7:01 am
chilean miner pena is first to hit the big time coming to new york to run the marathon and stopping by "the late show with david letterman." we'll take you inside his tour of the big apple november 5th, we'll take you inside his tour of the big apple november 5th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs even in the dark, they come to cheer us along. good morning to everyone. happy friday. happy weekend. i'm maggie rodriguez. >> i'm harry smith. good morning, everybody. >> we begin with the breaking story, following a dangerous threat to earthquake-stricken haiti today. hurricane tomas packing 80 mile-a-hour winds is expected to pass over haiti later today. the victims of the earthquake living in tent cities for the most part ignored voluntary evacuation orders. dave price is following the
7:02 am
story today. >> reporter: there's no place for them to go. the storm, 175 miles to the west of port-au-prince. it's going to pass through this little spot right in between cuba and haiti and as a result this area is just going to get pounded for the next 12 hours. five to ten inches of rain, 50 to 80-mile-per-hour winds and it will wreck a lot of tents and there is, of course, the possibility of flooding. later on today, it passes through into the evening hours tonight. but keep in mind, port-au-prince and haiti on the strong side. the northeast corridor of this storm. and then it will progress, it will weaken and head out into the atlantic but the danger apparent and the problem is no one is secure right now from the rains or the wind. we'll keep an eye on it. right now, back the you, harry. >> thanks very much. now to the latest of president obama on the midterm elections. in an exclusive one on one interview with steve croft the
7:03 am
president talks about the democrats' humbling losses on tuesday and said he's not doing enough to get the voters on his side. >> there is this feeling, particularly among people who were among your most ar dant supporters who feel a little disappointed that they think you lost your mojo, lost your ability, that touch you had in the campaign to inspire. >> yeah. >> and lead. and, you know, everybody in washington writes about sort of aloofness that you have. i'm sure that drives you crazy. how do you respond to that? the argument -- people made the argument you let other people define you. that you haven't sold your successes well enough. >> i think it's a fair argument. you know, i think that over the course of two years we were so busy and so focused on getting a
7:04 am
bunch of stuff done that we stopped paying attention to the fact that leadership isn't just legislation. that it's a matter of persuading people and giving them confidence. and bringing them together. and setting a tone. and making an argument that people can understand. and i think that we haven't always been successful at that and i take personal responsibility for that, and it's something that i have got to examine carefully as i go forward. >> joining us now from washington for a closer look at the president's remarks is bob woodward of "the washington post" who's, of course, also the author of best selling book "obama's wars." bob, good morning. >> good morning. >> how interesting has it been to observe the president over the last 48 hours or so and just even listening in on that short
7:05 am
clip from the interview with steve croft? what do you see when you watch the president? >> first, he is humbled and maybe humiliated to a certain extent so he has to grovel a little bit which is what he's doing. he talks about persuasion and, of course, what voters, what people want, they want problems fixed. and, he hasn't yet fixed some of the main issues, particularly the economy. and but what all of this shows, i think, harry, is there's this concentration of power and expectation in the presidency to an extent that we've never seen before. obama's out every day campaigning or doing something. some people want him to handle all these problems in a way instantly and, of course, he can't and he's not done this. >> it certainly seems as if he's
7:06 am
faced with some decisions here. as he's jumping on an airplane to go to india, he'll have plenty of time to think about what he does coming back. he's extended the invitation to the leadership in the house, the senate from both sides of the aisles. said, let's come together, let's have dinner. what does he need to decide? what does he need to figure out as the new republican-dominated congress comes into office in january? >> i think probably three things. first of all, what he's got this political problem of dealing with the republicans, how's he going to approach that? what's going to be the strategy? how willing is he going to be to compromise? second, i think the economy. unemployment, big, big deal. these problems can't be solved in a year or two years. he's got to develop a real long-term problem, five, ten years, he's got to get the republicans to sign on to some
7:07 am
of that. and then the third area is foreign policy. the war in afghanistan. the threat of terror is very real. >> as you've been able to observe so closely all these different administrations, this one included, who does he call, who does he have a conversation with, who does he go for a walk in the woods with sort to speak in order to formulate who he is for the next two years? >> one of the things i think you find and i find in the reporting on this the circle's too narrow. he's got to broaden it. he's got to get opinions outside that narrow group in the white house. i suspect he's going to be not just calling the republican leaders for dinner, he's going to be calling lots of old hands in the democratic party, in the world. i suspect he'll have bill
7:08 am
clinton in. i suspect he might even have george w. bush in. he has to think it through in a much larger context. the white house game plan has been too narrow. people don't like that. he's got to be much more inclusive. >> obama's wars is bob woodward's latest book. we thank you for taking the time to be with us this morning. >> thank you. >> we appreciate it. you can see more of the interview with president obama on "60 minutes" sunday night right here on cbs. maggie? >> thanks, harry. now to wall street and the jobs report. just out this morning. the good news is the economy added 151,000 new jobs. which is more than was expected. bad news is unemployment rate remained at a robust 9.6%. cbs news business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is here with more. good morning. >> good morning, maggie. >> this is what happened in october, good but not ideal.
7:09 am
>> good but not ideal because the economy just to keep pace with population growth needs to add 100,000 jobs every single month. 200,000 jobs would be ideal and numbers upwards of there would be ideal because the fact remains 14.8 million people are still unemployed in this country. >> one of the jobs, one of the goals of the federal reserve is to add more jobs and so ed you and i talked about the move of $600 billion toward that effort and yesterday we saw dow surge because of it. >> we did see the dow surge more than 200 points yesterday and important to think about it from a psychological perspective, as well. yesterday's market activity put us back in a place where we stood before the entire collapse of the financial system, before lehman brothers, the company around since before the great depression went out of business. so, traders, veteran floor traders very happy to see things respond positively to the fed's action and say we're not out of the woods yet because the fed's
7:10 am
action is risky and very expensive and we have to make sure it works because otherwise we don't have a lot in our arsenal to fix the problems. >> the good news is that the fed's action not the only reason that the dow surged yesterday. there are other good indicators. >> there are. for one thing, politics is a big one. the fact remains that there's going to be gridlock more than likely in congress because of the fact that congress is now divided between the house and the senate and the democrats and republicans. wall street likes gridlock because not a lot will change going forward and rallying to see the bush tax cuts extended and more likely to see that now. >> retailers had gains. we are headed in the right direction. >> that is the good newses. a lot would like to see it faster. >> thank you. now here's jeff glor with a look at the headlines. good morning, jeff. >> hey, maggie. good morning to you. good morning, everyone. cuban authorities say there are no survivors following a fiery plane crash, 68 people lost their lives. twin engine aero caribbean plane
7:11 am
to havana last night when there was an emergency. it crashed in a remote area 220 miles east of havana. 40 of those on board were cuban. 28 foreigners. in pakistan, no survivors after a small plane went down after taking off from karachi this morning. they had engine trouble and crashed there. this morning, qantas airlines ceo said there was a material failure or faulty design. and a380 jet made an emergency landing you might remember in singapore yesterday with more than 460 people on board. there were no injuries there. new eruptions this morning in indonesia's mt. merapi volcano. the death toll topped 100 there as gas and ash reached mountain villages. in politics this morning, after a controversial election night, it appears the new governor of connecticut is maloy. he edged ahead of tom foley
7:12 am
after the votes in bridgeport, connecticut, were counted. the mayor announced the vote totals this morning. both had claimed victory. on tuesday, election officials ran out of regular ballots and had to use photo copied ballots and counted by hand. the vote totals still have to be certified. and the winner in washington state's u.s. senate race is the incumbent democrat patty murray. this race wasn't decided until late yesterday. took three days to count the ballots there. murray for a crowly beat republican challenger rossi to win a fourth term in washington. and an amazing story of generosity this mornmorning. a canadian couple that won $11 million in a lottery given away nearly all the money. they won last summer and not spent one thing on themselves. instead, they gave a little bit to family and donated the bulk of the $11 million to charities like churches, fire departments and hospitals.
7:13 am
>> but when they seen the check, their eyes really opened up wide. >> it made us feel good that we could do something to help other people. >> how amazing is that? they kept a little money in case of emergency as violet recovers from cancer treatment but they describe themselves as, quote, country hicks who have no fandangle things and they don't want them. pretty

than 157,000 people in the united states this year alone. that's more than colon, breast and bro pro state cancer combined. now, for the first time, there's evidence that a simple screening test can catch tumors earlier possibly reducing the number of deaths by as much as 20%. big news. dr. jennifer ashton is along with the details. good morning. >> good morning, harry. >> a study they stopped in progress because the news was so significant. >> exactly, harry. being called by many in the cancer world a game changer, a landmark study. this was a nationally done study looking at a little over 53,000 heavy smokers, age 55 to 74 years and looked at two groups, those that got a special type of cat scan known as a spiral ct and a standard chest x-ray found in those patients screened with a special type of ct scan had a 20% lower chance of lung cancer
7:16 am
death and 7% lower risk of others. there was no generally accepted screening test for lung. >> the problem with lung cancer is usually detected too late, too hard to treat. very, very complicated and very expensive to treat. >> exactly. >> 80 million people smoke in the united states. >> correct. >> as they're listening to this news, are they thinking, or should they be thinking, i need to get a ct scan? >> a question to discuss with their doctors. 15% of lung cancer occurs in people who have never smoked. so this study doesn't say anything about that group yet. we also need to remember that right now this test will not be covered by medicare or insurance. it averages about $300 so you would have to absorb that cost on your own and again if it applies to you, you have a suspicious finding on a cat scan, you need to be followed by someone that specializes in
7:17 am
diagnosing and treating lung cancer. >> people that smoke, they need to do what? >> never start smoking, harry. quitting smoking is one of the most important things you can do and will be doing ongoing research of what's the best type of screening but this is a huge finding. >> dr. jennifer ashton, as always, thank you so much. coming up, actor randy quaid says star whackers are forcing him and his wife to remain in hiding in canada. we'll speak with him exclusively about the behavior that's raising a lot of eyebrows. plus, daylight savings time is ending. we'll help you keep those shortening days from darkening your mood. how about a coastal soup and grilled shrimp salad combination at red lobster? or maybe skewers of tender, wood-grilled shrimp. or your choice of shrimp paired with wood-grilled chicken. all served with unlimited, freshly-baked cheddar bay biscuits.

7:34 am
>> we looked that the website. >> you didn't know about the court date. >> we didn't, no. we looked -- >> yeah. >> we monitored this website. >> but that's not what your lawyer said, right? the lawyer said the reason she did have to appear according to the authorities in santa barbara and the lawyer said she didn't want to leave you alone in vancouver. >> right. well, she is very close. we're very close couple. and, she has an opportunity to appear within the next few days and we're assessing our options as far as her appearance. >> okay. >> as far as we're concerned, we are going to do everything that legally that we have that protects our interests and our safety and, you know, we defer to our attorneys. >> okay. let's talk about the concerns that you have for your safety. you say thatht you're staying i vancouver, you are staying in
7:35 am
canada because you don't want to come to the states afraid of the people out to kill celebrities and you specifically. why do you have that fear? >> i have -- i have a fear that fear because there for the last three years and really the last 20 years i have been racketeered on. my finances have been decimated by a group of people such as my ex-attorney, my ex-business manager and an estate planner, specifically, and they have conspired together to -- to co-op my corporations, put in trustees without my knowledge. >> but are they now trying to kill you? >> well, yes. i mean, they -- not in a -- not a sense where, you know, they're going to come out and shoot me with a gun or anything like that but the way they've -- they've

7:37 am
