7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning." the republican deadlock over the next speaker of the house could be about to break. the house ways and means committee chairman paul ryan now says he is willing to do the job -- his way. senior gop leaders have urged the former vice presidential candidate to run. >> the house will vote next week, more than a month after speaker john boehner says he's ri resigning. ryan says conditions must be met before he runs. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with his list of demands. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. first and foremost, ryan says the different wings of the house republican congress must endorse him by friday or he won't run. that turns the tables on hard line conservatives hoping to extract concessions from their next speaker in exchange for their support. >> what i told members is, if you can agree to these requests, and if i can truly be a unifying
7:04 am
figure, then i will serve. >> reporter: ryan laid out his demands first for the caucus, then for the press. >> we need to move from an opposition party to being a proposition party. >> reporter: then, he said, the house rule book must be changed. >> it needs to include fixes that ensure we don't experience constant leadership challenges and crises. >> reporter: the last request was personal. >> i cannot and will not give up my family time. i may not be on the road as much as previous speakers but i pledge to try to make up for it with more time communicating our vision, our message. >> reporter: most house republicans were happy to oblige, after begging the far of three to take the job. >> there was overwhelming applause. i didn't see anyone booing. >> reporter: one candidate dropped out. >> he's the right person at the right time. >> reporter: ryan's unusual approach is a reflection of his
7:05 am
strong leverage, as a conservative who has also cut deals with democrats he's seen as one of the only people who can unite his fractured party, after hardliners threatened to force out current speaker john boehner and doomed his replacement, kevin mccarthy. ryan warned them as speaker he would work with the other side. >> my greatest worry is the consequence of not stepping up, of some day having my own kids ask me, when the stakes were so high, why didn't you do all you could do, why didn't you stand and fight for my future when you had a chance to do so. >> reporter: house republicans have been meeting behind closed doors this morning to discuss this further. and hardliners know if they don't get behind ryan, they will be blamed for him backing out. ironically, this is the kind of hardball approach they say they've been looking for in their next speaker. >> nancy, thank you. this morning vice president joe biden is trying to distance himself from hillary clinton by trying to highlight his closeness to president obama. but he also faces new questions
7:06 am
after giving a new account of his role in the decision to kilos a.m. -- kill osama bin la. major garrett has more. >> reporter: good morning. the presidential watch is a full-blown distraction for the white house, which has to referee a public debate about who is more important to president obama, a former secretary of state or his vice president. the joe biden presidential tease, episode 100, or so it seems, was on display. >> i have now traveled over 1,100,000 miles as vice president. >> reporter: at a dinner honoring walter mondale, who lost his race for the
7:07 am
presidency. biden generated a debate about how important he was to the president, one example, traveling overseas. >> john kerry is a great secretary of state. hillary clinton was a great secretary of state. but there are times when only the vice president, if it's known of his relationship with the president, can speak for the united states when the president can't be there. >> reporter: biden's attempt to diminish kerry and clinton surprised some in the white house, as did his revision i have the history on privately advocating that president obama approve the plan to capture or kill osama bin laden. >> i told him my opinion, that i thought he should go but follow his own instincts. >> reporter: this is how biden described his role in 2012. >> mr. president, my suggestion is don't go, we have to do two more things to see if he's there. he walked out and said, i'll give you my decision. >> reporter: biden's new version also suggested potential rival
7:08 am
hillary clinton appeared indecisi indecisive, although they portrayed herself at fully on board at her recent appearance in south carolina. >> i recommended to the president that he go ahead. his advisors were split. >> reporter: the white house refused to play fact checker. >> this is not the first time a significant political event has prompted differing recollections from people who participated in it. >> reporter: at that same briefing, there are those here at the white house who while they admire biden's loyalty and service to the president are nonetheless becoming tongue-tied, confused, and just a bit fatigued about the vice president's decision-making process. >> thank you, major. a managing editor of bloomberg politics joins us. >> confused and fatigued pretty much describes me, particularly on the subject of the new york mets. >> we'll get to that later.
7:09 am
biden. does that controversy play into the decisionmaking process? >> there's no doubt that joe biden and hillary clinton have spent the last week shadow boxing, from the moment in the debate when she started talking about how close she was to president obama. she's be able saying, you stay out of this race. biden's basically saying, hey, if i want in this race, i'm going to get in this race, and i've got an argument to make. i think in the end the decision he's making now is deeply personal. it's not about her or the debate or anything else. it's not about the benghazi committee tomorrow. it's gut check time. >> i wonder if he's looking for a reason to go or not to go. >> there are people close to him in the last few days who have told me he changed his mind on a daily basis on what he wants to do. if he's in, we'll see him in
7:10 am
iowa at the jefferson-jackson dinner. if he's not in, we won't. >> he says one thing publicly, and could it be true that he says something else to the president privately? >> yes. on the basis of reporting that i've done, not in this moment but a couple of years ago, people around biden said he would often in meetings adopt stances that were not his stance in order to try to tease out disagreements in the room, in order to try to serve as the president's -- doing a service to the president so that it would seem as though it wasn't clear what he would do. he would go off privately and express his view. we don't know what he expressed to president obama privately. that's a matter that will never be known except those two guys. >> any indication that paul ryan won't get the backing of the entire party? >> everyone here at this table knows, the best negotiation is
7:11 am
the one where you really mean you're willing to walk away. he doesn't really want this job, that gives him a lot of power. there are still some people on the right who don't want him. >> thank you, john. >> cbs news will hold a debate with the democratic candidates next month. you can see it on november 14th, 6:00 p.m. pacific time, here on cbs. breaking news, a u.s. marine pilot died when his plane crashed in britain. the f-18 fighter jet had just taken off in eastern england. it went down 7 miles from the base. so far the cause is not is known. a surprise from moscow this morning where embattled syrian president bashar al assad met with russian president vladimir putin whose military is supporting assad in the military we're in syria. mark strassmann has more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it was about a shabashar al ass
7:12 am
trip since war broke out in syria. it was also another sign of who is now running the show on the government side of the syrian conflict. this was a lot more than a courtesy call. it was a thanks for everything and i mean everything call. with vladimir putin effectively becoming bashar al assad's air force, the beleaguered leader smiled as he hasn't smiled in years. moscow's attacks have largely been against other anti-assad forces, some of them supported by the u.s. and the west. the attacks have served to shore up the crumbling syrian regime. the syrian president said he had come to express his huge gratitude. the russian president hailed the syrians for standing up to the militants, he said, almost on their own.
7:13 am
they never have been on their own. assad has been supported by the iranians and allies from lebanon. and the introduction of russian jet bombers with dubious intent may prolong the war rather than bring it closer to an end. and of course it brings russian planes into airspace the u.s. has been using in its antiisis campaign. a new u.s.-russian memorandum of understanding, kept secret under demand of the russians, has been agreed on certain protocols to try to keep russian planes and u.s. planes apart. but washington says it does not constitute u.s. cooperation or support for russia's military activities in syria, norah. >> our reporters reached out to the white house to see if the united states had any intelligence about assad's trip to moscow. officials declined to comment on what its strategic importance might be. the vatican is strongly
7:14 am
denying a report that pope francis has a small brain tumor. the story is that he recently saw a brain cancer specialist who determined that a small spot on francis's brain could be treated without surgery. the vatican calls the report unfounded and seriously unfounded. that's terrible. the nypd is mourning one of its own killed in the line of duty. officer randolph holder was shot in the head tuesday night after a gun battle. he was pursuing a suspect in manhattan's east harlem neighborhood. the police caught the suspect several blocks away with gunshot wound in his leg. holder was a third generation police officer. his father comforted grieving officers at the hospital. the police commissioner says holder is the fourth officer murdered in the city in the last 11 months. >> our condolences to his family. police in south florida say a black man shot and killed by an officer was armed with a
7:15 am
handgun. the palm beach gardens police say a gun belonging to cory jones was found at the scene of sunday's shooting. they say it was purchased legally by well-known musician and city housing inspector. mark strassmann is live with the investigation into the shooting. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. police here say not only did jones own the handgun they found at the scene, but records show he bought it three days before his shooting death. police here have yet to say how many times the police officer shot at jones or whether jones shot at the officer at all. palm beach gardens police officer raja told investigators he was confronted by an armed cory jones. >> the handgun was found on the ground outside the vehicle. mr. jones purchased the handgun three days before the officer-involved shooting. >> reporter: jones played drums at the bible church of god in
7:16 am
boynton beach where the bishop said his grandson is no criminal history. >> he's just been a lovely grandchild. the thing which happened to me, i can't explain it. i can't understand it. >> reporter: officer raja had a clean record after six months at the palm beach gardens police department. he also served on the atlanta police from 2008 to 2013. in 2013 he received a written reprimand for repeatedly mishandling evidence and paperwork and was called derelict in his duties for careless handling of the documented cases. jones, a well-known musician in the boynton area, was driving home from a job early sunday when his car broke down on an i-95 exit ramp. he called a band mate, who went to the scene. he called roadside assistance for jones, then went home. >> i left him. he gave me a high five, said thank you, thanks for helping me out. >> reporter: another band mate
7:17 am
played with him in a reggae band, "future presidents." >> he taught me a lot about patience and understanding. >> reporter: this early morning shooting, which apparently had no other witnesses, has reignited the debate about whether police officers should wear body cameras. officer raja was not wearing one and his unmarked vehicle did not have a dashboard camera. >> very confusing story. thank you, mark. a major shift this morning in screening for breast cancer. for the first time in more than a decade, the american cancer society is recommending that most women wait until the age of 45 to get a yearly mammogram. at age 55 they can switch to every two years. >> these new guidelines are fueling the debate on how breast to fight the disease. the chief of breast surgery in mount sinai hospital in new york joins us. good morning. i'm 41. i haven't had a mammogram. should i still get one? >> absolutely, you should. the guidelines are very clear that we should start screening mammograms at age 40, because
7:18 am
there's an absolutely clear-cut reduced risk of dying from breast cancer beginning at that age. those recommendations should not change. >> what is the american cancer society is doing? >> a fair amount of speaking out of both sides of the mouth. on the one hand they want to reduce what they call harms related biopsies, which are fear, anxiety. on the other hand, they say they stick with their mission to save lives, and there's only one way to do that, and that's to continue with yearly mammograms. >> i read every line of this. they also recommend against manual exam by your doctor, which i've always had in every single one of my visits. what? >> agreed. my question is, if they're saying no to mammograms every two years and not examining yourselves, how will these breast cancers be found? they'll be found the size of golf balls, which is a huge step back. >> why would getting screened less be a good thing? >> it's not a good thing, gayle,
7:19 am
i completely agree with you. i think it's done with two goals. number one, cutting costs. i think that they should be focusing their efforts elsewhere. mammograms are a test that are clearly shown to reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer. this is not one place where we should be cutting back. >> and to be clear, insurance does cover mammograms starting at age 40. >> it does. these guidelines and shift in positions could influence that, and that's concerning. >> thank you, doctor. three high school hackers could face y,,

8:13 am
controls where you go next, ppo gives more flexibility but usually more expensive. these costs are rising, you really have to take a close look at what's going on in your life and pick the best plan for you. >> and we should drill down because there are changes -- i always just check, check, check whatever -- whatever i did the year before. that's not very smart. >> well, i know, and that's usually what most people do and that's why we're asking -- >> that's what most people do. >> it's the path of least resistance. what's important here is there are ways to save some money. we have a lot of large employers that are introducing new plans, they are called high deductible plans, you have a big deductible but you actually pay less in premiums. they pair that with a health savings account, that allows to you put money pretax away. this can be a great option if you are young and healthy, you want to limit the amount of money you're paying, but i should also mention we have flexible spending accounts, you can put 2,500 bucks a year away pretax.
