good morning. the northeast may need weeks to clean up from the damage from a powerful early snowstorm. electricity knocked out maryland all the way up to maine. one jetblue flight spent seven hours stuck on the tar mark. >> is there any way to get us towed to a gate or something? i don't care. take us anywhere. >> it is so bad in central massachusetts, halloween is on hold. we have more on the disaster for you this morning in a year that has been full of wild weather moments. herman cain tops another new poll but this morning the new front-runner is facing allegations of sexual harassment from his days as a lobbyist. charges his campaign flatly denies. we will have that story. and bob schieffer tells us why he confronted cain over a

campaign ad that features smoking. better than ya mrnie madoffn open up. >> i felt like my head exploded. i don't think if he told me he was an alien, i could have been more surprised. >> we have more of that interview for you this morning including what the family thinks of madoff today" early, this monday morning, october 31st, 2011. captioning funded by cbs good morning. i'm erica hill. >> i'm jeff glor in for chris wragge this morning. what happened over the weekend? >> i don't know. happy halloween. >> oh, a nice pumpkin. >> as my son said on saturday, a 5-year-old who was very excited about the snow. i love snow, mommy, but it's weird to have snow before halloween. >> it's weird to postpone

halloween but that is where we are. the snow has set records in the northeast and some areas got more than two feet of snow. the storm is now blamed for at least 11 deaths, mostly because of car accidents. some travelers experienced horrendous delays. how bad? we are talking 13 hours on an amtrak train and seven hours on one jetblue flight. >> unreal. close to 3 million homes and businesses still have no electricity this morning forcing widespread school closings and a state of emergency has been declared in new jersey, connecticut, massachusetts, and parts of new york state. cbs news national correspondent jim axelrod is in west milford, new jersey, where 19 inches fell. >> reporter: the only surprise is that what happened to megan fitzgerald sunday morning in new york didn't happen to more people. >> this tree wound up falling, breaking, and crushing the whole side of the house where my mother was sleeping. >> reporter: the snow came so early in the year, the trees still had leaves. weighing they will down and snapping branches which, in

turn, snapped power lines. >> never saw this before in my life. >> reporter: 750,000 customers are without power this morning in connecticut. a new record. more than 617,000 in new jersey and 200,000 plus in new york and 223,000 in pennsylvania and more than 29,000 outages in western maryland. records were set in new york city where 2.9 of snow fell in central park. they had never measured an inch here on any october day since 1869. concord, new hampshire, got 13.6 inches and broke a 59-year-old record. bristol, connecticut, 17 inches of snow and plainfield, massachusetts, more than 30 inches. 48 amtrak passengers bounded for boston stranded 13 hours overnight. in hartford, connecticut, 126 passengers got stuck on a jetblue plane on the tarmac for more than seven hours with no food, water, or bathrooms.

>> they are filled. you have to hold it. >> reporter: one air traffic control begged for assistance when the mood on the plane grew intense. >> i got a problem on the airplane. i need cops on board the airplane. >> we can't seem to get any help from our own company. i apologize for this but is there anything way you can get a tug and tow bar out here to us and get us towed to a gate or something? i don't care. my priority is a tug and a tow bar. if you just give me a welding shop, i'll be willing to make one myself. >> reporter: the chain saws were busy in west milformilford, new jersey, where peter and faith delanie got 19 inches of snow and lost 16 trees. 16 trees down and thousands of dollars in cost to probably get rid of this but are you feeling lucky in some sense? >> absolutely. didn't hit the house. that's all we care about. >> that jim axelrod. the storm was so bad in worcester, massachusetts, the

st city has postponed halloween and asking trick-or-treaters to postpone for a few days. sera congi is with us wbz-tv. >> tree limbs and power lines around me, there is so much debris on the sidewalks and streets and neighborhoods here in worcester the neighborhood decided to postpone trick or treating until thursday. a lot of surrounding communities in central massachusetts with doing the same. heavy, wet snow, 15 inches of it fell over the weekend and that brought down a lot of trees, trees that already had a lot of leaves, so it was very, very heavy and that, of course, brought down power lines as well. there are about 20,000 homes without power in the city of worcester. that's about 30% of the city. and power is not expected to be restored until mid week. this is a very tedious operation for the utility company.

so, again, the city and many communities, many municipalities decided to hold off on trick or treating because so dangerous for kids to be walking around the street in the darkness trying to dodge all of these tree limbs and power lines. they are waiting until thursday when all of that debris can be cleared away, when power should be back on. temperatures will be a lot warmer. we are expecting to see 60 degrees on thursday afternoon so hopefully a safer and happier halloween for the kids. live in worcester, i'm sera congi for the "the early show." the latest in big weatherys this year. coming up we will ask a scientist what is happening with all of this wild weather. from wild weather to politics. the latest in the presidential race where herman cain's campaign is rejecting a allegation that he was accused

of sexual harassment in the 1990s. jan crawford is in washington with the latest. >> reporter: that new poll coincide with cain's appearance this week on "face the nation" now he is a front-runner he is facing increased scrutiny especially when opponents ask if he would support abortion. bob schieffer gave mr. cain yesterday the opportunity to set the record straight. >> pro life from conception, period. i was that -- that piece that was pulled out was taken totally out of context when we were talking about -- >> so, in other words, you would not even believe in abortion if rape, incest, or the health of the mother was involved? >> correct. that is my position. >> that is your position? >> that is my position. >> reporter: a few missteps aside, the des moines register poll shows him edging out mitt romney for first place in iowa. >> my message is connected and

people are connecting with me and the specific solutions i'm putting on the table. >> reporter: another reason may be cain's unconventional style. he is not your typical politician because he isn't a politician. he admits when he doesn't know something. states like alabama that aren't part of the early calendar he visits and runs quirky, sometimes controversial, campaign ads. president obama's re-election team doesn't appear to be taking him seriously. on sunday, a top adviser kept his focus on onetime front-runner romney. >> you get the sense with mitt romney if he thought it was good to say the sky was green' grass was blue to win an election, he'd say it. >> reporter: the interesting thing about this iowa poll is how strong cain support appears to be and with some key groups. he has got the strongest backing among people who say they are very conservative, support the tea party or are born-again christians. >> i want to get the latest on this political article which came out last night, allegations

of inappropriate behavior antiof herman cain. what exactly are the allegations and how is he responding? >> reporter: well, the cain campaign is pushing back hard against these allegations. a campaign spokesman told me they aren't true and cain is being smeared because of his politics. the al gauges he engaged in improper conduct when he was head of the national restaurant association. we don't know who the accusers are. they say cain used improper language and physical gestures but there was no touching. cain was approached by jonathan martin of politico yesterday and said he would not comment. take a listen to that. >> i'm not going to comment about two -- you won't tell me who they are, okay? that's like negotiating -- i'm not going to -- i'm not going to comment on that. >> reporter: the campaign also released a statement saying, sadly, we have seen this movie played out before, a prominent conservative targeted by

liberals simply because they disagree with his politics. from that statement, it's not clear who they are referring to in the similar movie but i got to say, this reminds me of similar allegations that were levied just 20 years ago against justice clarence thomas who, of course, was accused of sexual harassment himself. cain has talked the past few months what he expects in this campaign, what he thinks he is going to encounter. he says he is read ready for the quote, high tech lynching that thomas received from the news media and the left. >> jan crawford, thanks. we bring in host of "face the nation" bob schieffer. nice to have you with us. >> thank you. >> jan said basically what we know this morning. what is the fallout, though, this morning in washington? because it's certainly getting a lot of attention in terms of headlines. >> well, the bottom line here is it's not so much what we know, but what we don't know here. these kinds of things have happened before. we had allegations like this in

'88 against gary hart. we had allegations against bill clinton when he ran for president involving paula jones and gennifer flowers. but in those cases, what started out as stories that came from anonymous sources, they were soon flushed out. we had names to go along with allegations. what we don't know here is who made these charges, exactly what the charges were. the cain campaign first said, well, they were just tired, old al gauglegations that had been settled amicably. then they put out statement that did not directly deny the charges but the spokesman for the campaign says, yes, our campaign means it is a denial. at this point, we have anonymous sources who have made certain allegations here. politico is a very reputable news organizations and this is not something that comes off the

top of somebody's head. they edit their stories. they don't publish unless they think something is correct. unless we get names and know more about this, i think this story will just sit there. i don't see it moving very much beyond where it is unless we get more details. >> they do say in the politico arguments they have seen documentation of one case. interesting to see if more details from that comes out. jan pointed out the cain campaign is saying it's political and he is being attacked of his conservative politics. you outlined a couple of examples are on the other side of the aisle. does this typically come down to politics or is it the fact when you're a politician you'll get hit with these things when you're running for office, whether or not it is founded? >> well, i always tell journalists and students, where news comes from, news comes out because somebody wants is out. this is not something that politico just made up. somebody has told a reporter from politico about these charges because they are going

after herman cain. they want to -- they want to give him a setback. but we don't know who that is. until we find out who these victims are and exactly what the charges are, it's very difficult to see this story going beyond where it is, it seems to me. >> still a lot of unanswered questions this morning. i want to switch now to something that happened yesterday morning on your show when it came to smoking and this video which has gone viral now from herman cain's campaign. we will take a quick look at that and then i want you to tell us about it. >> it is not funny to me. i am a cancer survivor like you. i don't think it serves the country well and this is an editorial opinion here to show somebody smoking a cigarette. you're the front-runner now and it seems to me as front-runner, you would have a responsibility not to take that kind of a tone in -- i would suggest that perhaps as a front-runner you'd

want to raise the level of the campaign. have you ever just thought of just saying to young people, don't smoke? 400,000 people in america die every year from smoking-related -- >> i will have no problem of saying that. >> then say it right now. >> young people of america, all people, do not smoke. it is hazardous and it's dangerous to your health. don't smoke. i've never smoked and i have encouraged people not to smoke. >> it's not a cool thing to do. >> it is not a cool thing to do. >> an important message from you there. how did he take it? you were sitting there with him on set. >> well, conversation afward, they sent word the guy who was seen smoking in that commercial doesn't encourage people to smoke. this is him. i just found it so bizarre and in this day and age that someone would be seen smoking. i mean, would you show a teenager, a drunk teenager driving a car? and i think that something like that sends a subliminal message.

i don't do that very often. i don't take positions during my interviews very often, but i just thought it was important. young people out there are watching and, you know, i started smoking -- i actually started chewing tobacco, to be quite frank, when i was 16 years old because i wanted to be a baseball player and all of the baseball players chewed tobacco. as a result of that, many years later, i came down with bladder cancer and i just think these candidates have a responsibility not to send that kind of message. he says he wasn't sending a message. the interesting thing was, though, when i said why don't you tell young people not to smoke, he just -- he came right out and said it, you know? i mean, i guess you have to give the man credit, he did answer the question, and i don't know. it's as i say, i don't do that kind of thing very often, but i just thought in this case, i just -- i did it.

>> well, a lot of people probably agree with you it was warranted. as we always say, when you ask the question, it gets an answer and it worked in this case, too. bob schieffer, nice to see you this morning. >> i was watching that live as it happened. bob laying down the hammer with herman cain. >> you couldn't turn away from it. >> absolutely! terrell brown is over at the news desk with other headlines. the taliban claiming responsibility for a deadly attack on u.n. offices in afghanistan this morning. a suicide car bomber struck a checkpoint in kandahar. the bomb killed four people. three civilians and a policemen. gunman seized control of several u.n. offices before being shot di dead. 17 people in kabul were killed including ten americans. officials today say the attack may have been carried out by the taliban's pakistan based haqqani network. saturday's bombing was the deadliest ground attack against

involved. there is more and more talk about that. a lot of cities with very tight budgets now having to pay for extra police, overtime. other services to monitor the gathering so break that down for you as well. >> cities and states have little money to begin with right now. more of "60 minutes" interview with ruth and andrew madoff. they explain as their family fell apart as a business built on lies. bernie madoff's wife and son talked about the day that he confessed to them. >> he called from the office and said, i'm coming home with the boys, i have something to talk about." he came in. we went into a room, the four of us, and he said, "i have a confession to make. i've been running a ponzi scheme." he said 50 billion dollars. >> he said everything i've been doing is all a big lie.

he said, "the business is a ponzi scheme and the firm is completely insolvent and i'm broke." then he just started sobbing. and i was -- i was shocked. i felt like my head exploded. i mean, i don't think if he had told me he was an alien, i could have been more surprised. he said that the firm had liabilities of $50 billion. it never occurred to me that his business had anything like that kind of -- anything like that under management. it was shocking. >> reporter: your mother, what was her reaction? >> she looked -- she looked shocked. she asked what is a ponzi scheme was her first question. she didn't even understand that. i think it was me who answered and said that it means that it's all fake, that dad, you know,

he's not been doing what he says he has been doing, and he followed that up and said, "yes, i've been lying to all of you. all of these years, i've listen lying to all of you. i've listen lying to myself." their son mark committed suicide years after that. >> reporter: why haven't awe for a divorce from this man? >> i don't know. it doesn't matter to me. he is going to die in prison. i certainly don't want to find another man these days. >> reporter: he'll probably see this interview. are you concerned about that? >> i was thinking about that. no, i'm not concerned. he should hear it. >> joining us now is "the new york times" senior financial writer diana henriques, the first journalist to interview bernie madoff in prison. >> she is the author of "the wizard of lies bernie madoff and

the death of trust." you heard from bernie madoff over the weekend in an e-mail. what did he say to you? >> i did. he confirmed ruth's account of what he called a feeble suicide attempt on that christmas eve. he said that they under took it in a state of deep depression, confirmed the details of it. and then said at the end of the very short note, "please understand how hard this is for me to admit." i said that is pure bernie. he can't admit failure really at anything and i think he had resisted telling anyone about the suicide attempt. even kind of brushing off an earlier question i had asked him well he said, "suicide crossed my mind." finally when ruth became public with it, he had to confirm it. but put a spin on it to say, well, it's very hard for me to knit this. >> ruth said something similar, didn't she? it was hard for her to admit as well. i'm sure it was. >> in my interview with her, she spoke about it fairly easily.

it was in the context of talking about the incredible pressure they were under in those first two weeks. you remember the media scrum outside the apartment. she was followed everywhere. there was hate mail. there was anti-semitic attacks on the internet. it was a horror for a woman who had spent her whole life as a fairly popular gal. >> yeah. . they were very popular within their circles and for a lot of their philanthropic work they had done. she broke down through much of the interview you had with her. not what we saw on morley safer's interview last night. i heard people saying she didn't come off very sympathetic. >> i was surprised when i saw that segment as well based on my interview with her. she certainly seemed far more human, far more sad, dignified, but in a way, very naive about the world. she's never done television

before. she would not be doing this now, but that andrew asked her to help promote this family biography. she has cultivated her privacy in seclusion for two and a half years, so certainly this is not her national median. i didn't really recognize that ruth as the woman i had spent more than three hours with. >> more hurtful for her the fact that bernie kept this fraud from her for 50 some odd years or however long it was. or that he kept his infidelities from her which went on for quite some time as well. >> i think it was sort of a final straw situation. she was stunned that he had lied to everybody else about what he was doing, but i don't think she really understood that. she -- >> the affair went on for how long? >> well, bernie denies that affair at all. the account that was in the memoir said it was a long

flirtation and a brief sexual affair in the mid '90s. but ruth was devastated by that. it was almost like the infidelities gave her the spine to do what she knew she needed to do to save her family, which was cut bernie off. >> which is what she has done. >> yes. >> they have not spoken since they spoke to him to tell him about the suicide of their son. what about andrew? what was he like with you? >> he was far more business-like. he did not lose his composure at all in the interview i did with him. he clearly is still immensely angry at his father. but seems to have a great confidence that when people hear his side of the story that they will believe in his innocence and that they will look at the family differently. i don't know that he is right in that fate. >> he says at the ends of the "60 minutes" interview he will never speak to his father again.

do you believe that? >> i do. there is a deep reservoir of anger. >> thank you, diana. you can see more at cbsnews.com. as the temperature falls, will the occupy protests fail? >> we will check in with some of the anti-wall street demonstrators downtown and see if they are ready for the long cold winter which could be ahead. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

♪ nice shot of the white stuff there in central park. over the past six weeks, the occupy wall street movement has spread to dozens of cities across the country. >> but over the blast of winter are they ready to stick it out through the snow and freezing temperatures? there is more on the way. correspondent debbye turner bell is in lower manhattan. good morning. >> good morning. >> reporter: over the weekend, mother nature staged her own protest with freezing temperatures and record-breaking october snow and that does raise the question how committed are these occupy wall street protesters? but there is another question -- can local city governments afford to pay the price tag that

goes along with expressing this basic american right? as the unseasonably early nor'easter hit new york. >> i can't talk. it's so cold. >> reporter: occupy wall street protesters hunkered down for a wet, raw night. >> the fact that people are staying out this in weather, i mind is amazing. >> reporter: but some wonder whether the protesters passion can stay hot in the new york city cold. >> the people that are really determined and i think really want to make a change that they believe in, i feel that it will -- they will stay. >> reporter: occupiers are convinced they can endure the test of time and temperature. but can city budgets handle the toss that come with the movement? the tab is adding up quickly, as cities provide police for crowd control and protection. firemen for emergencies and sanitation services to address the grouting amount of refuse.

>> this was not a predicted expense but, obviously, we will absorb it as best we can. democracy is expensive. >> reporter: new york city has reportedly spent $3.4 million on police overtime. boston has rung up a $2 million tab. atlanta, minneapolis, and phoenix have all spent over $200,000. >> when you're the capital of the world, you know, you're going to pay a little bit more because people are going to come here and express themselves. >> it is money well spent because it enables people to register their grievances about the government, about wall street, and about agregreed. >> reporter: it's a small price to pay for esther mack who took time off her teaching job in athens, georgia, for her cause. >> i want to change that so by being here, i hope to change that and have a better future for myself. >> reporter: as protesters brace for yet another frigid night, it remains to be seen whether their resilience can match their resolve.

the protesters, at least here in the northeast, are in for a long bone-chilling haul. forecasters are predicting a very cold winter. i spoke to a number of business owners in the community surroundings the park here and they are growing a little weary of the inconveniences of the protests. so many people and so much noise all the time and they even protesters using their restroom facilities. most of the restaurants around this park, there are signs on the doors that say restrooms are for customers only. i would say the welcoming is wearing a little thin here in the surroundings surrounding the zucati park. >> thanks. still ahead this morning, erica goes back to college! we will show you a have special homecoming. look at that! you look beautiful up there! >> oh, thanks, j.g. >> go terriers! oh boy...

andrew's decision to tell the fbi what his father had. justin timberlake stops by. his sci-fi thriller is called "in time." the time runs out when you turn 25, which means both of us are dead. you can bet time is not running out on his career, though. that is not true. j.t. -- i can't call him j.t. can i call him j.t.? >> sure. our ghosts are back, though, for "the early show." before we get to that, the latest on the snow cleanup in the northeast and plenty of cleanup to do. the weekend storm is blamed now for at least 11 deaths around the region. >> this morning, no power in close to 3 million homes and businesses from maryland to maine and cbs news correspondent jim axelrod is in west milford, new jersey, with more. 19 inches of snow there, jim? >> what a mess out here! let me tell you. it's not just here in west milford. power may not be restored until the end of the week in many

communities around the northeast. and the reason is because of these huge numbers of outages. let's, in fact, show you what the outages look like in some places in the northeast. 800,000 without power in connecticut. that's a new record. 600,000 without power in new jersey. 300,000 plus in new york. 250,000 in pennsylvania without power, and 11,000 in western maryland. why so many people without power? because the snow came so early, the leaves were still on the trees. so much snow on the trees snapping so many branches into so many powers lines. amazing snow totals. a lot of records set in october. another set of numbers to show you there. new york city got 20. inches of snow. concord, new hampshire, 13.6 inches and bristol, connecticut, 17 inches and plainfield, massachusetts, 30 inches! so as people start to get into

the cleanup in and around the northeast, i mean, look around behind me. the problem, of course, for a lot of people is the calendar. we are still 52 days away from the official start of winter. >> that's a nice thing to think about, jim. thanks very much. let's take a minute to look at the odd weather we have had this year. a record-breaking winter in the northeast with multiple snowstorms last season including that huge nor'easter and a blizzard. it was the deadliest year for tornadoes since 1936. tornadoes killed more than 500 people from alabama to missouri. springtime flooding on the mississippi river was some of the worst ever. this summer, we saw record droughts and wildfires in the south and west. then hurricane irene slammed the east coast followed by this weekend's rare october snowstorm. what is happening here? here to try to help us answer that question is m. sanjayan,

lead scientist of tfrom seattle. what is happening? you say a couple of things, right? >> right. so, jeff, there is probably two things going on. the first is it's a la nina year. the pacific is cold in terms of the ocean and that changes the air path around the continental united states. the second thing it probably is the effects of climate change and making the storms more intense and more frequent. >> and that will continue? >> well, you know, on the climate change side, absolutely, it's going to continue. so we are going to be in for more wacky weather, if you'd like. on the la nina front, we are not sure. we think there is another la nina this year. i, for one, i'm buying my ski passes already. >> we are seeing the pictures of snow right now. we saw this unusual snowfall total in many parts of the northeast, in some cases, more than two feet. are you expecting a lot of snow this season? can that be predicted? >> well, la nina years tend to bring snow, particularly to the

north part of the country. and particularly the northwest part of the country. but any one event is very difficult to predict. see, scientists are really good at thinking about climate, but they are not so good about thinking about weather, which is what most people ultimately care about, what are you going to dress your kids up in when they go out trick or treating tonight. >> we should differentiate here between climate and weather, two different things. >> sure. sure. two different things. you know, one is what are you going to do tomorrow? and the other is part of the country do you live in if you want to go skiing. climate is a long-term phenomenon and sets the expectation and normal and weather is what happens on a daily, weekly basis. how it impacts specific weather events, it's hard to say. >> what is the last time we saw la nina this significant? >> probably about five years ago. what is going to happen this year, which is sort of unusual with la nina, it might be a

back-to-back year of la nina and that back-to-back sort of sends that extra -- extra signal out there. >> other than carrying around the snow boots and gloves and everything else, anything else to be more prepared? >> be prepared and don't be caught off-guard. beyond that, groups are working to help communities prepare for unusual events and the best preparation, frankly, over the long term is dealing with creating natural infrastructure. sea grass beds intact coast lines and national area that can buffer us against extreme weather events. natural infrastructure will last longer and ultimately cheaper than any kind of engineering that we can do. >> m. sanjayan joining us from seattle, thank you very much.

appreciate your tichme. >> thank you. >> i love that. the difference between climate and weather. >> be like a storm for halloween or something. can you do that? clouds? is that possible? >> while you plan your costume, we will check in with terrell brown with a check of other headlines this morning. herman cain's campaign is denying reports he was accused of sexual harassment by at least two women. politico website reports that cain twice accused of sexual harassment when he was a lobbyist in 1990s. politico said the nondisclosure agreement was signed by the women for a five figure financial payout. yesterday, cain refused to comment on the story. >> i'm not going to comment on two women you won't tell me who they are, all right? that is like negotiating -- [ inaudible ] i'm not going to comment on that. >> cain's campaign issued a

statement saying they denied the report. they are trying to attack him in any way they can. sad willy, we have seen than this movie play out before. simply because they disagree with his politics. there was a deadly a attack this morning near the u.n. offices in kabul, afghanistan. a suicide bomber struck four people, three civilians and a policemen were killed. two gunmen took control of u.n. offices before they were killed. boeing announces today it's entering the space race and plans to lease the old shuttle hangar at the kennedy space center. the building used to house the space shuttles. boeing says it will use the building to rebuild cargo to the international space station. currently the u.s. relies on russia to transport supplies and crew to the space station. the deal is supposed to create

the "60 minutes" interview with bernie madoff's wife ruth and son andrew offer a look in their lifestyle. >> we will show you an extra clip of the interview that did not make it on tv on sunday when andrew talks about he and his brother told the fbi about their decision. >> reporter: your decision to turn them in, how did that evolve? >> well, we knew right away that this was -- that was our only course of action. we -- the two of us got in the elevator, went back down to the street. the driver was waiting out front of the building and said, you know, you guys need me to take you back to the office or where is the old man? and we said, you know, he is still upstairs. you're waiting for him and we just walked out. it was pouring rain outside. and we started to walk down

lexington avenue and try to get a taxi and got in a cab and weren't really sure where to go. we knew that we couldn't live with this information and not do something about it and we knew we needed to speak to an attorney and we knew that that was going to lead to us turning him in. but we didn't know how to do that, you know? knowing the right thing to do and then knowing how to do it were two totally different things and we needed help. luckily, we were able to turn to mark's father-in-law who is a litigator, paul weiss, and mark immediately called him and said, you know, we need to talk to you. it's urgent. and he invited us to come over to his apartment, which we did and we went straight there. >> reporter: what was his reaction? >> he was -- he was absolutely shocked. he is an investor. he had put his -- he mentioned he had put his retirement money there very recently and quickly sort of dismissed that as, you

know, not relevant and just please, you know, he just wanted to hear us -- hear what happened. we recounted the story and he couldn't believe it. you know, we were talking about whether or not we think -- was bernie sane? was he telling us the truth? was he making this up? and mark and i were both clear that he seemed to be clear-headed and that this was -- that this was real. >> reporter: you called the fbi or the lawyer called the fbi? >> it was later that day. marty london, who was a j who was helping us, mark's father-in-law, brought in some of his colleagues and we walked through the situation and they told us what the proper course of action was in terms of who to call and how this thing is handled, because we just didn't know that.

and we made the decision to make the phone call. >> reporter: when the fbi came in that morning, did you have any idea that your sons had turned -- >> no, i had no idea. i wasn't shocked in retrospect, but i had no idea. i don't think he did either, actually. >> reporter: what was your reaction when you heard him, that it was the boys who turned the father in? >> i realized they had to do it. i wasn't angry at them. of course, they had to do it. >> now earlier you heard ruth madoff say she didn't care what her husband's reaction to this interview would be. in her words, she said he should hear it. a reminder she has cut off contact with him. the last time they spoke was when her son committed suicide after that. you can hear more by logging on to cbsnews.com. one of the family conflicts there, the sons wanted mom to cut off contact right away.

she didn't. she finally did. it's sad. >> it is. just a wild story. >> the whole thing, yeah. ahead this morning, where exactly do you put 7 billion people? turns out, 7 billion people can fit in fairly small place, or one rather well-known metropolitan area here in the united states. mo rocca will tell us about the growing population of the world as of today. dawn power clean can give you the power of an overnight soak in just 5 minutes. [ sponge ] it's a scientific miracle! [ female announcer ] dawn does more. [ sponge ] so it's not a chore. well... 'cause i could pay a little at a time... that would work. actually we do -- the kids would just be like, "no way, awesome!" we -- we do! all that! layaway baby! [ male announcer ] layaway's back for christmas in our toys, electronics, and jewelry departments. that when you live in the fast lane, you need a mortgage lender who's just as fast and responsive. [ rob ] hi, i'm rob jones, and i'm a professional race car driver. as a former fighter pilot,

i like the fact that quicken loans offers va loans. i worked with a real person while doing everything online. it was the best of both worlds. their rates and fees were low, and their crew kept me updated through every step of the process. quicken loans is a lot like me -- we're both engineered to amaze.

the world's population we are told hits a big, round number today according to the u.n. as of today. there will be 7 billion people on earth and counting. >> that's a lot of people. the question, of course, do you celebrate? or do you start to get a little worried? correspondent mo rocca takes a closer look at the land mark figure and its implications. >> cheers. here are seven things that might surprise you about 7 billion. the world has never had more people. we are adding 80 million annually. that is a germany every year. but our rate of growth is on the

decline. >> it's gone from a peak of about five children per woman worldwide average in 1950 to about 2.5 children per woman now. >> reporter: in some countries the low birth rate may actually be a problem. in italy woman have on average 1.2 children well below replacement level. >> it means the population is aging rapidly. population aging means there will be fewer young people to support the elderly in their old age if the elderly retire, for example. >> reporter: so unless italians seriously reconsider their immigration policy or raise their retirement age, well, they better get busy. 7 billion isn't so much a space issue. if we all stood shoulder-to-shoulder we could fit. none of us has to go hungry. is there another food to feed all of these people? >> yes.

last year, the world grew about 2.3 billion metric tons of cereal grain and that amount of food could provide enough calories to feed between 9 billion and 11 billion people. >> reporter: problem is only 46% goes into human mouths. most of the rest to the animals, so many of us, me included, like eating. that is partly why 1 billion people go hungry every day. 7, 8, 9, 10 billion people would be much more sustainable if we were all vegans? >> certainly. >> it's not the number of people as the number of households. six people sharing one refrigerator consume less energy. >> what is wrong with this freezer? ow! >> reporter: if all of the single people in the world lived like the cast of "friends" we would be much better off. education is the biggest key to controlling the population. >> when young people are in school, they generally get

married at a later age. when they have been educated, they generally have fewer children in their whole lifetime. >> reporter: so not simply education about contraceptives. the desperately poor african nation of nijer unsustainable birth rate of 7.2 children we are woman. 7 billion is this a nightmare? >> for your viewers, not at all. for the billion chroniclely hungry, it's a nightmare every day. >> reporter: the final thing that may surprise you about 7 billion, during this piece, 900 people were born, 360 people died. the world just gained 540. >> an average of 7.2 children we are woman in nijer. >> i could not imagine. also we gained 540 people in that amount

♪ we're back on "the early show." it's a monday morning snow still on the grass at least here in new york city. i'm jeff glor, along with erica hill. chris wragge is off this morning. coming up we will check in with justin timberlake. he has movies, music and a whole lot more. >> that's right. >> and long stares. >> that's never an awkward moment when we make him stare into the camera like that. his latest movie is called "in

time" a sci-fi thriller and a bit of an action movie. a world where any money is replaced by time and a clock on their arm and see it counting down to their demise. >> once you turn 25? >> it kicks in when you turn 25 and when the clock starts winding down. we will talk about a few other things when we sits down with us hid. malcolm gladwell is a cultural phenomenon. >> he has combined three of best selling books into a single volume called -- he is talking that with us as is the news collection. >> the art work is cool, right? can we get a shot of that? >> this was important to you too. that there still be physical books, that they be a beautiful thing, that an experience beyond just the read. >> yeah, because we have been

moving in the direction of making everything digital and disposable. and i think it's important, at the same time, to remember that books can be beautiful objects and so, you know, we went out and got a world class ill straighter, brian ray, and a book glass designer paul sarah and i told them to create an object that people could value and could feel and enjoy and it's like five pounds. it's not insubstantial. >> i worked out with it this morning. you feel the guns? >> yeah. >> are you on kindle or put your books on kindle? >> we were going with books. right? they will be available in many different forms but i thought one of the forms should be something like that. >> win viewer said they feel smarter after reading your books. one thing definitely. whether or not you feel smarter, sometimes the way they make me think, i don't always feel smarter but not in a bad way but they do make you think and that is your goal. >> i like to think of myself as someone who is a conversation

starter, that these books are leading people to think about their world, rearrange their world in different ways and if they don't agree with me, that's fine, but i like to think that i've at least prompted them to have a conversation in a different way about something. >> you just worked on a review of the new steve jobs book. >> yes. >> the walter isaacson's book. what did you think of it? >> well, extraordinary book. jobs' life is absolutely amazing. and -- but at the end, you know, i found myself comparing him to his great contemporary, bill gates, and wondering whether we won't, 50, a hundred years from now when we have forgotten what an ipod is, we will remember gates because of his fill an

tl philanthropy. >> one of the -- jobs is a very complex character and in the book, it says many mean things about gates. he says a lot of mean things about a lot of people. he was a difficult man. that i think our -- it's the part of the book -- part of his story that made me take a step back and say, this guy was -- had many sides. >> he was brutal. he could be brutal. >> that assessment and that comparison between the two also plays into a theme that you have discussed which is understanding success and sort of our perception of what success truly is. >> yeah. absolutely. we will -- at the moment, because we are so infatuated with the apple objects, they are so beautiful. >> they are. >> that that is what is upper most in our mind but you can look at this issue in a different way and you can say, if bill gates cures malaria, that doesn't necessarily change

our lives, but it changes the lives of billions of people around the world. >> is there one point in particular over the years as you've brought up all of these different things for us to think about that seems to have resonated the most with people, that they may talk to the most about? >> funny. every book has a different thing that people facet on. in outliers, i would never have predicted it, it was the thing about 10,000 hours which people keep bringing up and, you know, i can sort of see why in retrospect but never thought about that when i wrote about it. >> if those who haven't read it, 10,000 hours the rule is you establish you put in the public consciousness if someone does something for 10,000 hours, essentially they become an expert at it. >> that is the necessary amount of practice to become truly expert in a given field, yes. no shortcuts, in other words. >> and in our understanding of success, we sometimes forgot those 10,000 hours. thank you for joining us.

>> we look at everything that comes in the future. malcolm gladwell, thank you very much. you can read an concept from "collected" at cbsnews.com. terrell brown is standing by at the news desk with other headlines we are following. a new survey finds more americans are growing more pessimistic about the economy and more worried about their own financial security. a poll by bankrate.com asked if their financial situation is better than now than 12 months ago. 17% said it is, down from 27% who said so in may. and just 11% of those surveyed said they are more comfortable with their savings now than they were a year ago. that's a new low. frightening incident in mexico's drug war. police chased two suspected drug cartel members into a shopping mall this weekend in cabo san lucas. shoppers fled as gunfire erupted. hundreds of shoppers and workers

were able to escape from the mall. police arrested the suspects and into one has hurt. a california surfer is recovering this morning after a weekend shark attack that happened near monterey. the surfer was paddling out to catch a wave when the great white shark struck. a fellow surfer said he was bitten on the arm and neck. >> he said call 911. i looked over and he was a couple of feet away from me and i could see his harm warm was bg pretty badly. >> the shark left a 19-inch bite mark o

a report out this morning, says many juice boxes have a lot more than just juice, like sugar and other additives. >> as michelle miller reports, it's an eye-opener for parents who think fruit juices are a healthy alternative to sugary soda. >> but you don't eat candy. >> reporter: like most mothers, jackie is worried about her daughter's diet and closely monitoring what she eats and drinks at home. >> i try to stick mostly with milk and water but had her first juice box at a play date and now attracted to them and ask for juice boxes. >> reporter: those juice boxes are not necessarily a healthy alternative. a new report from the red center for food policy found many

popular fruit drinks among children can have the same, if not more, sugar as a candy bar and many use artificial sweeteners. >> i think the companies really are misleading both the parents and their children, that they have these products, which are essentially water and sugar, and artificial sweeteners in many of them and they are trying to package them to look like they are juice. >> reporter: the report also found that companies specifically target young kids in advertisements to sell their products. ♪ >> wow! >> we definitely have been food shopping and, you know, going down an aisle and she'll say, i want the juice with the bears on it or i want the juice with big bird. >> reporter: in a statement, the american beverage association called the report, quote, another attack by known critics in an ongoing attempt to single out one product as the cause of obesity. adding, that soft drink advertising has dropped by 96%

since 2004 during children's program but the industry is still self-regulated and something dr. schwartz believes must change. >> i don't believe self-regulation is the answer. i think in some ways government regulation would be easier because it would guarantee a level playing field. >> which one is bigger? >> reporter: jackie royce knows she has to focus in on the fine print. >> i think you have to pay attention and look at the full ingredients to know what is in there. >> reporter: michelle miller, cbs news, new york. joining us now is nutrition keri glassman author of "the 0-2 diet." >> nice to see you. >> how much sugar is in some of these drinks? >> on average, fruit drinks, soda, caffeinated energy drinks have seven teaspoons of sugar in an 8-ounce serving and that equals about ten hershey kisses. we know when we eat a hershey kiss we are having a treat.

one of these sugary drinks, an 8-ounce serving a day can increase a child's obesity by 60%. >> pediatricians like yourself have clear guidelines. what are they? >> american heart association recommends no more than 15 grams of added sugar a day. and as far as fruit drinks go, 100% real juice is recommended. if you are going to have that. for infants, no juice is recommended. >> zero? >> for 1 to 6-year-olds, 4 to 6 ounces of 100% real juice. for 8 to 12 ounces a day for older children. kids are drinking two, three, four times this amount. 15 grams of added sugar adds up fast. two-thirds of these sugary drinks have at least that amount in one serving and then there is also added sugar in things like cereal and breads and crackers. >> when we are in the store, what are we looking for? can the labels be confusing to read at times?

>> they absolutely can especially when the fruit drinks say natural and contains vitamin c. make sure it's 100% juice and water is the best choice for hydration. avoid added sugars and artificial sweeteners and artificial flavoring. >> you mentioned water is what we should be looking at. what else? >> you can look at low fat and skim milk and water flavored without artificial sweetener and added sugar just with natural flavors, or a portion of 100% juice, or, obviously, just having a piece of fruit and a water is the best choice. >> squeezing the fruit. >> or taking a little bit of 100% juice and a couple of ounces and adding that to water. >> a little seltzer water? >> yes. so we don't have added sugars there. >> keri glassman, thank you. rare to see a chart topping singer to make the list to a-list actor but justin timber

lake seems to be the exception to most rules. he is adding action star to his impressive resume with his new sci-fi thriller "in time" he joins us in the studio. nobel prize to have you here this morning. >> i wrote that copy for you. >> you can add news writer to the list. >> humble. >> humble. >> humble is key. >> self-adoring. >> don't go too far. >> that was very kind. thank you. >> it's all true. not a bad thing. you always wanted to do, i read you always wanted to do an action film. >> i think -- i don't know that you sort of, you know, i got to put an action film on my resume. i will say every boyhood fantasy is in this movie for me. you flip cars around and, you know, kick the bad gouy's butt and kiss a nice girl. >> it's interesting, though. the whole premise to this movie is kind of interesting. i feel when you watch it, your

initial impression, it really does change throughout the film as to whether or not you think this is a good idea. without giving away too much, everybody has a clock that they wear on their arm. >> yes. >> specialty clock starts when you turn 25 so essentially everybody is frozen in time physically at 25. >> you're doing a fantastic job of it describing the movie! >> i want to set up the scene of people to see. >> allow knee to introduce my mother-in-law and my sister and my wife. i'll come find you later. >> i look forward to it. >> having fun mr. salas? >> please, call me will. >> it's okay, constantine. >> do you always have a hired hand next to you? >> no. i usually have two. >> sylvia becomes the hot girl you get to kiss. >> yes. >> she's a hot girl already.

as this clock starts, essentially depending on where you grow up, it means you're either living for a really long time and time means nothing, or you're living in time cases minute-to-minute. >> yes. when i first read the script, for the three days, i felt like i was asking myself a lot of personal questions just off the premise of, you know, just the concept itself. my character wakes up at 23 hours to live. if you only had 23 hours to live, you know, how would that affect, you know, how you lived your life? and like i said it's a lot of fun. but it does make you ask some really interesting questions. >> it also has an interesting social message to it too. not what would you do if you had one day left, but as we look at things like occupy wall street. this was written and done long before this movement but interesting social overtones here. how much did you guys talk about that onset? >> we have been talking about it lately because it is very serendipitous. i would agree with that. yeah, two sort of topical

themes. one being do we really want to stay young and live forever, and, two, it kind of -- there is definitely sort of metaphor cal, very rich and very poor social divide in this movie that, like you were saying, kind of serendipitously mirrors what is happening right now. >> your character has sort of a little bit of a robin hoodesque to him. >> yeah. >> in a way. sort of robin hood, plus bonnie and clyde in some scenes. >> absolutely. the second half of the film the movie takes sort of an interesting turn and it becomes kind of a we go on the run so it does kind of have a bonnie and clyde feel to it and a robin hood feel as well. >> it's definitely a thriller and a lot of fun to watch. i have to ask you more. we love you so much whenever you make a stop over at "snl." any more plans for that in your

near future that you know of? >> those things are so spur of the moment. i do love the show and i've been very vocal about my admiration for the show. i think it's probably the reason why i've been able to do, you know, work in comedies like "bad teachers" and i think that is a direct reflection of getting to basically make fun of myself he on "snl." >> it's worked out pretty well. what is next for you at this point? >> what is next for me? we are taking this "in time" thing on the road and after that, i probably am going to strap a snowboard to my feet and find some adventures. >> very nice. nice way to spend the holidays. >> yeah. the holidays are definitely creeping up. it's funny how they do that so quickly every year. so, yeah, just be getting some family time and hang out for the holidays. >> nice. great to have you with us. thanks for stopping by and good luck with you new movie. >> thank you.
