us. 92is to have you here. we will begin in washington where we have new information on the woman who ran her car into i white house barrier yesterday and took off towards capitol hill. >> the chase ended when police shot and killed her. she was driving with her 1-year-old daughter in the back seat. good morning, bob. >> sources tell us a driver's license and car registration found at the shooting scene identified the woman as miriam carey. relatives and friends said she was battling some form of depression, but investigators don't know what triggered the frightening car chase and shooting that played out between the white house and capitol. the woman in the black coupe has been identified by multiple law enforcement sources as 34-year-old miriam carey of stanford connecticut, a licensed dental hygienist seen here on her facebook page that was recently taken down. officials in hazmat suits evacuated the apartment where carey lived as they searched for clues about what led to the shocking episode. at mid-afternoon thursday, carey's car was surrounded by police on capitol hill. the officers tried to win the car against a sidewalk barrier, but she rammed a cruiser and sped away. numerous officers opened fire. >> i heard the gunshots and theyer tothey er to er to out of the areas. >> they raced around the capitol building and the car jumped the curb and came to a stop on the east side of the capitol. the droifr was shot multiple times by police officers. she was later pronounced dead. carey's young daughter in the car for the chase was rescued unharmed after the shooting. >> the child is a-year-old and is in good condition and in protective cust doe. >> the incident began at the southeast corner of the white house. car's car rammed into a security bear ked and fled. uniformed officers gave chase at high speed down pennsylvania avenue towards the capitol. fbi agents received visiting the home hours after the drama ended. a friend who saw carey a few days ago -- >> she was all smiles like she didn't have a care in the world. >> the driver was not armed when she engaged police in downtown washington, but she was clearly using that vehicle as a weapon and officers responded opening fire ending as a threat. anthony and nora? >> john miller is here. he's a former fbi assistant director. good morning. what do we know about this woman? why did she do this? >> we don't know the why. we are developing a picture that gets richer as the night goes on. she was a 34-year-old dental hygienist.- in april of 2012 said she was upbeat and happy and normal and had a fall in the stairs where she had a head injury. there was a recover from that. interestingly it was in a hospital that she learned she was pregnant. she got a handicapped parking permit because of issues she was having from that injury and then other doctors from the medical suite complained she was tying up the space in front of the building. they asked her to move her car back. this became something that led to her being fired. police interviewing people in and around her life say she was suffering from other emotional issues that came to the attention of the police in stanford connecticut. how we get from there to what happened yesterday is still a bit of a gap. >> why did police end up opening fire in this case? >> a couple of reasons. this is something that is going to be examined and interviewed by the secret service and the capitol police and any other agency that may have fired shots there. there were numerous shots, more than 15 or 20. they will have to go back over that. most police agencies have a policy, again opening fire on a moving car. it's inherently dangerous and ineffective, but this is an issue of context. when you are guarding the capitol or the white house and someone tries to ram the barricades and trying to get closer to buildings, this is not your normal traffic violation and stolen car. in context, they usually factor in, is this a car bomb or a terrorist attack or is there a button under the dashboard or a weapon? there was high tension. that review will go over. each officer and each shot and why it was fired. >> washington is on a heightened state of alert all the time and there was just the navy yard shooting. how is this different though? in most of these cases, the shootings are usually young males who have a history of some psychiatric problems. this is differently. >> this is different, but one of the things you learn from investigating these things and i have been in the federal investigations you struggled to put rational reasons behind them. when you find that people are irrational and you finally uncover from a note or a conversation that made sense to them, but not to us. >> thank you. >> another cass yulty of the partial government shut down president obama is scrapping his trip to asia set for next week. the administration is warning about the next showdown the treasury secretary said the government will run out of money in two weeks if congress doesn't raise the borrowing limit. jack lew writes we will not negotiate over whether the united states pays bills or past commitments. >> the treasury department issued a dire report saying a default would be unprecedented and has the potential to be catastrophic and the economy would fall into recession. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there is no visible progress on ending the shut down but there is a glimmer of hope that the nation won't default on the debt. they are meeting with leaders at this hour and telling them it's time to craft a bipartisan deal to pay the countriy debt. the president continues to urge republicans to allow a vote on the spending limit that is not tied to health care. addressing the crowd in maryland, president obama told congress just do your job. >> take a vote and stop this first and end this shut downright now. >> the president warned the state could get worse if congress does not raise the borrowing limit by mid-october. >> as reckless as a government shut down is many people think they are being hurt boy a government shut down an economic shut down that results from default would be dramatically worse. >> the administration is raising the stakes. jack lew said his department has run out of options. >> we don't have any more. congress has to act. >> in 2011 even the threat of a possible default wreaked havoc on the markets and led to stand onny standard and poor's downgrading the credit rating. >> we don't want to know what understand happen. >> the house continues the piece meal approach with funding small parts of the government. members passed a bill to fund the national guard and veterans affairs. democrats suppose the bit by bit funding and republicans blamed the president. >> the president's refusing to work in a bipartisan way led to this shut down. >> john boehner holds the key to a solution. harry reid urged boehner to stand up to tea party members who reid calls anarchists. >> i feel positive that john boehner who is basically a nice guy cannot let this go on. he can't let this go on. he can't have his speakership more important than the country. >> if boehner is ready as he suggested to some republicans to talk about joining with democrats to avoid a default, that is without a majority of his own party, his position as speaker of the house could be at risk. >> no plan at the white house. business analyst jill slessinger is with us. are they exaggerating when they say it could be catastrophic? >> i don't know but let's not go there and test it. this is uncharted waters. we go back to 2011 with devastating markets down 17% after the debt ceiling crisis. the economy was damaged. let's remind everyone what happened here. on october 17th we reached the debt ceiling. we will get through the rest of october okay. november 1st the treasury is supposed to write a check to social security for $25 billion. november 15th would make an interest payment on the bonds of $30 billion. without an increase in the debt ceiling, we cannot make the payments. >> what happens is the president has to prioritize himself. he has to make decisions about who gets pay. >> absolutely. we don't know if that moans delaying your social security checks or the bond interest. i think the government would work hard to make the bond interest payments. this is a destabilizing effect. remember, what happens with markets when they don't know what's going on? they freak out. it could not necessarily be catastrophic in the essence of what's happening, but the emotional and psychological damage could be long lasting. >> the dow is below 15,000 and down 700 points in two weeks. the treasury secretary warned prospect of default could be disruptive. aren't we there? >> absolutely. in the last two weeks, the market is down about 3.5%. we are off about 15 to 20% on the year so we have gains, but you look at the national retail federation releasing the christmas holiday shopping spending and looks like things will be up by 3.9% butfutt. bif thich. you can see it has a long lasting effect and could continue right through the end of the fourth quarter. >> it also shapes business because they don't want to hire. they don't know what's going to happen. >> too bad we need the jobs report to figure that out. >> thank you. later today the house is due to vote on a bill to pay for government nutrition programs and disaster relief. we will ask nancy pelosi why her party opposes republican efforts to fund the government piece by piece. that story is ahead and that interview only on cbs this morning. >> some fema workers furloughed are being called back to work preparing for tropical storm karen as it is expected to strengthen as it approaches the gulf coast. hurricane watches are posted. hurricane consultant david bernard is tracking the storm. where is it headed? >>. >> good news as the storm is weaker and it might get a touch stronger through the next 24 hours. we have a 60 mile per hour storm. it's about 365 miles south of new orleans, louisiana moving to the northwest at 10. again on that route, it's going to approach the northern gulf coast saturday night and early sunday morning. rapidly weaken in the northeast sunday night into monday morning across alabama and into georgia. what's the chance for significant winds meaning 58 miles per hour or greater? the immediate threat will be right along the coast, that's a medium threat and it all depends on how much karen strength ends on the coast. rainfall will average a couple of inches, but some spots could see as much as two to five inches. the storm will move quickly and that is going to make a difference. how about this for a change of seasons? we have a blizzard warming for wyoming. some places could see up to two feet of snow and we are just a couple of weeks into fall. back to you. >> incredible. thank you. a major break in the biker attack on an suv driver in new york city. police identify the man who they believe beat the driver. that comes as the driver's family tells its side of the story. good morning. >> good morning to you. everyone involved was captured on high resolution helmet cam video, police had a hard time tracking them down. the most sought after suspect may soon be in custody. law enforcement said reginald chance is the helmet wielding man who bashed in this window before allegedly yanking out the driver and beating him in front of his wife and young child. he could be turned in as early as today. adriano sieged on the incident to call for a crack down. >> this is outrageous. we want it to stop. >> new video surfaced believed to be the hours leading up to the chase. bikers can be seen running red lights and popping wheelies and weaving in and out of traffic on the wrong side of the road. the confrontation unfolded when one appeared to slow down in front of the range recovery. within seconds a warm of motorcycles surrounded the vehicle and he hit the gas, seriously injuring a 32-year-old. >> in a statement his wife extended condolences to the family but defended her husband's actions saying our fear for our lives was confirmed when the incident ended with the brutal attack on my husband, me and most importantly, our 2-year-old child. we know we could not have done anything differently. >> during the chase the couple called 911 four times. as for the family of the injured biker, they hired attorney gloria allred and will hold a press conference later today. >> off the coast of italy, we will get these pictures of rescue efforts after a boat capsized. choppy seas are hampering the search for hundreds of others believed to have drowned. 111 bodies are now recovered. that number could triple. the boat packed with about 500 african immigrants capsized less than a mile from an italian island. >> time to show you this morning's headlines. the supreme court hears a key case about campaign finance. they want to overturn a law that limits how much money person can give to candidates and federal parties and commitmentees. right now it's $123,000. if it is overturned that could rise to $3.7 million. >> twitter revealed plans to raise up to $1 billion in their initial public offering. it doubled to $254 million in the first six months of the year. twitter put the recent value at $9.7 billion. >> the "houston chronicle" respects on wendy davis's running for governor in texas. she will face republican attorney greg abbott. they

>> it was flawless. from the time we stepped down to the time we called for the helicopters to come back and get us i would say it was no more than five minutes and it was over. >> you thought you were going back and done. >> yes. the helicopters were on the way back to pick us up. we had everybody we were trying to get in one package and one mission. >> then from this roof top were his men under fire who watched as the black hawk was heading towards them. >> it took a direct hit and with the start of a slow rotation -- >> how hard did it hit? >> catastrophic impact. that's the only way to describe it. >> this was moments after it was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, spinning out of control before it was torn apart on impact. >> and lara logan is with us. good morning. when i first saw this video last night, it's so compelling remembering that. we have never seen this before. >> no. very, very few images exist of this battle and nothing was seen publicly before it was released here and there. what's amazing is this operation 20 years later is so classified. the units couldn't use their names and there has been a movie and a book about this and they wouldn't confirm the names of the men, board the helicopter. >> why is that? >> part is the secrecy surrounding this. they widely reported the death reports involved in that and the special operations stalkers were flying them in the sky and this was the defining battle for that unit. people never looked to the pilots the same way again because they were literally flying soldiers. they were flying with one happened and shooting with the other. it's largely because of them that the men on the ground were not overwhelmed and slaughtered. >> you were in somalia for a week and had the terrorist group, al shabaab in parts of it. what state is it in now? >> nobody thought it would change and it is changing. it has a government now. al shabaab is pushed out of the capital. everyone talks about how fragile the pieces are. you want to give credit for getting to a place no one thought was possible. at the same time al shabaab did that attack in kenya and show they may have lost ground but they haven't lost the fight. >> what's the lasting effect of black hawk down? president clinton four days after this said let's change. >> everything. everything in foreign policy changed. can you imagine today that you have the civil war somewhere in the united states and the un goes rushing in? after that event, no one wanted to get involved in other people's problems anymore. that's why the u.s. had to be dragged in and dragged into bosnia. on top of that, just in terms of military tactics and strategy that was the first time the military faced al qaeda in battle. they fought alongside the somalis. it was a warning of what was to come. one of the commanders said to me many lives were saved because of that battle in the end because of what we learned about who we were fighting that day. now they know they were fighting al qaeda. at the time they didn't. for example, there no men stepping out the door without night vision goggles and water. that was only supposed to last a few minutes lasted 17 1/2 hours. >> great to have you here. you can see lara's full report on the 2oth anniversary of black hawk down sunday night on 60 minutes here on cbs. >> pope francis visited the tomb of his namesake. he embraced the life of poverty and minstered to the neediest. this is the first pope to name himself after the 13th century friar. good morning mark. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. folks have visited before but for a pope named francis, this is more than a pilgrimage. it's a mission statement. an outdoor mass was the centerpiece of this, but for pope francis hooey is stressing how he is trying to remake the catholic church in the image of the man who made this hillside famous. he projected wealth and minstered to the poor. 8 hundred helped years later, pope francis is saying he wants a church that again followed saint francis's example. already this week he assembled a panel of cardinals to begin the process of reforming the serve-serving vatican bureaucracy. they said it doesn't need fixing, it needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. behind the religion pageantry, there other early signs of reform. the vatican bank the center of secrecy, scandal, and corruption issued the first ever annual report as well. pope francis has been in office just six months but already he has begun to redefine the papacy rejecting and speaking often without notes and about real events. the tragedy of the sinking of a boat carrying hundreds of african refugees off the italian coast last night was an example. the death toll is rising and may reach more than 300. francis who has been urging more international action to help the migrants called the disaster a disgrace. today he blamed it on an uncaring world. pope francis has certainly changed the style of the papacy and he appears to be moving on to the next stage of his agenda to change the structure and to some extent the attitudes of the church. anthony?

>> well the president already has in the budget that he agreed to in 2011. that is an unhappy scenario for our members, but nonetheless, it was part of the grand bargain and it all depends on what the bargain is. but our attitude we go to that table saying that if you want to talk about the solvency of social security talk about that, and that all the money saved should go back into social security and the same thing for medicare. i'm here today and i'm excited about it because we have -- even though government is shutdown we still have to think in imaginative ways about how to make the future better. >> so you're here for women's economic agenda. tell us about that. >> it's called when women succeed, america succeeds. its a's be tloo simple things equal pay, raising minimum wage pay equity, and earned paid sick leave and third, child care. we think this would unleash the power of women in our economy and then too, they need paid leave and sick child care. so we're very excited about the response we've received all over the country to this. by the way, it will lift our gdp by two or three points if women are more empowered. >> you have five children and you're used to squabbling. what would you say too your children if they're behaving the way the democrats and the republicans are be having? >> i don't agree to your stipulation of behaving. the president of the united states has gone forward with extending the hand of friendship over and over but i think what has been lost if you say to the president, we'll only open government if you eliminate the affordable care act, that's just a nonstarter. >> but at the same time the president is saying he won't negotiate and taking criticism for that. >> here's what the president has said. the full faith and credit of the united states of america is not negotiable. everything else in the budget is that, but they have to come -- they can't say our first premise is you have to overturn the affordable care act. think of yourself and your whole life -- if you divorce your husband. we can have this conversation. >> it does seem like white noise. you say something, we say something, and the people are just saying you guys just work it out. >> i agree with you, i agree that it seems that way, but that doesn't mean that we'll fold when it comes to the well-being of our children and what they're doing is really really harmful. having said that let's find a path to get this done. the speaker has said he wants to do something in a bipartisan way. i doesasked him as recently as yesterday can we talk about that. hopefully he will today. our caucus has agreed to their number. the president has been most open, but he's not going to have the full faith and credit of the united states -- >> people can say you know something about compromise. you just celebrated your 50th wedding anniversary. that means compromise. >> happiness, yes, thank you. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> thank you for being here. >> this weekend "face the nation" will focus. he'll talk with jack lew and republican senator john cornyn. and israeli prime minister netanyahu. you can see "face the nation," the number one sunday morning a real life drama at sea is about to hit the big screen. tom hanks and the man he play captain richard phillips sit down with "sunday morning. a preview ahead on cbs. ♪ big wheels keep on turning ♪ [ female announcer ] it's a mountain grown morning with folgers lively colombian. it's deliciously dark just before dawn. it's welcoming the sunrise with a taste of vanilla biscotti. with folgers gourmet selections you can enjoy a variety of roasts and flavors from one perfectly brewed k-cup or a freshly brewed carafe. ♪ ♪ turn any day gourmet with folgers gourmet selections. ♪ ♪ the secret is out. hydration is in.

>> yes, please. dr. sheen o.b. >> because you actually are a doctor. >> i am. as research for the show i actually became a doctor. mainly just when i was asked the question, what research -- >> yes. >> i was honorary doctor at the university of wales. i won't do any examinations. >> well, that's good because i've already had my exam thank you very much. but this is the thing about this series because i've seen it. and the way it's approach is so clinical because dr. masters really felt sex is science, and that's not how most people look at it. he really wanted to know how do men and women -- how do we say this? >> have sex. >> have sex and get satisfaction. >> yeah. >> and get satisfaction. help me out here michael. >> it was as the moon was. >> because we didn't talk about it. >> there were no reports coming back. exactly. i spoke to quite a few obgyn surgeons at work at the time and they would say when people came in and had problems with their sexual relationship there was nothing they could refer to other than their own sex life. so it was just a taboo controversial there was no platform to be able to discuss those things. the differences between masters wants to keep it clinical the show itself i think shows that you can't compartmentalize it. you can't separate from emotion, vulnerable, all those issues come up. >> that's correct. >> what did he find that was so ground breaking about sex? >> the fact it was studied at all. the fact he had people begin with prostitutes because there was nobody who would actually volunteer because obviously it was highly controversial work. and then most of his study was done in secret within the university hospital they worked at in st. louis. and so the fact that he was having people have sex in front of him and being monitored for the first time he invented all kinds och -- this is the area where it gets slightly tricky. because just to talk about i don't even know if it's allowed -- >> that's why i'm dancing around the words because it still makes so many people uncomfortable to discuss it. >> that's what the subject is. any discussion of sex or depiction of sex and sexuality brings up the double standards we have in our society. you can talk about violence until the cows come home but as soon as you start talking about sex it all becomes very awkward and difficult. and in the filming of the series, similar thing. when i've done movies in the past, when you come to a sex scene of some kind it can be a grey area. everyone's slightly uncomfortable about pinning down what you're going to do. >> and how you're going to do it. >> but this show it's scene after scene. so there have to be very clear parameters about how you go about -- and you have to be very communicative and talk about it. >> did you have any concerns when they approached you about doing this? >> well i suppose my main concern at the time wasn't about the subject matter, because that was what i found very exciting. the idea that obviously everyone's interest would be piqued. but what i was really interested by and excited by was how the approach of it how intelligent and kind of sophisticated the approach was. and how much it seemed to want to really explore the subject. i'm excited about the character. you know you put this man who is so withheld, so controlled so, you know -- and you put him in this situation where he's trying to keep everything separate. and of course it's just going to be devastation. of course it's still going to happen. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> continued success to you. >> thank you. >> thank you michael sheen for coming.
