seven killed and 90 injured in the downtown explosion. at least ten shot to death at the summer camp shooting spree. but up first, stunning new drama in the debate over deficit spending in washington and the prospect of a historic government default just ten days from now. republican house speaker john boehner tonight calling off negotiations with president obama saying the democratic white house is too gung-ho about raising taxes and too timid when it comes to squeezing money from social security and medicare as speaker boehner sent his colleagues a stunning letter explaining his decision, an angry president came to the white house briefing room with a passionial rebuttal. this was an extraordinarily fair deal. if it was unbalanced, it was unbalanced in the direction of not enough revenue. but in the interests of being serious about deficit reduction, i was willing to take a lot of heat from my party, and i spoke to democratic leaders yesterday, and although they didn t

self-imposed deadline for a deal and still there is no deal. some on capitol hill, some of even the president s allies are saying this is now in their view time to cut bait and stop going for this big deficit reductions package they ve been talking about and just find the easiest path forward to get the debt ceiling raised and worry about deficit reductions at another time. you know, it seemed like there was some enthusiasm and some progress yesterday. but if the two sides are even further dug in, even further apart so to speak, why is the president still pushing for something big? reporter: well, there s the overt politics of it. he seems to be nominally winning. the republicans in public polls are doing less well and are getting more blame than the president, in part because he s going for something big. but there s also just the simple fact that they have to figure out a way to get votes in the house of representatives to raise the debt ceiling. and they can t get thos

put forward by a bipartisan senate group named the gang of six. most liberals don t like the gang of six approach because it would make cuts to social security and medicare. we are an anti-gang group. we are we re trying to suppress the growth of gangs. we think that it is not healthy for washington. most conservatives complain it doesn t cut spending enough and raises taxes too much. the gang of six is a five pages of sort of talking points. it s not an actual plan. but the president sees it as a framework for a potential potential breakthrough and perhaps because they like the other fallback options even less, the house republican leadership says it s at least worth talking about. let s begin with what happened tonight behind closed doors and how the new senate plan is changing the discussion. our chief white house correspondent jessica yellin and kate bald win are live at their posts and chrystia freeland, and the meeting with the republicans which is the m
