8:04 am
moved around by the police and officials here if they're worried about specific spots. and, of course, what don dahler talked about in the past hour, these metal posts called bollards are located all around times square. if you look around, they encircle all the areas where you'd find tourists. obviously you have hundreds of thousands of tourists who flock to times square every day. these are designed so if you drive through london, you cannot get through these. the nypd is not aware of any specific terror threat but they're deploying the heavily counterterrorism unit known as hercules throughout the city. they'll be guarding the consulate in midtown and the brit igs building to the united nations. they made a clair sign giving officers the go-ahead to open fire on any movin

8:08 am
it is coming in many respects from conservatives who want to get rid of all the mandates they say is in the affordable care act. one requires insurance coverage for things like emergency room visits, maternity care, mentality health services and prescription drugs but moderatings look at those things and say, hey, wait a minute. they're not confident that if those mandates aren't in legislation, the insurance companies will provide that kind of coverage and therefore you're getting pullback from some moderates even as they're unsatisfied. that's why the vote count is rising even as the white house intensifies pressure to get a vote on the yes side. >> major garrett, thanks. >> many visitors to vatican city trying to catch a glimpse of the pope but a 3-year-old american gerl visiting from georgia stole a kiss from the pope and his skull cap. seth doane's in rome where he spoke about hru
