family's disappearance heads to court today. we'll talk with the father of one of the missing women early this tuesday morning, november one of the missing women early this tuesday morning, november 16th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs tuesday morning that's soggy here in new york city. i'm harry smth. >> i'm maggie rodriguez. let's take you to london where we know there will be a royal wedding next year. because prince william and long-time love kate middleton are now officially engaged. cbs news correspondent mark phillip in london this morning. mark, how's the mood now that it's official? >> reporter: pretty excited. yes, it is official. perhaps the most widely rumored wedding in recent times. the longest rumored is going to happen. prince william and kate middleton, his girlfriend since college, will get married next spring or summer. the details of the wedding have

not yet been announced. this is no surprise but in britain and around the world this is a big deal. the announcement of the engagement was made this morning in london. but it seems william actually proposed finally to kate while on a vacation last month in africa. and judging by the wording of the announcement, we are going to have to start to start calling her katherine. with one brief break-up, she and william have been a couple since the days at st. andrews university in scotland eight years ago. while they make an attractive couple, her suitability has always been an issue. she's not from an aristocratic background but what the royals and the country wants most is a marriage that will last. >> what they want is somebody who's not going to frighten the horses. kate middleton is it. if that's what she achieves by being midding class, that's fine. i think people have come across it. of course you want the fairytale

princess but she is our fai fairytale princess. >> reporter: the last fairytale wedding was between william's father prince charles and diana. and we all know how that went. this pairing has had a much longer trial run. the couple are very familiar with each other. in their university careers, at least. and have a lot more in common. both are 28 years old. the time and life when william always said he'd consider marriage and it all fits. a very serious question now is what kind of wedding this will be. a grand royal affair in one of london's big cathedral or modest in keeping with the astaur times. the decision has been made. now it is a time for small decisions about how, when and where. maggie? >> and we are going to start talking about all of that right now. mark phillips in london, thank

you. ingrid seward joins us. good morning. >> good morning. >> how will they pull it off and plan a royal wedding in less than a year? >> they always plan everything six months in advance. i guess they have been planning this. and i mean, gosh, if you wanted anyone to plan a wedding, you would get the lord chamberlain's office to do it. very organized. indeed. >> they have quite a bit of experience planning these sorts of things. >> they have -- >> it will be in the -- go ahead. >> sorry. they have a huge amount of experience. and the only sort of sad thing perh perhaps, i know diana experienced, she didn't have much to do with it herself. normally, it is the bride and the bride's mum but this this case it won't be. >> i wonder what kind of wedding then we can expect to see. because we all think back to july 29th, 1981. 750 million people around the world watched diana and charles walk down the aisle in that

beautiful cathedral of st. paul. do you think we'll see anything remotely close to this again? >> well, i don't know but i think traditionally, historically royal weddings were a cause to cheer the country. i mean, when the queen got married it was right after the war and there was still rationing and it was a great blast of joy and people used to use their coupons to help her with the clothes and i think it's not going to happen this time but i think maybe it will be bigger than grander than we imagined just as a way of cheering people up. >> exactly. and we are looking at britain's future queen, katherine elizabeth middleton who's different in many ways from diana. she is nine years older than diana when she was married. same age as her fiancee, unlike diana who was 13 years younger than charles.

do you think she is going to be or is already as beloved? >> no, but she will be our prince princess. i think people don't know her. never heard her speak. they've seen plenty of pictures. they don't know what she's like. remember, she is not our future queen. she is our future queen but one. charles is the next king and camilla will be our next queen. there is the generation gap there. so she won't have quite so much pressure as diana. >> what do we know about her? her family, she is so enigmatic. >> she comes from a very pretty, rural country. she's had a very cozy life. i mean, sort of enviable life. she went to school locally. always lived in this wonderful leafy area of barkshire and they stress no screaming traffic. it's been -- a brother and a sister and very, very close

family. and i think this is what the queen is hoping, coming from such a stable background is that she will make the perfect wife for william. she cooks, sews, beautiful. she looks after him. i mean, we have to remember, of course, that william's mum died, you know, when he was very young. he was 15 when diana was killed and obviously there's a part of him that does look for a mother figure. i think she is -- she fills that role. >> do you think that we'll see more of kate in the coming months? will they start to bring her out more as the wedding approaches or will we have to wait until after the her better? >> that is the burning question. i hope we see more of her. i don't know how they'll play it. what happened with diana with diana living at clarence house and she was -- i beg your pardon. buckingham palace. very lonely. she 19 years old. this girl has her own friends, a close-knit family.

i think we'll see a bit more and see her doing a bit of charity work and we will see her over christmas if, indeed, prince william goes. >> what do you think that people expect to see in the coming months? what do you think people are hoping to see in the coming months? >> i think people are hoping to see her doing a bit of something with children, something with charity. especially, as it's christmas coming up. maybe she'll appear at a soup kitchen or doing something with the poor. i mean, none of this may happen but i think that's what people would like to see. she might just retreat back into her life but i just think people need to see her doing something. >> i don't know that she'll be able to retreat back into her life as of this moment. >> that's the wrong word. >> all right. ingrid seward, thank you very much for your time this morning. >> thank you very much, indeed. >> have a good day. here's harry. >> maggie, thank you very much. we turn to washington

politics. dozens of candidates just elected to congress going to capitol hill this week. many tea party candidates and already had quite an impact on the capital. a leading tea supporter candidate jim demint joins us this morning. good morning. >> good morning, harry. i don't think i can compete with a royal wedding but let's try. all right? >> you know, it's apples and oranges and morning tv. we appreciate your time and patience this morning, senator. mitch mcconnell, leading republican in the senate. does a complete about face yesterday and says, you know what? let's take all of these earmarks, they're off the table. we are no longer in the earmark business, followed immediately by the president saying, you know what? this is something we can agree on. is this the beginning of a cultural change in the nation's capital? >> i really think it is. this is why mitch mcconnell is a great leader for the republicans. he listened to fellow republicans but more importantly he listened to the voters.

parochial, wasteful park barrel earmarks have been wasting money for years here and kept the focus on local parking garages rather than the nation's business. i think this is the beginning of a cultural change, away from the culture of spending. >> right. but at the tame tisame time, mas just symbolic. 1% change of the total budget. >> much more than that in that it greases the skids for more spending, bad legislation. i've seen it happen for the 12 years that i have been in the house and the senate. we need to end this because you've got over 500 congressmen and senators today think they're here to take home the bacon. the country's in too much trouble to have that kind of focus. >> interesting. how surprised were you that the president spoke out immediately saying we are on board, too? >> well, the president co-sponsored this legislation when i introduced it when he was

in the senate and spoken out for it before and i think it could be something that we work together on. we've got to look at every place to cut spending and i think this is a great place to start. >> all right. cutting spending, is a great place to start and people feel like, wow, that's a really good idea. meantime, how much money is coming through the pipeline. and of course, these bush tax cuts are due to expire. is there some point of commonality between the white house and especially with conservative republicans as this gets closer down to time to either sign on or sign off? >> i think most people in congress know, harry, that we can't raise taxes in the middle of a recession. and the upper income that they talk about being the rich, that includes 750,000 small businesses that employ tens of millions of americans. we can't raise taxes on them. so, i think the president is come around to the idea of let's keep current rates the same. we are not trying to cut taxes. we want to keep current rates

the same. i'm going to introduce legislator today with mike pence from the house that would make the current rates permanent. if we do that, then businesses will know what their taxes will be well out into the future. they can plan expansion, plan hiring people. we can want keep this uncertainty going in washington. >> in the end of the day, would you settle for two-year extension on the top? >> well, i don't know. i'm going to fight for the permanent. two years is not enough to plan the expansion of a plant. >> got it. >> so i think the short-term view of politicians doesn't work in our economy. >> all right. senator, thank you very much. do appreciate it. we'll let you get back to finding the details of the royal wedding. >> thanks, harry. >> take care. do appreciate it. all right. let's get more news now. erica hill, good morning. >> good morning. i'm sure he's planning the travel as we speak. new questions and protests and all centered around airport security. with the busy holiday season about to kick off, many airline passengers say it is not the crowds they're worried about

this year. it is the airport screeners. cbs news correspondent john teague joins us from arlington, virginia, with more on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. i'm at rapid scan systems where they make the body scanners really an advance in airport security many worry is an invasion of privacy. >> go ahead and move inside. put your arms above your head. >> reporter: the latest weapon against terrorism in the skies, advanced imaging technology machines or aits are being called a high-tech strip searches by some people. >> i'm not going to do it at all. never. not once am i going to show them my naked body. >> reporter: homeland security secretary janet napolitano defends their use. >> we're not doing this just to do it. we're doing it because we need to keep powders and gels and liquids off of planes that are unauthorized. >> reporter: some passengers just aren't buying it. >> they asked me to go through

the scanner. i told them, i don't think so. >> reporter: john tooyner opted for a pat down offered by the tsa and felt that went too far. he recorded what happened in the san diego airport on his cell phone. >> i'm going to place my hand on your hip. the other hand on the inner thigh going up and down. >> okay. >> if you'd like to a private screening, we can make that available. >> we can do that out here but if you touch my junk we'll have a problem. >> reporter: soon a supervisor arri arrived. >> this is not a sexual assault. >> it is if you're not the government. >> reporter: tyner faces legal trouble and while some others share the concern -- >> i don't know. i think it invades a little privacy. >> reporter: a cbs news poll released monday shows 81% of americans support the use of the full body scans. flying a couple of times a month. i'm more worried about being

blown up in the air than the body imaging. >> reporter: evidence perhaps that people are willing to give up some privacy for transit to safety in the sky. well, we were going to give you a live demonstration this morning. i can tell you i went through the machine an hour ago. apparently the image so horrifying the machine shut down and won't boot up again. they don't save these images but we can't show you the live demonstration we hoped to. i can tell you they have 385 of these machines in airports around the country right now. by the end of this year, there will be about 500 of these in service. erica? >> thanks. talk about taking one for the team. i hope they're not scarred after the morning. >> they scrubbed the drives for sure. >> hope they get it back up and running soon. thanks. there is a report out this morning on the home foreclosure crisis which finds it could get worse. we are talking much worse. the reason here is actually one you have heard before. improper paperwork by big banks and mortgage lenders. the report comes from a

congressional watchdog panel saying $6.4 trillion in mortgages at stake. it notes fundamental property rights issues questioned and cautions the market foundation could collapse which would undermine the country's financial stability. there's a new development this morning in the case of missing teenager natalee holloway. experts are testing a bone found in aruba. a dutch newspaper says it was found by tourists on a beach. experts want to see if it belongs to holloway who disappeared in aruba more than five years ago. a raging bull injured at least four people at a rodeo in canada. the bull if you can see it there in the video, there we go. watch it. jumps over the rail. lands into the crowd. a woman suffered a broken pelvis and jaw. amazing there's not more damage. this could be one of the biggest deals ever for itunes. the beatles' catalog available

murderer played by dwayne johnson, the rock. did you know each other before you worked on the movie? >> no, we didn't, actually. we had a lot of mutual friends. and we were always sending messages to each other through those friends. and saying, hey, we should work together sometime, i'd like to meet you and that kind of thing. and, you know, people see a guy like him, and it's so big and everything, and they think he's intimidating. that's the nicest guy i think i've ever worked with. >> i second that. he's been here before and he's actually just a giggle. >> he really is. >> what was it like to work together? >> it was pretty great. the thing is in the movie there's sort of a cat and mouse thing going on. >> right. >> so we really, like the lead people in the movie don't really have a lot to do with eac other a lot of times in the movie. so we're on the set together a lot, but, actual scenes together, there weren't that many. so, it was kind of odd. i've done movies like that before. it's always strange for people to say, hey, how was so and so to work with? i don't know. but we do have some stuff

together. it was terrific. and dwayne does a great job in it. >> thisovie is so interesting. it's unique in a couple of ways. one is that your characters actually don't have names. your character is just cop, and his character is just driver. does the ambiguity of the character make it easier or harder for you to play the character? >> i think in this case, it makes it easier. you know, the character, you learn a lot about the character's tasks, you know. just because the script was written, in such a way to give you that information. but, i think in this case it was really nice to be a bit ambiguous. i'm attracted to roles like that anyway. and i'm playing a guy who also, his life's kind of gone down the wrong path. he's a cop but he's kind of tired, ready to get it over with and rejoin his estranged family and that kind of thing. and that attracted me to it, also. that type of character. and i have a son in the movie,

and this little kid, aidan, who played my son, and a girl named moon bloodgood plays my wife, she's a terrific actress. on the set i'll never forget, the kid he comes up to me, aidan, little short, kind of row tund kid, terrific, he came up to me the first day, without even saying hello or anything, he goes, he goes, hey, you know those capital one commercials with the vikings? and i go, yeah, i love those. he goes, you know the fat kid? i go, yeah. he goes, that's me. >> that's hysterical. did you say, you know that movie i won an oscar for writing, that's me? >> it was pretty funny. >> do you think you'll ever do anything like that? do you think you'll ever do anything like that again? >> oh, write and direct and star -- >> i though that you're directing a movie now. but do you think that you'll lean more in that direction versusabilitying in the future or will you try to continue to do it all? >> i love it all. so i'll probably keep trying to do that. i mean maybe, you know, once you

get, you know, god willing you get up in your 80s or 90s you can, you know, i always thought it would be nice to retire on a television show like peter boyle is on with his show, you know, just kind of sit in a chair and like make a comment. >> "everybody loves raymond." >> exactly. >> you also find time for music with your group. what do you get from singing and being a musician that you don't get from acting? >> well, i've always been comfortable in the music business because i grew up in it before acting. but, i guess the real difference for me is that when you're playing live you get an immediate reaction from people. where in movies, people if you're not there when the people are watching your movie, so you never know what the reaction is. but i think maybe you get more of a visceral high. >> yeah. >> from music. >> you know. >> so movies, i think the part that keeps you in your head is really good in movies. >> well, we love it all and we're happy you plan to continue doing it all. >> thank you. >> thanks a lot, billy bob. "faster" will be in theaters

nationwide next wednesday, a week from tomorrow. over to you, erica. >> 345g i go, thanks. winter is just a few short weeks away although it could already feel as if it's arrived where you are. this morning we have the coolest coats to keep you toasty warm in the coming months. joining us for that, katrina szish is here with some of her favorites this season. we always love having you here because you have fun stuff that's also within range. >> yes, absolutely. well let's start right off, sporty coats are some of those that have the most advanced technology, because of course when you're out there doing athletics you need to have something that's breathable, but also keeps you warm. >> and they don't look like the old sort of ski jackets that we were used to. especially the one we see right here. >> and they don't have to be neon which is always -- >> thank you. >> they can be. on brittany we have a burton jet set jacket. what is great is it does have a feminine face as you pointed out. but it is a waterproof shell but lined with a very thin insulation so it keeps you warm and dry. you can wear it with simple leggings on the weekend or with jeans or even on the slopes. >> it's really cute.

>> we have a hat which is great and then we've got these cute little north face boots from zappos.com. >> faux fur lined which i love. >> charles is kind of our ruggedly handsome gentleman here. we have this columbia parka. it's a little pricier at $280. but it's three jackets in one. you get the parka that you're seeing here, plus the liner zips out, so then you just have a stand-alone goose down jacket. and then you can also can wear the shell by itself for those activity-filled days. >> i say those are great. my husband has one of those jackets and it is a life saver. >> it's amazing. inside is one of my favorite details. it's got this omni thermal heat lining which actually retains your body heat while looking pretty snazzy. it's a shiny silver. >> it almost looks like those sort of aluminum foil looking blankets. >> exactly what it is. it retains your body heat. it is very lightweight and we talked about some gloves that have the same technology inside, keeps you warm.

and some boots. waterproof. >> i have to get those after the show. i have very poor circulation. >> me, too. up next you have the modern puffer jacket. i've noticed since i have moved to new york this seems to be the jacket to have to keep you warm on the street. >> yes. it is. but of course a lot of us think okay, great, puffer jacket equals michelin man or boring colors. and in the gymboree jacket you can see there's nothing boring about this polka dot jacket. i wish they made this in my size. this is $30 from gymboree. it's really a fun look. you can compare it with other bright colors. we added a scarf and these old navy boots. which i think are great. >> the whole outfit is fantastic. i love it, paige. >> on martina you can see you don't have to be the michelin man. this one is filled with an ultralight down. it's $90. and you can really cinch that waist. you're not having all of those layers and big, you know, baffles and everything. and this one is great because it's vest till and sleek. you can wear it to the office.

you can wear it on the-week-old and. and you can even wear it to all the holiday parties. >> and $90. they are stepping up in the market. >> great selection. absolutely. so it's fashionable and functional. >> i will take both. so we've got the puffer jacket, you've got your sporty coat. classics with a twist is your next round of jackets here. >> yeah. here we go. we all love our classic wool coats in early fall. but when it gets chilly you can feel the wind blowing right through them. so we found some classic military-inspired jackets that actually have different types of lining in them that will protect you from those windy days. now first on brady we have a 77 kids by american eagle, plaid coat. and of course it looks like we've layered but the coat comes layered already. >> so that little -- >> it's a fully quilted lining. with a quilted hood, and adorable wool pea coat. so it's extra warm. plus, we've finished the look off with one of the hottest trends of the season, anything buffalo plaid. our boots from ralph lauren from

endless.kwom. >> and when you've got someone like brady they always look cute. >> they always look cute. >> now on cassidy we have this grate coat from delia's. it's lined with thinsulate. so it's very lightweight but also very warm. you can continue that military inspired trend that we were all loving in early fall right through the winter. we added also a buffalo plaid accent again with the lands' end canvas trappers hat. one of the hottest silhouettes and patterns of the season. >> i do have to ask you quickly about that hat. i started to see them last year and i said to my husband, i think i need one of those. but they're very in, aren't they? >> they're very in. they keep your eyes warm which is very important. >> i'm with you. >> and then of course over the knee boots are always a fun way to be sexy in the city. all right and finally on brant we have one of the most classic looks here, classic navy pea coat. what's great about this. it has a fully quilted lining.

all of the seams are really, they're welted, they're insulated. they have hand warmer pockets, extra deep. $198. and of course, we finish it off with buffalo plaid, again. this time in the tie version. >> that is a coat, too, that you will have year after year. >> year after year after year. it's really durable. it's really rugged. and finish the look off with l.l. bean signature boots. >> for more of these looks and more information logon to our website at earlyshow.cbsnews.com. before we let you go, though, there's a little something i understand that you have planned. >> looking to help some folks out there. some "early" show viewers a little something we're calling makeover mondays. >> i'm so excited about it. basically if there's anyone, any of you at home if you need a makeover or know someone who needs one or deserves one, you've got to e-mail us. absolutely and we're going to try to get you on the show and give you a fabulous makeover. you can do it at earlyshow.cbsnews.com. >> i love that. you want to hear, of course, why this person should be chosen. what they need to do, send us a
