These protesters are young men, 20something, teenagers, hard to say if theyre here fighting for democracy or here to cause some trouble. Those were chants of down with president morsi, down with president morsi. Were now starting to see these protests and clashes take place in cities outside of cairo. In the northern city, the first fatality of these protests. According to the Muslim Brotherhood, 15yearold Islam Massoud was killed when antimorsi protesters attacked the brotherhoods offices there. Massoud hit in the head with a club and pronounced dead before he arrived at the hospital. This is some of the violence taking place. Lets go to Tahrir Square shall things are a little more peaceful. Things much calmer here where you have a few thousand people gathered here. About 40 tents, very much reminiscent of the 2011 egyptian revolution. You have food stands, people selling tea. Here is a tea stand right here. Lots of people talking politics. If you look at these groups here, these are all people that are debating their political positions and demanding that mr. Morsi rescind his controversial decre decrees. To start with i want these decrees to be withdrawn and secondly, i would hope he starts to listen to us and the people. I am willing to stay until we oust him just like we did with mubarak. Hes bringing it down on himself. Reporter factions opposed to mr. Morsi continued to make moves to apply political pressure on the president. Prodemocracy activist mohammed el baradi calling on morsi to rescind his decrees. Its not clear how many judges are going to heed the call for a strike because remember a lot of judges in egypt support mr. Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood and so do a lot of egyptians. Supporters of Muslim Brotherhood have called for demonstrations throughout the next few days, and thats why theres a lot of drama that comes with these developments. You have mr. Morsi seemingly entrenched in power. The Muslim Brotherhood movement taking on opposing factions who are mobilizing, demanding for him to rescind his decrees. Rez sesay a reza sayah, cair. We have learned a delegation from gaza is now in cairo. The three sides will get back to hammering out the ceasefire. Adding his voice to the discussion, the leader of hezbollah in lebanon. He sent a stern warning today to israel threatening major retaliation if israel makes a move on lebanon. Hezbollah is not involved in the renewed hostilities but they have fought with israel in the past. Tensions their shared border really has never gone away. At least 117 people are dead after a massive fire at a clothing factory in bangladesh. It happened outside the capital city of dhaka. You can see every window is lit with flames. Some workers tried to escape out the windows. There were about 2,000 workers, mostly women, in that factory and they expect, unfortunately, the death toll to rise. Well, they took a week off for thanksgiving, but Congress Gets back to work starting tomorrow. Time is short, but they have a lot on their agenda. The Senate Returns tomorrow, the house officially goes back into session on tuesday. The socalled fiscal cliff is the biggest item that is sitting on the congressional agenda. If president obama and congress dont reach some sort of deal, huge tax increases and spending cuts would automatically kick in january 1. Todayself republica selveral red away from a pledge banning tax increases. When youre 16 trillion in debt, the only pledge we should be making to each other is to avoid becoming greece, and republicans should put revenue on the table. I want to cut rates to create jobs, but i will violate the pledge, long story short, for the good of the country only if democrats will do entitlement reform. I agree with saxby chambliss. A pledge you signed 20 years ago, 18 years ago is for that congress. If i were in congress in 1941 i would have signed supported a declaration of war against japan. Im not going to attack japan today. The world has changed. Does it mean we might be closer to a fiscal cliff compromise . Athena jones takes a closer look. Reporter thats, of course, the big question here. We know in the meeting the president had with lawmakers the friday before thanksgiving there was a lot of positive talk coming out of that with leaders on both sides saying the meeting was constructive, that lawmakers understood their responsibilities, and that they were going to Work Together to avoid this fiscal cliff. Today lawmakers expressed optimism that theyre going to be able to reach a deal. Lets listen to what senator john mccain of arizona had to say followed by senator dick durbin of illinois. We can and must get an agreement. Otherwise, i think, first of all, the markets are going to start reacting. Unfortunately for the last ten days with the house and Congress Gone for the thanksgiving recess, there hasnt much progress hasnt been made, but tomorrow theres no excuse. Were back in town. Reporter so there you heard senator durbin say no more excuses, theyre back in town, going to have to get back to work. Certainly there is more pressure on lawmakers to get this done. The clock is ticking. Some people believe that democrats and the president may feel that they have a little bit more leverage since the president was reelected on a promise to raise taxes on the wealthy. I can tell you that the hope coming out of the meeting, the prior to thanksgiving meeting, we heard from senator reade saying they hope to meet with the president again. Theres not a meeting on the president s schedule but that could certainly change. Thank you very much. A spectacular scene off miami beach as an 80foot yacht went up in flames in a matter of minutes.

The sunday after thanksgiving is traditionally one of the busiest travel days of the year for americans. So far its smooth sailing for most travelers. Susan candiotti is tracking the travel scene from new Yorks Laguardia airport where it appears to be going well. Hello, susan. Reporter hi, martin. Things have been remarkably smooth for travelers on this busy Holiday Weekend. Mainly because theres been good weather throughout the country. Weve spent the day at new Yorks Laguardia airport, and we have seen very few lines, if at all, as people check in and go through security. Now, lets talk to the deleon family traveling this day. Youre from chicago. You spent the weekend in new york. How early did you come here today . We were here probably a good hour and a half before our flight boards, which is totally unlike us. Were usually doing the flight to the gate. Here we are trying to waste time until the flight leaves. Reporter obviously you have had bad experiences as well, as we all have, with delays. Why do you think it happened this weekend . Its very bizarre. I think its unseasonably warm weather has to be part of it. Its been gorgeous weather. Maybe the planes have been going on time and everything has been good. So i dont know. Its a delightful surprise. Its better than getting delayed and not getting home until tomorrow. Reporter and pricewise, did things cost about the same as they did last year . I think so. It really wasnt so bad. I think pricewise i dont think it was aeal big difference from last year. Reporter and you will be taking another chance in a few weeks. Got to travel for the holidays. Thats what its about. Spending time with family. Well roll the dice on flights and hope for the best. Reporter thank you very much. Of course, they are still reminding people, whether it is this weekend or coming up at christmasti christmastime, its always best to come early just in case. Marty, back to you. Thanks, susan. It appears a weekend of black friday shopping has set a record. The National Retail federation says 247 million shoppers hit the stores and websites for postthanksgiving sales and thats up from last years 226 million. The nrf says shoppers spent an average of 423 each since thursday. In all the trade group says bargain hungry consumers dropped 59. 1 billion. And it looks like those thanksgiving door buster deals worked. The federation estimates 28 of this years shoppers hit the stores, get this, before midnight thanksgiving night. Well, a tense ceasefire in the middle east. My next guess says theres a behind the scenes force that threatens the current peace now and in the future. Well explain that.

[ male announcer ] can a car be built around a state of mind . Announcing the allnew 2013 malibu from chevrolet. With a remarkable new interior featuring the available chevrolet mylink infotainment system. This is where sophisticated styling begins. And where it ends . Thats up to you. Its here the greatest malibu ever. As we keep an eye on that tenuous ceasefire between israel and hamas, one writer sees a silent but influential force at work behind the scenes of this conflict. So lets talk with frieda. Shes a World Affairs columnist for the miami herald and a World Politics review. And an old friend from cnn. Good to see you, marty. Lets talk about the column you wrote for cnn. Com. I believe its called iran, an ominous lengthening shadow. And it basically goes over this conflict and talks about how what weve just seen play out in gaza is an indication of what may be to come. What do you mean by that . Well, the confrontation that we saw was between the palestinians of hamas in gaza and israel, but behind the scenes there was a strong power that was playing a role in some ways subtle and in some ways less subtle. Iran is a friend of hamas, even though they have had their problems, but iran has armed insurgent groups. Its armed groups that oppose any kind of negotiated agreement with israel. It has backed them and has cheered them on, and israel expects that if there is a direct confrontation with iran, a direct armed confrontation, one of the things that iran might do is activate groups such as hamas in gaza or hezbollah in lebanon to have them use their weapons to attack israel. So some of what we saw happening in gaza was israel looking at the weaponry that half mahamas might put in play should there be a war directly confronting israel. We found israel finding a way to counter those weapons. The iron dome and some of the other things. You write about the impact of the arab spring. In your words, where would key arab and muslim players stand in case of this confrontation between iran and the west, particularly if israel and the palestinians became the e epicenter of this fighting . Did we get any answers out of this conflict . I think the answer was, first of all, it was disappointing to iran because egypt especially did not jump in on hamas side. No, they didnt. Egypt paid a lot of lip service to hamas and it spoke very harshly against israel, but it didnt jump in, and neither did hezbollah, and the truth is that arab countries where the socalled arab spring has taken shape, countries where the ground is really shifting politically, they had their traditional antiisrael stance, which is to be expected, but the intensity of it was probably something of a disappointment to hamas. Hamas wanted to make itself relevant again during a time of turmoil in the middle east, and it worked, but not with the intensity they would have hoped. I think many were curious about what the new egyptian president , where he would stand, especially coming from the Muslim Brotherhood, and, in fact, many westerners looked on his stand as being pretty right down the middi. Le. It was i think a chance that israel took. Israel didnt know what egypt would do and this was very risky. Its one of the reasons why i think the people who claim that netanyahu had decided to take this stance, they claim that perhaps it was a politically motivated decision, that perhaps it had to do with the elections that are coming in israel in january. I dont think that makes any sense because this was actually very risky for netanyahu. Who do you think, and i always hate to bring it down to winners and losers, but out of this conflict when you have so many that are killed, who is perceived as the winner . You know, everybody is claiming victory. I think its very clear that the losers are the people of gaza. The civilians who are in the cross fire, and i think they should have something to say to hamas about why it does not use any of its resources to protect them. I think they are the clear losers. Hamas had a momentary victory because it did gain the headlines, it became relevant for the moment. Longer term i dont think hamas really won very much of anything. They lost a lot of their arsenal. They did not get the support from the Muslim Brotherhood, from egypt, that they wanted. They lost a lot of their top commanders. So i dont think they can count themselves winners. I dont think iran can have much to celebrate here because their rockets that it helps to provide to hamas did not fare so well. I think israel can celebrate the iron dome. It was more of a success much more effective than i think most people expected. But i think, you know, one of the losers is the prospect for peace. I think youre right. Every time there is a military confrontation, the chances that people are going to be willing to take risks for peace diminish. Youre absolutely right. Its a pleasure to see you with the miami herald. There is a new weapon that could soon patrol the skies over israel and even right here in the u. S. And its smaller than, well, the palm of your hand. Well have that story coming up in a moment. [ male announcer ] alkaseltzer plus presents the cold truth. I have a cold. I took dayquil, but i still have a runny nose. [ male announcer ] truth is, dayquil doesnt work on runny noses. What . [ male announcer ] it doesnt have an antihistamine. Really . [ male announcer ] really. Alkaseltzer plus cold and cough fights your worst cold symptoms, plus has a fast acting antihistamine to relieve your runny nose. [ sighs ] thank you [ male announcer ] youre welcome. Thats the cold truth [ male announcer ] alkaseltzer plus. Oh what a relief it is [ male announcer ] to learn more about the cold truth and save 1 visit alkaseltzer on facebook. To come home for the holidays. Thats double miles you can actually use. Sadly, their brothers White Christmas just got blacked out. [ brother ] but its the family party really jingles your bells, doesnt it . My gift to you the capital one venture card for any flight, any time thats double miles you can actually use how illuminating. Whats in your wallet . Let me guess, am i on the naughty list again . Ho ho ho and before the break we were talking about the ceasefire between hamas and the israelis. It has been a halt to the rocket barrage which bloodied the region forri eight days. Theres still one weapon hovering over right now. Right before the conflict started, you visited one of israels largest defense manufacturers and you got an exclusive and pretty neat look at one of the countrys most valuable resources, the drone. So why do israelis feel they need to keep drones in the air at all times . These drones are these unmanned piloted systems. So essentially its cheaper for them to do this, and they were there before the conflict and they are going to remain after the conflict and the number one reason i could tell you, martin, is surveillance. These are these hightech equipment and they have great surveillance capabilities. We went to a place near the Israeli Aerospace industries where they build the cameras they put inside the drone. The amount of surveillance theyre able to do, especially in such a fragile situation, i spoke to an engineer where they handcraft the cameras. He said you can see if someone is carrying a stake or a weapon. I could see your shoes from miles and miles away. Thats becoming increasingly important and its cheaper for them to do it. They dont have to put a pilot in them. I should mention its not just israel using these. About 60 countries around the world are actually using these new capabilities because theyre becoming more and more a weapon that the were seeing in modernday warfare. The u. S. Is big in the program as well. You got a sneak peek at one of the new drones that is smaller than the palm of your hand . Sure. This was fascinating. They brought out something that looked a lot like a butterfly. Youre looking at it right there. And essentially what this would be used for, it isnt going to hit the market for a couple years, lets say israel was contemplating a Ground Invasion on gaza. This is the kind of thing they can fly over while theyre on the ground and take a look. Do surveys and see if theres danger ahead. You fly it with remote control. Its really, really small. And as they told me, they said, lori, these drones are getting smarter and smaller. Thats what were going to see in the next couple years. They did a demo. As you can see it there, it was just flying around there and people are just fascinated by this. And, you know, who knows where this could end up because the israel Aerospace Industries supply to israel and also supply to Different Countries around the world. So you know, you can see it flying there but you can imagine that on the ground in a time of conflict. It could be a valuable resource. Its not always the military, and what i mean is we know the u. S. Military use it is but more and more drones are being used by Law Enforcement in this country, right . Sure. Youre exactly right. We use them already in the United States for border control. The coast guard uses them. So these arent completely unheard of in the United States. And were going to see more and more of these. The faa, the federal aviation administration, they have a mandate from congress to incorporate more of these Unmanned Systems into civilian air space by 2014. What that could mean is we see more and more of these drones in civilian air space around cities, and you take a step back and say thats really scary, but really theyre less expensive than some of the helicopters that local Law Enforcement have and so that would give local Law Enforcement the ability to afford some of these surveillance vehicles, and, you know, its the kind of thing, martin, where if we see more and more of these, were going to have increased privacy issues because it definitely opens up a new can of worms with this new technology. I spoke to one expert so said if we see more and more of these, it can be good but its almost like realtime google earth. Were going to have to see where that ends up. Martin . Youre right, lori, thank you very much for the insights there coming from israel. Its a black friday tradition. Low prices, long lines, and short tempers. What the [ bleep ]. I will stab one of you [ bleep ]. Were exploring the mindset behind the mayhem next. Ney. Joe doesnt know it yet, but hell work his way up from busser to waiter to chef before opening a restaurant specializing in fish and game from the great northwest. Hell start investing early, hell find some good people to help guide him, and hell set money aside from his first day of work to his last, which isnt rocket science. Its just common sense. From td ameritrade. Half past the hour now. Lets take a look at the headlines. This is central cairo today. Furious protesters again filling the street, clashing with riot police. They are angry with egypts president for granting himself absolute power a couple days ago. Critics say president Mohamed Morsi has basically set himself up as a dictator. The president tried to ease tension today saying his new powers are not permanent. Across syria today more fighting and more casualties. Opposition activists say at least 15 people were killed today. Most of them in damascus and its suburbs. More than 50 people were reportedly killed yesterday in fighting throughout syria. China has successfully landed a fighter jet on an Aircraft Carrier for the first time. Chinas official News Agency Says the Aircraft Carrier was being built in the old soviet union. Its expected to hold 30 j15 fighter jets. The j15 is reportedly comparable to an american f18. Could be years though before that carrier is fully functional. The flood storm ending southwest england and wales are expected to get worse. Look at these images of swollen rivers and towns under water. Dozens of roads are already closed and some drivers have had to be rescued from their vehicles. At least one person has died, a woman who was trapped under a tree. Investigators now say that giant blast that turned a massachusetts strip club into dust and debris friday night was actually caused by human error. They say that a utility worker responding to a work of a gas smell punctured a High Pressure gas line by mistake. Officials say the worker went by incorrect markings on the sidewalk. They believe the gas entered the strip club triggering the explosion. 21 people were hurt, movst of them were emergency responders. And a sixalarm fighter broke out in a Historic Hotel around 10 00 and continued into the Early Morning hours. 20 apartments and several businesses inside the building were damaged but all of the residents managed to get out safely. Shoppers were out in record numbers this Holiday Weekend. The National Retail federation, a trade association, says that 247 million bargain hungry consumers hit stores and websites. Sadly, some of the shoppers also hit each other. And one woman in florida was even tackled by police at a walmart. Charles, from wtsb has her story. Reporter you are listening to Samantha Chavez scream for mercy. One top holding her down, another with his knee in her back. You know, panicked. I was upset. I was scared. I didnt know what to do. I was just at that moment its just so crazy that i just didnt even believe it was real. Samantha is back in her land l lakes home. She was looking for her sister who was standing in line to pay when a cop told her to go to the end of the line. He pretty much was telling me to go back to the back of the line. I was trying to explain that i wasnt there to purchase anything. I wasnt there to go in line. I was just looking for my sister. Reporter samantha said it was then the cop grabbed her and put her on the floor. For samantha a simple night of shopping turned violent. Gee turned me over, pinned me to the floor. He had his knee on my back. He had another officer come and get on my back. Im on the floor screaming at that point i didnt know what to do. Reporter but police tell a different story saying samantha refused to follow orders and when an officer grabbed her by the arm to escort her out, she pulled away making an even bigger scene. Five or six times that officer tells her she needs to go to the back of the line. Theres other people becoming upset thinking that youre cutting in line. Ultimately they arrested her for Disorderly Conduct and resisting without violence. Black friday now starts on thursday night. Right after pumpkin pie is served as thanksgiving dessert. Is that any way to end a thanksgiving meal with family . I talked with cultural observer and comedian bill santiago about black friday mayhem. Its amazing that people can get out there and get into that kind of trouble, that they have that much energy left after gorging themselves on turkey which is supposed to make you drowsy. Imagine if they werent see dated with tryptophan, how much trouble they could be causing. All this to celebrate the season of the prince of peace and goodwill towards the jerk trying to cut in line in front of you. I dont know where its leading to but its spinning off definitely into its own holiday for sure. The people seem to enjoy it, that it is a spectator kind of event now that more and more people are coming out not just for the bargains, but apparently to see what the heck happens snp. Yeah. I think the bargains is the least of it. I think people the discounts are nice but people are really going out there for the thrill. Theyre thrill seeking. Its becoming our like an american version of the running of the bulls meets the the price is right. It has a little commercialism but its really not about the 25 off but the 50 chance of survival. People get home alive, thats the thrill right there. Thats the bonus. Well, i like your imagery of the running of the bulls. It certainly does seem to fit. Its exactly like that. Somebody gets trampled for a laptop. Its hard to believe the same people that came up with this technology are willing to risk their lives that way for it. But could it be now that all of this of which we jest could be threatened by people just doing the sacrilegious thing of shopping online, not going to the stores. Absolutely not. Outbidding somebody on ebay does not give you that same inperson thrill of grabbing the toy out of somebodys hands and fighting for the death for it. You really have to be there. Until they can come up with some sort of digital avatars that women allow you to battle out for it online, you know, cyber monday is going to be a far second to black friday. Undetectable bullets .

A lot of people no doubt this Holiday Weekend went and saw the new bond film but sometimes the real thing can be even more fascinating. Thats what we have for you now, an exclusive look inside an assassination plot. It involves pens that poison and guns that cant be detected. Youre going to hear from the target himself, who was behind it . Intelligence Officials Say north korea. Cnns Paula Hancocks joins me live from seoul. This has to do with north korea allegedly trying to kill people who have defected, right . Im wondering how often does this happen . Reporter well, martin, its a question weve asked, and the answer is were not telling you. The Intelligence Agency very rarely talks about these assassination attempts so no one knows how often they happen. But there was a high profile one that happened last year. The wouldbe assassin was caught, the plot was thwarted and the weapons were confiscatsd and weve been given a very exclusive look at those weapons. Reporter an assassination attempt foiled. A north korean spy is arrested on the streets of seoul. This was a year ago. And this is the first time south korean intelligence officials are showcasing the weapons. Exclusively to cnn. How does this work . Translator this poison needle was made to look like a parker ball point pen. There is a tube inside here. In order to activate it, we have to twist it towards the right three to four times and then press the top part like this. If youre shot by this pen, what happens to you . Translator it would cause muscle paralysis very quickly, which would lead to suffocation and death. Reporter the second pen shots a poison filled pullet which penetrates the skin. The poison is then released. These pens look like that he belong in a james bond movie. Is it new technology or is this quite old, quite basic technology . Translator these pen weapons are not new. North korean spies have had this technology for ten years. But this flashlight is new. There are three holes. Theres a bullet in each hole. This is currently loaded and dangerous. Two bullets remain. Reporter forensics experts filed one bullet to test the gun disguised as a flashlight. It was accurate and deadly. And almost impossible to identify as a weapon. When Police Arrested the wouldbe assassin, he was carrying all three weapons, none had been fired. This man was his target. Defector and antipyongyang activist park sanhak renowned for sending antipropaganda leaflets across the border in balloons. He was due to meet the wouldbe assassin who claimed he wanted to fund his activism. South korean intelligence agents stopped him at the last minute. Translator i didnt believe they would try and kill me on the crowded streets of seoul. I thought the National Intelligence service was overreacting. Reporter we show park the weapons intended to kill him. He hadnt seen them before in such detail and seemed shock. Translator you would know it was a gun but these weapons are so innocuous you could easily kill someone. Reporter park knows hes at the top of north koreas hit list and has around the clock police protection. Having seen the weapons, he says he knows there will be more assassination attempted, but he will not stop his activism. Park was clearly shaken when he saw the footage showing those weapons that were intended to kill him because he said they were so innocuous and the fact is he could have been killed and he wouldnt have even known what had happened or who had tried to kill him because they were such innocent looking weapons. Now the wouldbe assassin has been sentenced to four years in prison. Martin . Fascinating look. Paula hancocks, thanks very much. The Powerball Jackpot, its the highest its ever been, 425 million.
