story. >> or maybe it is still there. if it is still there though, where did the bat go? >> we will leave it up to that. and dow is down. more coming up on the "the early show." mogadishu. good morning. wall street starts the week with a dive as the s&p drops the nation's credit rating, sparking another debate on capitol hill. we'll look at the impact on you from mortgages, 401(k)s and bank accounts. on a rescue mission, 30 americans die in a helicopter crash in afghanistan. the deadliest incident in that ten-year war. we'll talk to a former member of s.e.a.l. team six on the impact on that unit. famine across the border in somalia. another day at the refugee camp. erica is there, at what's

becoming an international crisis. "early" this monday morning, crisis. "early" this monday morning, august 8th, 2011. captioning funded by cbs good morning. welcome to the "early show" here on a monday morning, 7:00 am on the west coast. i'm chris wragge. >> and i'm in for erica hill. she's in somalia and we'll hear from her in a few minutes. standard sbf poors, markets have already lost ground overseas and wall street is taking another dive this morning. joining us now from the new york stock exchange is alexis christoforous. where do we stand right now? >> stocks tanked, the dow was down 240 points in the first minute of trading. we've come back a little bit, the dow down 185 after stocks

dumped after this downgrade of u.s. debt. >> the next question on everybody's mind, double dip recession, how likely is it at this point? >> it's a resounding yes for a double dip recession. since july 26th, this market has lost over a trillion dollars in value. we've gotten clues that the economic slowdown is worsening. manufacturing is slowing down. consumer spending is pulling back. that slowdown could get even worse. one of the byproducts of this debt downgrade is higher interest rates. in this environment, higher rates are just about the last thing this fragile economy needs. >> alexis, investors have been pulling their money out of the market. where are they put iting it for safe keeping? >> chris, gold. gold continues to outshine every investment on wall street. investors are flocking to the safety of that precious medal. gold has passed $17 an ounce. that's a record. >> cbs' alexis christoforous for us on wall street. thank you. in washington now, reaction

to the credit rating downgrade is pretty much what would you would expect. republican and democrats busy blaming each other. cbs correspondent norah o'donnell has that part of the story for us this morning. >> reporter: good morning, chris. this week was when president obama was to turn his attention toward jobs with a positive message. instead, he's dealing with this talk of a double-dip recession, terrible week in the markets last week and that terrible downgrade. president obama turned to camp david sunday, leaving his fellow democrats to place blame on the downgrade of the credit rating squarely on tea party republicans. >> the fact of the matter is that this is essentially a tea party downgrade. >> i believe this is, without question, the tea party downgrade. >> i think this is a tea party problem. they're totally unreasonable. i think they've been smoking some of that, not just drinking it. >> reporter: not so fast says republican senator lindsey graham of south carolina, who also appeared on face the nation. he believes the downgrade showed a failure of leadership by

president obama. >> he has had a chance, we're three years into this. he's failing. it's not the tea party's fault. hope and change has turned to despair and confusion. >> reporter: one of the most contentious weeks washington has seen in years. on monday, a day before the federal government would have defaulted on its debts for the first time in history, president obama and congress finally agreed on a $2 trillion deal to raise the debt ceiling and lower the deficit. but the size of the deal and the messy process that led up to it weren't enough to stop credit ratings agency standard & poor's from issuing their downgrade and warning that there may be more to come. >> if the fiscal position of the united states deteriorates further or if the political gridlock becomes more entrenched, then that could lead to a downgrade. the outlook indicates at least a one in three chance.

>> reporter: there's some good news for the president. it was well known his secretary treasury, timothy geithner, wanted to leave his post. president obama gave the hard sell and now secretary geithner has agreed to stay through the 2012 election, which will provide some certainty during this great instability in the economy. chris? >> cbs' norah o'donnell at the white house for us this morning. thank you. now here's nancy. joining us now is democratic congressman barney frank of massachusetts, ranking member of the house financial services committee. good morning, congressman. >> good morning. >> standard & poor's says the lack of apparent willingness of elected officials as a group to deal with the medium term fiscal outlook as part of the reason to downgrade the credit rating. do you see this as the parties now working together? >> i would hope there would be one bipartisan agreement we could reach and i've been working for. there is one area in american

policy where we are doing things disproportionate to the rest of the world. i'm sorry. we don't give our older people more medical care. we don't have a better retirement. we don't spend more on the environment. where america is disproportionate is our extraordinary willingness to be the military policemen for the whole world. we spend far more of our national economy as a percentage on the military than just about any nation except the beleaguered nation of israel. spending over $120 billion a year in iraq and afghanistan. the time has come to find a place where we could, i think, together make some savings. that's going to be my mantra for the next few months. i've been working on it. i have some republican support. ron paul, leading conservative republican. >> the military spending is going to be one of the many things on the table with this bipartisan commission, very powerful new commission. >> yes. >> i would assume that there's going to be incredible pressure on this commission now to come up with $1.5 trillion worth of

deficit cuts. do you think if democrats appoint their six most liberal members and republicans appoint their six most conservative that this committee will get anything done? >> i'm skeptical. i was not a supporter of the idea. i will say this. there is one area where i hope we can get together on that. that is in the military, we are continuing to defend western europe. we started derchding western europe in 1948, 1949, when they were poor after world war ii. now, they're not poor. there's no more communist empire threatening them. the only thing that's changed is the tens of billions of american dollars going there. i am hoping that the military budget has always had this great momentum but an event like this should change our thinking. i don't want to cut older people's retirement. i don't want to tell an old lady on $19 a year at 78 that she doesn't get a cost of living. i don't want to make people doing physical labor for years

have to do it for a couple more years. i don't understand why america has to be so disproportionately military. i understand this is not the norm. if we're looking for something that breaks the mold, it's the military spending that is far disproportionate. i want us to be the strongest nation in the world. the fact is, we can be the strongest nation in the world for $400 billion instead of $700 billion, or 450 instead of 700. that alone -- we could easily save more than $200 billion a year without, in any way, endangering our security. >> got it. congressman barney frank, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> you're welcome. we'll look at the credit downgrading on consumers and investors here at home. here is chris. on the single largest loss of life of u.s. troops in afghanistan. 30 americans were killed early saturday when their helicopter was shot down. national security correspondent david martin is at the pentagon with more. david, good morning. >> good morning, chris. the bodies of the dead americans

are scheduled to begin their final journey home tonight. they fly out of afghanistan and will arrive at dover air force base in delaware tomorrow morning. 30 americans were killed saturday morning when their chinook helicopter went down, apparently hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. they were brought in as backup for commandos who called for help after hitting the compound of a local taliban leader in the tangi valley west of kabul. of the 30 americans aboard, 22 were navy s.e.a.l.s, most of them members of the now famous s.e.a.l. team six, the unit that killed osama bin laden. the other eight were air force and army personnel. civilian translator, and specially trained dog. the names of those killed have not been officially released but word is spreading as friends and family mourn their loss. many of them were still in their 20s and 30s, some with young children. their families knew they were in a kill or be killed business.

>> he has gone over. >> reporter: that was the brother of michael strange. >> he loves all you guys, all his friends. >> reporter: they came from all over the united states. craig vickers, a bomb disposal expert, was from the hawaiian islands, john brown, a medic with the s.e.a.l.s, from arkansas. his wife and mother were among the 30 families who heard the worst possible news. >> the office of -- called my daughter-in-law, tabitha, and informed her that my son, john, had been killed this morning in afghanistan. >> reporter: today there is a ceremony scheduled at the operation command in florida, the headquarters for the navy s.e.a.l.s. what had been planned as a celebration will now be a very

somber event. chris? >> cbs' david martin at the pentagon for us. david, thank you. first check of our weather this morning. >> we start on the west coast. the area that's only seen below normal temperatures. take a look at seattle, 76. 63 in frsan francisco. even los angeles is below average. due in part to the water temperatures, it's cooling down

somalis are at risk of starvation. they give their all to make the pilgrimage to places like this as refugee camps bring to them little more than their will to survive and they're stories, stories that are now testing the will of the world. >> life in a refugee camp, to risk their lives to come here. it's worse here than it was in somalia. do you wish you had stayed? >> i never wish to stay there. >> reporter: the scene is a familiar one. these are the images of starving somalis in '92. >> what's happening now is almost a mirror image of what happened 19 years ago. >> reporter: lieutenant general

robert johnson xhaned operation restore hope, 24 nations determined to fight the famine in somalia in the earl '90s. when they landed in mogadishu in 1992, the reception was warm. the response, swift. >> we brought in 48 ships in 30 days and actually landed about 40,000 tons of grain. if you can't operate at that magnitude, you cannot reverse a famine. and it's going to be a long haul. >> reporter: when a u.s. blackhawk helicopter was shot down over mog deeishu in 1993, american empathy turned to outrage. today, more than 3.5 million somalis are at risk of starvation. the response this time is far different. with the world economy stressed to the brink and the u.s. military committed to two wars, america isn't as willing or as able to help. >> i just don't think you're going to get anybody doing it.

we're certainly not going to take the lead. >> reporter: further complicating relief efforts, somalia has been without a central government for two decades. and in the south where the famine is greatest, al shabab, a terrorist group linked to al qaeda, is in control and has made delivering aid too dangerous. somalis have been fleeing their country in record numbers since the spring. kenyan border receives most of them. on average, 1,300 a day. >> erica, with so many people arriving there every day, is everyone able to get fed? >> reporter: you know, we actually met a woman yesterday, was in here about a month. she told us on saturday when she went to a food distribution -- everybody, when they arrive, gets a ration card when they register. she said it was so chaotic and there were so many people, police, guards came in to try to get a handle on this situation. she says she was beaten and ultimately she left without anything, because it was too overwhelming and it was too

much. this is a woman who spent 40 days walking here through the desert with her husband and two young children, who are 2 and 4 years old. in theory, there should be enough. sometimes it's tough to get it. we are planning to go to a food distribution tomorrow here to get a better sense of what it's like for folks. >> erica, thank you. we will check back in with you on our next hour on t"the early sho show". that's erica hill in kenya. security on the internet. hacker's convention and why the federal government so interested in it. this is "the early show" here on cbs.

case? >> mortgage rates could go down lower. it's all academic if people aren't get credit. banks understandably are more leery of extending credit after the period of promiscuous lending. >> people see the market crash last thursday down 500 points, see what it t does to the personal fortune. with the bickering in washington it relates to the misery index, but what do you people that saw the big dip? >> truth be told if they need that money to keep the lights on to pay the rent they shouldn't be in the market. if they are in this for the long haul, i don't mean to sound like suze orman, pounding the table, they should stick to their plan. we saw the last time in the spring of 2009, a generational low for stocks, a lot of people sold out and are kicking themselves years later. >> what about consumer confidence? >> is there any consumer

confidence out there? >> there isn't. one pillar that was working in the paradox is the stock market and it doubled since the spring of 2009 and people were finally opening up their 401(k) and roth i.r.a. statements to the extent they see more stock market volatility to the extent they get paid nothing for savings. let's not forget the flipside of interest rates being low. consumer confidence isn't headed high per. >> how long will it take the usa to get the aaa credit rating back. >> if washington can get its act together, a few weeks ago it was revenue increase. sorry for the bad news. >> we're getting used to it. >> so much for the silver lining. up next a hacker coninvestigation, the u.s. is looking to give them jobs. we'll tell you why, this is "the early show" here on cbs.

about adding seroquel xr to your antidepressant to treat your depression. seroquel xr is a once-daily, extended-release tablet, which means medication is released around the clock. for many, seroquel xr, when added to an antidepressant, was proven more effective than an antidepressant alone at helping people feel less depressed. call your doctor if you have unusual changes in mood, behavior, or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking seroquel xr have an increased risk of death. call your doctor if you have fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, as these may be signs of a life-threatening reaction or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with seroquel xr and medicines like it and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. your doctor should check for cataracts. other risks include increased cholesterol and weight gain as well as seizures, dizziness on standing,

president obama returned to the white house sunday after a weekend at camp david. he was hoping for a quiet couple of days to continue his 50th birthday celebration, but didn't get it. norah o'donnell joins us now. >> good morning. >> didn't start well for the president, learning that for the first time in history our sterling aaa credit rating is out the door, now it's just aa plus. how is the white house going to spin this today? >> the white house is furious about this downgrade, blasting the s&p decision. the treasury secretary, tim geithner, said this was a terrible decision by the s&p, even criticizing the math that they used saying that they overestimated the u.s. debt over the next ten years by some $2 trillion. so they're very angry about that. the president's democratic allies are blaming republicans for this, calling this a, quote, unquote, tea party downgrade. the republicans have count erd saying this shows a failure of

leadership on the part of president obama. but the bottom line here is that the s&p says this is part of the problem with gridlock in washington. and this puts more focus on august a 16th. remember that date. that's the date that those congressional leaders have to announce who will be on the supercommittee that is tasked with coming up with more spending cuts. >> let's talk afghanistan now. the news got worse with the 30 service members who were killed as their chopper was downed in afghanistan. any death hits home, but why did this particular incident really hit home with the president? >> well, i think because it's the deadliest day for american forces in afghanistan in this decade-long war in afghanistan. the president sent his sympathies to the families, americans and the afghans killed in this crash. this is obviously something the afghan war, the president is trying to draw to a close. it will refocus decision on the president's war strategy in afghanistan and, this is just

horrible for these military families who are suffering so much on this day. >> cbs' norah o'donnell at the white house for us this morning. thank you so much. >> thank, chris. the death of those 22 navy s.e.a.l.s in afghanistan over the weekend was a staggering loss of life for that special operations unit. joining us now is former s.e.a.l., howard wasdin, author of "mem wars of an elite navy s.e.a.l. sniper." i know you said over the weekend you were just numb. >> good morning, nancy. first of all, i'd like to say that my thoughts and prayers go out to all the family members of this elite force. and yeah, all too real memories come back. i caught myself saturday feeling the same way i did during the infamous black houck down battle where i lost good friends. and i just like to say to the american people when we stand up and are happy for these guys when everything goes well, we've got to be willing to stand behind them when things go

terribly wrong. i hope that america does that. >> absolutely. help us understand, since you know this unit so well, how large is s.e.a.l. team six? how long do members train to get there? is this unit just decimated now? >> it's a staggering blow. we don't give out numbers because that gives out capability. i will say that that's a terrible loss and how long you train to get there, you never quit training, nancy. you train as a s.e.a.l., and then once you get to this team, you continue training just like every other team. it's a never ending process and a commitment that most people can't even comprehend. >> we know that navy s.e.a.l.s are the elite of the elite. explain what it take to become a member of s.e.a.l. team six. >> well, you have to have a dedication, a commitment, a love of country, a love of god and country, and you have to be willing to go out on a daily basis and put your life on the line. i'm appalled when i look at our

country right now and see the news on the weekend, and we got our politicians pointing the fingers about who's to blame for our credit rating. in the meantime you've got the best and the brightest out there, giving their lives, sacrifices themselves on a daily basis. my words to our administration, ow leaders need to take a play from the playbook of the navy s.e.a.l.s, be a team and quit all the infighting. >> so what's the operational impact of this going to be when you have so many members of one unit killed in afghanistan? does that hurt the mission in afghanistan? >> well, i really don't know since i'm not read into that unit any more. but when you have many elite forces go down, it's got to hurt and it's got to hurt for a long time. it takes a long time to train up mens of this group. it takes more time and money to train a member of this group than it does an astronaut. it will be felt for a long time. >> wow. thank you so much for joining us

this morning. we're so sorry for the loss of this unit. howard wasdin, thank you so much. >> you bet. god bless our troops. in africa, we know of the huge humanitarian crisis but even when life becomes a daily struggle there are stories of hope. it's finding stories of survival in the world's largest refugee camp. >> there is such an effort to call attention though this crisis because the numbers keep growing, the number of childrens who have died and the numbers of refugees who keep coming to camps right here in dadaab. jill biden was here this morning in dadaab along with senator bill frist and the head of usaid to call attention to the problem and to plead with americans to do their very best to help. some of the families we have met here have walked for more than 100 miles through the desert carrying with them little more than their will to survive. but that initial journey is really only the beginning.

>> i have some goods. >> reporter: nothing left for them in somalia, this family set out for kenya, arriving in dadaab sunday afternoon. do you feel relieved at all now that your family are here? [ speaking foreign language ] >> translator: he arrived here with his family. >> reporter: once registered, there are basic supplies to help each family get started. a 21-day ration of food, a cooking pot, a tarp to make a tent. too much to carry so ismael heads into the camp looking for help. you have a big smile on your face. [ speaking foreign language ] >> translator: he doesn't know

the village. >> reporter: shapiro has been here for a month. after walking 40 days arriving with nothing, she and her family found refuge and hardship. >> they sleep on the mat. in the mofrning, it is very dusy and at night very cold. >> reporter: she tells us water is a problem. her neighbor isaac has appointed himself the keeper of this tank. >> it is not enough. >> reporter: yet despite the hardships, they would rather be here than starving in somalia. and there is joy here. look no further than the faces and the laughter of the children. there is also hope. within an hour ismael was back with a cart and quickly on his way, pulling his family toward a dream of a better life on a new beginning. and once they do get those supplies and they set out, they are essentially on their own, chris. they exit the registration

center, they have that pack of supplies with them, then they have to go find a spot. it might be like this. this is the extension area where one of the camps has really extended. to walk out here would take probably an hour. so ismael's family, what they were going to do, at sunset at 6:30, they were going to find a family further out and camp with them for a night so that none of their things that they were just given were stolen. then the next day, today, they would set out to find a place where they would start to make a home for themselves and create a tent like the ones behind us. >> you can see much more on the famine in africa tonight on the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley who is also reporting from the region all week long. of course, erica, we'll continue to have reports all week long from the region as well. now here's jeff glor at the newsdesk with a check of the day's other headlines. >> good morning to everyone at home. and there is sadness and shock this morning in ohio after a shooting rampage left eight dead

♪ happy birthday >> reporter: this isn't just their tenth birthday it's a celebration for a lifetime of milestones. the world first met the conjoined twins in 2002 connected at the skull. >> considering what they went through and the type of the procedure that they had, they're doing extremely well. >> reporter: for the first time in their young lives they were living independently and thriving. shortly after going home to guatemala they contracted a devastating case of meningitis and they returned permanently to the states for ongoing care. today the twins known as josie and teracita receive 24-hour care.
