Glad to be here. Anthony mason has a much deeded day off. A terror attack at a mosque in egypt left hundreds dead and many injured. So far no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Charlie dagata is following developments from our London Bureau and he has the latest. Charlie, good morning. Reporter good morning. Egypt vowed to respond to the attack with an iron fist. Within hours they launched their fighter jets after the worst attack in the countrys recent history. Theyre claiming to show fighter jets targeting vehicles used in yesterdays attack that they said killed suspected militants inside and zeroing in on hideouts while outside the hospital exhausted medics loaded ambulances with more victims they simply were not able to save. The bloodstained walls inside the mosque tell of the horror that unfolded when as many as 30 armed militants set off a bomb during fridays prayers and gunned down as many worshipper as they could as they tried to escape, even opening fire on emergency vehicles trying to tend to the wounded. Egyptian president has vowed to respond with brutal force to those behind the attacks. For years the Sinai Peninsula has been a Fertile Ground for groups like isis. In the past the militant group has targeted egyptian soldiers and security forces. Isis in the sinai also claim responsibility for twin bombings on Christian Churches that left 45 dead and killing a bus load of christian pilgrims earlier this year. But yesterdays attack was the first ever largescale assault on a mosque. Worshippers there practice the sufi branch of islam which isis has branded as blasphemous. A place that provides peace and sanctuary yesterday provided neither one. That staggering death toll amounts to about 10 of the population. Thank you, charlie. President trump called president al sisi to offer his condolences. After the attack the president said we have to get tougher and smarter than ever before. Need the wall, need the ban. He was talking about the proposed wall with mexico and the travel ban on sum muslim countries. The President Trump acknowledged he played golf this time with some of the great. Errol barnett is traveling with the president. Errol, good morning. Reporter good morning. Yes, President Trump ended the week making a rare admission that he played golf, dropping a few big names in the process and facing a new development in the russia investigation, this plus a few diplomatic calls, making it a busy working vacation. Mr. President reporter at a Florida Golf Club bearing his name. President trump shared the green with golf greats Dustin Johnson and tiger woods as well as pga pro faxon. Hes spent all of 126 days at trump branded quarters. During the campaign he criticized president obama for spending time on the golf course and promised to separate himself from his company. In addition he spoke with two foreign leaders. He spoke with president ial sisi to offer condolences after g gunmen attacked a mosque as well as Diplomatic Solutions they think could potentially end the syrian civil wall. Back in washington issues await the President Trump. Cbs news learned that former National Security adviser Michael Flynn cut off communications with the president s legal team. Michael flynn is a good person. He stepped down after he lied to Vice President pence about his communications with Sergey Kislyak during the president ial election. To my knowledge he did not collude with anybody to influence the campaign. Reporter flynn came under scrutiny by robert mueller. If Michael Flynn did something wrong by not disclosing the relationships he had with turkey and other governments, then he should be held accountable for that. Reporter now, the fact that flynn cut off communications with the president s legal team suggests he is now cooperating with special counsel mueller, however, President Trumps personal lawyer says theyre actually not concerned about that. In a report, jay sekulow said if its a plea deal, which they suspect, it doesnt mean it has anything to do with the president. Tony. Errol barnett traveling with the president. Thank you. Time magazine is talking about one of president s tweets. He tweeted time probably chose him as person of the year but he chose not to. They responded mr. President is incorrect. They named mr. Trump person of the year last year, 2016. For much needed perspective, what is going on in washington, were joined by gabriel debenedetti. Good morning. Good morning. Lets start with the Michael Flynn news. The white house says theyre not concerned. How nervous do you think they are about the fact that mr. Flynn may be cooperating with special prosecutors . Lets be clear. Theyre certainly not concerned. Theyre very worried about this. This has been a very real possibility for a long time, but the real worry here is that he could be cooperating, and therefore implicating someone higher up the food chain. There arent many people higher up the food chain. What the white house is saying hes talking to them about a plea deal and thats been long expected. It remains to be seen what this is actually going to mean, but the white house is definitely nervous. The practices of mueller tell us hes likely going for bigger fish if hes looking to strike a deal with flynn. Is that the understanding . Yeah. Thats what theyre expecting. The question is who would the bigger fish be . Theres the president , the Vice President , jared kushner. We shouldnt expect anything. There are a lot of issues on the table. Ever since the Manafort Indictment a few weeks ago, the white house has really been on edge and it remains to be seen. Go ahead. Do you have a sense of the time line were working on in terms of the special investigation . No. And the white house used to say this was all going to be done by thanksgiving, 2017, which, of course, did not happen. That has passed. That has passed. So this is a real headache for the white house because theyve been saying this will be over soon, theyre wrapping up. All indication is thats not the case and were still in for a few more months of this. Mule ens is expected the interview hope hicks. Thats getting close to the president. Shes been with him for a long time compared to the other folks. What this tells us is this is really getting close to the top. We dont know if these people are implicated in anything bad, but the reality is if theyre talking about hope hicks, someone whos been on the campaign trail and working with the president for years, that means this goes all the way up. In the meantime republicans in congress would very much like to see tax reform pass. Theyve set a deadline for the end of year. What does that mean . Im going to hedge a little bit. Weve had more twists and turns. Its likely theyre going to try to pass something. What we dont know is what thats going to look like. Theyre desperate to get some sort of legislative achievement on the table. They havent really passed any of their big legislative pry yorlts. The other issue looming over washington this week is sexual misconduct, harassment. Weve got al franken, john conyers. What is this moving us toward . Are there going to be reforms . A change in the culture . The real answer is theres going to be a reckoning on capitol hill. The question is when and what is this going to look like . There are going to be reforms in the reporting process on capitol hill. Weve already seen suggestions that thats happening and theres a lot of chatter about many more names coming up of people who have been involved in this kind of behavior. We dont know what that is. Gabe, just before we go, the Trump Administration is engaged in a fight about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Were going to talk a little bit more about that later in the hour. But tell us about where the sort of back and forth is at this point. Yes. So Richard Cordray who was at the top of the bureau has just stepped down. Theres a lot of speculation hes going to run for ghonch in ohio. Theyre going to make mulvaney, the budget director, in charge of the bureau. But cordray says his deputy should be in charge of the bureau. So theres a real standoff about whos going to be the body that protects consumers. This is the fight where we dont know where its going. It seems like a lawsuit is imminent. Well see. Stay tuned. Gabe debenedetti. Thanks as always. The Holiday Shopping season is here, and online sales are booming. According to Adobe Analytics online, shoppers spent more than 3. 5 billion by 8 00 p. M. On black friday. That is an increase of nearly 16 from a year ago. While there has been talk of the death of black friday for years, most purchases still happen at brick and mortar stores. Adriana dias is at macys Flagship Store here in new york. Adriana, good morning. Reporter thats right. Experts told us even though black friday sales are starting earlier and earlier every year and, of course, people are still buying online, black friday is still relevant, and it sure was here at macys. It was so busy the cash registers were having a trouble processing because of a systemwide slowdown. Everything was pretty much 50 off or buy one get one. I got a fabulous bedding set for almost 50 off. It was worth it, man. I waited all year for this. I buy things that people are telling me thats on sale. Reporter all across the country, shoppers lined up and then spilled into stores for deep discounts. While some retailers started rolling out the deals as far back as october, tradition brought Suzanne Graham out to the mall on black friday. For 25 years Three Sisters get together. Its a sacred day. We get together and do all of our shopping. Its up from 4 51 million last year. They want to get out and spend and have a good holiday time this season. Reporter when all is said and done, consumers will have spent 1. 4 trillion this Holiday Season says cbs business corresponde correspondent. A lot of retailers make half their revenue for the year in that time. Itsve more critical now because amazon is really acen dant. Theyre scooping up all of the money. Richard berry said thats why his stores are providing unique individual experiences. This year we launched our fan vault. Were bringing collectible products. Yes, kids love all of those products, gu guess what . Adults love them much more. Of course theres those cute items maybe you wouldnt admit you want but secretly you do. Reporter now that black friday is behind us, were looking forward to siesh monday. Target and walmart will have thousands of discounts online and amazon will off up to 50 on some gadgets. Shoppers are expected to to spend 6. 6 million on monday. Alex . Omg. Retailers are changing. Next month, the fcc is expected to wipe out internet neutrality. They were put in place by president obama preventing internet providers from blocking or slowing access to certain websites. Critics say eliminating these rules could put smaller Web Companies at an increased disadvantage and increase the cost for consumers. We want to break this all down. I the we need a metaphor to open this up. Is it a information super highway thats going to need an extra lane . Think of it like an electricity grid. Your utility cant tell you what to plug into the grid. You can plug in whatever you want. But what if they say, we like it that you use microwaves. Wed rather have now not use refridge rares. Were going to make the electricity flee slower to your refrigerator. Theyre are going to be winners and losers. Right now Internet Companies are powerless. With these rules it is possible they would say, you know what . We would rather you not make phone calls over the internet, or we would rather you not watch movies on netflix but through our great Cable Service so, therefore, were going to throttle back the speeds. Maybe well block them entirely. Maybe well offer our services in a way that it doesnt hit your data cap. We can favor some services and punish others. So not all informing would be treated equally on its face necessarily. Thats right. I can imagine Many Americans saying its not fair. So what is the fcc chairman arguing for making the case for dropping these rules . The argument is the government has been mike crow managing and its unfair regulation on Internet Service providers and if we relieve them of this burden theyll be able to invest more in spreading broadband. There is a need. The internet is very slow because of the pipes and tubes carrying the information, theyre not very good. Is there a case to be made on it . Im not a big fan of the argument. I dont know that the argument is this the profits of Cable Companies and phone companies have been so slim that they havent been able to invest in these areas. Thats their argument. I dont know. I think the bigger problem is there isnt enough consumer demand there to pay out the investment. And when you talk about consumer demand, are we looking at land scape where certain consumers can afford to pay for better sites if they want to . Thats part of it. It could be youre charged for different kinds of services. Its also possible the Internet Companies themselves are charged. So if you want your service to be delivered as quickly as possible, you have to pay these Internet Service providers to get in the fast lanes. Again, thats not a big problem for netflix or facebook but for the Younger Companies who cant afford to pay each different isp some extra fee, it could really hurt their business. Keep in mind some of these Big Companies started out as small companies. Thats right. Thats why a lot of them, google, facebook, would stand to benefit, but theyre all speaking out against it. Jason tanner, thank you for the explanation. The New York Times reports on a possible legal fight to decide who will run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau now that two people have been tapped to lead the agency. Before resigning on friday, director Richard Cordray who was promoted by president obama served. However, President Trump said Mick Mulvaney would lead. Watchdogs fear mulvaney will gut its powers. A woman was fatally shot by a neighbor who thought she was a deer. Rosemary billquist was walking her three dogs. They used a highpowered gun used for deerhunting. So far no charges have been fired. The facility northwest of stockholm is using recycled wood and trash as part of its goal to become fossilfuelfree by 2020. It also turns out theyre also burning clothes that the retailer h m cant sell. Thats because theyre feeding the trash theyre not burning. Somehow there must be a more efficient way. Im going go back to that story. Washington post said a californias man who wants to prove the world is flat will have to wait. How about that. He was hoping to take off today in his homemade scrap metal rocket for a 500mileperhour fight some 1,800 feet over the mohave desert, but he could not get permission to conduct the test over public land. Hes hoping to launch over private property and we hope to have a camera there. Mike, i think the jurys in on this. The planet may not be a flat its the hashtag that launched an online movement. Still ahead this morning, how the simple words me too have empowered victims of Sexual Harassment and raised awareness of the extent of the problem. Later, it was a small budget film that had a huge impact. Its been almost 30 years since spike lee released his debut film shes got to have it. Now hes streaming it as a tv series and its come at an appropriate time. Well talk with the director. Youre watching cbs this morning. Small businesses get a big assess between black friday and cyber monday, today is Small Business saturday. Well look at the status
