>> reporter: what i was just told, diane, by a senior republican leadership aid in the house is that the president listened to this offer from the republicans of this short-term increase and did not say yes, he did not say no. the talks will go on tonight. i've got to tell you, it is quite extraordinary to see a meeting like this all the mics and canal ras were set up for the republicans to come out to talk. none of them said a word. that may be the most positive thing of all. nobody was calling any names here after this meeting, at least not yet. >> jon, and again they are going to keep talking tonight. thank you. and as you said the mere hope firefighter a deal producing a big rally on wall street. the best day for the dow all year, up 323 points, all of the shutdown losses wiped away in one day of trading. and as the politicians still argue, outraged americans are still stepping forward to try to do their jobs. especially the part that includes honoring the families of americans lost in war zones.

>> reporter: foster farms has responded to the usda. tonight their deciding whether the plant will open. but there are still new cases being reported, foster farms says their chicken is safe if it's cooked properly. until this outbreak is over, i wouldn't eat this chicken. the plant numbers are on our website as well as the brands that are involved. people can check there. >> you'll see everybody there on our website. thanks, rich. and next tonight, a new mystery for the three brave women held captive in that house of horrors in cleveland. michele knight, gina de jesus, amanda berry. aerial castro found dead in his prison cell. tonight, a new question, did prison guards secretly let it happen? alex perez back on the story. >> reporter: when aerial cast troe was innocenced to life in prison last august, one of his victims, michele knight confronted his abductor. >> i spent 11 years in hell.
