>> welcome to cbs "this morning." we begin with extremes in the presidential campaign. >> on thursday president obama and governor mitt romney and their running mates carried out more attacks on the campaign trail and hours later president equal candidates met face to face telling jokes about each other. jan crawford is with us in the studio. good morning. >> good morning. these candidates were here last night for the al smith dinner. that's a catholic charity event named for the former new york governor. i know you've been, charlie, to these dinners. a lot of white ties. this one is something of a big tradition. it goes back to world war ii. the candidates step off the campaign trail, put on their x tuxes and traded jokes. mitt romney went first trying out some self-deprecating humor.

>> usually when i get invited to gatherings like this it's to be a designated driver. in the spirit of "sesame street" the president's remarks tonight are brought to by the letter o and the number 16 trillion. >> and vice president. >> i was actually hoping the president would bring joe biden along this evening. because he'll laugh at anything. >> in less than three weeks voters in states like ohio, virginia and florida will decide this incredibly important election which begs the question, what are we doing here? >> the president also was often the butt of his own jokes. >> some of you may have noticed i had a lot more energy in our second debate. i was very well rested after the long nap i had in the first debate. >> behind the jokes the bitter fight between the two was clear. >> after my trip in 2008 i was

attacked as a celebrity because i was so popular with our allies overseas and i have to say i'm impressed how well governor romney has avoid the problem. >> mitt romney had some of the best jabs aimed at president and the press. >> when i pulled ahead in the major polls what was the headline, polls show obama leading from behind. and i've already seen early reports from tonight's dinner. headline, obama embraced by catholics. romney dines with rich people. >> on the campaign trail it was one punch after another from the number twos. with the race 18 days away and gallup daily tracking point giving romney a seven-point lead the obama campaign sharpened its attack. joe biden raised eyebrows on pawn ryan's book called "young gun."

>> they do believe, ryan has written a book called "young gun" with two other members of the house. republican leaders in the house. you had, unfortunately the bullets ran to you. >> ryan hit back, unleashing on the president. >> he's trying to disqualify his opponent with his sea of negativity. he's trying to distract this country. he's trying to divide this country. >> now, while he was here in new york appeared on the jon stewart show and that wasn't all jokes. he faced some tough questions about libya and republicans last night were jumping all over this exchange. >> i would say even you would admit it was not the optimal response at least to the american people as far as us all being on the same page. >> here's what i'll say. >> yeah. >> before americans get killed it's not optimal and we'll fix it. >> all of it. >> all of it. >> republicans are saying the

president's characterization of those killings as not optimal sounds weak and a president when talking about a terror attack that killed americans, charlie, should really be using much stronger, more forceful language. >> jan, thank you. and cbs news political director john dickerson is here. john, good morning. >> good morning. >> let's talk first about that gallup poll that shows mitt romney up seven points. does that suggest this race is heading in romney's direction? >> if you're mitt romney you love that number. something is moving in your direction. there's a lot of debate about that gallup daily tracking poll whether it lacks where the race really is. after the first debate, the gallup daily track still had it up for the president. there are also other criticisms about his likely voter, the way it looks at likely voter. it's a bit of an outlier from other polls. if you're mitt romney you should like it but we should be skeptical. >> aren't we looking closely on

what's going on in the battle ground states. there were two polls out last night, iowa and wisconsin two battle ground states which suggests obama still holds a lead in those two states. what about other states? is romney doing better in north carolina, florida, virginia? >> florida, colorado. he's doing better across the board in the battleground states. but in some places better than others and in florida and colorado those are the two big ones. rth carolina, some people, well in both parties basically think that it's done that it's gone to romney, his battleground map is shrinking. there's some evidence that wisconsin was doing better for romney, maybe coming back on the list. again being nervous about any of those polls coming out. now we have polls that show wisconsin with a lead for the president. >> john, charlie in new york. libya is getting a lot of attention. we saw that exchange on the jon stewart show last night. it's becoming the issue of the moment? >> it is becoming the issue of the moment. i talked to senior advisers in

the romney campaign about libya. after that debate in which governor romney had that exhaeng that didn't go so well for him on libya and they were going to press this about the president and whether he was telling the truth and misleading people. they said we have another debate coming up monday, in other words not going to talk about it in that week between the two debates. going to stick on the economy. so it's the issue of the moment because it's in the headlines but the romney campaign is not pushing it. >> why not? because they think there's no damage to be done the obama campaign? >> i think two things. one they think the biggeretter issue for them is on the economy and the argument you don't want four more years of barack obama and conventional wisdom in the press is romney lost the exchange in the debate with the president and, therefore, he's got a steeper hill to climb to try to make something of that issue. >> got a third presidential debate on monday, the one hosted

by bob schieffer. what do the candidates need to do? >> i think for mitt romney he needs to look presidential on the whole range of issues. what does that mean? that means he needs to understand the issues set across all the different issues from iran to libya to china. and just look like he's a man that can take the commander-in-chief role. the president needs to be able to kind of prosecute his argument about mitt romney which is he's playing politics with foreign policy but also show that he still has command of these issues, this crazy unpredictable world that you don't want to change course in mid-stream which is an argument that george bush made in 2004. >> we were just talking about the romney campaign. their thesis of the case is still as always has been the economy, the economy, the economy. are they right about that in terms of what the polls are telling? >> yes. i think they are right about that. now the question is how do you make that argument. the one that they've jumped on

recently is basically that the president doesn't have a plan for the next four years. and that's been their argument really for whether they are talking directly to women or making more broad economic case. but, yes, they are to discussion on the economy and i should add that the president has no plan for the deficit which is something you hear quite a lot about when you talk to voters. >> john dickerson, thank you. we'll see you in boca raton for the third debate next week. >> a second man has been charged in the alleged bomb plot against the federal reserve in new york. he was first arrested two months ago on child porn graphy charges. the family of the bomber denies he could have done it. he said he spent his life savings to send his son to the united states for college. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. how quazi nafis arrested in a terror plot after a sting seems like a mystery who thought they knew him.

that's true where he went to college. fbi agents are now examining possessions of nafis, collected from his new york apartment. the fbi affidavit states nafis claims to have connections to al qaeda overseas. investigators want to know whether if a nafis had accomplices. he face as life sentence. federal agents swooped on to southeast mess state university where nafis was enrolled as an international student this past friends. >> were any of your friends questioned by the fbi? >> i heard one of my friends. he used to live in the same house as he lived last semester. in the morning he was asked by the fbi some questions. >> reporter: another bangladesh student said nafis was a quiet devout muslim who never talked politics. but fbi agents said nafis tried recruit other people to form a terror cell. he never connected him to terror until his arrest.

>> how do you explain it? >> if something happened it happened in new york. not here. if he was manipulated by somebody, it was not here. hit to be outside. >> reporter: according to the heritage foundation of the 53 known islamist domestic terror plots foiled since 9/11 nafis is the second suspect in the u.s. on a student visa. >> as an international student did he poll the visa application to the letter? >> yes, de. >> reporter: ken dobbins said nafis left no impression here. >> and he was student for ours for one semester. he asked to leave the university and go to another institution in brooklyn. in july we transferred his record to homeland security saying he's not ours any more he's somebody els. >> reporter: fbi agents told the university president they don't believe the school was a target but with that said, they do

believe that nafis had grander ambitions, the destruction of new york's federal reserve bank and he hoped to ruin the american economy. >> google investors are watching wall street this morning. google shares took a nose dive thursday losing more than $60 a share. the fell off was so swear trading google stock was halted for much of the afternoon. rebecca jarvis is here. good morning. >> charlie, good morning. a disappointing earnings report is bad enough but having it accidentally released early is even worse. that's exactly what happened to google on thursday, the stock plunged as just about everyone including company executives were caught off guard. >> google shares have fallen off a cliff right now. >> it was a wall street stunner. >> i literally have no idea what happened with google. >> an earnings report from google released hours ahead of schedule. showing that the company's profits fell 20%. scrambling to figure out what

had happened, investors hit the exits. within just eight minutes the company's stock plummeted 9%. wiping out $24 billion in shareholder value. >> when it first happened, you know, we thought maybe there was some sort of fraud involved or, you know, something askew but it turned out someone had published results early. >> the company that prints google financial documents had accidentally filed the report almost four hours early. and during trading hours. in the report a quote from google's co-founder and ceo larry page was missing. in its place the words pending larry quote. page later apologized for the mess in a conference call with investors. >> i'm sorry for the scramble earlier today. as our printers have said they hit send on the release a bit early. he insisted despite the numbers google had a strong third quarter. by the time the "closing bell"

rang shares of google recovered a little ground. but still ended the day 8% lower as investors took issue with two weak points in the ill-timed report. sluggish ad sales and loss at google's recently acquired motorola unit. >> over the long term they can grow through it. but for the next few quarters it will continue to be a problem for them. >> what's going on here? >> mobile. we heard this. we even talked about this. everybody is beginning to access the internet from the palm of their hand on their smartphone on their tablet and google is still trying like facebook to figure out how to do advertising that pays the same amount online for the tablets and the smart phones as it does for the desk tops. it's definitely something that google is trying to figure out and it's a philosophical question as well as a technological question because once you work with that smaller space everyone has access to the

internet but it's harder to figure out how to put advertising in that space. >> google or facebook has not figured it out. >> they are still working on it. >> for the first time health officials found a deadly fungus in the deadly destroyed related to the outbreak. the steroids were supplied by a massachusetts pharmacy that's now being investigated for the contaminated injections. the death toll is now up to 20 in the meningitis outbreak. 24 cases have been reported in 16 states. doctors in birmingham, england report good news this morning for the teenage girl who was shot in pakistan last week for defying the taliban. the hospital held a news conference a few hours ago. >> reporter: doctors say malala yousufzai stood up for the first time this morning and making good progress. she is aware of her surroundings. she has some memory as to what

happened. one moment she was on a cool bus in pakistan the next she wakes up in a foreign country. the first thing she asked wanted to know which country she was in. right now doctors are to discussion on an infection along the bullet track. they say the bullet entered above her left eyebrow and exited below her lower jaw. at this early stage in terms of neurological stage doctors are hoping she can make a full recovery. she's aware of all the global media attention she's been getting and wants to thank everybody for their support. it is time now to show you some of this morning's headlines. the "new york times" reports a suspected leak on the attack on the american libya is walking around. the suspect spent two hours at a hotel. he says no one has questioned him and he has no plans to go

board of directors over the head and say listen i was proud of goldman sachs. i worked here for a long time. >> an op-ed resignation you hoped it would be a wake up call. >> i really did. because there are a lot of people that acknowledged these things internally but no one is willing to say publicly and my view is the only way you force people to change the system is by saying something publicly. >> at the time he left goldman sachs, greg smith was 33 years old and making roughly half a million dollars a year as a vice president a mid-level position in the division of goldman sachs that trades securities for hedge funds, pension funds and other big investors. he had been at the firm for about 12 years. he could hardly have script ad more dramatic exit. integrity is eroding he wrote in the "new york times" the environment now is as toxic and destructive as i've ever seen it. it makes me ill how callously people talk about ripping their clients off. >> this may be hard for people

rather claustophobia. >> you have to use a pressure suit. otherwise you're going to die. on just the thought of spending seven hours in the tube is pretty much a whole day that was freaking me out. it's not super sonic speed, it's not the height that was the problem. it was the suit. nobody anticipated that. >> a psychiatrist helped him deal with that but there was another adjustment. his attitude. >> at one point you had a reputation of a bit of a hot head. how have you changed? >> well i think i've changed a lot. you change with age. you become more quiet. maybe a little bit smarter. you have become more humble. >> even if you create the sonic boom heard around the world. >> this is the only super sonic boom created from a human person that exists in the whole world. >> what does it mean to you that

it's your boom. >> it's means a lot. >> jumping from the heavens is not about diving without fear, it means diving into it. norah that piece helped me understand what it was that he felix brought to this, living in that suit for that number of hours. and also being able to react within 40 seconds at that velocity. >> absolutely incredible. i liked that he said it's the only super sonic boom created by a human being and that puts him in the record books. >> and what he had seen with his eyes reminds you of the astronauts. i've seen something that very few people in the world have seen. >> truly incredible. charlie you'll like this story. meat balls, it is a trash loving bear with his own twitter page. well now his fundraising campaign is trying to build a new home for the big bruiser. we'll show you why people may love him too much.

debate on monday the one hosted by bob schieffer. >> mitt romney needs to look presidential and the president needs to be able to prosecute his argument about mitt romney which means he's playing politics. >> the alleged bomb plot against the federal reserve plot, his family denies he could have done it. fbi agents believe nafis had grander ambitions. >> greg smith walked away from goldman sachs telling the "new york times" the investment bank has turned toxic. >> this is the only super sonic boom created from a human person that exists in the whole world. >> what does it nene you to know it's your boom? >> it means a lot. >> they are not sexy. not the kinds of things -- >> you don't know what i find sexy. >> what are you doing? >> uma thurman reveals the name

of her child she gave birth to. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king in new york and norah o'donnell in washington. do you guys have the same fashion consultant? i didn't get the purple memo. we start with president obama and governor mitt romney. they go back to campaigning today after a short pause. >> that's right. they attended this catholic charity dinner last night in new york and both candidates took the opportunity to poke fun at themselves and one another. >> everyone please take your seats. otherwise clint eastwood will yell at them. this is the third time that governor romney and i have met recently. as some of you may have noticed i had a lot more energy in our second debate. i was very well rested after the nice long nap i had in the first

debate. >> of course i'm pleased that the president is here. we were chatting pleasantly this evening. as if tuesday night never happened. i was actually hoping the president would bring joe biden along this evening. because he'll laugh at anything. as president obama surveys the waldorf banquet room with everyone in white tie and finery you have to wonder what he's thinking. so little time. so much to redistribute. >> earlier today i went shopping at some stores in mid-town. i understand governor romney went shopping for some stores in mid-town. used to love walking through central park. love to go to old yankee stadium, the house that ruth built although he really did not build that. i hope everybody is aware of that. >> special admiration for the

apostle st. peter to whom it is said upon this rock i'll build my church. the story is more inspiring when you consider he had so many skeptics and scoffers who said if you have a church you didn't build that. >> less than three weeks voters in states like ohio, virginia and florida will decide this incredibly important election, which begs the question, what are we doing here? >> and don't be surprised if the president mentions this evening the monthly jobs report where there was a slight improvement in the numbers. he knows how to seize the moment this president and already has a compelling new campaign slogan, you're better off now than you were four weeks ago. >> employment rate is at its lowest level since i took office. i don't have a joke here. i just thought it would be useful to remind everybody the unemployment rate is at the lowest it's been since i took

office. >> tina brown is editor-in-chief of "newsweek" magazine and daily beast website. let me begin with this. this magazine, 80 years, "newsweek." does this say that "newsweek's" numbers and advertisers were not working out or it is a call for all magazines? >> we really do feel that we've reached a tipping point in this industry. you are seeing now -- you know we have 17 million tablets in the u.s. 10 million are coming out. there's sort of a seismic shift in terms of the sensibility of readers and really our advertisers and marketers have been the ones urging us to do this. i have more emails yesterday from advertisers in the market saying smart decision. it may take a minute to get it right. more than a minute. but you need the right direction. >> did you know that this was inevitable when you took over "newsweek" because there are people who said tina, suggested

it might not happened. >> two years ago this wouldn't have been the absolutely inevitable outcome this fast. but the fact is that the daily beast is enormously successful. we launched that four years ago. we had a 70% increase in traffic. and it's part of our international company which is 21 digital companies under one roof. but there was a feeling and knowledge that inside eventually we would become a digital company. the question was when. two years, three years, four years, five years. it depends on where magazines are. we took over a magazine that was dying and we had to revive it. when you combine the fact there's 43 million in cost and distributing and managing circulation. >> online? >> before you sell you have to spend $43 million when you remove that you can focus on content and focus on the cost of something people are reading. >> the appeal of magazines is

walking past the newsstand and seeing the cover. you're known for creating the most provocative covers to get people talking. did you see what tina was doing. can you create that online? >> the tablet cover will still be very much alive. frankly when we send out our cover, they are not getting the hard copy they are getting it on their tablet. by the time the magazine arrives three days in the story is published. >> are your saying it's no big deal. >> of course. it's been a big part of its history. the next 30 years are going to be about -- >> i'm not ready to let go of the hard copy. you say all the young people. there's 40, 50, 60, 70-year-olds. >> i look through those 40 and 50-year-olds. >> tina, it is iconic, of course not just "newsweek" and "time" magazine and these weekly magazines and i think about being at the grocery store and seeing these magazines.

life is changing. was it difficult for your personally to make this decision? >> extremely difficult. we spent the summer wrestling with it. very difficult. because a, you know, we're doing a great magazine and, you know, we put out just the most terrific content with the most terrific staff. the difficult part of it is when you go digital you have staff production. that part of it is painful. and everybody had to decide if this is the right business decision. >> just renewed yesterday his "newsweek" subscription. what happens to people who renew. >> we love our subscribers. we want them to transition. they will be given a chance to do so to be part the of the news digital "newsweek." we won't go digital until january so there's plenty of time to transition those read

towers the tablet and we very much want them course to come with us. >> how many people will lose their jobs? >> we don't have those numbers. you know, there will be reductions but we don't yet have those numbers. >> all right tina. good to see you. >> thank this weekend you can find dozens of hollywood most famous objects in one place. everything from judy garland's ruby red slippers, we remember those to marilyn monroe's white

last 100 years as well as future strains. the vaccine was created using computerized imaging from multiple flu strains and 50 canadian seniors have already tested the shot. the hope is the vaccine can be given once or twice in a patient's lifetime and yearly shots will become a thing of the past. the flu affects up 20% of the u.s. population yearly and unlike a regular cold it causes severe symptoms. 200,000 hospitalizations, up to 49 death as year. now if the universal vaccine is approved it could be available within seven years but this fall just roll up your sleeves like usual to fight the virus off all year. i'm dr. holly philippines. >> cbs health watch sponsored by subway. try the newest phenomenon from subway. subway, eat fresh. try the surprisingly low fat new subway tuscan chicken melt. subway. eat fresh.
