8:01 am
larry gat lynn live in our second cup cafe. all that and more early saturday morning september 12th, 2009. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "the early show." you just saw the picture, a little gray, a little wet here in new york but i'm told it is going to get better. i'm chris wragge. >> and i'm debbye turner bell. nice to be here. i didn't bring the rain. >> it's so good to have you here. i wasn't going to blame you for that. a whole lot of great things coming up. one of the things we do want it talk about is how to dump your doctor. it's not so tough if you can't get an appointment, if you feel rushed when you're sitting with your doctor and if your diagnosis is usually incorrect. so we'll show you how to dump your doctor and then how to go
8:02 am
find a doctor that is right for you. >> it is a hard thing because he's an authority figure. also even though we get older, we like to look like we're 20 for the rest of our lives. we'll talk about how to take care of your skin through your 30s, 40s and fiftd, what the big robs are and how to do it and not break the bank. >> easier said than done but great products to show you you. let's get to our top story and that is the h1n1 f outbreak. a cornell university student died yesterday of complications related to the virus. the death follow as new poll which suggests more than people are concerned about an outbreak than another terrorist attack. but there is good news this morning. it hooks like an anticipated h1n1 vaccine due out in october will only require one dose instead of two. for more we it turn to dr. anthony fouchi. good morning to you. >> good morning. if ir could get your reaction quickly to this faytal difference the cornell student
8:03 am
last night. it seem as though with 7,000 cases around campuses already with the fall semester just starting campuses are really getting hit hard. >> the cam pugss and other schools are getting hit hard. any death is tragic particularly in a young person. this particular flu, this pandemic flu virus that is back in the schools is a virus that's generally a mild disease, but it preferentially inspects young individuals and then every once in a while rarely but it tragically happen you get someone who seriously isll and dies. and that's the reason why the whole idea of getting the vaccine to people who immediate it particularly young people and others at high resk like preg risk like pregnant women is very important. >> should parents be genuinely concerned if their kids are away at either boarding school or college because, again, from this standpoint, 7,000 cases like i mentioned, it this has to
8:04 am
scare a lot of people. >> as i said, it is really generally a mild illness aunt the vast vast overwhelming of people but every once in a while, flu is a disease that you have to take seriously and every once in a while, a young person had get sick and will get seriously ill. i don't think parents should be concerned because in the big picture of things it is a very very rare event that happens. but it does happen unfortunately. >> want to talk about a story in the "new york times" this morning, a story that you're quoted in. even deem yol gis said friday that they expected peak of swine flu to come as early as next month and that is earlier than what they're predicting the actual vaccine to be available for people across the country. are we looking at a possible peak before the vaccine's readily available? >> i think we have to be careful when we talk about peak because if you look at the map of the country, each year with flu, there are peaks at different regions of the country. and certainly in certain situations there will be some
8:05 am
places where you have an explosioning of infections that have not gotten the vaccine available to them. we saw that in washington state university where a couple of thousand students got infected and the vaccine was not available. so there will be some regions that will get hit before the vaccine becomes available, but we're hoping that the vast majority of people who will need the vaccine will get the vaccine in time. >> we just took a look at a map some of hot spots. the southeast is an area right now that's been hit spre pretty hard. any reason why in. >> no we don't know why that's the case. it may be that in the spring wave that area of the country did not get particularly hit hard whereas in other regions. country, for example, energy city got hit quite hard particularly in the schools. so it's the possibility that the people in the southeast part of the country are so naive, as it were to the virus in the sense that they've not had previous exposure, where others may have had it and, therefore, it
8:06 am
doesn't sweep through them as readily. that's one of the explanations that generally we get when we see these kinds of blips. >> i have to let you know, but if i can get a a yes or no answer. are you more concerned now than you were a month ago go? >> no i'm less concerned because we have a vaccine that works with within dose, which is very good news. >> thank you for taking the time to join us. we appreciate it. president obama's speech to congress wednesday gave a needed shot in the arm to his ailing health care proposal. according to a new poll a majority of americans now favor his handling of health care reform. can he to the same for his stimulus package? on monday the president will speak on wall street and attempt to convince america the economy is on the mend. meanwhile, he continues his reform campaign at a rally in minneapolis today. cbs news correspondent kimberly
8:07 am
doze zer. >> reporter: for the rales today's speech is trying to build positive momentum about. >> that's what this plan will do for you. >> reporter: on which is the prz convinced many americans to give his health care plan a chance when he laid out specifics to congress. a new cbs news poll shows that 52% of americans now approve his handling of health care up from 40% last week. that could help get reform through congress. >> he can hammer away at the themes that he he pursued in that speech and begin to turn the public climate enough that the swing democrats he needs and maybe some republicans who really don't want to be identified as the part difference no begin to move in his direction. >> reporter: the same goes for the economy. on monday he'll head to wall street for the anniversary of the collapse of lee man brother the idea to dwins the stimulus working slowly. >> the president will try to take credit for the good things
8:08 am
that happen but caution that we're in the out of this yet. >> reporter: it if he can pin public trust, people may start spending again and that will keep the economy moving ahead. kimberly dozier cbs news, washington. p. >> joining us now is an assist assistant professor at george washington university. we heard the polls are up by 12%, which is huge. what did he say or what did he do, do you think, that caused such a big jump? >> well, it is in fact, a big jump, but i really think what happened was he had a chance to speak to the country. this was one of the most widely watched speeches he's given since he's been inaugurated as president. and he enabled people to see that the improvement he's
8:09 am
talking about is not a a scary reform, but actually something that will be good for everyone who needs health insurance. so i think that's the big part of it. secondly i think it's also important to note that the outburst from representative joe wilson i think helps make the president looks more substantial on this issue and the president looks better by comparison to his opponents who appear to be simply trying to thwart what it is he wants to do as opposed to providing some viable alternatives. >> it's interesting that you say that because, of course, when south carolina joe wilson had this outburst he was roundly denounced by republicans and democrats, but since then his supporters and constituents and other conservative pundits have said he said the right thing. do you really think he helped the president in. >> i do, because i think the
8:10 am
others on the fence conditions help but look at it as unnecessarily disrespectful to the president. it makes perfect sense that his constituents and people linked to him would be teenfine with what he said, but they were never going to be with the president. i'm more focused with those in the middle who might see him as someone who can't be taken seriously. and if you can't be taken seriously, then by extension the party owe posing the president may not be taken seriously. >> the president's going to make a speech about the economy here in new york city on monday. what does he have to do to convince the public that the economy is improving? >> i think that's some data to back him up on that. consumer confidence is up and i think that if he can continue to show take the steps the administration is taking are helping ease the pain and muft country in the right direction, he'll be fine. one speech can't fix it but it's part of a larger narrative that i think could be very helpful. >> all right, professor thank
8:11 am
you so much for your time. and now for the rest of the morning's new, we have kate sullivan from wcbs tv. good morning. let's get you caught up on your headlines. a as part of his push for health care reform president obama is on "60 minutes" tomorrow night. he said the overhaul is not only important for the country, it is important for his presidency. >> i have no idea in having a bill get pass that had fails, that doesn't work. i intend to be president for a while and once this bill passes i own it. and if people look and say, you know what, this hasn't reduced my costs, my premiums are still going up 25%, insurance companies are still jerking me around, i'm the onewonone who's going
8:12 am
to be held responsible. so i have every incentive to get this right. >> and you can see the entire interview tomorrow night on "60 minutes" about. meanwhile the coast guard is promising to look into its conduct of a training exercise in the potomac. the simulated attack involving speed boats friday came while president obama was near by at the pentagon ceremonies marking 9/11. the mock radio exercises prompted two radio networks to report an attack was underwear. police in new haven are doing a frame by frame study of security cameras at yale university hoping to find a clue into the disappearance of student annie lep she vanished without a trace just days before her wedding. robert gholston of our heart forward affiliate reports. >> reporter: police officers are handing out missing person posters. there is a nationwide search for annie le the 24-year-old graduate student who is supposed to be getting ready for her
8:13 am
wedding day on sunday has not been seen since tuesday. police are getting all sorts of tips. michael was near the lab where she was last seen. >> i was walking with somebody up toward the bus stop. it was just a quick glance. >> reporter: yale police is leading the search with help from the fbi, state and local police. annie's fiance and family are also helping. in this video, you can siani walking into the lab around 10:00 in the morning. there was smoke alarm that went off that same day. >> yes, everybody just walk outside. >> reporter: yale says the alarm seems to be coincidental it was not intentionally pulled. between between all of the agencies investigating, there are at least 100 officials looking for the student. they have gone through her computer and continue to review surveillance video to see if there are anymore clues as to where she could be. before annie walked in to the lab, yale says she was in her office several blocks away where investigators found her purse, wallet and money.
8:14 am
>> you did kind of think new haven is somewhat of a safe city. >> reporter: late friday yale offered a $10,000 reward for any information that will help find annie le. a suspect it in custody for the murder of a michigan anti-abortion rights activist. harlan james draek was arrestke was arrested friday. he took offense when a sign was held up with graphic images of a fetus fetus. after 70 year derek jeter has another piece of new york yankees history. in the third inning friday night with a single up the first baseline jeter broke lou gehrig's team record if most hits. rain soaked crowd roaring a and jeter's teammates poured out of
8:15 am
dug out to congratulate him on his 2722 hit. and with all the rain yesterday, i wasn't s in. you either love them or hate them, but derrick jeet erk everybody seems to love. just a class act. let's talk about the weather because speaking of new york city there's a low pressure system basically sitting right in our area. it will be bringing wet weather from central new england all the way down to florida va have a. if you follow that front associated with that low down to the gulf coast states i see a wet day for you, as well frrks texas to florida, but the difference is temperatures in the 90s thashs will be possiy severe at time, wet weather around the the system that came through brought us the rain moving away. mostly cloudy with air quaffs
8:16 am
fog late. 60 up tomorrow to 82 degrees with sunshine and warmer that low pressure system around new york also bringing in some cooler air. yesterday we were in the 60s temperature today we'll struggle to hit 70. and it's still summertime officially. not fall until the 22nd. >> you can't tell by feeling it. >> windy and wet. tomorrow is better. up next eight years after 9/11 will we ever findladen? the very latest from two former cia agents. and is it time to tell your doctor that you want to see other people? six warning signs you got the wrong fish. and how to find a better one.
8:17 am
8:18 am
with all the technology manpower and intelligence available to the united states today, it's hard to imagine one single man can elude a worldwide drag for almost a decade, but
8:19 am
yesterday marked eight years since the hunt for osama bin laden began. to give us insight, art keller who was based in pakistan while working on the hunt for bin laden, and from washington, a former cia senior officer who headed up the certainly hunt. good morning. i'll start with you, it's been eight years like we mentioned, are we any closer to capturing bin laden? >> i think we are, but not necessarily because of what we are doing here. but because there's been a significant shift in pakistani public opinion. and that has kind of empowered the pakistani army and our allies to be more proactive about cracking down on the taliban and the people that al queda depend on for this support. >> does this shift in public perception in pakistan help? i know the pakistani government has provided enough resistance.
8:20 am
>> i think there has been a shift, but it's been complimented by a shift in a great deterioration in the receptivity of pakistanis to the united states. it may well be that efforts that by the pak army are being offset to a great deal by a really dislike for the united states at this point. >> michael, do you think the -- is this still a priority for the cia right now or is it on on the back burner are there other issues bigger at play. >> >> no, this is not a back burner issue in terms of where it ranks on the list of priority but it's certainly not getting enough manpower or attention simply because we're losing the insurgency in afghanistan and the primary responsibility of the cia right now along with the military is it try to make sure that president karzai's government survives survives. so you have to choose between duties and i think at the moment we're clearly focused more on fighting the taliban than
8:21 am
chazing bin laden. >> so if the focus is on on the taliban, give people an idea how many people are focusing on trying to find bin laden? in what area -- where do you feel he is currently? >> i was more in the southern part of the tribal regions. he hadn't been suspected to be in that area for quite a while. current guesses or rumor, the last i heard, were that he was more in the northern part. and thighs are all vague at this point. as to how many people i can't tell because since 2006, i don't know if they've expanded the number up or down. but it's in the a large number.not a large number. you would think it would be hundreds and hundred, but last i heard, it would have been significantly below that. and it's not a bad idea as mike was saying.
8:22 am
the focus vael on on fightinge reallycus is really fighting the taliban. and al queda depends on them for support. >> how much of an active role is he still playing in the leadership of what goes on? >> i'm not sure he has much of a role in taliban leadership. in terms of his own organization, he is perfectly twhel control. our last two presidents have told us that he's running from rock to rock and cave to cave. and clearly that is not the case. i think mr. keller would tell you if a terrorist is moving around a lot, they'll make a mistake and you'll get him. bin laden is safe wherever he is. he's certainly communicating with his organization given the availability of satellite communications. so i think he's in control. >> and obviously that reward has not done much good. thank you very much for taking

9:38 am
these reports that we haven't seen the official report and we're going by what we're hearing in newspaper, how difficult is this? >> from a fell point of view yes, it's difficult because there are a large range of disorders that can cause ambiguity in what we generally think of in a binary fashion. from a ports point of view it's pretty simple because the rules are quite clear. if you're born female raised as a female through puberty, you can compete as a woman athlete. so those are the published rules of both the iaaf and the ioc and i would say it's pretty simple. >> they're making such a huge controversy over this. so it seems like there's more to it. it doesn't seem to be dying down at all. >> well, unfortunately, this case has caught the attention of the worldwide media and
9:39 am
sensationalized. there have been cases of this sort that have been handled very discreetly in the past. i would say the problem here is the way that this has been handled and is been handled, not necessarily you how the decision should be made or would be made from an athletic point of view. >> there are some using the term hermaphrodite which is no longer the correct term. how do you describe something like this? >> these are birth defects in an area that people are very uncomfortable talking about. it's no different than a child born with a hole in their heart. and there can be differences along a long pathway that leads from the chromosomes to the ultimate expression of what we regard as sex. >> does it give her an
9:40 am
