anwar al awlaki, the american-born al qaeda leader who inspired the ft. hood shootings and times square bomb plot has been killed in yemen. we have the very latest details and we'll tell you why his death is key in the u.s. fight against terror. amanda knox is back in court this morning as her appeals trial comes to a close. the verdict is expected to monday after she addresses a judge and jury in a final plea for freedom. we'll go live to perugia for the latest inside the courtroom and hear from a former fbi agent who says knox is clearly innocent. and the bank fee frenzy continues. bank of america announcing it will begin charging customers 5 bucks a month just to use their debit cards. consumers understandably not

happy, but this may not be the last fee heading your way, "early" this friday morning, september 30th, 2011. captioning funded by cbs good morning. i'm erica hill. what a gorgeous -- >> it really is a beautiful sunrise this friday morning. good morning, everyone. i'm jeff glor. chris wragge is off this morning. we begin, erica, with the biggest blow to al qaeda, it appears, since osama bin laden was killed. >> exactly, just a few months ago. breaking news we're following this morning, a major al qaeda figure who was born here in the u.s. killed in yemen this morning. >> you've likely heard about him before. his name is anwar al awlaki. he was accused of planning or inspiring several terror plots here in the u.s. we'll get right to cbs news u.s. homeland security correspondent bob orr with us from washington. >> reporter: u.s. sources confirm anwar al awlaki is dead,

killed in a strike in yemen just hours ago. this, of course, comes five months after the death of osama bin laden and is another major setback for al qaeda. anwar al awlaki was near the top of the u.s. terror hit list. the american-born cleric in the past two years had become increasingly influential at the core of the al qaeda franchise in yemen. al awlaki was linked directly to two terror attacks on the u.s. in 2009, first the ft. hood shooting in texas, e-mail exchanges between awlaki and accused gunman hasan shows he was involved. he was also linked to a plot to bomb an airliner. abdel mu tallan trained at the camps. u.s. drones took a shot at awlaki and narrowly missed in may, but this morning, a u.s. strike apparently found its target, a convoy carrying awlaki and other operatives was

targeted and hit near the town of khashef. tribal sources say he was killed by missiles fired by u.s. drones, but u.s. officials will not confirm that level of detail. the death is a major blow to al qaeda. as a charismatic speaker fluent in english, he was a leading propagandist and recruiter. his fiery sermons resonate with radicals in the u.s. and britain, and his group, al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, is actively recruiting westerners with an online magazine called "inspire," with the latest edition coming out this week. but be clear about this, his death does not end the threat from al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. there are other top leaders and bombmakers who present a real, ongoing threat to the u.s. >> bob, this appeared to happen very quickly, this strike launched, what, at 3:00 a.m. eastern time. we got details two hours later? >> reporter: we were told they had a good lead on awlaki yesterday and they were hopeful they could take a shot. u.s. officials, though, had to be somewhat cautious here in

confirming it. the first news came out of yemen. there are political concerns and sensitivities there. then the other fact is no one wanted to be wrong. but now we're told by a number of sources that, in fact, they believe with a high degree of confidence that awlaki is dead. and let's be clear, this is very good news from the u.s., just five months after the other good news, the death of osama bin laden. >> indeed, it is. bob orr, thanks very much. want to bring in cbs news national security analyst juan zarate. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> significance here? >> quite significant. i think the united states has been quite concerned about anwar al awlaki and his operational role in the al qaeda franchise in yemen. he's been part of the inner core trying to target the u.s. we know about the december 25th failed attack as well as the package plot soon after that. so american officials have been worried about him not only innovating, but trying to attack the united states and being a core element of that group in yemen. >> juan, is there any concern that someone can step in and easily take his place, or is he

irreplaceable for al qaeda in yemen? >> well, i think awlaki's role is unique because he was not only an operational player as far as the external attack unit, but also a propagandist. i think his role as the propagandist, the pied piper for western recruits in yemen will be very difficult to fill, but his sermons are still on the internet, and i think we'll still hear his voice after his death. >> juan and bob, thanks to both of you. now here's erica. we turn now to the final arguments in amanda knox's appeal of her murder conviction in italy. this morning, attorneys for both sides have one last rebuttal, one last chance to try to convince a panel of judges. cbs news correspondent charlie d'agata is in perugia, italy, this morning with more. charlie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, erica. the atmosphere inside the courtroom this morning is very tense. you get a sense that this is finally coming to an end. now, prosecutors told jurors that the italian justice system is on trial and their decision

would render honor to the country. the next time amanda knox steps inside this italian court may be her last. after today's rebuttals from both sides in the murder case, knox herself will address the judge and jury on monday. the verdict could come later that day. in closing arguments, knox's lawyers say she was publicly crucified and impaled after being wrongly accused of killing her roommate, meredith kercher, in 2007. the head of her legal team is confident this time around amanda will walk free. >> we have explained today full range of the reason why we think this is a mistake. it's a decision that has to be rectified. so, together with akbland, we are now hopeful and we're moving forward. >> reporter: and this jury is going to accept that? >> that's what we hope. >> reporter: knox's lawyers say rudy guede acted alone in killing kercher when she disturbed him during a botched robbery. prosecutors say knox and her then boyfriend, raffaele

sollecito staged the break-in to cover their part in the murder. guede has already been found guilty but contends knox and sollecito took part, too. knox's mother expects another rough ride today. >> the prosecution does again, you know, the same old lies. they'll attack her personally because they have no evidence and that will be it, and so, it's hard to listen to. >> reporter: now, i spoke to amanda's lawyer this morning. i have to say, he's got a lot of swagger. he says the defense will wrap up today, there will be a break for the weekend, a short session on monday where we will hear from amanda. he's confident he'll get the verdict he wants that day. erica? >> all right, and we'll be watching. charlie d'agata in perugia this morning for us. there's been so much attention paid to this case and specifically to this appeal, whether or not things could turn around. joining us is retired fbi agent steve moore, who's done his own investigation of meredith kercher's murder, has followed this case very closely. steve, good to have you with us this morning. what's fascinating is that

initially you looked at this and you said, yeah, amanda knox is guilty. and then you did a little digging. what changed your mind? >> well, my initial belief that she was guilty was simply my confidence in fellow officers around the world. if they said she was guilty and if they said they had the knife and if they said she bought bleach, then obviously, the evidence was there. when i looked at the evidence, when i saw the crime scene and realized no bleach had ever been used to clean that crime scene, when i saw that the knife was too big to have inflicted the wounds they say it inflicted, and then i knew that the prosecutor was still saying these things when he had to know they were false, i knew there was something seriously wrong with this case. >> so, you actually went and you've looked at this information, you've looked at this evidence, you gained access to it, and in reading, you'veside these two should have been eliminated as suspects on day one, but they weren't. so, what happened to get to this point? >> that's the problem. the problem was, they should have been eliminated on day one,

but on day five, before the physical evidence came back, the prosecutor had already decided these must be the people because i know these things intuitively. that would be like you walking into a doctor with a pain in your chest and him saying i need no tests, i know that you have indigestion. you would want more investigation than that. and so, what he did is he arrested them. the tests came back and it was completely opposite what he thought, but he wouldn't back down. that's why we're here four years later. >> one of the reasons we heard from charlie this morning, the prosecution saying the italian justice system is on trial here. this has been a very different court case than it was the first time around. is this, in your estimation, because you're there as well, is this more about the justice system this time or is it more about evidence this time? >> it was about evidence last time and they disregarded it. the only thing the prosecutor has ever said that i believe is true is what he said today, the italian justice system is on trial. it absolutely is.

and every country has problems in their judicial system. the judgment about their system is whether they fix them, and today and this week and on monday, we will find out if the italians can fix it. >> i know that you've been in touch over the past year or so, you've been in touch with amanda's family. have you consulted at all with her attorneys? >> no. no. this is an italian case. i've spoken to the family. my views are well known, but i am not here to try and influence their attorneys. i am here to provide any kind of assistance, any kind of advice, and that's really what i'm here for. >> steve moore, it's fascinating stuff. i appreciate your time this morning. thank you. >> thank you. thank you. here at home this morning, there is news that millions of bank customers are not going to like very much. >> no. >> bank of america has announced plans to charge customers $5 a month just to use their debit cards starting next year, and other major banks are expected to add similar fees. >> yes, i think we can all see

that coming, right? the amazing announcement comes as a new rule takes effect for banks tomorrow, putting a cap on the fee they can charge retailers every time a customer uses a debit card. here to break this down for us and look at your financial future, "wall street journal" markets columnist kelly evans. kelly, good to have you with us this morning. in some ways, it's people are outraged, but it's probably not shocking, and this is clearly going to be the beginning for probably every bank, right? >> sure. in a sense, this is the most transparent way banks could charge customers for these accounts, because what we've seen in the past couple years is them using overdraft fee revenue and that kind of thing in order to make up their fee income, which over time has become a bigger and bigger share of their earnings because we have a weak economy, we have very low interest rates. so, for the traditional bread and butter of the banking business, lending, it's hard to make as much as you once did. that's especially true these days when there's little demand for loan. so, banks are under a lot of pressure. on top of that, there's a regulation taking effect this weekend to take the debit fee

they take from retailers, basically cutting that in half. so, that's not helping. as a result, they're saying we're losing a significant amount of rev, so we're going to charge you 5 bucks a month for that account. >> charging for a service is not outrageous, but this is a flat fee. this is not a customer being charged per charge. >> correct. this is a fee that will be used if you use your debit card. now, not if you take money out of an atm. so, we could all take out a bunch of cash and use it that way, but it feels like a back to the future moment. >> and this is if you use it as a credit card as well. you're going -- all you have to do is swipe it once during the month to make a purchase and you'll get that fee. >> exactly. bank of america, the biggest bank in the u.s., this durbin amendment to the dodd/frank legislation which changed the debit fee infrastructure, this applies to big banks. so, you've already seen a lot of customers saying this is crazy, forget it, i'm done with bank of america. other banks, wells fargo, jpmorgan, some of the other big banks, are already testing fees,

something like $3 a month in certain markets, and as we know, atm fees and overdraft fees themselves have still been going up because banks need this revenue. what will be interesting is if this drives people away from the convenience of a national bank to a local bank that may not have these fees. >> let's talk about that because people might look into the smaller banks. should people feel comfortable with that? >> you know, it's hard to say, but if what they're looking for -- because remember, who this most affects are people are lower checking accounts. because if you're a profitable customer for a bank, if you had a lot of money in your account, if you use a lot of their services, maybe mortgages, this probably won't apply to you. this really applies to people with lower balances. so for them, if they know this $5 fee will be a hit or overdraft fees are going going to be a hit, this makes sense to look around. >> but jeff brought up a good point, charging for a service, as outrageous as it may seem, because we're used to getting everything for free, not completely unheard of.

could fees like these trickle down to your local bank or credit union where you're trying to find a safe haven? >> certainly when the big guy does it, it's easier for the others to do it. banks will try to hold out and really get the customers while the big guys do it, but they may only be able to hold out for so long. sorry! >> kelly evans -- >> you don't have to apologize! >> fun fees. >> a good messenger at that. thanks for being here. betty nguyen is at the news desk with the day's other headlines. betty, good morning. you're just the messenger. >> yes, i am, and i'm not charging a fee today. good morning, everybody. good morning to you as well. add another food to the growing list of those contaminated with potentially deadly listeria. this time, it is lettuce from california it was shipped to oregon and may have gone on to at least two other states, that being washington and idaho. now, no illnesses from the recalled lettuce have been reported so far, but true leaf farms of salinas, california, is voluntarily recalling 90 cartons of chopped romaine lettuce in

came up and he said, "this is the first time i do mouth-to-mouth, but i have to, he's my friend." >> reporter: prosecutors say dr. murray wasted precious time before telling alvarez to call 911. >> we have a gentleman here that needs help and he's not breathing. he's not breathing and we need to -- we're trying to pump him, but he's not, he's not breathing, sir. >> okay. >> reporter: in the most damaging testify so far, alvarez said that before murray told him to call 911, he asked for help packing up medical bottles and equipment, including an iv bag with a vial inside. alvarez confirms the vial contained the powerful anesthetic propofol, the drug that killed michael jackson. >> dr. conrad murray, with michael jackson lying, fighting for his life, instead of calling 911, he tried to cover up evidence, he tried to con seal evidence. and if that's true, if the jury accepts that, conrad murray could be facing a very long fight. >> reporter: for its part, the defense is trying to shift part of the blame to jackson's inner circle, but observers say that

strategy may backfire if the jury feels those closest to the singer were also victimized by what prosecutors call murray's incompetence. ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. this morning, the jury will hear from paramedics who were sent to jackson's home after the 911 call. >> hearing more of that every day, just really surprising and interesting stuff coming out of there. so, definitely going to be -- >> continuing drama. >> that's for sure. betty nguyen is at the news desk this morning with another check of the headlines for us. good morning. >> good morning. u.s. officials have confirmed to cbs news that terrorist anwar al awlaki was killed this morning. he used the internet to encourage attacks on the u.s. he was apparently killed from a rocket from a u.s. drone in northern yemen this morning. awlaki had been implicated in an attempt to bomb a u.s.-bound jetliner back in 2009, and he had contact with the alleged ft. hood gunman. well, authorities in northern california say they are closing in on a murder suspect

be somebody else for a day, forget the issues of the economy. also, sales at dollar stores. we know they look at the sales at dollar stores for obvious reasons, but perhaps more telling are the people who are shopping there and what they're buying. >> sure. if you go to a dollar store these days, you'll see a lot of high-end station wagons and suvs in the parking lot. and part of that signifies a shift. those people may have been shopping at warehouse stores before, the coscos, the sam's of the world, where the cost of the roll of paper towel is less, but you have to buy 24 of them. so now there's a bias towards cash, paying as you go, sort of just in time inventory for your home at all income levels. >> you talk about looking to the skies for economic clues. >> yes. >> and we're talking about cargo planes here, whether they're full or empty. right now they're not very full. >> not so full. fedex has just reported that. and in fact, a trade industry group that carts cargo utilization, the space in cargo planes, including passenger planes with cargo areas, says

right now they're at 45%, so less than halfway full. at the height of the recession, that dipped down to 40%. here's what's concerning -- it went back up to 50% in 2010, so it's back down, which doesn't bode well for long-term recovery. >> we talk so much about the housing market and how we need to see recovery there before you'll see it. may not be happening, and they can tell this by corporate relocation? >> sure. i know you talk about housing all the time. in some markets, at some price points, corporate transferees, people who got new jobs and were relocated, accounts for 40% to 60% of the buyers. now they're opting to rent. they're saying i can't afford to take the risk, i don't know how long i'm going to have the job, or i'm under water on my existing home, i can't afford to take the loss, so guess what i'm going to do? i'm going to rent that one and then rent a new one where i'm going. so, all of those buyers that would be in the pipeline just aren't there. >> so many people took a bath and still trying to recover from our difficult housing market. finally, running. >> yeah.

♪ welcome back to the "early show." i'm erica hill along with jeff glor. chris wragge is off this morning. there is a lot of news to get to, though, this morning. talk about a busy friday. we want to get you the very latest this morning on the killing of anwar al awlaki. he's an american-born al qaeda leader in yemen. cbs news homeland security correspondent bob orr is in washington with more. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. well, this is another major body blow to the al qaeda terror network. in many ways, the american-born cleric anwar al awlaki was al qaeda's biggest threat to the u.s. anwar al awlaki was near the top of the u.s. terror hit list. the american-born cleric in the past two years had become

increasingly influential in the core of the al qaeda franchise in yemen. al awlaki was linked directly to two terror attacks on the u.s. in 2009, first the ft. hood shooting in texas. e-mail exchanges between awlaki and accused gunman nidal hasan, confirmed the al qaeda leader was the inspiration for the massacre that left 13 dead. he was also at the center of a plot to bomb a u.s. airliner the same year. accused bomber abdulmutallab trained at camps run by al awlaki's group in the arabian peninsula. u.s. drones took a shot at awlaki in may and narrowly missed, but this morning, a u.s. strike apparently found its target. a convoy carrying awlaki and other members was hit in southern yemen. sources say he was killed by missiles fired by u.s. drones. u.s. officials, though, will not confirm that level of detail. the death of awlaki is a major blow to al qaeda.

as a charismatic speaker fluent in english -- >> association between islam and terrorism. >> reporter: -- he was a leading propagandist and recruiter. his fiery sermons filled the internet and resonated with radicals in u.s. and britain. and his group, al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, is recruiting listeners with an online magazine "inspire," which published its latest edition this week. but let's be clear about this, awlaki's death does not end the threat from al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. in fact, that group was behind last year's attempted attack in which bombs were hidden inside printer cartridges on two cargo jets bound for this country. and the yemen-based bombmaker is among those still at large. erica? >> bob orr for us in d.c. bob, thanks. want to check in now with the white house. cbs news white house correspondent bill plante has more on this story. bill, good morning to you. >> reporter: jeff, good morning to you. that drone strike was welcome news here at the white house. the president, of course, was informed. awlaki has been a priority target for more than a year. as bob said, he was the first american placed on the cia's

kill or capture list. so, this is a big boost for the president in an area where there is already general bipartisan agreement, that of military operations against the al qaeda terror threat. senior administration officials confirmed awlaki's death to cbs news earlier in the day, and as one said, "that leaves zawahiri," the egyptian who is now the commander, the successor of osama bin laden. jeff? >> all right, bill plante at the white house. bill, thanks very much. >> and we'll take a look at some of the other stories we're following for you on this friday. betty nguyen is over at the news desk. good morning once again. good morning, erica and jeff. and good morning to you. prosecutors at the amanda knox appeal began their final rebuttal today. they insist that the former student from seattle should spend the rest of her life in an italian prison. knox wants to be set free. "48 hours mystery" correspondent peter van sant, who first raised serious questions three years ago about the weakness of the prosecution's case against knox is in perugia, italy, with more this morning. good morning, peter. so, what happened in court this morning?

>> reporter: well, in the case, it has always been much more about perception than real evidence, prosecutor giuliano mignini once again attacked amanda knox and her boyfriend, raffaele sollecito, for not properly viewing death scene photos of the victim in this case, meredith kercher. the implication was that amanda couldn't look at these photos because she's one of the killers, and when he talked about raffaele sollecito, he said he looked at the photos a couple of times with a face of ice. he has to do these personal attacks because the dna evidence in this case has been thrown out, the key eyewitnesses have been discredited, and there is really not much left except to go after the accused themselves and to attempt to dehumanize them. >> so, peter, given that, what is the latest prediction on when this trial will actually end? >> reporter: there had been some speculation that this could end on saturday, but right now, it

looks as though monday. on that day, amanda knox and her boyfriend will each give a final statement to the court. it's known as a declaration, a pressure-packed moment which amanda knox will be allowed to address the jury, the two judges in this case, and explain why she gave that so-called false confession and to give her side of the story. right after that, the jury will deliberate, and we expect some sort of a verdict just a few hours after they leave this courthouse. >> we'll be watching closely. all right, cbs's peter van sant in italy. thank you, peter. republican insiders tell cbs news there is now a 50/50 chance new jersey governor chris christie will seek the gop presidential nomination. christie was in louisiana yesterday, the final stop on a three-state, campaign-like swing, where he said it is time to unite america, and he also talked about the current occupant at the white house. >> if you're looking for leadership in america, you know you're not going to find it in the oval office.

if you're looking for leadership in america, you're finding leadership in america in the state houses. >> but christie will have to move fast. florida is expected to announce today that it's moving its presidential primary up to january 31st, and that would spark a domino effect. iowa, new hampshire, south carolina and nevada all are currently scheduled to hold caucuses and primaries in february, and that would also move to january. and check out the first lady. michelle obama was incognito yesterday at a target store in alexandria, virginia. it's kind of hard to tell that she's the first lady, but she was spotted wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap during a brief shopping trip. the secret service was there before her arrival to check security. only the cashier who rang up her purchases recognized her. mrs. obama has said in the past that she misses doing normal things.

>> announcer: this weather report sponsored by mercedes-benz. experience truly great engineering today at your authorized dealer. this morning, the music world is buzzing over the performance of a beethoven piece that had been lost for more than 200 years. >> yes, indeed. and cbs news correspondent mark phillips has more. ♪ >> reporter: roll over, beethoven it isn't, but the

piece of music performed by this quartet in manchester, england, has the classical music world all atwitter, in the old way. they're excited. the reason for the excitement is that this movement, part of beethoven's string quartet in g, opus 18 number 2, its full name, is billed as a lost sonata, now found. >> now we're going to hear for the first time since 1800 -- if it was ever performed in 1800 -- a reconstructed original version. ♪ >> reporter: the team at the university of manchester called it reconstructed because they had to piece it together from musical notes left behind by the great composer. the original work was never completed and published because beethoven didn't like it enough to keep it. he threw it away and wrote another version, which everybody

admits is better. still, ludwig von's trash is someone else's masterpiece. >> i sense people were listening very intently, and the reception for the first performance was extraordinary. >> reporter: it's not as if beethoven's musical legacy needs enhancing. he's left a body of some of the world's most famous and powerful work, which may be why even the stuff he didn't like is still good enough for us now and why a discarded bit of musical scribbling is now considered a major find. mark phillips, cbs news, london. >> it's very cool stuff. >> and very cool to listen to. >> it is. i like it. >> yeah, good stuff. >> all right. so, we've decided it's good stuff. >> we've decided officially. up next this morning, from energy drinks to the flu, dr. jennifer ashton is answering questions that you submitted about your health. it is "ask it early" on a friday. you're watching the "early show" on cbs. ♪

in this morning's "health watch," ask it early. you sent us your health-related questions, everything from preventing the flu to boosting your energy, and as always, medical correspondent jennifer ashton will bring you the answers. good morning. >> good morning, erica. >> so, our first question comes from joe, and we actually have it on tape. here's joe. >> hello. my name is joe, and i'd like to know if energy drinks are really as bad for you as they say they are? >> ooh, the energy drinks don't say they're bad, but people say they're bad. >> exactly. and like so many things, erica, they absolutely can be if taken in excessive quantities. i mean, these drinks contain not just caffeine in sometimes very, very high doses, but oftentimes, a lot of sugar, a lot of other herbal stimulants, and of course, we've heard a lot in the news recently about them being mixed with alcohol to get kind of a wide-awake, drunk feeling. so, absolutely, they can be dangerous. and i think people need to understand that like anything,

in moderation, once in a while. if you're taking it instead of a cup of coffee, fine. if you're relying on it as your primary beverage, it could absolutely be a problem. and the american academy of pediatrics is very clear that children and even teenagers really should avoid them. >> yeah, and you bring up that important point, too, about people mixing them with alcohol. that sounds like a dangerous mix. >> very bad idea. >> our next question comes from our facebook page. byron sent this in, asking "how do you know the first signs of becoming diabetic?" >> first of all, this is a myth, actually, a misconception that a lot of people have, that you have to be obese or overweight to be diabetic, and that is not true. obviously, that's one risk factor, as is your family history, and there are two main types of diabetes, type 1, which typically is diagnosed in younger children or teenagers, where their body doesn't make enough insulin. type 2 we see diagnosed more in older patients who may have an obesity or weight problem where their body is resistant to the insulin they do make. but the symptoms are very important for people to

understand, and they can include extreme fatigue, unexplained weight loss, which is sometimes counterintuitive. you think again of the obese and the overweight. extreme hunger and thirst and frequent urination. if you have any of these symptoms or things like a wound that doesn't heal well, speak to your doctor. it's very easy to diagnose, erica, with a simple blood test. you don't even have to be fasting anymore. >> and just to clarify, too, those would be the same symptoms for type 1 and type 2. >> yeah, they really do overlap. so, it's a simple blood test, a hemoglobin a-1c. you don't have to fast anymore. then you can do the traditional fasting test as well. as many as one in three people who are diabetic may not even know they are, so this is potentially very, very serious. >> very high number and a serious issue to deal with as well, so you want to nip it in the bud. the last question is from lauren, as we head into cold and flu season. >> how can i prevent the flu happening for me? how can i prevent getting a cold when i'm riding mass transit and what vitamins can i take to prevent sickness?

>> you get a 3-in-1 there. >> and we talk about this all the time, probably the best thing you can do if you're not feeling well, don't go to work or school. you're just contaminating and infecting other people. but as we go into flu season, which really starts in october, goes through april and peaks in january, the most important thing to prevent or reduce your risk of getting the flu and lessen the severity of symptoms if you do get sick is to get your annual flu shot. after that, hand hygiene, very important. wash your hands frequently. use those alcohol-based hand sanitizers. they can definitely help. >> especially if you're taking mass transit. >> oh, 100%, or you're leaving the gym or you're shaking a lot of hands or getting on elevators. use them frequently and wash your hands often. then, avoid touching your face, nose and mouth. we don't realize how often during the day we bring our hands to our face. that is the root of contamination, when you're bringing that virus right to our face. so, the less you do that, the better. >> all right. great advice, as always. jen, thanks.

>> you bet. >> now here's jeff. >> erica, thank you. up next here, the ten most popular tourist spots in the entire world. we'll take you live to one of the top destinations. here's a hint, it's not too far away. you're watching the "early show" on cbs. >> announcer: cbs "health watch" sponsored by aleve. two pills, all day strong, all day long. s lara. her morning begins with arthritis pain. that's a coffee and two pills. the afternoon tour begins with more pain and more pills. the evening guests arrive. back to sore knees. back to more pills. the day is done but hang on... her doctor recommended aleve. just 2 pills can keep arthritis pain away all day with fewer pills than tylenol. this is lara who chose 2 aleve and fewer pills for a day free of pain. and get the all day pain relief of aleve in liquid gels. and fewer pills for a day free of pain. ♪ hershey's drops. a lot of hershey's happiness in a little drop of chocolate.

against vegas, never bet against the house, because this place is really coming back. i think the movie "the hangover" from 2009 really, really sparked a lot more interest. it's the las vegas strip that is the number four on this list. and people, 90% of the people that come to vegas stay on the strip, and why not? you can get everything you want in vegas right there, including some great people watching. >> yes, indeed. mark, one thing we talked about a little bit here that might surprise some people is, so nine of the ten destinations on the list are all in north america. >> that's right. that was a little surprising to me. of course, it makes it a lot easier for us to go visit those, but number ten on the list was the grand bazaar in istanbul, turkey. i've been there a couple times and it's amazing. it's a covered market that goes on forever and ever, built in the 15th century. is looks like something out of 1,001 arabian nights come to life. you don't want to miss it, if you ever have a chance. >> it's interesting, mark, because erica hill is organizing

suspicions are often confirmed. so, i think with the internet altering the landscape of infidelity, i think you almost have a responsibility to snoop on your partner. >> oh, my goodness, ian. ugh, horrible! >> a responsibility? >> oh, my goodness. >> nip it in the bud. >> snooping is absolutely detestable. it shows a total lack of trust and a lack of respect, i think, for your partner, and it's a mark of this insecurity that marks an unhealthy relationship. i mean, if we had good relationships, we could talk about our suspicions enough to -- >> i just want to say that if you are in a trusting relationship with somebody that you love, you should have nothing to hide, and the internet should be like a telephone in the middle of your living room, you can pick it up at any time and say, hey, with your wife in the room -- >> how are you being entrusting with them if you're looking at their messages? >> you're absolutely not! i mean, everyone is entitled to have a little bit of privacy, and once you make the assumption that your partner is hiding something, your relationship is going down a very bad path. >> a lot of people are doing this. there is a survey over the

summer, 33%, so basically, a third of the people say yes, i have checked either the e-mail or messages, i've checked the phone. and when you break it down by sex, when people are dating -- >> these are interesting. >> here are the numbers when they're dating. 30% of men do it in a dating relationship, 35% of women. so i mean, you know, you sort of factor it in, it's almost equal. >> well, look at how much people lie when they date and how they lie online, and especially with online dating. they put up false things on their profiles -- >> wait a minute, are you saying they don't really look like their picture? >> do they ever? >> so, i think there are some legitimate reasons for sometimes wanting to get at the authenticity of a person when you're dating. >> it's not a surprise for men and women, i think, equally are insecure about what their partners are doing online. but if we acknowledge the suspicions and said to our partner, listen, i love you and i don't want you to think i don't trust you, but i'm having these feelings, can you confirm or deny them? but we don't do that.

we don't operate on instinct, we snoop. >> no, and so we go down that slippery slope of engaging in behaviors that are secretive, and that's my problem. it's not often what people are doing, it's that they're creating an atmosphere of secrecy around their internet usage and around their texting. >> so, how successful is it, successful snooping? some other interest numbers. the survey found that 10% of dating couples discovered infidelities, while only 3% of married group discovered infidelities. >> it certainly doesn't yield the success that you would think from snooping. >> so, here's the question, then, because we're talking about trust in relationships, and obviously, a little difference of opinion, which makes this -- >> just a little. >> but should you then trust your spouse or your partner enough to share all your passwords with them? >> absolutely. i leave my e-mail open all the time. my wife can bore herself to death any time she wants to go through my e-mail, and i think we have a loving, trusting relationship where we don't need to be suspicious of each other. but the point is, she can pick up my cell phone, she can listen to my voicemails, she can check

my e-mail -- >> i'm a tell all kind of girl, but really, i don't want to know my husband's passwords and he doesn't want to know mine, either. we respect each other's privacy. >> every day my wife says what's my password on amazon? i'm like, honey, write it down. >> oh, i don't know. >> thanks, guys. good stuff. dr. logan levkoff and ian kerner. enjoyable debate. >> always. it's no secret "the lion king 3d" has been crushing at the box office recently, which means, of course, if they have success with one thing, hollywood will go back to the vault to see what else they can give the 3d treatment to. ♪ it's the circle of life >> the circle of life continues for disney's animated hit "the lion king." >> repeat after me -- >> when it was released in theaters in 1994, it became the highest grossing animated movie of all time.

♪ ♪ what a wonderful phrase >> now 17 years later, a 3d rerelease has surprised many, spending the past two weekends at the top of the box office chart, taking in over $65 million so far. and get ready for more. some of hollywood's biggest hits are also getting the 3d reboot. >> i'm the "the lion king 3kink! >> in april, a 3d version of "titanic," the second biggest movie of all time, will be released. a 3d "star wars" episode 1 "the phantom menace" comes out in february, and the tom cruise classic "top gun" is also reportedly in the works. >> i feel the need, the need for speed! >> how much i love that movie. >> one of the greatest movies of all time. here with more on the 3d phenomenon is dalton ross, assistant managing editor for "entertainment weekly" magazine.

dalton, good morning to you. good friday morning. >> good morning! >> so, let's talk about "the lion king 3d" first because the success has been stunning. were you surprised by that? >> i think everyone was surprised. i think disney was surprised. i mean, $66 million and counting, number one at the box office not just one weekend, but two and going on three weekends, if it holds up over the next few days. absolutely amazing. >> and so, the big draw here was -- i mean, the movie's a draw, but also the fact that it's in 3d. >> yeah. >> so, which seems to be all the rage nowadays, of course. so, they're looking at not only is this a success for the rerelease, but the 3d version. so, where else do you see them rereleasing movies with the 3d? >> i think "the lion king 3d" proved what the magic formula is -- you want a movie with a lot of nostalgic value and something that plays to families. so, you say i loved this as a kid, i want to re-experience it and introduce my kids to it. that way, they're not selling just one ticket, but three or four, and that seems to be the formula that works. >> facebook asked users what movie they would like put out in 3d and the number one response was "the wizard of oz," which

maybe is not surprising. any chance that happens? >> i guess it makes sense, i mean, if you think about it, because "the wizard of oz" is something that is all about this fantastical visual stimulation, right? dorothy starts off in this ho-hum black-and-white farm, and then all of a sudden, technicolor explosion. so you say why not add extra layers to that, depth with the 3d? so, in that sense, it does make sense. >> the other top responses from facebook were "willy wonka" and "back to the future," the delorean coming at you. >> i see "willy wonka" as the same thing as "oz," you want the wacky chocolate factory in 3d. oompa-loompa's in 3d may be a little scary. take the glasses off for that one. >> back off, loopas. somebody said "fight club." >> i'm not sure that's a family movie. >> see "fight club." >> don't talk about "fight club," that's the first rule of "fight club." >> there you go. >> sony announced, meantime, that they're going to release the original 2d "ghostbusters"

now, be in theaters, what, in october. >> yeah, i think that -- look, fans of the movie would always love any opportunity to see it back on the big screen. that did that with "back to the future" last year, brought it back, limited release. i think, though, if you're not adding any bells or whistles, new scenes, extra footage or 3d, i think the box office impact will be minimal, but fans of the film will love it. >> same thing. >> same thing. >> i would like to see "ghostbusters 2" more. >> really? >> i was a bigger fan of 2. >> i don't know if i could get behind 2. bobby brown and everything? no. >> i'm trying to remember who was in that movie. >> exactly. >> i have to watch it again. maybe there's a reason for that. i have to ask you, quickly, 3d, everything is in 3d, and sometimes it's tough if you have little kids and it's a family movie. maybe you don't want them to have to wear the glasses. are they overdoing 3d? >> absolutely, and it's interesting that "the lion king" has been such a hit because we're seeing with current movies, parents are saying i don't want to pay the $4 extra, i don't want the huge glasses on my child. i'll go to 2d and it will be fine.

so absolutely, i think you're seeing a rush towards more 2d in the current films. >> the glasses are better now. >> but my older son has a hard time -- >> it takes you a few minutes to adjust. >> it absolutely does. sometimes it's too much all around. and like i said, they're expensive. >> we're going to broadcast the "early show" in 3d on monday, actually, so -- no, that's not true. >> no. >> get your glasses now. >> dalton, thank you. >> always nice to see you. thanks. just ahead, this is the moment you have all been waiting for -- okay, that i've been waiting for, because it smells really good. forget the burgers. jeff glor is going to introduce us to gourmet tailgating it was a grueling assignment. i don't know that he's recoveredet. >> a 3d

there it is off in the distance, the meadowlands. you know me and my football

knowledge. >> it's in the meadowlands. >> there you go. a lot more to football than football. just ask any die-hard nfl fan. jeff glor. >> there you go. thank you very much. 16 million americans, i'm one of them, will pack nfl stadiums this season, but for many of the fans, the party begins long before the game, and tailgating is no longer just about burgers and dogs. a new survey says that half of today's tailgaters consider themselves to be gourmet food grillers or between gourmet and basics food grillers. so, of course, we headed to western new york for a sample. ♪ let's get it started in here >> reporter: orchard park, new york, sunday afternoon, the temple of tailgating. >> tailgating! >> reporter: it's where we met joe cahn, the self-anointed commissioner of what he calls the last great american neighborhood. the tailgate party. >> it's a new community social. it's like walking through thousands of backyards with no privacy fences. it is very unique to this country. >> let's go buffalo! >> reporte >> what you see out here, you

don't see anybody surfing the web, you don't see anybody looking at a television set. they're talking to each other and they're listening to each other. and i think that's the important thing. >> reporter: real conversation and real food, food that seems to get better every year. >> we basically have taken tailgating and kicked it up into gourmet cooking. we look at tailgating as being able to provide not just burgers and dogs, but let's do jambalaya on a sandwich, let's do different things and make people go, wow, that's really good. >> reporter: we were salivating over the selections -- lobster and clams, lamb skewers on a special spaducci grill, white hots, a new york speciality dog topped here with homemade sauce and a special slaw, and a patty this guy calls the hybrid, sirloin beef mixed with sausage, sweet peppers and onions. why do this instead of -- >> boring! >> reporter: too boring. >> a lot of people here have burgers. nobody here has a mixture.

>> reporter: i love it. >> the food is getting more adventurous, and i think that's because of media, but people themselves are getting more exposed to different type of foods, and people are willing to try different type of foods. >> tailgating! >> reporter: different foods from familiar places. and as my two brothers know well -- >> you don't need a big grill. >> small grill, big sausages. >> and you've got different types of sausages. >> hungarian, german-style brats and bratwurst. >> these are all western new york sausages. >> how do you think they're looking? >> they're looking really well. look at that. we just see that little caramelization. >> reporter: washed down with a little western new york beer, doesn't get much better, even though it could get healthier. one of the breakfast selections we tried, the mouthful. >> blueberry pancake, hash, bacon, pepperjack cheese, sausage, egg and hot sauce. >> exactly. >> i didn't think it would be good, but it is good. >> that's actually most people's first impression. >> reporter: no matter where you

go or what your appetite calls for, you can find it. and if you go home unhappy, it won't be because of the friends or the food. >> is this heaven? julia childs could be walking through and james beard walking through the tailgate area and say is this heaven? you go, i think so. >> the commissioner of tailgating with the old jim kelly jersey, too, and i like your colts outfit. >> my colts jersey? >> where's my dallas cowboys shirt? >> we have to get you one. >> let me down, guys, but you made up for it in food. >> yes, we did bring some food. we have the white hots here. slaw on top of there. yeah, try some of those. >> all right. >> that's a rochester speciality. >> look at this thing. >> i was -- obviously, not necessarily a western new york speciality, i was surprised to see the lobster. that was cool. >> gourmet. >> we've got the hybrids and then we've got some beer that actually my brother brewed just for us, from naked dove brewery in canandaigua. >> this is delicious, by the way. >> some of the ingredients for this beer came from just ten miles away from the brewery.

>> let's see. >> it's called hopulus loculous.
