Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning. Police say a woman brought her 7monthold baby here to San Francisco General Hospital early this morning. Its unclear exactly what was wrong with that child but we do understand the baby died, was pronounced dead at the hospital, just after midnight. As we watched police towing away a white car from the hospital parking, we understand that car is related to the case. Its unclear who the car belongs to. The baby arrived here at the hospital just about 12 30 or so this morning. The medical examiner was called out not long after that and investigators determined the death of this child was suspicious. Police are only saying its a 7 monthold baby. We dont know if it was a bay or a girl. The cause of death remains unclear. The detectives were here at the emergency room this morning. At the same time, police secured a louse on monterey boulevard just off 280 in San Francisco. Earlier this morning, crime scene tape was put up across the front entrance at that location and police say that scene is connected to the death of this baby. Right now, homicide investigators are interviewing the babys mother. They are also talking to other family members and trying to get a sense of what was going on last night early this morning, as this child was brought here to the hospital and they are trying to understand how this 7monthold baby wound up dead. Live in San Francisco, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. Thank you, alex. Republicans, including john boehner, are talking about the Government Shutdown. This is the eighth day. No progress appears to have been made. These are some Republican Leaders who are speaking. Lets listen in. That keep critical portions of the federal government open, nearly half of the federal government now, we have passed the bills in the house to open up the federal government and yet the senate refuses to act. Thats not leadership. Leadership is not leadership is when you say you are not gonna negotiate, thats not leadership or you say that they are just holding the United States hostage, thats not leadership. Leadership is certainly not when you are not willing to address the big issues, the major issues that face the country. Were lengthed to govern and elected to govern and make the decisions and they want to take the easy way out. Thats not not acceptable to us or the american people. You are listening live.

The measure is expected to provide enough borrowing room to last beyond next years election. We are expected to hit the debt ceiling on october 17th last week.

Last night, Union Leaders announced they would not be issuing a 72hour strike notice. Theyve always on that in the past. So a lot of folks are thinking that perhaps the two sides might be closer to ironing out a deal. Now, last night in oakland, the negotiators left the building very quietly and that is because both sides are not saying much to the media because of this gag order issued by the mediator. Experts say that silence about closed door talks is usually an indication that a deal is closer. Although, a gag order earlier this summer didnt make much of a difference at the bargaining table.
