it's the banking c cital of switzerland, a country whose economy is based on the principles of corporate privacy, and banking secrecy. and no one took more advantage of that than fifa. roland buchel, a member of the swiss national legislature, says until very recently, fifa received about as much government scrutiny as a yodeng club. the corruption's been no secret. people have been talking about it. and there haveeen allegations made for a decade or more. why didn't the swiss government do something? >> roland buchel: well, there was a problem, a problem of laws. corruption at this time it was-- it was just not a crime. >> kroft: you're saying it was all right to bribe people? >> buchel: of course it wasn't all right, but it was not a crime. this money was even tax deductible. the money they paid in bribes was tax deductible. that's-- that's just-- it's not- - it's not good. >> kroft: it was not only legal, it was tax deductible? >> buchel: yes. >> kroft: do you think it's tarnished the reputation of switzerland at all? >> buchel: yes, of course. absolutely. >> kroft: buchel has since

were running for reelection would you support him? >> champagne: i tell you, he would be reelected. >> kroft: he would be reelected? >> champagne: yes. >> kroft: champagne's opponents include a jordanian prince, a sheikh from bahrain, a wealthy south african businessman and a european soccer ofcial. all of them are preaching reform to a fifa membership that has long resisted it. i mean, fifa seems to be saying, "okay, we've got this under control. you know, we're-- we're changing. we're reforming"-- >> jennings: you can't be serious-- >> jennings: you can't be >> kroft: no, i'm-- i'm-- i'm jus-- this is what they're saying? >> jennings: they haven't-- done they've nothing to reform ththselves. >> kroft: so, you think it's going to be busine as usual? attempt, because they know nothing else. >> kroft: for now, all the major decisions at the world's most powerful sports organization are being handled by fifa's legal department in consultation with a big u.s. law firm and a p.r. outfit from washington.

6:47 pm
he's not really crazy about sitting and being directed and all that sort of stuff. so i've found ways to work with that. >> cooper: he also got some very candid stills. nelson braiding his hair. and indulging in his favavite recreational pastime, smoking a huge stick of weed. i don't even know what it would be called, it's so big. >> clinch: i know, it's something. >> cooper: it's like a cigar. >> clinch: somehow i can't remember what happened after that. >> cooper: and then, there are the occasional shoots he wishes he could forget. >> clinch:h: was at a madonna show many, many years ago and i was like in the sweet spot and she came out and i mean it was the best part of the show. and i was shooting, shooting, shooting, shooting. and i'm like, "god, i must have shot a hundred pictures have i not run out of film?" and i opened the back of my camera and there was no film in therer ( laughs ) so that happened to me only once.

6:49 pm
kid. >> clinch: everywhere we went he would go, "oh, there's a '55 chevy." and, "oh," you know, "look at that 1959 cadillac." and i started to love cars myself. >> cooper: and he's always found a way to work them into the shot. springsteen with the pontiac, and in his wife's 1950 hudson with clinch's father at the wheel. an old cadillac with neil young's hat. and young inside, tooling around nashville. >> clinch: this was a great moment for me. i'm a big fan of neil's, to be driving around in this cadillac was... >> cooper: yeah. was he driving? >> clinch: he was driving yeah, yeah. intersection and i grabbed it. but nothing could prepare him for the trip he made in december to the old car capital of the universe: havana. cuba, havana, it's got to be a photographer's dream. >> clinch: i'll tell ya, there's so much interesting culture and there's so much great color everywhere you look is a phototraph. >> cooper: you seem to have a smile on your face kind of all >> clinch: yeah.

>> cooper: the preservation hall jazz band was invited to a cuban music festival, and clinch tagged along with a documentary film crew. they play the traditional music of new orleans. a a stinctive sound, and some distinctive instruments. you know, you do a lot rock and roll bands, don't see a lot of rock and roll bands with a sousaphone. >> clinch: yeah. that's true. >> cooper: the rhythms of new orleans and havana are much alike. and the americans were soon jamming with cuban musicians: on stage, at their homes. >> clinch: you don't need to speak spanish, you know? you just need to speak music. >> cooper: between concerts, clinch wandered the city, snapping away. and checking out the cars. >> clinch: i'm not just a fan of the really restored ones, the shiny ones. but i like the working man's cars. how they've fixed it, how it had
6:51 pm
>> cooper: but his biggest thrill came backstage, with the band warming up. >> clinch: they were preparing for the show. and it just turned into this impromptu, like jam, this percussion type thing. and i live for those moments. >> cooper: he's seen a lot of moments, heard a lot of music. and has come to one conclusion. >> clinch: it doesn't matter if it's hip-hop. it doesn't matter if it's jazz, or anything in between. if it hits you right here, it's good music. >> cooper: and you can get a photo out of it. >> clinch: so far, yeah. ( laughs ) >> cooper: writing in clinch's notebook, tupac shakur said: if a picture is worth a thousand words, photographers are worth a million. that's a thought shad by clinch's fellow native of the jersey shore, who says... >> springsteen: this is the man

7:01 pm
hey! little early in the morning for the worst of humanity. who wants waffles? censoring media access much? hey, first step to tyranny. so proud. listen, as opposed to that... mom is hosting a conference this week featuring noura al-kitabi. oh. i thininwe should all go. isn't that the girl who got acid attacked? that is the the young woman who stood up against the saudi government to demand an equal education and the right to work. and, yes, she was violently assaulted, but is committed to speaking out. that sounds cool. it's way cool. and we're talking weapons-grade? well, that can't be good. hi. good morning. good morning. morning. morning. hang on. listen, about alison's parent-teacher conference today at 11:15-- i have not forgotten. i got it covered, if you can't make it. oh, no, i will make it. not least because i am hosting a worldwide partnership on girls' and women's education. i hope you realize this means
7:02 pm
yes, of course. i will. i want... whoa. when is that? i don't... hang on. hold on. blake, listen, will you just put that file together for me, and i'll bring it to the nsa meeting, and just keep me updated if there's anything? okay? thank you. bye. is everything okay? yeah. another day, another potential disaster no one will ever hear about. here's to government work. okay..bye. i got to go. ve you. love you. bye. love you, love you, love you. bye. love you. bye. see you. dalton: you're telling me dod and cybercom, the entire intelligence community, none of you could stop china from stealing a key piece of our defense? to be clear, mr. president, the data acquisition may not have included every component of the long-range strike bomber. and when will we know for sure? whenenne of them is heading for us? sir, um, i have a relationship with foreign minister chen. maybe i could reach out and determine the extent of the breach. she did it before with the space station. at least then we'd know what we're looking at and proceed from there.
7:03 pm
if i could also mention the truckload of uranium that was stolen outside of tiraspol in n ldova last night. cia is aware of the theft. we're fully tracking the situation, sir. do we know who stole it, or god help us, what they plan to do with an entire truckload of uranium? elizabeth: well, the theft could lead back to any number of interested parties. there's been a rise in organized crime in the area, as well as several politically-motivated oups. let's s pe those ukrainiaiarebels aren't getting the band back together. i'd like to propose state's international security and nonproliferation bureau take the lead on tracking this. head up a team. great. intelligence, energy and defense will give you all the support you need. dennis: sir, if i may? one truckload of spent fuel rods likely stolen by moldovan thugs, with no expertise in hananing the material, is h hdly what i would deem a priority situation for intelligence. ephraim: given our concerns over the recent cyber breach in defense, i would concur. if i can answer that...
7:04 pm
of radiological material a significantly low threat. based on what evidence? since 9/11, there have been only two known threats to weaponize radiological material. well, my wmd team felt that it merited a report, and i'd like for them to follow up on it... with support. because i-i do think that it was the lack of cooperation between our offices that provideddthe conditions for the worst terrorist attack in u.s. history, which, until then, was unprecedented. dalton: intelligence certainly has its hands full dealing with the cyber breach. state will take the lead, as i believe i said. we'll keep the china breach under the radar, obviously. anani don't want to m me any deals with china. just get the truth. yes, sir. mr. prident. general ellerman, it's great to have you on the team. it's a pleasure to serve. i was told there'd be donuts.
7:05 pm
looking forward to working with you. don't ever make the presididt repeat himself again. bess? (low, indistinct conversatioio in background) can i just ask: has cia always been that territorial, and i just forgot? no idea. i tend to let the kittens fight it out. about your, uh, your women's education thing... you mean my worldwide partnership for girls' and women's education conference that i am hosting? i got a request fromomthe saudi ambassador-- the girl you've got as your keynote speaker... noura al-kitabi. you do actually know this stuff. they want to know if you can look for someone else. what?! apparently, this king is sensitive about her. she's been critical of the royal family, we've got this big arms deal in the works... you're asking me to disinvite an internanaonally-renowned champion of education-- a girl who was acid-attacked for it, no less-- to protect an arms deal?
7:06 pm
in the middle east? yes. if the royal family has such a problem with what its most celebrated citizen is saying about them publicly, maybe they should-- ohi don't know-- give half their citizens the right to an equal educatioio oh, yeah... or how about st letting them drive? why don't we start there? i thought you might see it that way, so i made a counterproposal. no one from our side appears with her publicly. i'm hosting the conference. how can i not appear with my keynote speaker?! this arms deal creates 5,000 new jobs, most of them in s sng states. but by all m mns, you tell theheresident you want to put that at risk so you can get your picture taken with a teenager. she's 20, and neither one of us is even worthy enough to shine her shoes, so don't strong-arm me, russell. once the arms deal goes through, the two of you can go on amazing race if you want to. just lay low, avoid the cameras. that's all i'm asking. (sighs) all right. i'll get word to prince asim.
7:07 pm
sinche should have come to me about it in the first place. gently, please. nadine: this is the full itinerary for the education conference for your approval. gall university reququted an additional l pearance with noura al-kitabi at eir steam foundation yeah, i actually won't be appearing with noura at any public events during or around the conference. apparently, the king doesn't like to feel criticized by a college student, or he won't buy our f-18s. the itinerary will be adjusted. yup. all right, i, uh... i need t t speak with the sauau ambassador. i'll set up a call. ma'am, walter nowack from the international security and nonproliferation bureau is waiting in the conference room. great. do they have windows on the first floor? because that dude looks like one of those deep-sea fish that's never seen the sun. elizabeth: walter. ah. it's nice to see you again. a susuoning to the seventh floor. m all atwitter. (laughs) we wanted to review your report on the stolen uranium inoldova.
7:08 pm
in name if not in deed. good to meet you, sir. just jay. can i get you some coffee? please. please. have a seat. yes. (laughs) you know, we-we still use disposable cups on the first floor. it's astonishing to think of detritus from theolin powell era still moldering in a landfill somewhere. like so many of our shouts into the void. milk or sugar? black. thank you. walter, we're, uh... we're gonna be putting together a team on this situation in moldova, ah. and jay will be your point person. it's a shame my report of five months ago warning of the effect of corruption on securing nuclear material in the former soviet states... ...failed to gain any attention... but here we are.
7:09 pm
uh, theory. you're familiar with transnistria? little breakaway region of moldova that the eu can't seem to control. it's a hotbed for drug and arms smuggling, human trafficking and other... recreational activities. after the last election, the crime syndicates now exert their influence at the very top levels of government. it's not my operating theory, jay. it's... it's reality. as i said in my report... fi... five months ago. i'll send you another copy. i'm sure we still have it. good. now... looking more closely at the details of our uranium heist... here's the truck leaving the nuclear facility. here's the driver.
7:10 pm
jay: who is that? that's the chief inspector of the power plant. the inspector was in the truck? ah. well, it seems the reach of the first floor once again exceeds that of the so-called intelligence community. and we do it a a with disposable cups. walter, i'm sorry. i-i have to run to another meeting, but we'll talk soon. oh. well, we shall bask in the fading glow of your attention. (laughs) i know. totomuch. ah. hey, i can just make alison's parent-teacher conference. will you get the cars ready? i would, but you have a visitor from the fbi in your office. marguerite sanchez, deputy director of counter-terrorism? she said it was urgent. like miss-my-daughter's-conference that-i-promised to-go-to urgent? well, if you're asking me to weigh quakers versus terrorists, i think the quakaks can wait.
7:11 pm
i'm gonna see if i can make this quick. yes, ma'am. woman: as you may be aware, i've been heading up a team investigating the omer sisters. right, the ohio girls who were recruited by hizb al-shahid. we've been working with assets in libya, where supposedly, they joined up with their recruiters three days ago, but no leads. then the tunisian government came through with this. uh... here. it's from a security cam outside a mosque in tunis where the girls stopped on their way to libya. elizabeth:just a guess, i'm thinking those are not threcruiters they were expecting. we've determined they're agents of the saudi arabian government. which, it turns out, is where the girls are being held. they never made it to libya? no, ma'am.
7:12 pm
without ever bothering to tell us, even with wall-to-wall news coverage about it? the only answer we've been able to get from the saudi arabian government is that their intelligence indicates the girls were gonna be used in a plot against saudi arabia. wait a minute, that doesn't... that doesn't make any sense. why y uld hizb al-shahid plot a strik against saudi arabia (chuckles): when it's basically an open secret that saudi arabia is where the group gets most of its money? we've never been able to prove that. i know. but if we could, i might have leverage to find out what the saudis are hiding. (deeeesigh) withtht it, it's just a bunch of puzzle pieces that don't... really fit. you can see why it seemed above my pay grade. yeah. i hope it's appropriate that i came to you. of course. i wish more of us reached out.
7:13 pm
that's okay. don't answer that. will you excuse me just... for one minute? i'll be right back. blake. already calling henry, ma'am. oh. and listen, that meeting with the, uh, saudi ambassador is now officially urgent-- no more phone call. want him in my office. of course. good morning sunset. good morning night. good morning neon, shining bright. good morning hunger. good morning moon. good morning morning.

with the pain ananswelling of my y derate to severe rheumatoid arthritis... ordina objects often seemed... intimidating. doing something simple... meant enduring a lot of pa. if ra is changing your view of everyday things orencia may help. orencia works differently by targeting a source of ra early in the inflammation process. for many, orencia provides long-term relief of ra symptoms. it's helped new ra patients and those not helped enough by other treatments. do not take orencia with another biologic medicine for ra due to an increased risk of serious infection. serious side effects can occur including fatal infections. cases of lymphoma and lung cancer have been reported. tell your doctor if you're prone to or have any infection like an open sore, the flu, or a history of copd, a chronic lung disease. orencia may worsen your copd. if you're not getting the relief you need... ask your doctor about orencia. orencia. see your ra

7:16 pm
elizabeth: so no passive-aggressive shaming from the quakers about missing the conference? it's okay, you can tell me. (beeping) babe, they're happy they could get one of us. yeah, they're happy to get you. i've seen those teachers flirt. and you totally encourage it, by the way. i encou...? how do i encourage i i by not engaging. by being just unavailable enough that it's like total catnip. like that-- i bet, i bet. so, how was it? she's dodog great. her math scores are up. she's even eligible for
7:17 pm
uh-huh. s.a.t. prep is going well. and...? (sighs deeuly) there's a social thing. this girl's getting bullied online. they suspended the kids who put up the web site, but they're notifying the parents of everybody who posted on it. she didn't. yeah. "la barnes is styleleree." well, i don't know if i'm disgusted because she participated in it, or... relieved that this is the worst she could do. i was pretty disgusted. yeah. there was a big talk at school about their letting the parents deal with it however we choose. well, i-i say... no scrcrns for a month. or, you know what, we'll just take the phone away entirely. i mean, this is... this is total mean girl crap, and i hate it. (phone buzzing) yeah. but i don't just want punishment. i mean, i... i want to talk to her. i want her to do some soul-searching.
7:18 pm
jay's here. jay's here? (whispers): with his baby. hey, jay. come on in. thank you... oh... oh, wow! look how big! i'm so sorry to just show up, but driving's the only thing that makes her sleep, and... are you driving your daddy crazy? i'm so sick of driving around the block. (chuckles): oh, are you kidding? we're so glad to see you. and now the e iving's not evenenorking. hi. okay, here, let me just try. you sure? yeah. ah. thank you. yeah. oh. right. no females can resist his charms. henry: i heard that. bet you don't miss having babies. tonight i might. long story. i'd offer you a glass of wine, but since you're driving... ter? juice? not juice. not jui. you know, in about six months, she'll be sleeping through the night, and you'll actually look back on this time... with nostalgia. (chuckles) thanks.
7:19 pm
(turns on faucet) yeah, i kind of thought so. (turns faucet off) stolen nukes got in your head? a little. maybe a lot. that inspector from the plant-- why was he in the truck? to advise on proper disposal? all the other disposal runs took place during the day. this was the only one at night. the thieves shot the driver point-blank. but this inspector... there's no trace of him. kidnapped? thought of that. but then i went digging in all the files... from the nuclear plant, and... found this. uh... sorry. it got... drooled on a little. it's a report to replace the power plant's security supvisor, dated two weeks before the heist. and who ordered the rehire? the inspector. so you think that the inspector wanted to hire his own... security guy who'd... look the other way?
7:20 pm
dni, cia, they... they think terrorists don't want to bother with nukes because it's too much trouble. but if the uranium comes with its own nuclear physicist to show them how to use it? i'd call that getting the most bang for your bucuc looks like i've still got it. (laughs softly) at least one of us is gonna get some sleep. (whispers): oh, look... (sighs): yeah. yeah. huh. you are definitely onon something. was hoping you wouldn't say that. you know, we had a researcher at the same nuclear plant in moldova targeted by a local crime boss-- ion gurian. the researcher refused to sell gurian some radiological detection devices
7:21 pm
and do... god d ows what with it. a few days after his refusal, the researcher started... getting death threats, so we had to grant him asylum, and now... he teaches at mit. it's another report i sent upstairs. i... so we should find this i ipector who clearly ve them what thewanted this time. no. the inspector's... in the wind. you want to focus on gurian. get eyes on all his usual haunts. wait for him to try to sell, get a team in, and trap him. shouldn't we check out the power plant? look for other leaks in the staff? (chuckles) if... i iyou want to waste resources tailing some midlevel dupes, go right ahead, but i am telling you where you're going to get a hit. well, how do... (chuckles): walter... you don't actually know that. did you ever read the odyssey, jay? (sighs, laughs wryly)
7:22 pm
yes,-i, i mean, you know, it's... it's been a while. so, odysseus comes home... after the war-- it's been 20 years-- but he wants to surprise all the suitors who have been trying to steal his wife, so he's dressed like a beggar. and no one recognized him and he slaughtered all of the suitors. nah-nah-nah-- someone does cognize him. his dog-- argos. he's been put out on the dung heap, covered in fleas, on the brink of death, but as his master passes by, argos looks up, wags his tail... and, having seen his master one more time, he dies. argos knew. how did he know? he looked past all the noise to the truth. mm-hmm.
7:23 pm
belt and suspenders. yeah, i... i get it. you're scared. you think you can stop it if you plug up every hole, but you can't stop it, jay. this stuff is everywhere. it's not if, it's when. so all we can do is try to look past all the noise, all the fear, plug up the biggest hole today, and maybe... keep it from happening tomorrow. that's it. (sighs) (chuckles) i know, i know... (clears throat) back to my dung heap. i'm doing a column on homemade spa treatments-- can it wait? no, not really. oh. you didn't think it was important to mention that? (sighs): no. because i didn't actually post it. stacy henworth thought it would be hilarious--
7:24 pm
i know that sounds lame, but it's the truth. so you knew she did this in your name, you did nothing to refute it, but you still think you're not culpable? not totally. hm. okay. if that's ththway you want to lolo at it. i'm disappointed, but i appreciate your honesty. what was i supposed to do? that's a good question. there you are. good morning, madam secretary.y. does it mean that it's any... less urgent if you don't lie in wait at the elevator? or are you just trying to keep me guessing? you'll never know. (laughs) this is the report from jay and the isn bureau. the nuclear material was detected in a warehouse outside of chisinau in moldova.
7:25 pm
it's enough to warm my heart. despite the, you know, deadly material possibly being sold to nefarious agents. hi. good morning, ma'am. prince asim of saudi arabia is waiting in the conference room. and marguerite sanchez from the fbi iwaiting your office. marguerite is back? didishe say why? she didn't choose to share that with me, no. i suggest we poritize prince asim. and, just to reiterate our strategy with the ambassador... i know. stick to the education conference, don't wreck the arms deal, but do find out everything i can about the two ohio girls that they have in their custody. being careful to avoid any intimamaons of wrongdoing on t part of saudi arabia. message received. no claws. will you, uh, tell marguerite that i will be with her as soon as i finish up with the prince, okay? yes, ma'am. i think you're going to want to talk to me first.

7:30 pm
is one we highly value. i did wonder, though, as our long-term ally, why it never came up that two of our citizens were being held in your custody? i assume you're referring to the sudanese sisters. perhrhs when they joined an international terrorist group targeting saudi arabia, they forfeited their right protection from a c cntry they willingly abandoned. the omer sisters were born in ohio,o, so their u.s. citizenship isn't really open to interpretation. what is, though, is whether or not they were involved in a plot against your country. because, well, our intelligence reveals nothing of the kind.d. it may be possible that american inteteigence doesn't know everything, madam secretary. (laughs) that is true. that's true. our intelligence did uncover, however, several verified documents detailing the transfer of funds
