we're drumming up some great video under the radar early this saturday morning april 17th, video under the radar early this saturday morning april 17th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs and, no, we will not be demonstrating those moves. well cok welcome to "the early show." >> this is the story everyone is talking about. things have gone from bad to worse for thousands of travelers as the cloud of volcanic ash is widening. >> more grounded flights costing airlines an estimated $200 million a day. there's new information this morning. mark phillips is at heathrow airport with the latest. >> reporter: good morning.
8:02 am
well, there had been shasome hoa window of opportunity might open overnight, that the cloud might be blown aside at least partially by winds and that some of the stranded flights and several thousand of the stranded passengers might be able to move on. the winds did shift, but in the wrong direction and that window slammed shut. the closure of air space now has been extended to beyond midnight here and the prospects beyond that are not good. this is the source of the ash and the source of the problem. and as the cloud of volcano grit continues to bill low out of this volcano, it's getting worse. the cloud has been hovering over the north atlantic and northern europe for three days and the latest predictions continue to show it isn't going anywhere. northern europe is a no fly zone. the shutdown now exceeds that which followed 9/11. one prediction is that with follow-on effects, 6 million
8:03 am
passengeri ins could be affecte. the environmental agency sent a plane up to take examples of the ash and found plenty. >> there's no real significant change in where the danger area or the ash cloud is. it's still sprending out over the whole northern and central europe. >> reporter: 20 countries have now closed all or part of their air space. and not just the little people are being affect the. world leaders who were expected to fly to poland for the funeral of president kaczynski tomorrow and that includes president obama, those rips are now in doubt unless the air space can reopen. and that volcano seismologists in iceland looking at it day say that eruptions are increasing and the situation seems still to have days and days to run. >> mark phillips, thank you.
8:04 am
joining us now is a doctor from the science channel. we have aprons on because we'll demonstrate in studio exactly what is happening overseas. good to see you. >> glad to be on. >> so everyone's trying to put some sort of time frame right now on how long it will be in the air. any ideas? >> yes. the last big reyuperuption was 1821 and it lasted for 13 months. so we could see something similar here, but in is a perfect storm. the jet stream was at the right angle, glaciers at the right position. this was a perfect storm. >> and we can create part of that perfect storm. a fascinating example here of what was so different about this particular volcanic eruption. we're not asking people to recreate it at home, but we can to it in our studio. explain what we have. >> there were two eruptions. the first was normal. the second went through a glacier represented here which then punched a hole and glassif
8:05 am
ied -- this is baking soda, this is vinegar, and carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide is what comes out of a volcano. this is the normal eruption that we saw. >> and this happened, as well, but there were two eruptions. >> two. and the second one was the one that caused all the half okay. havoc. >> the darker powder is this. >> that represents tsilica insie the ash. >> i can pick that up and show people what that looks like. it's a much darker -- but the lica is in there because of what? >> that's when the magna hits the ice shown here, which
8:06 am
buildinged bottled up the pressure and when it blew the top, it got lassif ied the molten silica. >> and so what happens with this vin ga? >> now i'll put the pressure on. and let it go. you saw it go up like that, right? >> yeah. >> and you see that because of the pressure that built up here, this representing the glacier, it meant that like a pressure cooker bottled up all the energy and takes blalgtsed through the glacier, it glassy filed and that's what caused all the problems. >> and it's not just the blast, but what's in there, the darker substance. >> if it gets in to a jet engine, it gums up the works, grinds the gears and also metals, and then resolidifies. and the whosilica.
8:07 am
>> and this would say in the atmosphere long smer. >> it does eventually come down, however, it causes health problems because it eventually gets in to the lungs and remember, this is not ordinary dust. this is what sandblasting is all about. airplanes going into this thing see their windshields turn into fog because they're sandblasted by all these silica particles. >> doctor, appreciate your time this morning. fascinating stuff. the dow dropped 125 points friday after news of fraud charges against goldman sachs. the securities and exchange commission says the wall street giant made huge profits by selling mortgage investments that they knew would fail. >> reporter: the one bank that emerged relatively unscathed from the housing crisis was charged with civil fraud bring by the sec. >> today the sec charged goldman sachs and one of its employees with fraud in connection with the sale of a synthetic
8:08 am
collateralized debt obligation. >> reporter: within hour, goldman sachs stock plunged 13%. the biggest one day drop in company history. the government allegedoldman misled investors on a particular portfolio of subprime mortgage securities. investors were led to believe the portfolio was selected by an objective third party when, in fact, it was influenced by paulson and company, a giant hedge fund betting the same portfolio would fail. >> what the government is objecting to is you can't tell one group of investors this is something you ought to buy and then tell another group this is something you really ought to sell. >> reporter: goldman took $15 million in fees for arranging the transaction while its investors lost over a billion dollars that became profit at paulson and company. goldman immediately denied the allegations and vowed to defend its 140 year reputation. >> and joining me now to discuss
8:09 am
it is a global editor-at-large at reuters. good morning. great to have you here. and obviously this is a complex story, but on main street, it speaks to the whole question of is wall street rigged. >> absolutely. i think we have to be clear about a couple of things here. first of all, this is just an allegation and goldman was very forcefully saying this isn't true and we'll fight this. so we have to be clear being charged doesn't mean being guilty. the second thing is really what is central to this is the misrepresentation. what the sec is alleging is goldman didn't tell the full story to its eninvestors that goldman allowed john paulson to select what was going to be in these cdos and paulson actually is not accused of doing anything wrong. he says i didn't misrepresent this, i didn't sell this to anybody. >> he's within the letter of the law. >> but goldman didn't tell the people who were on the other side of the trade putting it
8:10 am
together. and it's pretty easy to understand why if that happened that's something that the sec should be involved in. >> unethical if not fraudulent. let's talk about goldman sachsnd the fact of the matter is this is a firm that sends their top brass frequently back to washington. it's a graduation so to speak. what is the significant here that goldman sachs is the firm implicated by the sec? >> that's a great question and the significance is huge. goldman has a reputation of being and really has been the smartest, the richest, but also they like to think of themselves as the most virtue us as the guys who aren't just someone once said i don't want to be just another rich guy in new york.who aren't just someone on said i don't want to be just another rich guy in new york. they want to be part of civil service, doing good, giving back. so for gold man to be at the center of this and really to be the first big firm that the se krechlt is star gettic is targeting that's a big deal. >> rubin came from goldman
8:11 am
sachs, a number of players in government have -- >> the head of the new york fed is former goldman sachs. >> is there any chance that paulson, for example, hank paulson, the former treasury secretary, knew that this was taking place? >> the s echec has been very targeted, they named one very specific goldman trader who was involved in that. >> 31-year-old guy working in london, yes? >> who was involved in instructing these products. so again i think we have to be very careful about speculating on how high in goldman this might go. but the fact that goldman is being accused of this, it's a really big deal and i think it also will have a great impact on the financial reform debate. we have seen a real tough thing of the position there and actually they're talking now about saying firms should be banned from trading credit derivatives if they want to have
8:12 am
government backing. that would be huge. that would be revolutionary. >> and what do you think is the likelihood of that taking place, that financial firms will be much harshly regulated in the future? >> well, i think now that there has been a lot of momentum behind the financial reform bill and i think that that momentumo the charges will give the democrats who wanted a tougher bill a lot more energy. >> thanks so much. i wish we had more time to discuss, but that's it for now. now over to betty nguyen for more headlines. a police officer in chicago is facing felony charges this morning after his own dash cam caught him beating unarmed motorist ronald bell with his baton. cbs news correspondent cynthia bowers reports. >> reporter: perhaps the most startling thing about this brutal beating is the apparent overkill. the video shows the 28-year-old suspect is already down when the
8:13 am
police officer begins attacking him with his metal baton. striking bell a total of 15 times after tasering bell's passenger. the man's crime? screeching tires. and then h allegedly resisting arrest and threatening an officer. but the pictures from the officer's own dashboard camera tell a different story. leading his superior to suspend him and call in the state's attorney. >> this conduct displayed on the video by this officer is not only disturbing, it's outrageous and unacceptable. >> reporter: theeteran officer faces charges of felony aggravated battery and official misconduct. during an initial course appearance, he refused comment. his attorney argues his record speaks for itself. >> he's a decorated officer, he's officer of the year three or four years ago. >> reporter: bell continues to recover from concussion and severe cuts. his brother says there is no excuse. >> i can honestly say this officer's actions were very atrocious.
8:14 am
i lost a lot of respect for the police that night. >> reporter: and he may have a point. because in the words of the prosecutors, the pictures don't lie. cynthia bowers, cbs news, chicago. >> and we have more in our next hour on this story. a plea deal for a registered sex offender suspected of raining and killing who teenaged girls in the san diego area, john albert gardner pleaded guilty to both murders on friday in a deal that allows him to escape the death penalty. he admitted to killing chelsea king who disappeared from a san diego park in february, and amber vanished walk to go school. he's expected to serve life in prison. toyota is recalling another vehicle, this time it is the sienna minivan because of rusty spare tire holders. the latest recall covers 600,000 siennas with two wheel drive from model years 1998 to 2010.
8:15 am
toyota says rust from road salt can cause the cable that holds the spare tire to break, allowing the tire to fall off. it's about 14 after the hour. here is lonnie quinn this morning with a first check of the weather. good morning, lonnie. >> now, betty, if memory serves me correctly, you're a texan girl. >> that's right. >> the reason i'm talking about texas that's write shere i see toughest weather. this low pressure system is perfectly positioned to pull in all kinds of gulf moisture. so we're talking a lot of rain there. and we're talking about maybe two to four inches and flash flood watches in effect. now, elsewhere, we have a low pressure system for the northeast. what does that mean for you? scattered showers kind of off again, on again. not as pretty as last weekend. but also the whole weekend is not a washout and look at this, colorado, snow? springtime skiing, a foot, maybe even a foot of the good stuff. that's a quick look at the national picture. here's a closer look at the weather for your weekend. mm
8:16 am
wherever you are, you make it a great day. and i talked with the chance for a foot, maybe a foot and a half of snow for the skiers. you got to go way up for that like 8,000 feet. but helicopter skiing is still the best stuff. >> let's do this. >> two years ago my 12-year-old converted me to snowboarding about. >> are you cool enough to invest in the markets? >> i don't know with that. >> you have to be very even tempered to do it, but the market has been up 70% since the bottom. we'll tell you whether or not it's time to jump in now. >> that's up next. also, a mind-body connection. you're watching "the early show" right here on cbs.
8:18 am

8:19 am
high, so is it time to jump back into the market? here to show us some possible safe havens, correspondent for cbs "moneywatch." and it's great it have you here. >> thanks for having me. >> when you look at the market right now and you look at it in light of the fact that on friday, we were all praising the fact that the dow was about 11,000 and then all of a sudden on friday it drops 125 points. what do you need to know as an investor in this market? >> that you have to have a stomach for risk and if you don't have any debt and you have money to play with, there are still opportunities to be had in this marketplace. historically in the long term when you're diversified, the stock market is the place for a rate of return. if you look at the historic al trends, the new, and the fact that corporate earnings are on the up and up, projections are high for 2010, there are good
8:20 am
cases for people who want to make money in the stock market. >> but timing is important. you want to be in it for the long haul. what are some of the areas, the hot sectors that you're looking at? >> clean technology, infrastructure and health care. so let's start with clean technology. big companies that are creating the products and the supplies tied to renewable energy like solar, wind, getting a lot of federal dollars, a lot of job growth. so a of momentum in that structure. big multinationalses that are not just contracting for projects in the u.s., but also in big booming markets like china and india. and health care, of course in light of the reform, there will be winners and losers, but pharmaceutical companies and medical device companies are going to be poised for growth because here's why. 32 million americans who didn't have insurance will get insurance. and so that's going to mean more
8:21 am
prescription drugs and demand for medical devices. >> unemployment 9.7% overall. there are markets that are facing even tougher numbers. and then you look at the stock market and you say, my goodness, it's come up 70% while the economy has shown a lot of declines over the last year. why the disconnect between the stock market and the economy and what should you think about as an investor in recognition of that fact? >> understand like we said initially off the bat you have to have a long term view. guess what? the folks who stayed with the market last year who are spooked wanting to flee the market, they saw their investments grow 40% or 50%. they recouped a lot of theirs los because they stayed the course. you have to have patience. if you want a safer way to invest, look at blue chip stocks that offer dividends. that way if the stock falls, you're at least getting the dividend and invest in your 401(k) or i.r.a. so you at least
8:22 am
get the tax benefit. >> in light of the goldman sachs news, these allegations of fraud, does an investor immediate to take a step back and think about the fact that financial regulation could be in the offing and that more things could come to pass that we're not necessarily prepared fo we may even hear that more companies have done what the se krechlt al c alleges goldman did. >> to some extent those who want to be aggressive are the ones who will say i'm just into to g go with this with a long term view. in banking there is a lot of question marks. you want to perhaps maximize your savings. look at cds, look at tips, treasury inflation protective securities. inflation although not yet, we're talking about take in the
8:23 am
next 12 to 18 months. so like bonds is an added protection there perhaps. >> thank you so much. lots of great ideas to work with. and more on our website, as well. still ahead, high-tech cat nip. meet a tabby who can't keep his pauses off the ipad as we go "under the radar." mary! hey! wow, you look great! thanks! it's this new wish yourself thin program. i just wish it and it happens. it's probably those fiber one bars you're eating.

you're about to meet an amazing little boy. malcolm has been living with a rare heart condition known as sudden death syndrome since birth. when he heard he needed open heart surgery, instead of worrying about himself, all he cared about was helping his mom and dad pay the medical bills. so malcolm came up with a dlefr way to raise money. here's his inspiring story. >> reporter: playing with his younger sister, malcolm looks like a happy, healthy 9-year-old. but that wasn't awe always the case. that's because malcolm was born with a rare heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, also known by its frightening nickname, sudden death syndrome. >> the doctor said it could die anytime. it's thickening of the muscle of the heart and it doesn't leave enough room for the blood to get through. >> reporter: then early last month, doctors told his parents that malcolm would have to
8:38 am
undergo open heart surgery to correct the problem and save his life. but instead of being scared about the risky surgery, this exceptional third grader's thoughts were on the family's finances. and the out of pocket costs it would take to perform the operation in atlanta over 300 miles away. >> here's this 9-year-old kid who will have open heart surgery and he's more concerned about helping his family than he's going to have surgery. >> reporter: on malcolm came up with an idea to raise the money himself. having watched his mom run and online business, malcolm persuaded her to put a short story he had written for sale on ebay selling signed limited edition copies of his manuscript for $10 a piece, eventually malcolm raised over $12,000. >> we got e-mails enkurnging malcolm and thanking him for being so inspirational to them.
8:39 am
>> reporter: those close to the family say they aren't surprised by his courageous spirit. >> he's like a natural problem solver. and that just fits right in line. >> reporter: and the surgery, it was just as successful as the online sale bringing many more smiles to the family and their very special son. >> and malcolm and his mom, jennifer, join us from their home for an exclusive interview. jennifer and malcolm, welcome to you this morning. >> good morning. >> hello. >> it's great to have both of you with us. jennifer, let's start with you. how proud are you of your son in this is such an inspiring story. >> well, of course i'm very proud of him. we all as parents try to raise our kids to learn to treat others preciously and to put others before themselves. and for him to be -- to do this in such a serious situation, it was really impressive and i was very proud of him for being so
8:40 am
unselfish. >> and so moving for all of us to watch. malcolm, how was it for you going nthrough this whole experience? >> how was it for you going through this whole experience? >> a little scary maybe? what do you think about this idea, how did you come up with it? >> i had wanted to sell things on ebay before, but my parents didn't allow me. so i just thought that selling stories would be able to help pay for my medical bills. >> and it absolutely did. jennifer, you allowed him to go on ebay to do this. what has this garnered at this point, how successful have sales been of malcolm's story?
8:41 am
>> well, we actually sold all the stories that we had out there and there were 1293 sold. and we actually had an earlier listing that got closed that had 47, as well. so it's been pretty successful. >> absolutely. and you can tell us what the stories have been about? >> well, he told me i couldn't spill the beans about the story because it has a surprise ending. so i can't really tell you what it's about, but of course i'm biased, but it's a good story. >> thank you so much for being with us this morning. now we'll head over to jeff. coming up here, great guy. deepak so chopra. did you know the secret to fighting cancer is all in your head? you are watching "the early show" on cbs. stick around. now has

evolutionary, the actual stuff, recycles every six weeks. so it's a process and it's a process that you can influence. >> one example that you talk about that i find fascinating is the story of felipe, the man who walked between the world trade towers in the '70s. and there was a fascinating documentary called man on wire. you say that this feat is physically impossible, right? why is that? >> well, look at him. he's crossesing a cable that's 140 feet long between the twin towers which are swaying and there's a blustery wind and he manages to balance himself quite effortlessly through focus attention and intention. just his awareness is the key to harnessing 100 trillion cells all focused that one act. >> he's completely aware of his body and mind, as well. >> he has perfect what you can call mind/body coordination. >> let's talk about cholesterol, for example, other things we try
8:47 am

8:48 am
by how you perceive aging, how you think, how you feel, how you behave, how you speak. it's a complex thing. but -- >> how do you make these fixes, though? >> be easy, be joyful, let go. feel connectivity instead of separation. your body is a field of energy. and when you feel lightness of being because you're not totally attached to any outcome, although you have intention, then you go with the flow. >> and a pair of fantastic glasses doesn't hurt either. deepak chopra, always a pleasure to see you. >> thank you very much. for more tips on harness e. nesting the brain's power, you can go to webmd.com and search the mind/body connection. coming up here, a taste of tomorrow night's academy of country music awards. jack ingram gets barefoot and crazy. ♪ anyone who grows things for a living will tell ya...

9:01 am
good morning. i'm rebecca jarvis in for erica hill who is on maternity leave. sfla. >> and i'm jeff glor in for chris wragge. and the i spy debate. should you spy on your spouse if you suspect something in a fair yus. >> and three a lot of gadgets to do it. we also hear there kitchen bagadgets out there. >> on an unrelated note. >> and katie lee will be along with us to show them, but first let's check the headlines. cbs news correspondent and morning news anchor betty nguyen is at the news desk. good morning. air travel in and out of europe remains gridlocked this morning. the ash plume from a volcano in iceland has expanded, disrupting
9:02 am
even more flights. mark phillips is at london's heathrow airport with the latest for us. the first thing i want to know is exactly how many flights are grounded because of this? because we are hear something are in the thousands. >> reporter: well, they are in the thousands. the latest figures from the agency which monitors air traffic all over europe says that this should have been on a normal saturday 22,000 flights. they're saying 6,000 will fly, but that's misleading because those flights are in the south or east and away from where this cloud is hanging over our heads here. here in briin brits continue br they have announced the skies are closed until after midnight. beyond that, the activity is in fact increasing and the cloud is still coming and the time it takes to get the ash here means that there will be disruption here literally for days to come. the numbers of passengers
9:03 am
involved, it's anybody's guess. it depends how far out you want to estimate this thing. tens of thousand on the ground here and all over western europe. but one agency in asia says that at as many as 6 million people could be affected, potential passengers on the ripple effect of flights that stem out from here. >> hopefully they packed some patience with them. how long do you expect this to last? because as you mentioned, the volcano is still erupting. >> reporter: there's a lag. there are two issues. one is how long the volcano itself continues to spew this ash and the other is how much ice is sitting on top of this volcano because it's that which is kind of stifling the volcano and causing explosion of ash into the high atmosphere. that gets up into the jet stream. that toos time to get here. it's a beautiful day here it seems and there is a temperature or wind kind of lull in this
9:04 am
area. the cloud is shifting this way and that wary, but not really dissipate to go an affect. there had been a hope where there would an window where some people could move early this morning. that was canceled in the end and now as i say the earliest prospect is tomorrow morning and nobody is particularly hopeful about that. >> mark phillip, thank you so much for that update. on friday, the sec filed fraud charges against goldman sachs and congress and the white house are taking aim at the entire financial industry. they're trying to get a bill on the floor h this coming week that will crack down on abuses by big banks and financial firms. joel brown is live in our washington bureau. good morning, joel. >> reporter: good morning. with health care having exposed the partisan political divide, democrats and the president are risking another one. this time over financial reform.
9:05 am
the memory of the billions in taxpayer money that bailed out the banks is still fresh. >> americans are really frustrated and fed up and they feel like wall street for the the sweet end of this deal. >> reporter: the democrat senate bill would create a new independent agency protecting consumers from abusive credit card practices and faulty mortgages, make it harder for financial institutions to get pail squo bailout money and give shareholder assay in executive pay and compensation. >> this is reform that will force banks and financial institutions to pay for bad decisions that they make. >> reporter: but republicans say they've got their own ideas on overhauling wall street and democrats are ignoring them. all 41 gop senators have signed a letter opposing the bill in its current form arguing it gives endless taxpayer bailouts of wall street and establishes new and unlimited regulator powers that will stifle small businesses and community banks. the president, aware of the potential fight, is drawing an early line in the sand.
9:06 am
he pledged to veto any legislation that didn't include a crackdown on risky trading in the derivatives market, the kind of trading that got goldman sachs in trouble. >> bipartisanship cannot mean simply allowing lobbyist loopholes that put american taxpayers at risk. that would not be real reform. >> reporter: but unlike the health care battle fighting wall street, excesseses might be a tougher road for republicans to take. betty? >> all right, joel brown, thank you so much. john albert gardner, a convicted sex offender, will be sentenced in june for the rape and murder of two san diego area girls. gardner's admission to the killing came as a surprise. >> do you solemnly swear that the testimony you're about to give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? >> do >> i do. >> reporter: what was supposed to a be a status hearing quickl

9:09 am
sounds of yelling in my driveway and i had my window open. i rolled out of high bed, looked out my window and saw my brother with his hands in the air asking what was going on. so i immediately got dressed, went done stairs to my door, looked out my window. and i saw an officer pointing a taser down it at the ground. looked out my other window and i saw my friend down on the ground and i proceeded to even up my door. >> we see you walking outside in the video. and what are you saying to the officer at this point, are you trying to understand what's happening? >> at first i saw the officer striking my brother and it was very shocking to me and i went outside and i was pleading with him to stop beating my brother. i was saying he's complying with your demands, i don't understand why you're beating hill. >> sheila, what were you do somethiing? you called 911? >> yes, i got scared, i didn't
9:10 am
know what to do. i called 911. it didn't seem like he was letting up and i didn't know if it was going to heighten to a worse situation. i was scared for stacey going out there that he might next be involved in the situation. so i just called 911 and asked them to send some help. >> how is your brother doing, what kind of injuries does he have? >> he had a concussion. he had a lot of bruising. and he's recovering. and he's going to work steadily. he doesn't want to make any statements to jep ard diz the case. >> the police department issued a statement and said the officer has been placed on paid administrate testify leave pending disciplinary action. nothing is more important than maintaining the trust and confidence of our residents that they've placed in us bhap is yo. what is your reaction to that statement? >> to be honest, i'm not happy with the fact this guy is on administrative leave. i don't think he should be getting paid by the residents after the actions we witnessed. >> sheila? >> i'd have to agree with him. if this was a regular civilian,
9:11 am
they would immediately lose a position and their income. so i don't see how he should be able to still be paid for something after he's done something like this. >> stacey bell and sheila bell joining us this morning from chicago. thank you for your time. do i hope your brother is doing well soon. please wish him our best. >> thank you. it is now about 11 past the hour. time for another check of the weather with mr. lonnie quinn. >> good morning to you, sir. good morning, everybody. lots of nice smiling faces out here. just quickly, we have to get a birthday wish out. where is he right now? >> london. >> he's stuck this, right? >> yeah, he's stuck because of the volcano. >> well, we wish your pappa a safe trip home. the toughest weather will be in

9:40 am
think you'll get a legitimate response? >> i don't believe in spying, period. >> how about snooping? >> either somebody will cheat or they won't cheat. and no amount of sort of logging into their e-mail, trying to federal government out what figure out what's going on will stop it. >> in my experience with a lot of the emotional infidelity, 90% of the time, they find something. they find something awful that they didn't want to find. so i think the internet is kind of like a real game changer here. cheating has been around for thousands of years. the internet has only really been with us for ten years. i think it's a new technology. it requires new rules. >> i think expert cheaters as evidenced by jesse james and sandra bullock's maybe not knowing will be able to erase all records.
