good morning. there are growing concerns over today's big jobs report as economists worry it won't do enough to calm fears of a double dip recession and as protests grow around the country the president tells congress voters will run you out of town if you don't pass a jobs bill. we will have more on the economy and the political fight in washington. today marks the ten-year anniversary of the war in afghanistan where 100,000 american troops are still fighting every day. we will take a look at the decade of duty and sacrifice through the stories of two veterans. a brewing controversy over prostate cancer screening. the same panel of experts that called for fewer mammograms now say healthy men should not be tested for prostate cancer because testing doesn't save

lives. we will talk about it "early" this friday morning, october 7th, 2011. captioning funded by cbs good morning. welcome to a beautiful start of the day here on a friday. it is friday. i'm chris wragge. >> i'm erica hill. happy friday. >> yes. feels good right now. a key report on jobs. unemployment numbers for september coming out this morning and nobody expects any great news today. >> no. in fact, the real question for a lot of people is will the numbers be any better than august when you may recall zero jobs were created. for a closer look at the expectations. business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis joins us this morning with more. so give us an idea what are people expecting this morning? >> analysts on average are expecting to learn today that the economy created 65,000 jobs in the month of september and that did nothing for the unemployment rate. in fact, it notched higher to

9.2% according to their expectations. two things to keep in mind when you look at these numbers. first off, last month, economists and analysts got that number wrong. they actually thought it was going to be better than what it turned out to be. second of all just to keep pace with population growth, you need 150,000 new jobs every month, so this number, even though there is jobs created, it doesn't keep pace with population growth and when you go back in time and you look back at where we have been in this economy, for two years, plus now, we have been near or above 9% unemployment. you have to go all the way back to january of 2008 to find a time where unemployment was at a norm normalized level which was 5%. >> will the numbers disclosed today give us any more clues as to whether we are there at a double dip recession? >> if they continue to be bad and the expectation is that they do, that will be one more thing that economists add into their puckett of reasons why they think we are not in good reason and why they think the

unemployment and overall economy is heading for worst times ahead. >> we talk about the "occupy wall street" protests spread across the country. i know there are diverse concerns but are there concerns beginning to be heard by people in washington and on wall street? >> you hear it reflected in the president's speeches this week. he is utilizing that anger and frustration to drive his jobs bill forward. the people on the floor at the new york stock exchange they see it. it's in their neighborhood. they get it and realize a lot of anger and some on wall street who feel like, gee, i'm a guy who clocks in like anyone else and seen a number of people on the floor lose their job. there is anger and a lot of people who haven't had a conversation together yet, wall street and the people outside really haven't had that conversation. >> maybe that day is coming. we will keep looking i. you can moderate that.

>> sounds like fun. on thursday, president obama took on republicans demanding action on his jobs bill. senior white house correspondent bill plante has more. good morning, bill. >> reporter: good morning, chris. of course, the president has been crisscrossing the country pushing that jobs bill in all of the key states own on thursday's news conference which lasted more than an hour, he kept up on the pressure on congress saying if they don't pass the bill, the voters are going to send them packing. you've been out on the campaign trail banging away at them saying, pass this bill. >> right. >> reporter: it begins, sir, to look like you're campaigning and like you're following the harry truman model against the do nothing congress instead of negotiating. are you negotiating? will you? >> i am always open to negotiations. what is also true is they need to do something. if congress does something, then i can't run against a do nothing congress. if congress does nothing, then it's not a matter of me running against them. i think the american people will

run them out of town. >> reporter: the president demanded explanations from lawmakers who opposed 447 billion dollar bill he says will create jobs. >> why would you be opposed to tax cuts for small businesses and tax cuts for american workers? >> reporter: the bill, which is expected to go to the senate floor next week, now includes 5.6% tax increase on those making more than a million dollars. mr. obama signaled in the news conference that he is comfortable with that, but it will likely kill the bill in the senate. it's already dead in the house. the president says republicans won't talk to him. they say it's the other way around. >> all year, i've reached out to the president, reached out to the president, but you have to have a willing partner. >> reporter: with the president's approval rating at 44%, congress' at 11% and demonstrators raging against wall street, mr. obama sympathizes with the protesters. >> these guys doing the right

things aren't rewarded and a lot of the guys doing the right thing are rewarded. >> reporter: you can see the argument taking shape for the 2012 election and what the president is going to be saying that the middle class is losing out, so heads-up, it's coming. >> bill, thanks. also in washington this morning, host of "face the nation" bob schieffer along with major garrett. gentlemen, good to have both of you with us. bob, it seems like with each speech, the president is sort of ramping up this push or called action on his part. how is that playing, though, to lawmakers? >> well, a lot of democrats really like it. they have been wanting the president to, you know, put a much more point on his arguments and to really take on these republicans. republicans don't like it, of course. you just heard john boehner and what he said. but this is -- this is all part of how it's going to be. any who has been watching the

president out on the campaign trail in recent days and recent weeks, this is his message. we got to do something. the situation is dire and if republicans are not willing to go along with me, i'm going to call them out by name and he has been doing that. it's been a long time -- it was a long time coming, i think, but this is -- this is the strategy from here on in, i think, erica. >> that is the strategy there. major, in many ways, though, we listen to the president. you listen to speaker boehner and it almost feels like a he said/he said from both sides. can anything -- i feel like a broken record asking you this -- but can anything get accomplished when there seems to be an increasing divide here and people calling each other out? >> well, some of this theatrical on the republican side they want to hold the line.

there will ultimately be some agreement on tax cuts. not the way the republicans have written it but probably some green light downstream. the president won't get all of what he wants but he may get about a third of it. speaker boehner said yesterday he has lost a governing partner and the president has given up on the country, given up on legislating and all he is about it campaigning. republicans have begun to feel the heat from the president and what they want to do is undercut say this isn't fighting for you, this is fighting for one job, the president's and that is a dynamic that will continue to play out. >> in all reality, the campaign is on full swing on both sides. major, take a look what happened this week in the gop race for the nomination for president. herman cain at the top of the polls and falling out with some other folks hearing from chris christie and sarah palin they won't one. herman cain is not your traditional candidate. how long can he maintain that momentum? >> well, he has to go through what he hasn't gone through so far which is secrete knee. herman cain has not been

scrutinized very much and been a very capable debate person and has a simple engaging and interesting tax reform plan and he is a complete outsider and in a presidential campaign, unlike i've ever seen before the fact you're a complete outsider is a qualifier. it used to be something to get you in the conversation and now allows you to dominate the conversation at least on the republican side, he has that advantage but once the scrutiny comes he has to deal with the way that rick perry and michele bachmann and everybody else did and we learn scrutiny sometimes undercuts your poll numbers. >> bob, when it comes to rick perry, he hasn't been the greatest week for him. is this something he came out of the gate so strong. is this something he can recover from and truly remain a contender or are we seeing the beginning of the end of his campaign? >> well, he certainly lost a lot of support but as major and he were just talking just before this, he has also raised $17 million. he can stay around for a while

because he has been able to raise this money. but he's got -- you know, as ricky ricardo with used to see on to lucy on "the lucille ball" show he has a lot of explaining to do. we will see how he does that. he has not done well in the debates up to this point but when you can raise that kind of money, it will keep him around for a while. >> we know you need a lot of money to be in this case. great to have you both with us. bob's guest this sunday morning will be herman cain and newt gingri gingrich. some health groups say the recommendation could lead in their estimation to more cancer deaths. next to skin cancer, pro is state cancer is the most common type found in men. more than 240,000 men will be diagnosed with it this year. 34,000 will die.

our medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton is here with more this morning. this comes as a surprise probably to a lot of people that there will be a recommendation against a test which screens for this. what is behind this? >> right. surprise maybe to the lay public but definitely not to the medical community. this has been brewing for quite sometime. first let's look at what this test is. it's called the psa which stands for prot state specific antigen and it measures a protein made by prostate cells and not always cancer indicating. now what we expect the new recommendations to show the men under age 75 now this is a d-grade test which means don't do it because in their estimation, the harm of this test really outweighs the benefit. we should po that men over the age of 75 are already recommended not to get this screening test. >> they have been debating the benefits of this psa test so long. why is there such controversy here? >> we see this in a lot of fields of medicine.

we saw it with the mammography debate in 2009. the problem with the tsa some groups are saying its not a highly accurate test and there could be false positives leading to unnecessary biopsy, surgery, radiation with significant consequences like incontinence and impetus and there could be false/negatives when a man could get a normal result when it is, in fact, cancer. what the group is looking at whether or not the test saves lives and that is what is being debated now. >> jen, thanks. let's go over to jeff glor. he has a check of other headlines for us today. we just got word this morning that three women have been awarded this year's nobel peace prize. the women honored for their efforts to advance women's right especially africa and the middle. the winners are sirleaf president of liberian and gibowee and karman. >> we cannot achieve democracy

and lasting peace in the world unless women have the same opportunities as men of developments of all levels of society. >> karman said the award was a victory for all women and the message that the era of arab dictatorship is over. giffords was at yesterday's retirement ceremony for her husband astronaut mark selly. vice president biden presided there. her second trip to washington since she was shot in january. prince harry in the u.s. this morning and arrived yesterday at a california air base to take part of a apache helicopter training lasting two months. two national league division series will be decided tonight. philadelphia hosts st. louis and arizona in milwaukee. both are game fives. in the american league last night another game five, the tigers got back-to-back home

his leader? >> cbs news john blackstone is in cupertino, california, with more on that for us this morning. john, good morning. >> good morning, chris. >> reporter: here at apple's headquarters, employees had suspected for weeks that steve jobs didn't have long to live ever since he stepped down as ceo. but even knowing it was coming, his death was still a shock here and just about everywhere else. trip beauties to steve jobs spread throughout the world following news of his death. from social media to the steps of the company's retail stores, fans of steve jobs came to celebrate his life, while others wondered how his company could survive without him. ♪ >> reporter: those familiar with apple's iconic products need look no further than the man who created most of them, jonathan ive. >> he was the lead designer for so many of the famous apple products from the imac ipod and

the macbooks. >> hey, johnny! >> reporter: an english designer joined apple in 1992. within five years, he was the company's conceptual mind behind those products consumers couldn't live without. >> when you think about those clean lines, that simplicity that is really his trademark. >> a desirable design is a design that helps you do something, not only better than you did it before, but in ways you didn't anticipate. >> reporter: for students at a new york institute apple's success building products people have to own remains a constant inspiration. >> but they have also kind of transformed the hors eye son for everyday living. >> a social obligation now to have a cool gadget. >> reporter: while these students strive to make their mark, they are also confident apple's hold as makers of the coolest gadgets of all is in the right hands. >> i don't think it's -- it's a rutterless ship, you know, without steve jobs. i think, you know, considering he had such like a massive

personality, tremendous influence, those waves will be felt well into the future. >> reporter: those new products from apple are designed in jonathan ives studio said to be deep within apple's headquarters here and a place so secretive that most apple employees are not even allowed to enter. chris, erica? >> i wonder if they even really know where it is, john? super secret. john blackstone at apple headquarters, thanks. still to come, we will show you how apple fans have gone on youtube to tell you how much they will miss steve jobs. hear the emotional tributes coming out. the link between unemployment and your health, we all know how the stress of being out of work can affect you physically and emotionally. we will give you the tools to help deal with that. that is ahead this morning on "the early show." it burns! it's singeing me. it's the sun. get out of the office more often, with chili's $6 lunch break combos, featuring texas toast half sandwiches.

antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking seroquel xr have an increased risk of death. call your doctor if you have fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, as these may be signs of a life-threatening reaction or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with seroquel xr and medicines like it and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. your doctor should check for cataracts. other risks include increased cholesterol and weight gain as well as seizures, dizziness on standing, drowsiness, impaired judgment, trouble swallowing, and decreases in white blood cells, which can be fatal. use caution before driving or operating machinery. isn't it time to put more distance between you and your depression? talk to your doctor about seroquel xr. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

regular briefings as early as july of 2010 and we will be posting some more documents that also show then deputy attorney general gary grinler got a detailed briefing on the gun smuggling operation in 2010 and took handwritten notes and marked up photographs of ak 47s and he noted seizures in mexico and why the justice department is having to push back a little bit in what the president was talking about. >> the original investigation began in arizona but you found out this has now spread to other states? >> yes. through our investigation which we have been working on for many months. looking through cases, we found there were things sometimes linged one way or another to fast and furious and sometimes apparently freestanding cases. examples of alleged gun walking in ten cities and five states and that we found. some of the cases go back as far as 2006 under the bush administration and a number of them we found were still ongoing when fast and furious was exposed and atf quickly drew

them to a close. >> what is next now in this investigation as things seem to be really heating up? >> reporter: we only have a partial picture of what is going on. we have moved a long way the past few months but still many more documents that congress has asked for from the justice department and white house and other divisions and they are waiting to hear some of the documents turned over by the justice department this week stopped after early august. i imagine regular briefings continued but we don't have those records, so i think we will be getting a better picture in the big view in the weeks and months to come. >> as it all continues to unfold. sharyl attkisson in washington, thank you. we turn to amanda knox who returned to seattle this week after an italian appeals court overturned her murder convict. >> "48 hours" correspondent peter van sant has followed the case from the beginning and joins us from seattle with a preview of tomorrow night's special broadcast of "48 hours mystery."

foreign country. >> reporter: give me a sense of what amanda wants to do with her future. >> you know, she does want to finish her degree. maybe in five years, she may be an advocate for people that have been wrongfully convicted and trying to have them feel what she felt and let it be known that there still is a light at the end of the tunnel. >> reporter: she suddenly has control in her life again. what does she want to do? >> she almost kind of reborn in a way. i mean, living for four years inside a concrete and steel, you know, prison and now being able to kind of just look around, smell the air, and just do what she wants to do, hopeful when she wants to do it, it makes a huge difference. >> reporter: and she wants to get out and start living life again but is there a problem when she steps out that front door, there is about 15 paparazzi waiting to take her photograph. the family is hoping has will settle down soon and that she can go out and do simple things

like get some ice cream or tea with her best friend. >> we heard she wanted to go to her favorite tee place. are we learning more about the four years in prison and what life was like for her? >> reporter: yes in our "48 hours" special that will air tomorrow night we learn about sexual harassment inside prison where an administrator would take her up to his office alone at night and say a number of inappropriate things to her and that left amanda terrified and we will have more on that tomorrow night. >> talk about disturbing. you can only imagine. cbs peter van sant in seattle for us this morning, thanks. in terms to the special edition of "48 hours miystery" tune in n cbs tomorrow night at 10:00, 9:00 central. here is jeff glor at the news desk with a check of today's other headlines for us. recommendations for prostate cancer screening are changing dramatically right now. a key government panel is recommending that healthy men of

i'm going to try to sleep but you can't because it's like your stomach is hurting and it's cause it doesn't have any food in it. >> and it's like a black hole and sometimes when i don't eat, my stomach, you can hear it like it's like growling. you can hear it. >> usually, we eat macaroni or we don't -- or we drink water or tea. >> my mom will sometimes like make food and then she won't have enough. at night, we will just eat cereal or something. other times, my parents will fight about money because they don't have enough money to pay the food. >> while we are happy to report the situation for many of the children you just saw has improved, the reality is not quite the same. the national rate of child poverty has actually gotten worse. the people at sesame street rnow tackling this crisis with a prime time special called "growing hope against hunger." in that special you'll meet a new muppet named lily whose family has trouble getting

enough to eat and lily joins us. it's great to have both of you with us this morning. lily, we are excited to meet you! >> nice to meet you, too, miss erica. thank you for having us. >> this is a tough topic for not only grown-ups to talk about but for kids to talk about too. you wanted to talk about it. why? >> well, because one of the most important things for me was not feeling like i was alone and the more i got involved with my community and everything, the more i felt like not only that i was helping other families, but i was -- i just felt really important to give and reach out to people, so that is why i think it's important for us to let as kids. >> which is such a great message, lily. this is the importance, too, of tackling this topic and using kids like lily and other friends we know like elmo and grover to help do that. what struck you guys at sesame

workshop and thinking hunger is what we need to talk about? >> i think it's the striking statistics. 1 in 4 out of those children, 9.6 million are under the age of 6. so we knew we had to do something and make a difference. >> this is such a difficult thing for so many people. i mean, just having reported on the food crisis. i know when you go to a food pantry, there are people there who typically you wouldn't expect and the last thing they want to do is be on camera and tell their story because they feel in some way it's their fault and it's not. so how do you address that in the special to make kids understand that? >> i think just by having the special and seeing other families and children talking about this issue and also knowing that they can reach out to their community and know that they can get help. it also reduces the stigma and provides children much more safety and comfort. >> lily, this must have been really tough for your parents, because they always want to make sure that you feel safe and that you are comfortable and that you have everything you need. did they talk to you about why

sometimes it was hard to have enough food? >> well, yeah. i know it was hard for my dad, because, you know, when he got laid off, he felt bad, and so i kind of felt bad because he did. and my mom too, you know, she was trying to -- everybody was trying to, you know, be careful around everybody's feelings but they sat me down and like i said when we went to the food pantry and saw other people, it was okay. my friend amy was there and i was really surprised because a lot of times people don't talk about it. but once you start, then you realize you just feel better and people can find comfort in each other. >> and sometimes kids can be the best mess messengers for that. >> it's lessons to talk as a family and knowing by talking about it, you also have more comfort and less fears for children. so it's simply the ability to reach out and talk about it and

know that your community is offering some services. >> it is a great special and a great message for everyone whether they suffer from food insecurity or not on ways they can help. lily, nice to meet you and i hope you'll visit us again on "the early show." >> i would love that. it was really nice. >> thanks, lily. and dr. betancourt, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> the special airs this sunday night on pbs. you can check your local listings for details. there are tens of thousands of orphans in afghanistan after a decade of war there. cbs news correspondent mandy clark looks at one afghan woman who is trying to help them heal with art. >> reporter: roya is no regular art teacher and these kids are not regular students. everyone here has a personal story of loss in this ten-year conflict. the children are all orphans of war. this boy's father was a farmer who was shot and killed when he was caught in the cross-fire of taliban and american bullets.

24/7. >> happily ever after is a myth. you don't get to be happily ever after and, you know, i do tell people and in this book, there's a lot of women that said the reason i'm married 20, 30, 70 years is because i do not expect my partner to make me happy. so in a way it is lowering your expectations of the marriage, but higher or increasing your expectations of yourself. >> in some ways, isn't it keeping a focus on what drew you to your partner in the first place? because you were drawn to this person as an individual and you were an individual so maintaining that sense of self keeps you both interested in one another? >> well, it's so interesting. i did a piece for huffington post weddings on when to call the wedding off and there is some real fundamental things that people should look for before they get married and then they have a sense of what to go -- what will go the distance and it's trust and it's respect and physical attraction and emotional crackle is very important too. you do need to be attracted to

the person you marry because if you're not, after ten years or 20 years when you're sharing a mortgage, in-laws and a bathroom, you think you're going to invent sexual crackle at that point? no. >> if the spark is not there at the beginning, don't think that all of a sudden it will start. >> it's underrated. when young women come to me and say should i marry this person. i don't say does he come from a good family or what does he do. are you attracted to him? >> does he light your fire. >> you need to take time and do vacations on your own and have maep a best boyfriend but there is talk about is it okay to make out with someone else while you're married? >> i think -- oh, sorry! >> i love her. there is a woman in the book, erica, who is in her 70s, she has been married 44 years and she makes out in a red cadillac with her high school boyfriend maybe once a month. >> does her husband know? >> this book is called "the
