the latest for us this morning. good morning to you. >> good morning, chris. history is being made here. perhaps more to the point it is being unmade. the first time a british monarch came to ireland on a visit and the security as high it's ever been here. 8,000 security officers on the street to try to protect one british monarch. this is a four-day visit and it will be four days of tension. >> the queen arrived in dublin with the city in a state of near lock down. there is a lot of nervousness about this visit for good reason. it's the tightest security operation ireland has ever mounted. and this morning's bomb scare will only increase worries. particularly that some iraq republican dissident faction which still sees the british and the queen as the occupying enemy will do something violent. this controversial visit has been 100 years in the making.

the last british monarch to visit was george v notice 1911. he came as the king of britain and ireland. that was before the 1916 uprising brutally put down by the british as they fought the growing irish independence movement and it was before the troubles in northern ireland between those trying to keep it part of the united kingdom and those who want to reunite it with the iraq republic. anglo iraq history is written in blood. this visit is trying to draw a line under that. >> i think it's an extraordinary moment in irish history, a phenomenal sign and signal of the success of the peace process. and absolutely the right moment for us to welcome on to iraq soil her majesty the screen. >> but staunch iraq nationalists can argue while the welcome should be warm, the time is still not right. >> i don't get up one morning without feeling in a sense that

i've got an english monarch ruling me. >> reporter: and the security fears have been justified. there have been three bomb scares even in advance of the queen's arrival here. one of those iraq police says was a viable explosive device found on a bus approaching dublin from the west of ireland. that was made safe. there were two other hoaxes one in london and one here, as well. this is a state visit. a royal visit but you won't see a lot of the features you often see on these things. the queen will not be moving among the public and along the rope line greeting iraq citizens and she won't be riding anywhere in open top vehicles. it's just too tense for that is. >> just to talk more to the level of security, the queen plans to make a number of stops on this four-day visit many with historical signatures to the conflict of the past. security is already heightened. does this just add to it? >> it does.

everything here has historic signatures. this castle, dublin castle is where the british controlled ireland for 100 years. they had been in control of ireland for eight centuries more or less before that. . but the security concerns heres are paramount but the queen is visiting places that have historical signatures and will lay a wreath at the garden of remembrance here for the iraq who have fallen in various conflicts including conflicts with the british. she'll go to a sports stadium here which is very symbolic of iraq nationalism. she's not shirking things. she's moving into the future. >> cbs' mark phillips for us in dublin this morning. good to see you. now here's erika. >> we want to turn to the latest on this explosive sex charges against dominique strauss-kahn. new york prosecutors are investigating at least one other similar allegation against the head of the international monetary fund. this morning, that man is behind bars after a judge denied bail calling strauss-kahn a flight

risk. cbs news correspondent michelle miller is outside rikers island, new york city's main jail with the latest for us this morning. good morning. >> >> dominique strauss-kahn is now in protective custody. that means he doesn't have to share a 50-bed barracks with the other inmates. he it's all of his meals alone. this comes a day after the 62-year-old politician faced sex charges in court. >> this defendant is charge in criminal sexual acts in the first degree. attempted rape in the first degree. >> the high powered international banker stood silent as prosecutors called him a definite flight risk saying his home country of france has no formal extradition arrangement with the u.s. >> we also know that the defendant has the personal, political, and financial resources to flee. >> reporter: strauss-kahn is being charged with seven counts of attempted rape, sexual assault, and unlawful imprisonment for an attack on a

32-year-old hotel maid. according to the criminal complaint, he shut the hotel door, tried to forcibly remove her clothes, and attacked her. >> he sexually assaulted her and attempted to forcibly rape her. when was unsuccessful, he forced her to perform oral sex on him. >> authorities say evidence supports the victim's account. investigators are looking into complaints from strauss-kahn's past. a woman who claimed she was sexually attacked by him in 2002 has indicated she may now file charges. during monday's hearing, the prosecution said hotel security tapes showed strauss-kahn rushing to try to leave the hotel. but the defense counters he had a full afternoon of meetings before heading to his prescheduled flight. >> we do not believe he has any intention of ever fleeing the jurisdiction his principal intention is to try and clear his name. >> but the judge denied bail, citing the fact that

strauss-kahn was apprehended while the plane to paris was on the tarmac. >> i hear that your client was at jfk airport about to board a flight. that raises some concern. >> the arrest has rocked political and financial circles worldwide. strauss-kahn the chief of the imf and a future candidate for president of france was called one of the 40 most powerful men in the world by forbes magazine. >> but strauss-kahn will remain here at rikers island at least until his next court date which is on friday. >> thanks. >> here's jeff glor with a check of other top headlines for thus morning. >> good morning to you. good morning to everyone at home. it was said there was no scandal or stunning revelation behind the separation of arnold schwarzenegger and his wife maria. they just grew apart. apparently that's not true. in a statement last night, schwarzenegger admitted to faring a child with a member of the couple's household staff. cbs news national correspondent

ben tracy is in los angeles this morning with details. ben, good morning. >> good morning, jeff. in the long time couple announced their split last week, a lot of people were wondering why. well, now we know. we also know why maria shriver moved out of the couple's los angeles mansion months ago in a bombshell announcements, former california governor arnold schwarzenegger now admits to faring a child with a long-time household staffer, causing the previously unexplained rift in his marriage tomyria. he tells today's "los angeles times" "after leaving the governor's office i told my wife about this event which occurred over a decade ago. last week they announced they had separated after 25 years of marriage but made no mention of a reason for the split. immediately after that announcement, schwarzenegger sounded like a man hoping for a reconciliation. >> we both love each other very much.

we are both fortunate to have a four extraordinary children and we're taking one day at a time. >> now a contrite schwarzenegger is sparing himself nothing. i understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among friends and family. there are no excuses and i take full responsibility for the hurt i have caused. i have apologized to maria, my children and family. i am truly sorry. i ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time while i deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not. lately, shriver has been seen without her wedding ring and in late march was clearly searching for answers when he she talked to supporters on youtube. >> so stressful to not know what you're doing next. and i'd liking to hear from other people who are in transition. how did you find your transition. >> the la times reports for years now, schwarzenegger has been providing financial assistance for this child that he fathered. as for the woman involved, she

recently retired from working for the couple on good terms. she had worked for them for 20 years. jeff? >> ben, plenty coming from arnold. any comments so far from maria? >> so far no. through a spokesperson she basically said she has no comment. we'll have to wait and see on that. >> ben, thank you very much. nato helicopters were fired on by pakistani forces near the border with afghanistan this morning. the two nato choppers pakistani air space and returned fire at an army border post wounding two pakistani soldiers. pakistan says they plan to file a formal protest with nato. in libyaover night nato air strikes pounded tripoli again. two government buildings were hit as you can see including the interior ministry. nfl owners and players resume mediation this morning. yesterday a big win for owners. an appeals court ruled the lockout can stay in effect indefinitely. the next hearing now scheduled for june 3rd. and the twin brothers who say mark zuckerberg stole their

recognition, donald trump quickly rose to the top of the polls for republican candidates. and he said things the other politicians did not. >> i have a reputation for telling it like it is. i'm known for my candor, i've had a lot of great victories and may being to put that to work. >> but his questions about president obama's citizenship got the most attention. >> i wanted to show his birth certificate. i want him to show his birth certificate. there's something on that certificate that he doesn't like. >> then mr. obama pulled out the ultimate trump card. he produced his full birth certificate that showed his birthplace of hawaii. at the annual white house correspondents dinner he secured trump. >> he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter like diagnose we fake the moon landing. >> it was that same weekend the birther controversy was wiped from the headlines.

>> today at my direction -- >> when the president announced that the u.s. had killed osama bin laden. >> after that, trump really started dropping in the polls. one thing that didn't drop? the ratings for his television show. erica? >> jan crawford in washington this morning. also in washington, political analyst john dickerson. john is as we look at some of the reasons that we're seeing whether it's a hit tv show or even personal issues is especially in the case of indiana governor mitch daniels, his wife very reluctant to see him run, it seems the reasons why people are or are not deciding to run are changing. is in a shift? >> there are special wrinkles with the individual candidates. but the main reasons are still the big ones that have always been out there. republicans are going to be running against an incumbent president and barack obama, the approval ratings are soft, the big benefit for him is he can raise a great deal of money. raising money is not fun, it's a hard slog. and finally candidates have to go out and run through a process no matter how well they're

known. that requires a lot of fire in the belly. for some candidates, it's too much. >> it can be daunting. as you mentioned, money still seems to be the key factor in making the decision on whether or not you want to put yourself out there as a candidate. mitt romney announced he raised over $10 million in one day. what does that do to his viability as a candidate? >> it helps him a great deal. this was a big muscle-flexing exercise for the former governor. last week, he talked about his health care plan in massachusetts, got beat up pretty good in conservative circles. s if this is a way to reassert one of his big strengths. you talk about the money primary, the big hurdle that candidates have to get over is being able to raise that money because they're all terrified about how much money barack obama can raise. >> as we look at the potential candidates, more people are dropping out that could have been maybes. one name that lingers sarah palin. it seems like if she were to jump in, this would be the perfect time. >> she has a little bit of an opening here.

mike huckabee's decision not to run opens the iowa caucus up. that's the contest he won in 2008. he would have had a strong showing there. it's open. anybody can seize that title. sarah palin does have to move quickly sho quick. she has a high name i.d. but she's got to move if she's going to. >> there was a statement that said this is the end of the silly season. do the republicans seem to be buckling down now and are we going to see more focus in terms of the candidates? >> yes, they are buckling down. we see some formal announcements of candidacies happening. and we are getting to the end of the -- of the confusing stage here. donald trump was particularly silly. that part of the silly season is over. but in politics, the weather is like the weather in new england, it can change at any moment. don't put aw

latest on the devastating flooding along the mississippi river. on monday, the coast guard closed 15 miles of the waterway to all river traffic near natchez, mississippi. officials downstream in louisiana are watching it very closely. thousands of residents, meantime, have been told to get out of the way. dean reynolds has the latest for us from amelia, louisiana. >>. >> reporter: to those concerned that the roaring mississippi was posing a threat to new orleans or baton rouge, bobby jindal said the river levels are dropping but the fight is by no means over. >> we'll be fighting high levels of water for weeks, not just days. >> the strategy of opening the spillway at morganza and letting water pour down on low-lying, mostly rural areas to the west does appear to be working. >> it continues to ensure that baton rouge and new orleans should not have any flooding. the main line levees are projected to hold. >> reporter: the flooding is so fierce, though, that the first

time in history the army corps of engineers has opened three major spillways on the mississippi all at once, to ease pressure on the flood walls and levees. as for the small towns of can june countries that lie in the path of the gushing splway, it's a time to prepare. wrapping homes in plastic, laying sandbags, or packing up and heading out. that's because the advance of the water has been slower and more shallow than originally predicted. the officials believe some areas could still wind up more than ten feet underwater. dean reynolds, cbs news, amelia, louisiana. joining us this morning is new orleans mayor mitch landrieu. sir, good to have you with us. >> good morning, erica. >> good morning, again. governor jindal saying you're going to be fighting the crest for weeks. hooks like new orleans may have dodged a bullet here. the neighbors surrounding you are taking the bruntd of of it. i know you reached out to the people of new orleans to help the people of the rural areas,

right? >> new orleans is safe and dry, the system is working as it was designed. but unfortunately, the folks in the spillway will take a hit. it's important for the people of new orleans who understand this as well as anybody in the world to reach out and to make sure that our friends in the spillway have what they need to get back up after the flood waters come in and go out again. >> do you feel confident, though, that where you are in new orleans and the folks of that city have essentially dodged a bullet at this point? >> we believe so. the levees, we believe, are going to hold. the levees are strong. the system is working exactly the way it's designed. they opened up the spillway, the mor morganza spillway and the old river spillway, the water levels was where they said it would be. that's fine. having said that, it's a dangerous situation. our hearts go out to those in the spillway. we'll be there to help as we have been. >> so much for your state and each community is connected to one another when it comes to things like the economy. what's your greatest concern right now for the areas surrounding new orleans and for

the state of louisiana. >> again, it's important for the nation to realize that the nation's economic security and the national security depends on louisiana actually doing its worst. the river, if it closed down, would cost $400 million a day and would really just kind of put a strangle hold on exports and imports coming in on the country. that's one of the major concerns. the other, just, of course, people's life and property and their way of life, we're interconnected not only in louisiana but in america. like we do all the time when folks are hurting, we're going to get in there and help them as fast as we can. >> have folks come to you for help and lessons learned in new orleans after katrina? >> absolutely? no question about it. people in new orleans understand we were underwater for a long period of time. we know how devastating this can be for the families. we're going to reach out to the parish presidents and the mayors and we'll be there for them as they were here for us. >> thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you, have a great day.

>> thank you. you too. the flooding on the mississippi is sure to cost billions of dollars in damage and lost business there. in diverting flood waters away from new orleans may not reduce the cost of the disaster all that much. the financial impact of the flooding with business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis. good morning. >> hey, chris. >> talk about this region and how important it is to the national economy? >> yeah, it's very significant to the national economy. and for two reasons -- first off, it's where a lot of our gasoline comes from. 13% of the nation's energy sources coming from this part of louisiana. one in nine gallons of gasoline that we use in this country every day comes from this part of the country. in addition to that, though, there's a lot of ships that pass through, for example, the port of new orleans, on a daily basis, from 12,000 ships on an annual basis go through here with 500 million tons of cargo. 700,000 cruise ship attendees go through that part of the country as well.

it's significant not only to our gasoline but other industries. >> a lot of people think the refineries think they can text it. but louisiana. >> it's number two, two in the country with refineries. >> as far as dangers that impose the risks that are there. those are refineries. >> a significant risk, but it looks like some of that risk has been diverted. ten refineries are in the zone where the morganza spillway is there to avert the crisis. by opening up that morganza spillway, the entire idea is to keep those safe. and you can see them there on the river. those are the ten that would be impact in the event they say that they did not open up the morganza spillway. this's why the decision was made. >> you have a all ll of these f that are looking at this okay, we're saving the refineries, some of the ship willing be okay. folks in the river basin cannot be overlooked. all of the water being diverted, farmland, other homes and some of the smaller towns are going

to be ushld nder 20 feet of watr what they say could be weeks. >> that's the big concern. we're looking at hundreds of millions of dollars worth of damage to farmland. we're hearing from corn farmers in the area who have not been able to plant their seedlings. you can see i [ thinking ] oh, gourmet deliciousness... i want you tonight!

when you think of a charged debate, chances are you wouldn't imagine it would be over poetry. that's what bill o'reilly and jon stewart were butting heads over, over the appearance of rapper common at the white house last week. seth stone is in times square with more on that. good morning. good morning. yeah, a poetry reading may seem innocuous, but in the landscape of cable news, it was enough to spark a debate between

conservative bill o'reilly and liberal, jon stewart. the showdown took place blocks from here. it was clear while the duo may be politically polarizing, they both certainly know how to put on a good show. >> correct me if i'm wrong -- >> reporter: in their playful battle. >> i got mad love for you. that's a rap phrase. >> i got it. >> reporter: the talk show heavyweights faced off. the prime tim cable tv. >> stewart, i'm shocked. >> the two are at odds over an invitation to the rapper, common, to take part in this poetry reading last wednesday night at the white house. >> all right, some beacons of light. >> reporter: the backlash began when conservatives claim that common celebrates violence and cop killing in his lyrics. >> i've got the black strap to make the cops run. >> reporter: and therefore had no place performing in the white house. >> it was just so lacking of class and decency. >> reporter: stewart mocked the gop's outrage on his show. >> it was the subject of fox news channel's latest exercise in fits of hisry.

>> reporter: provoking the challenge of o'reilly. >> i would like to debate you about the common situation. because it's important. >> reporter: last night, the two pulled no punches. >> it's a poetry slam who gives a crap. >> reporte a lot -- a lot of people do. >> reporter: stewart firmly held the left, saying conservatives need to be consistent with the outrage according to the story of leonard pelletier convicted of killing two federal agents in the '70s. >> guess who wrote a song about leonard pelletier. >> bono. >> guess where he was. the white house. boo-yah! >> reporter: host bill o'reilly fired back from the political right. >> you know this guy is sympathizing with two cop killers. you know that. >> i don't know him. >> that's enough for a sitting president to say, you know what, this guy might be radio active, i'm not doing that. >> reporter: the sparring was on the surface of poetry, but much more about politics, and maybe just a little about ratings too.

>> by the way, songs are not literal, you know that, right? >> to stop. >> when the weather girl says "it's raining men," it's not just a precipitation of males. it's a metaphor. >> stop attacking weather girlings, they're one of my favorite groups. >> are they really? >> i love them. >> o'reilly said stewart was a gentleman for coming on the show and the show was funnier than most liberals. the second part will air tonight. >> they do butt heads a lot and call one another out. when they talk with one another, they have great exchanges back and forth. it's fun to watch. >> they bring up a good argument. if you're going to be invited to the white house, the white house should look at your full retz may to make sure there's nothing to the back history. that could be a bit of a conflict. jon wanted to say, you can't invite bruce springsteen, bob dylan. >> got to let it go. and one of the arguments was

> looks good from that angle. welcome back to "the early show." top of the hour on a tuesday morning. you get to the ground level, nothing but bad news. a lot of rain here in the north east. i'm chris wragge along with erica hill. >> a lot of news in the last hour. we want to get to it. shocking news this morning. a bombshell announcement by former california governor arnold schwarzenegger said he and his wife separated after he told her he had another child with another woman ten years ago. ben tracy is in los angeles with more on this. good morning. >> good morning, chris. no one seemed to know why the couple was splitting after

being together for 25 years. but as you mentioned, arnold schwarzenegger admits he fathered a child with a woman that works in the couple's house. this happened ten years ago and every since he's been providing financially to the child. in a statement to "the los angeles times," the former government says -- i understand and deserve the anger and disappointment among my friends and family. there are no excuses and i take full responsibility for the hurt i caused. i apologized to maria and my children and my family, i'm truly sorry. for maria shriver, she moved out of the los angeles mansion months ago. no one seemed to know why. now, of course, we have a reason. >> any word from the other woman involve? >> not much. the woman does say that she actually retired from working for the couple earlier this year. she says that was on good terms. she had worked for them for 20 years. so this is a woman that they knew very, very well. when she was confronted with the

governor's statement, she then said she had no comment. chris? >> cbs's ben tracy in los angeles for us this morning. thank you for the update. jeff glor is standing by at the newsdesk with a look at the other headlines we're following for you on this tuesday morning. good morning to you once again. >> good morning, erica. good morning to you at home as well. with tight security, queen elizabeth began an historic visit to ireland this morning. just hours before the queen arrived, you can see it there, the police detonated a bomb on a bus. cbs correspondent mark phillips is in dublin this morning. hey, mark, good morning. good morning, jeff. this is a state's visit with equal parts of protocol and nervousness. the queen arrived here today to be afforded all of the ceremonial trappings of an arriving head of state met by an honor guard as she landed at one of the airfields around dublin. but even as she was approaching here, there were security concerns. the irish have laid on a massive, they're saying, the biggest ever security operation

to protect her while she's here over the next four days. there were three bomb scares, one, as you say, was an actual device the irish police say they managed to take care of on a bus. but this visit will go on forfour days and there will be four days of nervousness. jeff? >> as we talked about, mark, it's a controversial visit and the queen is not dodging the sense of viciousness, is she? >> long and bloody history between ireland and britain. this is the first royal visit here for 100 years and for good reason. the queen's grandfather, george v was the first british monarch to come here in 1911. and the queen will not be dodging the areas and the locations of historic significance here. she's going to lay a wreath to the dead of irish conflicts, including the conflict against the british. she's going to visit the sports stadium here in which british troops in 1916 fired and killed a large number of irish independents at the time.

this is supposed to be a visit of reconciliation, a moving toward the future. but the past is not being ignored either. jeff? mark phillips in dublin this morning. thanks. american amanda knox was back in court in italy this morning. she arrived in ar armored van for a slander trial brought against her by the police. knox is serving 26 years for the conviction of her roommate in 2007. she accused police of beating her and prosecutors filed the slander charges and knox's parents were also charged for repeating her statements. the end of an era this morning after 45 years, jerry lewis is stepping down as the host of the labor day muscular dystrophy association telethon. he'll perform his signature song, "you'll never walk alone" on september 4. president obama comforted a graduate in booker t. high school in memphis.

he spoke to a senior class of 155 students. you see her crying there yesterday before he spoke. the school won the contest to have mr. obama address the students, thanks in part to the vastly improved graduation. it's five minutes past the hour. back over to erica. >> thanks. i want to get you the latest on dominique strauss-kahn. the judge sends the head of the international monetary fund back to jail to face charges on rape and related sex crimes. michelle miller is outside of rikers island in queen, new york for us this morning. >> good morning. dominique strauss-kahn is in protective custody. he has his own jail cell and eats all of the meals alone. this comes a day after he faced sex charges in criminal court. >> this defendant is charge in criminal sexual acts in the first degree. >> reporter: the man "forbes" magazine considers one of the 40 most powerful men in the world stood silent in manhattan federal court on monday

considered a flight risk. >> we know the defendant has the personal, political, and financial resources to flee. >> reporter: strauss-kahn is being charged with seven counts of attempted rape, sexual assault, and unlawful imprisonment for an attack on a 32-year-old hotel maid. according to the criminal complaint, he shut the hotel door, tried to forcibly remove her clothes, and attacked her. strauss-kahn agreed to dna tests. forensic evidence sipts the victim's claim. and security tapes show strauss-kahn rushing to leave the hotel. but the defense counters he had a full afternoon of meetings before heading to his prescheduled flight. the judge denied bail, citing the fact that strauss-kahn was apprehended while his plane to paris was on the tarmac. >> i hear that your client was at jfk airport about to board a flight. that raises some concern. >> reporter: strauss-kahn will remain here at rikers island

until friday when he's due back in court. erica? >> in france, people tend to ignore sexual escapades or accept them. there's been enormous reaction to dominique strauss-kahn's arrest in france. good to have you with us this morning. judging from the headlines this morning, the reaction from france is very different from what we see in the united states. overall, what are people saying about this arrest? >> well, they're all not saying the same thing, but they're reacting first with shock and second with an element of disbelief. third, there's not much attention being paid to the victim here. and now this is the second and third day and we're getting to a point where there's a reaction against these sort of reflective defense of strauss-kahn by his own class, the politicians, powerful people. and you've got more and more people saying we should have

known about this failing long before and we should know about the failings of politicians. and even if his private life is very obviously something that the public should know about. so it's a bit of a watershed. it's a -- ushering in. ushering in a new era in france. >> they're stepping back there, ushering in a new era. do you see this really making a full-scale change, though, in france in the way that politicians are regarded and even daliance, if you will, or something far more serious is regard? >> well, first of all, erica, in france, when someone is powerful, they get away with -- i won't say murder -- but practically everything else. it's turning out, strauss-kahn said i cannot comment on what happen in this specific instance. two perfectly believable women who at the time being attacked by him, assaulted not as

brutally as what's being alleged in new york, but it was on the record. he talked about it happening to them. they both decided not to press charges because they said i will be disbelieved and this will follow me as somebody that rocks it boat. it's not done in this country. it's been sort of the attitude we may have had a revolution in the 18th century in france that we have the rulers and the ruled. >> it's interesting to look at how all this plays out. a couple of different things i read as a spokesperson in the party. strauss-kahn coming out saying part of the reason is it's a very different system in the united states. how important is it that this arrest happen in the united states. and, for example, we see the person walk, which we call here which normally wouldn't be seen in france? >> well, the person walk is now illegal in france. but by in large, they would have treated him with kid glove ifs

he had been brought in at all. that's the first thing. the chances are, he was in his new york hotel. the hotel people would have said, look, you will be complacent to the maids, do not press charges, that's bad for everyone concerned. my expectation is he would not have been brought to the police. but more generally, there's a sort of unpleasant attitude in france in which people are becoming -- when everything else fails, become anti-american. so they say the american justice is all about trials, attorneys, and official judges and magistrates campaigning for re-election. it's about humiliating someone. the system is unusually cruel. anything, you know, any kind of an exclamation is different for the fact that he was like a normal person suspected of a crime >> analyst elisabeth moutet, appreciate your analysis this morning. >> thank you, erica.

healthwatch, the automated defibrillator is a simple piece of equipment with a complicated name that saves lives. jennifer ashton is here with us this morning. good morning. 15-year-old tyler symes nearly died when he was struck in the chest with a hockey puck, but he was lucky thanks to an aed nearby and a trainer that knew how to use it. >> reporter: tyler symes started to play hockey when he was 4 years old. >> coached by dad. >> this is a player that the coach loves to coach. >> he's small. he plays like he's 200 pounds. >> reporter: but a freak accident last december ended tyler's season and nearly took his life. tell me what you remember about the game you got hurt in? >> don't really remember even going to the rink. >> reporter: 37 seconds left in the first period when tyler's coach and athletic drainer catr

running on the ice. >> when you saw him fall to the ice, did you know what was wrong? >> yes, definitely. >> reporter: ben symes knew something was wrong and urgently called his wife. >> he said tyler's on the ice, he's not breathing. i'll call you back. >> reporter: he'll never forget that moment when the trainer couldn't find a pulse. >> knelt down, held his hand, just waited. >> reporter: a hockey puck had hit tooiler in the chest at the precise fraction of a second between heart beats, causing a condition called commotio cordis that results from cardiac arrest. 75% of injuries like tyler's are fatal. but fortunately jodi white had the right equipment. >> somebody said you have to push the button. >> reporter: an automated external defibrillator or aed that got his heart beating again. >> gave three shocks. the third shot that's when the

fire department emt showed up. >> reporter: by the time the cardiologist david kane treated tyler in the e.r., he was breathing again on his own. he said it was the defibrillator and cpr at the hockey rink that saved his life. >> having personnel to access defibrillators and knowing what they are and recognizing what cardiac arrest looks like are critical points. in his situation, they had a defibrillator on the ice within seconds. >> reporter: massachusetts where tyler was rescued and four other states have pending legislation requiring schools to have automated external defibrillators. another 12 states have laws in place. tyler had to learn to walk and eat again in the days after his traumatic injury. but thanks to a life-saving aed, he's hoping to get back out on the ice next season. >> and i'm thankful to the people who did help me. they're my heros.

>> now the injury tyler suffered is rare, but 34 states have no laws or not considering laws to require aeds at sporting events so baseball to lacrosse players remain at risk. >> 7,000 kids die from sudden cardiac arrest, why aren't these available at more sporting events. you would think you want to do it. >> the laws do vary state-to-state. there's probably a funding issue. the cost of these devices ranges from $500 to $1500. so, again, more patients and players and parents who get involved and speak to their coaches, their schools, about getting these there, even donating one, could literally save a life. >> talk about the chances of survival. should you have one of these? oh. >> to be clear, chris, you want to activate the 911 system immediately. that's the most important thing. it's called the chain of survival. and you want to initiate hands only cpr. with a defibrillator there, the chances of surviving an out of hospital cardiac arrest go up by 90%.

every minute counts. so literally seconds having this on the sidelines or on the bench could save a life. >> how easy to use people. >> incredibly easy to use for lay people. you press the on-off button. they have two paddles. they tell you exactly where to put them. and literally a sixth grader has been shown how to use this almost as fast as a trained paramedic. incredibly simple and you're going to be seeing a lot more of them hopefully outside. >> easy directions. turn it on, hit the shock button. >> and tell everyone to stand clear while you call 911. >> should have it at sporting events. the story of a young man who got hit with a pitch that was pitching. >> i have one and i bring one to all of my children's hockey game. >> thank you very much. >> stay tuned this, is "the early show" on cbs. be right back. cbs healthwatch sponsored by lyrica. that send messages through the body. my doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia -- thought to be the result of overactive nerves

much material. but when you add into that the fact that you think about getting married from the time you're a little girl. my 4-year-old daughter harriet watching the royal wedding last week, i thought, what is this doing to her? and you have all of the people coming together, the inlaws and the two families and the bridesmaids, it's so much material. >> a big version of high school where the only reason you're there is one thing that has nothing to do with anything other than we all know that same people and you ear stuck with these people and tensions run high. >> tensions run high. but also, it's perfect. talk about being ripe with comedic material. especially if you e're putting together a film about this. everybody has something wacky going on. >> it's crazy. i'm not a fan of weddings, so i come with that take. >> what? >> a welding -- a we ingwedding like when your friend is talking on a really long cell phone call. oh, that's funny. and you're getting off of the

phone. that's the feeling -- when are they going to serve the cake. >> you think you feel that way because you're a man? >> yes. and i have add. exactly. let's go, let's eat. and it's -- you know, let's wait two hours while they take pictures. let's wait a little while. when are they going to cut the cake? we made it till we got -- people sat at the table they were going to eat at. we got married, dinern served. buffet. >> a well-adjusted wife. >> yes. >> i think men tend to -- men tend to focus on the -- the marriage -- the uni, the choice to get married. and so women have to worry about the hair, the makeup, the dress, all of that. it becomes more of a pageant effect. >> you add in all of the other people involved. not just the mother of the bride takes a lot of heat. it's not just her. it's the other woman. the groom's mother. the women now that i think about it. but you take a look at the bride's maids. it's all of the reviews have said -- they have the great

reviews and they say it's a little run a chaunchy. >> we didn't write it to be that dirty. we had some scenes in it that we knew were going to be a little bit that way. but i empowered the ladies on the set to improv and talk the way they would. it all came out of them so my hands are clean. >> people want to see real people. and i think bridesmaids is very real in that people, you know, some women are raunchy. i think something borrowed is very real in that the relationships are messy and complicated and the protagonist is not always the perfect good girl looking for the happy ending. there's layers to people and it's very complicated female friendship ochlt. >> what's nice, though, is that both of these films, both of the story lines, this is more raunchy, this is less traditional. they seem to be attracting different audiences. my co-anchor, chris wragge, big

fan of bridesmaids and traditional chicklet stories or chick flicks are attracting a wider audience. >> a shame that romantic comedy has become so synonymous with insipid stories, predictable stories, flat characters. "when harry met sally," there's romantic element and it's funny. >> more of a life comedy. life is romantic one minute and then it's crazy and the next minute. as long as you do something funny, it happens to do women doing it. we're discovering that guys are really responding to that. funny people who happen to be women. >> if you're man enough to go and get a ticket for bridesmaids or something borrowed. >> come on. >> prove your manhood. >> your lady will really appreciate it. >> if nothing else, it could get you a date. >> yes, exactly. >> you won't have to go to the welding. you can go on a date to the

movies and that's easy. >> you're done. >> just a treat to have both of you here. >> yeah. >> continued success with the project. we're looking forward to more of this ilk. >> thank you. >> okay. got it. doing it. >> thanks again. >> now here's chris. quite a year for gwyneth paltrow. she made headlines for "glee," nominated for an oscar for her role on "country song" and she's written a book, which climbed up to "my father's daughter." doing a little cooking. good to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> a wonderful tribute to your dad. did you guys cook a lot when you were growing up? >> we started when i was 18, 19 when we got obsessed with it and really started watching the food network when it was really instructional and we sort of cuddled up on the couch and watched the shows and try to re-create the meals. it just was the kind of thing that was a real bonding experience for us. my father was so important to me

because he showed me the importance of family and those values and if you invest in those relationships, you have a good life. if you sit down and have a great meal or you cook together, do something homemade and you have a nice glass of wine, it's like that's living. so i wanted to share that. >> and everybody congress regaits regai -- congregates in the kitchen anyway. what's your favorite? >> the macaroni and cheese you. can take the basic thing and do it in a different variation of ways. for the kids, i like to put tomato sauce on the bottom. for myself, i like to do gorgonzola in it. the fun thing is in the end of it, you can put them in different ramikans and do it in different ways. >> what is this? >> some cheese and parmesan. i want to put it in the pot. you want to grate some of that. >> get in there. >> i hate to sound like a guy who hasn't spent much time in

the kitchen, how am i -- how do you want me to do that. >> never mind, let's give you the spoon. >> so a little nutmeg in there. and some pepper. >> i will not be coming up with a cookbook any time soon. >> you won't? >> at the folks at home. >> that's okay. >> you have it over the hot stove. let it melt. what's the consistency? >> that's right. >> this is what it looks like when it's done. a nice creamy sauce. and sthen then it couldn't be e. some cooked ma eed macaroni. and you put enough sauce in so it's nice and coated. >> you said you like to put tomato sauce in there too. kids like that? >> if you put tomato sauce in the bottom, they think it's like a little surprise. so what i like to do for them is at the bottom of the dish, you take the sauce. you can put a jar in one. i have a slow-cooked thoomato sauce in the fridge because i

use it for so many things. >> nice little taste too. something different. >> exactly. once you do that. >> pour it in? >> that much i can do. >> good. perfect. >> a little over there. great. now, you can also do it like i said in these little ramikans, put thoomato sauce in the botto >> the power of television. how long in the oven? >> not very long. you want the topping to get nice and brown and hot already. so no burning? no, okay. good. that's what it looks like all done. >> some parmesan on top. keep checking on it to make sure you don't burn it. >> ten minutes, something like that. >> looks good. i'm going to give it a shot. what else do we have here? this is your favorites. >> this is a hot nisuan salad. a recipe i came up in london one day.

it was cold but i wasn't a salad. so i thought let's do a hot one. it's great, it's a one pan dish. you crack the egg, you get the tuna, everything in there. stick it in the oven, it's kind of done. it's an elegant nice dinner or lunch. super easy too. >> those look niles and healthy. go back to the macaroni and cheese. it's good. tomato sauce. never had macaroni and cheese with tomato sauce. it's kimd of fun, right? >> oh, it's very good. let me ask you this -- you have one cookbook, you have enough recipes for another one? >> no, not yet. >> it's good. >> this is 20 years of my cooking in this one book. so maybe in 20 years. >> great. tremendous success and it's great to have you here. thank you for joining us. >> thankings for having me. >> we appreciate it. gwyneth paltrow. for these recipes, go to the website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. the macaroni and cheese is out of this,,,,,,

then we discovered chex cereals. five flavors of chex are gluten-free, including the honey nut flavor, and that's amazing to a mom like me. as a parent you don't want to have to tell your kids "no" all the time. it's nice for me to be able to say "yes" to something that they want to eat.
