pereira. >> good morning, welcome to "new day," friday, september 27th, 6:00 in the east. tgif except that does mean a day closer to a possible government shutdown. three days out, still no compromise in sight. more concerning than time is tone. the white house comparing republicans to terrorists. can paychecks and interest rates be at risk because of all this partisan pandering? we'll take you through where things stand and what's at stake? >> there are carmakers who advertise these amazing high-tech systems. they'll help you avoid a crash or stop the car automatically if it senses a collision is coming. but do they really work? one group put the cars to the test and we'll tell you how they all stack up. she is one of the biggest names in politics. chelsea clinton sitting down with our piers morgan. find out what she says about her mom's white house plans and perhaps her own political future.

>> but first let's begin with a just released blockbuster report on global warming. it's the most thorough scientific study ever done on the subject and here is the disturbing headline that's just coming out. the u.n.'s intergovernmental panel on climate change concluding with near certainty that global warming and real and humans are mostly to blame for this. the landmark report came out just two hours ago. we have a team of reporters on this to cover all the angles. we begin our coverage with indra petersons. we're looking at 95% certainty, not that there's climate change but that humans are involved. that is the big landmark. this is a change from 90% from the last time they released this report. what are we talking about here? there's two parts. with warmer days and nights, very likely the changes occurred and humans are to blame. we talk about tropical storms, a big topic for many of us. low competence in that area.

high sea levels, likely confidence in both areas, human involvement and the fact that it's occurring. who is involved with this? we're talking about it being extremely likely. 66%, that was the confidence in 2001. look at that jump in confidence that we've seen from that period of time. this is a report that comes from a thousand experts around the world. we're talking 39 countries. the purpose of it, we want politicians around the world, they're going line by line to make sure they understand it so they know what kind of policies they need to set moving forward. there's controversy. here's what's going on. from 1950 on we know we've been releasing carbon into the atmosphere. we have been talking about temperatures going up a degree fahrenheit since then. here's where the controversy lies. in the last 15 years, that rate has slowed. what are people saying? it was only 0.9 degrees fahrenheit, is it human involvement? human involvement exists yet the rate is slowing.

they want you to say, ignore this. look at the big picture. look, here's the big picture. it is still going up. that is the trend. that is what they don't want you to miss. a lot skeptics will say, looking at a model moving forward in time, you need to say the projections are accurate. to do that, you have to go backwards in time. that's the concern there. what is the reason to are that? we're talking about el nino and la nina. that's what they're pointing to. the ocean holds your warmth in the ocean. if the ocean is warm in an el nino year it's warmer outside. it can't hold in the warmth. since 1998 it's been cooler and with that we're talking about the temperatures slightly going down. that can change and that's what we'll be watching and that's where the skepticism comes from. >> all right, indra. now that we know what's in the u.n. report and assuming we choose to believe it, a tougher choice may be what to do about

it. how can we alter some of the more dire predictions suggesting that cities like miami might be under water in the next few decades. our coverage continues with chad myers live from south florida this morning. good morning. >> reporter: think about a thermometer, either it's the red alcohol or the shiny silver mercury. when the alcohol warms up, the alcohol or mercury goes up. that's what's happening to the ocean. the ocean is expanding just like a thermometer is expanding. the ocean 'sea level is rising. i drove to miami beach on wednesday and i said there must be a water main break, there's water in the streets. the professor said that's just high tide. i said it's just high tide? but there's water here. this isn't even a king tide. the big tide didn't it the happen for two more weeks. wait till you see what happens there. there will be more water in the streets. there's no denying in this town that the sea level is going up.

the ocean is rising quicker than in decades past and predictions made by some research scientists make the situation sound pretty dire. >> by the midpart of the century, 2050, 2060, most of the barrier islands in the world will have to be evacuated. >> that includes miami. it's hard to imagine, iconic miami beach desserted but it is obvious that rising water is already a common problem here. on a sunny day, a high tide is enough to flood some streets. >> we live on lime stone. it's like a porous sponge. we really can't use levees to hold back the water. >> reporter: while the city tens to find ways to deal with the excess water, many experts say there's no way to stop it. >> we saw barricades and sandbags all along alton because the water sits there during high tide. let's put one more foot of water on top of this for just a one-foot sea level rise from here from miami beach. >> every single street that's

blue will have water in it if we get a one-foot rise in sea level? >> yes. >> reporter: that's a problem. >> the king tides, it will be higher than this. but this is seasonally showing you the places that will be affected first. >> the important thing is, is to keep observing what's happening, to look at all the ranges and projections and then come back to the policymakers and say here's the actions you have to take. >> reporter: the southeast florida climate change compact has been created to monitor and mitigate the harsh consequences of climate change. >> they're not sticking their heads in the sand. they know this is a real problem. >> reporter: this is a real problem and not just for miami or south beach. south beach itself, a few feet higher because of the sand dune. there are so many low-lying cities in america from galveston to new orleans to tampa and ft. myers and here and on up the east coast. >> when you list the things off, you see how many people, states

and cities need to be paying attention to this report, just as you pointed out. >> right. move over to capitol hill. one step forward, two steps back. that may be the only way to describe what's happening in congress this week. the senate is scheduled to vote on a bill to fund the government until mid-november of next year and avoid a government shutdown. it is expected to strip out a provision that would defund obamacare, setting up a contentious battle with the house. the deadline three days away. senior white house correspondent jim acosta is joining us with the latest on the back and forth. >> reporter: back and forth, back and forth, that's right, kate. senate democrats are confident they will get a bill out of the senate later on this afternoon that will keep the government running and avoid a shutdown. the honest truth is, nobody knows what happens after that. that's because both sides sound as if they're headed toward a shutdown. three days and counting and

there's no compromise in sight that could avert a government shutdown. right behind that september 30th shutdown deadline, the nation could go into default roughly two weeks later, unless congress raises the debt ceiling, despite warnings from an economist of a disaster, republicans say they'll approve an increase in the debt limit only if the president agrees to their demands, like delaying obamacare by a year and more budget cuts. president obama says he won't negotiate over the debt ceiling. >> to suggest america not pay its bills, just to try to blackmail a president into giving them some concessions on issues that have nothing to do with the budget. i mean, this is the united states of america. we're not a deadbeat nation. >> reporter: the white house is ratcheting up the rhetoric, accusing some republicans of acting like terrorists. >> we are for cutting spending, we are for reforming our tax code. we're not for negotiating with

people with a bomb strapped to their test. >> american people, this is the gop. we have your economy. >> reporter: the democratic party is echoing that message, releasing this fake debt ceiling ransom call from the gop. >> clock's ticking. we hope you don't make us do this. >> reporter: republicans say that kind of talk is an outrage. >> it's completely unrealistic for the president to say that we're not going to negotiate over the debt ceiling. that he thinks somehow we should be giving him another blank check to continue these record deficits? >> reporter: gop leaders point to new polls showing americans want the president to negotiate. trading budget cuts for an increase to the debt ceiling. >> the president says i'm not going to negotiate. >> reporter: sorry. >> it just doesn't work that way. >> we call on the president now, harry reid, to sit down with us and let's solve the problem. >> reporter: as for the issue that's been at the heart of the threats of a government

shutdown, obamacare, yesterday the obama administration acknowledged a couple of glitches with the rollout, the implementation of this health care law. online signup for small businesses to provide coverage for their employees, that will not be ready until november 1st and spawn language signup for these online insurance exchanges, that, too, has hit a delay. the administration says that will be worked out in time. but, chris and kate, getting back to this threat of a government shutdown, the office of management and budget here at the white house plan on sending out a new parameters, new guidelines to federal agencies across the government today that sort of get them ready for what might happen on monday if we go into a shutdown. but of course all of that can be averted if there's a last-second deal. we just don't see one yet. >> chris, that is the hope, that there's light at the end of the tunnel and it ain't the train. thank you very much. appreciate the reporting. major developments at the u.n. regarding syria and the future

of roo of iran nuclear program. john kerry's meeting with iran's foreign minister made history as the first face-to-face in 30 years but did it make a difference? chief national security correspondent jim sciutto is live at our washington bureau. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning. in a single day at the u.n., incredible progress on two of the u.s.'s, really the world's most intractable problems in the middle east. syria and iran. let's talk about iran, the highest level meeting between u.s. and iranian officials in 30 years, john kerry and mohammad zarif. they sat right next to each other. then on the sidelines of that meeting, a bilateral between the two. now, coming out, some immediate expectations, management from secretary kerry. he said, quote, one meeting and a change in tone are not enough but many participants inside that room described an energetic

and substantial discussion. today the iaea, the international atomic energy agency has a meeting as well. the u.s. and russia have reached agreement on a u.n. resolution governing the complete elimination of syria's chemical weapons, a draft text went to the 15 members of the u.n. security council last night. they will vote on it as soon as tonight. the key elements of that draft as you mentioned, chris, syria legally obligated to allow inspectors and soon teams into the country that will remove and destroy its weapons. if they don't comply, sanctions will come under chapter 7 of the u.n. charter, however, to impose sanctions, including military action, the u.s. would have to go back to the u.n. security council for another vote. really when we think chris and kate where we were a couple of weeks ago, remarkable progress on both of those countries that we could have predicted a year

ago. >> excellent point. jim sciutto, good to see you. >> there's a lot of news developing at this very hour. let's get straight to michaela for the latest. five people dead and 12 are in the hospital after a residential building collapse in mumbai. rescue crews are searching through that rubble. dozens of people are still believed to be trapped underneath. the owner of the five-story building set more than 20 apartments were occupied on the upper levels. groups have expressed concern with neglect in the old buildings in that area. a kenyan counterterrorism source says one man gave himself away as a suspect when a machine gun magazine fell out of his pocket. there are reports that a white woman was among the attackers, sparking issues about samantha

dramatic video of a dangerous high-speed chase. watch as a florida state trooper barely escapes collision after the fleeing suspect slams into another car and spins out of control. it all begins when a trooper pulls over this man, 30-year-old james maddux on suspicion of dui. the trooper asks him to step out of the vehicle. >> do me a favor and step out, sir. >> reporter: watch as maddux flees the scene at speeds over 100 miles per hour. seconds later, the suspect runs a red light and bangs into another car, the driver of that car, thrown from his vehicle. maddux then barely misses the trooper's cruiser as his car goes up in flames. he's ejected from the prius as it careens off the road. inside the car, an 18-year-old passenger who is trapped in the burning wreckage. >> we have one over here! >> he's inside? >> yes. >> reporter: officers move

quickly to pull that teen to safety. >> not only is he facing a bench of charges, he's in the hospital, so are two people in the car that he hit. this was a bad situation all around. lucky it wasn't worse. >> that's exactly right. >> good story. thank you for that. let's get back to indra petersons with a look at the weekend forecast. >> i love that. this is the word weekend, it sounds so good. it's nice. we have a double whammy out there. we talk the northeast to the southeast. generally being dry. florida you'll always have your afternoon thunderstorms but overall, temperatures are perfect and only an afternoon thunderstorm in florida. no complaining there. d.c. 70s. atlanta, more 70s. loving this. we see the story going to be once again, notice all the cool temperatures in the pacific northwest. temperatures 15 or so degrees below normal. on the other side of it, temperatures 15 degrees above normal. when you see that and you have a system move through the area, you'll see severe thunderstorms. that's what we're looking for today. nebraska through texas. not just heavy rain but some

welcome back to "new day." the former montana teacher convicted of raining a 14-year-old student is a free man. stacey rambold walked out of prison thursday after just one month behind bars. the short sentence sparked outrage across the country. along with comments from the judge that seemed to blame the victim. here's cnn's kyung lah with the latest. >> reporter: stacey rambold sped out of state prison a free man, checking in with his parole officer. >> hi, stacey.

i'm kyung lah from cnn. can i ask you a few questions? >> reporter: he dashed in, his head down. a short time later. >> can i chat with you a little bit longer, sir? is there anything you'd like to say? >> reporter: left for home. the former teacher not answering any questions from cnn about his one-month jail sentence for raping his 14-year-old student cherice moralez. rambold was arrested in 2008. as he awaited trial, his young victim was tormented by other students who bullied her for being a rape victim. before rambold's case was heard, cherice moralez took her own life. to add insult to injury, the man who was supposed to represent justice, judge todd baugh then sentenced rambold to one month behind bars, saying the teenage victim seemed older than her chronological age and was as much in control as the then 49-year-old rambold. >> i'm kyung lah -- >> reporter: the judge who has already repeatedly ducked cnn's

questions has since admitted the sentence may have been illegal. state laws mandate a two-year minimum for this crime. rambold is now a registered sex offender and faces a long list of probation and parole conditions, 59 of them to be exact. he can't be around children, go to a bar, get on the internet or open up a checking account. what's more, this may not be the end of his legal story. prosecutors have filed an appeal with the state supreme court and hope to put him back behind bars. >> i see hope on the horizon. i think as long as we know it's happening, we can acknowledge it and we can do something to change it. >> reporter: hoping to finally find justice that has so far failed cherice moralez. kyung lah, billings, montana. coming up next on "new day," lawmakers playing ping-pong with the threat of a government shutdown. the senate expected to pass a short-term spending bill today, putting the pressure back on

scientists say they are 95% certain on their findings, the surest they've ever been on the issue. at the u.n., movement on a draft resolution that would impose legally binding allegations on syria to dismantle its stash of chemical weapons. the security council could vote on the resolution by tonight. for the first time in more than 30 years, top u.s. and iranian officials have held a face-to-face meeting. secretary of state john kerry met with his iranian counterpart. talks aimed at eliminating its nuclear weapons programs will continue next month. ortiz was with hernandez when he allegedly killed his one-time friend, odin lloyd, officials say. new details revealed during a bail hearing for ernest wallace. prosecutor allege hernandez was the only one who got out of the car with lloyd before he was

house republicans have not come to a resolution to what they can agree on. >> we might need the big gators to bring discipline to capitol hill. we really don't know, kate. the republicans in the house are demanding negotiations with the president and his fellow democrats but at the same timing with the biggest priority is negotiating amongst themselves. what speaker boehner hoped to do, let's say the senate puts back in the money for president obama's health care plan. that looks almost certain to happen. they send it back to the house. what speaker boehner hoped to do, pass that, keep the government running and then going to lifting the debt ceiling many members of the republican conference say, no, we want to try again, we want to add something else to the continuing resolution, the paperwork to keep the government running. they want to try something else and maybe send it back to the senate with that deadline clock ticking. the house republicans have an internal feud going on. then there's the bigger question of whether they can get the president to the table,

assuming, we'll watch this through the weekend, assuming they keep the government open. >> then that -- let me ask you that question, though, can they get the president to come to the table? the president yesterday accused republicans of trying to blackmail a president. those were his words. why did democrats in the white house think there is no into ed to compromise on these issues? >> well, the president thinks that he can characterize the republicans as the my way or the highway, the obstructionist party that first was threatening a government shut jone an then is threatening something even more dangerous to the global economy, the faith and credit of the united states government, the borrowing authority of the united states government. the president believes that he can make that case and he has the bully pulpit. the president's own poll numbers are pretty weak. >> true. >> that's why republicans say, wipt, the president says i won't negotiate on this issue. no president would negotiate on this issue. remember the sequester that forced budget cuts? that came from negotiations back in 2011 over what? raising the debt creeling. >> excellent point.

history repeats itself, which let's hope it does not when it comes to the sequester. everyone hates that but they all voted on it. that's the amazing thing. >> this is no way to run a railroad. we do this every six months or year, it's just the operations of the united states government. it looks silly. you could laugh except the stakes are so high. >> excellent point. we'll obviously be talking about this next week and for weeks to come, i'm sure. even though the deadline is right around the corner. i want to ask you on a completely different topic, do i want to get your take on wendy davis. remember this name because this is a democrat who made her name for herself when they held that 13-hour filibuster over a controversial abortion bill in that state, texas. she's expected to announce that she'll make a run for governor, a democrat in a red state. do you think she has a chance? >> a chance, yes. but she has to be near perfect in running this campaign. texas is changing. it's becoming more blue but it is not blue.

it's a reliably red state. ann richards, the last time a democrat is elected, a governor from the democratic party. rick perry is stepping aside. the attorney general, greg abbott is the likely republican candidate. does she is a chance? yes, will there be a ton of national money put into this race? yes. if you have to place a bet, the safest bet is still an "r." coming up on "new day," do these new gizmos to let your car help you avoid accidents, the question is do they make driving better 0 aor worse? coremakers were put to the test and we have the results. and a big fight over some very big cats. nine tigers living in one man's home, even sleeping in the same beds with his three daughters. now wildlife officials want to step in and take them away. what's going on? >> why, what's the risk?

welcome back. let's go around the world now starting in russia. the international olympic committee says they are satisfied there won't be discrimination against gay athletes or spectators in the upcoming olympics in sochi. >> reporter: the law does not breach the olympic movement's own rules on discrimination. olympic officials do not have the right to criticize it. in russia it is illegal to tell children gay and straight relationships are equal. gay activists say that restricts freedom of speech based on sexual preference, so it must be considered discrimination. they're outraged by the ioc's ruling and shows the olympic charter is meaningless. back to you, kate.

>> thank you so much. a brazilian animal lover has two lions and seven house-trained tigers. yes, i said seven. a legal fight is brewing over whether the family can keep the big cats. here's shasta darlington. >> reporter: a brazilian man has brought nine tigers to live with his family. he feeds them directly from the table. they drink milk from a bottle. he even lets his gran daught s ride on their backs and his daughter occasionally takes them for ain the swimming pool. he wants to open an animal park. in the meantime, they have free range of the place. >> nine big cats. >> nine, no. that's crazy. cat crazy. >> another one for you. automakers now advertise sophisticated systems. they say they can warn you

before a crash, even stop your car in the nick of time. sounds great, maybe. how well does it work? car safety group says they have the answers. cnn's rene marsh is live in washington with them. good morning, rene. >> reporter: good morning, chris. for that distracted driver it could help them avoid rear-ending someone and if you're cut off on the highway, if you're from new york, you know about that, manufacturers say it could help the driver avoid collision in that situation, too. one group put the in-car technology to the test and here are the results. they cause thousands in damage. serious injuries and even death. the insurance institute for highway safety says high-tech systems in new cars aimed at preventing or mitigating front-end crashes are, in fact, keeping drivers safer. >> keep your foot off the brake. keep your foot off the brake. did it stop you? >> yes, it did. >> reporter: it's called

collision avoidance technology. the institute tested several to determine if they're effective and worth your money. >> we find that they help reduce crashes with other vehicles by about 7%. >> reporter: that's just the work of the warning system. which alerts drivers a collision is coming. with an automatic braking system, the institute says the effectiveness doubles. the top performers, the subaru legacy and outback, cadillac ats and srx, mercedes-benz c-class and volvo s60 and xc60. without auto brakes, damage exceeds $28,000. but with auto brakes, less than $6,000 in damage. now, compare the two. >> we think it's worth the money. >> we have two cameras mounted up here. >> reporter: inside the top-rated subaru legacy, they call the two cameras a second pair of eyes. >> i was able to take my foot

off of both pedals, the brake and the gas and the car stopped on its own. that's how it was men the to work. >> exactly. what you've got, two cameras, those cameras are seeing if there's a vehicle in front of you, it's slowing down, it starts to bring on the brakes as you get closer and it has the power to bring the car to a complete stop and keep you stopped. >> reporter: cost varies. it could cost hundreds or thousands depending on how advanced the system is. it's mostly optional at this point and 5% to 10% of new cars being sold have these systems. chris and kate. >> that's a fascinating look, rene. thank you so much. >> i don't know that i want it. i want to drive. >> i like the warnings. i don't want the car to do something for me. >> i stole your opinion. >> yes, thank you. >> i had a different one. i liked yours better. >> this is why we're not allowed to talk on the commercial brake. coming up next on "new day" -- i love you so much. over the years, chelsea clinton has kept a fairly low

profile but now she's speaking out about her potential political future, plus, what she says is one of the biggest threats facing the world. that's coming up. and a provocative question -- >> who stole willie nelson's armadillo? i said it, chris. >> what is the provocative question? >> who stole his armadillo. it was taken from the stage during a recent concert, caught on video, of course. it's our must-see movement. >> it has to be bieber or rihanna. ♪ can't wait to get on the road again ♪ [ man ] i'd be a baker.

she is 33 years old. never held elected office but she's trying to make a positive difference. and has a name that says politics. so you can understand why chelsea clinton is mentioned as a potential politician. she spoke with cnn's piers morgan about a wide range of topics including her future, her mother's future and threats facing the country both foreign and domestic. here's a look. >> there is an issue now with the radicalization of home-grown terror, whether it's in america or britain. we don't know where all the terrorists came from. you have this disaffected youth, unemployed youth but you have a youth that can be susceptible to being radicalize. how do you think is the best way for a country like america to deal with this problem? >> the greatest risk factor is arguably an unemployed young man to any social system, any society anywhere in the world. insuring that young people feel like we are collectively investing more in their future

than in kind of either harboring past grievances or in kind of protecting the status quo is the best antidote to that. i think in some ways kenya was attacked because they have been transcending historic tribal barriers and strife. they have come a tremendous way since the 2007-2008 election violence and have been repudiating kind of the historical forces that were trying to keep kenya back. and so i think because young people sit up in this last election and said we're not going to have a violent election, we're going to have free, transparent and open elections, we are going to move our country forward, sadly, we've seen the backlash. >> have you ever thought of running for high office? >> piers, people have been asking me that question for as early as i remember. literally. >> what's the truthful answer? >> the truthful answer is

good morning. welcome back to "new day." it's friday, september 27th, 7:00 in the east. new this morning, a ground-breaking agreement finally reached by the u.n. security council forcing syria to give up its chemical weapons. the obvious question, will it stick or fall apart? we will ask it and give you perspective. meanwhile, high-level talks with iran happening for the first time in almost 35 years. they are making history but are they making progress? >> good questions. also ahead, a mom sentenced to 25 years behind bars for shooting a warning shoot for her allegedly abusive husband. why did marissa alexander get such a severe sentence and what could this new trial for her? we'll talk with her attorney, live. we know fast food has long been a target of health advocates, those that advocate healthy heating. the biggest name of them all, stepping up, mcdonald's adding

who is this panel? this is a thousand experts from around the world. we're talking 39 countries here. so with that, these are the experts. the reason they're putting their support together, it's really so the politicians can take this information and make policies that help us moving forward. now, the big story i think most of us understand with global warming, yes, carbon emissions have been going up. with that, the temperatures have been going up. about a degree fahrenheit since the '50s there. so the other thing you have to realize is when temperatures go up, water expands. if we continue to put more carbon out there, we don't change anything, the high extreme of this is by the time we get to 2100 we'll be talking about another three feet of water. that's the extreme. if we slow things down, stop everything completely, the carbon is out there and effects will take some time to take place. we'll still see the sea level rise. there's a lot of controversy about this chart. the reason for that? this only accounts for the water out there.

if it melts, you have the greenland ice sheet, this could go up 20 feet. a lot of people are saying this is important information, policymakers need this to talk about how we build and develop in the future. 3 feet is nothing compared to 20 feet. that's what you'll be hearing about. this comes out officially on monday. >> a lot of people need to read through it. >> yes. >> the report, one of the things the report points out is that global warming could have a catastrophic effect on cities along the east coast of the united states, that includes miami. that's where cnn meteorologist chad myers is this morning with more on this aspect of this ground-breaking report. good morning, chad. >> reporter: good morning. i experienced this firsthand on wednesday when i drove to miami beach. when i drove up alton street to 10th street, there's water in the street. i said, is there a water main break? they said this is high tide. i went, this is ground. high tide happens over at the beach. happens over on the shore. nope, water comes up through t e sewers and it comes up every time there's a high tide. no denying it here in miami, the

water is going up. the ocean is rising quicker than in decades past. predictions made by some research scientists make the situation sound pretty dire. >> by the midpart of the century, 2050, 2060, most of the barrier islands in the world will have to be evacuated. >> reporter: and that includes miami. it's hard to imagine, iconic miami beach deserted but it is obvious that rising water is already a common problem here. on a sunny day, a high tide is enough to flood some streets. >> we live on lime stone. lime stone is like porous sponge. we really can't use levees to hold back the water. >> reporter: while the city continues to find ways to deal with the excess water, many experts say there's no way to stop it. >> we saw barricades and sandbags all along alton because the water sits there during high tide. let's put one more foot of water on top of this for just a one-foot sea level rise from here from miami beach. what does that look like? you're telling me every single

street that's blue will have water in it if we get a one-foot rise in sea level? >> yes. >> that's a problem. >> the king tides, it will be higher than this. but this is seasonally showing you the places that will be affected first. >> the important thing is, is to keep observing what's happening, to look at all the ranges and projections and then come back to the policymakers and say here's the actions you have to take. >> reporter: the southeast florida climate change compact has been created to monitor and mitigate the harsh consequences of climate change. >> they're not sticking their heads in the sand. they know this is a real problem. >> reporter: you can do all you want but you can't hold back mother nature sometimes, chris. the water is rising. it's been rising since the '50s. they know it here. they're trying to figure out what to do. right now they don't have an answer. it's still going up year after year after year, chris. >> all right, chad, thank you for the perspective this morning. there is no question that the next disaster to tell you about is completely manmade.

the potential government shutdown and potential economic meltdown. in just three days, funding for the federal government will dry up. in just five hours, the senate will vote on a short-term spending bill that avoids it but also keeps obamacare funded. setting up one final confrontation with the republican-controlled house. jim acosta joining us live from the white house this morning. good morning, jim. >> reporter: that's right. as you mentioned, senate democrats are confident that they will get a bill that averts a government shutdown out of the senate later on this afternoon. but the honest truth is, chris, nobody knows what will happen after that in the house. over here at the white house, meanwhile, the rhetoric is getting white hot as both sides sound like they're headed towards a shutdown. >> reporter: three days and counting and there's no compromise in sight that could avert a government shutdown. right behind that, the nation could go into default roughly two weeks later unless congress raises the debt ceiling.

despite warnings from economists of a disaster, republicans say they'll approve an increase in the debt limit only if the president agrees to their demands. like delaying obamacare by a year and more budget cuts. but president obama says he won't negotiate over the debt ceiling. >> to suggest america not pay its bills, just to try to blackmail a president into giving them some concessions on issues that have nothing to do with the budget. i mean, this is the united states of america. we're not a deadbeat nation. >> reporter: the white house is ratcheting up the rhetoric, accusing some republicans of acting like terrorists. >> we are for cutting spending, we are for reforming our tax code. we're not for negotiating with people with a bomb strapped to their chest. >> american people, this is the gop. we have your economy. >> reporter: the democratic party is echoing that message, releasing this fake debt ceiling

ransom call from the gop. >> clock's ticking. we hope you don't make us do this. >> reporter: republicans say that kind of talk is an outrage. >> it's completely unrealistic for the president to say that we're not going to negotiate over the debt ceiling. that he thinks somehow we should be giving him another blank check to continue these record deficits? >> reporter: gop leaders point to new polls showing americans want the president to negotiate. trading budget cuts for an increase to the debt ceiling. >> the president says i'm not going to negotiate. well, i'm sorry, but it just doesn't work that way. >> we call on the president now, harry reid, to sit down with us and let's solve the problem. >> reporter: cnn just got an e-mail from a house republican leadership aide that says the republicans in the house will not accept the bill that is planning to come out of the senate later on this afternoon, but the same aide tells cnn that they do not have a plan for what

happens next. they need to go back to their republican caucus, go back to republican lawmakers and see what they will accept. of course, craft some sort of legislation that can then go back to the senate but in the words of this house republican leadership aide, this is all very fluid. so, kate, buckle your seat belts. it will be a bumpy ride heading towards monday. >> a very long weekend for many lawmakers on capitol hill. >> that's right. us, too. >> which also means you. thank you so much. it's also been an important day at the united nations. members of the u.n. security council could vote today on a resolution calling on syria to eliminate all nuclear weapons. the five permanent council members have already agreed to the deal and secretary of state john kerry met with his iranian counterpart in an historic meeting between the two countries. both sides walked away with renewed focus on nuclear weapons. jim sciutto has more on what all of this means, big progress potentially on two fronts here, jim. >> no question, kate.

in a single day at the u.n., surprising progress on two of the u.s.'s most intractable challenges in the middle east, syria and iran. first, iran, the highest level talks between u.s. and iranian officials in 34 years, secretary kerry and the foreign minister zarif sitting right next to each other discussing iran's nuclear program. they also had a private meeting on the sidelines of that larger meeting. secretary kerry coming out of it said, quote, one meeting and a change in tone are not enough. the iranians have put possibilities on the table, which the iranians say they hope to implement within a year and now the u.s. is exploring those possibilities. they'll meet again in geneva next month. syria, two weeks after secretary kerry first floated the idea, the u.s. and russia reached an agreement on the u.n. resolution governing the complete elimination of syria's chemical weapons. the security council will vote as soon as tonight. key elements of that draft, syria legally obligated to allow in teams that will remove and destroy its weapons, but the

question is, enforcement. if they don't comply to impose sanctions, including military action, the u.s. would have to come back to the u.n. security council for another vote and, chris, that's a place where russia would certainly use its veto, at least regarding military action. a lot of steps to go through to see how this is implemented. >> interesting first ones taken. jim sciutto, thank you very much for the reporting this morning. question for you, did a sports rivalry lead to murder? san francisco police say it may have. a 24-year-old dodgers fan was stabbed to death following a giants/dodgers game wednesday. and now, one giants fan has been arrested. the question is, what was his motive? cnn's dan simon reports. >> reporter: fan rivalries can be intense, leading to all-out brawls like this one at a san francisco 49ers/oakland raiders game. and men aren't the only ones fighting. this happened at an l.a. clippers/utah jazz basketball game. the latest violence centers around the storied baseball

rivalry between the los angeles dodgers and san francisco giants. and this time, it turned deadly. >> i just saw the swinging and the yelling. just like arms flying everywhere. the police started showing up. i looked and saw a person laying on the ground. >> reporter: police say it happened a few hours after wednesday night's game a few blocks from the ballpark. 24-year-old jonathan denver was stabbed and killed wearing dodgers clothes. this picture taken at the game with his father, a dodgers security guard. >> the fact that anybody got in any sort of a beef over the giants and dodgers and somebody lost their life, it's just senseless. >> reporter: a 21-year-old suspect was arrested and charged with homicide. investigators say he was part of a group that wasn't even at the game. it's not clear yet how the fight started. two years ago, the rivalry led to the baeding of a 42-year-old paramedic and father. giants fan bryan stow was britically injured when he was attacked by two dodgers fans.

he suffered brain damage and will never fully recover. experts say fights like this are usually fueled by alcohol. >> when you combine passion for your sports team, too much to drink and too many people, you've got a recipe for disaster. >> reporter: san francisco's police chief has a message for fans everywhere. >> just be respectful of each other when you go to these games. remember, it's a game. >> reporter: dan simon, cnn, san francisco. >> now, the family of bryan stow is speaking out about the latest violence. his sister bonnie released this statement, we are saddened by this senseless killing and our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim's family. >> there's a lot of other news developing at this very hour. let's go to michaela for the latest hours. officials in kenya may have lucked out in finding a suspect at the mall massacre. a man acting like a victim dropped a machine gun magazine during the evacuation. he's now being held at a

military air base. interpol intensifying the search for this woman, samantha lewthwaite, known as the white widow. she's wanted in connection with the 2011 terror plot. it's unclear if she is the woman officials say was involved in the kenya mall massacre. nsa analyst caught red handed misusing the agency's surveillance power, including spying on their significant others and love interests. the agency's inspector general says since 2003 there have been a dozen substantial agencies where agency employees were caught spying on spouses and on flames. after five months of testimony, the michael jackson wrongful death trial is finally in the hands of a jury. deliberations began thursday, continue at noon eastern today. the singer's family is suing concert promoter aeg live for billions of dollars saying the concert promoter hired conrad murray and is responsible for michael jackson's death. it may not be long before

emergency. >> we'll find out. thank god they did what they did. >> yes. it's being called the miracle at mcdonald's. a man walks into a crowded mcdonald's in ft. worth, texas, pulls a gun. another bloody massacre could be right there in the making. not this time. john berman is here to tell us what happened or what didn't happen. >> it might have been a miracle, all right. it was a miraculous malfunction. a gun that appears to fail to go off repeatedly, that might be the only reason that countless people in texas are alive this morning. it was a heartstopping scene on tuesday night. according to authorities and cnn affiliate wfaa, this man, 24-year-old justin joseph walked into a ft. worth, texas mcdonald's with a gun. police say around 9:00 p.m., jos avenue proched the uncotter asking for a cup but seconds later, pulled out a gun, aiming at innocent employees and families. >> when i was seeing the guy pull a pistol out, he was yelling give me your keys and

your money, i could hear the gun clicking. he was pulling the trigger. i was a to pin him up against the wall. >> reporter: miraculously, though, the gun wouldn't fire. it simply clicked. >> pulling the trigger towards me but still, it just clicking. >> reporter: armstrong tackled the would-be gunman but joseph wrestled free and walked out, then the story gets even more unbelievable. police say joseph successfully fired off at least one shot outside before walking back into the mcdonald's to finish what he'd started. the surveillance video appears to show him aiming his gun at armstrong and others who were hiding in the back of the restaurant. police say joseph pulled the trigger again and, again, it simply clicked. the gun jammed. sparing lives. >> i've never seen a video like this before. i would say he went in there with intent to kill somebody. >> reporter: a short time later joseph was arrested and faces charges of aggravated robbery.

what armstrong has taken from this incredibly close call? >> god, god, that's all it was, god. that's all it could have been, an angel over me. >> reporter: joseph contended that he never meant to hurt anyone though i have to say looking at that video, it's hard to see that. he pulled that trigger a lot of times. there were a lot of clicks from that gun. >> obviously that begs the question, if you weren't intending to hurt anyone, what were you doing with a gun in a mcdonald's. >> pulling the trigger repeatedly. >> this may point to some type of mental illness. not to explain the actions. a former montana teacher convicted of raping a 14-year-old student is out of jail after serving just 30 days behind bars. but his legal troubles may not be over. find out why. and a florida woman sentenced to 20 years in had prison for firing a warning shot. she's getting another chance to make her case but would a key

welcome back to "new day." after just one month in prison, the former montana teacher convicted of raping a 14-year-old student is free now. people lashed out at that sentence, calling it just a slap on the wrist. also saying the judge who issued it should be fired. cnn's kyung lah is live in billings, montana with the latest. you've been following this from the beginning, kyung. where do things go from here? >> reporter: well, kate, prosecutors are hoping to return him to jail by appealing to a higher court but until all that

happens, for now, stacey rambold, waking up in his own bed this morning, the first time in a month, that's how long his controversial sentence was, and everywhere he went yesterday, cameras were following him. stacey rack bold sped out of state prison a free man, checking in with his parole officer. hi, stacey, i'm kyung lah from cnn. can i ask you a few questions? you're checking in with your parole office now? he dashed in, his head down. a short time later. can i chat with you, sir, talk about your one-month sentence? left for home, the former teacher not answering any questions from cnn about his one-month jail sentence for raping his 14-year-old student, cherice moralez. rambold was arrested in 2008. as he awaited trial, his young victim was tormented by other students who bullied her for being a rape victim. before the case was heard,

cherice moralez took her own life. to add insult to injury, the man who was supposed to represent justice, judge todd baugh, sentenced rambold to just one month behind bars, saying the teenage victim seemed older than her chronological age and was as much in control as the then 49-year-old rambold. the judge who also repeatedly ducked cnn's questions has since admitted the sentence may have been illegal, state laws mandate a two-year minimum for this crime. rambold is now a registered sex offender and he faces this long list of probation and parole conditions. 59 of them to be exact. he can't be around children, go to a bar, get on the internet or even open up a checking account. and what's more, this may not be the end of his legal story. prosecutors filed an appeal with the state supreme court and hope to put him back behind bars. >> i see hope on the horizon. i think as long as we know that it's happening, we can

acknowledge it and we can do something to change it. >> reporter: hoping to finally find justice that has so far failed cherice moralez. that appeal won't take -- will happen at a slower pace than at least this community would like. kate and chris, it could take 6 to 18 months before it is heard. chris, kate? >> as you mentioned, kyung, it's a small community and it has been rocked by this sentence and all of the attention on it. thanks so much. another case when we come back on "new day," that has generated a lot of outrage for different reasons. the woman you're looking at right there said she was afraid she was going to be beat up by a spouse who had beaten her up in the past. she fired a warning shot. no one was injured. 20 years, the sentence. now she's getting a chance for a new trial. we'll take you through it. how about this one? how about a salad instead of those fries? it's not just a personal choice anymore. it seems it may be good business. mcdonald's is revamping its

menu. we'll tell you how. >> this is one of the craziest things i've ever heard you say. >> what? a writer and a performer. ther, i'm also a survivor of ovarian and uterine cancers. i even wrote a play about that. my symptoms were a pain in my abdomen and periods that were heavier and longer than usual for me. if you have symptoms that last two weeks or longer, be brave, go to the doctor. ovarian and uterine cancers are gynecologic cancers. symptoms are not the same for everyone. i got sick... and then i got better.

blame for changes in rising sea levels and ground temperatures which are said to be unprecedented. scientists say they're 95% certain on their findings the surest they've ever been. the clock keeps ticking. three days and counting until a potential government shutdown. in about five hour's time, the senate will vote on a spending bill on obamacare and keeps the government operating. the newly crowned miss teen usa caught up in a sextortion case. a college tune has been charged with hijacking webcams of young women, including miss teen usa, miss cassidy wolf and taking nude pictures of them as they undressed. he allegedly blackmailed his victims by sending nude photos, threatening to expose them. the former owners of a now defunct colorado cantaloupe farm are facing federal charges from

self-defense against a spouse who had abused her in the past. she's getting a new trial now but her defense is ham strung by florida ago controversial stand your ground law. we'll talk to her attorney but first a look back at her story. marissa alexander says she's thrilled for her second chance at freedom. the mother of three was convicted of aggravated assault and sentenced to 20 years in prison after firing a single bullet into the wall to scare off her husband whom she says was abusive. >> he managed to get the door open. and that's when he strangled me. he put his hands around my neck. >> reporter: her husband, rico gray, had previously been arrested for domestic abuse. following an argument in 2010, alexander says she believed she was doing what was allowed by florida law, standing her ground, and protecting herself. >> he saw my weapon at my side and when he saw it, he was even more upset and that's when he threatened to kill me.

>> reporter: when alexander tried to use this stand your ground law she was turned down by a judge. the issue, alexander could have left through the front door during the altercation, they said. instead, she went to the garage to get her car but says she forgot her keys and became trapped. >> i sentence you to 20 years in florida state prison. >> reporter: though she injured no one, she was convicted by a jury after just 12 minutes after deliberation. now an appeals judge has ruled the jury was given incorrect instructions regarding alexander's self-defense claim. she will get a new trial but still won't be allowed to claim stand your ground. >> the reaction is the same as it usually is, okay, there's a need to send the case back. it comes back. >> reporter: but for marissa alexander, it's a new chance for freedom. >> this is my life i'm fighting for. this is my life, not entertainment. this is my life. >> strong point. 20 years on the line. for more insight into the case, let's bring in the attorney for

marissa alexander, faith gaye. thank you. >> good morning. >> she's very upset there. what does this news mean to your klein the? >> she just received the news yesterday and she's ecstatic, grateful that the system actually worked for her. she's extremely grateful to her family and friends for standing by her. she's hopeful in the next few weeks she'll be able to see her children again. >> new trial, no new evidence for stand your ground. >> there's no chance for stand your ground. she can assert her self-defense defense at her trial. it's a better trial than before. this time she doesn't have to prove self-defense, which is what it was wrong with the first trial. >> now, it is so wrong, even a lousy lawyer such as myself, my eyes open wide when i saw the instruction. were you aware at the time of jury instructions, what do you

mean, the burden of proof is on her to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she defended herself. it's obviously wrong. how did this happen? >> obviously it's not the american way to make you prove your owe defense. in this country and in florida, they have to prove it. the jury instructions just moved around in a way that made her prove that her estranged, violent ex-husband was aing toing her. she doesn't have to prove anything. now in a second trial that will be the case. >> you know, just so you're all clear at home. there were basely two errors made by the judge in the instructions. the one talked about the victim's injury. there was no allegation of an injury. the instruction didn't need to be there. the big point was, that marissa alexander had the burden of proof to prove beyond a reasonable doubt she was defending herself. obviously as you know, the burden is on the prosecution. was that something you left in there, if this goes the wrong way, we know this was a bad instruction. >> we didn't try the case. we took it on appeal. >> how did they not know at that time?

>> i think it was a standard florida jury instruction which has been clarified for these circumstances. >> all right. so the sentence, this really wasn't about what happened at trial, it was about the sentence involved. the prosecutor is the same prosecutor as the george zimmerman case. >> yes, it is. >> there was a lot of speculation about this was the wrong charge, it was too harsh because it triggered a 10 or 20 mandatory minimum sentence. >> the prosecutor in every situation always has discretion on what kind of charge to bring. surely that's the case. and i think you're right to emphasize the statute, the mandatory minimums in florida. there is no choice once the statute was used, to charge that when the conviction came there was a 20-year sentence. the mandatory minimum statute is just as problematic for some folks as stand your ground. >> the prosecutor says my hands were tied. i offered a deal. she didn't take the deal. if she lost at trial it had to be this. but how much of that had to be? do you see it's a function of

what the naacp and others were put out there because marissa alexander is african-american. fair allegation? >> i can't comment on that. but i will say this, prosecutors always have the discretion to fit the facts to the crime they charge. and that discretion could be obviously used now, just like it could have been used back then. we are hopeful there will be a new exercise of discretion now. >> what do you think happens in this trial? how confident are you? >> very confident. obviously the jury instructions will favor us in a way they always do for defendants. it's the same playing rules that should always apply. we feel good. >> it doesn't have to be she thought he was going to kill her, she feared there was going to be a felony about to be committed, she was about to be hurt. >> again, she doesn't have to prove that now. the government has to. >> right. she doesn't have to prove anything. >> right. >> she has to throw doubt on the case of the prosecution? >> exactly. that's correct. >> what do you think will happen here? >> the first thing that will happen, we'll make a bail

application. maybe she can get home and see her family. >> what are the chances? >> should be good. >> she's not convicted if there's a new trial. what's the grounds for keeping her? >> the seriousness of the charge and certainly the prosecution will cite past record and her altercations with her violent ex-husband. >> doesn't it matter that it was a warning shot? i get that it's aggravated battery. >> you're making my arguments for me. she should get out, yes. >> we'll stay on this, follow it. there's a lot of intrigue wrapped up in this. to a lot of people it seems unfair. i know it's careful for you to discuss when you have a trial upcoming. >> we're grateful the system worked here. >> we'll see how it works going forward. >> exactly. >> kate, over to you. thanks so much. coming up next on "new day," healthier food options at your fast food -- favorite fast food stop? mcdonald's is giving adults and kids more nutritional options but will you buy it? we'll have a look at some of the new offersings. also ahead, will you be

welcome back to "new day." mcdonald's is working on a big menu revamp. you probably want to know about it. instead of the would you like fries with that question, you may hear would you like a salad instead? the largest fast food chain in the world is adding more health conscious items to their menus, especially when talking about happy meals. here to talk about this, christine romans as well as a doctor. good morning. some of the options, we have a full screen, their talking about

offering salad, fruit, or vegetable as part of their value menus instead of fries. of course you can still get fries. you have juice, low-fat milk and water. those will be promoted as being offered in part of happy meals. you can't also still get the soda. a lot of this is going to be about promotion. mcdonald's said they'll be promoting fruit and vegetables in fun ways to grab attention. how much of a difference is this going to make, do you think? >> i think this will make a big difference, i really do. obesity is an epidemic. it trulli is. 33% of all american adults are obese. 17% of all young people, kids an adolescents. we know obesity leads to heart disease, stroke and diabetes and billions of dollars are spent on this condition, these medical conditions. obesity is a complex issue. we can't say that diet alone will change this epidemic. it's a big start. what we eat is a big part of

this. i think this is a great trend. i'm glad to see it. i hope we see more of this in other restaurants. >> let's look at one example, fries versus salad. this is one of the options you can get in your value meal. small fry, 20 -- 230 calories, 11 grams of fat. side salad, 20 calories, 0 grams of fat and saturated fat. this is common sense. i know people are saying this at home. what do you recommend to a parent coming into your office who has a child who may be struggling with weight. >> yes. >> childhood obesity is an epidemic in this country. >> on a weekly basis i see kids in middle school that are over 200 pounds. >> wow. >> it blows your mind. it blows my mind, actually. the first thing is, parents need to be educated about the new choices. 230 calories in a small fry

versus none in a side salad. you have to be careful of the dressing and things like that. you mentioned the fat and saturated fat. the saturated fat is what we are concerned about when we talk about heart disease. that may not seem like a lot, 1.5 grams but if we can drop it down to 0, that's far away better. >> especially when you eat it over and over and over again. in a lot of places fast food is the only option. mcdonald's is good at business. it might be a good idea but is it good business. >> tastes are shifting. any good business will figure how to tweak your business model. tastes are shifting. subway is going after women and being successful. millennials prefer panera and chipotle. what will mcdonald's going to do

to get those who like healthier options. sales are flat. mcdonald's is seeing this competition from around and is going to have to figure out ho to roll this out, give more options but not alienate the core hamburgers and french fry option. they have to be careful not to eat into, pardon the pun, the core audience at the same time they're trying to try new things. >> you've seen attempts at healthy options at other fast food chains in the past. they can fall flat. but it is a different time as you point out. christine romans, dr. jennifer connell, thank you. >> i can't wait to have carrots with my big mac. >> does answer. they called it the land of enchantment. in the next up said of "parts unknown" anthony bourdain travels to mexico to find out why. here's a little taste of that. >> what have we learned in the

wide open spaces of the great american southwest, new mexico? we've learned that after you've had a couple of margaritas, when you move on to shots, that's when things go seriously wrong. i made a mistake, i'm paying for it. don't do as i do, kids. get off my lawn, you kids. my face is burning off. this is what america really is. >> it's just going to get prettier. >> i regret that with all the ufo activity here at no point was i probed nor did anyone attempt to probe me. i'm a little hurt. >> man, oh, man, i'll tell you, even if you didn't like tony bourdain or food, that show is

so well shot that you can watch it just for that. you can watch the next episode of "parts unknown" sunday the 29th at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. >> who doesn't like food? >> everybody likes it. >> that was a -- >> i don't know about tony bourdain but everybody likes food. >> we've agreed on that. coming up next on "new day," his hard-line republican politics made tom delay a household name. a scandal hit him hard and forced him from office. now his conviction thrown out. is he vindicated? is he angry? we'll ask him in the next hour. why is zack spanking justin bieber? u you'll find out. >> stop. this was the hardest decision i've ever had to make. jim, i adore the pool at your hotel.

apple, everyone is ditching cabs and taxi trains and everyone is cycling around town. against our better judgment, chris, kate and i decided to try it for ourselves. the girls might have had a little fun at chris' expense, maybe. that would never happen. >> did we survive? questionable. >> the drama ahead. >> i thought it was a fun day. there you have it. before we get to that we have an eye opening report from the united nations this morning placing the blame for climate change squarely on you, the changes in sea levels, temperatures in melting ice are evidently man made thanks to driving cars, coal and oil fired power plants and there's not much that can stop the trend. we're covering all the angles on this story, chad myers will have more from miami. we start with indra petersons in our studio. >> the biggest thing coming out of this is the percentage. does climate change exist and is it caused by humans? scientists from the ipcc panel are saying they are 95% certain

that it exists and most of it is existing due to human contributions. that's a big change if you look back at 2001 where they were only 66% sure. that is the big takeaway from this. let's talk about what we're talking about, very likely changes have occurred in the senses warmer days and warmer nights and the fact that is caused by humans. people say what about tropical storms, hurricanes? they have low confidence in both areas for that. we talk about sea level, still likely that we're seeing a change and that humans are responsible for that change. i think the one thing most of us understand, yes, we have carbon, it is going up and therefore we're talking about temperatures about one degree fahrenheit. everyone says who is putting out this report, it's part of the u.n., talking about 1,000 experts from around the world chosen by their own peers, so very highly respected scientists and then the report why does it matter? this is the report all the politicians will be using around the world to make policies and

make effective change moving forward. so that's the key here. again, we talked about what everyone knows we have been warming since 1950. well, you want to learn that and realize if we're warming, then the water actually expands. if you understand that and realize we continue to pump carbon into the atmosphere at the highest rate we're talking about another three feet of the water rising in just the year 0 2100. if we don't put out any carbon completely we still have effects. we're still going to be rising about another foot. now this right here is one of the controversial things everyone is talking about. it only has to deal with water warming that's already existing, but there's another factor here. if the water, the temperature rises you're going to melt more ice, you're going to add more water and that warmer water expands and could you be talking about 20 feet more higher sea level. so that's the controversy, is this not bullish enough. >> let's talk about the sea levels, indra, thank you so much. with all that information the

focus shifts to what do we do about it? the last five years examples of cities near water sustaining major damage so what's the right approach to keeping cities near the shoreline safe? for that let's go to cnn meteorologist chad myers in miami this morning, taking a look at this side of the story. good morning, chad. >> reporter: good morning, kate. it appears you can build things higher and higher and higher and houses high on stilts but the problem is we have an ocean that's warming. if you have a depth of an ocean of two, three five miles deep think about a thermometer, five miles tall and warm it up, the top of the thermometer, that level, that mercury, that alcohol is going up just like any thermometer so our sea level is going up as well, that's what we're experiencing on a regular day. moment beach floods without gettige miami beach floods without getting any rain. the ocean is rising quicker than decades back and scientists make the situation sound pretty dire. >> by the mid part of the

century, 2050, 2060, most of the barrier islands in the world are going to have to be evacuated. >> reporter: that includes miami. it's hard to imagine iconic miami beach deserted but it's obvious rising water is already a common problem. on a sunny day a high tide is enough to flood streets. >> we live on limestone like porous sponge. we can't use levees to hold back the water. >> reporter: many experts say there's no way to stop it. >> we saw barricades because the water sits there during high tide. put one more foot of water on top of this, one foot sea level rise from here from miami waebe what does that look like? every single street that's blue will have water in it if we get a one foot rise in sea level. >> and if we get king tides it will be higher than this but this is essentially showing you the places that are going to be

affected first. >> the important thing is, is to keep observing what's happening, look at all the ranges and projections, and then come back to the policymakers and say here is the actions you have to take. >> the southeast florida climate change compact has been changed to mitigate the consequences of cry mat chan climate change. >> they're not sticking their heads in the sand. they know this is a real problem. >> reporter: chris, even at low tide some parts of miami, some parts of miami beach in hollywood only about a foot above sea level so when it rains and you put three or four inches of rain on the streets it takes forever, it takes hours for that water to run off. sometimes it takes an entire high tide cycle for that water to run off and it takes 12 or 14 hours for that batter to go away. it is a mess and it's not getting better. the warmer ocean is still going up and people here know it. >> all right, chad, appreciate the reporting this morning. thank you for it. one thing's for sure, the disaster brewing in the nation's

capital is completely manmade. imagine just three days until we have to prevent a government shutdown. today the senate is expected to vote on a short term spending bill without the language from the house defunding obama care. if that bill passes, it still has to go straight back to the republican-controlled house setting up another shutdown showdown. let's go live to cnn's jim aos acosta at the white house. >> reporter: senate democrats are confident they will get a bill out of the senate later on this afternoon that will avoid a government shutdown and continue funding the government perhaps until the middle of november but the honest truth is, after that, chris, nobody knows what will happen in the house. house republicans even admit that. meanwhile, over here at the white house, the rhetoric is getting white hot as both sides sound like they're heading towards a shutdown. three days and counting and there is no compromise in sight that could avert a government shutdown and right behind that

september 30th shutdown deadline, the nation could go into default roughly two weeks later unless congress raises the debt ceiling, despite warnings from economists of a disaster, republicans say they'll approve an increase in the debt limit only if the president agrees to their demands like delaying obama care by a year and more budget cuts but president obama says he won't negotiate over the debt ceiling. >> to suggest america not pay its bills just to try to blackmail a president into giving them some concessions on issues that have nothing to do with the budget. i mean, this is the united states of america. we're not a deadbeat nation. >> reporter: the white house is ratcheting up the rhetoric accusing some republicans of acting like terrorists. >> we are for cutting spending, tax reform but we're not negotiating with people with a bomb strapped to their chest. >> american people, this is the

gop. we have your economy. >> reporter: the democratic party is echoing that message, releasinging this fake debt ceiling ransom call from the gop. >> clock's ticking. we hope you don't make us do this. [ dial tone ] >> reporter: republicans say that kind of talk is an outrage. >> it's completely unrealistic for the president to say we're not going to negotiate over the debt ceiling, that he thinks somehow that we should be just giving him another blank check to continue these record deficits. >> reporter: gop leaders point to new polls showing americans want the president to negotiate trading budget cuts for an increase to the debt ceiling. >> the president says i'm not going to negotiate. well, i'm sorry, but it just doesn't work that way. >> we call on the president now to sit down with us, harry reid, to sit down with us and let's solve the problem. >> reporter: a house republican leadership aide tells cnn they do not have a plan at this point as to what happens next, when

the senate is expected to pass that continuing resolution to continue to fund the government. this republican leadership aide tells cnn they are going to have to see what republican lawmakers can accept, what they can get in order to find 218 votes to get something passed out of the house, but kate, i talked to this aid and he said at this point things are "very fluid" and it is expected to be that way throughout the weekend. kate? >> it also sounds at least looking from the outside in that there are no negotiations going on anywhere. >> that's right. >> we are three days away. >> reporter: at this point you're right. that's right. >> jim, you'll be working hard this weekend, thank you. >> reporter: okay. we have major developments in critical middle east hot spots. the u.n. preparing to vote on a legally binding resolution requiring syria to surrender their chemical weapons stockpiles. meanwhile the u.s. and iran held face-to-face talks for the first time in over three decades, with both sides agreeing to meet again next month.

let's talk about this with cnn's chief national security correspondent jim sciutto live in washington this morning. can we call this progress? >> we can and kate we're unot used to seeing progress but it's going to now move more quickly. the highest level talks between u.s. and iranian officials in 34 years, secretary kerry and mohammad zarif discussing iran's nuclear program and they had a private meeting on the sidelines. secretary kerry said "one meeting and a change in tone are not enough" but he did say the iranians put some possibilities on the table which iran hopes to implement within a year. now the u.s. is exploring those possibilities and u.s. and iranian officials will be meeting again next month. syria two weeks after secretary kerry, the u.s. and russia reached agreement on a u.n.

resolution governing the complete elimination of chemical weapons. the security council will vote on that as soon as tonight and a team of experts will travel to syria to make preparations for inspectors arriving there. enforcement still an issue if syria doesn't comply to impose sanctions including military action, the u.s. would have to go back to the u.n. security council for another vote and that's a place where we can expect russia to veto any military action so lots of challenges ahead. >> i hope that means we're not back to square one again. >> at least they're talking. jim, thank you very much for the reporting. >> thanks, jim. a lot of news going on. right to michaela for the latest. mick? >> interpol issued a red alert looking for samantha lewthwaite saying she is a terrorist and helped carry out the attacks in nairo

there's doughnuts in the conference room. automatic discounts the moment you sign up. welcome back to you. former house majority leader tom delay is making headlines once again. delay resigned in scandal in 2006 after 20 years in congress. just last week his conviction for money laundering was

overturned. he's going to join us live in just a moment with his attorney but first a look at the man they call the hammer. tom delay was once one of its most powerful men in washington. the congressman from texas was newt gingrich's lieutenant in the republican revolution of 1994 when the gop stormed back to take control of the house. later that decade, delay was one of the leaders behind the impeachment of president bill clinton. >> the president has established a pattern of conduct of lying, of covering up, of stonewalling, of attacking his opponents. i just think that if the president wants to put this behind him, he ought to do the honorable thing and that is to resign. >> reporter: by 2013 he'd climbed even higher, becoming the majority leader in the house, but two years later, the man known as the hammer was indicted for trying to influence local elections in texas. >> this morning, in an act of

blatant political partisanship, a rogue district attorney in travis county, texas, named ronnie earle charged me with one count of criminal conspiracy, a reckless charge wholly unsupported by the facts. >> reporter: delay stepped down from congress the next year and was convicted in 2010. >> what's it like to go through all this? >> it's tough. what can you say? >> reporter: last week, vindication for delay as his conviction on money laundering charges was overturned. an appeals court finding the evidence against him legally insufficient. joining us from hue on it is former house majority leader tom delay along with his attorney mr. brian weiss. thank you, gentlemen, good to have you both here. >> good morning, chris. >> good morning, chris. >> congressman, i saw your family emotional there. did you start to believe that this day may never come?

>> well, it did seem bleak back then, but we've known all along that this was a trumped up charge by a rogue district attorney in austin, texas, and we knew that once we got out of travis county, that i would be exonerated and that's what's happening. >> do you feel that it is fair to criticize you for having done anything wrong in this situation? >> not at all. i didn't do anything wrong. i certainly did launder money. i was indicted on a law that, frankly, doesn't even exist in texas. >> mr. weiss, are you worried about appeal on the state side? do you think they'll keep going? >> i think they have to. i think they've lost face. any time you take the kind of beating in the court of appeals that they took in a case of this magnitude, they're going to go as far as they can, but i've clerked at the court of criminal appeals, argued there a number of times, followed court since

the summer of '42, i'm cautiously optimistic the judges will see there's nothing about this case, chris that, warrants their intervention as the state's highest court for criminal matters. >> congressman, again your daughter was upset about this, disgraceful for you, but there has been criticism that you didn't actually serve time in jail. you remained out of jail during this process. fair criticism? >> no, i'm not guilty, and i've been acquitted on the facts of the case, and the fact that the prosecution never presented evidence proceeds of a criminal activity and without proceeds from criminal activity, there's no money laundering, so i shouldn't serve time because i'm not guilty. >> what is this period -- >> chris, anybody that didn't sleep through civics class, chris, recognizes that unless the government presents proof beyond a reasonable doubt as to every element of the offense you go home and the beauty, one of the protections of the system is that you're entitled to bond

pending appeal unless and until a court of appeals has decided that your case doesn't present any reversible error and thank goodness that tom was able to live his life over the course of the last two and a half years while we finally got what we wanted which is a level playing field. you know, gregory peck said to kill a mockingbird the one place any man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom. it took us two and a half years, we did it, we're confident, that's something it will ultimately be the lasting mark in tom's case. >> the most important question for you if the case is blind you is, is the hammer back? are you going to get back in the game? are we going to see you back in d.c.? >> well, i know the democrats thought they had me down and out but i've been working all through these eight long years of being under this cloud, and yeah, i'm coming back, working on a book called "shutter down" talking about constitutional revival. i never left and i won't leave and i'll keep fighting for what i believe in.

>> shutter down, you lived through the '90s with newt gingrich, you know shutdowns, i know that's not the reference to the book but i'll use it as a segue anyway because that's what do you on tv, what do you make of the current efforts going on in washington, d.c. do you advice pushing a shutdown as leverage? >> no. shutdown is not what you want, but there f there say shutdown, this notion that it hurts the republicans is totally wrong, because in 1995, we won. we won the budget cuts we won it. we showed bill clinton that we'd take him off a cliff and got welfare reform, balanced budget and we won seats in the next election. i don't know where they come up with this notion that a shutdown hurts republicans. >> because newt took a beating in popularity, the president's numbers soared at the time, president clinton ended up driving a lot of the debate. what is your advice to colleagues in washington, d.c.,

what do you give them as advice? >> chris, my advice is hold firm, stick to your guns, stand strong, and you'll ultimately win. >> even if you wind up screwing up the credit of the united states of america, what if that happens? >> it won't end up screwing up the credit of america. we're very strong. we're still the strongest economy in the world, that is all false notion. every shutdown and there's been many shutdowns, frankly, the american people never miss the government. >> i hear you on that. of course the debt ceiling a different issue but congressman delay thank you for sharing time with us on "new day." good luck to you going forward. mr. weiss always good to see you. beautiful tie. >> thanks, chris. >> thank you, chris. >> kate over to you. coming up next on "new day," michael j. fox back in prime time on his own show. nischelle turner looks at how the show tackles his parkinson's

disease and the mix of laughs and inspiration. also remember that brave little boy who asked santa to stop kids from bullying his sister? well it looks like santa answered sending some very devoted people to help. it's the good stuff, ahead. hey linda! what are you guys doing? having some fiber! with new phillips' fiber good gummies. they're fruity delicious! just two gummies have 4 grams of fiber! to help support regularity! i want some...
