tonight, thanks to the good folks over at macy's. good morning, everybody. i'm chris wragge. >> we'll hear from jeff glor in just a few minutes. how about that baseball game? >> my mom's whole side of the family is in st. louis my grandfather was up all night because he was so excited about that win. first, the latest on the stock market, one day after the dow jones industrials hit the 12,000 mark for the first time in nearly three months. alexis is at the new york stock exchange. good morning, how are the markets responding so far this morning? >> well, chris, stocks were lower right out of the gate, one day after global markets surged on news of that european debt deal. here's a look at the big board right now. we're expecting to see some good old-fashioned profit taking after what has been an incredible run. the dow jones industrial average closed back above 12,000 for the first time in three months and october is still shaping up to

be the best month for the blue chip index in 24 years. but some money managers may want to cash in profits and pretty up their port foeios for their clients. >> let's talk about what led to this. you mentioned record month for the dow and the s&p. what has been driving this robust surge? certainly the deal coming out of europe lit a fire under world stock markets, but it wasn't all about europe this time. the u.s. economy grew at a faster clip last quarter than expected at an annual rate of 2.5% and that was boosted by a jump in spending, by not just consumers, but businesses, as well. speaking of spending, we found out this morning americans spent a lot more last month, three times the pace than in the previous month, even though their incomes barely budged. consumer spending rose about 0.6% last month and traders here see that as an encouraging sign saying consumers may be down, but they're certainly not out.

>> any indicators on the street right now that this current surge, this good fortune on wall street could continue? >> i think we're looking for another catalyst and see if this european deal could be put to the test and work. >> alexis, thank you. here's rebecca. >> chris, thanks. more this morning from that explosive "60 minutes" interview yesterday we heard ruth madoff say she and her husband tried to kill themselves after his fraud was revealed and in thee interview she talks about the day madoff confessed to her. >> i was kind of paralyzed. bernie got up and said, i'm going back to the office. >> was he emotional in any way? >> i don't remember that. he must have been. >> apologetic in any way? >> probably, yes. i am sort of blind now. i'm not hedging here. i just simply don't remember every detail. i was in such a state.

>> later that day, that evening, you both turned up at the office christmas party. >> he phoned me from the office and said, we have to know to the office christmas party. so, i got myself together and went over there. we stayed a half an hour and we just went home. and the next morning the fbi was there to arrest him at about 7:00 a.m. >> joining us now is bernie madoff's former attorney, ira sorkin. are you surprised by anything you have heard or were you privy to all this information? >> i was aware of all the information she disclosed. as far as the arrest and how it went down? >> it is very clear to me, i was out of town watching my 2 1/2-year-old granddaughter in a nursery school class at 9:30 in the morning in washington,

d.c., when my cell phone rang and he was on the line and he essentially said, i have been arrested and handcuffed to a chair at the fbi headquarters and i need your help. he had spoken to me about a week and a half earlier to come up and talk to me about what i didn't know. and then he called me the day i was headed to washington, the wednesday, the 10th when all of this went down for the family and said he needed to adjourn until monday the 15th. i said, fine, come up and see me the 15th and then when i was down in d.c. on the morning of the 11th, i got the call around 1k9 30 in the morning. >> bernie takes a plea deal a couple months after the arrest. what motivated him to do that so quickly? >> his wife and his family. there's a good possibility that he could have stayed out for a much longer period of time under bail conditions. and then pleaded because i think at the time that he confessed to his sons, he knew he was going

to die in prison. so, there's a possibility that he could have stayed out. however, the pressure on his wife, the pressure on his family was so intense, the anti-semettic threats, that were vicious, the death threats that to relieve the pressure on his family and particularly his wife, he chose to plead and the moment he pleaded and was remanded to prison, the satellite dishes disappeared, the helicopters disappeared and the reporters disappeared. >> did they encourage him to do that or was that his decision? >> that was his decision. >> as far as his suicide that we heard from ruth, i know there was some people that think there was some truth to it, maybe it's not 100% true. did you know that bernie or think that bernie was suicidal at the time? >> i was aware that he was in a pretty bad state. i'm not qualified to say if one is suicidal or not. i knew he was in terrible shape. >> did not surprise you about these revelations? >> i knew about the attempt

before. >> let me ask you this, we talk about bernie taking the plea deal lycra becka mentioned, concerned for ruth and the kids. was there ever, did he ever demonstrate or display any sympathy for the thousands of people whose lives he ruined? >> oh, yes. not that he would ever be believed, but he certainly did. he certainly did in conversations with me, which i'm not going to go in to. he had enormous remorse. he felt that he could get out of it. he never could get out of it, it continued to spiral and you know the rest. >> i thank you for joining us. >> you can see the intertire interview this sunday night right here on cbs. now, here's terrell brown filling in for jeff glor at the news desk with a check of the day's other headlines. >> good morning to you, chris. good morning, everyone. if last night's game is any indication, get ready for a wild, world series game seven tonight. for only the third time in

series history a team that was one out from elimination came back to win a game and the cards did it twice. in the ninth inning and tenth inning david freese led the charge and two-run triple to tie the game for the second time and then the bottom of the 11th, he smashed a walkoff homer to center for the win. >> we will see you tomorrow night. >> tonight what will be the first game seven in a world series since 2002. texas governor rick perry may be a no show at some upcoming presidential republican debates. more than half a dozen debates are planned between now and the january 3rd iowa caucuses. perry has committed to just one of those. his opponents were quick to criticize. >> i would never skip a debate. i would never skip the opportunity to let the american public know what i think about think about these issues.

>> perry's campaign admits he hasn't done well in previous debates. president obama had dinner at a virginia restaurant last night with four donors to his re-election campaign, but not the wealthy contributors usually seen at fund-raisers. they won a dinner with barack contest. two retirees, a postal worker and a small business owner. in nashville, tennessee, this morning police arrested 30 occupy protesters near the state capital. officers moved in to clear out demonstrators and camped out in the plaza for three weeks. yesterday they posted new rules banning overnight occupancy in that plaza. to the manslaughter trial conrad murray. today an expert witness is expected to testify that jackson could have given himself a fatal overdose of the anesthetic propofol. but yesterday murray's defense focused on a different drug altogether. cbs news correspondent ben tracy reports. >> reporter: in concert rehearsals just days before he died, michael jackson could

still put on a show. but in court thursday -- >> stiff doses. they were above average doses. >> reporter: addiction specialist dr. robert waldman testified that jackson all too often relied on the pain killer demeral. >> i believe there was evidence that he was dependent upon demeral. >> what about addicted? >> possibly. >> reporter: jackson was consistently given demeral by dr. arnold klein, the beverly hills dermatologist who gave the singer regular botox injections. >> he used extensive, large doses of demeral all through april, all through early may and again at the end of may. >> reporter: the defense seems to be arguing that jackson's withdrawal from demeral caused insomnia which led to propofol. dr. murray admits to giving jackson the drug in his bedroom to help him sleep, but says jackson administered the fatal

dose himself. >> if murray administered the doses that he described, i would not have expected michael jackson to have died. >> reporter: on cross-examination, the prosecutor reminded the jury no matter the amount, propofol is a drug dr. murray should have never given michael jackson. ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. and murray's lawyer said this week that they will not call him to testify on his own behalf. we go to eastern turkey now this morning. another miracle rescue. a 13-year-old boy was pulled alive from a collapsed building five days after sunday's powerful earthquake. the death toll from that quake now at 570. earlier this morning, nasa launched the first in a new generation of earth observation satelli satellites. a delta rocket carried it into orbit from california. the satellite will test instruments to measure environmental data and improve wersh forecasts. meanwhile, here on earth, a very rare, early snowfall in

this morning there are new safety concerns for women taking new formula birth control pills like yaz. >> a study released by the fda finds newer versions of the pill seem to have a higher risk of dangerous blood clots. great to have you here, dr. philips. >> great to be here. >> what does the study show? >> it looked at 800,000 american women over the course of seven years. now, it found those taking one of the newer forms of birth control called yaz had a 75% greater risk of suffering from a blood clot than those taking some of the older forms. now, we know yaz and some of the newer drugs use a hormone in them to increase potassium levels. >> for women on birth control pills, what are some of the symptoms of a blood clot? >> the blood clot generally

starts right below the knee and the calf. those symptoms would be calf swelling and tenderness, just sudden out of no where. you're not expecting for that to happen. the clots become life threatening when they move up to the lungs and those symptoms you just can't miss. they're shortness of breath and palpitations. getting into the emergency room right away can actually make the difference there between life and death. >> so, especially if you're on one of these pills, the first thing you should think about is going to the emergency room. should women consider not taking these pills given all the side effects? >> right, well, i would advise most of my patients not to make any rash decisions now. we're going to know much more in december. the fda is going to compare this new study with some of the older studies out there and come up with some more definitive recommendations. but, if you are on any birth control pill, whether it's the old form or the new form, don't smoke. that increases your risk of getting a blood clot far more than what form of birth control you're choosing. also, try and maintain a healthy weight, that could cut down on

your risk of clots. if you're going to take a long trip on a plane or on a bus or on a train, get up and walk around. that helps to prevent the blood from pooling in your lower leg and cuts down on your risk of suffering from a risk of a serious blood clot. >> given these serious side effects why people are taking some of these newer pills. what do you say? >> some of the most important and they tend to cause less weight gain and nausea and even battle acne. it makes sense that women want to try some of the newer formulations, we just have to make sure they not more dangerous than what we had before. >> you have to tailor make whatever birth control is right for you because there are so many different side effects. >> if you have a high risk of blood clots, if you had one before or have that in your family, then maybe any birth control pill is not the right choice for you. so, you really have to tailor make it and sit down with your doctor and think about it. >> great information.

>> thank you. still ahead, more americans own a gun now, more so than ever before. we'll take you inside the changing face of gun control. we're going back to china this morning. why is their economy booming? one reason is the entrepreneurs there. we'll show you how a new generation of business owners is changing china and also the world. right here on "early show" on cbs. keurig has a wide variety of gourmet coffee and tea to choose from. keurig is the way to brew fresh, delicious coffee in under a minute. way to brew. so with keurig, every cup tastes like it's brewed just for you. because it is. chase freedom gives you 1% cash back. and the largest cash back card only gives you a quarter percent until you spend $3,000 every year.
