7:03 am
welcome to cnbc" this morning." >> we have breaking news. we begin with libya. fast moving developments. the prime minister is now talking about his kidnapping in the capital of tripoli. he was not hurt. he met with his cabinet a short time ago. >> many observers think the abduction was a retaliation where u.s. forces captured a terror suspect inside libya. mark phillips good morning. >> the libyan prime minister appealed to the country to treat the abduction with wisdom and reason. the events seemed neither wise nor rational. >> there was quite a fuss when the libyan prime minister arrived at work today. for a long time there was plenty of doubt he would never get there.
7:04 am
what really happened and for what reason has been a moving feast all day. one theory is it was linked to the capture of the islamic militant by u.s. special forces in lania last weekend. u.s. secretary of state john kerry has said washington had been in touch with the libyan government, but there is no indication they were told in advance of the action. and kerry was still being cautious. >> there are no statements issued as to the who, what why and how. so we are staying in very close touch, obviously. our embassy personnel are secure. >> the group which took the prime minister away has been calling itself the libyan revolutionary operations root. they appear to be disappointed militias with overlapping
7:05 am
loyalties jockeying for control in libya ever since the revolution that overthrew gadhafi. in may, one of those groups surrounded government buildings to make a point. the point made today is that the libyan political and security structures is stable as the proverbial house of cards. the fear is abducting the prime minister is the sort of action that can bring it all tumbling down. >> stocks are soaring on the first hints of political compromise in washington. the country is in its tenth day of the partial government shutdown. the debt ceiling is only seven days away. bill is at the white house. >> good morning out west. there is nothing definite. there are signs today that the white house and congress are at least thinking about how to end the shutdown and avoid defaulting on the nation's debt. some republicans now seem willing to shift from health
7:06 am
care to a larger deficit deal. the president meets today separately with house republicans and with senate democrats later this afternoon. the white house says the meetings are a discussion, not a negotiation. house speaker john boehner returned to the original issue for many of his members in this fight. forcing the president to negotiate his health care program. >> how can we tax people for not buying a product from a website that doesn't work? this is why we need to sit down and have a conversation about the big challenges that face our country. >> the president repeated he is willing to negotiate, but only after the government is reopened and the debt limit extended. >> john boehner, in normal negotiations you say this is what i want what you want. what mr. boehner said is unless i get what i want completely then i'm not going to reopen the government. >> the longer the standoff
7:07 am
continues, the more the frustration builds. >> the president's approval rating is one point away from an all-time low. the republicans' approval rating is down its lowest ever 28%. democrats are down 43%. democrats in the house could be keith to passing any final resolution. they met with the president wednesday and they say they've already made a concession by accepting the republicans' lower government funding level. >> what they're doing now moving goal posts and changing views and taking back their commitments is a luxury our country cannot afford. >> there are now plans under discussion to raise the debt ceiling on a short-term basis. paul ryan the chair of the house budget committee is proposing to tie the length of the extension to the amount of spending reduction to which the administration will agree. charlie, norah? >> thank you.
7:08 am
the house voted on wednesday to restore debt benefits to families of troops killed in combat, but the bill's fate in the senate is unclear. for now, a private charity is stepping in to pick up the costs. >> the shutdown is leading to more trouble for those who serve millions of veterans could stop receiving veterans. nancy, good morning. >> good morning, charlie and norah. what is happening at the v.a. is a snapshot how this government shutdown is hurting the nation not just for people who work for the government but people who rely on it for assistance, as well. it only gets worse the time it goes on. u.s. veterans are due $6 billion worth of benefits in november. checks that won't go out if the government is still shutdown. secretary of veterans affairs says a third of his employees are veterans themselves facing a double whammy. >> if they are furloughed and they are also recipients of disability checks, their resources go to zero.
7:09 am
and then i have the responsibility of trying to figure out how to keep them from becoming homeless. >> coming first of november i'm screwed with a lot of other veterans out here. >> jerry lives outside san diego and is an army veteran who served during the gulf war. he is no longer able to work and says he relies on the v.a. for everything from food to medical care. >> when your day-to-day life depends on what the v.a. does and what our government does for us you know that means the world us to. people are going to lose their home. we are all going to be homeless. the grocery stores don't take ouss for groceries. >> v.a. hospitals and clinics have remained open since the shutdown but the design of 33 new facilities is on hold and v.a. funding for medical research has been reduced or halted. >> joint resolution passed. >> house republicans passed a bill last thursday to fund v.a. but senate democrats who want the whole government reopened
7:10 am
blocked it. he argued simply funding the v.a. wouldn't fix his problem because his agency relies on ten others to help veterans with health care, education, insurance and housing. >> what is best for veterans and all of us right now is a budget for the entire federal government. let us get back to work. >> even before this shutdown the v.a. was dealing with a backlog about 195,000 claims. now with so many of his workers furloughed, the v.a. secretary says that that backlog is growing by a couple thousand a week. >> nancy, thanks. among the government workers, park service employees who maintain the national mall in washington. south carolina native chris cox decided to step in. he used a lawn mower and chainsaw to spruce things up. he wants the mall to be in good shape for this weekend's million vet march. >> our veterans are coming here
7:11 am
in protest. i didn't want them to have to see trash, litter spit cups diapers, banana peels, half-eaten apples you name it. it was on the ground out here. >> cox calls himself the memorial militia. he plans to keep gardening through the shutdown. >> the choice of jenny yellen to lead the federal reserve is being met with praise along with some opposition from republicans. on monday president obama nominated yellen to replace ben bernanke. she would be the first woman to lead the central bank if confirmed by the senate. yellen says more needs to be done to strengthen the economy. >> we have met progress we have plenty to guy. the federal reserve can help if it does its job effectively. we can ensure everyone has the opportunity to work hard and build a better life.
7:12 am
>> in our next hour we'll take a closer look at yellen who is on the verge of becoming one of the most important women in the financial world if not the most important. treasury secretary jack glu is urging congress to raise the debt ceiling. he warned of irrevocable damage to the u.s. economy. he tells scott pelly the impact will be immediate and dramatic if congress doesn't act. >> what we are talking about is a default. it's the first time in 237 years the history of this country that the united states would not pay its bills. what that means is the government does not stand behind its word. the confidence and our financial system would be severely eroded.
7:13 am
this would be catastrophic. >> some republicans do not agree. on monday senator tom coburn downplayed the impact. >> i would dispel the rumor that is going around that you hear on every newscast that if we don't raise the debt ceiling we will default on our debt. we won't. we'll continue to pay our interest. we'll continue to redeem bonds and we'll issue new bonds to replace those. that is not entirely accurate. >> bill cohen is author of three best-selling books on wall street. we have a ceo saying catastrophic and senator from oklahoma saying well not. >> i think senator tom coburn makes sense as far as the republican senator was concerned. now as i guess representative reid said earlier this week, it's crazy talk. this is crazy talk. ken is right, it would be
7:14 am
catastrophic. when you incur bills and don't pay for them. that's simple. you don't get good credit. that is a disaster for this country. >> here is a column that says business groups sway over house gop. one reason business groups and markets haven't moved because they cannot believe a default will take place. if they believe it markets will collapse. will that have an impact on republicans? >> you're right. some wall street analysts have said the last few days there is zero chance of this actually happening. i don't think that is true. i put it close to 50/50 and might take a 1,000-point drop in the dow to get people's attention. i believe that actually could happen. i think it's a result of these businessmen who happen to also be republicans, wall street guys many happen to be republicans who aren't having the sway with all the money they are spending and all the influence they have. >> what about this talk about a short-term increase in our
7:15 am
borrowing limit? it seems again that the only opening we have is another short-term fix. >> why do they want to fix it on a short-term basis? so we get to go through all this again? short-term interest rates are already backing up. we are questioning the ability of the u.s. government to stand by its debts. >> what about the world reaction? i've been watching this. it's embarrassing. >> it's embarrassing for us. it shows maybe we are a banana republic which is not the image she want to give to the world. people want to invest in our country. they want, the chinese are our largest creditor because they think we are the safest creditor nation. if we put that into question we are going to hurt ourselves in the long run. >> if there is default, it will affect the economy as the recession in 2008 affected their economy. >> this will be a colossal global recession just as we are
7:16 am
getting our feet on the ground no the smart at all. >> a california chicken producer must explain how it will fix a salmonella problem. the usda is concerned about sanitary conditions. at one plant 25% of the chicken samples tested positive for salomon salomonilla. >> an undercover detective accused of taking part in the attack was in court yesterday. he is charged with assault and criminal mischief. his lawyer says video of the attack which has not been made public, shows he did not assault the driver of an suv. prosecutors call him an active participant. the president of asser bajan
7:17 am
was elected. they reported the winner before anybody voted. >> election day in an oil-rich country that was once part of the soviet union, ruled by two men for the past 20 years. no one was expecting a free and fair election yesterday. wed's news was a new high or low in electoral history. even among the most totalitarian of regimes. >> the election was decided before voters went to the polls. >> that's right. before a single ballot was cast the central election commission announced that alya had won 72.6% of the vote. his opponent just 7.4%. officials claimed it was a
7:18 am
computer glitch. that the totals were from 2008 but the totals were shown alongside pictures taken last week. so that didn't fly. 73% of the vote might seem a little over the top, but when you consider how elections like this are controlled -- >> getting anything below 90% is deemed as a weak showing. >> so why bother with an election in the first place? >> they want to use the facade of elections to legitimize their operations and their way of ruling the country. >> given the oil resources and strategic location between russia and iran, don't hold your breath for a recount. clarissa ward, london. >> officials are apologizing for their mistake. the incumbent president got 85% of the vote. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. "miami herald" says the obama administration is reviewing the
7:19 am
cases of dozens of prisoners at guantanamo bay. up to 71 men will be considered for release. it's part of the effort to close the prison. yesterday a special envoy was named to oversee the move to overseas. researchers found the compound that stop the death of brain cells in mice. that is raising hopes of a development of a drug to prevent alzheimer's. "wall street journal" says mobile advertising is soaring. they spent $3 million on ads for smart phones and good morning, everyone. roberta gonzales outside o. o coliseum where game time today it will be 68 degrees. area of low pressure now pushing out of the bay area, high pressure builds in. we're talking about a good- looking autumn day with sunny skies and temperatures slightly below average.

7:31 am
and hernandez's defense team. legal analyst ricky is here. neighbors say ed of using fake poker chips at a casino. jan has more this morning. >> they were tipped off by iowa state police. no criminal charges have been fired yet against the admiral but he already has been stripped of his three-star rank. admiral timothy giardino's been
7:32 am
spotted using fake poker chips. he had been the second highest ranging officer at the u.s. strategic command, overseeing the military's nuclear forces missile defense, and cyber warfare operations. general richard myers, once the top military commander says senior commanders must be held to a higher standard. he've never heard of one relieved of duty because of gambling. >> when people do background checks on you they ask do you have a sex habit, drinking habit, drug habit. all of those could lead to a situation of blackmail. >> casino owners noticed the fake chips in june and contacted the iowa police. once they discovered his identity, state investigators alerted the navy which in july opened its own investigation. two months later he was suspend bud allowed to remain on base.
7:33 am
now that he's been released to kmond kmand he'll be reverted to the rank of rear admiral and returned to washington. >> he doesn't have do something that's illegal but lose the confidence of those above him. is this the kind of person we want on the phone with a national command authorities when there's a real crisis under way. >> now, giardina has not been arrested. the huge concern in cases like this, of course, is whether officers may have disclosed any sensitive information or somehow been put in a situation where they may have compromised national security. there's no indication of that here at this point, charlie and norah, but that investigation is still ongoing. >> all right jan. thank you. former nfl star aaron hernandez returned to court on wednesday. he was indicted in august on murder and weapons charges. last month he plead not guilty. he answered questions from the judge. >> could you please state your name. >> aaron hernandez. >> and your age. >> 23.
7:34 am
>> and how far did grow in school? >> three years of college. >> and what is haas been your employment. >> i played football nfl. >> cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman has been watching. what have we learned from this? >> think we learned a lot. first of all think it was very well orchestrated by his attorneys. they dressed him in a way that now for the first time since his arrest we have video that makes him look like a respectable young man. we learn thad he can be soft-spoken, answer questions intelligently, that he looks thoughtful. i think that the defense did a great job of humanizing him because before we've seen him look like a thug all padded up and in a t-shirt. >> what is hernandez facing? >> of course, he is facing this murder charge and this murder charge may be one that is easy to prove. mate be one that's hard to prove
7:35 am
depending if they find the gun and the cooperating witnesses. also have gun charges here. we have a number of firearms charges including possession of high-capacity magazines, weapons, and those stack up against him because even if he should be acquitted of the murder, he needs necessarily going to be acquit of the gun charges. >> and what about the prosecution asking the judge to take herself off the court -- off the case? >> i found that motion absolutely stunning. we know that defense lawyers go to court a lot and they ask judges to recuse themselves for a whole variety of reasons. in my day of trying cases and in covering cases, i have never seen a prosecutor make this motion. i think it is not a good idea despite any bad blood that they have had in the past because other people -- and i think really good sources of information about this judge, susan garsh in boston -- say she
7:36 am
is very fair. now it makes the whole office look suspect in the eyes of other judges. i was thinking about it last night and i thought about the fact that prosecutors are actually fudgeable. you have a whole office full of prosecutors. if you move to remove a judge because you have animosity or she does for heaven's sake why not recuse yourself or let another judge ask the questions. >> we're going have a hearing on october 21st. i

to treat veterans' pain a practice that in their view that could be costing veterans their lives. in the weeks after our investigation aired, we received photos like this one, the daily dosage of pain pills prescribed to a 38-year-old v.a. patient in texas. and this one from a 54-year-old v.a. patient in oklahoma. these were the medications prescribed to ricky green. a veteran of first gulf war for his back pain. among them three narcotics. his wife kim ber by describes a visit her husband made to va hospitals in november of 2011. >> he wanted to be taken off this large amounts of medicines. >> what did his doctors and health care providers say to him? >> basically that he needed to continue to take the medication.
7:38 am
>> all of them? >> all of them. >> when he came home did he continue to take all the medication? >> he followed the doctor's orders. >> the next month green died in his slim accidently overdosing on a narcotic and muscle relaxer prescribed va medical centers in arkansas. >> when he died, it completely shattered our own world. he was only 43 years old. we had a future together. and this shouldn't have happened. >> later this morning a veterans affairs subcommittee will hold a hearing examining va's practice of prescribing medications. congressman jeff miller is a chair of the house committee on veterans affairs. >> unfortunately it has become a routine way of dealing with our veterans is to give them a prescription. they walk out the door with their medications.
7:39 am
and masking the pain only temporarily takes it away that it's not treating the underlying cause. >> no. and it's the underlying cause that absolutely has to be treated. >> kimberly green is one of two widows expected to testify this morn ag long with two v.a. doctors and two veterans themselves all who make the case the v.a. is overprescribing pills to treat pain. charlie, norah? >> tim,jim, thank you. and there is a turf war in tinseltown. why people are fighting to keep you from getting a close-up of the biggest name in hollywood. the city caught in the middle. >> you have to expect one thing. the public. >> see how far neighbors are going ahead on "cbs this morning."

"fortune" magazine reveals this year's list. and we have grammy winner alicia keys. she's now producing movies. talked with us about changing her work her life and her hair. but first, here's a look at today's eye opener @ 8. >> the libyan structure is as stable as the proverbial house of cards. >> libya's prime minister is talking about his overnight kidnapping in the city of tripoli. he was not hurt. >> many think the abduction was

8:02 am
this morning's eye opener opener @ 8 is presented by benefiber. i'm charlie rose along with gayle king and norah o'donnell. officials are trying to learn more about the kidnapping of libya's prime minister. gunmen kidnapped ali zeidan. several hours later he was set free. he appeared on television a short time ago. >> there is speculation this morning that zeidan was taken because he knew too much about the u.s. raid that captured a libyan terror suspect. mark phillips is in london with that part of the story. >> good morning, gayle, charlie. whether it was an arrest abduction or kidnapping it is apparently over. libyan prime minister ali zeidan returned to the cabinet office now greeted by a crowd of supporters and members of his cabinet. he'd had an eventful day. earlier he looked like this being led away from the hotel where he lived by members of one of the militias that operate in tripoli. a group calling itself the
8:03 am
libyan revolutionary operations room says it carried out the detention, but why? a dominant theory is that he's accused of having facilitated the u.s. raid in tripoli over the weekend that captured anaz al libbyi. it is part of the ongoing power struggle where various militias have been competing for control and it seems they still are. norah, charlie, gayle? in the effort to end the political paralysis in washington may be gaining some momentum this morning. house republicans will meet with president obama for the first time since the government shutdown began ten days ago. >> meanwhile, treasury secretary jack lew is on capitol hill this morning. he's warning the senate finance committee about the looming deadline for the debt limit. lew says leaving an increase to the last minute could be very dangerous. bill plante is at the white
8:04 am
house. good morning. >> reporter: charlie, good morning. the president meets separately today with senate democrats and with the house republican leadership. there are signs that the conversation is shifting from repealing or delaying the health care law to how to avoid a default on the nation's debt. now, the white house says that today's meetings are a discussion, not a negotiation. but it is clear that there's some incentive on both sides to find a solution before next week when treasury secretary jack lew says he'll be unable to meet all of the country's obligations. the president says that he's open to raising the nation's borrowing limit on a short-term basis. house budget committee chairman paul ryan has a proposal to tie the length of the extension to the amount of spending that's reduced. so we may be seeing the first tentative steps. charlie, norah, gayle? >> all right, a lot of people hope that's the case. thank you, bill. senate majority leader harry reid has testy words after being
