Youre a loser you dont have any friends lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. The republican deadlock over the next speaker of the house could be about to break. House ways and Means Committee chairman paul ryan now says he is willing to do the job his way. Senior gop leaders have urged the former Vice President ial candidate to run. Now his decision comes nearly a month after sperg john aker john boehner said he is resigning. Ryan on sundays face the nation said conditions have to be met before he runs. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with his list of demands. Gaens reporter first and foremost, ryan says the house must or he wont run. Turns the line on hardline conservatives who were hoping to what i told the members is if you can agree to these questions and i can truly be a unifying figure, then i will gladly serve. Reporter ryan laid out his requests first for House Republicans and then for the press starting for a call for the gop to start focusing on solutions. We need to move from an Opposition Party to being a proposition party. Reporter then he said the house rule book must be changed. It needs to include fixes to ensure we do not experience constant leadership challenges and kris crises. I cannot and will not give up my family time. I may not be on the road as often as previous speakers but he pledge to make up for it with pledges. After begging the father of three to take the job. Applause. I didnt see anyone booing. Reporter one candidate in the speakers race promptly im out and in with paul. Reporter ryans unusual approach is a reflection of his strong leverage as a conservative who has cut deals with democrats he is seen as one the only people who can unite his fractured party after hardliners forced to force out john boehner and doom his replacement kevin mccarthy. My greatest worry is the consequence of not stepping up. On sunday having my own kids ask me when the stakes were so high, why didnt you do all you could do . Why didnt you stand and fight for my future when you had a chance to do so . Reporter ryan says if the entire party doesnt get behind him by friday he will happily stay in the job he has. It puts the hardliners in a situation where they will get blamed if he backs out. Ironically, that is exactly what they say they have been wanting from the next speaker, a hardball approach. Thank you, nancy. This morning, Vice President joe biden appears to be distancing himself from president ial candidate Hillary Clinton by highlighting his closeness to president obama. But biden also faces very tough questions after giving a new account of his role in the decision to kill Osama Bin Laden. Major garrett is at the white house in a few hours, joe biden will attend the president s daily briefing. Something tells us, major, this will come up. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. The joe biden president ial watch is a fullblown distraction for this white house which finds itself in a position to referee a public debate who is more important to the president . A Vice President or a former secretary of state. The joe biden president ial tease was on dismay. I have now traveled on a million miles as Vice President. Reporter at a dinner honoring walter mondale, a democratic Vice President who lost the run for president shi. The optics appear lost on biden generating a debate how important he was to the president. One example . Travel overseas. John kerry is a great secretary of state. Hillary clinton was a great secretary of state. But there are times when only the Vice President , if its known of his relationship with the president , can speak for the United States when the president cant be there. Reporter biden attempt to diminish kerry and clinton surprised some in the white house as did his revisionist history on privately advocating that president obama boof approve to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden. I told him my opinion but to follow his own instincts. Mr. President , my suggestion is we have to do two more thingstoto see if he is there. He walked out and said ill give you my decision. Reporter it appears that Hillary ClintonHillary Clinton appeared indecisive though portrayed herself fully on board in hard choices. And than this recent appearance in South Carolina. I was the one who recommended to the president that he go ahead and his advisers were split. Reporter the white house refused to play fact checker. This is not the first time that a significant political event has prompted different participated in it. Reporter at that same briefing, earnest described candidate as a candidate but backtracked and said those who mir bidens service but are become ing tonguetied a bit fatigued over the Vice President s Decision Making process. John heilemann of Bloomberg Politics is joining us. Tonguetied and just feat of on the subject of the new york mets which i could talk pretty much all day long. We will get to that later. Okay, good. Biden. Does this controversy play into the Decision Making process or could it. West look. No doubt that joe biden and Hillary Clinton have spent now the last week basically, shadow boxing from the moment when Hillary Clinton entered the debate and starting to talk about president obama, how close she was to him and yesterday she rolled out 50 africanamerican endorsements and a lot of them in South Carolina and basically saying you stay out of this race and biden says if i want in this race ill be in the race. I think the argument is making now is deeply personal and its not about her or about the debate or anything or the Benghazi Committee tomorrow. Its gutcheck time. Im wondering if he is looking for a reason to go or not to go. I think he is looking for reasons to go and not to go. People told me the last few days he changes his mind on a daily basis about what he wants to do. I have given up the prediction game when it comes to joe biden. I think if he is in in we will see him at iowa this weekend with the rest of the Democratic Candidates at a dinner. He says one thing publicly president , he says Something Else privately . Could they both be true . I know on the basis of the reporting that ive done, contemporaneously with this but a couple of years ago people around biden said he would, often in meetings, adopt stances that were not his stance in order to try to tease out disagreements in the room and in order to try to serve as the doing a service to the president so that he didnt seem as though he was not clear about what he would do. He would go off privately later and express his view. What none of us know is what he said to barack obama in private after that meeting. That is a matter that will never be known except by those two guys. Any indication that paul ryan wont get the entire backing of the party by friday . Paul ryan is playing this so smart, the idea of best negotiation you ever get into the one you are willing to walk away. He does not want this job which gives hem a lot of power. Im looking at the drij udge report. There are is somication that the people on the right dont want him. Cbs will host a democratic president ial debate on november cbs. Embattled syrian president assad made a brief visit in russia and met with president putin. Mark phillips is in london with more. Reporter good morning. Well, it was Bashar Al Assads 23irs known trip out of syria since the war broke out four years ago and kept secret and not announced until it was over and a sign of who is running the show on the governments side of the syrian conflict. This was more than a courtesy call. It was a thanks for everything and i mean everything call. With Vladimir Putins jets effectively becoming Assads Air Force the beleaguered syrian leader smiled like he hasnt smiled in years. The russian air campaigns announced intent is to attack isis. But the attacks have largely been outside isiscontrolled territories and against other antiassad forces. Some of them supported by the u. S. And the west. The attacks have served to shore up the crumbling syrian regime. They held the syrians for standing up to the military almost on their own. They never have been on their own, assad has been supported by the iranians an allies from lebanon and the introduction of russian jet bombers with dubious intent may prolong the war, rather than bring it closer to an end. Of course, it brings russian planes into air space the u. S. Has been using in its antiisis campaign. A new u. S. russian memorandum september secret on the demand of the russians have been agreed to certain protocols to keep the russian and u. S. Planes apart but washington does not constitute u. S. Cooperation or support for russians military activities in syria. Our reporters reached out to the white house to see if the United States had any intelligence about assads trip to moscow but officials declined to comment on whether it was a surprise or whether its strategic importance might be.

Police here say not only did jones own that handgun but records show he bought it three days before he was killed. What the same police have not said is how many times the officer fired at jones or whether jones fired at the officer at all. Palm beach gardens Police Officer on duty in plain clothes and Unmarked Police car told investigators he was confronted by an armed corey jones. The handgun was found on the ground outside the vehicle. Mr. Jones purchased the handgun three days before the officer involved shooting. Reporter jones played drums at the bible church of god in Boynton Beach which banks said his grandson had no criminal he just going to he was a lovely grand child. The thing that happened to him, understand. Reporter the officer had a clean record after six months at the palm beach Gardens Police department.

He taught me about understanding and patience and he was a teacher of those virtues. Reporter okay, so the debate here again now is over a body camera. The officer involved was not wearing one. The debate is whether he should and the Unmarked Police car that he was driving also had no dashboard camera. Very confusing story. A major shift this morning in screening for Breast Cancer. For the first time in more than a decade the American Cancer Society is recommending that most people wait until women wait until 45 to get an annual mammogram and. Good morning. Good morning. Reporter so glad youre here. I think. Reporter im 41 and not had a mammogram. Should i still get one . Absolutely you should. The guidelines are very clear that we should start screening mammograms at age 40 because there is an absolutely clearcut reduced risk of dying from age and those recommendations should not change. Reporter what is the American Cancer Society doing . Speaking out of both sides of the mouth. On the one hand, they want to reduce what they call harms related biopsies, which are unnecessary biopsies, fearing anxiety. On the other hand, they say that they stick with their mission to save lives and is there only one way to do that and that is to continue with yearly mammograms. I read every line of this. They also recommend against manual exams by your doctor. Exactly. Which ive always had in every single one of my visits. Agreed. My question is how if they are saying going to mammograms every two years and not examining yourself, how are the cancers going to be found . We will find them at the size of golf balls which is a huge step back from where we have have been. Why is screening less a good thing . Its not a good thing, gayle. Its done with two goals. I think they should be focusing their efforts elsewhere. Mammograms are a test to clearly Breast Cancer. This is not one place we should be cutting back. To be clear, insurance does cover all mammograms every cost starting at age 40 . It does but, of course, these guidelines and shifts in positions could influence that thank you. Thank you, doctor.
