the vote on the debt deal. why you a congressional employee had to be forcibly removed.

>> the president by working with john boehner helped john boehner control an otherwise unruly caucus. that causes disruption and that means barack obama is not going to get stuff done in the second term. that's not good for his presidency. they need to get together and work together, because the american people are fed up with all of them. they talk about republican numbers. the president's approval rating that dropped substantially. democratic party numbers are one point off their low. we want all of them gone. it's in our best interest for them to work together. >> i think that's absolutely right. the structure of government is such that it favors the status quo, but even in this instance, the governing by incrementalism gets us nowhere.

there were all of these policy initiatives that have been off the table, immigration reform accounts among them. so as long as we're having this conversation, we still keep kicking the can down the road, we're only going to have this conversation again in another four months. a lot of these policy initiatives are off the table. it does have ramifications for the president's legacy and for the republicans, as well. because they're going to have the inability to go back to their constituents and talk about some of the progress that they've made. >> speaking of the president's legacy, there are issues with the affordable care act. it's becoming clear it is unpopular with the american people, out from with technical problems. the medical device tax is something asked to be changed. do you think the president should be open to negotiating on obamacare when these talks come up? >> i think you are absolutely right. there are a number of americans who believe there are problems with this bill.

to allude to something tom mentioned earlier, you don't governor by winning elections. if you want to make changes in legislation, do your job, actually go down there and legislate. i think that's kind of a loft art in congress right now. i do think that the fixes that can be made can be done through actual legislating those fix and working across the i'll. i think tom's absolutely right that the president does in many respects empower boehner when they actually work together and we can see that that's happened especially through this process. i talk one other thing, the fact that there were conversations with boehner early on, about $800 million in revenues, talked about simpson-bowles as ways to address some of these debt and spending issues. there have been opportunities where the president can work with congress, but it seems there are a number of folks in congress that actually just don't want to do anything on

substance, more on symbolism. >> it's refreshing to have two gentlemen have a civilized discussion from opposite sides of the aisle this morning. thank you both so much for joining us. >> as if the night needed anymore drama, a shouting stenographer had to be removed. she stepped up into the microphone and launched into a speech. >> this is not one nation under god. it never was. had it been, it would not have been -- >> it took a few seconds for congress members to turn their heads, her speech didn't last long. the video shows security grabbing her by the arms and dragging her off the floor. capitol police took her in war questioning after the outburst. >> one representative said she had been working in the house for only a few months. >> evacuations could have saved

lives after a typhoon hit. 18 were left dead and dozens more missing. rescuers digging through the debris from mud slides. 350 homes were damaged or destroyed. it was downgraded to a tropical storm last night. >> japan is keeping its eyes on another storm system. meteorologist nicole is here with the latest. >> it's amazing. we saw that system hid india with a vermin malloss of life because of phenomenal evacuations. you can see what a big difference evacuations make when we talk about the japan story. this region of the world, we are watching something else already. you can see very clearly starting to define an eye on this next system, but as it heads its way to the north, it looks like we are going to have a pattern that will steer it in that direction and over time, this will probably be the middle of next week, getting so what we

might even see as a major hurricane, kind of that intensely level headed right toward japan. they'll have something to watch again as we get toward next week and hopefully learning lessons from the last system pass by there. we have a front that's now into the east coast, a couple of showers with this, most of this is light rain, probably an inch or less, if you even see it, and then another boundary moving through the midwest with a reinforcing shot of cold air. we've cooled down in the midwest and it's going to be more of that over the next couple days. because we already have the cooler air has settled in in some places, kansas south ward into north texas, we have different frost advisories, because this is it is coldest air of the season so far. that's today. some temperatures into the 20's, a lot in the 30's or 40's. by tomorrow morning, temperatures will be cooler in a lot of cases. denver at 28 with the chance for moisture. we could see rain switch to a little snow by the time we start

off tomorrow morning. here's that moisture that i'm talking about, so you can see it's fairly hit and miss across the region, but still, you have chances for some of it over the next couple of days. in the meantime, also a line of showers heading into new york and northward, as we get into the northeast for today. back to you. >> the parents of a florida teenager accused of bullying a classmate so badly that she took her own life are speaking out. the 14-year-old faces charges after authorities say she bullied late teen rebecca sedwick. >> her mother said: >> rebecca killed herself on september 9 after months of on line harassment from her pierce. the 14-year-old was arrested on monday, along with a 12-year-old girl. authorities became suspicious after one of the girls posted on facebook that she had bud

rebecca. >> facebook is now allowing teens to share their post witness anyone on the internet. the change will affect users age 13-17. until now, their information and photos were only visible to their friends. a pop up will appear before each post, warning teens they will be sharing with the internet at large. facebook homes the new policy will keep it relative to teens as other sites like tumblr and snapshot gain popularity. now we have sports. >> managers do matter in major league baseball. legal land caught heat for roofing max scherzer, resulting in a five-run rally for the red sox. he looked like a genius but shaking up the batting order in game four. legal land got an assess from sox starter jake peavy.

the sacrificial lamb, give those guys behind me a get a good look. i tried to take as many pitches as i could, but he was throwing the ball in the zone and we were able to capitalize on some mistakes he made. >> how happy are you for austin? >> happy for him. earlier today, before b.p., he came in and worked on his approach, and he stayed back a little more. he saw he had four professional at-bats. two hits, two walks, that's awesome jackson. when he's on base, he wreaks havoc. >> to the meek, facing elimination, the dodgers sent greinke back to the mound. he loaded the bases before getting a single out. he got yadier molina to hit into a double play, ending the threat. greinke with the r.b.i. single on kelly to drive in approximate week and give the dodgers a 2-0 lead. after the cards rally, the dodgers bats exploded with four

solo home runs over the next six innings. it's their first four home runs of the series. adrian gonzalez, the dodgers hold on to win it 6-4 to force game six back in st. louis on friday. >> to football. lions defensive tackle ndamukong suh maybe a big man, but the nfl seems intent on proving its bigger, fining him for this hilt on browns quarterback. while he didn't make contact with the head or neck, he did make contact with the forehead airline, hence the fine. officials did not call a penalty on the play. since the lions drafted ndamukong suh, 340,000 has been fined. >> bulls star derrick rose is back at least in preseason action. for the first time in 19 months,

>> to see these being salvaged is just, it's, you know, brings me to tears almost. >> of a the floods in colorado, saving special memories one photo at a time. >> it had all the makessings of a global crisis and now has been averted after an 11th hour deal gets pushed through congress. the senate passing a bill to increase the debt limit and provide enough funding to end that 16 day government shutdown. the house reluctantly followed suit late last night and while many of you were sleeping, president obama quickly signed it into law. paul beban has the details from washington. >> without objection, a motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. >> 16 days into a partial government shutdown and the

nation on the brink of an unprecedented default in agreement, an agreement that president obama signed into law early this morning. >> we'll begin reopening our gough immediately. >> some 800,000 federal workers furloughed since october 1 will be back on the job today after going over two weeks without pay. wednesday night, the senate voted 81-18, followed later by the house 285-144 to fund the federal government until january 15. as for the debt ceiling, both house was congress voted to increase it until february 7, allowing the government to keep borrowing money and keep paying its bills. for now, the new measures have insured one thing, a new fight with potentially the same consequences only months away. >> we've got to get out of the habit of governing by crisis. >> it was hammered out by the senate, ending the crisis with

no members of the congress blocking or delaying the vote. the agreement was not without loud voices of opposition. >> this is a terrible deal today, but it's a terrible deal for the american people. >> we're going to stop the number one job killer in this country that is obamacare. >> but republicans were unable to stop the president's signature health legislation, which started as a strong push to target the affordable care act, resulting in a retreat, it's only amendment, a slight tightening of income verification rules for those seeking new health insurance exchanges. while markets soared ahead of the agreement, the beginning of the week was a tumultuous one. the fitch credit ratings agency took a step toward cutting the u.s. government's triple-a deteriorating and standard & poor's issued a report saying the shutdown took a $24 billion bite out of the american economy. >> this is pain inflicted on our

nation for no good reason, and cannot make, cannot, cannot make the same mistake again. >> this is far less than many of us had hoped for, frankly, but it's far better than what some had sought. >> with no claims of victory by either side, a new countdown begins toward january 15, the first potential deadline for yet another government shutdown. on wednesday, president obama was animate this won't happen again. >> do you think this is going to happen all over again in a few months? >> no. >> for now, that fight will wait, as the first sign that the government was back in business came from california's yosemite national park, which opened immediately after the vote. >> paul beban is in washington with the very latest on the government averted crisis and paul, this deal makes for good headlines in today's papers, but in real estate, it is just delaying what some say is a debate that is going to happen a few months from now.

are we set to see a repeat performance of what we just went through, come january? >> well, good morning, dell. of course, that is the question on everyone's minds really here in washington, across the country and around the world is just the prequel to a movie we're going to see again in a few months. will democrats and republicans actually be able to sort out questions that they really have just kicked down the road for a few weeks really when you look at the time line between now and early john. after a brutal battle that really had everyone on pins and needles for more than two weeks, we could be set to see it all over again. >> paul, this has got to be a hard pill for republicans to swallow. a small group of hard core conservatives, tying their fatal to the feet of the affordable care act and then it backfired big time, so now what? >> that's right. well, ted cruz and others vowing that the fight against obamacare is not over, that they're going to keep trying to reform the law

on the books, many rules coming into play, many of the changes it promised already coming into effect. the question what can they really do, is this continuing political theater. a lot of conservative action groups threatening that there will be repercussions for any republicans who went along with this deal, so a lot of questions for the represent party as it really retreats in disarray after an unconditional surrender here. what the future holds for them, we'll to have wait and see. >> paul, thank you very much. >> the immediate crisis was avoided, but the economy still took a big hit during the shutdown. the political stalemate is costing the u.s. economy a staggering amount of money. standard and poors estimates $24 billion was lost, $1.5 billion each day of the shutdown. that includes an estimated $76 million a day which was lost revenue from national parks

closed. that adds up to $1.2 billion with all the parks and monuments being closed. as a result, americans traveled less. the u.s. travel association says the economy missed out on $152 million each day in travel related spending, a staggering $2.4 billion lost during the shutdown on travel alone. >> john terry joins us live from the new york stock exchange. the dow soared 205 points yesterday. what signal was it sending to washington? >> i think it was not the signal people think it was. it looked fantastic on the tapes at 4:00 jed afternoon here in new york, 205 points up, a real volt of confidence, but no, i was talking to market makers here make it clear that was a signal going from wall street to washington, d.c. saying look, we're on to you guys. we know what you're up to. we ignored you completely this time around. the markets did not fall through

the floor, even though there was potential financial armageddon looming. they said this is where you should have been two weeks ago, if not two months ago. it wasn't a celebratory rally. it was because we could well be back here in the middle of january, and i think it's becoming clear now to the world and to people on wall street that the biggest threat to the u.s. economy at the moment potentially and this is a terrible thing to say is elected representatives in washington, d.c., if they can't get this short termism out of the way. >> now the shutdown is over, the data starting to flow. what affect will that have on the market? >> better to be in the green than the red. today, i expect the market to fall a little bit. one of the reasons for that is we are now going to get economic data of public data that has

been withheld. the jobs data for october, now, that was postponed. i know that they're collecting fresh november data now, doing it last week. i don't know if they're going to publish the october dates or it may be lost forever and they'll just come up with a november figure. when you're in very sensitive economic times, which we are, you really need that date the. people here live and breathe that data. when they don't get it, it makes them unhappy, so the markets could be down based on this data that will now come at them, dell. >> congress the biggest threat to the economy. john, thank you very much. >> for more on the impact on the financial markets, we are joined by drew mattis in new york this morning. as news of the debt deal hit, the dow surged but now the futures are down. why isn't the bounce continuing? >> i think your last person said

it right, which is that the markets didn't fall for it this time. you didn't see the giant tell off, tarp vote selloffs that people were anticipating, so you didn't get a giant bounce on the measure. now the markets can focus on what do all the data look like that were delayed, are they going to show that the u.s. economy is improving or show weakening. >> the asian markets are lower this morning and in europe, the markets there broke a five day winning streak. why? >> well, you know, i really don't think it's related to the u.s. at all in those cases. i think what, you know, if you look at everything going on in the world, there are sign was weakness in the economies, most of the central banks in the world have their pedal pushed full lip to the floor, so there's not a lot of give there. if there's another problem, there's not a safety net anymore. i think markets are just responding to the fact that the data seems like it's moving back and forth almost on a agreeable

basis, a kind of start-stop to the economic data. that's probably making people nervous at this point. >> how much did this affect the treasury bills? are treasury bonds still an attractive alternative for investors? >> there's talk about a debt downgrade. if it did, it would become the new standard, whatever the treasury market was downgraded to. treasury bills are reacting the way they were because there's technical features in the sufficient bond market related to how firms finance their purchases of service -- of bonds. firms don't always have the money to buy all the bonds they need to buy in order to keep the inventory to sell. if you thought of it like a department store, sometimes you borrow clothing and then sell it later and somehow you to have finance that in between. if you weren't sure you were ever going to sell it or if there was going to be a problem with that merchandise one might shy away with it. people are just shying away from

something that might not get delivered on time or the interest payment delayed by a few days. they thought there are all these other issues out there. why would you possibly buy that one when i can buy the other a week after that or the week after that. >> everybody seems to agree we could be going right back at this again in a few months. has the market factored in another fight? >> i don't think anyone's anticipating a fight like what we just saw. a., i think republicans have learned that if you're going to do this fight one really have to be prepared to try to win it. i think in the end, they caved in, i think would be the way they would look at it. secondly, i think the white house probably understands that if it does go that far again, maybe republicans will take it to its full measure, creating problems for everyone. a lot of the changes that will take place after the government reopens, a lot of the things that the treasury was doing to avoid hitting the debt ceiling,

all those measures will get reversed, which means that then they can be used again in february. the real drop in that date is probably july. >> thank you very much for joining us live from new york this morning. >> in new jersey, newark mayor is going to have another title, senator. booker takes the seat that was left vacant in july by the late senator laughtenberg. he spoke about his passion to reunify the american people. >> just know i'm going to washington to join with senator menendez, to stand in the tradition of others, like bill bradley and frank laughtenberg.

i will be unfaltering in my sense of service for all of new jersey. if you voted for me, i will make you proud. >> booker, who is 44 years old is the first african-american elected to the senate in new jersey's history. >> in japan, search for survivors continues after another typhoon hits the country's easementern coast, leaving 19 people dead, dozens more missing. rescuers were digging through debris. more than thee hundred 50 homes were either damaged or destroyed. there is potential for another storm being watched closely in japan. we turn to nicole mitchell. >> that typhoon is a good example of how much difference an vacation plan can make. japan didn't do a lot of evacuating, saying they should have probably done a better job with that storm. there was a loss of life that was probably greater than it

needed to be. in india, a direct hit in an area that has lost over 10,000 in the last big storm like that. they evacuated a million people, which led to the reduction. it is important to evacuate properly when these storms strike and move into the area. right now, watching for japan, this is typhoon francisco. the steering current is eventually going toward japan again, possibly into the middle of next week. i'm sure any plan will be very seriously executed if this disaster that after what we just saw. you can see the eye developing, a sign of intensification and organization of that system. as we get back to the united states, we've had a 1-2 punch, one cold front more into the east coast, another moving through the midwest, reinforcing shot of cold air for both regions. we already have frost adviceries. tomorrow morning could be even

chillier. twenty's and 30's for the blue areas of kansas down into texas, this morning, more of the region will see that he is 20s and 30's as we get into the day tomorrow and some cold temperatures, as well. we'll look at the temperatures coming up. >> the head of the n.s.a. making a surprise announcement about his future as new documents emerge about the agencies involvement with the u.s. drone program. >> turning a negative into a positive. grenades once weapons of war now repurposed for peace. >> facebook lifting restrictions for teenage users with that what are the new privacy and safety concerns? >> the rise in mortgage rates is leading to more layoffs. i'll have details of the latest bank telling people you don't have a job anymore. for instance, could striking workers in greece delay your retirement? i'm here to make the connections to your money real.

washington post by edward snowden, the paper alleges in 2012, it was used in pakistan president nsa director georgeal exearned is stepping down. intelligence agency says the retirement has nothing to do with recent leaks from edward snowden. >> syria's prime minister said the conference aimed at bringing the government and opposition forces together is going to take place this month. his announcement comes as chemical weapons inspectors in syria say they are making progress. the team from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has inspected 11 sites so far and have destroyed critical equipment as six sites. we are in turkey near the syrian

border. >> the chemical watchdog is halfway through phase one and everything is on track. it praised the cooperation given by the syrian government and the spokesperson for the watchdog did say that after november 1, syria will no longer have the ability and capacity to manufacture chemical weapons or mix chemical agents or load ammunition with chemical weapons. on another development, a u.n. source told aljazeera that the working dates to hold the geneva conference over syria will be on november 22 or 23. those are approximate dates, however they are not confirmed. another news coming from moscow, the syrian deputy prime minister said in a news conference that they have agreed with russian

officials and also with some u.n. officials that the dates for the geneva two conference will be around 22 or -- between the 22nd or 24th of november. >> that is coming to us from turkey. there's a new spy scandal involving turkey, israel and iran, the washington post saying turkey blew the cover of an israeli spy ring last year, giving intelligence the identities of up to 10 spice for israel. it is a significant intelligence loss for israel. >> the group peace now says more than 1700 homes have been built in occupied lands this month alone, leading to clashes between forces in the west bank. now, some symbols of that violence are used for more

creative purposes. we have the story. >> she knows all about overcoming grief. her son was killed during the peaceful protest against the nearby israeli separation wall. now her village has honored him with this very unusual garden. planting flowers inside empty tear gas grenades. >> i hope he'll always be surrounded by flowers and greenery. >> her daughter died after inhaling tear gas. her son was killed right here, after being hit in the chest by a tear gas canister. his death captured on camera. >> i feel he is around me. i feel he is watering the plants

when i do. i'm sad, because i lost two of my children. >> people pay respects. the non-violent protests here on the outskirts have been gag on for eight years. villagers hope with the garden, children like these will remember others who have given their lives to the struggle. >> our message to the israeli occupation and those who support it is that we are transforming canisters of death into canisters of life with flowers. >> a simple message, but one they hope will take root elsewhere, too. aljazeera, in the occupied west bank. >> those weekly protests in the town can draw as many as 250 people. >> it took 300 firefighters to put out a raging fire in thigh hand at a shopping center. more than 1,000 people were inside the store when the fire broke out. it's not clear what started the fire. so far, this have been reports of no casualties.

>> wall street seems to be reconsidering its feelings on the debt bill. i guess you might want to call it buyer's remorse. >> those considerations will be felt on wall street today. the markets cheered the debt deal yesterday, but those good feelings could be disappearing, stock futures lowered all morning. we may not see a repeat of yesterday's rally. the reaction to the debt deal muted overseas, european stocks mostly lower, asian stocks mixed. nikkei posting a solid game. chin in a and china shanghai losing ground. we can expect the markets to be choppy in the coming weeks. >> remember, we're basically at all time highs on several of the

major market indexes, all trading at or near all time highs. that's heading into an environment with a less than stellar earning report season. the news could be choppy over the next couple of weeks. i certainly think volatility is going to be the norm, not the exception. >> credit ratings agency fitch repeated the warning that america's credit rating is on negative watch. >> shifting to corporate news, lockheed martin announced layoffs, saying it will get go of 600 workers. they say it was not linked to the partial government shutdown, but the company has been regularly trimming its payroll as government spending declines. another big bank is cutting jobs because of higher mortgage rates, sun trust laying off workers because of a drop off in refinancing activities.

others have cut jobs as rates have risen. >> there is never a good time, but we're heading into the holiday season. how much time do these employees have left? >> a few months. sun trust, they want to reduce expenses to boost profits, so hopefully they can make the best of the time they have left. >> is it refinancing activity? >> house prices are rising, closing prices are rising, pushing the price town. >> facebook, now allowing teens to share their post witness anyone on the internet. the change will affect users age 13-17. until now, their information and photos were only visible to friends. a pop up will appear before each post, warning teens that they will be sharing the internet at large. facebook hopes the new policy

what happens when social media uncovers unheard, fascinating news stories? >> they share it on the stream. >> social media isn't an after-thought, it drives discussion across america. >> al jazeera america's social media community, on tv and online. >> this is your outlet for those conversations. >> post, upload and interact.

>> every night share undiscovered stories. >> welcome back to aljazeera america. i'm del walters. even though washington avoided a fiscal crisis, there is growing skepticism that the can has been kicked down the road and mid january, congress will be back at it again. jonathan betz has the fails. >> this agreement pushes it back by a couple of months until early february. the government will be funded by mid january, but then we could face another showdown. we've seen it. since the tea party movement, lawmakers have disagreed over spending tax cuts and the new health care allow.

going back to 2010, december, the u.s. faced another fight over the budget, government came close to running out of money. congress voted twice to fund the government by only a few days at a time until finally in late december, lawmakers pushed it off until march the following year when they had another showdown. this lasted for weeks. we had several more quick budget extensions, deadlines narrowly avoided. by mid apriavoided. 2011, a deal was struck an hour before the deadline. it lasted for a year until september. then came march of this year, another delay by a few months, bringing us to october of this year. this time, no deal was reached by the october 1 deadline, so the government shut down for several weeks. >> conservative republicans die if ant, gearing up for that

january budget fight. joining us to discuss this is the director for the republican national committee, mr. spicier, good morning. >> thanks for having me. >> 16 days of governmentiondown has come and gone with republicans not getting any of the concessions they asked for. so many of asking was it worth it. >> i think we cast a spotlight on the major problems of this country, debt, obamacare the major one driving a lot of the debt. from a standpoint of did we bring the attention to these issues? yes. does it give us the opportunity as the president said he wanted to get past this to negotiate? i think we have set that table and said mr. president, we have agreed to these terms, you must now come back to the table as you said you would to negotiate this. we've piled up 17 drillun dollars of debt and it's time

the nation dealt with it. >> the polls are indicating that the shutdown, the republicans, it did not bear well for the republican party. some say almost 75% of the people say they don't like your party. what do you say about the polls? >> well, del, they say the same thing about the president, the departments. i don't think what happened here looked good from the outside. a lot of americans said what's going on in washington. at the end of the day, you can take the short term hit and what's happened too often for washington in decades is people have passed the buck and done things that would be appealing to constituents back home mainly through increasing spending. the republican party and our members in the house stood up and said enough's enough. we have major problems. we need to be honest to the american people about what those problems are. it might not be politically popular at the time, but i think it will pay off. >> the polls are not kind to anybody anywhere, but the bottom

line is regardless of which way you look at them, those polls if you were an auto mechanic nobody would bring in their car to be fixed by the republicans, the democrats or the white house. what do you do mid term and 2016? >> just to play on your example, when you bring in your car and your mechanic said all of these things are wrong, it's going to cost you a lot of money, you're not happy with the guy. there is no one happy when the necking nick tells you the problems. when he tells you you've got to fix the engine, here is a maintenance schedule that will allow you to keep the car, get it back in shape, avoid calamity, you may not like to hear it and may be mad at the time, but you come back a few days later saying i appreciate you being honest with me one

have my best interest at heart. we continue to have this conversation with the american people saying ok, i know you didn't think it was pretty, but we have serious problems, we have solution to say tackle them. we're the party that's going to be honest about what we need to do. >> are you being disingenuous? the president admits there are problems with the affordable care act, saying there are glitches in the system that need to be fixed. are you going to tackle the glitches or do you still want to dismantle obamacare? >> i know this got messy at the end. there were two separate issues. the debt ceiling came due just after the fiscal year of the government ended. obamacare was tied to the shutdown. the entitlement reform was tied to the debt.

you had those two issues collide. that's what made this a lot messier is people stopped trying to figure out what was each problem and where do they come together, so they -- coincidentally, they do tie together. obamacare is a major driver of the debt. going forward now, because as you recall, there are two issues. one talking about what would it take to get the government back open and two, what it would take to end the debt ceiling. a lot of them allowed the debt to be avoided at the same time. we need to sit down and have those negotiations. obamacare is both a major problem for american taxpayers, for businesses, but it is also a major driver of the debt. >> mr. spicier, some say that ted cruz is a major party or major problem for the republican party and he was the one that was driving this debate, as were the tea party republicans.

what do you do about ted cruz and the tea party? >> we embrace them. i mean, this is a. >> you embrace them, but can you control them? the speaker couldn't get them to come onboard any vote. >> but -- del, see the problem for too often is i think people assume that the job of the party or of washington is to control folks. what ted cruz and a lot of these members do is frankly respond to what the american people want them to be talking about. this idea i think in the media of controlling them is exactly the opposite of what the american people are looking for, for too often, they've seen people walk lock step and say let's increase the debt ceiling and make deals. what ted cruz and members of the house are responding to what people all outside the belt way are talking about, what is going on in this country, who is actually dealing with the problems this nation is facing and what solutions are going forward. i think it's the complete opposite of having control over

people is bringing more people into this discussion and actually starting to listen to the american people. >> when we talk about what the american people want, only 18% of the american public as a whole voled for tea party members. is that really what the republican party wants to be the face of their party? >> i frankly, i -- i don't even know how you can possibly come up with a statistic like that. >> tea party members come gerrymandered districts. we all know that, and of those districts, when you add them up across the country represent 18% of the people out there. they don't remember the majority of americans. is that the face that the republican party wants to be known as? >> i mean, i categorically reject the idea that there is no one in congress today that has a label that says tea party republican. they either have an r.o. a d. that's like saying which once are the labor departments --

which ones are the occupy d.c. or the occupy wall street departments? i mean that's literally like saying that when no one ever asked the democratic party which ones are your occupy wall street democrats, because there are frankly more democrats tied to the extreme leftwing, the environmentalists, the labor or occupy movement than there are so called tea party republicans. each one of those republicans to one extent for another, the tea party members are having too much of washington telling us we can move the train the same direction and there's not going to be any consequences. frankly, the tea party is a bunch of americans who are tired of what's going on in this nation. >> other patriots like senator john mccain say that obamacare

was doomed from the start. moving forward, how do you marry all the different idealogies inside your party? >> the one thing that is forgotten is that everyone in the republican conference, in this particular case, and in others was united. there wasn't one republican that was opposed to defunding and replacing obamacare, not one. the question came down to how do we do it, and you had a group of senators and some house republicans who thought they had a strategy that would work. others believed they may have been had to be done in piece meal approach. that is a fundamental deal with tactics. at the end of the day, we all belief in ending up at the same place. this is the most unified congress we have had in history. what gets confused in a difference over tactics is mistaken for disunity within the goal, which is not the case. >> thanks for being with us this morning. i've known owl of your

predecessors and had the same debate with them. will you be back? >> i'm glad to, whenever you would like to. >> thank you very much. turning to weather now, colder temperatures are pushing their way across the country. for more, we turn to nicole mitchell. >> we thought politics are frigid, i've got competition for that with two cold fronts. one into the eastern boundary and another through the midsection of the country. we are off to quite the chilly start this morning. in the southern plains, we haven't seen cold temperatures like that before. the highs going to be on the brisk side, denver at 52. east coast, still some 70's. watch places like new york. they will be dropping in some cases up to 10 degrees as the cold front continues to push through. this is tomorrow's forecast.

you can see how the 70's become more temperatures across the region that will be in the 60's. in the meantime, the weather doesn't have a lot of moisture with it. you can see hit and miss showers, a lot of places that if you do happen to see some rain. it will be an inch or less, or less than that. midsection of the country, we have moisture, for example in the dakotas. what we felt is the colder air that's moved in. the moisture, you can seat lighter greens, that's the light stuff pap lot of places have the chance for a little bit of precipitation. low temperatures this morning. we get to kansas, north texas, we've seen some 20's and low 30's, so freezing, we've had frost and freeze advisories this morning. this is tomorrow morning, more widespread temperatures right around that freezing mark and places like denver with naming overnight, that rain could shift off to a little snow.

>> snow. don't like that. nicole, thank you very much. >> washington state established new rules for sales of marijuana, allowing 334 retail pot stores to open across the state. next month, it will begin accepting applications to run shows shops. last november, washington state voters approving the possession of an ounce of marijuana for recreational use. >> the detroit tigers evened their series with the boston red sox. john henry smith has been smiling all morning. >> i'm a happy guy anyway, but a little happier this morning. they say foreign favors the bold and certainly jim leyland embodied that saying last night. he caught flak for removing malt scherzer sunday night, resulting in a five-run sox rally. this morning, he looks like a genius for shaking up the batting order in game four. legal land got an assess from jake peavy, the boston red sox

starter. he walked four guys. victor martinez scores, two batters later, torii hunter leading off for the first time in 14 years drivers in two runs, giving the tigers a 4-0 lead. the hits kept on coming. american league batting champion miguel cabrera batting second for the first time in nine years drivers in torii hunter with a base hit up the middle. peavy didn't get a lot of help. no errors for pedroia in this game, despite failing to make two place on grounders hit right at hill. tigers win 7-3 to tie the series at two. >> players executed tonight, did a heck of a job. they bottled, 50er battled.

we were ready to play, they were ready to play. we were beneficiary of a couple of walks in that one inning. i was proud of the guys. they came out ready to play and fister was ready to bottle. >> facing elimination, the dodgers sent zack greinke back. he got molina to hit into a double play to end the threat. greinke with the r.b.i. single on joe kelly to drive in puig and give the dodgers the lead. the dodgers bats exploded with four solo home runs over the next six innings. that's their first four home runs of the series. the dodgers hold on to win it 6-4, to force game six in st. louis on friday. >> lions defensive tackle

ndamukong suh may be a very big man, but the nfl seems in tent off proving it's much bigger, fining him for this hit. while he didn't make contact with the head or neck, he made contact with the forehead hair line according to the league spokesman, hence the fine. officials by the way did not call a penalty on the play. since the lions drafted ndamukong suh, the nfl docked him $374,000 in pay and fines due to suspension. >> recovering from a badly sprained knee, the rookie from florida state has thrown 5t.d. passes. he led the bills to two wins. lewis will continue to start in his place. that's your look at morning sports. >> we used to play tougher than that in sand lots, didn't we? we didn't have helmets.

>> i heard you were a sand lot legend back in the day. maybe you were playing. >> legend in my own mind. >> me, too.

>> american and iranian officials say there has been significant progress in the latest rounds of talks on iran's nuclear prom. they have agreed to hold more meetings, hoping to flush out a deal to limit iran's ability to acquire a nuke. >> i think it's clear that behind the scenes, both the international community and the iranians talking about possibly making concessions to the other. i think it's possible the international community is now considering the idea of letting iran enrich uranium to a certain level on its own soil. it airanians are preparing to accept the possibility are further inspections and further verification measures. let's listen to what both sides had to say. >> we have had the opportunity to talk as i've already indicated in much greater detail than ever before, so answer each of those questions, to have the

opportunity to do that, as i've already indicated in different formats. >> we believe there is no reason for the continuation of this problem. there are more important issues that we need to deal with and the rights of iran to pursue nuclear technology for peaceful purposes including enrichment can be exercised with the necessary prettyical will without any proliferation concerns and that is what we are going to move forward and achieve in mind. >> western diplomats telling me there are still many hurdles in this process, many potential sticking points, but they're encouraged by the progress that's been made, by the clarity and the candor in their discussions with the eye raines. one senior u.s. official said i've never had such intense detailed, straight forward discussions with the eye raines before. >> that is james bays reporting

from switzerland. >> do you believe that the talks were successful? >> it's very successful. i think that the atmosphere after the meeting is an indication that what went on inside the meeting was actually very progressive. >> what happens next? in other words, what does the iranian prime minister do next to continue the ball rolling forward? >> well, i think what probably is offered and we don't know what was said inside the closed doors, but clearly iran was willing to at some point sign the additional protocols, which just gives more verifiable basically guarantees that the nuclear prom is not intended for weaponry. >> there has been a lot of debate as to what brought iran to the table this time as

president obama opposed to four years ago. what is your observation? why are iranian authorities talking so openly and what some are saying this time. >> a reason, the mod receipts have come to power through a landslide election, the president. then this in-between period where ahmadinejad was president and the west couldn't negotiate with him. >> how do you negotiate with a country with ahmadinejad said the things that he said about israel, when israel is a very close ally to the united states. >> that was the problem, and i think even in the last year of

ahmadinejad's administration, he was willing to negotiate with united states, but of course, he had too much baggage with him that i don't think the u.s. would negotiate with him. rouhani comes with a clear, good record from the past, because he was actually one of the negotiators in the old days and he was very forthcoming in those days. >> but ahmadinejad and to the supreme leader. rouhani some say answers to the supreme leader. why are the shots being called different? >> i think the scream leader that changed his position. in the earlier period, he supported the mod receipts, because he thought they could get a deal with the united states. when the bush administration rejected those deals web put his weight behind the die hazard like ahmadinejad. now i think he saw with the election of obama that this was

a good opportunity now to retry a moderate line. >> what do you believe the supreme leader really wants, if he has changed his position, what do you think he wants? >> i think it's clear what he and the iran wants. they don't want a nuclear weapon, but they want to have the capability in the long run, if every in a dire situation, that they could put together a bomb that's say in 10-15 years, if they're ever in a situation like they were with sadaam hussein when the country was invaded, whose sane using mass weapons of destruction, they don't want to be in that situation again. that doesn't mean they want to bomb now, but they want to have the capability in theory of being able to create a deter rent if they need it. >> thank you for being with us, a professor at beirut college.

flood victims who feared generations of memory were lost. >> i am cutting out a photo from a plastic sleeve. i'm hoping that the image will stay. >> many of the images are now glued together by mud and moisture, so one by one, the volunteers carefully go about their salvage operation. it's been more than a month now since put there waters ravaged towns and destroyed homes here in colorado. this group has salvaged thousands of photographs and untold number of memories. the flood destroyed vital roads and filled basement witness water in 19 colorado counties, leaving plenty of photos to be saved. >> the number of photos you have done? >> rear estimating 10,000 and more. we'll get photos, a stack that are just back-to-back. >> these women will be the first to tell you they are not experts. they are self taught from the internet, not working with special teams, other than exacto
