me. life is good. i envy you, zach zamboni. and we're out. nice end. ♪ diplomacy can be so powerful, it can peacefully defuse the worst weapons of war. >> it seemed impossible two weeks ago, but new this morning, there is now a deal on how to proceed with syria's chemical weapons. i spoke on the phone with president rouhani of the islamic republic of iran. >> it was an historic moment, 34 years in the making. but does a phone call between president obama and rouhani

really mean iran is ready to negotiate? and have you seen this, kanye versus kimmel in a twitter war that has gone viral. but is this rivalry really for real. that's in today's pop 4. >> they're just wanting us to talk about them. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. cnn headquarters. this is "new day saturday." we have a packed show this morning. one thing that is really gettinging a lot of attention is the nfl, they're going on the road. by the road, we mean across pond. steelers/vikings. >> by the boat. >> they're playing in london. our metadavies gave the players a little quiz. >> it doesn't go so well. >> no. here's one hit, alex is not a member of the royal family, people. >> not that we know of.

unless there's some big scandal. he's not the newest member at least. >> and a little confusion who fergie is. first up, the u.n. security council finally tackling the conflict raging in syria. passing a resolution to rid the country of its chemical weapons. diplomats took a victory lap last night after that vote. >> tonight with a strong and forceable precedent-setting resolution requiring syria to give up its chemical weapons, the united states nations security townes has demonstrated that diplomacy can be so powerful it can peacefully defuse the worst weapons of war. >> some of the weapons? yes. the bloody civil war, maybe not. cnn foreign affairs reporter elise lavic joins us from new york. elise, what does this mean, this

victory lap, what does it mean for syria? >> well, victor, it gives syria a binding resolution. the first time the council has acted in 2 1/2 years to make sure syria can do anything. give up its chemical weapons, a very tight timetable for that. and it also makes sure that they could have unimpeded access from u.n. inspectors. so it really kind of puts them on the hook, if you will. but also puts in consequences, if they don't comply. >> okay. so consequences, a very vague term that the countries have agreed to. >> right. >> does that mean that military action is or is not on the table? >> well this resolution doesn't explicitly call for military action if syria violates the terms. that's something the u.s. really wanted. russia, as you know, a permanent member of the security council and has that veto power said no way. but there is something in the resolution that says it kicks it

back to the security council if syria does not comply, if it violates the terms. and last night, russia said that if syria does in fact violate, it will vote to impose consequences. >> all right. consequences still on the table. elise labott in new york. thank you. a 15-minute phone call is making history. >> and it's ending decades of silence between the u.s. and iran. at the white house, president obama telephoned iran's new president hassan rouhani yesterday. susan rise told cnn's fareed zakaria how it came about. was it friendly or business-like? >> i'd say cordial and constructive. obviously, when you have two leaders from two countries that have not communicated to that level for almost 35 years, it's something of a groundbreaking

event. but they both conveyed their commitment to try to explore in a constructive manner the diplomatic path. we've made very clear, the president has long reiterated, including this week at the general assembly, that the united states will not tolerate iran with a nuclear weapon. >> now, this president's historic conversation, focused on iran's nuclear program. and cnn's correspondent jim sciutto has more for us. >> reporter: it was just a 15-minute phone call, but one that was 34 years in the making. >> the very fact that this was the first communication between an american and iranian president since 1979 underscores the deepness trust between our countries but it also indicates the prospect of moving beyond that difficult history. >> reporter: the prospect of reaching an agreement on iran's nuclear program seemed out of reach just weeks ago. >> while there will surely be

important obstacles to moving forward, and success is by no means guaranteed, i believe we can reach a comprehensive solution. >> reporter: a sentiment echoed by iranian president hassan rouhani who tweeted word of his call with obama before the president confirmed it. rouhani ended a week-long charm offensive in new york with a promise to submit a plan on iran's nuclear program by next month. >> translator: i assure you that on the iranian side this will is there fully 1 oors% that in a very short period of time there will be a settlement on the nuclear issue. >> reporter: president rouhani then denied critics' charges that renewed negotiations were just one more delay tactic so iran could secretly work toward a nuclear bomb. >> translator: we have never chosen deceit as a path. we have never chosen secrecy. >> reporter: we spoke with a member of the inner circle vice president and minister of

culture mohammed ali najafi. >> translator: if one doesn't respond, naturally this will reach a dead end. >> they said it was cordial in tone and both leaders decided to resolve peacefully and expeditiously. although they did speak through an interpreter. rouhani said "have a nice day "account in english and obama said in farsi. >> jim sciutto, thank you very much. on twitter, yes, on twitter, he said he had a, quote, super busy week. he certainly did, speaking at the united nations general assembly. that history-making phone call with president obama. a lot of people are wondering how do iranians feel about all of this, cnn's reza is there

right now. is there a concern after 34 years that this kind of diplomacy is happening too far? >> reporter: christi, we haven't picked up any concern or worry, in fact, it's the opposite. from the iranians that we talked to, they get the impression, they can't have this happen fast enough. they're elated and thrilled that these two presidents have made contact by phone. the news is making headlines here this morning. this paper says the phone conversation between rouhani and obama. and then this english language paper that says "iran's eyes better ties with the u.s." really a wave of new found hope and optimism that started when president rouhani took office on august 3rd. he came in and he made his agenda clear. he said his goal is to improve relations with the u.s. and western powers by addressing any reasonable concerns anyone had

with iran's nuclear program. now, nothing concrete has happened. but the fact that everyone's talking about possibility, the fact that hassan rouhani has managed to get a u.s. president to call him on the phone for the first time since 1979, that's what has people buzzing here in optimism, seemingly president hassan rouhani, along with president barack obama has said the stage for something to map and perhaps that's why president rouhani probably is the most popular man in iran, christi. >> does president rouhani have the backing of the supreme leader and how much weight does that carry, obviously? >> reporter: at this point, all indications are that the supreme leader ayatollah khamenei is on board. and all indications are that hardline factions are on board as well. because, remarkably, we haven't heard any criticism aimed at hassan rouhani.

but this is a critical point. the point that gets lost in the hype and media publicity surrounding the phone call of hassan rouhani. and that is because when it comes to the core position of the nuclear program, rouhani hasn't shifted positions. he still maintains that iran will continue its peaceful nuclear program. they will continue to enrich uranium. they've said they're willing to make concessions. could that be suspended enrichment at 20%? could that be opening up for broader inspections? if so, they want something stable in return. they want to be respected. they want to be treated as equals. they want the u.s. to recognize their right to enrich uranium. and finally, this is perhaps most important to iranian they want some of those crippling economic sanctions to be eased. >> reza, thank you for bringing that from tehran this morning. >> let's talk about this from an interesting perspective with the

phone call between the u.s. and iran i want to bring in kevin herminie right now he was the youngest the 52 captives taken hostage in 1979 that froze the iranny/and u.s. relationship. at the time, president carter called the tactics of the terrorists blackmail and terrorism. kevin joins us by phone from milwaukee. it's good to have you as part of this conversation. i'll first want to start with, when you heard about this conversation between the presidents, what was your reaction? >> well, my first reaction is that the iranian people certainly are very much interested in a thawing of relations between the two countries as i think many americans are. but as as always, any type of negotiation requires a discussion, a dialogue between two honest brokers.

and the united states gave up an awful lot to retrieve the 52 americans, including my 51 colleagues and mine from iran more than 30 years ago. and the iranians really never paid any type of price. now, you might say, others might say, well, there's been international crippled sanctions between the country. the truth of the matter is, the country -- the country of iran -- the truth of the matter is, the iranians have a responsibility to look internally, and look to free christian pastors such as sayid alba deni. international travelers such as senator evans and others. >> you wrote, if i could, you said back on on the 30th anniversary of the release to elaborate on this point of

honest brokers, it makes our government look ridiculous whether it's negotiating for the release of 52 americans held hostage for an attempt for get iran nuclear weapons. do you think this is a position of weakness that the president has taken by extending his hand in some way through these talks through the foreign minister and the secretary of state thus far? >> no. anytime you engage in discussions, does not mean you're engage in it from a position of weakness. it's what the results end up being. it's what takes place as a result of those negotiations and negotiations, i believe that the president of the united states needs to have the interest of the u.s. in mind. the american people in mind. freedom and democracy is paramount. and the iranian people have really been suffering for a long time under the iron fist of islamic fundamentalism.

and it's interesting, the u.s. government continues, even under the president and this administration to label the country of iran and government as the primary state sponsor of international terrorism. so, clearly, there's a little bit of a disconnect there but i do think if we can reach out and to begin this all right. same-sex couples across new jersey, they're celebrating this weekend. following a judge's ruling that the state has to allow same-sex marriages beginning october 21st. >> we've been waiting a very long time. we've been waiting if we look, 24 years ago, we couldn't imagine this was possible. >> they got engaged just minutes

after the ruling was announced. the leader of the group that sued to make the change called the decision, quote, amazingly strong. i should point out that new jersey's governor chris christie said he will appeal the ruling after weeks of talk. and talk and talk. >> and luster. >> yes. >> it's time for tea party republicans, listen, you've got to put up or shut up >> shut down the government, and blink and walk away from their fight to kill obama care. >> live from washington, you're watching "new day saturday" on cnn. ♪ mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

refusing to go along with that. back to the senate. republican senator ted cruz urged his house colleagues to hang tough. >> i am confident if the house listens to the people as it did last week, that it can continue to step forward and respond to the suffering that is coming from obama care. it was striking today. it was sad to see senate democrats together turn a blind ear to all of the people who were suffering because of obama care. >> let's bring in cnn's erin mcpike, she's in washington for us this morning. erin, so it's a blame game. i think everybody knows that. who will the american people blame for this shutdown? >> victor, a lot of people are saying that house republicans will be to blame simply because house republicans have forced the defunding of obama care to be tied to this bill. that funds the government. now polls seem to show that this public is siding slightly more with the president. his approval rating is about 45%

in the most recent cnn poll. the approval rating for congress is much lower than that. but, victor, right now, we're seeing both sides blame each other. there's been talk of grandstanding on both sides. here's what president obama had to say about congressional republicans yesterday. >> i realize that a lot of what's taking place right now is political grandstanding, but this grandstanding has real effects on real people. >> now, speaker boehner's office said much the same thing about president obama, just yesterday. speaker boehner's spokesman graham bucks said grandstanding won't bring congress any closer to a resolution. speaker boehner said himself he doesn't want to negotiate. he thinks the president has to do that. here's what he had to say yesterday. >> now, the president says i'm not going to negotiate. well, i'm sorry, but it just doesn't work that way.

"saturday night live" is back with a bunch of new faces. we'll have a preview.

before you get to saturday night, we say good saturday morning to you. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. saturday, 7:00, on the east coast. this is "new day saturday." the u.n. security council passeded a resolution last night designed to remove those weapons by the middle of next year. >> tonight, with a strong and forceable precedent-setting resolution requiring syria to give up its chemical weapons, the united nations security council has demonstrated that diplomacy can be so powerful it can peacefully defuse the worst weapons of war. >> so the vote puts an end to talk of a military strike at least for the time being but cnn's foreign affairs reporter elise labbot joins me with more. elise, good to see you. who is this a win for?

is it the u.s., for russia, for everyone? >> well, christi, the u.s. and the international community would say it's an end to use of chemical weapons in syria. some supporters of that would say it's a win for assad because as you said, there's no military action, this doesn't do anything to address the syrian civil war and the 100,000 people that were already killed but it does have very strict measures in place to make sure that the syrians get rid of their chemical weapons. >> okay, but if the syrians do not, what is the repercussion? >> well, good question. it doesn't -- this revolution doesn't expressly authorize the use of force if syria violates it but what it does, it kicks back to the u.n. security council where they would then vote again to impose measures under chapter 7 of the u.n. which, you know, implicitly is the threat of the use of force. and president obama has also

said that the unilateral use of force by the u.s. is not off the table. so if they violate, then it goes back to the u.n. security council. as you know, russia is a permanent member of the council, has veto power and has been really the stumbling block over the last two years from getting the u.n. to act on syria but russia is now saying that as syria does violate, its willing to go along with consequences. we'll just have to see how syria is does. >> elise labbot, thank you so much. live in new york. now to diplomacy of a different kind. the u.s. and iran breaking decades of silence between the two nations in a matter of 15 minutes. president obama picked up the phone at the white house yesterday and called iranian president hassan rue wantny. it happened when rouhani was on his way to the airport on his way home from the u.n. assembly. this is how the president described their history-making conversation. listen. >> the two of us discussed our ongoing efforts to reach an

agreement over iran's nuclear program. i reiterated to president rouhani, what i said in new york, that while there will surely be important obstacles to moving forward and success is by no less guaranteed i believe we can reach a comprehensive solution. >> so on twitter, iran's president said there is a way to rapidly solve the way. let's talk about that weigh and the solution with kareem satchator. we'll start with the question people across the globe are asking can iran, hassan rouhani, and the supreme leader, can they be trusted? >> well, it's too early to say. this is a big deal, after 35 years, the president of united states and iran had a phone

conversation which may seem mundane between presidents of other nations but the u.s. and iran, this is a big deal. ten years ago, a journalist in iran could go to prison for advocating talks for america. this was the first step of what could be a very long journey. and the question is whether iran is interested in making a major shift in its foreign policy after, you know, 35 years of having this official motto of death to america, is iran prepared now embark on a path that would normalize relations with the united states. and i think the answer to that, we'll see, it's really too early to kel. >> kareem, although the conversation it was between president obama and president rouhani, it's really the supreme leader, ayatollah khomeini who is the cultural leader of iran. we've seen in the past few weeks that the new president of iran

has tweeted a few things and then deleted those tweets. and he had a conversation with christiane amanpour and then the iranian government tried to reinterpret his answers. is the president possibly getting ahead of himself, stepping out too far. and then the supreme leader's having to pull him back? talk to him about that relationship, and if you see that at play here. >> reporter: you know, we can only speculate from the outside whether rowhani's overtures to the united states have been with the support of the supreme leader, or whether, you know, rouhani arrived back in iran and the supreme leader is upset with him for talking to obama. it's such a closed relationship it's difficult to tell from the outside. but we do know that for three decades the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini has looked at that as one of the economic

pillars to the islamic regime. that's going to be particularly difficult for any iranian president to change. now, we can argue that the circumstances have dramatically changed in iran. the country is facing tremendous economic pressure, draconian economic sanctions. and iran is spending hundreds of millions of dollars every month to keep their ally bashar al assad in power in syria. we can argue that maybe the circumstances have changed and iran is now seeing it in its interests, existential interests. but it really has a first step for a very long journey. >> a huge step for the two leaders but there were reports when rouhani returned there were protesters who hurled shoes at his plane or shoes at hill. is this something that the iranian people want? do they want this?

>> i would argue for the vast majority of iran's very young population, they would love to see detente with the united states. iran's population is by many counts the most pro-america population in the united states. and most iranians see it in the natural interests to restore relations. certainly, it's a small but very vocal active minority who are going to oppose this. i think this that is going to be the challenge for president rouhani and eventually the premium leader to manage this group which, again i would argue, isn't large in number. but they're willing to be real rabble-rousers to try to sabotage any hopes. >> karem sadjadpour, thank you for your insight. >> this is a conversation but at this point, just a conversation.

>> yeah. >> walk and talk. that whole thing. sure. just over a couple days ago, too, kind of goes with this story as well, before that happened, the government shutdown. house republicans are supposed to meet to decide how they're going to proceed. >> there may not have been a conversation on the floor yet. at least there's a conversation with iran. senators have approved a spending bill to keep the government running beyond monday but it funds obama care. the >> let's point out when immediate impact of the shutdown would hit members of the military right in the paycheck. >> during a lapse, d.o.d. cannot pay military personnel and civilian personnel, even if they've been directed to work. military and those civilians directed to work would be paid retroactively once the lapse of appropriation ends. civilians on emergency furloughs, and those for primarily doing not accepted activities would be paid

retroactively only if a law is enacted providing the authority to pay them. >> so what else is on the table? cnn's tom foreman is going to walk us through other fallout that's possible from this potential shutdown. tom, good morning. >> hey, victor, hey, christi, if a government shut youdown comes, first thing you notice, there's not that much to notice. we're not talking abe single grand event, we're talking about a process that would simply get started. if you watch the airport, business as usual. customs, border patrol, the military, all of that would be normal. the federal courts, the postal service, the banks would be operating. all sorts of local government services are paid for by your local taxes, the police and firemen, all business as usual. "usa today" did an analysis on this where they said about 41% of the government would shut down. so that's got to come from somewhere. that brings us to the next level

here. there would be some effect. if you went to a national park or to a monument or to a museum connected with the federal government, you might find that they're closed. if you need a loan your business, for your home, that's backed by the federal government, you may find some delays with that. if you need a new passport or new gun permit that could also be delayed, there might even be delayed with some government checks like social security. although lawmakers generally try to keep that from happening. so don't be too alarmed about that now until you know more. still there would be some immediate impacts. for example, if you're a federal worker, you could be told, pack it up and go home if your work is not really time intensive or doesn't have to be done. you might get paid retroactively for the time missed. beyond that, for the people missing from federal offices if you go there to sign up for medicaid, you may find you that can't do it until the shutdown is over. of course a lot of congressional

staffers could be sent home with time to kill at the beach. time is what this is all about, by the way. a short shutdown, by all accounts would leave most of us still back in the green zone not seeing that much. but the longer it moves on ripples out a sort moving out the more serious parts of the shutdown, filling in the rest of us, so we would all feel it more. and ultimately, the whole economy could feel the effect, victor, christi. >> great breakdown, cnn's tom foreman in washington. thank you so much. we want to stay in washington and talk to cnn's erin mcpike, too. erin, i know that voters are going to blame somebody for a shutdown. who's going to take it? >> christi, good morning. well, cnn's latest polling on this shows that about a third of americans would blame president obama for a shutdown but many more would blame house republicans. back in march, 40% of the people we surveyed said they would

blame house republicans. that's up to 51% now. now even though that is the case, and it looks like house republicans would take more of the blame, the battle lines are still drawn. and house republicans are insisting on trying to defund obama care as a part of funding the government. but here's what president obama had to say about that yesterday. >> the house republicans are so concerned with appeasing the tea party, that they've threatened a government shutdown. or worse, until i gut or repeal the affordable care act. i said this yesterday, let me repeat it. that's not going to happen. >> now, republicans, of course, are not backing down, and ted cruz, the senator from texas has been leading the charge on this. here's what he said yesterday. >> every republican has been outspoken and eloquent against obama care. and when the house stands up and

does the right thing, i think it will present an opportunity for every senate republican to stand arm in arm with the house republicans. >> now, we don't know exactly what house republicans intend to do. they're going to meet this afternoon to try to forge a path forward but who nose what will happen. we only have a few days left, christi. >> cnn's erin mcpike in washington. thank you so much, erin. still to come on "new day," cause for celebration in new jersey for lots of same-sex couples. >> a judge okays same-sex marriage, but governor christie said this fight isn't over. la's known definitely for its traffic, congestion, for the smog. but there are a lot of people that do ride the bus. and now that the buses are running on natural gas, they don't throw out as much pollution into the air. so i feel good.

be the case for everyone in different age groups but i can tell you that we've been doing a lot of premium analyses across the country and it is in fact true that many people are going to find surprisingly low premiums out there. part of the reason is competition. these insurers want these new customers. and those subsidies and tax credits are pretty generous. so it appears there will be some good deals for many people. >> okay. second question here. will repealing obama care add to the deficit? but before you answer, c.c., i think we have the president from tuesday, let's listen. do we have the president? >> because we're driving down costs, we actually end up saving a little money. it is a net reduction of our deficit. the irony of those who are

talking about repealing obama care because it's sole wildly expensive is, if they actually repeal the law it would add to the deficit. it would add to the deficit. >> again, repealing obama care will add to the deficit. true or false? >> in the strange world of washington budget score keeping, it is true. repealing would add to the deficit. but, and this is an important "but." the real world say little bit different than our budget score keeping here in washington. this is expensive legislation. it costs money to provide health coverage to millions of americans. but the reason that the score keepers kind of do the math and say that they're there are savings, is because they've also put in some different tax increases and fees along the way that offset the costs. so in a technical sense, the president is correct by the score keeping.

open up in another country. that's typically a good thing because it means that they're going global and they're growing and expanding. so really hard to kind of tease out what might be the fact or the fiction in that. i can tell you that we do an incredible amount of work with employers of all sizes around the country. we did a survey over the summer, and by overwhelming numbers, these companies were saying that they're already offering insurance. in the near term, they plan to continue offering. and when we asked about the possibility of cutting your employees down below 50, which would exempt you from the affordable care act, we got a whopping 1% of companies that said they were thinking of taking that step. >> 1%. >> kow. ceci connellley, thank for breaking that down for us. >> you're welcome. >> send us an iport at iport.com.

[ laughter ] >> okay. entertainment correspondent kendra g. joining us now. wait a minute, is this for real, or is this publicity, let's talk about it like we're doing now? >> first of all, it's for real because there are tweets that we cannot show on tv. you know it's for real because kanye said spend a day in the life of mine. but then it came back and said, i know, i've seen the tape. that's when i knew this was not a spoof. this is a for real situation. you know what, kanye -- kanye is

so emotional -- i'm sorry be that whole thing he watches and he tweets me. he's an emotional person at all times. >> does he believe this stuff? when he says -- he talks about taking leather sweat pants six years ago and being emotional. he said no. >> i interviewed kanye right before he dropped his first album. he truly believes he's a god. shouldn't we believe in ourselves? we preach that to kids all the time to have great self-esteem. >> but is this what self-esteem is getting us? really? really? i can till i don't want my kid going on twitter and doing that to anybody. >> speak on it. >> he's quite emotional. >> he named his album "jesus." >> that should tell you right there. >> i guess so. >> a lot of confidence. >> here's the thing -- go ahead. >> no, no, you go ahead.

i know where you're going. >> there was this whole thing with kanye and the photographer and the assault and everything, is he taking it too far? do you think he has issues? >> well, with the photographer, i think he was very upset because we know kanye does not like paparazzi at all. there was a time he was walking and he bumps into a stop sign. i think that was his breaking point with the photographer. i don't condone it. but i understand kanye, maybe he is a little too confident at times. i'll give you that. i do like the fact that he believes in himself and he believes he can achieve whatever he wants to believe. >> can we talk miley cyrus. >> yes. >> halloween is coming up, guess what is going to be one of the most popular costume?

>> this after president obama called president rowhani on friday. it is the first time the leaders of iran and the u.s. have spoken directly in 34 years. the president's national security adviser tells cnn how this all came about. >> somewhat surprisingly, we were contacted by them to say that president rowhani would like to speak to president obama on his way out of town. we were able to make that call come together and it did. it was a constructive discussion. >> president obama is calling that discussion a starting point for both countries. cnn chief national security correspondent jim scuitto has more. >> reporter: it was a 15-minute phone call, but one 34 years in the making. >> the fast that this was the first communications between an american and iranian president since 1979 underscores the deep

mistrust between our countries, but it also indicates the prospect of moving beyond that difficulty history. >> reporter: the prospect of reaching agreement on iran's nuclear program seemed out of reach just weeks ago. >> while there will surely be important obstacles to moving forward and success is by no means guaranteed, i believe we can reach a comprehensive solution. >> reporter: that is echoed by iranian president hassan rowhani. he tweeted about his call before the president confirmed it. rowhani ended a week-long charm offensive with a promise to end a plan on the nuclear program next month. >> translator: i assure you on the iranian side this will is there fully 100% that in a very short period of time there will be a settlement on the nuclear issue. >> reporter: president rowhani denied the negotiations were one more delay tactic so iran could

secretly work toward a nuclear bomb. >> translator: we have never chosen to seat as a path. we have never chosen secrecy. >> reporter: we spoke with a member of his inner circle. vice president of culture. >> translator: what has to happen is both sides have to follow-up. if just one side takes steps, naturally this process takes a dead end. >> reporter: the senior official said it was cordial in tone and both leaders expressed a determination to resolve the issue peacefully. they spoke through an interpreter and rowhani spoke have a nice day in english and obama said good-bye in farci. >> jim scuitto, thank you. the throwing of the shoes is considered the ultimate insult

in arab cultures. we want to tell you why that is significant this morning. by the way, the u.n. is taking on syria. the first step toward eliminating the chemical weapons is what we are talking about here. >> the security council passed a resolution to destroy the arsenal. the inspectors are facing a deadline of the middle of next year. let's bring in elise labott from the u.n. now with more. elise, they have to get this done by mid 2014. how soon until they get to work? >> reporter: victor, inspectors are already on the ground. they start the work as early as tuesday and as you said, no time to waste. there are about 50 sites more or less in syria that are believed to have chemical weapons. some of them are held in rebel areas. the civil opposition is not

party to the agreement. the opcw is a tiny organization and doesn't have a lot of resources. this takes a really long time. it is unclear how much they will be able to do. maybe they don't destroy all of the chemical weapons. maybe they make them unusable. this stuff could take years, victor. >> elise, let me ask you, is there an "or else" in this resolution? >> reporter: kind of, christi. on one hand it doesn't expressly authorize force if syria violates the agreement. if a violation occurs, that will be kicked back to the security council and the security council would vote to impose measures, consequences. unclear what those are. as you know, russia is a permanent member of the security council and has veto power and has been blocking any action in the council for two years.

if anything goes to the council and russia could block that. however, after the resolution passed, the russian foreign minister said if there is a violation, russia will vote to impose consequences. it is unclear what those consequences are. president obama said no option, including military option is off the table. >> elise labott at the u.n. this morning. thank you. let's come state side. house republicans scheduled to meet at high noon today. they will decide how to move forward on the spending bill. without it, the government shuts down in a little more than two days. >> we think they will decide. the big hang up is the tea party doesn't want the bill to pay for obama care. chief congressional correspondent dana takes us back to more. >> reporter: the senate passed the bill funding the government without defunding obama care.

>> the amendment is agreed to. >> reporter: on that, republicans stuck together. earlier, they were divided on what ted cruz called the procedural vote. >> it is not easy to disagree with your political party. at the end of the day, what we're doing here is bigger than partisan politics. >> reporter: more than half of the gop caucus defied him, everybody john cornyn. >> i say to my friends that it won't work. >> reporter: a rare moment where the majority of republicans and democrats agreed. >> shutting down the government for obama care is like cancelling the world series because your team didn't make it. >> reporter: but cruz isn't giving up. he is now pressuring the house to defund obama care. >> it is unfortunate that there has been republican division on this issue. >> reporter: what is next for the house? house gop leaders have no plan. when the senate passed the bill

keeping the government open, the house was already done with business for the day. cars filled the capitol hill parking lot since they are not expected to return until saturday. senior gop sources admit to cnn house gop leaders are in a bind because many rank-and-file republicans want changes to the senate bill. >> is it worth it to shut the government down? >> the press keeps saying it. that's the president's line. the house has every right to determine what they will spend. >> reporter: the senate democratic leader has colorful words. >> some of the people part of the caucus want to shut the government down. >> reporter: harry reid reported any house changes is unacceptable. >> we would shutdown the government. >> why wouldn't it be your

fault? >> you are using weird caucus math. >> dana is live in washington for us. we have four hours before house republicans meet. walk us through the process. what will happen here? >> you started the program talking about how the president isn't negotiating with congress, but negotiating with the iranian president. there is no one to negotiate with because john boehner is first at the meeting and negotiate with his own people. that is the crux of the problem. republican leaders have never wanted to go down this path to begin with. they were forced to in large part because of the pressure from the grassroots that got to the core group of 20 to 40 house republicans, rank-and-file, they are still pushing him to fight. as much as harry reid says they want a bill that doesn't do anything to fund the government, it will not happen. the options are delaying obama care for a year or maybe getting rid of a medical device tax.

regardless, house republicans are determined to make changes. what that means is whether they pass it today or tomorrow, whatever they agree on, it will then go back to the senate. we will really be up against the deadline of monday night. it is very unclear how they keep the government open at that point. >> all right. chief congressional correspondent dana bash, thank you. still to come on "new day," a new u.n. report calls climate change the greatest challenge of our time. we're going to ask which u.s. cities face the greatest threat of floods and destruction from sea levels that are rising. and i want to shoutout a good morning to you waking up in new york with lady liberty. a gorgeous day in store for you. 73 degrees and sunny skies. happy to have you here on "new day." we'll be right back. ot theroll in cities across the country, coca-cola joined with communities and local leaders

>> what are you seeing is a microcosym across the are u.s. sea level rise is causing areas to flood under unusually large high tides. our building was -- we put things where we thought the water would never go and now because of sea level rise, the water is going there. as we advance this out in time, that means that storm surge which will come on top of the sea level in any sea level rise, is only going to get worse. >> you know, we're in the florida keys because the highest spot down here is 18 feet. most spots are about three feet above sea level. islamorada takes it in stride. they have a golf tournament on the water. that is why it is here. it is the largest golf tournament on the water in the nation. they raise $100,000 for

saying, i won't necessigotiate f you don't do what i and the senate democrats do what i say we do, then we will shutdown the government. that is what we are dealing with. it is not the republicans trying to shut it down. they don't have the power to. >> hillary, let me bring you in on that and recognize that the latest cnn average of four national polls favorable rating is up to 49%. in the spring, that was in the low 40s. is that hurting the president? >> this will not hurt the president at all. the approval ratings of house republicans are way lower. the issue is the president is rightly saying, look, obama care, this health care law, is going to be implemented this week. it is the law of the land. every member of congress that voted for it was reelected in the senate. people actually want to give it

a chance to work. the issue, i think, you can tell by ben's passion here there are republicans who just are opposed to it and thinks this works for them politically. i think the polling says it is wrong. my guess is they will go through another round of this and maybe even shutdown the government. the only way that the tea party caucus will be satisfied is if they get their way in some way. you know, they have to feel the pain that they will cause. that is the only way they will stop acting like children here. >> they are not acting like children. it is called negotiating. it is something the president seems to not know how to do. he says i will not negotiate with any of the republicans. that's what he said. >> it's not going to happen. >> the laws change all the time, hilary, all the time in this country. the fact the republicans are running on this, why didn't they

run on this in the mid-term elections? why didn't they walk out there and run on the issue of obama care? it was nowhere to be seen and republicans -- let me remind you, one backed the house because of obama care and the majority of people, 57% of americans say they do not like obama care the way it is. i think republicans are listening to the american people. barack obama says, no, no, no. i'm president. i got my way once. i'll do it again. if i don't get my way, i'll shut down the government. >> let me throw this out to you here. can congress fix the budget process so it is not held hostage every few months to the demands of everyone? >> this particular issue that we're dealing with with shutting down the government is the ongoing appropriations which have to be renewed annually. there has not been a long-term

comprehensive budget deal because of the political standoff. could they do this and create a balanced mix of spending cuts and revenues and things like that? yes, they could. these are not two sides that have a meeting of their minds. the thing that i think is going to be unfortunate this week is this is going to be a showdown over stopping 40 million people who have nothing. have no insurance. they go home worried about their families. stopping them from getting a shot at health insurance. that is what the republicans have decided is going to be, you know, their line in the sand. i just don't think that will fly in the long term. >> we have to wrap it up. hilary rosen and ben ferguson, thank you. this will continue over the next few weeks. he is being called the bionic man. >> coming up, scientists say

the airlines are squeezing out the last dollar on the last seat. there are fewer seats out there. they will charge you a premium. you better get booking now. >> i expected an answer that has something to do with gas prices. when is the best time to buy a ticket before the spike goes into effect? >> how about now? right? how about now? >> people don't have their schedules yet. >> you know what? you have to look out. i decided to take my family back to cancun for the sixth year in a row. i booked my flights three months ago. those prices are already up 2$20 a ticket. you want to take advantage and get out right now before the end of the month. they will continue to creep up over those three weeks as kayak predicts. you will not see the airlines bring more flights on to those routes. they are trying to boost profitability. that means higher yields and higher ticket prices for you as

>> reporter: victor, the u.s. and other countries have intelligence about some movements. now that syria has signed this agreement, there is an expectation that they pretty much will at least in the beginning try to implement it. how realistic is the plan? it is a bit unclear. a tight timeline. a year to destroy all of the chemical weapons. this could take years in some instances. i think what this organization for the prevention of prohibition of chemical weapons that is monitoring this on the ground might do is, i think they will make these weapons beyond use. they might not be able to destroy them immediately, but do more of a quick and dirty way of stopping syria from using them. inspectors are on the ground right now. they could start their work as early as tuesday. this organization is very small. they don't have a lot of resources. it is unclear how much they will be able to get done in the short period of time. >> we will see if anything stays

on schedule. elise labott at the u.n. thank you. now, a 15-minute phone call ending 34 years of silence with the u.s. and iran. president obama spoke with iranian president hassan rowhani yesterday. washington wants to make sure iran is not developing a nuclear weapon and president rowhani arrived back in tehran earlier today. we understand a protesters tossed a shoe in his direction, which is the ultimate insult in that culture. supporters were there, however, as well. house republicans. will they hold a big meeting in three hours? at noon they will decide how to handle the spending bill the senate has sent over. that bill is critical if the government stays open beyond monday. >> all of this is watched with interest. i want to bring in correspondent jim acosta.

any spending bill to pay for obama care, the tea party is saying no way. how does this get resolved? >> reporter: i tell you, we don't know at this point how this will get resolved. dana bash has been reporting this over the last 24 hours or so. if house republicans demand as part of the continuing resolution that obama care is delayed or defunded or tinkered with, the white house has said this is not going to happen and we will have a situation where the government will shutdown on monday. having said all of that, we still have to wait to see what house republicans do. as we have seen in previous episodes of government shutdown crisis mode in washington, somebody blinks at the last second. the president said this yesterday and said it repeatedly over the last several weeks that he will not accept any deal that delays or defunds obama care. the president talked about this in his weekly address. he was celebrating the fact that

on october 1st, the key health care gets going. here is what he has to say. >> the house republicans are so concerned, they threatened a shutdown unless i gut or repeal the affordable care act. i said this yesterday. let me repeat it. that's not going to happen. >> so there you heard the president say that is not going to happen. you know, we have gone back to white house officials. i have gone back to white house officials last night and what if the house does this with obama care and the response i got back was the president could not have been more clear. at this point, this white house has drawn a line in the sand in all of this. to make sure that everybody understands that they are preparing for a government shutdown here. keep in mind the white house sent out a directive memo who work in the executive office to get ready for a shutdown and ready for a furlough on october 1st. that memo is expect.

employees not get on their blackmail -- blackmail. blackberrys or iphones to check in with work. they are shutdown and off the clock and they cannot check in with work. they are getting serious at the white house. that was backed up by the president's comments yesterday and today in the weekly address. >> we will see what comes out of the meeting at noon. senior white house correspondent jim acosta, thank you. >> you bet. the temperature is rising and so is the confidence of scientists that humans are to blame. >> the u.n. report says this is the greatest challenge of our time. we have cnn's chad myers in the florida keys. if the temperatures keep rising, what will that do to america as we know it? are there specific cities you are concerned about? >> reporter: sure.

every barrier island in the world. boston and new york, all of the harbor cities. savannah, south florida. you go all the way around the horn anywhere you have a large population living close to the sea, most of those people will be as close to the water as possible. they built on the land that was close to the water. so they are on the lowest possible land and if the water rises as predicted, the water will be in the neighborhoods literally in the next 10-to-15 years and probably through the neighborhoods in the next 50 years. we talked to jamie earl from the national hurricane center. this is bringing the cause of hurricane sandy. that was a big wind storm that brought storm surge. there is a big forecast for next year. let me show you what he is worried about. >> you are seeing a microcosm

across the u.s. you see it bad in norfolk. sea level rises and causes areas to flood under unusually large high tides. we put things in the areas where water would never go and now the sea levels are rising and the water is going there. that means that storm surges which will come on top of the sea level in any sea level rise will only get worse. >> reporter: you know, the florida keys are here and the reason we are here is the keys are three feet above sea level. the highest spot in the florida keys is 18 feet. when it comes in, it comes in over to the other side. when you get a hurricane pushing water through the keys, that say problem. that is a problem for many cities. the water is warming. when the water warms like a thermometer that is warming, the

water goes up. if the water is warming, the water goes up. it is not melting ice caps. people kind of lose sight of what we are talking about here. that is why the water is going to go up. >> great explanation, chad. it's too bad he had to go all the way to the keys to explain that. >> some people get the rough assignments. >> thank you, chad. always good to see you. still to come on "new day," miss teen usa will join us live. >> she is talking about an arrest in the sextortion case that involved not just her, but some other young women. there is a twist here. stay close. once upon a time, an insurance clerk stumbled upon a cottage.
