jim akos to tells us the road ahead may not be easy one. reporter: listening to president obama chatting with the italian prime minister it sounded as if he was ready for a vacation in tuscany. you don t have to twist my arm to come to tuscany sometime in the near future. reporter: the president doesn t have room on his plate for pasta not after passing a budget for immigration and farm bill in less than 90 days. we could get them done by the end of the year if our focus is on what is good for the american people. reporter: a task the president may have made more difficult for himself after railing against republicans over the shutdown. you don t like a particular policy or a particular president? then argue for your position. go out there and win an election. reporter: but he may get help from senate minority leader mitch mcconnell who told oil the hill newspaper the following. former gop vice presidential candidate paul reyan called for bipartisanship. tell that to texas senator ted cruz whose office told cnn he is not ruling out another shutdown. the president could also have a fight on his hands over his next pick for secretary of homeland security, jay johnson, a former military lawyer and obama campaign fund-raiser said at a conference earlier this year, the day will come when the world must consider the war against al qaeda over. we must no longer consider ourselves against al qaeda and affiliated groups and i think benefit ghazi is what i m talking about. you can t label the benghazi attack as something conducted by al qaeda and associated forces. it was more of a mixed bag. reporter: and that is not all. the administration still has to fix the health care website glitches. nobody is more insistent on that work being done and the experience be proofed than the president. reporter: jim acosta, cnn, washington. federal workers are now getting back to work today that the shutdown is over. many have returned but, of course, being gone for more than two weeks means there is quite a backlog to catch up on. there s a lot of e-mails and a lot of things i have to do as far as closing out last year performance wise and starting up the new year. quite a few things we have to do to get back to order. it will probably take a week where we should be and then take care of the new stuff we have to handle. tourists are said to be flocking back to the national park and museums now that they are open. some report their traffic ka down a lot by the shutdown. they too are ecstatic this whole thing is over. a as jim acosta mentioned one person pledged to continue to fight is ted cruz. he was a proponent of the shutdown arguing it was the right tool to help bring an end to obama care. his popularity among tea party supporters is soaring. but in texas, the feeling is decidedly more mixed. ed lavandera has that. reporter: ted cruz is either a gallant fighter of conservative values or a disruptive political scoundrel, just depends on your point of view. i think he is an idiot and no not on the side of voters and not for the state of texas. i like his stance. he doesn t care what anybody thinks and you know where he is coming from and that is refreshing. reporter: cruz is the most talked about politician in texas right now but when the dust settles how will the shutdown and debt ceiling standoff affect ted cruz s popularity in his home state? people don t know what to do about ted cruz especially those around plxs for a long time. reporter: the fight has alienated some. the houston chronicle newspaper endorsed ted cruz for senator last year but in a new editorial, the newspaper says cruz is a part of the problem in washington. the is not who is in washington one year is unfazed. that was remarkable to see the house engaged in a profile in courage. reporter: that doesn t sit well with joe barton of texas. i respect ted cruz, he is my junior senator but i agree with you. reporter: he is controversial and brash and even those cruz s reputation might be scarred on a national level, some say it only helps cruz with texas voters. ted cruz has a lot of support among hard-core tea party supporters and a lot of them in texas so he has long support in republican pry maerms where the hard-core come out so he is likely to be senator a long time. reporter: ted cruz was elected senator by right winging tea party supporters. now consider this. every texas republican in congress voted against the budget deal to reopen the federal government, just like ted cruz. for many texas republican voters like francisco gonzalez, ted cruz in your face style makes him popular. he has awakened the people and whether they agree with him or disagree with him, it s conversation that needed to be had. reporter: other republican voters like ron shipp are angry at cruz. he has done real damage to the country and our economy and our standing international and the republican party. reporter: an old texas politician used to say there is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos. ted cruz doesn t play in the middle of the road. workers for one key part of san francisco s public transit system. members of two unions have served bay area rapid transit walked off the job after last-minute negotiations failed to reach a deal over salary and benefits. a similar walkout in july left b.a.r.t. viewers. some san francisco viewers are tweeting about this so they are up late watching the show. how do they feel about this? not pleased. can you repeat what they said? no. big tie-ups there and they also said they liked our sew. you re missing the big picture here. thank you for sharing. 8:00 minutes past the hour. new developments in edward snowden. former nsa contractor is breaking his silence and giving an extensive interview to the new york times from russia about leaking his documents and talking about what he has in his possession right now. phil black is live in moscow this morning. what does he have? reporter: he is responding what has been one of the most consistent criticisms of his action. by traveling to russia and seeking asylum has become an intelligence asset for russia. the documents he has in his possession or information he knows would have been available to russian spy agencies. in an interview to the new york times he says that is not possible because he didn t bring anything with him. he said all of the classified documents he had were left with journalists in hong kong. and he says that those documents were left there. there are no copies and no value in that and to quote, he says it wouldn t serve the public interest. he also said that information wouldn t be available to china s spies because he knows the technical capabilities so he was able to secure that information from them. so he is sure that russia and china have got zero information from him. it fits what his father said to me here in moscow when he was visiting his son earlier this week. i asked him what contact his son had had with russia spy agencies and he said none, he said that edward had assured him that no security or intelligence organization from any country had debriefed him since he fled the united states. phil, what happens now with snowden? reporter: well, he still here in russia. his location is a secret. his father says he intends to remain here for some time, at least he says he is safe, happy, free. he says he doesn t have to work because he has a strong support network here, both people here in russia. he talked about other people in other countries as well but he couldn t go into details on that. he said his son will no longer do any more leaking. he is done with that but he wants to remain part of the ongoing conversation in electronic surveillance and privacy situations in america. phil black, thank you. a federal air marshal is under arrest accusing to take pictures of young women under their skirts as they boarded a plane. the man admitted taking the pictures and barch has been ordered with disorderly conduct and taken off the job. a mother s voice now the key tool in trying to locate that little boy. he is a missing autistic boy. avonte oquendo disappeared in new york but people hope he will come when he hears his mother s voice. hi, avonte. it s mom. vans playing that particular message have spread out across the neighborhood where he disappeared. these surveillance images were taken moments before he disappeared from school. he has not been seen since. i got to say there are signs, posters up everywhere. that s is what we were talking about in makeup this morning. they said everywhere. the train stations, you cannot walk around here without seeing a picture of that little boy. you hear people talking about it too. you have a city on the hunt right now. let s hope they find him soon. another story out of new york city that is troubling. police say a suspected sh shop-lifter what she was carrying around in a bag appears to be the remains of a baby. a security guard stopped the 17-year-old and a friend and called police. responding officers made this gruesome discovery and say rodriguez told them she had a miscarriage the day before and the medical examiner is investigating. a bill to compensate the victims of ariel castro is one step closer to being law now. the survivors abduction act passed a committee vote in the ohio statehouse on wednesday. it was introduced after michelle knight, gina de hjesus and amana berry. measure would provide each $25,000 for each year of captivity. this man now faces 293 counts, including murder, rape and kidnapping. police say he strangled pamela pemberton in 1974 and indicted in the murder of an 18-year-old christina atkins who went missing in 1995. the family hopes this will now bring them some closure. let s get an early look on the our weather with karen maginis. you know it s a friday. if there is any kind of a weather hiccup that will influence the delays at the major airports like that i-95 corridor, new york s metro airports in chicago, boston all going to be affected by some wind or maybe visibility problems. even denver could see a little bit of snowfall. a little bit. maybe an inch or less. but we have got these reinforcing shots of cool air. they are making its way across the midwest with temperatures 40s, 50s, kansas city, 49 and chicago 45 and wind gusts new york city 25 miles an hour and 67 degrees coming up. let s hope for good weekend weather. i have a nice story to report right now. about midnight last night it all happened the red sox now just one win away from the american league pennant. they beat the tigers 4-3 in the fifth game of the alcs. look what mike napoli does to a baseball right there. cool and unusual punishment. he sends that thing 460 feet into the ivy in dead center field. that is is crushing a ball, folks. that put the red sox up 1-0. they were actually up 4-0 at one point in this game but the tigers fought back. this was a really, really tight game and really tight this is a high level of gamesmanship going on and thick beards to boot. game six is tomorrow night, game seven will be sunday night in boston, if necessary. red sox win one of these games they are going to the world series. that is exciting. you have twin boys. i do. i believe they are going to be sports broadcasters in the future?
