this is day 16 of the part shall government shutdown. if there's no deal reached today, the deadline will be reached at midnight. it raises the risk that the government will soon be unable to pay its debts. >> that deadline led to warning. the fitch credit rating agency says it may lower the government's aaa rating making it more expensive to borrow in the future. they hit another roadblock in the house yesterday. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> norah, good morning. it set congress back day when there isn't a day to spare. >> john boehner tried to do it. house conservatives revolted

complaining the bill didn't go far enough and boehner was forced to kill it. the two top senate leaders who had been watching from the sidelines all day immediately restarted their talks, releasing nearly identical statements expressing optimism that an agreement could be reached quickly. >> i know i speak for many of us. i'm working in good faith when i say we felt blindside by the news from the house, but this isn't the first time. >> the senate reopens and raises the debt ceiling for nearly four months but because of senate rules it can take days to pass even bipartisan bills and the treasury secretary has been urging congress for weeks to pass a bill raising the debt ceiling by tomorrow. >> the ominous sounds of default are being heard. >> speeding up the process would require approval from all 100 senators, and the two biggest advocates of defunding the

president's health care law, republicans ted cruz and mike lee have not said whether they will try to hold up the bill. senate leadership aides tell us both sides have been working all night, they're very close to finalizing it and getting it into lang but they're not there quiet. when they are, they'll present it so the earliest vote is looking like it could take place sometime this afternoon but they need to have a series of votes before it even goes over to the house, norah and charlie. >> thanks, nancy. in an interview with an affiliate of kcci, he said he is optimist optimistic. major garrett is at the white house. good morning, major. >> good morning, charlie. now, the president and everyone here at the white house remains optimistic but largely because

the alternative is too grichlt white house has said over and over again october 17th, tomorrow is the day when the government borrowing authority expires and the default begins. they warn that this would scare congressional republicans into bending the president's demand that they increase borrowing authority to avoid default with no strings attached. that hasn't happened yesterday. the house republicans remain paralyzed. the senate is the last best hope to prevent default. the president's aides have been negotiating behind the scenes with the leaders in the senate. at this hour the president has no last-minute maneuvers or deals to cut. he waits and hopes the house will follow suit perhaps by midnight tonight. so the president, everyone in the white house and the rest of the country wait to see what will happen. the president now knows his strategy in not any gauche yagt has brought much more risk than

he ever thought possible. >> the budget deal is bad news for wall street and everybody else. the dow jones industrial average fell 133 points yesterday, its first loss in a week. gigi stone is at the new york stock exchange. good morning, gigi. >> good morning, charlie and norah. if congress can't reach agreement, the u.s. could default on its debt and that could be armageddon for the economy. yesterday the dow drop 133 points. right now the futures are indicating a slightly higher open. and for the past few weeks investors haven't panicked. financial analysts have been telling me that's because they believe there's noah i congress would ever let the u.s. default on its debt because the shock to the financial isn't would be too debilitating. one analyst said the treasuries are like a glue that binds all the markets and it would lead to a catastrophic chain around the

world. there would be much higher interest rates on everything from mortgages to student loans. credit agency niche reviewing the credit rating for a possible downgrade, that is certainly not helping matters, charlie and norah. >> thank you. this morning moody's analytics says sit's already cost the economy $22 billion. if fitch does agree to lower its aaa rating, it wouldn't be the worst. john chambers is the chairman of sovereign rating committee at s&p. welcome. >> thank you, charlie. >> even to go so close if they make a deal has there been damage and secondly if they fail and go to default, what are the implications? >> well, charlie, there already is damage. we estimate that for every week of the government shutdown that cuts 0.3% of gdp from the fourth quarter output. if we go past the point where the government can't borrow

anymore, one of two things could happen. one is that you'd have to cut spending other than debt service by over a quarter of our current federal government spending. that would certainly put the u.s. economy in a recession. the other is that you could not pay your interest or your debt service, your bonds coming due. that would boo a default under our criteria. that would probably be an event that would be much worse than lehman. >> if congress does not vote by the end of today do you think a do downgrade will happen and how quickly. >> we'll have to see. our assumption is there will be a plan. that's why we rated aa-plus with a mere outlook. however, it lead us to conclude two years ago it wasn't appropriate to have a aaa rating on the u.s. government. >> worse than lehman brothers

and great recession by the failure of lehman brothers. >> it would be worse in my judgment and i think it's needless. >> because congressional and political leaders should be acting. >> we have a budget system that is unlike any other budget system that i'm familiar with. we have spending and revenue measures that have orange nalted from an original act in congress. now it's a question of funding them. the spending has already been approved, but now the elected officials are balking at funding that spending. >> all right. a sober warning this morning. john chambers, thank you. and if the debt battle wasn't going on right now, this story would be dominating the news. the rough start to obama care. it has been more than two weeks since healthcare.gov went live. people out there too. s jan crawford is on capitol hill. good morning.

>> reporter: good morning, norah. good morning, charlie. rough start is an understatement. we can't even find anyone who's enrolled. "the miami herald" is now calling them urban legends and now on capitol hill cbs news has learned that the house members and congress committee are launching an investigation into what went wrong. the president is now acknowledging the problems with healthca healthcare.gov are more serious than he first let on. >> the website has had way more glitches than i think are acceptable. >> reporter: it was a different president obama two weeks ago when he tried to compare the health care rollout to the launch of the new iphone. >> they found a glitch and so they fixed it. i don't remember anybody suggesting apple should stop accepting iphones or ipads.

>> reporter: even robert gibbs someone says someone should be fired. they're calling on kathleen sebelius to go. sebelius isn't talking at least not since her interview on "the daily show" last week went viral as she fumbled her way through it. >> how many have enrolled thus far? >> fully enrolled? i can't tell you because i don't know. >> reporter: the failures are well documented, the success stories are not. they refuse to release numbers on how many people have been able to enroll. jay carney for the first time managed to identify a few. a woman in illinois, a couple in mississippi and a family in utah. remember seven million people is the signup target by the end of march. for republicans it's look shooting fish in a barrel. >> $634 million, that's how much

it cost to develop obama care website. facebook operated on less. >> reporter: think about the backlash, the criticism, the complete failure this rollout would be getting if the republicans had been focusing on this instead of waging that shutdown fight. charlie and norah. >> thank you. and terrifies moments before a spirit airline jet flight 155 left dallas yesterday but 20 minutes after takeoff one of its two engines exploded. a passenger sent a text message to his wife reading, we're on fierks love you. >> this huge explosion goes, bam, and we saw the flames come up the side of the plane, which lit up the whole inside of the plane. it looks like the inside of the plane was on fire. of course, it was on the outside. the plane started shaking violently. after that the plane started filling up with smoke. >> this morning there are no reports of injuries. spirit said the flight made a,

speed. and as further evidence that there's really substantial discussion taking place here, the u.s. lead negotiatinger wendy sherman met privately for an hour yesterday with the deputy iranian negotiator. now, the reason she met with the deputy is the lead negotiator for iran who's also the foreign minister has had had terrible back pain. in fact, he had to flightfly here -- there's a photograph of him -- flat on his back because he couldn't get out and he's been out of commission for a lot of these talks. we do expect some kind of agreement this evening. it's probably going to be a framework for the next round of discussions which is in itself a positive sign. we used to hear the iranians used to be the ones that want the sanctions lifted. we shouldn't forget americans are very keen. for example, iran is going to

suv. our senior correspondent john miller is a former deputy police commissioner. good morning. >> good morning, charlie and norah. 28-year-old rodriguez was recently assigned to an elite undercover unit in internal affai affairs. when we met rodriguez at the district attorney's office, he was the one in the hot seat. >> can you tell us what happened today? >> undercover police officer matt rodriguez and his lawyer emerged with a meeting with his prosecutors after more than an hour of discussions in the motorcycle assault against alexian lien and his wife and son. >> how difficult has it been? >> it's been difficult but i take it one day at a time.

>> he came forward to say he was riding with the group in the assault. just last week the first undercover city detective who came forward was charged with assault, riot and mischief after investigators say he lied about his role in the attack on the suv. the lawyer for officer rodriguez says his client's story checks out. >> what you told them is you weren't there for any 'sault. >> john wrks all due respect, i'm going to stop you right there. >> his attorney said he had fall on the the rear of the pack of motorcycles, that he didn't see the confrontation where the suv was surrounded by motorcycles and drove over two of them to escape. rodriguez reportedly told investigators he took a different exit off the highway to visit his grandfather in a nursing home so he was never even on the street where the final assault took place. >> police officer matthew

rodriguez voluntarily presented himself to the manhattan district attorney's office to answer any and all questions and concerns they had regarding his alleged involvement of the incident of september 29th. it appears that the district attorney's office will discover as we have known if there day one that there are no acts of criminality on behalf of matthew rodriguez. >> how did you feel to sit down with the investigators today and to be able to get your story out? >> i was just glad to be given the opportunity to actually say my piece. >> is it appropriate for police officers to be part of some motorcycle gang? >> well, number one, this is not a motorcycle gang. front line soldiers was a small group of law enforcement individuals and former veterans nchl ypd itself has a motorcycle club. so he was part of an organization of other law enforcement individuals that he thought was involved in

charitable organizations and charitable things. >> rodriguez has not been suspended or put on modified assignment. that's assigned to desk duty without a badge or gun but prosecutors have questions for him regarding what contact he had with other officers before, during, and after the assault, and the police department in their internal investigation will want to know why he waited as long as he did to come forward when obviously the investigation was highly publicized. >> so he has a lot more questions to answer. >> he has some, but as it stands noushlgs it doesn't like he's facing the criminal charges the others were. >> do you still expect some other officers might come forward? >> there will be. >> really? >> we're aware of a third officer who was part of a former undercover. here's what's going on. normally they would pull all these cops in and question them and get down to business but because prosecutors are considering criminal charges

they said to the nypd, let's slow this down and bring them in and interview them with the district attorney's office before we get do any departmental regulations. >> we believe the total number of cops or involved -- >> i still think, norah, we're talking five or six tops. >> with all the attention this has received. i mean how embarrassing for the nypd is it? >> obviously it's very embarrassing and i think the extension of that is what does the department do about creating a regulation about what kind of clubs or activities you can be a member of off duty. this certainly didn't end up looking good. this club these guys were in was a group of seven people. one was a wounded warrior and the others fell in the group of police officers. >> what do you do if you see something being recommitted. >> which is already in force, but, you're right, charlie, they'll put it on paper.

>> thank you. two girls are facing charges over bullying that caused a girl to kill herself. anna werner has more. >> good morning, charlie and norah. they believe as many as 15 girls were involved in a relentless campaign of harassment. police say they've arrested these two girls now because of what one of them posted online over the weekend. the sheriff released photos of the two girls, one 14 yours old and the second just 12. both are charmed with grag vated stalking, a third degree felony. in your eyes what makes these two girls' acts criminal. >> because they terrorized her. they did things like you should die, you should drink bleach and die. you see a pattern of harassment, a pattern of intimidation. and that's what they did. they intimidated this girl. they harassed her.

she had no peace. >> there was a trigger hoar for you. >> reporter: sheriff judd says they were also troubled with something the girl put on social media on saturday. >> she made a comment to, yeah, i pulleyed rebecca and, yeah, she's dead, but i don't give a blank. i melt with the detectives and their supervisors yesterday afternoon and said, okay, she needs to go to jail. we need to latest her. >> reporter: police say both parents refused to cooperate. >> her birthday is saturday and i think this is huge birthday present for her. >> reporter: last december she cut her wrists then last month she climbed an abandoned tow never a concrete plant and jumped to her death. court papers alleged they began harassing her after he started dating one of their boyfriends.

the younger girl and sedwick were once close friend bus the older girl convinced the younger girl tore turn on sedwick and even getting her to beat up. >> it makes me question where did you learn it from. kids learn it from somewhere. >> reporter: i think a lot of parents are asking right now how can this happen. >> it shouldn't happen and it only can happen when parents don't parent their children. you need to know who their friends are. you need to know if they're bullying people at school. >> reporter: and last night we spoke with the parents of the 12-year-old gill in the case. she expressed remorse in the court and her father says he feels horrible about what happen and his daughter will be dealing with the consequences. they say they will be dealing with the police.

about? everyone seems to think it's about delaying obama care. we're arguing fairness. you said on your show several times it's the law of the land. our question for the past three weeks why is it not evenly across all the citizens. the president has given 1,100 special waivers to his friends. all we be asking for the last two weeks the same exemptions be applied to it. >> senator john mccain says the republican party has lost the fight on this one. is it over? >> i don't think so. and i hope he doesn't feel that way because he's going to be the one in the senate trying to find a compromise, so i hope he doesn't give up. if they pass something and i understand they should be, they were very close last night, it will pass the house in relative

shourd order but i'm disappointed to hear that one of my pay parties has given up. >> what are your constituents saying to you about the position that you're taking. the government is not going to default. it's a shame they have to say that. all the president has to say is we're not going to default. it's nothing to do with the 14th amendment. he has the authority under the existing law to use the money we take in every single day to use for interest payments. why he hasn't said, that i don't know. >> congressman with all due respect i know that's the impression of many. we had on larry black. do you know him? yeah. >> he controls $4 trillion in

assets, the largest holder of teach teachers' pensions, firefighters and he said this nair active is harming americans. can you respect that opinion? >> sure. but i can also respect moody's that came out and said in no uncertain terms no one's going to default. there's several different die los angeles. you can be hyperbolic to get on television but there are ways to handle the situation. >> do you expect senator cruz and oneover senator to support and not prevent a bill passed? >> it depends. my guess is senator cruz would not object to it. if it's an outrageous

capitulation, i don't know. if the senate is able to pass something on a bipartisan basis, my guess is that's the end of the discussion. >> congressman mick mulvaney, thank you. president obama brought a hero of the war in afghanistan to the white house. davids martin reports, swenson's service to his kun may may not be over yet. this video brought it all back to swenson when he finally saw it for first time nearly four years after the battle. >> i did not know that was taken. >> it is unique in the annals of

the medal of honor. >> we can bear witness to the small fraction of actions ourselves. >> it shows them helping a badly wounded soldier. before it takes off swenson leans in and gives him a kiss. >> did you say anything to him? >> it's difficult to say over the din of a helicopter but imsure i got him. >> did you see him after that day? >> i did not. the battle came with enormous flaws and it's painful to deal with. he quit the army. >> sounds fair to say you left the army disillusioned. >> confused? but now the first army officer to receive the medal of honor to veto nachl has been asked to

come back to active duty. for "cbs this morning," david martin. >> the last part of the video is so tender. he didn't even remember. he looked so tender. my heart broke. >> you would hope that that kind of courage and that kind of service would be remember ed as the country's going through con see kwengs tall actions. >> i know we went through people denying if we'll be able to pay our debts. what is true is 4 million veterans will not receive their paychecks unless they get the work done in congress. we have spoken to veterans. that is outrageous. that's not part of the issue.
