details of his financial support of that 13-year-old boy "early" this thursday morning, may 19th, 2011. good morning, everyone. welcome to "the early show" here on a thursday good morning, everyone. welcome to "the early show" here on a thursday morning. i'm chris wragge. >> i'm erica hill. good to have you with us. dominique strauss-kahn at the job this morning. he was once one of the world's most powerful bankers. now the man accused of sexual assault has resigned as head of the international monetary fund. happened overnight. today his attorneys will be fighting to get him out of jail. they'll offer strauss-kahn to remain under house arrest at his daughter's new york apartment, and put up $1 million bail. a judge, of course, though, must agree to it. just ahead, we're going to preview today's bail hearing for you. we'll also take a look at the search for evidence from the hotel suite where the now former imf head allegedly assaulted a chamber made. >>. >> al qaeda's websites are carrying an auto message from

osama bin laden praising the arab spring revolt in the middle east and north africa. bob orr has the latest on this final message. good morning. >> good morning, chris. it is, as you say, a voice from the grave. 2 1/2 weeks after he was killed by navy s.e.a.l.s, osama bin laden wins again is breaching to his radical followers on an audio tape-recorded shortly before his death. >> reporter: in a 12 1/2-minute tape entitled addressing muslims arks voice believed to be osama bin laden praises the arab revolution, what he calls the winds of change blowing over the muslim world. the deceased al qaeda chief offers encouragement to fellow jihadists. seeing the air rob spring is a victory for islamic law rather than a democratic uprising, he commands followers to free yourself from servitude to the desires of the rulers, man-made law and western dominance. it does not appear that he

intended the remarks to be his last. it is wa posted on jihadist websites recorded a week before he was killed. while there is no way to verify it, his reference to current events suggest the tape is relatively new. this he will study the recording to see if it contains in he coded messages. the cia is still working through a mountain of evidence seized from the compound. sources say they are still looking for evidence of terror plots running down potential leads on the locations of other top terror operatives. two at the top, long time deppy ayman al zawahiri and saif al alal. they say alal is taking control of the group and he has not settled on a new leader. u.s. officials continue to look for any proof that pakistani authorities, military or intelligence officers knew of

bin laden's hide youout. >> i have seen no evidence that the senior leadership knew. in fact, i have seen some evidence to the contrary. we have no evidence yet with respect to anybody else. my supposition is somebody knew. >> now, while bin laden's taped messages presented some kind of victory message, it sounds more like a last gasp with bin laden trying to capitalize on the arab revolution fueled by public protests and not al qaeda's radical ideology. chris? >> bob orr in washington. thank you. also in washington, wyuan z ra day. good morning. >> good morning. why would al qaeda release this now, do you think? >> authorities were expecting an audio tape out there from bin laden. bin laden hadn't spoken about the arab spring, a critical event in the region. we had already heard from ayman al zawahiri but we hadn't heard

from bin laden. this is an important moment in history, an important moment for al qaeda. they wanted his voice out there. interesting timing in the context of the president's sfeech on the middle east that al qaeda has put this out there as part of a messaging war. >> more than coincidence that this has happened? >> well, it may or may not be. certainly, this audio is floating out there. al qaeda reads the newspaper. they know what's going on. they wanted to get his voice out there. they also in the post bin laden period want to preserve his voice and image as they try to undercut the mythology of bin laden. >> many throughout the world, including those here in the united states supported the up riseings earlier this year in egypt and tunisia. in the tapes, bin laden seems to support them as well. can you lay out easily what the difference in the level of supports is between the two? >> what you have from al qaeda is a sense of some victory, some satisfaction that the autocrats, the leaders in places like egypt and tunisia and no gadhafi, have

fallen. this has been a goal for al qaeda for some time. in some ways, it is a victory. al qaeda on the other hand is uneasy because they have been secular, democratic and largely youth-driven protests. this doesn't benefit al qaeda. there is a battle for reform and the meaning of the arab spring which puts the president's speech in sharper relief today. >> how do you think al qaeda benefits from releasing an audio tape? this didn't put bin laden in the most positive light? >> well, i think what they are trying to do is first of all get bin laden's voice out there, because he has this message. it is important in the context for them of the arab spring. i think it is also important that they preserve his mythology, that they use his image, his voice to gal vvanize the global movement and to keep the movement unified. this is part of the effort from

al qaeda. >> juan zarate, thank you. bill plante, give us an idea of the reaction the white house? >> reporter: no formal reaction, erica. they do tell us off the record, hey, this is what we expected. as you've just heard that, bin laden would try to capitalize on the arab spring. >> a lot of focus today for the president and the white house, obviously going to be in the president's speech as the state department leader today on the middle east. some criticism that there is not a clear policy. is that going to change after today's speech? >> reporter: no, i don't think it will. this is a broad outline of what the president hopes to see in the middle east. whether he will get into the details of asking israel and the palestinians to do this or that to settle their differences is not quite clear. we think not. this is an outline of the economic prospects for

undergirding a new renaissance in the middle east. the president is going to propose $1 billion worth of debt relief and various international job creation ideas. there will be another $1 billion from various other federal and international loan guarantees. so this is about the possibilities for the future in the middle east. he wants to create jobs and economic security there. >> bill plante at the white house this morning, bill, thanks. joining us now from the west banks former british prime minister, tony blair, now the middle east envoy for the group representing the u.s., u.n., russia nd athe european union. mr. prime minister, good to have you with us. israel has made the argument that this is actually not the best time to take a look at the peace process. how, though, could the president, could president obama convince the two parties that this is actually an opportune moment. >> i think by trying to lay out

a clear framework as to how we move this forward. the region at the moment is in a huge amount of turmoil. i think the president today will lay out a plan to back reformers, to have a process of steady ev steady evolution. secondly, he will want to give economic support to the countries undergoing change. the israel/palestine issue fits absolutely into the changing nature of the region. right athis momen this moment, difficult to come to a peace still and he will try to get some direction. >> i want to move to the rest of the region because there is so much focus on this arab spring, much of it brought about by junk people that wanted a job and by the economic situation in many countries with people around the globe can relate to. moving forward, how important is this economic incentive that the president will lay out in terms

of perhaps winning some support in those nations? >> reporter: it is hugely important. we also support the process of reform and democratty zation. unless it is accompanied by action on the economy, the danger is people become disillusioned very quickly. it is a great process of political reform. it is also true that growth slowed dramatically and that the tourist industry is experiencing huge difficulties. for the president to lay out an economic plan for the region is absolutely essential. these countries need help because the right to vote is important. so is the ability to get a job. so is prosperity and freedom of expression and freedom of religion. it is more than just a process whereby people vote in their government. if you don't put the economic and the social aspects alongside of it, there is a danger. dislugs sets in and more extreme elements can explode the

situation. >> i want to touch on syria before we let you go. obviously, sanctions are put in place. at this point in syria, how much influence can any country have based on the regime that is currently in place? >> well, it is really difficult, because what again has to happen. possibly this is the right way to look at the whole region. what has to happen, you need to plan for evolution so that countries move slowly but steadily and surely towards a situation where people have greater freedom, the chance to elect their governments and so on. the problem with revolutions is never where they begin but where they end. however, if you don't have that process of evolution in place and syria, hard to see that happening, then people say, our only alternative is to rise up, because we don't have the chance of the evolution towards some more representative, more democratic system. so this is why it is very difficult to influence from the outside but i think, again, in

the light of the changes happening in the region, the president will want to give some guidance as to how he thinks the situation should change. >> former prime minister, tony blair. thanks for joining us this morning, sir. >> thank you. here is jeff glor at the news desk with a check of today's other headlines this morning. good morning. >> good morning. as you guys mentioned off the top of the international monetary fund is looking for a new leader this morning. dominique strauss-kahn resigned late last night. michelle miller is at the criminal court building right here in new york. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. lawyers for the now unemployed dominique strauss-kahn head to court hoping to negotiate his release from jail, that, as a grand jury decides whether or not to charge him with the sexual assault of a 32-year-old maid. last night, dominique strauss-kahn resigned as the head of the international monetary fund and released a statement saying he did so with infinite sadness and in an

effort to protect this institution. he also map tanintained his inne saying, i deny with the greatest possible firmness all of the allegations that have been made against me. his defense team is now trying to negotiate his release from jail with a detailed proposal on grand jury investigates the allegations of sexual assault that took place inside this manhattan hotel room last saturday. in documents obtained by cbs news, strauss-kahn has agreed to post a $1 million cash bail while wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet and confined to a home address in manhattan for 24 hours a day. he will surrender his diplomatic passport issued by the u.n. on wednesday, his accuser testified before a secret grand jury. the 32-year-old widow from west africa gave graphic details of the alleged sexual assault. >> the allegation is that there is not just sexual abuse but physical abuse. any kind of trace evidence that

shows an association between the maid and the imf chief is going to be very important evidence. >> reporter: and defense attorneys are set to argue, a key argue in this case for them will be that if any sex did occur, it was consensual. >> michelle miller, thank you. the faa says a mistake by an air traffic controller allowed two jets to come within 300 feet of each other only minutes after vice president joe biden's plan landed on monday. it happened at chicago's o'hare. an express flight was cleared for takeoff as a sky west flight was coming in for landing. the controller who ordered the takeoff says oh [ expletive ]. they asked what the expletive was at. the controller said, sorry. congresswoman, gabrielle giffords, is recovering after surgeons placed a plastic implant on her skull. her husband, mark kelly, who is

now to the latest on arnold schwarzenegger an maria shriver. "people" magazine reports that she's hired a lawyer but has not yet decided if she wants a divorce. meanwhile, we now know the name of the mother of the former california governor's teenage love child. cbs news national correspondent ben tracy has more. >> reporter: this picture,

believed to be taken in 1994, shows arnold schwarzenegger dancing at his home with mildred patricia baena. she was his longtime housekeeper and the woman with whom he later fathered a child. a secret they both kept for nearly 14 years. schwarzenegger is now being hounded by new and damaging details. his birth certificate shows the child, a boy, was born in october 1997. just a week after schwarzenegger's wife maria shriver gave birth to their youngest son christopher. divorce papers show baena, separated from her then-husband less than a month later. they claim they had no children of their own. schwarzenegger has been supporting the boy, now 13 years old. he lives with his mother in this four-bedroom home in bakersfield, california. >> just a really, really nice kid. it's a kid you want to have. >> reporter: on tuesday night, maria shriver appeared onstage in chicago, with longtime friend oprah winfrey. at a taping for one of her final shows. shriver did not mention her husband directly, but thanked

oprah for having, quote, always given me love, support, wisdom, and most of all, the truth. so far this scandal is not affecting arnold schwarzenegger's hollywood comeback. >> i'll be back. >> reporter: he is set to star in three upcoming films, including two new installments of the terminator franchise. >> the biggest stumbling block will be the promotion of the movies. this will be the elephant in the room. will he talk about it? not talk about it? it's going to be very difficult. >> reporter: many are amazed the former governor risked his political and film careers, and ultimately his family. >> hollywood hubris and political hubris rolled into one. so it's no surprise that schwarzenegger may have thought that the rules didn't apply to him. >> reporter: but now his long-held secret is finally catching up with him. ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. and joining us now is cbs news legal analyst lisa bloom. good morning. >> good morning. >> technically, this woman was arnold schwarzenegger's employee for a period of time. could sexual harassment charges be factored in at all?

>> it's a great question. now, sexual harassment has a one to three-year statute of limitations. so that means he would have had to have done something within at least the last three years to bring in the older acts. he says this all happened a decade ago. nothing happened since then. if that's true, then she couldn't bring any sexual harassment claims. >> now we're only hearing about this affair now, but like you said this has been a decade. could be as long as 13, 14 years. what does it say about a potential confidentiality clause that was maybe in place? >> we have to assume that he reached an agreement with her, right? by which he paid her child support, he took care of her, potentially bought her a house, and in exchange he got confidentiality. child support sauce modifiable by a court in california. so she could always go in and say the circumstances have changed, i need more money. she could also ask to get the confidentiality clause lifted. she could say all of this media is happening now, people are saying things about me that aren't true. i need to respond and she could ask the court to lift that. the court probably wouldn't. but the court could change the child support at any time.

>> as far as the rights of this woman, like you said, she could go, we don't know of pre-existing deals were in place, but now with this now being public, does it look as though she's probably going to come in and try to alter whatever agreement may be out there? >> look at it this way. we haven't heard from her so far. i assume that every media organization in the phone world is beating down her door trying to get an interview. the longer she remains quiet the more i'm going to believe there's a confidentiality clause in place. the way that they're typically drafted is you get periodic payments over time. if you talk you don't get any money in the future. that gives people a good motivation to remain quiet. >> i'd love to talk about mar why right now. not only has this been an embarrassing episode for her but also the personal toll and if she does go through with the divorce what does this mean as far as settlements? >> california is a community property state. unless there's a prenup, she's entitled to half of the assets that were accrued during the marriage. now a lot of people have asked me, does she get some kind of a bonus because of his reprehensible behavior? is the judge going to throw the book at him? the answer is no. it's a no-fault state. a lot of people have affairs and

the courts long ago said we're not going to give you a premium because your spouse cheated on you. even if it's egregious as it appears to be here. >> this is just a 50/50 split situation? >> 50/50 and she will also get child support. plus she should get spousal support. >> how long would something like this take, considering they're both worth so much? >> well, it could take years, if they litigated it. surely arnold does not want to litigate this. surely he's going to pay a little bit extra to resolve this and try to move on himself with his career. >> lisa bloom, thanks very much. good to see you this morning. coming up next on "the early show," clearing up the confusion for parents who need to know how much acetaminophen to give a sick child. we're going to tell you why the government is now tenning in. this is the "early" show here on cbs. vo: this is julie. she won't shop for a new pc because... julie: ... i don't feel there's something out there better than what i've got now. vo: so to show her what she's missing, we built a pc store in her house. julie: (gasp) employee: thanks for dropping in! julie: you've got to be kidding me! this isn't my house anymore! employee: have a little look around! julie: very nice!

you want to help them. >> that's correct. we've all been there. good morning, erica. acetaminophen is one of the most commonly used pain and fever relievers for infants, but it can also be very dangerous if it's given improperly. but now the fda may step in to help reduce the chances of an overdose. >> how has he been acting? >> okay. >> reporter: for parents like jennifer kainen, giving her 1-year-old son joseph fever and pain medicine has always been confusing. especially as he currently recovers from an ear infection. >> quite frightening if you're home and it's really late and they have a high fever, and you're frantic and saying, okay, is it the children's or the infants? and if it's the infants and he's under 2, then what's the dosage? >> reporter: that's because most packages say to consult your doctor when giving acetaminophen to children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years. and that leaves worried parents guessing the dosage. >> they don't even tell you if they're under 2 how much to give them. in whi case i'm scrambling online or calling my doctor.

>> reporter: but on wednesday an fda advisory panel voted unanimo unanimously to recommend that dosing instructions for children under 2 be added to popular pain and fever reducing drugs and that they be based on a child's weight. >> an overdose of acetaminophen can be very serious and cause liver damage and even death. >> reporter: last year alone, 7500 emergencies were reported to poison control centers across the country, due to accidental dosing errors. >> as a pediatrician and a mom of two young boys, i am excited by these new guidelines. and i hope that it means that we see few overdoses, and that parents can safely dose their children with medication when needed. >> his ears look great. let's just see him back for his one-year checkup. >> reporter: potentially life-saving guidelines for jennifer kainen and parents of infants nationwide. >> give us an idea. why haven't drugmakers, up until this point, put out recommendations for kids under 2? >> you would think that they would have done it sooner, erica. first of all to clarify, we're talking here about the single

ingredient product containing acetaminophen, also known as tylenol. and i think there are a couple of reasons. but this is a trend that has been increasing in the recent past, and doctors and the government alike have been following it. ideally, parents would consult their pediatrician and their doctor before medicating their child. but as you and i both know, but as any parent knows, that's just not always realistic or possible. >> the new guidelines are going to be based on not only age but on weight. which is the way the other guidelines are for ages 2 plus. >> that's correct. and in reality, erica, medically that's the way most medications are dosed. they're based on weight, not on age. they'll also be uniformed dosing devices, so instead of saying the word teaspoon, which is fraught with confusion and the possibility for error, there will be either be droppers or measuring cups, making that dosing much more precise, much safer, and we have to remember, not every fever in a baby or a child even needs treatment. so again, talk to your pediatrician. >> so important to consult your doctor. >> absolutely. >> real quickly, he does this

with each other. they have 100 million members worldwide. 1,000 employees. they made 243 billion dollars in sales. and the reason this is such a significant day, not only for linked in, but also for social media, and social networking websites, is that a lot of these companies are planning on going public. this is going to be a litmus test for how the others like twitter and facebook might do down the road when they do this. >> a lot of people ask how do these sites actually make any money? >> it's a big question. the majority of them are making money bailesed on advertising. facebook, for example, they have 600 million users. 600 million members. those advertisers want your eyeballs on them. so they work with facebook. that's how facebook makes money. linked in, on the other hand, works with corporations, because corporations list their companies. they recruit. and they pay money to do that on linked in. >> i mentioned it in the lead-in a second ago. it's the one thing nobody wants to talk of now is the dotcom bubble from back in the '90s. could something potentially like that happen here with a lot of these sites? >> there's always going to be potential for a bubble in

anything there's overexcitement for it. what we do see here, however, is a different landscape in the world. right now, there are 2 billion internet users worldwide. that is a very different state of the internet than it was back in the 1990s. also, these companies, the likes of facebook and twitter, they're actually making money. they're generating a profit. that's different from before, because back then, people were betting on companies without any money. and lastly we need to keep in mind there were some great lessons learned. don't talk to your neighbor and get an idea from them and go out and trade on it. actually think these things through. talk to your financial adviser before you make a bet like this. >> real quickly, about ten seconds, as far as the overall job picture, with these companies doing real well does it mean a lot of jobs? >> if you go to silicon valley where a lot of them are based, it's a lot better time than the rest of the companies. >> we'll be right back. this is "the early show" here on cbs. stay with us. choose a texas toast half-sandwich, like our classic turkey, piled high and tasty. pair with a delicious soup or house salad. served with seasoned fries, it's big flavor

welcome back to "the early show" here on a thursday morning, may 19th, 2011. looking at a shot of central park right there. >> hi, everyone. >> green grass. >> too bad all the weather around it, not too bad. the grass is getting saturated. i'm chris wragge along with erica hill. >> this morning, osama bin laden's final message for the muslim world. it's a taped address that has just come out. cbs news homeland security correspondent bob orr is in washington this morning with the very latest on that. so, bob, what essentially does this tape say? >> well, erica, it hits the same broad themes we've seen before from bin laden and al qaeda. it's a 12 1/2 minute long tape.

principally focused on addressing the muslim population, specifically regarding the arab revolution, the spring arab revolution that we've seen. on the tape, bin laden praises what's happened in egypt. he praises the protesters in tunisia, and praises them for bringing about change. but he also exhorts his followers to not let up. what strikes me about this is this is al qaeda, trying to kind of glob onto the success of the street protesters in these various arab lands. al qaeda had very little to do with the revolution, but right now they seem to be willing to take part of the credit, erica. >> interesting tactic there. how relevant, overall, though, is this tape? not only for al qaeda, but for the rest of the world? >> i don't think there's going to be much evidentiary value in the tape. like i said, he doesn't reveal anything that we know of regarding plots or future actions by al qaeda or any of his followers. but i think the point for al qaeda is this is an attempt to keep bin laden's voice relevant. it comes 2 1/2 weeks after his death. the terror organizations right

now still do not have a leader. there's some signs that there's been a bit of disarray. so this is an attempt to kind of placate his followers, to say, look, we're still relevant. we still have a voice here. and in some ways it keeps bin laden alive. i don't think in the long-term it will have much value for us. >> cbs' bob orr in washington, thanks. >> thanks. president obama, of course, is preparing a major speech today on u.s. relations with the middle east. cbs news senior white house correspondent bill plante is at the white house this morning. bill, give us an idea, what can we expect in that speech today? >> well, there are two audiences to this speech, erica. and the most important one is in the middle east, where it will appear in prime time. the white house says that the president wants to lay out a broad vision of what can happen in the middle east, following the uprisings in egypt, tunisia, and all across the region and the death of bin laden. there will be an economic emphasis. more about that in a moment. but at the same time, he will have to refer back to the big issue, the elephant in the room, the israeli/palestinian peace process.

now there's been a big debate here about exactly how much he should say. whether he should lay out specific ideas, like a return to the 1967 borders, or if he should just be more general. earlier on the broadcast, former british prime minister tony blair, who is now a special envoy to the middle east, says he thinks the president should urge the israelis and palestinians to come back to the peace table. >> the israel/palestine issue fits absolutely in to the changing nature of the region, and right at this moment, yes it may be difficult to come to a peace deal, but i still think it's important we get some direction for this process, and i think he'll try to do that. >> there will also be an important economic emphasis in this speech. the idea of rebuilding the economy in those countries, and the president will pledge several billion dollars of aid, and various other packages, to help them do that. erica? >> and, bill, we should point out this is really a speech for two audiences. there is, of course, the u.s. audience who will be listening. but also for the rest of the world. he's making his case to two very

different groups, in a lot of ways. >> that's right. and the u.s. audience is expected to be less interested in this than the people in the middle east who really want to know whether the u.s. backs this freedom movement. >> bill plante at the white house this morning. thanks. now here's chris. >> erica, thank you. dominique strauss-kahn has resigned from the international monetary fund to concentrate on defending himself against sexual assault charges. he has a bail hearing today, and cbs news correspondent michelle miller is in lower manhattan with the latest on this story. michelle, good morning. >> good morning, chris. the now-unemployed dominique strauss-kahn is heading to court today. you mentioned that. but, he's really hoping that his defense team for -- on this second attempt, can get him out of jail. last night, dominique strauss-kahn resigned as the head of the international monetary fund, and released a statement saying he did so with infinite sadness, and in an effort to protect this institution. he also maintained his innocence, saying, i deny with the greatest possible firmness

all of the allegations that have been made against me. >> they gentlemen is entitled to bail. >> reporter: his defense team is now trying to negotiate his release from jail, with a detailed proposal while a grand jury investigates the allegations of sexual assault that took place inside this manhattan hotel room last saturday. in documents obtained by cbs news, strauss-kahn has agreed to post a $1 million cash bail, will wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, and will be confined to a home address in manhattan for 24 hours a day. he will also surrender his diplomatic passport issued by the u.n. his resignation now raises the question as to who should replace him. with some calling for a new leader from a developing nation, and not a european country. >> it's a prestige matter for europe. to lose the leadership of the imf would look like a big step back to them. >> and the state department has wrapped up its own legal review of this case, and has decided that strauss-kahn does not have diplomatic immunity, because when he was arrested, he was not

on official business for the imf. chris? >> all right, michelle miller in lower manhattan for us this morning. thank you. joining us now is cbs news legal analyst jack ford. good morning to you. like michelle mentioned, diplomatic immunity is off the table. >> off the table. you know, it's a funny situation. there are treaties out there in some countries, somebody like him in his position would have almost absolute imunty. get away with almost anything. u.s. isn't part of that. u.s. has said unless it's part of your official job we're not going to protect you. >> bail hearing is set for today. what kind of negotiations do you think have been discussed behind closed doors? >> a lot of scrambling going on here. here's what you have to understand about bail. a lot of people think it's a head-start on punishment. it isn't. we have presumption of innocence. there is a presumption, most cases, that there should be some bail. bail is designed to guarantee that you show up. it's not to start punishing you early. so, here what's happening is the prosecution, we know, has said,

you know, he was in the act of fleeing. this is a serious offense. he has no ties to this community. he's a french citizen, we don't want to give him any bail. the defense is saying let's come up with a combination of things that will satisfy everybody. so the defense is saying to the prosecutor and the judge, how about this? big number for bail. so that if he leaves, that gets forfeited. they're saying we'll give him, essentially house arrest, we'll put a bracelet on him, monitor him 24/7, everybody will know where he is. he'll' grew he's going to give his passport, he's not going to leave. and if for any reason he leaves, he will agree to come back. it's a lot of horse trading going on. i think the prosecution is still going to argue we don't want to let him go, because they have to take that position. you know, it will be interesting to see what the judge does. >> because the judge even the other day did say, hey, he was two minutes away from departing for a foreign country. >> right. and that's very compelling for the prosecution. the defense are trying to argue, no, no, no, it's not what it looks like here. they're saying this is a flight that was prearranged. he talked with people, told them where he was.

so you're going to see a lot of factual arguments going on in this hearing. >> the likelihood of him getting bail? >> i think it's fairly good possibility that he will. again, as long as they come up with this combination of circumstances that let the judge say, i'm confident he's not going to go anywhere, so big bail, a million, maybe more, as we said, a bracelet, 24 hours, have to stay here in the city of new york. not going anywhere else. i think something will work out. >> with each passing day, more and more reports have surfaced from overseas about his checkered past. other women coming forward, saying that he had made advances, unwanted advances against them. french president nicolas sarkozy said he was warned years back, these are what reports are saying. does that play into this bail hearing at all? and if it goes to trial, can that history be factored in? >> the answer to the second part first, generally speaking, no. generally speaking prior bad acts don't come into a criminal case. some circumstances. here i think the judge might mention it a little bit. it won't be the major compelling factor. but it's in the picture a little bit. >> got it. jack ford, thanks very much.

good to see you this morning. now let's go over to jeff glor at the news desk with a check of today's other headlines for us this morning. jeff, good morning again. >> chris, good morning once again today you. congresswoman gabrielle giffords is recovering this morning after surgery to replace a piece of her skull. yesterday doctors used a custom-made plastic insert to cover a hole in giffords' skull. this morning her husband, astronaut mark kelly, who is currently on a nasa mission on "endeavour" sid said she's doing great. >> she's doing really well. everything went as planned. her neurosurgeons are very happy. she's recuperating, and he's actually getting back to therapy today. so it went really, really well. >> and doctors say the surgery she underwent is common and there's little chance of infection. we may soon learn more about giffords' accused shooter jared loughner. yesterday an arizona judge ordered a community college to release some 250 e-mails written about loughner. the e-mails were written after he had a series of run-ins with campus police and teachers. the mother of 6-year-old camden hughes will be in a massachusetts courtroom this

morning, accused of killing him. julianne mccrery was arrested yesterday and taken to a hospital for a medical evaluation. sources tell cbs news she has confessed to killing camden. apparently saying she gave the boy too much cough syrup. his body was found on a dirt road in maine, where a makeshift memorial now stands. two years ago, mccrery wrote an ebook called, "good night, sleep tight, how to fall asleep and go back to sleep when you wake up." the mothers of those two american hikers being held in iran are beginning a hunger strike today. since they last saw their sons in iran a year ago the two young men are thought to have gone on a hunger strike themselves. the mothers say they'll fast in solidarity. aviation officials are investigating the crash of an argentinean airliners. the twin engine turboprop crashed last night in southern argentina. 22 people were on board. no one survived. just prior to that crash the pilot did send an emergency call. federal safety officials are investigating a fiery plane

in this morning's "healthwatch," testing for cervical cancer. thanks to widespread use of the pap smear, death rates from cervical cancer have been cut by more than half over the last 30 years. now researchers say incorporating a different test could save even more lives. medical correspondent and ob/gyn dr. jennifer ashton has this for us this morning. it's a good thing you're a resident medical correspondent, because this really is your wheelhouse. this is your specialty. >> right. >> talk to us about the findings here. looks at two different tests for cervical cancer. >> exactly. and to clarify, erica, we're talking here about the difference between a pap smear, which is the widespread means to screen for kelp cal cancer. that test looks at the actual cells from the cervix to see if they are becoming abnormal and an hpv test which is a dna test to detect the presence of the human papilloma virus or hpv. we know that the vast majority of of cervical cancers are caused, in fact, by this sexually transmitted disease,

hpv. the good news is, most people who are exposed to hpv clear this virus on its own, and by the age of 50, erica, over 50% of women have been exposed to hpv. this is incredibly widespread. >> which sounds great, that hpv test, sounds like it would be far more accurate. is the pap smear not needed anymore? >> well, again, brewing controversy. but we've known for some time that this dna test for the human papilloma virus is actually superior to the pap smear. it does not mean that women do not need to go to their gynecologist. we have to make that crystal clear. but, in fact, this particular latest study looked at over 300,000 women, and really found that those who were at high risk of developing cervical cancer, the hpv test was superior to the pap smear, especially in predicting which women may progress to develop cervical cancer in the next five years. >> you said it's really important to make sure you still have an annual visit with your ga

gynecologist. but do you still need the annual pap test? >> the guidelines have been evolving and they are variable and different for every woman based on their age group and whether or not they're pregnant, if they have any weakened immune system or medical problems. but the three biggest categories that women should really know about for pap smears are the following. number one, the first pap smear is done at age 21, not before. you have no idea how many patients i see who get pap smears before then. it is wrong. it is not the national guidelines. the second group is women 21 to 29 years of age, they can have pap smears every two years, providing that their pap smears have been normal. and women over 30 need to get a pap smear and really should get this hpv test every three years. again, with the proviso that all of their pap smears in the past have been normal. >> so this really, too is cutting the rates of cervical cancer. 12,000 cases will be diagnosed this year. how else can you cut that risk? >> this is something that you can have a major impact on in

terms of your environmental and behavioral factors. number one limit your number of lifetime sexual partners. consider getting the vaccine if it's an appropriate age group. do not smoke. and again, this does not mean you don't have to see your gynecologist. you need to see your gynecologist regularly. >> jen, thanks. >> you bet. >> for more on cervical cancer screening, just logon to our partner in health, webmd.com and serve hpv test. stay with us. we'll be right back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. >> "cbs healthwatch" sponsored by levemir flexpen. ask your doctor about the benefits of levemir flexpen today. and i've learned a lot from patients who use levemir flexpen. flexpen comes pre-filled with my long-acting insulin, and i dial the exact dose of insulin i need. my flexpen is discreet and doesn't need to be refrigerated. and flexpen goes wherever i go. levemir is a long-acting insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes. do not take if your blood sugar is too low.

we're going to tell you why and also help you find out if this could be the right time for you to sell yours. first, though, marysol castro is standing by with another check of the weather. 32 minutes just about past the hour now. >> so much more cachet when you refer to it as pre-owned vehicle. right? right. good morning you guys. good morning, everyone at home. we'll take a look at the high temperatures across the land. when it's 71 in caribou, maine, it's a nice day. just don't pay any attention to the precipitation. 85 in new orleans. 69 in kansas city. even 75

>> thanks so much. that's your latest weather. now here's erica. >> mary, thanks. this morning a controversial new study is out commissioned by u.s. bishops on the sex abuse crisis in the roman catholic church. critics say it falls terribly short. cbs news correspondent elaine quijano has more for us this morning. >> good morning to you, erica. in this report researchers ruled out several factors in the sex abuse crisis. the study took five years, and was conducted by researchers from new york's john jay college

of criminal justice. but victims are skeptical and say it's the role of bishop that should be examined. for survivors of clergy sexual abuse, wednesday's report marked another deep disappointment. >> the bishops lied to us about transferring priests, these are the things bishops continue to lie to us. >> reporter: the new study partially blames the clergy sex abuse crisis on the sexual revolution. >> the increased frequency of abuse in the 1960s and 1970s is consistent with patterns of increased deviance in society during that time. >> reporter: in addition to social influences, the report cites poor seminary training, and isolation of priests. but for former new york city sex crimes prosecutor linda fairstein, blaming culture rings hollow. >> these crimes occurred for decades, if not centuries, before there was a sexual revolution. that's a fact. >> reporter: some question the report, since the church provided the information for analysis. the report also makes a controversial decision to label

priests pedophiles only if they molests children age 10 or younger. by their standards, just 5% of the priests fit the pedophile profile. >> most of the kids that the clergy have access to alone are going to be in the 9, 10, to 15, 16-year-old category. it's illegal to engage in sexual contact with them. so it's a very artificial thing. it's a mandate to just say we're talking about under 10. >> reporter: researchers say homosexuality, celibacy and an all-male priesthood did not play a role and said there was no way to identify potential abusers ahead of time. the report got mixed reaction from catholics leaving church. >> kind of like asking the fox as he comes out of the henhouse, how many chickens were in there before you went in. you know. so it's a step in the right direction, but obviously we also need independent surveys, reviews, and in-depth coverage.

>> now the report does not address the problem of bishops who covered up for abusive priests. researchers do say that church leaders responded to the crisis, but focused on priests, and not the victims. erica? >> has the vatican weighed in at all? >> just this weekend a letter the vatican told bishops that within a year they have to come up with guidelines on how to deal with abusive priests. but what's interesting about this is that the vatican didn't spell out any punishment for bishops who don't comply. so in effect these were really just suggestions. not an actual mandatory order. >> do victims feel that there's any progress being made? >> you know, not really. because they point to what's happened in the philadelphia archdiocese, and the church there. a grand jury found a few months ago that there were some 37 priests still in active ministry who had credible accusations against them. they still basically had access to children. and so what the victims groups have said is, look, this is a perfect example of how, in fact, it took a grand jury with subpoena power to expose these cases. bottom line, they say, the church cannot police itself.

>> wow. amazing. elaine quijano, thanks. now here's chris. >> erica, thank you. there is a great market for used cars right now. if you're selling one, dealers are paying a lot more than they did just a few months ago. and regina lewis, who covers personal finance for dailyfinance.com is here to tell us exactly why and what you should do, get a little advantage out there. good to see you. >> thank you. >> why are they going for so much more this year? >> a lot of it has to do with good old-fashioned supply and demand. we're talking about 16% more year over year. 16-year highs. pretty incredible. bottom line, chris, people are holding onto their vehicles longer. about a year longer. so, there's the numbers. >> yeah. >> so they're simply not trading them in. i was at car max, the guy looked at me and said the lot's half empty. number two, this is a biggie a lot of people don't realize, in 2008 credit really tightened up. that means people had trouble getting leases. if you fast forward to 2011, right about now, these leased cars would be used cars. that pipeline is dry. rental car companies did the same thing. they didn't buy as many.

those used vehicles aren't there. and of course, things in japan exacerbated things. >> is there a certain car where you're going to get a better deal? >> you know, it is sa cross the board but particularly small, compact vehicles and hybrids, because of the gas price issue. every dollar in gas prices on average increases the value of a small car. by 10%. so that's $10,000 small car on the lot, boom, gas prices go up $1, it's now worth $11,000. here's some examples. ford focus, last year it would have been worth, the 2008 model, $7,500. today it's worth $9,600. that $2,000 spread, if you think about it. if you had a $200 car payment, you could have been driving this vehicle for the last year, pretty much would have paid for itself. >> i guess the opposite would agree for vuvs. they would probably -- >> suvs tougher when you trade those in. the gas guzzlers are going for less. a lot of people are upside down on their suvs. meaning their loan is more than what they could get for it. >> more savings for the hyundai elantra. >> this is the prius.

that spread is almost $5,000. >> that's incredible. ask this a trend that's going to continue, do we think? >> i talked to the renowned auto journalist in detroit, and he said the general consensus is it's going to level off this fall. and in 2012. so it really is a moment in time. >> when you are selling your car, there are a number of things, what would be the first bit of advice you would have with that whole checklist of things you're going to do before you put it out there on the market? >> the kelly blue book has the most objective assessment of what the vehicle is worth. smart to know that number. the second if you go to autotrader.com you can see what vehicles are selling for. that gives you a sense. there are some regional differences. it will also help you, this is an advanced move, if you are about to get out of a lease and you have a low residual value, meaning you can buy that car for a lot less, if you go to autotrader.com it might reveal the fact you should buy that lease out, go down to another dealer down the street and sell it. you could use that profit for a new vehicle.

>> it's almost like buying a house. you're going to have to comp it to other houses in the area to see what you can get. you suggest that maybe it wouldn't hurt to be your own sales person, too. >> you'll get about 10% more if you go it alone versus using a dealer. there are classified online. aol has classified. ebay, craigslist, where you post photos. don't forget social networking, also. if you have a facebook or twitter. people inherently like to buy from someone they know. there's trust in that. >> and when closing the deal. >> you really want cash or a cashier's check. you do not want a personal check. too much risk. also you don't want to waste time with buyers who really aren't going to be able to come through. it's hard to get a loan in a private sale because the loan companies like to rely on dealerships to have them check the balances. >> there's your keys right there. >> cash, cash, cash. >> do not take a personal check. that's the advice we offer to everyone. regiona, good to see you. thanks again. >> chris, thanks. ben harper's voice is simply unmistakable. the singer/songwriter's soulful, bluesy sound has brought him

morning show. thanks for doing it with us. >> thanks for having us. >> this show was inspired by neil young in london. >> that's correct, hyde park. >> what was it about playing with him, about that show that made you want to write this song? >> well, neil is putting on the great show in the world. and i was just super inspired that night. and wrote it, right after. >> this is your first solo album in five years? >> yeah. >> why now? what made you want to do a solo album? >> it's the right time. timing is the most important part. i've done a few different projects. i did another band, a third band. i'm having a competition, me and tom row and jack white are having a competition for the most bands. and it was just time to go back to doing it. >> there is a little collaboration, i should say, on the album. ringo starr -- >> i write with all the bands, ringo, honor of a lifetime having him on our record. jackson browne, honor of a lifetime. >> you recorded a lot of this in

jackson browne studios. >> that's right. >> anybody you haven't worked with that you would really love to work with? >> who have -- you know what? >> putting you on the spot. >> i should have done a little bit more -- i should have thought about it. they told me you might ask that. yeah i'd love to. well, neil, i haven't actually been in the studio with neil. >> how different is it to be in the studio with someone versus just, you know, jamming onstage somewhere? >> it's -- they're both great. but being in the studio, you get a chance to bring something to life, create in a way that is not the norm, it's not normal onstage. >> yeah. >> and you can really write, build, and craft in the studio. and a lot of it is improvisation. >> it's great either way. good to have you again. best of luck with the new album. ben harper again. we'll be right back. stay with us. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. ,,,,,,

welcome back on wednesday. cbs released its fall schedule hoping to remain america's most-watched television network. good to be part of that company. as we have been for the past nine years including this past season. >> the fall schedule has five new series including the comedy "two broke girls." joining us now is the two stars kat dennings and beth behrs. welcome to the cbs family. >> thank you. >> and to "the early show." hopefully we'll be seeing a lot of you. boy, this is fantastic for you guys. not only does your show get picked up but you have great placement. monday nights. 8:30, in between two of our biggest hits. i mean, has it sunk in yet? >> no. >> has it? >> no. i don't know. >> i don't know either. >> it's been wonderful. it's been wonderful. >> i couldn't sleep, got up yesterday and it was such a long day and then i got back in bed. >> i know. it's hard. >> it's hard to sleep. >> got sleep for two hours and then you came here.

>> people probably don't realize how competitive it is for pilot seasons. so many networks have so many options. to get chosen was a huge, huge honor. where were you when you found out you got the call or whatever the show got picked up and you're actually going to be on television? >> i was literally moving amounts. i had a box in my hands when whitney cummings told me that we got picked up and i dropped the box and started like screaming and was jumping up and down by myself in my apartment. >> i was driving. and i had to pull over because i started to cry. i was overcome with emotion. i was like, this is insane. >> i had to -- >> yeah, i had to -- >> like you pulled over. >> very important message. >> tell us a little bit about the show. it's called "two broke girls." girls from two very different worlds who end up working the same place. >> yeah. opposite sides of the track. i play max black who is broke, obviously. always was broke. born poor and worked two jobs to, you know, support herself.

and then caroline. >> and i play caroline who was an upper east side trust fund princess who's now lost all of her money because her father was a crook and stole from all of new york city, so they freeze all her assets, she has nowhere to live, so she goes to brooklyn because she knows none of her upper east side friends will see her there and she meets max. they become roommates. >> very nice. >> the chemistry is half the battle. did you guys kind of know right off the bat that we got along, this is going to work, or was there that three months of -- >> no. >> the second i met this one i knew. >> yeah. >> kat actually flew out. she was doing a movie in florida and flew out for like two hours across the country to test with me. and as soon as we met it was like instant. >> i was like -- you're all in trouble. >> yes. >> so you start shooting later this summer. >> yes. we're really excited. >> any ideas? you have little tidbits

obviously you've done the pilots. anything you guys are hoping for that will come up in your first season? >> oh. well their hope is to start this cupcake business, caroline discovers that max is an amazing cupcake baker and she has the business sense, she's like, we can make a lot of money doing this. but in order to get the start-up money to do it, she has to -- they have to work all these odd jobs, because just getting tips at the diner isn't going to cut it. so you're going to see caroline and max in very interesting situations. >> working every job in new york city possible. >> you know -- >> almost brings to mind a picture of lucy and ethel. >> yes. >> making the chocolates. >> exactly. >> we'll be watching for your mad escapades. great to have you with us. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> congrats. and don't have too much fun here in new york. i know it can be -- not much sleep. >> all right. >> there you have it. >> "two broke girls" this fall monday nights 8:30 right here on cbs. we'll see you tomorrow. ,,
