Investigators are gathering wreckage in a place where militants loyal to isis operate. So far no evidence anyone took the plane down but air france, Qatar Airways are among the growing number of carriers avoiding that air space. Reporter the search area for victims has been widened and with it the mystery of what caused it. Russian aviation Officials Say the debris is spread over eight square mile. Egyptian Officials Say a body of a child had been found five miles from the wreckage. There is every indication the destruction occurred in the air, Russian Federal aviation head said, at high altitude. More than 100 Russian Emergency workers have been sent to help in the search for victims and 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 exdid of the debris field has focused attention on a claim of responsibility by an i. S. Affiliate. The group is known to have surfacetoair missiles but their effective range is 10,000 feet. A number of airlines have ordered their pilots not to fly below 25,000 feet over the sinai and the russian plane was even high where contact was lost. Egyptian president el 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 two days and theyve ordered the company that owned the airliner to ground all the a321 airbuss in its fleet and check them. Well bring in michael morrell, former number two at the cia and our cbs news Senior Security contributor. Theyre looking at similar planes for potential mechanic mechanical issues but the isis affiliate in the sinai has claimed responsibility. What do you make of that . Its hard to say what the claim means at this point. The isis affiliate 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 turn out to be wrong. I dont put a lot of stock in the claim of credibility at this point. Is it at all realistic to believe that a surfacetoair missile could hit a plane at that altitude . 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 surfacetoair missiles, some manned pads that are portable. Those kind of systems cant reach that altitude. A number of airlines saying theyre not going to fly over this area. What are we to make of that . I think its prudence. We dont know what happened here. As long as we dont know what happened, its probably prudent to avoid the area. Michael morrell, thank you very much. Signup started today for Health Insurance under the Affordable Care act year three.

Reporter the Affordable Care act requires every state to set up a marketplace for the uninsured or allow the federal government to do so.

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 theyre not race reasons. Reporter steven bright, a veteran Death Penalty attorney, is representing foster. He went through the prosecution teams notes and says 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 circled next to the race question on questionnaires. And in this list of possible jurors titled definite no, the top five people are black. During closing arguments the prosecutor urged thealwhite 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.

As Maria Villareal reports its a recurring problem with whales swimming closer and closer to shore. Reporter by the time rescuers reached this humpback whale, more than 40 feet long and weighing 40,000 pounds, it was dragging two long lines of rope stuck in its mouth and trailing past its tail.

This animal had this in tow. Even after the team up northcutt 1 north cut 100 feet of line off. Reporter russell assisted in the rescue. Similar to the way a fisherman would pull in a big fish, they pulled in a humpback whale. This whale i believe in the end knew we were there to help and allowed us to cut the gear free. Reporter rescuers freed another whale last week. Two other recent attempts failed. Since january there have been at least 50 whales caught 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, hooks all over. 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.

Jill schlessinger, where is the consumer right now . Were almost seven years from the official end of the recession. People are not feeling confident. Weve got 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 predicting this could be a flat season from last year. Maybe up just a little bit. Which is interesting because millions of new jobs created over the past year, the unemployment right is 5. 1 , gas prices 80 cents cheaper than last year. People should have more money to spend. Yes, and economists 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 pretty healthy. And yes, although the labor landscape has improved we are still only 2. 2 higher with wages. I think that is really sticking into the american mindset. Have retailers given some indication where theyre at or what theyre expecting . We know based on how many employees they plan to hire. Mixed news. Amazon up 25 over last year. 100,000 temp workers for the holidays. Walmart flat at 60,000. Toys r us down by 11 at 40,000.

This weeks new edition of 60 minute sports, we got an inside look at the making of a megaprospect. Reporter weve heard this story before. The precocious child who exhibits an almost spooky talent at a very, very young age. His parents, brian and kelly, say they nader push nor discouraged his obsession with hockey. My perspective was we owed it to him to give him every opportunity to be successful. And if success didnt follow, we would deal with that as a family. Because first and foremost were still a family. It was pretty clear to me from a young age he was a talented hockey player. And he had a gift that others didnt have.
