and good morning. this is your "am: wakeup call." from the time warner center in new york i'm carol costello. here are top stories. reopening old wounds, a vigil at virginia tech university after another deadly shooting on campus. we're learning an officer and another person were shot by the same gun. the senate has voted down both republican and democratic compromise proposals to extend the payroll tax break into next year. you could lose $1,000 in take home pay if they don't agree on a deal. iran showing off what it claims is the top secret u.s. drone that went down within its borders. even though the u.s. admitted it lost an aircraft some experts are saying the one they're showing is phony. let's get a check of today's weather. rob marciano is in atlanta. so it's friday. >> it is friday. >> expecting great weather everywhere. >> not to get everybody robbed on the way home, today is payday. >> that is fantastic. >> i was reminded of that all morning. good morning. hope it's your payday and friday. a lot of people work the weekends. we have cold air to start this friday morning. check it out across the country, 9 degrees in minneapolis, 25 chicago, 36 in new york city. finally, you know, we were topsy turvy there for a while, now it's back to normal. but it is definitely december and we are feeling the pinch as it stands right now. fairly quiet, though. little clipper system moving across the midwest. little bit of light snow from chicago. they had a slow start to winter there, now they're getting it. cleveland slight snow and that will be lake effect enhanced. 50 in new york, 58 in atlanta. if you're taking your payday money and getting on a flight we'll go over the flight delays in 15 minutes. >> that's what i'm doing. i'm taking my payday money and getting on a plane. >> you go. >> thank you, rob. first big news out of the european crisis summit, eu leaders agreed on a deal to try to resolve the continent's debt crisis, one that threatened the world's economy. under the new deal the european central bank will manage bailout funds and eu leaders have decided to add 200 billion euros to the international monetary fund which has assisted in the bailouts of struggling european economies like greece. britain and three other companies, though, refuse to back the deal. the french president nicolas sarkozy who helped broker the deal, talked about why. >> translator: in order to accept a reform of 27 member treaty, david cameron requested something which we all considered was unacceptable, namely, that there be a protocol written into the treaty which enabled the u.k. to opt out of a certain number of rules applying to financial services. we were not able to accept that because we consider quite the contrary, that a very large or substantial amount of the problems we're facing around the world are the result of lack of regulation of financial services and, therefore, we cannot have a waiver for the united kingdom. >> so, will this win back the confidence of panicky markets? u.s. futures they're trading slightly higher this morning. new information on the virginia tech shooting. police confirming that both people were killed by the same gun in an apparent murder/suicide. students holding a vigil late last night after a gunman shot and killed a police officer and then apparently turned the gun on himself. police say they have dash cam video from the police cruiser that shows the gunman and he appears to be the same person they found dead on the road. this all happening nearly five years after the deadliest campus shooting in u.s. history and changes made after the tragedy were put to the test yesterday. the school locking down campus and using a high-tech alert system to warn students and faculty members to stay indoors. virginia tech police have identified the murdered officer as deriek crouse, 39 years old, married with five children and step children. a tax hike is looming for millions of american families in 2012. the senate voted down both republican and democratic compromise proposals to exit tend the payroll tax break into next year. it's now setting up a showdown between president obama and congress. the president saying he won't go on holiday break and neither will congress if this isn't settled. and we're keeping an eye on occupy camp in boston. a midnight deadline came and went for wall street protesters to clear out, but police have not moved in yet like they have in dozens of other cities from new york to los angeles and most recently in san francisco. former penn state football coach jerry sandusky free on $250,000 bail this morning after spending a night in jail. police arrested him wednesday on ten additional charges of molesting children after two new accusers came forward. one of them told the grand jury that sandusky's wife ignored his screams for help while sandusky raped him in the basement. well now dottie sandusky has released a statement denying that saying, as the mother of six children i have been devastated by these accusations and also angry about these false accusations that such a terrible incident ever occurred in my home. she went on to say, i continue to believe in jerry's innocence and all the good things he has done. a republican congresswoman says heads should roll as attorney general eric holder testifies about the botched fast and furious gun-running program. congressman jim sessen brenner grilling the attorney general again over what he knew about the operation and when he knew it. >> what are you going to do to clean up this mess? >> well, first let me make something very clear, and in response to an assertion that you made or hinted at, nobody in the justice department has lied. >> why was the letter withdrawn? >> the letter was withdrawn because of information in there that was inaccurate. the justice department letter of february -- >> okay. tell me what's the difference between lying and misleading congress? in this context? >> well, if you want to have this legal conversation, it all has to do with your state of mind and whether or not you had the requisite intent to come up with something that can be considered perjury or a lie. >> the operation allowed illegally bought guns to get into the hands of mexican drug cartel or gun cartels rather. two of the guns i should say were found at the scene of a murdered u.s. border patrol agent. iran showing off what it claims is a top-secret stealthy looking u.s. drone that went down within its boarders. u.s. officials are admitting they lost a plane like it but officials inside the pentagon aren't saying whether it is the drone that ended up on iranian state television. did iran pull a bait and switch? our pentagon correspondent chris lawrence has the latest. >> reporter: new video on iranian tv shows what iran says is a u.s. drone that crashed within its borders. but by putting it out on state tv for all to see, iran has sparked a "csi" type investigation into its prized capture. within the pentagon, uncertainty. >> we haven't recovered the drone that we believe is missing. >> reporter: one u.s. official says they can't be 100% certain it's real, but it would be hard to fake. a second official says, flat out, the drone was not designed to survive a crash like that intact from high altitude. >> you can almost see it here, see some dents along the leading edge, and probably the undersurface, you know, might well be pretty banged up. >> reporter: analysts disagree too. bill sweetman thinks it's real. the drone wasn't shot down and could have glided to earth in what sweetman calls a falling leaf descent. >> and so, you know, you would see in that case fairly limited damage. >> reporter: global security.org analyst john pike calls what iran showed off nothing more than a parade float. he says, the wings here droop down, whereas in most pictures of the sentinel, the wings are positioned higher for better stability. the bigger question, what was the drone doing when it crashed? a u.s. official says it was a cia mission, strictly to search for them in afghanistan. they point out it's a staelts drone designed to penetrate areas with defenses. it's hard to believe the drone was strictly operating over afghanistan which has none. >> so it could have been used in iran, it could have been deliberately used in iran, it's very likely, in fact, that it was a reconnaissance platform of choice to do precisely that. >> reporter: a u.s. official says satellite footage shows the drone's wreckage to be a pile of rubble, so, iran does have what's left of the drone, but in what condition is the issue? chris lawrence, cnn, the pentagon. it's a sound bite that may end up in a future campaign ad. president obama responding to gop critics that he's appeasing in his foreign policy. listen. >> ask osama bin laden and the 22 out of 30 top al qaeda leaders who have been taken off the field whether i engage in appeasement. >> the president also defended his efforts to block iran from developing a nuclear weapon saying his administration has imposed the toughest sanctions on iran ever. he's placed all his chips on winning the iowa caucus. republican candidate rick santorum is picking up a big endorsement in the state, iowa secretary of state matt schultz is expected to back santorum today. he's considered a rising star in the republican party. also, this is big, schultz threw his support back behind mitt romney in 2008, but santorum is only pulling at 5% in iowa in the latest poll. still to come, imagine missing a billion dollars and one of the people in charge simply says, i don't know where it is. we have details of that hearing. a second chance at life for a death row inmate and he has social media to thank. we'll explain. we're getting a glimpse of what happened moments after dominique strauss-kahn walked out of his hotel room, the day a housekeeper claims she was raped by him. pro-gresso they fit! okay-y... okay???

>> you know, there aren't too many bad places to travel to, how does that sound? fairly tranquil weather compared to what we've seen the last couple weeks. a chilly start and the highlight is the midwest or the lower great lakes more specifically, where the snow is falling at this hour. but shouldn't be terrible as far as accumulations are concerned. for the most part it's light, fairly dry system, but it will aggravate the great lakes a little bit and great lake-effect snow. chicago, traveling through that city, cleveland and detroit, those are the cities that will see light snow showers throughout the day and may slow things down in general, it should stay below an hour as far as what the weather-related delays are concerned. there's your alberta clipper, white front that's moving across the great lakes and that's about it. we'll take that after what we've endured the past two weeks. temperatures, it's december. so right around where we should be this time of year, maybe a little chillier than average in chicago. 29 degrees. 16. bring the scarf and the hat, wool hat, if you're traveling to minneapolis. it is winter after all. back to you. >> that's true. there's a lot of options out there because, you know, it's christmas shopping season. there are a lot of options for hat, scarves and gloves out there. >> that's right. you know. i'm sure you look cute -- >> i might buy some. >> get you some. deliberate air strike. that's what two pakistani lawmakers are calling the nato attack that killed 24 of their troops last month. they say no other explanation makes any sense, but the united states still insists it was an accident. so let's bring in zain verjee live in london. any way to definitively determine who's right? >> no, not really. it's pakistan's word against the u.s. now what's happened is, is that this is just serving to add fuel to the fire and just ratchet up the tension that already exists between the two countries. these two lawmakers went to the senior briefing by a pakistani military official and they then came out and said that nato forces knew that these were pakistani checkpoints. they went on to say all these checkpoints are very clearly marked so there was no way that nato wouldn't know that these are pakistani checkpoints and one of them said it was a deliberate attack, it was a planned attack. so relations very strained over this, but the u.s. keeps insisting it wasn't a deliberate attack, it was an accident and expresses its regret. carol? >> on another topic, the surveillance video that has surfaced of the former imf boss, dominique strauss-kahn and the woman accused of raping him, this video surfaced and it's kind of shocking. >> yeah. i mean, have you seen it? it's a little bit weird and we don't know exactly, you know, which side it will support, but let me show you the video and show you what it has here. you have scenes of dominique strauss-kahn in the lobby checking out of the hotel, but what you're looking at right now is a basement video of two hotel employees kind of dancing around and high-fiving each other and celebrating, who knows why. that was weirdpp and dominique strauss-kahn as you see him checking out, he looks pretty relaxed, doesn't look nervous at all, he leaves the sofitel hotel, gets into his car. what is also on this video is diallo, his accuser, in one instance she seemed subdued and then in the next instance, she seems kind of enraged a little bit and pushes around a security officer. so who knows what all of this means. dominique strauss-kahn's lawyers are saying this supports the idea that a conspiracy because why would these guys be celebrating in the basement? diallo's lawyer says that this supports the fact that she was really disturbed after this incident. i think it raises more questions than answers. >> so the guys who were celebrates in the basement, did they know her? were they friends of hers? >> it's not really clear. here they are. i mean you can see they do a little jig and they're believed to be hotel staff. we just don't really know. but we know that this was caught on camera and that this happened immediately after the 911 call was placed as well. i think it's the timing that makes that little dance there look suspect. >> wow. and there's a civil case out there, right? >> yes. >> yeah. i'm sure they're going to use that as a bit of evidence. it's interesting. strange case. zain verjee, live in london, thanks so much. developing overnight, european leaders strike a new deal in the hopes of solving the euro debt crisis. some countries are refusing to back the plan. a significant drop in numbers when talking about household wealth. we'll take a look at what's causing this decline. it's 20 minutes past the hour. this is your "am: wakeup call." ] [ male announcer ] still getting dandruff?
