This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. On the eve of the thanksgiving holiday getaway, there is trouble for travelers. A storm system that began in the west last week is now heading into the northeast with rain, wind, snow, and ice. 1,300 flights have been canceled since the weekend. This is a live look at airports in new york, cleveland, and nashville, where some folks are looking to make an early escape. This satellite view will give you an idea of just how big this storm is. As you can see, it covers much of the country. Its already blamed for at least 11 deaths. We have three reports tonight with more than three Million People expected to fly this weekend, were going to begin with Manuel Bojorquez at the airport in atlanta. Manuel. Reporter scott, this is the worlds busiest airport. Its also headquarters for Delta Airlines, which today had to deal with the weather that is snarling air traffic from the southeast all the way up to new england. Delta airlines will fly a million passengers between today and tomorrow. Control the entire operation of Delta Airlines from within this facility. Reporter dave holtz is Vice President of operations control. Theres a lot of green on that map. Whats a day like today like here . Its busy. Its busy. Green is not good. Green is precipitation. Its rain in this case. Reporter but the more than 1,300 Flight Cancellations caused by the storm is already twice as many as last years holiday rush. Airlines are warning passengers to expect delays. You have a room full of experts here that have to figure out how to get ahead of it for the customers. Delays arent necessarily bad for a customer if you tell them about it 24 hours early and they can plan accordingly. Reporter the concern heading into tomorrow is the ripple effect. If snow and ice affect travel in the northeast, scott, that could impact airports nationwide. Pelley manuel, thank you. About 12 times as many people will drive for the holiday, and jeff pegues is looking at the trouble with the roads. Reporter from the south to northeast, freezing rain, ice, and snow are coating the nations highways. It is a potentially dangerous holiday mix of trouble for travelers like Amanda Southard in kentucky. You can hardly see. It was kind of blinding. Reporter with the storm heading east, salt trucks have been on the roads ahead of the 39 Million People. Aaa spokesman expects to drive over the next five days. Its going to be very crowded, very slow, and its really going to require an attitude adjustment because, you know, the time you thought you might be able to make youre not going to be able to. Reporter scott, tomorrow is expected to be the busiest travel day of the year on the roads, just as the storm is expected to intensify in some areas. Pelley jeff, thanks very much. So what is next . Eric fisher is the chief meteorologist at our cbs boston station wbz. Eric, wheres it going . Reporter scott, right up the eastern seaboard. I95 corridor seeing heavy rain. The snow through ohio, northwestern pa, and western new york. The heaviest rainfall moves through d. C. And new york overnight tonight right around midnight. Tomorrow, places like boston down toward hartford, well be tracking the downpour. Still snow on the back edge. Tomorrow afternoon, still streams of downpours working up across the boston area. Its all gone as we head into tomorrow night. Perhaps more impactful than the rain is the snow, which will be significant in many areas, especially western new york, rochester down through buffalo, the finger lakes region, winter storm warnings up, treacherous travel and Power Outages expected there. When you wake up on thanksgiving, the story will be cold and wind. Pelley eric fisher, wbz. Thank you, eric. In another story today, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that centers on religious objections to obamacare. The president S Health Care law requires employers to pay for contraceptives, but some employers say that, that violates their deeply held beliefs. Reporter denverbased heating and air conditioning manufacturer Hercules Industries has a health plan for its employees, one that doesnt include contraception. Familyopened company is one of 44 businesses suing to stop the federal government from forcingt to cover Birth Control. Andy newland is company president. This case isnt about saying that people shouldnt have acsystem to those things. This case is saying we dont want to pay for it. Reporter newlanda family is catholic. The religion views artificial contraception as a sin. Under the Affordable Care act, Companies Like hercules with 50 or more employees must cover contraception. Can americans, including Family Businesses openers, live and do business according to our faith . Reporter how is that different from telling your employees you cant use Birth Control pildz . Were not saying dont go buy them were not putting up barricade in front of walmart. Were saying we dont want to pay for them. Reporter federal governments have split on this issue, so the Supreme Court now will consider whether corporations have the same individual rights as individua individuals. Kathleen sebelius is the secretary of health and human services. Its troubling to think that someone could pick and choose, not based on science, not based on health care not based on anything else, but pick and choose which services to provide to employees. That would be a troubling picture. Pelley anna werner is joining us now. Anna lets look in the future a little bit. What would happen if the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the administration, but the Company Still refused to cover Birth Control . Reporter well, at that point, scott, if Hercules Industries chose not to cover contraception, its attorneys say the company would face fines. How much . By their calculation, a company of that size, those fines could amount to as much as 26,000 per day. Pelley anna, thanks very much. The court is expected to hear arguments in this case in march. More positive signs in the economy today. The nasdaq composite closed above 4,000 for the first time in 13 years. Investors were encouraged by todays housing data. Home construction is up 13. 9 over the same time last year. Home prices are up 13. 3 over last year. All of this is feeding into a remarkable trend. Remember the millions of americans who have been upside down on their mortgages . Well, ben tracy has found that many are getting their heads above water. Reporter lesley and Jeff Grosvenor bought this two bedroom condominium near los angeles in 2009. They paid 535,000. By 2012, it was worth just 413,000, a 23 drop. They were underwater, meaning their house was worth less than their mortgage. As the market started to fall, how concerned were you . Very concerned. We had spent our life savings on the down payment, and we just thought, you know, what if what if we cant turn this around . Reporter home prices in the Los Angeles Area are now surging, up more than 20 in the past year. The grosvenors are about to sell their condo for 610,000, a 75,000 profit. Its helping us towards our down payment for our next house. Sure, we would have liked more but its a good start. Reporter california has seen the largest drop in the number of underwater mortgages. Nevada, texas, and minnesota are also having strong recoveries. Since peak, we pulled about five million home owners out of negative equity and more than three million in the past year alone. Reporter the grosvenors just had a baby. Now that they can move they plan to upgrade to a bigger home nearby. Ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. Pelley today the u. S. Military made a point of ignoring a new directive from china. It flew two american b52 bombers over disputed islands that are claimed by both china and japan. Over the weekend, china said that it had to approve any flights there. But the u. S. Considers this international airspace. The b52s had no problem. Tonight, president Obamas National Security adviser is flying home from afghanistan and emptyhanded. Susan rices mission was to persuade afghan President Hamid karzai to sign a new Security Agreement that will keep some u. S. Troops in afghanistan after the nato combat mission ends after next year. Major garretts at the white house. Reporter the white house says president karzai holds in his hands the future security of his country and the promise of 8 billion in annual u. S. Aid. That hand currently will not sign the Security Agreement the u. S. Thought was sealed and delivered. National security adviser susan rices facetoface meeting with the afghan president produced nothing but frustration. What i said to the president is we would have no choice. We would be compelled by necessity not by our preference to have to begin to plan for the prospect that we will not be able to keep our troops here because they will not be invited because the b. S. A. Will not have been signed. Reporter the b. S. A. , or bilateral Security Agreement, sets the rules for any u. S. Troops that would remain in afghanistan after combat operations end in december of 2014. Those troops would help train the afghan army and fight taliban cells. One Sticking Point u. S. Forces entering afghan homes. President obama sent karzai a letter last week saying raids would only occur under extraordinary circumstances involving urgent risk to life and limb of u. S. Nationals. Karzai wants the raids, mostly conducted at night, stopped all together. The afghan president also asked the u. S. To consider releasing up to 20 afghan prisoners from guatanamo bay. The white house says that will not happen. Its not clear, scott, how much time karzai has to cooperate. The u. S. Has said this agreement must be signed by december 31, but white house officials tell us thats a soft deadline that could easily slip into early next year. Pelley major, thank you.

Peace talks aimed at ending syrias civil war may be doomed before they start. Today, syrias main Opposition Group said it may not participate, and another rebel faction says it wont stop fighting, even if the talks take place. We were struck today by some video from damascus. Someone in the opposition was interviewing children about the relentless shelling of their neighborhood. Watch what happens next. A mortar landed, but amazingly, none of the children was injured. Among all of the weapons being used by the dictatorship, you can add one more hunger. And Clarissa Ward has been investigating that for us. Reporter it is one of the ugliest weapons being used in syrias civil war and children are most at risk. Activists accuse the Syrian Government of starving the own people. Neighborhoods like muadsmiya, a rebel stronghold on the outskirts of damascus, are surrounded by government troops. Residents told us syrian soldiers are blocking the delivery of all food and medicine. Graffiti warns people to kneel to president assad or starve. Can you hear me . We reached out to muadsmiya activist quasi zakaraya on skype. He told us about this 18month old girl, rana. She was born prematurely, and according to zakaraya, died in september when the special baby formula she needed ran out. I used to go and see her every couple of days to check on her. She was so adorable. Theres no words to describe what happened to her. Reporter the problem is now spilling across the border. Even for the families who manago to escape from syria, childhood malnutrition remains a serious threat. The sanitation in these refugee camps is poor, and food is limited. Shes two years old, so shes very small. Reporter linda berbari is a nutritionist with a Christian Charity in lebanon. She and her team comb the camps looking for vulnerable children. Her charity is treating more than 80 cases of malnutrition but she believes there are many more. In extreme cases, they just they have a blank face, and no expression. Even in younger ones, they just stop crying. Something just cannot happen in the 21st century, to see small kids dying from malnutrition and lack of food while you know that food is only five minutes away behind the assad checkpoints. Reporter but using hunger as a weapon is as old as war itself for the simple reason that its so effective. Clarissa ward, cbs news, the bekaa valley, lebanon.

Pelley today, cbs news released the results of an internal review of a 60 minutes report last month about the terrorist attack in benghazi, libya, that killed the u. S. Ambassador and three other americans. The review found the report by correspondent lara logan and producer Max Mcclellan was deficient in several respects. In the 60 minutes piece, dylan davies, a security contractor, told logan that he was at the consulate in benghazi and witnessed the attack, but it turned out he had earlier told the f. B. I. He was not there during the attack. The review by cbs news director of standards and practices al ortiz found logan and mcclellan did not sufficiently vet davies account of his own actions and whereabouts that night. The review said the fact that davies was telling conflicting stories was knowable before the piece aired. But the wider reporting resources of cbs news were not employed in an effort to confirm his account. At cbs news request, lara logan and Max Mcclellan are taking a leave of absence. Today, pope francis denounced trickledown economics as unfair to the poor as he presented a vision for his papacy in a 224 page document, the pope wrote that money must serve, not rule.

This is my income, so for them to be selling hundreds of these, theyre directly taking money out of my pocket. Reporter the return address pointed to nanjing, china. According to a paypal receipt, we found the man who received our online payment and set up a meeting and secretly videotaped it. He told us there was good money to be made selling copied art online.
