at the imperial war museum in london, historians like alan wakefield say they have combed through the pictures and the diaries and the letters, and found not a single firsthand witness. >> if it happened, and there's very few collaborative accounts, of somebody hearing of a game going on somewhere, so i think something happened but it's probably more of just a big kick around. >> whether or not an actual soccer game took place here, is a matter of historic debate. but it almost doesn't matter. the game has become part of wartime mythology. if people think it happened, it happened. and there's one other outstanding question, the score. >> we know who won, the war yes, the game know. >> well, actually there are a couple of reports which are uncorroborated but it said it was something like 3-2 to the german. >> merry christmas. >> but again, why let the facts get in the way. >> mark phillips, cbs news, belgium. >> and that is the "cbs evening news" for tonight. i'm anne marie green, in new york. later on cbs, "60 minutes." for all of us here at cbs news, thanks for joining us and good ni

for the decline, it is a little counterintuitive, is that we get this information from cushman and wakefield and they track leased space. so if a bunch of office spaces goes offline for renovations or whatever and it's not being actively leased, it doesn't get counted. so that is why it went down. the 73,000 on page 106 is the correct figure that should be on. >> the 106 is correct. the 75.6 is -- >> was it was last year's. >> this is interesting, because as we look at the whole prop m issue it may be counterintuitivive, there is much office n construction that will come online and probably next year we'll see a big jump in the amount of office space that is actually in use. think we have to be aware. there has been a lot of conversions and a significant amount of office has been taken off within the last year or two reflective in your report. so it's a good thing to analyze as we go through discussion of prop m issues. and then everything is very good and, in fact i was surprised that the average wage was as high as it was $85,600 and we realize it's an average and there are people below an

police commissioner of new york city, and now president of risk management services at cushman & wakefieldcommercial real estate firm. we welcome you both to the program. raymond kelly, to you first, what are your thoughts, before i ask you about police practices in general, about what the president was saying today, the need for more community policing, that they are going to put money forward for 50,000 body cameras, they want to put restrictions on military-style equipment. how does all this come across the you? >> i generally support the president's position. i would only say about body cameras, i think they should be tested a little more. i think we should have pilot programs. 50,000 is a big number. it's clear cameras are meant to have police officers hesitate. if they hesitate from doing things they shouldn't be doing, that's a good thing. if they hesitate from doing things they should be, that obviously is not good. so i think we need more examination in the area of body cameras, but i support that -- the testing going forward. as far as the demilitarization of the police, i think

however, wakefield who has written about christmas during the great war says the truce wasn't so muchental act rather a necessary one. >> in winter 1914, weather conditions were really bad and trenches were collapsing and flooding and in the lead up to christmas, some units had been repairing their trench lines by having to get onto the battlefield to do the repair work and the germans were doing the same and nobody was firing at each other. the lead up to christmas, there was this sort of semitruce going on already where people were just trying to make their lives move comfortable. >> frattonizing was frowned upon. some even considered it an act of treason. images like these would not be repeated. >> it's a remarkable event and it could only have happened that early in the war. by 1915, there's more hatred and propaganda that poison gas have been used. so the animosity has grown. >> reporter: amid so much horror, it's possibly not surprising that we choose to magnify the humanity of one rare moment. max foster, cnn, london. >> in the u.k., queen elizabeth ii marked the holiday as she

the website and prices that we have documented are 40% to 70% lower than our competition through wakefield research really allows us to get our feet back under us. q 3 demonstrated that really well. >> it was a nice quarter. 7% increase or thereabouts. let's talk a little bit. we have been talking a lot today about how it was not such a great sort of shopping weekend but you just said that this was your best black friday ever. how does this holiday season stack up and how does it look over the next three or four weeks for you? >> it is really critical. this was our biggest traffic on black friday ever. traffic is one thing. business, we have 23 days of christmas to go. until that period of time is over the quarter is not done. the black friday was the beginning and we have a long way to go. we feel really good about the results over the four-day period wednesday through saturday. >> i'm just curious, harvey. someone buys a diamond from you, a $40,000 diamond, how does it get to them? do you ship it via fed ex and what is the insurance cost on that? apart from the idea that i'm not going to

at the imperial war museum in london historians like allan wakefield say the bitterness and hatred hass along, air ships are bombing london, germans sink the liner. actually created those sort of hatreds between the two forces. >> there are varying accounts of what happened here in the trenches along the front lines, some diaries say they heard calling from across no man's land saying basically, if you don't shoot, we won't either. it's unclear who stuck their heads up first, the british or the germans, but before long the troops were flooding out of the trenches on both sides of the line and moving through the wire into no man's land. pretty soon a ball appeared. the ball has become the symbol of the truce. it has pride of place on a new memorial in the old paddle field. it's kicked around and recommend radiotive school boy games with kids in appropriate uniform and just about appropriate age. and with the suitably bilingual version of silent night, just as it was sung by the opposing armies a hundred years ago, teams from the modern british and german armies squared off in what was c

former new york city police commissioner and president of risk management services of curbman and wakefieldanks for being with us. you have some pretty tough words directed at mayor de blasio. do you agree with the police union that the blood of the hands of these officers are on him and city hall? >> no, no, that's way over the top but i understand the emotions that generated that type of statement. you know, this is a police department that i think has transformed the city but we haven't seen anything like this, a cold-blooded killing of a police officer in uniform in a car for 25 years at least. when i was a police officer many years ago this was, unfortunately, not that rare an occurrence. but certainly this has had a very traumatic gut wrenching effect on the department. >> mr. commissioner, what do you think bill de blasio has done wrong? what do you think he could have done better? what do you think he needs to do in the future? >> i think my basic issue with mayor de blasio is false narrative he used in 2013 during his campaign. his position was that there was this schism, this huge
