snoovment putting politics aside. >> for a few moments unity on capitol hill erupting in applause for the return of gabrielle giffords but the good will didn't last too long. the discovery a community feared. an 11-year-old body found in a river, crushing news even to veteran law enforcement. now the search for answers. on top of that jackpot, huge paydays for showbiz superstars. a new name tops the list of highest paid hollywood actors. good morning, everyone. i'm rob nelson. >> and i'm tanya rivero. one vote down, one to go. the house has passed a plan to avoid economic disaster. now it's up to the senate. >> that vote down to the wire as you can see just hours now until the government begins running out of money, but all of that

put into perspective by the bombshell moment when gabby giffords walked in to cast her vote. >> an emotioiol time on capitol hill and it's not done yet. scott goldberg is live with all the latest. good morning, scott. >> reporter: good morning, rob and tanya. we expect them to vote on the debt deal sometime after noon less than 12 hours before the default deadline this after the house passed the deal with the yes vote fromomeone who almost nobody expected to be there. with two minutes left on the house clock and the debt deal still hanging in the balance, members of every political faction stopped fighting for a moment. they were stunned to see arizona congresswoman gabrielle giffords walk into the house chamber for the first time since she was shot in the head in january. >> there isn't a name that stirs more love, more admiration, more respect. >> reporter: giffords, a democrat, voted yes then the rest of the yes votes rolled in.

>> even the hardest hearts which we had a lot of heardrded hearts in this debate just melted when she walked in the room. >> reporter: the house passed the deal to raise the debt ceiling and d t spending by a margin of 269-161. the support was bipartisan, so was the head shaking over how they got here. >> this has been a long and messy prohny as with any compromise the outcome is far from satisfying. >> reporter: leaders of both parties in the house spoke to diane sawyer. >> so what are you going to be doing tomorrow morning? >> hopefully hiding somewhere. >> as congressman cleaver said this is a satan sandwich. >> it probably is with some satan fries on the side. >> reporter: now the deal no one likes moves to the senate and lawmakers are ready to move on. >> i have constituents i'm anxious to see, friends i teed to visit with. >> reporter: but there is one person who doesn't care how ugly the whole process has been, gabby giffords tweeted last night the capitol looks

beautiful and i am honored to be at work. rob and tanya. >> scott, does this mean that gabby could be returning to congress full time? >> reporter: no, she's going to stick around washington for a few days. there while her husband celebrates the last flight of the space shuttle "endeavour" then back to houston and back to rehab. as for her re-election we don't know yet. she hasn't made a decision yet. she doesn't have to until next may. >> and nonetheless an extraordinary moment. we'll have a lot more about gabby giffords coming up. investors an the world have been keeping a nervous eye on the debt talks as the u.s. remains the world's biggest economy despite the deal, markets in asia were sharply lower this morning and russian prime minister vladimir putin has some harsh words calling the united states a parasite because of its huge debt load and questioned whether the dollar should be the world's main currency. >> well, the new poll indicates just how fed up voters are about the partisan rancor in washington. "the washington post" asked voters for a single word

characterization about the budget negotiations and the top three words in that poll, ridiculous, disgusting and stupid. nearly 75% offered a negative word and just 2% actually said something positive. and the next issue stoking voter anger out there is a congressional stalemate over the faa. a bipartisan senate plan to end its current partial shutdown fell apart last night. some house republicans had issues with certain provisions congress could leave on its august recess before resolving the shutdown which would cost the government billions of dollars. in new hampshire, the outcome no one wanted in the disappearance of 11-year-old celina cass. the girl's body was pulled from a river near her family's home yesterday. an autopsy will be done today to try and determine the reason for her death. meanwhile, investigators plan to interview everyone in town and focus on vehicles in the area. cass disappeared virtually without a trace last monday night. the world may get a glimpse

of casey anthony for the first time since she was acquitted and released for the murder of her 2-year-old daughter. a florida judge wants her to serve a year of probation in orlando on a check fraud conviction. he says the probation was not supposed to take place while anthony awaited trial. but after. anthony's attorneys are trying to fight it. many more than a dozen states are still roasting under blistering heat from iowa to texas and over to florida. >> there is no relief in sight for the southern plains. tulsa, oklahoma, hit a record 110 degrees yesterday and dallas heats up to 108 today. that will make 32 straight days of triple-digit temperatures. just ten days short of tying the city's all-l-me record. >> 32 straight days of 100 degrees. man. >> what a nasty month. >> those folks in dallas are resilient. the weather around the country, stormy with large hail and flash flooding from des moines and chicago to detroit and cleveland and pittsburgh. showers and thunderstorms in northern new england and scattered storms along the gulf

coast into houston to miami. drenching rain in the desert southwest. >> phoenix climbs to a sizzling 109. sacramento, 90 and salt lake city, 87. it's 97 in kansas city, 87 in detroit and 91 in minneapolis. boston gets up to 85. mostly 90s from new york all the way down to new orleans. >> and one more weather note this morning, florida is now bracing for its first hurricane of the season. tropical storm emily is expected to strengthen before making landfall this weekend north of ft. lauderdale. emily is now managing 40-mile-an-hour winds in the eastern caribbean. it will also dump heavy rain on puerto rico, the dominican republic and the bahamas. and coming up, some box office bonanza. we have the new list of highest paid actors. can you guess who is number one? >> the answer surprised you. >> yes, it did. on top of that, the newly released files of senator kennedy. showing who wanted to kill him. an i iredibly rare sight, a close encounter with the largest

animal on earth.

well, believe it or not the markets are notthowing the soror of enthusiastic reaction you'd expect after the house passed the nation's debt deal. tokyo's nikkei average lost 120 points today. hong kong's hang seng is also down in late trading and in london the ftse opened lower too. the dow lost 10 points yesterday. the nasdaq index lost 11. the big reason for the

market drop has to do with the yield from treasury securities. the yield dropped yesterday to its lowest point since february. treasury yields dictate numerous interest rates affecting mortgages, consumer loans and even bank accounts. ford is recalling 1.1 beneath the truck could make the gas tanks fall off and catch fire. the problem is being blamed for eight fires and one injury. the recall affects various f-150, f-250 and lincoln blackwood pickups, the f-150 is traditionally the best-selling but it has affected millions. no word on where a salmonella outbreak may have started. it killed one person and made at least 76 sick in 26 states since march. federal officials say the usual antibiotics have not been effective against this strain. no recall is under way. apple's icloud is getting mixed reviews this morning. the icloud which allows access to all sorts of apps and

programs went live for the first time monday but access was reportedly limited to mobile me users on certain apple devices. there is tech machine saying some features did not work and some users got stuck. all right. who is hollywood's highest paid actor? "forbes" just released the list. it might surprise you. adam sandler made the third most in hollywood at $40 million, not too shabby, johnny depp who was number one in 2009 came in second with $50 million and the winner, leonardo dicaprio, made 77 million thanks to "inception "and "shutter island." >> we are in the wrong business. 77 million. >> we're all a little envious. >> just a little. when we come back this morning, america's top party schools. >> the mystery from the deep, a body found after decades beneath one of the nation's deepest lakes. we also have more on our top story this morning, that remarkable return to congress by gabby giffords. i kept feeling this radiating ache everywhere.

the pain was so frustrating. i found out that connected to our muscles are nerves that send messages through the body. my doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia -- thought to be the result of overactive nerves that cause chronic, widespread pain. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i learned lyryra can provide significant relief from fibromyalgia pain. and less pain means i can feel better and do more of what i love.

debbie wasserman schultz, found out only the night before. >> reporter: shortly after her appearance, giffords tweeted "the capitol looks beautiful, and i'm honored to be at work." terry moran has more on the remarkable return. [ applause ] >> reporter: on the floor of the house of representatives, which for weeks has been a well of bitterness and rancor, there she was, a tiny woman, her close cropped hair a badge of her recovery from being shot in the head at point blank range. gabby giffords came back to congress to vote, and her colleagues united for once rose to cheer her. afterwards minority leader nancy pelosi hailed her courage. >> throughout america there isn't a name that stirs more love, more admiration, more respect, more wishing for our daughters to be like her than the name of congresswoman gabby giffords. thank you, gabby.

[ applause ] >> even the hardest hearts, which we had a lot of hardened hearts in this debate, just melted when she walked in the room. >> reporter: for gabby giffords, the road to recovery has been long and arduous. her husband, space shuttle astronaut mark kelly, was by her side every day as doctors marveled at her strength and the extentntf her recovery -- >> and liftoff. >> reporter: gabby giffords left the hospital to watch her husband blast off into space on his last shuttle mission. >> she would say that, you know, it's time to turn something she would want for something d. positive to come out of it. >> reporter: as she came back to the house in an hour of national need, we may be learning what it is gabby giffords wants to do. terry moran, abc news, washington. >> and giffords is expected to visit the white house today with her husband, a her husband, and we'll hear more from debbie wasserman schultz coming up just a little while
