weeks. the opening bell signaled the beginning of another turbulent day on wall street but this one ended on a much-needed positive note. >> crazy. crazy day. i mean, we had something for everybody today and then? don't open them. >> reporter: after a rocky morning, the federal reserve announced it would be keeping interest rates low through mid 2013. taking the unusual step of guaranteeing that rates will remain near 0% for a specific time period. the market responded with a 200-point drop but rallied during the final hours of trading to finish up by 429 points. the largest single day gain since march 2009. >> down 200, up 200, down 200, up 200 and dramatically fast. >> reporter: it was an up day for apple as its stock surged 5.9%. at one point surpassing exxonmobil as america's most valuable company and analysts predict permanent bragging rights might not be far off. >> i don't see a lot of reason to slow down in the immediate

cbs news correspondent mark phillips in london with more for us. good morning, mark. >> reporter: good morning, chris. they have started to fix up some of the areas in london that were hit in the rioting but it did continue for a fourth consecutive day. this time, though, it was different in that police reaction and the reaction of the public and the politicians. >> we needed a fight back and a fight back is under way. >> reporter: it didn't end but it was less intense than it had been and it moved. the fourth consecutive day of street trouble in britain shifted north out of london and into the cities of manchester, birmingham, and liverpool and their surrounding areas. >> get away! >> reporter: cities that were once industrial powerhouses but were many of the young now apparently feel looting opportunities have replaced job opportunities. and what they couldn't or didn't want to steal, they list. this kid deliberately sets fire to a dress in a store causing the biggest fire of the evening

in manchester city center. the night also provided a glimpse into the state of mind, if that's not too strong a term, of the looters. >> unemployment. i can't get a job or nothing and best way to find money. >> the police -- deeper things and now this is our people. can't do nothing to us today. the police can't do nothing! >> reporter: the police were finally doing something, after days of public outcry, they turned out in force in the northern cities and in london. which was relatively quiet. the number of arrests is now over 700. but there's a new worry, the groups of at this time sense who feel they have been inadequately protected and have begun to organize their own defense. >> we want our place to stay safe and we want it to be an opportunity for people to come back into the community and not feel threatened by what is coming on. >> reporter: there is a really worrying aspect to this as well. three men who were protecting a

south asian area of britain were killed in what appeared to be a deliberate hit and run attack. these riots have the potential now to turn nasty in an entirely new way. chris? >> cbs' mark phillips for us in london, thank you. here is jeff glor with a check of today's other headlines. good morning to everyone at home. police in phoenix this morning have three people in custody after what appears to be a fake bomb found in a bomb at sky harbor airport. the east african nationals were arrested friday after one of them tried to get through security with a suspicious package in a carry-on. what may have been a dry run to test the system. it was a container with a paste-like substance with a cell phone taped to the outside. >> the way it was packaged, they believe it to be a continuation ied. we have a ten-year anniversary of 9/11 approaching us and in this particular incident we are heightened to these types of scenarios. >> the device they found was not

explosive. to have u.s. general in afghanistan say the taliban forces that shot down a u.s. helicopter last weekend killing 38 people have now been killed themselves in a u.s. air strike. the bodies of the 30 americans killed in saturday's incident were brought to dover air force base yesterday with the president there to see them and cbs news correspondent chip reid a has more. >> reporter: president obama touched down at dover air force base after 12:30. he motorcaded down the tarmac to the two 17 transport planes carrying the remains of the 30 americans. the president's visit lasted about five hours, including meetings with family members. in a recent interview, he acknowledged the professionalism of the team at dover. >> we are blessed for the great work that people at dover do and i think all americans owe them a great deal of gratitude. >> reporter: and we are now learning more about those killed in saturday's taliban attack on the u.s. helicopter over afghanistan. navy s.e.a.l. nick spehar is

remembered as a true patriot by his high school principal. >> he gave 100% in high school. and he gave a hundred percent to our country. >> reporter: jason workman who was also a navy s.e.a.l. grew in up utah one of four brothers and he would have turned 33 on friday. >> he just died doing what he thought was the right thing to do like all of the rest of them over there, they did the same thing. a lot of families like ours are grieving pretty heavily. >> reporter: none of the presidents interaction with family members was caught by tv cameras. it was considered private. the media was not invited. chip reid, cbs news, dover, delaware. there was new shelling this morning between north and south south korea. three shells landed in the yellow sea where four people died in a northern bombardment last november. south korean marines returned fire. all of the shells landed in the water and no injuries reported. severe turbulence forced american airlines flight to make an emergency landing in south carolina. the plane with 152 passengers

all this week, cbs news is focusing on the famine in africa that forced hundreds of thousands of people to leave their homes in somalia and head south to the world's largest refugee camp in dadaab, kenya. erica hill is there once again this morning and good morning to you, erica. >> reporter: good morning to you. just to give you a sense of how many people are coming into dadaab each day we arrived here sunday. since that time, more than 3,000, actually nearly 4,000 made their way to dadaab seeking help and shelter. the need for help will only keep growing. when al shabaab retreated from mogadishu over the weekend many saw that as an opportunity to get out. many we are told are on their way to dadaab, only going to increase the need. here is one of the issues. the camp was built for 90,000 people. there are now more than 400,000 and continues to push further and further beyond the exterior

of the camp, pushing into the land of the local kenyans who live here, and that is raising some serious questions about the future of dadaab. in 20 years, a seemingly barren desert has been transformed. on its shifting sand sits kenya's third largest city with a population of more than 400,000 and growing. a refugee city where nearly all are somalis on kenyan land. >> they're fleeing war, they're fleeing famine and they're literally coming here because they have no choice. >> reporter: dadaab's three camps were originally built to house 90,000 refugees. two decades later they are at nearly five times capacity and pushing further into the kenyan desert. >> local communities have shown a great deal of hospitality but of course hospitality has some limits as well. >> reporter: these homes are a perfect example. originally part of a planned 15,000 home expansion for the refugee overflow the u.n.

project which included schools was stopped by the kenyan government earlier this year, after just 116 homes had been built. >> when they see a house, a structure, permanent structure, they think this is something that will be here for a very long time. >> reporter: an idea that doesn't sit well with many local kenyans who also suffer in this drought but don't see the same help as the refugees. >> this site was constructed about a year ago. >> reporter: the plan to move refugees to the area is back on, construction is not. tents will be added now instead of homes, in part due to the overwhelming need as the massive influx of refugees. but land issues aren't the only problem for dadaab. this exploding population is straining the region's already limited resources. chief among them, water. is there going to be a time when this area can no longer support them? >> this is our gravest concern. we think that we're very close to the point where the maximum

population capacity of this area will be reached. >> reporter: even as that reality looms, the u.n. has made it clear, their mission is to help, and no one will be turned away. >> erica this raises an interesting question then about the surrounding areas, what is the u.n. doing to help those people? >> reporter: there are a number of folks even just outside the gates here at the u.n. compound is the town of dadaab, a number of folks work here with the u.n. also any contract established here, 10% of the services need to be applied to the people of dadaab, so an example of that for you, there are no hospitals in thevillage of dadaab, but there are three hospitals within the three camps and any local resident of dadaab is welcome to go to those hospitals as well so that's one way they're trying to share some of the services. >> great stuff, thank you, erica. we appreciate your reporting. cbs's scott pelley is also in east africa.

you can see more of his reporting tonight on the "cbs evening news." >> we'll check in with erica in our next hour on "the early show." coming up next the search for another american woman missing in arue ka, robyn gardner vanished while snorkeling last week. her traveling companion is being questioned. >> this is "the early show" on cbs. ♪ there's more than a jar of olay moisturizers in every bottle of olay bodywash to leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. with olay. you havcan i borrow a pen? sure. ♪ listen to this. three out of four americans don't get enough vegetables. so here's five bucks to help you buy v8 juice.

bar ba, the island from natalee holloway disappeared in 2005. cbs news correspondent whit johnson has this report. >> reporter: six years after natalee holloway went missing another americans had disappeared from the caribbean island of aruba, 35-year-old robyn gardner from frederick, maryland, was staying in the same resort town when her travel companion reported her missing last tuesday. the two reportedly met online, her boyfriend said gardner told them she was going on vacation with her family. forester became concerned when she stopped communicating via facebook. >> the last message i got from her was threw facebook on tuesday. >> reporter: he said he and gardner had gone snorkeling and she never made it back to shore.

despite an extensive search of the water and coastline, gardener has yet to be found. friendser skeptical of giordano's story. >> she's beautiful and somewhat vain and i can't imagine she was snorkeling at 6:00 at night. she would just for the fact she would get her hair mess ed up. >> reporter: police detained him and he also told investigators they purchased travel insurance before they left the u.s. with gardner's mother listed as the beneficiary. a facebook page has been set up to help find gardner, the family enlisted the help of the natalee holloway center to help navigate the aruban legal system. >> you're pretty much at the mercy of the foreign destination law enforcement to decide when to give you the information. >> reporter: more than a week after her disappearance all the family can do is hope that robyn

gardner doesn't become the next natalee holloway. whit johnson, cbs news, washington. >> joining us now is criminal profiler pat brown. good to talk with you this morning. >> good morning. >> what do we know about this man she was with, like we heard the boyfriend say he knows very little about him, but what are we hearing? >> well, we are not hearing a whole lot, actually. so we really don't know what this man was to robyn, whether he was a friend, a lover. we don't know. we also don't know what kind of man he is. i have heard rumors he had some criminal background, i don't know if that is true. what is obvious, robyn did not, if she and steve did not drown accidentally she did not know this man well enough to be on vacation with him and anywhere near water. >> he's being detained by aruban authorities? >> he is. what they said during discussions they had with him his story didn't quite add up and he did promise to stay but tried to get on a plane so there

are they are suspicious with hill. one of the suspicions with water, how do you prove somebody didn't drown accidentally? so unless they find her, hopefully alive, but if they find her in the water, there may be no proof that anything happened but she drowned, and well, the best thing would be if something did happen to her they find her someplace else on the island which could prove that he might have been involved but this is a very difficult situation. you don't want to go on a vacation with somebody you do not know well enough anyplace near water. >> authorities stay tight-lipped about the investigation. how difficult is it to get information from aruban authorities? >> i think we're bashing the aruban authorities a little bit too much. this happens with any police department, the same thing would be true in the united states. when something goes down the authorities don't necessarily bring in the family and tell them every single detail. i've heard the aruban

authorities are out with helicopters, looking for her, detained the suspect and even called him a suspect. so actually i think the aruban authorities are doing what they can and robyn is not from aruba, nor is this man so there's not any politics going on like the joran van der sloot case. they're going to want to do the best job they can i think to keep their image up. i think the family is in good hands. it's sad that it may be difficult to prove what happened to this. >> pat brown thanks for joining us. >> thanks, chris. we turn again

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, drowsiness, impaired judgment, trouble swallowing, and decreases in white blood cells, which can be fatal. use caution before driving or operating machinery. isn't it time to put more distance between you and your depression? talk to your doctor about seroquel xr. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

the federal reserve's decision to keep interest rates very low for another two years is sure to have a direct impact on your wallet. >> author of "the real cost of living" is here to take you through the advantage of the low rates. carmen good to see you again. >> good morning. >> let's start with the main

consumer areas and the lower rates the reserve is offering. >> this is basicallicy promise rates will stay low for quite a while. they've been almost near zero, the fed prime rate since '08. we're looking ahead. with the debt downgrade, folks were worried we'd see rates go up. this says the fed says rates will go down. for example mortgages, mortgage rates record lows, 4.5%, when are we going to see this for a while? we'll see if they stay down. a lot more things affect our lending and borrowing more than they used to. right now what they want in the housing market are the low rates so folks who are on the fence with buying, worrying and waiting to see what will happen will buy. when it comes to refinancing this is a great time to do it if you're in great financial shape and that's the caveat with everything we talk about, great credit and got to have income, all of those things to make lenders happy. >> also, to get the loan in the

first place, because it's so hard these days, even if you have pretty good credit, it's still hard to get it. is that going to change in any way? do you think the banks are going to loosen up on their standards and have less risk? >> they are waiting for two things, one that the job market recovers such because of course you have to have that stable income, and also the housing market stabilizes a little bit. what we saw with the massive influx of borrowing and lending which created the bubble in the first place, there was a huge contraction and lenders are scared to lend. if you think about it, if the lender is going to put up 80% on a home and your housing market drops 30% the risk is so much bigger, not that's going to happen but they are scared straight as to who they'll allow to borrow and take advantage. >> why shouldn't people who are going to buy a home be scared, too? >> the housing market, if it dips a little bit this is a long-term investment or a long-term move for you. you get a lot more value out of the home besides the value going up anyway. if you're holding on for five or

ten years and manage to lock in 4% or 5%, this is an amazing rate. in the 8 09s we were paying 17% on our mortgages. >> big difference. that's like thousands and thousands of dollars. >> thousands of dollars. hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of any loan but even on a monthly basis tremendous savings. >> my folks tell me the stories and it's tough to fathom. talk about auto loans. >> most are fixed so if you have one already nothing will happen but if you are in the market, this is one of the bright spots in the economy, auto sales are pretty up. we're talking really low rates, at around 6% or lower and so many incentives for buying so this is still good news for the auto lending and auto market. >> you talked about this yesterday, credit card debt. that as much as interest rates can be low, credit card debt is still the actual rate you pay on it continues to climb. >> credit cards when it comes to borrowing and lending this is a rogue element in this whole process here because credit card

companies also base their rates on what is their policy in terms of default rates, incredibly high in '08 so they'll make it more expensive for you to borrow. it's up to you, this is one of the loans that depends on you and how you behave with your credit and manage it. don't forget with the card act that went into effect last year if your rate goes up on your credit card it's only on new purchases, not on the balance you already have. it's not retroactive and you have 45 days' notice, a little extra wiggle room. >> great information as always, carmen appreciate it. come up next things are looking up in chicago thanks to marilyn monroe, why this 26-foot statue is causing quite a bit of controversy.

we'll talk with the author coming up. but first, we want to get to the latest on britain's deadly riots. last night a fourth night of violence was concentrated in cities in northern england. police try to stop it, they're getting some help that they really don't want. mark phillips is in london with the latest. good morning, mark. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. well, despite the post riot look to part of london, businesses are trying to repair and to actually reopen. but a very worrying incident last night. three men were killed as they tried to defend their property in face of other potential rioters. they were in a sub-asian area of town and it has become a worrying twist to this story about. there's ab new and worrying reaction to the wave of looting across london. vigilantism. local citizens have organized their own protection against the

rioters. in this south asian area of london, local shopkeepers and others came out into the streets to defend their business, homes and temples against potential attack. >> brothers and sisters, sons and daughters come together to solve the problems without undue violence to protect each other which then takes it to a further level causing further violence and destruction. >> reporter: the same thing happened in north london, where a large warehouse had been burned to the ground. here people organized themselves into patrols while complaining that police hands were tied. there's a glowi ingrowing backl >> i back the police up 100%. their hands are tied by lunacy civil rights laws, simple. >> reporter: a right wing reaction is developi ining and groups like the english defense league are moving in. >> the police are unable to control the streets. these are patriots who have come

out to defend their area. >> reporter: the rioting kids, at least some of them, describe their motivation in terms of economic disadvantage. >> there's unemployment. i can't get a job offer. this is the best way. >> reporter: but these riots, already ugly, have the potential to turn into something even nastier. the fear is that the riots are exposing huge social economic and even racial gaps. and that as long as they go on, the more worrying that gets. chris? >> cbs' mark phillips in london. thank you. it's a growing fe nom number that has pros and cons. randall pingsston reports. >> reporter: as the riots in england set parts of the country burning authorities say social media is fanning the flames. it began after mark duggan was shot and killed by police. a memorial facebook page quickly went up. and 15 minutes later there was

this post. please upload pictures of video you might have from tonight in tottenham. share with people as to why this has blown interest a riot. it was a call to arms that has now erupted for four days. rioters and looters taking to the streets. instant messages typed on blackberries in effect organizing the chaos. everyone from all sides of london, meet up at the heart of london, oxford circus, one read. their shops are going to get smashed up, so come get some free stuff. it's a dark side to social media which was praised last spring for its role in fueling the popular uprising in egypt and across the middle east. >> generically speaking the arab spring and the london summer are identic identical. you have disenfranchised youth using tools of the trade, things they carry in their pocket and spontaneously erupting into one thing or another. >> reporter: in this country, we

typically think of flash mobs as something unsuspecting and entertaining, like groups suddenly busting out dance moves a in bathes suits or breaking out in song. but increasingly internet organized mobs have turned ugly. this is a flash mob or flash rob as it has come to be known with the group robbing a sears store just outside philadelphia in june. social media can even be unintentionally disruptive. a recent incident in which a los angeles deejay attempted to organize a party turned ugly when police were called in to break it up. >> technology is amoral, it's agnostic to its use. it's the use that people put to it that's at issue. >> reporter: whether used for dancing, democracy or just plain destruction. randall pinkston, cbs news, new york. this is scary stuff. >> yeah. >> when it's happening.

>> the whole social media craze, like randall said in the piece, works well in some cases but some kids are just plain stupid about it. >> jeff glor with a check of the other headlines. >> the fbi this morning may be closing in on the notorious dougherty gang. the three sib lings were seen in colorado springs yesterday. their car was stolen. texas plates were also spotted in colorado. they allegedly shot up a police car, then robbed a bank in georgia. >> these individuals are considered armed, dangerous and we believe they pose a very imminent threat to the community that we serve and to law enforcement in general. >> the fbi believes the fugitives stopped at an outdoors store in colorado and may be camping. the results are in this morning from recall elections in wisconsin.

they were seen as a referendum on republicans who had limited rights for state workers. elaine quijano reports from madison. >> reporter: the s wifor wiscon democrats, tuesday's vote was supposed to be revenge. >> they aren't listening to our voice. i'm a retired teacher, actually, and it's time we take wisconsin back. >> reporter: six republican state senators faced a recall vote just months after the republican governor stripped unions of their collective bargaining rights, arguing it would help close the state budget gap. democrats fired back. 14 of them fled the state to avoid voting on the measure. while thousands of public employees took over the capitol. dick wheeler has reported on the government for 40 years and said union members were outrajtd. >> it was an affront because they thought that they were being singled out. >> reporter: in the run-up to

the recall election, candidates and outside groups spent an extraordinary $30 million on political ads. when the votes were counted early this morning, democrats gained two seats, but the republicans held on to four others that were contested. >> tonight my constituents spoke, and guess what? we are on the path to recovery. ♪ we shall overcome ♪ some day >> reporter: democrats say the fight is just beginning. >> this is about people who are working to make a difference and serving people in the state having a voice in their government. >> reporter: republicans now hold the majority of seats in the state senate by just one vote and face a highly charged political climate. elaine quijano, madison, wisconsin. a miraculous story of survival out of washington state. 12-year-old dale strander is recovering and alive after

>> this weather report this weather report sponsored by hershey's drops. a lot of hershey's happiness in a little drop of chocolate. >> thanks so much. that's your latest look at weather. now here's chris. >> the u.s. and other countries have committed hundreds of

millions in food aid for refugees in east africa. much of that goes to dadaab, kenya, where people are also doing whatever they can to feed themselves. erica hill is in dadaab with more on that story for us this morning. erica, good morning. >> reporter: yes, chris, good morning to you. it's important to remember that so many of the more than 400 refugees who now call dadaab home came here because they were fleeing famine in many places but chiefly somalia. the latest numbers we have is on average of the new arrivals about 20% of the children arrive here malnourished. food is obviously a major concern on a daily basis. c.a.r.e. international which handles the food distribution here in the camp, though, is actually trying to increase the options for the people who live here and try to grow a bit of variety. one look at dadaab's scorched earth and it's no surprise only

the heartiest survive here. something is sprouting in the camp. >> what are you growing here? okra. leafy greens. a micro garden grown in grain sacks which require less water. essential in the drought-ravaged area. c.a.r.e. international taught 3,000 refugees to garden last year. >> at first they didn't know that they can do farming in this place. >> reporter: the aid organization estimates there are now some 1800 gardens like this in the camps. 1800. for more than 400,000 refugees who struggle to get any vegetables into their diet. >> especially during the drought, it's very difficult to get it from this place. and when it comes, it's very difficult. >> reporter: maintaining a garden like this isn't easy. just literally hauling enough water is a back breaking task. a cart would change that, but for now some of her children carry the 15 cannes of water she

needs each day to keep these plants arrive. she farmed in somalia before she fled four years ago. corn, onions, even tobacco until al shabaab forced her to stop claiming the koran forbids tobacco. they have spinach, green peppers, hot peppers. at one point you had tomatoes as well. and kale. and sometimes there's okra. they keep some of the produce they grow for their families and sell the excess. she tells me her children love the vegetables but she's concerned the project is too small and it won't last. a sentiment shared by the lucky few who keep these greenhouses going. >> translator: so we feel we need more greenhouses to grow more product. and now they're telling that we

have very many here, many, many people. >> reporter: the people working in the greenhouses are some of the most vulnerable women in camp. single mothers and victims of jend are-based violence. the reason they were given these positions is because it gives them a chance to earn some income and support their families. >> how many people actually get these vegetables? >> reporter: it's small. this is a start, but it's very small. in each camp, the two greenhouses, there are probably about 500 people total who will eat some of those vegetables. think about the fact that in each camp there are more than 100,000 people. even the woman you saw, she has eight children. the vegetables she grows can feed her family, but she doesn't have enough left over to sell. >> nice job out there. and safe travels. we look forward to having you back here in new york. all right. remember, you can see more of erica's reporting on the familiar number africa on our website earlyshow.cbsnews.com.

the prevalence of this disease increased by 44%. that's significant because it's often misdiagnosed and affecting younger and younger people. >> what did they attribute this increase to? >> largely diet, obesity, hypertension. think of this as the equivalent to the diseases like diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. you can't see those diseases. this one you can see and you can feel and really is related to those factors. >> what are the main symptoms of it? >> typically if you speak to people who have gout, i have some patients with this they say the primary symptom that brings people in, pain. this typically can be pain in a joint, usually the big toe, it can give you redness, it will blanch and kind of appear pink, visibly and it really also can give you swollen joints, their ankles can swell. a patient was misdiagnosed for 11 years, this is not on the forefront of doctors.

they look for this in the elderly. we're seeing it in middle aged men and women. >> talk about how you can avoid it. if you get it, how can you control it? >> this is one of the things if you heavily modify your diet and things that you can control, you can really reduce your risk so you want to reduce things like high diets in meats, alcohol can be triggers, and in terms of treatment, nonsteroidal, medications can be used. >> thanks so much. still to come here on "the early show," pippa popping up everywhere, the ongoing fascination with the royal family's newest and hottest in-law. this is "the early show" on cbs. >> "healthwatch" sponsored by philips health probiotics. gas and bloating. with three strains of good bacteria to help balance your colon. you had me at "probiotic."

tell you you should do it, it's important to tell you to tell you the stories because they are imperfect. certainly a festival of imperfection, because otherwise i feel that the media distances people, and you come to feel you can't do anything, only people at the top can do it, it disempowers rather than empowers and also i wanted to show how far we've come in 30 or 40 years to say so people can think okay, where do we want to be in 30 or 40 years because the movement has just begun. >> what do you think, where are the big obstacles for women going forward and where are the big challenges? >> well, we're still struggling with a basic human right called reproductive freedom that is the right of an individual to decide when and whether to have children. that is terribly important for women, obviously, because it's

the greatest determinant of whether we're healthy or not, poor or not, educated or not in public life or not, and as we can see from the opposition here to reproductive freedom, the idea the government should make these decisions, you know, we're not there yet. we now have more or less the idea and certainly approval of equal pay, we don't have it yet, but still the work that's done in the home, the work of nurturing and taking care of invalids and family members and so on, which is about 30% of productive work in the country, has no economic value and you could give it an attributed value. >> you legislature, we're 70th

changed and exposed it as tacky which it really was, the playboy club was profoundly tacky and people did not get promised wages so they had a tough time keeping people. >> gloria steinem, we appreciate you, thank you for being here. >> the documentary debuts monday on hbo.

love it but many loath that a white woman dared to tell the story through the eyes of black maids in black dialect. i know you've heard how dare she? i felt that. i was saying those exact words to myself as i was writing it. when i grew up, we did not talk about race. i'm still not entirely comfortable with what i've written, and i know i didn't get it all right, but it's so important for people to explore what it must feel like to be in someone else's shoes. >> forgive me lord but i'm about to kill that woman. >> reporter: viola davis, abeline and the woman happened to escape the criticism but they say they believe in the book and are proud of the movie. davis says she was giving voice to her mother, who was a maid. >> it's great to pay homage to them in the film so they could come to the forefront, people

can shine a light on their lives. >> what we should do is get beyond seeing things in terms of color and focus on the things that make them similar. >> the book's been on the best seller list forever but the movie sort of knocks that up a notch. >> i'm so proud to say that was not my problem. it is such a joy to hand that over to tate and octavia and viola and say y'all do what you want to do. >> have you lost your mind? >> nom, but you about to. >> reporter: bill whitaker, cbs news, hollywood. >> actually i already saw the movie. >> yes. >> fantastic, definitely going to be an oscar contender. octavia and viola davis, fantastic. >> a fantastic novel and the message, too. bill whitaker's report covered it well. >> to think 60 literary agents
