"60 minutes" will be seen in its entirety after this game. >> trent: you're on the road, you lost four games in a row. go for the win. you don't want to be overly aggressive with your young quarterback. >> greg: this is brandon second and 13. >> trent: you know that if he don't get the first down, don't get a position, you don't want to leave any time for the 49ers to get the ball back and try to move down the field either. >> greg: petty. pulls it down. on the move. and runs for the sideline.
7:01 pm
knocked out and a penalty marker flies. jimmy ward applied the hit. that will move the jets even closer to a poe ten chapel game-tying field goal. doesn't make sense. no, doesn't make sense. a huge mental mistake. petty is shaken up. >> referee: there's no foul on the play. the quarterback was inbounds. third down. >> trent: that's about action much emotion as you'll see out of todd bowles. not happy with the decision at all. determining if the contact was made inbounds. the initial contact, his food

7:02 pm
hadn't hit out of bounds yet. watch enunwa here. he's going to get down, be open. petty scrambles to the outside. he never is able to see him. watch as he breaks the pocket here. he gets to the outside. enunwa is open. he missed it as he was trying to get out of bounds. >> greg: so instead of the big game, third and 12 for the jets. going deep. incomplete. at the goal line. intended for robby anderson. brock was covering. it's fourth and 12. here comes the field goal unit. >> trent: this looks like it's about 50 yards for this attempt. >> greg: nick folk will line this one up on the far hash mark
7:03 pm
from 50 -- looks like 51 yards out. greg, going back to the no call on the hit out of bounds. i don't agree with it. i thought he was making a clear effort to get out of bounds. yes, he was elevated. >> greg: this for the tie. and it is good. the jets have come all the way back to a 17-17 tie. >> trent: started to draw a little bit left. looks like it may end up hooking left. petty is fired up. think about the attitude and the
7:04 pm
effort the jets had to give to get back in this game. down 14-0 after 2 1/2 minutes in the game. falling behind by two touchdowns early on. no give, no quit in this team. >> greg: tonight on cbs begins with an interview with the prime minister of israel followed by "the dick van dyke show" and "madam secretary" only only cbs. what to you think the attitude is on the 49ers sidelineright now? >> trent: go for the win. you have three time-outs. you have 38 seconds. here's the team that all afternoon has looked at breaking a 11-game losing streak. the lead has gone by the board for the moment. you and write here when they played new england. they looked good in the first two quarters, three quarters in. it was a three-point game going into the fourth. this team has shown flashes just like they showed flashes in the first half when they almost amassed three -- 300 yards: --
7:05 pm
fence. now they've gone flat. >> greg: they have all three time-outs remaining. shepherd will not run this out of the end zone. meanwhile, you mentioned earlier about phil dawson, what he didn't do. >> trent: yeah, he had a 4 44-yarder in the first half. scored on possession 3 and vital missed points at this stage of the game. >> greg: so kaepernick and company at the 25 yard line. 38 seconds on the clock. three time-outs remaining. kaepernick throwing incomplete. intended for chris harper. it will be second and 10. >> trent: harris putting pressure on kaepernick.
7:06 pm
he wasn't able to sit for the receiver and wait for him to get open. threw that with some heat. ended up on the back shoulder. you have to be careful if you're the 49ers. you don't want to be too risky. you don't want to put yourself in a situation where you turn it over and the jets get good field position. >> greg: blitz. got rid of it. incomplete. forced to hurry the throw. overthrew harper. third and 10. >> greg: the jets with the worst two-minute offense in the national football league just managed 14 points in the final two minutes. came up with the three they needed to tie this game. >> trent: the jets not sitting back defensively and playing catch. a lot of times, defensive-minded head coaches will play a prevent trying to keep everything in front of them and make the tackle. the jets blitzed on the first
7:07 pm
two down. >> greg: draughn wrapped up, a time-out is called. the fans upset with the grounds game on third down. >> trent: they should be. you understand why they did it. you wanted to force the jets to cam a time you'd. if you end up throwing a ball, getting an incompletion, that stops the clock. the jets have two time-outs instead of the one. >> greg: the last thing you mentioned was turning it over down here. >> trent: yeah. they tried making short throws. it wasn't like they were extending the field. the second throw was seven or eight yards. the jets were just not allowing it. >> greg: it's an offense, the 49ers offense that has gone sideways in the second half and managed two first downs. >> trent: this return becomes vital. you go or the the block and get
7:08 pm
the field position. highers percentage is setting up the block and give your team some room. >> greg: fair catch. at the 32. 18 seconds on the clock. jets with one time-out. nick folk. 35 yards to get him within range. >> trent: we just saw him make the 50-yarder. he didn't make it by a lot. so we mentioned the fact we saw him try 55 and 56 in warmups and didn't have enough leg on that. the target line is the 35. that would make it a 53-yarder. you got a time-out so you can utilize the whole field here. can't be too risky with it. don't risk the turnover. >> greg: petty with time. over the middle. that's across midfield is. that a catch?
7:09 pm
incomplete. >> trent: two officials marking it as complete. they were setting the mark. the officials from the back came in and said it hit the ground. >> referee: the ruling on the field is an incomplete pass. >> greg: inside of two minutes, it's automatically reviewed up top. right tackle, brent qvale just rimed off >> trent: here's a third look at it. let's see -- you can see the cone of the football here hit the turf. that clearly hit the ground from that angle. >> greg: 13 seconds.
7:10 pm
basically a three-man rush for the 49ers. they're going to give it to powell. powell looking for the sideline. out of bounds at the 36. with seven seconds to play. >> trent: we mentioned the number of linemen out today. two linemen out. and qvale going out on the last play. to say your young quarterback is going to hold it off, that's probably the smartest approach. the jets are going to call time-out. >> greg: yeah. the jets will use their third
7:11 pm
and final time-out. we talked about brice petty's arm all day. a hail mary will get them in the general area. >> trent: the other option is to run the game and the clock out. i think if you were going to do that, you would have ran a play and then saved that last time-out for the launch into the end zone. you know, let's say -- [ audio difficulties ] >> greg: 49ers with all three time-outs remaining. powell for a first down but time
7:12 pm
runs out on them. >> trent: yeah. you get if first down, no need for the 49ers to call a time-out. >> greg: so chip kelly and the 49ers trying to snap the 11-game losing streak. overtime rules. one 15 minute touchdown. safety or touchdown on the first possession wins. if the score is tied after that, each time has two time-outs. everything is reviewed by the booth. clear on that. >> greg: well, you know, you think about how this game just played out. really -- the way it started out with the interception on the first pass play, i'm sitting here. i paused because i look at the entire 49er side line is yelling at the officials. nick folk went out on the field and work at the different angles
7:13 pm
and you can't do that. you can't be practicing field goals. that drew my attention there. >> greg: he did it. >> trent: they got him off before he got any kicks. >> referee: captains, play a maximum of 15 minute overtime period. the first score, the ball game will be over. two time-outs. all replays are from the booth. fourth quarter timing rules apply. new york, you get to call it. you call tails. it's heads. san francisco wants to receive. which goal you want to defend? san francisco will receive to start the overtime. good luck captains. >> greg: the 11th overtime game in the nfl this season. we'll be back. state farm knows, that for every one of those moments,
7:14 pm
there's one of these.... nobody comes into this house without paying the price. not here. not ever. sfx: breaking glass sfx: car alarm well did you get it? more people save money by combining their home and auto with state farm. here to help life go right. state farm. so wany minute,e new you're going to love it. what are you doing? thought it would faster if i carried him. i got to return him though. save me a slice. woo hooo better game days call for better pizza. introducing our new pan pizza with a thick, golden brown crust. your choice of 3-toppings, all for just $10 bucks. add a 2l pepsi for just $2 more. better ingredients. better pizza. papa john's. will your business be ready when growth presents itself? american express open cards can help you take on a new job,

7:16 pm
the jets defense played the way they have expected too and this sails into the end zone. sheppard will down it there. >> trent: it's been an interesting game. from the get-go. >> greg: kaepernick with the touchdown pass to carlos hyde. dawson. to the left. fighting his way to the end zone. powell. the two-point conversion. folk's 51-yard field goal to tie it up. >> trent: would have never guessed after a couple minutes into this game, 14-0 san francisco that we would be headed to overtime. great effort, great comeback by the jets. >> greg: kaepernick complete. forward progress makes it at the 30 for the tight end, celek. >> trent: you're talking about bryce petty and how he responds.
7:17 pm
on the other side, a head coach in his first year in san francisco just trying to set a tone and set a message with football team.done with this >> greg: hyde. hyde to the outside. breaks through. across midfield and bounced out of bounds by myles. what a day running the football carlos hyde has had. 25 yards on that carry. a total on the day of 193 yards rushing. >> trent: coming into today, greg, only had one 100-yard rushing game on the season against seattle. a break-out game for carlos hyde today. >> greg: and draughn replaces him at the 45 of the jets. draughn. no gain on the play. simon wraps him up at the line of scrimmage. what a job by carlos hyde today. >> trent: it has been
7:18 pm
tremendous. look at that. seven yards receiving is the touchdown or part of that is the touchdown catch he had in the first possession. >> greg: what is he tired for? second and 10. kaepernick on the slant. incomplete. third and 10. >> trent: may be the first time all day that we've seen derrell revis make a play. he gets the left arm in there and knocks it away. >> greg: so third and 10. again, jets defense has come up huge in the second half.
7:19 pm
kaepernick. quick pass. the slant. first down. chris harper is short 1 1/2 yards. >> trent: this is that gray area. you can go for the 54-yarder, you can punt it to try to pin them down in there. if you go for it and miss it, you're giving the jets great field position. looks like chip kelly is going for it and give the ball to hyde with his 193 yards rushing. see if he can't get 1 1/2 yards. >> greg: hyde deep in the backfield. hyde with the football. doesn't look like he made it. the jets with the stop on him at the 37 yard line. >> trent: it wasn't much mystery about who would get the football. >> trent: yeah, there wasn't a lot. i thought that kaepernick was
7:20 pm
going to yank it and keep it to the outside. calvin pryor came down in the box to the outside. i'm sure that's what -- if that's a read for kaepernick and those reads are usually off the defensive end or outside linebacker that is there. the outside linebacker collapsed on it. pryor was there. you hand the ball off. nice stop by the jets defensive line. >> greg: now the jets with a shot. powell in the backfield. he gets the hand-off. spinning. just across the 40 yard line. deforest buckner. >> trent: just as we talked about bryce petty and the recovery he made, think about what bilal powell has done. powell has been the workhorse. 107 yards. they try to get folk in position which now would be the
7:21 pm
game-winner. each team with an opportunity to possession the ball. any score at this point time, it would be over. >> greg: powell. first down. close to midfield. >> greg: nick bellore with the stop. and powell has been exceptional. >> trent: and mainly in the second half. you think about how the jets have turned things off on the signed half. had 118 total yards in the second half. so powell has turned things up here at the end of the game. >> greg: powell with his second career 100-yard game running. he had 116.
7:22 pm
petty. getting outside. sets himself up. throws over the middle and caught at the 25 yard line. robby anderson with the grab. >> trent: what a gutsy throw by bryce petty. one of the thing as a quarterback you learn is when you roll one direction to throw back across your body, this is the gutsy throw. running out to his level. he plants and throws back across the field he puts it up high. only anderson can get it. >> greg: robby anderson is the receiver he's most familiar with. robby anderson, the leading receiver. 6 for 99 yards today. play clock down to five. they call a time-out. >> trent: petty said they can be too confident. i have a lot of confidence in the throws i make. that's to my detriment. i tried squeezing things in
7:23 pm
there. >> greg: and he rolled left and had to turn himself around to get the throw-away. >> trent: a difficult throw to make. that's having a lot of confidence if your receivers. a lot of confidence in your arm strength and accuracy. he came up big. >> greg: robby anderson, 6'3" 190 pound agent out of temple. next score wins this game. the jets at the san francisco 25. powell. off of a helmet. the gain of about 1 1/2 yards. >> trent: this is the part of the field as a defense where you try to bring pressure, try to
7:24 pm
bring blitzes because you want to affect the field goal distance. when you do that, you're susceptible to the big play. as a play caller, you have to factor those things in. do i all of a sudden go max protection and try to get more time if i take the shot or stay conservative and work the field position you have. >> greg: i was going to ask, would you take an end zone shot? >> trent: i would. i'm aggressive. >> greg: and we get motion up front. >> referee: false start, offense. number 71. five-yard penalty, second down. >> they said 71. looked like it was james carpenter getting ready. that's who it was. >> trent: yeah, carpenter. >> greg: so now it's second and 13. >> trent: see how he turned and looked at petty like it was his
7:25 pm
fault? that's a crucial penalty. you don't get any more yardage, you're talking 46, 45 from a field goal standpoint. you need some of these yards back. >> greg: powell. powell running to the right side. bulls his way inside the 20 to the 18 yard line. >> trent: that's the risk you take. like the offensive play with a third and one, fourth and one and you get the big crease, the big run. that's exactly what happens as the right side of the line created a lane. powell picked up the nice chunk of yards. >> greg: third and 3. >> trent: well within field goal range. get everybody set. >> greg: penalty marker flies. powell goes left side.
7:26 pm
to the 10, to the 5 and touchdown! let's check the flag. >> trent: they're doing to say enunwa. actually, looked like lined up in the neutral zone. >> referee: off sides, defense. number 55. the penalty declined. the result of the play, is a touchdown. >> greg: and the new york jets snapped their four-game losing streak, win number 4 of the year and hand the san francisco 49ers a 12th straight loss. >> trent: that's a tremendous comeback for the jets. they were down 14-0 early on with a young quarterback, bilal powell. a huge day for the jets. 145 yards rushing. what a big blow to the 49ers blowing that 14-point lead. >> greg: how about bryce petty? todd bowles. >> trent: the fly back home will
7:27 pm
have a few more smiles. yeah. there's bryce petty and colin kaepernick talking there. bryce petty can't say enough about the effort that he put together and the way he responded. >> greg: once again, the jets in overtime. tonight on cbs, it's "60 minutes" followed by "the dick van dyke show", "madam secretary and "elementary." so long from levi stadium. you've been watching the nfl on cbs. but anyone could save money with geico. ♪
7:28 pm
>> trailing by six in the fourth quarter. kirk cousins goes deep and finds jackson who makes the willie mays over-the-shoulder grab. he goes 80 yards for pay dirt for the scored. the eagles quarterback couldn't do anything by say hey. >> geico, 15 minutes could say you 15% or more on car insurance.
7:29 pm
so can i [lip syncing] d rewards any way you want it. that's the way you need it. any way you want it. yes to any seat, any day, any time. that's transfarency®.
7:30 pm
7:31 pm
and ford. we go further, so you can. >> i know donald trump. i know him very well, and i think his attitude, his support for israel is clear. he feels very warmly about the jewish state, about the jewish people and about jewish people. there's no question about that. >> with trump, do you think that israel will not be as at odds with the united states as you have been under the obama administration? >> yeah, we had differences of opinion with-- i had differences of opinion with president obama. >> was it personal between the two of you? >> how do you stop a war close to christmas? this television ad campaign helped. with colombian special forces,
7:32 pm
it was shot near guerrilla strongholds that were decorated with christmas lights. each tree was rigged with a motion detector that lit up the tree and a banner when the guerrillas walked by at night. it read, "if christmas can come to the jungle, you can come home." >> what we did was try to make coming back home for christmas an important thing. >> and it worked? >> and it worked incredibly well. >> tell me about the night you got lost. what do you remember? >> it's a memory that's been within me for such a long time. >> saroo was just five years old when he got lost, and as depicted in the movie, he ended up on a train that took him a thousand miles away. no way to know how to get home. >> it's a ghost train. no one's on the train. and-- >> and the train is hurtling down the tracks-- >> it's hurtling down the tracks.
7:33 pm
i was locked in the carriage. i couldn't open it. >> and you're five years old. >> and i'm five years old. >> i'm steve kroft. >> i'm leslie stahl. >> i'm bill whitaker. >> i'm lara logan. >> i'm scott pelley. those stories, tonight on "60 minutes." >> cbs money watch, sponsored by american express open. proud supporter of growing businesses. >> quijano: good evening. iran announced today it is purchasing 80 passenger jets from boeing for $16.6 billion. the federal reserve is expected to raise short-term interest rates this week. and opec and non-opec nations reached a deal this weekend to cut oil production. i'm elaine quijano, cbs news.
7:34 pm
7:35 pm
i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but no matter what path i take, i go for my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily...
7:36 pm
and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i'm still going for my best. and for eliquis. ask your doctor about eliquis. >> stahl: on our recent trip to jerusalem, we found a surprisingly optimistic benjamin netanyahu, who has served the longest stretch as prime minister in israel's history. he told us his country has never felt as secure or less isolated. but it's been a tumultuous eight
7:37 pm
years between israel and the u.s., over the iran nuclear deal and the expansion of jewish settlements in the occupied west bank, so part of his optimism relates to the election in the u.s. netanyahu and his followers on the israeli right are greeting the idea of president donald trump with a resounding l'chaim. >> benjamin netanyahu: i know donald trump. i know him very well, and i think his attitude, his support for israel is clear. he feels very warmly about the jewish state, about the jewish people and about jewish people. there's no question about that. >> stahl: with trump, do you think that israel will not be as at odds with the united states as you have been under the obama administration? >> netanyahu: yeah, we had differences of opinion with-- i had differences of opinion with president obama and most well- known, of course, is iran. >> stahl: was it personal between the two of you?
7:38 pm
>> netanyahu: no. no, i don't think so. i think that-- suppose we had the greatest of personal chemistry, okay? so, what? you think i wouldn't stand up against the iran deal if i thought, as i did, that it endangers the existence of israel? of course i would. >> stahl: he says it wasn't personal, but there were times when it sure seemed that way. the relationship, often rocky, hit bottom when mr. netanyahu took the provocative step last year of lobbying against the iran nuclear deal, and by extension, president obama, in a speech before congress. >> netanyahu: it doesn't block iran's path to the bomb, it paves iran's path to the bomb. so why would anyone make this deal? >> stahl: when you campaigned against him and you spoke to the congress, it was read as a lack of respect and something that had never been done before. >> netanyahu: no, it was not
7:39 pm
borne of any disrespect, because i have the greatest respect for him. i had then and i have now. >> stahl: but do you regret that you did that? >> netanyahu: no, on the contrary. i think that it's my responsibility to speak up when something threatens our very future. >> stahl: he's says he's going to see mr. trump soon to lobby him to scuttle the deal. the president elect has called the agreement "stupid" and "a disgrace." but trump's choice for defense secretary, general james mattis has advised against pulling out. if it were to be abrogated, wouldn't that put you in a more precarious position than you are now? because they would obviously then rush to the bomb. >> netanyahu: i think iran didn't rush to the bomb before there was a deal. >> stahl: really? >> netanyahu: no, because they were afraid of retribution. >> stahl: but if-- okay, you get rid of the deal. then what? >> netanyahu: i think what options we have are much more than you think. many more. and i'll talk about it-- >> stahl: like what?
7:40 pm
>> netanyahu: --with president trump. well, i think quite a few, actually. >> stahl: because if you, you know, put sanctions back on, the other signatories to the deal won't. >> netanyahu: there are ways, various ways of undoing it. >> stahl: you have something in your mind. >> netanyahu: yeah, i have about five things in my mind. >> stahl: well, give me one. >> netanyahu: well, i'd like to talk to the president before i talk to "60 minutes." >> stahl: what about the intelligence that the west is getting from on-site inspections? apparently, most of the intelligence community thinks it's worth keeping the deal for that intelligence. >> netanyahu: i think we have-- the deal is not the critical thing of intelligence. intelligence is a critical thing. ( laughs ) >> stahl: which israel is really good at. >> netanyahu: which is-- we're very good at. and you know, with a little help-- >> stahl: so you don't think we're-- >> stahl: --gaining that much by these on-site inspections? >> netanyahu: for intelligence? >> stahl: yeah. >> netanyahu: no. >> stahl: what about the silver lining? that because of this deal, you now have all this-- these better relationships with your neighbors. >> netanyahu: oh, well, that's true. i would say-- i will say this. the only good thing-- --i can
7:41 pm
say about the deal with iran is that it brought the arab states and israel closer together. >> stahl: it's the old proverb: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. on a trip to the desert town of be'er sheva, he told us there's been a tectonic shift: it's been reported that israel and the arab world are sharing intelligence. >> netanyahu: all i can tell you is that israel's position in the arab world has changed because they no longer see israel as their enemy, but as their ally, in their indispensable battle against the forces of militant islam, either those led by iran, the shiites, or-- and those led by daesh, by isis, the militant sunnis. >> stahl: we hear that you have dramatically improved your relationship with egypt. is that correct? >> netanyahu: yes. >> stahl: jordan? >> netanyahu: yes. >> stahl: saudi arabia? >> netanyahu: no comment. >> stahl: i have to ask you, because it's the most fascinating of all: israel and saudi arabia. are you actually developing an
7:42 pm
anti-iran alliance in the middle east? >> netanyahu: doesn't have to be developed. it's there anyway. >> stahl: israel is developing a whole skein of new alliances, in some cases with countries that have been challenging the u.s. around the world; like russia, which has placed its troops in syria, israel's next door neighbor. how would you describe your relationship with russia right now? >> netanyahu: it's amicable. but the minute mr. putin decided to put his military forces in syria, i went to see him. and i said, "look, here's what i'm doing. i'm not intervening in syria. but at the same time, if syria tries to intervene with us, if iran tries to use syria to attack us, we'll stop it. >> stahl: you're telling mr. putin that you will attack? >> netanyahu: i said, "we should avoid this." and he said "i agree." so we coordinated between our militaries, because no one wants
7:43 pm
an inadvertent israeli-russian clash. >> stahl: you have a friendship with mr. putin, and a friendship with china. you seem to be inching toward an anti-american bloc. >> netanyahu: god, no. let me tell you something-- >> stahl: well, talk about that, because i think there's an impression of that. >> netanyahu: that's a false impression. first of all, there is, there is an irreplaceable ally. it's called the united states of america. >> stahl: yeah, but here you are making friends with our adversaries-- >> netanyahu: so no. you have relations with russia and you have relations with china. we can have relations, economic relations, trade relations with other countries, as you do. why not? >> stahl: he has used economic and trade relations to improve israel's standing in the world by selling, and in some cases, giving away, its high-tech inventions. israel boasts of more start-ups per capita than anywhere in the world, many based in be'er sheva, and nations have lined up
7:44 pm
to buy drones, as india has, and cutting edge agricultural technology, as china has. there's excitement about a new innovation that extracts drinking water out of air. so this is israeli diplomacy through technology? >> netnyahu: exactly right. >> stahl: countries that used to vote against you regularly at the u.n. are now your clients. i mean, african nations-- >> netnyahu: it's a revolution there. we can't keep up. >> stahl: what's surprising is that he's making progress with all these countries, without making any progress with the palestinians, who have lived under israeli occupation in the west bank for half a century. what about the quality of palestinians' lives? you know, it's 50 years since what people call "the occupation." it's 50 years. you still have checkpoints. people have to be cleared.
7:45 pm
soldiers everywhere in their lives. >> netanyahu: actually, i've lifted checkpoints quite a bit, and we're trying to create bridges and thoroughfares and so on, so we can have freer movement. palestinians know-- they look at aleppo in syria, and they look at yemen, and they look at libya, and they look at other places, and they know that our intention is coexistence. >> stahl: you told us that israel is less isolated today than it has been in many years in the past. and yet, at the same time, you're losing support in-- in western europe. >> netanyahu: isolated? all these countries are coming to israel and it's a fantastic change. >> stahl: but not western europe. not you, your natural allies, or your older allies yet. >> netanyahu: well, they're coming-- >> stahl: they call you colonials. >> netanyahu: they're coming around too. >> stahl: but they call you occupiers. >> netanyahu: well, they call us a lot of things, but i think they're coming around too, i have to tell you. >> stahl: but criticism has spread, on u.s. campuses, too. there's a movement called
7:46 pm
b.d.s., to boycott, divest, and sanction israel and its products, because of the palestinian issue, the unresolved palestinian issue. and this is the playbook that they used, you know, against apartheid in south africa-- >> netanyahu: yeah, well, i don't buy it. it's not about this or that issue. it's against the very existence of the state of israel. >> stahl: you know what they want? i know what they want. they want you to stop expanding and building settlements. >> netanyahu: yeah, well, we did. we stopped. we stopped in gaza. we tore out the settlements and gave the palestinians gaza. and what happened? did we get peace? we got 20,000 rockets on our heads and terror tunnels. >> stahl: still, his critics argue that's not a justification for the steady expansion of the settlements in the west bank. those settlements are smothering palestinians' hope for their own separate state. >> netanyahu: i think the obsession, the focus on settlements as though this were the issue and this is the obstacle to peace, i disagree with that.
7:47 pm
>> stahl: but it is an obstacle. i mean-- >> netanyahu: no, it's not an obstacle. >> stahl: well, you say that, but they don't say that. >> netanyahu: yeah, but i'll say something else. the real reason we haven't had peace is because of a persistent refusal of the palestinians to recognize a jewish state in any border. "you ask us to recognize you, i'm willing to do that. i ask you to recognize us. recognize the jewish state, for god's sake." and if they do, this thing will begin to correct itself very quickly. >> stahl: it's a condition he doesn't put on his new friends. have any of the arab states said they accept israel as a jewish state? >> netanyahu: yeah, they say a lot of things in various forms. >> stahl: and never actually said they accept you. >> netanyahu: do they say it publicly at this point? not yet. >> stahl: he acknowledges that the arab states want to see movement on the palestinian issue. but despite washington's call for a halt, settlement expansion has continued, even after the u.s. gave israel a $38 billion military aid package.

netanyahu and the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas recently greeted each other at the funeral of former israeli president shimon peres. but the two have not held open, direct negotiations in over six years, for which they blame each other. what kind of a state is it going to be if you just, you know, don't do anything? >> netanyahu: i'm not going to just not do anything. i'm going to do something. >> stahl: well, if you don't negotiate with the palestinians- - >> netanyahu: well, i'm willing to negotiate with them at any moment. >> stahl: and if it doesn't happen? >> netanyahu: i haven't reversed my position. i've said, "look, we will solve this because we want two nation states at peace and with the proper security arrangements. >> stahl: you would be pushing for a two-state solution if that-- >> netanyahu: two states for two peoples. and that's where i'm focused. yeah, i'd like to have president trump, when he gets into the

>> logan: for more than half a century, colombia was one of the most violent and isolated countries on earth, infamous for cartels, cocaine, and kidnapping. the revolutionary armed forces of colombia, or farc, fought the government in the longest running war in the western hemisphere-- until recently, when colombia achieved what many thought was impossible. the war is effectively over, the country transformed. how do you end a 52-year war that left 220,000 dead and
7:53 pm
millions displaced, against a revolutionary army dedicated to overthrowing the government? billions in u.s. aid helped, but the colombian military came up with one of the most unusual ideas in modern warfare: an advertising campaign. they hired a creative ad executive, jose miguel sokoloff, to convince thousands of fighters to give up without firing a shot. how did sokoloff do it? with soccer balls and christmas trees. >> jose miguel sokoloff: advertising is a very, very powerful force. in the good you can do, by changing minds of people in certain ways-- >> logan: that's why it's powerful. >> sokoloff: that's why it's powerful. he wanted peace forever. >> logan: it was the power to change minds that brought colombia's deputy minister of defense to jose miguel sokoloff's ad agency in 2006. ( explosion ) the military had brought the farc to their knees and were looking for a new weapon to end the war.
7:54 pm
so they asked sokoloff, one of the world's top ad men, to create a series of campaigns and tv commercials to convince the guerillas to surrender and the colombian people to accept them back. >> sokoloff: this gives us the chance to apply our skills to something that is fundamentally important to us, to our kids, to our country. ♪ ♪ >> logan: in december 2010, they launched "operation christmas" which they filmed for commercials that played on local tv. at great risk, blackhawk helicopters carried two of sokoloff's colleagues, led by colombian special forces, into rebel territory. they found nine 75-foot trees near guerilla strongholds and decorated them with christmas lights. each tree was rigged with a motion detector that lit up the tree and a banner when the guerillas walked by at night.
7:55 pm
it read: "if christmas can come to the jungle, you can come home. demobilize. at christmas, everything is possible." >> sokoloff: what we did was try to make coming back home for christmas an important thing. and we knew that if we put up-- up these christmas trees with that sign up there, we would touch the hearts of the guerrillas, because my hearts-- my heart was touched. and they went and they did it. >> logan: and it worked? >> sokoloff: and it worked incredibly well. >> logan: he said 331 guerillas, roughly 5% of the rebel force at the time, demobilized. they came out of the jungle and gave up. this is spectacular. >> sokoloff: it's beautiful, isn't it? >> logan: like most colombians, sokoloff was born into war and grew up here in bogota without knowing a day of peace. in the beginning, what was the purpose of the campaign? >> sokoloff: it was always exactly the same: demobilize as many guerillas as possible.
7:56 pm
>> logan: as with any ad campaign, they began with research. their focus group: former guerillas. sokoloff's team tracked them down and interviewed them. >> sokoloff: we found the common denominator of all those stories is that a guerilla is as much a prisoner of his organization than the people he holds hostage. >> logan: there was no way out? >> sokoloff: there was no way out. and it certainly softened me up when i heard these stories. and i said, these poor people. >> logan: and you never expected that you would feel that way? >> sokoloff: i didn't expect them to be so human. >> but how do you reach your target audience, when they are hiding in 150,000 square miles of jungle? the rivers, they discovered, are the highways of the jungle. so they launched their second christmas campaign, "operation rivers of light." they asked people in nearby villages to send messages and gifts to the guerillas, which
7:57 pm
were placed inside capsules that glowed in the dark, then floated down the river. >> sokoloff: so you just put them there and these lit up at night. and-- >> logan: wow. >> sokoloff: when you see that beautiful thing coming down the river, you can't help but being touched by it. >> logan: how many lights like that did you send? >> sokoloff: almost 7,000. >> logan: one of the messages was from colombia's president juan manuel santos, who was just awarded the nobel peace prize for his efforts to end the war. and you did this with the colombian military? >> sokoloff: absolutely, we couldn't have done it without them. >> logan: it humanizes them as much as you've tried to humanize the guerillas. >> sokoloff: exactly. >> logan: sokoloff and his military partners never let up. they rolled out dozens of campaigns, each uniquely designed to show the guerillas the way out, with beams of light, stickers on trees and
7:58 pm
voices of ex-guerilla leaders booming across the jungle. but no voice was more powerful than their mothers. >> sokoloff: she's waiting for you, she's been waiting for you for at least 20 years in some cases. >> logan: in 2013, sokoloff found 27 mothers of guerrillas. they gave his agency photos of their sons and daughters as young children, that only they could recognize. during christmas, flyers with those photos were placed all over the jungle. >> sokoloff: and the message was before you were a guerrilla, you were my child. so come home, because i'm-- i will always be waiting for you at christmastime. >> logan: we call that going for the jugular-- >> sokoloff: ( laughs ) yes. >> logan: --jose, because wow. ♪ ♪ >> sokoloff: 218 people with this campaign gave up their weapons and came home and
7:59 pm
stopped shooting. so, whatever number you get out is people that you don't have to fight. >> logan: what was your most successful campaign? >> sokoloff: football. >> logan: football? >> sokoloff: football. always football. football-- ( laughs ) --moves this country. football is our passion. >> logan: it was a passion shared by the guerillas, who often stopped fighting during matches. when colombia hosted the under 20 world cup in 2011-- >> goal colombia! >> logan: --sokoloff kicked off a new campaign. soldiers armed with thousands of soccer balls entered stadiums and players, celebrities, and fans all signed them. they loaded them onto helicopters and threw them out over the jungle, each with a sticker that said "demobilize. let's play again." over eight years, 18,000 guerillas put down their weapons and came home, in large part because of sokoloff's campaigns. the ads helped bring the farc to

the negotiating table in 2012. during the peace talks, sokoloff said guerilla leaders asked the government to stop airing his commercials. soon after, they agreed to a ceasefire. >> sokoloff: colombians started feeling confident, started feeling that we could do whatever we wanted. ♪ ♪ we started feeling secure and safe, the fear started going away, and as we went outside and the world came here, it was infectious. >> logan: the energy. >> sokoloff: the energy was incredible. and that is what the world sees now of colombia. >> logan: colombia's spirit, once buried by war, has risen again. in the last ten years, international investment is up over 100%; tourism 240%. not long ago, it was too dangerous to go out at night; now, clubs in bogota are bursting with
