7:08 am
if you look at the president's position on the debt ceiling where he would not negotiate over spending cuts tide the increase, that was an unpopular position in our poll. 23% of the country supported that. what the country had a punishing dislike was for the republican strategy of tying the president to owe program care. in the next round of fights over spending and taxes and the size of government, the question is will the public feel the same way about the president? it's a totally different context. >> how does this deal set up the next round of negotiations enforcement that something might get done on a budget? >> we've seen the next round of fights will be over the same things we've discussed years. in that way, nobody should have great hopes about the successful outcome. big questions of how do you get a handle on growth of entitlement and generating

7:10 am
women in the senate who showed they know how to bring about the art of compromise. >> no doubt indeed. what about the thought within the republican party given their ratings took a real hit during this? they lost focus on pointing out the glitches in the rolle out of the health care reform bill. >> the roll out of the health care reform bill has been so bad as if it was designed to ratify complaints republicans had that this program is not ready for prime time. that was on the back burner kwhi while the fight over the shutdown continues. the long view is in several months if obama care and roll out is still a disaster, people will look back and say what was that big fight about? it was about obama consider. maybe that fight had merit to it. on the other hand if glitches get forgotten and it rolls

great shakeout. in california, the only real question is when. scientists put the chance of a massive quake at 99.7% in the next 30 years. as ben tracy shows us, little has been done to strengthen the most vulnerable buildings. >> reporter: the 1994 northridge earthquake killed 72 people and caused $20 billion in damage. at the time, some city leaders called for a list of buildings that could collapse during a major quake, but it was considered too costly to force building owners to retrofit their properties so the list was never made. >> how much does the idea of the big one worry you? >> it's a constant fear. >> reporter: ethan eller manages the newmark building in downtown los angeles, home to many fashion wholesalers. 12 stories of concrete built in 1925. if you were to reinforce this building with steel, what would that cost you?

our most dangerous buildings in los angeles. >> reporter: tom heaton is a seismologist at cal tech. >> if we had a large earthquake similar to the northridge earthquake, but in the downtown area, i would expect to see many thousands of people killed, maybe tens of thousands. >> reporter: in 1981, los angeles mandated that 8,000 brick buildings be reinforced or knocked down. the state has spent $6 billion renovating highways and overpasses. all new buildings are built to stricter earthquake codes but owners of existing concrete buildings where thousands live and work have not been forced to make changes. now the l.a. city council is considering a review of concrete buildings built before 1976. but in a motion filed tuesday, one council member writes, we have known about these dangers for some time. however, we must also be aware of the costs involved in any comprehensive effort to require retrofitting. ethan eller says his company

spent $1 million in seismic upgrades at the newmart building. you feel like you've done everything you can to that's reasonable to make this building more safe? >> yes, we're very cognizant of our tenants and their customers. if you kill your tenants, that doesn't pay the rent. >> we're having an aftershock right now, people. >> reporter: nobody knows when the big one will strike, but it's clear that los angeles has a concrete problem to solve. for "cbs high pressure starting to weaken just a little bit. so our temperatures will come down a few degrees today. not by much. it should be a gorgeous day. get out and enjoy it if you can. a lot of sunshine coming our way as high pressure sits overhead right now. weak system sliding to the east of us overnight brought a few high clouds. but i think as we head in toward the afternoon, still a lot of sunshine but a stronger sea breeze along the coastline. 60s and low 70s there. 70s inside the bay and 80s in the valleys. next couple of days, warmer on friday and saturday.

we're following breaking nen redwood city. this is a live we're following breaking nen redwood city. this is a live look right now. a six-alarm fire continues toe trol in a large hi, everyone. good morning. 7:56. i'm frank mallicoat. we are following breaking news in redwood city. a live look right now. a six-alarm fire continues to burn out of control in a large apartment complex on woodside road still some smoke and a little flame down there. it started about 5:30 this morning and this is what it looked like early this morning when chopper 5 was flying overhead. four people were injured, one seriously, no deaths record. firefighters have been making sure everyone got out safely. no word on the cause. it is affecting traffic and we got your weather forecast both coming up right after the break. ,,,,,,
7:58 am
bridge toll plaza. traffic still stacked up from the foot of the macarthur maze with the metering lights on. sky one flew over marin county and told us south 101 is slow leaving novato approaching central san rafael. in redwood city because of the apartment fire, woodside road is closed indefinitely both ways near union avenue. there have also been an accident -- there's also been an accident north 101 approaching woodside road. that's traffic. here's lawrence. >> all right. looking like a great day ahead, a lot of sunshine coming our way even along the coastline again. we have nice clear skies, no fog to worry about, but you'll see some changes along the coastline today. i think stronger sea breeze kicking in toward the afternoon and probably temperatures slightly cooler outside. high pressure breaking down weakening somewhat as the low goes east but we'll see a nice day. a lot ofoids inland, 70s inside the bay and some 60s low 70s toward the coast. warmer on friday and saturday. ,,
7:59 am
this is a cbs special news report. i'm charlie rose with norah o'donnell in new york. the president is about to make a statement in the white house about the budget compromise he signed last night. this is a live picture of the dining room, and the partial shutdown will allow the united states to keep borrowing money lu the country. >> about 50,000 furloughed employees are headed back to work. monuments and national parks are e reopening, and we got these pictures from the lincoln memorial where the crews are e removing the barricades. people are lining up to get into the capitol visitor's center, but right now the focus is down pennsylvania avenue. bill plante is down at the white house. what should we expect to hear? >> well, norah, the president is not going to do any gloeting, and no need for that, and e
8:00 am
everyone in washington has the blame. he will outline what he calls the consequences of the damage to the economy, and he is going to talk about the things that he wants to do to move ahead like immigration reform, education, pre-k education, a farm bill, and all of that before the end of the year. the white house specialists tell us that they don't believe that the republicans will want go through this for three or four months. the republicans know that they will not get anything from this president on the debt limit or anything else. he won't budge. norah, charlie? >> well, bill, the budget negotiations begin immediately, do they not? >> they do. in fact, there were budget negotiators at the breakfast at the capitol and people have said, why do you think that these budget negotiations can -- here's the president. good morning, everybody. please have a seat. last night i signed legislation to reopen our government and pay
8:01 am
america's bills, because democrats and responsible republicans came together, and the first government shutdown in 17 years is now over. the first default in more than 200 years will not happen. these twin threats to the economy have now been lifted, and i want to thank those democrats and republicans for getting together and ultimately getting together to get this job done. now, there's been a lot of discussion lately of the politics of this shutdown. but let's be clear. there are no winners here. these last few weeks have inflicted completely unnecessary damage on our economy. we don't know yet the full scope of the damage, but every analyst out there believes it will slow the growth. we know that the families have gone without paycheck or services they depend on. we know that the potential home
8:02 am
buy iers have gotten fewer mortgages and the small business loans have been put on hold. we know that the consumers have cut back on spending, and that half of all ceos say that the shutdown and the threat of shutdown set back their plans to hire over the next six months. we know that just the threat of default of america not paying all of the bills that we owe on time increased the borrowing costs, which adds to the deficit. of course, we know that the america's people's frustration with what goes on in this town the has never been higher. that is not a surprise. that the american people are completely fed up with washington. and at moment when the economic recovery demands more jobs, more momentum, we have got yet another self-inflicted crisis that set our economy back.
8:03 am
and for what? there was no economic rationale for all of this. over the past four years, our economy has been growing. our businesses have been creating jobs, and our deficits have been cut in half. we hear some members who pushed for shutdown say they were doing it to save the american economy, but nothing has done more to undermine the economy in the past three years than the kind of tactics that create these manufactured crises. and you don't have to take my word for it. the agency that put america's credit rating on watch the other day explicitly cited all of this, saying that the economy remains more dynamic and e resilient than other advanced economies, and that the only thing putting us at risk, and
8:04 am
i'm quoting here, repeated brinksmanship. that is what the credit agency said. that was not a political statement. that was an analysis of what is hurting our economy by people whose job it is to analyze these things. that also happens to be the view of our diplomats who have been hearing from their counterparts internationally, and some the same folks who threatened default and shutdown were some who claimed that their actions were to get america back on the right track, to make sure we are strong, but mprobably, nothing has done more damage to america's credibility in the world, and our standing in other countries than the spectacle that we have seen in the past few weeks. i has encouraged the enemies and
8:05 am
enned our enemies and worried our friends. the good news is that we bounce back, and we always do. america is the bedrock of the glow palbal economy for a reaso. it is the safest, and wisest place to invest, and something that has made it easy for americans to invest in their own futures. we have earned that responsibility over more than two centuries, because of the dynamism of the economy, and the entrepreneurs, and the productive ti of the worker-- productivity of the workers and also because we keep our word. that is what full faith and credit means. you can count on us. today, i want the people and our
8:06 am
businesses and the rest of the world to know that the full faith and credit of the united states remains unquestioned. but, all of my friends in congress understand that how business is done in this town has to change. because we have got a lot of work to do on behalf of the american people, and that includes the hard work of regaining their trust. our system of self-government do doesn't function without it. and now that the government has reopened, and the threat to our economy is removed, all of us need to stop focusing on the lobbyists and the bloggers and the talkingheads on radio, and the professional activists whoc on what the ma jjority of the americans did to send us here and that is to grow the e kcono, create good jobs, strengthen the middle class, educate our kids,
8:07 am
and lay the foundation for broad spread prosperity, and get our fiscal house in order for the long haul. that is why we are here. that should be our focus. that won't be easy. we all know that we have the divided government right now. there is a lot of noise out there, and the pressure from the extreme extremes affect how a lot of the members of congress see the day-to-day work that is supposed to be done here. and let e's face it, the americ people don't see every issue the same way. that doesn't mean that we can't make progress. and when we disagree, we don't have to suggest that the other side doesn't love this country or believe in free enterprise or all of the rhetoric that seems to get worse every single year. if we disagree on something, we
8:08 am
can move on and focus on thing ths that we agree on. and get some stuff done. let me be specific about three place places where i believe that we can make progress right now. first, in the coming days and weeks, we should sit down and pursue a balanced approach to a responsible budget. a budget that grows our economy faster and shrinks the long-h term deficits further. at the beginning of this year, that is what both democrats and republicans committed to doing. senate passed a budget, and the house passed a budget, and they were supposed to come together to and negotiate. had one side not decided to pursue a strategy of brinksm brinksmanship each side could have gotten together and figured out how to shape a budget that
8:09 am
provides certainty to businesses and people who rely on government and certainly the investors in the economy, and we'd be growing faster right u now. the good news is that the legislation i signed yesterday now requires congress the do exa exactly that, what it could have been doing all along. and we shouldn't approach this process of creating a budget as an ideological exercise. just cutting for the sake of cutting. the issue is not growth versus fiscal responsibility. we need both. we need a budget that deals with the issues that most americans are focused on. creating more good jobs that pay better wages. and remember, the deficit is getting smaller and not bigger. it is going down faster than it has in the last 50 years. the challenge that we have right
8:10 am
now are not short term deficits, but it's the long-term obligations around the things that we have like medicare and social security. we want to make sure those are there for the future generations. so the e key now is a budget that cuts out the things that we don't need, closes corporate tax loopholes that don't help create jobs and frees up resources for the things that do help us grow like education, and infrastructure and research, and these things historically have not been partisan. and this should not be as difficult as it has been in a few years ago, because we are spending less than what we have a few years ago. our deficits are less than what we had a few years ago. our problems now are long-term,
8:11 am
and we can change them without shortchanging our kids or grandkids or weakening the security that current generations have earned from their hard work. so that is number one. number two, we should finish fixing the job of our -- let me say that again. number two, we should finish the job of fixing our broken immigration system. there's already a broad coalition across america behind this effort of comprehensive immigration reform from political leaders, to faith-based leaders to law enforcement. in fact, the senate has passed a bill already with strong bipartisan support to make the biggest commitment to border security in our history, an modernize our legal immigration system and make sure that everybody is playing by the same rules and make shure that the
8:12 am
folks who came here illegally pay a fine, and pay back taxes and meet their financial obligations. that bill has passed the senate. and economists estimate if that bill becomes law, our economy is 5% larger than it is now. and that is $1.4 trillion in new economic growth. the ma jjority of the americans think that it is the right thing to do. and it is sitting there waiting for the house to pass it. now, if the house has ideas op how the improve the senate bill, let's hear them. l let's start the negotiations, but don't leave this problem to keep festering for another year or two years or three years. this can and should get done by the end of this year. number three, we should pass a
8:13 am
farm bill that protects ranchers and farmers and protects adults and children and the right to grow. and again, the senate has already pass ed a solid bipartisan bill. it has support from the democrats and the republicans. it is sitting in the house waiting for passage. if house republicans have ideas that they think would improve the farm bill, let's see them. let's negotiate. what are we waiting for? let's get this done. so, passing a budget, immigration reform, farm bill. those are three specific things that would make a huge difference in our economy right now. and we could get them done by the end of the year, if our
8:14 am
focus is on what is good for the american people. and that's just the big stuff. there are all kinds of other things that we could be doing that don't get as much attention. i understand that we will not suddenly agree on everything now that the cloud of crisis has passed. democrats and republicans are far apart on a lot of issues. i recognize that there are folks on the other side who think that my policies are misguided. that is putting it mildly. that is okay. that's democracy. that is how it works. we can debate those differences vigorously, passionately, in good faith through the normal democratic process. and sometimes, we will be too far apart to forge an agreement,
8:15 am
but that should not hold back our efforts in the areas where we do agree. we shouldn't fail to act on areas that we do agree or could agree just because we don't feel it is good politics. just because the extremes in the p party don't like the word compromise. i will look for willing partners wherever i can to get important work done. and there's no good reason why we can't govern responsibly. despite our differences, without lurching from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis. in fact, one tof the things tha i hope that all of us have learned in the past few weeks is that it turns out that smart effective government is important.
8:16 am
it matters. the american people in the shutdown had a chance to get some idea of all of the things that are large and small that government does that makes a difference in people's lives. we hear all of the time about how government is the problem. well, it turns out that we rely on it in a whole lot of ways. not only does it keep us strong through the military and the law enforcement, it plays a vital role in caring for the seniors and the veterans, educating our kids, making sure that our workers are preparing for the jobs and being creative and armed with the best sciences and technology to compete with the companies from other countries. it plays a key role in keeping our food and our toys and our workplaces safe. it helps folks rebuild after a
8:17 am
storm. it conserves our natural resources. it finances start-ups. it helps to sell our products overseas. it provides security to our diplomats abroad. so let's work together to make government work better. instead of treating it like an enemy or purposely making it work worse. that is not what the founders of this nation envisioned when they gave us the gift of self-government. you don't like a particular policy or a particular president, then argue for your position. go out there and win an election. push to change it. but don't break it. don't break what our pred s
8:18 am
predecessors spent over two centuries building. that's not being faithful to what this country is about. and that brings me to one last point. i have a simple message for the dedicated and the patriotic federal workers who have been working without pay or have been forced without pay for the past few weeks, including most of my own staff. thank you. thanks for your service. welcome back. what you do is important. it matters. you protect our country overseas and deliver to our veterans, and protect our borders and gain
8:19 am
footholds in markets, and protect the air we breathe and the water our children drink and guide the wonders of space, and provide people with the glories of this country, thank you. what you do is important, and don't let anybody else tell you different, especially the young people who come to this city to serve. believe that it matters. well, you know what, you are right, it does. and those of us who had that privilege to serve this country have the obligation to do our job as best we can. we come from different parties, but we are americans first. that is why disagreement cannot mean dysfunction. you can't degenerate into hatred. the american people's hopes and
8:20 am
dreams are what matters, and not ours. our obligations are to them. our regard for them compels us all, democrats and republicans to cooperate and come ppromise act in the best interests of our nati nation. one in addition -- one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all. it is an interesting conversation with the president, because he wants to identify with the frustration of the country and point out economic law, but to say, we can't let this happen again and we have to work together. >> and to be sort of the grown-up in the room, and to look forward and say, these are the three ways to work together, and he has gone back to the signature message for president
8:21 am
obama, we are not just democrats or republicans, but americans, and disagreement should not mean dysfunction. we will see what happens. >> and the republicans are going to be saying, these are word, and how do we define action. we go to our chief correspondent and host of "face the nation" bob schieffer. >> well, the most important thing, charlie, is when the president said there are no winners here. i mean, the president won this thing, and there is no question about this thing, but he has to be careful not to rub the opposition's noses in it. the best thing that will happen around here is that the congress will go home for a while, and the divisions are wider than they have been in a long time and not just between the republicans and the democrats, but between the house and the senate, and the republicans and the republicans, and everybody has to step back here kind of take a deep breath and refocus. the president said that we have to change the way we do business around here, because as he said,
8:22 am
these are crises created by the congress. these are manufactured crises, and the congress and the white house, all sides, no winners here, and nobody comes out of h this looking very good, think, but they have to rethink how they do business around here. i think that's what the president was saying. >> thank you, bob. >> thank you, bob, and our coverage will continue throughout the day on this cbs station, and more tonight on the "cbs evening news" with scott pelly. >> for those in the west, we will return to "abc this morning" and this has been a abs special report. i'm charlie rose with norah o'donnell. . what do grocery shopping and the defense industry have in . the ceo of lockheed martin tells us.

8:32 am
it an ultimate boys' club. if you look at lougheeckheed ma you have a lot of women. i don't consider it an old boys club. >> how has it changed? >> there was a time i was the only female in a room with a lot of leaders. today i'm happy to say it's not the case. she never turned down a promotion even though it moved her family eight times over the course of her career. >> what's the leadership passion? >> to form it. don't let it hold you back. just as my mother said, you can do anything if you put your mind to it and work hard. that would be my message. >> you've talked about your mother, that you learned about a

8:38 am
after looking at the book, i am thinking differently. i never believed that. >> look at kids in kindergarten. they're making it like a chicken with four legs and mom puts it upton refrigerator and ir somewhere around the line as not creative because you're being judged by your peers. the one thing is they don't have to create creativity. all they need is to have a few small successes. they hold their hands and have a few small successes. you write in the book you share add bedroom for 14 years. you create add telephone that only dialed your phone from your
8:39 am
