let's check your forecast with robert. >> thank you, gianna. most of us are starting with mostly sunny skies. as we take a live look outside, hazy out there in san jose. we saw this yesterday. we're also still under a fog advisory particularly the east bay valleys in effect through noon. otherwise, a warmup much like yesterday. temperatures expected today 72 in our warmest of areas and the warmup continues, cloudy on the weekend and sunday a 30% chance of showers. we'll keep our eyes on that for the start of the new workweek. the sun returns and so do the temperatures. we rebound well back into the mid-60s. get out and enjoy. never in my lifetime did i think i could walk 60 miles in 3 days. 60 miles in 3 days-- i can do that. 60 miles compared to what a cancer patient goes through is a walk in the park. from the moment i registered, people started immediately supporting me. we had an outpouring of-- of support. i wanted to do something bigger than myself. the 60 miles-- it makes a statement. i know i'm stronger than i was before, both mentally

robert downey jr. you can't begrudge someone asking forgiveness for his friend. he is courageous and standing by his friend. look at the history here. mel gibson helped out roblet downey jr. in 2003 no one would hire him and it was mel gibson that put up the insurance bond money so robert downey jr. could work and get his career back on track. >> i think the history with gibson is dealing with two separate things he needs to climb back from. the vicious threats against his ex-wife and also this despicable rant that he went off on the police. which one is more difficult to get over? >> it's a double whammy. you have the anti-semitic comments he made and then the tape. you hear him again and all of a sudden this feeling sort of go up in you again and it's difficult, absolutely difficult. >> ultimately you set it up there, but if someone is able to forgive in this case it's tough to forget. >> i think it's a -- there is two things that mel gibson has to get over. robert downy jr. was asking hollywood to f

some democrats have said after press secretary robert gibbs basically said look it's possible that the gop could take over the house, they're saying this is not the kind of support that we need right now as we're heading into this election season. but in the end, could losing the house ultimately be good for the president because it certainly helped bill clinton? >> you know erica, i don't think it is ever good to lose. i think you're always better off when you win, but i'll tell you this, i think unless this economy begins to look a lot better, i mean robert gibbs was just stating the obvious, that if things don't get better with all that anger and frustration out there, a lot of democrats are going to lose their seats. a lot of democrats, especially in the house, didn't like to hear that because the way they see it and the way they hear it the president's trying to divorce himself from them and sort of leaving them out there on their own where, you know he can say, you know it's their fault if they get beat. it doesn't have anything to do with me. but again, i think this is just a sy

. >> troi robey roberts is with u. this is a horrific killing. john said, "i just couldn't adjust when i came home." how sick was he? >> there was no history of criminality or violence before he went to war. when he came back there were frequent explosions of anger and frightening flashbacks. his father said many times they would find john stripped naked in the fetal position in the corner of the house in an altered house and it would take forever for him to snap out of it. he was on medications and none worked for him. >> we heard for years about post traumatic stress disorder being something so many young men and women return to the states with after spending time in iraq and afghanistan. has it been used as a defense for murder? >> yes. three years ago an iraq veteran living in oregon killed an unarmed man. he claimed ptsd defense. the jury found him guilty but insane. he was sentenced to a state hospital. >> very interesting. >> thank you so much. you can see the entire report on "48 hours mystery: private needham's war" at 9:00 central this

before wall street opened this morning, we asked the university of california professor robert reich who is also labor secretary under president clinton what he was looking for in this morning's report. >> erica, people are scared, they are worried about their jobs and wages, they are worried about the state of the economy. if we have an unemployment report that does not come up with 125,000 new jobs at least and what you need just to accommodate the natural growth of the labor force, people are going to be even more scared because it means that we are actually treading water, going backwards. we are not advancing on this jobs situation. a lot of americans understand intuitively that when 70% of the economy is consumers and consumers are workers and workers are not getting hired is there a vicious cycle going on in which people are scared they are not going to get jobs, they are going to lose their jobs and wages are going down so they are not spending and if they are not spending employers will not hire. >> mr. secretary, it's jeff glor. quite a few headlines bringing up the words d

yesterday on "face the nation" robert gibbs talked about the fact that the white house sees this man, newt gingrich, as for real, but do you think they see him as enough of a threat to put a plan going forward that they could beat in an election head-to-head? >> oh, yes. i think the white house -- it's tough for them to play mischief in the republican race, although they are certainly trying by attacking mitt romney. i think that newt gingrich has liabilities in the general election context. his negatives were very, very high when he left washington in the mid '90s. if you look at the des moines register poll and you ask the question of likability, he is very, very low on that question. it's one of the reasons he says he won't attack his opponents. he needs to improve his like ability number. and in a general election when people have to think about who do they want in their lives for four years, newt gingrich has a lot of who, to do on that front. and this white house could take him on that front. or a number of things he said that might slip by. but certainly this is a white house w

defense secretary robert gates acknowledging both sides have been in contact. those talks come as rhetoric on all sides seems to be moving toward a beginning of the end in u.s. involvement there and a withdrawal of troops. one of the first correspondents on the ground with u.s. troop ss in the first days of the war is lara logan. she joins us now. as you look at what we're learning over the weekend, how could these talks potentially lead to an end game for u.s. troops? >> it's been clear for a long time that the u.s. is looking for a way out. some are call inging it a desperate scramble for the exit. at the same time, they're trying to convince the afghans that they're committed and they're there for the long haul. what's not being talked about in all the news about the talks, erica, is the fact that the u.s. is supposed to be just beginning negotiations for a long-term setup of forces withdrawal agreement with the afghans, which would dictate what the u.s. presence in afghanistan looks like long teller.rm. before they can even get to that, there has to be some
