if you missed it you are not alone. february 29th comes around one every four years. most of the time. jamie wax has the confusing story of the extra day. >> every four years we have to squeez an extra day into february. except we don't add an extra day every four years if that year is evenly divisible by 100 and also divisible by 400. if that sound confusing, it is. we decided to dig into what leap years are all about. started with one special leap day birthday girl. >> daisy bell ward appeared in sun day's finest for her birthday party this weekend. >> isn't she beautiful? >> she was born on february 29, 1916, making her america's oldest living leap baby. >> amazing. >> you made it. >> yeah. >> reporter: the bash complete
2:50 am
years. according to the calendar her 25th birthday. daisy seemed to embrace the latter. why does daisy's birthday only come around once every four years? do you know why we have a leap year? >> no. >> no. >> probably something about the sun. >> the seasons and, global warming. >> i don't know. >> el nino. >> reporter: we decided might be best to consult an expert. theoretical physicist. why do we need a leap year? >> mother nature has a sense of humor. did not make a calendar when you go around the sun in 3465 days. what we learn in school. no, mother nature made it so every 365 days plus 5:49 and few odd seconds. that means that every year we have to compensate for one
2:51 am
after four years we have to add one more day. so when did we figure out the need for this extra day it? was bay back in 46 bc. julius caesar realized the calendar wasn't working. consulted with an astronomer. they realized what the egyptians had already discovered. we need an extra day every four years to stay on track. so he instituted the julian calendar. even that wasn't quite right. the solar year is .242 longer, not even .25. when we add a full day every four years we are left with surplus of 11 minutes every year. that can start to add up. finally in 1582, pope gregory 17th. instituted the gregorian calendar we follow today. how is it different?
2:52 am
>> 11 minutes difference in one year, builds up. the pope had to intervene the calendar one more time. so for example in the year 1600. divisible by 400. a leap year. in 1700. 1800. 1900. no leap year. year 2000 there was again a leap year. >> lot of tweaking. >> that's right. >> luck we he have digital watches to keep track. it turns out, accounting for leap years is difficult for traditional watches. >> this watch has a wheel that turns one revolution every four years to accommodate the extra day. >> some body engineer a wheel. that turns once every four years? >> many of us have to adjust the gauges, end of february. protect the leap, perpetual calendar does that for you. >> to see how it works.
2:53 am
microscope. >> it is a cycle of 48 months for the leap year. we have a 48. 48 lobes. each lobe represents a month. >> reporter: it take is a year and a half to construct one watch. it will set you back around $85,000. you have four years to save up for the next leap year. around the world, leap year traditions vary. in greece, it's bad luck to get married any day of the leap year. up north. february 29th. the own day a woman can propose marriage to a man. for daisy, her birthday tradition has always been a nice dinner with family and friend. but this year was different. after all, it's not every day you turn 25. one last thing to think about this leap year morning. if you've haven't left for work.

2:57 am
>> the biggest nightmare that people like me who work on the car is that somebody deploys this technology prematurely and it causes an accident and some child dies. >> reporter: as disturbing as unlikely, a scenario on the mind of researchers and slowing momentum of autonomous vehicles. >> we as human beings are much less tolerant of an error a machine makes. >> gill pratt heads the research institute. global initiative from the manufacture the driverless car. >> how do you program decisions into the driverless car? >> what you are really talking about in artificial intelligence is called planning. planning for near infinite number of ethical scenarios like

3:01 am

3:05 am

3:06 am
and i'm still standing. >> reporter: the state department is releasing its final batch of clinton's 30,000 e-mails tonight. but, scott, that does not mean the saga is over. the fbi is still looking into her use of a private server and a federal judge wants some of her top aide to testify about it. >> nancy cordes with the democrats.

but nay do allow the women out to get medical care and to shop for food. what's changed? now there are formal negotiations going on with the government they tell me. life has improved. the siege has ended. and our electricity and water are back. supplies are flowing in too, though every single box is checked by the military. and every canister of gasoline probed for hidden weapons. but now what? in december, six busload of rebels and families struck a deal for safe passage out of alwar to opposition area farther north. that leaves about 1,000 left. stuck. still trying to hammer out the terms of their defeat. there have been several of these, call them stalemates, call them mini-truces across the country in the last couple of years, scott. they don't always go smoothly. some are more successful than others.

3:20 am
the fda. those record tell a very different story. in june of 2012, state inspector david trotter wrote-- the plant continues to be in excellent condition. i appreciate the plant management and the quality work they do. his glowing reviews continued until august 2013 when he left the department of agriculture for a new job. director of quality control at castle cheese. >> i'm with cbs news. we asked trotter to explain reviews of castle but he declined. castle cheese is no longer on the market. the company filed for bankruptcy in 2014. the fda will be rolling out new food safety regulations, the fda tells us designed to get state and federal inspectors on the same page. >> jim, thank you very much. well, chris rocked the
