This building for the debt ceiling. House republicans are now saying they will support a plan to ebbing tend the governments borrowing authority, this if president obama agrees to talks on reopening the government. The two sides are going to discuss the plan during a meeting at the white house this afternoon. Wall street seems to like what it is hearing. Checking the big board, is dow is now up 237 points a t this hour, that being down slightly from earlier today. Here is press secretary. The implication that you keep the Nuclear Weapon in your back pocket to threaten default in the near term. Doesnt make a lot of sense to us. Having said that, we will see what is House Republicans propose. We will see what they are able to pass. And consider it then. The president said the other day, that in the hypothetical, he would be willing to do this because he thinks that we need to avoided default. But he is not he has been very clear. He will not pay ransome in exchange for the republicans in the house doing their job. In exchange pay ransom to the tea party to do its job. Which is to fund government. That same argument apply during a short Term Extension of the debt ceiling when the president agrees to go with negotiations. Again, you keep adding things that we dont we havent seen is a bill yet. We havent seen what the speaker is going to put forward, we dont know what he can pass. He thinks that there out to be negotiations. And what the other leader said is there out to be negotiations over the budget priorities. The president has been saying that all year long. The opportunity to appoint to match the Senate Confer ows so they could try to reconcile the two. Thats what they are doing by keeping the government shut down. Toe do continued harm to the american economy. I cant hear a rational about why that is acceptable or okay, and i dont think you did either. Must the condition of extending the debt ceiling also include reopening the government . Again, we you are asking me hypotheticals we said very clearly. Not a hypothetical. Im just asking you we said all along, turn on the lites open the government, they should raise the debt ceiling. They should do both. So if they i think the president said the other day, that if they were to send them a clean debt ceiling extension, no partisan Strings Attached he would sign it. But we dont know thats what we will get. If they send him if the house passes as they could right now, the bill that passes the senate to reopen the government and funding levels republicans said, and celebrated. He would sign it. What we havent heard is any we got into this mess, because Tea Party Republicans were insisting that they could use the shut down and the threat of default to defensed obamacare, or delay obamacare, basically prevent millions of americans from getting access to affordable insurance. People who are paying the price are the people that suffer when the government is shut down, and suffer mightily if republicans who seem to think that default is a game gets their way. We have up here these are the elected representatives sent to washington to fulfill their responsibilities as members of congress. Representative ted yoho, just yesterday, said someone needs to convince me why we need to raise the debt ceiling. Warren buffet, know as thing or two about the Financial Markets and the economy said it should be like a nuclear bomb basically two horrible to use. The head of pimco says default would be a tragedy for america. On the other hand, republican senator says default is manageable for some time. The experts say default would lead to 14 unemployment and the worst recession since world war ii. Crossing the debt ceiling would be catastrophic. Senator rack paul says if you dont raise the debt ceiling we balance the budget. Ben bernanke says default would be very costly to our economy. The debt ceiling is a very dangerous thin to play with. So these are the voices that have been driving you are listening to White House Press secretary discussing the latest proposal by republicans that might end the debt ceiling crisis perhaps deal or no deal when it comes to the debt crisis. That clock ticking now, the october 17th deadline looming large. Return now to mike who is at the white house, mike, you were listening in, are we listening to the talk of a break through or more bricksman ship. I have to tell you, im a little bit surprised. While with the leading the cav yet they want to see the details. Clearly leading the door open to signing a short debt ceiling increased six week weeks is what is n the table. Without opening the government first, yes, they want the government shut down to end. But clearly a lot of wiggle room here on both sides some developments today. No question about it. Something of a surprise. Considering the rhetoric that we have heard from the president and democrats over the course of this crisis. Over the course of the last several weeks. The ransom, the hostage, deflating the shut down and the debt ceiling and now this possibility, it appears at this point, and there is a lot of am big utety in what the white house has been saying. But it eight peers this point there is room to negotiate if theres wiggle room, then there is space to negotiate and House Republicans as a matter of fact, are due at the white house. The leadership and Key Committee to meet with the president today, it lasted an hour 23456, he put forward the six week extension of the debt limit bringing it to november 22nd. Again, unclear what kind of writers will be on this, but it looks like it is relatively clean. Lets listen to john baner at that meeting. I dont want to put anything on the table or take anything off the table. Boehnep. Listen, i think the president wants deal with the pressing problems just as much as we do, but in order to deal waythese, we have to sit down and have a conversation that leads to a negotiation that begins to solve these problems for the future and for frankly our kids and our grandkids. Again, question will see how this plays out. The white house at this moment, you heard him walking a very fine line. The distinction wasnt clear, to be honest, over the last several days. I have been the markets and it appears to be one of those heart monitors. Then there was word of a deal, it rose all the way to 225 pounds now it is up 227, but it is also dropping as jakes News Conference began. Same thing happened this morning. Right. And i said it before, if you try to predict what congress is going to do, eventually it will make fools of all of us. There is room for optimism, you mentioned jack lew very early in the morning his mission to knock down all those default deniers and say a default exceeding the debt ceiling would not be that big a deal, the government still has revenues coming in they could pay creditors lets listen to a little bit of what he had to say. The ice should not be put in a position of making perilous decisions. There is no way of knowing the damage such as an approach would have on our economy so again, we have to get reaction on the hill. They have been marching in lock step with the president , we will see how they feel about 24, as well as House Republicans rank and file, a lot of mixed feelings about the proposal. Mike at the white house, thank you very much. And as the government shut down and the back and forth continues over the debt ceiling christene the chief of the i. M. F. , the International Monetary fund had this to say earlier. I want to say this. Is there would be very very negative consequences for the u. S. Economy and there would be very negative consequences outside of the u. S. Economy. If that matter was not resolved, we are likely to see volatility, uncertainty, and consequences on the rest of the world. Also today, the Obama Administration now freezing its military aid to egypt. The issue the violent crack down after president morsy was ousted in july. The aid will be sus spented until egypt moves to restore democracy. We are joined by a correspondent that cannot be named for security issues. Well, the public statements find both the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and the cabinet are that they say the decision by the American Government is strange. And what they call a vital time while egypt is quote at war with terrorism. They say they will still apply the road map they are following which will modify the sconety institution and lead to elections and then on to president ial elections. And they say they will continue fighting terrorism. Thats what they are saying publicly. I think we can say confidently, privately, they are seething about this decision. It is worth making the point, that the freezing of the aid is not the entire military budget that we are talking about here. That is 1. 5 billion. What is being frozen is 560 million in aid. And they are not freezing the kind of help that can be given to the authorities in so far as we seem to be having difficulty with our phone connection out of egypt. Once again, we do not name our correspondents for reasons of security. Saudi arabia saying it would reimburse egypt for any money that are lost. Libyas Prime Minister is speaking out. Hours after he was abopportunitied. Taking him from his home earlier this morning. The libyan Prime Minister released less than 24 hours after his abduction from the tripoli hotel. He appealed for calm. We hope this matter will be handles with wisdom and rationality. There are many things that need dealing with. Confusion remains. The Prime Minister was set free after two militia brigades threatened to use force against his captors. But what were the motives behind the kidnapping . Last saturday u. S. Led raid to capture an al quaida suspect, angered many libyans, the accused government of pleading with washington by having advance knowledge, though this was denied. Initial reports suggested he had been taken over bribery allegations. He is thought to have issued checks to military guards who had been block an oil refinery. A blued release on the Prime Ministers Facebook Page is said to show the moment of abduction. Up to 150 gunman are said to have layed siege. He offered no resistence as he was led away, leading to speculation that an arrest warrant has been issued. People came with papers they are from the committee of revolutionaries who are rebels, they came in, and detained the Prime Minister without any damage or injury. However, the Attorney Generals Office told al jazeera that no arrests warrants had been issues nor had there been an order detain him. What has emerged is the picture of a weak central government, and multiple armed militias operating for their ends. And the kidnapping at the highest level of government where no official appears to be safe. Weather miking news at this hour. Dave warren has all the details. Sure does. That a picture of a roof top here. You can see the low clouds wind, and periods of rain. So that is what we are dealing with now. Not just parts of the northeast, because this storm is just off the coast, we are getting this northeast wind to the north of it. So each high tide gets higher and higher, coastal flooding and advisories and a few warnings but also the rain is coming down. Wind gusts are very high that wind gusting over 30 miles per hour, and thats from the northeast. Each high tide gets higher, and it is continuing to do so, coastal flood warnings here in virginia, delaware, and southern new jersey. Coastal flooding advisories where the flooding not expected to be as severe, maybe just minor, but certainly marked for identification rate expected with this next high tide cycle that will be this afternoon and this evening. With rain pushing north, but here is where things start to change. It is coming to the north, becoming heavy thursday, now friday afternoon, it starts to move to the south, that is as the storm pulls away, and takes the rain with it, again, thats not until friday and saturday. So a few more days of wind and rain in the forecast, but then we dry out. Thank you very much. There are 2 million cuban americans living in miami, coming up next on al jazeera, introduce you to a family looking back on its homeland but with two very different perspectives. Of the start of cubasry first war for independent. The year was 1868, and the war was against spain. A desire that still lives on today for many cuban americans and their families. But they often find themselves on opposite sides of their fence. A devied defined by attitude and age. Last year more than 46,000 cubans left for good, many of them finding new homes in places like south florida. Withdrawn. 9 million cubans live in the u. S. , 59 of them being born in cuba, but more than half arrived after 1990, and for many of those that just got here, the revolution now a distance memory. As a result, their relationship with cuba is far different from those that came after fidel castro took power. One family about a generational divide. In this family the generations often collide when it comes to the topic of u. S. Policy in cuba. They are exiles who fled the island as children, and werent ready to go back. I grew up hating the regime, hating communism, it destroyed my family. For the daughters it was a place they heard about and wanting to experience. They are a part of us, and we are a part of them. And we need to focus on bridging the gap. Thats why this year, both daughters went to cuba, and convinced their father to come along. For the first time in 43 years javier breathed the air of his homeland. Paying a lot to go back, a lot of that money is going right to the government. They want to see where i grew up. In many respects they are representative of the generational shift in the Cuban American Community, that the Cuban Research institute has been tracking for more than 20 years. Gone are the days when a majority of cuban americans supported the isolationism, the bedrock of american policy. Recent polls by the institute shows theres almost an even split when it comes to the empargo and reestablishing. I consider it as a training tool. It is a pawn in a negotiation. I have not seen yet where the cuban regime has taken a position to accept the termination of the embar go and giving some benefit. Its likely cubans who will most of the cuban americans who arrived since 1994, are not u. S. Citizens and therefore dont have the right to vote. And to some extent, i think the current political belief in the Cuban American Community is still largely controlled by the early cuban exiles who tend to be more conservative. They say they have moved pass the policy debate. They have been volunteering for organization thats been helping connect cubans to the rest of the world through cell phones and digital media. My sister and i as well as my generation have a lot more hope and are more exciting about the possibility for cuba. Hoping that perhaps one day she and other exiles will turn to a free cuba. Just this in, 28 years in prison now for former detroit mayor. He was sentenced today in federal court after being convicted on more than two dozen charges ranging from extortion to tax evasion. Prosecutors saying he create add play to pay system for those who choose to do business in the city of detroit. American filing for new jobless claims. Thats much more than economist thought. The increase reflects the government shut down as private contracts that work with the government are cutting back on their employees. It is also cooks from a backlog of job claims in california. And one more positive sign of the housing recovery, a drop in foreclosures. Reporting the number of homes going into foreclosure, is now at a seven year low. And it seems a personal computers are no longer as popular as they used to be. The latest Sales Numbers suggesting that students are choosing tablets over p. C. S, shipments worldwide plunging in the all important back to School Shopping season. Analysts say p. C. S are also losing ground to smart phones and e readers. And twitter, may have led the cat out of bag about a stock and when it will begin trading, a Research Firm says the social media giant made a mistake on its paperwork to go public. It accidentally indicates the shares would hit the market on november 15th. But twitter hasnt officially announced when that i. P. O. Will happen.
