and another london wed being draws a big kroucrowd. this time, it's paul mccartney. we will tell you about his wedding and his new bride "early" this monday, october 10th, 2011. good monday morning to you. i'm erica hill. >> i'm jeff glor in for chris wragge this morning. also ahead here. you may have heard about a missing baby girl in missouri named lisa irwin. a lot of attention on her. this morning, thousands of other missing children, the cases are out of the public eye. for the victims and families, the pain is private. we will take a look at what it takes to get attention on other cases besides the ones you normally here about a lot.

we will focus on one missing boy maybe you haven't heard about. "occupant wall street," the protests began in new york city and now spread across the country to 25 majors cities. as those demonstrations grow, political leaders are now taking sides. bigad shaban is outside the protest that started it all in manhattan's wall street district. >> this is the epi center of what seems to have become a national movement and several hundred camped out protesters behind me are waking up to voice their frustration, over washington for what is now the 24th straight day. >> wall street got bowed out and we all got sold out! >> reporter: the drum beat of the "occupant wall street" protests is growing louder and wide from the streets of new york to the nation's capital to down south and out west. americans are frustrated and

making their voices heard. >> wealthy individuals who own giant corporations have bought off our congress and bought off our government and the people no longer have a voice any more. >> reporter: the marchers come from all walks of life, young and old, male and female, hoping that lawmakers are listening, including 38-year-old jesse lagreca. >> i think the message is obvious. the wealthiest is take this advantage of working class people and selling us faulty financial products and taking huge bonuses while depending on societies to bail them out. >> 99% of the people need to be prospering, not just the top 1%. >> reporter: michael mulgrew is president of the united corporation of teachers. >> everybody knows it's time to stop this and do things that allow all people to prosper. >> reporter: the protesters efforts have reached the race for the american president. >> to protest wall street and

bankers is say you're anti-capitalism. >> reporter: a movement has angered those on wall street. >> i think there is an overall paralysis in government and people get that and and it's vented in the wrong place. >> reporter: michael lewis has written about the economy and insists this protest could spark real change. >> you can change the world and the world changes. this is how it changes. now, whether this is the movement that will change the world, i can't tell you, but it does seem -- i think they have justice over the issue. >> reporter: while protest organizers acknowledge they have yet to come up with a consensus on their long-term ideas, they do agree on one thing, that is that they are not leaving any time soon. >> they are there for the long haul but criticism, though, while this is draining in support in terms of a movement there isn't a central message. do they have a cohesive unified message at this point? >> there are joblessness, there is concern over the economy but

i think where some of the uncertainty comes into play when you talk to protesters is how to take their frustration and turn it into a cult action especially when you have pretty powerful unions joining the mix. the one question is certainly whether or not they will take their efforts and turn it into a political movement. >> cbs' bigad, thanks. you may have seen in a "60 minutes" interview, jeffrey immet said americans should not oppose big corporations like ge. >> i want you to root for me. you know? everybody in germany routes to siemans and everybody in china roots for china south rail. i want everyone to say, win, ge. >> do you not sew see any reason that the public doesn't hold american corporation u.s. here in the highest -- >> i think this notion that it's the population of the u.s. against the big companies is just wrong.

>> and joining us now is former democratic senator russ feingold of wisconsin and created a committee called progressive united earlier this year. sir, good to have you here with us this morning. >> it's almost morning in wisconsin. >> it the sun will be up soon. thank you for getting up with us. you heard the interview talking about the notion in his words it's the population of the u.s. defense the big corporations is just wrong. who is wrong there? is it jeff immelt who doesn't have the right view or perhaps people protesting down on wall street? >> well, mr. immelt is not recognizing that you root for corporations when corporations are making sure your jobs stay here in the united states. his corporation has had more to do with shipping jobs overseas than almost any corporation in the world. and so the deal here is we root for corporations and we support them if they are fair to us. but these people who are protesting are recognizing that just about everything that has

happened to working people has been unfair in recent years. you have the greed on wall street. you have the very wealthy insisting they not contribute at all to solving our deficit and our debt problems. you have corporations buying up the political process through secret donations. people have had it. and it's time to say not we hate corporations, but people have to acknowledge the pain and the suffering that is going on throughout this country. >> a lot of people would acknowledge that pain and suffering and feeling it firsthand every single day. when people look at the "occupy wall street" protests support has grown over the weekend. is this the best way to go about making change? if it is, how do you turn the support into some sort of a movement? >> this is a great way to make change. i just don't understand what the protesters are saying. i'm not just pleased about it, i'm excited about it. a few yards from here some of the biggest protests in the history of this country occurred when the governor ripped away employees in wisconsin. we did it here and i think this

is going to happen all over the country because people have been kicked when they are down over and over again. you can only kick people so long before they react. this is time now for accountability and this is a good way to show people how strongly we feel the working people of this country have been treated very brutally and it has to change. >> herman cain saying it's un-american to protest capitalism. businesses have make money and if they can do a better job of making money overseas it's an unfortunate reality for americans but they are concerned about their bottom line. can there be some sort of common ground here? >> there is nothing more un-american than a person like mr. cain trying to intimidate people to exercise their right from protest and nothing more than american than peaceful prost. if people are hurt and can't get a job and students go to school five or six years and take out student loans and seeing they are getting no job and no opportunity and poom on wall street continue to get whatever

they want or not properly regulated that is time to protest. this is the time to protest. the most american thing you can do. >> russ feingold, thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. republican presidential race, religion was front and center over the weekend after supporter of candidate rick perry called mormonism a cult. not so subtle jab at mitt romney who is a mormon and reignites a debate from his 2008 presidential campaign. whit johnson has the latest from washington. >> reporter: mitt romney is trying to re-establish himself as the front-runner and rick perry has lost some of his initial momentum. it's the other candidates who have been forced for address it. >> i think that none of us should sit in judgment on somebody else's religion. >> we're not running for theologian in chief. we are runs for president of the united states of america. >> reporter: out of the great,

newt gingrich and herman crin were forced to answer questions about mormonism on "face the nation." >> do you think that mormons are christians? >> i believe they are christians based on their definition. >> reporter: robert jeffres introduced governor rick perry. >> he is a genuine follower of jesus christ. >> reporter: then explained to supporters afterwards why he didn't support front-runner mitt romney. >> i said in my estimation mormonism is a cult and it would give credence to a cult to have a mormon candidate. >> reporter: governor perry, who has fallen in recent polls, has said little about the controversy. leaving it to his fellow candidates like christian conservative michele bachmann. >> we don't have a test for people when they go into the white house. we do believe in tolerance and in liberty for all americans and that is where i stand. >> reporter: the issue has followed romney since his first run for president in 2008.

he attempted to quell concerns then with a speech on faith in america. >> let me assure you no authorities of my church or i in other church for that matter mr. influence influences on presidential decisions. >> reporter: people polled say most people they know would sprot for a mormon and fast forward, four years, much the same. >> poisonous language doesn't advance our cause. it's never softened a single heart nor changed a single mind. >> reporter: now it's interesting to note, pastor jeffress went on to say if he had to choose between mitt romney and president obama who is a christian, he would choose romney, no questions asked. >> whit johnson in washington, thanks. we want to get you the latest from libya the rebellion's final goal is out of reach this morning. that goal is moammar gadhafi's hometown of sirte.

the big question remains and that is where is gadhafi? cbs news correspondent allen pizzey is on the outskirts of the city for the late e- >> reporter: liberylibya's rules will get on with forming a proper government but it won't happen today. the fighting has slowlied to a murderous grind of street-to-street with gadhafi loyalists proving hard to dislaunch. what is called the revolutionary forces have won control over key areas in the center including this conference center of gadha gadhafi. the count was more than a dozen dead and a score wounded mainly by snipers and rocket propelled grenades lp lack of coordination and proper command structure continue to dog the revoluti revolutionarie revolutionari revolutionaries. no short of ammunition but the fighters organized answer only to themselves.

yesterday, one from the east and one from the west ended up shooting at each other. nonetheless national transitional council told a press conference that both sirte would fall by the end of the week. one of gadhafi's son is believed to be in sirte, the other in bani walid. >> translator: we are facing a lot of sniper fire. they also have rocket launches but we are surrounding them. god willing, the decisive hour for the battle is coming soon. >> reporter: soon is often used and very flexible time frame here, but when the decisive hour does come, no one doubts it will be bloody. anti-gadhafi forces holed up in the city have no reason to go and don't expect any mercy from their menemies which leaves the

option to fight until their death. we check in with terrell brown with more headlines. in egypt this morning, new fighting between christians and muslims. the fighting in downtown cairo started sunday night and triggered by an attack on a christian church in southern egypt. at least 24 people were killed. 200 have been wounded. dozens have been arrested. it's the worst violence since the uprising that ousted hosni mubarak in february. attorney general eric holder may be subpoenaed as congress investigates the fast and furious operation. it allowed more than 2,000 guns to cross into mexico. the idea was to take down a drug cartel. instead, weapons showed up at crime scenes in mexico and arizona. and in may, holder testified he had just recently learned about the operation but the chairman of the house oversight committee doesn't believe him. >> he answered before judiciary committee that he didn't know

about it until two weeks earlier. that is disingenuous on its face. >> reporter: holder was sent memos that mentioned fast and furious as early as july of 2010. holder says his testimony was, quote, truthful and accurate, that the briefing memos were actually read by his deputy who knew nothing of the gun-walking tactics. hurricane jova is headed toward mexico's west coast. now a category 3 storm with sustained winds up to 123 miles an hour. it will hit coastal cities by tomorrow afternoon. parts of drought-stricken texas, residents cleaning up after a fast-moving storm left thousands without power. >> my window broke, sent glass towards my bed. >> reporter: the twister ripped the roof off bobby hunter's house early sunday morning and tore a hole who used to be his

living room and sent his deck into his neighbor's yards. >> i've been in tornadoes before and i usually hear a train sound but i didn't hear that. just a big gust of wind. >> reporter: several homes were damage but no major damage reported. mail trucks tossed around like toys at this postal center. the storm's heavy rains also caused flash flooding. the water rose so fast that this woman and her daughter had to be rescued from their car. >> if anything happened to me, it would have been fine, as long as my daughter was okay. it's all that mattered. >> they will bring the tarp back on the field. >> reporter: near dallas, the wet weather interrupted the american league playoffs. game one on saturday between the texas rangers and the detroit tigers had to be stopped twice. game two last night was rained out. the storm brought some much-needed rain to texas, up to 5 inches fell over the weekend in some areas. san antonio set a record with 3 inches of rainfall on sunday alone. despite all of the rain, forecasters say the storm wasn't enough to put a dent in the state's historic drought.

>> we are starting to chip away but still technically in exceptional drought conditions. >> some areas received more rain in one day than they got all summer. an even more rain is expected next week. 16 min still to come this morning, thousands of children are reported missing every year. but you don't hear about all of them. so how do certain kids make it into the news and others don't? we will take a look. we are giving our old cars a

♪ welcome back to "the early show," everyone. it is monday morning. good morning. i'm jeff glor in for chris wragge, along with erica hill. >> nice to have you sitting up here, my friend. good to have you all with us at home. fascinating new details this morning on whitey bulger's life on the run. turns out for years, he almost never left that apartment building where he was finally arrested back in june. >> what did him in is a former vidal sassoon model and a cat. we will talk more about that coming up. also ahead, very few industries are showing very

strong growth but one of them is auto repair. the reason is the economy, of course. we will shoal you how millions of americans are turning to their local garage as opposed to the dealer to extend the lives of their vehicles and also save money while they do that. >> maybe a good lesson in our own personal finances. first, over the past week, an intense media focus on lisa irwin, the 10-month-old missouri girl who, according to her parents were taken by an intruder in their home in the middle of the night. there are thousands of missing other child cases that fail to capture national attention. cbs's susan mcginnis has more. >> reporter: 8-month-old jaden davis has never met his older brother joshua. he was born weeks after joshua disappeared after a family gathering in their home in texas. >> we picked the crib up and looked inside the dryer and seen no sign of him. >> reporter: police launched a massive search in the days

following josh out was's disappearance but joshua has yet to be found. once more, his family says they are frustrated by the amount of media coverage their story has received, especially when when compared to similar cases like that of missing missouri toddler lisa irwin. >> it kind of makes me mad eight months later into the case, we are barely getting national coverage. >> reporter: joshua's case isn't unique. of the thousands of missing reported children each year only a select few receive heightened coverage. >> the media looks first at whether the case is sensational, if there is an indication that a family member may be involved. media doesn't want to cover is it tit. >> reporter: police officials told cbs news they don't believe joshua's parents were involved in his disappearance. eight months after he went missing, joshua's family feels the case deserves more

attention. >> why don't we have that coverage? why hasn't our case been looked at the same way in? >> it's an innocent, helpless child that doesn't want nothing but to be home where he is loved. >> reporter: until new information is discovered, whether through police investigation or the media, little joshua's whereabouts will remain a mystery. susan mcginnis, cbs news, washington. every day in america, 2,000 children are reported missing. and the organization says 65% of the children abducted by a nonfamily member are minorities. >> with us this morning from san francisco is marc klaas, president of the klass kids foundation. his daughter polly was kidnapped and murdered in 1993. and here with us is grandbaby who is with an organization dedicated to find missing children. marc, any time a missing person but it happens more with children, there is criticism it's the missing white kids or missing white adults, specifically women, who tends to get the most attention.

how much validity is there to that and is it an accurate criticism? >> yes. no, absolutely inaccurate criticism but there are other kinds of biases as well. an age bias. certainly the younger kids get much more attention than the older kids and a gender bias. you see much more attention being paid to girls than you do to boys. >> we can continue that with gaetane. it's not a missing minority children. missing children in general. some get a lot of attention. >> some do get a lot of attention. when we talk about missing kids, we are talking about 40,000 kids a year go missing. that is a sizeable number that most people don't realize exists and there is disparity amongst different areas, whether it is, like marc said, age but race plays a factor. >> is it getting any better at all? >> it does not seem to be getting better but the attention to the cause seems to be picking up somewhat. >> marc, also this one to you, what is behind intense media

attention when a child or person has that attention? is it the work of the family? is it luck? >> i believe that -- a missing child needs a family member to be out there advocating on their behalf. there is nobody that can do this as well as a family member. so you basically have to get over your shyness, you have to get over any issues you may have with media and start working with them as much as you possibly can. if you can do that, and particularly local media. kidnappings are local events. if you can deal with the local media and you can get them on your side, you are going to get the attention for your child's case. >> that's the key. that's the key, getting the local media on your side. but for many, many families, getting that media on their side is harder said than done and it's harder for -- the lesson

is, listen. trust the police and hope they do a good job, but you got to work very closely with them. >> you have to work very closely with them and be mindful of the fact of how your child is listed as missing. are had he they listed as endangered run-away or missing? that is whether or not you will get the amber alert. >> a big difference in the way the public reacts to it? >> absolutely. when we look at children of color that go missing many are listed as endaengered run aways. they think children are apt to run away but that is the perception and it causes havoc. >> marc, do you think you're making progress? >> i do think progress is being made. i know where i live, in san francisco, it's a very diverse community. there was a little boy about a year ago, about a year and a half ago named hassani campbell, a little black boy, who received an enormous amount of attention.

just more recently in the bay area, there was a missing nursing student named michelle leigh, a vietnamese young lady and the only missing person anybody was talking about. in both of those cases, there were local advocate that were working on behalf of the kids. i don't know if either of them got that much attention but they got an enormous amount of local attention and i think that is really the key to any of these cases. >> and also i would like to add like felicia barnes who got a sizeable amount of media coverage. when we look at the amount of coverage she got to other missing local children it pales in comparison. >> thank you both very much. we do want to show you more photos of missing children. if you have any information about them contact the national center of missing and exploited children at 1-800--lost. a booming market for garages in this economy. >> take a look at people who are
