treasured american monuments. but there are still so many burning questions around this nation tonight. what about the cost of the 16-day spectacle and what about the man who led the shutdown forces, will he try to do it again? abc's chief white house correspondent jonathan karl had a chance to ask just that in an abc news exclusive. >> reporter: vice-president biden dropped by the the epa this morning to greet returning federal workers. the shutdown ended after president obama stared down house republicans, re-opening the government without making any of the big changes to obama care they demanded. but he is not declaring victory. >> let's be clear. there are no winners here. >> reporter: no winners indeed. the 16 day shutdown cost by one estimate $24 billion and hurt u.s. credibility around the world. the president placed 100 percent of the blame on republicans. >> you don't like a particular policy or a particular

president, then argue for your position. go out there and win an election. push to change it. but don't break it. >> reporter: the showdown left the republican party battered in the poles with party leaders placing the blame on senator ted cruz who kicked off the showdown with his nearly 22-hour talk-a-thon last month against obama care. in an exclusive interview with abc news today cruz was as defiant as ever. >> you would do it again? >> i would do anything and i will continue to do anything i can to stop the train wreck that is obama care. i think our focus should not be on d.c. politics. it should be on the people who are getting hurt. >> i got a question this because people hated this shutdown. they hated this impasse and this was seen as the ted cruz shutdown, you more than any single individual were seen as the one who triggered this crises to begin with. >> i agree that a lot of d.c. politicians tried to call it that and the media did, too. >> to the public opinion

nationally. >> let me be very clear. i said throughout this we shouldn't have a shutdown. i don't wanted a shutdown. >> but there wouldn't have been a shut if you hadn't gone with the strategy of saying we're not going to fund the government for six weeks -- >> there never would have been a shutdown if harry reid and president obama said we will not negotiate. shut the government down. >> reporter: ted cruz won't rule out a government shut. republican leaders are emphatic this won't happen again. mitch mcconnell said today, this is an old kentucky saying, there is no education in the second kick of a mule. >> the second kick of a mule. got to love kentucky tonight anyway. thank you, jon. so what does congress do after the shutdown? law makers simply cleared out of washington. the house will return after five days. the senate will return after more than a week. speaker of the house john boehner spotted boarding a plane to ohio.

as they travel, one of their colleagues issued a kind of challenge. he is giving his pay back to the u.s. government for those 16 days of gridlock. abc's jeff zeleny decided to ask others if they'll do the same. >> reporter: this morning congressman frank loblando sent the treasury department a check for 5,124.09. he enclosed a note. the check is a repayment of my salary incurred during the 16 day period of the partial government shutdown. >> i come home every weekend. i have to look people in the eye. the idea of me keeping the money was unconscionable. >> reporter: since it was congress shutting the government down one of the questions you asked us should they get paid. some law makers were defiant. >> are you going to keep your salary? >> i'm going to keep my salary. >> i'm going to continue to take my salary. >> i'm working. everybody that gets paid for working. >> reporter: now that the shutdown is history, how many

congress members will do what frank loblando dp and give their paychecks back? >> we wanted to ask law makers but on the day the government turned on, congress took off, the hall ways here on capitol hill empty. >> reporter: we picked up the phones. abc news called or e-mailed every office of senators who voted no on re-opening the government. >> is the senator planning on cutting a check to the treasury. >> 33 percent said they would donate theirs to charity. chris collins of new york is giving his to the boy scouts. only 13 members said they were keeping their salaries. a spokesman for jim bridenstine from oklahoma said he worked harder than ever during the shutdown. congressman loblando has this message. >> every member is going to have to go back to their constituents and look them in the eye and be able to tell them what they did and why they did it. >> if you want to know if your member of congress give up their paycheck, tweet your zip code to

hashtag ask abc to find out. now to riveting new pictures inside that mall as ordinary shoppers realized terrorists were descending from the aisles of the stores. as you know it happened in kenya. tonight abc's chief investigative correspondent brian ross says another threat of an attack on a mall is looming. >> reporter: the new video first broadcast by cnn shows the panic as the mall shoppers realized what was happening. and then the callous rampage of the gunman. one victim is shot as he cowers in fear. others scramble for safety. only four gunmen are seen on the video. one is seen escorting an injured teenager out of the supermarket. at another point, they stop the killing to take turns praying. >> they're carrying it appears ak-47s. probably automatic versions. they're in the middle of shooting people talking on the cell phone. >> reporter: u.s. officials believe the men behind the attack were part of an al qaeda connected group in somalia.

u.s. navy s.e.a.l.s unsuccessfully tried to capture one of the group's leaders one week ago. now the u.s. is issuing a warning to americans that the group may be planning another attack on another mall, in one in the african country of uganda. >> we put out the statement because of information available. in terms of the expense fisty of that i'm not going to comment on that. >> reporter: shortly after the attack several said one of the attackers was a woman. but the new video shows only men with guns. security experts continue to be amazed that four men could hold off kenyan police and army forces for almost three full days. in fact, the fbi is now screening news video taken of shoppers fleeing the mall to see if any other attackers were able to slip out during the panic and now could be part of the planning for yet another mall

massacre. >> and another warning is going out. >> that's right. >> thank you, brian ross. one more note today. the president is going to nominate j. johnson as the next homeland security chief. johnson, a former general council for the defense department will follow in the footsteps of janet napolitano. she resigned in july. from homeland security to the nationwide manhunt tonight for two killers who simply walked out of a prison in florida. both were sentenced to life behind bars until a clever stunt sent them free. abc's justice department correspondent pierre thomas shows us how they escaped in plain sight. >> reporter: we've seen daring escapes like this one in arkansas where an inmate jumps through a tiny jailhouse window and dashes away. tonight u.s. marshals and florida state police are looking for these two murders who escaped in a unique, clever fashion.

in 1998 joseph jenkins killed a father of six children in orlando. charles walker fatally shot a 23-year-old man in orange county a year later. they should be serving life sentences but they walked out of this florida prison free because someone tricked corrections officials. someone filed these fake documents with a florida court clerk who then sent the paperwork ordering the state corrections department to release the inmates. the documents look like the real thing with a judge's signature cut and pasted from a real court order. the alleged forged signature is that of chief judge melvin perry who oversaw the casey anthony missing child case. >> i've never seen anything like this. you have to give them an a for being imaginative and effective. >> reporter: the alleged forgeries may reveal a gaping hole in the nation's judicial system where fake papers could result in a get out of jail card for violent offenders.

walker had a head start since october 8th, more than a week ago. >> people are scared to death. >> they could be anywhere but they had to have somebody to help them. >> reporter: did the inmates have help from someone on the inside? and are there other dangerous criminals out there released with fake court orders? pierre thomas, abc news, washington. next to arkansas and video of a hijacked school bus with children on board. watch as the convoy of police cars chase after the bus today. a man with a knife jumped on board and threatened the driver, 11 children were on that bus. the chase lasted 20 minutes. the man was arrested after he finally let the bus pull over and no one was hurt. police say the driver was heroic, doing everything right to drive safely and keep those children calm. and a new survey out tonight, a kind of sign of the times. it shows that women are increasingly doing something unimaginable a few decades ago, giving up their eggs and donating them to other women for

other families. a new report in the journal of the american medical association found a significant increase in the number of women donating eggs to help infertile couples conceive. donor eggs for in vitro increasing 70 percent between the year 2000 and 2010. there is another interesting cultural moment today, a controversy erupting about comedian melissa mccarthy on the cover of "elle magazine." what about her picture is creating the big stir? abc's linsey davis has the answer and the debate. >> reporter: a trench coat on a magazine cover has likely never been so entrenched in controversy. "elle magazine" is getting slammed, many saying actress melissa mccarthy is too covered up on the cover of its annual women in hollywood issue. sarah maria is a body image expert. >> the real message is if you are large, keep yourself covered up. >> reporter: some accuse elle of

draping her in the largest coat possible. others call the cover depressing and nothing to celebrate. another tweet, god forbid a big woman be sexy. on other covers of the november issue, reese witherspoon is in this black dress. on "the view" today co-host jenny mccarthy defended melissa mccarthy who happens to be her cousin. >> the thing that drives me nuts is people are saying how dare you. mccarthy girls, no one is going to make us wear anything we don't want to wear. >> reporter: similarly, elle is making no apologies. telling abc news melissa loved this look and is gorgeous on our cover. when she appeared on this cover of "good housekeeping," her body was obscured by a present. on the covers of moore, the hollywood reporter and ladies home journal her body is nowhere to be seen.

it over the side of the head to get it to let go. as soon as i get it to let go, another one went to lung at me and all i thought to do was to swing and knock it to keep it from jumping at me again. >> reporter: he managed to fight them off. while wildlife experts say attacks like this are rare, cities around the country are seeing more coyote encounters. in denver alone there were two reports of aggressive coyotes towards humans in 2007, 12 so far this year. in part because of suburban sprawl into what used to be wildlife territory and people feeding coyotes like pets. so close. in 2007 a coyote wandered in a sandwich shop in chicago. one was captured in new york's central park in 2006. there is only one known u.s. fatal attack in the 1980s, a california toddler. >> we need to be good wild neighbors and make sure that we
