backlash. we'll tell you why this tuesday morning, november 22nd, 2011. captioning funded by cbs and good morning. i'm erica hill from a rather foggy new york city this morning. >> yeah. good morning, everyone. i'm jeff glor. >> what a lot going on in washington, or not going on as the case may be. the 12-member bipartisan super committee had months to make a deal. but they couldn't agree on how to cut more than $1 trillion in the federal deficit. >> some people calling this an epic failure. first, nancy cordes is on capitol hill with more. good morning, nancy. >> reporter: good morning, jeff and erica. it all ended with a one-page statement released from the members of the super committee last night after the markets closed. they said simply that they were disappointed that they could not

reach a bipartisan agreement. >> a last-ditch effort to negotiate was unsuccessful. having failed to even come close to meeting its mandate of identifying $1.2 trillion in deficit cuts. democratic senator and committee member john kerry called it a tragedy for the country. >> with the 12 of you locked in a room for months couldn't reach a deal, what hope is there that congress as a whole the caccel an issue that is so difficult? >> the american people will force congress to do this. i think this will be the centerpiece in the next election. i think congress's failure to do this underlines the rigidity of everything that's going on up here. >> republicans believe that the spending being much higher than it has historically been that we

need to restrain the spending and do so in a way that's pro growth, through tax reform in particular. and democrats believe that we ought to pay for the increased spending through much higher taxes. >> the president vowed to veto any attempt to undo the $1.2 trillion in automatic across the board spending cuts that will result in the super committee's failure. defense hawks are upset about the cut to the military, nearly 10% of the defense's budget. >> the only way the spending cuts will not take place is if congress gets back to work and agrees on a balanced plan to reduce the deficit by at least $1.2 trillion. >> the most immediate impact of the super committee's failure is that payroll tax cuts and an extension of unemployment benefits which were expected to be part of a deal are now set to expire at the end of next month. so congress is going to have to move quickly, erica, if they want to prevent a lapse in

benefits that many americans are counting on. >> we haven't seen them move quickly over the last few months. is there going to be enough time to get those extensions done? that's a great question. they're all gone this week for the thanksgiving holiday. when they come back, they likely will not be in a bargain. but they're only going to have a couple of weeks. congress likes to leaves around the middle of december if they can. they're going to have to figure out how to get together on this payroll tax cuts. congress must figure out a way to pay for it. >> nancy cordes for us on capitol hill, thanks. not surprisingly, the finger pointing began as soon as the negotiations collapsed. senior white house correspondent bill plante is at the white house with more on that. bill, before we get too much into the back and forth here, from a technical perspective, what does the white house do now? >> well, the president did what they intend to do. he came out and put the finger

on congress. he's trying to use public disgust over the gridlock as a lever. he threatened to veto any move to change the penalty for failure. he pushed the lawmakers to take care of those most urgent issues. the payroll tax cuts and unemployment benefits that expire at the end of this year. and he made the point that congress as a whole still has the year to make the cuts before the big penalties kick in. >> so, bill, does the political dynamic change here at all? >> well, the president is blaming republicans says saying they refused to listen to the voices of compromise. that's the play book here. senior official told me monday evening that the white house will have a laser focus, as he put it, on congress saying you can't go home without meeting your responsibility, saying that the question is are we going to cut taxes for the middle class? those are the same phrases that you've been hearing from here and that's what you continue to hear. the emphasize is on congress doing the job that they voted

for themselves to do and, of course, republicanes from this viewpoint are to blame. >> bill plantet white house, thanks so much. now back to erica. wall street was watching up a day of big losses. some wall street analysts say there is more than just the u.s. budget deficit and that failure of the super committee. joining us is mark zandi. always good to have you with us. a lot of what we're reading this morning says this isn't necessarily seen as a disaster for the markets. in in ways, it had been priced into the economy. but it is a significant warning. what is the warning that it is sending out? >> we have to address our fiscal problems. if we don't, global investors are going to have a problem with this. it's going to push stock prices down. it's going to affect the ability of businesses to create jobs. to me, what we lost here was a golden opportunity to really make some progress.

we're going to have month opportunities but not too many more. if we take one of those, we're going to lose our global opportunity. we really don't want that. >> when you say force change, what do you mean by that? >> like in europe, you can see in europe now investors are nervous about buying the bonds of italy, of spain, even countries like france. so interest rates are starting to raise. this is putting significant pressure on those governments to make large changes very quickly. they've lost control of their own fiscal situation and that's what will happen to us if we don't take these opportunities. we've got a lot more room, the economy is stronger, it's growing. we have a lot of opportunity. but at some point, we're going to have to take one of these opportunities and run with it. >> sure, but that room is not for very long. >> no. >> there have been suggestions this morning of there being a silver lining here, that it could actually force those tough cuts that frankly nobody wants to be responsible for. is that the up side?

>> that's a good point. under current law, if policymakers do nothing, then we are going to get another spending cuts, $1.2 trillion worth beginning in 2013. of course, the crux of the matter is will congress try to take that back next year and will they force the hand of the president to take some of that back? if they do, then this becomes a problem. but earn current law, if they stick to it, then yeah, we'll get those cuts. >> a lot of americans look at this as a sign of washington. 84% is the latest disapproval rate of congress in the latest cbs poll. looking ahead, how big is this window of potential opportunity to get things done in terms of the economy and the situation we're in right now? how soon does there have to be action? >> i think there has to be action between now and 2013 because that's when the automatic spending cuts kick in .also the bush tax cuts expire if he end of 2012. so everyone's tax rates are

going to rise in a significant way in 2013. so we need to make changes between now and then, otherwise, we could have a problem. >> i only have time for a yes or no. do you think it can happen? >> yeah, i do. i'm optimistic. >> we'll take it, mark. nice to have you with us. thanks. we want to turn our attention to egypt where the arab uprising has more in the fall. >> elizabeth palmer is in cairo with the latest. liz, good morning. >> good morning. well, this protest is picking up steam now. activists have called for a million man march today across the country. here in cairo, you can probably see tahrir square behind me. it's filling up with many thousands of people. day four of this uprising, small numbers of protesters skirmish

with police. in tahrir square itself, thousands of peaceful demonstrators from all political parties assembled around clear and common demand for democratic reform. >> we need to have a clear cut timetable. we need to have a president by april. we need to have a proper democracy in place and a proper system so that we know where we stand. >> overnight, the beat of anti-military chanting stills tahrir square. the crowds want to get rid of the generals running egypt. the military took power last february. some welcomed them back then. most tolerated them as caretakers until a government could be elected. the general ves lost all man credibility by maneuvering to

hang on to power. the protesters want the generals themselves gone and a firm date to elect a new president. now, jeff, we've just learned that three american students were arrested during the protests last night here in cairo. they were students at the american university here in the city. >> are they charged with anything right now, liz? >> reporter: it's hard to tell. state television last night said they had been arrested for throwing molitov cocktails and stones at the security forces. they're being held at the prosecutor's office at the moment. we may learn more details today about the nature of the charges. >> thanks. this morning, with penn state university still reeling against the sex abuse charges, officials are bringing in a pretty big name to find out exactly what happened and who knew about it. >> anna werner is in state college, pennsylvania, with more

on that. good morning to you. >> good morning, jeff. penn state's reputation has suffered as a result of this scandal. now the university is taking steps to try to reform that reputation by bringing in louis freeh, former fbi director. he will lead a time of ex prosecutors, former fbi agents and others to look into university's conduct leading up to this scandal, going back as far as 1975. >> this examination will include, among other things, any failures or gaps in the university's control environment, compliance programs and culture, which may have enabled the alleged misconduct to occur. >> penn state trustee kenneth frazier told reporters monday freeh was selected in part because he has no connections to the university and he will have free reign.

>> that means in any area of the university, not just the football program. no one is above scrutiny. >> the abuse allegations have rocked penn state and cost named football coach joe paterno and university president graham spanier their jobs. former assistant coach jerry sandusky is accused of moesting eight boys over an 15-year period. many of the incidents are alleged to have happened on the penn state campus. the campus itself was nearly deserted last night. most of the students have left for thanksgiving. but a few who remain say they're ready to move ahead. >> i hope through this investigation closure comes about and we can keep going ahead to what we've been fighting for. >> it's hopefully going to be like a time of healing for

everyone. like it's just been overwhelming. >> reporter: freeh says his investigation is already under way. as to how long that will take, there is no timetable, but he says the findings will be made public when they are complete. back to you. >> anna werner at penn state, thanks very much. we want to check in now with terrell brown with a check of the headlines we're following for you on this tuesday morning. >> good morning to you both. chaos broke out in south korea's parliament this morning. as the white powder spread, politicians had to cover their mouths. the opposition party lawmaker was forcibly dragged out of the chamber despite the commotion. parliament passed the long delayed trade bill. the university of uc davis's

champus chief of police has been suspended. yesterday witness, the university chancellor apologized to protesting students. they're calling on her to step down. >> if you think you don't want to be students in the university like we had on friday, i'm just telling you, i don't want to be the chancellor of the university we had on friday. >> the chancellor refuses to step down. students plan a campuswide strike next monday. west hollywood, california, is the nation's first fur free city. last night, it approved a law banning the sale of clothing on fur. flood water as high as car windshields raced through parts of arkansas. parts of the interstate were shut down. little rock got a record

breaking 6 inches of rain yesterday. more flooding is expected today as a severe line of still to come this morning, a thanksgiving day backlash. so many stores now opening thursday night at midnight or even earlier for black friday shoppers. but the people who have to work those hours, not so happy about it. and now they're trying to bring customers over to their side. >> who doesn't want to work at midnight on thanksgiving night? >> it would be a blast.

in the republican presidential race, the latest polls show anyone could win iowa, but there is one favorite in new hampshire. mitt romney has a commanding lead in that state's first in the nation primary which is now seven weeks away. but there is another republican rising in the polls. newt gingerich. john dickerson is in manchester, new hampshire, this morning with more. john, good to have you with us. newt gingerich is rising in the polls here. how much of a threat is he at this point? >> in new hampshire right now, it doesn't seem like he's much of a threat. the romney people say they haven't heard any footsteps from gingerich in their own assessment of things. this new poll shows romney is at 41%. he would love numbers that big across the country where he has almost half that support. and newt gingerich is at 14. that's up from 4%.

but that ties him with ron paul. so he's gaining, but he's still a long way off from mitt romney. >> and some other new polling results are interesting, especially when it comes to a potential matchup between mitt romney and president obama. >> that's right. mitt romney does very well -- or does better than any other republican against president obama and that is his key argument, which is that i'm the most electable, i do the best against president obama in new hampshire, but also in other swing states and that's really been his key argument all along. >> and so he has a new ad out in the state today which targets the president directly. as we mentioned, president obama headed to new hampshire. the obama camp has really gone at this as if mitt romney is the candidate, although he is not yet. so is that why mitt romney in turn is going after president obama instead of maybe some of the other candidates? >> that's right. all along, mitt romney has argued, i have the best argument for why i can turn around this economy, my business experience

allows me to have the skills to do that. and so he's always been attacking barack obama. and in this new ad, he does that and one of the arguments within the republican party is who is the best person who can take the fight to barack obama? and so with the president arriving here in new hampshire, mitt romney is showing that in this new ad. >> there's another debate tonight. this one is going to focus on national security. there's been a lot of talk about security, about foreign policy, as well, over the last few weeks. we see how things are changing yet again in egypt and libya, in syria. what are you expecting to hear tonight from the candidates? >> well, the key thing to look for this evening is how voters will look at these candidates and think about them in the oval office, in a pinch, how they might react to a crisis on national security. on that key romney/gingerich question, that's where the race is between those two.

both of those gentleman do very well in terms of who can handle a crisis. the question tonight is will voters be able to look at the candidates and imagine they the them in the oval office when that moment happens? >> what is the next important thing in the next few weeks until we get to iowa and new hampshire? what are these candidates going to be focusing on, the competent, president obama, or are they going to branch out? >> they can do both. they can beat up on president obama and the congress. they'll all be making the case that on the economy they have the special answer to how they can beat president obama. but they'll also be trying to lock in voters. as voters start to think about who has the attributes and qualities to actually be president. voters will have to after thanksgiving start to shift from this shopping period to start making more commitments. a lot of people are still soft, but they're going to start choosing their man or woman very soon. >> it could be interesting to

see how people break the rules at the family dinner table and talk about politics. john, as always, thanks. >> thanks, erica. it's been six months since a tornado devastated joplin, missouri. >> we're going to check in on its residents. you're watching "the early show" ear here on cbs. it's here! it's here! small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities. on november 26th you can make a huge impact by shopping small on small business saturday. one purchase. one purchase is all it takes. so, pick your favorite local business... and join the movement. i pledge to shop small at big top candy shop. allen's boots... at juno baby store. make the pledge to shop small. please. shop small on small business saturday.

to impress oscar voters as much as they are trying to impress you, the ticket buyer. we'll take a look another what you can expect between now and new year's day. if you're lucky enough to have a long weekend, hit the movies. >> now those people hate me. >> what? shopping? >> welcome back to "the early sho show". i'm erica hill along with jeff glor. chris is off this morning. first, more people are getting the chance to criticize britain's tabloids. >> this is one day after the parents of a murdered girl told just how low those papers would go. it was heart wrench b testimony. charlie is live with the latest on that. >> good morning to you, erica. it was what those papers did to get the story of the murdered girl that prompted what was going to be a long inquiry with allegations of break-ins, eavesdropping, anything to get the scoop. >> this morning, a long list of

celebrities stepped up to get into the british press. he called britain's media empire a protection empire. other stars are looking to turn the tables on the tabloids. the most explosive testimony so far has come from hacking victim and sworn enemy of the illegal practice, actor hugh grant. >> it is positively fine to hate me. i have become very acan you custom to that. >> what he doesn't expect, he says, is the ruthless invasion of privacy, like harassing his former girlfriend when she was pregnant with his child. >> they followed her around. she is a single pregnant woman and she was being tailed by paparazzi, one in particular who frightened her a lot. over the months of her pregnancy. >> he said the paparazzi on the hunt were the kind who doctored photos afterwards. >> i would suspect they were the ones who always tried to take pictures up girl's skirts and

digitally remove their underwear because they can sell the picture for a lot more if they do that. >> hacking at the paper spurred david cameron to call into an investigation of media ethics. the revelation that hackers had tapped into and erased voice mails of a murdered girl brought an uprising. >> i don't find hacking a phone of a murdered school girl loveable, i find that cowardly and bullying and shocking. >> it's worth noting it's not just murdoch's newspapers in the spotlight. victims say other papers have hacked into their voice mails, too. otherwise they wouldn't have not able to get the information they had. this morning, those papers denied any wrongdoing. jeff. >> tharlly, thanks so much. meanwhile, here in the u.s.,

the penn state sexual scandal is bringing new attention to the issue of campus crime and how sexual attacks can often go unpunished. >> the university's reputation is on the line, often officials decide the school is more important than the victim. debbie turner bell has more. >> laura dunn is a thriving first year law couldn't now, but seven years ago as a freshman at the university of wisconsin, she alleges that she was attacked by two male classmates after a night of hard partying. >> i just shut down. it took me two days to even cry after it happened, to realize that i had lost something, that something had been taken from me. >> it took dunn nearly two years to report her attack. >> when you finally decided to report the attack, what happened? >> i went to the dean of students at my university. at first, they were very helpful, they were very sympathetic, but the more it went through the process, i the more i realized they were truly not on my side. they blamed me and they wanted the problem to go away.

>> in a statement to cbs news, the university of wisconsin said, in part, we encourage reporting. we publicize the number of reports we receive each year. it is our ultimate goal to create a safe and respectful campus community, free from sexual and dating violence. >> college campuses are not the ivory tower that they're believed to be. >> victims advocate alison case says frequently there is what is called a culture on university campuses the. there are a lot of times where victims of sexual assault on college campuses or survivors don't get the justice they deserve. >> so when crime happens on school grounds, whether a sexual assault or incidents like the alleged sex abuse scandal at penn state, victims like dunn argue colleges often coordinate an effort to cover it up. >> it made me realize that things haven't changed, the universities are protecting their own, programs are denying that sometimes their athletes or in this case their coaches are committing pretty heinous crimes and it's scary. >> reporter: many believe all

too often, colleges are more concerned with their reputation than a victim's justice. and because schools have their own campus security, many crimes are never reported to outside law n. >> reporter: and it's been a huge problem for a very long time, the fact that universities have their own police departments in a sense that can provide some degree of protection, of course, but they also provide insulation against real world oversight and accountability for crimes on campus. >> as for dunn, but the time the university finished its investigation, her alleged attackers had already graduated. no charges were ever filed. >> and at the end of it, they ultimately decided that they wouldn't even pursue an action against the individual i reported that had assaulted me. >> alison kiss says the high profile penn state scandal, while tragic, may finally be giving campus crime the attention it deserves. >> something i hope comes out of this is we'll see some division

one male athletes or coaches stand up and say, hey, this isn't right, this shoonts be happening and we're going to speak out against this. unless that happened, i don't think this problem will go away. >> deb beer turner, cbs news, baltimore, maryland. >> experts say colleges use time against victims by dragging out the investigation in hopes that the accuser or accused will leave the school or graduate. >> and what happens is that's no longer the school's problem and in part, that's what happened in laura dunn's case. the deficit reduction super committee has failed and disbanded. automatic spending cuts are scheduled to kick in starting in 2013. president obama says he'll veto any attempt to undo the automatic cuts. long-term employment benefits will expire if congress does not act. earlier, mark zan did i told erica this kind of russian roulette will spook overseas

grains we have here this morning. >> it is, actually. >> so we should mention, also, we eat fiber not just to prevent cancer, by the way. >> sure. there are many other benefits. probably the most proven is weight loss. even though a lot of us are cash adverse these days, it's really a good thing in terms of weight loss. it fills you up more quickly and you eat less. it lowers your cholesterol and controls your blood sugar, both of which will control your risk for heart disease. >> so many reasons to increase it. one of the other reasons is because we're hearing that we actually aren't getting enough. so to get all these benefits, how much should we be eating every day? >> right now, the average adult only gets 15 grams a day. women need to aim for more liej 25 grams of fiber a day. that's about what you would get in one of these bowls of cereal. >> these are high fiber cereal. >> yes. and whole grains is one of the first ingredients on the list. so that is one of the things you're looking for.

think it would be very similar to how it was when we were growing up, but, you know, with the addition of a few alcoholic beverages and maybe a slightly later bedtime. >> that was pretty much all you add to it, right? joining us now, jeffrey kluger, he wrote a book called "the sibling effect" which is a fascinating book at how brothers and sisters interact. >> good morning. >> is it like we never left? >> absolutely. we may have grown up, but keep in mind, the foundations for those relationships, like the foundation of a building, were poured 30 and 40 years ago. you may build on top of it. your life circumstances may change, but you are the same people that you were many years ago and when you're together, those old dramas will get played out. >> how much of the person that you are and the relationship you have with your siblings is determined by your birth order or by your development?

>> birth order is a huge factor. this is one of the things that lay people, all of us, came to this order even before experts did. middle sibs tend to have to fight for attention more. the older sibs tend to be more striving and the youngest tend to be the most wild, the charming and disarming and charismatic. those patterns do hold and there are ways that kids work to maximize the power of their positions. >> they almost always hold these patterns. >> it is incredible. >> it's uncanny. does it change when you're talking about twins and triplets? >> twins and triplets are the mystical part of the sibling paring. identical twins particularly are are very, very powerful in their sympatimilarit similarity. in part because they come into the world with identical behavioral templates. their operating system is exactly the same. as a result, if one child is a

thrill seeker, the other is inclined to be. if one child tends to be more conservative, the other will tend to beb as well. >> as a parent, i don't think you ever want one child to feel that you prefer them over another. >> right. >> so how do you, as a parent, help in the development of each of your children, no matter where they fall in that birth order and no matter how true they are to those stereotypes? >> that's a really good question. and the fact is, and you alluded to this a little bit, favoritism is a very powerful, very real and unavoidable phenomenon. parents tilt more towards one child than the other. the key is that kids need to feel favored in one domain or another. so if dad is an ex jock and his oldest son is a football mrafr and he adores his oldest son, maybe the same boy drives him crazy when he's sitting down to have a conversation with him. dad may then want to spend more time with his younger daughter who is more thoughtful and more

reflective and academic. over the course of a childhood, the son may have still by the favorite, but not by much and the younger daughter still feels like in certain domains, i have dad's princess. >> you have to be mindful of that. this is a good thing that comes with getting a little bit older. once you get past the point of thinking to yourself, one day my little brother is going to change and since going to hog the conversation, one day my bigger isn't isn't going to be so moody, once you get past that and say, this is who they are and i can move around and work through these things and love them despite their short comes. >> a little of challenge coming up on thursday for families. >> it's a realtime social experience. >> nice to have you this morning. thanks for coming in. up next, everything from the dragon tattoo and the iron lady. >> oh, and by the way, the mepettes. stay with us as we anticipate

golden and beautiful. wow. get your popcorn ready and your golden fake butter. >> between thanksgiving and new year's day, more than three dozen new films will be vying for your attention. >> jess cagle takes a look at the holiday movies vying to be the biggest and the best. >> holiday movie season is a fantastic mix of family movies, big action movies, but also all of the oscar movies and all of the buzz. it's probably the most exciting time. >> we are the muppets. >> hello. >> hello. >> hello. >> everything gets started this weekend with the muppets. everybody loves the muppets, non

love is them more than jason siegel who could wrote this movie and organizing a comeback for the muppets. the muppets are everywhere. the muppets are the come back of the year. >> good grief. >> if you go with a family movie about a little boy who lives in a train station, but it's directed by the last guy in the world that you would expect to drive a family movie, martin scorsazi. it turns out the guy who is known for gangster movies has a real cute side. back in 1997, sherlock holmes made something like $20 million worldwide. sherlock homes is back with a sequel. this is one of those rare sequels that i thought was better than the original. matt damon and scarlett johansson, matt damon plays a widower who purchases a run down zoo after his wife dies and he

moves his family there. it's base odd a true story. "the artist" is definitely the most surprising movie this year. it's about a 1920s movie star and his adventures in hollywood. but it is a silent film and it is shot in black and white. but it is romantic, it's funny, it's touching and it has a lot of oscar buzz. "extremely loud & incredibly close" is about a precocious little boy whose father died in the 9/11 attacks but his father leaves the little boy a mysterious key. >> what does this have to do with my dad? >> sandra bullock is in this movie, tom hanks is in it. and the little boy is played by tom born. >> you can't ask for better casting or a more shoo-in for an oscar nomination than merrill extreme playing the british

prime minister margaret thatcher. that's who she plays in "the iron lady." tinker, tailor, soldier, spy is a very intense adadtation of a novel. very terrific cast. i love the mission impossible movies, so i am very excited about "mission impossible: ghost pro ttocol." like all tom cruise movies, he loves to jump off tall movies. like this one, they took him to dubai and dangled him off the the tallest building in the world. >> i want you you to help me catch a killer of women. >> daniel craig and rudy mara are in one of the most anticipated movies of the holiday season. that's "the girl with the dragon tattoo" i'm hesitant to call it a holiday movie because it's based on an incredibly violent

novel. the director says this movie is going to be very r rated and very dark. merry christmas. steve spielberg has two movies coming out during the season. he has "the adventures of tinti in this," an animated film, but he also has "war horse." "war horse" is a big, sweeping epic set in world war i, the story of a boy and his horse. you will be weeping from the time the movie starts until the credits roll. >> be brave! be brave! >> rarely do i feel this way. i want to see almost all the movies. >> i was going to say, i was luke warm on the holiday movie season until i saw that. now it's going to be amazing. but we still know, no matter how many great movies come out who the stars will be. >> do we have a look at them? >> there we have. the greatest characters of all
