Indian coastline. Good to have you with us. In washington, focus shifted to the impasse. The talks came after Senate Democrats rejected a republican bill to temporarily raise the debt limit and fund the governmental. Afterwards, senator harry reid spoke about his history with Senate Minority leader Mitch Mcconnell and how that might impact steps going forward. Senator mcconnell and i have been in this body a long time, weve done things in the body together, i know him, he knows me, we dont agree on everything, and that is probably an understaple, but we were whirps together. Togetherwhips together, we revamped government together as whips. If we have political sciernts out there now, this is a class case of what Political Science is all about. We have had too little sitting down trying to work out problems. Thats what were doing now. What seems to be a pattern here, day 12 ended with a lot of call and very little action. John terrett are reports from capitol hill. It was a very are productive meeting with president obama and the white house. Democrats are willing to negotiate on everything that the republicans want to discuss as soon as we reopen the government and pay our bills. Harry reed, dick durbin, patty murray who is a democrat from washington state. The meeting was an update for the president , senior democrats and Senior Republicans to discuss a possible way forward. Afterwards, harry reid said the meeting was actually farrell productive. However he was unable to prevent a vote going down in the senate designed to lift the debt ceiling limit. Also an idea put forward by the republican senator Susan Collins of maine, that failed also, she put her suggestion forward, amending part of the Affordable Care act. Are hoping that her idea may yet become a light at the end of the tunnel. On sunday, washington, nothing from the house. The senate convenes at 1 00. John terrett once again on capitol hill. As the debate continues on raising the debt limit there are a few key things to watch for. On october 17th, the cash will run out sometime between october 22nd and the end of the month. Social security and ved ranls pay could be veterans pay could be put on hold. On november 1st 60 billion is due for benefit programs. With no increase, those payments could be delayed another two weeks. And on november 15th another 22 billion of interest is due. A default could very well happen. For some perspective on the impact this shutdown is having on the Political Landscape earlier i talked with thomas frank, hes a clo columnist with harpers magazine. I asked him who the perspective is like as the stalemate continues. Things are plummeting in the polls, the Republican Party looks worse than it has ever looked. You know at the same time obamacare remains fairly unpopular, certain of the details about it. On the other hand certain parts of it are immensely popular. They have a theory that if they allow obamacare to get up and get going it will turn out to be very popular. And it will win people over and people will discover that they really like having guaranteed you know Health Insurance and you know i suspect theyre right about that. I some people would really like that and they are determined to stop it before it gets going, thats why theyre doing it. About a dozen Iconic National parks are going to be allowed to reopen, despite the shutdown however states will have to foot the bill. How much tourist money they would lose. 401 parks are closed and the average tourists who go to them every day is 450,000, and the local communities have lost 76 million put together. Take a look at these numbers, Acadia National park in maine is losing more than 5 million the everglades, almost 4 million. And grand canyon is losing almost 10 million a day. Mt. Rushmore is one of the parks reopening. Jim hooly has more. The government shut down the park closing down the governor agreeing state dollars to open the National Park here today so that means essentially it will be taxpayers whoor footing the bill. In arizona the grand canyon is opened once again. The state greatd to pay 650,000 to agreed to pay 650,000 to keep it open another week. The to deprive tourists worldwide to see this magnificent landscape. With thousands of jobs in Northern Arizona dependent on the canyon and the tourists who visit it thats a bargain that the state wirlg t willing to ma. Layer in colorado the tourists are already back to estes park, a relief to businesses that depend on tourism. Thats the draw for people to come to estes. Without the park estes park wouldnt be here. A month ago the devastating flood closed most of the roads leading here. It was hard to believe, it was too good to be true. To reopen the park taxpayers in colorado will pay 40,000 a day. Some reopgd reopenings are moret symbolism. Thats why taxpayers will pay 61,000 a day to reopen the statue of liberty. Miss out on the tour irs dollars that could be flowing through natural attractions like this. Jim hooley, estes park, colorado. Park Police Summoned a group of are officers to man the symbol, strl closed. A glitch in the foot stamp system has now been fixed. Shoppers in 17 states noticed their ebt cards were not working today. Xerox corp assisted that it was a failure. A massive cyclone packing heavy rains and descruc, the extent oe will not be fully known until sunday but large scale power outages, roadblockages and damage to crops is expected. In 1999 a cyclone with similar winds instruct this area. For phailins track Rebecca Stevenson. 25 of 36 storms have developed in the bay of bengal exactly where phailin developed. Into india earlier today bringing at least eight inches of rain to the coast, despite the rain the storm surge and all this heavy rain. Now were seeing phailin move inlan and expected to see that happen as we put the satellite into motion. You can see as it moves onshore it actually begins to weaken and move onshore, classified as a tropical storm. We do have problems with mudslides expected throughout the course of the day. It is not only phailin, but we have damage and flooding here, typhoon nari, equivalent of a category 2 hurricane, headed towards danang. About the same time we get a third storm coming in towards the coast of japan. You could see areas in the brightest red, thats where weve had rainfall well above normal and thats exactly where phailin is moving into india and that is also where we are tracking that typhoon nari to move in. As we get that area around japan we have concerns around fukushima heavy rain and flooding near mayor Nuclear Plant site. Well have more on the weather coming up. Feiz jalil, what is the platest there . Well, actually late last night we were spared so we got heavy rains and then late in the middle of the night it just suddenly stopped. Bright skies, daytime, half the clouds are gone, the electricity is still out in the region but what we are hearing is that most of the damage has been in the neighboring state of odisha, about 100 miles where i am. Three people have died, many trees have been fallen over or flipped over. Were still not getting lots of reports because it is still hard to reach many of the communities in that area. We know half a million have been evacuated. Do we know whats happened to those who chose to stay behind . What were hearing is theres no casualties in this region. Not everyone has been to every community so theres no confirmation yet. The neighboring state of odisha we are not getting reports. Power has been out, even our generator has been going off and on. But we were hitting wind speeds of 140 miles an hour in the state of odisha. There is that state where we still cant get information from where we might have serious consequences. Faiz what can you tell us about the government response . Well, this time around it was much more in advance than it was in 1999. Modern technology the government knew several days in advance and even on thursday they were evacuating people from the coast into inplanned shirlts. Now al jazeera visited one of these communities and we found the fishermen were there and they didnt know about any government shelters. If they did they would go there because the people all along the coast that were most at risk even by a mild storm which might have happened here. And the thing is though there are hundreds of these communities all along the coast, hundreds of miles through to odisha so to find what happened to all of them will take at least a couple of dares. That raises the greater question, what are you hearing from the locals. Are they satisfied with the Emergency Response or preparedness . Well, many locals here werent taking the storm that seriously. They werent comparing this to 1999. They were comparing to the storms they have had every few years. They said they werent affected before. The crops, banana trees and rice, had been affected, were not sure how extensive the damage is but even a mild amount of damage would have serious consequences, not only to the local economy but to the local food supply in this area. Faiz jamil, certainly appreciate the update. We want to take you across the world if you will, we want to take you to chile where there are massive protests, violent protests in fact. Take a look at this right here. Police used Water Cannons among other tactics to force the breakup of the demonstration of the mapuche indians against the columbus day holiday, which celebrates the discovery of are the americas by columbus.

A firsthand look at the effort to keep tomorrows race in chicago safe. The entire thing. Can congress say the same . Radio welcome back. In afghanistan, security talks didnt make much headway. There is still no deal about how long u. S. Troops will stay in the country. After three rounds of negotiations, secretary of state john kerry and afghan President Hamid karzai were unable to hammer out agreements. Secretary kerry says the major issues that were blocking a Security Agreement between the two countries have been bypassed here. The two major Sticking Points whether u. S. Forces could carry out operations here independently has apparently been sofd in solved in that u. S. Forces will ask for afghan permissions before they undertake any operations here and the other Sticking Point, president karzai had asked for security in the event it had problems with its neighbors. The two gentlemen have apparently come upon a definition of what attack means. Secretary kerry says they have agreement where president karzai can take to the national simply of the country, people in disagreement that will take the relationship of the United States and afghanistan beyond 2014 when the nato mission ends. One thing that may be a Sticking Point when that durga meets, if a soldier commits a crime in that country, he is subject to be punished under the laws of the United States. That is what the ughts would like to happen United States would like to happen. In afghanistan that has not been decided yet. That will be decided with the durga but without that no Security Agreement, means no u. S. Forces here beyond 2014. Once again Jennifer Glasse in kabul.

The world as solar challenge kicked off in darwin five days ago and crossed the finish line in adelaide australia. As we go around the world, there is a slight delay. Andrew, who took the lead this year . We will be asking the members of the milk to move away so we can get the drivers in and shortly well, welcome to adelaide. Im not quite sure, there is a lot of noise here a lot of atmosphere. We are here with more than 40 cars that completed this solar challenge. They started their journey in darwin in the far north of australia, they traveled more than 3,000 kilometers across the australian outback and and he up here in adelaide on the south coast. They averaged about 125, 130 kilometers an hour. And some of them managed it in 33 hours. Im pleased to say that the leading american car from the university of stanford is this one right here. It completed the journey in 39 hours and wesley ford is the team leader for that team. Wesley, quite an achievement to have got here at all. What was the toughest part of the race . So far building a vehicle that can run on sun power but still go across the entire outback. We were able to cruise at highway speeds for a very efficient vehicle. What happens when the sun doesnt are shine . The fifth day it was raining. Fortunately apologize we lost the shot from adelaide. If we get it back well pass it along to you. Congratulations to the winner. Coming up on al jazeera america, more on the controversy surrounding the technology of drones. Typewriters are still being used in one country. Well tell you why. Victoria azarenko [[voiceover]] every day, events welcome back to al jazeera america. Im thomas drayton. The headlines, the focus has shifted to end the impasse. Talks came after Senate Democrats rejected a republican bill to end the Government Shutdown and extend the nations debt limit. The senate will resume talks tomorrow. Despite the Government Shutdown some National Parks including the statue of liberty, Mount Rushmore and yellowstone National Park are reopening. A bill to reimburse the states is under consideration. A powerful cyclone packing heavy rains and destructive winds struck indias eastern coastline. At least three people are dead. According to the Typhoon Center the storm is packing winds of 115 miles per hour. Drones are being used in a variety of ways from reconnaissance and combat to research. The number of uses of doans grows. A big focus of Drone Research these days is autonomy, enabling the drone to operate on its own. Researchers are making strides in two areas, path planning and task organization. Path planning, determining the shortest route between two points or the possibility of detection by a adversary. Task allocation, allowing the drone decide by itself what it needs to do to accomplish its task. Earlier i spoke to Missy Cummings who has been researching the drones since she was a female Fighter Pilot in the late 1980s. I asked her if she was surprised by all the negative attention that droangs have drones have received. Im not really surprised. Theres an innate fear that humans have that somehow the world is changing rapidly by machines. I think its important to recognize that people feel uncomfortable as technology starts to push forward in ways weve not seen before. But theres no argument that drones in lots of applications like crop dusting they are far superior and can beat human capabilities. And so for those applications we absolutely should replace human pilots. What do you think drives that fear . Do you think its a concern that these drones will spy on americans . Do they have a misunderstanding what these drones can actually do . I think we do in america particularly as opposed to other countries. I do think we value our autonomy more and we dont like like like the idea of being on camera all the time. Particularly in europe where people are used to being on camera all the time. Its not that big a deal. Were still very
