Sweeping automatic budget cuts set to take effect in just four days unless lawmakers reach a deal. Peter alexander takes a look at how it will affect everything from air travel to the food we eat. Peter, good morning to you. Reporter yeah, savannah, thats all true this morning the white house is picking up the pace of its pr offensive, rolling out reports for each of the country states and how they will be affected by its automatic budget cuts. The president will speak to the governors here in washington for their winter meetings. Republic republicans also dont like these cuts, but they accuse the president of failing to lead and ultimately its you who could be affected. At the shipyard in norfolk, virginia, 1,600 letters with possible pink slips are already in the mail while theyre waiting for washington to act. Still with the clock ticking down, no signs of progress, but plenty of dire warnings from the administration about the potential impact of the socalled sequester. Fewer fbi agents on the job. Kids kicked out of child care programs. Even meat shortages that could jack up prices with fewer inspectors working. If we dont have inspection, were not going to be working so i dont need the employees here. Reporter fewer tsa agents, fewer air traffic controller, meaning more time on the tarmac.

Just in time for spring, National Parks like yosemite will see their services cut, 700,000 Defense Department workers to take one day off a week, a 20 pay cut. Near Quantico Marine base in virginia, its already breeding anxiety. People are hunkered down, really afraid to spend any kind of money. Reporter both sides seem to agree these cuts will go into effect at the end of this week. Theres also at least some good news. Most of the layoffs and furloughs wont actually take place until a month from now. Maybe they will sort it out at some point. Peter alexander at the white house, thank you very much.

Syrian rebels do not want to go to the meeting because they are frustrated that the u. S. And europe have refused to provide arms and other aid and create a nofly zone. Secretary clinton had proposed that along with defense secretary leon panetta last year, at least proposed arming and training some rebel groups but the president rejected that plan last year.

It may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. Or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, changes in eyesight including blurry vision, muscle pain with fever, or tired feeling.

Upper body and core are no problem. As far as the knee . Mostly just moving the kneecap around so theres no scarring underneath the kneecap, getting the fluid out. Von remembers all the details of the crash. She estimates she was skiing 70 to 80 miles an hour. I just went off a jump, flew too far and landed in a pile of snow that hadnt been cleared away. And it essentially stopped my skis on impact and my knee just completely buckled. You let out a shriek. Yeah. I knew i initially thought it was going to be worse. There was so much pain that i couldnt quite tell where exactly it was coming from. Air lifted to the hospital she learned she had torn ligaments, her acl and mcl, plus a bone fracture. I knew what was wrong with me within five minutes of getting there. Everything happened pretty quick, but it was still a long time for me to think about, you know, my career and did you, did you yeah. Stop and think okay, ive broken this, torn this, got major surgery in my future. Is this the end of the career . I didnt think it was going to be the end of my career.

I always consider when i get injured, is this going to prevent me from walking when im 50 . And more headlines of the von revealed recently she struggles with depression. Im curious why you came forward. I felt like after my divorce that was something i needed to get off my chest. And i felt like i needed to tell people about it to really be able to move forward. I hope that at least one good thing about me talking about it is that other people dont feel ashamed to talk about it. No stranger to injury, she feels the Recovery Process will give her strength. I struggled definitely in the first couple of days after the injury but i have something to look forward to. And right now my goal is to be back for 2014 in sochi.

Michelle kosinski is in south africa for us. Good morning. Reporter why Oscar Pistorius hasnt shown up to meet with police or if he really has to after all. Were seeing the first images that were thinking may actually be the last known pictures captured of Reeva Steenkamp, her friends father telling a newspaper she hadnt planned on staying with pistorius that night saying im tired, its too far to drive. Ill see you tomorrow. These pictures leaked from Security Camera video show a smiling Reeva Steenkamp arriving at Oscar Pistorius gated development the evening before valentines day for what would be the last time. For three days, the stuff of global headlines, Oscar Pistorius has not set foot outside his uncles house. Awaiting army of photographers no doubt a detracter. His brother faces questions himself, facing culpable homicide, negligent homicide or manslaughter in the u. S. , stemming from a car accident six years ago in which a woman on a motorcycle died. He was charged with driving recklessly. While he was in court for his brother each day last week, standing by his side, at times comforting him, his own trial was supposed to start that thursday, but was postponed till the next month so he could support oscar. In a statement, his attorney said there is no doubt that carl is innocent. He deeply regrets the accident. Blood tests conducted by the police at the time prove that he had not been under the influence of alcohol. The deceased collided with carls car. The attention on oscars case has not let up for a moment. Friends of Reeva Steenkamp react to his release. Personally i think he deserves to stay in jail and suffer there. Reporter pistorius is free to live his life within a set of restrictions. His coach had talked about starting training again as early as today but he has chosen to stay well out of the spotlight for now in tfor the first time n many years. Not included in the final court order, which seems to be different than what prosecutors have. His spokesperson said he did meet with parole officers.

And were back now at 7 44 with a move by yahoo Ceo Marissa Mayer thats raising some eyebrows. Now her employees are being told soon they will no longer be able to work from home. Maria schiavocampo has more on this. Mara, good morning. Some are calling this a brilliant business move, others saying it could be disastrous for the struggle iing company. She shattered the Glass Ceiling as the first pregnant and under 50 ceo of a fortune 500 company. The world and the Womens Movement expected big things but probably not this. Leaking an internal memo from Human Resources that bans telecommuting saying some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions, meeting new people and impromptu team meetings. Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home. The new policy sparked intense debate, especially on twitter. Hey, marissa, 1980 just called. They want their Work Environment back, wrote one user. Mayer is trying to right a big ship. Best to bring all hands on deck and focus the crew, wrote another. Known for its Employee Perks and even yahoo gives free food and iphone 5. This more traditional move has some scratching their heads. To basically say that no working from home and pretty much no working from home ever, no matter what the circumstances are, truly makes it feel sort of like an antiparent, in many ways, antifemale workplace. Reporter the criticism wont sway mayer, who has made it clear the bottom line is her top priority. It comes with attention on everything you do. Again, i havent spent a lot of time looking at it or thinking about it. Ive really been focused on the products. Reporter some say that focus may be just what yahoo needs. If yahoo needed to cut a lot of fat and can get a bunch of people who will now walk instead of go through massive layoffs, this may go down as a very interesting management move. If those employees do walk, Experts Say Companies like google are eager to tap yahoo s top talent. When asked for a comment they said, quote, we dont comment on rumor rumors,. Matt .
