A compromise budget deal is headed to the senate after it was overwhelmingly passed by the house. Last nights vote came after Speaker John Boehner unleashed a heated and unusual attack against conservatives who lobbied for the defeat. He accused the group of working against the interests of the republican party. Susan mcginnis is in washington. Susan, good morning. Good morning, annemarie. The house passing this budget has been a rare show of compromise here on capitol hill. The process of getting it through the house has also made very public deep division between House Republicans and House Republicans. The house easily passed the budget with bipartisan support. House Speaker John Boehner himself announced the final tally. On this vote the ayes are 332, the noes are 94. Reporter its a victory for the speaker who battled tea party aligned groups who urged the republicans to vote no. Boehner says those organizations have gone too far. They pushed us into this fight to defund obama care and shut down the government. Most of you know, my members know that wasnt exactly the strategy i had in mind. One of these groups stood up and said, well, we never really thought it would work. Are you kidding me . The conservative groups are upset the budget bill raises deficits over the first two years and argue the 23 billion it saves americans over a decade will never happen. Congressman paul ryan helped craft the agreement and says its the best one to be had. In a divided government, you dont get everything you want. But i think this bill is a firm step in the right direction. Democrats are upset the bill does not extend unemployment payments for about 1 million outofwork americans. Were happy. Were happy, but not enough to say, therefore, were going to make matters worse by not having the agreement. Now the bill heads to the senate where its expected to pass. Our budget agreement is a good first step in the right direction and im hopeful it can service a foundation for continued bipartisan work. The white house says president obama will sign the budget into law when it reaches his desk. And democrats will try again to extend the jobless benefits in a separate measure next year. Annemarie . Susan mcginnis in washington. Thank you, susan. Well, there might be more than a week left in autumn, but it already feels like the heart of winter for much of the country. Weather meteorologist Jackie Johnson has the latest details on the snowstorms to hit the midwest. Another major storm system is starting to shape up and this one will be affecting anywhere from the central u. S. All the way into new england. We will start in the midwest. By friday we could see 2 to 6 inches of snow anywhere from michigan, indiana, illinois. Now, this storm system will start to shift to the east on saturday, so from about ohio into new york, we could expect anywhere between about 5 to 10 inches of snow for the highest amounts most areas will get about 3 to 6 inches of snow as the storm system eventually moves to the northeast through new englan boston getting hit pretty hard by early sunday morning. The good news is by late sunday afternoon, the storm system will be moving out. Im Jackie Johnson for cbs news. The Associated Press reports that a retired fbi agent who disappeared in iran was on an unauthorized mission for the cia. Robert levinson vanished in 2007. For years he was described as a private citizen traveling on business but that was a cover story. An a. P. Investigation reveals that levinson was working for a team of cia analysts who had no authority to send him on a mission. The ap confirmed levinson cia ties in 2010 but delaying covering the story because the u. S. Had promising leads to get him home. Its not clear where levinson is or whether hes alive. And cbs news has learned Edward Snowden has just a small amount of classified information he has. And there is talk in some circles of granting snowden amnesty. In a report with 60 minutes john miller talked with rick ledg leggett, the man in charge of the snowden leak task force. Snowden, still believed to have access to a million and a half documents has been granted temporary asylum in moscow, which leaves the u. S. With few options. Hes already said if i got amnesty, i would come back. Given the potential damage to national security, what would your thought on making a deal be . My personal view is, yes, its worth having a conversation about. I would need assurances that the remainder of the data could be secured. And my bar for those assurances would be very high. It would be more than just an assertion on his part. Is that a unanimous feeling . Its not unanimous. Among those who thing its a bad idea is leggetts boss, general alexander. This is analogous to a hostage taker taking hostages, shooting ten and saying if you give me full amnesty, ill let the others go. What do you do. Its a dilemma. It is. Do you have a pick . I do. I think people have to be held accountable for their actions because what we dont want is the next person do the same thing, head off into moscow knowing that they can strike the same deal. You can see john millers full report on this sundays 60 minutes here on cbs. In a stunning turn of events, the uncle of north koreas leader kim jongun has been executed.

Coming up on the morning news well take you to pretoria where mourners have one last day toed by farewell to Nelson Mandela. This is the cbs morning news. An irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. That puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. For years, jims medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. But now, with onceaday xarelto®, jims on the move. Jims doctor recommended xarelto®. Like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. But xarelto® is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. That doesnt require routine blood monitoring. So jims not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. Not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the Healthy Foods he likes. Do not stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. Get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. Talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you have abnormal bleeding. Xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. You are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. Jim changed his routine. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. Once a day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring no known dietary restrictions. For more information and savings options, call 1888xarelto or visit goxarelto. Com.
