captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news." >> jeff: good evening, i'm jeff glor. the saga of edward snowden has taken another dramatic international turn. snowden who was holed up in hong kong, wanted in the u.s., is now in russia. it is unlikely that is his final destination. the man who leaked n.s.a. secrets and was officially charged friday with espionage was on a flight this afternoon that landed in moskow. he may soon be flying to havana, cuba, and is said to be seek asylum eventually in ecuador. charlie d'agata begins our coverage. >> reporter: he fled from hong kong to moscow and so far he is untouchable. edward snowden a rifered in moscow in a commercial flight this afternoon but it's just a stoppover in the hope of reaching political asylum. diplomatic cars bearing the ecuadorian flag arrived at sheremetyevo airport and later the foreign minister confirmed that snowden has applied for political asylum in ecuador. he's getting help from wikileaks, a web site which releases sensitive government

documents. he said they're providing travel and legal assistance. >> our legal team, of course, has for obvious reasons good knowledge in extradition affairs. and we have acted as go- betweens. >> reporter: hoping to put a stop to that diplomatic sources told cbs news that snowden's passport has now been revoked. and in a statement, the state department said persons wanted on felony charges such as mr. snowden should not be allowed to proceed in any further international travel other than as necessary to return him to the united states. u.s. officials wanted him extradited from hong kong where he first fled but government officials there said the request didn't meet requirements. that gave snowden time to slip the net. so he'll spend tonight in transit side hotel inside the airport in moscow. a lawyer who specializes in extradition told us in reality the russians can detain him whenever they want.

but jeff, because snowden hasn't passed through border control, he doesn't have a russian visa they can simply argue he was just passing through. >> jeff: charlie, thank you very much. in washington a justice department spokesman says this evening the u.s. is disappointed and disagrees with hong kong's move not to honor the extradition request. with more from the white house, here's major garrett. >> reporter: edward snowden's sly departure from hong kong and touchdown in moscow transformed a surveillance prosecution into a global manhunt. and it prompted top lawmakers to accuse china and russia of taking snowden's side. >> china clearly had a role in this in my view. i don't think this was just hong kong without chinese acquiescence. >> reporter: the u.s. thought charges leveled against snowden, theft and two counts of espionage would meet hong kong's requirement and lead to snowden's return to the u.s. to face trial. but the fact that the russian government has allowed snowden to land in moscow is drawing

criticism from new york democrat charles schumer. >> putin always seems almost eager to put a finger in the eye of the united states, whether it is syria, iran, and now of course, with snowden. that's not how allies should treat one another. and i think it will have serious consequences for the united states-russia relationship. >> reporter: even kentucky republican senator rand paul who had offered some defense of snowden's surveillance leaks questions snowden's reliance on china and russia. >> if he cozies up to either the russian government, the chinese government, or any of these governments that are perceived still as enemies of ours, i think that that will be a real problem for him. >> reporter: the state department has revoked snowden passport and has notified all foreign governments that pending charges against snowden should prevent any international travel, except travel required to return snowden to the united states. >> jeff: thank you. the south african government says the condition of nelson mandela has worsened and is now critical.

mark phillips is outside the hospital in pretoria. mark what is the latest? >> reporter: the latest is not good news, i'm afraid. earlier the south african government has listed mr. mandla's condition as serious but stable. now following a visit to mr. mandla here by south african president, the condition has been changed to critical. to quote from the statement, they say that the visitors here, was in fact informed by the medical team that the former president, in other words, mandela's condition had become critical over the past 24 hours. in fact, we understand that the condition has been declining. mr. mandla for some time now, that the lung infection that he was originally admitted for, the same one that has put him in hospital four times over the past seven months, had become further complicated. and that there was now

impairment of other vital organ function. until now not just the government but also the family had been delivering fairly upbeat assessments, saying that the condition was not just stable but saying that mr. mandla was doing well. saying they hoped might soon be released and be able to go home. implicit was the hope that he could once again recover almost miraculously from the series of lung infections that he's had. the effect of this statement is that that hope is severely diminished, jeff. >> jeff: mark phillips, thank you. we learned this afternoon that an american tourist is among those who died during a violent terror attack in pakistan. it happened overnight in northern pakistan in a mountainous area usually considered safe. at least a dozen islamic militants wearing police uniforms shot and killed ten foreign tourists including the american and their pakistani guide. a local branch of the taliban has claimed responsibility saying it was in retaliation for the death of a leader killed in a recent u.s. drone strike. tourists from russia, china and ukraine are also among the dead.

officials have not released the name of the american who died. in western canada, historic flooding has forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people in alberta. tonight the city of medicine hat is preparing for the worst. and if what happened in calgary gives any warning, it will be hit hard. here's andrea lucia. >> reporter: floodwaters in calgary are receding. but life is not returning to normal for its more than 1 million residents. >> it's a bit erie, it's deserted, never seen it like this before, strange. >> reporter: 75,000 people have begun trickling back home. but parts of downtown are still inaccessible. highways remain empty. and canada's oil capitol is closed for business. bruce ferrell is the city's emergency management director. >> big chunk of the downtown core still without power. don't know, they may be without power for days. they might be without powers for weeks. >> reporter: 15 feet of water filled the saddledome arena home of the n.h.l.s calgary flames. the team's president & ceo ken king.

>> that means that if you were a hockey player walking out on the tunnel on to the ice, you would be underwater yourself. >> reporter: the venue from the calgary stampede, the city's biggest event of the year is still completely submerged with the rodeo scheduled to begin in less than two weeks. as the water moves downstream, 10,000 residents it in the city of medicine hat received mandatory evacuation notices. the river here has already overflowed its banks and isn't expected to crest until sometime tomorrow. andrea lucia, cbs news, new york. >> jeff: the senate resumes debate tomorrow on comprehensive immigration reform. that goal got closer last week when a group of senate republicans said they would support it if it included what some call a border search. here is nancy cordes. >> reporter: on capitol hill compromise does not come cheap. supporters of a sweeping immigration reform bill agreed to spend 46 billion on border security, in order to win the support of about a dozen republicans. .

the sena the senator bob corker appeared on "face the nation." >> it certainly should put to rest any issue regarding border security. 20,000 new border patrol agents. >> that would double the number of border control agents from 20,000 to 40,000, at a cost of $30 billion. 6.5 billion would be used to complete 700 miles of border fencing, and 1.5 billion more would be used to purchase surveillance equipment including infrared cameras and unmanned drones. some democrats like vermont's patrick leahy said the bill reads like a christmas wish list for outside firms. >> i'm sure there are federal contracting firms, high fiving at the prospect of all the spending demanded. >> but opposition from democrats was muted and the president endorsed the kprirms in his weekly radio address. >> but it's consistent with the principles that i and others have laid out for common sense reform.

>> republican moss normally balk say this is different because it would be paid for by fines charged to undocumented workers who, if the reform bill becomes law, will now be allowed to seek citizenship. >> all of us agree that we have to pay a fine. that's not a problem. >> 25-year-old louis aguilar crossed with his family 17 years ago. the congressional budget office estimates that if louis and the nation's roughly 11 million illegal immigrants are granted legal status the government will raise an additional $459 billion in new tax revenue. >> we have shown that we're every part of america as somebody who was born here. the only part is that we are not american is just a piece of paper. >> reporter: if the political coalition holds the immigration reform bill has a chance to pass the senate with a big bipartisan majority, maybe 70 votes. supporters are hoping had that will put pressure on republicans in the house who have shown less interest in immigration reform plans that include any kind of pathway to citizenship. >> jeff: nancy cordes, thank you very much. later marketing bulletproof backpacks for schoolkids. the return of the twinkie due

>> reporter: at 33 myya beck is doing what she loves, running her own fitness studio in wellfleet, massachusetts. she works morning and night, six to seven days a week and still struggle just to get by. do you have any savings? >> i have $40. >> reporter: the money that is coming in, where is it going? >> to my bills, college loans, a car payment, rent for my house. >> reporter: her entire generation is facing this struggle. economists believe part of the reason is the traditional means of building wealth are disappearing. buying a home has been an historic source of wealth. but since 1990 there has been a significant drop in home ownership for people under age 39. and then there's college debt. which is more than tripled in just the last ten years. beck still owes more than 15,000 dollars for her college education. >> it's very stressful it weighs on me as a person, that i'm not doing something right. >> reporter: you just learned really big news. >> now we also have a baby on

the way. i mean this is everything i've ever wanted. i've always, you know, wanted to own my own business. i've wanted to be a mom and have a family, most importantly, of my own. so i've gotten those things. but financially how do i do it? >> reporter: how do you do it? >> i don't know. >> reporter: does that scare you? >> yeah, scares the living dickens out of me. >> reporter: just one of a generation that if things don't change will be poorer than their parents. the first times that's happened in america since the great depression. terrell brown, cbs news, wellfleet, massachusetts. >> jeff: and we are joined now by cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger. ben bernanke says the economy will is improving but the woman in wellfleet doesn't feel that way, a lot of people don't. what gives? >> the fed is looking at a lot of different ways to measure this.

the first thing is saying jobs. four years ago we were losing jobs, now we're gaining. we have 200,000 jobs a month that have been added to the economy in last six months. housing has started to turn around and it's really doing much better. prices are increasing, the action is really bubbling up. even some wages cannot everybody, we do see some wage increases. the problem is we still have 11.8 million people out of work. we have people that are struggling under the weight of their student loans. so the economy is improving, very slowly, and not quick enough for a lot of those people. >> jeff: you mentioned housing. i want to ask you about that as well. mortgage rates are going up very quickly right now. does that hurt the recovery? >> well, it could if it goes up much further than it has. we've gone from a low of about 3.5% for a 30-year fixed to about 4.5%. that can snuff out a lot of buyers, an extra 100 bucks a month on your payment could be the difference between being able to buy or not. that said, the housing markets should be strong enough to withstand this. and rates should go up slowly

enough as incomes are increasing so that the housing market should continue to recover. i think the housing recovery in fact. >> jeff: jill, thanks very much. >> great to be with you. >> jeff: next up here in ohio, airshow reopens, and remembers. after a deadly crash. esnof back. and a choice. take up to 4 advil in a day or 2 aleve for all day relief.
