pelosi. she said despite the democrats' huge loss, she has no regrets. >> now in an abc news exclusive we are hearing from the next speaker, john boehner. how will he and president obama get along? here's diane sawyer. >> reporter: in the year of going rogue, the inexperienced activist outsider candidates -- the man who will be speaker now, john boehner, is a bit of a bridge back to the traditional party insider. polished, even old-fashioned. the president's extended an

invitation to come meet together. what's the first sentence you're going to say to him? >> hello, nice to see you. listen, i have no personal animosity at all towards the president. i get along well with him. and while we disagree, we try to do it in a way that's neither one of us are disagreeable. >> and then there are the raucous new members of congress from his own party. a reality show star. an iraq war veteran who rides a harley. is it going to be complicated? >> growing up with 11 brothers and sisters and working in my dad's bar, all the lessons i learned growing up are the lessons i need to do my job. when you grow up like i did, mopping floors and doing dishes, waiting tables, tending bar. you learn to deal with every character that walks in the door. >> reporter: he talks a lot about them. the close family, 12 kids living together in a two bedroom house outside cincinnati with their parents. >> i've seen that picture

before. i'm the little brown one. my parents were -- they're the most easy-going people you've ever met. and one of the -- i think the greatest gifts they gave me was that of patience. >> reporter: he put himself through college working odd jobs and said he met his wife when he was a janitor and throwing out her trash. you were telling me that you've never had any debt? any debt of any kind in your life? >> germans, you know. we're savers, we're not spenders. i wouldn't describe myself as a penny pinscher. i don't mind spending money -- >> no mortgage? >> no, no, i -- 15 years paid it off and that was the end of that. >> reporter: and he says the hard-working, frugal roots are where he gets his passionate opposition to what he has called tax and spend. >> congress is going to come back in a lame duck session. we have to deal with two issues. spending and taxes. i believe that extending all the current tax rates for all

americans is the best policy. i don't think washington has a revenue problem. i think washington has a spending problem. >> reporter: he says he's also determined to do something to change that health care bill he fought hard to stop. this is a mandate to repeal? >> i don't know if i would call it a mandate, but i believe that obama care will ruin the best health care system in the world. and i believe it will bankrupt our country. >> how sure are you you'll get a repeal? a full-out repeal of health care? >> well, i'm pretty confident that come next year, we will have the votes to repeal that bill. >> and before we leave you, what do you want the american people to know that being speaker of the house would mean to you? >> i'm a regular guy with a big job. and i didn't come to washington because i wanted to be a congressman. i came here to do something. i want to cut spending, create

jobs, repeal health care, and fix the institution of the congress itself. the place is perfect. and i've watched both parties contribute to building up the scar tissue between the two parties. especially here in the house. and i want an opportunity to heal the house and restore the institution of the congress for the american people. >> now there's so many questions as to what nancy pelosi will be doing once she steps down. some high-level people in the democratic party tell abc news she's considering running for the position of minority leader so we may not have seen the end of her either. >> it seems like both nancy pelosi and john boehner have been the beacons for the other side to sort of lob whacks at each other, so we'll see. hopefully they can just cut it all out and get things done. >> when we return, it's time for your "skinny."

running into some more problems. we know the problems with danny bonaduce, david cassidy ran into some issues. he was in florida, he was caught apparently driving under the influence. they arrested him and they tested his blood alcohol, which measured about .13 or .14, allegedly, which is over the .08 legal limit. and he lives in ft. lauderdale now. he was released at 3:22 a.m. thursday morning. now he's facing dui charges. >> of course "the partridge family" was huge. >> huge show, he's a big teen star. he's run into some legal problems. >> that's a sad turn of events. here's another story that caught our eye this morning and another one that's hard to believe. a former "bachelorette" contestant was found dead on the side of the highway. he watched the gillian harris season, which was 2009. you may or may not remember this guy, his name is julien hug.

one of the reasons you may not remember him, he didn't receive a rose by the second episode so he was eventually sent home. he was first reported missing on monday, then his body was found two days later in a remote area off of a highway. right now they're saying the area where he was found, you had to hike to get there. so there's no word on if there's any foul play. they're saying that the autopsy is scheduled for later. it is just a sad passing. and of course as you can imagine, gillian harris and a lot of the other cast members were offering their condolences to the family, saying what a great guy he was. >> apparently he was going to run his family's restaurant or something like that. very strange, they don't know exactly what happened. in the rap world, another star is free after being jailed on weapons charges. lil wayne is out. he was released from rikers island on thursday morning. eventually making his way down to his florida home. on his twitter account, which he has 1 million followers, he wrote i'm baaaaack! >> he's stressing that because

he actually wrote the baaaaack! >> he wrote it out for all the people just in case. looks like that really takes up 140 characters there. anyway, so he's out, and look for more music from him. he exchanged some i love yous with his partner there, his manager, his mom, and some fans who are actually at rikers island, to see him released. but he's going to be on three years' probation. >> oh, right, so he's going to have to keep his nose clean. >> better toe the line. >> he is the best rapper alive. isn't that him? >> exactly. >> you know what i'm talking about if you've heard it. >> if you don't -- >> you'll just think i'm crazy. let's talk about the super nanny. this is interesting. if you're a fan of the show you know she has a huge following, makes tens of millions of dollars. she's leaving the show. she says basically she needs more balance in her life. incredibly successful but she says she's been living out of a suitcase for years, often for as many as 47 heavy weeks a year. she says she wants to fall in love and she wants to start a family of her own, and she says hopefully not doing this will

>> reporter: later this morning, president obama will depart for a whirlwind, ten-day, four-country trip. a mixed bag of politics, policy, and a little bit of the past. the city where he lived as a young boy, jakarta. this time, the red carpet will be rolled out. the highlight of his stop will be a big speech on democracy development and outreach to muslim communities across the world. in india, the president will stay at the iconic taj hotel, the site of the 2008 terrorist attack. he'll commemorate that day by visiting with some of the families of those lost in the attacks. he'll speak about counterterrorism efforts. the president will also hold a summit with u.s./india businesses, speak about the potential of both countries to expand together. but the big issue at every stop is the global economic recovery. with stops at the g-20 summit in south korea and the apec summit in japan.

sun len miller, abc news, at the white house. well, the president should not expect any criticism from the man who held the job just before him. former president george bush sat down with oprah winfrey to talk about his new memoir, which is due out next week. mr. bush told oprah he will not comment on president obama or the job he's doing, and he also has no plans to return to the political limelight. >> i'm through with politics. it's hard for people to believe. i already said that, i am through. >> is that why you haven't commented on what obama is doing or how he's doing it? >> no, because i want to treat my successor the way i'd like to have been treated. i don't think it's good for a former president to be opining on every darn issue. he's got a plenty tough job, trust me. he's going to have plenty of critics and he doesn't need me criticizing him. i don't think it's good for the presidency. other people have a different point of view. >> you can catch the interview with the former president next tuesday on "the oprah winfrey show." we finally have a winner in the very close race for senate in washington state. incumbent patty murray survived a strong republican challenge, eking out a 51% of the vote

share. murray told supporters last night in seattle she'll fight for middle-class tax cuts. among her other priorities, helping the boeing company win a lucrative air force contract. the new unemployment report is out just a few hours and the thought is it will show some signs of stability. the jobless rate is expected to remain at 9.6% but it's likely to show there are 80,000 new hires last month. there are concerns about layoffs in the factory and construction sectors. the man baseball knew simply as sparky has died. george lee "sparky" anderson led cincinnati's big red machine to back-to-back world series titles in the '70s. he later managed the detroit tigers to a championship. famous for his white hair, anderson is one of two managers to win a world series in both leagues. he died yesterday from complications of dementia. sparky anderson was 76 years old. overseas now, the death toll from indonesia's mt. merapi

earth, this is the closest you will ever get to a comet called hartley 2. a little ship called deep impact came within 400 miles of it, way out here 13 million miles in space. there's no tail. the comet is so far from the sun that it's frozen, mostly ice and dust. but those streamers on the sides are places where ice is vaporizing in the sunlight. they act as jets, making the comet tumble. >> not just simple rotation. it's probably doing this as well. it may be doing this. it may be doing this. all on top of that. >> reporter: scientists say comets are important because they may in a way be our ancestors. it is possible that when the earth was young, the solar system was much more crowded than it is today. and comets crashing into the new planet brought much of the water we have now, and perhaps also the chemical building blocks of life. so take a good look at comet hartley 2.

it may be our great great grand parents. ned potter, abc news, kennedy space center, florida. >> it really is beautiful to see. they're saying that this is actually one of the smallest comets to actually be photographed, which is no easy task to get something like this captured on film. >> no, it's interesting. recently i went to the museum of natural history, so they have a lot of information and obviously exhibits dealing with space and comets and meteorites. you just really realize how insignificant we are when you see stories like this. and how cool it is that we're able to capture these and sort of document everything that we can, and what's happening up there in the outer beyond, you know what i mean? >> it's kind of a reminder most of us choose not to acknowledge. we'll be right back.

>> i believe i said it the correct way. >> hm. really, the only question i have for you is, who do you hang out with? who would a force for evil hang out with? >> many of the members of aerosmith. yes. >> i suspected, but i didn't know you were going another way. >> they're great pals. >> you know, you sound like annoyingly like will ferrell the actor. >> because it's me. yeah. it was me the whole time. >> how disappointing. >> well, i know, because it's so hard to get an interview with him. >> it has to be a kick, though, when you make an animated movie to not go to hair and makeup. >> very much so. >> can you just go to the studio, just looking -- >> looking any way you want. i can wear my plush velour robe if i want. smoke my pipe. >> they allow that? >> they do. >> anything you want? >> anything you want. >> well, i've tried before. >> right.

>> to explain a little about what "megamind" is and you've seen it. having you here, you would know. you might have no interest in the other characters, which often happens. >> which is true, yeah. >> but megamind. >> animation process reinforces that, because you're just alone doing your own part. it's perfect. >> and it's 3d. >> 3d. >> yeah. >> but megamind is the story of a super-evil genius who has dedicated his life to defeating metro man. voiced by mr. brad pitt. of course. have you ever gotten to talk to him? >> i have. >> really? oh. i'm still waiting. >> who was little wilfer going to be? >> well, at first he was going to be someone who was going to get a real job. i don't know what that meant. but i think i had a 1950s persona in my head i was going

to carry a briefcase. maybe even wear a hat. and go to work. but that -- i never figured out what that was going to be. and then once i graduated from college, i actually, believe it or not, moved back to the mean streets of irvine. >> with your parents? >> with my mom. and thought, hm. because i had a degree in sports journalism. >> all right. >> that was going to be the plan. but then i thought, i want to try comedy, i want to try all these other things. so that's where i started this. >> sports journalism in the right hands could be funny. >> could be, yeah. but -- so i ventured out again and started slowly exploring all these things. sketch comedy. and so i didn't -- i don't know if i knew what i was going to be but i knew i was going to give it a shot and see what would happen. >> if there's a song in your head for "megamind" that would be going on in his head, that

would be something he's thinking? >> okay. >> song for megamind. >> song for megamind. ♪ my name is megamind and my leather pants are way too tight ♪ ♪ they're way too tight but that's the look i've chosen ♪ ♪ leather and studs and a beautiful cape ♪ ♪ that's the look i've chosen, because you want to know why, i just want to be loved ♪ >> thank you. >> thanks, peter. >> as hard as it is to believe we were able to recreate those really expensive graphics that will ferrell had there at the beginning. >> i don't know what you're talking about. >> we are megamind. >> we do have cameos in the

movie -- we don't, actually. >> if you're wondering how the movie is doing, rotten tomatoes gives it 66 and says 82% of their audience wants to see it again. >> big names or voices i should say. uh oh. sorry, son. you still have too many of 'em. tt>fd@=7÷#-3w9"qqú a'pvag"@58 4 [ female announcer ] you can't pass inspection with lots of pieces left behind. that's why there's new charmin ultra strong. ttvwkun+og#wvs#q'ppu;v?2v.ac=u6l4&p/wlñkñ0k9%"@nkg.@úf;4p its enhanced diamondweave texture is soft and more durable versus the ultra rippled brand. ttvwkun+og#wvs#q'ppu;v?2v.ac=u.lt$p/wlñkñ0k9%"@nkg.@úfz[$ more durable so it holds up better for a dependable clean. fewer pieces left behind. looks good son!

> tropical trouble. the unrest in haiti. widespread anger before a powerful storm. with the midterm elections behind us, the question is, now what? for many the answer is, let's go shopping. and, thunderbird thrill. >> you will love it. you will absolutely love it. >> our amazing flight. a tribute to the shuttle's final voyage. it's friday, november 5th. >> from abc news, this is "world news now." >> good morning and thanks for being with us on this busy friday morning. i'm vinita nair. >> i'm mike marusarz in for rob nelson this morning. one of the most desperate places on earth is preparing for another devastating blow.

tomas is battering haiti with heavy rain and wind this morning. >> more than 1 million earthquake victims are living in makeshift tent cities. now they are being pushed to abandon them. matt gutman is there and has the reaction. >> reporter: it was anger born out of fear. with tomas likely to trigger landslides and massive flooding, aid workers tried to evacuate thousands here in one of haiti's biggest tent cities. those workers were quickly besieged. the evacuees refused to go. but within seconds this crowd swelled from dozens to hundreds, tearing through the camp, smashing tables and chairs. what these people have been yelling for the past 15 minutes we are not going to leave. their fear is that if they do leave, they'll never be allowed to come back. to these tents. the only home they have left. efforts to calm the crowd failed. and they drove their potential

saviors out of town. there was no real violence, only the threat of it. hours later, hundreds relented and boarded the trucks. but a real threat, this storm could worsen a cholera outbreak here that has already killed over 400 people. u.n. officials expect up to 500,000 people need immediate assistance, including tents, tarps and food. but getting it to them will be a challenge. the roads here in this country remain nearly impassable. almost everywhere you go you see debris from that earthquake. matt gutman, abc news, port-au-prince, haiti. that same storm is being blamed for a plane crash in central cuba. all 68 people on board were killed. the turboprop took off from haiti. and went down in a remote area near the village. after the pilot declared an emergency. the airliner was headed to havana where it's been raining heavily through the night. and this morning a small plane carrying 22 people went down shortly after takeoff from karachi, pakistan.

there were no survivors of this crash. just before going down the pilot reported having engine trouble. it is the second plane crash disaster in pakistan this year. in july, 152 people were killed when a jetliner crashed in a storm near pakistan's capital. well, it is take two for all those passengers who were on that frightening qantas airlines flight. they are back at the singapore airport this morning boarding new flights to australia. none was traveling on an airbus a380. qantas has grounded their fleet while it investigates the midair engine blowout. they want to know why the engines broke apart after an apparent explosion. we finally have a winner in the very close race for senate in washington state. incumbent patty murray survived a strong republican challenge eking out just 51% of the vote. murray told supporters last night in seattle that she'll fight for middle-class tax cuts. among her other priorities, helping the boeing company win a lucrative air force contract. president obama is switching

his focus to foreign policy now heading out on a ten-day trip to asia. >> but republicans in congress are keeping the heat on the president's domestic agenda. john hendren is joining us from washington with more. good morning, john. >> reporter: good morning, vinita and mike. after the shellacking comes the outreach. later this month after the president returns from a trip to asia, republicans will come to the white house for a meeting with the president and democratic leaders. >> this is going to be a meeting in which i want us to talk substantively about how we can move the american people's agenda forward. >> reporter: they'll come with their own agenda and a stronger negotiating position. but what exactly can the president and the republicans who will soon control the house agree on? the white house signaled the president might be open to a temporary extension of the bush tax cuts for the wealthy for one or two years if that's the price of making sure the tax cuts on the middle class don't expire in december. republican leaders don't seem to be entirely on board. john boehner, the man expected to become the next speaker of the house, says democrats are in denial that voters have been rejecting their policies. senate republican leader mitch

mcconnell says his top priority now is making sure mr. obama is a one-term president. >> if our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill, to end the bailouts, cut spending and shrink the size and scope of government, the only way to do all of those things is put someone in the white house that won't veto any of these things. >> he'll have to move toward them. one area that could become contentious in these meetings is health care reform. republicans want to repeal it. president obama says he's open to tweaks and improvements but not major changes. vinita and mike? all right, the president won't be getting any criticism from the man who held the job before him. former president george bush sat down with oprah winfrey to talk about his new memoir which is due out next week. mr. bush told oprah he has no comment on the current president, and he also has no plans to return to the political limelight. >> i'm through with politics. it's hard for people to believe.

i already said, that i am through. >> is that why you haven't commented on what obama is doing or how he's doing it? >> no, because i want to treat my successor the way i'd like to have been treated. i don't think it's good for a former president to be out there opining on every darn issue. he's got a plenty tough job, trust me. there's going to be plenty of critics and he doesn't need me criticizing him. i don't think it's good for the presidency. other people have a different point of view. >> you can catch the entire interview with former president bush next tuesday on "the oprah winfrey show." wall street will be watching for the latest unemployment report out later this morning. economists say it will be good news. they predict the nation's jobless rate will still be at 9.6% but they also expect it to say 80,000 new hires were made last month. there are concerns about layoffs in the factory and construction sectors. here's a look at your weather. a chilly, wet day for much of the east. early season lake-effect snow along the eastern great lakes. even florida gets some showers, mostly dry out west. >> 55 in new york.

even cooler 53 in atlanta. 45 in minneapolis. 64 in dallas. warmer in colorado and montana today. 72 in colorado springs. 71 in billings. and a welcome low to mid 80s in southern california after two days of record heat. take some of what we have, get some of what you have. >> let's do a trade. nasa will try, try and try again to get the space shuttle "discovery" off the ground this afternoon. >> the launch attempt scheduled for yesterday was canceled because of rain. but conditions are expected to be a bit better today. >> and when it goes, it will be "discovery's" final journey. our own ned potter strapped himself in for a special good-bye. >> reporter: the space shuttle "discovery" is on a sentimental journey. its last flight into space ever. and the air force thunderbirds came to salute it. but before all that, a one-hour flight for a total newbie, me. that's our pilot, captain kristin hubbard. inevitably nicknamed "mother." in a brightly painted f-16 fighter jet we're going to go soaring up the florida coast

right over the shuttle launch pad. on the way we're going to do a few aerobatics. we're really going to do that? >> you will love it. you will absolutely love it. >> reporter: the ground crew fits me in a flight suit, a parachute harness, and gives me a small white bag. about half their passengers get sick during loop the loops. takeoff is quick. and then hubbard pulls the nose of the plane straight up. >> look back. nice, deep breath. look back. >> reporter: the ground is behind us. and then as we arc over, it's above us. hubbard flies a big, high arc. for a few seconds, we're weightless. >> zero g right there. >> yes, i'm just letting my arms float now. >> reporter: i confess i forgot where the little white bag was, perhaps because of the view. we fly over the space shuttle, cradled in its gantry. >> we're making a beautiful pass. from this high it looks like a toy.

it isn't. >> reporter: we come back to base. the ground crew gathers around us. i was kind of prepared to be freaked out and maybe i was a little but i was not -- i did not expect to be moved. we talked with one pilot about the expense of having the thunderbirds, and he said it's worth it if it gets young kids excited. if they want to join the air force and protect their country, he said, what's that worth? ned potter, abc news, kennedy space center, florida. >> we should applaud ned, he did not throw up while doing all of that. >> which is impressive. most people do. when you take off you go straight up and that's where you pull a lot of the gs. we'll be right back. >> speaking from personal experience? >> yeah, you know, i was a standby to go up. i went through all the routines. the guy who did actually go did lose his lunch. >> we'll be right back.

when you hear someone is on

a gluten-free diet you probably think they are allergic to wheat. >> odds are they are really on the latest hollywood it diet. terry moran explains what going gluten-free is all about and why it can also be dangerous. >> reporter: victoria beckham is doing it. so is rachel weiss. and gwyneth paltrow raves about it. it might not sound sexy but going gluten-free is hot in hollywood right now. and those who do it say the results range from weight loss to more restful nights to clearer skin. it's today's it diet. this summer, chelsea clinton's massive nine-tiered wedding cake was even baked with gluten-free flour. 45 pounds of it. jenny mccarthy goes so far as to credit the diet with curing her son's autism, a claim not confirmed by hard science. what is gluten? it's a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and other grains and

many processed foods. soups, salad dressings, and sauces too. how hard is it to go gluten-free? >> this is my like special refrigerator. i feel like my name should be on here. this is where i hang out. >> reporter: we went to whole foods with elizabeth hasselbeck, one of the co-hosts of "the view." she's written a book called "the g free diet" and she's a big advocate. >> everything from bread crumbs to cookies to bagels, it's there. pie crust is there. >> reporter: hasselbeck has celiac disease, a genetic disorder that causes an intolerance to gluten. so all those foods with wheat, barley, and rye were making her sick for years. until she found out. >> my main goal always is trying to find gluten-free food that tastes like i remember it tasting. >> do you think i'd be better off reducing or eliminating gluten from my diet? >> i think that if you gave yourself a challenge where you went gluten-free, you would find

that your energy levels would soar and that you would like how you felt every single day. >> reporter: but after we spoke with hasselbeck, we went to columbia university medical center and spoke with a doctor who knows all about gluten-free diets. he says there's no scientific evidence to support all the claims in hollywood and elsewhere about gluten-free living. are there benefits for a person who doesn't have celiac disease in adopting a gluten-free diet? >> not that i'm aware of. >> reporter: not only that, but there's no guarantee of weight loss. and it's likely bad for you to cut out all glutens. >> a gluten-free diet is not entirely healthy. often it lacks fiber. and the manufacturers of wheat flour fortify wheat flour with vitamins and minerals. >> reporter: popularized in a scene on "gossip girls," babycakes bakery in downtown manhattan is filled with

gluten-free goodies. cakes to doughnuts to brownies to cupcakes. what's not in your cupcakes? >> there is no gluten no dairy, no eggs no soy, no refined sugar, no preservatives. >> reporter: it's those missing nutrients that make a diet entirely devoid of gluten unhealthy for most people. >> it's been demonstrated that if you're on a gluten-free diet long-term, you can actually become b vitamin deficient. >> reporter: but for those who suffer from celiac disease, and for their families, a place like babycakes is a godsend. >> put these in the fridge if you don't eat them right away, okay? >> we get a lot of episodes of mothers crying because their children can finally choose whatever they want. their kids have been without desserts for so long. >> reporter: and that's the best thing about this latest dietary fad. while it's not for everyone. >> i think i'm going to do a caramel crunch.

>> okay. >> then i'm going to have dessert. >> reporter: for millions of people. >> mm! >> it's good, right? >> very good. >> reporter: life's getting a lot tastier. >> that's really good. >> have some coffee with it. >> i'm going to be a regular. >> i'm dieing to know what those taste like. when we return, the memorable sounds and sights from the past week. >> from the historic world series champs to election night. political rhetoric next in our "quotes of the week." ext in our "quotes of the week."

for our right to vote, for our freedom to choose. to honor them today, almost 12% of us went out and voted. >> i'm not recommending for every future president that they take a shellacking like i did last night. you know, i'm sure there are easier ways to learn these lessons. >> i congratulate john boehner. i assume that he will be the speaker, that's what i hear. i look forward to seeing what i can do for job creation. >> i spent my whole life chasing the american dream. ♪ it's the greatest strongest country in the world ♪ ♪ my roll of toilet paper used up 67 trees ♪ ♪ there's no one more american than me ♪ >> except me! >> we are refugees.

haiti's hell. haiti's hell. upset earthquake survivors facing another disaster. the anger and preparations for today's storm. air scare. >> we thought it was just loud. but you know, everybody sort of was pretty shaken by it. >> the major problem on a huge jumbo jet. and, marathon miner. he was trapped for 69 days. now this guy's really ready to run. it's friday, november 5th. >> from abc news, this is "world news now." >> so many people interested in hearing what pena has to say. the man who sort of is the face person now for the new york city marathon in some ways. >> how many times do you think you'll hear that chilean chant?

>> don't sing it, it just gets stuck in your head. >> it's going to be a great sight for the thousands of people running in the marathon. should be fun. >> yeah, should be. good morning and thanks for being with us on this friday. i'm vinita nair. >> i'm mike marusarz sitting in for rob nelson. heavy rain is falling on haiti this morning as tomas grows more powerful. >> more than 1 million homeless earthquake survivors already facing a cholera epidemic are now scrambling for shelter and struggling for survival. matt gutman is there. >> reporter: at tent corral one of haiti's largest tent cities, fear grows into anger. residents of the camp didn't want to leave their homes, which are these tents, because it's all they have left. they fear if they leave they won't be allowed to come back and might lose whatever little they have. people don't want to go anywhere without their tents because it is the only shelter they have. >> they've got very few possessions, they've got a lot of children. they're weak, they're tired, they spend a lot of time every day struggling to survive.

>> reporter: the tents are likely no match from this approaching storm, tomas, expected to bring dangerous storm surge, about a foot of rain, and could trigger mud slides and floods that might send tent cities across haiti sliding off mountains. the haitian government and international relief organizations are urging people to move to higher ground. many are supplying the mandatory evacuation order. we have to move, this woman says, to save our lives. but many have no place to go. they told us we have to move, she says, but where, she asks. united nations officials expect up to 500,000 people need immediate assistance, including tents, tarps and food. getting it to them will be a challenge. the roads in this country remain nearly impassable. nearly everywhere you go, you see debris from that earthquake. matt gutman, abc news, port-au-prince, haiti. tomas may be to blame for a plane crash in cuba and there are apparently no survivors.

the airliner was flying from haiti to havana when it crashed in a remote area of cuba. 68 people were on board including 28 foreigners. the turboprop's pilot had declared an emergency before losing contact with air traffic controllers. it was one of the last flights out of haiti ahead of the incoming storm. well, we are having some extreme weather here at home as well. southern california will finally get relief from a wave of record heat. the mercury soared to 97 in l.a. and hit 100 in san diego. the extraordinary and unexpected heat sent several runners at a high school track meet to the hospital. now here is a look at your weather. cool winds from the pacific could bring relief to southern california and the coast today. pleasant in texas. blustery in the upper plains. another wet day in the east but chillier. early season snow showers along the eastern great lakes. >> 76 in sacramento. 58 in seattle. 68 in salt lake city. 49 in fargo. a chilly 42 in chicago.

a soggy 54 in baltimore. and 57 in boston. being on that frightening qantas airlines flight when it had a midair engine blowout, hundreds of passengers were back at singapore's airport today, boarding new planes. they have now taken off for australia, a day late. lisa stark has more on the incident that extended their trip. >> reporter: passengers on the crippled jet could see a hole in the wing, ripped apart when the engine shredded. >> we have a technical issue with the number two engine. >> reporter: the super jumbo jet returned to singapore for an emergency landing with one of its engines in tatters. the airbus a-380 was bound from singapore to sydney, australia, with 466 on board. the rolls royce engine, one of four, flew apart shortly after takeoff. passengers saw flames and smoke. >> we thought it's just loud. but, you know, everybody was sort of pretty shaken by it.

>> reporter: pieces of the engine and wing rained down. this is called an uncontained engine failure, when parts of the engine fly out at high speed. those pieces can cause massive damage to the aircraft itself. engines are now designed and tested to try to prevent these catastrophic failures. this is the actual a-380 engine test. one of the fan blades is purposely broken while the engine is spinning at high speed. you can see the flaming debris. it is contained within that engine shell. that's how it's supposed to work. >> it looks from the pictures as if it's the rear part of the engine which has failed. that means the combustion chambers or the turbine. the turbine blades, if they fail, that's serious because they have a lot of energy when they come out of the engine. >> reporter: airlines that fly the a-380 with rolls royce engines have been ordered to inspect those engines. qantas has grounded its 380 fleet as the investigation continues. lisa stark, abc news, washington. there's positive economic news this morning, from all places, starbucks.

the worldwide coffee chain suffered in the recession but that appears to be over. it reportedly making nearly $279 million in the summer quarter. that's nearly double the earnings from the last year's same time frame. starbucks shares were up yesterday and climbed even higher after the earnings report was issued. >> we certainly support it heavily here at abc news. president obama leaves washington today on the longest foreign trip of his term. he will spend ten days in asia. >> when he gets back he'll turn his focus on the new congress. and also host a high-level meeting with leaders of both parties. john hendren is joining us from washington with more. john? >> reporter: good morning, vinita and mike. later this month, president obama plans a get-together with republicans and democrats at the white house. but it's not clear cooperation is on the menu. >> hello, everybody. >> reporter: at a meeting with his cabinet, president obama reached out to newly empowered republicans. >> we can't afford two years of just squabbling. >> reporter: it's a symbolic

gesture but he'll offer republicans an outstretched hand for real on november 18th at a white house meeting with congressional leaders of both parties. >> this is going to be a meeting in which i want us to talk substantively about how we can move the american people's agenda forward. >> reporter: but what exactly can the president and the republicans who will soon control the house agree on? the white house signaled the president might be open to a temporary extension of the bush tax cuts for the wealthy, for one or two years. if that's the price of making sure the tax cuts on the middle class don't expire in december. >> we have to act in order to assure that middle class families don't see a big tax spike. >> reporter: the president has also talked about working with republicans on deficit reduction, education, and earmark reform. republican leaders don't seem to be entirely on board. >> our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny president obama a second term. >> there seems to be some denial on the part of the president and other democrat leaders, you would think that the other party

would understand that the american people have clearly repudiated the policies that they put forward the last two years. >> reporter: just don't call it the slurpee summit. >> i don't know about slurpee, how about a glass of merlot. >> reporter: nancy pelosi will no longer be house speaker next year but she says she's being urged to run for another post, this time minority leader. vinita and mike? as you know the holiday season is coming up. maybe you're looking for some new gift ideas. that is where the folks at the topeka, kansas zoo come in. >> that's where the elephants at the topeka zoo come in. not to mention their waste. >> that is some graphic footage. zookeepers are collecting it and when it dries, volunteers are decorating and selling it. they say, believe it or not, that when it dries it does not smell. >> oh, okay, all right. there you go. >> now it's more enticing, right? >> all the proceeds go to charity, so they say there's plenty to buy. the elephants surprisingly are always making more. >> can we go to break? i don't need to see that tail lift one more time. there it is, okay.

yesterday, we heard from yesterday, we heard from outgoing speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. she said despite the democrats' huge loss, she has no regrets. >> now in an abc news exclusive we are hearing from the next speaker, john boehner. how will he and president obama get along? here's diane sawyer. >> reporter: in the year of going rogue, the inexperienced activist outsider candidates -- the man who will be speaker now, john boehner, is a bit of a bridge back to the traditional party insider. polished, even old-fashioned.

the president's extended an invitation to come meet together. what's the first sentence you're going to say to him? >> hello, nice to see you. listen, i have no personal animosity at all towards the president. i get along well with him. and while we disagree, we try to do it in a way that's neither one of us are disagreeable. >> and then there are the raucous new members of congress from his own party. a reality show star. an iraq war veteran who rides a harley. is it going to be complicated? >> growing up with 11 brothers and sisters and working in my dad's bar, all the lessons i learned growing up are the lessons i need to do my job. when you work in a bash like i did, mopping floors and doing dishes waiting tables, tending bar. you learn to deal with every character that walks in the door. >> reporter: he talks a lot about them. the close family, 12 kids living

together in a two bedroom house outside cincinnati with their parents. >> i've seen that picture before. i'm the little brown one. my parents were -- they're the most easy-going people you've ever met. and one of the -- i think the greatest gifts they gave me was that of patience. >> reporter: he put himself through college working odd jobs and said he met his wife when he was a janitor and throwing out her trash. you were telling me that you've never had any debt? any debt of any kind in your life? >> germans, you know. we're savers, we're not spenders. i wouldn't describe myself as a penny-pincher. i don't mind spending money -- >> no mortgage? >> no, no, i -- 15 years paid it off and that was the end of that. >> reporter: and he says the hard-working, frugal roots are where he gets his passionate opposition to what he has called tax and spend. >> congress is going to come back in a lame duck session. we have to deal with two issues. spending and taxes. i believe that extending all the current tax rates for all

americans is the best policy. i don't think washington has a revenue problem. i think washington has a spending problem. >> reporter: he says he's also determined to do something to change that health care bill he fought hard to stop. this is a mandate to repeal? >> i don't know if i would call it a mandate, but i believe that obama care will ruin the best health care system in the world. and i believe it will bankrupt our country. >> how sure are you you'll get a repeal? a full-out repeal of health care? >> well, i'm pretty confident that come next year, we will have the votes to repeal that bill. >> and before we leave you, what do you want the american people to know that being speaker of the house would mean to you? >> i'm a regular guy with a big job. and i didn't come to washington because i wanted to be a congressman. i came here to do something. i want to cut spending, create jobs, repeal health care, and

fix the institution of the congress itself. the place is perfect. and i've watched both parties contribute to building up the scar tissue between the two parties. especially here in the house. and i want an opportunity to heal the house and restore the institution of the congress for the american people. >> now there's so many questions as to what nancy pelosi will be doing once she steps down. some high-level people in the democratic party tell abc news she's considering running for the position of minority leader so we may not have seen the end of her either. >> it seems like both nancy pelosi and john boehner have been the beacons for the other side to sort of lob whacks at each other, so we'll see. hopefully they can just cut it all out and get things done. >> when we return, it's time for your "skinny."
