financial markets around the world react to news of the debt deal. >> caption colorado, llc comments@captioncolorado.com good morning. two houses not so divided. finally agree on a plan to cut spending and raise the federal debt limit without any tax increases. >> it will allow us to avoid default, it will allow us to pay our bills. it will allow us to start reducing our deficit in a responsible way. >> the senate votes later today, then the house. but this is washington, where no deal is done until the pen hits the paper. and there is still plenty of time for politicking before the day is over. we'll hear from lawmakers "early" this monday morning, we'll hear from lawmakers "early" this monday morning, august 1st, 2011. captioning funded by cbs and good monday morning to

you. you see a beautiful morning here in washington. i'm erica hill in washington. it's been a wild ride in the capitol with a tentative agreement last night. for once, though, there is perhaps a hint of a few smiles here. chris wragge is in new york. >> will wonders ever cease to amaze, correct? coming up, so much of the news to get to as well. critical announcement affecting all women using birth control. it will now be free. a surprising new lead in the d.b. cooper case, the famous hijacker from the '70s who jumped out of plane with $200,000 ransom and just disappeared. now let's get back to you with the latest on the debt deal. we are here in washington. senate and the house are set to compromise on a plan to raise the nation's borrowing limit. nancy cordes is on the hill to

tell us exactly what is in that deal. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, erica. welcome to washington. that plan creates a very powerful bipartisan committee of lawmakers who will now have a few months to come up with a package of $1.5 trillion worth of deficit reduction. they will then send that package to congress for an up or down vote. if congress votes no, then very harsh across the board spending cuts would be imposed. that's something nobody wants. republican leader mitch mcconnell gave a thumb's up as he head ed to the senate floor o join democratic leader harry reid and announce they had a deal. >> i know this agreement won't make every republican happy. it certainly won't make every democrat happy either. >> republicans won't be happy that the debt ceiling is going to get raised to get the government all the way through the end of 2012 as the president wanted. democrats won't be happy that the plan calls for up to $3 trillion of deficit reduction without a guarantee that any of it will come from new tax

revenues. the white house bid to raise taxes has been shut down. speaker john boehner told house republicans in an evening conference call. his democratic counterpart, nancy pelosi pointedly declined to discuss the package as she left sunday night. >> we'll have to take a look. all of us may be able to support it, or none of us may be able to support it. we'll have to look and see. we're open to what comes down because, again, the stakes are very high. >> the leaders of two very powerful coalitions of house democrats have already come out against this plan. they don't like the fact that there's no guarantee of tax revenue increases in this deal. the leader of the congressional black caucus, erica, calls it a sugar-coated satan sandwich. >> not mincing words with that one. nancy cordes on capitol hill this morning. thanks. as president obama announced the deal last night, he admitted

he has given up a lot, a lot more than he has planning on, to reach this point. >> now, is this the deal i would have preferred? no. but this compromise does make a serious down payment on the deficit reduction we need and gives each party a strong incentive to get a balanced plan done before the end of the year. >> joining us this morning with more from the white house, cbs news chief white house correspondent, norah o'donnell. good morning to you. is the president happy or content with this deal or is it really more of a sense of relief that we could be nearing the end of this debacle? >> reporter: there was a collective sigh of relief when all the appears signed off on this framework. president obama appeared about 8:40 pm, much later than anybody thought. they thought they would get it done yesterday afternoon. the president hailed this package as a significant down payment on deficit reduction, something that lifts the cloud

over the economy. he did get that extension of the debt ceiling all the way through 2012 in his re-election campaign, but he did have to give up a lot. remember, he talked about shared sacrifice, having deep spending cuts and some tax revenues? he railed against millionaires, billionaires, saying he would end subsidies to companies and to corporate jet owners. that is not in this deal. but there is going to be that superpowerful joint committee up in congress that has to address entitlement reform and tax reform. they've got to report by thanksgiving. they have to vote by christmas. and so that's one thing that the white house says is a good move forward. i want to point out, too, erica, the role of the vice president, joe biden, in this whole thing, he drew on his relationships up on capitol hill. avis senator for more than three decades. mitch mcconnell, who then sold it to speaker boehner, played a very key role.

now the hard part. they've agreed to the framework and they've got to sell this thing to republicans and democrats because of the votes expected later today. erica? >> norah o'donnell at the white house. thanks. also from the white house this morning is david plouffe, senior white house adviser. i imagine you're tired this morning. so, we appreciate it. >> of course, erica. good morning to you. >> as we look at what's gone on now and how contentious it's been in public, give us an idea. to get to this point, how contentious were the negotiations? >> these were tough negotiations. you know, for a while there, the president asked the country last week to lift up their voices and contact congress and demand compromise. finally in the closinge ining h here, we saw them compromising to get a good result, that reduces about $1 trillion. this fall, congress will work on things like tax reform, entitlement reform to get additional deficit reduction.

most importantly, this will lifted over our economy. one of the big battles was many republicans in congress wanted this to continue again in five or six months that we would have this debate all over again. anybody who has been watching your program or others would say that would be a bad idea for the country and our economy. >> you mentioned the leaders coming together and the fact that there is this deal on the table now. let's be honest, the leaders haven't necessarily been the problem. the problem here are the rank and file members of both parties. are you confident this will, in fact, pass -- not a lot of concern about the senate, but specifically in the house? >> on balance, this is something we're going to make the strong case should be passed. one, it does give significant reduction on the front end. two, it holds out the process f -- promise for a lot more done this fall. significant debt reduction in a careful way so that half of those additional savings come from defense and programs like medicare beneficiaries, medicaid, children's health care will be protected. >> the held lines are not all kind this morning.

front page of usa today talks about the political damage done to the president. diminished, surrendered, capitulation and his latest approval rating at 40%. how much damage has this done to the president and his political capital? >> worry ne're not concerned aby of that. we're concerned that the united states didn't default for the first time and signing a package that we thought wouldn't harm the economy in the short run. living within our means, reducing deficit is an important part of how we're going to grow the economy, going forward. there's a lot more we need to do. the debate in washington, i think, has been really confined to this in the past couple of weeks. as the president said last night, it's been messy. i think the american people, obviously, would like more compromise and a little less shouting. that's the leadership the president tried to bring. hopefully, moving forward here, our leaders in congress, particularly in the republican party, will learn that this can't be my way or the highway, that any agreement in divided

government will have to be based on compromise. >> thanks for your time this morning. >> thanks, erica. we'll get some reaction from the other side now this morning. joining me in the studio is republican senator john mccain from arizona. so nice to have you with us. >> thank you. >> getting here, as we know, has been probably ugly, to put it mildly. the american people feel that way. you took some members of your own party to task, saying that they were being unfair with some of their demands. how bad was it getting here? >> i think it was very bad. i think the overwhelming majority of us realized that we were not going to let the government shut down. the markets were telling us, the american people were telling us that some of us who have been around long enough to remember what happened in 1995. i was always kind of optimistic. let me point out, it was about two to three weeks ago that senator mcconnell came forward with a proposal, as you may know, that was the option.

that seems to be pretty much the framework for the agreement that they've arrived at. i think senator mcconnell, who is a very astute politician, understands very well how congress works. rather than me saying who won and who lost and who -- there will be plenty of time for that. the important thing for us is to go ahead and get this thing done. it does have significant advantages to reducing the deficit more than we are raising the debt limit. no tax increases was important to us. >> are you concerned about spending? >> i am very concerned. listen, i am very concerned about the defense spending side of it. i wouldn't have put that in there. i probably will have to swallow hard. i also believe that it won't come to that, in that i believe that this select committee -- they'll come up with pretty good and viable solutions. i'm convinced. both sides will put their best

people on it, and people with credibility, whatever they come up with. the key to it is, as opposed to every other commission, as you know, erica, it is a required up and/or down vote. the simpson commission, whether it was good or bad, never got a vote. the requirement to have a vote, up or down vote is critical. >> this has given such a glimpse of how washington works currently to the american people. they're not happy with it, as you know. i know you're not happy with it. if there was something on the table two to three weeks ago that we almost end up getting, why do we have to wait till the eleventh hour? >> that's how democracy works. it seems to be that we wait till the deadline to get an agreement reached. i have fought against spending, i have fought against the bush tax, i voted against the bush tax cuts. i voted against medicare part d,

all of these programs. but at the same time, you cannot say that we're going to pass a balanced budget amendment to the constitution when there's not 20 democrat votes in the united states senate. that's what i was talking about. it's unreal to tell the american people that you're going to pass a balanced budget amendment as the senate is presently constituted. but we do need to have a balanced budget amendment. >> that can be your next bill to tackle. senator, thanks for being here this morning. >> thank you. now here's chris in new york. >> thanks, erica. business and economic news correspondent rebecca jarvis joins me now. good morning. >> good morning. >> responded favorably on the news last night. what does that mean here at home? >> global market as well as futures, exactly what trades outside the open markets, those are called futures. they started trending up on news

of that deal and really on hope that is the deal would take place. things are pointing higher. there is still great uncertainty out there. >> 500 points lost in the market here in the states last week alone. >> yeah. >> assuming this deal does go through, does that mean stocks are in the clear? >> it doesn't, chris. the reality is that when we came to this debt swaying, we were already dealing with a problem in the u.s. economy. that problem is that, overall, things have not been looking good. we talked about it from the jobs market, housing market. the cost of borrowing looks like it's rising. gdp, gross domestic product, is still not where it should be. we have very sluggish growth, up 1.3% in the beginning of the year. consumers, we as consumers, our spending is very week. that needs to be stronger. we power 70% of the economy with our spending. >> this has affected the value of the dollar. >> the dollar has been crushed, really. over the last year, it was down 20%. consumers are spending more at the pump as a result of that.

>> rebecca jarvis, good to see you this morning. jeff glor is off this morning. >> hsbc announced this morning it's slashing jobs. they'll get rid of 30,000 of its workers worldwide. the company wants to focus on investing and fast-growing companies like mexico and turkey. 10% of its workforce. this morning, hsbc reported a 3% increase in pretax profits to $11.5 billion in the first six months of 2011. and as part of its realignment, the bank will sell 195 of its 470 branches in the u.s. in syria, government forces crack down on the city of hama for the second straight day. witnesses say at least four civilians were killed. anti-government activists say at least 70 people were killed sunday in hama, one of the bloodiest days against president bashar al assad. the first

>> thanks so much. that's your latest weather. over to chris. good morning. >> marysol, good morning to you. thank you very much. to an update on one of the greatest mysteries of the 1970. hijacker d.b. cooper jumped out of a plane and never seen again. cbs justice correspond enbob orr reports from washington. >> the fbi checking out a new lead in the baffling disappearance of the dare devil d.b. cooper. america's case is not closed on the skyjacking. >> the fbi is looking for hill. >> reporter: 40 years later the fbi is still searching. over the years 1,000 suspects have been scrutinized and several phony deathbed confessions. it began in 1971 with a passenger calling himself dan

cooper threatening to blow up the airplane. >> he made me feel very sure that we had a very real and horrifying threat. >> reporter: he escaped somewhere over washington state, both cooper and a ransom of $200,000 in cash, par suited into history, seemingly vanished into thin air. no one knows if the hijacker survived, not sure of his real name. some believe d.b. cooper was inspired by comic hero dan cooper who parachuted from airplanes. a credible source points to a possible new suspect, item obtained from that suspect is being tested for fingerprints by the fbi lab. the author jeffrey grabo says that might prove difficult. >> when this case happened in the 1970s the irabu of dna was not upon us and agents didn't look out to preserve this evidence in the way that we do now. >> reporter: still this may be the best clue since 1980, when an 8-year-old boy in washington

state discovered nearly $6,000 in cash during a family picnic. >> my son ran up and said wait a minute, daddy, so he raked a place out in the sand there, and there it was. >> reporter: the serial numbers matched those of the ransom money. we may never know what happened to d.b. cooper or who he really is but the allure of the unsolved mystery endures. fbi sources say while this new lead shows some promise, it's still a long shot to be sure. there's no sense here this is the big break we've been waiting for. >> cbs's bob orr in washington thank you. when we come back historic new guidelines covering birth control for women. we'll be right back. this is "the early show" on cbs. k9 advantix ii.

erica hill. erica is in washington this morning. coming up, the polygamist sex trial against warren jeffs. coming up he interrupted for 55 minutes saying his trial was at sta stake. first the government announces historic women's new health guidelines. the department of human and human services is requiring birth control for the first time ever. here's michelle miller. >> reporter: for the tens of millions of american women who use contraception, birth control will essentially be free because of new government guidelines requiring insurance companies to not only cover the cost but eliminate copays and dedubtibles, welcome news to the women we spoke to. >> sometimes $20 a month can definitely be hard to scrape together. >> it is very, very expensive and i think that that's one of

the problems especially for younger women who really can't afford it. >> reporter: birth control has been controversial in the united states from the moment margaret sanger opened up the country's first family plannic country in 1916 and promptly sent to prison for it. while many of hailed contraception is the best way to prevent unwanted pregnancy, others argue abstinence is the way to go. the united states conference of catholic bishops oppose the guidelines saying pregnancy is not a disease and fertility is not a pathological condition to be suppressed by any means technically possible. but women's rights advocates say free access to birth control can significantly reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies. >> the number of children we have determines how many we need to educate, how many we can employ. the social and economic outcomes of contraception are critical. >> reporter: the new rules would affect insurance plans beginning august 2012. michelle miller, cbs news, new

york. >> joining us from the white house is stephanie cutter, deputy senior adviser to president obama. >> reporter: good morning. >> what are the preventative services included on this list? >> well today is an important step forward for women's health. as a result of the affordable care act, the new health reform law insurance companies have to provide preventative care with no out-of-pocket costs. there was never any guidelines for women's health to make sure they stay healthy throughout the course of their lives. today, that's no longer the case. we do have a set of recommended preventative services for women. there are things covered like treatment for gestational diabetes to keep mothers and their children healthy, well woman visits to treat women for the things unique about their health needs and of course contraception which was part of your piece just a second ago. there are -- go ahead. >> about contraception, there are groups that don't agree with contraception being advocated by

the government. why do you believe that, what do you say to those who believe abstinence is the best preventative measure? >> this isn't about abstinence, this is not about preventing unwanted pregnancies. this is about women's health. there are known benefits based on the science, based on the experts, based on the independent studies of the institute of medicine that keep women healthy, if you lower the cost of contraceptive services. these are fda approved contraceptive services. it helps with keeping women healthy, it helps with lowering the rates of low birth weight, lowering premature births and helping women with chronic conditions have children in a healthy way. >> why did the administration find it crucial to have a list like this with women's health care needs at this point? >> well according to the law we were charged with developing a set of recommended preventative services. a year ago the department of health and human services directed the independent

institute of medicine to help us develop those recommended services and today they go into effect one year from today insurance companies private insurance companies have to provide the services with no out-of-pocket costs. many of the benefits we're announcing today are already part of large care employer plans and part of federal health care benefits. members of congress have the

works in texas at the trial of warren jeffs. the judge threatened to remove him if he acts the way he did friday when he fired his lawyers. elaine key has know has this report. >> reporter: warren jeffs has always claimed to be a minister of god and on friday he turned the texas courtroom into his own place of worship as he delivered a 55-minute of tirade chastising those who prosecuted of him. he threatened "i will send a scourge upon the counties of prosecu prosecutetoryial zeal." >> he wanted an occasion to give a sermon. >> reporter: the head of the fundamentalist church of latter day saints was convicted but later overturned. prosecutors will present audiotapes where he can be heard

raping an underaged girl. >> religion is not on trial here. you can have a religion but that doesn't entitle you to rape a 12 or 13 years old. >> reporter: after friday's outburst, the judge adjourned court and advised jeffs to speak with his fired lawyers about proper court decorum. if jeffs is found guilty, he faces life in prison. elaine key has know, cbs news, new york. >> joining us is elissa wahl, good morning. >> good morning. you know warren jeffs. what do you make of his behavior, threatening god bringing sickness and death. >> honestly i couldn't expect anything less. warren jeffs has never had to rationalize his behavior and grown up his entire life being able to display this erratic

narcisistic behavior, not having any consequences to it and the judge holding him to a line will be good for hill. this is expected behavior, this is kind of his last stand and last show and he has an entire people he has to prove a point to and that's definitely what's going on. >> in court he defended polygamy no, surprise there. as a former member who suffered abuse, your thoughts hearing him defend his actions? >> warren has always used a religion as his defense, whatever he chose to do or force people to do. no matter how he destroyed families or destroyed people's lives, he always excused it with this is the word of god, this is the will of god. i really think that in part of warren he believes that he is an extension of god, and god on this earth. >> does he, do you think he understands, though, the seriousness of these charges? he's accused of sexually abusing a 12 and 15 years old. do you think that message has gotten through to him? >> honestly i don't know what

goes on inside his head. i have to believe that he, it would, at some point he would have a reality check and he would understand the magnitude of what he is accused of, and honestly at this point, maybe that is what's going on and now he is just wanting to become that martyr. he would often make himself akin to that of joseph smith. he is going down in a blaze of glory. >> did you think he would do something as drastic as this, firing his legal team? it's the seventh legal team he fired but then to defend his own case? >> it was a little shocking to me but i've become pretty used to his irrational behavior and he often said even when he fired his attorneys in court he did say to the judge that he wanted to put on a pure defense and that made absolute sense to me. i expected something like that from him.

the government was worried if u.s. debt holdings would go belly up. >> all they ever care about will the u.s. eventually repay the debt. i don't think anyone doubts the u.s. will. i think this is for domestic political reasons more than it is for real concerns about the value of their portfolio. >> reporter: china's state-controlled media is using the debt crisis as an opportunity to highlight pitfalls with the u.s. democratic system in which high stakes political battles can take the global economy hostage. >> celia hatten, thanks. just ahead the new world of teen breakups. >> how many of you have been broken up or broken up with somebody on text message? everybody, okay. >> talk about a new trend. look at a new nationwide effort to make breakups better and safer here on "the early show." . means real fruit smoothies from mccafé.

top top of the hour here as we welcome you back to "early show." beautiful picture of washington, d.c. this morning. i'm erica hill here in washington. chris wragge is in new york this morning. that shot and our presence here, of course, because there's a deal to cut trillions and raise spending to raise the debt ceiling. plenty of members don't like it at all. just ahead we'll ask steny hoyer if he is on board with this new plan and also ask him how many democrats he thinks he can get to vote for it. so that's ahead, chris. good morning again. >> good morning to you once again. also ahead in this high tech world teen breakups can be messy and public with threatening text messages or online posting could

potentially lead to violence. we've got advice for parents and teens in how to end a romance in a safe and healthy way. a big win in turner field where this 10-year-old girl took a break from her second round of cancer treatment to sing "the star-spangled banner" at the game. the reaction there was overwhelming. we'll have the full story. but first back to erica in washington. that's a great story. can't wait for it. >> a great one to focus on this morning. we do have to get to some of the news on the debt. as we've been telling you, president obama announced last night congressional leaders have agreed on emergency legislation to cut spending and to raise the nation's debt limit. they're still under pressure to pass that bill and to have it signed by tomorrow. the debt ceiling deadline. cbs news correspondent nancy cord says live on capitol hill for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. there's a little bit in this plan for everybody to like and there's a lot for everyone to dislike as well. the president gets that big increase in the debt creeiling

that he was looking for through the end of 2012. it will happen in different stages but those are formalities. the republicans get the deficit reductions that they were looking for. about a trillion dollars now. and then this new bipartisan committee. six republicans, six democrats will be created to find about $1.5 trillion more in cuts. these people immediately become some of the most powerful people in washington. the pack ang they sent to congress will be put for an up or down vote, if congress votes no, across-the-board spending cuts will be to entitlements. and that's an outcome that everyone will try to avoid. >> i think the important thing for us is to go ahead and get this thing done. it does have significant advantages to reducing the deficit more than we are raising the debt limit. no tax increases was important to us. >> reporter: right now, it appears that the group that is most upset about this deal, as

i'm sure you'll hear from mr. hoyer in a moment, is the house democrats, many of whom feel that the president moved too far to the right honor this deal, that there's no guarantee of tax increases to balance out the spending cuts. that's why we see the senate first vote on this bill to try to create momentum as it moves to the house in time for the deadline of tomorrow night. >> nancy cordes on capitol hill, thanks. joining us now the number two democrat in the house, minority whip, steny hoyer. as we just heard from nancy, house democrats seem to be -- not all of them, of course, but the more vocal about being unhappy with it. "this is a, quote, sugar-coated satan sandwich." >> look, first of all, debt default is not an option. we all understand that. now, the sad news is that we're so late getting to an agreement. and the other sad news is we've

missed a wonderful opportunity to make what john boehner said he wanted, nancy pelosi, harry reid, the big deal. the president said he wanted that. consistent with the bowles-simpson or domen ishii rivlin. it ought to be balanced between spending cuts and revenues. we haven't done that. so yes, there are things to be unhappy about this agreement. on the other hand, it does avoid default. i think that's critical for the american people. and by the way, that's not something the president gets. that's something america gets. it also protects social security. it minimizes risks to medicare which were important to us. it does not include revenues the six and six that are appointed. frankly, it's going to really require those six to have balanced judgments. if they go into it with just my way or no way, then we're not going to get an agreement and

we'll have the quester that's provided. >> what makes you think that this time around it's going to work based on what we've seen the last couple of months and the last couple of weeks from everybody here in washington. the american people are fed up, to say the least, with this behavior. >> i'm fed up with this behavior. i share the american people's view that my way or no way approach to negotiations is not what washington needs, and it's not what the american people want. on the other hand, again, i stress this is an approach that does seem to provide a way forward to avoid default. i think that's critical for our economy and critical for the american people. >> does this also offer a new way forward when it comes to the way business is done in washington and because of the way this curtain is drawn back, because it has become so contentious, will it change anything in the way it is done and how much lawmakers are willing to give. >> i don't have much confidence

that it's changing the way things are done. what we have is a minority that has controlled this process. minority in the united states senate would not agree to compromises that were not to their liking. that is not true. harry reid offered a plan which was consistent with speaker boehner's one for one -- and by the way, the debt limit that's being increased is to pay the bills that were incurred over the last decades by republicans and, yes, by democrats. >> i want to get you back to the first question, though, i asked you about, support in the house. pretty much everybody thinks that it will pass the senate in the house. are you confident that you can help deliver the votes on the democratic side? >> we're at a point in time where this bill was put out at 2:00 a.m. this morning. members have not had the opportunity to review it. we've not had an opportunity to meet with our caucus yet. i talked to leader pelosi last night. we'll be meeting with our caucus today. we want to talk to them, find

out what they believe. all of them to a person believe that default is not an option, which is why this is such a tough decision. but we've missed an opportunity. this is not a balanced approach, revenues need to be on the table and we haven't gotten that. >> we'll be watching to see what happens. thanks for coming in. >> thank you, erica. now here's terrell brown sitting in nor jeff glor. >> this morning, france says that it and other members of the european union are presenting new sanctions against syria in response to its crackdown on anti-government protesters. the witnesses say at least four people were killed this morning in hama. syrian forces stormed the city on sunday. pro democracy activists say 70 people were killed. 25 people were found dead on a ship packed with illegal african immigrants. the ship was a few miles off the small island of lampedusa.

it left libya about two days ago. here at home a desperate plea from the father of missing new hampshire girl celina cass. the 11-year-old disappeared a week ago today. she was last seen in her bedroom playing on her computer. divers searched a pond. for the first time her father made a public statement asking for her return. >> whenever you're ready to come home, selena, daddy will be waiting for you. a mississippi man, billy joe maddon was arrested for letting his 8-year-old son drive a pickup truck down a highway. he was asleep in the passenger seat. his 4-year-old daughter was in the back seat. amy winehouse was said to be planning to adopt, all this before her sudden death last week. the "sunday mirror" said that winehouse was in the process of secretly adopting a 10-year-old

girl from the island of st. lucia in the caribbean. what if your state ran out of money and its courts were practically paralyzed? we'll take you to one state where that's already happening. where divorces, lawsuits and entire lives are trapped in an overtaxed court system. the story this week on t

we know that that's really the most effective and best way to have a conversation about what it is. you get the nonverbal cues and you can really understand how people are feeling. >> doing it over the phone is bad. and they're not even doing that. what advice would we have for kids, first and foremost, do not take your cues from reality television. >> exactly. >> is it, go to your parents? >> it's a combination of two things. we want them to go to trusted adults. but the trusted adults aren't going to come back at them and punish them for something they might have done. the adults in these kids' lives need to start a dialogue early. the teens need to think about, who can i go to if it's not my mom and dad? who's someone older than my friend that can give me different information and help me figure out something different. >> bothersome. >> it's really scary. and it's happening more and more. these kids aren't learning how to have any healthy relationship. the great thing about start strong, is they're teaching kids

"i found out that millions of people don't live to see their 5th birthday because they don't have access to clean safe water so i'm celebrating my birthday to celebrate those with no water." five weeks later she was killed in an accident. one of the children survived but

rachel died after being taken off days later. hundreds gathered for a memorial service at rachel last week. >> her heart was bigger than this room and always gave whatever she had and would continue to give more. >> reporter: her story didn't end there. she fell short of her original fund-raising goal of $80. thousands honored her memory giving to her cause charity water. so far about three-quarters of a million dollars has been raised as strangers have been touched by her selflessness. >> rachel was a special girl. she has the ability to reach from the grave and still impact our lives on a daily basis. >> reporter: already the largest fund-raising campaign in charity waters' history. hattie kauffmann, cbs news, seattle. >> joining us now meeting for the first time are scott harrison, founder and ceo of

charity water and rachel beckwith's mother, samantha paul. sorry to bring you here under the circumstances. our hearts go out to you, our condolences. your daughter what a special young lady, only 9 years with us, but when did you know that she had such a big heart and on her birthday rather than get gifts like any normal 9-year-old basically wanted to do this charity work? >> i've always known that she has had an amazing spirit and been a very special girl but last year our church started a campaign of its own with charity water and they talked about it in the children's ministry and she was enthusiastic about it from the very beginning, so she did say that next year for her birthday she wanted to give up her birthday just like scott had done. a few months ago her birthday was coming up and i reminded her about it and she jumped right at the chance and could not wait to

raise money. >> she wanted to raise $300, came up just a little bit short, $220, and now sadly on the heels of the tragedy raised three-quarters of a million dollars. can you believe the impact this little girl had worldwide with the effort? >> it's like to say it's amazing, and i'm grateful is an understatement. i'm just blown away by the overwhelming love and support and the response we've gotten from it. it's just it's overwhelming. i just am so happy. >> a tremendous legacy for her to live on. scott, rachel wanted to meet lady ga ga and you. >> i would have been easier. normally what woulds go $300 do. >> 15 people. >> how much is $300,000? >> over 35,000 people. i was trying to, thinking that

through last night, how to convey that. it's madison square garden almost two times full capacity. having just gotten back from africa last week it's hard to convey the significance of that. i mean the lives being transformed through this little girl's unselfishness. >> what was it about the charity that inspired rachel? >> it's simple, for a child to understand that there are children around the world that don't have something so basic, clean water to drink, and that there are solutions something can be done about it. >> you two are meeting for the first time here today. >> yes. >> are two of you going to work together? do you make sure -- >> oh, yes. >> to make sure rachel's legacy does continue? >> i can't wait to bring samantha to africa to meet so many of the people that are going to be served and we've already got a trip planned village to village and just to let you hear in their own

stories of the women and the children. i think it will be incredible experience. >> oh, wow. >> how proud are you of what she did? >> words, i can't even describe how proud i am. you know, i have always been so unbelievably proud of her for all the choices she's made throughout her life. i'm just glad that everyone else can share in the rachel experience now. >> we hope the people around the world continue to add money to the till and we thank you both for being here. we know these are tough circumstances and our hearts go out to you and we appreciate you speaking with us. >> thank you. >> scott, samantha, thank you both. let's go back out to erica in washington. >> chris, thanks. during the seemingly endless debt debate on capitol hill we mostly saw men trying to hammer out a deal. got us to thinking would things have been handle the out differently if more women had been involved? joining us now an esteemed panel

of women, norah o'donnell and nancy cordes, our first chance to welcome you. >> thank you. >> this is a great topic for us, not just because we're women of course, stating the obvious but in all honesty, nancy, being up there on the hill, how many women were involved in this negotiating? >> there was really just one woman, that was house minority woman nancy pelosi and she was, to some degree marginalized in the negotiations. in the past especially when she was speaker, democrats had the majority in the house, she had a very powerful role but in this role it was really the republicans negotiating with the president. she and harry reid were sort of on the sidelines, in fact it looked like in the final days they were kind of left out of these negotiations all together until the final hour. >> norah behind the scenes, there were so many men that craft the legislation. are there more women behind the scenes? >> there are not. there are a lot of white house

officials who are involved with congressional staffers, that put a lot of these deals and details together negotiated. it is largely men and my own view is that, look, i think that the american public is so fed up with washington and congress because they feel like washington and congress doesn't represent them and it is true that congress does not have the right type of representation of females. there are less than 17% of congress made up of women. that is not reflective of the public at large and in this last election, the 2010 midterms the number of women in congress went down for the first time in a generation, so there are less women serving in congress, and so i think there's a question, does congress reflect me, does congress reflect america? does it look like america and the answer is no. >> no, go ahead. >> and the women who are there are very cognizant of the fact they're playing on a men's playing field, the way that they conduct themselves in congress to some degree is based on the fact that they know they have to deal with men and not with other women. >> we do want to bring in because we don't want to make

this seem too one-sided, we're jumping on men for not doing their job well. bill plante is here. there is good evidence of women behaving well and playing nicely, bipartisan lunches that i've been told about that happen here with female lawmakers. is that something that happens at all with the male lawmakers? >> reporter: it used to before members of congress traveled all the time and before things got so bitterly partisan, members would sit around after hours, go to dinner, play cards, got to know one another. then that sort of attitude of that not enough that i win, my enemies must lose, that sort of drops back. it's the interaction which dee females, i'll concede are better at than most men. too much testosterone is toxic. okay, that said, you know -- >> bill said it, we should point out bill said that. >> let me give you a perfect

example of that. senate majority leader harry reid spent the final two days before the deal was struck complaining again and again on the senate floor that the minority leader, mitch mcconnell wouldn't negotiate with him and wouldn't talk to him and why wouldn't he talk to him? mcconnell's office is 20 feet away. if you want to talk to him, just cross the hall and talk to him. i don't think that you would see women in that situation. they just walk in and get it done. >> the president and speaker boehner, their relationship, which is they were going to negotiate this grand bargain that included not just spending cuts, but revenues, and then it broke down when the president tried to reach speaker boehner several times and couldn't get his phone calls returned because there had been this huge breach of trust so they stopped talking to one another so i think that's something to look at closely and as bill mentioned this bipartisan group of what it is senators, the 17 female senators have for a long time met once a month, where they go to dinner or lunch and get together and

talk about things, that's an opportunity to talk about compromise and things that can affect the american people. >> hopefully all of the men are watching and taking a lenson. i have to leave it there or i'll get in big trouble from the men in control room because we will have taken up too much time. bill thaez for playing along especially. chris over to you. >> are you sure that's it, no more? just kidding, just kidding. this weekend's box office figures had a surprise at number one "the smurfs" tied with "cowboys and aliens" pulling in $36 million. last week's "captain america" dropped to number three "harry potter and the deathly hallows" topped at number four. "crazy stupid love" rounded out number five. i saw it yesterday, loved it. $36.2 million, down to hundreds of thousands. why did "cowboys and aliens"

underperform? >> it did not get the important teenage boys. 60% of the audience was over 30? who wants guys like that? you want the teen eyeballs and also had a hard time tracking with women. this was a real guy-heavy movie, daniel craig and harrison ford, huge action stars and kind of looked more like an action movie when you saw the trailers and the commercials. >> i didn't know what to expect. "the smurfs" the reviews were terrible but from a box office standpoint pretty well. >> it was a big surprise. you have the nostalgia factor. people who grew up in the '80s know "the smurfs" the parents know all of them so it felt safe to take the kids and over 65% of the audience turned out to be parents with their kids. so everyone understands "the smurfs" and loves neil patrick, he can do no wrong so that's why you see this movie come out on top which is very surprising. >> let's talk about movie stars for a second. julia roberts and tom hanks

flopped in "larry crowne" and jim carrey flopped in "mr. poppers penguins." are we moving away from we need a big star to carry a film? >> movies need movie stars but also in the right movie. the concept needs to be key and the concept with "cowboys and aliens" was a little bit fuzzy. "bridesmaids" didn't have huge movie stars but its concept was crystal clear, looking at the title and looking at the poster and commercials. >> "the hangover 2" ensemble casts. >> thank you. 30 years of mtv, coming up next. ♪ video killed the radio storm >> starting with the very first video, changed the music and ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

mtv turns 30 today.

we asked some people who have been involved since the beginning to tell us why it became such a mover and a shaker. ♪ ♪ video killed the radio storm >> video didn't kill the radio storm. mtv made radio bigger and better. >> it was the first national radio station. before mtv chances are you didn't know what a major star looked like. madison square garden they were little ants on the stage. >> where would the world have seen the duran, dur ans, bon jovis, guns n roses, christina aguillera, madonna. >> mtv changed the visual language. >> what you looked like when you were singing was just as or more important than what you sounded like. >> the two video stars that

emerged were madonna and michael jackson. ♪ like a virgin touched for the very first time ♪ >> voice was okay but it was her pushing use of video in conjunction with music that really made madonna. ♪ people always told me be careful what you ♪ >> michael on mtv became this boundary crosser, this smasher of all sorts of not just boundaries but then records. ♪ cause this is thriller, thriller night ♪ >> 27 million copies of "thriller" that's like one for everyone in the universe, isn't it it. ♪ once upon a time not long ago ♪ >> flash forward to 198. ♪ parents don't understand. >> helping hip-hop take over america and the world. ♪ yo >> "yo selectman ! mtv raps" wih

fab five freddie. >> the irabu of teen pop with britney spaer. >> jeff carson. >> one of the things i want to do with trl, give the power to the kids and let them choose. mtv generation is really about me, not in a selfish way but in an empowering way. >> i think mtv understood that they needed to make youth empowerment a core part of their brand. >> boxes or briefs? >> usually briefs. >> here comes bill clinton recognizing there's a group of young voters out there and here is a way of reaching them. >> this is the true story. >> mtv created the reality tv format. >> they're very secretive about what the "real world" was.

they gave us keys and said show up at this door at this time and it will start. >> once the network television outlet started to copy mtv's format and started using controversy, is enationsationalism and voyeurism as a strategy, "the real world" deinvolved. >> all of the sudden mtv becomes wall-to-wall reality television until we're left with "the jersey shore." >> mtv paved the way for a different way of understanding television and that's been positive and negative. >> i don't like you. >> i want my mtv. >> still one of the most important iconic brands in culture, not just here in the states but worldwide. they're not going anywhere. >> 30 years of mtv and erica my vote is let's go back to the early days. >> bring back the music videos.

we'll see if we can do that. we want to get a special thank you to joans day for,,,,,,
