>> i will leave you be. thank you. >> thanks. the reason that speaker boehner hasn't called a vote on it is because he doesn't apparently want to see the government shutdown end at the moment. >> the president has -- the white house last week only to remind me that he is not going to negotiate. >> groundhog day? perhaps? gridlock in washington. the government still partially shut down as the day when the u.s. won't be able to pay its bills quickly approaching now. new information this morning about a u.s. terror raid in somalia. how children, children may have stopped navy s.e.a.l.s from capturing a high level

terrorist. the rain came extremely hard. straight down when, wow, look at that! and next thing, almost immediately, everything was just blowing. streets flood and trees ripped from the ground and extremely weather on the east coast. >> you sound like peter brady this morning. >> i have this little frog in my throat so help me out this morning, will you? >> i'm here for you. >> ah! i'm here for you too. >> it is 4:00 a.m. in the east. let's get started. >> dawn will soon rise in washington to a day of more politics and more plois. we have new details about a new twist that could come this morning but, first, let's walk down an unhappy memory lane. it was one week this current mess began. ah, the memories. the government shutting down, at

least partially, because republicans in the house wanted health care reform defunded or at least delayed. democrats saying no and demanding a clean vote to keep the government running. here we are, eight days later. >> two little clocks on the right-hand side now. >> fantastic cloths. we didn't tell you there would be math but there is. one is the amount of the time the u.s. hits the debt ceiling and down below is how long we have been in a shot number. we could see the default slide toward economic catastrophe. to stop this the next comes on the floor if in a few hours. brianna keilar has the latest. >> reporter: ramping up the pressure on house republicans, senate democrats will introduce a bill today that would increase the debt ceiling for more than a year. the goal, push this hot potato

issue beyond the 2004 midterm elections. the bill has no strings attached. no budgetary bartering. >> i cannot do that under the threat that if republicans don't get 100% of their way, they will either shut down the government or they are going to default on america's debt. >> reporter: the president still says he won't bargain with the country's ability to pay its bills. >> the president's refusal to negotiate is hurting our economy and putting our country at risk. >> reporter: house speaker john boehner insists a debt ceiling increase without some concessions from the white house will never get past his republicans. he says the same about a government funding bill, though, democrats question that. >> one surefire way to figure out if the bill will pass is have a vote on it. >> reporter: only one thing for certain, americans are not expressed, especially with republicans. in a new cnn/international orc

poll, 63 blame republicans for the shutdown and 57 point the finger to democrats and 53% hold president obama accountable. nine days from breaching the if that doesn't fly, there could be a short-term measure to buy time. or both sides could keep talking past each other until the u.s. defaults, and there is bipartisan agreement, that would be an economic disaster. brianna keilar, cnn, washington. >> a new warning this morning from the social security administration. it gave no specifics about what could be cut and how soon it would need to stop paying. those details apparently are still being worked out. >> other big news.

we are finding out more this morning about the terror raids in africa that netted man an important al qaeda operative but as john sciutto reports, one of the raids does not seem to have gone as planned and it may have been thwarted by the presence of children. >> reporter: the westgate mile talk in nairobi kenya, left dozens destroyed and a mall destroyed and a country terrorized. attacks like this that help lead the u.s. to target ab shabaab on its home territory. it was a daring operation. late friday night, s.e.a.l.s team six, the same team that killed osama bin laden, launched from a commercial ship aiming to capture the al shabaab leader but ikrima. they haet heavier resistance than expected. the element of seeing children

lost in the compound, the s.e.a.l.s withdrew without their man. >> there was a firefight, absolutely. they took every step to avoid civilian casualties in this case and that is what our military personnel do. >> reporter: the military sources say the s.e.a.l.s were never pinned down and had rescue teams nearby at all times. just hours later in 3,000 miles away in libya, another daring operation. this one in broad daylight in downtown trippwhen u.s. forces in masks surrounded his car and smashed the driver's side window and rushed al libi away as his wife watched in terror from their home. she spoke exclusively with cnn. >> translator: everything happened rapidly. they grabbed him and shoved him in the car. i saw them doing this and saying, "get in!"

but wasn't sure it was my husband. the car sped off like a rocket. >> reporter: al libi is now on a u.s. navy ship in the mediterranean. ikrima remains at large. these two raids show that strikes can be risky and difficult. one got its target and the other did not. a u.s. official told me the u.s. does not see the somalia operation as a failure. the official says it shows terror that they can, quote, knock on their door anywhere in the world. john sciutto, cnn, washington. our thanks to jim. this morning, there is optimistic on the talks over a long-term security green light with afghanistan. u.s. and afghan leaders held latest round of talks yesterday. afghanistan wants guarantees against future terrorism from pakistan, while the u.s. wants troops to remain in the country beyond 2014. despite the impasse, u.s.

officials say they are confident an agreement can be made in the next few weeks. nsa officials uncertain about recently melt downs. they say ten electrical surges at the facility have destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars of machinery and caused years of delay in opening that facility. the facility in utah is slated to be the spy agency' lars data storage center. separate attacks across the country in egypt have left ten people dead. that a day after dozens died in clashes between demonstrators and security forces. ian lee is live in cairo for us this morning. what can you tell us, ian? >> reporter: what we are witnessing right now in egypt is a low level insurgency with really daily attacks against security forces and government buildings. and typically these attacks happen in northern sinai. what we witness yesterday was a

bit unusual. we had an attack in south sinai close to tourist destinations and an area along the suez canal and cairo and these attacks are spreading across the country. while they typically target security forces and government buildings, there is fear they could go after tourists on destination and tourism sites and this comes after last sunday's incident where you had security forces and protesters clashing on the streets of cairo. over 50 people killed in that incident. and there is this fear that when there isn't any dialogue between the two sides, those who support the muslim brotherhood and their allies and the interim government, there hasn't been any compromise or there hasn't been any negotiations. there is fear this insurgency and this violence could continue. >> ian, i know there is an effort to disband the muslim brotherhood. what is the latest on that? >> reporter: it looks like that

is going to go through that the muslim brotherhood will be banned and this is something that really doesn't come as a surprise for anyone. the government has been going after the brotherhood, blaming them for the violence that egypt is seeing right now, saying these are people who are terrorists and that they are fighting a war on terror. there is no surprise that the brotherhood will be banned, but i have to say the brotherhood has seen the sort of crackdown before in their history where they were rounded up and arrested and even executed. so this isn't likely to be the nail in the brotherhood's coffin. they are a group that knows how to operate in these sort of circumstances. >> they have bowed to continue protesting. ian lee live for us in cairo, thank you very much. staying in that region. the head of the united nations is asking for teams to dismantle and destroy syria's chemical weapons. the u.n. would provide security and coordination with the syrian rebel and government forces with an international weapons group taking the lead on the inspections and vinks.

in a letter written by ban ki-moon, the u.n. secretary-general, says achieving the goal by the middle of next year is something that has never been tried before. iranians are taking to twitter to mock israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu. last weekend he told the bbc if the iranian people had freedom, they would wear jeans and listen to country music and he also said jeans are banned in iranians. you guessed it. they are lighting up twitter and posting photos of themselves in all sorts of locations and they are wearing their favorite blue jeans. >> this is interesting and going on a few days. looking for your next get away? why not the ski resort in north korea? the country is racing to finish a lavish new facility to open later this week. the problem, no one seems willing to sell the country's skilift which is necessary for a ski resort and the roads are not yet finished so you can't get

there and the hotels are not done either so one tells the associated press there are only about 5,000 skiers in north korea or two-tenths of 1% of the population. it's hard to ski when you don't have snow. >> a bit of a head-scratcher there, don't you think? >> a little bit. coming up. violent wind wreaking neighborhoods looking the east coast. trees were knocked down and power lines snapped and homes severely damaged. the communities that were hardest hit, coming up next. very scary because this can happen again. >> a store clerk fighting off an armed robber with a weapon of his own! look at that! you will see this again and we will show you the whole thing. the machete wheeling store clerk when we come back!

welcome back. severe storms across the northeast and has brought down trees and power lines. in the nation's capital, the rain rah brief, but it was torrential. one driver managed to escape after a large tree came crashing down on his car. >> all of a sudden, a cloud of green leaves and then that was the tree came down. and i tried to stop in time but,

you know, with the wind and weather like it is, the visibility is bad. so it's hard to judge. >> but he is okay, right? wow. that is incredible. >> it looked like the apocalypse around here. right into electric lines trees were brought. a few hundred customers lost power but the area was mostly spared from serious damage. these big trees taken down by storms in new jersey. this is the scene a few miles west of new york city. there were some injuries reported from the falling tree branches. the trees smacking into power lines as well causing sparks and fires. the flames quickly put out and winds clocked nearly 60 miles an hour in some areas. take a look what is in store for today. more weather like this. chad myers has the forecast. good morning.

amount you can give to candidates or parties. limits have been in places since the 'seventh a70s. the argument says it limits first amendment right to speech and this supreme court has modified a lot of the campaign finance rules. this could be another pivotal case. a school district is -- it is a first charge brought by this grand jury. investigating whether adults in the district covered up or ignored information about a rape of a teenager by two steubenville high school football players. a legal battle in ohio. appeals court ruling that a hospital can force a 10-year-old amish girl to resume chemotherapy. her parents stopped the therapy saying it made her extremely ill

but doctors say she will die about it. it is arrest number for in the bizarre new york biker beating case. a brooklyn man was charged with gang assault for allegedly punching and kicking the suv driver while he was on the ground. those actions reportedly were caught on tape. now police say at least two off-duty officers were at the scene but did absolutely nothing. more arrests are expected. we know the name of a zoo worker mauled by a tiger at an oklahoma animal park. kfor said the worker's name is kelsey sharrry. they were able to save her arm. she broke protocol by sticking her hand into the tiger's cage. here is one way to stop a robbery. it happened in new york's long island. i love this. police say a man wearing a mask walked into a convenience store with a gun in his hand.

he demanded money but the clerk wanted none of it. he pulled out, can we see it again? there it is. there it comes. the machete! and chased the would-be robber out of the store and across the parking lot. >> it was a fake gun. that's why it was a joker. >> the clerk got very lucky in this situation. we would advise the any win to give up the money. >> the guy was armed with a very real ..22-caliber pistol. >> reminds me of indiana jones. i would be careful if i were a store clerk. >> it is not a good idea. i want to know why he was keeping a machete there. >> for something just like this. >> i suppose but you typically

use a gun in an armed robbery. >> you do not bring a knife for a gun fight, as they say. >> no. >> but it worked here. >> it did work. congratulations to him. i'm glad he made out of it okay. the government shutdown causing big safety concerns at the airport. but this morning, we have good news! >> really? >> we have good news to report! that's coming up next.

white house officials said the president is willing to accept a short-term increase in the debt limit instead of raising it for one year as most democrats prefer. >> are you saying that we have never never stated and not saying today a debt ceiling ought to be or any particular length of time. >> reporter: the republicans complain it's the president who is risking default by not negotiating. pointing to this comment made by white house economic adviser jean spurling. >> the president strongly believes that if he were to sanction negotiations with those threatening default, that would actually increase -- not decrease the chances we as a country undermine our full faith and credit. >> reporter: spurling went on to to say the president believes such negotiations would only encourage more brinkmanship but boehner had this interpretation. >> this morning, a senior white house official said the president would rather default than to sit down and negotiate.

really? >> reporter: a new cnn/orc poll finds americans are furious with the shutdown. what is worse, nobody in washington seems to know what might happen if the nation goes into default next week. >> i can't tell you. we have never gotten to this point. it's very dangerous. >> reporter: a top house republican aide said that would have to go along with some spending cuts but, at this point, white house officials that is not going to happen. jim acosta, cnn, the white house. glitches in the sign of proobama share insurance exchanges have inspired a chorus of i told you so's from some consecutive critics. but they say there is time to fix the program. a trickle of customers got through initially but insurers

floating off into blackness. >> please catch me. >> i didn't like that idea. >> reporter: this nit-pick via twitter noting that nearly all satellites orbit edge west to east and not like in the film and ponded why bullock's hair and other gravity scenes did not float freely on her head as mike's short hair did. the real astronaut doesn't quibble with sandra bullock's space suit. it's what is under her space suit wasn't on so realistic. >> the undergarments weren't realistically but it's a movie. >> reporter: while the astronauts were having their severs t severs tethered, mike misses

being in space and the movie reminded him of being there. >> for me, i'm an astronaut, not a movie critic but i give it a thumb's up. >> reporter: an astronaut more worried about holes in his glove than holes in the plot. >> the headline there is jeanne moos comes out strongly against panting. really issues with panting there. hi no idea. >> i'm dying to see this movie because everybody has said it's just unbelievable. it's like on steroids. i think one and a half hours on steroid is how one critic described it. >> someday, we will get a babysitter. >> i told you, i'd babysit! the reason that speaker boehner hasn't called a vote on it is because he doesn't, apparently, want to see the government shutdown end at the moment. >> the president had us all down

to the white house last week, only to remind me that he was not going to negotiate. >> wake up, washington! amid the shutdown, the nation barrels toward the moment we will no longer be able to pay our bills. this morning, a new twist and a new plan from a key player. new information that a u.s. terror raid in somalia. what stopped the s.e.a.l.s from capturing a high level terrorist? rain came extremely hard. straight down. went, wow, look at that! and next thing, almost immediately, everything was just blowing. >> streets flooded and trees ripped from the ground. extreme weather storming the east coast. we will show you the hardest hit areas and we will tell you what is in store for this morning. good morning. welcome to "early start." i'm zoraida sambolin. >> i'm john berman. great to see you. tuesday, october 8th, 5:00 a.m. in the east. >> we begin with what is

happening in washington. of the partial government shutdown in its eighth day and deadline for raising the debt ceiling is fast approaching. the obama administration warns not democrats plan to take a step to avoiding that. here is brianna keilar. >> reporter: ramping up the pressure on house republicans, senate democrats will introduce a bill today that would increase the debt ceiling for more than a year. the goal, push this hot potato issue beyond the 2014 midterm elections. the bill has no strings attached. no agreement to change obama care. no budgetary bartering. >> i cannot do that under the threat that if republicans don't get 100% of their way, they will either shut down the government or they are going to default on america's debt. >> reporter: the president still says he won't bargain with the country's ability to pay its bills. >> the president's refusal to negotiate is hurting our economy

and putting our country at risk. >> reporter: house speaker john boehner insists a debt ceiling increase without some concessions from the white house will never get past his republicans. he says the same about a government funding bill, though, democrats question that. >> one surefire way to figure out if the bill will pass is have a vote on it. >> reporter: only one thing for certain, americans are not impressed, especially with republicans. in a new cnn/international orc poll, 63% blame republicans for the shutdown and 57 point the finger to democrats and 53% hold president obama accountable. eight days into the partial government shutdown, nine days from breaching the debt ceiling here is how it could play out. perhaps a long-term proposal what the senate is taking up. if that doesn't fly, could be a measure to buy time.

or both sides could keep talking past each other until the u.s. defaults, and there is bipartisan agreement, that would be an economic disaster. brianna keilar, cnn, washington. now to the terror raids in africa that put a man who says was an important al qaeda operative into u.s. custody. we are hearing new details about that raid and another raid in somalia that was less successful because of a fascinating reason that might involve children. chief senate security john sciutto has that. >> reporter: the westgate mile talk in nairobi kenya, left dozens destroyed and a mall destroyed and a country terrorized. attacks like this that help lead the u.s. to target al shabaab on its home territory. it was a daring operation. late friday night, s.e.a.l.s team six, the same team that killed osama bin laden, launched

from a commercial ship aiming to capture the al shabaab leader known as ikrima. as they approached the shore side villa they are met by heavier gunfire and heavier than they expected. the element of seeing children lost in the compound, the s.e.a.l.s withdrew without their man. >> there was a firefight, absolutely. they took every step to avoid civilian casualties in this case and that is what our military personnel do. >> reporter: the military sources say the s.e.a.l.s were never pinned down and had rescue teams nearby at all times. just hours later and 3,000 miles away in libya, another daring operation. this one in broad daylight in downtown tripoli. abu al libi was picked up. they say he had just returned from prayer, when u.s. forces many in masks surrounded his car

and smashed the driver's side window and rushed al libi away as his wife watched in terror from their home. she spoke exclusively with cnn. >> translator: everything happened rapidly. they grabbed him and shoved him in the car. i saw them doing this and saying, "get in!" but wasn't sure it was my husband. the car sped off like a rocket. >> reporter: al libi a senior al qaeda operative wanted for the bombings in africa is now on a u.s. navy ship in the mediterranean. ikrima remains at large. these two raids show that even sturl surgical strikes can be risky and difficult. one got its target and the other did not. a u.s. official told me the u.s. does not see the somalia operation as a failure. the official says it shows terror that they can, quote, knock on their door anywhere in the world. john sciutto, cnn, washington. our thanks to jim. there is no agreement yet between the united states and afghanistan over a long-term security agreement. the latest round of talks took

place yesterday with the focus on afghan's request for help preventing terrorism from pakistan. "uss officials say they are confident an agreement can be made the next few weeks. what are called meltdowns is delaying the nsa massive new data center in utah. its opening has been delayed for at least a year. the northeast and mid-atlantic region cleaning up today after severe storms brought rain and high winds to that region. washington, d.c. was pounded with rain that very very quickly and very hard. one driver managed to escape after a large tree came crashing down on his car. >> all of a sudden, a cloud of green leaves and then that was the tree came down. and i tried to stop in time but,

you know, with the wind and weather like it is, the visibility is bad. so it's hard to judge. >> the storm system also dropping heavy rain and bringing down trees and the albany, new york area. >> lots of that leading to sparks in new jersey. this is what it looked like west of new york city. wind gusts to 60 miles an hour in some places and thousands of customers lost power when branches and power lines fell to the ground. there were some injuries from the falling tree branches. indra petersons is back from chasing tropical storm karen and with us today. >> amazing to go from tropical storm storm to the squall line pushing through the area. this is a loop from yesterday as

that radar shows it kind of kicking through the area quickly and the strong winds ahead of it. many reports of strong wind gusts across the region as it continued to make its way east. today we are looking at a different picture. we are watching a cold front and kick through the area and with that, the temperatures actually were very warm. new york with 76. now as we watch that cold front existing off the coastline look what happens. we will drop the temperatures way down. down to the 60s and, tomorrow, same thing. it cools off even more. that is the biggest change for us here in the northeast. making your way down to the southeast, yes, that front exited off to the northeast but the tail end of it, they are kind of hanging on a low has formed and we are going to have to watch this low as it starts to make its way up the coastline and as it does so, it will continue to pull moisture off the coastline and bring heavy rain into the carolinas and eventually creep even further up into the northeast by the end of the week. that is going to be the big story on the east coast. west coast here we go again. another storm making its way. this time all the way down even

in through southern california so we are talking about temperatures dropping and even the first big rainmaker early in the season for southern california. a lot going on. sorry about the cool weather today. a big difference. >> it's okay. thank you. >> we are always happy to have you back. >> thank you. man's best friend could be the ultimate cancer detectors. canines at the university of pennsylvania's working dog center are being trained to detect ovarian cancer. so wind up some of the compounds in ovarian cancer have a distinctive smell and dogs with their sensitive noses can sniff it out if the training works. researchers hope they will be able to isolate the compound and develop an electronic nose that can sense those compounds too. earlier detection may help save more women's lives. that is a tough cancer to detect so breaking. >> i've been down to the university of pennsylvania with their work with dogs and it is

unprecedented and stop syria from making more weapons the first of next month. mohammed jamjoom is following this story for us. explain to us exactly how this is going to work. >> reporter: the last couple of days we have heard syria is started complying with this negotiated settlement to rid the country of chemical weapons. if anybody thought this was an easy process they got a wake-up call after reading this letter sent by ban ki-moon to the u.n. security council last night. he talked about just how dangerous a mission this is. how long it would take and how the fact is this is unprecedented. the u.n. and the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons which both have staff on the ground now trying to dismantle the weapons program in syria, they have never undertaken this kind of a challenge before. definitely not during a raging civil war. ban ki-moon said this needed to be done in three phases. he says the first phase is

making sure that syria was declaring all its chemical weapons and chemical weapons program. he says the last phase is the difficult and dangerous and volatile task of ridding the country of qechemical weapons. he says syria has most likely over a thousand metric tons of chemical weapons. he says so far 35 people on the ground in syria that need to be staffed up. they need to have at least a hundred people and need somebody to oversee. he says a light footprint in syria the program is based in cyprus but they need a free and clear pass for the inspectors to do the work they need and secure the safety of the inspectors so it's a very difficult task. yes, people, even united states

secretary of state john kerry pleased so far what syria is able to do but still this is much more difficult than originally thought. >> who is guaranteeing the safety of the inspectors? is it the regime? >> reporter: well, the regime should be guaranteeing their security and safety but, in the past, when the u.n., when the arab league and other international bodies have tried to send in inspectors or monitors, many times where they said that the syrians were not complying in that regard. we are not giving them unhindered access and we are not securing their presence there. many many times we have heard in the past that u.n. inspection teams and other monitors slrk mortars or shells hit close to where they are staying and close to their hotels and the war is only getting worse there. over a hundred thousand people have been killed and it seems to be raging out of control. how exactly the syrian government, when they are battling with the rebels every day is going to secure the safety of these inspectors, it's not known at this time. >> thank you, mohammed jamjoom

in beirut. did accused colorado theater shooter james holmes drop online hints about his plans? it's one of the questions as both sides debate which evidence should be allowed in trial. holmes is accused of opening fire inside a crowded theater in 2012 killing 12 and injuring 70 more. two online dating profiles allegedly set up by holmes were at issue on monday. the trial is slated for next february and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty there. charges for a school district employee in steubenville, ohio. this man is charged. investigating whether adults in the district covered up or ignored information about the rape of a teenager by two steubenville high school football players. doctors can force a 10-year-old amish girl to resume chemotherapy according to the

that there are enough votes there. the reason speaker boehner hasn't called a vote on is because he doesn't apparently want to see the government shutdown end at the moment. >> reporter: there could be a few breaks in the clouds over washington. the president promised to work with republicans on health care and the budget if they end the shutdown and raise the nation's debt ceiling. >> i am eager and ready to sit down and negotiate with republicans on a whole range of issues. >> reporter: another hopeful sign? with a potential default on october 17th fast approaching, white house officials said the president is willing to accept a short-term increase in the debt limit instead of raising it for one year as most democrats prefer. >> are you saying that we have never stated and not saying today a debt ceiling ought to be can be any particular length of time so i'm not ruling out the specific duration and i want to make that clear. >> reporter: but republicans complain it's the president who is risking default by not negotiating. pointing to this comment made by white house economic adviser

jean spurling. >> the president strongly believes that if he were to sanction negotiations with those threatening default, that would actually increase -- not decrease the chances we as a country undermine our full faith and credit. >> reporter: spurling went on to say the president believes such negotiations would only encourage more brinkmanship but boehner had this interpretation. >> this morning, a senior white house official said the president would rather default than to sit down and negotiate. really? >> reporter: a new cnn/orc poll finds americans are furious with the shutdown. 63% angry with republicans and 57% with democrats. and 53% with the president. what is worse, nobody in washington seems to know what might happen if the nation goes into default next week. >> i can't tell you. we have never gotten to this point. it's very dangerous. >> reporter: as for that idea of

a short-term debt ceiling increase, a top house republican aide said that would have to go along with some spending cuts but, at this point, white house officials that is not going to happen. jim acosta, cnn, the white house. insurance companies and the obama administration are insisting there is enough time to fix the obama care online enrollment system before the start getting coverage on january 1st. the system had been playing with capacity and other problems since it launched last week but they say now the enrollments are coming in at a much steadier face. john dobson a book he wrote is blocked by his superiors and say it could have a negative effect on morale but the aclu is fighting back saying it is a part of his free speech rights. they say he can't profit from

i got caught right there. i can't talk any more, i'm so upset. check out what the weather did here blamed for this bus carrying elementary school students and overturning on a wet road and not far from charlotte. fog and rain together the culprits apparently here. the bus wound up on the side in the mud. when the driver tried to overcorrect, the bus rolled over. nine students and driver were hurt and the injuries are not considered serious thankfully. mountains of snow in south dakota are moved as the western part of the state cleans up from an early blizzard there. nearly four feet of snow fell on some areas. it came down so quickly, some cattle ranchers couldn't get their herds out of the way. dozens of could you sws and cal said to have lost in that store. >> that is what is happening today. what is going to happen today?

>> the same system connected with the tropical moisture from karen and brought us that big squall line that moved through yesterday. over a hundred reports of wind damage you're talking about it. you saw it. downed trees and flipped cars and power lines down from that system. the system has moved offshore. we are talking about calmer weather but definitely cooler temperatures and look at new york yesterday with 76. look at the difference today. we are now going to be talking about those temperatures dropping way down to the 60s. this is where she should be but they are going to continue to cool as all of that cool air from canada continues to stream into the region. notice a couple of days down to 66 degrees. the other side of this story. that front went off coast in the northeast but down in the southeast it's still kind of lingering off shore. a low has formed. the reason that matters it's going to pull in this moisture off the coastline and continue to bring more rain into the southeast. each day it creeps up further. by the end of the week still talking about dealing with that

system, rain into the northeast. for now, cool and dry. >> thanks. a warning today about salmonella and raw chicken. hundreds of people in 18 states have come down with the illness after handling raw chicken from a california processor. the usda has traced the yeoutbrk to three plants. arizona is moving first with a controversial change to its voting rules. the state attorney general and secretary of state, both republicans, announcing they will stop residents from casting ballots in those residents cannot prove their citizenship. some are calling the move vindictive despite the supreme court voting down that plan. detroit's bankruptcy may be costing it a lot on more than its pride. the companies that were hired to help the motor city deal with its $18 billion in debt have

already charged the city more than $19 million. some bankruptcy experts say the proceedings could cost detroit toirs as much as $100 million. no jury service for noncitizens in california. the governor has vetoed a bill that would allow legal permanent residents to be on jury duty and the responsibility should only lie with citizens. a key sponsor plans to reintroduce the legislation next year. a popular short-term home renting service under fire in new york state. the attorney general there has now subpoenaed a company to hand over the names of the more than 225,000 people who have put their homes up on the service. the goal is to crack down on home renters who don't pay hotel taxes. the company plans to fight that subpoena and agreed recently to begin paying hotel taxes in new york city. so controversial book is being relieved today along with a documentary for front line on pbs about the risk of brain

damage to professional football players and what the nfl did or did not do about it. two say the league ignored research and attacked scientists studying chronic brain encephalopathy and otherwise denied there was a problem. the brothers insist the message the nfl sends about brain injuries goes far beyond professionals. >> the issue is not just an nfl issue, it's a kids issue and trickles down to high school and pop warner and 3 million kids plaeg and making those decisions based on emerging sentence and concerns about whether playing football can lead to long-term brain damage. i think our hope all along is just to make sure we can inform people as much as. >> the brornls who abrother say nfl refused to give them a statement during their reporting. but the nfl say they have made found commitment to the health

wow...look at you. i've always tried to give it my best shot. these days i'm living with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. at first, i took warfarin, but i wondered, "could i up my game?" my doctor told me about eliquis. and three important reasons to take eliquis instead. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three... unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care
