1:04 pm
there's water there, if the fire gets worse, we can find shelter there the problem was that the main concern or the better said, it was the smoke that killed the large majority of you percentage not the fire itself. those people that went to the restrooms died of smoke inhalation, what the firefighters are telling us. >> rafael romo, thank you very much. our heart goes out. nobody expects a fire inside a club but worthying what would you do if one broke out. some of the worst nightclub trang drills did been right here in the u.s. our susan candiotti joins us from new york. susan? >> reporter: hi, miguel. you know, it has been nearly a deck xansd the last nightclub fire that caused mass casualties here in the u.s.

1:06 pm
investigators will be looking at fire codes, what kind were in place and were they enforced? >> what are safety experts saying you can do if you go to a concert or bank yet hall. >> reporter: a number of things, none of us might like to do it but expert glenn corbett says you have to do your homework. in a club, look for places that count count heads at the door, there thank might be a good sign that make sure they are not overcrowding. and another former investigator tells us to be very aware of your surroundings. >> always sit close to the exit door, as close as you can, and if you smell smoke or anybody that -- indication of a fire, make sure that you get out of there. don't second question whether or not there's a fire. >> reporter: and if you don't see sprinkler systems or smoke detectors when you first arrive, you might want to think twice about sticking around. miguel? >> yeah, susan. good advice. i always look for two exits when

1:08 pm
as i said earlier, that enough is enough. do military-style assault weapons belong on our streets? and the answer, according to the mayors, chiefs of police, according to the largest police organization in the world is absolutely no. >> but republican congressman marsha blackburn has a different view about gun control. >> we need to be looking at the root causes. some of these psychotropic drug and let this not be the weapon. let's talk about some of the root issues. i understand the senator's passion for this. but i have to tell you, an assault ban is not the answer to helping keep people safe. >> in an interview with the new "republic" magazine, president obama says gun owners will not be forgotten in the ongoing debate. the president said he has

1:11 pm
well, if you haven't got the flu this year, lucky you, but chances are you know or you work with someone who did. that's because the flu season is one of the worst we have seen in years. health officials can keep pretty good track of how many actually get the flu. science still isn't exactly sure how we get it in the first
1:12 pm
place. our emily schmidt takes us inside a maryland lab that is trying to find that answer. >> reporter: people goo to such lengths to avoid getting the flu you can't help but notice a place seeking those that caught t when university freshman dominic young heard about a campus flu study -- >> this is going in your nose and straight back. >> reporter: dominic had a feel egg fit the bill. >> i woke up at 8:00 a.m., every time i swallowed, i got punched in the stomach. yesterday i slept for 18 house, other than when i needed to sleep. >> reporter: he tested positive for type a influenza which callfied him for a study of how anyone gets flut in the first place. >> that is what research discovery is about. and being a detective. >> reporter: professor don milton says scientists don't know exactly how the flu is transmitted. >> deep in, deep out. >> reporter: one theory it may not be spread through direct or
1:13 pm
indirect contact but instead, by tiny viruses, 1-1,000th the which hath of t width of the human hair that linger in the air. >> would be nice if flu wasn't aerosol transmitted because it would be much simpler but i think the odds are that aerosols are going to play an important role in flu transmission. >> reporter: that's where this machine name comes into play that measures how much the flu spreads airborne. >> he has local exhaust inhalation collecting all of his breath. >> reporter: this lab is part of a global study, hoping to more clearly explain flu transmission and some folks solutions. >> things like having uv lights to sterilize the air, to have more ventilation, to have local exhaust ventilation to control what people are breathing. >> reporter: the centers for disease control and prevention suggest disinfecting
1:14 pm
germ-contaminated surfaces as one way to avoid the flu. dr. milton says he agrees with that advice for the thing wes touch but says science still needs more answers about what to do with the air we breathe. emily schmidt, cnn, washington. a big test for the gop this week on immigration. the president will be laying out his immigration policy in las vegas. state democrats want to paint solidly blue. i asked chief political correspondent candy crowley what republicans need to do to handle immigration. >> this is an issue that republicans have to get off the table. more than 70% of hispanics in the last election voted for president obama. that's not sustainable for the republican party if they want to win a national election there is unanimity among republicans that something has to give on
1:15 pm
immigration reform. i think you will see immigration reform this year, i think you will see some form, call it amnesty, a pathway to citizenship, something that allows those who are in this country without documents to get into the legal lane, some way, some. how >> gun control that's certainly on the agenda. dianne feinstein of california offered her legislation this week to ban assault weapons but the turnout at a gun control rally yesterday in d.c. was tepid, and democrats are hedging on this. is anything really going to get done on this issue? >> i think something will get done but the idea of assault weapons ban may be an overreach, not just because there are a number of republicans, most republicans who oppose it, there are democrats, many as many as a dozen, who live in states that have gun cultures, guns part of growing up, hunting along with fishing and along with, you know, target shooting is a part of the lifestyle and there are
1:16 pm
democrats -- democratic senators there who want, in fact, to be re-elected so to reflect their state, they are looking at some of this and saying it can't go that far. we will see what happens. i will say that i think the thing that i hear the most about from both sides is universal background checks. that is expanding background checks to gun shows, et cetera, when there is a sale of a weapon. it appears chuck hagel will be confirmed as secretary of defense. one of his first big projects will be integrating women into the front line positions in combat. how's this likely to roll out and where are the fault lines? >> i think it is the sheer physicality of some of these jobs. now, what has happened here is the pentagon chief, currently leon panetta, has said here's the deal, women are now able to be in the front lines in combat. you have time, he says to the military to come back and tell me if women should be excluded
1:17 pm
from certain jobs. here is the idea r you have to have -- in special ops, in particular, there are huge physical challenges, even for the fittest of men. the question whether women who biologically have less upper body strength, can qualify and use the same qualifications as men. now, clearly, there are some women who can, but we will see over the next six months or so if anyone comes back and says i just don't think this is a job that a female can do but i think he expect a pretty easy transition. as we know, women have been in combat in terms of supporting combat, women killed in afghanistan and iraq, so it is not a huge leap but it is a cultural leap and there are certain jobs where you cannot bring down the qualifications, where men and women are going to have to meet the same qualifications and the question is whether women can, simply by virtue, at least in general, of their strength, vis-a-vis male strength, including the upper body.

1:41 pm
thing, a super bowl ad is different to evaluate what makes a great super bowl ad, you have to understand the dynamics of the super bowl audience. first, it is huge, the biggest sized audience you will see all year. secondly, people are watching it live, people might record it, but not like most tv shows these days. third, people like watching the commercials it is a unique ex-kbreefrnls the first cardinal rule of super bowl advertising, what is great have broad demographic appeal, don't alien nate any part of that audience you are paying for. you can see in this ad, yeah, i think it kind of does. >> yeah. >> and so that's the first thing. now, recognize, this is just a teaser, this may not be what actually runs on sunday. but alienating your demographics is probably the first cardinal sin not to do >> fair enough. given all of that here is glimpse of the new coke extravaganza. ♪

over 3,000 feet beneath the pacific ocean, after hundreds of years of searching, a live giant ten-foot squid is captured on video its natural habitat for the first time. and tonight, a team of scientists and filmmakers from discovery channel and the japanese broadcaster, nhk, are revealing stunning images of this rare creature. they are calling it the holy grail of natural history filmmaking. here's a preview of "monster squid, the giant is real." >> the unexplored abyss. mankind finally confronts the legend of the deep. >> there. there. there. >> whoa! >> stop. stop. stop. >> okay. very, very good.
1:48 pm
>> love it. i spoke to marine biologist dr. edie wit ber this historic sighting. she helped design and invent the sub that made the discovery possible. i asked her why finding this squid is such a big breakthrough. >> it's special because it wasn't just a chance glimpse. we actually saw the giant squid six separate times and it's an indication that we've been hunting for in the wrong way and we paid attention to what squid pay attention to and that's why we were able to see it. >> this is the most amazing thing. you guys did set out to actually see these giant squid and you caught it with a very ingenious lure. what was it? >> it was an optical lure that imitates a type of bioluminescent display a lot of animals in the deep ocean make light. and some of them use light to defend themselves from predators. and the type of display i used is one that deep sea jellyfish uses to kind of scream for help. and so if the jellyfish is being
1:49 pm
munched on by a fish say, it lights one this pinwheel of light and it isn't gonna scare the fish away necessarily, but what it might do is attract a larger animal that will attack the fish and there by give the jellyfish a chance to escape. >> it sounds like some sort of -- >> and so -- >> it sounds like some sort of crazy almost cartoonish food chain situation, where you have the smaller -- the smaller animal being eat by a bigger animal which attracts -- the smaller one attracts a bigger one to comes to the rescue, yes? >> that's exactly what it is. it's absolutely a food chain phenomenon. >> amazing. and so you were in this sub and you -- when you saw this, what was your reaction? >> actually, we filmed it a bunch of different ways. the camera system i was using was being deployed off the ship and it would float around by itself for a couple of days at a time. and that was the first imagery
1:50 pm
we got, the black and white imagery i think you have probably seen was with my camera system. and so the first time i saw it was on board the ship and a graduate student actual lives the first person to see it, was reviewing the tape while i was down in the submersible, when i came back up, he show it had to me and we all went completely nuts, which we actually got on camera, because at first, i just couldn't even believe it. and then, as if that weren't enough, we kept getting sighting yous and then dr. kubidera made a submersible drive and he was using bait and another type of optical lure that brought a giant squid in and the squid started munching on the bait. and so the doctor risked turning on the white lights because we had just been using red light in order not to scare the animal away answered turned on the white lights, it didn't bolt, it
1:51 pm
stayed around. so the footage you're going to see sunday night is just absolutely breathtaking. >> wow. well, you guys really did your homework. you clearly built a better mousetrap here. what exactly -- it's called a medusa, the device you sent down there? what does it look like? what does it actually do? >> it's -- it look its like a cuba three foot by three foot by three and a half feet and it's got a come rah system on it that uses red light to illuminate the scene and the camera itself is intensified. and sticking out in front of the camera is basically a long stick that's got the electronic jellyfish, which looks like a glass sphere, on the end of it that electronic jellyfish was produce the display the whole time it was down there in order to attract in the squid. >> absolute lynn credible. dr. edie widder, thank you very much. can't wait to watch. thanks. >> thank you.

favorite right actors and actresses from your favorite movies and tv shows, taking over hollywood in the glamour, glitz and high fashion of the red carpet. means one thing, the screen actors guild awards are here, a place where actors honor each other. who better to tell us what to expect than our very own the lovely, talented nischelle turner on the red carpet in l.a. nischelle -- >> hi! >> who is likely to win best pitcher and are there any surprises ahead for us? >> reporter: first of all, miguel, for the screen actors guild award, it's best ensemble, best cast ensemble in a movie, because they like to honor -- actors like to honor everybody, they want to talk about the ensembles. going into this award, you may think there is a front runner because everyone was talking about "lincoln," but during awards season "argo" has made a
1:56 pm
strong push off top and really kind of come on late. i wouldn't be surprised if "argo" wins for best picture, just because, like you said, the actors vote for this one. i don't think that's out of the realm of possibility at all. i don't know if i would call it an upset anymore. >> wow. that's quite a statement there. i saw both movies, "lincoln" is pretty amazing. >> yeah, it was. >> very good films. what about best actor and actress category? what can you tell us? >> reporter: those, on the other hand, could be very interesting as well. i think the best actor category is one of the strongest that we've seen in a long time, some really, really good performances this year by the actors, but if there is one that there is a front runner, daniel day-lewis definitely has kind of the momentum going into it as his role as abraham lincoln. he was, everyone said, and i think he was great, understated but just hit the right note as the president. so, we could definitely see him
1:57 pm
take home an award tonight. on the actress side things, people thought this could be a two-horse race between jennifer lawrence and jessica chastain. naomi watts is making a really strong late push and if you saw "the impossible" and her performance that movie was about the family that was hit by the tsunami of 2004 and who survived it. she was amazing you. she was just haunting. it stuck with me. one of those performances that stays with you. >> i love you call this a horse race. a special moment tonight, dick van dyke will be hon weird a lifetime achievement award. how will that go over? >> reporter: by the way, i can tell that you alec baldwin and rob ryan letter present him with that award. if anybody deserves a lifetime achievement award it is dick van dyke. he has been in this game for more than 50 years. he does have a personal connection with the s.a.g. awards, too, miguel, because he met his wife here at the screen actors guild awards. so it's been a pretty good run
1:58 pm
