afghanistan, with the story. charlie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, nora. it's been relatively peaceful in afghanistan. there are three small demonstrations to report. there have been several anti-american demonstrations here in afghanistan this week. this week the one that did turn violent was met with a heavy police presence and response. it is a much different story in neighboring pakistan where as you said the government calls for a muslim day of love for the prophet muhammad, but we're told from our people on the ground that protesters have been abled to reach the area and enter the areas including that neighborhood around the u.s. embassy in islamabad. protests have also spread to the pakistani cities of bashara and ka rach chi where there have been reported deaths. also another rare demonstrated dispute in cashmere. mostly women there and the police were able to disburse it using tear gas. now anti-american demonstrations
7:04 am
are expected across the middle east including here in afghanistan as this rage against the film mocking of prophet muhammad shows no sign of dying down. charlie? >> charles gagata, thanks very much. while the united states is trying a public relations counter offensive to calm the anger and stop the violence, margaret brennan has that story. >> reporter: good morning to you, charlie. the u.s. government is trying to stop that anti-american violence by buying ad time on pakistani tv to spread the message that it did not endorse the controversial internet video made by an american filmmaker to ridicule islam. >> reporter: it cost the u.s. government $70,000 to broadcast these ads on seven different pakistani tv networks. they feature messages from president obama. >> we re jekt all efforts to denigrate the religious believes of others. >> reporter: and secretary of state hillary clinton. >> the united states government had absolutely nothing to do

with this video. >> reporter: condemning the anti-islam movie made by a california filmmaker. the state department is trying to cool anti-american fury that sent thousands of protesters into the streets of pakistani cities this week. it isn't the first time that american diplomats sponsored media or purchased ad time but the head of the outreach program says these ads are urgent. >> it is very important for us to reach every citizen with the message that the united states government had nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the hateful video. >> reporter: they are also using social media outlets and asking religious leaders to use their pulpit to get that message out. but former diplomats point out that stopping anti-american protests needs to go beyond the
7:06 am
video. >> sometimes america becomes a political football in local disputes and there are local politicians that see a reason to ginn up the sentiment. >> reporter: well, the pakistani foreign minister is in washington and will meet with secretary clinton. they'll discuss some of the larger underlying issues that may be fueling some of this tension, including the u.s. drone strikes that have killed pakistani civilians and the terror networks that are taking harbor inside of that country. charlie? >> margaret brennen in washington. a statement by president obama is now being picked apart. on thursday he and governor mitt romney were in florida where a new poll from fox news shows the president leading by 5 points. a comment he made about changing washington is giving his opponent a chance to attack. january crawford is in west palm beach florida. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. romney is headed out to nevada and then a fund-raiser in california, but yesterday he hit the president hard after his comments in what was a rocky interview on the spanish
7:07 am
language network univision. >> reporter: appearing in a town hall in miami, the president faced tough and repeated questions about his promise four years ago to pass immigration reform. >> you promised that. and a promise is a promise. >> reporter: the president said he was focused on the economy but the questions kept coming. he was asked about his biggest failure as president. >> as you remind me, my biggest failure so far is we haven't gotten comprehensive immigration reform done. we're going to be continuing to work on that. but it's not for lack of trying or desire. >> reporter: it's a major issue among hispanic voters, a key constituency in this swing state. and it's the first time the president has identified immigration as his biggest failure. president obama said he was naive and he pointed the finger at republicans and then went on to complain about a divided wachg ton. >> the most important lesson i've learned is that you can't change washington from the inside, you can only change it from the outside. that's how i got elected and
7:08 am
that's how the big accomplishments like health care got done was because we mobilized the american people to speak out. >> reporter: those remarks about change bringing to mind then candidate obama's slogan of hope and change caused mitt romney to pounce. on the other side of the state in sarasota, romney suggested the president was in over his head. >> the president today threw in the white flag of surrender again. he said he can't change washington from the inside, he can only change it from outside. well, we're going to give him that chance in november. he's going outside. >> reporter: romney said the president has let america down. >> his slogan was, yes, we can. his slogan now is, no, i can't. this is time for a new president. he went from the president of change to the president who can't get change and the american people understand it. >> reporter: now that was an inner guy mitt romney after getting criticism for his
7:09 am
campaign. his wife ann came to his defense on an iowa radio station really in the way only a spouse can. take a listen to this. >> stop it. this is hard. you want to try it, get in the ring. this is hard. and, you know, it's an important thing that we're doing right now and it's an important election, and it is time for all-americans to realize how significant this election is. >> reporter: now romney made a similar point in the rally yesterday about the significance of the election saying it was for the soul of america and america's future. nora, back to you in washington. >> all right. jan crawford, thank you. let's bring in dan senor, advisor to the romney/ryan campaign. you saw the latest report from jan there from the ground and certainly ann romney responding to some of this criticism from columnists and pundants and others. but isn't it true, i mean, the front page of the "wall street journal" has a piece today, head
7:10 am
win for romney in the latest poll results. romney has a narrower and narrower path. >> i think fine. the polls will move all over the place. there's a tendency to overreact in the pun dan try class to the daily news that furnishes the headline news. the reality is it's a very close race. both campaigns have agreed it will be a close race until the end. we've seen some movement that's not positive. we've seen some movement that's very positive. i think we just continue talk about what we're talking about which is the reality of this economy. one in six people living in poverty. another 20 million people on food stams since president obama became president. 23 million americans out of work, under employed, or just given up. the reality is we'll have a big choice, a big debate in the next couple of weeks, there will be a series of debates, both presidential and vice presidential. we think the issues in the macro environment are certainly on our side. >> you've got less than 50 days left. you have a debate in about two
7:11 am
weeks from now. how important do you think this debate is two weeks from now? >> i think everyone has a tendency to overstate the significance of debates. all of the debates are important. the debates that we're having, though not formal debates, have been very important. i think it's a broader discussion to present the choice in the election. >> sounds like you're trying to lower expectations now. >> i'll tell you that president obama is a very experienced debater. we saw how we did in 2008. vice president biden is one of the most experienced debaters in national politics. he's been doing this for decades. he's run for president a couple of times. these are very accomplished, experienced men on the debate stage. >> charlie? >> dan, your expertise is foreign policy. you're traveling with the vice presidential nominee paul ryan. what is the single biggest difference on foreign policy between governor romney and president obama? >> i would say, charlie, the biggest crisis facing the united states from a national security
7:12 am
standpoint is iran developing nuclear weapons capability and tragically the obama administration really wasted the first calm of years of its administration on a failed strategy to isolate iran, to ramp up economic pressure. >> if governor romney is elected president, what's the first thing he would do about iran and its effort to have a nuclear capacity? >> well, i would say first of all what he would not have done is wasted as much time as the obama administration. >> you have to tell us what you would do, not what you wouldn't do. it's about the future. >> he would not have wasted the time that the administration will do. >> what will he do. >> ramp up -- ramp up economic pressure. >> what economic pressure that is not ramped up would he use? >> there are much tougher sanctions that congress has been advocating for. >> like? >> the administration has been resistant to some of these sanctions to not giving wavers to certain financial institutions around the world. so congress has passed tough sanctions around iran. there are wavers. the administration has used these wavers too much to let
7:13 am
people get out of these sanctions. let me finish. he would also -- this is very important here. we do not advocate military action against iran. it should be the option of last resort. however, what the administration has done is broadcast to tehran, to the moolahs in tehran that the military option is the absolute one thing america doesn't want anybody to do. so the threat of military action is not credible. we need to ramp up economic pressure, increase isolation and make the thread of military action credible. it's not just iran. we're watching right now the whole region unraveling. you look at 20,000 innocent civilians dead in syria, you look at iran getting closer to a nuclear bomb. you see extremists storming our embassies. >> what would the nominee for the republican party, mitt romney, do in syria that's not being done today? >> sure. i think that's an important question because you've got to
7:14 am
take all of these countries one by one. on syria, it's been over a year since the president has said bashar assad must go. bashar assad is still in power. america looks impotent in the region. a president romney would look to do more to help the opposition movement on the ground in syria, working with our allies like the turkog turks, saudis, and would not have dragged its feet as long as we have to give the opposition assistance. they've been calling out for american leadership for a long time. this is in america's national security interest. bashar assad is tehran's closest ally and assad falling would be a strategic blow to iran. >> dan senor, we hope to have you back. this sunday 60 minutes will have interviews with both governor romney and president obama right here on cbs. after 25 missions, the space

7:31 am
months of bruce ber res ford redman's trial, his theory has never waivered. prosecutors believe they argued violently on the morning of april 5th, 2010, that he suffocated her in the hotel room they shared with their two small children. prosecutors claim that he kept her body there until he could hire it in the sewer. monica's sister says bruce is right where he belongs. >> if he really killed my sister, which it looks like he did, i want him in jail. >> i did not kill my wife. i had nothing to do with it. >> reporter: how are you holding up? >> reporter: in a new interview with ""48 hours"" he says prosecutors have failed to prove their case. >> it's hard to understand why i'm still in jail. i've been accused of a horrible crime and i would like to exonerate myself. >> reporter: he may well succeed.
7:32 am
much of the evidence in the case has been lost or contaminated and key government witnesses have contradicted the prosecution's case. the coroner, for instance, pinpoints monica's death at 11:40 p.m. monday night but prosecutors insist she died 18 hours earlier. >> his testimony to me obliterates their entire theory. >> reporter: when the state's criminologist takes the stand, incredibly he testifies he can find no link between bruce and monica's murder. >> i am looking around waiting for someone to stand up and say, okay, well, we've got the wrong guy. you know, let's get him the hell out of there and that doesn't happen. >> reporter: determined to press on with a surk couple stanceal case, the chief prosecutor told "48 hours", we want to punish him. we have to work with what we have. he said there is other evidence against bruce but also admitted he is upset about holding their mecca as a tourist place.
