North Korean spy satellite launch fails

North Korea's first attempt at launching a new spy satellite ended in failure earlier Wednesday. It malfunctioned and plunged into the sea shortly after taking off, triggering emergency alerts and brief evacuation warnings in parts of South Korea and Japan. Both countries, as well as the U.S., have condemned the launch as a violation of the U.N. Security Council resolutions. CBS News senior foreign correspondent Elizabeth Palmer has the latest.
