Heres Major Garrett. Reporter marco rubio tried to restart the Campaign Engine that stalled at saturdays debate when he was faulted for repeating the same phrase over and over. And lets disspell once and for all with this fiction that barack obama doesnt know what hes doing. He knows exactly what hes doing. We are not facing a president that doesnt know what hes doing. He knows what he is doing. Reporter Chris Christie called it the mark of a wellversed amateur. This notion that barack obama doesnt know what hes doing is just not true. There it is. There it is. The memorized 25second speech. There it is, everybody. Reporter on cbs this morning, rubio dug in. The core of this campaign is that statement, and i am going to continue to say it. Barack obama is deliberately carrying out a strategy to change america. He wants the redefine this country. Reporter rubio loyalists has been lost. General kasich and jeb bush both with superior New Hampshire organizations are gaining ground. Hampshire. Theyre going to knock on everybodys doors, whether it doesnt mattered. Were marching and were going to have a great tuesday. Reporter bush and New Hampshire frontrunner donald trump spent the day exchanging insults. Hes like a child. Hes like a spoiled child. He spent 110 million on a campaign, and hes nowhere. Reporter bush hit back, calling trump a liar and a whiner. He doesnt have the temperament to be president , and whenever i have a chance to describe what i think about him, im going to do it. Reporter so why does trump go after bush so of theen . Bush raises money like no other public rival, which makes him an ongoing threat. Scott, thats why trump would like the vanquish bush here if he. Can. Pelley Major Garrett at a trump rally in New Hampshire tonight. Major, thank you. Cbs news will host the next republican debate. Thats coming up this saturday evening from greenville, south carolina. Of course, John Dickerson is the moderator. The campaign is an insult to voters according to form new york mayor michael bloomberg. Considering an independent run. He told the the Financial Times that voters deserve a lot better. Bloomberg was a democrat, switched to republican, and is now an independent. On the democratic side of things, Hillary Clinton trails Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire by ten points after beating him in iowa by the narrowest of margins. Heres nancy cordes. Reporter clinton got some backup on this final day from a large group from arkansas, women shes known for 30 years. Shes so compassionate. Shes so smart. She has that consistent message. She is the best qualified. But it does make history. Reporter that notion gave clinton an eightpoint advantage with women in the 2008 primary, but here in New Hampshire in four points. In iowa, women under 30 went for sanders over clinton 61. Undecided young women . I have a message for all undecided voters. Please, vote with your head and your heart. Reporter the soft support from younger women prompted former secretary of state Madeleine Albright to issue this warning this weekend. Just remember, theres a special place in hell for women who dont help each other. [cheering and applause] reporter its a catchphrase albright has employed for decades, but in this context, it put off some female sanders supporters, like this woman. Im a feminist. Im not interested in voting for someone solely because theyre a woman. I dont think that does us any good. So i am not against hillary by any means, but im for bernie. Reporter feminist icon Gloria Steinem didnt help when she tried explain sanders appeal to young women this way. When youre young, youre thinking, where are the boys, the boys are with bernie. Reporter steinem later apologized for whats been misinterpreted for implying that the challenge is for clinton to find ways to make young women feel inspired, not obligated, especially when sanders is also pushing for things like equal pay for women and paid family leave. Pelley nancy cordes. Nancy, thanks. Voters fighting a blizzard of insults will have some real snow to deal with. Much of new england is getting socked by a storm blowing in from the atlantic. In connecticut a bus headed to a casino flipped on i95. 30 people were hurt. Some were taken to the hospital. In another important story tonight, after five years of stalemate, syrias civil war may be reaching a turning point. The assad dictatorship, now backed by relentless russian air strikes, is close to surrounding the town of aleppo, the rebel stronghold. Thousands have fled only to be caught in a nomansland on the today the u. N. Described the dictators offensive on civilians as extermination. Holly williams has been reporting on the horror of this war, which is also captured in these pictures youre about to see. Reporter another child victim of a war that even adults struggle to understand. This little boy was trapped under a slab of concrete until volunteer rescue workers managed to free him. We cant independently verify these videos, but they appear to show the death and devastation of a brutal offensive by the Syrian Regime around the city of aleppo, backed by russian air strikes. With the help of its ally iran on the ground, the Syrian Regime has almost entirely surrounded miles from the turkish border. Thats where tens of thousands of civilians have fled for their lives, though they still havent been allowed to cross into safety. Turkey has absorbed more than two millan Syrian Refugees and now says it has reached its limit, leaving these exhausted people stranded. Mohamad eid Hussein Al Ahmad is a spokesman for a Syrian Rebel Group thats fighting the regime in aleppo and told us they have now lost their main supply route. How long can you hold out . How long is it until aleppo falls to the regime . I cant say for sure how long it will be until aleppo falls to the regime or iran and russia, he told us. Well stand and fight whoever attack us. The syrian rebels, some of which are backed by the u. S. , rose up against the regime nearly five years ago. Syria would be divided between isis on one hand and the regime, which has indiscriminately bombed its own people. Pelley Holly Williams covering the war for us tonight. Holly, thank you. Tonight the u. S. And pacific allies are considering how to respond to north koreas latest Missile Launch. The missile reached orbit but in theory could have easily reached the united states, as well. The u. N. Has banned these tests and heres david martin. Reporter the north korean launch, which was watched by its brash young leader, succeeded in putting a satellite into space. But u. S. Officials say it is tumbling in orbit. It is the second time north korea has tried but failed to put a satellite in stable orbit. The newest one is circling the earth at a height of about 300 miles in a roughly northsouth orbit that took it over the super bowl about an hour after the game ended. Shortly before the game, president obama told gayle king of cbs this morning the launch worried about north korea. This is an authoritarian regime, its provocative. It has repeatedly violated u. N. Resolution, tested and produced Nuclear Weapons, and now theyre trying to perfect their Missile Launch systems. Reporter the threestage rocket carrying the satellite was launched saturday night from north koreas space launch facility and could be seen flying south over water. Never posing a threat to the united states, which had its Missile Defense system on alert just in case. The satellite is roughly the same size as a nuclear warhead. When combined with last months underground nuclear explosion, north korea seems slowly but surely to be developing a longrange missile that could hit the u. S. With a nuclear weapon. The u. S. And south korea immediately announced they would begin talks on sending a new Missile Defense system to the peninsula. In effect adding another layer to the system used to protect south korea. The white house says the u. S. Additional sanctions against a country that is already an economic basket case, but so far, scott, nothing has succeeded in convincing north korea to give up its Nuclear Weapons program. Pelley david martin at the pentagon tonight. David, thank you. In that interview with the president , gayle king also wanted to know how mr. Obama has changed after years of challenges such as north korea and syria. Reporter im curious about how the presidency has changed you as a president , its now eight years new york how youve changed as a president and how youve changed as a man during the time youve been in office. You know, i think my basic character is unchanged. And michelle and Close Friends of mine who have known me for years would say hes the same guy. Theres obviously some hardwon wisdom from overcoming hard problems. I told somebody in another interview, though, that probably the most important thing, and maybe this is just a function of age as well as having been around the track a while as president , you lose that fear. You lose that sense of, oh, what if something goes wrong, because there are going to be things that go wrong. You lose that tightness that comes from being very selfconscious about not making mistakes. At a certain point, you know, you realize, look, you do your best, you make your call, you make your decision. Most of the time its going to work, but its not going to work perfectly. Youre going to have to continue to make adjustments. That gives you a certain confidence that allows do you play a little bit better. Pelley the president with gayle king in the oval office. Gayle, i cant remember ever seeing the president and first reporter you know why you cant remember, scott . Its never happened. Its first time they ever sat together live. And its the first tomb i ever interviewed a president and first lady live.
