it is monday september 30th 2013. welcome to "cbs this morning." time is running out, and neither side is blifrmgnking in washington. what a government shutdown means to you. >> disaster at an airport in california. the search for victims after a small jet slams into a hangar. >> and walter white's last stand. millions watched the final episode of "breaking bad." but we begin this morning with a look at today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> majority leader harry reid

has told house of representatives and the american people go jump in the lake. >> washington pushes a government shutdown to the brink. >> without a deal, the government won't be able to play employees or provide services beginning at midnight. >> it's all about obamacare. >> we offered to compromise. >> enough is enough. >> do you think that is really going to happen? >> i'm afraid i do. >> we had a citation run off the end of a runway. we need you there immediately. >> a small plane crashed at the santa monica airport in california. the plane hidt a storage hang ar. >> the same storm is hitting washington. >> 45 or 50 miles an hour. >> one of the hottest shows on tv "breaking bad" aired last night. >> gayle king and charlie rose

stayed up to watch sniet what are you doing here? >> i saw you on "charlie rose." >> scary moments in london. a tourist duck boat caught fire with 30 people on board. thankfully they were quickly rescued by police. >> overtime. >> it sucks. nobody likes to lose. >> you treat her good. >> i'm being very nice. >> i will be watching. i will not be watching. >> ain't america great? i was a little thug and now i'm getting paid millions of dollars for being a big thug. >> on "cbs this morning." >> it's a no-hitter! henderson alvarez, one of the strangest finishes you'll ever see. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places.

captioning funded by cbs the federal budget runs out of money in less than 17 hours. welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning to you, charlie. >> we begin in washington where republicans and democrats in congress are blaming each other. if nothing changes between now and midnight we'll see the first partial government shutdown in 17 years. >> and the impact will be widespread. passports and visa applications will be delayed. mortgage applications will not be processed. neither will gun permits. national parks will be closed. and the fda will not making routine food safety inspections. >> the central services like boarder control and air traffic control will keep running. social security benefits will still go out. medicare and medicaid programs will continue. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. good morning, nancy. >> good morning, charlie and

norah. this is normally where the adults get together up here and go behind closed doors to work something out. that's not happening. democrats insist they won't let that happen. the halls of congress were silent sunday. no negotiations no last-minute deals. just a dozen or so house republicans standing on the capitol steps urging senate democrats to get back to work. >> we're offering a compromise. they're turning us down. they're the ones who are shutting down the government. >> the motion to recore is laid on the table. >> the house passed with all but two house republicans voting yes. it funds the government through mid-december but also delays implementation of the president's health care law by a year and repeals a medical device tax which helps to fund the law.

>> people all over this country are telling all of us how much they are worried about this obamacare that they're having to contend with. >> their effort to defund the health care bill altogether died in the senate last week. democrats have denounced that the tea party-led strategy which house speaker john boehner publicly embraced. >> it's no secret the tea party republicans came here not as public servants but to destroy and decimate our government. >> the president met with senior staff on sunday to prepare for a possible shutdown. the white house called republicans reckless and irresponsible while the gop says it's the president who won't compromise. >> for heaven's sake have as much flexibility with the republicans as dwrou with the russians and iranians. that shouldn't be too much to ask. >> in an interview sunday former president bill clinton says president obama should stand their ground. >> there's nothing he should

negotiate. he shouldn't delay the health care bill. it's the law. we're opening the enrollment on october 1st. >> the house did pass a separate measure over the weekend that would ensure that military members get paid if there is a shutdown. democrats say they're open to that, but that's about the only thing, charlie and norah, that the two sides agree on right now and there are leaders now predicting that there will be a shutdown. >> thank you, nancy. cbs political director john dickerson is with us this morning. good morning, john. >> good morning. i checked to see if there are any negotiations going on. no. the clock is ticking. no negotiations are going on. there is still the possibility of a back door. one is to kind of keep trying to get a little something. use leverage to get some kind of obamacare cop session from the democrats or he can vote for what passed the senate on friday. the so-called c.r. that would

use the washington term that would keep the government open until december 15th. if he does that he'll have to get democrat votes to do it and that will give heartburn to some of his conservatives. >> is there anything that calls it the heck-no -- >> there is no heck-no. >> i'm just cleaning it up for tv. >> there's no heck-no. they would lose a lot of them. they have a bigger fight over the debt ceiling. republicans thing, let's put this to bed. don't worry about the shutdown. let's get past that. so some of the strishs might buy into that but probably not. john boehner would need democrats to fund this measure and we're into political posturing. >> so all the focus is on boehner and he may have to risk his speakership? >> there will be this revolt.

but, again, there are 20 to 40 conservatives. there are a whole bunch of republicans who think speaker boehner is doing the best he can with a group of very conservative members who aren't sort of going by the normal process. >> this is sort of i feel like it's a distraction, that this will fund for only a month and the debt ceiling fight, the structural changes that need to be made. >> and where the world will be watching and markets will be watching. >> and in the house -- or among republicans you have two fascinating approaches. one that says the president will have to deal on the debt ceiling because the consequences are so bad. others including conservatives, say, no we can't go to the brink on the debt ceiling because it's too important. >> what do you say about harry reid not having any session over the weekend to have a conversation. >> republicans say that's terrible. harry read'sid's enjoying it though

because he thinks the pressure is on the republicans. stocks here at home could also take a hit when the markets open. gigi stone is at the new york stock exchange. gigi, good morning. what can we expect on wall street? >> good morning, norah and charlie. investors are worried about a possible government shutdown. asian markets have fallen overnight and they've grown accustomed to fiscal fights in washington, this time however, is that a chief fear would set the stage for a larger battle over the debt ceiling, and if there's no agreement to raise the debt agreement, they could issue more bonds. important to note the last time the government shut down the dow was impacted by 3%. the budget standoff is really spooking businesses and consumers. that's threatening the recovery.

that's because all of the fighting has pushed up measures of uncertainty and knocked down consumer confidence. one has surged and there haven't been big signs of distress in the stock market so fark but all this continuing fighting in washington really could cloud the economic outlook, charlie. >> thanks gigi. president obama hosted israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu this morning. the meeting comes amid foreign relations between the united states and iran. bill plante is at the white house. bill, good morning. >> good morning. that's right. when the president meets prime minister netten ya nster netten ya netanyahu, he expected to hear about it. netanyahu promised he would, in his words, tell the truth in the face of sweet talk and onslaught

of smiles. iran wants them to ease up on imposing sanctions. the u.s. wants safe gadzurics to prevent iran from enriching nuclear material to the level at which it can be used in weapons, and that all before it lists any economic sanctions. netanyahu disagrees strongly with their opportunity to move forward. today's meeting with the president could be a very difficult one. israeli sources say netanyahu will have new intelligence showing that iran continues on the path to nuclear weapons. the president will assure him that none of the sanctions would be lifted until iran breaks down some out of its key components. >> thank you. nice to hear the birds chirp out there this morning. >> in california searchers this

morning are still trying to reach the victims of a small jet. as bill whitaker reports the accident is being called unsurviveable very shortly after landing the jet veered off the runway and crashed into a hangar. the plane's tail now the only recognizable piece. the fire intensified by jet fuel caused the hangar roof to cave in. these conditions made a rescue attempt possible. >> there's no survivors on that plane or in the hangar. it was impossible. it was collapsing when we got there. >> reporter: officials were unable to determine how many people were on board. >> the fire caused the hangar to collapse. during the fire the sheet metal kind of wrapped itself around the plane and is kind of encasing it. to get it off, it's going to

take a while. >> reporter: ntsb officials are on the ground now but have not been able to fully assess the wreckage. for "cbs this morning," bill whitaker, los angeles. and another aviation scare, this one overseas when an ella talia jet failed to have one of its wheels open. everyone got off the plane safely. this morning the cause is under investigation. the northwest is expected to get hit by new powerful storms today. flood watches and high wind warnings are posted across washington state. this morning our affiliate jeff dubois is with us. good morning. >> good morning. wind gusts sent trees like the

one across the street towering onto cars and it was a mess throughout the seattle region this weekend. it was around two. the city was inundated with 2 inches of rain in a single day, more than a monthly average for a saept september. in nearby tacoma it overpowered drainage systems. it stranded cars and caused traffic accidents on at least four majors. cars were backed up for an hour. local power companies worked relentlessly to restore power to those in the dark. rainfall let up briefly, giving many a chance to assess the damage done to their homes. a high wind warning, though remains in effect early this morning with wind gusts likely to hit up to 60 miles an hour in

some places and more rainfall. now we're talking possibility of some river flood warnings. it is going to be another busy and restless day in seattle. charlie and norah, back to you. >> thank you. and the numb beer two overseeing the weapons arsenal is suspended this morning amid a gambling probe. it involved iowa chips. he was relieved of his duties on september 3rd. at this point he's not under arrest or charged with a crime. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe.

$2 million on sunday. 25,000 people from around the world took part in the tunnel-to-tours race. i saw many of them out there, a lot of servicemen and women. >> wow. with last night's season finale "breaking bad" is now part of television's history. reviews say it did live up to the hype. it's a show about a chemistry teacher turned drug lord. fans seemed to like the way the directors wrapped up the plot. the last episode is sus posed to tune in. ma will watch at finale parties. >> did you like it? >> i did.

they found themselves admiring in some ways walt white. lots of people watched it. >> speaking of watching it you were two-timing me with gayle. >> we were hoping -- see, i'm intently watching it. gayle is intently focused with her camera trying to look away. >> instagraming. >> all right. i'm going to find out from gayle. >> no, no. it was not like that. it was like barkley and gayle and i watched it and gayle took pictures as well. >> barkley,

child is covered, you're on cobra, relax, deep breaths. you don't have to do anything. you are covered. what we're talking about tomorrow is uninsured legal citizens of the u.s. they can start shopping for health care insurance as of tomorrow at health care.gov. >> so people who are starting to shop tomorrow willhere will they go to bite and how much will it cost? >> it sounds very confusing, but it isn't. if you go to one of these website like healthcare.gov it's going to ask you where do you live. when you get there, you'll see different types of coverage covering 60% to 90% of your health care costs. you can choose it. >> gold plan and -- >> right. precious metals plan. this is like going to shop for a flight on travelocity.

you're going to a place, compares costing, choosing coverage. that's what you need to know. this is all starting tomorrow. >> jill, you make it sound so easy. there's been so many reports of glitches already. >> i think with any rollout there are going to be glitches but the concept should be easy. you can start shopping on october 1st for coverage that begins on january 1st and like any open enrollment you actually have a longer period of time. so from october 1st all the way through march 31st you have a chance to get coverage. again, if you don't have insurance. if you don't have insurance, you don't have to do anything. >> there's a lot of examples of how much it costs. the penalty if you don't buy, if you're an individual if you're young, healthy, it may cost several,000 dollars a month or 95 dollars a year. won't people pay the penalty? >> remember the penalty is $95 a year or 1% of your income whatever is greater. the cost goes up. so when we get to the year 2016

it's $695 per person or 2.5% of your income. that's a real incentive. look. this plan has to get young healthy people in it or else the plan does not work. >> and if there's a government shutdown? >> we're open for business at the affordable business care act. it will be open tomorrow. there's going to be glitches but everything will work out, don't worry. a video showing microsoft's ceo steve ballmer saying good-bye to his thousands of employees last week. it was not your typical corporate event. don dahler is with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. good morning, norah. steve ballmer announced he would be stepping down from serving as ceo for microsoft for 13 years. >> it's my whole professional world. microsoft is like a fourth child

to me. >> reporter: microsoft ceo steve ballmer said good-bye last thursday for a company he's worked at for 33 years. video obtained by online news magazine "the verge" showed 35,000 employees packed inside the arena for the passionate speech. >> you work for the greatest company in the world. >> reporter: the 57-year-old is credited with helping bill gates turn microsoft from a tiny startup into what was once the world's most valuable company, but he soon became known more for his zany personality. >> developer, developers developers. >> reporter: than his groundbreaking innovations. >> it's about making people's lives different and microsoft has never been quite so good in anticipating where those changes are going to come from and how to execute on those changes. >> reporter: critic says one of the greatest blunders was dismissing apple's iphone when

it was introduced years ago. >> $500? i said that is the most expensive phone in the world and it doesn't appeal to business customers r but wi 2012 the iphone was generated more than microsoft's entire company. meanwhile since he took the reins from gates he's seen the share drop i think the microsoft name and windows brand name they're sort of old and tainted. i think if microsoft would give itself a fresh start, reintroduce its start. it would actually go a long way in showing how good they are. >> as microsoft prepares to enter a new phase without balmer he had one message for employees. choosing to go out to a song that he said was perfect for the occasion.

♪ i've had the time of my life ♪ >> despite the farewell speech balmer is still leading microsoft while they're searching for a new ceo. he's preparing to step down once a new suitable person is found. >> he's a very rich man because he bought stock a long time ago. >> he's done well. >> what's he worth? about $15 billion? >> about $15 billion. and in italy, amanda knox's retrial is under way. she spent four years convicteded of a murder but later she and her boyfriend were acquitted of the killing of her roommate. mark phillips is in london. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. good morning, norah. it's been six years and it's starting all over again.

amanda knox has decided not go back to italy. she's older and wiser now. >> nothing to fear but plenty to fear because i was already in prison wrongfully. i was already convicted wrongfully, and this -- this is everything to fear. >> amanda knox's new fear comes from this courtroom in florence where a panel of judges will again decide her fate. it will be her fourth trial for the murder of knox's british college roommate meredith kerber in the italian city of prucha in 2007. it's been a long road. an appeal court controversily overturned the verdict largely on the grounds of bungling by investigators and the prosecution. the victim had had her throat

cut but the murder weapon was never found and the dna evidence was inconclusive. yet if anyone thought the ordeal for knox and the kercher family was over it wasn't. they ordered a retrial for what they called efficiency, logical conclusions of an appeal court ruling. from the safety of seattle, amanda knox is still protesting her innocence but says the wheels of justice can grind on slowly without her. she will not go back to lit. >> i italy. >> i'm doing everything to prove my insoens. i think it's very sad that that's what it's come to. the justice is about the prosecution of proving guilt of someone and it shouldn't be up to me whether or not i get to live my life free.

>> reporter: there's no real risk in knox's decision. the italian court can hold her in content but that wouldn't affect her sentencing. for the victim's family they have to relive it all over again and they still have no legal closure on who killed meredith. >> thank you. bill o'reilly, what he revealed in a "60 minutes" interview ahead on "cbs this morning." if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, like me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about trying or adding a biologic. this is humira, adalimumab. this is humira working to help relieve my pain. this is humira helping me through the twists and turns. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for over ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block
