11:02 am
winner take all state. it's proportional. and unlike florida, it's only open to registered republican voters. 125 overall. and unlike iowa, remember in iowa all those caucuses started aet the same time in the evening? herite is different. it varies by county. here in clarke county, most of the caucuses are in the morning. some are going to be in the and and there's one evening caucus as well. the first results will begin at 8:00 eastern, 5:00 local, susan. >> could there be any surprises here? we're seeing in the polls mitt romney is going to come out ahead. what about ron paul? are we counting him out? >> reporter: ron paul came out ahead here and there's a strong libertarian front in the street. listen. it's almost like home field advantage. you mentioned the mormon vote. he is a mormon and he swept that vote four years ago. take a look at this. this is the most recent poll.
11:03 am
there's mitt romney up top, 20 points ahead of newt gingrich. you can see paul and santorum further down. gun gric gingrich, nothing at all like romney. as for paul and santorum, paul spent some time here, but they've both moved on. paul in minnesota and santorum in colorado. more activity, more volunteers getting ready. guess what? there's also a rummage sale outside of the school. so you cannot only vote in the caucus but check out the rummage sale. >> as the day goes on, the activity will increase. a program note. join fredricka whitfield every sunday afternoon for a special hour dedicated to the presidential contenders in the 2011 election. tonight our expanded coverage starts at 6:00 prime minister with a special edition of "the
11:04 am

11:05 am
the syrian army. they bombarded it randomly with mortar bombs and tank shells. in the first half hour we've got 40 people dead. now we've got about 200 dead all around homs. there's no people underneath the destruction. we can't move them. all the buildings are full of bodies, of human beings. there's kids den, women dead, men dead. we can't get medication in. we're trying to get medication in there. we can't help them. now it's happening all around homs. they're bombarding us. they're trying to move bodies out on the street. people are getting killed just to move a body from the street. just to move the body so they can bury them and they're getting killed for moving the bodies. that's bravery. no one's helping us. u.n. isn't doing anything about it. the arab nation isn't doing anything about it. people are sitting here and they're dying. the syrian people are not going
11:06 am
to stop. they're going to kill millions. we will remember no one did anything about this. >> it is chilling to hear that account. that's danny on "360." joining us now is senior correspondent richard roth. as you hear from that account, danny is saying the u.n. is not doing anything about it. what are their options, and, really, what's on the table today? >> well, if i could make that cheap segue, the odds are all over the board right now on whether the security council will indeeding at this morning in new york regarding syria. the russiaens are really, depending on your viewpoint either stalling or asking for a more balanced resolution. the russian ambassador entered along with many other ambassadors for the security council for a rare saturday session. they ee ail behind closed doors but russians had late amendments to the resolution. the key thing that the
11:07 am
ambassadors are considering is that this arab league came to the new york security council table and said we need you to back our peace plan with president assad giving up control to a deputy. now that was dropped from this resolution. but still in the resolution really is the heart of the plan, endoshsment of that plan. if the russians don't really want to go along with that because they're a main assad ally, then there could be a russian veto and for the second time in three or manpower months it could go down in flames. the u.s., the french, the german ambassadors furious beyond patience now. they say it's time to act. the russian foreign minister, susan, in munich today said, look, we just want a constructive approach by the security council and we don't have a problem with the resolution. some say this is just stalling tactics, so we're going to find out. could be some real furious words over the security council table in a few hours. they're right now still
11:08 am
discussing for about an hour and a half this resolution yet again. back to you. >> we'll see what happens. richard roth, thank you. thousands of demonstrators braved frigid weather in moscow to rally prime minister vladimir putin. there's also a pro-putin rally going on in moscow. these demonstrations are seen as a test for putin with just about a month to go until he runs for president. in washington the occupy d.c. camp is being raided right now by police. that was earlier today. they're in full hazmat gear, checking tents at a downtown park near the white house. police told the crowds that i were not there to evict protesters but to check for compliance to the no camping laws. the move comes after a federal judge tuesday rejected an only pie d.c. demonstrators' request to keep park police enfrom

11:12 am
there is a growing chance israel could attack iran over a nuclear weapons program. u.s. defense secretary leon panetta is suggesting that they could take more action against iran. cn's chris lawrence reports. >> they tell us the u.s. is navigating a very fine line, trying to convince iran that military action is real and something to be feared, but at the same time trying to convince israel not to attack until to h toughtoug tougher sanctions have time to take effect. thousands shouted their support for iran's supreme leader friday as he issued a direct threat to
11:13 am
americans. >> translator: they say all options are on the table, including war. the war itself will be ten times detry menial to the u.s. >> on friday, defense secretary leon pea in ta stood firm saying again the u.s. is, quote, prepared to respond if iran doesn't abandon their nuclear program. but israel says time is running out. >> translator: dealing with a nuclear iran will be more complicated, dangerous, and expensive than blood and money in stopping it. whoever says later may find later is too late. >> even son former diplomats say iran is full of hardliners who may not back down from sanctions. >> so i'm worrying that the overall strat jir of racketing up the pressure and iran will somehow say "uncle" is not based on a good reading of the iranian government. >> a senior congressional official says the relationship with israel right now is the strangest he's seen, and he's
11:14 am
convinced the israelis aren't going to tell us if they strike iran. former defense secretary bob gates told cnn ice john king what would happen if there was any attack on iran's nuclear facilities. >> i think most american senior officials believe iran will in fact retaliate and not just narrowly but across the entire region. >> the highest ranking official to try to tell israel to give sanctions more time p. but a source says when he visited washington it was primarily to gauge what the u.s. would do if israel struck iran. just this month iran started enriching uranium at 20% at their facility in qom. it's an easy jump from there for
11:15 am
90% weapons grade. u.s. officials are taking iran's threats very seriously. one told me iran has been improving its capabilities just for this moment. so it would be able to mind shipping lanes an raid oil tankers, destabilize iraq, and go after american embassies and soft targets all over the world. susan? >> chris lawrence, thank you. coming up, it is a double whammy. if you're unemployed, things are probably a little rough already, but don't forget the tax man. coming up, you still have to pay your share, but we still have advice for you. uits, dessert and choose one of 7 entrees. four courses for only $15. offer ends soon. i'm jody gonzalez, red lobster manager and i sea food differently. that is better than today. since 1894, ameriprise financial has been working hard for their clients' futures. never taking a bailout. helping generations achieve dreams. buy homes. put their kids through college.

some good news from the unemployment front. the economy added nearly 250,000 private sector jobs last month. that drops the unemployment rate down to 8.3% from 8.5% in december. according to chief business correspondent ali velshi, it could be recovered by election day. the president is stressing, though, cautious optimism. >> these numbers will go up and down in the coming months, and there are still far too many americans who need a job or need a job that pays better than the one they have now. but the economy is growing stronger. the recovery is speeding up. and we've got to do everything in our power to keep it going.
11:19 am
>> here are the groups that saw the biggest gains. we're going to break it down for you. african-american unemployment still the highest of any ethnic group, but it came down more than two full percentage points in january. hispanics dropped a half a percent and white men over 20 dropped 0.3%. those jobs numbers had a profound impact on the market. take a look. the dow jumped more than 150 points to finish at its highest level since the economy started to tank in 2008. the nasdaq soared hitting it highest in more than a decade. i hate to spoil all the news but i want to talk taxes for a moment. it's that time of year and before you know it, the tax time will be here. if you're out of work, that does not exempt you from paying taxes. i spoke with clyde anderson who said the unemployed can qualify for some special deductions. >> so only some of these thing
11:20 am
can write off, the things you do for a job search, the coaching, mileage, printing of resumes. >> so if you're unemploy and looking iffer a skrob, those steps that you're taking to look for a job could be rinne off. >> there you go. >> so you could get coaching. cell phone you were mentioning. >> you can write them off. as long as you're using them to get a job. if you move, the location expenses can be deducted. >> and if you think about the stress, we know the numbers of unemployment. they're up there. it's the number one issue during the presidential caucuses, debates. what will do you for us financially. so many people out of a job, and if you think about the stress, can you actually file for an extension if you're unemployed? >> yes, you can still file for an extension. it's actually a wage replacement. so they are wages you're earning so it's a wage replacement.
11:21 am
that's why you're paying taxes on them. >> it's very easy, clyde, to get down when you think about it, peoples out there, we've seen it happen before, they're out of a job. they get discouraged. what advice do you have for them in terms of just continue to keep looking? >> yeah. you've about got to keep going, keep pushing. right now it's the new normal. it's interesting out here. also you have to try other things. maybe it's not the field. explore new fields. there's credits out there. things you can get deductions on if you learn a new skill or get continuing education. learn more and keep pushing. i know it's hard, but you have to keep pushing. >> that's a good point. if it's outside your field of expertise, you may want to branch out. you can also write it off. >> you can write it off as well. people are also becoming entrepreneurs. use your gifts and talents and tap into something row can do while you're looking for a job as well.
11:22 am
just don't stop. >> some good vice there. adviertisers pay big money for the super bowl, which is tomorrow. we'll check the figures after the break.
11:23 am
11:24 am
it is spoul weekend and everyone is trying to cash in on the hype and advertisers are trying to show case their
11:25 am
products. will that actually help sell their goods? we take a look. >> hi, susan. these days advertising on tv isn't enough. it's all about the internet. a lot of sunday's commercials are already on line trying to generate buzz. we spoke to marketing expert mark stevens. he says advertising during the super bowl is a popularity contest and does little to sell a product. for example, one ad set to air sunday from cars.com has a guy with two heads talking to a dealer about buying a car while his smaller head since -- ♪ let's get those keys and drive ♪ >> it's a little weird. mark stevens claims it's a waste of money sniet h. >> it has nothing to do with cars. nothing to do with cars. it's bee vis and butthead of the '80s. businessmen would never, ever give their own money to it. that to me is the acid test.
11:26 am
>> steven says you need a strong message that resonates long after the super bowl ends and you need to make sure the product is the thing people remember, otherwise there are probably better ways for a company to spend its ad dollars. unless, of course, that company is one that advertises every year, like coca-cola or budweiser. it's almost as if it's not the super bowl without a good commercial from one of those guys. these companies have deep pockets, large ad budgets, and can afford to spend millions of dollars on a flashy ad. stevens says that's fine, but the primary purpose of the ad isn't to boost sales. >> there is a place for advertising. you know, well rounded company like anheuser-busch, budweiser is a very well managed business. they don't rely on the super bowl to be their primary drive over success. generally speaking from what i've seen, and i've studied this, they do not return the
11:27 am
investment. it's really an investment. it's a cost. they don't return the cost of the super bowl commercial. what it does, however, is make the company or the advertising agency feel good. it's a pride factor. >> the real winner from the marketing standpoint is the nfl and the network airing the game. they continue to get huge audiences. that means the networks can keep raising ad prices. price this year are $3.5 million to $4 million for a 30-second spot. susan? >> looking forward to watching those. patricia, thanks. new recordings from the moments after the jk assassination hidden away for decades. now offering a rare glimpse into the confusion after the president's murder. hear them for yourself next.

south africa has made great strides on the racial front but a poster create by a student has created a lock of backlash. >> there it is, this beautiful man and beautiful woman in an embrace. well, it has caused major controversy on all sides, so all they wanted to do was say to people, let's have a tolerance in south africa. the actual motto was in the new south africa, you wouldn't look twice if you saw these two people embrace. >> they knew it would cause some sort of stirring but maybe not this much of a stir? >> i think they really did it to say, let's be toll rant, let's be racially embracing, and that
11:48 am
was the idea. they had no clue about the amounts of controversy would cause. white sue prem sichlts are saying why are two people toektd in this way and there's backlash from the international congress that says it shows a male in a dominating position of white supremacy with a black guy mail. i thought it was very beautiful and looked like a calvin klein ad. >> people are overanalyzing this. ed in wra, we see images like this every day but it's still controversial in south africa. >> doesn't it also show you create an ad with your best intention but you can never be sure how other people will interpret it given their perception. but the chair of the organization said, we have engaged south africa in a very frank debate about tolerance, and as far as she was concerned, the ad had been very worthwhile
