>> we started focusing on his family again as well, and it was a painful, brutal struggle. and he would talk often to me about the pain. >> we'll hear more from walter isaacson early this monday morning, october 24, 2011. captioning funded by cbs beautiful sun rooibeautiful on this monday morning. >> nice to have you back. you had a rough week battling illness and we're happy that you're on the mend and here. >> you don't appreciate good health until you've been sick for a long time. it is great to be back. but i missed you guys and missed you at home as well. we begin this morning with the economy. and a new attack on a huge problem. millions of people whose mortgages, up to 1 million, that have mortgages worth more than their homes right now. >> so many people can relate to that, being underwater. and today president obama is

unveiling a new plan which would help some of those people refinance and even cut their mortgage bill. nora o'donnell is joining us this morning with the details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. you know, the president's jobs bill is stalled in congress, so today president obama is going to begin a series of executive branch actions in order to help jump-start the economy. first up, housing. guess what? the president is on the west coast today. he's going to be in las vegas, which of course is the heart of the housing problem in this country. and we know of course that many people believe that the housing recovery is tied to economic recovery. so here's what the president is going to be doing today. he's going to be announcing what senior officials call a major overhaul of this underused mortgage refinance program. bottom line, you're underwater, you've been paying your bill and you can't refinance, you can't get those great rates that are out there are for people, this program will enable people to fix that. it will remove a lot of the barriers that are in place for

people who can't refinance and can't take advantage of some of the savings out there. and i think you'll also hear the president sort of couple this with a new political message saying, we can't wait. remember it's been pass this bill in terchls of his jobs act. he's going to say now we can't wait to sort of do a lot of these programs to help fix the economy. i asked a senior administration official this morning, hey, if you're underwater and you can't refinance, when can you take advantage of this new overhaul, and i'm told that these regulations will go out november 15th. so around december, you should be able to take advantage of some of these new proposals. erica? >> nora o'donnell at the white house this morning. thanks. wall street meantime has seen a few ups and downs lately, as you know. october turned out to actually be a pretty good month for stocks. >> the dow industrials approaching that key 12,000 mark. but will the rally continue, especially with so much trouble in europe? let's go to rebecca jarvis. good to have you here. >> good to be here. >> before we talk about the market, let's go back to this housing deal. let's hear the numbers here

what, does this mean for how many people out there? >> well, first of all, you have 11 million mortgages in this country underwater, meaning people owe more on their mortgage than the value of their home. 11 million. that's a huge number. the program is expected to help anywhere between 600,000 to 1 million homeowners. and what's important about this is not just the people that it might help, but also the housing market. because we know the housing market has been at the center of our crisis in this country. it's what really set things off. places like nevada, for example, florida, california, which have really been in significant trouble because of the foreclosure rates there. they're going to see likely the largest impact. you see there in the red, 2 million people in those places are in very significant trouble in terms of refinancing. so it speaks to the whole idea of a rising tide could help lift sailboats. >> just to clarify, if some of those people were allowed to refinance, is the thinking it would make it easier for those people if they wanted to sell

their home and then give a boost to the market? or is that wishful thinking? >> that would be wishful thinking, i think. ultimately here what is necessary is for people to be able to live and stay in their homes, people who are up to date on making their mortgage payments, and people by the way the eligible people for this program have a loan with fannie mae or freddie mac. >> let's talk about the markets real quick, because we are talking about big numbers. that psychological 12,000 mark, which we are very close to. >> and what you've been seeing is a manic market, really going back and forth between hope and fear. on the hope side, things are looking slightly better. it's not a recession at this point. but on the fear side, you still have the problems in the housing market, in the jobs market, and also the issues in europe, where we see every day new protests coming out of greece. >> all right. rebecca jarvis, thank you. good to see you. this morning the official death toll is 270 after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit eastern turkey. it happened just near the border with iran. cbs news correspondent mark phillips has the latest from london for us this morning.

>> good morning. the scale of the devastation in the earthquake zone has become clear as the daylight has returned. the rescue efforts continue, and some of the outlying villages have yet to be reached. hundreds are still unaccounted for. a country as earthquake prone as turkey may be quick to react when the earth shakes, but the levels of tragedy, of human misery, and of heroism can still shock. rescue workers have been clawing and hammering away at the rubble, pulling out those who somehow survived. the death toll has already risen well above 200, and no one will be surprised if it goes much higher. in the midst of so much despair, miracles emerge. this morning in the form of a young child found alive. everywhere there are stories of people shocked and confused. this boy was at his uncle's house when the quake hit. i went to my parents' place, he said, and no one was there.

i went to my grandfather's, and it was empty. so i went to the park with everyone else. we were trapped under debris with my brother, this man says. i was pulled out alive, but he is still trapped there. some of it is too much even for the rescue workers to bear. the greatest need is for shelter, and tents were brought in. people have been told to stay out of buildings as aftershocks have been strong and are expected to continue. the quake happened in a kurdish region of turkey, often at odds with the central government, so the rescue effort has a political dimension as well. and as ever, there are questions as to why so many buildings collapsed in an area so prone to quakes. erica? >> mark phillips in london this morning. thanks. and now here's chris. over the weekend just about every gop presidential contender blasted president obama's plan to withdraw troops from iraq by the end of the year. this is michele bachmann on "face the nation." >> there is an american presence that is required to ensure that peace.

this is zero. this isn't even -- remember the military had requested 15,000 to 18,000 troops. that's what the generals had requested. it seems more political based than it does military based, this decision. it seems more like a general axle rod is making this decision to take the troops down to zero. >> and the general axlerod is david axlerod, the obama campaign chief strategist that michele bachmann referred to. jan, what are the other gop candidates saying about iraq this weekend? >> they have all been pretty consistent that the president is not respected, he is operating from a position of weakness, and basically allowing iraq to throw us out of the country. front-runner mitt romney said it was driven by politic, kind of what you heard from bachmann, saying it was a sudden change of policy, and it raised the unavoidable question as romney put it whether this decision is the result of naked political

calculation or simply sheer ineptitude. whichever one it was, not a word of praise from the gop there. >> some would say the president has been on a bit of a foreign policy roll so far this year. bin laden,al awlaki. now having the troops withdraw from iraq. he is not getting the bounce, though, politically. and why is that not translating? >> that's a great question. when you think about the president's use of deadly force to knock out our enemies, you just ran through some of them, it's ironic. and the "wall street journal" pointed it out today, that obama won the nobel peace prize two years ago. he is getting a lot of credit for some of these successes. his campaign is likely to tout that in the months ahead. but he's not getting a bounce, and the reason is unemployment is still at 9.1%, and that is what voters care most about right now. and that maybe explains why the latest gallup poll has his approval rating at just 44%.

that is a problem for president obama going into this election. and that's what he's going to want to talk about. jobs and the economy. >> jan, thank you. good talking with you. >> thanks, chris. we want to check in now with jeff at the news desk for a look at the day's other headlines. good monday morning. >> good morning to you, chris. welcome back. the u.s. embassy in syria said today that ambassador robert ford has been called back to washington for his personal safety. the embassy calls it temporary, but does not say when he'll return. last month ford's motorcade was attacked by supporters of syria's president bashir assad. ford was not hurt. in libya, the nation is still celebrating the end of moammar gadhafi. liz palmer is in tripoli with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. everybody hopes that the fighting really is now over. and reconstruction can begin in earnest.

yesterday, the whole country joined in a massive victory party that went from one side to the other, and the interim leader jalil addressed the jubilant crowd, but did remind them that tolerance will be essential if this is going to work. he also reassured them of something you said before, that the new

with a revealing look of the late steve jobs. you may have seen it last night on "60 minutes."

the new biography is out this morning. >> the author did more than 40 interviews with jobs. and he paints him as a complex and private man who often struggled with himself. >> he had lots of flaws. he was very petulant, very brittle. he could be very, very mean to people at times. whether it was to a waitress at a restaurant or a guy who had stayed up all night coding, he could just really go at them and say, you're doing this all wrong. it's horrible. and you would say, why did you do that? why weren't you nicer? and he would say i really want to be with people who demand perfection. and this is who i am. >> in 2009, jobs secretly received a liver transplant after years of pancreatic cancer. he gave his first interview to isaacson shortly after that, and they continued speaking until just a few weeks before jobs died. >> what were those last 2 1/2 years of his life like? >> he talked a lot to me about what happened when he got sick, and how it focused him.

he said he no longer wanted to go out, no longer wanted to travel the world. he would focus on the products. he knew the couple of things he wanted to do, which was the iphone and then the ipad. he had a few other visions. i think he would have loved to have conquered television. we would have loved to make an easy to use television set. so he had those things. but he started focusing on his family again as well. and it was a painful, brutal struggle. and he would talk often to me about the pain. >> joining us now is the managing editor of "fortune" magazine who also interviewed jobs on a number of occasions. >> and received a number of phone calls from jobs too. the latest issue of "fortune" on newsstands today. always nice to have you with us. >> thanks. >> he took shots at lots of people. he wasn't i guess to some as nice as you would think a guy who was that brilliant would be. and we've heard over and over again he had this kind of

personality. but he didn't spare many, did he? >> the big thing for him was making products, getting things done that he wanted done. and if he had to be charming to make that happen, he would. if he needed to be tough and a jerk quite frankly he would do that as well. the whole point was creating new products. >> and it's interesting because in this excerpt in "fortune" magazine, it talks about one of those products he wanted to create was software for i guess it was the apple 2 at the time. but for apple computers. he called on bill gates. >> right. >> had him develop all this software, and lo and behold, later on, we get windows. what happened in that whole, you know, mess that went on between the two of them? >> well, the relationship between bill gates and steve jobs is really one of the most important business relationships of our time. and really parallel universe twins. born in 1955. both dropped out of college. and they started to get to know each other around 1980 working on software for apple, which was the bigger company of course at

that time. and what happened after a while is that bill gates saw that steve job' idea of software was better than his idea, so he borrowed a lot of them and put them into windows, which helped microsoft eclipse apple and led to apple's decline for a number of years. steve jobs leaves the company. he goes off into the wilder business. and the relationship is very, very complicated that way. >> one of the things you talk about, you talk about this magical thinking. he could overcome anyone, anything, kind of this air of invincibility. and then we also on "60 minutes" learned last night that he put off cancer surgery nine months after he finding out he had it. was that the type of thing where he was almost so stubborn he thought he could overcome this cancer and didn't have the surgery as timely as he should have? >> could see around corners. but like any other human being, not always right. he failed so far making apple tv. that didn't work out.

his decision to postpone surgery or to seek alternative medicine treatments for his cancer turned out probably to be a very, very bad idea. and, you know, he couldn't be talked out of it. and he was someone who was so sure of his opinions that sometimes it led him astray. >> we have about 30 successes. anything that you're learning not just since his death but also in things that are coming out of this biography that really surprises you about him or about his life? >> well, you know, as was suggested earlier on, he took a lot of potshots at people. and one thing that we're reading about in the book that surprised me is he kind of went after the musician john mayer. where does he get up on that, saying if john mayer continues to lead his life the way he is he's going to run into all kinds of problems. and he had this very, very wide vision and interest, you know, in music, art, technology, and so if he decided to dip into something, he would go there and become very, very expert at it. so it's a very broad look at really an amazing man. >> so nice to have you here. thanks.

>> thank you, guys. still ahead this morning, defending michael jackson's doctor. we'll look at what dr. conrad murray's lawyers may do to plant doubt in the juror's minds. and also more about this florida man. he was killed in a shark attack in australia. we're watching "the early show" on cbs.

company. i think what they are going to try through randy phillips is that michael jackson was desperate, he hadn't performed for a long time, he was panky. he knew he had to do this and knew he had to perform and start missing rehearsals and was desperate and what will a desperate man do? he'll do anything to be able to sleep and he did something in the early morning hours himself of june 5th, 2009. >> so much talk over the years that michael jackson had financial issues and this would be a big financial boom for michael jackson inspect is that something else they are thinking about bringing into this as well? first of all, will the judge allow michael jackson's finances to even be a part of this? >> that's and op-een-ended question. the judge says no at this point. the defense we think will mount a fight they want the aeg contract to get into the hands of randy phillips so he can testify about the finances to become an issue before this

jury. they would inadvertently through the back door show that michael jackson had the odds of making a lot of money and that only added to the pressure which then created a panic within him to perform and to take the propofol himself. >> there is talk if convicted, dr. conrad murray may not see any prison time because this is a nonviolent crime, is that correct? >> this is because of overcrowding in the california prison. it was determined that inmates are not getting adequate medical care because of the overcrowding. this is a nonviolent felony so, in fact, even if convicted, he could serve house arrest. >> jean casarez, thanks very much. up next we will meet a couple who adopted a little girl from guatemala and then ordered to give her back. this is "the early show" on cbs. to this. d when my asthma symptoms returned, my doctor prescribed dulera to help prevent them.

don't know for sure but when we eventually came home, as far as we knew, we had a legal and -- adoption. >> reporter: an attorney for the monahansa says it has no jurisdiction in the united states. >> a court can reverse an adoption three years after the child has been adopted and finalized. it means that there can be no finality with any potential adoption. >> karen is still adjusting to life with her american family although her adopted parents believe guatemala is no longer a safe place for her, they hope no matter what she is allowed to live her life to its fullest potential. >> i think she is just such a gifted and caring and empathetic child that i look forward to her sharing those gifts. >> jennifer and tim monahan join us for their first tv interview. we know how difficult this is.

i think one of the take-aways no jurisdiction here in the united states. what does that then mean for karen and for you and for the adoption? >> we have been told that we have a legal adoption in the state of missouri, but it's very important to us, because we believe in ethical adoption that we continue to pursue the truth of our daughter's past. she had a lot of trauma in her early years. >> there a lot of discussion about dna testing and the reason this has come up in a shortened version is that a dna test was done initially and there was a match between the woman who says she is karen's birth mother and another child who was adopted. you don't believe that your daughter karen is that child who had that positive match with the woman who claims to be her mother. why not then do another dna test? it's a simple, nonintrusive swab

with a q-tip in her mouth. couldn't that help you in setting the record straight? >> we don't know what happened. we are working closely with authorities because there have been reports that another child was actually substituted in guatemala for the dna test that occurred. and we have been trying to get some of that information and data. and, apparently, there are a lot of unanswered questions. apparently, miss rodriguez, there is no question it's a tragic situation, she in her search for her daughter, has identified a number other children and undergone dna testing and if there was baby switching, then that could impact those dna tests as well and, apparently, that was one of the big ways corruption impacted the process in guatemala. >> but you don't want to do that dna test now to prove that this is not, in fact, her child?

>> we actually believe that dna testing is a very important part of the process, but, unfortunately, in guatemala, it's the only part of the process that it sort of holds preemence in guatemala. they use rights to declare karen, like we understand it, dna is sort of viewed as a title, and we strongly feel that karen isn't property and because she had a broken femur and a lot of physical and emotional injury, it's very important to us that there be due process and a full understanding and we know the whole truth, not just dna and that that be done in a safe context. >> what would you do and what would the contingency plan be if it is proven that karen is mrs. rodriguez's daughter, the one that she feels has been abducted? >> it's really very difficult to

say. we have been trying to work with authorities all through this process and, again, we are really trying to find the whole truth of the situation to make the best judgment on how to go forward. >> can you just tell us real quickly, how is karen doing with all of this? did she know what is going on? is she doing okay? >> well, it is difficult to explain to a 6-year-old girl why reporters have been pounding on your door or following you around town, but she is -- she has a lot of spunk and she has a lot of trust that we have built, so, you know, she's doing okay. >> thanks. >> thank you. we appreciate it very much. thank you very much. we will be right back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

because it is not clear how bad the damage is. what you see behind me, you are going to see several emergency workers here, trying to get ahold of -- trying to understand whether there are still people alive in that building that collapsed. it was a six-story building, and we know that more than 40 families lived in the building and yesterday unfortunately they rescued six people but three of them were dead. right now, we heard that there might be ten people who might still be alive and right now, rescue workers are trying to reach them and if possible rescue them as soon as possible. >> all right. thank you very much. we appreciate you taking the time for us this morning. moving over to libya now. this is the -- officially the first day of a newly liberated nation. the country's new leader though will have now agreed to investigate the killing of moammar gadhafi. still so many questions about how that happened. cbs news correspondent elizabeth palmer is in tripoli with the very latest. liz, good morning.

>> reporter: good morning. well, first of all, libyans are finally turning their attention to really practical things like getting the garbage collected and getting the oil back online after the extraordinary euphoria that came with the official declaration of national liberation. sunday was libya's victory march and the whole country was there. where the uprising began, to tripoli. the interim leader called for tolerance and reassured that devoutly muslim population that libya's new laws would be rooted in islam. while the ruling government put on a united show in public, behind the scenes they are talking about what to do over gadhafi's body. it is back on grisly display for a third day in the old meat locker. the u.s. and u.n. want an investigation to determine if he was executed.

yesterday, a local fighting unit held a press conference with gadhafi's golden gun assault rifle and satellite phone as props. they said they've done their best to keep him alive after he was captured. but new cell phone video is suggesting otherwise. there's proof he was stabbed and roughed up. in this one, on the scene, he indicates he is the man who killed gadhafi. the autopsy only says that he died of a gunshot wound to the head. libyan government says it will investigate further, but of course there's the possibility that if he was executed and his killer were identified, that person would become a national hero. and so impossible to prosecute. erica? >> liz palmer, thanks. we have a look at some of the other head lines we are following for you on this monday. good morning. >> good morning to you. in our news here in las vegas, president obama will roll out

when i was first working on the book, he said let's take a walk. very much like his father would have done. he said, i know you'll hear a lot of stories of my dad being brutal to people, but i want you to know that he really cares about the product and he wasn't just to make money or be a great businessman. erin called me too. she was 16, six months ago. you know, in the interview she said, i want you to interview me. well, have you talked to her mother? i talked to her, she said, yeah, you can interview her. she said, i want you to know that i understand that my father wasn't there all the time, hbuti appreciate what he did. and i've come to appreciate the fact that he couldn't be there with me all the time. interesting, this is lisa. you know, the daughter from a previous relationship. for a while it was very troubled. especially of course when he was not really taking charge of paternity for her.

but they became closer eventually earlier this year came back and had a nice long talk with them. then, of course, was there a few weeks ago, you know, when he was sick and wasn't going to make it. >> i didn't know anything about the way he lived and it speaks to the secrecy and the persona that jobs managed to create. the secrecy, both about his business operations and especially the secrecy about his family life, private life. >> here is the wife, she is a wonderful person. that's them sitting in the backyard and this is him -- just a little study on the ground floor in palo alto. just looks out on the street. he's working on things. there they are in the garden. >> so it was like looking at a family album, you know, wedding pictures from 20 years ago.

>> here's the wedding. this is lisa. lisa had not yet moved back into her father's house, was still living with her mother. >> how old was steve when they got married? >> mid 30s. >> so this was while he was at next? >> this was at next. he left apple in '85. he met lorene at a talk he gave at the stanford business school and they went out off and on for a year. usual relationship with jobs could be somewhat tumultuous, but he said to me, he said it was tough, but you eventually realize that you have met the person, you know, who you'd like to live this. this is steve's father, paul jobs, the man who adopted him. remember -- i never seen paul jobs, and it was really a month or so ago when i was at the house and steve was going

through pictures in the drawers and pointing to the drawers. he said, go look in that second drawer and you'll find my father. and that was a picture of him which i love, which is, you know, him holding steve when steve was 1 year old. this was in the house in silicon valley. i said to him, your father must have been proud of you. and this is a month ago and jobs is lying there. he looks up at me and he said he was proud of me and i think he was always realizing that this person had imparted upon him a craftsmanship and a love for doing things right. he always wanted to make paul jobs proud. >> fascinating interview last night and great that there's more that you could find, like the "60 minutes" overtime. still so much that we want to learn about the man. >> a great book, a lot of people missing a lot of work this week

saturday rated fat or sodium. consumers aren't sure what they are getting and it's very frustrating so the institute of medicine came out with something they are likening to the energy star appliance ratings except now they are applying it to food. they are looking at calories and then evaluating saturated and nutrition is very complicated. >> you can see there on your screen what they are recommending. do you think the recommendations are realistic they are making? >> i do. i think we need a simple way to choose healthier foods in the store and making it easier for consumers. i teach a whole one-hour class on how to read a food label to people. they are confusing and it makes your head spin.

you get the same listing of the nutrition nutritional-- >> it's just the back. the front is the square with the square or circle or stars. deciding which they want to use and the calories. >> as an expert in the field here, whether you see something like that do you think it's a great step forward this will help people? >> i think it will eventually. i think there are inherent problems because all foods are very different and what might happen is some foods will be left out and not get check marks that should and vice versa. >> is it a little too simple? is that what you're saying? we talk about labels being misleading. could this lead to another problem on the flip side? >> i think it could. for example, diet soda could easily qualify for three checks

but so does broccoli and i don't see them as equivalent and same token like nuts and olive oil may not get any checks when we know they are healthy for you. >> sfaswhat is the industry thos on this? >> they came out with the front of food facts up front but they are listing so many different numbers and things that that also is confused. and who -- no food company wants to get no checks and say don't buy me, i'm not healthy food. i think it's going to take time and it's going to be a process for the food manufacturers and the institute of medicine to work together to create these labels that are fair to everybody. the institute of medicine is trying to take everything into consideration. >> got it. like putting calories on fast food restaurants here in new york. >> does it help when you see the calories? does it work for you? >> it's definitely a deterrent. definitely. good to see you. thanks so much. 125 years ago, dr. john

college. how important was that in bringing that in to help turn things around in this company that you had done very well by before retirement and then you came back to lead again. >> the lesson i got from social work is you really can't tell people to do things. you have to make them change themselves. so i've always tried to manage in terms of getting the facts out there. obviously, leading in a certain direction. but also making sure i was getting commitment, because you can have compliance, but you really need commitment. >> it's interesting, because in a lot of ways, that plays into what we are facing as a nation now here in the united states in dealing with the economy. you can tell people things but you have to motivate them to do it on their own. anything from your 43 years at coca-cola you can immediately point to that you think would make a difference in this economy and helping to start the turnaround? >> i think you got to get people to understand how bad the situation really is. they see it in their everyday lives and why people are camped

out on wall street, okay? they see it, but, they still, i don't think, have realized they have to take a bit of pain in terms of getting it fixed. >> across the board. >> across the board. that's the way it is. i'm an irishman. you look at ireland. they have taken a lot of pain and the people have taken it because they were led in a way where they understood that unless they did that, the other alternative was not really palatable. >> does the leadship need to step up across the board, government, corporate america? >> it is always about leadership. and think that that is probably what is lacking in western europe. you know, they are wrestling with this right now. we will see who steps up, because if you go back to what happened with the financial crisis, people really only step up when they are very close to the -- and it's scary. >> yeah, it is. there is also an important

rivalry within coca-cola that may hold some lessons for the united states. and that is the rivalry between coke and pepsi, which you see as a very healthy thing. >> yeah. >> is it going too far to make the analogy between the u.s. and china being a bit like coke and pepsi? >> well, i think it's, obviously, different because you're dealing with, you know, real countries, real people, not just companies. but why i talk about pepsi being good and one of the former leaders, said if pepsi didn't exist, we would have to invent them, is because what you're doing through competition, you're increasing the size of the pie. and, to me, some of the debate that we have with china at the moment is how do we maintain our share and stop them getting more share. that's the wrong discussion. the discussion is how do we benefit from working together to enlarge the pie to grow the global economy, that's how you grow jobs. and instead of fighting about where they go, seeing how we enable ourselves to be able to compete in all of the new areas

and, therefore, increase our intellectual capital and through that be able to compete. it is about thinking about growing the pie, rather than very narrowly -- i want one of yours and it's a zero game. >> it's important to have the new way of thinking. we have to ask you i know it's a closely held secret and you couldn't reveal it, of course. 43 years at the company and they still won't tell you what the secret formula is? >> no. they wouldn't tell me the secret formula and i didn't even ask because i know the system and i know how closely it's held. >> how many people know the secret formula? >> i'm not even going to tell you that! >> all right. great to have you with us. thanks very much. >> thank you so much indeed. >> the book is "inside coca-cola." you can read an excerpt at cbsnews.com. ahead on the road to billy ,
