captioning funded by cbs >> welcome to "cbs this morning." it's 7:00 on the west coast. and 3:00 p.m. in london where britain's diamond jubilee weekend is closing with one more day of pageantry and celebration. let's go straight to erica outside buckingham palace this morning. good morning. >> charlie, good morning to you again. the great shots we just saw as we came here on "cbs this morning," that is happening right now as all of these people you see them coming up and they are almost up to the gates of buckingham palace. they are making their way around the queen victoria memorial and you can probably hear excitement and cheers behind me as they hope for a glimpse of the queen and her family on the balcony. quite a shot there. it's a great shot to bring to you. this morning began with a service of thanksgiving at st. paul's cathedral.

queen elizabeth sat next to her son, prince charles, the heir to the throne and his wife camilla. prince well, his wife kate and prince harry also there. later on after lunch the royal family made their way back to buckingham palace by carriage going through the streets of london. thousands of people were there to watch and cheer them on. much of the crowd followed the path of the procession as you just saw down the mall. that's the huge boulevard that leads up to the palace. the queen's husband, prince phillip, is not with her today. officials say he's still in a london hospital being treated for a bladder infection. he was admitted yesterday just before the incredible concert which we saw behind us. also in front of buckingham palace, the jubilee concert from britain's biggest music names performed for the queen. charlie, you were at the concert and then you probably just saw quite a show of everybody going by you. >> reporter: exactly. good morning to you. now here comes the rain.

we're down at the other end and what you're seeing is thousands of people headed in your direction toward buckingham palace waiting for that final wave from the queen and the o royal family. one of the last events of the jubilee following last night's concert when it was exciting and spectacular but had emotional moments too. ♪ live and let die >> for all of the big acts to perform in the jubilee concert, it was the queen's silent pregnancy after the finale that upstaged them all. >> the only sad thing about this evening is that my father couldn't be here with us. because unfortunately he is taken not well. >> prince phillip, the husband the queen calls her rock, missed the show because he had been hospitalized with a bladder infection. >> ladies and gentlemen, if we shout loud enough he might just hear us in hospital.

[ applause ] >> phillip! phillip! >> reporter: a woman not known for showing emotion seemed moved of the support by ticket holders in the stands to tens of thousands who packed the boulevard that leads to the palace. and what a show it was. the artist and acts from kylie minogue to paul mccartney and tom jones to elton john were especially chosen to span the 60 years of her reign. prince william and his wife kate shared the royal box with prince harry at the start of the concert. the queen arrived about a third of the way through suitably dressed to keep out the cold and wearing yellow ear plugs to keep

out at least some of the noise. her house, buckingham palace, not only served as a backdrop but a stage for "madness." the playlist seemed tailored for the queen too. stevie wonder changed a lyric or two to suit her majesty. ♪ isn't she special ♪ a young 86 years old >> reporter: following the show the diamond queen lit the national beacon, the last in a chain of beacons that stretched across great britain and the globe in a traditional sign of unity for the kingdom. after a concert that raised the roof at buckingham palace, the massive firework display that followed just about blew it off. now we're told there was a party at the palace for some of the stars of that concert last night. a few more events today

including the procession passed by here earlier. we were hoping for a fly pass this afternoon depending on the weather but we're told now it's touch and go. >> we will keep our fingers crossed. great stuff. great show last night as you showed us all. we want to get to a better sense of what's happening right behind us here. just while you were hearing from charlie while showing everything that happened last night, we want to show you if we can. we have this video to turnaround. what's happening right behind me at buckingham palace. you see this is just moments ago. the security personnel leading this crowd of people that had come all of the way up that mall where charlie was bringing them up to the gates of buckingham palace and they're going to be up here waiting for the queen to make their way later this afternoon. look at these shots from overhead. it's incredible. all of the people filing in. later today the queen will make her way on the balcony. she'll wave to everyone there and later tonight she'll address

the nation which is rare for the queen to do. quite a big day as the last day of this four-day celebration continues here in london. we'll have more for you coming from london and buckingham palace a bit later in the show. let's hand it back turnover to charlie rose in new york. >> erica, thanks. now to politics, the polls are open in wisconsin. voters decide whether to throw governor scott walker out of office. it was after he decided to end collective bargaining rates for state workers. the race has drawn national attention. in the race for the white house, president obama and former president clinton were side by side last night raising millions of dollars. bill plante is at the white house. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning and good morning in the west. it started out as a rocky relationship. this matchup between the new contender and the former champ but they've grown to appreciate one another. in new york last night, they appeared together. the two biggest stars in the

democratic party. >> it is good to be back on broadway. >> reporter: president obama shared the stage and the spotlight with former president bill clinton. almost 12 years out of office, his reputation now bathed in nostalg nostalgia. >> i don't think it's important to re-elect the president, i think it's essential to re-elect the president. >> making the rounds of high dollar fundraisers in new york, one highlighted by rocker jon bon jovi, they raised more than $3 million for the re-election campaign. mr. obama responded with heartfelt thank you mm. things haven't always been so cordial. in 2008, when hillary clinton was battling then senator barack obama for the democratic nomination, the relationship was tense.

her husband, the former president, repeatedly questioned obama's readiness to be president. >> when's the last time we elected a president based on one year of service in the senate before he started running. >> reporter: the one-time icy relationship settled into a marriage of convenience. with hillary clinton's future in politics still a possibility, bill clinton needs to be a friend to all democrats and president obama knows that clinton could reach out effectively to voters as he did in this recent campaign video talking about the president's decision to take out osama bin laden. >> i thought to myself, i hope that's the call i would have made. >> reporter: fund-raising on monday, both men took turns hitting mitt romney although president obama temporarily forgot which romney he was targeting. george romney. wrong guy. governor romney. >> reporter: there's more. the campaign lined up clinton for a third major fund-raiser and online they are raffling off

a dinner with the two presidents. does clinton sometimes get off message? sure but team obama tells us we benefit any time he's out there. also in washington, john dickerson. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> how important is bill clinton to president obama's re-election? >> he's about as important as a surrogate can be for a candidate. he can't sway the election but he's obviously beloved within the democratic party. he can raise money and rally troops and he has a natural political instinct which means he can coin a phrase or lay out an attack line the president never could and it's the kind of thing that could get passed along from voter to voter in conversation. of course as bill mentioned, he's also sort of a big st. bernard bounding around the political landscape saying what he wants and it's difficult for the obama team to quiet him down if he says something that might be slightly off message. >> the two things he seems to be saying, number one, and i like your reaction to this, is that

they ought to stop focusing on the past and simply focus on the future and lay out how obama in the next four years will be different from romney if he's elected in his four years. >> that's right. in a recent interview the president sent that message. he's been sending it internally but he said it out loud. stop attacking governor romney's past record and start talking about how ideologically these two matchup. he said if you do that and tell people about what the future would look like, that's what you should do to make the pitch to voters. when he said that out loud, it's about as strong a memo as you can put out there in public. >> bill clinton's political instincts are as good as anybody in the democratic party, aren't they? >> that's right. he thinks that's certainly the case too. there are folks in chicago who would say, hey, we have a game plan here and operates at many different levels. you cause a bit of a message

problem by making a story particularly when bill clinton said that bain was not a company you shouldn't say whether it was a bad company, that was a problem. it was yet another democrat saying that. that kind of put the story on that opposed to other things the obama campaign wanted to talk about. >> let's look at wisconsin for a moment. some people might want to read too much into it. what will you read into it if the governor is re-elected so to speak? >> i want to see what mitt romney does. i talking to the anti-tax advocate and he said that governor romney should take campaign offices that scott walker opened and make them romney offices. go to wisconsin and run hard there. we'll see if he does that. it's a battleground state and wisconsin has been a lab test for the last year for both parties. so they can test the turn out vote efforts in a way they haven't been able to in any other state. so what have they learned?

were they able to target voters and use new techniques that they fell in love with and were they beneficial in this race? >> john dickerson, thank you. we now go back to erica in london. erica? >> charlie, thank you. u.s. officials say they are optimistic a cia drone attack has killed al qaeda's number two man. ab you yayia alalliy. they are expelling diplomats in retaliation for last year's decision in those countries. we go to the capital of damascus this morning. good morning. >> reporter: two of the armed rebel opposition groups have now said that they are no longer going to abide by the terms of

the annan peace plan because the government is not respecting the cease-fire. one of them called for concerted attacks on the capital damascus which has been until now relatively stable. in the online video that's been posted by opposition activists over the past 48 hours, it does appear that the number of attacks against soldiers and their heavy equipment is on the increase. it's not clear what this is going to do to the united nations military observers. we were out with them this morning. they went to one of the suburbs of damascus that has seen heavy fighting and they seemed to be operating normally but so far they have declined to comment officially on what is in effect a declaration of war. for "cbs this morning," i'm elizabeth palmer in damascus. >> california voters face a major decision today. whether the state should raise the cigarette tax by a dollar a pack. the ballot issue raises serious

questions about cigarettes and how the state government spends its money. as john blackstone reports, the tobacco companies are fuming. >> reporter: california has been a national leader in laws limiting smoking in public places and even inside pardon me. >> prop 29 is flawed. >> reporter: the no on prop 29 campaign turned the vote into a squeaker by spending more than $40 million. most of it from tobacco companies. >> they ran a good campaign. the question is will they push that number below 50%. i don't know. >> reporter: cigarette companies point out the money raised would go to cancer research and not to help fix california's budget problems. keith park. >> not a single dollar goes to reducing our gigantic budget deficit and helping our public

education. >> reporter: with donations across the country including from tour de france winner lance armstrong and new york mayor michael bloomberg, yes on 29 raised just $29 million. only 12% of california's now spoke and the new tax would drive that even lower. >> smoking may simply vanish as a public behavior. that is why philip morris and reynolds are so hysterical trying to stop 29. it could be a game changer. >> reporter: with an expected low voter turnout today, california's few smokers could make all of the difference on the fate of this cigarette tax. for "cbs this morning," john blackstone, san francisco. >> it's time to show you some of the morning's headlines from around the globe. "wall street journal" reports the cia is preparing to cut its operations in iraq to less than half of wartime levels at its height the cia station if baghdad was agency's largest with more than 700 agency

john miller, former national deputy of intelligence. >> good morning, charlie. >> who is to blame? >> this is clearly a straight up leadership issue. every airport has a federal security director. that's the person who is in charge of the overall security picture for the entire airport. that means everything from the perimeter fencing to the police operations and how that meshes with the buyer operations to the screeners. but most directly the screeners. this is a clear instance where you have a federal security director who was not out there on the line every day looking. when i was in los angeles, we had larry fedders, the federal security director of lax. it's a huge airport. i couldn't go to lax day or night, he must have had an apartment upstairs and slid down on a pole, he was omni present.

but the screeners know that. when they're not doing things like secondary screening, it's because the boss and deputy aren't are on the line. >> there are those who look at this as one more incident and say we really need to shake up tsa. >> i don't want to put my federal hat on here but this is kind of the curse of government which is if you ignore the scandal until they boil over, that's one consequence. on the other hand, if you police yourself -- tsa got a tip. this is a good news/bad news thing. the good news is they cleaned up their own mess. the bad news is once you do that it goes public and you take a beating for it. they got a tip from one of their own employees. then they do an audit. you can put people on the line and watch who is doing what. are they doing the secondary screening and random? or you see those little balls on the ceiling, there's cameras in there. they can just audit videotapes and look at hundreds or thousands of encounters.

facebook shares lost another 3% on wall street monday. the stock prices now falling 29% since facebook went public. >> on friday another group of investors filed a lawsuit

claiming that facebook with important information about its revenues. you are author of "facebook effect." easy for me to say. there's a cynical matter of fact culture of wall street and that clash is uncomfortable for both sides so far. >> this is about the stock offering and all of that. it has nothing to do with fundamental values and operational values. >> they are connected in that all of the coverage on facebook has moved to the financial pages and that changes the way everybody looks at everything about this company but has the

company's fundamental performance changed? no. i think that may be part of the problem that they were so committed and have been so committed and zuckerberg is so committed to not changing the way he operates the business because of going public that wall street is essentially demanding that that not be the case. gayle and i were talking before about why hasn't the company made any public statements? i would have preferred they at least said something. i think everyone out there who p pays attention to finance would have had some reassurance. >> he was on his honeymoon. anything would have been interesting to hear. anything he had to say. let's talk recently the announcement about opening up facebook to kids under the age of 13. i was thinking not a good idea for kids under the age of 13. >> they didn't announce anything. this coverage of facebook is so pervasive that a report emerged they are thinking about it. they have clearly been thinking about it.

zuckerberg mentioned that he would like to eventually do it. >> is it a good idea? >> i think it's inevitable that younger people will have to be legitimatized on facebook. as many as 10 million american kids under 13 are already on facebook. the majority of them according to many surveys with parents' active permission. some parents are helping them set up profile which is probably a good thing. that's what facebook wants. create a system where parents could have more active oversight. kids will be on facebook. everybody wants to be part of this phenomenon and if you were 12, believe me, the chances you would be on facebook are way, way high. >> high. >> you have to find it a way to make it safe for those kids. it's not easy to know. there are laws that prevent kids from being on facebook without their parents' permission and they have to find a way around that and they're trying. >> so how would the company change in light of this? >> how will it change? >> i don't mean in terms of what

you just said but will they get more aware of a responsibility of a public company? >> they have to. there's no question. it's a learning process they're going through now and because one single person has total and complete control, it's hard for that person to adapt quickly enough. >> let's hear now from erica in london one last time before we go. >> before i come back to see you all. it's been a great trip here. we want to point out something not common i guess is the best way to put it. 6:00 local time the queen is going to address the nation. she speaks to the nation every year in an annual christmas address but she does not come out and comment on things that happen on a regular basis. there's a lot of attention being paid to this particular address wondering what she will say. we'll look at that later today. it's been a great trip here. incredible crew in the london bureau and all of the folks we brought with us. they have done us right. we'll see you guys on thursday. >> hurry back and bring your
