tony scott. they're treating this case as a suicide. saying he jumped off the vincent thomas bridge yesterday in san pedro, california. his death take the entertainment industry and insiders by surprise. >> we use the word shocking all the time when we hear about these deaths. but to think of tony scott, brother of ridly scott, one of most prominent and successful directors we have jumping off a bridge is almost impossible to contemplate. >> scott directed many blockbusters like "top gun," "crimson tide." he also produced a number of films with his brother including this summer's movie. the next reality series is called "coma." according to box office mojo,ie in theaters. this morning, hollywood is taking this in this morning, taking to twitter to talk about their sadness over this news. >>> also a developing story in missouri. an investigation under way after a race car driver at the missouri state fair lost control and slammed into a fence in a pit area. five spectators were injured including t

> good evening, scott. i think new orleans is the destination and, you're right, atioc is getting stronger tonight. the very latest has it as a strong tropical storm, 70 miles per hour, moving northwest at 12. that slower movement is going to be critical over the next 48 hours. the forecast now is for a category two along the louisiana coast tuesday night or early wednesday morning and that would mean a 100 mile per hour storm. > pelley: what is the big problem here, david? problem is it the wind or the water? >> it's going to be a little bit of everything, i think, scott. especially if that movement to the northwest at 12 slows down even further. we're talking about storm surge, but we're also talking about incredible rainfall potential into wednesday, a lot of the lower mississippi river valley along the gulf coast could see eight to 12 inches of rain. where you see that white it's eot out of the question that we could see spots with as much as 20 inches of rain. of course, the coastal flooding will be a

we've had technical difficulties with scott budman. scott, what are the details here? a billion dollars on the line, sdplekt. >> yes. it's a big win for apple as we solve our technology problem in essentially what is a big problem for the biggest technology company settled very, very quickly. less than three days deliberation for the jury and the settlement very one-sided. samsung said to have violated several of apple's iphone and very specifically the home screen where you start when you use your samsung phones and your iphone. the damages, as you mentioned, raj, staggering, $1.05 billion that samsung was ordered to pay to apple because of the patent violations. on the other hand, apple found not to have violated any of samsung's patents. we look forward to a lot of disputes about this but we can tell you investors very happy and after-hour trading, apple shares reaching an all time high. >> scott budman reporting live from san jose. >> we hear an appeal is already in the works. >>> okay. jeff ranieri is in san francisco bay enjoying the boats out on the water. he jo

>> it's so interesting, scott.ook at the indicators, mitt romney ought to be running away with this race. most americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, the economy is sluggish, unemployment's high. but he's not. it's a dead heat, a nasty republican primary, a barrage of negative ads and, i must say, a gaffe or two along the way have taken their toll. fairly or unfairly the polls suggest that people just like the president more than they like mitt romney. republican senator lindsey graham told a breakfast here "we're getting killed on the personality race." that's why i think ann romney's speech here last night was so important. she wowed this convention with a speech aimed directly at women voters. it gave a whole new human side to romney. it's too soon to know the impact beyond this convention hall and romney still has to close the deal when he speaks to the convention tomorrow night. now, i've never been one to offered a vice, but thinking back on the response ann romney got last night, rom

scott and his big brother, ridley scott, battled for top billing in the family. ridley had hits like "gladiator." tony scott's death has stunned the industry. >> we use the word shocking all the time when we hear about these deaths. but to think of tony scott, broerp of ridley scott, one of the most prominent and successful directors we have jumping off a bridge is almost impossible to contemplate. >> twitter lit up with comments like this one from fellow director ron howard. no more tony scott movies. tragic day. casey wayans joins us from los angeles. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: hollywood really is struggling to absorb this news that one of its most acclaimed filmmakers has taken his own life. tony scott, the british born director and younger brother of ridley scott jumped to his death from a bridge in san pedro, california, just yesterday afternoon. he was 68 years old. and the los angeles county coroner's office tells cnm tn t death is being investigated. they also said a witness saw him jump off the bridge. tony scott is best known for directing

and, scott, someone very close to mitt romney said to me, "this speech is not so much about and, scott, someone very close to mitt romney said to me, "this speech is not so much about throwing red meat to the crowd inside here but reaching women in ohio, that key swing state. and we'll hear mitt romney really reaching out to disaffected democrats and independents. at one point he will deliver a stinging rebuke of obama saying, "you know there's something wrong with the kind of job he's done when, as president, when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him." >> pelley: norah, thank you. this afternoon, mitt romney ran into his running mate here, paul ryan, and essentially told ryan thanks for setting such a high bar for my speech. ryan brought the delegates to their feet last night with a sharp critique of the president's economic record. >> it began with the housing crisis they alone didn't cause. it ends with a housing crisis they didn't correct.

byron. >> reporter: well, scott, firefighters and deputies drove through neighborhoods here. they spoke on loud speakers. they gave clear and simple directions-- "you have 90 minutes. pack what you can and go." kim garmillion and her husband thought they were done running when they moved here from new orleans. they were wrong. >> i think it's crazy. we move here after katrina, and we're just praying that everything will be fine. >> reporter: isaac has already dumped more than 20 inches of rain along the gulf coast in three days, and it's still raining. today, mississippi's lake tangipahoa swelled beyond its banks. this lake is a 700-acre pool that feeds into rivers stretching more than 60 miles. authorities say they'll have to release some of its waters. it's the only way to save some 60,000 people from having their homes overtaken by floodwaters 17 feet deep. >> so if you have registered, please come inside. >> reporter: local shelters like this one in kentwood, louisiana, filled up quickly. cherrie gibson says she wasted little time getting here. you've got your clothes and

but to think of tony scott, brother of ridley scott, one of the most prominent and successful directors we have jumping off a bridge is almost impossible to contemplate. >> if you have seen "top gun", "crimson tide", you're familiar with his work. he produced a number of films with his brother, including the promethius, "coma" is set to appear next month on a&e. scott's movies as director and producer grossed more than $1.6 billion. robert rodriguez tweeting this, tony scott, great knowing you, buddy, thanks for the inspiration and advice encouragement and decades much great entertainment. a lot of people -- a lot of people very, very saddened by this. let's bring in roger friedman for parade.com. soledad? >> thank you, roger, are you there by phone? >> good morning. >> good morning to you. what a tragedy. >> it's a real tragedy because first of all, the scott brothers were very close and it's a terrible thing for ridley scott. they worked on a lot of projects together and had a company called scott free productions and they produced "the good wife" on tv and doing a lot of tv shows rec

in fact, scott brown is, you know, in favor of abortion rights. himself before anybody could really lodge a clear attack on him. >> thank you so much. we turn now to the potential risk of having paul ryan on the ticket if he's tied to an unpopular congress. will it drag down the romney/ryan ticket? that risk highlighted as part of nbc news/"wall street journal" poll. it's brand new, just released it shows congress with its highest disapproval rating ever. 82% of those surveyed disapprove of the job of congress, just 12% approve. joining me now, nbc news senior political editor mark murray. mark, even before this issue with congressman akin, we had this concern that congress is so unpopular, we know the president's squaring off against house republicans, and that essentially means paul ryan. >> that's right, tamron. we've known for the past year that congress has been pretty unpopular. what is striking in our poll is, though, that it actually has reached a bottom in the approval rating. just 12% of registered voters approve of congress' job. we hav

and, scott, more trouble is coming. close to two feet of rain could fall on mississippi by friday. >> pelley: mark strassmann in the storm. thank you, mark. all that rain that isaac is bringing will be welcomed farther north. have a look at this. parts of arkansas, missouri, illinois, and indiana are dealing with an extreme drought and that's exactly where the remnants of isaac are expected to be in the next few days. isaac is driving up the price of gasoline. the storm has all but shut down production in the gulf. gas was up five cents today to a nationwide average of $3.80 a gallon. here at the republican national convention it is paul ryan's big night as he accepts the nomination for vice president. the last republican member of the house to do that was william e. miller, barry goldwater's running mate in 1964. they lost. so norah o'donnell, ryan's speech tonight could help determine whether he becomes vice president or the answer to a trivia question. >> reporter: that's right, scott. a senior romney advisor tells m

>> possibly, scott. that's why you have to look, you know, one thing you can look at in this market with the volatility being so low, the vix down near historic low levels you can go out and buy puts at a very inexpensive price to protect against that pull back. no, i'm going to disagree there. i think the best case again is if bernanke comes out in jackson hole and says we're seeing enough signs that we don't need some sort of a bailout again, let the economy work out on its own, i think that would be the best case and then you can look, you want to talk sectors start looking at some of the construction names, u.s. focused construction names, that i think will start to move q4 and q1 of next year. >> wow. baker, so i mean bernanke can come out and say qe3 ain't coming, market goes higher? >> the other thing too, this rally we saw in the summer wasn't really broad. we were talking about the hedge fund performances, a lot of people missed it. a lot of people sitting on the sidelines waiting to get in. loo

whatever it takes to get what rick scott wants. mr.r is the resisting local elections official. he happens to be a republican. he told "the miami herald" that it is clear that rick scott is trying to intimidate him. but he said that the attempt is not working. he is not scared. that lone republican supervisor in south florida stands out, not just in florida, but in republican politics at large. i mean, the standard used to be that republicans supported the voting rights act. now texas republicans are openly calling for the repeal of the voting rights act in their state platform. this weekend in the same interview where he offered his theory about rape and pregnancy, congressman todd akin suggested that the states should be allowed to do whatever they want with elections. >> elections have historically always been a state thing. and i didn't realize how important or how good that was until we had that very close race, a second race with george bush, and you had something that goes wrong in florida, and i'm thinking, boy, it sure is good

captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: good evening. we're learning tonight that before last month's theater massacre in colorado, officials at the university of colorado invalidated the access key of james holmes so he could no longer enter the buildings of the medical school campus. that was part of what prosecutors revealed in a court hearing today that was attended by holmes. the prosecutors are asking the judge for holmes' records and e-mails from his time as a student at the university where he was studying for a ph.d. in neuroscience. they're hoping to establish a motive in the shooting that lled 12 and wounded 58 others. senior correspondent john miller is joining us. and, john, what else did we learn? >> reporter: well, scott, when prosecutors made their argument that these records are relevant to their case, they said some things we'd never heard before. they said the school records would detail how holmes failed his board exams, his withdrawal from the ph.d. program, that holmes made threats to the university of colorado cam

i think scott touched on this.rida senator marco rubio says he wants to make all olympic winners in terms of medals exempt from paying taxes on their prize. he doesn't want to punish people who succeed. the u.s. olympic committee pays you for winning, $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver, $10,000 for bronze. for winning a gold you are taxed about $9,000 for a bronze taxed about $3500, if you are a big star, not a big problem because you have endorsement money. if youing like danell leyva you get taxed $3500 you're not a big star, that's what the aim of this bill is to do. a little olympics. that's how we do. christina, now you can jump back in. >> nobody puts baby in the corner, raj. >> it's fun to see all of the coverage. thanks, raj. >> great stuff. >>you can always head out to nbcbayarea.com to find out which bay area athletes are competing and when. look up events and find all of those on line listening at nbcbayarea.com. >> time to check out the area. it's going to be nice, you and your gymnastics. >> if you w

>> reporter: well, scott, the conditions are far from ideal. the turkish government has spent more than $300 million trying to host these syrian refugees to the best of their ability but often these camps are very overcrowded. often there is no running water. there is limited electricity. and these refugees are often arriving with nothing but the clothing on their backs. so it's quite a desperate situation. >> pelley: now, the turks have talked about setting up some kind of a safe haven inside syria under the protection of turkey. now, how would that work? >> the idea is to try to isolate a small strip of land along the border that would be a safe haven for the millions of internally displaced syrians. but, of course, the main issue is who is going to protect the people inside that buffer zone? who is going to ensure that they can... the assad regime does not destroy... use its air assets to attack those people and the answer is that the international community would have to agree on some type of small-scale no-fly zone and at the moment it doe

host: scott helman, immigration issues. latinos are much more supportive of obama and mitt romney at this point in the campaign, according to a story that was in "the miami herald," immigration issues, the dream act, the economy -- the economy was the top 1 prius mitt romney going to appeal to that voting bloc? guest: that is what he is hoping, that they care more about the economy than anything else. this is something that mitt romney has changed his mind on, or least changed his tone. he was much more willing to accept a compromise solution on immigration. as he has courted the right wing of the republican party, he has taken a much harder line on illegal immigration, and in the primary, you remember him attacking rick perry and newt gingrich over their alleged softness on the issue. this is a really delicate thing for him, because hispanics are a very significant voting bloc. they favor the president. what he will do is say, look, the president promised to deliver on immigration reform and he has not done that in a big w

and, scott, that is something this economy has never done before. >> pelley: rebecca, thank you very much. because more jobs were created than expected, wall street took that as a good sign. the dow closed up 217 points, closing above 13,000. with 95 days to go before the election, we wondered about the president's job creation record. so have a look. the great recession was still on when president obama took office in january of '09. that month the economy lost more than 800,000 jobs-- grim days. and it continued to lose jobs for 13 more months. in march of 2010, jobs began to grow. there was another dip, but jobs have been created for 22 months in a row now. still, that growth is too modest to put a dent in the unemployment rate. jobs are the issue likely to decide the race for the white house, and we have two reports tonight. first, bill whitaker with the romney campaign in las vegas. bill. >> reporter: scott, governor mitt romney came to this city with one of the worst unemployment rates in the country-- 12.1%-- and last blasted president barack obama for today's jobs numbers. >>
