welcome to world news tonight. nuclear shake up, a top general in charge of america's nuclear arsenal fired. the pentagon says personal misbehave yore. deal or no deal? the latest on the government shutdown, accelerating negotiations tonight. tragedy at the zoo. why an elephant seemed to turn on a veteran trainer. and unbreakable. malala, the miracles that led to her recovery and the moment she opened her eyes.

>> i'm seeing this is a new life. >> our person of the week. and a good evening to you on friday night. we start with a developing story, a shake up at the highest level of the u.s. military. a top general in charge of nuclear weapons fired, and this comes 48 hours after another top military commander was dismissed. abc's chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has been talking to her sources, has the latest. >> these officers have some of the highest clearances you can get and have been in charge of the nation's most sensitive nuclear arsenal. a stunning chain of events today michael carrie, the two star general responsible for the nation's three intercontinental ballistic wings fired from his command.

the reason personal misbehavior on a military business trip. this comes 48 hours after president obama himself relieved the number two in command over the nation's nuclear arsenal over his suspected use of counterfeit poker chips. these follow an alarming string of general officers losing their jobs this year for inappropriate behavior, misconduct or lack of leadership. two marine corps generals fired less than two weeks ago for not providing proper force protection in afghanistan. an army general relieved for adultery. an army two star general fired for groping a civilian. in march a navy one star removed for racially insensitive comments and abuses if leadership. last spring, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff was so concerned about all of the high profile cases, he sent a letter to pentagon brass urging a recommitment to ethical leadership. the navy has been the most

aggressive in taking its officers to task, at least 16 commanders have been fired this year. the bad news is how much this is happening, diane. but the good news is that the services are taking action. >> martha raddatz reporting in tonight. thank you, martha. and now the other big story out of washington, what is happening on that stale mate, the shutdown. the new signs politicians are scrambling to hammer out a deal. we have two reports starting with abc's chief white house correspondent jonathan karl, giving us the latest right now. what are you hearing? >> reporter: there is no deal yet. but essentially republicans are negotiating the terms of their own surrender. if a deal is struck it will certainly both reopen the government and put off the threat of default. but all of the big republican demands, virtually all of them are now off the table, especially obama care. that was what started all of this and major changes to obama care are not even on the table at this point.

now, there have been intense talks all day long, all of the republican senators came to the white house today. and those talks will continue over the weekend. it's still possible that this could all blow up. but there's a growing sense that a deal will be struck. now, diane, i should say republicans will get something out of this, perhaps spending cuts or agreement on future budget negotiations, but the tea party is going to hate this deal, get ready for a big backlash, if a deal is struck. the thing is republican leaders felt they were being hurt so bad, they just had to find a way to bring this to an end. that's what they are trying to do now. >> john, you think this will accelerate over the weekend? >> reporter: i think you will see talks, intense talks through the weekend, if a deal is not struck diane, by monday or tuesday, we are looking like we could face default. the clock is running out. >> with a minute by minute, jonathan karl at the white house, thank you. even as we hear news about those negotiations, we are also hearing more stories about suffering inflicted by the

shutdown on american people. abc's senior national correspondent jim avila with an outrageous reality. >> reporter: meet maddy major, she is 8 years old and suffers from a rare form of leukemia, her battle for life threatened during the shutdown. >> it's the most devastating thing in the world to know that there could potentially be a cure for her, but because of a stalemate in the government, we can't research those options, it's mind blowing. >> reporter: maddie and 400 of the sickest americans can't get cutting edge experimental karat the national institutes of health, because the government shutdown prevents nih from accepting new patients. maddie's mom has a message for congress. >> spend a day with a family like me. and see if you still think that your agenda is appropriate for what we are dealing with. >> reporter: this is maddie. she is 8 years old. she's trying to get in a clinical trial.

we took this story to steve womack, he's on the house committee that oversees the nih budget and he voted for the shutdown. i wish you guys would realize a week's delay could mean her life. >> of course it can. everything that happens in washington is a process. >> reporter: a process that has now dragged into shutdown day 11, with hundreds of thousands of government workers still furloughed. social security workers in houston today are seeing nearly half of their pay cut but did get this letter from their boss asking creditors to be nice. i would appreciate any assistance in the postponement, temporary reduction or rescheduling of payments. in florida, a federal campground padlocked today. >> the american dream. >> reporter: campers set packing. >> they are acting like kids. >> reporter: week two of the shutdown ends, it's effects grow deeper and more widespread, from sick kids to closed parks and furloughed workers. diane. >> jim, so good to have you

to stay. >> this individual poses a significant public safety risk. one of the most significant breakdowns appears to be the failure of the canadian authorities to alert the united states. >> reporter: canadian police say they know where he is. but u.s. officials say the information hasn't been shared with them. and canada's process of getting a warrant could take months. leaving this dangerous sex offender free on the streets of the u.s. for now. neil karlinsky, abc news, seattle. >> and next tonight, we take you inside a drama on the high seas. you will remember the american captain and his crew held at gun point by pirates in waters near somalia. tonight the story is a new movie starring tom hanks. and abc's pierre thomas spoke to the real life captain about the secret that helped him survive. >> reporter: in the movie, tom hanks plays captain richard phillips as the quick thinking

hero who stood up to somali pirates. >> if you are going to shoot somebody, shoot me! >> reporter: when the pirates took control of his ship and demanded a ransom, he offered himself as hostage to keep his crew from being killed. he was held at gun point in a life boat for four days. >> four guys, knuckle heads with guns on up, nobody knows you're out here, i wasn't going to give into them. >> reporter: navy seals firing from a destroyer killed the pirates. phillips learned to handle crisis at sea trainin the maritime institutes of technology in maryland. the institute's $30 million training simulator recreates any port in the world, storms at sea and even pirate attacks. >> stand by for maneuvers. >> reporter: he took the helm to show trainees how to fight off pirates. >> they are coming alongside, they are about 300 yards off now. >> reporter: four years ago, basic tactics weren't enough to stop the pirates boarding the ship. some crew members are suing the

line saying phillips should have kept the ship further off the coast away from pirates. does it hurt you some of the crew members think that? >> that's the farthest i've been away from somalia. if you don't want to be with pirates you need another job. >> reporter: captain phillips will be back on the job on the high seas even after the movie credits roll. pierre thomas, abc news, maryland. >> and there was a harrowing story at a major zoo today. what happened, when that elephant turned on its long time trainer? and also, coming up tonight, the best of the friday index. who could forget the cute 2-year-old and her birthday message for her mom? we're back in two minutes. so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there are no branches? 24/7. i'm sorry, i'm just really reluctant to try new things. really? what's wrong with trying new things? look! mommy's new vacuum!
