New at 6 30, police in the south bay have a request from the community to help fight crime. And has a controversial teacher evaluation tool been vindicated . Why a nationwide program says it may have been redeemed. Im sam brock. The smoke had cleared in washington, but the effects of the debt showdown are still being fell. So says the president of the united states. Coming up next, we fact check his claim that our debt payments are now more expensive than they were before. That and much more coming up next. For weeks millions of americans waited on a Government Shutdown, a possible default. Many people took furloughs, lost their paychecks and struggled to get by. But the reason is for what exactly . President obama today addressed the country. There was no economic rationale for all of this. Over the past four years, our economy has been growing. Our businesses have been creating jobs. And our deficits have been cut in half. In his speech, the president made several claims including the one he just heard about our countrys deficit and the fallout from the last few weeks. In tonights reality check nbcs sam brock puts those claims under the microscope. Sam . Raj, jessica, good evening. The president s address today recapped the fury of the last few weeks and looked to set an agenda moving forward. First, though, we need to know where exactly we stand. Here are the president s claims were Fact Checking today. That the threat of default made our debt payments expensive, our deficit is rinking and dropping faster than any point in the last 50 years. Heres the first claim. We know that just the threat of default, of america not paying all the bills that we owe on time, increased our borrowing costs which adds to our deficit. This claim is actually not true. Our borrowing costs have not gone up. In fact, theyve gone down. According to bloomberg. Com, the Interest Rate on the u. S. Tenyear treasury note has dropped in recent weeks. A month ago, the tenyear treasury had an Interest Rate of 2. 85 . Now, the tenyear note has an Interest Rate of 2. 59 . That means our debt payments have actually become cheaper. At least in the short term. Long term, major lenders like japan and china decide they cant count on us to honor obligations, then borrowing could become more expensive. For the time being, thats not the case. Heres the next claim. And remember, the deaf is sit is getting smaller, not bigger. Its going down faster than it has in the last 50 years. And the deficit is getting smaller, but only for a couple more years. According to the nonpartisan congressional budget office. Heres a look at their latest reports. This graphic youre about to see shows the difference between our spending, represented by that top line there, and our revenues, represented by the bottom line. The difference is the annual deficit. See the two lines are farthest apart in 2009. Come together, theyve since come much closer together which means deficits have shrunk. Starting in 2015, as it moves out, extend the graph, the cbo thinks shooting will spend up which is why we see the gap between the two lines. The gap is the rising deficit. Yes, the president s climb the deficit is rishrinking now is t but expected to rise. Thats only because the deficit was high to begin with. We chopped off 750 billion the last few years. In terms of the rates the deficit has fallen trks, its fallen faster between 1993 and 1996 and 2004 and 2007. The president s claim here is also more or less false. Im sam brock. Thats todays reality check. Back to you. Very clear reporting. Thank you, sam. Another glitch for obama care. Covered california, the states new Insurance Exchange is pulling its doctor directory after admitting its filled with incorrect information. Administrators say there were several mistakes, for example, some obstetricians were identified as ophthalmologists. The search function for doctors has been offline since last week.

The ninth Circuit Court of apeels heard testimony from south bay parents in a case that drew national attention. The court will rule if School Administrators in morgan hill violated the Constitutional Rights of a few students three years ago for telling them to turn their tshirts inside out. The tshirts had american flags on them. On Cinco De Mayo in 2010, administrators said they were worried about clashes. The year before, fights broke out between white and latino students on Cinco De Mayo. The white students said they were only being patriotic but latino students said they were being ridiculed for celebrating Cinco De Mayo. Tonights class action education headlines. Is this revenge . Controversial School Figure michelle ri could be saying to herself i told you so. Research from stanford released today shows the contentious teacher Evaluation System put into place in the Nations Capital is actually working. California transplant took a lot of heat when she was chancellor of schools in washington, d. C. For a teacher Evaluation System that identified low performing teachers, and offered significant bonuses to highperforming teachers. The new data from stanford and the university of virginia shows the program led weak teachers to improve or to leave the district. The overall level of teaching quality also improved. Based on classroom observation, and student test scores. That news is likely to add to the ongoing debate over teacher evaluations. Not to mention, the lightning rod at the center of this fury. Also tonight, guarding students personal information online. Theres an Advocacy Group in San Francisco sounding the alarm over the booming mar ining mark. National safeguards are needed to protect personal information about schoolkids being collected forprofit companies.

Getting sleep does more than refresh you. It cleans out the gunk that builds up in your brain when youre awake. Scientists from the university of Rochester Medical Center made the discovery while studying mice. They say the same process happens to humans. They admit they still need to take a closer look at peoples brains.
