jonathan waxman. as we do every morning, we begin with a look at today's "eye opener." your world in 90 seconds. >> while i do not believe i did anything illegal. i did an awful, awful lot that was wrong. >> john edwards acknowledges his sins but denies any crime. >> john edwards is a free man after a jury acquitted him of campaign fraud. >> the jury was split on five other counts. so the judge declared a mistrial. >> i don't think god is through with me. i really believe he thinks there's still some good things i can do. >> god is not finished with him yet. voters are. a monthly jobs numbers just out. unemployment now at 8.2%. employers added 69,000 jobs in may. we were expecting 155,000. >> what grade would you give president obama? >> an f. no question about that. >> across the board? >> across the board. >> the deadline given to president assad by the syrian

army to comply with the u.s. peace plan expires this morning. >> the massive wildfire in new mexico is racing erratically in all directions. >> we have a champion of the 2012 scripps national spelling bee. >> it's a miracle. >> a bear putting two schools on lockdown and interrupting an eighth grade graduation. >> crystal butcher in serious trouble for one gross traffic stop. >> why would i do that? >> all that. >> justin bieber suffered a concussion last night in paris after running into a glass wall during a concert. >> and all that matters. >> special tribute to the queen and released previously unseen family footage. >> on "cbs this morning." >> president obama welcomed former president george w. bush back to the white house for the official unveiling of his portrait. >> as you wrestle with tough decisions, you'll now be able to gaze at this portrait and ask

what would george do? captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with breaking news that is raising fears of a new economic slowdown. businesses are creating fewer jobs than expected. >> rebecca jarvis has been looking at the government's latest employment report which just came out about 90 minutes ago. what do the numbers show us? >> good morning. this was a very weak employment report by all accounts. just 69,000 jobs were added in the month of may. that is the worst level of job creation our economy has experienced in more than a year and meantime the unemployment rate actually jumps to an even higher 8.2% from 8.1%. now in addition to this month's weak employment report, the labor department also revised numbers for previous months hiring in both march and april lower than previously estimated and the bottom line here is that

job creation in this country is stalling. it was looking stronger throughout the winter time but now the number of new jobs being created is slowing down. the number of long-term unemployed individuals in this country is also looking worse. it rose in may to 5.4 million. that's up from 300,000 last month. as we know the economy is a major political hot button issue right now. the reverberations are being felt on capitol hill. house speaker john boehner, for example, and majority leader eric cantor already weighed in on the numbers. the white house is saying the economy is growing but not fast enough and much more work needs to be done. the bottom line here is that not enough jobs are being created even to keep up with population growth. you need about 200 to 250,000 new jobs just to account for new people entering the workforce. these numbers are not only an issue in the recovery but also would be an issue in any normal period of time when we were trying to create new jobs.

charlie? >> rebecca jarvis, thank you. bill plante is with us in washington. this is something we have a president that can't seem to escape bad numbers. >> the president has got to run on something other than his jobs record. the economy is not lifting his sale sails. it looked like it was but last two months devastating. today's numbers terrible. they have to change the subject. you can expect them to go after mitt romney as a failed governor of massachusetts in addition to going after him as a failed corporate leverage buyout. >> there are no more tools in the economic toolbox to affect these numbers before the election. >> there is nothing that congress is going to do for this president going ahead. so the president is on his own with the economy goes and that's not good for this campaign. that means that they have to do something else. >> the romney people already out saying devastating news for american workers and families and there's a quick response right there. so the president wants to change

the narrative and say it's about the governor of massachusetts and it's not about my economic record. how responsible has the president been and why has he been unable to change this economic -- >> the white house will tell you the president has done everything he can and used every tool in the box and that the recession was so deep that it is hard to climb out. of course romney is going to say, well, look, i know how to do it. the president has to target the people who voted for him the last time and convince them that romney is not the guy to be president. to disqualify mitt romney and that's why this is already such a hard fought and even ugly race. >> bill clinton in an interview this week made the point that the judgment about this campaign ought to be what would governor romney do in the first four years versus what the president will do in his second four years. what do we think the president would do differently in the next four years about the economy?

>> all their homes are pinned to the eventual recovery and economists agree there will be one but they don't know when. that's the difficulty for the campaign. >> definitely beyond november 2012. some suggest for example housing starts may begin to pick up which is key to recovery but it's in 2013. >> this does the president no good for re-election and doesn't do much good if he gets re-elected so he does need to change the subject. john edwards is waking up a free man. the former democratic presidential candidate corruption case ended in a mistrial thursday. government sources say a retrial is not likely. jurors deliberated for nine days but could only agree on one of six counts voting not guilty. anna werner is at the courthouse in greensboro, north carolina. >> reporter: good morning. the courtroom was silent as the decision came down yesterday and then we watched immediately afterwards as john edwards

hugged his daughter, his parents, and his lawyers and then came outside to face the public. >> while i do not believe i did anything illegal or ever thought i was doing anything illegal, i did an awful, awful lot that was wrong and there is no one else responsible for my sins. >> reporter: sins perhaps but jurors could not agree that john edwards broke the law. of the six felony charges, they acquitted him on one count of accepting illegal campaign contributions from rachel bunny mellon. they deadlocked on the remaining five to the judge declared a mistrial. >> thank goodness we live in a country with the kind of system that we have. >> reporter: over the past six weeks prosecutors tried to prove that edwards misused a million dollars in donations during the 2008 presidential campaign to cover up his affair with rielle

hunter. the prosecution's key witness, former staffer andrew young, claimed he and edwards worked on the coverup together but at trial young admitted keeping much of the money. edwards' lawyers argued donations were not campaign contributions but gifts. alternate juror who did not deliberate but heard all of the evidence at trial agrees. >> all of the money, it never went into the campaign. it never went to john edwards. of the $1.8 million, 1.6 went right to andrew young. >> reporter: in the end jurors split on virtually all of the charges. a source tells cbs news it's unlikely the justice department will seek a retrial. what does the government do now? >> the government if they're smart gives it up. there's no reason to retry this case. they had their best chance. they got evidence in they wanted. they got the jury instructions they wanted. they were unable to convince this jury on one single count. >> thank you.

>> reporter: outside edwards thanked the jurors, his parents and his daughter, cate and spoke of his love for his children including the 4-year-old daughter he fathered with rielle hunter. >> finally my precious, quinn. who i love more than any of you could ever imagine. >> reporter: now he's focused on moving on. >> i don't think god is through with me. i really believe he thinks there's still some good things i can do. >> reporter: this was a high profile defeat for the department of justice who tried to prosecute edwards under what critics argue was a new interpretation of campaign finance laws. a case like this one has never been tried before and was the first time with john edwards. charlie? >> anna westerner, thank you so much. what was it about this case that the jury didn't buy? >> i think the real problem with

this case all along was the main witness. the main key witness andrew young. i think the government just put too much of its case on one witness and, you know, he was very strong in direct but then in cross examination when he had to admit -- when this whole case was revolving around a little over a million dollars and most of it went to andrew young and then you have none of the other main characters testifying, i just think it was too much reasonable doubt. >> was there a defining moment? >> for me and i think for the jurors obviously was during that cross examination of andrew young. he seemed a broken man. it was -- you just saw him slowly disintegrating and when he had to admit that he spent so much money on piddly things. when he admitted he paid $100,000 for a home theater. another $100,000 for a pool.

you begin to wonder whether he views this entire scandal to enrich himself and the jurors felt the same thing. >> it's almost certain the prosecution will not retry this. >> i think it would be very difficult. number one, this case first came from a republican holdover who is no longer the u.s. attorney. i think they are stuck with this main witness. and from the very beginning, it's very interesting. i tried to do a piece for sunday morning and try to get someone who supported the government's case, i could not find anyone who thought this was a valid prosecution. i really can't see -- i really cannot see the government trying to retry. >> when you look at this case and what happened, does it say something about the difficulty of trying celebrities? >> that's an interesting question. i don't think so. i think the main criticism on these cases is that the justice department seems not to go after the really big tough cases. maybe involving something on wall street. going after some celebrities like roger clemens.

the real problem is the cases are weak and they rely on very broad key witnesses. that was a problem with roger clemens case as well. i think that's really the problem. >> were the defense lawyers confident? did you get a sense you believed they would get this verdict? >> i think they believed in their case very strongly and had a lot of support from other groups. certainly when you had the federal election commission saying that these payments did not have to be listed on financial statements so they were not campaign contributions, i think they believed in their case. i think that they were losing confidence when the judge did not throw out any of the charges at the end of the prosecution's case. i think as the days went on, i think it was very nerve-racking. i think they believed in their case. i don't know how confident they were that they would actually win. i think as you always heard the defense attorneys saying, he's

guilty maybe of moral sins but not of crimes. i think they were very concern. >> this is one more time in which the jury couldn't make the distinction between the two. we don't like this person but he has not in our judgment having listened to the evidence committed a crime. >> absolutely. you know every case like this gives me more faith in jurors. i had so many friends saying he's going to be found guilty. the jurors took their job very seriously. they clearly could separate the man from the actions. and when it came down to it, you didn't have rachel bunny mellon testifying, you didn't have fred barron, you didn't have john edwards, you didn't have rielle hunter. all you had was andrew young. could you trust his word when he made so much money out of this? it was just a reasonable doubt case. that's what i really think it came down to. >> thank you. we'll go now to erica in london. hello. >> charlie, good morning. nice to see you this morning. the u.n. human rights commission

is meeting in geneva today to discuss the growing crisis in syria. the commission is considering charging syria's government with crimes against humanity for last year's massacre in hula. as alex thompson reports from damascus, the government is trying to shift the blame. >> astonishment around the world that the syrian government in damascus is blaming the massacre at hula one week ago in which more than 100 people were killed most of them women and children, armed militia armed with heavy weapons. i can say i myself have personally witnessed heavy weapons being used in hula and those were very much in the hands of the syrian army and authorities and not in the hands of any militias. it's friday and a day of prayer and after prayer there will be demonstrations across this country. the authorities cannot stop that. they do suppress them with

shooting on site is routine and bad enough being shot on the streets by your own government forces but what's worse is if you are shot here in those situations, you cannot get treatment in a hospital because you would be arrested. only way to recover is treatment in a safe house where doctors themselves are putting their life on the line trying to help you. alex thompson, channel 4 news for "cbs this morning," damascus. time to show you headlines from around the globe.

see the transit of venus when it passes the sun looking like a black spot and won't happen again for 105 years. britain is ready to kick off a weekend of celebration for the queen's diamond jubilee. our own erica hill is in london this morning. what's happening? >> hi, charlie. a lot going on as you can imagine. not too long ago we saw changing of the guard which was very cool. just over a year ago we were right here outside buckingham palace celebrating the wedding of prince william and kate middleton. now the duke and duchess of cambridge. today the spotlight -- there they are with the kiss -- is firmly on william's grandmother, 86-year-old queen elizabeth ii will mark 60 years on the throne with a four-day celebration. more than a billion people around the world are expected to watch it on television. just over my shoulder you can see -- you might be able to see a little bit to my left there's a round stage built over the queen's monument in front of the

erica, what do we have from london this half hour? >> good morning, charlie. lots to come. one of the things we saw in the eye opener where we showed this video from 1957. home movies of the royal family. they are making the covers of some of the papers. prince charles and princess ann having fun at the beach. a lot of people talking about that this morning. of course all of the preparations as we kick off this four-day celebration for the diamond jubilee. we'll give you more on queen elizabeth and past 60 years and also the incredible security feat. what it will take to keep everyone safe during that 1,000 boats on the river this weekend. we'll have that for you as well. >> erica, thank you. the race for the white house, mitt romney is telling president obama look at your own business record. on thursday republican nominee to be visited solyndra, the failed solar panel manufacturer that got huge government loans. jan crawford is in los angeles and she had an interview with

romney you'll see only on "cbs this morning." >> reporter: he was in between campaign stops in california with a wide ranging interview. first he's given since he clinched the nomination this week. he says he knows it will be a long, tough six months ahead. he's ready he said. let me tell you what, he was taking on the president. you were pretty tough on the president today talking about solyndra saying it was a serious conflict of interest. do you think the president was corrupt? >> i think it's a conflict of interest of some magnitude to have an administration and a president take taxpayer money, half a billion dollars of taxpayer money, and devote it to a business which is owned by a major campaign contributor. that's a real problem. that's a conflict of interest. this is not a small number. this is $500 million. a half a billion dollars. and in the circumstances if the business were to do well, the president's friends would make a

fortune. the taxpayers, however, get nothing. that's not the way that government ought to be working. >> a lot of americans think the deck is just stacked against them. we've had the facebook ipo recently. jpmorgan. do you think our economic system is fair to the working class and middle class? >> our economic system, which is based upon free enterprise is the only system shown to lift people out of poverty. this for me is about helping middle income people get good jobs with rising incomes. the president thinks that the way to do that is to have government make investments and to have government choose winners and losers or in his case, choose losers. that's not the right way for an economy to work. >> when you were at bain capital, you chose winners and losers and some say when you were at bain capital, it didn't work out so well. what did you learn from some of those disappointments? >> i think being in the business world as i was and having successes and failures teaches you a great deal about how business works.

why companies decide to locate in one place or another, why they decide to hire people. why they decide to let people go. why it is that incomes rise and benefits improve and when they go the other direction why that occurs. that kind of fundamental understanding i think the president is lacking. >> what grade would you give president obama? >> an f. no question about that. >> across the board? >> across the board. >> despite the killing of osama bin laden? >> when i look at foreign policy and look at his decisions across the board in foreign policy, i look at the fact that he was looking to have a force of american troops staying in iraq, securing what has been so hard won there with status of forces agreement he failed to achieve it. i look at what's happening in the middle east. arab spring has become arab winter. that's hardly a success. as i look around the world, i happen to believe that his positions on foreign policy have not communicated american strength and resolve. >> grade on foreign policy?

>> i would give him an f across the board. >> and on the economy? >> f across the board. >> anything above the f that you've seen? >> there are certain areas i saw getting a good thing to do. getting osama bin laden. that's terrific. i appreciate him doing that. i know he's trying but having never had any experience in his life in leadership has made it difficult for him to learn to lead on the job. what's happened in this country is that the people who create jobs have pulled back in part because of the uncertainty created by the obama policies. >> reporter: of course voters everywhere we go, charlie, say that jobs, the economy, those are the issues they care about most and romney has really made that the cornerstone of his campaign. he argues he can turn this economy around. he gave us very specific answers about some of the things that he would do to create jobs in our interview yesterday. of course the obama administration, however, is trying to paint romney as this corporate raider who cares about

profits and not people. that's an issue that you're going to hear over and over for the next six months. >> jan, let me come to what the president has been saying as you just mentioned. how does the romney campaign defend themselves in a solyndra their way of going on the offensive and putting it back in his court? >> reporter: that's a great question. this election is going to turn on the economy and voters don't think the president is handling it well going after romney calling him this corporate raider who is more concerned about profits than people. what we're seeing now is romney is punching back on that. he's countered and using companies like solyndra. i was a businessman. i had a lot of success. i had some failures. president obama cares about profits for his donors. he used campaign loans, this is romney's argument, he used taxpayer loans to invest in companies that would benefit campaign donors and if he said yesterday he thought that was a

serious conflict of interest. the obama campaign is pushing back on that. romney is showing with this that he's going to fight for some of the stuff that we saw in the primary, he's going to punch back hard when he's attacked. >> jan crawford, thank you so much. we go back to erica in london. >> charlie thanks. we're getting ready for what you might call a good show here in england. just ahead, we'll show you what's ahead this weekend. we'll take a look back this morning at queen elizabeth's many accomplishments over the past 60 years. stay with us coming to us from london, washington and new york on "cbs this morning." ♪ ♪ i'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter ♪

transition. >> george, i will always remember the gathering you hosted for all the living former presidents before i took office. your kind words of encouragement, plus you also left me a really good tv sports package. i use it. >> reporter: the audience of bush family members and people from the bush administration watched as portraits of president bush and first lady laura bush were revealed. >> thank you so much for inviting our rowdy friends to my hanging. >> reporter: turning serious momentarily, president bush 43 as he referred to himself paid tribute to his father bush 41 who suffers a mild form of parkinson and arrived in good spirits sporting snappy socks. >> i am honored to be hanging near a man who gave me the greatest gift possible,

economy is their enemy and it's romney's campaign issue. they have to appeal to their base and get them out. >> do they see it as some have suggested this is 2004, in which george bush was running against john kerry, and the roles are reversed in a sense that they got to get their base out and they also have to take down the other guy. is that the way they see it? >> they see it as a methodical step by step campaign. the first part of the campaign was the bain attacks, defining mitt romney, not just as a gordon gekko style business man, but someone who was out of touch with middle class voters. step two we saw them, is talking about mitt romney's record as governor where they say the state debt went up, unemployment went up under him. again that he's not qualified to be president. and then stage three of the campaign will be about after the conventions, after the summer where they'll want to run against the ideas, what obama is proposing for the country and what mitt romney is proposing for the country. on that level, they think they

can beat mitt romney. they say this is going to be a very, very close election. they're worried about the economy. >> but that suggests they want to make it about the future and not a referendum on obama. >> they want to use this early stage of the campaign to define mitt romney and then they want the fall campaign to be a debate about the differences of what they would do for people in america. >> when you look at them, are they confident? do they feel that they can -- >> yeah, they are confident. >> can achieve these goals? >> they feel they can get back the base they had or most of it in

i have to tell you, i love looking at these home moviein movieingses. >> they're great, aren't they, and they've had a wonderful response this morning. they were on a lot of the breakfast shows as they say here in the uk and prom naentsly featured a lot of pictures in the papers this morning. everybody loves that inside look. the queen, of course, has reigned with a steady hand more than half a century, 60 years now, not only earned the respect of her people but also positioned the monarchy for a future many would say now appears brighter than ever. born in london on april 21st, 1926 elizabeth alexandra mary wasn't supposed to be queen, but when her uncle ab doughvated to divorcee wallace simpson she became heir apparent to the british throne. >> i have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility without the help and support of the woman i love.

>> reporter: on her 21st birthday the princess committed herself to public service. >> i declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service. >> reporter: in 1947, princess elizabeth married lieutenant philip mounbatten launching a partnership that has carried her through her reign. >> it was a real remons at the beginning. they were deeply in love. she's never looked at another man. >> reporter: queen elizabeth's coronation was first major international event to be televised. opening up the pageantry and the splendor of the century's old ceremony to the world and also opening up the monarchy to increased scrutiny. >> elizabeth is seen an absolute rock, a fixed point in the history of the monarchy. she has kept it going. but she's also been a obstacle to any kind of change. >> reporter: one of the biggest changes to come under her reign,

divorce. >> as soon as she became queen there wasn't the same room for family and social life and for being a normal wife. >> the windsors of the middle decades of the 20th century were totally wedded to the idea of the normal family. divorce was impossible, but finally like most women with families they accommodate themselves. >> reporter: in 1992 the queen's sons both separated and her daughter divorced that same year a devastating fire ravaged windsor castle on her 45th anniversary. >> the sky aglow above windsor as 1,000 years of history takes flame. >> reporter: capping off a year the queen said she would rather forget. >> 1992 is not a year on which i shall look back with undiluted pleasure. >> reporter: but one of the queen's greatest challenges was to come on the heels of prince charles and princess diana's very public and dramatic divorce.

>> diana, princess of wales has died after a car crash in paris. >> reporter: diana's 1997 death inspired an outpouring of love for the princess and backlash for the queen who remained silent for days before addressing the nation. >> i want to pay tribute to diana myself. she was an exceptional and gifted human being. >> reporter: since then the queen's image has slowly shifted. now the nation's grand matriarch, she has a seemingly softer approach. in 2005, the queen surprised many when she gave her blessing to the marriage of prince charles and his one-time mistress camilla parker-bowles. in the year since the wedding of the duke and duchess of cambridge, the queen seems to be sharing some of her spotlight with a new generation of royals. all while continuing to make history as she did during last year's monumental visit to ireland. the first by a british monarch in a century. >> no one who look to the future over the past centuries could have imagined the strength of

the bonds that are now in place between the governments and people of our two nations. >> reporter: after 60 years on the throne, queen elizabeth is clearly not slowing down. >> the queen is driven by duty. this is her overriding mission and it goes beyond her family and beyond her own comforts and i think beyond her own marriage. >> sir malcolm ross knows the royal household as well as anyone and worked for the queen and prince charles for more than 20 years and dealing with protocol and ceremonial matters and joins us this morning. nice to have you with us this year again. we talked in the piece about the queen's sense of duty. and some have said, many have said actually, they feel that intense sense of duty really comes from what happened with king edward viii's abdication, would you agree with that. >> i would. the queen has devoted herself to service and she did on her 21st birthday and that has been all

through her working life. and she referred to that not too long ago to that broadcast by saying she did not regret or retract one word from it. >> she seems to be in many ways setting up the monarchy for future generations. we see prince charles prominently figured. but the duke and duchess of cambridge will be prominent this weekend. >> wonderfully prominent. she has elected to take them in her procession into westminster abbey for the people for the major service which is a true indication of succession as demonstrated by her. >> how many of these decisions in terms of what's happening this weekend, did the queen make herself? >> she will have approved every aspect of every plan. some may not have come from her own mind originally, but everything would have passed across her desk and she would have discussed it with her advisors to make sure it is up to her standard and conforms with her wishes. >> do you think she's allowed the monarchy to be lenient with their wishes?

we heard from william in this interview he was saying, she said to him when he got the list with over 700 people he didn't know she said tear it up, start with your friends. >> nobody more down to earth than the queen and that's what she will do. she subjectly adjusts everything. >> what is she like when the cameras are off, is she warm? does she crack jokes. >> she is an immensely warm person. she's a family person. immensely proud of her grandchild and now a great grandchild. she has a wonderful sense of humor. she teases and will tease. of course she has to restrict that to times of more or less privacy, but she has a great character and loves using it. >> what do you think she's most looking forward to this weekend? >> i think the darby will be the favorite, number one. >> which is tomorrow. >> which is tomorrow. that will be her first event. she will adore the whole thing. i think she will have a little apprehension about the river

pageant because this is something which hasn't happened for 350 years and she still is nervous about things she hasn't experienced before. that will be beautifully conducted. i'm sure every precaution has been taken to avoid mishap so there will be that, the concert at buckingham palace. we had concerts for the golden wedding not quite in the day we're going to have here but she will be happy and relaxed and enormously appreciative of the goodwill everybody is showing towards her. >> you told me earlier this morning you've seen people preparing for their own celebrations throughout the uk. the message to celebrate is getting through. pleasure to have you back with us this year. thank you. >> thank you indeed. >> our coverage of the queen's jubilee continues tomorrow on "cbs this morning" saturday from our spot here outside buckingham palace. the highs and lows of the queen's remarkable 60-year reign and seth jones revealing interview with prince harry tomorrow on "cbs this morning" saturday. now back to gayle and mo in
