Hi, welcome to CNN Student News. It's Monday. It's Columbus Day. We have more on that coming up. It's a new week of CNN Student News. In the US, we talked about hurricanes. In the Indian Ocean, these storms are called cyclones and parts of India are recovering from the strongest cyclone to hit that country in 14 years. Tropical cyclone, Phailine, hit India's eastern coast. It was the equivalent of category 4 hurricane. At least 14 people were killed. Before the storm hit, officials have evacuated nearly a million people. They said that effort helped limit the number of casualties. Getting people back on their feet could be challenging. The cyclone damaged property. It flooded highways. It knocked down trees and power lines. In parts of Pacific Ocean, cyclones are called typhoons and at least 13 people were killed when typhoon, Narly, hit the Philippines this weekend.More than 43000 people were forced out of their homes by that storm. Back in the United States, some of the national parks and monuments closed by the partial government shutdown are starting to reopen. New York made a deal with National Park Service to fund operations at the statue of liberty. State and local funds will help reopen Grand Canyon National Park out in Arizona and in south D., M. is set to reopen first thing this morning thanks to a similar deal. But there was no deal in Washington this weekend on either the shutdown or the debt ceiling. That deadline just 3 days away and there's talking between White House, the Republican led House of Representatives and the Democratic led Senate. There's also some serious finger pointing.

"Lawmakers scurrying out of Washington even though there's no deal in place to end the partial government shutdown and avoid a possible default this week."

"My staff has every plan ready, every plan flight on the schedule. We're ready come back as soon as there's a vote."

"This thing is so fluid and so many things are changing. All I know is we got a president who does not want to negotiate."

"Perhaps a hit of defensiveness with talks between the White House and House Republicans having collapse in both sides blaming each other. Now, all eyes on the Senate and whether majority leader, Harry Reed, and minority leader, Mitch McConnel, can work out a compromise."

"The conversations were extremely c. but very preliminary of course. Nothing conclusive but I hope that talkings give some source to the American people and the world."

"But Reed is still sticking firm to key Democratic demands."

"They are not doing us a favor by opening the government, reopening the government. They are not doing us a favor by extending the debt ceiling. Those are part of our jobs."

"Meantime, Republicans accuse the president of pulling a bait and switch."

"The president apparently was not negotiating in good faith. All his really said is whatever you offer, I'm not interested in it. He's hoping to cut a deal with Senate which would I think be a terrible deal to undermine that House.
