The senate is voting as we speak on a bipartisan plan to reopen the government and avert an unprecedented national default. Final approval from the house is expected tonight. The senate deal would fund the government through january 15th and raise the debt ceiling until february 7 with no major changes to obamacare. The deal also directs congress to attempt a budget agreement by middecember. Meanwhile, stocks surged on news of the compromise. The dow was up more than 200. The s p closed just 4 points shy of its alltime high. For more on whats the deal really entails and whats next we go to Shannon Travis in washington. Whats the latest . Reporter well, the latest, liz, is right now, senators are one step closer to actually passing that compromise, that deal. They have taken one vote. They have another vote to go before it actually clears that hurdle. From there, it will go over to the house where we expect for it to pass in the house as well, liz. One open question, will a majority of republicans house lawmakers sign on to support this . We know that john boehner House Speaker john boehner is urging his caucus to support this so thats where we are so far. We could see we could see president obama sign this bill tonight and potentially the federal government starts to re open tomorrow. Shannon, lets talk about the next few months. Once this shortterm deal is signed, both parties will still have to Work Together on some longterm solutions. Hows that going to work . Reporter well, thats really the sticking point. And thats really an open question. Obviously, republicans and democrats, liz, havent been able to coalesce around some common ideals thus far which is why were at this point. But according to the agreement, part of the thing that they want to do is start the budget negotiations right away. Have members from the house and from the senate come together and try to come together with a framework on a longterm budget deal. Well see if they can do that or not seeing as how they havent been able to do it in the past but thats the goal. At least with the short term deal they can buy more time and reopen the government.

For over a decade san jose has recognized the sacrifices of military servicemen and women at the annual veterans day parade. But len ramirez says, this years parade could be the last. Len. Reporter ken, one of the reasons why the Vietnam Memorial was placed where it is, is that its right here on the parade route as veterans march down santa clara street on veterans day, they can look over and be reminded of the ultimate sacrifice that was made by others. But this year, when they pass through, it could be for a final salute. Reporter it was only a year after the First World War that veterans began proudly marching through downtown san jose and they have been doing it on veterans day without missing a beat ever since. 1919, when it first happened in washington, d.

Seems like we have good participation but people dont come out and watch the parade so much anymore. So fewer and fewer people every year.

Reporter but does the science back that up . Well, dr. Perot and others behind the new campaign called deception at General Mills say yes. We have a lots of Clinical Research showing us there profound Health Effects in animals fed gmos. Reporter she says gmos are also linked to intestinal problems in children. Many Scientists Say more long term testing on the safety of gmos is needed but General Mills and the u. S. Department of agriculture insist foods containing gmos are safe. So why cheerios and why now . Were looking at cheerios because its often the first food thats introduced to babies. Reporter and because supporters of the Movement Hope by targeting the popular food they will give america something to chew on. She loves cheerios. I was raised on cheerios as well as my parents.

We are going to explain what happens next. We are going to introduce you to the man who waged the battle against obamacare that led the u. S. To the brink of default. Well have all that for you tonight on the cbs evening news at 5 30 right after kpix 5 news. Back to breaking news out of washington. These are live pictures of the senate floor right now. The president is expected to speak. Theres the white house. And this is the senate just passing the bill to reopen the government and raise the nations debt limit. The measure now moves to the house for final approval. Thats expected to happen a short time from now. The bipartisan compromise comes 16 days into the partial Government Shutdown and again, just hours ahead. Just hours ahead of the possible national default. When the president speaks, well bring it to you. ,,,,,,, the president the senate has voted to approve this agreement and democrats and republicans in the house still have an important vote to take but i want to thank the leaders of both parties for getting us to this pointed. Once this agreement arrives on my desk i will sign it immediately. Well begin reopening our government immediately. And we can begin to lift this cloud of uncertainty and unease from our businesses and from the American People. Ill have more to say about this tomorrow. And i have some thoughts about how we can move forward in the remainder of the year and stay focused on the job at hand. Because theres a lot of work ahead of us including our need to earn back the trust of the American People thats been lost over the last few weeks. And we can begin to do that by addressing the real issues that they care about. I have said it before, ill say it again im willing to work with anybody i am eager to work with anybody, democrat or republican, house or senate members, on any idea that will grow our economy, create new jobs, strengthen the middle class, and get our fiscal house in order for the long term. I have never believed the democrats have a monopoly on good ideas. And despite the differences over the issue of shutting down our government, im convinced that democrats and republicans can pork together to make progress for america. In fact, there are things that we know will help strengthen our economy that we could get done before this year is out. We still need to pass a law to fix our broken immigration system. We still need to pass a farm bill. And with the shutdown behind us and budget committees forming, we now have an opportunity to focus on a sensible budget that is responsible, that is fair and that helps hard working people all across this country. And we could get all these things done even this year if everybody comes together in a spirit of how are we going to move this country forward and put thlast three weeks behind us. Thats what i believe the American People are looking for. Not a focus on politics, not a focus on elections, but a focus on the concrete steps that can improve their lives. Thats going to be my focus. Im looking forward to congress doing the same. But once again, i want to thank the leadership for coming together and getting this done. Hopefully next time it wont be in the th
