now, he'll slow the drawdown from the current level of 10,000 troops to about 5,500 by the end of 2016. his original plan was keep a thousand troops stationed in kabul. u.s. military advisers warned a more robust presence is needed to combat a resurgence taliban, as well as threats from isis and al qaeda. last month the taliban overran a major afghan city for the first time since 2001. senior administration officials say u.s. forces will now be stationed at four key bases at a cost of around $15 billion and more than a billion the original plan. sources say the president is concerned he wants to give his successor more flexibility to fight terrorism. >> margaret, thanks. israeli is taking new action this morning to battle increasingin increasing violence from palestinians. hundreds of israeli troops are deployed across the country and

attack targeting troops and civilians continue. eight israeli and could be targeted, mistaken for terrorists. the scene of a young dead palestinian man surrounded by israeli forces is the latest one in this latest surge of violence and he was shot dead yesterday at the entrance of the old city after he allegedly triri t t knife an israeli security guard. another tacker at a bustation

says the inquiry, quote, has zero credibility left but the former secretary of state will testify to the committee next week. this morning, the clinton campaign is telling vice president joe biden to make up his mind about running for president. clinton and senator bernie sanders are reaping the rewards from tuesday night's debate. many democrats are asking if there is still even an opening for joe biden. nancy cordes is in des moines, iowa, where the first in the nation caucuses are three and a half months away now. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the clinton campaign is subtly, but upping the pressure on vice president biden to announce his intentions. they feel this field has been in limbo long enough. >> did we have a good debate last night? we will win nevada for thehe democrats to keeeea democrat in the white house! >> reporter: an energized hillary clinton stayed in nevada wednesday after a debate performance that gave her campaign a badly needed shot of confidence. the campaign chair issues this

challenge to biden. >> i think the time has come for a decision. >> i'm feel really luckck in las vegas. >> repororr: clinton, herself, took a more hands-off approach. >> i think he needs to decide what is best for him and his family. >> reporter: biden has to consider sanders sudden surge in funding and he raised more than 2.5 million in 24 hours and more than republican rand paul raised in three months. we asked skarnedsanders if he would like to see another candidate in the race. >> joe biden is a good friend of mine. some people say who he comes in the was it does me good and others say it doesn't. i don't know the ansnsr to that. >> reporter: anyone looking for clues from biden himself didn't find them in this brief assessment of the debate. >> i was proud of them. >> reporter: hit on supporters in the draft biden movement insist clinton's debate performance only made it more clear why biden needs to run.

>> there really isn't aier for her on the stagegend i thinknk having the vice president on the stage, it gives democrats a good alternative. it would give us our primary a boost. >> reporter: if biden does get in the race, he'll attend the second democratic debate here in des moines on november 14th. check out another signed that sander is feeling good after his performance on tuesday night. here he is busting out the dance moves with ellen at a taping in california yesterday. the show is slated to air this afternoon. >> thanks, nancy. something i thought i would never see, bernie sanders and ellen. >> right, dancing. > islso now political target for billionaire donald trump, the republican front-runner hit the vermont senator hard in wednesday's rally in richmond, virginia. trump says sanders is pushing clinton to the left. >> i watched hillary last night. we are going to give this and that and a poor woman to give everything away because this

maniac standing on her right is giving everything away so she is following. that is what is happening! this socialist/communist, okay? nobody wants to say it. >> cbs news contributor frank luntz is with us. good morning. >> it's always unnecessary. donald trump finds the line and then crosses it and then jumps a mile beyond it. and it's part of the reason why kevin mccarthy went through what he did, why you see so much anger, so mucuc frustration and it's happening on both sisis of the political spectrum and the focus groups that i'm doing, it is tough to make it through the three hours, because people are just so mad. you know what? trump is talking to them. he really is relating to them. he is leading in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, and nevada, we found in our work, the first four states. my advice to viewers, stop looking at the national polls and follow those first four states because, charlie, nobody has ever won those first states

trump is ahead in all four. >> one more question about trump. is this a new strategy for him to attack democrats? is he going to focus more on democrats now than he is on republicans? >> ts hard to tellit is hard to tell. we have never seen a republican attack republicans the way he has and in that clip he left hillary clinton alone but it doesn't bother other republicans. when we have shown those clips to focus groups of him ripping into on the gop candidates, they laugh and want to see more. it's entertainment for them. >> he seems to use social media, frank, very effectively. how much of a difference does that make that you can get the good and bad and oh, so ugly out so quickly for him. >> i haven't talked about this before but we have been looking at contete of social media and for the first time conservative social media is more negative, more vicious and more personal in the attacks than left wing social media and trump is provoking it and stoking it. all you have to do is look at what happened after the

democratic debate when clinton and sanders people werectually mplimenting each other. en look at the republican social media and it is vicious. every day, every hour they are coming after each other. we have never seen that before. >> how has trump complicated jeb bush and marco rubio and other republicans candidates attempt to gain momentum? >> we have heard they don't get the air time bececse of all the ththgs trump is saying.. he is so telegenic you want to focus on him but deeper than that because trump support is deeper than that. the more that we inform people about where trump stands, they don't break from him. bernie sanders has the weakest support of any c cdidate that they can go -- i don't mean bernie sanders. ben carson. trump, over 80% of trump voters say they are going to stay with him no matter what they learn and that makes it hard for rubio and bush to get traction. >> frank luntz, thank you so much. >> pleasure. a fast moving wildfire near austin, texas, has destroyed nine homes and is threatening more than 100 others. firefighters are battltlg the

4200 acre hidden pine fire from the ground and the air, but this morning, it's only 15% contained. this morning, former nba star lamar odom is reportedly showing small signs of improvement in the hospital. but there is new information today that odom may have used cocaine in the days before he was found u uonscious att a nevada brotherl. kevin frazier is outside sunrise hospital center in las vegas where lamar odom is recovering. kevin, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. you know, according to a source inside the hospital that is close to the family that i spoke with yesterday, there weremall improvements for lamar odom. he squeezed kim kardashian's hand and he briefly opened up his eyes, but understand this. he is a long way from being out of the woods and he is fighting for his life. the first 911 call came around 3:15 nevada time tuesday froro a female employeeef the love

jake>> have a great day! it's thursday, october 15th, 2015. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including a group that will stop taking tips, first on "cbs this morning," ceo danny meyer tells us why he is taking the risk. first, here is a look at today's eye opener at 8:00. the system back online. no signs that the failure had anything to do with a malicious attack. recent explosion of violence in afghanistan has led president obama to reverse his decision. three palestinian men were arrested, israeli police suspected them of about to launch another attack. the clinton campaign is suddenly but unmistakably upping the pressure on vice president biden to announce his intentions. donald trump finds the line

in the old days, with bergdahl bergdahl, who was a traitor, it was treason, you would shoot him. he would get shot. fast-moving wildfire near austin. small improvements for lamar odom. he is a long way from being out of the woods, and he is fighting for his life. businesses here in georgetown started to use the app despite potential suspicious activity. the people who are texting each other are reveling in this game of following people around and saying who is suspicious. check out another sign that sanders is feeling good after his performance tuesday night. here he is busting out the dance moves with ellen. something i thought i would never see. bernie sanders and ellen. >> i'm charlie r i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell.

out how a computer glitch made proms probles for a system. officers had to check passengers' names against the watch list by hand. the outage affected major cities from coast to coast. >> it left thousands of people stranded stranded, confused and frustrated for two hours. the lines got longer and longer until the system came back up. customs and border protection officials say there is no sign that the outage was malicious. hillary clinton's debate performance is putting new pressure on vice president joe biden. clinton's campaign chairman said wednesday it's time for biden to decide on a presidential campaign. clinton herself said the vice president needs to consider what's best for him and his family. biden said he thought all the candidates performed well tuesday night and left it at that. bernie sanders says he raised $2.5 million since the debate. he also got the attention of donald trump. in virginia last night the republican candidate called

sanders a, quote, socialist/communist and a maniac. restaurant legend danny meyer plans to take tipping off the menu. gratuities going away at 13 of his new york restaurants. meyer wrote online, starting at the modern in late november you'll no longer find a tip line on your check and there will be no need to leave additional cash at the table, the coat check or the bar. we're pleased to welcome danny meyer back to studio 57. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> you call this hospitality included. why are you doing this? >> you know what, i love the hospitality business as much as anyone on earth. what i don't love is a situation in which over the 30-year career that i have had, the disparity between what somebody can make in the dining room with the tipping system and what somebody can make in the kitchen has widened by about 200%. >> a lot more being made by the waiters than the cooks? >> yes.

i love the fact that waiters make good money. the waiters when we eliminate tipping will make as much or more in 75% of the cases than they're making now. when you have a tip, i don't think the general public fully understands where the tip can go and where it's not allowed to go. for example, when you leave a tip at any restaurant, not only is the waiter generally sharing it with all other waiters, but they're not i aallowed to share it with anyone in the kitchen. >> why are they not allowed? >> that's how laws are written across the country. >> having to do with taxes or what? >> nothing to do with taxes. it's the gratuities are only allowed to be shared amongst the people who actually faced you during the meal. so that means that, on a really busy saturday night, when everybody is high-fiving themselves because they did such a great job of taking care of you, the cooks are sweating a little bit more while the waiters are counting more cash. >> the person i want to be happy is the cook. >> you're so right about that.

>> danny, people say it's too good to be true. does it mean we're going to pay in other ways, that now the prices of food will go up? >> well, the price of your meal is exactly what it is. so, for example, when you agreed many, many years ago that it's worth paying a little bit more for organic vegetables or locally grown vegetables or animals that were raised responsibly, it's put in the menu prices. right now it's going to be put in the menu prices not just what we pay the cooks, florists, reservationists and table cloths and what we pay our servers as well. that's our responsibility to do it. at the end of the day when you get your credit cardrdill a month later. that line when you come to one of our resurants should look exactly ast would have if you had struggled in the dark to put on the tip. it's true that the menu price itself will look higher by about 21% but the total a the bottom will be the same. the benefit is that we'll get a chance, because we don't have to

worry about who cannot get tips, to make it an equitable playing field. >> not worrying about people who don't give good tips. >> that's one of the most demoralizing things in the world if somebody stiffs the waiter for slow service and it might not have been the waiter's fault. >> this is on the front page of every major n nspaper inhe country. can you guarantee that it wiwi only be a 20% increase in the menu price? or could you go as high as 35% as some analysts are suggesting? >> well, we are going to start it at 21% and try to make it work as best we can. i think it's important to understand that january 1 1f next year minimum w wage will go up everywhere. as soon as that happens, every restaurant will have to raise their prices. that doesn't require you to eliminate tipping but we said, if we're going to raise our prices anyway, why don't we use

this opportunity to make the restaurant business a much more sustainable place. i have to add one more thing. we a a facing, across the whole country, the biggege single labor shortage in talented cooking skills that we have ever seen. part of the reason is that, if you are a young kid and you want to go to cooking school with big, big bills, how do you tell your parents, what i really want to do is go work for $11 an hour, $10 an hour, $9 an hour and live in aig city likik new york. so for the very sustainability of the business we think this is important. >> all right. >> really interesting. >> thank you, restaurant legend. you wear that well. >> thank you queen gayle. >> thanks, danny. to our conversation with tom hanks and steven spielberg about what it's like to work together. >> how does one stay to tom hanks, that was good, but could you do it over?

the atlanta falcons are flyiyi high. but can t ty soarr over thehe saints? tracy wolfson is standing by at the mercedes-benz superdome in new orleans with a preview. will the patriots look for revenge sunday over deflaettegatedeflategate. that's ahead here on "cbs this morning." selling 18 homes? easy. building them all in four and a half months? now that was a leap. i was calling in every favor i could, to track down enough lumber to get the job done. and i knew i could rely on american express to help me buy those building materials. there e e always going to b bunknowns. you just have to be ready for them. another step on the journey...

will you be ready when growth presents itself? realize your buying power at open.com i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer. my psoriatic arthritis caused joint pain. just like my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and i was worried about joint damage. my doctor said joint pain from ra can be a sign of exixiing joint damage that could only get worsrs he prescribed enbrel to help relieve pain and help stop further damage. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you've been someplace where fufual infections are common, or if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. joint pain and damage... can go side by side. ask how enbrel can help relieve joint pain

enbrel, , e number one rheumatologist-prescribed biologic. before there could be a nation, there had to be people willing to fight for it, to take on the world's greatest challenges, whatever they might be. so, the u.s. army masters not only tactics and strategy, but also physics and chemistry. we make battle plans and create breakthroughs - in mededine, science and d gineering. our next mission could be anything.

to tom hanks and steven spielberg join forces for the fourth time as actor and director. their new movie "bridge of spsps" opens tomorrow. the oscar winners talked about us in new york about their winning partnership and friendship? hollywood. how does this work? this particular collaboration? do you call him and say tom, i have something for you? tom, do you say, guess what, steven -- >> no, i called tom and said that i got wind of a story that a young writer had brought to dreamworks.

>> that story became "bridge of spies" a cold-war drama based on true events and steeped in intrigue and espionage. >> we call it the constitution and we agreed to the rurus. that's what makes us americans. >> tom hanks plays james donovan, a lawyer assigned to defend an accused soviet spy named rudolph abel. later he is called on to negotiate a prisoner swap. abel for american pilot gary powers who had been shot down and had been held by the sovietet >> t t spy swap, this was allll news to me, and i, you know, called tom on the phone, you know, and said -- >> you knew. >> i would love you to read this. >> you said there was nobody you could envision playing the part of jim donovan other than you, tom hanks. over to you. you get the call. >> i pulled out a trumpet and i blew it really loud and i took pots and pans and banged them together, and i cut up the newspapers to form confetti and

threw it all over the house. >> so you liked it instantly. >> everyone deserves a defense. every person matters. >> you, tom, are such a student of history. >> i am. non-fiction entertainment is a better way to spend your time than anything you could possibly make up. >> for me i googled jim donovan, i wanted to see what the real guy looked like. >> beefy irishman. >> i thought that was interesting. i can't say i was interested in the story before. after i looked at the movie i went, wow! >> movies should open people's eyes to something they knew nothing or very little about. movies should open up possibibities for audiences. >> isn't it great when you go to the movies -- i didn't know that. >> i love the collaboration between the two of you. it seems so easy. is it as easy as it appears? >> it's as easy as the film will let it be. in private ryan we had an easy collaboration under difficult circumstances. it was a tough, dangerous movie to make.

>> get down! >> depends o o really the genre that we're in. >> "saving private ryan" was the first time hanks and spielberg teamed up as actor and director. that was in 1998. the friendship goes back to the 1980s. >> kids didn't go to the same school, but the car pool hour is universal somewhere between like 7:15 and -- >> 7:35. >> it will be driving -- he'll be driving past the front of my house and i'm playing catch with the kids waiting for the car pool. oh, steven is driving. he slowed down, rolled the window down. i'd like to talk but i have to get the kids to school! he would be on his way. >> we've been neighbors and friends for such a long time, beforeree started professionally rking together. >> steven, how does one say to tom hanks, that was good, but could you do it over? a little more energy. >> i say -- in my mantra is saying, that was great. that was brilliant.

>> comes up and will say things like, oh, do something different. >> yeah. >> do somethinin different. >> it works. i remember saying a long time ago,he makg of an "indiana jones" movie where harrison is on the tank and that kind of stuff. it shows this thing. they're setting up the shot. i remember harrison ford was saying he was doing something with his hand. i said, steven, how about this in the foreground? steven w w like, i loveit. keep that in. i'm like, you get to do that? >> because it's -- who knew. it's a weird -- people can make all the assumptions, but the fact of the matter is a movie is like a living, breathing thing. it just keeps evolving. we don't let the cement dry and then make the entire movie.e. i don't likee the cementt to dry until they have to yank the film out of my hands and put it in movie theaters. it's always changing and

>> 40th anniversary of jaws"jaws." >> 40th anniversary. '75 it came out. >> steven, y y should know that. >> i don't pay attention to those things. i guess i'll pay attention on the 50th anniversary. >> 40 is big for a movie that people still want to do, da-da, da-da. they know what that is. >> so you were told then, you know, listen, you'll never make another movie with that kind of commercialalsuccess. you shouldtop now. is that true? >> what they said was in the middle of shooting "jaws," you'll never make another movie. it was so far over budget and schedule. >> do you remember the budget? >> about $3.2 million. i think we went to $10 million or $11 million. in 1987 7 's a big overage. i was shocked that we finished the movie. it didn't sink in for a couple

years what "jaws" had become in the country. the only experience i remember having where i thought we were a popular movie. i was at the 31 flavors trying to get ice cream in a long line. the only time it impacted me was that people were talking about it in line. that's when i realized it. >> piedmont theater, in piedmont, california, the day before the 4th of july. i remember because the day before that, july 3rd, 1975, murray hamilton told the mayor. you can't close the beaches. tomorrow is the fourth of july. >> for christ sake. tomorrow is the 4th of july. >> i said, guys, tomorrow is the 4th of july. it was a big moment for all of us. that was the first movie i stood in line for. >> hanks has starred in four spielberg films. he says they are special opportunities for him still. he loves to share that experience with his fellow actors.

>> because i had done this before, the other guys in the movie came up and said, what can we expect? i said, the best thing that can happen on the set is where steven disappears, you don't know where he is and then you see him out of the corner of your eye somewhere on the periphery of the set with a finder up to his eye and he's looking around. that means he's looking for something that's going to be solid gold and you hope you're in it somewhere. >> that's so great. . >> great, great. great. >> i shared a desk with the man who presented jaws. >> you feel the chemistry, the admiration, the love, respect between the two of them. it's good to see. opens friday. "bridge of spies". >> we'll show you what happens when a black bear sneaks into a school. you're watching "cbs this morning." or wonder... ...whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. because today there's harvoni.

it should be interesting. i think it's going to take a lot to stop this nfc south atlanta falcons power offense that they have. julio jones just clicking on all cylinders and devante freemem and matt ryan. the defefee the saints has b bn struggling. the question going is how will julio jones be? he is aling with a hamstring injury. i am told he is not on a pitch count tonight and expected to play. >> what did drew brees? having a tough time this season and one of the nicest guys in the nfl. what do you think about him? they say he is 36 and some say that is a little old in the nfl. are his best days behind him? >> tom brady is older. >> i don't think it's old in the nfl. we have seen several players around that age perform at a high level. it is interesting. you mentioned it. he is struggling definitely mightily this year. he is not surrounded by the parts that he used to have. they lost jimmy graham and drew brees dealing with a shoulder

i was told he iss 100% bunt you never really know. they need a w but i think his future is definitely questionable with the new orleans saints. >> tom brady is 38 and playing pretty well for 38. >> that's right. >> or pretty. 28, he is playing well. >> is there an advantage for the saints playing at their hometown in the superdome? >> you know, there i i but they haven'n' beenn as dominate at home as they have been in the past. this atlanta team is a different team run by dan quinn, taking over this year. he just provides this mentality of toughness, play fast, play competitive, never give up. they won four of their five games in the fourth quarter. they have had to come from behind to win. so this is a completely different atlanta team t tt i did not think w wl be in awe of this stadium which, by the way, they have played in here before. >> let's talk about sunday's game, tracy. some are calling it deflategate revenge with the patriots and

the colts. what is your take on that? >> reporter: you know what? i look at it as it's in the past. at is just a media thing and erybody is just talalng about it. once they kiki off, it is just another game to me.

want to give him another hand. >> reporter: growing up in the shadow of the superdome, lewis always hoped an nfl stadium would one day be his workplace. >> it was tough growing up, you know, in this community. you always hear about everything taking place. you don't get too many stories that guys had opportunity to make it to the national football league, so that was aream i always had,d, i always wanted to accomplish. >> reporter: with just his mom at home, keenan looked to his football coach for guidance. >> coach power stepped in and played that father figure role and that was tremendously important. east monterrey court where i grew up at playing out here with the other guys and gave me the opportunity to play. >> we gaveou opportunity. you just had to wait your turn. you had to wait your turn. >> i had to find my way. >> reporter: after being drafted by ttsburgh, lewis found his way to the super bowl.

the same thing that keenan did. >> dreams do come true, no matter what the situation you face, you know, you can accomplish your dreams. >> i love these stories. what i like is when all of them, when the players go back to look on the kid' eyes whenhey are looking at him saying,, he did it, maybe i can. >> yeah. because they view them as such roes, right? >> keenan lewis, got a new fan. >> a new fan, indeed. a big city, a big book and one author's dream that put him on top.

who launched a bidding war over it was the people who bore the brunt of the blackout struggling through a night and most othe day without lights, elevators, subways or air-conditioners. steve young reports on how they handled it. >> new york in july of 1977 faced a blackout that lasted more than a day. cbs news cameras captured that summer's looting and arson and aos. at eranspired a firsrstime novelist, "city on fire" this season's most talked about new book. new yorkers of the '70s lived with constant unseize. the big apple nearly went bankrupt and the son of sam terrorized millions. jeff glor spoke to the author of "city on fire" about a novel that sparked a bidding war wayne a huge advance.

period for years. i had been driving around. >> reporter: you wanted to live in that time period? >> i didn't -- it wasn't a choice. i mean, i'm driving around the back road in north carolina, you know, feeling like nobody gets it. >> and listening to ps atti smith. >> you didn't live through this era but people who did live through this era in the 's in new york, seem to think that you nailed what the city was. >> they did such a good job leaving a set of traces, photographs, albums, books. this was the go-to desk. >> reporter: hallberg is 36 years old and spent much of his time researching the novel inside new york's main library and four years thinking about "city on fire" five years writing it and another couple of years watching a bidding war develop over who would publish it.
