This is the cbs evening news axelrod good evening. Im jim axelrod, and this is a western edition of the broadcast. Picture a bar crammed on the eve of the 4 of july, and youll have some idea of what it was like in a pub in glasgow, scotland, last night, when suddenly a Police Helicopter crashed through the roof. Today is st. Andrews day in scott honoring the countrys patron saint, but a rescue and recovery operation has replaced the celebration. Reporter the remains of the Police Helicopter stuck out from the hole it gashed in the roof of the pub. One witness said it dropped out of the sky like a stone. This amateur video shows the chaos. The place was packed with 120 people listening to a live band. William byrne said he was lucky he was on the other side of the pub when the ceiling came down. There was a huge bang. And there was, like, a couple of seconds of almost stillness after this bang, and then the whole other side of the pub from where i was in collapsed. Reporter before emergency crews arrived, bystanders formed a human chain to rescue people trapped under the debris. Jim murphy was one of those who stopped to help. There were people much deeper in the pub, and passing trying to pass injured people out, and all you did was grab the person that was given to you and pass them on to the next person. Reporter friday had seen the start of celebrations to mark scotlands national holiday, st. Andrews day. Instead, it turned to mourning. Scottish first minister alex salmond. This is a black day for glasgow and for scotland, but its a day we can take pride in courage and how we respond to adversity and tragedy. Reporter 14 people remain in the hospital, many with serious head and chest injuries. Authorities havent released the names of the victims yet. Kim jardine is afraid she may hear the worst. I drank in there very often so i might know a few of the victims. Reporter weve seen heavy machinery throughout the day and tonight here at the site, jim. Theyre still calling this a rescue and recovery operation. They say they still dont know whats under that debris, and they cant know for sure until theyre able to safely remove whats left of that helicopter first. Axelrod a horrifying situation in scotland tonight. Charlie, thank you. Investigators from want National Transportation safety board are headed to western alaska tonight where a small commuter plane went down near the remote village of st. Marys. Four died, including the pilot, and an infant boy. We have developments in the way we shop to report tonight. It turns out black friday may no longer be the busiest shopping david year. One survey looking at shopping the past two days, reports more shoppers hitting the stores thursday with expanded store hours than they did on friday. Last year, it was just the reverse. But as Michelle Miller tells us, the number shoppers care about most is the discount from retail prices. Reporter kentucky native carrie cassetty brought her 16yearold daughter and a friend shopping to new york looking for deals. When they say theyre 40 off theyre just grinning and running to the table. Reporter so its working on them. Uhhuh. It is. Reporter the gap is among retail giants slashing prices 40 to 50 in an effort to lure even the most bargainconscious shoppers. Carol cruz is the store manager. They are doing a lot more research before they purchase something as small as the best pair of gloves that they can get. Reporter is that different from last year . Customers this year are very smart, and theyre deciding where theyre going to spend their dollar. Reporter black friday shoppers spend about 30 more time doing their homework Comparison Shopping than they did last year. Eernlg, that adds up to about an hour and 21 minutes. The Christmas Shopper this season is the most bargain hunter driven shopper levels ive seen in my 30 years. Reporter retail analyst brit beemer says while deals may be drawing shoppers out, retailers may not be cashing in. Thats because shopping traffic m p25 last year but spending wl only rise about 6 . Last year, there were a lot of gifts around 50. This year, theres more gifts around 35. So there will be more gifts given but fewer dollars spent. Reporter beemer reports 40 of early bird shoppers stopped at walmart, the scene of a few door buster scuffles. One shopper at a mall in philadelphia even pulled out a stun gun. But overall, he reports, consumers didnt seem to mind the earlier thursday kickoff to black friday. He said some even moved up their thanksgiving dinner. Michelle miller, cbs news, new york. Axelrod president obama did his bit for Small Business saturday, dropping in at the politics and prose book store in washington with his daughters, sasha and malia. The president says he bought books for every age group on his list, from five to 52. Todays the day the president set as the deadline for getting his Health Care Web site up and running after its notoriously rocky start. We asked jeff pegues to look into how the patches and fixes are coming along. Reporter after an 11hour overnight maintenance session shut down key parts of the web site, healthcare. Gov is open for business again, and on theidate white house said is a deadline for repairs, the Administration Says the site is performing well under heavierthanusual weekend traffic. Since the Major Repairs began last month, the technicians working on the site say they have been able to correct more than 300 specific problems and add the capacity to handle 50,000 users at a time. For a total of 800,000 users a day. But whether the deadline has been met depends on if the web site holds up to the towbdz of people who might want to use it at the same time. There have been repeated warnings this week the web site could get overwhelmed during peak periods, especially the middle of the day, when demand will be greater than capacity. Instead of those all too familiar error messages, customers will be put in a queuing system and given a time to try again. Politicos rachael smolkin says the white house is walking a fine line trying to encourage users back to the site without overwhelming it. They have to be very careful to avoid declaring a Mission Accomplished moment here. They need to rebuild confidence slowly. They need to continue to work on the web site. Reporter democrats on capitol hill have been pressuring the white house for a quick fix to boost enrollment numbers. There is concern, perhaps bordering on panic, that the longer problems with the Affordable Care acts persist, the more vulnerable the party will be in next years midterm elections. If the web site does not work over the next couple of weeks, expect to hear a lot more noirkz a lot more angry noise from the democrats in congress. Reporter december 23 is a key date for people who want coverage january 1 and the administration is expecting a surge in enrollment at about that time. If the web site isnt functioning properly, jim, there could be a Ripple Effect that cripples the president S Health Care law. Axelrod jeff pegues reporting for us tonight from our washington bureau. Thank you, jim. Antigovernment protesters in thailand are promising a violent day tomorrow when they say theyll seize the prime ministers office. One person was shot to death during an outbreak of violence in basic cock today outside a stadium where supporters of the prime minister, yingluck shinawatra, were rallying. Its ubclear which side the dead man office. It turns out u. S. Forecasters overestimated hurricane activity this year. The 2013 Hurricane Season ended today. Twen six and nine hurricanes were initially predicted and we ended up with just two storm systems reaching hurricane strength. Just one of those made landfall in the United States which means this was the calmest season in 31 years. Just ahead, a rare look inside secretive north korea when the cbs evening news continues. Today urged the Quick Release of an 85yearold man from california named merrill newman. Hes a korean war vet taken off a plane in north korea last month just as he was about to leave the country following a 10day tour. The staterun media in north korea released a video today, apparently showing newman apologizing for war crimes. On this trip, i can understand that in u. S. And western countries, there is misleading information and propaganda. The statement is full of grammatical errors. He does suffer from a heart condition. You heard the word reclusive a lot when somebody is describing north korea. The regime doesnt let the rest of the world see what it doesnt at the present time to but the tight controls have been loosening ever so slightly starting just about two years ago when the Associated Press was allowed to open a bureau in the capital of pyongyang. David guttenfelder is the photographer assigned to the bureau. He spend up to three weeks at a time in north korea. You go to these maz spectacles 100,000 people in the stadium, creating these huge mosaics of propaganda. If you look closely, its children flipping cards and theyre peeking out from behind the boards. So rather than photograph the whole scene, guin and you see sort of the ropes and pulleys behind what they want you to see. Axelrod hes been to 75 countries in his 18 years as a photo journalist, making more than 20 trips to north korea alone in the last 13 years. To guttenfelder, the steps north korea is taking are halting and small, but unmistakable. Are you feeling that what you are allowed to do is different now than, say, a decade ago . For me, its certainly different than it was before. They are not putting their hand in front of my camera, but, of course, there are things that we cant see. I live there by want fact that photography can be sphwherptd a number of ways. So i might take a picture that to them they hold up very proudly, and to us, it reveals something totally different. Reporter what is it like outside pyongyang . Weve heard about the grinding poverty in the countryside. Tell me what you see out there. People live in very basic life. They farm by hand. You see groups of people gathered in rice fields by the hundreds with vans parked and speakers on top to play propaganda to motivate people to work. There are checkpoints along every road so they limit where people move and how people move around the country. You do see children who show clear signs of malnutrition and clear signs of a very hard life for people. Axelrod is north korea a place where the average person has found a way to scratch out some sense of joy amid all of this hopelessness . I cannot imagine how difficult their life is, mainly because i dont think any of us can imagine living a life where we are under so much scrutiny and so much control. But that said, i think people find their way, and they find their way within their system to survive, to live, and to be happy. You go to a department store, and you see a man with his daughter lifting her up as she goes up the escalator, just like i would do with my own daughter, andun there is real receive there. Axelrod while guttenfelder is enjoying the longer leash he has been given by the north korean government, he does tell us he has no clear idea where the regime is giving to to him. Description of firefighters. They run into the buildings. Everyone else is running out of. But now some firefighters are learning how to put themselves bothe line of another kind of fire. Buhr takes us to fairfax city, virginia where firefighters are training to save lives during maz shootings. Reporter when the First Tactical teams responded in this active shooter drill, not everyone had a weapon. These two firefighters were armed with medical gear. Its a radical change in tactics for firefighters in fairfax, virginia. Andy vita is the assistant chief. You know, lifetime our firefighters say, if i have a hose i can go into a fire and i can put that out. In this one were taking them into a gunfight without a gun. Reporter when you have a mass shooting scenario when you have a lot of people wounded, its critical to get in there even while the event is still unfolding. If somebody has gone into the front door of the school and shot people on the way in and they are now in the cafeteria or gymnasium, we can go in and save the lives at the front door. Reporter at the theater shooting in auror acolorado, in 2012, most of the severely wounded were transported by police. Firefighters and paramedics, following their training, waited across the park lot for the allclear. In fairfax city, waiting is no longer an option. Firefighters here are new training with bulletproof vests and helmets and theyre required to follow police into active shooting scenes. Its not an easy adjustment for veterans, including joe tutt. Youre a firefighter. Yes. Reporter youre ready to respond to a fire. Suddenly they say heres a ballistic vest and a helmet. Were going into a situation that is very different for us and that stress level, a roft us have never been involved with. Reporter moving quickly with police protection, tutt and his partner treated the injured and found ways to move the most critically wounded. What were trying to do is get as close to perfect as we can. We want to save everybody, and time is of the essence. The quicker we with get people in there the more people who are going to be safe. Reporter its a new approach, chief vita says, more Fire Departments must embrace. Bob orr, cbs news, fairfax, virginia. Axelrod still ahead, come and get it.

No pushing, no shoving, no fighting,un, no stealing from somebody else. This isnt walmart.

Reporter the judge granted morris and talbert temporary, limited guardianship over hatch, until august, 2014. After that, its up to her. I dont think jennie needs a guardian for everything in this world. I think, to quote jennie, she just needs a little help. applause . Thank you.

Reporter when king turned 18, his family became his legal guardians, but his mother, suzie, says her son doesnt need that level of supervision. So theyve taken their case to court. We followed jennies story, and we decided well, why not try it ourselves. We tried it before, even though we were turned down, we decided to try it again.
