morning with the fast-moving nor'easter that rolled up the coast the past 24 hours bringing heavy rain and powerful winds now pushing through new england, where dave price, is in rye, new hampshire for us this morning. already feeling the effects, right, dave? >> certainly so, maggie. the wind and rain really beginning to pick up, places like philadelphia and washington, new york, mid-atlantic states, really didn't bear the full brunt of this because it really began to form once it went out into the atlantic and got some of that energy and moisture. now, in areas through new england it is going to be a very, very tough go. even those folks in places like new york and south are still going to see the effect of winds through the next 24 hours or so. now, as far as wind gusts and speeds, we're talking about winds 30 to 50 miles per hour as we roll into sections of new hampshire and massachusetts and into maine. and, as we're talking about the higher elevations, you combine that wind with precip, it could be in the form of snow,

especially above 2000 feet. but, for travelers who are traveling the 95 corridor or flying into places throughout new england today, it is going to be a very tough go and the worst of it probably coming from right now until later in the afternoon. keep in mind they're going to be treacherous conditions on the roadways and the morning will be filled with fog some areas and limited vinlt. it sn s an awful morning here as we say hello to an early nor'easter in new england. back with a full forecast in a little while but it is a raw morning on the new hampshire coast. back to you guys in new york. >> all right, thanks, dave. now to the latest on the 33 miners in chile, they're leaving the hospital one by one, to start new lives with their families. as we hear for the first time about the desperation of their lives underground before rescue efforts began. cbs news correspondent seth doane is in copiapo chile with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: as the miners are leaving the hospital, they will

also be leaving a very carefully controlled communication bubble. journalists will have more access to them and, in fact, there are already cracks emerging in that story line of unity presented so far. the first three miners were released from the hospital late last night in what continues to be a carefully orchestrated pick tear-perfect rescue for. more than two months we've witness ad scene of harmony among them but there are new reports this morning from deep uner ground there were uglier moments we did not see. according to a freelance journalist who interviewed the miners undergrounds, the first 17 days before they were discovered what's extremely intense. there was infighting among them that came to blows, even feelings of despair and even reportedly a fear of cannibalism if the situation grew more desperate. those feelings are in the past for now, as the miners continue to celebrate their new-found

freedom. carlos mamani, the only bolivian of the 33 had worked in the mine just five days before the collapse. he said to the crowd, i'm very thankful and long with chile. he was welcomed home still wearing sunglasses to protect his eyes. but already getting a glimpse of the spotlight. after worrying about their rescue for up to 70 days, day 71 brought the chance for recovery. relatives of jimmy sanchez, the youngest trapped, videotaped their reunion for cbs news. the 19-year-old told the camera he's doing well, but doctors worried he seemed withdrawn. sanchez's uncle, pedro gonzalez, had been dreaming of this day most of the miners appear healthy but doctors are thinking about longer term psychological affects of being in that mine. do you worry about jimmy? >> translator: of course. but i think with all of the

support from his family, that he will be fine, gonzalez told me. at the hospital, one visitor really stood out, chile's president, sebastian pineiro. he challenged the men to a soccer match and joked that the winners could stay in the presidential palace but the losers would have to go back to the mine. of as these 33 men have become global celebrities, their lists of invitations has grown and i've been keeping a list. there's an invitation to the greek islands for two to sit on the sunny beaches paid for by a greek mining company. there are trips to spain and the united kingdom to watch soccer matches, to chile's coast paid for by the tourism board. the runner of the group invited to the new york marathon. even the president of bolivia would like him to come stay at his presidential palace. it's clear that the lives of these 33 men from a small mining community in northern chile is starting to change.

seth doane, cbs news, copiapo, chile. >> maggie snirmsts thanks, harry. at 7:07 turning to politics and a senate debate in nevada that could have a huge impact on the next congress. the senate majority harry reid is slugging it out with a republican challenge, another tea party favorite, sharron angle. our correspondent ben tracy is in las vegas with the latest. good morning, ben. >> reporter: good morning, bag gee. this one of the nastiest and tightest senate races in the country. the polls basically show it is tied. if the tea party can knock off the most powerful man in the u.s. senate that, would be huge for their movement. so last night, in their first and only debate, the candidates were ready to spar. >> i live in a middle class neighborhood in reno, nevada. senator reed lives in the ritz-carlton in washington, d.c. >> reporter: the first punch in a debate that at times found harry reid sxars rated.

>> i'm really disappointed she would suggest that. >> reporter: the two gaffe-prone came clearly with talking points. >> obama-care is destroying our economy. >> that's really extreme. >> extreme. >> obama-care. >> reporter: angle has said she wants to privatize social security. >> an extreme idea, not good and will destroy social security. don't frighten people about social security. >> man up, harry reid, do you need to understand that we have a problem with social security. >> reporter: the debate was mild compared to the two campaigns' increasingly nasty ad war. >> harry reid, the best friend illegals have ever have. >> introducing sharron angle's crazy juice. >> reid says her views on privatizing social security and medicare and abolishing the department of education are too extreme for nevada. yet, anger here against reid is deep, especially among tea partiers.

>> dump harry reid. >> reporter: they blame him for nevada's economic woes, as well as the government bailouts and health care reform in washington. >> in november, harry reid's going out on his ear. >> reporter: despite his well-oiled campaign machine he can't seem to shake the insurgent who just raised a whopping $14 million in the past three months. you're up against an opponent you call extreme and pathological. why aren't you doing better? >> well again, it's a tough time. people are struggling. they're angry because they are struggling. like i said, we've always known it was going to be a difficult race. >> reporter: definitely a tight race. know they debate last night was even more crucial because early voting begins here in nevada here saturday, tomorrow. polls in the state show most people in this state don't like either of these candidates but you could have a situation where you have people filling in the bubble with one hand and holding their he nose with the other. harry? >> ben tracy in las vegas this morning, thank you very much. more now from cbs news political

analyst john dickerson in washington. good morning, john. >> good morning, harry. >> i watched this debate on c-span last night. i'm very curious to know what you think of what happened. >> well, i watched it, as well. clearly there were two differ refnt philosophies on display. harry reid talking about the things he'd brought home to nevada and sharron angle saying a senator's job is not to bring jobs home but create the environment for jobs pushing her limited government argument. neither one of these candidates did a very good job in the debate. they were sort of confusing at times. their talking points came out in this staccotto, sentences seemed to be missing. it was not a great showing by either candidate. >> especially if you're the senate majority leader. you're a guy that's been in this business forever and ever and ever, it seems to me harry reid did not do himself any favors last night. >> people joked about bob dole, the majority leader of the senate, he was stuck in the senate, he would talk about the procedures of senate and harry reid had a lot of that last night.

he was talking in jargony phrases naming bills in washington. he clearly and has always said he's not a great public speaker. but if sharron angle was trying to paint him as a captive of washington, he was will helping the case by behaving like a captive of washington. >> he was carrying the bucket and paintbrush. what if he loses? >> well, if he loses, it's a huge blow for democrats. this is the most important target for republicans out there. then the question is whether the democrats lose all of the senate. if he loses in and democrats keep control there will be a very interesting fight for who the new majority leader will be among the democrats. but if he also loses, this will be a huge boost for the tea party, which is backing sharron angle. >> let's talk about the tea party some more. christine o'donnell had her debate a couple nights ago in delaware and basically said i don't need the republican party. she went on hannity yesterday and said i'm in a fight with these guys and getting all kinds of let's call it unorthodox support in her run down there.

>> well, she's down, according to the polls, by quite a big margin, 19 points, i think in one of them. and so, this race is so different than the angle race so, close, neck and neck. what's happening now, though, o'donnell is kind of lashing out and said according to harold fine men of the huffingtonpost sean hannity is in her pocket and can help her beat on the established republicans. you talk to those republicans and they say she is out of control. the problem is not she'll lose quietly but she will take down the establishments in the process or at least threatening too. >> very interesting. the other thing we want to talk about quickly, the first lady has been on the campaign trail and is mrs. obama's star power enough to bolster the candidates she's been out trying to support? >> no. if it is, it is just at the margin, this sn an attempt to get democrats out who are lackluster in their support. but a lot of these candidates are in trouble because it's a very bad economy and there's

nothing she can do to make that any better. >> very interesting. with just a couple weeks until election day, john dickerson, as always, appreciate your expertise. >> thanks harry. >> all right. >> erica hill is standing by at the e

>> it is really beginning to kick up here. we'll be back in a little while. if you are traveling throughout new england or throughout the east coast today, check your airlines. there are going to be delays wracking up. back to you in new york.

down lower. >> that is a perfect solution, when it goes down more -- >> i want the discounts and for everyone out there. >> you have our back. thank you. up next how pounding the pavement can affect your brown. it's just one more reason to start walking. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. ♪

not good and it will destroy social security. >> reid also attacked her opposition to insurance mandates according to most polls, the race in nevada is neck and neck. harry reid may be in a tight race but at least doesn't have rich whitney's problem, the green party candidate for governor of illinois. on one screen of the electronic voting screen ballot in chicago, however, his name is misspelled and he's listed as rich whitey. the machines are being reprogrammed to fix that typo. in britain, brass can mean money but also means nerve and this morning hundreds of royal employees say the top brass there has a whole lot of nerve for saying there's no money for their christmas party. cbs news correspondents elizabeth palmer reports. >> reporter: she doesn't look like the grinch but queen elizabeth's decision not to throw her annual christmas bash will be a big disappointment. >> the royal christmas parties for the staff are a sort of very raucous affairs, naturally because this is the one time of

the year that they get their chance to let their hey down. >> reporter: these are hard times in britain. and, as the country struggles with huge debts and a feeble economy, the queen and her court have an image problem. they need to appear royal but not too rich. being seen to cut back strikes the right note. >> i think most people think, yeah, great, stop spending our money. >> reporter: the truth, is maintaining a monarchy is expensive with its castles, its jewels and its pomp. it costs the taxpayers about $60 million a year. so, this year, with government cutbacks, the queen, like many landlords is facing tough decisions. she can't afford a new roof for buckingham palace but she will go ahead with repairs to a leaky ballroom knowing she saved $80,000 by canceling her christmas party. elizabeth palmer, cbs news, london. >> let's check with katie couric for a preview of tonight's "cbs evening news." >> good morning. how a high school dropout and

our lovechild dave price in the settlements, i will do it. when i heard they got sharon -- sara not only a co-host panelists but one of the executive producers when i heard sharon wanted to do it, leah wanted to do it, marissa wanted to do it and holly wanted to do it, i said i'm leaving that harry smith. >> sorry, harry. >> wow. i win, i win on that one. what do you feel like you want to bring to this program? because you've been on television a lot, you've done reality shows and had your own show. what do you want to bring? >> i think it's being the oldest woman in the group here -- >> really? >> -- and i've got adult children -- >> -- sharon by going really? >> moving right along, harry. i think i bring that i, you know, i hope fully successfully brought my children up the right way. and so, i'm looking and talking to julie and sara who have

little newborns so, been there, done that. >> i have teenagers, new teenagers and i'm looking to sharon for help to get -- i'm looking to her for wisdom. i'm looking to everyone on this cast. >> you guys were on "the apprentice together" i'm trying to recall. were you ever at odds. >> of course. it's a conflict-driven show, so we are. we are friends before "the apprenti apprentice" and thousand after now get to have conflict every day harry. >> one other thing sharon brings, she does have wisdom in older kids but she's got this quality where she doesn't really seem to care what people think of her, so she will say the thing that's on everybody's mind but they're afraid to say. >> uh-huh. >> she's bawdy. >> i'm not running for mayor so i don't care if i get votes or not. that's the way it is. >> will this be your dream job. >> oh, yes. i love being with women all the time. um -- [ laughter ] >> you mean specifically this

group? >> this group. >> go ahead. >> no, it's great. it's going to be great and i think what's great about us is that we're all very vocal and we all have found a way, so far, to disagree with each other in a way where we're not, you know, pulling each other's, you know, weaves out and stuff. >> not yet. >> yeah. mine's not in today because i thought holly and i were going to throw down, but i left mine out. >> we've got to be ready. >> always have to be ready. you never know when we'll get into a fistfight but that's me on a daily basis. >> marissa -- >> thanks for jumping on that joke, harry. >> i waited for it longer. >> you didn't wait, harry. i was still talking haarrry. >> she doesn't have her weave in, she will -- >> i will fight you down. >> all right. you're also a little bit different. >> yes. you are ready? you are done with your joke? >> i am done. harry destroyed it. go forward with your story, marissa. >> that's why my job for me i

won't have to worry about stepping on leah's jokes. i'm actually going out, i'm going into the street actually dealing with real moms, real dads. i find that when you talk to -- >> as opposed to the fake moms? >> well, as opposed to -- >> fake tv moms. >> fake tv moms, bringing in a dad, a stay-at-home-dad in a studio space i think would make him really nervous, totally stressed out, so heightened, going to the playground with their children and talking with them about being a stay-at-home-dad, so i'm going out -- >> like the field reporter. >> yes. >> all right. who is going to surprise us the most. >> i think julie will surprise us, because she gets to bring more of herself. i think she's used to being more in news formats or host formats that are more formal and we get to see how really fun she is. >> that's a lot of bresh sure, sara. >> you better be fun! >> funny. be funny. go to leah.

>> so, the question that begs being asked, is it "the view," is it oprah, is it -- >> can i answer that? >> what? >> i think if you were to get a big pot and put in, you know, a pinch of "the view," a pinch of oprah, a good dose of regis and kelly and cast it with us six women, that's what "the talk" s. it's a mix mixture of all your favorite shows on daytime television but everyone's asking us, what is the difference between you guys and "the view." the biggest difference. it boils down to two things, we're not going to be as political as "the view," is it's gotten to be very political and these six women make a difference. >> we're not boring. >> ohhhh.

[ cheering ] tomorrow night "48 hours investigates" a mystery 26 years in the making. bruce lisker was released from prison last year after being locked up at age 17 for his mother's murder. now his freedom is at stake again as prosecutors seek to reopen the case and have him return to prison. "48 hours" correspondents erin moriarty is here with a preview. good morning, erin. >> good morning, maggie. this is not just about bruce lisker, a man convicted of murder now fighting to clear his name. this is also the story of an

unlikely hero, a los angeles police department lieutenant who put everything on the line for get to the truth. >> my name is bruce lisker. i've spent 26 years in state prison for a crime i had nothing to do with. the murder of my mother. >> reporter: but, when jim gavin, then a sergeant with the lapd looked into the evidence that put bruce lisker in prison, the case unravelled before his eyes. >> in the closing arguments of the case, the deputy d.a. said, look at all the footprints in the house, they are the same as bruce lisker's. >> reporter: gavin discovered those footprints had never been analyzed. he ordered tests. the result? the footprints were not bruce lisker's what did you just realize at that moment? >> that maybe we actually convicted the wrong person. >> when gavin's superiors took the case out of his hands, he put his career at risk by publicly revealing what he had

found. >> i want people to know. this could happen to you. this could happen to your loved ones. this should not happen. >> reporter: unfortunately, though, to make things right for li ker, lieutenant gavin had to take on another member of the lapd, and as you can imagine he's paid a major price for that decision and so has his wyche, carol, who is a third generation officer with the police force. i kind of call them like the accidental heroes. they never wanted to take on this case and at one point even lieutenant gavin said to me, you know, i don't even know why i d. i could have stopped and -- >> how did he come to investigate it? >> well, it is so interesting. it was just happen stance. it was luck for lisker. he had run out of appeals and his p.i., a brilliant p.i. said let's file a complaint against the detective, that goes to internal affairs and landed on the desk of lieutenant jim gavin. anybody else might have ignored a case like this. all kind of luck which made it

an amazing story for us. >> if bruce lisker didn't kill his mother, who did? >> this is what is interesting. we think it's mike ryan, a lot of people do. mike ryan was 15 years of age at the time, a friend of bruce lisker who would do odd jobs for the mother and right afterwards, he suddenly had a lot of money, he disappeared from town. and the reason why we don't know for sure because later mike ryan committed suicide. and so, no one knows for sure but a lot of evidence does indicate it's mike ryan. >> what kind of evidence has lieutenant gavin come up with? >> well, i mean, what was so amazing there were footprints, bloody footprints that supposedly tied bruce lisker to the case, helped convict him. they never, ever analyzed them. lieutenant gavin just did something simple like that and turns out they weren't bruce his ker's at all. >> thank goodness there are people like him. >> it was luck, otherwise i think bruce lisker would still be in prison. >> erin, thank you so much. we always look forward to "48 hours" you can see "the whole

>> because they are move so quickly? >> the plair is not thinking they will be hunted in the daytime, but nighttime. this is houf the cheetah hunts their prey. >> beautiful animal. >> isn't that magz sebt? every time i see this creature, i can't believe it. again 70 miles an hour. when you drive on the interstate, think about this thing passing you. >> wow. great news i want to say quickly you have one of the greatest jobs arguably in the world. if people want to be like you they can, you are running a contest, want to be like jack hanna. >> look at my website. get to go six weeks to learn how to be a ranger in south africa, all paid, for air-fare and everything. >> unfortunately i'll be disqualified doing this segment but someone will have a great time. harry, over to you. >> a question most of us will ask at one time or another, what happens when you die? that idea is explored in the 23450u movie "hereafter" stars matt damon directed by the legendary clint eastwood. damon plays a blue-collar worker who also happens to be a

psychic. >> listen. listen. >> i don't want to listen. >> everything i have -- >> i don't -- >> -- i brought. my only child. just a baby. i just want to talk to her. please, i want to talk -- >> i can't help you. i don't do that. i don't do that anymore. please. >> i got money! >> matt damon and the legendary clint eastwood with us this morning. are you tired of that. >> legendary for what? [ laughter ] >> famous, infamous, all of the above. i'm really glad the both of you are here today. first off, have you seen the movie with an audience? an objective audience? >> i haven't seen it with an objective audience but i've seen it with an audience that responded well to it, yes. >> because when i was in the screening, people throughout the movie were sobbing. this is as an emotional subject as you could possibly want to

sort of wrestle with. >> this is an emotional subject. it's something that people have thought about, probably has been engrained in you from the -- from a young childhood, as to what goes hereafter. >> i guess for me, the impact of the movie for me was that it's less about that than it is about loss and what do we do with loss and that ends up being the powerful factor in this movie, people begin to realize who you are. they think you're somehow the bridge to what they've lost. >> right. right. and, yeah, that's one of the things, you know, the movie follows three stories from around the world and one of them, i think, really the heart of the movie this little boy in london, who loses his twin brother and he's, you know, 11 years old and just kind of doesn't accept that and so he just goes on this quest to figure out where his brother is and he's just not going to give

up until he finds his brother and i think that's kind of touching because as adults, we all know lost people suddenly, we know what the answer to his quest is and it's that he's not going to get the answer. one of the things i love about the movie, it doesn't try to tell you -- >> what to say, what to believe. >> -- yeah, exactly but i think it's something that people can all relate to. >> do you feel better like you're better at what you do now than you've ever been? >> i think so. i think there's no reason why you shouldn't be better as you get more information, as life goes on, unless you get to a point where you start losing the information, and then you start changing the file. but, generally, yeah, i feel better about it. i feel i've been doing better stuff in the last decade than i did two decades ago. >> isn't that something? you are not going to do another bourn movie? >> no. i read about it on the internet. i have no idea. >> you don't know?

>> so, i really don't know. >> the other one, you are in "true grit" which is coming out. >> i am. >> out on christmas day? >> christmas day. >> you're playing. >> what would have been the glenn campbell role. >> the glenn campbell original role. >> there's an irony that i almost played that -- or henry has theaway had talked to me about possibly doing that role, many years ago with dukey. >> you could have done the john wayne this time around. that might have worked. >> i don't think you've ever worn an eye patch. have you? >> i don't think you ever have. >> you've avoided the eye patch. no, i haven't worn an "patch. i could do it. i mean, that certainly isn't a big deal. i'll put it over my good eye and then just kind of stumble around and walk in.
