his attorneys are investigating her life and her story early this monday morning, june 6, 2011. >> good morning. welcome to "the early show" here on a monday morning of it i'm chris wragge. >> i'm erica hill. >> good to see you this morning. to our breaking news this morning, at least five u.s. troops killed in iraq and cbs correspondent charlie d'agata, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the u.s. embassy in baghdad would only confirm five u.s. personnel have been killed in an attack. local television reported that it may have been a rocket attack at a u.s. military base in baghdad. that is yet to be confirmed. it's thought to be the worst single attack in terms of casualties in at least two years. there are 47,000 u.s. service

men still based in baghdad, mostly for training, not in the security operation. the iraqi government is working with the u.s. to decide whether that pullout planned by the end of the year will still go ahead. chris. >> charlie, thank you. here's erica. >> we look at afghanistan this morning. the defense secretary robert gates is meeting with u.s. troop there is as the ob administration is reportedly considering withdrawing more troops from afghanistan sooner than planned. mandy clark is in afghanistan with more for us this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. secretary gates' final visit to afghanistan before he steps down. yesterday, when he faced the troops he made it clear he was proud of his record in office. >> more than anybody except the president, i'm responsible for you being here. >> reporter: many of the soldiers lined up before the secretary are about to end a long tour of duty on the front

lines. like many americans, they are hoping this will be their last deployment. the secretary offered few clues about the scale of the withdrawal, but said he would try to pull out the support troops first. >> i try to maximize my combat capability as long as it's processed i think that's a no-brainer. >> reporter: saturday, during a meeting with hamid karzai secretary gates listened to complaints in the way in which nato forces were conducting the war. >> especially the bombing of civilian homes is an issue that the afghans definitely want to end. >> reporter: promised the u.s. will stay the course in afghanistan even after the withdrawal begins. the issue of troop reduction, how many and how fast will be on the front burner for the administration this week. with the death of osama bin laden and the rising cost of the

war, more and more voices are calling for a dramatic reduction in the u.s. presence here. >> mandy clark in afghanistan this morning, thanks. there is new deadly violence in yemen where u.s. officials worry about a rise in terrorism. in libya, nato's u.s. allies are adding attack helicopters to the arsenal against moammar gadhafi forces. we'll check with a top official in a moment. first for a closer look at the situation on the ground, allen pizzey joins us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. the pace and temperature of the revolts across the middle east continue to intensify. most dramatically in yemen where protesters smelled victory. the spark was the departure of the embattled president in saudi arabia. streets that ha been the scene of battles for three months turned into a carnival of celebration on the news that president ali abdullah saleh

wounded over the weekend was gone but may yet be premature. officials in his government still holding out said he would return although that seems increasingly unlikely. the fear is a power vacuum in the impoverished nation. rebel forces in libya were given a boost with the introduction of apache attack helicopters. flying from a british ship close to the coast, the apaches are used to hit gadhafi forces hiding from nato jets. >> the unique capability is the ability with its very advanced fire control system and radar to actually identify and engage targets with huge precision. that's something that at the moment is not achieving. >> reporter: the rebels have a long way to go. after a visit to their capital in been ghazi the british foreign secretary warned that the campaign could drag on for months. hopes are pinned as much on a

member of gadhafi's inner circle turning on him as they are on the rebels advancing to the capital. neither is a sure bet at the moment. erica. >> allen pizzey, thanks. >> joining us from brussels is nato secretary general. good to have you with us, sir. >> good morning. >> we talked a lit basically the new phase that has been entered these apache attack helicopters added to the arsenal. a lot of questions as to whether or not troops on the ground could be next. what is the plan this morning? >> first of all let me stress that we have no intention whatsoever to put boots on the ground. we will continue our air operations with the aim to fully protect the civil population in libya. >> is that still the goal, simply protecting the population? or is the goal to effectively remove gadhafi from power? >> well, we have two tracks.

in the military track we have clearly defined three objectives. a complete end to all attacks against civilians, secondly, withdrawal of gadhafi forces and paramilitary forces to the bases and barracks, and thirdly, immediate and unhindered humanitarian access to people in need. these are the three military objectives and we will continue our operation until these are met. in a parallel political track, the international community has put a lot of pressure on gadhafi, and the only solution is that gadhafi leaves power. it's hard to imagine a complete end to attacks against civilians as long as he is in power. >> how close to you think he is to leaving power? >> well, it could happen any day, it could take some time yet

the fact is that we have considerably degraded his war machine. we see the opposition advance in libya, the gadhafi regime is more and more isolated every day. and this combination of strong military pressure and reinforced political pressure will eventually lead to the collapse of the regime and we have also recently seen a lot of defections from his inner circle. >> taking a look at the other side now. how long can these rebel forces, can this opposition hold on? they need support, funding, some of that difficult for them to get. >> yes. well, the international contact group has decided to step up support for the opposition. i'm not going to guess about

time lines. obviously we hope to see a solution to this conflicts sooner rather than later. we also have to say that there's no military solution so we need a political process leading to democracy in libya. >> i want to ask you quickly about afghanistan, report this is morning that president obama could be looking to make that troop drawdown steeper. is that something nato would be in favor of? >> well, we have already laid out a clear time table for a gradual transfer of libya responsibility to the afghan security forces. actually that process would start already next month. we will hand over lead responsibility to the afghan security forces in seven provinces and districts representing 25% of the afghan population. it's a significant start, and we hope to see that process completed by the end of 2014.

>> thanks for your time, sir. >> just ahead in the next hour on "the early show" we'll focus on yemen as we look at a week-long series t arab summer, looking at the struggle for democracy in that part of the world. >> until then to jeff glor with another look at our top headlines. good morning. >> good monday morning to you and everyone at home. arizona this morning, more evacuations have been ordered as firefighters battle three major wild fires. the fires have burned more than 300,000 acres. the worst is the wallow fire near the new mexico border. and donna rossi of our phoenix station kpho is in springerville, arizona this morning. >> reporter: this enormous fire is burning across 193,000 acres. that's 301 square miles of eastern arizona. more than 2300 firefighters are battling the blaze, now the third largest in state's history. several cities along the

arizona/new mexico border have been evacuated. >> there's a lot of history here. so much history that a lot of us don't want to leave f. they tell tuesday go we have to go. >> reporter: firefighters have been digging lines in attempt to contain the fire. >> we were very successful last night putting 30 miles of line which is phenomenal. >> reporter: by midday sunday the wind started kicking up, whipping up the fire with it and causing it to jump the containment lines. >> that was donna rossi in springerville, arizona. thank you. >> officials in germany now say that a test of sprouts shows they did not cause the most deadly e. coli outbreak ever. the sproutings are from a farm in northern germany which was closed down yesterday, all of its produce recalled. more than 2200 people have been sickened, at least 22 died. all but one in germany. they do not know the source. 11 past the hour. now back over to chris. >> jeff, thank you. this morning we're learning of two significant breakthroughs in the battle against cancer. we're going to look at a advance

against breast cancer. we begin with a new drug that according to clinical tests can slow down the spread of melanoma. cynthia bowers is in chicago with the latest on this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it is hard to overestimate the magnitude of this new drug's potential. when you consider that melanoma kills nearly 9,000 americans every year, which is 1 person on average dying every hour. researchers say this pill, vemurafenib, is a breakthrough when it comes to slowing melanoma t deadliest form of skin cancer. >> for parents who get the vemurafenib sometimes in 72 hours are already much better. off of pain medicine, may be off oxygen. >> reporter: unlike chemo which attacks healthy in addition to unhealthy cell this is drug attacks a genetic mutation blame forward increasing the cancerous cells. it's present in half of all melanoma patients.

since vemurafenib targets the mutated genes it appears more effective and causes fewer side effects. after six months, 84% of patients on this drug were still alive compared to 64% on traditional chemo. vemurafenib has given stage 4 melanoma patient time and quality of life. >> i was headed really to death because i had brain ma ta ta sis. that's usually the end of the line. in seven days of taking the drug, once i got on the trial, i had about a 40% reduction in tumors. >> one researcher caution this is is by no mean as cure. >> over time the melanoma cells can become resistant to the therapy and then the cancer cells outwit these drugs and outsmart us. >> reporter: this drug can be used in concert with another new drug which triggers the body's immune system to fight skin

cancer. the bad news, this form of skin cancer is the fastest growing cancer among young people in their 20s and that is primarily due to too much sun exposure. cynthia bowers, cbs news, chicago. >> that's the one thing you cannot stress enough. sun block and be careful when you are in the sun. let's bring in dr. jennifer ashton. let's talk about this melanoma drug. side effects. >> there are always side effects. with this drug, increased risk of secondary skin cancer, a sensitivity to the sun, joint pain, fatigue, those are the biggest ones. >> now i want to talk about this breast cancer study that we've been talking about. this other cancer study making news this morning. breast cancer as many know the second common cause of death from women. what does this mean toward prevention? >> this really signifies the paradigm shift. we've gotten very good at treating breast cancer. now the bent of the research is

focused on prevention. and to put these numbers into context, this study in the best medical journal we have, they found that they had to treat 94 patients, these are high risk women with this one drug, to prevent one case of inva sif breast cancer in a three-year time period. >> the study looked at a class of medication. how do these work to reduce breast cancer? >> you think about it, of all of the women battling breast cancer, about two-thirds have a form of the disease we refer to as being hormonally sensitive, basically this drug works as an anti-estrogen, and we need to mention chris, that this study was funded by the drug maker although they did not have a direct role in how the data was collected or in the study design. >> the women involved in the study were classified as high risk. >> right. >> what -- what classifies someone as high risk? >> in this study and in general you talk about high risk for breast cancer age is the number one. over 60 where the women in this

post menopausal. other things, family history, or if you had another type of breast cancer in the past. >> the drug that was used here, the side effects of this are? >> they can be pretty troubling. they can be hot flashes, fatigue, joint pain. women on this class of medication have a high discontinuation rate of stopping those medications, when they already have breast cancer so it remains to be seen whether women who don't have breast cancer will be able to stick with those side effects. >> very important studies. >> absolutely. >> dr. ashton, good

>> thanks so much. that's your latest weather. now over to erica and chris. >> thanks. good morning to you. >> still to come on "the early show," the former head of the imf goes to court while his lawyers try to dig up dirt on his accuser. the latest on dominique strauss-kahn's case. >> sarah palin continues to

39 minutes paflt past the hour. this morning, sarah palin is defending her record in alaska and explaining some puzzling comments about paul revere while another conservative republican is announcing his bid for the presidency. cbs news political correspondent jan crawford has the latest this morning from washington. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. and that is rick santorum. he's the former two-term senator from pennsylvania who is going to be entering the race for the white house today. but he, like all those other fellow candidates, are finding it pretty hard to get a lot of attention when sarah palin continues to flirt with a presidential bid of her own. sarah palin's bus tour took a break this weekend, but she's still dominating the spotlight. on sunday, clips from her upcoming movie "the undefeated" were released. it's a documentary about the former alaska governor.

the film's goal? to clear up what the director claims are the many distortions and outright lies about palin's record. >> she was the ceo of 25,000 employees. >> reporter: the movie leaves the impression palin will run for president and argues she is qualified for the job. >> she wasn't afraid to use those powers. >> reporter: despite the bus tour and now the movie, palin remains coy about whether she'll join the field of gop presidential contenders. >> on a spectrum where zero is i'm absolutely not running and 100% is, i'm in the race, where are you now? give me a number. >> still right there in the middle, chris. >> 50? >> trying to figure out what the lay of the land will be. >> reporter: but she certainly sound like a candidate when asked what she would do as president to boost the economy. >> what president palin would do is cut the federal budget. >> reporter: palin also talked about energy and afghanistan and slammed president obama's economic policies. >> it's very noble of president obama to want to stay at the helm and maybe go down with this

sinking ship. but i prefer and many americans prefer we start plugging the hole. >> reporter: but there us was also the trivial. she was asked to explain are the comments last week suggesting that paul revere was warning americans and the british. critics said the comment shows she didn't know her history. palin said the media once again was playing gotcha. >> i didn't mess up about paul revere. part of his ride was to warn the british that were already there. hey, you're not going to succeed. you're not going to take american arms. >> reporter: now palin's movie will debut in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina. obviously, erica, three key primary states later on this month. and then it will be in theaters nationally in july and, who knows. by then maybe we'll have an answer from palin about whether she's running for president or not. maybe we'll have a candidate. jan, you've seen the movie. what did you learn, if anything, that's new in it? >> i see it is an unabashed defense of sarah palin and her record as governor of alaska. but what i found most

interesting is how it goes back to when she started in politics 20 years ago. and shows them this unbroken line in her thinking. the things we've been hearing from her on her bus tour about the role of government and free markets and freedom. she's been saying those things for 20 years. and there's video of her as a young candidate on the stump, running for mayor 20 years ago. sounding exactly like the sarah palin that we're seeing out on that bus tour today. i thought that was probably the most striking thing, just that never before seen video. >> rick santorum, two-tern senator from pennsylvania. throwing his hat in the ring later today. how does he stack up against the declared candidates? >> he's got a pretty tough path to the nomination. he's been making some inroads among social conservatives. he spent a lot of time in south carolina. he's going to have a very difficult time going against someone like a tim pawlenty who has been out there. he's got a very energetic campaign already. if sarah palin gets in the race, rick santorum will have an

extremely difficult time. >> all right. we know you'll be watching it. jan crawford in washington, thanks. just ahead, from itunes to icloud, apple looking to shake up the music world again with a new tune. investors want to see, though, what steve jobs is doing at today's unveiling. all eyes on san francisco. we'll give you a preview of what's expected up ahead on "the early show." ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] and just like that, it's here. ♪ a new day.

that steve jobs, apple's charismatic chief executive, will be introducing it. >> thanks for coming. >> reporter: apple's chief executive steve jobs will break his medical leave and take a san francisco stage later today to unveil the icloud. a web-based service the company hopes will change the way people listen to digital music. >> what it basically lets you do is store your music somewhere other than your computer in apple's icloud. and then you can play it from any device that you own and maybe even if they allow us, redownload it on to, say, another computer or another phone. >> reporter: one day, the service may allow you to listen to your music library from anywhere. off of anyone's device. it will reportedly cost $25 a year. with more than 200 million itunes subscribers, apple has reportedly inked deals with several top record labels to make music streaming easier for its users. the cloud is still a confusing concept for a lot of people. it mainly refers to the idea of

steve jobs is so much a part of what apple means to its customers that there's a direct correlation between apple's stock price and jobs' personal health. for example, when he left on medical leave in january, the apple stock immediately fell. but when the company announced that jobs would be speaking at today's event, the stock price immediately jumped 2%. you see a major impact there. >> it's funny because people mention you want to see exactly what his condition is just as much as what he's unveiling. they talk about making dig tool the access to digital music easier. how much easier does it need to be? i'll be honest. i'm still a little confused by the whole thing. >> ultimately, you try and download music on to your phone and move it to your computer. that takes a lot of time. the idea here is that they're going to cut back on time and make it faster and more efficient. >> faster and easier. rebecca jarvis, thank you. we'll be right back. you're watching "the early show" here on cbs.

welcome b welcome back to "the early show" here on a monday morning. i'm chris wragge along with erica hill. six months ago a singular act in tunisia began an overwhelming revolution and change in the middle east. the move was called the arab spring. >> today that revolution can still be felt in the air but perhaps a growing sense of chaos is sparking concern around the globe. all this week as the arab spring moves into the arab summer, we'll look at where the revolution stands and where those concerns lie in five different key countries in the region, tunisia, syria, egypt and libya. >> but this morning we begin with the crisis in yemen. reporter iona craig joins us

from sana'a, the capital of yemen. miss craig, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. >> so what is the situation on the ground there right now? >> reporter: well, in the capital city where i am there's a very tenuous cease-fire that was brokered by saudi arabia in the past couple of days to try and bring to a halt the fighting that we've seen in the city over the past two weeks between tribesmen and the president's troops. that cease-fire seems to have collapsed last night when there was heavy fighting to the north of the city, gunfire for several hours. so far today since the sun has come up, it's certainly quiet now in sana'a at least. >> yesterday you tweeted some video inside yemen along the streets. people celebrated as president saleh was taken to saudi arabia for medical treatment there. do you believe that the president will return? >> reporter: i think saudi arabia will certainly try and

prevent that from happening as well as u.s. diplomats. this is the one opportunity now that he's gone for the transfer of power that's been on the table for two weeks and to be initiated and for some for the change to be made. having said that, i wouldn't put it past president saleh himself to try and attempt to return. he's often said in the past few weeks that without him the country would fall into chaos and it may be his opportunity to fulfill that by coming back and restoring law and order and a sense of calm to yemen upon his return. >> iona craig for us in yemen this morning. thank you very much for taking the time, we appreciate it. >> reporter: thank you. as the situation deteriorates in yemen, u.s. officials say there is a growing risk that the country could become a safe haven for terrorists. bob orr has more on that for us this morning. >> reporter: good morning, chris. well, the arab spring has renewed hopes for millions of people in tunisia and egypt.

but as you've said it's brought chaos and violence to yemen. it now has counterterrorism officials on edge. as the yemeni government disintegrates and the country moves toward civil war, the threat of a terror strike against the u.s. grows. it is home to the al qaeda in the arain an peninsula. the fear is they will exploit the chaos to plot fresh attacks. >> the threat posed by al qaeda in the arabian peninsula is metastasizing and getting worse. >> reporter: aqap has tried twice in the past 18 months to hit the u.s., first with the christmas day 2009 underwear bombing attempt on a northwest flight over detroit. and again last fall with sophisticated explosive devices found hidden inside computer printers on cargo planes destined for the u.s. but the embattled yemeni government is in no position to

counter the terror threat. president saleh, injured when his palace was shelled, has gone to saudi arabia for medical treatment. u.s. counterterrorism efforts in yemen have also been limited, though that may be changing. just days after osama bin laden was killed by navy s.e.a.l.s, the u.s. fired predator missiles at one of aqap's top operatives, american born cleric, anwar al awlaki. awlaki, a recruiting superstar on jihadist websites is calling for more. his radical message for now is unchecked. >> someone who is obviously fluent in english, grew up in the united states, is aware of our cultures, our nuances and what makes us tick. >> reporter: as in tunisia and egypt, the unrest in yemen largely began as a grassroots movement for reform. but as the protests and

government actions spiral out of control, yemen edges closer to a leaderless vacuum, closer to the perfect safe haven for nurturing terror. yemen, the homeland of bin laden himself now threatens to a full-blown sanctuary for terrorists, looking more and more like afghanistan in the days before 9/11. >> bob orr in washington for us, bob, thank you. now here's erica. joining us now cbs national news security analyst juan zarate. yemen already is a sanctuary in so many ways for terrorists. how much, though, does the threat to americans grow as we see further unrest and instability in yemen? >> i think this is the greatest near term problem we see coming out of the arab spring for the united states, erica. what you have is al qaeda in the arabian peninsula already operating in yemen, gaining breathing space as bob just mentioned. this is a lethal group that has adapted and is clearly still

targeting the west. this is a near term real problem for the united states. >> is this in fact like afghanistan pre-9/11? >> well, i'm not sure i'd put it in that category. certainly yemen has been talked about as a failing state. we could be seeing it marching toward failed state status. but this is really a country with a perfect storm of problems. you have demographic pressures, economic problems, resource issues like diminishing oil returns and water reserves that are very low and you've got militancy and extremism, tribal fractures, so a host of real big problems here that are now emerging with president saleh not being able to control the country. >> i want to talk about him in just a second, but first talk to me a little bit more about those problems on the ground. it really is the perfect storm, especially for people who live there. this is a very poor country. resources were already tough now, as we're hearing water can be difficult to get. how much could that play into islamic extremism? >> well, i think you've got near term and long-term problems,

erica. this is the poorest country in the arabian gulf. you've got the resource problems, an economy that is very weak at best. you've got water problems that are increasing over time. yemen has relied on the oil industry and on tourism, both of which have diminished over time in terms of revenues. so you've got long-term problems for this country that really portend problems for the long term not just the immediate term. >> in terms of leadership, president saleh is in saudi arabia right now. if he doesn't come back, is it clear who would take over? >> it's not clear at all, erica. it's not clear that violence wouldn't ensue. i think you have tribal divisions, family divisions, different loyalties among the military loaders. interestingly his sons are still in yemen and could be vying for power, so i don't think the search and the attempt to control power in sana'a, the capital of yemen, is over yet and i think that portends more

violence in the coming days. >> it seems every article i read about president saleh the last couple of days mentioned if saudi arabia would allow him to come back. how much control does saudi arabia hold over yemen? >> well, saudi arabia has enormous influence over yemen, in part because they're the big neighbor to the north. clearly they have been the source of financing for president saleh, the large amount of financing that his government has used to control the tribes and his military. and so saudi arabia has a great deal of control. but president saleh has a voice in this as well. and so i find it very hard to believe he's not going to try to get back. but it's not clear that saudi arabia will want that to happen. they'll want to see a peaceful transition here and they don't want to see instability on their doorstep. >> juan zarate, always good to talk to you. juan, thanks. tomorrow our arab summer series continues with a closer look at libya, where moammar gadhafi's 42-year reign is in doubt after weeks of nato air strikes and months of fighting with rebel forces.

but what could happen going forward? we'll take a look at that. right now let's check in with jeff glor at the news desk. >> good morning to you. five american service members were killed in central iraq today. the single largest loss of life for the american military in iraq in two years. iraqi security officials say there was a missile attack on a u.s. base in eastern baghdad and the missiles hit near american living quarters. u.s. combat operations in iraq officially ended last august. strong winds are fanning three large wildfires in arizona. the largest is the wallow fire near the border with new mexico. it's burned over 90,000 acres. more vaevacuations have been ordered. another fire is burning in southern arizona. german officials now say organic sprouts are not the source of an e. coli outbreak. the sprouts were grown at a farm in northern germany that was closed down yesterday. at least 22 people have died from the e. coli outbreak and more than 2200 sickened.

bank's assets on friday. >> i instructed the deputy to go in and take desks, computers, copiers, filing cabinets, including cash in the drawers. >> the cup el says bank of america finally cut a check for over $5,000. the lawyer called it, quote, sweet

her, my words came out slurred. and she says, i think he's having a stroke. when i got to southside, they uncovered two blood clots. they told me that they were going to administer a drug or treatment called tpa to break up the clots that were in my brain. that really hit me hard. your wife is saying to you, asking you, are you okay? and you are like, i don't know? that's kind of bewildering. you want to be able to answer the loved ones, but you can't. had i not received the tba, my speech probably would have been impaired still. my range of motion would have been very slow -- very poor. it saved my life. >> medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton is back with more on treating strokes. good to see you again. we are hearing about this drug, tpa. with this new research about how

often it's used. is it not used often enough? >> that's absolutely correct. only 3% to 5% of stroke patients who get to a hospital in time to get this drug because there is a critical window of opportunity timewise. as soon as possible. but within one to 4 1/2 hours is really the window of opportunity for this drug to work. we have to mention here, there are a lot of different types of strokes. this particular drug, tpa, works to bust up a clot in a certain type of stroke known as an aschemic stroke where it blocks off a blood vessel and deprives that part of the brain of much-needed blood flow. >> as far as from an effective standpoint, we're hearing it is obviously very effective in this case. but overall? >> makes the difference between having a long-term disability in this case, someone who might not be able to speak, or move well and not and getting a full recovery. we always say in neurology, time lost is brain loss so the faster you get this drug, the better your long-term prognosis would

be. >> you mentioned timing. what are the warning signs in, obviously, being able to discover them quickly? >> most people are familiar with the warning signs of a heart attack. less familiar with those of a stroke. we all need to know about this because as the gentleman in this case showed us, his co-workers helped save his life. you can have anything from a is severe headache to someone numbness on the side of your face or side of your body. trouble speaking or in understanding other people's speech. blurry vision or a change in your vision. and a loss of balance. these people can even look drunk in some cases. so again, you need to know what they are for yourself but you also need to recognize them in those around you. >> only 39 years old. that seems remarkably young. >> yep. and we're seeing more and more strokes in younger and younger people. it's not just the elderly. prevention is key. you want to reduce the risk factors you know are associated with stroke. obesity, smoking. if you stop, quit immediately. controlling diabetes and high

blood pressure. but there are also other medical conditions that really stack the deck against you and increase your risk of stroke. sickle cell disease, certain heart disease or vascular disease if you have one of those risk factors or a history of a clotting disorder. talk to your doctor about lowering that risk. >> also remarkable to the see recovery he's made. nice story. >> dr. ashton, nice to see you. we'll be right back. this is "the early show" on cbs. >> announcer: cbs healthwatch sponsored by dove visible care. visibly more beautiful skin from a body wash. creme body wash with nutrium moisture. after 1 week we took their close-ups. when they saw how much more beautiful their skin looked they had only one question... ♪ new dove visible care creme body wash. this flat-out delicious -- the new $3 flatbread breakfast combo.

dramatically. >> the new paradigm is we don't close embassies. we continue to operate regardless of the circumstances. >> reporter: jeff culver, director of ds, says in his 23 years, the agency has never been busier. part of that is because so many agents, more than 600 now, are trained for high-threat environment. by the time they get here, they've generally worked with firearms? >> many of our agents have a police background, military background and that, obviously, helps for most of them. >> reporter: agents have to be proficient with everything from pistols to submachine guns. >> as soon as you squeeze it, there go. not bad. not bad. >> we have our fleet of vehicles we use to train in. >> reporter: but possibly the most important skill of all is driving. >> do you think people realize what an enormous part of the job driving is? >> most people don't because they take it for granted. most people get in the car, put it in drive, just drive away.

>> reporter: ds agents need to be able to get their vehicles and their protectees out of dangerous situations quickly. this is called a j-turn. taking a car that's going in reverse and getting it to drive in the same draeks. we got a hands-on lesson. you are doing this. once you go lock, the car will come around. take this hand and drive it around. >> half gas, full gas. 1,000, 2,000, off gas, steer, gear. they also showed us how to clear a vehicle with a path blocked. >> you're going to drive this car and you're going to ram this car through this car. get in, get buckled up. >> what looks like a vilent demolition derby is a carefully choreographed move. all of this to marketplace

adrenaline. you're going to get excited when things like this happens. the key is to regulate it and to try to stay calm and do the right thing. they call it diplomatic security but one of the guys we talked to said it means do something. >> ds stands for "do something." >> do something smart. >> nice moves behind the wheel. >> the old j-turn. >> jeff, thanks. here's chris. >> as far as the ride home is concerned, i'll walk. thank you, though. li na of china made history at the french open this weekend. she's the first asian-born tennis player ever to win a grand slam singles title. justin gimelstob is a former pro player and now a tennis channel commentator. he joins us. good morning. >> good morning. thanks for having me on. it was an amazing effort by li na. i had the privilege of practicing with her a couple of years ago at the french open when her coach asked me to help with the volleys. ironically one of the few shots

i hit better than her. there was a question as to how she would harness her emotions. but that was emphatically answered this weekend in paris. after nearly two hours of intense competition, china's superstar li na collapsed in euphoria after her historic win on the clay courts at roland garros in paris. li na showed off her powerful serves and blistering forehand, well matched against italy's francesca schiavone. in a sport long recognized for teenage sensations, schiavone at 30 years of age and li na at 29 make up the oldest french open final pairing since 1986 when chris evert beat martina navratilova. the match came to a gripping conclusion with li na playing a perfect second set tiebreak. >> i was like 6-0. i was thinking, okay, don't do a stupid thing. yeah, because like before i have many match point but i never win the match. >> reporter: li na captivated

the chinese audience where 116 million tuned in to watch her country's first grand slam singles title. within four minutes of her victory, more than300,000 messages flooded her web page. >> today is the dream come true. like i was a young player. i want to be the grand champion. i'm getting old. the dream come true. not easy. >> there's no facebook in china. it's not allowed. on the chinese version, li na has over 2 million fans. how much was this victory worth? it could be worth as much as $20 million. her endorsement portfolio already includes nike, babalat, and rolex. and how great is life when you could actually get paid to eat haagen-dazs. chris, that's a dream of ours. >> let's talk about that. it could mean as much as $20 million for her. but as far as the country itself, what does it mean for tennis china? how big a superstar does she now become? >> it is absolutely huge.

and it's huge for the wta. they have targeted the asia-pacific region. over 33% of their tournaments there are. it's huge commercially. they bring in sponsors. and it's going to be a huge part of activating and engaging the next group and next wave of players in asia. >> we see what it did for yao ming in the nba. justin gimelstob, thanks. good to see you. we'll talk to you soon. coming up next on "the early show," in their own words. veterans remember d-day 67 years ago today. this is "the early show" he,,,,,

today is june 6th, d-day. on this day in 1944, allied forces invaded normandy in one of the most massive complicated, secret and successful maneuvers in military history. "operation overlord." the survivors are now old men, but two of them told us they will never forget that fateful day. in two coordinated operations,

24,000 airborne troops attacked just after midnight. at 6:30 that morning, "operation neptune" brought 160,000 troops to the shores of normandy in the largest amphibious assault in history. the famous war correspondent ernie pile tried to describe the scene just prior to landing. the best way i can describe this vast armada and the traffic is to visualize new york city on its busiest day of the year and then just enlarge that scene until it takes in all the ocean the human eye can reach clear around the horizon and over the horizon. there are dozens of times that many. even with a massive armaude ageneral eisenhower knew there was no certainty in war. he issued his historic message to the troops prior to their landing. >> you are about to embark upon the great crusade toward which we have striven these many months. the eyes of the world are upon you. the hopes and prayers of liberty

loving people everywhere march with you. >> reporter: that message was delivered, but eisenhower, the supreme allied commander of the allied expeditionary force kept another message in his pocket. one never used, to be read in case the invasion had failed. it did not fail, but it came with a high price. by the end of the first day, 9,000 men were dead. but over 100,000 were ashore and millions would soon follow. on d-day, 18-year-old private walter blum was a combat engineer among the first to land on omaha beach. 22-year-old lieutenant junior grade tracy sugarman was in control of an amphibious tank and steered his landing vehicle straight for the beach and straight into the enemy's guns. >> everybody was seasick as we circled waiting for our green light to send us into the beach in normandy. and as we got closer to the

beach, you started to hear the noise and see what was happening. and there were boats blown up and there were bodies in the water and it was very noisy. and you could spell cordide and it was chaos. it was just chaos. >> and with the explosions of the guns firing and the shells exploding on the beach and in the water it was almost deafening. >> some boats couldn't make it to the beach, and the soldiers ran off into like eight feet of water and drown. >> and many of the personnel were unable to swim. those that could swim could swim without any equipment on, but when you had 60 pounds of equipment on your back, you were top heavy and the fellows that were shorter than us walked into that water. they just disappeared. the weight of the equipment just took them down. >> everybody had to confront the

reality that you're going to have to fight your way ashore and then you're going to have to fight your way inland. >> a lot of fellows got on the beach with nothing. they lost everything. >> there was firing going on. there were planes roaring in. there were bombs being dropped behind the beaches. everything was going to hell. and you were on your own mission making your way through all of this. >> germans had machine guns up there and mortar shells, and they were bombarding the beach. it was difficult to tell who was shooting at whom. >> the most vivid sight were these army guys. these were kids that were walking into a german army that had been waiting for them. that was staggering to me. >> if anybody asked me, how do you feel? i say i'm scared. everybody was scared. i see the beaches, not in black and white like a documentary, but almost as a nightmare in a

way. >> you saw people that were very alive one minute and very dead the next minute. >> and then when i went to the cemetery on top of omaha beach years later and saw the rows upon rows upon rows upon rows of dead kids who had never started their lives. it made an enormous impression on me. >> when i look back at it, it was amazing the amount of effort that it took to put this together. this was so monumental. >> that war was necessary and it was absolutely essential that we win it. and we did. >> talking about something that changed the course of history. such brave, brave young men. not knowing what they were about

to face. the huge obstacles of not only getting to shore but then having to fight once you were onshore. it was truly the greatest generation. >> absolutely. and it makes such a difference, too. you can read about it, learn about it in school. but until you hear from someone who was there and until they relive it for you in their words, i mean, the impact, it is just so much stronger when you do hear it from their mouth. >> exactly. >> have a wonderful day, everybody. your local news is coming up next. we'll see you right here tomorrow here on "the early show" here on cbs. ñh
