comments@captioncolorado.com .. hold on. one day after the worst low since the 2008 meltdown, stocks open sharply higher on wall street this morning after better than expected news on jobs. still, a new poll out shows americans are angry and fearful over the economy. we have the latest for you from wall street and overseas. warren jeffs convicted of assaulting two young girls he took as wives. we will talk to a former member who escaped from his sect. hurricane season has already been the most expense sieve year for weather disasters in decades. now marysol castro takes a look
7:01 am
at how worse it could get "early" this friday morning, august 5th, 2011. captioning funded by cbs good morning to you on this friday. 7:00 a.m. on the west coast. i'm erica hill. >>ism jeff glor in for chris wragge this morning. it's a tense day for the financial markets. >> but for so many americans as well as we watch this and people wondering what is going to happen. this morning, there is actually a little bit of hope which is nice to report. a little bit of hope for the battered financial markets around world and comes from this morning's unemployment report. the labor department says 117,thousand jobs added in july and much more than in the previous two months. the unemployment rate fell to 9.1%. >> that is welcome news for investors after a messy day yesterday. a big decline on wall street. it was ugly and scary. a sign of nervousness.
7:02 am
new poll out take a look at these numbers. also with our leaders in washington right now. >> not a lot of positivity in that one. we begin now with a series of reports on the economy and the markets. so we want to start at the new york stock exchange where alexis alexis christoforous is standing by. >> reporter: you could hear the sigh of relief after the jobs numbers came in. stocks rallied out of the gate. the dow opened higher along with a broader indices. the jobs number is good but not great. a sign the labor market is headed in the right direction. talk of a double dip recession may be premature. one trader says to say the market is happy with this unemployment report is probably pushing it. now, the addition of 117,000 jobs last month may be better
7:03 am
than expected. but to put this in perspective, we still need twice as many jobs each month to reduce the unemployment rate in any meaningful way. traders caution not to get too excited here. they say continued weakness in the u.s. economy and europe's deepening debt crisis will still plague wall street. >> alexis alexis christoforous on wall street, thanks. earlier this morning, markets plunged around the world reacting to yesterday's big losses on wall street. cbs news correspondent charlie d'agata is in london now with more on those overseas stocks. charlie, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. the positive news of more job creation in the united states had immediate impact on european markets but take more than that to recover $2.1 trillion wiped off world stocks this week. europe's biggest plunge for more than a year followed a free-fall across asian markets. japan's stocks tumbled 3.7% to
7:04 am
the lowest level since the country's devastating earthquake and tsunami. investors are scrambling soaked largely by fears that italy and spain are teetering on the brink of going broke. stockbrokers say it feels like 2008 only worse. >> it was a financial crisis that affected banks. the financial system around the world. this time, clearly, it's the entire countries that are being impacted. >> reporter: french president nichololas sarkozy hold emergen talks today with the german chancellor and spain's prime minister primarily what to do about italian and spanish debt. the trouble there is not much left in europe's cookie jar. >> charlie, thank you. we get to the other piece of this puzzle. that is the latest cbs news/"the new york times" poll shows how upset americans are with their leaders and the state of economy.
7:05 am
for that we turn to cbs news senior white house correspondent bill plante who is standing by with the numbers. >> reporter: upset is putting it mildly. this poll was taken just after the president and congress reached an agreement on the debt deal and shows historic levels of frustration with the government. 84% of the people in our survey are angry or dissatisfied about the way things are going in washington. 86% say the economy is in bad shape. and very few, like the people at an employment center in richmond, virginia think a spending deal will make it any better. >> i love my country and i love the president, but, right now, they just seem to be out of touch. >> reporter: disapproval of congress all-time high. only 14% like the job it's doing and 75% say most members don't deserve tor reelected. >> they are not living in the real world like we do.
7:06 am
i mean, they have things for themselves that we don't or can't get for ourselves. >> reporter: the public's verdict on the deal itself is split. but an overwhelming majority believes the debate was about scoring political points rather than doing what is best for the country. politico executive director jim vandehei. >> it's a bummer for people to think about cutting spending and getting fewer benefits. >> reporter: the president's job approval rating is at 48% but unless the employment picture improves he may have a hard time getting reelected. >> there is nothing happening out there that gives us any reason to hope. >> reporter: all of that debate about cutting spending made an impression. 44% of the people in our poll say that spending wasn't cut enough. but, at the same time, almost two-thirds say that creating jobs is more important to them than cutting government spending. erica? >> bill plante at the white
7:07 am
house this morning, thanks. so what is behind not only the turmoil in washington but the turmoil in the markets? some stay say the fear over debt and european economies and others point to the jobs situation in the u.s. say got a little better but still in rough shape. >> as bill pointed out that is the primary concern. before wall street opened this morning, we asked the university of california professor robert reich who is also labor secretary under president clinton what he was looking for in this morning's report. >> erica, people are scared, they are worried about their jobs and wages, they are worried about the state of the economy. if we have an unemployment report that does not come up with 125,000 new jobs at least and what you need just to accommodate the natural growth of the labor force, people are going to be even more scared because it means that we are actually treading water, going backwards. we are not advancing on this jobs situation. a lot of americans understand intuitively that when 70% of the
7:08 am
economy is consumers and consumers are workers and workers are not getting hired is there a vicious cycle going on in which people are scared they are not going to get jobs, they are going to lose their jobs and wages are going down so they are not spending and if they are not spending employers will not hire. >> mr. secretary, it's jeff glor. quite a few headlines bringing up the words double dip recession. is that fair? is that on the table at this point in time? >> i would have said last week or the week before, probably not. i think we are up to 50/50 in terms of probability. a lot of people thought that once the debt ceiling crisis was over, once there was no problem with regard to defaulting on the nation's debt, that everybody would breathe a sigh of relief, relief. but actually the opposite response. what has happened essentially is that many on wall street, many economic analysts, em peopmany understand fundamental the new budget deal has tied the hands of the government making it more
7:09 am
difficult for the government to respond to this crisis in aggregate demand. the fact people are not spending enough with additional boosts to the economy. >> so then based on the picture you paints, if the government's hands are more tied than ever and because we are a consumer-driven economy is there anything any lawmaker from any party could do to actually spur job growth? >> erica, i think what hopefully what is going to happen now is lawmakers are back in their districts, they are hearing from their constituents, their constituents are saying, look, jobs and economic growth and wane wages are far more important. the budget deficit is important over the long term but right now you need to take action to spur growth. for example, exempting the first 20,000 dollars of income from payroll taxes for two years or amending the bankruptcy laws so people can declare bankruptcy on their primary residence and have more bargaining leverage with
7:10 am
lenders or there are a lot of things that can be done, should be done but washington needs to get out of the mentality that it's all just about the budget deficit and really switch to the understanding that it really is all about jobs. >> and get rid of the understanding it's all of that politics, too. >> that won't happen, but we will see. former secretary labor secretary robert reich, thank you so much for your time this morning. we bring in now robebb farzad of "businessweek" for a closer report on what we just got. this is better than expected but i say that is the headline. the real meat of it may not be as positive? >> i saw a number actually somewhere in the footnotes. the share of the eligible population holding a job is at 58%, the lowest since 1983. that really shows you how coldly comforting this jobs report is this morning. yes, we were expecting the worst, but, ultimately, this job market has to create 11 million jobs just to get us back to where we were before the
7:11 am
recession. >> which will take years. >> at this place. i mean, as secretary reich said, if we are not creating 125,000 jobs which we only did 117,000 jobs we are not even growing with the population. >> where are the markets right now? down sharply yesterday and up a little bit this morning. are the markets still overpriced? >> no one is saying that the market is overpriced 37 the panic is what is going on overseas. are we going to see italy and spain tumble? because, you know, we are not an island unto ourselves any more. everybody here owns tall yeah and spanish debt. if they defaulted and the european bank doesn't have their act in or the it underscores people are not confident in their leaders. >> the confidence is so key to our economy. we talk about this often. this is a consumer-driven economy. 70% of the economy relies on us spending money. people don't feel comfortable spending money even if they have it right now. does the united states need to actually change the focus of the economy and is that something that is doable? >> is there going to have to be
7:12 am
creative thinking. i don't know what you end up doing. cut out gift cards to people to the olive garden and walmart? you have to be creative at this point and no political bandwinel for that in d.c. you saw they were at their throats last week on the debt ceiling. >> you also need to get housing back on track. in 15 seconds we have left. >> that is a whole other can of worms. housing come off a record high and that will take years. we have years of inventory to eat down. >> and real estate agents saying homes sitting there. >> thank you so much. >> terrell brown is standing by with a check of other headlines of the day. terrell, good morning. >> good morning to you, erica. the senate this morning is scheduled to pass a bill to end the partial shutdown of the faa and put 75,000 people back to work. the bipartisanship deal will

woods. >> away from the traditional wreck. >> black pants. atlantic hurricane season just starting. may actually be a little bit more active than originally thought. add that to this terrible season that we have seen for disaster so far and it's quite a combination. >> weather, markets, is anything going right this year? marysol castro is at miami beach keeping an eye on the weather. looks windy down there. good morning. >> good morning. >> reporter: we are entering the busiest time of the hurricane season, august. as you guys mentioned, the forecasters at noaa updated their outlook and continues to look busy. specked to be 7 to 10 hurricanes, three to five of them will be named. on average, the united states spends about $6 billion on weather disasters. now, we are just over the halfway point and we have already spent $32 billion and counting. >> oh, man! >> reporter: 2011 has seen
7:15 am
dozens of weather records shattered. the impact of those events is adding up up to another ominous milestone. this is the costliest year so far for weather damage in the united states since 1980 when the government began tracking those statistics. >> weather pattern that we are seeing this year is typical of what we are going to be seeing over the next several years. that is we are in an extreme weather pattern similar to what we were in the '30s, '40s and '50s. >> reporter: it started with the groundhog day storm that churned across the northern united states. chicago took the hardest hit. two feet of snow that brought the windy city to a standstill. total cost, $3.9 billion. next came the tornadoes. april marked the busiest month in u.s. history. 753 twisters that killed 361 people. alabama bore the brunt as ef-5 twister the strongest storm is
7:16 am
there is left a path of destruction and 78 people dead. total losses for april more than $16.2 billion. but mother nature saved the worst for last. on may 222nd, the single deadliest twister to strike the u.s. since 1950 decimated the city of joplin, missouri, 141 people lost their lives. the storm system continued for five days. total cost? $7 billion. then there was the flooding of the mississippi and missouri rivers which ruined homes and farmland throughout the nation's bread basket. total cost so far some $8 billion. and this summer's heat wave has turned drought ravaged texas and neighboring states into a cinder box.

7:32 am
taken as a wife. >> there was audiotapes. there was forensic evidence and dna evidence and his own admissions he had relationships with these girls and he had had these relationships based on his religion allowing him to do this. >> reporter: in 2008, police raided the texas compound of the fringe mormon sect led by jeffs who, according to prosecutors, had 78 celestial wives and 24 under 17 and several members convicted of ranging marriages of underaged children and jeffs was charged with two counts of sexual assault. >> only defense he tried to put forward was his religion allowed him under the law that a law he couldn't cite, to have relationships with 12 and 13 and 15-year-old girls. >> reporter: throughout the trial, jeffs displayed bizarre behavior. at one point, leaping up to offer an hour-long defense of polygamy and even threatening punishment from god if the trial were not stopped. on thursday, the jury took less
7:33 am
than four hours to return their guilty verdict. >> someone comes to this state and sexually assaults a 12-year-old and a 15-year-old, you're going to be found guilty. >> reporter: jeffs faces the possibility of life in prison. bill whitaker, cbs news, los angeles. joining us now is flora jess op who escaped from jeffs sect when she was just 16 years old. thank you for joining us. >> good to be here. >> i know you were relieved you said when you heard this verdict. i want to ask you about the behavior that jeffs exhibited during this trial, particularly him just standing there in front of the judge during closing arguments, just standing there for most of 30 minutes. does any of that surprise you? >> not at all. warren jeffs, that is the normal behavior for warren jeffs and, you know, he stood there in silence praying and i think that he thought that maybe he had convinced the jury that he
7:34 am
should be let go. the saying in the alds they used to tell us all the time, perfect obedience creates perfect peace. and so i think that he expected that jury to obey his commands and let him go. >> who takes over for him now? is there someone who does take over for him? >> there is. there is his brother is standing in the wings waiting to take up the reins and, you know, this is not a practice that is going to go away. i want the american people to understand that there are -- this is not the only polygamous group out there. and if we don't stand up and demand accountability from these groups, they then -- then it's building, it's growing, it's going to be moving into a neighborhood next to you. >> and when you talk about that accountability, flora, you think more people that prosecutors should be looking at, should be going after? >> absolutely. i go believe that the women need
7:35 am
to be prosecuted. >> the wives of warren jeffs? >> not only the wives, but the mothers of these children, the fathers of these children. they all need to be held accountable. the 12-year-old that was on the tape we listened to in that courtroom, her father is the one who performed the ceremony giving her to warren jeffs. >> flora, are the people who are inside these complex, are they aware of what is going on? are they aware of what has happened to warren now? >> you know, they probably have been told that, you know, that he is going to jail. but he has been in jail for five years. they also have been told that god is going to deliver him from jail. but that just kind of got shot out the window but they are still victims and they are still paying the price and still being abused and we need to remember that. >> flora jessop, appreciate your time this morning. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. terrell brown is over at the news desk with another look at your headlines.

"it was emotional." >> this is the place where science and technology meets the human spirit. >> reporter: the exhibit takes you back to the harrowing weeks that take place a year ago today but for those who lived it the road to recovery has been a challenge. reports have surfaced many of the miners are struggling to assimilate. some remain unemployed, some have taken low paying jobs to feed their families and some

8:33 am
apartment. and with great trepidation, because i heard that that flight was delayed more than any other flight in this area. >> actually, delta flight 2743 from newark to atlanta is the most delayed flight in the country. it's late 60% of the time. right behind it, delta's flight 2843, also to atlanta. delayed 50% of the time. each with a delay of more than an hour and 19 minutes. that came as no surprise to regular business traveler kurt valencia of daytona beach, florida. >> i take the 6:15. it's always late. >> other top offenders southwest flight 50 from dallas field to kansas city delayed 47% of the time. continental flight 2248 from memphis to newark and comair flight 6480 from chicago's o'hare to cincinnati. all have average delays of over an hour. experienced travelers say they may know some ways around the delay, but when it comes to
