biggest car company a whole lot smaller after restructuring. cbs news business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis on the new york stock exchange this horn i morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> you were there for the initial bankruptcy hearings and now gm trading publicly again. this is significant on so many fronts, rebecca. >> reporter: this is a major milestone for general motors and the country. less two years ago general motors was on the verge of collapse. literally hundreds of thousands of manufacturering jobs in this country potentially going to go away. the government at the time then steps in with a $50 billion loan, a very controversial decision at the time to save the struggling automaker and today it's sort of a major milestone in that story in that general motors will be going public. its shares begin trading here at the new york stock exchange at $33 apiece and expected to raise about $23 billion overall in the transaction.

and that will help pay back our taxpayer stake in the company to the tune of about half so we'll be getting back about half of the investment. >> which is great. i think it may be an incentive for consumers who were turned off by the government ownership to start investing in the brand again which is really what it takes to keep gm successful. >> reporter: it absolutely will. maggie, such a good point. not only is what's happening today important but the future of the company's stock price is important. right now the stock debuts at $33 a share and significant because it has to continue to climb in order to make back all of our investment. in fact, we have to get basically $44 a share to get back the $50 billion investment. there's been a lot of excitement, of course, here at the new york stock exchange as well as around the world to invest in this transaction. >> so we'll watch it closely. rebecca jarvis on wall street, thank you. >> thanks. >> here's harry.

now to alaska's historic senate race w.s4vn÷ handful of votes left to be counted, lisa murkowski says she has won a new term. that would be a significant loss for sarah palin who tried to knock out her opponent and failed. before we speak with the senator, let's get to the story from capitol hill. cbs news congressional correspondent nancy cordes there with the latest. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, harry. this is a huge uphill battle for lisa murkowski urged by republican leaders not wage this campaign after she lost the primary bid. she had to convince alaska voters to write in her name in huge numbers and it appears she was successful. >> and so today, my friends, my campaign for alaska's future begins. >> reporter: it was a risky bid and the risk paid off. the last successful senate write-in campaign more than 50 years ago but wednesday senator

lisa murkowski announced she'd done it. >> we did. we made history. alaskans made history. >> reporter: with just 750 ballots left to count, murkowski is leading her gop rival tea party enthusiast joe miller by more than 10,000 votes. miller is challenging more th than,000 of the votes, especially ones misspelled but that still gives murkowski a 2,000-vote lead. he may be trailing but miller isn't conceding. >> it's not a question as to how i feel and whether or not the voters of the state of alaska deserve to have a consistent standard applied in the future, whether or not they deserve integrity in the vote and those are questions that aren't answered yet. >> reporter: it's a big blow for former alaska governor sarah palin who backed miller from the start. in a new interview with barbara walters, palin wouldn't say whether she'll run for president in 2012 but did redikt the outcome if she did. >> if you ran for president,

could you beat barack obama? >> i believe so. >> reporter: murkowski cold katie couric this feel how she feels about her fellow alaska republican. >> i just do not think that she has those leadership qualities, that intellectual curiosity that allows for building good and great policies. >> reporter: murkowski will return to capitol hill in a unique position. not be holden to the republican leaders that turned their backs on her and not beholden to the tea party that did everything to defeat her. harry? >> nancy cordes on capitol hill, thank you. senator murkowski joins us from anchorage. good morning, senator. >> good morning. nice to be with you. >> talk about how important it is that people in alaska knew how to spell murkowski. >> we did the unprecedented. we made history.

over 100,000 alaskans affirmatively said, it's important to me and to this election to fill in the oval and spell out my name correctly. to see that recorded as part of the write-in and not know, who did they fill in? we have now learned that alaskans spoken and they've written it out, as well. pretty historic. >> joe miller has threatened to demand a recount. the republican party is saying you ought to concede. should he concede? >> well, the numbers are just not there for him. and i think that mr. miller recognizes that, as well. right now, with all of the ballots that are in, we are significantly up, well over 10,000 votes. even if every ballot that the miller camp had challenged throughout this write-in campaign, even if every one of

them were tossed out we would be winning this campaign and doesn't add up for him. >> let's talk about things that add up come the new term in washington in january. you're an old-fashioned alaskan republican. certainly, a fan of earmarks and gone out of fashion just in the last couple of weeks. how are you going to fit in? >> well, it's not all about earmarks. it is all about making sure that you do the best job that you possibly can to represent your state. it's going to be a different landscape as it relates to earmarks. i think we all recognize that but i will be insistent that as a legislator, as one who represents the interests of the state of alaska i'm going to make sure that alaska's voices are heard. >> you talked to kay tu couric earlier this week and you said you thought sarah palin lacked the intellectual curiosity to be a good presidential candidate and it turns out sarah palin had

a conversation with barbara walters yesterday and she said she thinks she can beat barack obama in 2012. would you vote for her? >> i've already said that i would not. obviously, 2012 seems like a long way for most of us although those that will engaged in poll sicks were gearing up yesterday. that's clearly the direction that things are taking. i think it remains to be seen who will step forward on the republican side. but it sounds like things are getting heated already. >> senator lisa murkowski, we thank you very, very much for taking the time to be with us today. thank you. >> thank you. good to be with you. >> let's get more news now. erica hill just back from london at the news desk. >> good morning to you and to everyone at home. in germany this morning, a terror scare leading to beefed up security at airports and about a tip of a landed attack. in munich, a plane landed from

africa after a long delay. police found a suitcase with a fuse and batteries to the batteries and a clock but no explosives irks. the verdict isyu guantanamo detainee tried in a civil can court and seen as a serious set back for the government. and will be sentenced to possibly 20 years or life in prison for terrorism. he have found guilty on one of more than 280 charges against him including 224 counts of murder. standing by this morning is cbs news national security analyst juan sarati. you called this verdict a disaster for the government. representative peter king of new york told "the new york times" it's a tragic wake-up call and underscore it is need for military tribunals no these kinds of cases y. this reaction

this morning? >> reporter: i think this result which is a very mixed result, only one conviction out of 286 counts is hugely problematic, demonstrate it is dom pli cases of high-level al qaeda figures from guantanamo into the civilian legal system. complications of evidence, the longevity of the detention. it also demonstrates the contradictions of trying to hold somebody accountable in the criminal system, even if we are going to hold them in custody regardless of the verdict. and so, in many ways i think this starts to close the debate on the use of civilian trials for high-level guantanamo detainees and color the debate of how to handle khalid shaikh mohammed. >> working up that, i want to take you back. you mentioned the challenges of presentation of evidence and people saying that is one of the reasons that, in fact, this is the verdict that was given yesterday. talk to us about what was not

allowed to be presented in court by the prosecution. >> reporter: well, the judge disallowed a key witness, a witness allegedly sold ghailani the explosives. that witness disallowed because the identity discovered while he was in cia custody before being transferred. also, his own statements given to the fbi presented in guantanamo were not presented by prosecutors. they viewed that as potentially problematic introducing the complicated issues and so those were key pieces of evidence not presented. weren't before the jury and certainly colored the verdict. >> juan zarate, thanks as always. turning to the debate in this country over the latest security measures for anyone traveling by air. full body scans and pat down searches, the new transportation security administration rules have served protests as expressed at a senate hearing yesterday.

>> i wouldn't want my wife to be touched in this way. >> there's got to be a way, however, for a privacy concern to be addressed. >> the senators were addressing the head of the tsa summited to testify and did not back down. >> do i understand the sensitivities of people in yes. if you're asking am i going to change the policies, no. >> the tsa did respond to complaints of parents eliminating the intrusive searches of children under the age of 12. how about finding this under the hood? there you go. your new friend. in your car. a nine-foot red-tail boa constrictor around the engine of a car yesterday in lancaster, california, for warmth. believed to be an escaped pet. dave price is still on the no-way-home journey hope fles closer to us today and before checking in with him, i want to get you a check of the day's weather. biggest problems in the northwest. take a look at this.

snoqualmie pass, east of seattle, several inches of snow in the past 24 hours. meantime, the northwest is going to see more clouds, rain and snow showers along with that, heavy snow in the mountains. in the northeast, a mix of sun and clouds and a few showers around the great lakes. it will be sunny, though, and mild in the southeast and the ,, >> quick check of the weather at 14 minutes past the hour. now here's maggie. >> thank you. the latest on the royal

wedding. the morning the word from london is prince william and kate midd middleton may have found the place, a familiar place to tie the knot. elizabeth palmer is outside buckingham palace with the story. liz, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, we don't know what the place is yet. it's the greatest guessing game in town as you can imagine. however, one daily mail wiley photographer got a photograph of kate middleton coming out of westminster abee last night on what was clearly a reconnaissance trip. there's absolutely nothing in the picture or kate's expression to say westminster abee is chosen but it's a strong contender. the queen herself was married here in 1947 and her mother, william's great grandmother in 1923. another possibility, st. paul's cathedral may be second favorite as it was the backdrop of the wedding which ended in a very messy divorce.

once they have decided where, the royal couple will have to decide how big. they're aware that britain's suffering through the deepest recession since the war. it is thought that the queen and prince charles would foot most if not all of the bill for a lavish wedding which means the middletons, kate's parents, would not. taxpayers would be left for a tab for security. still, it seems many britains are in the mood for a party. >> i think relative size of everything else, a bank bailout, a fraction. and it's going to be such a good day. >> reporter: retailers are gearing up for what they hope will be a bonanza. in fact, it started. the blue dress kate wore for the first public interview is flying off the racks and some optimists think a blow-out royal wedding could refloat the whole economy. >> a fantastic social occasion to affect everybody in the united kingdom and billions of people around the world. i cannot think of a better

excuse to gird up the loins and be positive about life. >> reporter: now, we hear that kate middleton is actually staying in buckingham palace which is just behind me and getting to know the queen better now and over the christmas holidays been invited to christmas with the royal family. before i go. i have something to show you. we managed to get hold of the two of the very first royal wedding mugs. these are already on the stands. no date yet or at least there's a date of the announcement but not the date of the royal wedding so might make them collector's items. >> might? for sure. elizabeth palmer in london, thank you so much, liz. if it's a tantamount to a bank bailout, i hope it ends like gm's with the taxpayers paid back. shifting gears talking about the big story out of los angeles. who murdered a big-name hollywood publicist in beverly

telling "larry king live" why she taped him ranting on the telephone and explaining why she did not leave him sooner. we'll hear some of that interview coming up, as well. first, police are searching for a murder suspect or murder suspects in a most unlikely place, beverly hills, where a publishist to the stars was gunned down on a quiet street and no one knows why. cbs news national correspondent ben tracy has the latest on the bizarre case that has hollywood buzzing. >> reporter: a murder mystery that has all of hollywood talking. 64-year-old celebrity publicist ronni chasen died violently shot multiple times in the chest while driving home from a movie premiere tuesday in the middle of this multi-million dollar beverly hills neighborhood, a drive she made nearly every day. so far, police are stumped. >> we don't have a motive at this time. we don't have any suspect information. >> reporter: although no shell casings were found close to the investigation told cbs news they

believe chasen was shot waiting to make a left turn and the passenger window was blown out. after the barrage of bullets, chasen floored the gas pedal slamming her car into a pole. >> i think this was a professional job, may have been a hit man, hired by somebody out to get her. >> reporter: chasen was gunned down after midnight tuesday after he leaving the premiere of the movie "brur lefk" a fixture in hollywood since the 1980s, handled publicity for films like drif"driving miss daisy" and on golden pond. she positioned actors and films for oscars, currently working with michael douglas for "wall street: money never sleeps." >> you stop telling lies about me, i'll stop telling the truth about you. >> people called me up and were -- were crying or feeling ill from the shock of it. >> reporter: chasen was working until the very end, just minutes before she was shot, she

reportedly called her office and left a voice mail reminding her of things she needed to do the next day. ben tracy, cbs news, hollywood. >> joining us now is former los angeles police chief bill bratton. good to see you. thanks for being here girchlts to be back. thank you. >> what a strange story. of all place beverly hills very few murders usually maybe one a year. an unusual place for a murder to take place. >> this has all the makings of a classic hollywood who-done it, "columbo" the scenario you would see on that old tv show. >> on this cross-street that goes right across beverly hills, she's gunned down, multiple shots, close range. if you just came upon this, what would the several scenarios come to mind in terms of? what could you possibly trace this back to? >> you start with a blank slate and the scenarios are, los angeles, possible gang drive-by,

beverly hills, very unlikely. road rage very potentially likely in a lot of those incident in california and los angeles. a crime of passion, somebody who knew her, they have not determined, to the best of my knowledge, as to whether there was possibly somebody else in the car. fourth, could be the idea of an unintended consequence, that she was killed and they were looking for somebody else. >> it seems to me, and not -- knowing as little as we do, this feels -- it has that hollywood feel from the standpoint of so many movies have been done and stories told about gangs and whatnot. could it it one of those situations where we -- here's this random person, go kill this random person, is that a possibility? >> well, that's one of the scenarios that i laid out. in beverly hills, much less likely than elsewhere in the los angeles region, where drivebys, the gang driveby basically was born in los angeles. but beverly hills, just doesn't

have that type of shooting. a road rage, a much more likely type of event. >> the street she was killed on i'm very familiar with, a well known shortcut from willshire up to sunset. what they will be doing lit raem rally from where she left the event she left they will look at every potential camera on the road, was she caught at all, did she have an altercation somewhere along the line. >> we get more and more familiar every day with these surveillance cameras kind of popping up everywhere. is that a place that typically would have maybe even, you know, some sort of coverage. >> well, you have red light cameras, in terms of you have cameras in the vicinity of stores. you have -- that's a high-security neighborhood. everybody has some type of security. >> right. >> so, really, from where she left the grummond theater, they will try to chase every potential camera along the route they believe she took. >> one of the other parts of the story, they immediately went and

confiscated all of her computer files. because, if she had enemies, theoretically, they would pop up someplace

in this morning's money watch, is free shipping really free? if you plan to do your holiday shopping from home you need to read the fine print about shipping and other online offers. regina lewis is here with money-saving tips. good morning. >> good morning, maggie. >> before the specific policies of each, tell chus are offering free shipping binchts 80% of them say they will offer fully shipping at some point which generally means sooner rather than later. here's why, the big players, walmarts, targets, best buys, sears, jcpenneys of the world offering free shipping able to negotiate really good standard shipping rates. later in the game, they have to pay the u.p.s. and fedexes of the world a pre yum and less

likely to absorb that and will pass that cost along to you. >> we have to read the fine print because there are plenty of surprises to be found. >> and sooner rather than later. >> can you give us some specific examples? >> sure. we've got a list of actual caveats. for instance, where is it going to be shipped to? sometimes if you buy online but say you've got to pick it up in the store, particularly on hot items, we saw this happen with guitar hero in years past because most major etailors are major retailrs, as well. >> is it easy it find this information or do you really have to dig through the website to find it? >> sometimes you don't find it until halfway through the check-out process. keep in mind keep watching. the second thing, you've got to know the code in order for free shipping to begin usually on a front screen or go to the search box on your computer type in the e-tailoer plus the coupon. >> so just don't assume they

will give it you to. >> not automatically. >> will you most likely have to enter a code. >> often. sometimes it's "santa" or "free ship" sometimes you have to hunt for it, not necessarily automatic. the other thing is a price barrier, do you have to meet a certain pricing threshold. in which case you have to look at that, if you he two $50 items try to find the place you can buy both from the same site. the other, the biggie, free shipping but only on certain items. take best buy offering free shipping as we said but if you fill your cart with an apple laptop, oop, not on those. >> where can you get free shipping. >> dvds, some not all. even walmart, 60,000 items are shipping for free but they have more than a million items. >> good point. one thing that deters me from shopping online. the thought of having to return something after you have bought something online. is that difficult. >> it works like catalog

companies like we've grown up with. if it is not an online-only item so, gap, barnes & noticeable. afternoontimes they include a pre-paid envelope, very convenient, you think great, put the item in there and ship it back. prepaid does not mean no cost. here's how it works. put your $20 item in the readily available pre-paid envelope, mail it back and they credit your account for $15. 20 minus the five dollars but you do get that. >> didn't know that. thank so you much. >> we found good deals for people out there and will put those on the website for. money, go to to moneywatch dut com. coming up next mel gibson's exsays she recorded his rants because she was afraid they would be killed. we'll tell you what else she had to say about their troubled relationship here on "the early show." hey, babe. oh, hi, honey! so i went to the doctor today, then picked up a few extra things for the baby.

go to chase.com/freedom. buckingham palace this morning where kate middleton is reportedly visiting the queen getting ready for their royal wedding. now that they're engaged everyone wants to know about it. westminster abbey reportedly may be the place where william will wed kate. there is much more to talk about this morning. let's go back to becoack to buckingham palace for the latest on the engagement. ingrid, good morning to you. >> good morning, maggie. it's very exciting here in london. >> very exciting, especially now -- >> sorry, maggie. >> kate has been spotted going to westminster abbey. can you confirm she was there and that this may, in fact be the place? >> she was photographed there by the "daily mail" last night with

some -- her detectives and william's staff. so i think almost certainly that is where it's going to be. and we're just waiting for the official announcement. >> i find it a curious choice. i mean, it is a church that is steeped in more than 1,000 years of history. it is the coronation church. would you be surprised that it was westminster abbey for that reason? >> well, i think that it's obviously got very poignant memories for william. but this is where royal weddings happen. logistically it works. it's near buckingham palace. if there was a terrorist threat there are underground passages. all in all, it works. >> yesterday prince william's spokesman stressed that the wedding would not be a state occasion, unlike the one for charles and diana because he is not the king or immediate heir

to the throne. it could cost $11.6 million. how is that a price tag going over there? >> i think it's been -- they're saying it's even more here. they say it could be anything up to $40 million because of the security because of all the terrorist threats and everything that we get nowadays. they've got the military, the police, and the secret service. they've all got to be coordinated. but charles is actually picking up the tab for the wedding. the queen will then pick up the tab for anything else. >> no, but the taxpayers -- that's what i was going to say. that could be hefty. that could be $30 million. >> yeah. >> what kind of reaction are you hearing to that? are people okay with it because they feel that they will get it back perhaps in tourism? >> people are absolutely fine about it. they're really up, the mood is really up. they're saying they don't mind what it costs. when you think of the money that the last government squandered, it's really a drop in the ocean.

and they're also predicting they'll get over a billion pounds worth of tourism here. >> we can hope, certainly. let's talk about the preparation. >> absolutely. >> do you know if kate has chosen a designer for her dress? >> i'm sure kate must. i mean, the first thing a girl does is think, what am i going to wear? i'm absolutely certain that she's already chosen the designer and they're probably as we speak making the dress. it could -- traditionally a bride chooses usually an unknown or unknown to us that aren't in the fashion business, designer. and it usually british. but kate is very keen on a designer called isa who actually made her engagement dress, which apparently has already sold out in that color. but i'm not sure who will get the deal for the dress. but whoever it is, it will make their lives. >> yes, that's perfectly put. ingrid suward, thank you for your time.

time to check in with dave who looks forelorend the last couple i of days to say the least. he started last fray day in anchorage, alaska, 50 dollars in miss pocket and his cell phone. the first two jackets he lost along the way, by monday made it to yak ka washington. things got difficult, tuesday in coeur d'alene, idaho and by yesterday morning only as far as

bozeman, montana. it was bleak, to say the least. but this morning he has taken a giant leap forward. first made it to denver and with a day left. >> oh, wow. >> cincinnati ohio. he's got to be feeling at least a little bit better. >> ahhh. >> there he's smiling, dave prims. good morning, dave. >> i'm so tired. i haven't slept, harry. here's the story. i made $600 yesterday. we'll explain that in a little while. last night, through the night, i traveled 948 nautical miles under the thousand mile limit. i'm not 654 miles from home. and the past 24 hours have been all about warmth. the warmth a coat provides and the warmth that people provide. since starting my trip six days ago in anchorage, the one thing that's bowled me over is the generosity of americans all across the country.

>> i so appreciate this. >> they've given me lifts, given me jobs. >> how many pounds of fish will i cut today? >> bought me dinners. they've even tried to keep me warm. >> this is great. >> you see, i started out with a down coat, which i left in a car when i got out in seattle. a couple coeur d'alene, idaho gave me another. >> i can't tell you what that means. unfortunately, i left that one in a hotel lobby. then, yesterday morning as i arrived in a snow-covered bozeman, montana i received the most amazing e-mail from an "early show" viewer. it said the theme of your journey is becoming coats. each year i try to do a secret santa gift. this year, i was going to donate to a food bank but your theme of coats and importance struck home. with winter coming, the viewer was concerned for those who don't have coats and offered me $600 if i'd start my own

personal coat drive, saying i'm hoping that you bringing the request to people will multiply the ultimate result of my donation with hundreds of coats. i was inspired. so, i drove over to the bozeman chamber of commerce to see if they'd help me write and print up flyers. >> please help dave price and the "no way home" series. they agreed to let me print thousands so the "no way home" spreading warmth across america campaign was born. >> can i just give you this? the early show is doing a coat drive. >> time was of the e sense. i hit the streets immediately. armed with flyers urging people to donate a coat. >> just reminding people to give a warm coat to the charity of your choice. >> could any one person do that much to raise awareness of a need? >> so i'm putting beverly parker from redlodge, montana down for how many? >> how many coats? >> yeah. >> three. >> three coats. amazingly, people started to respond in a way i never would

have expected. >> can i give you one now? >> you can. thank you. that is awesome. what's your name? i was stunned when people i approached actually started taking off their jackets. >> and art is giving us the jacket off his back. why? look at that! that is -- i cannot thank you guys enough. that is really great. >> with the money i had received for starting the drive for coats, i was able to buy a plane ticket to denver of. how are you? oh, i cannot thank you enough. viewer better phelps greeted me and offered to give me a ride and a surprise. >> oh, this is great. >> and the coats just kept on coming. are you really going to give me that coat. >> yeah, check the pockets. >> are you really going to give me that coat? you are going to give me your coat? >> sure! >> for a guy who started the day without a coat and with little hope of getting home on time, i suddenly had an armful of jackets and heartful of hope. in the cold weather to come,

these jackets may protect people in need. and for me, the memories of today will keep me warm long after i arrive back in new york. this is what the whole trip was all about. >> okay. there's another one. there's another one. >> a kiss for you. >> so you got us all crying like babies here, dave. it's so interesting. you go off on this adventure. you're wandering and as you wander, you actually end up with a mission. this is phenomenal. >> you know, we do these things and we do them every year and they're supposed to make people laugh and they're supposed to be adventuresome and entertaining and, to than quite often, to get people to watch television. and then something like this happens. you know, like a mishap, you forget a coat, forget another coat and then, you know, someone sends in an e-mail that brings meaning to the trip that you

could have never imagined on the way in. and i just -- i love this. you've got me last year when i was in minnesota and met that woman who was unemploy who had had driven me there. and this year, too, it is a blessing to be able to meet people all around the country who can make a difference. wait until you -- wait until you see the story tomorrow. i have the money to get home, by the way. i have the money to get home and i will get home on time but i've got a few things to do first. >> and remember how you were so down in the dumps and you couldn't see a light and were you going through so much hardship as so many people are wondering how am i going to dig out of this, what is the point of this? and all of those questions are answered in the most wonderful way. you always come out. you always percent he veer. >> all right, buddy. see you tomorrow. cannot wait to see how this unfolds. if you want to help dave on the final leg of his journey, all you have to do is follow him on twitter or send him an e-mail.

veterinarians here. it's going to be a little while before they name. i want to jump in and say because this is a teeny tiny baby that's only two weeks old, this baby can't maintain his body temperature and regulate his temperature very well. dr. rivera, if you want to go ahead and do the exam. this is actually the second time they've examined the cub. they take him out about once a week and listen to the heart, as you see dr. rivera doing, listening to the respiration, and they look at the panda to make sure he's okay and put him back in with his mother. in just a couple of seconds, we're actually going to put him in the incubator so he can stay warm. how is he looking, dr. rivera? >> he's looking great. he's well-hydrated. see how full his belly is? he's nursing really well. the skin is going great. the fur looks perfect. his color is pink, which is a great indication he's really healthy. >> this is fascinating, you guys. >> and you can see, maggie, he doesn't have much fur yet. he's still growing his fur.
