5:00 pm
>> "newsroom" begins right now. thank you, appreciate that. >> it is the taupe of the hour. i'm don lemon. you are in the cnn "newsroom." and washington's long weekend, almost over. believe it or not, most house mechl bers are out of town. but they have just adjourned.
5:01 pm
oush chief national correspondent is with us. new information on behind-the-scenes talks going only there at the capitol. any progress to report? >> well, don, i'd like to say that there seems to be some kind of a break in the impasse. unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be one. it was in for less than four hours. this is what he had to say about his conversation that he just recently had.
5:02 pm
and there you have harry reid. i have sto tell you, don, i spoke to somebody very familiar with negotiation and this person said do not kbpt substantive tonight. this is actually very problem sm for tomorrow morning. we'm starlt to see some movement on those markets, i'm sure. >> it sounds like we can all just pack it up and go home. mark is saying no deal. what's the president doing today? who's he been talking to? >> he's been talking to nancy pelosi. and the reason why that was important, the president called a member of his own party.
5:03 pm
it says that the president reiter rated his position. that he will ak september nothing less than a clean, continuing rez lugsz and a clean debt ceiling inl crease. glp that's basically the president's same position the sbierl time. he has the you wanter hand and he can praelly push the republicans to ak september his poibt of view on this. we're just going to have to see what they come up with there's not that much time licht. all republicans blocked it.
5:04 pm
john, you know, we're headed towards the serious deadline first, it was over obama care. was this the strategy all the time? >> well, don, it commends on which republicans we're talking about. this is an sbhernl family feud. speaker boehner's position all along has within that he didn't want to shut down the government. but once the dwovlt was shut down, let's do with this one bifl. he thought he'd only have to have one tufl vote for his moem bers.
5:05 pm
he says i'm willing to negotiate. the problem is there's so little trust. even within the republican party. those tea party members, it looks like once dwen, washington is going to dance up to a didline. i just thought about those protesters. what happened? >> well, as you know, don, and you eve been fauking about this, there have been these protests going on outside the world war ii memorial here in washington. a lot of veterans groups are upset that they can't get inside those memorials.
5:06 pm
they carried those barricades over and piled them so high that conceivably, these protesters could have scaled the fence at one point. that is what alarmed u.s. police officers to come out in riot gear and on horse back to make sure that this thing did not escalate. luckily, everything ended peacefully. don, this got very you cannily. they were saying things that you can't say in that protest who wanted to do this peacefully.
5:07 pm
it seems very odd. it's the lawmaker who is actually shut the government down. the president didn't shut the government down, it was republicans. it was john cain and members of the tea party. i want you to listen to one of the speakers at the rally and then we'll talk. >> i call upon all of you to wage a seconds american nonviolent revolution. to use single dpis obedience. to put the koran down.
5:08 pm
and to figuratively come out with his hands up. look, the president is a christian. we could go through this if you want, but we don't have to. are they would like the president to know goeshuate only social security and medicare. they're not interested in governing. watch all the e-mails flying around saying send me money.
5:09 pm
and they up the ante. that's one of the reasons the democrats think we'll just sit back and see how this plays out. they believe tea par tiff people mieblgt jump up and cheer that. but the presidents believe that in the wide swath of america, people just shake their heads. they can see through that. many of the people are roughening for office. >> what's interesting is we haerd from some ceos. these are men and women who run titans of inl dust ri.
5:10 pm
i would kpcht tomorrow morning you're going to hear from business breasts that washington cannot get their act together. not only on opening the government, but, more importantly, on increasing that debt ceiling. >> thank you, guyings. appreciate all of you. in the meantime, we want to talk about a cold case. it's solved now. next, the detect i have who never gaf up in his search for her killer joins us live. later, wrongfully convicted of beating and killing a man. now he oogs telling his story in

5:14 pm
ncht . >> it was an unthinkable crime. now, after two decades long -- a two-decades long investigation, police say they have found the killer of the child known as baby hope. a lead detective on the case and has waited more than two decades for this arrest. mr. georgeio, thank you so much. how did you hear an arrest was going to be made and what was your reaction? >> well, over the past 22 years, ever since we caught the case, i being the eternal optimist,
5:15 pm
always felt that someday, there would be an arrest in this case. but always holding out the hope that someone would step up or call everyone anonymously without identifying themselves which would give us the lead whereby we could track down the killer. this year, we got lucky. a woman called and she'd gave information that she had been holding only to for a number of years when she first learned from a young lady who stated that she was the sister of baby hope. she didn't believe it. it kind of bothered her and she disz cussed it with a coworker and the coworker was very surprised.
5:16 pm
she said you never reported it to police? she said no, i never did. she then called ksh -- i believe it was crime stoppers, the tips lienl. and gave what information she had. and nen old fashioned detective work kicked in. whereby they got information from the system. they got information from her. i understand they then spoke to the mom. i'm sure there were other people in between there. the job that they dids was outstanding. absolutely outstanding. it was good old police work that finally paid off. listen, i know this is very personal to your case. you baulgt her a white dress for
5:17 pm
her burial. she was strewly our baby. >> gid you think all along that it might be a family member? or it was close to angelica? >> yes, there was conjecture on our part. but as detectives, you sit
5:18 pm
around, and you discuss the case. maybe a phone tip or something would come in. it had to be someone who had control over this child. those suggestions were thrown out because where no one stepped up and said, excuse me, that little girl is my niece or my cousin or related to me or related to my next door neighbor. i used to see her visit. well, no one called a miss vp missing person's report. and on that day, we haven't seen any information that a child of her approximate age wulz reported missing, we knew we had a mystery on our hands.
5:19 pm
>> thank you, detective. we appreciate. >> all right. >> up next -- >> rioting in the streets. hundreds of college students take on police when a block party turns ugly. so you can have a getaway from what you know. so you can be surprised by what you don't. get two times the points on travel and dining at restaurants from chase sapphire preferred. so you can taste something that wakes up your soul. chase sapphire preferred so you can. consider this: when the storms are this powerful, the batteries had better be powerful, too. introducing duracell quantum. only duracell quantum has a hi-density core.

so this video is cops clashing with students. that youtube video shows police using smoke, flash bags and pepper spray to try to break up the hundreds of party goeers. aumpszs say the students became violent when they arrived throwing bottles at buss and cars and then them. >> we've got grot something that you've seen on you're local news. when police respond, these so-called emotionally disturbed people are stoims shot, sometimes killed. here's a good example. this insz dent, last month in new york city.
5:24 pm
police fired at a man they called emotionally disturbed. he was wave vp we'ving through traffic in times square. people usually say why didn't they or their family call for help before something like this happened. >> elsa cruise was worried when her husband samuel kicked her out of the apartment for no aparent reason. >> she thought she was calling for an blanls. but instead, they sent police. they say samuel lunged at him with a knife.
5:25 pm
he was an emotionally disturbed person. >> we had a record of possible violence, in other words, a gun shootingment. >> rosa flores is joining me now live. more of this story runs tomorrow with a legal view. but rosa, why don't you tell us a little bit more about this. >> they recall asking for a chag of policy.

another case involving a young man who seemed depress ted. now, she regrets making that phone call. but like you said, we covered a lot of these in the news. where people questioned why didn't they seek help or maybe their families seek help. this prapgs opens a window into what's happening in a lot of homes and communities. i look forward to your rorting. it's 11:00 a.m. eastern on the legal view. make sure you tune in for that. no deal yet in washington.

5:30 pm
we are no closer to solving the government shutdown than we were this time yesterday or the day before that or the day before that or the day before that. just a few minutes ago, the gnat adjourn adjourned after a nearly four hour session. they made no progress. the senate will reconvene tomorrow. of course, we'll keep you posted. if anything is going to get washington's attention, it could be what happens tomorrow morning at 9:30.
5:31 pm
that's when the opening bell rings. it could be a tough day on wall street. allison, what's the markt expected to do tomorrow? >> well, what you're going to see wall street do tomorrow is watching washington, d.c., real lil, watching the ret ricket that comes out of washington, d.c. and if the market per proceeds, there's going to be no deal. we saw that optimism in the final three days of the week last week, wednesday through friday. look at thursday, the dow jones 323 points. that's the big esz poipt game since september 2011. and by the time they added, there were 420 total.
5:32 pm
you may see stocks do a sharp 180. >> how worried are investors about the dell ceiling? is there an expectation that there will be no deal? >> el with, i mean, the way wall street sees, tweenl the shutdown and the debt ceiling issue, the debt ceilingish shup is winding up to be a bigger deal. if the debt creaming sntd raised. all of this, you can't forget. this is really having an effect on consumer confidence. gallop came out with a poll
5:33 pm
fiending that consumer confidence has fallen to itsds lowest level since lehman. it it's not a good sign to see that confidence go down. woe're seeing it affect the recovery, too. right now, we want to take a radical approach to the future. what if apple paid officer the school system or ford paid for mail dlif riff two days a week? a senior political reporter is with me now. should they start doing this? >> well, republicans would say absolutely.
5:34 pm
that's the rule that they've been saying for years that the private sector could play a much bigger role and the government is just too big. but, remember, dorn, this is a government that spends $3.5 trillion, or tlooegs it did in fisz kal year 2012. that's about a quarter of the gross domestic product of this country. so whether the private sector could plant the role that the government plays in the economy,it's really a stretch. the goft really has such a huge impact on the economy. which is why a prolonged shutdown, it could have a drastic effect.
5:35 pm
ut can help. but there are things that seshly average folks or people who have wealthy earners or companies just simply cannot replace. actually and services, trarngs poration services and so forth. >> if this doesn't work, i mean, if this wouldn't work, then what does the white house do? things would be funded individually. bills would be takable up and be
