away. >> after two weeks of the shutdown, 350,000 federal workers are still on furlough. food inspections and recalls are on hold. most national parks are still closed, but some states are using their own money to keep parks open. the grand canyon and the statue of liberty reopen this weekend and mt. rushmore will open later this morning. nancy cordes is following negotiations on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> good morning, norah and charlie. over the weekend talks between the white house and republicans essentially fell apart. so now everyone's best hope is that the democratic and republican leaders of the senate can work something out even though their relationship has been strained to say the least the past few months. as he left the capitol sunday evening, senate majority leader harry reid said he was growing more optimistic after speaking by phone with his republican

counterpart mitch mcconnell. >> our discussions were substantive and we'll continue those discussions. >> mcconnell was not as upbeat. in a statement he revealed an entirely different plan. he said her plan has the support of democrat and republican leaders. with republicans getting most of the blame for the shutdown, democrats decided over the weekend to make a few demands of their own, proposing that any plan to reopen the government rolled back some of those across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration. >> neither democrats nor republicans like the sequester and one of the strongest voices against it has been senator mccain correctly because of what it would do to defense. >> republicans have accused the democrats of changing the game at the 11th game. >> think they're one tick too cute as they see the house possibly in disarray, they now

are overreaching. >> and tensions over the shutdown are rising. tea party and veterans clashed with police sunday removing barricades from the world war ii memorial on the national mall and dumping them outside the white house. they were urged on by tea party favorites sarah palin and senator ted cruz whose plan to weaken obama care contributed to the shutdown. >> let me ask you a simple question. why is the federal government spending money to erect barricades to keep veterans out of this memorial? >> there is a lot of concern here on capitol hill this morning about how the markets are going to react to the fact that there still isn't a plan in place to raise the debt ceiling. not only does the senate have to craft that plan and vote on it but the house has to vote on itting too, and they've been anything but predictable the last few weeks, norah and charlie.

>> nancy, thank you. political director john dickerson is in washington this morning. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> have they moved the goalposts and make a deal on sequestration? move the goalposts? >> republicans certainly think so. on saturday mitch mcconnell went into a meeting with harry read with thoughts on how to reopen the government. reid said, wait a minute. what's at issue -- republicans thinks reid is trying to move the goalpost. reid says he's trying not to have the sequestration cuts kick in in january. he doesn't want government to reopen and have those sequestration cuts kick in. they hope democrats to negotiate the sequestration cuts so this is in part how long to keep the government open and once it's open how it takes place. >> how will they settle the deference? >> by changing the time period. in other words, keep the government open until january,

don't have the new sequestration cuts kick in. what democrats worry about is once the next cuts kick in, they're locked in and they won't be able to negotiate those out. it may be where to set the timing but as democrats are in the negotiation and being accused of moving the goalposts, the worry is about the way they play their hand. if in this last round it looks like democrats are being too greedy, that could put pressure on harry reid. >> now, the senate republican plan mitch mcconnell has endo e endors endorsed, the susan mcconnell plan, what does the house think about it. >> what minority leader mitch mcconnell had negotiated and thought was on the books in that saturday meeting was something that would open the government through march and that would also tinker a little with obama care by delaying the medical devices tax. that was a pretty small set of

demands from republicans in the house. paul ryan said that was basically total capitulation as we all rehn in the house. conservatives wanted to delay all of on care. so that's a very small set of demands. the question, though, for john boehner is whatever comes back over to him from the senate, what's he going do? is he not going to bring it up for a vote or is he going to have to basically be jammed, worry about not lifting the debt ceiling and bring whatever the senate sends him up for vote despite the grumbling from a lot of his conference. >> all right, john dickerson. we'll keep waiting and watching, thank you. >> the dow jones and s&p will open higher than when the shutdown began but that may not last for long. gigi stone at the new york stock exchange. gigi, what can we expect this morning? >> good morning, norah and charlie. right now stocks are indicating a lower opening. invests are discouraged over the fiscal standoff in washington

but keep in mind the markets did surge last week and investors are still not panicking. they expect a last-minute compromise might be reached. still the deadline on paying america's debt is the biggest threat to the economy right now. u.s. treasury bills are considered the safest in the world. some economists say a debt ceiling crisis could cause interest rates to double on new mortgages, credit cards, and car loans, charlie and norah. >> but, gigi, we had over the weekend not only the head of the imf but the head of the world bank coming in and saying this would be a global disaster. so why aren't the market reese acting to that? >> you know, it's interesting. they are saying it could be a global disaster but so far the markets have remained largely resilient here in the u.s. one reason is because the government shutdown is likely to prolong the federal reserve stimulus plan which means interest rates here in the u.s. will stay low for longer, helping boost the economy.

also investors believe the odds of a default actually happening are slim, but wall street analysts do tell me one thing is clear. this is a country that has always paid all of its bills on time and the effects of the u.s. debt default could be catastrophic to the global economy, h charlie and norah. >> gigi, thank you. in our next hour we'll talk with the ce of of blackrock. he'll tell us what washington wants from wall street. that's ahead. in austin, texas, flash flooding could hit historic levels today. police saved several drivers stranded from their cars. organizers canceled the last days of the music city festival. and rarn chers in south dakota are burying thousands of cattle. they were killed in a freak autumn blizzard. it dumped up to four feet of snow in the state last weekend and a political impasse means that the ranchers can't turn to

the federal government for help. manuel bojorquez is in stchlt onge, south dakota. manuel. >> it's being called one of the worst disasters in south dakota history. the herd were still in summer pastures and had not grown winter coats. south dakota's $7 billion livestock industry will be digging out for years to come. the numbers are astounding. tens of thousands of dead cattle are being collected from south dakota's western prairie. on october 3rd, an unusual snowstorm blanketed 100 miles stranding animals where they froze to death and many more could die in the months to come. >> as the snow came over the top, it literally started burying them. >> reporter: he lost over 200

cattle. >> the worst thing is we had two inches of rain followed with 3 feet of snow so not only was the ground wet, the cattle sunk into it. many of them drowned. >> reporter: others lost 80% to 90% of their herd. it's catastrophic. >> by losing the cows themselves, they've lost paychecks from years to come. >> reporter: the blizzard coming just days after 80 degree weather brought winds of 70 miles an hour and record snow fall, as much as 4 feet all the way to the wyoming border. drifts were so deep cattle were able to step over fence lines, walking as much as 12 miles before froze to death. >> you start out in shock, then numb. i don't know what stage we're at now. >> some 6,000 families have been impacted by the storm. its effects magnified because ranchers suffered through last year's devastating drought. >> some of the ranchers are not

going to make it. they're not going to survive this storm. >> reporter: traditionally the government would provide a financial cushion but they say help, if it comes, is months away. >> there's guys that ain't going to recover from this without some type of assistance or something. >> reporter: the farmers union says ranchers have lost this year's paycheck because they lost this year's cows but they also lost next year's paycheck because they lost the cows that were carrying next year's calves and that ripple effect will continue for years. charlie and norah? >> all right. manuel, thank you. in india, 17 sailors were rescued this morning. 23 people are now confirmed dead. the storm destroyed thousands of homes and millions of dollars worth of crops but the evacuation of nearly 1 million people is being credited with saving lives. it it is strongest storm to hit india in more than a decade.

disappearance. six years after madeleine mccann vanished from a portuguese resort, police say it's vitally important they speak to him. he's just one of several men they looking for after a new investigation revealed more than 40,000 pieces of evidence. >> primarily what we sought to do from the beginning is try to revert everything back to zero. try to take everything back to the beginning and then reanalyze, accepting nothing. >> madeleine was three years old when she disappeared and now would be 10. her parents believe she's still alive. >> when you should be happiest and she's not there, that's when it gets to you. madeleine's birthday that and the big family occasions. and you haven't got your

complete family. >> reporter: tonight's televised appeal will show a details reconstruction leading up to madeleine's disappearance. on the night of may 3rd they left their three children asleep in their room and joined their friends for dinner 50 yards away. when she went back to check on them at 10:00 p.m., madeleine was gone. the portuguese police later named the mccanns as expects but cleared them in 2008. someone had supposedly gone into the parent and taken the little girl away from their family. >> reporter: when it's shown on tv they'll make a live appeal from the studio. police posted composite skechs of several men they want to speak to will prompt somebody to come forward with new information. charlie, norah. >> thanks, holly. britain's "guardian" says four

panicking. they expect a last-minute gram will be reached. they're calling it one of the worst ever disasters in south dakota's history. police posted composite sketches of several men they want to speak to and hope it proms somebody to come forward with new information. 19 days in the woods. the extreme measures a 72-year-old man used to stay alive. >> he ate squirrels, some lizards, snakes. >> reporter: he has 90,000 employees and yet you say he's involved in every little detail. how so? >> you would almost call him steve jobsian because his johns are so high. >> nobody was going to take that away from me. >> the human will. >> the physicist harsh ly criticized the movie "gravity." he said, for example, there's no

way george clooney would spend that much time talking to a woman his own age. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" presented by benefiber. leaders of both parties in the senate are working on a deal to end the standoff. negotiation with the white house hit a snag yesterday. >> and that delay makes it more likely that congress will not meet thursday's deadline to raise the federal debt limit. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> good morning to you, all of you. well, everyone thought that we were close to a deal at the end of last week, but then over the weekend talks between the white house and house republicans stalled. so now everyone's last bench hope is senators can work something out before the deadline. senate majority leader harry reid said he was growing more optimistic after speaking by phone with his republican

counterpart mitch mcconnell. >> our discussions were substantive, and we'll continue those discussions. >> reporter: mcconnell was not as upbeat. in a statement he revealed a highly distinctive deal. he said susan collins' plan has the support of democrats and senators. >> democrats decided to make a new plan of their own suggesting that any of those roll back spending cuts known as sequestration. >> neither democrats or republicans like the see question station. >> i think the democrats are on the verge of being one tick too cute as they see the house possibly in disarray. they now are overreaching. >> reporter: there is concern on capitol hill over the fact that

it's monday and there's still no deal to raise the debt ceiling but others feel a big market drop might scare members into finally crafting a plan and passing it. >> nancy, thank you. many corporate leader says the standoff is bad for business. more than a dozen ceos have lobbying president obama. >> well, so how much money, just so we understand what blackrock is about doks you have under management? >> we manage probably $4 trillion. >> $4 trillion. >> yes. >> with a "t." >> it's not our money. it's all our clients' money. we're the largest manager of school teachers and policemen and firemen. i try to explain if we do a poor job for them, we're not doing our job. i don't try to emphasize the large number but the need to help with every individual. >> did you meet with the president? >> not recently, not this

weekend. >> can you tell me why it is that some people doubt how significant the failure to meet the deadline and a default by the government is? >> charlie, first of all, the narrative is all lochlk we are a principled nation. we built this principal on principals of standing by your world. we're a model of democracy. we triering to help other countries begin their journey toward democracy and we're showing that democracy is not working as well as it should be. and so just the narrative of not paying our bills is bad enough. it's like somebody going to a bank after having a car loan or mortgage loan and saying i'm another going to pay you. now do, you think the next time you're going to need a loan, that bang is going to give you that money?

and so we're a country that's very dependent. about 25% of our debt is dedeath penalty on foreign sales, and so china and japan are principally large owners. what i worry about is that narrative is going to harm us long term. >> many on capitol hill say they're going to wait to see what wall street does today to know whether they're going to act. >> that's the problem. i don't know if we're going to run out of money the 17th or 18th. they just put a target and with the government shut down for 14 days, the reality is there may be a little wiggle room. this narrative is -- if we default, it will be larger than lehman brothers. when they buy back debt -- they

call it diffusing. when we're doing some type of borrowing, sometimes it's collateralized by government. it's based on the backing of u.s. treasuries so it's not as obvious. in addition most banks' balance sheets -- >> isn't there a disadvantage? all the solutions we hear are short-term solutions. isn't there a disadvantage to talking about a short-term solution? >> i lobbied quite hard this weekend. i was in washington until saturday night. it suggests that a six-week solution is unacceptable in that, a, i don't think we'd have a resolution on,000 work this out. b, we're going into holiday season and everybody i know is going to defer their decisions. we have to understand. we know that individuals defer

their decision and they'll wait until this plays out. ceos will not invest in jobs and plant and equipment. they're going to hold back. here we are. we have a very, you know, unquestionably poor job economy and we're only going to make it worse. >> you know, three quarters of the economy is controlled by consumer confidence and sort of drn and i talked to somebody who owns real estate companies. he can see all the retailers that it's dipping right before this holidaying. people are worried. how will it affect their 401(k)s and ho will it affect their pension. >> and well they should. washington denotes a feeling of confidence and they're not showing that. >> if they had a deal, would it have blend no default? >> there's no question sequestration is having a huge impact right now. this is why i'm suggesting a longer term workout so maybe

it's a nine months type of workout. >> do we have time to argue over that right now? >> no, we don't have time. we should set the debt ceiling out nine months and work on these issues. >> thank you very much. you have some work to do. >> i do. three americans won this year's nobel prize for economics this morning. eugene fama and lars hansen, also robert schiller. >> over the weekend, the anonymous graffiti artist set up a staal. a vendor was selling signed pieces for, listen to this, 60 bucks. >> and he says it took only four hours.

hey, check it out. show me the cookie. >> sweet. #don't mind if i don't. pretty good. #i'm getting my cookie on. #i'm the real cookie monster. #. >> makes sense to me. they found a way to combine their love of snacks and twitter but that is really just the beginning. in our morning rounds, a diet rich in social media could help you lose weight. researchers at byu found that simply looking at pictures of food on instagram and pinterest could make it less appealing.

jeff larson and ryan elder join us at the table. i say when you see a picture, you want to run out and get it. you say what? >> think about it. if i show you a picture of a rich chocolatey cake, what's going on in your mind is going, this looks good. how is that possible? part of your brain is simulating eating it. part of you is thinking it tastes like chocolate. if you're looking at a lot of pictures of chocolate cake, so in the end you feel like you've eaten it. >> how did you do this study? how did cow scut it? >> it was based on the idea that you simulate. so on one condition they saw 60 pictures of salty images and on the other they saw salty images of sweet like dessert. >> what would they be? >> pretzels, popcorn, potato chips, things like that.

we didn't want to show them peanuts because we didn't want to ruin the study in that regard and then we had them eat some peanuts and we said how much do you enjoy eating these peanuts and we found there was a really significant drop-off if they had seen the salty images because as jeff mentioned they kind of satiated on this experience of sensing saltiness. >> how many pictures do you have to see before you satiate? >> that's what i was wondering? >> we show 20d pushes and 60 pictures. even in the 20-picture condition you started to see this little bit of drop-off. >> in order to lose weight, it's 20 pictures before lunchtime. >> it ain't going to work for me. >> are you suggesting it's going to be diet? >> i don't want to your claim or overstate anything. we don't want to show you but it's actually helps you to lose weight, but i could imagine if you're a person who has a particular weakness, let's say

you watch "the amazing race" and eats a tin of brownies every night -- >> i bet food advertisers are looking at you going, come on, bus they build their whole lives building pictures that make you want to go get it. >> they make you want to go get it, which is true, but the counterin tuive effect is you may not buy it like wyou would have before all the images. >> very fascinating. jeff larson and ryan elder. the assassination of jfk. the new answer being called the definitive answer of what happened that day in dallas. we'll explain. that's ahead on "cbs this morning."

welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up this half hour he's a scientific pioneer and he's only in high school. you first med jack andraka on "60 minutes." this morning guess where jack is? he's with us in our toyota green room with his mom jane. she'll tell us why even she was skeptical. we'll show you how they're coming together to get away from it all. that great story is ahead. ride now it's time to show you this morning's headlines.

"kennedy half century." we'll talk with the author in a moment, but first the new details half a century later. >> this is walter cronkite in our newsroom. there's been an attempt as perhaps you know now on the life of john f. kennedy. >> from the moment the shots rang out on dealey plaza, it was elusive. >> was he acting alone or was he a member of a conspiracy. >> the 888-page warren report issued in 1964 shows there's no evidence of lee harvey oswald planning or carrying out the assassination. dozens of documentaries and films, most notably oliver stone's 1991 'cadmy award-winning film "jfk."

but the strongest official information for security came in 1979 when they concluded that president kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. a key piece of evidence was an audio recording that the committee believed captured the sound of four shots fired. one came from a so-called grassy knoll. a patch of grass ahead of the president's limousine. this year political scientist larry sabato used state-of-the-art technology. he said they do not capture gunshots at all but a moster to cycle and the rattling of a microphone. he said analysis of the recordings which shown were of police radio transmissions were not from dealey plaza but from a location two miles away.

a new poll conducted as part o of the book found that 75% of americans still object that lee harvey oswald acted alone. you went back and looked at evidence and said there could not have been a second gunman on the grassy knoll. >> the report that was issued in 1979 that concluded there was a conspiracy was absolutely wrong. i think once people have a chance to read this book they'll see that we've blown it out of the water. so their evidence simply does not hold. does it mean that no one encouraged oswald or he had no compatriots working with him? i can't say that for sure because the warren commission was also deeply flawed. they made so many mistakes in their process, they didn't interview key witnesses that, charlie, ininterviewed 50 years

after the assassination and i was stunned to find out they weren't part of that city snow not with standing that you believe there was a single gunman and lee harvey oswald was the gunman. >> i believe lee harvey oswald was the gunman who shot both president ken deand governor conley. if anyone else participated beyond the picket fence or grassy knoll, they missed or never fired. >> will we ever know? >> we'll never know. if we can go 100 years into the future, guarantee you whatever replaces television, there'll be documentaries proposing new theories, that's because the warren commission did not go down the hot trails when we had the chance to interview the right people. they could have done it but ee sep chally they were lied to by the cia, president johnson didn't want a study, and so we didn't get one. it was on a political timetable.

>> is that why you think they were vigorous in not pursuing it? >> i think that's part of the reason. they were under a lot of pressure to produce and report quickly. it was such a flawed process. this is the murder of a young president. the youngest. the youngest to die. we need a thorough investigation and the american people would have waited and paid whatever was necessary to get it. >> we've known there were issues with the warren commission, right, and there wither many conspiracies that came out of that. what did you think that you found. you spent five years on this, you know, that would really surprise people. >> well, thing clearly the fact that we've blown apart the second government investigation. these are two flawed investigations. they both got it wrong for different reasons. so think that will surprise people. when you really get into the details, it is amazing how many pieces don't fit. just to cite one, right after the president was shot, some dallas policemen ran up the

grassy knoll and they encountered people who had secret service credentials. they let them go. they had their guns drawn. they let them go. you know what they found out since? there were no secret service agents, they were all with the motorcade. they went to parkland. who were these people. >> do you somehow think organized crime was kelkted to new orleans and they were connected to cuba? >> charlie, i can believe anything. the problem is where's the proof? you know, in the end you have to have proof. >> you also say yo cannot understand his legacy without really understanding the assassination. what do you want his legacy. your book also deals about the legacy of jfk. >> absolutely. we ought to focus on president kennedy's life and legacy. he has been the most influential modern ex-president. he has influenced all nine of his successors. they have used his words and

deeds to accomplish their own agenda and it's really impressive. >> is that because he died so young and so tragically? >> yes. i think that's part of it. it's the fact that we're distraught over the death and what might have been. would we have gone as deeply into vietnam if kennedy had lived? lots of bad things in the 60s -- >> you also say he's a marked man. if it hadn't been lee harvey oswald, it would have been someone else? >> i made the case that he probably would not have lived through his pren dency. >> how can you say that? >> because, charlie, the security was so thin. this was the thinnest of blue lines. john f. kennedy loved to mix with people. there would be crowds of hundreds of thousands and they would engulf him with virtually no security. it's amazing he lasted until november 22nd. >> that's a have interesting book. >> 600 pages. >> you cover a lot of ground. they you, professor, so much. >> thank you. >> last night on 60 minutes, i

with his mom. it is still one of the best reactions. i love that unbridled joy. you became interested because a close family friend died of pancreatic cancer. >> i went to google. what i found is that 85% of all these cancers are diagnosed when someone had a 2% chance of survival and the current test costs $800 at 30 years old and it misses 30%. >> why did you think that? >> i was a bit of an optimist. however i thought i could do it because the current test was so bad because teenagers were at this point of creativity to dream up ideas. >> jack, you make an interesting point. this is not just about intelligence because you think you're not the smartest kid in your class. >> yeah, because one thing is that now we have access to so much snofrgs you can be so, so

smart. you can be a genius and no so much knowledge but if you don't know how to use it or use it, you're as good as my smartphone. >> i think persistence is the story. jack was repeatedly told by scientists they weren't interested and they didn't think it was work and he per sited. >> he had to per sit because even his parents thought it was too much. you know, he was 14. i was like, you're not going to get a lab. you're 14. come up with something easier. but he was always very persistent and stubborn and really believed in his idea. >> why did you not give up all all o those rejections? >> it's more than persistence. >> what happened is that because of my close family friend but also 100 people die of pancreatic cancer every day. every day i'd go into the lab and think how am i going save a hundred lives today. >> you're not the first person to think aboutist.

i think steve jobs died from pancreatic cancer, didn't he? >> yeah. >> he had a great saying. you have to thing like a beginner. is that part of it, you think because all these smart scientists who spend a lifetime, they thought of it in an unoriginal way and you because you didn't know all that thought of it in an original way. >> i think what happened is you get encumbered by all this knowledge. >> you don't seek the obvious. >> and so looking at it in a different way, so maybe someone who doesn't know anything might say, well -- >> let me try sniet what about him as a kid because they think he's a whiz kid. are you thinking advice to guide him? >> yeah. you know, just from the beginning whenever he would ask questions i'd say let's figure out how to ask those questions so to teach him from an early age how to find the answers himself. >> he's still a typical kid. >> even though he's an amazing kid, he's still 16 and still

needs his mom and dad to help him out. >> if you want to know more about it, it's great thing about raising gifted children. thank you. and no men, no pets, no kids, and be nice. those are the rules for a group of women finding friendship and adventure in the great
