Now to avoid a government shut down. With three days left things still very much in the air. Peter alexander is here in new york with us this morning. Up in the air is nicely. This the a mess at this point. The senate is going to vote to avoid a shut down but House Republicans arent buying this. Congress is going to have its hands full this weekend trying to cut a deal to avoid a Government Shutdown on tuesday, october 1st, and this battle could easily go down to the final minutes. Reporter with the country teetering on the brink of a Government Shutdown tensions are boiling over. A rare fight between republicans on the senate floor. The question i would pose to my senator from tennessee. Reporter with bob corker accusing ted cruz and mike lee of delaying a vote for their own selfpromotion. The reason were waiting is that yall have sent out releases and emails and you want everybody to be able to watch. Reporter president obama hit the road and hit back at opponents of his healthcare law with enrollment for uninsured americans set to begin tuesday. Whatever effect obamacare might have on the economy, it is far less than even a few days of Government Shutdown. Reporter but the president s critics found new ammunition citing glitches. The first impacting Small Business owners unable to complete their insurance Applications Online until november. A second delay effecting Spanish Speaking applicants. The white house saying that enrollment website wont be ready for a few more weeks. With three days ready for washington to overt a shut down, the function is already having a Ripple Effect across the country. The manager of this beach front bike shop outside san diego says a customer who is in the navy and fears he might not get paid in a shutdown recently asked for a refund on a brand new scooter. Were not entirely worried about going out of business but the business that we need from the Service Members that live here is going to dramatically probably hit us.

Reporter the nsa for the first time admits some employees have spied on their girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands and wives listening to phone calls and checking emails without any valid foreign intelligence purpose. Its called loveint, collecting intelligence on love interests and a new letter documents a dozen cases since 2003. Whats clear about the instances of abuse is these have nothing to do with terrorism. This is about individuals prying into the private lives of the people closest to them. In one case an nsa employee improperly snooped for five years on the phone calls of 9 female foreign nationals. Another nsa employee admitted it was her practice to eavesdrop on phone numbers she obtained in social settings. A male employee eavesdropped on his foreign girlfriends phone calls thinking she was involved with people that might get him in trouble and a female employee listened in on her husbands phone call suspected he had been unfaithful. Nsa director Keith Alexander played down the incidents saying they amounted to one per year. The press claimed evidence of thousands of privacy violations. This is false and misleading. In almost all of the cases the love struck employees resigned before discipline could be imposed and no one was criminally prosecuted. All right. Thank you.

It was the end of an era last night as a player known as the greatest closer of all time played his final game at yankee stadium. Mariano rivera retiring. He was overcome by emotion as two of his long time teammates made a special trip to the mound to help him off there. Well, the fivetime world champ later came back to the mound to collect a little dirt to take with him. Obviously he deserved the whole stadium in my book. It is now 7 13 and savannah, willie, al, you dont have to be a yankees fan to appreciate. Im a Texas Rangers fan and i was misty eyed. So much was said without a word. Just the expressions on the faces. Even matt lauer was moved to tweet. Thank you mariano. Still wiping away the tears. So much class. We thought he would close the game but when peter and pettit come out. Thats what it means. The players live up to all of our hopes. Congratulations to him. A beautiful night for one of the great players of all time. Not a great day in arizona. They had a massive dust storm. This is casa grande in arizona, 14 mile stretch of road had to be closed after massive fender benders. Thankfully nobody is seriously injured in all of this but, boy, what a mess. We have a mess continuing today in that part of the country. We are looking at a risk of strong storms today stretching into garden city, amarillo on into lubbock. Damaging wind gusts. Some hail is expected. Well have showers and thunderstorms firing up. Snow up into parts of wyoming. These heavier thunderstorms will move in here bringing anywhere from one to two inches of rain over the next 24 hours. Were going to get to your local forecast in the next 30 seconds.

Low gray cloudsed and a cool start to this region. Around the region temperatures generally in the 50s in the metro area but still clear around the Shenandoah Valley and much of West Virginia where its down in the 40s. Later today we ought to get sunshine breaking out around much of the region with highs reaching low to mid70s and a beautiful we and thats your latest weather. All right, al, thanks a lot. We have extraordinary news about one of the worlds most iconic building. Its still moving but not in the way you might expect. Michelle kosinski is there. Good morning. The assumption is always that its leaning more and more all the time, right . Well, about a decade ago major protective work was finished on it and now the tower is actually moving in the other direction, continuing to straighten up on its own. Oh, for every one of those pictures, the Leaning Tower, nearly 1,000 year olds still attracts amateur special effects enthusiasts like a dysfunctional magnet. All 300 narrow stairs worn and polished through time to the very top. Once you get to about step 100 you start to feel it. Youre upright and not falling over but something definitely feels a little off. Reporter but what the tower is not still doing, leaning. Really . Reporter at least not actively. In fact, after its worst period in the 1990s when the beautiful tower was in severe danger of toppling and scientists used cables, soil extraction in a desperate bid to save it, the tower has actually been moving the other way. We went to find the top engineers up several more flights of stairs. So as we speak, the tower is ever so slowly straightening up . Yes. Yes. More on less two millimeters per year. Reporter in the last decade it gained nearly an inch and would you believe it moves every day. People dont budge it but the sun straightens it even more. Sunny days, cloudy day, rainy day. Totally awesome. Reporter even impressing these chicago honeymooners. It might be straighter by the time you get to the bottom of it. Ill have to carry you. You guys arent going to make out or anything are you. Leaning or not youd be happy with it . Absolutely. Its a beautiful monument. I like the lean better. This is extremely slight but scientists think it will keep straightening for about the next 100 years and then stabilize for 200 years after that and then will probably start leaning again but dont worry, it will look just like this. There, yeah. All right. [ applause ] we were looking for it michelle. Michelle. It looks like a green screen. It does. Anybody else kind of sad about the Leaning Tower of pisa . The straight standing up tower of pisa doesnt have the strange. Well be dead. I want it to lean. Were all dying so al, thanks for the happy thought. Dont worry about that long range forecast. Wow.
