welcome to "cbs this morning." as you wake up in the west, we are remembering one of the most versatile and honored figures in entertainment history. mike nichols died suddenly last night. >> he was a director, producer, writer and comedian. nichols worked tirelessly for more than 50 years to perfect his craft and it showed. he was born michael igor pechowski. he fled nazi germany speaking only two sentences of english when he arrived in the u.s. he became an american icon. a writer, director, who mastered comedy, drama, even musicals with his diverse skills. ♪ that's pure mike nichols >> in 2003, the recipient of the kennedy center honors. he made his broadway debut in 1964 with "barefoot in the park" which also became a feature film. >> mr. and mrs. brodeur.

the audience is so new. why have you called us together. and you have to have an answer. >> nichols is survived by his wife of 26 years, abc's diane sawyer, as well as his three children and four grandchildren. mike nichols was 83. certainly thinking about diane and his family today. there's not one person that worked with him that is not forever changed by working with mike nichols in all the best ways. >> there are so few people who have won the number of awards he has, an ememmy, grammy, oscar, l of those. >> extraordinary career. >> so brilliant, so funny, so kind. >> so well liked by the community. >> so true. everybody liked mike nichols. he will be terribly missed. in other news, police this morning are trying to find out what sparked a shooting at florida state university overnight. a gunman wounded three students in the library.

police say he was shot after he shot at them. >> it happened at the library in tallahassee. vladimir duthiers is here with the video that show the frightening moments right after the shooting. vlad, good morning. >> good morning. police say all the victims were students. nearly 200 packed inside the library, late last night, studying for exams. when suddenly without warning the gunman opened fire. this video apparently taken inside the florida state bring brother showed a man on the floor, holding his leg from an apparent gun shot wound. >> there has been a shooting in the library. stay where you are. >> reporter: another video shows students huddled together as police alert them to the shooting. >> if anybody has been shot, call 911. >> reporter: students inside the library described the frightening moments when the gunman opened fire.

>> first, it was like the first two gunshots, no one really moved. it wasn't until the guy was on the floor and he had like his hand on his leg and right there everyone just started running. i wish i would have stayed with the guy, you know, kind of like asked him about it, but at the time, everything's happening so fast. >> they met the suspect in front of the library. the suspect did not comply with the commands and actually shot at one of the officers. they returned fire and the subject was killed. >> students were told to find a safe place away from any windows or doors as police locked down the library securing it floor by floor, looking for any signs of another separate shooter. >> got two patients transported at this time. gpds currently searching the building. not sure if there's going to be anywhere else inside. >> reporter: inside the library students used furniture to barricade themselves. >> everyone including myself was just taken back by it. you hear about it happening but

you never expect it to happen to you or to people you know. >> classes at florida state university will be canceled today. police are interviewing witnesses to try to find out a possible motive for this attack. gayle? >> thank you, vlad. another pacific storm is coming on shore this morning, this time in the northwest. a new blast of lake-effect snow is sweeping through western new york. the snow is so deep, it caved in the front door of this home in buffalo it look at that shot. this week's storms are now blamed for at least eight deaths there. jericka duncan is in a hard hit suburb. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, and good morning to our west coast viewers. it is not snowing here right now. the bulk of that lake-effect snow that hit overnight continued to accumulate here at this car dealership. there are several cars buried under mounds of snow. officials say already, they've removed more than 5,000 tons of snow in this area. the second round of a monster

lake effect snowstorm intensified overnight with winds blowing up to 25 miles per hour and thundersnow lighting up the downtown buffalo sky. it comes just as the first signs of asphalt and concrete begin to emerge in buffalo. western new yorkers are used to early season snowstorms, but with accumulation totals expected to reach 8 feet by friday, this system is one for the record books. >> getting through this second half of the storm is really just focusing on safety. we don't want to lose any more lives. >> reporter: on wednesday, snow removal crews and residents enjoyed a short break from the fall and flakes. enough time to dig people out of their homes and cars. >> it never ends. welcome to buffalo. >> because of the blinding snow, most roads were impassable. this couple was unable to make it to a hospital. their baby was born tuesday at a nearby firehouse with the help of a labor nurse who happened to be stranded in her car close by.

>> here we are in the snow tundra of buffalo, new york. >> reporter: the buffalo bills could sure use former quarterback jim kelly and the bills in the next couple of days. it looks more like a tub of cool whip than a football stadium. the jets play on sunday. they need to move over 20,000 tons of snow by game day. now, the national guard is also here. they are helping out with blocking off certain streets that are still impassable and also with several rescues happening. they're asking people, even though they have made progress removing snow off the streets, to stay inside as they continue to remove snow from that sound round of lake-effect snow. >> all right, jericka. thank you. there's bitter cold and lake-effect snow in other parts of the great lakes. vicente arenas is in the middle of grand rapids, michigan, where more than a foot of snow has falling. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. good morning to our viewers in

the west. so much snow has fallen in the grand rapids area that it's been piling up and causing trouble for the people who live here. during the past decade, the average snowfall has been about 74 inches. but last year, it was a staggering amount, 116 inches. this year, officials are expecting just as much. there's already a blanket of snow on the ground here. at least 23 inches fallen in november alone. up to another 3 are expected today. 60 miles south of here, the lakeside community of south haven received a dusting overnight. but it was the strong winds that have left piers and fences along the shoreline frozen solid, the wind creating a wall of ice. this weekend, not as much snow expected. then there will be another problem once it begins to melt. there could be flooding. city officials here have been getting ready for all kinds of problems. they say they are ready should there be any flooding and more snow. >> thank you, vicente, very much. some of us are getting a break today from all that cold air.

meteorologist danielle niles of cbs station wbz is tracking that arctic front. danielle, good morning. >> good morning, and good morning to viewers in the west. we are tracking a couple of ddi systems. stead yes downpours expected right at the coastline changing to snow at the higher elevations. a little break in the action, just some showers in seattle. look at this next round of rain that comes in during the day tomorrow. some heavier downpours. maybe minor flooding. changing to some snow with the elevations and portions of the pacific northwest as well. rainfall amounts generally around an inch from san francisco up to the coastline. but it could be more like an inch and a half, two inch, the cost line down to portland. coldest air in the midwest today. high temperatures in the 50s and 60s up and down the west coast. >> danielle, thanks. this morning, president is getting ready to take executive action to reform the nation's

immigration system. republicans are furious about the president's plan. major garrett is at the white house. >> reporter: the white house admits it's chosen to pick this fight now. instead of waiting for the new republican congress to take over in january. the republicans complain the president simply doesn't have the legal authority to grant work permits or shield from deportation 5 million immigrants. the president said in an oval office video yesterday when it comes to congress dealing with the issue, well, he's waited long enough. >> everybody agrees that our immigration system is broken. unfortunately washington has allowed the problem to fester for too long. >> reporter: top advisers say the president has the law and history on his side. presidents from eisenhower, kennedy, johnson, reagan, both bushes took executive action to deal with what they characterized as problems with

the broken immigration system. >> reporter: and now president obama will act. the goal? free from deportation an estimated 5 million undocumented children and adults. most of the adults will also be eligible for work permits. those most likely to qualify, undocumented children of u.s. citizens or parents of children with permanent legal resident status. also, more children brought here illegally as youngsters. the so-called dreamers. top republicans called the move reckless. >> the president's going to tell the people who have been waiting patiently in line, playing by the rules, get in the back of the line, i'm going to put millions of people ahead of you in front of the line who have not played by the rules. >> reporter: the democrats warned republicans they are on the wrong side of history. >> when any political party in history has decided to make anti-immigration their standard and their value, they have withered and disappeared as they should. >> reporter: the president will formally set all this in motion

by signing the necessary paperwork at an event friday in las vegas. meanwhile, the sparring over this has already begun. >> major, thanks. a newly released video this morning shows bill cosby refusing to discuss sexual assault allegations. the "associated press" interviewed the comedian and his wife camille two weeks ago about their art collection and cosby was also asked about the women who claim he drugged and attacked them. >> no, no, we don't answer that. >> okay, i just wanted to ask if you wanted to respond at all about whether any of that was true. >> there's no response. >> okay. can i ask you with the persona that people know about bill cosby, should they believe anything differently about -- >> there is no comment about that. >> okay. >> and i'll tell you why. i think you were told, and i don't want to compromise your

integrity, but we don't -- i don't talk about it. >> a short time later cosby asked the reporter not to use that part of the interview. >> now, can i get something from you. >> what's that? >> that none of that will be shown. >> i -- i can't promise that myself. you didn't say anything -- >> i know i didn't say anything, but i'm asking your integrity that since i didn't want to say anything but i did answer you in terms of i don't want to say anything of what value will it have. >> this morning nbc has dropped plans to develop a new series with cosby, and the tvland cable channel is no longer showing episodes of "the cosby show." cbs news contributor frank luntz is in washington. he's an expert on crisis communications. frank, good morning. >> good morning. >> what do you make of this ap video, frank? >> it was very difficult. as you listen to the tone of the

reporter, clearly he didn't want to ask this question. reporters don't want to challenge bill cosby because of what he represents for america. he really was america's dad, so this is difficult for everybody. but, charlie, when you have six people, six women, there's a rule of communication. one example is random. two examples is a trend. once you get three, that's pretty factual to the ears of the average american. and cosby's response, that nonresponse, once you have three people, you're going to be expected to say a lot more. >> you know, frank, the front page of one of the new york papers says "it's time for america's dad to talk." do you think he should do an interview? and what could he possibly say? >> he needs to do an interview. and this whole thing is tragic. for bill cosby not to answer these allegations, and if they're true, not to acknowledge in his life mistakes were made is a tragedy because he loses

his credibility that he will never get back in his remaining career. >> i'm still not sure what he could say in an interview, frank, what is your point about that? >> that he has to tell the truth. >> okay. >> if he did do the things he's accused of, then he has to acknowledge it because it can become a learning lesson. by the way, that's what "the cosby show" is about. teaching families across the spectrum about how to behave in life. now he has an opportunity to do so in his own personal life. >> he's on tour. he's 77 years old. we hear the tour is going on as scheduled. tomorrow night, it's sold out. what do you think happens now? >> i think people are going to come to that tour and expect him to say something. and if he doesn't, that audience is going to be very disappointed. it's come to the point, when it's in the first hour of your show, that tells me it's significant, it's genuine news, and he needs to say something to his audience tomorrow night. >> it's on the front page of "the new york times" as well. >> exactly. >> and do you think he should say something in a statement or an interview?

>> no, you have do it personally. when you commit this kind of offense, it's not enough to put it in writing. you have to look straight at the camera, straight at the interviewer, and tell the american people what happened, why, why you are sorry, if something did happen. because in the end, there's no conviction. they will listen to what he has to say, but he has to say it. he cannot write it. >> all right. frank luntz, thank you. >> thank you. it is 7:19. a a lot of fog outside right now but some stormy weather is coming our way in the next few hours. in fact, that will be picking up in the north bay very, very soon. out there along the coastline we have some thick fog setting in toward ocean beach. our hi-def doppler radar showing you that storm it's going to pack a punch onshore. expect heavier rainfall in the bay area in the middle of the day and the afternoon. temperatures going to be in the

anyone can log on to see the live feeds from your bedroom to security systems all with a map straight to your front door. charlie dagget is in london where the government is demanding russia take this site down. >> good morning. the website has been up and running for months, peering into offices and people's bedrooms for all the world to see. it claims it's doing it for their own good, shining a light on the problem of weak security. they have eyes on everywhere. so-called private web cams a couple clicks away from anyone with an internet connection. businesses like this shop in amarillo, a laundromat in salt lake city. a university like this one in iowa. private homes down to baby monitors. these are children's bedrooms in the united states this morning. a babysitting up in virginia, fast asleep in utah, in the corner of her cot in florida. we've blurred out their faces. the website does not.

and it's not just that. we blurred out the exact coordinates the site provides, complete with links to a map. this parking lot in kansas is just down the street from amanda's bakery and a liquor store. the russian website claims what they're doing is entirely legal because they've hacked into cameras where the owners didn't change the default password. they go so far as to claim the purpose is to highlight poor user security. there are more than 4,000 cameras listed in the u.s. and 152 countries to choose from worldwide. from a beach parking lot in australia to the tokyo skyline to not far from us in london. britain's information commissioner chris for a graham says anyone who failed to set a secure camera password is vulnerable. >> these can be accessed in the same way you might want to check what's going on in your business premise or your shop or you want

to see your baby fast asleep. so can everyone else if you don't set the password. >> he's urging russian authorities to shut the site down. he's worked with the federal trade commission and the u.s. to shut the site down if the russians fail to cooperate. we've tried to contact the ftc. in the meantime, he suggests switching those cameras off, setting a secure password before putting them on again. >> wow. that's an important warning. >> creepy and disconcerting, especially the cameras in the babies' rooms. >> who knew? many jetblue passengers this morning are preparing to pay more to fly on tightly packed planes. they will start charging a fee next year for checked bags. >> they'll also start adding 15 more seats to many of its planes. that means less leg room for passengers but more profit for the airline. amy, good morning. why are they doing this now other than because they can? >> they're doing it to make money. all the other airlines had a

really big year. they've been paying dividends to shareholders. and jetblue has been lagging behind. this is ancillary revenue. the money made from checked backs is huge for airlines. so jetblue is getting on that train. >> it used to be considered the go-to for low-cost carriers. >> jetblue really made its name as the no-frills airline where you got a lot of leg room and paid a lot less for your fares. that's just not the case. it's looking more like a traditional airline. jetblue introduced a business-class product for transcontinental flights over the summer. now it's going to be asking people to pay for checked bags, less leg room. it's looking a lot like a traditional domestic carrier. >> wall street liked this news. of course, their stock price is up. what about the customers? could it backfire? >> i think it's a very risky move. they've made their name as the airline with more leg room and no checked bag fees. it's going to be very interesting to see how people respond. the thing is, there aren't that many planes in the skies right now. we're flying at capacity.

so people don't have many other options. >> and other airlines are adding prices as well. >> exactly. southwest is the holdout for no checked bags. people can make a decision and fly with southwest. but i think people are kind of beholden to the airlines now. >> are we going to see a lot more congestion as we always have at thanksgiving? more weeks of the year? >> there are some predictions of that. you know, we're flying at capacity. a lot of our airports are older. there's a lot of capital investment going into airplane terminals. but we are flying at capacity and there are a lot more people flying in the skies. >> let's talk about airline flying in general. when i was a little kid, you used to have to dress up to get on a plane. you wore nice shoes. i remember having to wear gloves. i don't expect people to dress up anymore. but don't you think it's a very different day? i feel we're loaded on like cattle in many cases. do you know what i mean? it's a mess. >> there's not much dignity left

when you're sitting in the back of the plane. it's a bifurcated flying experience. they're making most of their money off people sitting in first and business class. those people are getting better cabins, more services outside of the actual flight. and if you're sitting in the back of the plane, you really -- you're getting better technology. they say the seat comfort level is up, but you have less leg room and you are paying more. >> all right. amy, thank you. >> thank you very much. i know what you're thinking. i know exactly what you're thinking. yes, i'm flying in the front of the plane, but i do think it's bad. i know exactly what you're thinking. thank you, amy. a popular app takes traffic off the main roads, but it has to end up somewhere. now why a once quiet community says not in your neighborhood. you're watching "cbs this morning." next week is my favorite day of the year. black friday. trample a guy on a tuesday

a popular a a popular app for your phone designed to help drivers beat traffic jams is facing some speed bumps. waze cuts down commuting times by suggesting alternative routes to bypass gridlock. as john blackstone shows us, some commuters say the app is rerouting the congestion right to their front yards. >> reporter: the average commuter spends nearly 40 hours a year stuck in traffic. but with the help of a popular map app, drivers are finding new shortcuts, often through neighborhood side streets. people who live in this los angeles neighborhood say it's more than just a nuisance.

good. we haven't seen many people trying to game the system. >> reporter: waze says its drivers have every right to be on any open road. >> although waze may use streets that could be residential, if they're public and it's legal to be driving down them, we will use them to help dissipate traffic. keep in mind waze was created to help dissipate congestion, and because of the algorithms we have, we'll never route never cars down a street to actually create a problem that wasn't there. >> reporter: the l.a. department of transportation tells "cbs this morning" it's getting complaints that waze is creating congestion but can't confirm the app is responsible. for now, even among critics it can be hard to resist faster commutes. >> i'm a waze user myself, but we have to be more conscious of how we're using it. >> reporter: because in cities where people battle traffic all day, it's the last thing they want to come home to. for "cbs this morning," john

583% of americans plan to not shop on black friday. that's despite all the hype by retailers. tod marks joins us at the tachblt it's sort table. it's a 50/50 split. tell us why. >> 53% said they're less likely to shop this year. what's happening is we see a stretching out of the holiday season. black friday is no longer the marquis name that gets all the play. remember, the internet shopping never stops. shopping begins before halloween. more than 10 americans have made a major service more at this point. remember, there's always a deal on the enter net. retailers have to top it. walmart is open 24 hours, kmart.

there's a lot of pressure there. >> are there going be some items on black friday, so-called lead irthat draws you into the store? >> oh, sure. you're going to see them because they're the things that draw people into the store where then they'll hopefully buy more expensive items. but, again, those are not items you necessarily want. they're appealing to you on price. and while there are sot high-profile getting. are you buying it because it's something you enjoy and it has the features and reliability. >> a lot of people will buy it. >> absolutely. more than half the americans told us this year they're going to be on a budget. but setting a budget and keeping it will be two different things. so it takes a lot of discipline. especially when you see the

dollar signs and big sales dangling out there. >> why not take the easy bay out and go online. >> because for a great portion of americans, shopping is something we like. we ask thad question at consumer reports and they say they feel energize. they watt out. 73% of the people who said they're not shopping is because of the crowds. >> are people spending more or saving more? >> this year it's kind of an even break. the average person so going to spend about $437 and it's really interesting because the number of people who tell us they're spending less are way, way smaller. but 250% are spending a thousand or more. the same is going spending less. black friday, you're thinking you're getting the best deal.

do you wait to the end? >> tl idea is it might be sold out. it's a game of russian roulette. if it's something you have to have, go out there, hole your nose, and schon till you drop. >> good advise tod marks. we god it. up next, they made their own conditions. >> there weren't a lot of conditions. >>,,,,

♪ i can't hear you anymore >> reporter: by the mid-1960s, bob dylan was the poet king of music. but after a motorcycle accident in 1966, he famously holed up in his house in new york. it became the most prestigious writing year of his life. a selection that became known as the basement tapes were released in 1975 but it has never been completed. with these new lyrics released, burnett gathered six band leaders to collaborate and create music for dylan's lost words. >> there were no conditions. so that took away a lot of the trepidation. because you could clearly see particularly once we got to capital and we were actually handed the original handwritten manuscripts to look at, then you could see the rhythm of the way any writer writes something down. and you could see that they were incomplete. that gave you the license to

maybe make some editorial choices. knowi knowing we could do that, we could have fun with it. >> reporter: in the spirit of the original basement tapes, they spent two weeks in the basement of capital records in los angeles trying to replicate the freedom that dylan and the band first felt. >> oh, that's great. yeah. >> you're making music in your own band or project or something. when you go in the studio, there's very much of a, well, we have to do this right now. we're going to release this and it's going to dictate the rest of our year, whatever. whereas with this, everybody came into it with a let's see what happens attitude. ♪ going back to kansas city >> it got better as you guys went along. >> it was great from the get go. i went away the first weekend to do a gig with the roots and i came back and discovered johnny depp had been sitting in my chair.
