officially certified but hey they gave him some fireworks. >> everyone wants to be a world recordholder. damage control. the white house tries to contain the fallout from the leaked documents on the afghanistan war. does it compromise safety of the troops on the ground? reaction from the pentagon. starting over. after months of speculation, ceo tony hayward given the boot. replaced by american bob dudley as the company reports a whopping $17 billion loss. hospital mix-up. new details of the tragic case of mistaken identity. two families, their lives turned upside down. we will speak to the aunts of one of the survivors. chelsea's big day. four days until chelsea clinton's lavish wedding that will now reportedly cost as much

its own stimulus pack zblaj very ni package. >> very nice. we begin with that monumental leak of classified documents on the afghanistan war. white house in damage control mode. the leaks raise more questions about the war in the u.s. david martin is at the pentagon this morning with the latest. david, good morning. >> good morning. the dust is yet to settle on that first avalanche of secrets. already the head of wikileaks is talking about releasing 15,000 more classified documents. the pentagon says it will take days if not weeks to assess the damage caused by what already is posted on the wikileaks web sigh. robert gibbs says people's lives have been put in danger. >> somebody is cooperating with the federal government and their name is listed in an action report. i don't think it is a stretch to believe that that could

potentially put a group or individual at great personal risk. >> reporter: u.s. military officials assume the documents were leaked by 22-year-old private first class bradley manning who is already charged with illegally downloading classified video of the helicopter gun ship. the video which ended up on wikileaks. the documents cover the years 2004 to 2009 and describe in detail why the u.s. is in so much trouble in afghanistan. the u.s. has been fighting with two few troops and causing too many civilian casualties. the afghan government is corrupt and inefficient. pakistan is an uncertain ally which at times supported the same taliban that's killing american soldiers in afghanistan. the head of wikileaks calls it one dam thing after another. >> this is the story of the war since 2004. most of the deaths in this war are as a result of every day

squalor of war. >> the white house is trying to downplay the substance of the documents as old news. but congress will have a say on that when a spending bill on the afghan war comes up for a vote before the august recess. erica, in another war development, one of the two missing sailors has now been identified. he's 30-year-old justin mcneely whose body was recovered sunday. the ol' sailor remains missing and unidentified. >> david, thanks. cbs' david martin. geoff morrell, good to have you with us this morning. do you know at this point who is responsible for the leak? >> we do not in we have a very robust investigation that's under way to try to determine who is responsible for breaking the law here and leaking the classified information that could endanger the lives of our forces and imperil our nation's

security. at this point we are in the early stages of that. our focus really, frankly, right now is to try to determine if there is anything in these 90,000 pages of documents that could endanger our forces. we have a team doing that around the clock. this was dumped on us like it was dumped on you sunday night. it would have been nice if the organization had the decency to come to us and work with us to see if there was anything that could endanger our forces. >> there is more to come as we have been told. 15,000 additional documents. how many people have access to this type of information? >> we are no going to get into the scope of what was involved here in terms of the databases that may have been breached. >> is it a large number of people. >> involves secrets that should not be disseminated into the public domain and could endanger our operations and forces in afghanistan. >> there's understandably some concern as you have mentioned a couple of time here over the troops on the ground and how this could affect them.

there's concern as to forward about the relationships there in the region. president karzai coming out with this response. the reese end documents leaked out to the media support and verify that terrorism does not come with the fighting in afghan villages but by targeting sanctuaries and eyideological sources across the board. it see is there any way to be sure the money being spent to pakistan is not being used to support terrorists? >> i think that this shows that this information of new and unprecedented and scope and sheer size of this leak, the information itself, substance, contact of the documents is not new or illuminating. it points to issues we identified as prob problem areas for months if not years. the president tripled the forces there and the fact that civilian casualties has been a problem. u.s. caused civilian casualties,

down a third. the partnership so vital to our success in afghanistan is one trending in the right direction for months if not a couple of years now to the most recent of the documents, erica, at least six months old by now. that's clearly out of step with where the relationship is and has been heading for some time now. >> trending, obviously, to a better place. is there any way to know whether or not u.s. money being sent to pakistan is in fact supporting terrorists who could be endangering u.s. troops? >> we have as many controls as we can have on our aid to pakistan. the amend provides $1.5 billion a year over the next five years. remember, this is a sovereign country we are partnering with in the war on terror. we are working with them together to go after the terrorists in their mitts who no open threaten the government and forces but our well-being stateside as well as around the

world. >> geoff morrell from the pentagon. for the big shake-up at bp. tony hayward is stepping down and for the first time an american will take the helm of the firm formerly known as british petroleum. mark phillips is in london with the latest. good morning, mark. >> reporter: good morning, harry. bp has finally confirmed what everybody expected which is that ceo tony hayward, the man that become very much the village of the gulf oil spill piece, is leaving effective october 1. bp wanted to preserve the american business, it has no choice. tony hayward is the bone being thrown to the angry dog of public opinion. the gulf oil spill happened on his watch and whatever other talents he brought to the cleanup and well capping efforts public relations touch was not one of them. one comment in particular stuck to him like an oil slick on a gulf beach.

>> no one who wants this thing over more than i do. i would love my life back. >> reporter: tony hayward is an expensive one. the golden handshake from bp will involve a year's salary of $1.6 million, a pension of about $1 million a year, and bp's shares that can be worth millions if the stock price recovers. hayward will also sit on the board of bp's joint venture in russia. >> it is very tragic. i would like to get more people out here to see it. >> reporter: his replacement, robert dudley, will give the company an american face. >> no question we are going learn a lot from this accident in the gulf coast. it will be about equipment, people, and as a result of that we are going to learn a lot. there will be changes. i spent the last three months every day on the gulf coast. i'm going to focus for the next month and a half on what we are doing in the gulf coast. >> reporter: bp estimates that the losses and relations to the oil spill will top $30 billion.

that's only if it isn't found guilty of gross negligence, a battle which has yet to fight. >> mark phillips in london this morning. thank you very much. joining us rebecca jarvis. i want to put pictures of hayward and of dudley. let's talk about dudley and why this guy. >> what bp faces ahead is a pr balance. the issue for bp is that americans have lost trust in the company. the company does 40% of its business here, dudley came from america and was born in new york and grew up in mississippi. he fits the right profile for regaining trust from americans and bp. >> let's talk about bp losses. this is a company, big company, used to making lots of profits. the profits from a year ago this quarter versus the losses are just -- almost breath take. >> yeah. looking at massive losses for the quarter.

$17 billion in losses. this quarter versus us is last year this time. the company was make ring $4.4 billion. but what's most important about all of this is what share holdest lost in the bargain. shareholders lost $70 billion as a result of this. >> in the end of the day, does bp -- a question that's come up in the first weeks and after the first month and the second month, do they have the resources to back up what -- what has to be $30 billion or more in funds to pay for this ongoing. >> yes. they set aside now $32 billion. they are selling some of their assets to pay for the cleanup costs. as we know the obama administration has requested that they put aside that $20 billion fund. they are going to make the first $5 billion payment. >> rebecca jarvis, thank you very much. betty nguyen is right over there and has the rest of the morning's news. >> good morning. nice to see you. at least six homes have been burned by a wildfire in

california this morning. that fire is in the mountain town of kernville. the flames have already burned over 2,000 eriks. some people have been forced to evacuate but no one has been injured. also in california, more highly paid officials in a los angeles suburb have vowed to demand a furious residents. the residents had succeeded in getting rid of three top officials. at a meeting yesterday they went after city council members being paid $100,000 a year for part-time work. >> you barely do your jobs! you fail to listen! you guys are not deserving to be running the city! >> the council members voted to slash their salaries by 90%. some residents say that they should just quit. overseas this morning, day three of a joint exercise by the u.s. in south korean navy. the carrier george washington is one of about 20 u.s. and south korean vessels taking part.

>> carbon copy of the weather in the northeast as we head into the rest of the day today and storms brewing in the four corners area. talk about that at 7:30. erica. >> we will check in with you then. thanks. just four days left in chelsea clinton's wedding. one report says the lavish affair could cost as much as $5 million. elaine quijano is in rhinebeck, new york. plenty of buzz there, i'm sure. >> reporter: exactly right. you know, some people might be wondering what kind of person wins the heart of chelsea clinton and the aparole of her prominent parents? someone who has a lot in common with his bride-to-be.

his name may not ring a bell but her fiance, marc mezvinsky is about to become the man of the hour. >> they have been together a long time. >> reporter: is he a cutie? >> very cute. she has very good taste. >> reporter: they first met as teenagers at a leadership retreat in 1993. they both tanded stamford university. he now work as an investment bank errata hedge fund. lives in a building in a $4 million three-bedroom apartment on new york 'fifth avenue. his family has faced adversity. his father, former iowa congressman ed mezvinsky, plead guilty to fraud and served five years in prison. observers say as children of politicians who face public turmoil, both marc and chelsea understand how harsh the negative spotlight can be. >> i think it is huge. i think both of them understand each other in a way that no one

else can. they understand what the other one has been through. >> now though the details are shrouded in secrecy, their wedding is the talk of the town in upstate rhinebeck, new york. >> nothing is happening. >> reporter: like no official confirmation, the wedding will happen at the nearby, the board voted to approve extra funding for additional police on saturday. >> make a motion to allocate $2,500 for the possible event. >> reporter: celebrity guests are reportedly staying behind me here at the historic inn in downtown rhinebeck. the owners here have signed a confidentiality agreement. one person we know who will not be attending the white house said yesterday, president obama will not be here. >> that was one of the big questions. elaine, thanks. only $2,500 just in case.

that doesn't seem like enough. >> it would be fun to go and stand on the corner and ogle. >> i was thinking whether we should drive up for the weekend to check things out. >> coming up, tragic case of mistaken identity. we will have that story in a moment as we talk to family member of one of the girls thought to be dead but is really aleve. >> also ahead a lost child or lost dog. which would be found first in a public place? disturbing results of an "early show" investigation. the royal family is sharing private photos of the world. e photos with the lord. show you some of the cool new and old pics coming up on "the early show."

we're seeing unusual delays across the dumbarton bridge near the high-rise. there is a pallet of sheetrock in lanes. bridge crews will need

assistance from chp to clear it so, yeah, huge line of slow traffic in the westbound lanes of highway 84. and from a view of our camera, cameras approaching the toll plaza it looks a little slow. i realize it's hard to see that camera but a little sluggish heading towards the pay gates. at the bay bridge toll plaza, the metering lights are on. but it's not too bad of a ride. it's backed up to mid lot in all ladies and gentlemen. that is your traffic. for your forecast, here's tracy. >> hey, thanks, elizabeth. forecast this morning from mount vaca, plenty of clouds out there. we got plenty of clouds around the bay area. for the coastline today's highs in the lower 60s. here's a look at our seven-day forecast around the bay, the lower 60s, as well. and the upper 70s inland. more sunshine in the forecast, as the workweek starts to progress and something else, warmer temperatures. yeah. warmer temperatures expected over the course of the weekend. and it seems like it's going to feel pretty nice. i could use a little warmup.

watchers, a little something special this morning. there are never before seen photos being released take. there you see a lovely family photo. they're going to give us a glimpse behind the castle walls. whose hand is that? we'll have to find out. >> royal family's opened a flicker page. >> they have. they are way more tech savvy than i thought. >> dave is at the weather board. a lot going on

traveling through minneapolis/st. paul, watch it, you could see airport delays. erica, we'll send it over to you. we want it to turn now to the tragic case of mistaken identity. the father of one of the misidentified women says the hospital simply notified the wrong family. we'll speak with the aunts of e of the girls in a moment, but first hattie kauffman explains exactly what happened. >> reporter: hate monday, officials from st. joseph's hospital in phoenix tried to explain how they mixed up the identities of who survived a horrific car accident. they got it wrong when they originally told family members that marlena cantu lived and her best friend, abby guerra, died. >> we interviewed family members that evening and asked for any discernible visual information that could help us make that positive identification. >> reporter: the hospital claims the young women's severe injuries led to the mistake, but

monday, frank cantu, the father of the deceased, said officials actually mixed up the taem members. >> instead of telling abby's parents, okay, your daughter is upstairs, they told me my daughter is upstairs. >> reporter: for six days, frank cantu sat praying at what he thought was his daughter's bedside. only to find out she never survived the crash. >> and they said i think there's been a tragic error. >> reporter: it was marlena's best friend, abby guerra, who had survived. though her parents were told she died. meanwhile, frank's daughter, marlena, had been tagged jane dough, unidentified because of a backlog of bodies. suddenly the cantus are making funeral plans for the daughter who was supposed to be getting back to college. >> a book had come in she ordered. >> reporter: oh, gosh. >> it's tough. >> reporter: frank cantu has a mission, to stop mistakes like this from happening again.

>> my daughter was the most fresh issues thing i ever had. everybody loved her. >> reporter: hattie kauffman, cbs news, los angeles. >> joining us this morning there phoenix is abby's aunt. thanks for being with us. you can tell us how is abby doing this morning? >> as of when i left the hospital this morning, she's still in critical condition. >> and how is the family doing? i just can't imagine the roller coaster of emotions you all have been on. >> everybody -- her family hasn't left her side. they've stayed at the hospital. of course they're tired and exhausted, but they're not going to leave. they're going to stay there to support their daughter. >> i know that the family met with the arizona department for public safety yesterday looking for an explanation and part of that explanation was simply that the offices has been overloaded, they had a backlog of bodies.

what's the reaction to that as an explanation? >> well, we did not actually meet with dps yesterday. they had a press release. we saw what you saw on the news. so we were told they were backlogged. we were told from the beginning that they -- well, i should say we were told on saturday when we found out that abby was alive that they had 120 bodies just in that week and that people were on vacation, they were backlogged. we were told by -- that by the chief medical examiner himself. >> and i understand in that press release it says that the department says, quote, we interviewed family members that evening, asked for any discernible visual information. you say that's not true that there was never an opportunity to identify the body? >> that is true. and that's one thing that's so

upsetting especially when we hear it on tv just like everyone else because we found out about the accident occurred what we're told about 8:30 in the evening and we were told approximately 11:50 that evening that abby had died. we were never even given the opportunity to see any of the other people. we were never given the opportunity to look at the body. we were never asked any questions. we were just told that she had passed away at the scene. so that's very, very saddening for us because it's not true anded a and anded a had we had the opportunity to look at the bodies or the other people at that time, maybe this could have been avoided. >> has the family been this touch at all with the cantu family? >> yes. we also had a -- we have seen

them, we also had a car wash last sunday to benefit both abby and marlena. i know abby's been described by her soccer coaches as being competent it difference, someone who never gave up, and we wish you the best of luck as abby fights for this and we know that you will be right this by her side. thanks. >> thank you. and thank you for all the support. if you'd like to learn more about the story, also information on how you can help both families, we do have that information at our website, early show.cbsnews.com. and coming up, the shocking results of our early show experiment. we'll show you what happens to lost children as compared to lost to dog lost dogs. this is "the early show" on cbs. ♪ daisy, do a dollop

year. it can usually happy the mall, the park. you look away for a moment, and your child has wandered away. that can send any parent into panic mode. well, experts say parents need to take steps to prevent their kids from getting lost and also teach them what to do in case they get separated. brooke branch always keeps a close eye on her twins, but one day at the zoo, her son just vanished. >> i was frantic. >> reporter: millions of parents know that feeling all too well. more than 2,000 children get lost or go missing every single day. >> it's incredibly common unfortunately. >> reporter: jill is a child safety expert who says most small children don't know their parents' names, addresses or phone number, often making it difficult to reunite lost children with their families. >> if there a phone number and the parent is two aisles away, it takes minutes. but if the child child doesn't know the phone number, it can

take much longer. rrpt parents shouldn't assume that passers by will automatically help a child find his or her way home. a lost dog will often be rescued more quickly than a lost child. we wanted to see if that was true. we took a well trained dog and a child actress to a park. we told 4 1/2-year-old olivia to pre-tent to be lost near this playground. our she willity named rascal was given a tag with our cell phone number. we let him wander around with his leash making it look like he had run away from his other than. within three minutes, rascal was rescued. >> i'm sure someone lost a dog, so i wanted to find the rightful owner. >> reporter: but watch what happens to olivia. even though she looks sad and is all alone, plenty of people just walk on by. these women notice owe live yarks but do nothing. this woman even comes up to olivia, chasing another child. but then walks away. our expert wasn't surprised. >> people are often reluctant to

help lost children because they're afraid of being perceived as someone who is trying to hurt the child as opposed to someone trying to help the child. >> reporter: then finally, after an hour -- >> are you with somebody, sweetie, or are you lost? >> reporter: this woman notices olivia and comes to her aid. >> i walked past and realized there was nobody really with her and i thought that could be my own child. >> reporter: in the end, it took 20 times longer to rescue our child than our lost dog. >> oftentimes the dog will be running on a leash without their other than, so people can see that's a lost dog. they can go up to the dog and there's dog tags. a phone number or contact information. easy. >> reporter: experts say lost kids can be found much more quickly if they, too, carried emergency contact information. and are taught what to do if they get lost. teach them it's okay to approach a helpful stranger like a mommy with children. >> the child needs to say my mommy's telephone number is in the back of my jacket or my mommy's phone number is on my arm. that's something you need to

teecht child if that's something you're going to it use. >> reporter: as for brooke branch, she eventually found her son at the zoo, alone and unharmed. she's made sure her twins now know her name and phone number. >> it just takes one second to look away, you look down and your child's gone. so it could happen to anyone. >> and it's always a good idea for parents to have a current photo of their kids. one easy thing to do, take a picture of your kid, put it on your cell phone, before you head out to the zoo or the amusement park that morning. so if they do get lost, you say these are my kids, this is what they look like. >> my kids are 16 and 20. i'm not sure they know their parents' names. so you have some things here to help out that could raep help in a jam if your kid went missing. >> right. if you want your kid to wear some sort of identification, a few options. we have a velcro wrist band, only $8. you slip it on the wrist, the information is inside. these are portable ones that you

can bring on vacation with you. this one is called -- >> this seems more likely. >> the shoes id. just attach it to the sneaker. and then also something here which is the child locator. your child wanders away -- >> you would know. >> they start beeping. >> susan koeppen, thanks so much. we'll be right back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. ♪ special k protein shakes --
