Mourning for the 224 people who died when a plane apparently broke up in mid air over egypts sinai peninsula. These are satellite images of that region. Investigators are gathering wreckage in a place where militants loyal to isis operate. So far there is no evidence anyone took the plane down but air france, lufthansa, emirates and Qatar Airways are the growing number of carriers avoiding that airspace, more from allen pizzey in cairo. Reporter the search area for victims has been widened and with it the mystery of what actually caused it. Russian aviation Officials Say the debris is spread over nearly eight square miles. Egyptian officials said the body of a child had been found nearly five miles from the main wreckage. There is every indication that the destruction occurred in the air, Russian Federal aviation head Alexander Neradko said at a high altitude. More than 100 Russian Emergency workers have been sent to the sinai to help in the search for victims and to examine debris. The detailed investigation will involve french, russian, egyptian and other officials according to strict international rules. One theory is the plane may have suffered structural failure, under a previous ownership, the airbus hit the runway at cairo tailfirst in 2001 and could have reached a critical point of weakness even though it underwent many inspections. The extent of the debris field has also focused more attention on the claim of responsibility by an i. S. Affiliate. The group is known to have surface to air missiles but their effective range is only about 10,000 feet. For some months a number of airlines have ordered their pilots not to fly below about 25,000 feet over the sinai and the russian plane was even higher when contact with it was lost. Egyptian president abdel fatah al sisi said the investigation into the crash could take months. This evening, bodies began being moved from the morgue for transportation back to st. Petersburg. Russian Officials Say they hope to have all the bodies recovered and repatriated within the next few days and ordered the company that owned the airliner to ground all the a320 airbuses in its fleet and check them. Glor allen pizzey, thank you. Were bringing in michael morrell, former number two at the cia and cbs contributor. Theyre looking at similar planes for a potential mechanical issues but the isis affiliate in the sinai has claimed responsibility as you know. What do you make of that . So its hard to say what the claim of credibility means at this point. This isis affiliate, jeff, has not made a lot of claims. So its hard to judge whether theyve got a track record of making claims that turn out to be right or a track record of making claims that turn out to be wrong. So i just dont put a lot of stock on the claim of credibility at this point. Glor is it at all real realistic to believe that a surface to air missile could hit a plane at that altitude . Jeff, i dont think so. The type of air Defense Systems that can reach 30,000 feet are either fixed or theyre mobile on trucks. Its my understanding that this particular isis group does not have that kind of capability. They have some surface to air missiles, some manned pads that are portable but those kind of systems simply cant reach that altitude. Glor a number of airlines are saying theyre not going to fly over this area. What are we to make of that decision . Jeff, i think its just prudence. We dont know what happened here, and as long as we dont know what happened, its probably prudent to avoid the area. Glor michael morrell, thank you very much. Sign up season started for Health Insurance under the Affordable Care act year three. Premiums are going up an average of 7. 5 but they could be much higher depending on where you live. Heres jericka duncan. Reporter selfemployed accountant fred emel of oklahoma buys insurance for his family through the Health Insurance marketplace. He just learned his premiums are going up from 1,100 per month to 1,700. That means he could pay 20,000 next year for Health Insurance. A single year increase of 66 . The first job when i got out of school was 16,5, thats a lot of money. Reporter the Affordable Care act requires every state to set up a market place for the uninsured or allow the federal government to do so. But when insurance providers back out of that market place as some did in emels state, consumers pay more. Demiums vary widely and are actually decreasing in a few places. Indiana down 12. 6 . And mississippi, down 8 . But in most states, premiums are rising, up 31. 5 in alaska, and up nearly 36 in oklahoma. And that could be because of market consolidation, it could be the providers are asking for more money with the Insurance Companies or it could be because drug prices are increasing. Reporter Elizabeth Benjamin helps people get healthcare coverage. Insurance increases that are over 10 , the government will come in and review it. Reporter according to the department of health and human services, with tax credits, more than seven in ten current enrollees could find plans for 75 a month or less. But fred emel doesnt qualify for tax credits, forcing him to shop around. Subsidies will go up but so will penalties which will be more than double per adult to 695 or 2. 5 of taxable income, whichever is higher and fines for families will now be almost 2,100 if you dont have insurance. Jeff . Glor jericka, thank you very much. A georgia man says hes on death row because hes black. And the jury that sentenced him is white. Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear his case. As weija jang reports, the outcome could change the way juries nationwide are selected. Reporter Timothy Tyrone foster does not deny killing a 79yearold woman during a burglary in her northern georgia home. But foster says he didnt get a fair trial because the prosecutor removed all the black candidates from the jury. The trial came just a year after the Supreme Court ruled jurors could not be excused because of their race. But lawyers could still dismiss them for cause. What weve seen since the case was decided is that prosecutors continue to strike africanamericans or hispanics from the juries. And then just make up reasons for striking them. As long as they are not race reasons. Reporter steven bright, a veteran Death Penalty attorney is representing foster. He went through the prosecution teams notes and said he found blatant discrimination. What we really found was an arsenal of smoking guns. Reporter the name of each potential black juror was highlighted. The word black was circled next to the race question on questionnaires, and in this list of possible jurors titled definite nos, the top five people are black. During closing arguments, the prosecutor urged the allwhite jury to sentence foster to death in part to deter other people out there in the projects from doing the same again. Tomorrow bright will argue the Supreme Court should grant foster a new trial and force trial judges to hold juror challenges to a higher standard. They have to scrutinize the reasons that prosecutors give and that they cant just take them at face value. Because if thats going to happen, then this is going to continue from now on. Reporter georgia courts have repeatedly rejected claims of discrimination. Prosecutors even argue they actually wanted a black juror to avoid accusations that the jury was biased. Glor thank you. It appears the wreckage of a doomed cargo ship has finally been found. Searchers aboard a navy vessel believe they found the el faro under 15,000 feet of water east of the bahamas. The el faro went down october 1st in heavy seas caused by hurricane joaquin, 33 people were on board, no one survived. This tuesday, voters in ohio will decide whether to legalize marijuana. Op issue is a proposed amendment that would give a small group of investors a pot monopoly. Heres barry petersen. Its time for marijuana reform, so Law Enforcement can spend their time cracking down on real criminals. Reporter the ads are coming fast and furious for a constitutional amendment legalizing pot for recreational and medical use. A campaign using a battletested plan run by political operative ian james. Theyre getting ready for the ipad canvass. Reporter but unlike other states, here ten groups have already hand picked investors will get exclusive right to grow ohios pot. And they are paying to play. Bank rolling almost all of the 24 Million Dollar campaign. These arent people that we think of are stoners, hippies, were talking about prominent wellknown Business People who are supporting this. Right, were talking about taking this from a tiedye to suit and tie approach. This is not the right way to do it. Reporter but former governor bob taft says this kind of business is bad business. With maybe some money coming, if this issue passes, to local governments. But think of the publichealth costs in terms of our children, our youth. Reporter every state makes its own rules for growing legal marijuana. The group of ten investors here say they will compete against each other. And argue that their plan streamlines getting pot into shops and money into tax coffers. Investor Jennifer Doering runs a liquor distribution company. It tells the rest of the nation that ohio is progressive and people are progressive thinkers. And that if it can happen in ohio, it can happen anywhere. No on issue three. Reporter but opponents got their own amendment on the ballot to ban monopolies. And both the anti and pro amendments are polling well. Reporter if both of these pass, in your understanding, whats next . If there is one lawyer alive in the state of ohio theres going to be a lawsuit. Reporter if so, courts may ultimately decide if marijuana in ohio stays on the black market or becomes the states newest big business. Barry petersen, cbs news, columbus. Glor now to illinois where lawmakers have proposed a new approach to preventing Domestic Violence. Theyre looking to the beauty profession to help spot ugly situations at home. Jamie yuccas shows us why some believe training salon workers could help save lives. Reporter women go to the salon for a new look but can end up spilling secrets about struggles at home. New york stylist kerri towers has heard it all. Once you get to know someone and they keep coming back to you, they trust you. Reporter its that kind of openness that has illinois lawmakers looking to require a mandatory hour of training for nail technicians and hairdressers to spot signs of abuse when renewing their license every two years. This would be the first law of its kind in the country. The training specifically for Domestic Violence might actually be very helpful. Absolutely. I do not know when to spot it, so training would be a great thing. Reporter National Programs like the professional beauty associations cut it out train stylists to recognize abuse and tofer victims to helpful resources. Results can be hard to track. Safe horizon is the largest Victim Services agency in the nation. C. E. O. Ariel zwang says abused women are often isolated from friends and family. So theyre more likely to open up to a cosmetologist. There is something about that salon technician or hair stylist that makes them feel free to talk but not be judged. Reporter nationwide more than 20,000 phone calls are placed to Domestic Violence hotlines but the department of justice estimates 50 of cases go unreported. With one in four american women experiencing Domestic Violence, there are going to be women in every salon every day who could benefit from a referral to a Domestic Violence service provider. Reporter if the law passes in illinois, salon employees wouldnt be blamed for failing to intervene in a Domestic Violence situation. Jeff, safe horizon points out there are resources for victims in every state and online. Glor jamie, thank you very much. Late today we learned actor and politician Fred Thompson has died. Throughout his career thompson switched between playing washington insiders in films like the hunt for red october, and being one. He served two terms as a u. S. Senator from tennessee. He ran for president in 2008. In recent years he played the d. A. On law and order. A family statement says he died in nashville of lymphoma. Fred thompson was 73 years old. Up next, an update on a tangled whale and why its happening so often. And the fallout from this weekends wildest play, when the cbs evening news continues. Glor this weekend rescue crews off Southern California managed to partially free a humpback whale tangled in a fishing line, and as Mireya Villarreal reports, it is a recurring problem with whales swimming closer and closer to shore. Reporter by the time rescuers reached this humpback whale, weighing more than 40,000 pounds, it was dragging two long lines of rope stuck in its mouth and trailing past its tail. It is a very, very risky and somewhat dangerous procedure. Reporter sea world curator keith yip is part of the rescue crew which first tried to free the whale on friday, but it swam more than 80 miles before crews spotted it again near san diego. This animal had this in tow. Even after the team up north cut 100 feet of line off. Reporter Russell Moore operates whale watching tours and also assisted in the rescues. Similar to the way a fisherman would pull in a big fish, they pulled in a humpback whale. Tis whale, i believe in the end, knew we were there to help and allowed us to cut the gear free. Reporter rescuers also freed another whale last week. But two other recent attempts failed. Since january there have been at least 50 whales caught up in fishing lines off the california coast. The food they prey on is drawn to these waters because of warmer ocean temperatures. And when the whales get here. Theres all sorts of different entanglements, some with long lines, youve got hooks all over and its just really kind of a dangerous situation. Reporter one scientist tells cbs news the outlook for this humpback whale is guarded. Part of the line may still be trapped in its mouth, but at least he says the whale now has a much better chance of survival. Mireya villarreal, cbs news, los angeles. Glor up next, retailers are ready to sell this Holiday Season but are people ready to buy . Season but are people ready to buy . Glor it is november 1, the start of the Holiday Shopping season. The National Retail federation predicts shoppers will spend 3. 7 more than last year but some analysts are not so sure. Here to explain is cbs News Business analyst jill schlesinger. Jill, where is the consumer right now . Seven years from the end of cie official recession, people are not feeling confident well. We have a recent cbs news poll showing 60 of americans who think the condition of the National Economy is bad, and just 38 think its good. Because of that lack of confidence, there are many analysts who are predicting this could be a flat season from last year, maybe up just a little bit. Glor which is interesting because millions of new jobs created over the past year. The Unemployment Rate is at 5. 1 , gas prices 80 cents cheaper than last year. People should have more money to spend, right . Yes, and economists really thought that extra money would be spent freely throughout lots of different sectors. That has not happened. What has occurred is that americans are saving. In fact, as of a report this past week, we know the savings rate is now 4. 8 . Thats a Pretty Healthy rate. And yes, although the labor landscape has improved, were still only 2. 2 higher with wages. And i think that is really sticking into the american ngndset. Glor have retailers given us some indication of where they are at or what they are expecting . We know based on how many employees theyve been hiring, so mixed news, amazon up 25 over last year, 100,000 temp workers for the holidays, wal mart flat at 60,000. Toys r us down to 40,000. I cant say it will be a lump of coal. Probably not a big diamond either, somewhere in between. Glor jill, thank you very much. Still ahead here, a visit with the kid billed as hockeys next big thing. Big thing. Thing. Glor it was one the wildest plays in football history and today officials said also one of the worst series of calls. Miamiduke final seconds of the game, miami scored a game winning touchdown after eight lateral passes. Today the league conducted a review and suspended the entire officiating crew two games for blowing multiple calls on the play. Cold comfort for duke fans, though, the score still stands. Hurricanes win in the end. Finally tonight, he is being called everything from the next big thing to hockeys lebron james. He is conner mcdavid, a generational talent who just began his first season on the ice playing for the edmonton oilers, once home to wayne gretzky, for this weeks new edition of 60 minutes sports, we got the inside look at the making of a megaprospect. Weve heard this story before, the precocious child that shows a spooky talent at a very, very young age. His parents say they neither pushed nor encouraged his obsession with hockey. My perspective was we owed it to him to give him every opportunity to be successful. Td if success didnt follow, you know, we would deal with that as a family. Because first and foremost were still a family it was pretty clear to me from a very young age that he was a talented hockey player and he had a gift that others didnt have. Glor like only two players before him, mcdavid signed a special exception that allowed him to play in the Ontario League for the erie otters at the age of 15, against kids three and four years older. D t that involved leaving home. As a child, he had warned his mother that that day would come. We were standing at the kitchen table. And he said to me, i will be leaving home when im 15, and i said oh my gosh, you know, you dont want to leave your mom. And he looked right at me and he said are you going to stop me . And i thought well, you know, sure, i can if i want to. Glor the shy kid who doesnt want to talk much. Uhhuh. Glor knows when to talk. Yeah, and he was very hes very insightful. He was probably seven. Glor he was seven. Yeah, very young. It is never easy to leave home, at any time. Obviously for mum or dad, i think when are you 15 and leaving home, i think it makes it that much harder. But it was something that i just needed to do. And i needed to keep moving on in my hockey career. Glor and mcdavid is off to an extraordinary start, 12 points in 12 games in his first season.
