are. first as we do every morning we begin with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. >> i can affirm every day the rest of my term. wisconsin voters go to the polls for a historic election. >> democrats there are trying to force republican governor scott walker out of office. >> he angered workers after he stripped away their bargaining union rights. >> how goes america come november it's like a heavy weight boxing match. in this corner we've about got scott walker. in this corner we've got tom barrett and he's got you. that's who he's got. >> it's good to be back on broadway. >> the president had three fund-raisers with bill clinton in new york. >> in total expected to raise nearly $4 million. >> i don't think it's important to re-elect the president. i think it is essential to re-elect the president.

>> it was a night to remember for britain's queen elizabeth. tens of thousands of people packed london as part of her diamond jubilee celebration. >> hip, hip. >> hooray. >> hip, hip. >> hooray. >> hip, hip. >> hooray. >> 60 years on the throne. get that woman some of fiber. >> video shows the driver fell out of his seat, sending the bus on a wind ride before crashing into a house. some parents will tell you one baby doll should come with a bar of soap. >> she actually says the "b" word. >> [ bleep ]. >> all that -- >> thank god i had my depends on. >> -- and all that matters on "cbs this morning." >> crystal harris and hugh hefner, they're back together. she says, yes, i'm his number one girl again.

>> like they say if it's love, let it go. if they come back to you they probably ran out of money and you're a billionaire. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." we go straight to erica who's outside buckingham palace this morning. good morning. >> reporter: charlie. good morning to you. prince william and kate were there as was prince harry. prince fill was not. that's because last night just before the concert that happened here at buckingham palace, we learned that he was admitted to the hospital to be treated for a bladder infection. the queen carried on. after the service the queen moved on to a reception. about 250 guests there.

so we'll be watching that. and then she'll go onto a lunch before making her way back here. we mentioned the concert which happened just behind us last night outside of buckingham palace. what a show. some of britain's biggest music names performed as this jubilee concert. the crowd stretched all the way down to the huge boulevard that leads right up to buckingham palace. charl charlie d'agata spent last night there after jamming at the concert. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the concert was jubilicious. for all the excitement, there were some emotional moments too. for all the big acts to perform in the jubilee concert, it was the queen's silent expression after the finale that upstaged them all.

>> the sad thing about this evening is that my father couldn't be here with us because unfortunately he was taken unwell. >> reporter: prince philip, her husband she calls the rock was hospitalized with a bladder infection. >> ladies and gentlemen, if we shout loud enough, he might hear us in hospital. >> reporter: a woman not known foremotion seemed genuinely moved by the support to the tens of thousands who had tickets and the tens of thousands more who were on the wide boulevard that lead to the palace. and what a show it was. the artists and acts from kylie minogue to paul mccartney and

tom jones to elton john were especially chose p to stand many the 60 years of her reign. prince william and his wife kate shared the royal box with harry at the start of the concert. the queen arrived about a third of the way through, suitably dressed to keep out the cold and wearing yellow ear plugs to keep out at least some of the noise. her house, buckingham plarks not only served as a backdrop but a stage for the '80s list madhouse. the playlist seemed especially tailored to the queen too. stevie wonder changed a lyric or two to suit her majesty ♪ isn't she special, a young 86 years old ♪ >> reporter: following the show the diamond queen lit the

national beacon, the last that stretched across great britain and the globe, a tradition that is a sign of unity in the kingdom. at a concert that raised the roof at the buckingham palace and the massive fireworks display that followed. following last night's sell brarks more solemn moments following the memorial service. thousands more have gathered to witness the pageantry as the royal family passes by. >> charlie d'agata. thanks. let's head back to charlie rose in new york. it's a crucial day for voters in wisconsin. they must decide if governor scott walker should be thrown out of office. dean reynolds is in milwaukee where this is attracting national aten. dean, what are we expecting

today? what do the numbers show us as the voters go to the polls? >> well, we have seen polling, which shows consistently that scott walker is in the lead but uncomfortably in the lead, if you will. those polls show him between seven -- maybe as much as seven down to two points ahead of tom barrett, the milwaukee mayor. so the turnout will be the big key. and consider this, charlie, that in 2010 when walker won the first time the governorship, 2.1 million participated in that vote. now experts are telling us they're expecting as many as 2.8 million voters to take part. so the state is energized and polarized. >> and how much can you read into the results? republicans, because they w, th- believe they're going to win, have said that this has

nationally significant ramifications. but pollsters tell us that there is a group of voters who are going to stand with scott walker today but will also be standing with president obama in november. the people who are in that category basically don't believe that a governor should be recalled for policy differences. >> right. >> reporter: so they can be both for walker today but for obama in november. >> dean reynolds, thank you. a few days ago bill clinton said he was qualified to be president. last night bill plante reports the former president and current president were side by side and on the same page. good morning very good morning, charlie. this started out as a rocky relationship between the new pstart and the former c but they have grown to appreciate one another. in new york last night they appeared together, the two

biggest stars in the democratic party. >> it is good to be back on broadway. >> reporter: president obama shared the stamg and the spotlight with former president bill clinton, almost 12 years out of office, his reputation now bathed in nostalgia as he made the case for his fellow democrat. >> i don't think it's important to re-elect the president. i think it is essential to re-elect the president. >> reporter: making rounds of high-dollar fundraisers in new york, hard rocker bon jovi and others raised million s. things haven't always been so cordial. in 2008 when hillary clinton was battling then senator obama for the democratic nomination, their

relationship was tense. her husband, former president, repeatedly questioned obama's readiness to be president. >> when was the last time we voted on a president that had one year. >> reporter: it's settled into a marriage of convenience with hillary clinton's future in politics, bill clinton needs to be a friend to all democrats and president obama knows that clinton can reach out effectively to voters as he did in this recent campaign video talking about the president's decision to take out osama bin laden. >> i thought to myself, i hope that's the call i would have made. >> reporter: fund-raising monday, both men took turns hitting mitt romney. they at times forgot which romney they were targeting. >> you know, george romney -- wrong giechl mitt romney. >> reporter: there's more. the campaign has lined up clinton for a third major fund-raiser, and online they're

raveling off a differenter with the two presidents. does clinton sometimes get off message, sure, but team obama says we benefit any time he's out there. >> political director john dickerson. john, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> how important is bill clinton pre-election?obama's >> he's about as important as a surrogate can be for the election. he can't sway them but he can raise money, rally the troops and he has a natural political instincts which means he can coin a phrase or lay out an attack line the president never could and it's a thing that could get pass aid long from voter to voter. as bill mentioned, he's sort of bag st. bernard bounding around the political landscape saying what he wants and it's difficult for the obama team to quiet him down if he seems to be slightly off message.

>> two things he seems to be saying and i'd like your reaction on this is they ought to stop focusing on the past but focus on the future and lay out how obama in the next four years will be different in his election than he did in his four years. >> he basically said it out loud. stop attacking governor romney's past record and start talking about how ideologically these two match up. he said if do you that and tell people what the future will look like, how a future under mitt romney would be calamitous as bill clinton said, that's the pitch you'd make to voters. when he said that out loud, that's about as strong a memo you can put out there in the public. >> bill's instincts are about as good as any political party, aren't they? >> he would say that too.

you're causing a bit of a message problem by making story, particularly when bill clinton said that bain was, you know, not a company -- you couldn't say whether it was a bad company. that was a problem because it was yet another democrat saying that, and that just kind of put the story on that as opposed to other things the obama campaign wanted to talk about. >> let's take a look at wisconsin for a moment as dean reported. some people may want to read too much into it. what will you read into it if the governor is re-elected so to speak? >> well, i want to see what mitt romney does. i was speaking to the republican antitax advocate. he said romney should take the 20 campaign office walker opened and make them romney offices. go there and run hard there. we'll see if he does that. it's a battleground state. what's interesting for me is congress has been sort of a lab test for both parties. they can turn out the vote efforts in a way they haven't

been able to inny other state. what did they learn? were they able to target voters? use these new techniques they've fallen in love with? were they beneficial in this race? >> john dickerson, thank you. we now go back to erica in london. erica. >> reporter: charlie, thank you. the government is optimistic the cia has killed an al qaeda leader. officials in pakistan say ail lib al libi was inside a house that was hit. they do not know if he was killed. a decision by the countries to expel syrian diplomats. elizabeth palmer is in syria's damascus this morning. >> reporter: two of the armed rebel opposition groups have now said that they'd are no longer

going to abide by the terms of the u.n. peace plan because the government is not respecting the cease-fire. ominously one of them has called for concerted attacks on the capital damascus which has been, until now, relatively stable. in the online video posted by opposition activists over the last 48 hours, it does appear that the number of attacks against soldiers and their heavy equipment is on the increase. it's not clear what this is going to do to the united nations military observers. we were out with them this morning. they went to one of the suburbs of damascus that's seen heavy fighting and they did seem to be operating normally, but so far they have declined to comment officially on what is, in effect, a declaration of war. for "cbs this morning," i'm elizabeth palmer, in damascus. california voters face a major decision today whether the state should raise the cigarette tax by a dollar a pack.

it races a serious question about cigarettes and how the state government spends its money. as john blackstone reports the tobacco companies are feuding. >> reporter: even inside apartments. but prop 29 campaign has turned the vote into a squeaker by spending more than $40 million, most of it from tobacco companies philip morris and rchl j. reynolds. mark de k k-camilla was a polls. >> reporter: money raised gould to cancer research, not to help fix california's budget problem. keith park runs california's against wasteful taxes on no, on 29. >> not even a single dollar goes to reducing our gigantic budget deficit and helping our public

education. >> reporter: with donations across the country including tour de france winner lance armstrong and mayor michael bloomberg has raised just $12 million. only 12% of californians now smoke and the new tax would drive that even lower. >> smoke may slim barren as a public behavior. that's why philip morris and reynolds are to hysterical, trying to stop 29. it should really be a game changer. >> reporter: with an expected low voter turnout, california's few smokers could make all the difference on this cigarette tax. john blackstone, san francisco. it's time to show you some of the headlines from around the gloechblt the cia is planning to prepare to cut its work in iraq.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." erica's in london covering the diamond jubilee for us. erica, we just saw the queen get in the car. >> reporter: we did, charlie. she's making her way from the first reception swhemt to after the service of thanksgiving at st. paul's cathedral. she's now going to make her way to westminster hall where there's a lunch as we continue to watch the festivities honoring the queen on her diamond jubilee. there she goes. you see that behind us later on. that means the queen is in town basically. we're also going to show you a little bit more about how the next generation of royals is getting involved, not just the heir to the throne, prince

charles, of course, who made a lovely speech honoring his mother, but also prince william and kate, the duke and duchess of cambridge. kate, of course, wowing everyone once again in a stunning lace dress as she arrived at st. paul's cathedral. she was sitting in the front row next to her brother-in-law harry and of course her in-laws prince charles and camilla and the queen. we'll have all of that for you this morning. we'll have a look at where the royals are right now and how they say how the royals got their groove back. >> you never can get too much pageantry, huh? >> reporter: not in this case, i think. >> turning to news here, the transportation security adm administration is under fire this morning after reporting large security lapse in ft. myers, florida. dozens of tsa workers are accused of cutting corners and violating screening rules.

cheryl at >> reporter: 43 employees including a top supervisor have been fired or temporarily pulled off the job. every day nearly 2 million air travelers rely on the tsa to help keep the nation ee sky safe, but last year at southwest airport in ft. myers, officials say dozens of screeners failing to do their job. >> this is a big deal when five tsa screeners are fired and 38 are put on suspension, this is a huge dale. >> reporter: an internal investigation revealed in a two-month period, 43 workers didn't perform secondary checks after passengers went through security. >> the tsa admits themselves this is an important part of the screening process. >> reporter: the punishments were handed down last friday. in its statement, the tsa says

its disciplinary action reconfirms the strong safety to the public. john mica has written a letter demanding more answers. >> we need to find out who knew what when and why it took a year to take disciplinary action against these people. >> reporter: this is just the latest embarrassment for the tsa. last year in honolulu 43 were fire order suspended for not taking backs. in newark ten were punished for sleeping on the job and last month a man boarded a flight out of los angeles coming out of jail without a ticket before getting caught. >> this nonsense with tsa has to stop. >> reporter: to put the ft. myers incident in perspective, the tsa says while 400

passengers were not properly screened, another 4.3 million were. >> chersharyl attkisson, thank so much. john miller is with us. who's to plame here? >> i think it's straight-up issue. every airport has an fsd, a federal security director. that's who's in charge. that means everything from the perimeter fencing to the police operations and how that meshes with the buyer operations to the screeners, but most directly the screeners. and this is a clear instance where you have a federal security director who was not out there on the line looking. when i was there we had larry fetters, director of the l.a.x.

i couldn't go there day or night. he must have gone upstairs and slid down a pole. he was onny present. the screeners knew he was there. when they're not doing the secondary screening that's because they know the boss or director is not on the line. >> this is one more incident where they say they have to shake up the tsa. >> i don't want to put my federal hat on. this is kind of the curse of government which is if you ignore the scandals until they boil over, that's one consequence, on the other hand if you police yourself -- tsa got a tip. this is a good news/bad news thing. the good news is they cleaned up their own mess. the bad news is thonce it goes public, they take a beating. they got an audit. you can put people on the line to watch are they doing the secondary random, are they doing the targeting oned.

or you see the little bowls on the ceiling. there's cameras in there. they can aud it videotapes and look at hundreds and thousands of encounters. you have 3.8 million people who went through the airport. in the era of the underwear bomber where the only place you're going to find that is likely in secondary screening. >> this is a serious breach. >> yes. >> some thing they should privatize tsa. >> i don't think it would make much difference except that i think the amount of time that you retain the employers would be lower because private security doesn't keep people as long as government jobs, but in that case the kboft would end up doing the same thing. they would end up being the inspectors who watch on the line. >> thank you. >> thank you. jeb bush will be with us. we'll talk about the 2012 presidential race and other issues. now we go back to erica in

light of all this? >> how will it change? >> yeah. >> i don't mean in terms of what you just said. >> i think they have to, there's no question. i think it's a learning process they're going through now and because one single person has total and complete control, it's hard for people to adapt. >> david kirkpatrick. let's go to erica in london one more time before we go. >> reporter: something i want to point out that's rather not common i guess is the way to put it. it's happening 6:00 local time. the queen is going to speak to the nation. she speak at the christmas annual address. she does not come out and talk about the things that happen on a regular basis. we'll be looking at that later today. but it's been a great trip here, an incredible crew here in london and the folks we've brought with us. they have done us right, i
