Speaker 2: site of the deadly crane collapse last week. A crane

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: coming down on Friday, hitting workers doing demolition at the

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: former Exxon Mobile facility that's on Rover Street. Mayor Carlo

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: Di Maria says it appears a cable snapped on the

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: crane before it fell. Demolition is part of a major project,

10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: but that work has come to a halt out of

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: respect for the men killed and necessary repairs to the equipment.

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 2: Day twenty seven of the government shutdown and the stalemate

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill. Well, it could soon prevent you or

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 2: somebody you know from putting food on the table. ABC's

15
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: Nicole D'Antonio reports. The USDA says snap benefits will not

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: be issued November first.

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: More than forty million people that's roughly one in every

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: eight Americans are bracing to see their food assistants run

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: out later this week, creating a food crisis. Some experts

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: say could be the worse since the Great Depression, all

21
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 3: because of the government shutdown. The US Agriculture Department, which

22
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,800

Speaker 2: The Trump administration has said it will not tap into

25
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: roughly five billion dollars in contingency funds to keep that

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: SNAP benefit going. The White House, meantime, is penning the

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: blame on Democrats who are holding strong and not moving

28
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: toward a vote due to concerns over healthcare. Meantime, President

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: Trump has touched down in Japan after an eventful stop

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: in Malaysia yesterday. This is all part of a trip

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: through Asia where the President is focusing largely on commerce

32
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:44,959

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,960

Speaker 4: meet with Chinese President Xijin Ping later this week in

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 4: South Korea. I think we're going to have a successful

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 4: transaction for both continents. After meetings between US and Chinese

37
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: trade negotiators, Treasury secretaryry Scott Besson says the President's threat

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 4: to slap China with a one hundred percent tariff is

39
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 4: effectively off the table, and that China is likely to

40
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 4: remove the threat of export controls on rare earth minerals.

41
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 4: Besen says the two nations are also expected to wrap

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 4: up agreements on TikTok and US soybean exports this week.

43
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: CBS is Bradley Blackburn. The President has also said he

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: is open to meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong un.

45
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: There is speculation over whether that will actually happen during

46
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: this trip, and more questions about recent US military strikes

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: on vessels in the Caribbean Sea.

48
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: President Trump has claimed, without evidence, that the vessels were

49
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: carrying illegal drugs bound for the US. On Sixty Minutes,

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: CBS's Sharon Alfonsi asked Republican Senator Rick Scott if an

51
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: invasion of Venezuela is imminent, is the US.

52
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: Willing to put boots on the ground in Venezuela.

53
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 5: Well, I think the American public is tired of forever

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 5: wars right now, so I think it's very difficult for

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 5: US to naked commember that we're going to do something

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 5: like that.

57
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: Scott, however, said a multinational group of troops could enter

58
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: the country if needed. Christopher Cruz, CBS News.

Speaker 2: is out unpaid leave pending an investigation, but would not

101
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,760

102
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: former member of the Framingham Auxiliary Force. He was honored

103

Speaker 5: expected to make landfall as the strongest storm in this

110
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 5: country's history. A lot of people here, I don't think,

111
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 5: understand the power of what's about to hit. So they're

112
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 5: going through the same preparations that have gotten them through

113
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: storms before. But this is a different storm, and I'm

114
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 5: not sure that a lot of people realize the power

115
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 5: and the devastation that a storm of this strength can

116
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 5: actually cause.

122
