7:09 am
more than 50,000 people head to tampa for the republican nam convention. david bernard is chief meteorologist of our miami station, cbs 4. he is joining us once again. david, what is the latest? >> reporter: well, good morning. we have the very latest on tropical storm isaac. and indeed the storm is stronger than it was last night. the very latest from the hurricane center shows those winds have increased from 45 to 50 miles per hour. the movement is west at 15. and we think the storm is going to move across the haitian peninsula of cuba and then towards south florida late sunday night and early monday morning as a tropical storm. but it very well might be a hurricane at that point. and the forecast is on monday, into early tuesday morning, as it makes its closest approach to the tampa area, that in fact it could be a hurricane, and that northwest movement will likely continue as we go into central florida early on wednesday morning. now the reason we think this storm has potential to
7:10 am
strengthen as it moves towards the keys and the west coast of florida, including tampa, is high ocean fuel that's very warm water temperatures. and that's going to provide the energy to make isaac potentially a very strong storm in the gulf of mexico. that's a trend we're going to watch real carefully. >> thank you, david bernard. manuel is in tampa keeping an eye on storm preparations there. manuel, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you and good morning to our viewers in the west. officials here are no strangers to hurricanes and they also knew one could strike during the convention. so they planned for that exact theyrio at a drill back in may. this morning they say they are more than ready. isaac may be barrelling through the caribbean, but with its track heading west, republicans say they are confident it won't crash their party. >> i'm a betting person, and i bet there's less than a 10% chance it hits tampa hard. % ll take those odd says. think we're going to be fine. hiteporter: the last time a hurricane directly hit tampa was
7:11 am
in 1921, but all the city needs is a brush with isaac to feel andimpact. ot a big's just a wind and rain reat, it's not a big deal. what you really worry about here youidal surge. opertyat's where, you know, you get the loss of property and the toential loss of life. >> reporter: tampa, with water to its south and west, is prone to storm surge. back in june, tropical storm debby flooded roadways and knocked out power to thousands. the rnc is taking place smack in the middle of a zone that could be evacuated if tides rise above eet.eet. cials als say some bridges could be shut down if winds exceed 40 miles per hour. impa possibly impacting delegates staying on the other side of tampa. >> at this point, we are just ingitoring and tracking it. and we are more focused on preparations for the rnc than we offon storm preparations. >> reporter: more than 3,500 ders fro and first responders from around the state are oxpected in tampa but they may hat hap stay in their own
7:12 am
jurisdictions. an't mappens if because of the storm they can't make it here to wep you? >> we will basically be able to pull personnel from other cause.cted areas in the state to cans st that cause. ide toorter: republicans say there could be one up side to the stormy weather. >> >> we might have some rain next week, and hopefully it will keep mean protesters away. >> reporter: the official roll call vote to nominate mitt romney is scheduled to happen on monday. gop leaders are keeping a close eye on the storm's activity to make sure that can go on as planned. ultimately, it's the republican national committee which will hether whether to cancel or postpone any of the events here in tampa. >> manuel, thank you so much. it csaac could impact the first roll calts of the convention as we've been saying. roll call is set for monday. s a convention convenes tuesday. john dickerson is already in tampa. ing, morning, john. hat arerter: good morning, charlie. havehat are the repercussions if ter: we they have to cancel monday? >> reporter: well, it's not treat. eak.know, that's the night that
7:13 am
eady amney was going to speak. the campaign was already a little irritated because the networks aren't covering that this beght. rtant anthe beginning. but it's also very important. ann romney is a new way to look t mitt romney. sart of what this convention is about is reintroducing the candidate. so in a way because they were angry about being shut out of ghe networks, if everything got oved to another day, perhaps they could actually get some be the overage of ann romney. but that would be the one course,of having to cancel onday night. but then of course you'd have a am-up of all the other things they were trying to put on. >> so what's the challenge for mitt romney coming into this convention? >> reporter: the challenge for mitt romney is to reintroduce himself to voters. we've seen consistently in polls that he has what pollsters call a likability problem. people just don't know him. they in several polls, people who think he's unlikable, is greater than those who think he's likeable. so he has to reintroduce
7:14 am
himself. otersvoters some way to connect with him. to c but not overdo it. not do something that seems sort of, you kno, produced by hollywood. he has to be who he is. but again, create that new introduction for voters. >> and what's the race -- how is >> how in race shaping up for him in rnorida? ht hurthere was some concern that ryan might hurt him with the florida voters. >> it's tight in florida. the most recent polls show that basically tied with president obama, a little bit of a lead. but right on the margin of error. what the polls have shown is s do not different things. proposado not like the medicare now, the proposal, that mitt romney and now his running mate paul ryan have put forward. but they like paul ryan. two. they don't do is connect the two. is cer obama campaign is certainly going to be trying to connect the two. his e was a pew poll out this week that shows that voters fork that the voucher plan, ass premium support plan for medicare, almost many people as preit's president obama's plan, which it isn't at all, as
7:15 am
associated with paul ryan. >> all right. john dickerson, thank you. we are following breaking news in new york city. police are investigating a multiple shooting near the empire state building. it happened about one hour ago. john miller has been talking with his police sources. john, what do we know? >> we know that at least five people have been shot around the empire state building at 34th street and 5th avenue. gayle, you know this is one of the most crowded intersections on the planet. it's a big tourist location. and it happened right around 9:00 when it is extraordinarily congested. we also believe that the gunman himself has been killed. we saw in the footage a body facedown, handcuffed by police, and then under a sheet. so that apparently is the person behind the shooting. >> does it appear to be random or do we not know at this time? >> well, there's a lot of concern there because of the empire state building's iconic status as a landmark, the
7:16 am
potential for terrorism. but what we're being told right now from our sources is that this appears to be a work related incident. violence in the workplace. a disgruntled employee who was angry with others and opened fire. i caution this information is preliminary, and in the early moments of these things that information will often change. but that is what it appears to be right now. >> so when you have this kind of thing happen, how do they go and find out where it is in terms of the motive and in terms of, you know, consequences? >> well, i mean, if there's anything fortunate about a circumstance like this, it's what it is and where it is. it's right in the heart of manhattan. you have the midtown south detective squad. these are people with vast experience in major cases. they will come to the scene. they will first gather the iateesses they have there. di john miller reporting on a shooting around the empire state building. there is new information ,his morning about the suspect

[ laughter ] >> compelling. every time i see that, it cracks me up. welcome back to "cbs this morning." that clip from "anchorman" showed how excited some anchormen can get over giant pandas. i can assure you, it will never happen to charlie rose. >> but there's excitement building in washington, where a
7:31 am
baby panda could be on the way. bill klein is at the national zoo. bill, good morning. >> how excited are you, bill? >> reporter: good morning. there's the daddy. we hope. and i don't know whether you wanted me to react with him like they did in "anchorman" but i can tell you this much. it's been 40 years since china made the gift a first time of a pair of pandas to the u.s. it was a sign of warming relations between the two countries. and these days, they are on loan and we pay for the privilege. but the smithsonian's national zoo and three others have a collection of 12 of these bears, and soon there may be 13. >> good girl. >> reporter: early warning for pandamania. the national zoo's female panda may be pregnant, but it will take 40 days or so to be sure, and the suspense is building because this may be the poor thing's last chance. if she doesn't reproduce, she could be shipped back to china and replaced by a younger, more
7:32 am
fertile female. nicole mccork ill is the panda's keeper. >> certainly our fingers are crossed. having worked with her for so long, i'd hate to see her go. >> reporter: and so would the 2 million annual visitors to the panda exhibit. it seems that pandas aren't that good at breeding in captivity. and since the two came here in 2000, they have had just one cub, and seven false alarms. >> neither one of them had breeding experience when they got here. and then on top of that, the females are only really fertile for 24 to 48 hours. so it's really important that all efforts are concentrated in that time. >> reporter: what's more, sad to say, the male doesn't seem to have a clue how to mate. flawed technique, in the words of one observer, and so the zoo resorted to artificial insemination. so the news that she is beginning to act pregnant, building a nest in her den, has gotten everyone here excited.
7:33 am
the pand as here at the national zoo and all of the other breeding pairs of pandas here in the u.s. are originally from china. they are the current generation of what came to be known 40 years ago as panda diplomacy, part of the first thaw in the cold war between the u.s. and china. >> we see mao greeting the president in what appears to be his study or library. >> reporter: the thaw began in 1972, when hard line anti-communist president richard nixon opened the door to china, and the u.s. began to deal directly with beijing's communist government. the first panda pair were a gift from china, welcomed to the zoo by first lady pat nixon, who reported back to the president. >> well, there were an awfully lot of people there. boy, it was well covered. >> good, good. a lot of interest and how did -- did the people seem to enjoy it? >> reporter: the people did enjoy it, and it set off a wave of interest in the creatures around the country.
7:34 am
she has worked on conservation and panda issues with the world wildlife fund. >> the two pandas were really the start of this huge public fascination here in the united states and around the world. >> reporter: the zoo estimates that in the more than 20 years that they were alive, 75 million people came to see them. not even zoo director dennis kelly can say exactly why the pandas are so popular. >> they have those unique eyes. we're still not sure why they are, but those big colorations around their eyes. it seems to naturally attract both children and adults. >> reporter: and the public's fascination with pandas also seems to have saved them from extinction. >> the work of the american zoos and the zoos around the world have done in collaboration with the chinese over the last 40 years has really turned the species around from almost going extinct to now having hope that an iconic species like the giant panda will survive. >> reporter: well, stay tuned
7:35 am
because we're going to know sooner than we know the outcome of the presidential election whether or not there's another panda bear arriving here on help the species survive, and to continue to delight zoo goers here at the national zoo. charlie, gayle? >> bill, why is it so hard to determine if she's pregnant, if she's with child? >> reporter: well, they can't do an ultrasound because of later because of the way the baby forms. but they can observe her behavior and take hormonal levels from the blood. but she is nest building, and that's a good sign. but it could also mean that she thinks she's pregnant but she's actually not. that's why they won't really know for about another 30 to 40 days. >> suppose she's not. >> reporter: well, then she may be on a slow boat to china. in any case, she may have to go back to china. the important thing for the national zoo is to have a breeding pair here so that they can continue their research and they hope continue to produce cubs. >> so why does she have to go
7:36 am
back, though? can't she just stay at the national zoo and have the chinese send us another panda? >> reporter: well, we'd like that, i guess. but the chinese actually own the pandas, and we pay rent. it's part of a worldwide breeding program. and conservation program to help these exotic bears survive. so the agreement has it that she'll go back, and hopefully if that happens we would get here in washington another female or perhaps another pair. >> so you like the panda too. >> i think there's something we could do to have the chinese allow us -- must be something we can do for them so they would not follow the letter of the law here. >> i know. i would think so too. you can always make exceptions. and other than patrick on the crew, i don't know of anybody that doesn't like pandas. nobody. i found one person on planet earth. storm or no storm, the political conventions are coming. that means that prices are rising in tampa and charlotte too. peter greenberg has travel

we talked earlier about tropical storm isaac, and the republican national convention next week. if you're going there or to the democratic convention the following week, bargains will be hard to find. >> very hard. cbs news travel editor peter greenberg is here with how events this big impact travel. it's not just conventions. this happens anytime there's something major. >> the super bowl, the olympics. any time a city is bidding for something like this, the rates go up, and way up. >> and not just a little bit. >> no. for example, in tampa, the hotel room rates are averaging 132% over what they would normally be this time of the year. in charlotte, about 121%. that's not unusual. but you have to start to dissect the numbers, meaning they thought they were going to have 50,000 rooms in tampa, then
7:42 am
70,000, now it's to 90,000. they are claiming they are all sold out. actually, they are not. just like the olympics, there's a difference between a booked room and a blocked room. there are blocks of rooms that are coming out now. but still they are getting a four-night minimum to book a room right now at $800 a night. >> how are they able to charge so high? >> because they can. it's the law of supply and demand. but if you do a comparison, go one day after the republican convention in tampa, and the rates go up. and the same thing happens in charlotte, which is normal. >> is there anything wrong with this? >> well, the thing is in terms of how you book your travel, you want to book around it. meaning you don't necessarily book a four-night minimum at a hotel there. go 50 miles outside of town. people come to new york all the time. 50 miles is a one-hour drive. >> that's a long time, peter. >> no, it's not. people always want to stay in midtown. and i say, no, stay in brooklyn. get on the subway and be in midtown in six minutes.
7:43 am
>> how about the airfare? >> peter, when is the last time you booked 50 miles outside of a town where you wanted to visit? 50 miles outside of paris or london? >> 50 miles outside of paris is euro disney. come on, you can do it. >> peter, come on. >> i'm with charlie, peter, peter. let's move on to airfare. >> same thing. you want to go to tampa, it's $500 a ticket. next week, $255. to go to charlotte right now, $272. it will go down to $146. you see that dropoff. if you plan appropriately, that's the day after, same with the olympics. right off a cliff. >> and big advantage for the city? >> well, the big advantage for the city is easy. when they did the democratic convention in denver, they raised about $266 million in regional income in terms of economic impact. and when they had the republican convention in 2008 in minneapolis, it was about $170 million. but here is a t here is a myth. the myth is that all of the restaurants will do bigger business, all of the attractions will be busier. that i don't because people
7:44 am
don't leave the convention site. they don't. so local businesses won't get the spike they think they will. >> but the hotels they can still charge more. is it wrong? >> it's not wrong to charge more. i think it's crazy when they charge six times more. >> it just depends on how much. this morning the nude photos of prince harry this morning, nude photos of prince harry have turned up in a british tabloid. we'll show you who rejected the

prince harry lasted one day. there are new questions about harry's security detail. kelly is in london with more. kelly, this isn't dying down, is it? >> reporter: it's not, gayle. this is the first reason why. this is a copy of the tabloid paper the sun. they decided to break ranks, go against the wishes of the royal family and print the pictures of the naked prince harry. "cbs this morning" is not showing those pictures. you can see the rationale why. they say this picture is already available to millions online. other newspapers around the world have shown it and their readers have a right to see it as well. the simple matter of freedom of the press as they see it. we're also hearing details of what happened that night. a woman tells another british tabloid that she was there. she was invited up to the hotel room by prince harry's friends, along with about two dozen others. she said one of the prince's friends said let's play a game of strip pool. you miss a shot, you remove a piece of clothing.
7:50 am
prince harry was well aware pictures were being taken and offered to shield one of the women playing this game from the cameras saying i'll protect you. she said at no point did anyone ask to take away their phones or see if there were any pictures on them. which brings us to the next step. not surprisingly, there may be more pictures out there. a very well-known publicist in the uk said that he's been approached by two american women who claim to have been at the party and have pictures to sell. what happened to prince harry's security detail? they were pictured with him at the hotel pool. there are reports that they were with him that night in the hotel room. we asked a former member of the royal protection detail whether it was part of the job to protect harry from himself. >> when you work with somebody like that, it's like saying this is my job. but when you see something clearly that's wrong and may be of an embarrassment, you as an
7:51 am
employee or working closely have an obligation and duty i'm not so sure this is a good idea. >> so far the royal palace hasn't said anything about the publication of these pictures in the tabloid. they're sticking to the previous statement saying that we hope that the newspapers in the uk will respect the privacy of prince harry. >> that appears to be over for now. is there any fall out for harry in terms of his job? >> it doesn't look like it so far. any sort of formal military discipline would be up to his commander -- commanding officer. it doesn't look like that's going to happen. the worst he can get so far is a stern lecture from the queen and from his father, prince charms. >> all right, kelly. thank you. what do you bet, charlie, if there's pictures out there, we will see them? >> that's the way it works, isn't it? >> that's how it goes. the highest ranking woman steps down today as the bureau marks the 40th anniversary.

you must watch your step on you must watch your step on the subway. take a look at that. a woman holding her baby fell right off the platform and fell on to the tracks wednesday. this happened in cambridge, massachusetts. good samaritans came and pulled her up. the woman said it was a mixup. she rushed to catch the other train and didn't realize there wasn't a platform. it's 8:00. welcome back to "cbs this morning." >> that's what heroes always say. it was just instinct. i'm charlie rose. for more than six decades all fbi agents were men. that finally changed at the same time a lot of other changes for women. our senior correspondent, john miller, former fbi assistant director talked to some of the women who have made history in
8:01 am
the bureau. >> well, charlie, it was a bit of history because it actually took the death of j. edgar hoover in 1972 before a woman could become badge and gun carrying special agents. since then their numbers have grown in ranks. as they mark their 40th anniversary, some are getting pretty close to the top. >> reporter: in the last few days jan fadarchick has run classes on terrorism and he is pi owe naj. she has visited her five regional fbi offices and talked to her nearly 3,000 team members most of them. she's an assistant director of the fbi. she runs the new york office. that makes jan the highest ranking woman in the field and the first to ever command the bureau's busiest and biggest office. >> when little jan fadarchick was on the block and all the boys were playing cops and robbers, what were you playing? >> while they were playing cops
8:02 am
and robbers, i was there with them. >> reporter: and jan is still right there with them. she led the largest coordinated takedown of organized crime members in history, managed key arrests in major terrorism cases and was at the forefront in the crackdown on wall street fraud. only three in every ten agents is a woman. but when jan talks about her career, she says it's not special to be a female agent, she's proud to be a special agent. >> let's not distinguish between a female special agent and a male agent. of all of the people who want to be where we are as special agents, all of the people who make applications to come into the fbi and serve as a special agent, less than 2% make it through the door. >> reporter: when jan joined the fbi in 1987 the path for women had already been forged. it was 1972 when the fbi hired its first two female agents, one a former nun, the other a former
8:03 am
marine. >> having the first two women fbi agents was publicized in all the newspapers in america. and i laughingly now say i'm a footnote in history. everybody wan'ted to say who we were. sometimes i felt like i was an exhibit in a museum. which one are you? are you the marine or the nun? >> we all were taken down to quantico to begin training. there were 45 of us in the class at that time. two women and 43 guys. >> they were pioneer special agents and you see the two women in there. those women, those two women chartered the course for the rest of us. >> we do want to be an agent. not distinguish between female. we want to be agents first. >> reporter: today there are more than 2600 female special agents in the fbi and three of the top executives in the new york office are women. >> my experience with jan is she has been an inspiration for me. she stands out.
8:04 am
she is cool, calm and collected. >> as you walk away at the end of 25 a lot of fond memories. >> after 25 years in the fbi today is jan's last day. when her picture is added to this wall, she will be the only female to have commanded the new york office in over 100 years. she's leaving behind more than a portrait in a glass frame. she has broken one more glass ceiling. >> when do you think we'll see a woman as director of the fbi. >> hopefully in high lifetime, john. i would be very excited to be on the sidelines witnessing what would for all intents and purposes to see history to see a female named as the first fbi director. >> are you available? >> of course she's a available lanl. right after that she said, now you're trying to get me in trouble. >> if you run the new york office, that's a big, big job as you've said. that puts you in line to be a possible fbi director? >> it certainly puts you up there in the possibilities, not
8:05 am
suggesting that jan is in line for or looking to be director. >> you don't want to get in trouble with your friends in the fbi. >> no. but there are two women executive assistant directors now at headquarters. there are other female assistant directors. but jan is the highest ranking woman in the field running an actual field operation. >> what's good about the story is the fact that they are hiring a lot of women and women are out there in the fbi throughout the bureau. >> it's funny what started that. it was may 12th, 1972, that they put the order out that women could apply as agents and by july the two that we met in this piece were in the academy, but the thing that really was a catalyst that pushed lots of women to start applying for the special agent position was valentine's day 1991 and the event, can you guess? >> no. >> the movie "silence of the lambs" jodie foster's role taking on the serial killer. that actually spurred recruiting. >> it's a bit like william and
8:06 am
bur steen, people wanted to be reporters. >> right. exactly. >> and so, i mean, is there an active -- a sense of outreach to make sure that more and more women are brought into the fbi? >> there is but the fbi is a tough nut to crack if you are trying to get a job there. as jan said in the interview, many are called,called, few are. a quarter of a million people get to the fbi's employment page and as far as the application every year, but only a few hundred are actually out there. >> this is the question gayle would ask me so i'm now going to ask her, would you like to be an fbi agent if you were not a broadcaster? >> i would not. i would not. i'm afraid of guns. i'm afraid of guns. >> that is kind of a requirement. >> that rules me out. thank you, john. it is -- i was going to ask you at the
