>> welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning to you, charlie. >> as you wake matchup the west congress is closer than ever to ending the budget standoff. more talks are under way this morning. the 15th day of the partial government shutdown and two days before a deadline to increase the debt limit. senate leaders say they are close to a compromise. >> but house republicans met in the last hour and they plan to vote today on a bill of their own. it is similar to the senate plan but with a couple of modifications to obama care including a two-year delay of a tax on medical devices. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. all the house republicans are discussing that deal in a meeting that is wrapping up right now. the plan would reopen the government right away and raise the debt ceiling for about four months. it was crafted by senate leaders who took charge after talks between the white house and house republicans fell apart. gridlock finally gave way monday as the senate's democratic

leader and his republican counterpart rushed to reach a deal. >> we've made tremendous progress. we are not there yet, but tremendous progress. >> reporter: the plan they're discussing would fund the government through mid-january and raise the debt ceiling until mid-february. a new committee of bipartisan negotiators would look for ways to cut the deficit between now and mid-december and a new anti-fraud provision would be added to the president's health care law to verify the incomes of those who apply for insurance subsidies. the framework seemed to satisfy senate democrats. >> it's extremely partisan. >> and senate republicans. >> finally talking about the right thing. >> reporter: house republicans could be harder to win over. they wanted major changes to obama care and had proposed a very different plan with a shorter increase in the debt ceiling to the president. >> dropped us like a hot potato because our deal he didn't want to deal with. >> reporter: still they may not have any other options if they want to raise the debt ceiling

before the deadline. virginia republican frank wolf. >> it is time to show some humility. it is time to govern. let's get the government back open ensure we don't default on our debt and then commit ourselves to curbing unsustainable spending. >> reporter: some house republicans tell us they're waiting to see the final plan before they make um their minds. others are already talking about amending the plan, though there isn't much time for that before thursday's dooemg deadline spop the real question now is will speaker boehner feel comfortable putting this plan up for a vote knowing that he'll have to get some votes from democrats. charlie and norah? >> all right nancy. thank you. there's just part of the deal. the other part, president obama, his meeting with congressional leaders is on hold this morning to give them time to work out a final plan. major garrett is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah and charlie and our viewers out west. if this deal holds, president

obama will take it and claim victory because it reopens the government and lists the threat of default at least for a few months and largely on president obama's terms. as he has been for the last three days, president obama will remain on the sidelines. the white house is deferring all the final negotiating details to the senate majority leader harry reid of nevada. this deal passes the senate and the house, it will buy washington some time but not much. more budget talks are coming and the question is whether the seemingly endless cycle of budget crises after budget crises can be broken. leon panetta, the president's former defense secretary, said monday congressional republicans are a problem in all this but laid half the blame at president obama's debt saying he refuses to seriously negotiate new approaches to spending taxes, or entitlement programs like medicare. this fragile deal may survive and even if it does another budget stand wauf congress and all the economic uncertainty it brings is just a few months away. and even if mr. obama won more than he lost in this round, even

a former cabinet secretary says he needs to develop new leadership skills to break this cycle of budget crisis in washington. norah and charlie? >> major, thank you. the compromise first took shape over the weekend at a meeting of senate democrats and republicans. amy klobucar was one of the democrats in that meeting. senator, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. it's great to be on. >> thank you very much. we note first of all that many people are saying senate women lead an effort to find accord. >> are you surprised? >> no, i'm not. as i said earlier. >> senator susan collins played a major role in bringing this group together six democrats, six republicans, half women. and i think we played a constructive role in terms of setting up a framework and some ideas and bringing those to leadership on both sides. and i don't think it's also a surprise that the senate is able to work out agreements and find some common ground. we've been doing it with farm bill, the immigration bill and we're very hope 2012 house will follow suit. >> but the question is did the

democrats and the president get most of what they wanted so that you will not be able to sell it to john boehner who will be able to sell it to his caucus? >> when you think of it this is an agreement that doesn't contain really anything except keeping the government open giving a short time frame, which was important to both democrats and republicans because we really want to have an incentive to negotiate a larger budget deal as major was talking about so that we don't lurch from financial crisis to financial crisis, and making sure we're paying our bills for the next few months while we're making these negotiations. i think in that way everyone knows that the job isn't done yet, that the real job is ahead of us. >> let me press you on that because already house republicans have said this is the senate surrender caucus. what have you give top help get these house republicans on board? >> well i think first of all,

the deal -- i'm not going to negotiate it right here. the outlines aren't there. but i think what has happened here is that we made very clear we're keeping the budget control act in place but giving an opportunity to negotiate a longer-term budget. we have a senate passed budget and a house passed budget. they've always said they want to work it out in regular order. we can do that. and figure out a way to really get some smarter cuts in place rather than just the hammer of sequestration. there are cuts that's true but there's also some other things that we can do reform revenues, to really put this country in a better place to compete globally. >> what happens concessions on obama care? anything for the republicans? >> well again, the details on this aren't out yet, but i think that you've seen changes to the affordable care act over time. the 1099 provisions for small businesses were changed. i'd like to see major change with the medical device tax, get that repealed. there are things that we can do but i think the president's point was that it's not the time

to do it when the government's shut down. >> let me ask you a final question about the obama care website where people can sign up. $400 million was spent on this site, and as you know it is plagued with problems. there are some people who suggest people should be fired. what's your take? >> well my take is first looking at my state where we haven't had quite those problems we've had over 10,000 people get accounts over 300 small businesses and there are clearly some issues. and everyone has said that. i think the most important thing for the american people is the rates are pretty good. there are some great bargains there that you aren't able to get if you're a small business or an individual on the regular market, and i think in the end once those glitches are fixed, what really matters is what's the product, what you can buy, what's the competition. that's what matters in the american marketplace. >> all right. senator amy klobucar good to see you. thank you so much. >> good to see you. >> and accused al qaeda terrorist abu anas al libi will face a judge in new york this

morning. he's accused of taking part in the 1998 u.s. embassy bombings in africa. a special forces unit captured him in libya ten days ago. al libi was interrogated aboard a u.s. navy ship in the mediterranean. john miller is former deputy director of national intelligence. good morning. >> good morning. >> you have some new reporting this morning. what do we know about al libi? he was captured in libya, been on this boat. what have we learned? >> captured by the delta force, taken to the san antonio. >> the "uss san antonio" is the name of the boat. >> right. not as much as they would want to. this was cut short because he's got hepatitis and had to be moved more quickly into part of what the high value detainee interrogation booth does is over a period of time they'll develop a relationship they may trick a suspect into admitting things that they already think they know. this is something that can take weeks. in this case, it was a matter of days. his information about al qaeda

in libya might have had some value. his information about al qaeda central command is probably fairly dated by now. >> other than the fact this guy might have been responsible for something and they very much wanted to get him, do they believe he has anything he can give them with respect to what's happening today? >> i think that's an exercise they have to go through, and i don't think they have enough time, charlie, to know that now because usually that's something you learn at the end of that process. most of these guys always hold back what they think is important. so that's an open question. where they're going with this case is actually very interesting, because you say well, the embassy bombings which killed 225 people including a dozen americans back in 1998 you know, that's an old case, bringing him to trial for that finding witnesses. but they have a smoking gun witness, an individual named ali mohammed. not much is ever discussed about ali mohammed, but he's story in himself, a former captain in the egyptian army part of the unit that assassinated anwar sadat,

came to the united states managed miraculously to join the u.s. army, got the rank of sergeant, was assigned to jfk's special warfare school at ft. bragg. he taught u.s. special forces, the same people ho who captured al libi arabic language skill, islamic culture courses. all that time he was a double agent for al qaeda. the thing that makes him critical in this case is back in 1993 through 1997 al libi was part of the planning process with ali mohammed to blow up those embassies. there's a direct witness who can sit there and say i talked to him, we did the surveillance we planned these bombings. >> i assume they like the idea that the united states is saying we will track you down no matter how long it's been. >> and they have done that in this case. they have literally gone to the four corners of the globe to find people from east africa south africa libya, egypt, you name it. they've been there. >> thanks john. two days of nuclear talks between iran the united states and five other world powers

begin this morning in geneva. these are the first negotiations since iran elected a new president in june. hassan rouhani is taking a more moderate tone than his predecessor. not everyone is convinced by his approach. >> what has the brought this to pass, what has got rouhani to the negotiating table are the existing sanctions, and we've got to have the leverage to increase that to make certain that they understand we're serious about having them in their nuclear weapons program. >> elizabeth palmer is in geneva where the talks are taking place. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. the negotiators arrived on time this morning. the iranian team is being led by iran's own foreign minister and the u.s. team by a senior state department diplomat wendy sherman. we hear after the meeting convened the iranian stood up with a power point presentation that laid out their compromises

on their nuclear program. shortly afterwards, the meeting broke up so all parties will be studying that very carefully. you mentioned that rouhani has changed iran's tune really. that's unmistakable. not only was with that landmark phone call with president obama but also he's been pushing back at the hawks at home. he's told the revolutionary guard core the very anti-western military force, to back off, to stay out of politics. he's been backed in that by iran's supreme leader. so this is an administration that wants to deal. however, it comes down to how badly do they want those sanctions lifted and what are they willing to give. we should know sometime in the next 48 hours. charlie and norah? >> thanks, elizabeth. a powerful earthquake rocked the philippines this morning. at least 93 people are dead more than 100 aftershocks are now recorded. but no tsunami was generated. seth doane is covering the

destruction. >> reporter: the deadly 7.2 magnitude quake rocked the central philippines early this morning. it sent shock waves through the region that brought down buildings, cracked roads, and left millions of people scrambling to safety. officials say the earthquake struck about 20 miles deep on a popular tourist destination with a population in excess of 1 million people. but the majority of the deaths occurred in nearby cebu province, an island inhabited by more than 2.6 million people. many schools and businesses were closed for a muslim holiday when the quake hit. soldiers were called in to respond to the tragedy. and despite how frequently earthquake os cur in this part of the pacific known as the ring of fire the outcomes remain unpredictable. a weaker magnitude 6.9 trembler in the philippines just last year killed nearly 100 people.

last night, another passionate debate. the investigation continues after a 6-year-old boy drown while swimming in a pool on board a carnival cruise ship. it happened just a few feet away from his family and othernorah. carnival said this is the first time a child has browned aboard one of its ships. passengers came to help but it came too late. sunday afternoon, 6-year-old quinton hunter was swimming with his family on one of the ships. the family was enjoying the final leg of a four-day caribbean cruise. >> out of nowhere, i heard all of this motion i realized it was the same little boy that i had seen playing with his older brother and his mother and his father. in the very shallow end of the pool. >> reporter: like most cruise line carnival does not provide life guards on its ships.

passengers rushed in to try to rescue hunter. >> i actually helped grab his body in the proper position so they could perform cpr. everyone was crying. the family was distraught. they had to pull the mother and appear away pleading and begs his son to stay alive. >> reporter: the boy did not survive. carnival told "cbs this morning" as with many land-baseded hotels and resorts with swimming pools, cruise ships provide conspicuous signage to alert passengers that a life guard is not on duty. parental supervision is required for children under 13. specializing in maritime law, she used to represent cruise ships but brings lawsuits against them. >> is it reasonable to put a life guard around pools? yes, it is reasonable. and the cruise lines are not

taking the necessary steps. >> reporter: she said passengers are easily distracted on pool decks and warning signs are not enough. >> they have attendants walking around selling drinks. they can have someone up by the slide when passengers go down. why can't they just have someone next to the pool? >> reporter: on monday after the ship docked at port miami some passengers were still shaken by what they saw. >> the poor family has to go on heartfelt sympathies to the family and its care team is providing assistance and support. charlie, norah. >> anna thank you. there is new evidence that sit for hours can be as healthy as smoking. the american heart association says that means changes for doctors as well. dr. david agus is with "cbs this

country with so many guns in circulation with a family exercising their first amendment right to defend their families with a handgun at home. nobody can tell me that any civilian in america needs a military-style assault weapon or a magazine which has 30 to 100 bullets as we saw in aurora or sandy hook. and the idea that you can't even in congress pass background checks. you can't even get through a law that 90% of the american people support, which would mean you that can determine somebody buying a gun with a criminal or mentally insane. this is the stuff -- >> pretty much -- how are you different from the way mayor bloomberg is and where president obama is? >> well mayor bloomberg to me is the single most courageous person in america. >> president obama? >> i think president obama has done his best but he's achieved nothing. he went to sandy hook very publicly and he promised those families he would give action. to date, he has delivered absolutely nothing.

bill clinton told me an interesting thing, he said the nra martials itself so well. they will go after any politician. any stage, any level, and they drive them out of power with well-funded resources which come from the gun manufacturers. and he said until the american people, many of whom express outrage of these atrocities. until they go to the ballot box and vote and say we're going to vote against people that assault no assault weapons ban and he's right. >> with cnn, you've been there almost three years, will you stay? >> larry king did 25 years. my god, i've got admiration for that man. the only man with more stamina is the great charlie rose. i will be taken from cnn kicking and screaming. i absolutely love it. i think it's a fantastic network. it's a great news place top. i wrote the book not about guns it's my diary of three years there. the good the bad, the ugly the tragic.

it's been a wonderful ride. >> i think we got to go we're out of time. >> are we really? >> yeah. first, great to we are looking at a great day ahead. plenty of sunshine. high pressure and off shore winds blowing outside. looking good even into the afternoon along the coastline. how about that? the ridge going to keep clear skies out at the beaches today. some of those temperatures moving up into the 70s. a lot of 70s inside the bay. 80s in the valleys. next couple days warming things up and cool things down. cooler temperatures over the weekend. welcome howard taft is the only american to be president and chief justice. but he's better known today as the fattest president we ever had. we'll look at taft's important role and the history of dieting. that's right new letter from the former president. that's ahead on "cbs this

>> but house republicans plan to vote today on a bill on their own. >> the real job is ahead of us. >> senator let me press you on that. what have you given to get the house republicans on board? >> the question is whether this ends the budget crises after crises. >> carnival says this is the first time a child has drown aboard one of its ships. >> it's reasonable to put a lifeguard around the pools. the cruise lines are not taking the reasonable steps. >> for the second time in 24 hours a dry ice bomb went off at one of the terminals. >> nobody can tell me any civilian in america needs a military-style assault weapon or a magazine which has 30 to 100 bullets as we saw at aurora or sandy hook. >> we were engineered to make our body work yet engineered our society the opposite. >> we noted many people are saying senate women lead to find

now chinese are speaking out about the budget standoff in washington. the government news agency said on sunday that other country should quote, start considering build ag deamericanized world. that suggests the dollar should no longer be the number one international currency. mellody hobson, cbs contributor and analyst joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. >> the question s one, do chinese have a likelihood of being able to achieve this over the next several years. secondly, what would it mean for us if they did? >> i don't think it's unlikely. the rhetoric makes sense right now. they're pouncing while the u.s. looks weak on the global stage. they've been very clear about the fact that they don't like the americanization of the economic system around the globe. they'd like to see the internationalization of that system. i spent last week in china. it was interesting. someone told me it would be the century of the pacific, the 20th century was the century of the

atlantic. they see the sun continuing to rise in the east and continuing to set in the west but i think, you know right now what they're asking for would be extraordinarily hard to accomplish. so i don't see any consequences for us at this moment. longer term different issue. >> what would happen if the u.s. dollar is not the main reserve currency? what would that mean? >> first of all, i can't see what would replace it. no currency has the scale or the ease of trading as the u.s. dollar. there's nothing out there. so they've talked about a basket of currencies that the u.s. dollar would be one of many the japanese yen, their own chinese yuan. the british pound sterling in there. when you think about it that would be hard to accomplish. it's been somewhat battered post the financial crisis. they say why not china's currency itself? they're not exactly the bastions

of transparency when it comes to finance. remember, their currency doesn't float with the rest of the currency. there's not a lot of options out there. >> mellody let me ask you about the front page story on the "wall street journal." investors sell billions in treasuries. isn't this is a consequence of the budget showdown in washington? >> this is definitely a bad sign. the reason i say that in the worst of the financial crisis the darkest days u.s. treasuries were actually rallying because people were saying the safe place to go is the united states. in this environment right now to see people sell the treasuries really does show we are playing russian roulette. our government has to understand we've got to fix this. at some point we're going to shoot the gun and the bullet is going to kill us. we've got to stop this rhetoric. >> mellody hobson, good to see you. thank you so much. the supreme court hears arguments today in an

affirmative action case cham challenge ag michigan law that says race cannot be a factor in college admissions. the results could be felt nationwide. jan crawford is at the supreme court. what would it mean? >> reporter: voters in states like california, for example, passed these bachbs on affirmative action after the supreme court refused to outlaw all racial preferences. what this means is if the supreme court today says michigan and these other state laws are okay that could encourage similar efforts nationwide. in the battle over affirmative action michigan is front and center. after the supreme court refused in 2003 to end affirmative action programs at the university of michigan law school voters approved proposition 2, amending the state constitution to prohibit admissions programs that give preferential treatment to or discriminate against people based on their race.

michigan attorney general bill schuette said voters wanted to take race out of decision making. >> it's an expression that in michigan we think it's wrong, fundamentally wrong to treat people differently based on their race or color of their skin. >> reporter: michigan is not alone. five other states have similar bans outlawing the use of racial preferences. but supporters of affirmative action say proposal 2 amounts to racial discrimination by rigging the political process against minorities. the federal appeals court agreed and struck down proposal 2 saying it made it too hard for minorities to change policies that affect them. >> what prop 2 has done is allowed the majority to take away the policy that the university has for hearing everybody's voice. so essentially the will of the majority has silenced the minority. >> reporter: rosie and her husband matthew are professors at the university of michigan. they say the ban has cut minority enrollment by a third

and had a negative effect in the classroom. >> as a group they feel less a part of things, less able to in the give and take of the institution. >> reporter: opponents say the way to increase minority enrollment is improve educational opportunities for students before they get to college. supporters say look that doesn't work. if the court upholds this michigan ban, they say it's certain that other states across the country will pass similar laws charlie, norah, gayle. boston red sox fans have a new poster boy this morning. a police officer became an internet sensation after david ortiz hit a grand slam against the detroit tigers in game two of the alcs. >> hard hit into right. back at the wall! tie game! >> that's detroit's outfielder torii hunter that went head over feet. officer horgan spoke by phone

ideas for the future. david pogue travels the world to find the next generation of inventions. his new program is called "making stuff." >> what happens when engineers use mother nature's toolbox? revolutionary robots. fabrics made of fish slime. this is like three times the volume of fish. it's a world of surprising possibilities. we take inspireation of how things are designed. the bold new shape of things to come. >> making stuff faster wilder colder safer premieres tomorrow on pbs. david, welcome. >> each episode is making stuff fast. yeah. >> self-driving that's your favorite new innovation? >> i have to say it is. google as we know is working on self-driving cars. some people say i don't want to share my road with those computers. i say, i don't want to share my road with you.

85% of car accidents are human-controlled. and a self-driving racing car that goes 120 miles an hour, and i had to sit in the passenger seat. you know what it didn't crash. >> so cool. i looked at the "making stuff faster" episode. boarding airplanes. how do you make boarding airplanes faster. turns out we've been doing it wrong? >> excuse me it almost said you watched the whole show to prepare for this interview. >> i did. >> you are a professional man. yeah, we board an airplane that takes forever. so this mathematician, actually physicist takes a step and studies how we get on an airplane. turns out the way we're doing it now, mathematically speaking is the slowest way from the back where everybody has to climb over the aisle seat guy. everyone puts up their luggage and stops the whole process. >> you're a paleontologist, too. you put the two together. >> yeah the guy is a

paleontologist. we pit -- an actual airplane 150 people we pitted these two boarding methods in a race. i think it's never been done before. the answer is -- what am i saying? i'm not going to tell you the answer, you've got to watch the show. >> let's talk about some of these, the oracle sailboat. we covered that story here. what did you learn from being on board it? >> that was amazing. because of -- there was an accident, as you know one of the other teams had a death among the sailors just a month before we were there. so i think they've now pretty much stopped letting journalists on board. i was one of the last. the whole thing is made of carbon fiber. at 20 miles an hour it lifts out of the water on a single air rail under the water about six feet long. looks like an airplane wing. let me tell you at that moment when it lifts it's like magic carpet times 20. >> wow. >> we're glad they won. we filmed this april or may, had

they not won the race our show would have looked dumb tomorrow night. >> exactly. >> were you just a curious, >> well, thank you so much. you know, i'm not a scientist, which makes me weird choice as a science host. >> uh-huh. >> but they wanted somebody to represent the viewer somebody who would be curious. >> what is that robot we're showing? what have we learned from horses and animals in terms of robotics? . >> yeah that's from making stuff wilder. where technology is stolen from nature's ideas. here, this is a robot developed for the military to carry our soldiers' gear. it'll carry 400 pounds. see how it's following me? >> mm-hmm. >> terrifying as heck. but really amazing. instead of making our soldiers carry 100 pounds on their back for 20 miles to the battlefield, this alpha dog made by boston dynamics goes after you. >> great to see you. >> great to see you.

>> and peter greenberg is coming up next. he takes us to the house where a guest feels more like a passenger. we'll explain on "cbs this morning."

♪ an experiment in recycling turned into an unusual house in southern california. it's giving a new twist to the concept of the mobile home. the owner hopes the idea taking flight with others. our travel editor peter greenberg goes inside and on board. >> reporter: from the guest wing to the main part? >> to the main wing. >> reporter: many holes in the

hills in malibu have wings. but these wings actually used to fly. >> it was built for a pan-am so they bought the first 50 out of production from boeing. >> reporter: it was one of the original 747s. >> indeed. peter, i want to take you out on the roof of the wing. >> reporter: the roof of this house was made entirely from the wings and tail of one of the original airplanes that ever soared. woe, this is wild. >> a couple pilots who have come out have said the only time they've been on a wing was during training. >> reporter: yeah. >> otherwise you don't get to walk on a wing. >> reporter: the project was the brainchild of architect david hirsch. >> i started with a curved ceiling. it reminds me of an airplane wing section. it just flashed on why not use an airplane wing? >> i said let's go find a plane. it's a cool idea. let's go find a plane first. >> reporter: it was 2005 when

that search brought them to an airplane boeing yard in the mojave desert. 90 miles outside of los angeles. they settled on this pan-arm turned tower air jet for a price tag of $35,000 but that was just the beginning. >> then they cut it in half. >> cut the wing off. transported the wing in the entirety, closing five freeways pardon the pun, but we were winging it through the whole job. >> reporter: the 125-foot long wings had to go for one last flight. >> who knew we'd have to shut the wings in half and fly them from the airport here to the site. >> the wings are here. >> i know. >> so what you're essentially saying buying the plane was one thing, getting it here was the

expense. >> that's correct. >> shipping not included? >> yeah, no kidding. >> reporter: other parts found their way into the house too. >> look at this. this is the original plane, too? >> yes. >> not many airplane wings open. >> and take off. >> i designed it not with just an idea let's have a woman living in an airplane. i dined it as an organize beganic processbegan ic organic process of trying achieve the most dramatic effect. >> reporter: it took six years. approval from six government agencies even questioning from homeland security officials wondering why they were buying a 747 but francie has a dream home. >> it is say reused repurpose. and think about next time you're flying what you might build out of a discard. >> reporter: i'm still waiting for my mileage.

>> uh-huh. >> reporter: there it is. >> there it is. >> reporter: and she's getting even more mileage out of the it in the near future when she turned the fuselage into a studio here. you're airborne. >> exactly. >> reporter: one thing to buy the play $40,000 off the desert floor. getting that plane to the location. helicopters alone go to $18,000 an hour to get that wing to that location. >> wow, how much does a house cost, peter, and what does the homeowner do for a living? >> well the check baggage fees are going to kill you. >> really, i'm curious. >> this was probably a $200,000 construction house just to get it on to the location and then you start building. >> it's such a cool idea she does what for a living i missed that part? >> she basically flies on the ground. >> you can buy a plane, you just have a hard time getting it? >> there's a 747 in stockholm with a hotel. >> charlie's minds going.

>> that does it f ready? happy birthday! it's a painting easel! the tide's coming in! this is my favorite one. it's upside down. oh, sorry. (woman vo) it takes him places he's always wanted to go. that's why we bought a subaru. (announcer) love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru.
