as to job creators. >> washington plays the blame game as the world economy shows new signs of weakness. >> major sell-off for stocks overseas and signs that -- wall street opens today. >> over the past 27 months, we have created 4.3 million private sector jobs. >> may have created over 4.3 million jobs but the country is still not back to where it needs to be. he is booked and processed as per judge lester's orders. >> george zimmerman is held in isolation this morning after his return to the seminole county jail. >> it's a credibility question. now he is going to have to rehabilitate him. it is a horrific scene this morning in nigeria's largest city after a jetliner slammed into the city on sunday. >> the death toll is expected to be much higher. they came together in london to pay tribute to her majesty,
7:02 am
the queen. that is the "enterprise" has gone where no space shuttle has ever gone before -- to new jersey. >> richard dawson the affectionate host of "family feud" has died. they say he kissed almost 20,000 women. >> tonight i'll keep my eye peeled for my next wife. >> miss usa 2012 is miss rhode island! >> all that matters. >> get in! >> go in. go in. it is in! >> nicklaus and woods side-by-side now on the overall victory list on "cbs this morning." >> do you think you're back? >> well, i won. captioning funded by cbs welcome back. mitt romney and his supporters hit the campaign trail hard over the weekend. attacking president obama's
7:03 am
economic policies after friday's weak jobs report. >> this morning, financial markets in europe and asia are falling again after friday's big drop on wall street. the president is not only facing new economic trouble at home, but he also has to deal with europe's growing debt crisis which, of course, he can't control. bill plante is at the white house. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning in the west. the dismal job numbers on friday were a hard blow to the president's campaign because he reminds everybody just how far the economy has to go to recover. and there is only a three or four-month window now before a lot of voters pretty much decide what they are going to do in november. those numbers as a sign that the president can't deliver what he has promised. romney told supporters, quote, if there is movement it's not because of the president it's in spite of him and other republicans hammered home that message. >> the problem is this administration and this president, policies are hostile to job creators.
7:04 am
>> this president came into office without any prior experience running anything. >> he's a president who is in love with the sound of his own voice but hasn't been able to follow thu on too many promises. >> reporter: on the news friday that last month's unemployment rate ticked up to 8.2% and the knowledge no president has won re-election when unemployment is higher than 7.4%, president obama's campaign is trying to shift the blame in a moment when there are no easy answers. on "face the nation" chief strategist david axelrod opened calling members architects of obstruction who need to step up and step in. >> instead of high fiving each other on days when there are bad news, they should stop sitting on their hands and work on some of these answers. >> reporter: the president had the same message in his weekly address. >> my message to congress is let's get to work. it's not lost on anybody that this is an election year, but we have got responsibilities that
7:05 am
are bigger than an election. >> reporter: republicans say the president's proposal which include several tax reforms won't change the trajectory of the economy but also politics at play. the republican-rolled house is unlikely to do anything to help the president. some members mare 1996 when bill clinton was running for re-election and cut a deal with republicans. he looks like a leader at the expense of his republican challenger bob dole. clinton has better urged the president to better explain his accomplishments. >> i think if we get that out i think he'll be fine and i think he'll be reelected. >> reporter: clinton was a public signal to president obama campaign to change course. clinton, obviously, believes that the president's attacks on romney are a mistake and that he needs emphasize what he would do in a second term. the president and the former president are appearing together tonight at a fund-raiser in new york city so clinton may have a chance to make his argument.
7:06 am
charlie? >> bill plante, thank you, in washington. democratic strategist and former democratic national chairman terry mcauliffe, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. how are you? >> i'm well. good to have you here. >> tell me whether blaming others will get the president elected? >> i think it's important, first of all, for president obama is, as they have done to get their record out of there. we have had 27 months of job growth. remember, a economy was losing 750,000 jobs a month. the auto industry is back. president obama and their team saved the auto industry. best may we have ever seen in the auto industry. things are moving the right direction albeit we have to create nor jobs but we are creating jobs and have to continue. congress has on to get on the ball and the president has put a lot of common sense proposals out there and they are not paying attention and doing politic and we have to get together in this country. >> terry, i just saw david axelrod and stephanie cutter blaming the congress rather than talking about the president. >> well, clearly president obama and the team and all of us have
7:07 am
been out there talking about president -- accomplishments and the -- this is going to -- clear choice election. romney economics look what he did in massachusetts under job creation they became 47th out of 50 states. he raised taxes and fees a thousand times. he took the debt up. he increased state spending every year by over 6%. there is a clear contrast. that is sort of economic policies that got us into the mess. president obama is now leading and we are moving in the right direction. we are created jobs for 27 straight months. let's not forget that in a very tough world economy, you see what is happening in greece and spain and what is going on all over the world, it's a tough time to be commander in chief and the president is out there with the right proposals to keep this economy moving and let's go forward, not backwards. >> you're close to president clinton, former president clinton. he seems to be saying to president obama you have to explain things better and only by doing that, will you be one-on-one with the voters. >> well, sure, it's important to
7:08 am
talk about what you have done and i think it's very important to lay your track record and we are very proud of the record that president obama has. also lay out where you want to take this country and i think the president has consistently done that. i think the one thing that bothers most americans today and we are all very concerned about are the super pacs the hundreds of millions of dollars that come in and you don't know who is putting the money behind them and what they are going to say and damaging for a democracy. we have to lay the courses why we need to move forward with president obama. i am very confident about where we are today and that we are going to win again. look. i look in virginia and you just heard the republican governor head of the republican governors association he came on television saying, yep, the money we got under the federal government under president obama balanced our government and saved thousands of jobs. people understand it but we have to continue to lay those markers out. >> you follow global economics. you know europe is looking worse. they cannot come to some agreement. most people believe that will have an impact on the u.s. economy.
7:09 am
we saw the job numbers coming out last friday. if the economic news does not get better, how difficult will it be for the president to get reelected? >> well, clearly, charlie, you like to run for re-election. anyone in politics would like to have great economic numbers. i make the argument we have excellent numbers on job creation and continued to do it but we could -- we don't know. we see what is happening over in europe today. issues as it relates to iran. there is very difficult signals throughout the world. i said rather keep us moving in the direction with a president who has dealt with the worst economics when he became president losing 750,000 jobs a month and our economy about to go over the clip-of-cliff and president obama got us back from the brink and helped us create jobs so my point would be we saw what the prps did when they controlled the government. if you look at the last 24 years, 12 democrats, 12 years of republicans, it was bill clinton who came in from a recession from the first president bush and got us great economic movement. you have president obama who
7:10 am
came in after second bush and another huge recession. thee choices are clear. the democrats get the economic engine of this economy moving forward. romney economics we saw what did he in massachusetts. they went backwards on job creation. we are moving forward. let's keep it going. >> to have you here. thank you very much. >> thank you. as terry said and we talked about growing concern that europe's economic woes are dragging down the american economy. down to erica hill in london. a look at the situation there. >> thank you, charlie. while thesy is in the mood to intra celebrate right now they say the queen's jubilee gives them a chance to take a break from the growing financial crisis. the problem is the u.s. may not be far behind with the latest unemployment numbers out on friday and raising fears of another recession. this time a potential downturn isn't expected to come from the housing market but could originate right here. a little rain couldn't dampen the diamond jubilee celebrations
7:11 am
in london but the dark economic clouds gathering across europe have many worried, especially in the u.s. on friday, disappointing jobs numbers sent stocks into a tail spin. the dow down 275 points. its biggest drob since november. world markets followed with steep losses in europe and amid growing fears of another global economic downturn led by europe's instability. >> europe got it together with all of us. without that, the united states struggled to pull through on even its 1.9% gdp. >> reporter: with unemployment at 11%, the highest since 1999, most of the euro zone is in some form of financial crisis. greece is facing potential bankruptcy. and banishment from the european union and more american companies are scaling back. ge's ceo recently said europe will be a, quote, smaller part of the company going forward. >> right at the moment, it's really getting very difficult to
7:12 am
be confident. >> reporter: when prime minister david cameron took office in 2010, his coalition government announced sweeping austerity measures, cutting nearly 500,000 public sector jobs and raising the retirement age and sparking massive protests. today, britain is in a double-dip recession. but there was little talk of that in london this weekend. >> britain celebrates the queen in grand style. a chance to forget about the economy for a few days. when it's all over wednesday morning are, the reality is more like a hangover. >> reporter: with the economy dipping back to a recession was there any concern about the celebration? >> i think british people are very good at understanding the difficulties that a country and an economy can face when you've got this debt problem and debt issues all over the world. there really is something to celebrate. we really do. >> reporter: celebrating the queen is one thing. finding a reason to celebrate the economy isn't nearly as
7:13 am
obvious. we should point out that the markets are closed in london both today and tomorrow for those bank holidays for the jubilee so we will look more what happened on wednesday morning here. we will bring you more of our interview with prime minister david cameron next hour. this morning, officials in lagos nigeria fear the crash of a jet airliner will raise. it crashed into an apartment building on sunday afternoon as it was trying to land. the crew had just reported engine problems. all 153 people on board were killed but officials fear many people on the ground also lost their lives. in his first speech since january, syrian president bashar assad defended his government's crackdown off his opponent but denied responsibility for last month's ms. custom-- massacre t killed more than a hundred in houla. >> a speech in damascus isn't an
7:14 am
unusual event and it's clear the regime is affected in one sense by international pressure. because president assad went out of his way to talk about the terrible events in houla and blamed it on terrorism. now when the regime talks about terrorists what they mean is the opposition, the rebels. now we were the first journalists to get into houla immediately after those terrible events in which 108 people were killed most of them women and children. everybody we spoke to across that town squarely blamed the event not on terrorists or what they called armed militia which she insist on controlled by president assad's regime. not only that, they pointed us to villages just outside houla to the west where they said the armed militia had come from. yesterday, we were the first journalists to visit those villages. the u.n. haven't been there yet in terms of their investigation into these events. we found no evidence of any
7:15 am
militia. what the people there told us was that those terrible events just after the -- in which all of those people were massacred were nothing more than tribal score settling between different families in houl arngsa. you have finger pointing and blame going on here which perhaps you might expect in any civil war. alex thompson, channel 4 news for cbs news. a special election in wisconsin tomorrow and the impact could be felt in november. voters will decide whether to recall a governor who became an enemy of labor unions and a hero to the tea party by cutting back collective bargaining rights for state employees. as dean reynolds reports, money and activists are currently pouring into wisconsin from both sides. >> reporter: one more day to go before wisconsin voters put an end to this dispute, at least for now.
7:16 am
>> you got to go, baby, scott walker. hit the road! don't come back no more, no more, no more! >> reporter: republican governor scott walker's policies have proven divisive but the results please those who stand with him. >> for the first time in a long time it's actual taxes went down. no, not for everybody but they did go down. >> reporter: cutting taxes but also cutting spending on things like education. diminishing the power pay of subsector unions and adding 30,000 jobs. former president bill clinton has campaigned for tom barrett, walker's opponent, while walker has had help from fellow governors. charles franklin, a pollster at marquette university school of law says the rational is clear. >> this seems to be a big deal nationally. why is that? >> i think the real reason is the issues go across the boards. these are parochial wisconsin
7:17 am
issues. >> reporter: that helps explain why walker has raised $60 million since april 24th and two-thirds of that money is from out of state donors. all told, almost 64 million has been spent on the race and it's close. >> close enough that the turnout could make all of the difference on tuesday. >> reporter: both sides are energized. while 2.1 million people voted in the election walker won in 2010, experts foresee as many as 2.8 million participating in this go-round. for "cbs this morning," i'm dean reynolds in chicago. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe.

7:32 am
>> reporter: zimmerman will live alone for the foreseeable future in a 67 square foot jail can, separated from the jail's general population for his own safety. >> mr. zimmerman can't sit back -- >> reporter: last friday judge lester revoked zimmerman's bond. the judge believed the murder defendant and wife misled him never mentioning their online defense fund had raised 135. >> he can't obtain the benefits of a lower bond or circumstances based upon material falsehoods. >> reporter: ordered release of state evidence kept from the public because of sensitivity concerns. it could include original interviews to police about shooting trayvon martin and jailhouse phone records advance scripts of conversations between zimmerman and his wife shelly. prosecutors claim the couple talked in encoded language about transferring money from onlined defense fund and convinced judge lester the zimmermans lied to him. mark o'meara is zimmerman's

lawyer. >> credibility question with mr. zimmerman and the credibility's been attacked or tarnished and now he has to rehabilitate it. that's up to him. >> if judge lester grants the motion for a bond hearing zimmerman could have explaining to do. he'll be asking for the benefit of the doubt from a judge who feels lied to. >> thank you. if the judge refused a new bail equest zpim could stay in jail until trial. we speak with his attorney. good morning. >> good morning. >> there seems to be in the way you expressed some tension between you and your client. is there? >> no, no tension. there was frustrations with realizing that what was truly believe an oversight or at least a mistake that they made has truly come to bear on mr. zimmerman directly with his incarceration. >> not only the fact he's got to go gak to jail but his
7:34 am
credibility in terms of what he says? >> absolutely. i think the family made a mistake ity it was out of fear, frustration with having the life turned upside down and not having a good level of trust they were dealing with but realized it was a mistake, they look forward to the opportunity of clearing that up with judge lester. >> explain what you mean. family, what? they thought they didn't have to do this or they thought they'd be misrepresented what? >> i truly want that explanation to go directly to the person who deserves it, judge lester. not to sound coy, my understanding is that the family put upon with being thrown out of their house, their jobs, their schools, other family members in hiding for whatever protect some money for a very uncertain future. i think now they realize that they should have trusted judge lester and the process to work with them fairly, even if not treated fairly in the past and i think they'll clear that up with judge lester.
7:35 am
>> you understand and appreciate the fact the judge did the right thing in putting him back to jail. >> judge lester gave us all a strong signal that he and he alone would run the courtroom and everyone's going to tell the truth. i'm certain all witnesses who will come in front of judge lester had better tell the truth and nothing but the truth to be treated fair. >> i what will you say him at the bond hearing? >> i think the zimmerman family needs to apologize to the court for not having given him full information and ask the court to rely on the fact mr. zimmerman has, but for this event, treated the court fairly, treated the system fairly, he surrendered himself now twice, he of course voluntarily given the police department all of statements they've wanted, he's involved himself in whatever testing the state has wanted or the defense has wanted. i think he's doing everything they should do. i think they were acting out of fear and frustration but they don't have that luxury. > thank you for joining us this morning.

7:40 am
here in london,another busy day of celebrations, the skies at buckingham palace. we're at potter's field, rain has begun. diamond jubilee marking queen elizabeth's 60 years on the throne. more than 1 million people lined the banks of the thames river, braving nasty weather to watch a display of pageantry fit for a queen. mark phillips is with us, braving it on the water yesterday. >> you might have thought that a
7:41 am
us boats and a million people would have been enough of a celebration for one queen, but you'd be wrong. a four-day weekend, a four-day celebration and not just here. ♪ long to >> reporter: not only is the celebration of the queen's jubilee going on for days, it's going on around the world. this bond fire beacon is one of many lit today in all of the countries of which the queen is head of state. she, herself, once presumably warms from her tree veils of yesterday, will speak in london after another series of events. but everybody's still talking about the great river pageant that will be remembered as being a british a celebration as you could possibly have about royalty, nostalgia, tradition, and terrible weather. nothing harkes back to the days of glory when britannia ruled the waves of a river like a thousand boats and the queen on
7:42 am
a royal barge at the head of them, this being 21st century, the royal barge was a converted river cruiser made fit for the queen, but it's the thought that counts. >> we don't mind. we have trousers, capes, food. we've got -- we have got good company. >> reporter: boy do they have company. the crowd would stretch for mile as long the river bank and across its bridges with estimated well over a million. and if the weather was cold and wet, so much the better for demonstrating the quality the brsh so admire in themselves and their queen, pluck. >> this page enwas a british event even down to the weather. there had been one like it, 50 years, and it's been at least that long until there's another. enspirration for the pageant came from an old painting of this river pageant in the 1700s. the river thames was then london's main street. and for a day, it was again.
7:43 am
this celebration was about creating nostalgia for the future and it supplied images galore. this four-day celebration is taking many forms. nothing would take this queen away from the biggest horse race. so epson darby day conveniently folded into the weekend's event. for those not able to get to the big festivities, there have been hundreds of small ones, street parties held across the land. but what people will be talking about was this -- the lasting image of an 86-year-old woman standing in the rain, watching the boats go by, and returning the tribute of her people. so the jubilee pageant, the jubilee horse race, the jubilee street parties, tonight the jubilee concert, the jubilee picnics and tomorrow the jubilee church service. had enough yet? >> no. i would like more, mark phillips. the weather here, i loved it in
7:44 am
your piece, you said the weather was very british which is the assessment of everyone yesterday, it was not a bag deal, you're made to do this if you're british. >> almost added to oat indication, in fact, this idea of through thick and thin, carrying on regardless and that kind of thing. i thought the weather would keep the crowds lower, below estimates but not so. it was quiting. what was it like? there's a spectacle on the river which had to have been incredible, also as cold and wet as i imagine. >> colder and wetter than you imagined. but we were all warmed of course by her majesty's presence. it was, for all that happened and all of the weather that happened and what have you, it's one of the things that people will be talking about, if it had been a bright, sunny day it would have been nice. the fact it was a lousy day made it even more of an event, people braved it, came out, had a good time. >> the queen stood the entire ride, wouldn't go inside or have a cup of tea, i'm told. >> never sat down. >> mark, good to see you in
7:45 am
person. one person watching all of these events closely is london's mayor, boris johnson. they made the trip down the thames yesterday with members of the royal family. we caught up with him before he boarded the boat for a little history lesson. recently said that the monarchy is a great unifier for the nation. for people in the u.s. give us context. >> in 1776 you made the tragic mistake of deciding to dispense with the sovereign, that was the way america close to go. i do think it's fascinating the idea of a constitutional monarchy remains successful and it's something that brings people together, the monarchy's above politics. she simply incarnates the nation, the history of the nation, unifies the country, she gives people a point of contact with their history. >> in our next
7:46 am
there is no shortage of praise for queen elizabeth ii. this morning, we'll ask prime minister david cameron why he admires her majesty so much. you're watching "cbs this morning." why should i try it?
