Battle over the budget, every clock in washington is ticking towards the first government default in u. S. History. Every clock but this one. The ohio clock, as it is known, has stood in the senate for two centuries, but it stopped because the people who wind it have been furloughed by the Government Shutdown. That shutdown started nine days ago when republicans in the house refused to fund the government unless they could roll back obamacare. Next week, the government will not be able to borrow enough money to pay its bills unless Congress Raises the socalled debt ceiling. These two crisis the shutdown and the debt ceiling were discussed at the white house late today by the president and republican leaders. We have reports from both ends of pennsylvania avenue. Were going to go first to Major Garrett at the white house. Major, the meeting just broke up. Whats happened . Reporter well, scott, this is a very, very fluid situation. White house aides are scrambling at this moment to put together a statement to characterize exactly what went on when the president met with 18 House Republicans today. Theyre not characterizing it in any way right now as either productive or nonproductive. What they are avoiding are terminology of is saying the republican off was rejected by the president. Its clear talks will continue on the subject of day which was not resolving or ending shutdown but trying to find a way to extend the Legal Authority of the government to borrow to avoid a default. Which as said comes due october 17. The republicans came with a proposal to the president to extend Borrowing Authority for the government until november 22. And we are told the president is taking that offer under advisement, considering it, and talks will continue. Nobody here either Congressional Republicans or the president talked after the meeting, but upon returning to capitol hill, the House Majority leader eric cantor said this. The takeaway from the meeting was our teams were going to be talking further tonight. Well have more discussion. Well come back to have more discussion. The president said that he would go and consult with the administration folks, and hopefully we can see a way forward after that. Reporter well, we do know, scott, House Republicans had hoped that tomorrow they could put this idea in legislative language and have the house vote on it. That appears to be delayed, subject to more negotiations. The talks continue but a way out has not been found. Pelley major, thanks very much. Even the prospect of averting default sent the stock prices soaring. The dow gained more than 323 points, the biggest point gain in more than a year and a half. What about the Government Shutdown . Nancy cordes is on capitol hill and has more news about that tonight, nancy. Reporter House Republicans are actively looking for a way out of that standoff, too. As one g. O. P. Aide put it to me today, if the president could give us any kind of fig leaf, any kind of concessions wed reopen the government tomorrow. Speaker boehner seemed to drop his demands today for big changes to the president S Health Care law in exchange for funding the government. What do you need in order to reopen the full government . I dont want to put anything on the table. I dont want to take anything off the table. Reporter its a fight boehner didnt want in the first place. The Tea Party Conservatives who pushed him into it expressed support today for this new approach, testing the president s offer for a far reaching talks on the budget, obamacare, and entitlements, like medicare. Robert pittenger of North Carolina i think what were looking at is coming together in a reasonable way is and say, hey, well meet you halfway. Reporter the change in tone say nod to reality. Business groups who were worried about the shutdown and default, had begun threatening to campaign for democrats and gallups latest poll found the publics approval of republicans has sunk to an alltime low 28 well below the democrats 43 . Senate republicans arent entirely comfortable with the plan that their house g. O. P. Colleagues put forward today for two reasons. First of all, they think that the government should be reopened immediately. Second of all, they worry that six weeks, a sixweek increase in the debt ceiling doesnt give the g. O. P. And the president enough time to negotiate over very thorny spending issues that the two sides have been at odds over for years, scott. Pelley nancy the meeting at the white house just broke up. Things are very fluid. What happens next . Reporter well, House Republicans are all telling us that theyre going to be working throughout the night, going back and forth with the white house. It does appear that the big Sticking Point right now is over reopening the government. The president saying he likes their plan to extend the debt ceiling for six weeks so they can negotiate, but he wants to see the government reopened, too. House republicans are going to want some kind of concession for that, so thats probably what theyre going to be discussing all night long. Pelley but at least theyre talking. Nancy, thank you very much. On this tenth day of the shutdown, 400,000 federal workers remain on furlough. 800,000 more are working without pay. And the shutdown is now estimated to have cost the economy more than 15 billion. The impact goes well beyond washington and federal workers. Dean reynolds shows us that the shutdown means trouble on the farm at harvest time. Reporter the corn is tall and the pigs are plump in polo, illinois, but farmer brian duncan is preoccupied by the government gridlock 800 miles to the east. Whats the biggest headache for you connected to the Government Shutdown . Well, dean, i would say its lack of information. Reporter daily reports from the agriculture department, which help farmers read the markets for corn and livestock prices have ceased. We dont know the value of a hog in the marketplace starts out as an annoyance. Goes to frustration and then a headache and then it becomes a become deal because just because the government is shut down doesnt mean agriculture stops. Reporter as for grain, the monthly reports on production and Global Demand were set to come out tomorrow. Its not going to happen. Reporter no report. No report. Its been postponed. Theres no one there to report is it. Reporter on the commodities trading floor, instead of brisk transaction, the lack of Government Data is stalling investment and sapping confidence. So this bulldozer is here to do what . Well, it should have been working. Reporter he wants to build a new environmentally friendly pig pen but approval for federal assistance has stalled with winter only weeks away. Farmers also cant apply for new loans, or receive some government checks. The food chain keeps rolling. Reporter theres no such thing as a dormant pig. They keep getting bigger. Well, last i checked, people are still eating, even though the government is shut down, isnt that right . Reporter when i asked him what he would tell the politicians in washington, scott, he said, they should try to be good shepherds, try to be true to their calling, and try to handle their disputes with wisdom. Pelley Dean Reynolds on the farm in illinois. Dean, thanks very much. Despite the shutdown, a house subcommittee today heard testimony on a problem our jim axelrod exposed last month, that many returning war veterans are being overmedicated, some receiving lethal amounts of pain medication from v. A. Hospitals. Jim there was as congress opened the investigation. Reporter on capitol hill, two veterans crippled by debilitating pain describe their v. A. Doctors increasing their narcotic dosages, instead of treating the underlying causes. I struggled with years of dependence on opiod therapy that was my only option, made available to me for my chronic, debilitating backpain. Justin minyard, a retired special ops interrogator, hurt his back as a First Responder at the pentagon on 9 11.

Military, of course, helped with the downfall of the libyan dictator muammar gaddafi. Since then libya has become a country without laws and today the Prime Minister was kidnapped at gunpoint. Though he was later released unharmed. Mark phillips looks at who may have done this and why. Reporter there was a lot of fuss made when libyan Prime Minister ali zidano finally showed up at the office. He had had quite a day. From the hotel in tripoli where he lives behind cordons of security, zidan had been kidnapped or abducted or arrested depending on your point of view, by a gang of gunmen. No shots were fired. Zidan was held for several hours while speculation swirled on who had taken him and why. Most of the speculation centered on abu anas allibi, who was snatched by u. S. Forces from the streets of tripoli last saturday. Zidans opponents claim the Libyan Government must have had advanced knowledge of the operation, and after the raid secretary of state john kerry was carefully diplomatic on what if anything the libyans knew. We consult regularly with the Libyan Government on a range of counterterrorism issues but we dont get into the specifics of our communications with the foreign government. Reporter since the overthrow of muammar qaddafi two years ago, the militias that rose up against him have not been molded into a unified security force. Quite the opposite. Theyve been separate, often competing armies, representing regional, political, religious, and tribal divisions. The group that abducted the Prime Minister calls itself the revolutionary operations room. And he may have been freed only when his captors were confronted by another militia. According to the state department, United States personnel in libya were not in any danger due to the kidnapping drama, but it hasnt made the country a safer or more stable place, scott.

Pelley the u. S. Agriculture department is threatening to shut down three poultry plant in california owned by foster farms. Theyve been linked to a salmonella outbreak, which has spread to 17 states and made 278 people ill but there has been no recall, and in some places the chicken is still for sale. Heres john blackstone. Reporter the foster farms chicken products blamed for the salmonella outbreak have been pulled from the shelves in some supermarkets but we found it for sale in others. In a letter to foster farms, the nt, inspectors found u. S. D. A. Says 25 of in one plant, inspectors found salmonella in more than 25 of the samples tested. Im getting a little freaked out about the chicken situation. Reporter consumers like Laura Drexler in los angeles are confused about why the chicken is still for sale when it made more than 270 people sick sending 40 of them to the hospital. I think that every company, including foster farms, has an obligation to the public to do whatever they can to ensure our safety, including pulling it off the shelves if thats what they think is in our best interest. Reporter but the u. S. D. A. Does not require recall for salmonella because its widely found where chickens are raised. Its presence doesnt lead to the same kind recall as ecolie. The u. S. D. A. Classifies e. Coli as an adulterant, a substance that can make people sick. Its not illegal to find salmonella in chicken . Right, so u. S. D. A. Only haltz the authority to recall products that are misbranded or considered an adulterant, and because salmonella is not considered an adulterant they cannot recall it even though salmonella is the number two cause of food poidzening in the u.
