[ laughter ] >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota, let's go places. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning to you, charlie. >> we begin in washington where leaders are closer to ever to ending the standoff on capitol

hill. more talked expected today. the 15th day of the government shutdown and two days before the deadline to increase the federal debt limit. >> the senate leaders says they're close to a deal, but many republicans in the house are worried about giving up too much. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah. they are putting the finishing touches on that. it could reopen today. it would raise the debt ceiling for about four months. it's being crafted by senate leaders who took over after talk between house republicans and the white house fell apart. gridlock finally gave way monday as the senate's democratic leader and his republican counterpart rushed to reach a deal. >> we've made tremendous progress. we are not there yet. but tremendous progress. >> reporter: the plan they're discussing would fund the government through mid-january. and raise the debt ceiling until mid-february. a new committee of bipartisan negotiators would look for ways to cut the deficit between now and mid-december.

and a new anti-fraud provision would be added to the president's health care law to verify the incomes of those who apply for insurance subsidies. the framework seemed to satisfy senate democrats. >> it's positive. it's extremely positive. >> reporter: and senate republicans. >> now, we're finally talking about the right thing. >> reporter: house republicans could be harder to win over. they wanted major changes to obama care and had proposed a very different plan with a shorter increase in the debt ceiling to the president's. >> it's like a hot potato because our deal, he didn't want to deal with. >> reporter: still, they may not have any other options, if they want to raise the debt ceiling before the deadline. virginia republican frank wolfe. >> it is time to show some humility. it is time to govern. let's get the vast back open ensure we don't default on our debt and then commit ourselves to curbing unsustainable entitlement spending. >> so what will the house do if

the senate passes this bill? well, many republicans we've spoken to in the house said they're waiting to see what the final plan looks like. others are already talking about amending it. but the one person we haven't heard from is house speaker john boehner. he will be getting feedback from all the house republicans at a meeting at 9:00 a.m. eastern before he announces what he's going to do. norah and charlie. >> nancy, thank you. that's just part of the deal. the other part, president obama, his meeting with congressional leaders is on hold this morning. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. >> good morning, norah and charlie. if his deal holds and as nancy indicated it's a big if. president obama would take it and claim victory because it would reopen the government and lift the default at least for a few months and largely on the president's terms. the president remains largely on the sidelines. the white house has deferred all the final negotiations to senate majority leader harry reid. if this deal passes the senate

and survives a vote in the house, it will buy washington more time but not much. more budget talk, coming. and the real question is can washington break seemingly ends cycle of one budget crisis after another. leon panetta said here in washington that congress 'republicans share a lot of blame. avenue half the blame of president obama's refusal to negotiate new ways to talk about spending, tax, and entitlement like medicare. now this fragile deal and if made by washington, some more time. but the central question is, will president obama bring a new leadership style? because these budget talks will come back in a few months, and another crisis will follow after that. one former cabinet secretary says the president has to change his approach. charlie and norah. >> major, thank you. the budget compromise first took place over the weekend after a meeting of senate republicans and democrats. senator klobuchar was one in that meeting. good morning.

>> thank you, charlie. great to be on. >> first of all, many saying senate win and lead to final accord. >> are you surprised? >> no i'm not. >> as i said earlier. >> the senator susan collins played a major role in bringing this group together, six democrats, six republican, half women. i think we played a constructive role in setting up ideas and bringing it to leadership on both sides. i don't think it's also a surprise that the senate is able to work out agreements and find some common drowned. we've been doing it with the farm bill, the immigration bill. i'm very hopeful the house will follow suit. >> but the question is, did the democrats and the president get most of what they wanted, so that you will not be able to sell it to john boehner who will be able to sell it to his caucus? >> well, the more you think of it, this is an agreement that doesn't contain a lot of partisan pills.

or really anything except keeping the government open. give a short time frame important to both republicans and we really want to have a budget to negotiate a larger budget deal so we don't lurch from financial crisis to financial crisis and make sure we're paying our bills for the next few months while we're making the negotiations. i think in that way, everyone knows the job isn't done yet, but the real job is ahead of us. >> senator, let me press down that because already house republicans have said this is the senate surrender caucus. what have you given to help get these house republicans on board? >> well, i think, first of all, the deal, i'm not going to negotiate it right here, the outlines aren't there. but i think what has happened here is that we made very clear, we're keeping the budget control act in place. but giving an opportunity to negotiate a longer term budget. we have a senate passed budget and a house passed budget. they've always said they want to

work it out in regular order. we can do that and figure out a way to get smarter cuts in place rather than the hammer of sequestration. there are cuts, that's true. but there's also other things we can do, reform, revenues to really put this country in a better place to compete globally. >> what about be recessions on obama care? anything for republicans? >> well, again, the details aren't out on this yet. i think you've seen changes in the affordable care act out over time. the 1099. i'd like to see a major change with the medical device act, get that repealed. there are things we can do. but i think the president's point is now is not the time to do it when the government's shut down. >> let me ask you a final question about the obama care website where people can sign up. $400 million was spent on this site. and as you know, it is plagued with problems. some people suggested people should be fired. what's your take? >> well my take is first looking at my state where we haven't had

quite those problems. we've had over 10,000 people get accounts over 300 small businesses. and there are clearly some issues. and everyone has said that. i think the most important thing for the american people is the rates are pretty good. there are some great bargains there that you around able to get if you're a small business or individual on the regular market. i think in the end, once those glitches are fixed, what really matters is what's the product. what you can buy. what's the competition. that's what matters in the american marketplace. >> senator klobuchar, good to see you. accused terrorist abu anas al libi will face a judge in new york. he's accused of taking part in the bombings in africa. u.s. special forces captured him ten days ago. our senior correspondent john miller say former deputy director of national intelligence. john, good morning. >> good morning. >> you've got new reporting this

morning. what do we know about al libi, he was captured in libya, on this boat, what have we learned? >> taking to the "san antonio." >> the "u.s.s. san antonio" is the name of the boat. >> he's got hepatitis and moved more quickly into this. part of the haig, after the detention group does, they may tricks up into admitting things that they already thing we know. this was a matter of days. his information about al qaeda in libya might have had some value. his information about al qaeda's central command is probably fairly dated by now. >> so other than the fact that this guy might have been responsible for something and that they very much wanted to get him, do they really believe he has anything that he can give them with respect to what's happening today? >> i think that's an exercise they have to go through.

and i don't think they have enough time, charlie, to know that now because usually that's something you learn at the end of that process. most of these guys always hold back what they think is important. so that's an open question. where they're going with this case is actually very interesting. because you say, well, the embassy bombings which killed 225 people including a dozen americans back in 1998. you know, that's an old case, bringing him to trial for that, finding witnesses. but they have a smoking gun witness, an individual named ali mohammed. not much is discussed about sally mohammed. but he's a story in himself. a former captain in the egyptian army, part of the unit that assassinated sad dat. came to the united states. got the rank of sergeant. was assigned the jfk special warfare school at ft. bragg. he taught u.s. special forces. the same people who captured al libi. arabic language skills.

islamic culture. all of that time, he was a double agent for al qaeda. the thing that makes him critical is back in 1993 through 1997, al libi was part of the planning process with ali mohammed to blow up the embassies. that's a direct witness who could say i talked to him, we did the bombings. >> i assume they like the idea that the united states is saying we will track you down no matter long it's been? >> and they've done that in this case. they've litgy gone to the four corners of the globe. east africa, south africa, libya, egypt. you name it. two days of nuclear talks between iran and the united states and five other world powers begin this morning in geneva. these are the first negotiations since iran electeded a new president in june. rouhani is taking a moderate tone than his predecessor. not everyone is convinced with his approach. >> what has brought this to pass, what has got rouhani to

the negotiating table are the existing sanctions. and we've got to have the leverage to increase that to make certain what they understand were serious about having them in their nuclear weapons program. >> in geneva where the talks are taking place, elizabeth palmer. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. well, the negotiators all arrived on time this morning. the iranian team is being led by their own foreign minister mrmr. mr. zarise and wendy sherman. we learned that they stood up with a power point presentation that laid out the compromises on the nuclear program. shortly thereafter, the meeting broke up so all parties will be studying that very carefully. you mentioned that rouhani has changed iran's tune, really. that's unmistakable. not only with that landmark phone call with president obama, but also, he's been pushing back

at the hawks at home. he's told the revolutionary guard corps, the very anti-western military force. to back off, to stay out of the politics. he's been backed by that by iran's supreme leader. so this is an administration that wants to deal. however, it comes down to how badly do they want those sanctions lifted. and what are they willing to give? we should know sometime in the next 48 hours. charlie and norah. >> thank you, liz. at least they're talking. a powerful earthquake rocked the philippines. at least 85 people are dead. more than 100 aftershocks were record but no tsunami was generated. seth doane is covering did. >> reporter: the 7.2 magnitude quake rocked the central philippines early this morning. it sent shock waves through the region that brought down buildings, cracked roads and left millions of people scrambling to safety. officials say the earthquake struck about 20 miles deep on

bohol island, a popular tourist destination with a population in excess of 1 million people. but the majority of deaths occurred in nearby cebu province. an island inhabited by more than 2.6 million people. many schools and businesses were closed for a muslim holiday when the quake hit. soldiers were called in to respond stot tragedy. and despite how frequently earthquakes occurred in this part of the pacific known as the rim of fire, the outcomes remain unpredictable. a weaker magnitude 6.9 tremblor in the philippines just last year killed nearly 100 people. for "cbs this morning." seth doane, beijing. los angeles international airport is open this morning, but facing a disturbing mystery. for the second time in 24 hours, a dry ice bomb went off at one of the terminals. no one was hurt.

guns in britain is 35 people a year. that's the number of americans that get killed every day from guns. but it's worse than that. in america, another 50 will die today from suicide today from guns. after that, 100,000 americans a year get hit by gunfire. now, you can look at places like germany or australia, wherever you bring in tough, sensible gun safety control measures you have less deaths. that's what i'm about. i want fewer americans to be killed by guns. >> you were talking about banning americans. we have the second amendment mere in heck. more than 100 million gun owners in this country. it is is a right that many americans enjoy and use safely. >> i have no problem in a country with so many guns in circulation with a family exercising their first amendment right to defend their families with a handgun at home. nobody can tell me that any civilian in america needs a

it is 8:00 a.m. welcome back to "cbs this morning." as congress tries to reach a budget deal, china wants america to take a step back in global finance. we'll ask mellody hobson if the chinese have that kind of leverage. the new wave of technology runs from robots to self-driving cars. we'll look at the science of making stuff. and president william taft is remembered for being a political heavyweight, newly released papers reveal his role as the original diet celebrity. but first here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. they are putting the finishing touches on that deal. it would reopen the government right away and raise the debt ceiling for about four months. >> the president remains largely on the sidelines. the white house has deferred all the final negotiations to senate majority leader harry reid. >> everyone knows the job isn't done yet but the real job is

ahead of zblups already house republicans has said this is the senate surrender caucus. what you have given to help get the house republicans on board. carnival says this is the first time a child has drowned aboard one of its ships. >> it is reasonable to put a life guard around the pool. >> for the second time in 24 hours a dry ice bomb went off at one of the terminals. >> nobody can tell me that any civilian in america needs a military-style assault weapon or a magazine which has 30 to 100 bullets as we saw at aurora or sandy hook. >> you were engineered for that movement. yet, we engineer ourselves the opposite. >> we know first of all, many are saying the senate win and lead. >> are you surprised? >> no, i'm not. >> this morning's "eye opener" at 8:00 is presented by benefiber. i'm charlie rose with gayle

king and norah o'donnell. senate negotiators today will try to finish working out a deal. they hope to end the partial government shutdown after 15 days but they as face a thursday deadline to raise the federal debt ceiling. >> now, senate leaders say they are optimistic this morning, but the plan still faces some obstacles. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning to you. >> good morning, gayle. senators tell us it looks like it will be finished today. it will be a lot to pass the senate but the real wildcard, of course, is the house. remember, the reason that we are in a shutdown is because house republicans tried to try government funding to defunding or delaying the president's health care law. and the only obama care provision in this new deal is a small anti-fraud measure, so it doesn't come anywhere close to what house republicans wanted. already, there are some few party republicans telling us

they cannot vote for this deal. there are others who say they want to try to amend it in some way. but there are other house republicans say hey, look, this may be the best that we're going to get. we wanted budget negotiations, this deal calls for those negotiations. so the question now is are there enough of those kinds of house republicans for speaker boehner to feel comfortable, calling this bill up for a vote in the house, knowing that he's going to have to pass it with some democratic votes. we'll get some clues to his thinks after a meeting he's holding with all house republicans in about an hour. norah, charlie, gayle. china holds more of united states debt than anyone. china news government agency said on sthaund other countries should, quote, start considering building a de-americanized world. that commentary suggests the dollar should no longer be the number one international currency.

mellody hobson, a cbs news contributor and analyst joins us now. mellody, good morning. >> good morning. >> question is, one, do the chinese have a likelihood of being able to achieve this over the next several years? >> and secondly, what would it mean for us if they did? >> i don't think it's unlikely. the rhetoric makes sense right now. they're pouncing while the u.s. looks weak on the global stage. they've been very clear about the fact they don't like the americanization, the economic system around the globe. they'd like to seat internationalization of that system. i spent last week in china. it was interesting, someone told me it would be the century of the pacific. the 20th century was the century of the atlantic. and they see the sun continuing to rise in the east and continuing to set in the west. but i think, you know, right now, what they're asking for would be extraordinarily hard to accomplish. so i don't see any consequences for us at this moment. longer term, different issue. >> so, what would happen,

mellody, if the u.s. dollar is not the not the main reserve currency? what would that mean? >> first of all, i can't see what would replace it. no currency has the scale or ease of trading as the u.s. dollar. so there's nothing out there. they talked about a basket of currencies that the u.s. dollar would be one of many, the japanese yen, the yuan, the euro. when you really think about it, that is hard to accomplish. let's say let's go to the euro. it's been somewhat watered post the crisis. they say why won't china's currency excel. well, they're not necessarily the bastions of currency when it comes to finance. remember, their currency doesn't float with the rest of the currency so there's not a lot of options out out there. >> let me ask you about the story on the front page of "the wall street journal" about uneasy investors sell billions of dollars in treasuries.

isn't this one of the most significant consequence of this budget showdown that's happening in washington? >> this is definitely a bad sign. and the reason i say that, in the worst of financial crisis, i mean the darkest days, u.s. treasuries were actually rallying because people are saying the scaife place to go is the united states. so in this environment right now, to see people sell the treasury really does show that we are playing russian roulette. our government has to understand, we've got to fix this. yet at some point, we're going to shoot the gun and the bullet is going to kill us. we've got to stop this red irerratic. >> mellody hobson, good to see you. the supreme court hears arguments in affirmative action case that race cannot abe factor in college tuitions. the result could be felt nationwide. jan crawford is is he supreme court. what would this mean? >> voters in michigan and other

states across the country passed this ban after the supreme court actually refused to outlaw all racial preferences. so now what this would mean is that the court allows these kinds of bans in michigan and other states, you could see affirmative action across the country going out the door. >> reporter: in the battle over affirmative action michigan is front and center. >> whoo! >> reporter: after the supreme court's refused in 2003 to end affirmative action program at the university of michigan law school voters approved proposition 2, amending the state constitution to prohibit admissions programs that give preference shall treatment or discriminate against people based on their race. michigan attorney general bill schuette said voters want to take it out of there. >> it's an expression in michigan we think it's fundamentally wrong to treat people differently based on the race and color of their skin. >> reporter: michigan is not

alone, five other states have similar bans outlawing the use of affirmative action. rigging the political process against minorities. the federal appeals court agreed and struck down proposal 2, saying it made it too hard for minorities to change policies that affect them. >> what it has done is allowed the majority to take away the policy that the university has for hearing everybody's voice. so essentially the will of the majority has silenced the minority. >> reporter: rosie ceballo and her husband matthew countryman are professors at the university of michigan. they say it has cut it by a third and had a negative affect in the classroom. >> as a grurngs they feel less able to participate in the give and take of the institution. >> reporter: now, opponents of affirmative action say the way to increase minority enrollment is to approve education and opportunities for students

before they get to college. supporters say, look, that doesn't work. if the court upholds the michigan ban, they say it is certain that other states across the country will pass similar laws. boston red sox fans have a new poster boy this morning. a police officer became an internet sensation after david ortiz hit a grand slam against the detroit tigers in game two of the alcs. >> hard hit into right, back at the wall! tie game! >> as detroit outfielder torii hunter went head over feet, officer horgan went hands overhead. there he is. spoke by phone in uniform and everything. spoke with phone in the boston station wbzz. >> the reaction to the grand slam it was awesome. it's humbling, it's overwhelming, it's fantastic. >> that's so great to see, he's on duty, he's like i'm a red sox fan, so a lot of people going around and doing this.
