just raise the debt ceiling without some alteration on the spending path that we re on today. i think 10 percent is easily achievable. these states are going beyond that, the u.k. is going beyond that. we could absolutely do it, and should do it. but that s just the beginning. that s one of the first steps. bill, the decifit is even more serious than that. that will not put us on the right path. and if we put our mind to it we can achieve that and do something fine for our children. bill: it is topic number one, all week, and beyond. jeff sessions, senator, thank you for your time today. thank you. bill: martha, more breaking news. martha: we have a number of stories breaking this morning. this one, a suicide bomber in moscow at an airport is the report we re just getting now from inter fax, they re attributing what happened there, the deaths of ten people, according to inter fax, as i mentioned. we are working on confirming those numbers. it s a very moving situation right now, but
airport? possible, all being looked at now by security forces on the ground, martha, back to you. martha: the latest information coming through from what you are saying, the number has risen again at least 30, 31 people, fatalities in the situation. and, also, the 10,000 pounds of tnt this is being reported by the russian news agencies you cite. that steers us in a slightly different direction than suicide bombers strapped with explosives. reporter: big stuff, we are trying to ascertain, of course for our american viewers if there are any americans involved, and, again from our research, we have united airlines, operating a flight in between dulles airport and this airport and singapore airlines operating a flight between houston and this and there are other airlines, americans could well connect with, including british airways and lufthansa and air france. martha: very much a breaking news story and we ll stay on it throughout the next hour as we get new information we ll bring it
this. our state department is saying for the time being, and keep in mind this is a fast-moving situation they do not believe as of right now, any americans were involved in this, though it is a heavily trafficked international terminal in this airport. they are going to possibly make a statement on it later this afternoon, as they get more information about who was involved in this, we re staying on top of that, greg palkot is on it as well and as soon as we turn the sound around we ll get that for you as well. bill: she claimed her fortune and what a fortune it is but not a trace of the mega million jackpot winner. reports say a 29-year-old woman collected a lump sum of $80 million, but her estranged husband wants some money, described as a violent ex-con who wants his dough. so, holly and her kids have been in hiding since she landed the golden ticket. and what gives here? eric sean is on the story, live in new york. eric: she won $190 million, and in the mega millions lottery a
throughout the community, and the warning signs going out to turn off the gas lines inside of your home. so if you re in the area, the warning is out there, and hopefully you get this thing figured out. it started at 7:00 a.m., that s 2 1/2 hours ago. hopefully they re through the worst of it. we ll check back in in northern ohio. martha: in the meantime a woman wins a $190 million jackpot in the lottery, she takes her kids into hiding after that. this is a bizarre situation. we ll tell you why she may be on the run and why it s so hard to find her. bill also you heard senator sessions say this is a defining moment for president obama. what does he say tomorrow night? is he moving to the center? is that a legitimate move? a fair and balanced debate with our two favorites, bob and andrea, waiting on deck. and a whole lot more breaking news, moments away.
more liberal views. martha: i hear what you re saying, andrea. and bob nobody likes to have their approval ratings down. he has improving numbers right now and a situation seems to be on better footing clearly than it was months ago. he s got to turn the economy around to the extent that any u.s. president can. how pragmatic is he going to be about what needs to be done? i think it s a good question, and you know, i don t know about you, andrea, but there are enough construction jobs going on on the highways around this country now that traffic is getting backed up. plenty of this stuff is going on right now. by the way, the chinese were just here, the idea that the united states government investing in technology and research at universities, which has been the mainstay of our research and technology, which is the greatest system in the world, you say reach across the aisle to the republicans, obama doesn t have a long enough right arm to get that far. he ll try, but the problem is
