health research institute, which was founded in 1996. so they start with the tiny divisions and we were able to persuade the director, the president who has become the first president of the national health institute. the need to establish biostatistics. he ought into that and persuaded the board to establish this division. that division now becomes part of the institute of health scientists and plays a crucial role in helping scientists advance in the field. >>hen y first came back to taiwan, you are the vice president of the national health research institute very subsequently in 2010, you became the president of national yang- ming university. what has been the changes you are able to notice that has taken place in taiwan's research environment? have people been becoming more independent or subject oriented and has the segmentation become more specific or has there been more international collaboration in many areas? i think the biomedical situation , i have two the government has been quite supportive in terms of financial support. allowing us to pursue several international programs, that is a good inc. have. in the meantime, i believe the gap in terms of research polity betw

social services that help new mothers and children have been suspended and research at the national health institute has been halted the republicans have been trying to pass bills to fund some of these programs piece by piece but democrats are saying it's all or nothing including the affordable care act at the heart of this deadlock at the capitol well as of now there is no clear end in sight and with each day that passes more economic uncertainty in washington is wall party not so little financial analysis i'm joined by mark rubenstein from investment finance company much of pall mall can you give me an idea as to how all of this is affecting the u.s. economy specifically of course the overall it's negative the shutdown the shades of growth from the economy on the average where there's to me that it could shave bald . ten basis points off to growth every week. but again it's not such a kick out of the market standpoint would be is alleged. if it's lost. all that to raise their country's debts or civil areas of the u.s. economy particularly vulnerable that involved. there are there's forces. the mos

doug briggey, and from mexico city, director of environmental health for the national institute of public health of mexico. welcome all of you, and andrew, we'll start with you. you live in hong kong. there is so much focus on harbin and the residents there with the pollution. yes, i just came back from other cities that are deeply enshrouded in smog and many areas of china are affected by the same area pollution problem. the thing that china has now compressed over a century of industrialization and urba urbanization until a few decades, and now with all of the pollution. secondly, the rise of the middle class and everybody wants a car, and rising explosion of car ownership. there are more cars in china than in america. and thirdly china relies still on coal. coal accounts for 95% of energy demand, and all of this is highly pol polluting. and it has been combined with the weather conditions so you have a situation where the whole city is now being shutdown. it's a very serious challenge to the sustainability of china's economic bold. >> andrew, how do citizens react? we hear about school

government will not be there in the senate. >> the fastest way to open up the national institute of health would be to take up the clean senate passed bill and send it to the president tonight that's how you help the national institute of health. >> we have the public and we have i think an overwhelming majority of members of congress who want to support and want to have the opportunity for a full funding of the federal government of the full federal government no cherry picking don't pick your favorites because you may have one favorite and i will have a different 1s that how we're running the government now. >> members were greeted by a lone protester. >> once the government does shut down it's a lot harder to get out of it than it is to get into it -- so i'm concerned. i'm not sure where this is going. >> until the speaker decides to listen to the whole house and allow the whole house to vote it's hard to find a way out of this situation. >> congressman tried to get legislation that would end the shut down would fail with all republicans opposing. that leaves the stalemate right where i

i listened as senator durbin talked about the fact that the national institutes of health is not open for business. well, the good news is that republicans and democrats both agree that we should reopen the national institutes of health. in fact, it's my understanding that the house of representatives will pass a bill perhaps as early as today and send it over here to the united states senate, and i hope that senator reid, unlike over the last few days, where he has killed every reasonable offer by the house of representatives, that he will reconsider and he will not kill that funding for the national institutes of health during this partial government shutdown. so there's some other areas where i think we could work together. senator reid knew that republicans were going to come to the floor and try to make sure that our uniformed military continued to get their full pay on time during this impasse in congress. and like the good politician he is, he actually beat us to the punch. he got down here first. he made the same offer. and the good news is there was bipartisan support for fun

my understanding is within the budget for the -- appropriation for the national institute of health there is something is that's called the h.h.s. path, that is 2% to 3% of the moneys appropriated for the national institutes of health actually come back to the department of health and human services and used whatever purposes the secretary of the department of health and human services sees fit. am i correct about that? >> you are. it's actually 2 1/2%, the administration wants to increase to 3.2%. what our bill would do is put it at 1%. but the effective spending level after that is about $2.8 billion. this is a level spending proposal for n.i.h. >> but is my reading of the language in your legislation mean that that money which is now sha shakedown that occurs at n.i.h. by h.h.s. will that continue to occur or will we put a stop to that with this language? >> with this language we put a stop to it. we are trying to put a stop to it, i'll say that, if we can get it through the senate. it is something that we'll probably have a debate about because we don't know why the administration alw

individual funding bills, one funding the national park service, a second funding the district of columbia, and a third funding the national institutes of health. >> we are trying to find the things that we can agree on in common where there's a majority vote in both houses. certainly pediatric medical research, medical research for clinical trials, is something given the circumstances that i think we ought to get done, harry reid ought to take up today. >> a message from the man stream republican colleagues. if you hope to end the republican shutdown, get rid of the tea party direction. work with us. help us reopen the government, we can start negotiations today. >> harry reid making it clear they're not going to consider seriously the piecemeal legislation approved in the house of representatives. while members of the house and senate debate, the president was in nearby maryland talking about health care and the shutdown. >> if the speaker of the house, john boehner, simply let the bill get on the floor for an up or down vote, every congressman could vote their conscience, the shutdown would end today. the only thing that is keeping the gove

they have wonderful names, yes, like the national institutes of health, like the national institutes of standards that help set the standards that enable the private sector to be able to develop the products that they can sell around the world. we're the home to the nuclear regulatory agency, we're the home to the consumer product safety commission that looks at a variety of things from children's toys to the safety of our mattresses to make sure they're not flammable. i could listen those agencies -- the census, the weather service, the fishery service that helps keep our seafood industry in operation. so, mr. president, i have a lot of federal employees, and they are asking me, what are they doing? well, what i'm telling them is that the other side -- one faction in one party in one house ohouse of government is prohibiting really a reopening of our government because of their failure to take up the senate resolution, the senate continued funding resolution, which would reopen government for six weeks while we work out our fiscal problems. now, their solution is to do this piecemea

some clinical trials run through the national institutes of health are postponed indefinitely. about 200 people register for the clinical trials every week. about 30 or children. participants will continue to be treated but newly accepted patients are left and waiting. about 75% of the employees at the national institutes of health are on furlough. >>> well, the cleanup in colorado after last month's devastating floods being impacted. the governor of colorado announced the state will step in to pay the national guard members helping with flood relief. fema was supposed to cover most of the cost. >> weather wise, another one of those sunny days that's way above average. 86 in perry hall and in the city and glen burnie, 85. maybe not technically an indian summer but it's an extended summer. winds are out of the west at 5 to 10. it's been breezy. an interesting weather maker. all eyes on what will potentially become karen. we'll talk about how it could impact our weather. in the meantime employ a plea the 80s. we're back with more. >>> more than a dozen people are homeless cast pa

it's bad enough with all the sequestration that has cut, for example, the national institutes of health this year $1.6 billion. and add to that the government shutdown there. at ad to that the second year of sequestration will be another $2 billion for the national institutes of health. this premier search that we have in america for disease, there's never been anything like it in the world. the library of congress, never been anyplace like it in the world. the great library in egypt was -- didn't compare to the library of congress. but there has been nothing ever in the history of the world like the national institutes of health. and we are mindlessly going forward and cutting the scientists by billions of dollars. we need to reopen the whole government, not in some piecemeal fashion that further demonstrates to the world that we're unable to find real solutions. open the whole government so we can get back to work. allow the government to do its duty by our military families and by every american family. mr. president, quickly, i've said it before, in july of this year the speaker of

essential that we restore funding to the presequester levels for the national science foundation and the national institutes of health. now, we see our colleagues, well-meaning, i know that, want to reduce the size of government, they want to reduce funding for science on the national science foundation, for the national institutes of health, and they think there's no consequences. well, there are consequences. and the consequences are going to be that we see less science in this country, we see more science in other countries. so, we need to work together to find a solution. yes, we are absolutely willing to negotiate, just don't hold a gun to our head. sorry. don't hold us hostage. don't make this extortion. come to us with reasonable ideas. we will sit down with you any time, anyplace, and if you want to demand that we eliminate the medical device tax, you know, we'll even be willing to talk to that. but after we get the government functioning, after we pay our obligations. then we can talk about things that we want. like funding for the national science foundation, funding for the national institutes of health. t

the national institutes of health recently uncovered that all glucosamine and chondroitin, it's not the same. as much as 90 percent of these ingredients come from china and there's significant problems with counterfeiting, contamination, low-quality ingredients, skimping on ingredients, and even using low and unproven dosages. this is an example of a troubled industry that needs to be completely reformed. supple, on the other hand, has no ingredients from china, and we use only the most high quality, best ingredient sources available. we don't use any of these unethical and deceptive business practices. just listen to these real supple users who have learned that there's nothing more powerful than what's in supple. >> i've had back pain on and off since i was probably in my mid 20's, and since i've been taking supple i haven't had to deal with a back injury. some of the other supplements had like glucosamine and chondroitin. some of the basic ones that are out there but, nothing really stood out. nothing really stood out until i started taking supple. >> this is my bad hip. the left. th

the examples i brought to the floor and others have too from the national institutes of of health are people turned down for clinical trials at the national institutes of health including 30 children, most of them cancer victims. and so when i raise that issue and others did, senator cruz decided to put the nih on his bucket list of agencies he was willing to save. well, you shouldn't stop there. he ought to the ultimely open up the government because there are so many agencies critically important to our country that are closed down today for no earth a reason. this morning, director clapper spoke about the intelligence agencies and here's what he said before the judiciary committee. each day goes by, the impact and jeopardy to the safety and security of this country will increase. >> you're listening to senator durbin. before him senate majority leader harry reid talking about a conversation he had with house speaker boehner. he sent him a letter, said he had a conversation with him within the hour or so talking about the need for a conference and for some negotiations. and all thos

dollars pay for most of it. >> about 50% of our laboratory-based research is coming from the national institute of healthhe clinical standpoint, all of our clinical trials are funded by the national institute of health. >> reporter: at the clinic where new developments in boosting the immune system are tested on human volunteers, one trial has already been put on hold. they can't schedule a required on-site visit by a federal regulator. >> a lot of our parents have been through the convention therapies and their only real next treatment would be through a clinical trial. >> reporter: no other country gets more research agencies get more than this one. >> the unknowns are very difficult, so if it was going to be done this week, then, oh, that was a nice little drama in our lives. but longer than that it does start to have an impact. >> meanwhile there was tremendous frustration over the political fight. >> it is ironic that the reason why all of this is happening is because people are battling about people's access to health care. >> while they are already beginning to feel the effects of the shutdown, th

it is bad enough with all the sequestration that has cut the national institutes for health 1.6 billion dollars this year, and add to that the government shutdown. added to that the second-year us -- a sequestration, another $2 billion from the national institutes of health. this search we have in america disease, there has never been anything like it in the world. the library of congress, never anywhere like it in the world. ,he great library in egypt maybe comparable, but there has never been anything like the national institutes of health. we are going mindlessly forward and catching -- and cutting by billions of dollars. we need to reopen the whole government, not in some piecemeal fashion that further demonstrates to the world we are unable to find real solutions. "government so we can get back to work. i love the government to do its duty by our military families and every american family. mr. president, quickly, i said it before -- in july of this year, the speaker of the house of representatives and i sat down in his office. i was there. my chief of staff at the -- was there. th

the house passed measures that would fund national parks, national institutes of health, and the national but the white house and the senate democrats say it is all or nothing. meanwhile, nearly 800,000 workers across the country are furloughed. among them are some of the nation's intelligence analysts. james clapper says that is putting the country at risk. >> this seriously damages our ability to protect the safety and security of this nation and its citizens. >> reporter: but a report by the weekly standard points out there are more than two million federal employees in the u.s. that means more than 60% are deemed essential and still working, including 86% of homeland security. >> for most people not in direct proximity with the federal government and aren't planning to interact with a federal facility that has shut down, it is mostly business as usual. more than two-thirds of the federal workforce is at business as usual, classify as essential services. >> reporter: charlene israel, cbn news.

shutdown, the republican- controlled house approved legislation to reopen the nation's parks and the national institutes of health. democrats criticized the move, saying it is a piecemeal approach falling short of what's really needed. in new york, ainsley earhardt, fox news. americans aren't buying as many cars as they used to. automakers sold just over a million vehicles last month, that's down four-point-two percent from the same time last year. general motors is still on top, despite an 11 percent drop in sales. japan's big automakers... toyota, honda and nissan all saw a drop in sales in september compared to last year. a negative analyst report and a fiery crash of one of its vehicles sends automaker tesla's stocks falling. an auto website posted photographs from a reader showing a fully electric tesla model s on fire near seattle. tesla stocks then dropped six percent. the automaker issued a statement saying the car hit a large metallic object in the road igniting a fire in the car's battery pack. starbucks debuts a new kind of gift card.. for the blind. a braille giftcard will now be available at all star

so they came and established the national institute of health in the government. in 1937 they added the national institute of cancer. and in 1938 they built the first building up in bethesda, building six. until the second world war they discovered, worked on various things, and the war game, and they spent an enormous amount of effort trying to figure out the health problems of this country. people don't realize, 43% of the people who were inducted -- brought forward to be inducted into the army were rejected because they were unfit physically. the national institutes of health went to work on that. there were a whole variety of issues, diet, teeth, siffluss, all kinds of things that were not being done in this society and they did the initial research on that. now, in 1946 after the war, they decided we've got to expand this thing and they began creating new i.n.s. -- new institutes of health. one was arthritis and metabolic disease. that's where we worked on diabetes. and allergy which went on to deal with aids. in 1970 there were 15 institutes of health. today

on monday, mckenna and her dad, justin, arrived here at the national institutes of health in bethesdamaryland, so mckenna could start taking an experimental drug that might shrink the tumors. but with the government shut down including most of the nih, the family was told there was a chance mckenna might not get the medicine. >> i hope it doesn't make me or anybody else who have an immediate impact and some of the things may have longer-term impact, the fda as well, you and i report on food disease outbreaks, what are you hearing about the food supply investigators? >> well, those investigators, many of them have been furloughed, so the fda has really had to curtail their produce inspection program, and they're the ones who inspect produce before it's allowed to go on to grocery store shelves, so they can't be there in full and they also can't do their laboratory kinds of work in full, so all sorts of things, things we don't even really think about, just can't happen. >> you know, it's, again, such a great piece and a great reminder, i think, that there are real lives behind all of th

for -- nutrition, for health and -- for the -- national institutes of health, for the national parks service, for memorials, there are a whole range of things going over. >> it's about 7% of the budget, and you can't do it, open it up. you're picking and choosing agencies. >> i'm with john boehner. why don't you surrender to us and we'll be happy? if i were a democrat, i would love that solution. i'm sorry. your turn. >> i think there's just this -- with all this bickering is resulting in nothing but pain and suffering, and a lack of certain for markets, so, look, i'm tired of the bickering. when we come back, we have a former speaker of the house. i am going to ask all three of you how we get out of this mess and get to a real deal. ♪ [ male announcer ] let's go places. but let's be ready. ♪ let's do our homework. ♪ let's look out for each other. let's look both ways before crossing. ♪ let's remember what's important. let's be optimistic. but just in case -- let's be ready. toyota. let's go places, safely. but just in case -- let's be ready. >>> welcome back to "crossfire." we are h

i listened as senator durbin talked about the fact that the national institute of health is not open for business. the good news is that republicans and accredits both agree that we should reopen the national institute of health. it is managing the house of representatives will pass a bill as early as today and send it over here to the net state senate. my hope that senator reed, unlike over the map -- my hope is that senator reed will reconsider and will not kill that funding for the national institute of health during this partial government shutdown. there are other areas where i think we could work together. like theee good politician he is, he actually beat us to the punch. he got down here first and made the same offer. the good news is there was bipartisan support for funding our troops on a timely basis in full during this impasse. surreal been a experience in so many ways. my friends on the other side of the aisle have been making very strange arguments. very strange arguments. the arguments they are making is that president obama's health care law, the affordable care act is

is it the furloughed workers at national institutes of health who process the grants that fund so much of our nation's health research? just which americans do the house republicans intend to keep as hawrnling hostages to hostag? it makes gross judgments as to who will be ran system and who will remain a hostage, what agencieagencyies get ran systemh remain hostaged. i don't think we can ran system some hostages while the rest remain captive. we're not the united states of the n.s.a. or the united states of the national park services. that's why the attempt of the house republicans to pick off one group of americans at a time is going to fail. then i heard one republican over here tai say the other day that our call -- the democratic call -- to open the entire government was, and i quote, "cynical." what a remarkable statement. here's what i call cynical. shutting down government cancer trials for young patients, head start classrooms for students, benefits for the families of our troops who have fallen in combat, shutting down all of that and hundreds of other things, and then offerin

national parks and museums, veterans' programs, d.c. government operations, the national institutes of health and the national guard. while that list is growing, there's quite a lot they didn't mention there. for example, as many as 19,000 children in 11 states at risk of losing access to head start. protesters at the capitol tried to draw attention to that cause. similarly, they didn't mention nutrition benefits for roughly 9 million pregnant women and new mothers now on hold. but rnc chair reince priebus did arrive with urgent word that the republican national committee will pay to keep the world war ii memorial open for a movement month. >> i have come here to announce that the republican national committee has put aside enough money to hire five security personnel, full-time, to keep the world war ii memorial open. >> he notably did not announce that he will pay for children with cancer to get access to clinical trials that they're now being denied. but i guess mr. priebus prefers war memorials to living children. let's get right to our panel in washington. political strategist angela wry, and in new york, kryst

the shutdown means that the national institutes of health is not awarding any new funds or making payments on recently awarded grants. the mayo clinic receives 40% of its research funding from n.i.h. grants. and, by the way, this is one of the many reasons we're going to have to address the sequester. this sequester has hit vital n.i.h. funding really hard, though this is an agency that some people seem not to have noticed until the shutdown. speaking of the effects of the shutdown compounding the damage from the sequester, tribal schools are being hit even harder because they get a substantial portion of their funding from the federal government in what is called impact aid. impact aid is federal money that goes to school districts where federal property or federal activity significantly reduce the local tax base, the biggest recipients are schools on military bases and on indian reservations. i have 11 tribes in minnesota, and some of them get about a third of their school funding from the federal government. i'm on the indian affairs committee, and i can tell you that sequestration has
