captioning funded by cbs we've got a lot of coverage of black friday for you today. you are looking at a live shot from a mall in massachusetts outside of boston. crowds don't look too bad, right? these are the smart shoppers who have gotten there to the toys r us in philadelphia. they looked at the circulars, been online. they know what they're shopping for. they're doing that kind of hit and run thing. you hit the mall, get what you need, get to the next store, the next store. >> and get out. >> exactly right. wow. we have seen some pictures this morning. look at the parking lots. oh, lord. not my sport but we'll have the full contact coverage of black friday for you here as we welcome you to friday morning after thanksgiving. good morning, everybody. i'm harry smith. >> i'm maggie rodriguez. as i left the building at 4:30

morning, there were people on the sidewalk and he said, do you know where best buy is? i'm like, yeah, that way. unbelievable how early it's on this morning. also this morning, aex collusive interview. there's an alabama man back in the states today after serving 18 months in prison in australia for the death of his wife while scuba diving on their honeymoon. this video by a fellow terrorist shows a lifeless tina watson on the ocean floor and now her husband gabe watson is facing charges and a trial in this country and we'll be speaking exclusively about the case this morning with his attorney. but we begin with black friday. the mad dash for discounts well under way now. correspondent rebecca jarvis at the coastland center mall in naples, florida, with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, maggie. like you, i saw people this morning arms overflowing at 5:00 a.m. with shopping bags.

for retailers, the moment of truth. for shoppers, a chance to snag the deeper discounts and they started earlier than ever this year. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> door busters. >> reporter: after the talk in the ads, black friday is well under way with shoppers joining 138 million estimated that will hit the stores this weekend up 2% from last year. the deals started at the stroke of midnight. >> no, never gotten up on black friday. i normally like to avoid crowds. >> reporter: just a few hours later, target, macy's and jc penny opened their doors. >> looking at the ads and so i can get more for the money. >> reporter: some didn't wait until black friday. for the first time in the history, sears was open all thanksgiving day. >> it's gray thursday. >> reporter: toys r us opened 10:00 thursday night which included 600 new pop-up stores

that operate in the holiday season. for retailers, black friday and the fourth quarter are now more important than ever. >> november and december alone is 40% of annual sales. >> reporter: for chains like sears and best buy, that number is well over 50%. retailers hope they'll have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season. and there are reasons for optimism. a 2.3% increase in sales is predicted overall this year. a 16% jump jump in online sales is forecast and the government reported in october personal income grew. with that in mind, stores are stocking up adding inventory in the hopes that the gifts will fly out the door. retailers aren't taking any chances. they're using the internet to help make sure shoppers know how low they're willing to go. more than half will send an e-mail to customers and nearly 40% will use facebook. >> the mood around black friday for the retailers is tempered i think the mood around consumers

given the advertisements and e-mails they're getting is creating a sense of urgency. >> reporter: and that urgency is really paying off for retailers. 10.5% of shoppers say they've completed half of the shopping. >> just half. you mentioned an expected increase of sales of 2%. how's that expected to affect the economy overall? >> reporter: well, this has major implications for the overall economy, maggie. because remember, the consumer spending accounts for a major part of the economy. the more we spend, the better off the economy is in many respects and equates to jobs. 600,000 temporary workers hired for this holiday and the better it goes, the more likely to take on that employment full-time. >> rebecca jarvis at a mall in florida, get out while you still can. >> reporter: thanks, maggie. >> here's harry. >> thanks. joining us to help out with the deals retailers putting on the

shelves is scott krugman, vice president of the national retail federation. good morning. >> good morning, harry. >> so how are retailers reaching into consumers' pocketbooks to get more money out of them this time around? >> consumers certainly don't suffer from a lack of spending power. a lack of confidence. in the absence of jobs, the best cure for a lack of confidence, a great discounts on wonderful merchandise so i think in the stores, in fact, they have been out for several hours, they're seeing amazing deals on laptops, games, dvds. and apparel, of course. there's no shortage of bargains out there for all the bargain hunters. >> may not be a shortage of bargains but we have seen a lot of retailers said we're going to keep our stock way, way down. we don't want that overhead. we don't want to try to figure out how to get rid of it in january. is there enough to buy if you go to the mall and you want to buy? learned the lessons of two years ago with too much inventory.

and i think they're going to bring in the right balance. however, this means they don't want to be left with excess inventory for unplanned markdowns to eat into profits so the advice to the consumer, pick it up now because once it's gone, basically, it is gone. >> where will we find the very best deals this holiday season? what kinds of products? >> well, no doubt electronics are huge in terms of deals for the holiday season. we're seeing $100 bluray players. $200 hd televisions. and no shortage of 50% off on video games. so clearly, electronics are a good way to go. 80% of jewelry. there's buy one, get one free in terms of apparel. literally, across the board, especially on black friday and cyber monday, there's no shortage of deals. >> what about gift cards? because year by year by year we find out surveys say number one

requested gift. just buy billions of dollars the growth in gift cards is amazing. >> they really have. we expect $24 billion on gift cards. up slightly from last year. in the last couple of years, people were shying away from gift cards because they were looking for more sale merchandise. but as the economy's becoming les of a factor, people are more willing to pay full price for the gift card. >> scott, we thank you for your expertise this morning. appreciate it. >> thanks, harry. >> happy shopping. happy shopping with a way to equip yourself today before you head out to be as efficient as possible but right now erica hill at the news desk. good morning. >> good morning to you and everyone at home. some strong words from north korea this morning. warning the border dispute is bringing north and south korea to, quote, the brink of war. as correspondent celia hatton reports, there's new trouble near the disputed island that north korea attacked earlier

this week. >> reporter: distant shots from inside north korea put nerves on edge here. no shots landed on south korean territory near yeonpyeong island, the site of a battle between the koreas four days ago but the attention of the explosions highlights continuing tension on the korean peninsula. the top u.s. commander in south korea visited the ravaged island today and offered support. >> it is clear to me by the signs received an by what i have seen here physically that north korea attacked this island. which is in clear violation of the armistice agreement. >> reporter: south korea's president paid respects to the two soldiers killed in this week's surprise attack by the north and named a new defense minister as the government responds to criticism it was unprepared to fight back. south korea's also rushing to boost its security, more troops have been stationed to yeonpyeong and the u.s. and

south korea will conduct joint naval xexercises on sunday featuring the nuclear aircraft carrier the "uss george washington." the message from the show of force is clear. >> to prevent north korea from being tempted to make another unprovoked attack against us. >> reporter: many island residents are packing their bags. all you reporters, come here and live in yeonpyeong says this man. you live here and then you will see the artillery falling. and you will know whether this is a place where one can live. these people caught in the cross hairs between north and south korea aren't willing to wait to see if the south security plans will work. celia hatton, cbs news, beijing. it is a milestone day in afghanistan. u.s. troops have now been there exactly as long as the soviets were in the 1980s. nine years, 50 days. the soviet mission ended in

story. >> reporter: a navy vessel brought three teenage castaways to land today after a harrowing 50 days lost at sea. the two 15-year-olds and one 14-year-old were helped to a waiting ambulance. the boys somehow survived by living on a couple coconuts, a few flying fish, rain water and a sea gull which they caught and ate raw. the teenagers from the islands in new zealand territory drifted nearly a thousand miles before being spotted bay tuna boat. >> they were waving, it was very frantic. they were very weak. there was no messive jumps of joy. they definitely had a massive smile. >> reporter: rescuers say they were severely sun burned, dehydrated that in the last few days they resorted to drinking sea water and could have been disastrous. >> their actual physical appearance was very disturning and heartbreaking.

they were just more or less skin and bones. >> reporter: the three were presumed dead after several unsuccessful searches. their families held a memorial service for them. now the teenage friends are recovering in a hospital in fiji happy to be alive. >> and if i'm not mistaken, i was reading an account saying the boat, the fishing boat way out of the normal waters so the chances of them ever being found and so small. >> that's right. >> this boat just sort of happened to be in the odd place. and there they were. they're really lucky. >> way outside the commercial shipping routes. unbelievable they were found. we move to london and a warning from queen elizabeth. she doesn't want the paparazzi hounding them the way they did princess diana. a correspondent is at buckingham palace with the details. charles, good morning. >> reporter: maggie, the royal family looking at ways to a tougher stance against prying

diana to her death in a paris car crash more than 13 years ago. he's determined his future wife will not have to tolerate the same kind of harassment. back when kate was simply william's girlfriend in 2007, she made a formal complaint to britain's press complaints commission she was the victim of harassment and as one photographer put it, now it's open season. kate middleton and for that matter her family are fair game. now, just last week prince william's press secretary sent a letter to correspondents reminding mem after the engagement the family remains private individuals. maggie? >> charlie dagada in london, thank you. still ahead here for us, alabama man faces murder charges in the u.s. after his wife drowns on their honeymoon in australia. also a look back at tiger woods' disastrous year and see if he can get the swing back, sort to speak, on the course and with the public. are you staying home because you're afraid of the black

photograph captured a lifeless tina watson. the arms toward the surface lying helpless on the ocean floor. >> bye, cameron. >> casey and cameron. >> reporter: seen packing here for the trip to australia in 2003, 26-year-old tina had only been married for 11 days when police allege her husband gabe watson killed her while on their honeymoon to cash in on a small insurance policy. australian police demonstrate how they believe tina was killed. they say watson cut off tina's air supply giving her a bear hug a and watched her sink. watson told 16 different versions of what happened during interrogation. >> the fight against the current is what allowed whatever thing that took place that caused her to blackout -- >> reporter: this 2009, an australian court convicted him of manslaughter and served a

18-month sentence, a punishmenty in's family says is not har much enough. >> until he faces the evidence for the first time in a criminal trial before a jury, there can be no -- no rest or peace for anyone in the family. >> reporter: on thursday, australian authorities returned watson to the u.s., under an agreement that prosecutors here would not seek the death penalty. >> the theory is because of the plot, the scheme to hatch the murder took place in alabama, he should also stand trial for that in alabama in a way that he did not stand trial in australia. >> reporter: seth doan, cbs news, new york. >> joining us exclusive from alabama is gabe watson's attorney. good morning. >> good morning, maggie. i hope you had a happy thanksgiving yesterday. >> i did, thank you very much. alabama authorities believe they have jurisdiction here even though the alleged crime took place in australia because your client probably hatched the idea in alabama.

how do you respond to that? >> well, there are a number of issues in this case that will need to be handled pre-trial. that is one of them. we dispute that. we have seen you concerns about gabe's constitutional rights being violated in this situation. i haven't seen anything in the evidence to warrant that allegation. >> why did he plead guilty then to manslaughter in australia? why did he just not plead not guilty? >> maggie, you know, that's a good question. and i want the viewing public to understand that what gabe pled guilty to was an obscure australian law calling it manslaughter but reads he didn't do enough to savety in's life. the closest crime we have here in alabama is negligent homicide, a misdemeanor. when you have a client facing the possibility of life in prison on a murder charge versus a misdemeanor with limited

prison time, often you have to weigh the risks and rewards and go with the lower plea. >> well then, that raises the question why didn't hedo enough to save his wife's life? he's a certified rescue diver. >> well, you know, he took a class two years before this dive. it was a ha

of my house. >> reporter: the unraveling with a mystifying car crash on november 27th, 2009. only blocks from tiger woods' orlando home. found in a daze, woods called the accident a private matter between him and his wife elin and refused to answer questions. but soon enough that private matter became very public. shattering his carefully-constructed persona. a seemingly never-ended stream of mistresses came forward, some even leaking voice mail messages. >> hey, it's tiger. can you please take your name off the phone? my wife went through my phone and may be calling you. >> reporter: in december, woods announced he would take a hiatus from the game. in p broke ties with him costing him upwards of $30 million. >> i was unfaithful. i had affairs. i cheated. >> reporter: not until february 19th woods broke his silence. the return in april at the

masters. >> yes. >> reporter: while he finished a strong fourth, the rest of the season was a struggle. >> oh, come on! >> reporter: finishing 68th in tour earnings. >> tiger pulled out. >> reporter: not winning a single tournament for the first time in his career. >> most important place for tiger is on the golf course right now. he is a determined man. he doesn't like being number two. >> reporter: off the course, woods divorced to elin became official in august. he says all of it made him a changed man. in this op-ed for "newsweek" life's most ordinary events can bring joy, giving my son charlie a bath for example beats chipping another bucket of balls. the question now is, one year later, can he rebuild his game, his personal life and his public image? at the very least, it's hard to imagine 2011 getting any worse. jeff glor, cbs news, new york. >> and joining us now is con knell barrett editor at large

for "golf magazine." good morning. >> good morning, harry. >> what do you think he was doing last night? >> he was with his mom and two children having a presumably very quiet thanksgiving. safe to say he wasn't driving anywhere. probably in bed playing tiger woods golf on the wii and nice and quiet. >> we have seen, you know, in the last year is this, you know, all the sort of public performances by tiger woods and now he writes an op-ed piece for "newsweek." tweeting, talking about his life and talking a lot. not sure we're hearing much but he's talking a lot. is he successfully restoring the image? >> it's a good first attempt. tiger will never be able to restore the image he had. what he could do is rebuild a new image about humility instead of humiliation. i think tiger will only help himself being fan friendly and connected to the fans like he is

trying to do. >> do you see that? do you see evidence, actual evidence of that? within the last month of two he hit a ball and thit guy in the head an signs the ball and, you know, he looks like he's at least attempting to connect with the crowd. >> right. but that doesn't come naturally to tiger. he is like a robot on the golf course or a shark in the water. he is not used to paying attention to fans or worrying about them. he has to get in touch with a humanity he's never had to do before and good for the image in the long run. >> we've seen glimpses in the last year of his game, but then, we also saw, you know, days and days where he looked below -- not even average but below average. can his game recover? >> well, he wrote i'm not the man i used to be. he is not the golfer he used to be. he is about to turn 35. not 23. he's got the knees of a 60-year-old. and he's lost his number one ranking so for the first time in his life in 2011 tiger is going

to have doubt enter his mind and fascinating to watch 2011 play out. however, tiger was put on this earth to win golf tournaments and i think now that the phone is quiet, not blowing up from cocktail waitresses or divorce lawyers, he can focus on golf. >> we shall see. thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> appreciate your insight. we'll be right back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.
