good morning everyone. it's friday august 3, 2012. welcome to studio 57 at the cbs broadcast center. i'm jeff glor. charlie rose is on assignment. a golden day for the u.s. teenage sensation, gabby douglas wins the all-around gymnastics title and michael phelps stakes his claim as greatest athlete of all-time. a controversy erupts over a new video showing workers how to survive a mash shooting. first, as we do every morning, we begin with a look at today's eye-opener. your world in 90 seconds. gabby douglas and her million dollar smile the all-around gold medalist. >> gabby douglas shines as

america's new golden girl. >> it means so much. all the hard work and dedication and effort put in the gyp. if you push through the hard days, you can get through anything. >> michael phelps is going to win gold. overlapping with a silver. >> in the 200 i.m. >> i was getting a little tired at the end. i can't complain with the gold medal. senate majority leader -- >> he hasn't paid any tax. let him prove that he has paid taxes because he hasn't. >> i have an unnamed source in kenya who says that obama was born in kenya. >> if mitt romney paid less than 13% taxes, i don't want him as my president. i want him as my accountant. >> analysts predict the nation's employers added around 100,000 jobs last month. unemployment rate should stay at 8.2%. one person is dead and dozens hurt after a

double-decker mega bus crashed on an illinois highway. someone went monster truck on a police department crushing more than half a dozen cop cruisers with a massive tractor. at chick-fil-a restaurants, today gay rights supporters are calling for a national same sex kiss day. easy tiger. don't ring a bell around me. all that matters. our unbelievable u.s. athletes who are representing us in london including virginia's own gabby douglas. usa. on "cbs this morning." so great to see those little russian girls crying. oh, my god, i was laughing so hard. [ laughter ] captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." it was a golden night at the summer olympics for an american

newcomer and for someone who has been there a few times already. 16-year-old gabby douglas won the all-around title in women's gymnastics, while michael phelps won his first individual gold in these games. >> we've been telling you the medal count all week. for the first time the u.s. is tied with china for the most gold medals. the americans lead 37 to 34 japan in third place, followed by germany. bigad shaban is in london with more. bigad, good morning to you. >> reporter: jeff and gayle good morning to you. that olympic medal count for team usa includes a gold that was won yesterday by a bright-faced girl who changed history at just 16 years old. >> usa, usa! >> president obama cheered on the home team 4,000 miles away from london's olympic park. he took a break from campaigning in leesburg to cheer on gabby douglas, virginia's gymnast.

the 16-year-old helped mark a day of firsts on the map and across team usa. she scored gold for the women's all-around title. heroin changed history. she's the first african-americanpto earn the prize. on the podium, the teen couldn't stop smiling, earning a second gold med nal three days. >> it means so much. you can get through the hard days, you can get through anything. >> michael phelps pushed through in the pool winning gold in the 200-meter individual medley. he's now the first male swimmer to win the same event three consecutive olympics. for the tear i eyed star his fourth medal for the games and 20th for his career. >> nothing changed. i'm the same person loving the race. >> his win was ryan lochte's loss. the florida native took silver and no longer holds the world record. the second place finish was his last event in london. >> it's been a long journey. but for the most part, i mean

i'm happy. i can't complain over getting five olympic medals that i'm bringing back to my countriment at the same time you know what i'm happy that i'm done. i get to actually take a deep breath and just relax now. >> today is his birthday after all. lochte hopes to mark the occasion by not having to get in the pool. >> kayla harrison who scored the first gold medal in judo said she's excited to become a firefighter once she gets back home to massachusetts. >> i have to take my emt certification test. if a job opens up in the town i live in i will get an interview and having the gold medal on my resume is probably going to help me a little bit. >> another member of team usa made her olympic debut yesterday. that's 15-year-old rafalca, a horse co-owned bip mitt romney's wife ann and in a preliminary round of dress anlage, she placed

15th. >> the usa basketball team set an all-time olympic scoring record. the u.s. beat nigeria, 156-73. with us from london is sally jenkins. she saw gabby win gold last night. >> good morning. >> how unexpected was gabby's victory? >> reporter: well, i think insiders in the sport could see her coming on for the last few months. the team all-around you saw what an electric performer she is. i think everyone knew when she qualified and jordan weeber erer didn't. she had a strong chance. >> she's so much fun to watch. hey gabby, you know you're the first black to get an all-around gold. she said i forgot about that. i just feel so honored to be here. do you think it's such an amazing story that five months ago, most of us didn't know her name. >> well she's really devoted

the last two years to going from a mediocre performer to the world's greatest performer. she's incredibly determined. she's all of about 4'9". her personality is as electric as her body is. i just think it's a perfect combination of mind and body in one little gymnast. >> what do you make about aly raisman and the tie-breaker there that didn't go her way? >> well obviously, she was devastated. the two most devastated people on the floor were aly raisman and the russian girl who was defeated by douglas. it's fractions of a point. hanging on to the balance beam by two toes. that's the game. it can be a wounding support sport. >> sally, is michael phelps the greatest olympian ever? >> i think he is. you know, in swimming. i think you'd have to look at people like gym thorpe and jesse owens in the same breath.

i'm not sure if michael phelps exceeded olympians like them but he's certainly joined them. he's in that conversation. it's a very short list of three to five athletes in history. he really is the most remarkable swimmer of all-time. i'm not sure if will ever be equaled. 20 medals 16 gold is breathtaking. >> meanwhile sally, can we talk about kayla harrison for a moment. an extraordinary story there. she's been through so much. she's worried about getting a firefighter interview. i imagine she might not have too many problems right now. >> well i tell you what if i was in a burning building she's the one i want to drag me out after watching what she did. >> what about ryan lochte last night, some were saying the short turn around between the races caused a problem for him. what do you think? >> well it did. he was tired. everyone knew it. including michael phelps. i think the interesting inning is, ryan lochte at this olympics

tried to do a phelpsian type feat. he wanted to win medals. lochte's inability shows how hard it is to do what michael phelps did. walking away with multiple medals. ryan lochte is the second greatest swimmer in american history. in a way, it's a reflection on what michael phelps did and how incredible it is. >> sally x thank you very much. governor mitt romney is back on the campaign trail and on the attack against president obama the republican candidate will be in las vegas later today. on thursdays he was in colorado talking about jobs and the economy. nancy cordes is at the white house with more. jeff good morning to you. mitt romney may have refrained from attacking the president while overseas. now that he's back on u.s. soil he is making up for lost time. both candidates are campaigning in battleground states accusing

the other of crafting plans that would wreck the economy. >> in his first campaign stop since hi overseas trip governor romney issued a failing grade for the obama administration. he called it a presidential accountability scorecard and passed it out to a group of more than a thousand in golden colorado. flunking the president on everything from job creation to home prices and the deficit. >> finally, we have family income. that's gone down. all measures he laid out are measures that have gone in the wrong direction. >> but in winter park florida, president obama said it was romney who needed to retake economics 101. after a nonpartisan tax policy group panned romney's tax plan saying it would drive up the debt by hundreds of billions of dollars and would only benefit the rich. >> they have tried to sell us this trickle-down tax cut fairy dust before. and guess what? it didn't work then.

it will not work now. >> the obama campaign is not letting up on romney's refusal to release more than two years of his personal taxes. they unveiled this new ad in eight battleground states. >> mitt romney made $20 million in 2010. but paid only 14% in taxes. probably less than you. >> and democratic leader harry reid made this explosive accusation about romney right on the senate floor. >> the word is out that he hasn't paid any taxes for ten years. let him prove that he has paid taxes because he hasn't. >> but he didn't provide any evidence for that claim. and romney laughed it off in an interview with conservative host sean hannity. >> it's time for harry to put up or shut up. harry is going to have to describe who it is he spoke with, because, of course that's totally and completely wrong. >> and romney's campaign advisers aren't laughing. they likened reid's charged to a

mccarthy-style witch hunt. both campaigns are nervously awaiting the july employment figures. we've seen several months of lackluster job growth and the obama campaign knows, jeff if that continues, their job is going to get a lot harder. >> nancy cordes, thanks. speaking of of the employment numbers, rebecca jarvis joins us to show us what we're likely to see when the employment numbers come out. good morning to you, rebecca jarvis. >> if the expectations are correct, july is not going to show. of an incompetent prochlt. our economy is adding jobs but not enough to reduce unemployment. analysts pre ticket that the unemployment was unchanged at -- employers added 100,000 new jobs. that is up slightly from june's 80,000. keep in mind here it takes about 150,000 jobs just to keep up with population growth. and to substantially bring down unemployment, we need the kind of job creation or better that we saw at the beginning of this year. back then our economy was

creating an average of 226,000 each month but by the spring as consumers began cutting back and gasoline prices spiked new job creation tapered off to an average of 75,000 jobs a month and unemployment has been stuck above 8% for now 41 consecutive months. there are some bright spots out there. automakers, they usually close plants for the month of july. but this july they left factories open to meet higher demand and according to a new report, planned firing fell 45% from last year. while the financial sector is cutting more jobs the computer industry is adding them. both wall street and washington have a keen interest in what happens in in report. traders tell me that the results will play heavily into what our federal reserve does between now and the fall to try and stimulate the economy. jeff? >> rebecca, thank you very much. since february former u.n. secretary general kofi annan has tried to bring peace to war torn

syria. on thursday he called it quits. blaming syria's government the rebels and the international community for failing to stop the fighting. >> without syria's purposeful and united international pressure including from the palace of the region it is impossible for me or anyone to compel the syrian government in the first place and also the position to take the steps necessary to begin a political process. >> margaret brennan is in washington this morning. margaret, where does the u.s. go from here? >> well, jeff, there's a growing fear that this rebellion's is evolving into a sectarian conflict that create a balkan like -- the u.s. supports the peace plan kofi annan crafted and admits is not working. the state department this week sent the u.s. ambassador to syria to the region to help unify the syrian opposition to one day govern once assad is

gone. at point, military action to bring about that end is unlikely. the u.s. has looked at what it would take to neutralize syrian air defenses and have concluded it would take a major commitment of force over some period of time. instead, the u.s. is treating the symptoms of the conflict providing 75 million humanitarian aid. >> margaret brennan, i got itment thank you. for years the u.s. called on pakistan to crackdown on terrorists who use bases in that country to launch attacks. this morning we have a rare look at how the safe-havens are being used. david martin obtained video of a terror group striking a u.s. base just two months ago in afghanistan. >> if you ever wondered what goes on in those safe-havens in pakistan pakistan look at this. terrorists built a scale model of an american base just across the border in afghanistan and used it along with a satellite photo taken off the internet to plan a spectacular attack.

they may look like rambo wannabes, but this was a well-planned operation. down to the american and afghan army uniforms they wore. the attack was led by this man, the driver of a truck loaded with an estimated 2,000 pounds of homemade explosives. his bomb was covered only by a tarp that he apparently had no difficulty driving across the border and right up to forward operating base salerno. the driver detonated the bomb setting off a fireball followed by a blast wave which rippled across the base all recorded for maximum propaganda value. next a van with a suicide squad pulled up. they were going to go through a hole in the wall. but the attack stalled because a u.s. official said the bomb failed to breach a second barrier. the video doesn't show it but all ten were gunned down. photos of the aftermath show the

base mess hall collapsed by the blast wave. two americans were killed and 25 wounded seriously enough to require evacuation. it was far from the deadliest attack on american forces but the size of that fireball and the resulting blast wave are dramatic proof of the threat posed by the safe-havens in pakistan. >> the attack was the work of a group called the haqqani network. it has safe-havens in pakistan and is supported by pakistani intelligence. david martin cbs news the pentagon. federal transportation officials investigating a deadly mega bus crash in illinois. the double-decker bus heading from chicago to kansas city skidded into a bridge support yesterday about 55 miles from st. louis. it threw many passengers out of their seats. one woman was killed more than three dozen hurt. there are reports that the bus blew a tire. forecasters say that

tropical storm ernesto could become a hurricane and make its way into the gulf of mexico by next week. the storm warnings are up this morning for islands in the eastern caribbean. david bernard is the chief meteorologist of our miami station. that would be cbs 4. he's with us now. david, where is the storm and how dangerous could ernesto become? >> gayle this morning it's moving through the windward eye lachbltds it's a little weaker than last night. currently the winds are around 45 miles per hour. but it's moving very quickly to the west at 24. i just received a report that st. lucia had a wind gust to 63 miles per hour. now, i don't think ernesto gets a lot stronger tomorrow or maybe even sunday but by monday early monday morning, it could be a category 1 hurricane once it reaches the more favorable waters of the western caribbean. jamaica jamaica, the cayman islands. all of these areas have to be on the lookout for a possible strengthening storm in the coming days.

and beyond that as we go into tuesday and wednesday that's when we'll have to look at the possibility that if ernesto remains with the intensity and turns to the north and west it could reach the gulf of mexico by the middle of the week. right now, it's too early to say what if any impact we'll have on the united states coastline. it's going through unfavorable conditions now. as the forecast was showing us late in the week and early next week warmer water, more favorable atmospheric conditions could lead to a

six-minute you-tube video called run, hide fight has gotten a quarter of a million hits. it shows you exactly what to do when someone starts shooting in a public place. manuel bojorquez takes a look at the controversy. >> it may feel like another day at the office. >> this is not your everyday workplace safety video. the lessons revealed by houston's homeland security office are unlike anything you've ever seen before. >> but sometimes bad people do bad things. and unfortunately, you need to be prepared for the worst. houston mayor annise parker produced the video with a $200,000 federal grant. >> these incidents are fortunately, very, very rare. but they're not impossible. >> the massacre in aurora made one thing clear, victims caught in the crossfire usually have no

idea how to protect themselves. >> everybody was just panicked at that point. >> lot of screaming. >> lot of people trying to get out. >> the safety officers a simple phrase designed to save lives. >> there are three things to do that make a difference. run, hide fight. >> first, you have to know what happens when an atomic bomb explodes. >> it's similar to other safety phrases you might remember. like in the event of a nuclear attack. >> duck and cover. >> or if you find yourself in a fire. >> stop, drop and roll. >> in a crisis situation, you want something that you don't have to stop and analyze it. i know what to do. >> there are three key things to remember to survive. run, hide fight. >> the first instinct is to hide. and as we clearly say in the video, the first thing you need to do is get the heck out of there. >> if you can't find a safe room

or closet try to conceal yourself behind large objects that may protect you. >> mayor parker says the video was completed before the aurora shootings. but the massacre convinced her office to release it earlier than planned. the public response has been enormous with close to 250,000 you-tube views. >> encourage others to leave with you. but don't let them slow you down >> at houston's city hall they're getting requests for the video from cities and businesses coast to coast. >> it definitely gives them some good ideas on how to prepare themselves and their employees and their customers on how to respond in a dire situation like this. >> the video's final recommendation is its most controversial. >> fight. >> to fight back. >> act with aggression improvise weapons. disarm him and commit to taking the shooter down. no matter what. >> if all else fails, you're going to have to make a decision to fight or attack your attacker

for self-preservation. >> know that in an incident like this victims are generally chosen randomly. >> watching the video, it makes me sick to my stomach that those situations could happen but at the same time, it's part of what we as citizens need to do to protect yourselves. >> mass shootings are rare but houston's mayor says if the video saves just one life it will be worth it. for "cbs this morning," manuel bojorquez, dallas. >> i think -- i think the video is hard to watch, jeff. i think, unfortunately, it's timely and needed at this time. i got the run and the hide part down. the fight part is not me. not me. >> maybe they say that's what you do if you can't get out. there's good information in there. the officer seemed to agree with it. i think one of the questions is when local and state governments are in such dire financial straits right now, $200,000 on that video is certainly a lot of

money. >> people will watch. the key part don't let someone else's indecision slow you down. >> that's right. >> that means i'm leaving without you if you don't come immediately. >> take off. get out of here. >> they call gabby douglas the flying squirrel. hopefully none of us have to go through that. they call her the flying squirrel. we call her olympic champion. thank you very much. we take you inside her amazing story up next on "cbs this morning."

seven, dawes knows all too well the challenges that come with olympic fame. >> gabby will have similar experiences as i did, she will not be able to go anywhere without being recognized and people are amazing. they're going to be thanking her profusely for the i am fact that she's made and i pray that she uses it wisely. >> dawes says douglas can expect endorsement deals to begin pouring in. >> she'll start quickly recognizing that she's a business, a brand and she should be selective in the people she surrounds herself with and the opportunities she decides to take. >> media consultant joe favorito says douglas is a marketer's dream who could easily rake in millions. >> she brings so many intangibles that marketers look for. she's young, she's fresh, she's a new face. >> following her victory, douglas tweeted wow, such an amazing experience. thank you all for your support, love and prayers. love you all. >> america is looking for heroes. we went into this looking for michael phelps and ryan lochte

company for 28 years. >> 25% down. >> or ask his staff. >> we were expecting to make the buses full. but nothing happened. >> or ask the man who took on extra help and brought in extra stock at his restaurant in anticipation of the rush that never happened. >> i think it's wrong to give the message avoid london because it's going to be panic and the world is going to be mad. that's the message. come and enjoy the olympics. >> not only have the regular tourists apparently stayed away. londoners are staying home as well away from the restaurants, shows and bars or they've left town. the surprising thing is this shouldn't be a surprise. it happens almost all the time. for cities trying to make a name for themselves the olympics can be a draw at least for the future. but for established world cities like london there always seems to be a drop-off. people scared off by security

fears or by jacked up hotel prices many of which were later reduced. cities like paris and new york both of which lost out to london for these games still seem intoxicated by the process of holding them despite the evidence. >> there's a myth about the olympics that having them is going to solve all the problems of the city. they have added to problems of the cities, not solve them. i think what's happened is that there are so many warnings about security, so many warnings about delays in traffic that a lot of people just avoided this. new york city is booming right now. our hotels record occupancy. we're winning the olympics of visitors. but london has the games. >> britain's prime minister is trying to solve the current problem, making his own desperate plea. >> come back into the capital, come and shop and eat in london's restaurants. make sure that all of london's economy benefits. >> britain's government and

olympic officials are saying take the longview. the image created by these games will pay off in the end. the businesses say that's well and good but who is going to pay our bills now? >> good point. thank you, mark phillips. peter greenberg joins us now at the table. it's tough to me to look at the empty seats and i remember about a month ago when you were here you sort of predicted that this could happen. >> it wasn't a difficult prediction to make when you consider this happens every four years. hope, anticipation frenzy and greed. they overbill they overcharge gouge and scare people away. 300,000 people who would normally be in london didn't show up. that's the regular tourist crowd. you can realize what we're talking about here. >> this happens every time. everyone stays away and they're like why is no one here. happens at political conventions as well. if you're a city planner and bidding potential already for one of these, what's your recommendation? >> take a look at the budgets for the past couple of olympics.

when you look at these numbers, you're looking at budgets that got out of control. in montreal, it took 30 years to pay off the debt that they incurred in 1976 for the olympics. in japan their budget was so bad they destroyed their records afterwards they were embarrassed. $2.4 billion in atlanta. reasonable. $6.8 billion in sydney. in athens that $15 billion figure tripled the orange al $5 billion one. let's not ignore pay shing. they had an unlimited budget. they exceeded it. they didn't care. >> look at the last two places where summer olympics were held. we know what kind of shape athens and greece is in. beijing in rather serious slowdown. >> here's what happens. you overbill they built 16,000 rooms in sydney for an event that lasts 3 1/2 weeks. it's a buyer's market later on.

hotels are slashing between 30 and 60%. cab drivers are losing 40% of what they had last year. it is a buyer's market. so for smart travelers either going now or waiting until august 15th it gets better. after everybody leaves that doesn't mean somebody steps in and fills that void. it becomes a buyer's market. >> are there any residual benefits after the olympics go? >> if you look beyond civic pride and image, infrastructure. infrastructure usually wins because you get new roads, in new buildings, new services. there are things there that doesn't necessarily show up on a profit and loss statement. bottom line is cities do benefit in the long run from infrastructure, not from bottom line investment. >> you do realize, peter, despite the stories it won't keep away from rio. >> i've never been. it really is on my bucket list to go. >> believe it or not, brazil is looking to do this to fix the city. look, it's an excuse to get the place ramped up. it's extreme home makeover is

what it is. >> you think that's a bad idea saying this is going to fix the city. >> it's not a bad idea to fix the city. it's a bad idea thinking you're going to make a lot of money from it. >> is there a potential for positive influence for future tourists thinking approximate it. say, brazil? >> yes. you go before the olympics or after. if you go to london right now, august 15th two days after the olympics is over. you own the city. you not only own london. scotland and ireland. that's the time to go. >> any plans? >> take a late vacation. >> see what happens. >> airfare as well. you can get there. >> that's when you do it. interesting in 2014 when the olympics are. maybe after, before. another field trip gayle. >> peter, you predicted it. i thought you had to be off because everybody want to go. when i saw the empty seats at some of the main events i could not believe it. >> visa is reporting right now that last week alone the visitors to the olympics spent

$700 million on their visa cards just to go there. that's really good news right? >> put it in the overall picture, it's not enough. >> peter greenberg, thank you very much. david alan grier, he wasn't at the olympics either. why? because he's packing in the crowds on broadway. thank you very much. he'll be with us this morning to talk about the tony-winning porgy and bess. we'll be right back. you're watching "cbs this morning." this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by purina. your pet. our passion. ♪ watch out, wishful thinking ♪ ♪ ooh la la read between the lines ♪
