our correspondent, richard walker, is at the afd election event.e sent this report on what could be a very long night as we wait for those final results. >> over the past week, a lot of people were asking, could the afd turn out to be the salvation of this year's election? could they get into the bundestag? it is looking like there is a nearly sensation. for .9%, just very slightly under the 5% mark. %, just very slightly under the 5% mark. every time it looks more likely they are not quite going to make it -- and yet still it's quite an achievement for a party that only was founded this february, and only had a few months to pull that support together, much of it coming from the free democrats. there was a particularly big cheer when it came out that the fdp were going to get less votes than the afd. ae result is also somewhat of slap in the face for angela merkel. afdpeople who voted for the did so in part as a repudiation of her policies in the euro crisis. atthat was richard walker the alternatives for germany headquarters. we were talking abou

as two rescue workers help 60-year-old richard walker to safety after he plunged 50 feet. >> he was bleeding from the nose and the mouth pretty profusely. and gasping deeply. >> reporter: this morning, he's recovering at home after suffering a broken jaw and broken back. >> i feel very, very lucky to be alive. i don't remember the slip. i don't remember falling pip just remember waking up. >> reporter: he and his chiming partners had just summited the more than 14,000-foot peak. five minutes into their descent, walker slipped. >> i saw his feet up in the air, cart wheeling down. i heard his head hit the rock. and, uh -- it was horrific. >> reporter: emergency dispatchers gave wilder first aid instructions. but the pair were still out of the chopper's reach. >> it was very disheartening to see the helicopters fly away and realize that they probably would not get back. that was a difficult, lonely -- soul-searching time. >> reporter: they had no choice but to move down the mountain on foot. luckily, at that moment, another group of climbers showed up with equipment to inch walker closer to gro

richard besser. >> reporter: desiree walker only got the mammogram because it was free at her job. she was 38, 12 years younger than federal guidelines routinely recommend. without that mammogram? >> i wouldn't be here speaking with you today. >> reporter: a new harvard study adds fuel to the fire. the study says half of the breast cancer deaths were in women before age 50 and most never had a mammogram. they say mammograms before 50 could cut breast cancer deaths drastically. why don't national guidelines start younger? statistics? >> it appears that mammograms work better in women that are slightly older. younger women tend to have more aggressive cancers. the faster a cancer grows, the less likely it will be detected by mammography. >> reporter: those don't benefit as much as from early detection. there is another risk. >> one problem is having a false positive and having to have further tests, many of which are invasive. >> reporter: for people like desiree, even if you are under 40, you need to listen to your body, not to guidelines. if you feel a lump or breast discomfort, ge

walker's report. we turn to dr. richard davis who is director of neonatal care unit. doctor, you heard this report as well. when we hear 40% of babies born are african-american, but 70% don't make it, how can this be? is this a peculiar problem just to cleveland, or do you see this in chicago? >> every city, every state looked at has a large gap between birth outcomes between black and white infants. >> what do you attribute this to? where we live in a society where the medicare is so good, when babies have such a good chance of making it, how can this be? >> the problem is not what happens after the babies are born. the problem is that they're born so early and they need all that intensive care to survive, and many of them do survive, but more don't than we would like. so preventing prematurity is really the only way to solve this problem. >> is it clear that this is a racial divide? how do we know it's not a socio-economic question or environmental question, how do we know? >> i don't think it's either/or. i think it's a lot of things working at the same time. the d
