5:04 pm
closed during the parade, and the rally in the streets, expected to be jammed of course. cbs 4 traffic specialist is here, huge crowd, best advice has got to be public transport. >> yeah, and typically, we talk about that coming downtown, for a typical gail, you're going to have -- game, you're going to have 80,000 fan, we're talking numbers close to a million. keep that in mind. this is like a big, big game. let me show you what the options are from. they have a lot of routes that you're going to take. various station, keep in mind, the lines will terminate, at the convention center, if you're coming from the north, obviously out at union station. that is plenty -- 3.5 blocks is all. i talked with r.t.d. today, they service 350,000 rides per day, and they're pretty near capacity. and so, if you are planning to take r.t.d. to come into town, think. you're going to need to, pa,
5:05 pm
that is a better option than trying to drive into town. the buses in and around the parade route, 16th street mall, will run as long as they can keep them safe. jim, we're going to talking about buses that are going to be stopped in traffic with the rest of cars, and you may have your car, if you decide to drive it in, you can't find park, you're stuck and you end up listening to the parade on the radio. >> get downtown at 8:00 a.m., have a cup of coffee and breakfast. beat the crowd. thank you. broncos championship gear flying off the printing presses and shelves in denver. the crews are cranking out 300 shirts is per hour. the company was also ready to print shirts in case the panthers won, thank heavens that didn't happen. there is still one big question tonight, after the super bowl. peyton manning? our eric christian son is here. if peyton wanted to go out on top, this is the perfect time.
5:06 pm
to retire, he has money, health, and a second world championship. if peyton manning doesn't upset. the fact that the broncos were 5.5 point under dogs was laughable to people who had seen denver play this year. did it matter how well peyton played or didn't play. denver was battled tested, prepared, and used to winning ugly. manning said it best when he stated, i'm not longer the lead singer, but ats at least i'm still in the band. he's carried teams for the majority of his 18 year career, so maybe it's fitting that someone is else took center stai stage. >> the defense is awesome, they've been awesome all season, they were awesome tonight. and i'm glad i didn't have to play against them. i'm glad i had to mra i on their team -- play on their team. so hard getting to this game. so hard.

5:14 pm
cbs 4's shaun boyd live at the capitol. how would the state pay for it? >>reporter: and jim, that's the 242 million dollar question, what ch is what it would -- which is what it would cost. the lawmaker says this budget has grown year after year, if they want full-day kindergarten, the state can afford it. most colorado school districts offer full day kindergarten, but the state pays half of the cost. the parents can pay up to $400 per kid per month. representative jim wilson plans to change that. >> the effect that this would have is the state would fund the obligation before preschool slots, which we tend to find money to fund preschool slots is, to me, makes no sense whatsoever. like puts on deodorant before you shower, makes no sense and
5:15 pm
somewhere and it didn't go to the roads or educating our kids. >>reporter: he says it's a matter of priorities. >> and i fully contend that we spend dollars where they spoent be spent and adding new programs before we actually fund what we should have been funding for decades. >>reporter: chelsea withstand for children says there's no question full day kindergarten makes a difference. >> we also know that the impacts, behavioral and social emotional skills that children gain when they're in full day kindergarten. >>reporter: no one testified against bill and wilson admits it won't pass, but it will raise awareness. >> we expect the educational system, our students to be all they need to be, we have to give them the opportunity to start the race at the same time. >>reporter: now, wilson's bill did pass the education committee today, but he says it will fail in a appropriations. another bill that would have is

5:20 pm
5:21 pm
it rolls into the end zone. >> von miller around the edges, what forced cam newton to step up. >> jackson and miller were all over him. >> down he goes. what a game, by von miller, you know, he proved a few doubters wrong with his play during the final two weeks, if there was a criticism of von's play on the feeshlgsd it was that he -- field, it was maybe
5:22 pm
games, that hadn't been the case in this year's playoffs, he was all over tom brady, recording 2.5 k sas against patriots quarterback, and he equalled that number last night. now, con conventional wisdom suggests the broncos are going to have to break the bank to sign von to a long-term deal. >> mr. elway, he's played in the national football league, one of the let's best g.m.'s that there is, you know, we're here today because of him. and have people representing my situation as well, and you know, going to be a peaceful thing, you know, i'm not really worried about it. >> sounds like good news. von and the denver d were brilliant, the offense really struggled, less than 200 total yards, only 11 first downs and two turn over, don't ask to apologize.
5:23 pm
wouldn't be here, and everyone knows that, i know that, fortunate enough to play with guys like talib, chris harris, they played their butts off. we just win ball games. >> there's some logic tli. coming up at 6:00, we'll going to hear from cam newton, who was visibly frustrated after last night's game, but not nearly as upset as this carolina fan. >> unfortunately --

5:28 pm
to continue to say it. a barack obama is deliberately carrying out a strategy to change america. he wants to redefine this country. >> reporter: rubio loyalists concede his post-iowa momentum has been lost. john kasich and jeb bush both with superior new hampshire organizations are gaining ground. >> we have the best army in new hampshire. they're going to knock on h rains, whether its snows, it doesn't matter. we're marching and we're going to have a great tuesday. >> reporter: bush and new 's hampshire front-runner donald trump spent the day exchanging insults. >> he's like a child. he's like a spoiled child. he spent $110 million on a campaign, and he's nowhere. >> reporter: bush hit back, calling trump a liar and a whiner. >> he doesn't have the temperament to be president, and whenever i have a chance to describe what i think about him, i'm going to do it. >> reporter: so why does trump go after bush so often?
5:29 pm
republican rival, which makes him an ongoing threat. scott, that's why trump would like to vanquish bush here if he can. r >> pelley: major garrett at a trump rally in new hampshire tonight. major, thank you. cbs news will host the next republican debate. that's coming up this saturday evening from greenville, south carolina. and of course, john dickerson is rm the moderator. the campaign is an insult to voters according to former new york mayor michael bloomberg. he confirmed today that he is considering an independent run. he told the "the financial nt times" that voters deserve a lot better. bloomberg was a democrat, switched to republican, and is now an independent. on the democratic side of ir things, hillary clinton trails bernie sanders in new hampshire by ten points after beating him in iowa by the narrowest of margins. here's nancy cordes. >> reporter: clinton got some back-up on this final day from a large group from arkansas, women she's known for 30 years. >> she's so compassionate. she's so smart.
5:30 pm

[cheering and applause] >> reporter: it's a catch phrase albright has employed for decades, but in this context, it put off some female sanders' ma supporters, like this woman. >> i'm a feminist. i'm not interested in voting for someone solely because they're a woman. i don't think that does us any good. ny
5:31 pm
any means, but i'm for bernie. >> reporter: feminist icon gloria steinem didn't help when she tried to explain sanders appeal to young women this way. >> when you're young, you're thinking, where are the boys, in the boys are with bernie. >> reporter: steinem later apologized on facebook for "what's been misinterpreted for implying that young women aren't serious in their politics." the challenge is for clinton to n find ways to make young women feel inspired, not obligated, especially when sanders is also a pushing for things like equal pay for women and paid family leave. >> pelley: nancy cordes. nancy, thanks. voters fighting a blizzard of insults will have some real snow to deal with. much of new england is getting socked by a storm blowing in r from the atlantic. in connecticut a bus headed to a casino flipped on i-95. 30 people were hurt. some were taken to the hospital.
5:32 pm
tonight, after five years of stalemate, syria's civil war may be reaching a turning point. the assad dictatorship, now backed by relentless russian air strikes, is close to surrounding the town of aleppo, the rebel stronghold. . thousands have fled only to be caught in a no-man's-land on the turkish border. today the u.n. described the . dictator's offensive on civilians as "extermination." holly williams has been ho reporting on the horror of this war, which is also captured in these pictures you're about to see. >> reporter: another child victim of a war that even adults struggle to understand. this little boy was trapped under a slab of concrete until volunteer rescue workers managed to free him. we can't independently verify
5:33 pm
show the death and devastation of a brutal offensive by the syrian regime around the city of aleppo, backed by russian air strikes. with the help of its ally iran on the ground, the syrian regime has almost entirely surrounded aleppo and is now less than 20 miles from the turkish border. that's where tens of thousands of civilians have fled for their lives, though they still haven't been allowed to cross into safety. turkey has absorbed more than two million syrian refugees and now says it has reached its e limit, leaving these exhausted people stranded. mohamad eid hussein al ahmad is a spokesman for a syrian rebel group that's fighting the regime in aleppo and told us they have now lost their main supply route. ir how long can you hold out?
5:34 pm
falls to the regime? "i can't say for sure how long it will be until aleppo falls to the regime or iran and russia," he told us. "we'll stand and fight whoever attack us." the syrian rebels, some of which are backed by the u.s., rose up e against the regime nearly five years ago. if they're now defeated, scott, syria would be divided between isis on one hand and the regime, which has indiscriminately bombed its own people. >> pelley: holly williams covering the war for us tonight. holly, thank you. tonight the u.s. and pacific p allies are considering how to respond to north korea's latest missile launch. the missile reached orbit but in theory could have easily reached the united states, as well. the u.n. has banned these tests and here's david martin. >> reporter: the north korean or launch, which was watched by its y brash young leader, succeeded in putting a satellite into space.
5:35 pm
tumbling in orbit. it is the second time north korea has tried but failed to put a satellite in stable orbit. the newest one is circling the earth at a height of about 300 miles in a roughly north-south orbit that took it over the super bowl about an hour after the game ended. shortly before the game, president obama told gayle king of "cbs this morning" the launch was one more reason to be e worried about north korea. >> this is an authoritarian regime, it's provocative. it has repeatedly violated u.n. resolutions, tested and produced nuclear weapons, and now they're trying to perfect their missile ct launch systems. >> reporter: the three-stage rocket carrying the satellite was launched saturday night from north korea's space launch facility and could be seen flying south over water. never posing a threat to the united states, which had its de just in case. the satellite is roughly the same size as a nuclear warhead. it
5:36 pm
surely to be developing a long- range missile that could hit the u.s. with a nuclear weapon. the u.s. and south korea immediately announced they would begin talks on sending a new missile defense system to the peninsula. in effect adding another layer to the system used to protect south korea. the white house says the u.s. and its allies would level .s additional sanctions against a country that is already an economic basket case, but so far, scott, nothing has succeeded in convincing north korea to give up its nuclear weapons program. pr >> pelley: david martin at the pentagon tonight. david, thank you. ha in that interview with the president, gayle king also wanted to know how mr. obama has changed after years of challenges such as north korea and syria. >> reporter: i'm curious about how the presidency has changed you as a president, it's now eight years in, how you've changed as a president and how
5:37 pm
the time you've been in office. >> you know, i think my basic character is unchanged. r and michelle and close friends of mine who have known me for e years would say he's the same guy. there's obviously some hard-won wisdom from overcoming challenges, figuring out really hard problems. i told somebody in another interview, though, that probably the most important thing, and maybe this is just a function of age as well as having been around the track a while as president, you lose that fear. you lose that sense of, oh, what if something goes wrong, because there are going to be things e that go wrong. you lose that tightness that comes from being very self- conscious about not making mistakes. at a certain point, you know,
5:38 pm
o make your decision. most of the time it's going to work, but it's not going to work , perfectly. you're going to have to continue to make adjustments. that gives you a certain confidence that allows you to play a little bit better. >> pelley: the president with gayle king in the oval office. gayle, i can't remember ever seeing the president and first lady do a joint interview on live television. >> reporter: you know why you can't remember, scott? it's never happened. it's the first time they ever sat together live. and it's the first time i ever interviewed a president and first lady live. i was so flattered and so honored they allowed us to come ey their super bowl sunday, and talk to us. >> pelley: terrific interview. gayle king of "cbs this morning." you can see much more of gayle's interview with the president and the first lady. that's tomorrow on "cbs this morning." that interview preceded the
