7:31 am
up everybody's informations and combing through that and that i think is really alarming and it really contradicts fundamental principles of our constitution. >> that information isn't just being collected. it's also being stored sometimes for decades. according to a new report the fbi is able to keep intelligence the longest. >> 20 to 30 years, basically, on the theory that it might be useful in the future. that information will only be don't rid of if it's going to be of no use to the fbi, or any of the other 16 agencies that are in the american intelligence community. >> those agencies include the nsa and the u.s. counterterrorism center. they can search information about a person's phone use for five years even if they've never been suspected of a crime. every month it's been revealed the nsa's supersecret ex-key score tracks more than 41 billion communications on the internet. in fact so much information is

7:34 am
call information on a certain fraction of the calls that they receive. >> is this new or always the way the nsa does their business? >> things have definitely changed over the last 20 or 30 years. it used to be there was a criminal and you would go and you would go to a court and you would get a warrant and then you would go to the company and you would say hey, i need this record on this particular individual, where there's probable cause and they'rement e suspected of some sort of crime. they are sifting through all the data to see if they can find who is calling who and what are the connections. >> you mentioned these phone calls. but there's a difference between collecting phone numbers and listening in on entire phone conversations. what does this tell us about the way the nsa is doing both? >> the most recent disclosure
7:35 am
what has allies upset is there seems to be an effort from the nsa to acquire information who the people are behind the phone calls. this isn't looking specifically into individual phone tapping, but the german chance more and who is calling her. >> german chancellor angela merkel, a two way street, on her land line and cell phone? >> yes. really what's happening, you can view this as saying the nsa going and saying who knows private numbers, we might not know whose number this is. we know know it's some specific phone number but they don't know that phone number belongs to the german prime minister and another one of their aallows.
7:36 am

7:40 am
hiv, one of the government's top aids scientists, dr. edward faucci. thank you for being with us. >> good to be with you. >> this child had an aggressive treatment. are newborns more likely to beat hiv than adults? >> i think there's two aspects to consider. first of all it was unusual she was treated virtually immediately after birth, less than 30 hours. usually, when there's a 20 or 30% chance of being in effected if the mother has not been treated which is the case with the mississippi mother, you don't treat baby until you document the mother was infected. they assumed the baby was going
7:41 am
to be infected, the mother received no therapy during pregnancy and they aggressively treated her. so that's the temperatures thing that weighed in favor of this result. the immediate treatment of the baby. the other thing is that by treating the baby that early, it did not allow the virus to establish itself in what we call reservoirs in the body that are very difficult to remove once they're established. and babies, with their immune system, don't have a very ma clur immune system which is the real target of those have reservoirs. so there were two things going on at the same time, the rapidity at which the tbeab was treated and it's an infant that doesn't have a mature immune system. >> the mother was not treated but can these results map in
7:42 am
adults? >> probably not the same extrapolation. adults don't know they're infected for a considerable period of time. i've been tearing care of patients for years now, and by if time they come in the recess voish is administrator established and sphriftsdz much, much more difficult to get rid of that reservoir. however, when you identify people very, very early, if someone says i'm infected, i had a sexual encounter and its feel likely i have the transmission, dealing with a single baby not a really large study, this needs to be replicated and repeated, even in babies before we even consider how this might impact
7:43 am
adults. >> thank you very much, dr. anthony faucci, joining us now from washington, d.c. thank you so much for being with us. >> urs welcome. >> more than 250 students are suffering from food poisoning. vectors are now questioning cafeteria workers. and our mark morgan is here with sports after a travel day the world series continues tonight, right mark in? >> boston's david tiz has added to his postseason classic. the only red sox player left, talk to jessica taff. >> work hard and try to do my

7:45 am
world series, mike metheny has a special hold against yadier molina. >> there was mike metheny now the team's manager was the catcher for the cardinals from 2000 to 2004. it was during that time that metheny was mentoring a young molina. >> that's why the relationships work so well, people act metheny, how do youing in guys you played with? we're not sure we want them to be our bosses but he was a mentor to yadier at that point, and he's a mentor now. >> he didn't make his nfl debut until metheny was injured.
7:46 am
now manager out of the starting job. >> when you look at the molina family classically you have three that are brilliant but yadier is able to call pitch sequencing. i think they saw that in the beginning. >> that gets us to today, meth erveghtsnmetheny and molina are. >> we're looking to -- are back. >> we are looking to right that ship. >> looking to do what at the could not, beat boston in the world series. >> he looks to him as a coach. asking him questions about the pitcher what he sees on the
