. >> reporter: in a word, sanjay, no. and as you just mentioned, the house of representatives is now delaying its vote on speaker boehner's bill. it's uncertain whether that bill can even get through the house of representatives. the bill was losing the support of conservative republicans before the congressional budget office says it doesn't cut as much as promised. so that news doesn't help. what's happening now is democrats are waiting. they're just waiting to see what happens with the republicans' bill before making their own move in the senate. but the big picture here is that neither the republicans' bill in the house nor the democrats' bill in the senate seems to have the votes to get through both houses of congress so we're back at stalemate. >> but what is it -- i don't know if you can answer, this but what is it going to take to spur some sort of action here do you think? >> reporter: well, that is the big question. but talking to a lot of sources there are two big ideas, two big hopes. first is there's a hope t

>> reporter: maybe a little bit of both, sanjay. in the beginning a lot of people say, okay, perhaps they were overwhelmed, that they weren't properly prepared as the aiea suggested for such a disaster and there was so much going on. but that pass has certainly gone by at this point. now what a lot of people in the public are feeling is that it does appear that they're either stalling or not being able to face reality. for example, i mean if you look at the timeline that you just laid out and then you look at what's ahead, the fact that there is this cold shutdown, that the government at tepco says will happen by the end of the year, most outside experts say that's probably not going to happen. >> if you break it down and look at all the various issues surrounding this, michael, what concerns you the most going forward at this point? >> well, sanjay, actually there are two things that trouble me. the first, of course, we've talked about this before is the snail's pace of progress. we've seen over the course of the last few weeks tha

sanjay gupta tonight sitting in for anderson. tonight we're going to bring you a view of casey anthony you've never seen before. 360 has obtained video of casey when she was a little girl. five years old. it's a birthday caylee would never reach. as casey's defense wraps up, we'll wrap up the dramatic final day of testimony and dig deeper on two questions everybody seems to have been asking, would she testify? and then why didn't she? we begin, though, keeping them honest with new and troubling developments in a disaster both anderson and i saw up close. the nuclear catastrophe in fukushima japan. today's headline. the government recommending more evacuations. hard to believe, 113 additional households in four districts in the city of date. that's far beyond the mandatory exclusion zone set up for 20 kilometers around the crippled reactors. these are newly designated hot spots. separately, according to a citizens group and a french ngo, trace amounts of radio isotopes have now been found elsewhere in children as far as 24 miles b

sanjay gupta in tonight for anderson cooper. we begin with washington's trillion dollar showdown over the debt. two weeks to go until the treasury says it will be out of money to pay the bills there were two major developments. one has been called a possible break through. the other is being attacked by some as a stunt. >> on this vote the yeas are 234 and the nays are 190. the bill has passed. without objection and motion reconsiders laying on the table. >> that's the house tonight passing h.r. 2560, better known as cut, cap and balance. now it's a republican and tea party sponsored measure calling for massive spending cuts, a spending cap, and congress passing a balanced budget amendment. only then would the debt limit be allowed to go up, ending the current crisis. the measure was passed with just five democratic votes. senate democrats say they'll defeat it. if somehow they fail, president obama says he'll veto it. in other words, it's doa which is why a lot of democrats are calling it a stunt and a waste of time. earlier to

>> reporter: well, there was a lot of process, sanjay. and a lot of discussion and still no break through is the bottom line. we are less than two days away from the president's self-imposed july 22nd deadline for a deal. and still there is no deal. and now some on capitol hill, some of even the president's allies are saying this is now in their view time to cut bait and stop going for the big deficit reductions package they've been talk about and find the easiest path forward to get the debt ceiling raised and worry about deficit reductions at another time. >> it seem like there was some enthusiasm and progress yesterday. but if the two sides are even further dug in, even further apart so to speak, why is the president still pushing for something big? >> reporter: well, there's the overt politics of it. he seems to be nominally winning. the republicans and public polls are doing less well and are getting more blame than the president in part because he's going for something big. but there's also just the simple fact that they have to fig

sanjay, we get a temporary high from buying an expensive pair of shoes, for example.g a hit if you're a drug addict. why do we get a rush from spending money? >> there's a couple of things that are happening, that are interesting. one is, this might be surprising, but it's more in some ways the anticipation of actually buying something. so the idea that you, as was said in your piece, of fantasizing about those nice new shoes or a new gadget -- >> it's the journey, not the destinati destination? >> in some ways, it is. and even getting the shoes or whatever it may be may seem like a little bit of a letdown, because the reward system in your brain changes. and there is a reward system in your brain. it's a little bit of a diffuse area, but let me show you. we're looking at the inside of the brain. there's a few structures along the midline. it's a really important part of your brain when it comes to the reward. more transmitters fire there, and you feel good. but that's a short-term thing. it's hard to think of happiness as temporary, but it is. emotion as a chemical i

sanjay gupta is with us. now, doctor, tell us, first, stress-induced migraines, what are we talking about >>? >> when you talk about migraines, you are usually talking about migraine headaches, and it's a bunch of neurological things associated with it, people can be nauseated and can have vomiting and sensitivity to light, but it's usually the headache that characterizes these types of things. they occur typically on one side of the head which is a way to characterize or differentiate it from other headaches. stress-induced, john, as you might triggers for the headaches and stress can be one of the common ones. people that have stress, lack of sleep associated with that, that can bring on one of the higrain headaches. a lot of people will have some sort of aura so to speak, they'll have some idea that the headache is going to come on. they may get an hour or so notice, but if it comes on and not treated, it could be painful and last four hours to three days, it can be a pretty big deal, john. >> could it inc

sanjay gupta. doctor, number one, the main reasons, why this change, and how significant is it?i mean, they're looking at a lot of existing studies out there and that's where the change is coming from, oit pretty significant. the interesting thing is that, you know, if you look across the board, about 40,000 women a year will develop breast cancer in their 40s. that's the first thing to think about. 20% of those women will die. again, talking about women in their 40s. they also noted as part of reviewing these studies that a cancer tends to grow faster in a woman earlier in life, so between -- in her 40s the cancer will grow a little bit faster which is why they felt they needed to screen a little bit more quickly. that's sort of bottom line. they know that earlier screening, 98% of women will survive five years if their cancer is found early. and they added it all up and said we should increase screenings annually starting at age 40. >> these are today's recommendations, we've got them up on the screen so everyone can see them. it's the number of cases and the cancer grows fast
