welcome to "cbs this morning." for the second time in four years, giants fans are celebrating and patriot fans are crushed. one look at the front pages will tell you why. >> the giants beat the pats, of course, 21-17 in the super bowl last night, winning it in the final minute. just as they did in 2008. cynthia bauers is in indianapolis, the site of super bowl xlvi. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it was a great game, and if you like symmetry, there was that. we began the week by talking about the manning not playing in super bowl xlvi, and we ended it by talking about the little brother who won it. >> bring up eli manning. >> reporter: the giants' fourth super bowl win was a testimony to a team that managed to overcome energy and adversity turn an uneven start to an incredible finish. >> it's been a wild season. but we have a bunch of tough guys, guys that never quit. >> reporter: eli manning, who completed 30 of 45 passes set a

7:07 am
for the international republican institute. he and at least four of his colleagues who worked here have been banned from leaving the country. and are among 40 workers from nongovernmental organizations an egyptian judge plans to charge. the situation is so serious that secretary of state hillary clinton in munich this weekend warned egyptian officials that the u.s. could cut off more than $1 billion in financial assistance put in place over the last year. >> we will have to closely review these matters as it comes time for us to certify whether or not any of these funds from our government can be made available under these circumstances. >> reporter: it seems to be part of a troubling crackdown on international pro democracy and human rights groups in the country. in december, egyptian security forces carried out 17 raids of nongovernmental organizations the country feels are responsible for the unrest plaguing the country a year
7:08 am
after president hosni mubarak was ousted. >> this is a thin veneer of a political investigation but what's really a political smear campaign. >> reporter: there are reporting this morning that a number of americans charged are really concerned about their security, and they are hiding out in the u.s. embassy in cairo. however, officials won't cop firm that, citing privacy and security concerns. >> thank you very much. early this morning, i spoke with the u.s. ambassador to the united nations. ambassador susan rice. i asked her about the growing violence in syria. but we began with the standoff in egypt, and whether the united states has any options besides cutting off more than $1 billion in aid. >> reporter: well, charlie, first of all, it's important to underscore these americans have done absolutely nothing wrong. they do with what american and international ngo workers do in various different parts of the world, which is to support democratic development and civil society. they need to be released immediately. and come home to their families.
7:09 am
the work that they have done in egypt is to build and support civil society as they seek to build a more democratic egypt. >> is there anything else the united states can do, though? >> well, the united states has been talking to the egyptian government at all levels over the course of the last several weeks, including up until most recent days and hours. will continue to press the egyptian government to understand that this has serious consequences for our bilateral relationship, and that these individuals must be released. >> and let me move now to syria. has the u.s. embassy in syria been closed, and where is ambassador ford? >> charlie, we have been quite concerned as you know for many weeks about the deteriorating security situation in syria. we have asked the syrian government repeatedly to ensure the safety and security of our facilities and our perm. -- our personnel. we have been very concerned that that security protection hasn't
7:10 am
been forthcoming. so we will consider all options necessary to ensure the protection of our personnel. beyond that, i can't go into any detail. >> why is china and russia, especially russia, not wanting to see the kind of action that you sought in the united states? -- in the united nations? >> in the united nations. charlie, what happened on saturday was really as secretary clinton said a travesty. the entire security council, 13 countries less china and russia, were ready to pass a resolution that would have been quite important in that it would have supported the arab league plan, and that plan entails a democratic transition in which president assad would have to delegate his authority and responsibility to his vice president, to negotiate the terms of a transition. russia and china rejected it. russia decided again as it has for many months, as it's been protecting the assad regime, it would rather stand with a
7:11 am
dictator, rather protect somebody whose days are numbered, than side with the syrian people and the people of the middle east, who are protesting peacefully for their basic universal rights. this was a decision i think that over time russia and china will come to regret. it was short-sighted. they are the ones that are isolated now along with the assad regime. >> so are we looking at civil war in syria? >> charlie, i think that tragically, the risk of that is increasing because this was perhaps one of the last opportunities to back and support the arab league in their efforts to bring the parties to the table to negotiate a peaceful transition to democracy. certainly the united states and the rest of the members of the security council minus china and russia have an interest, as do the arab league, in a very peaceful transition. we'll continue to promote that and continue to step up the pressure on the assad regime through all means diplomatic, economic, and otherwise. but the risk of civil war is indeed increasing. >> ambassador rice, thank you
7:12 am
very much for joining us. >> good to be with you. the case of missing utah mother susan powell took a horrific turn on sunday in washington state. officials say her husband, who was a person of interest in that case, killed their two children and himself. national correspondent ben tracy is in washington this morning. ben, good morning. >> reporter: it is a very sad morning here on the west coast and at this elementary school where these two young boys went. their father, josh powell, has been considered a so-called person of interest since 2009 when his wife disappeared. then this past week on wednesday a judge refused to give him custody of his boys, and that may be why police say he set his house on fire, killing himself and his children. this home video shot minutes after firefighters first arrived on the scene shows the home of josh powell engulfed in flames. >> just heard a huge explosion. it shook my house. and then i ran outside, and the whole house was on fire. almost immediately.
7:13 am
>> reporter: inside, officials found the bodies of powell and his two young sons, 7-year-old charles and 5-year-old braden. >> there's some things we may never know because the person who murdered the two kids killed himself, and he may be the only one with answers. >> reporter: about 10 minutes before the fire started, powell reportedly sent his attorney an email that read, i'm sorry, goodbye. then just minutes after his children were dropped off by a social worker for a supervised visit, the explosion occurred. >> this particular occasion, he grabbed the kids, locked her out of the house, and immediately the house went up in flames. we believe that the house fire went up so quick that accelerants were used. >> reporter: he was involved in a bitter custody battle with his children's grandparents. last week a washington judge denied powell custody of his two sons and ordered him to undergo a psycho sexual investigation after pornography was found on his father's computer. powell's fitness as a father has been under scrutiny since the mysterious disappearance of his wife, susan cox powell, from their utah home in december of
7:14 am
2009. powell told investigators that on the night his wife went missing, he had taken his sons camping in a blizzard to a remote part of the state. in an interview with cbs news, powell denied having any involvement in her disappearance. >> did you kill your wife? >> have i never even hurt her. people have been -- people that know me know that i would never hurt susan. >> reporter: but an attorney for the cox family says that the kids had recently started to open up about what happened on the night of their mother's disappearance. >> they had gone camping. their mother had been in the trunk. and that later their mom and dad walked out into the desert and mommy got lost. >> reporter: at charlie and braden's school, students and parents gathered for a candlelight vigil. and while investigators piece together what happened in washington, police in utah will be taking a fresh look at the disappearance and josh powell's involvement.
7:15 am
>> this is a terrible act of murder involving two young children. let's call it like it is. let's call it a horrible murder, because that's exactly what we have here. >> reporter: now state officials have reportedly said they did not consider josh powell a danger to his children. of course, given the events now, many questions are being asked whether enough was done to protect these two young boys from their father. >> ben, thank you very much. senior correspondent john miller is with us this morning. good morning. >> john, i know have you been in touch with the sheriff, who you know very well. what happens today? where does this go from here? >> a number of things. the fire marshal continues their crime scene investigation to learn more about how this was done, how much preparation went into it, how much premeditation went into it. the cause of death, that actually is something that they are very interested in determining, because they want to know if the children were killed before the explosion in the moments after they got in the house or they all died in the explosion and prior. and they have subpoenaed all of
7:16 am
the emails, not just from mr. powell but also from his father, who is in jail there, to see was there any communication about this. and did anybody else know. >> because there was some stuff that had come out recently that we're hearing about now in the aftermath that the children had apparently started to talk a little bit more about the night that their mother apparently disappeared. >> and there is a theory among investigators, just a theory at this point, that they may have gotten past the age they could keep secrets and that more of this information might slip out or that they might realize more of what they knew about the disappearance of their mother. >> when you look at this case and where it is going, do we know what the grandfather is saying? >> no. i don't. i mean, he's in prison because of the results of a search warrant at the house showed that he had taken photographs of local children on the street, but also was in possession of what the authorities are saying was child pornography, and that was the driving reason that they said the children shouldn't be
7:17 am
in the house because that was his house. >> and how much objection was there to having the kids be put in the possession of the father who killed them? >> obviously, the grandparents on the mother's side objected to that. but this is very common in child custody cases where if the father is not charged with a crime, not incarcerated, but suspected of it, they are entitled to a supervised visit. and that caseworker was

7:31 am
fee hike. >> reporter: just before christmas, american workers got a rare gift from washington politicians. the current payroll tax cut would be extended for two more months. >> i said it was critical for congress not to go home without preventing a tax increase on 160 million works americans. >> on january 1st, no american worker will see an increase in their taxes. >> reporter: but there's something the politicians weren't bragging about. how they're paying for the two-month tax cut with what's turned into a brand new fee on home buyers. it's bad news for patty anderson, who's buying a home in virginia. >> you're going to be paying a new fee or tax for 30 years. >> as long as i hold a mortgage, mortgage.a 30-year fixed - >> reporter: the new fee is a minimum of a tenth of 1% on fannie mae and freddie mac backed loans. it will be imposed for the next ten years and it lasts for the
7:32 am
life of the loan. for each $200,000, it amounts to an extra $15 a month. keep in mind, patty is getting a couple hundred dollars from having her payroll tax cut extended two months. wait until you hear how much more the new mortgage fee is costing her. >> has your mortgage broker given you the bad news as to what the total cost to you is going to be? >> almost $9500. >> did you catch your breath? >> oh, my god, yes. i was absolutely startled that it would add up to that much. >> reporter: the $35.7 billion collected won't go into the social security fund to replace the lost payroll tax. it goes to the general pressutr, where congress with spend it however they please. bill burnett is patty's broker. he says you won't see congress's new charge in the paperwork, but it's there. >> it's built into this race. you would never see the fee as a cost to you. >> you seem to be saying pretty

much everybody who refinances or buys a new house in the next ten years is going to be affected. >> i would say it's a very large number. your pocketbook is being raided to pay for a tax policy issue decided the last minute by probably people who didn't understand fully what they were legislating on. >> reporter: we went to capitol hill to ask what congress was thinking when they passed the mortgage fee hike. first, we caught up with republican house speaker john boehner. >> as you're well aware, this bill came over from the senate. i don't know how they justified it. we would have rather have offset that two-month extension with reductions in spending. >> reporter: but the senate blamed the house and democrats and republicans blamed each other. we did find one congressman, republican allen west, who said he tried to blow the whistle on the whole thing before christmas. >> i read the legislation, and i
7:34 am
raised the flag. unfortunately, no one paid attention to what i was saying at the time. >> is this a back door tax increase on the middle class? >> it absolutely is. you're talking about homeowners. when you talk about the people that are going to be using the fannie mae, the freddie mac, it's absolutely a tax increase on them. >> reporter: an obama administration defended the mortgage fee calling it modest. she said it's unlikely to negatively affect borrowers because increases will be phased in over the next two years, and it will help bring private capital back into the mortgage market, which is good for borrowers over the long term. maybe so, but patty anderson only knows that for the next 30 years, she'll be haunted by the washington ghost of christmas past. >> i think it just looks like washington grabbing more money. >> sheryl atkinson is with us now. first of all, no one seems to be willing to take responsibility, even as to whether it's republicans or democrats. >> i can't tell you how many people blamed other people on

knew a lot more than i did. and i know very little. in fact, i try not to read any scholarly articles about cancer because half of them are pretty scary quite frankly. >> did your own advice hold up? >> it did. the healthcare team has just been great. but you know, i've learned that them talking to each other sometimes, it's fragmented. i'm just wondering if it could be better. >> you said you're not afraid to die. >> no. >> but you still must live with some fear, fear of the unknown. >> i fear the last month. my wife is in hospice for many, many years and she does end of life research. she's seen the end-stage of dying with cancer as with other chronic illnesses. >> i don't want to leave this without this notion. the message you have for people who are discovering they have a terminal illness. >> my 92-year-old mentor told me. this is going to be a war for

good morning. 7:56. i'm grace lee. with your cbs 5 headlines. a case of good timing in morning in oakland when a brick facade on a liquor store fell into the street. the store express liquor at 13th avenue and international boulevard. it happened to be closed at the time. you can see where the bricks fell off the facade. and since it happened when it was closed, no one was there. and no one was injured. a school in san francisco is set to reopen today. days after a nasty stomach virus sickened more than 300 students and teachers. the problem at saint ignatius college preparatory began on tuesday when 50 students called in sick, and dozens who did attend began vomiting in crash cans in campus rest rooms. they have since sanitized that campus. we will have an update on the traffic and weather, it will start raining, all coming up in a moment.
7:57 am
7:58 am
good morning, you can definitely tell the commute is under way. a lot of busy spots across the bay area. coming into downtown san jose, this is what it looks like on the northbound lanes of 280. stop and go approaching the 880, highway 17 interchange. it looks like that, pretty sluggish to highway 85. not quite too bad actually on the nimitz. 880 through oakland. usually it gets busier in the northbound lanes especially toward downtown oakland. a little sluggish this morning between 238 and the maze. that is traffic. for your forecast, here is lawrence. >> those clouds are starting to move into the skies now. no rain yet. but i think later on we will see rain moving into the bay area. strong gusty winds, too as the weather changes a bit. calm and the temperatures still running in the 30s and 40s and a couple of 50s beginning to show up toward the coastline and into vallejo. this afternoon, it will be rather mild. with temperatures above the average. likely seeing some kids kicking up toward the coastline and a sign of the storm system through the bay area. rain heavy overnight. with strong gusty winds.

8:01 am
for the first time in this case, george huguely will step foot in a courtroom. he's expected to plead not guilty before jury selection begins, kicking off a grueling trial that will detail a relationship gone terribly wrong. 21 months later, the wounds are still deep. the slaying of a classmate with another on trial for murder. >> we feel the pain that he has inflicted on our university. >> reporter: has left university of virginia students eager for answers. >> in many ways, people are just bracing themselves as many of these uncomfortable memories will be put on the table again. >> reporter: maye 3, 2010, yardly love was found dead in her dorm. the accused killer, her an off again boyfriend. both were players on the lacrosse teams. their story gripped the campus in sadness and gained national attention. >> it forced us to take a hard
8:02 am
look at what the school was doing as far as domestic violence and domestic abuse. >> reporter: on the day of the murder, huguely reportedly went into a drunken rampage. he admitted to police he kicked in love's bedroom door, shook her, and her head repeatedly hit the wall. she died officially from blunt force trauma. huguely's attorneys argue he had no intention to kill. there are also reports of an abusive relationship, and huguely's previous run-ins with the law. incidents the university knew nothing about until too late. >> i remember that phone call at 2:15 that morning from the police. >> reporter: the dean of students says following the tragedy, uva beefed up security measures and outreach procedures. now the website prompts all students to disclose any previous arrest. >> in the case of george huguely, might this policy have changed the outcome? >> possibly. i would have liked to have had that chance. >> reporter: george huguely is facing six felony charges
8:03 am
ranging from first-degree murder to burglary. the prosecution is seeking a life sentence. >> thank you. cbs news legal analyst is with us now. he joins us. i thought that was interesting. the range from burglary to first-degree murder. i remember, jack, this case very, very well because it was so -- the details were so devastating about this young woman. how difficult to you think it is to get an impartial jury when there have been so many details about the case? >> it's a small community. charlottesville is a small community. lovely area down there. small circuit court. most people think, if you know something about a case, you're disqualified. that's not true. you can have followed the case. you could have watched it here. as long as you can say to a judge and to the lawyers, i know something about it but i haven't made up my mind yet. i'm willing to listen to both sides before i make a decision here. then you can qualify as an impartial juror. >> in most cases when you hear jurors talk about it, when there's been a difficult case,
8:04 am
they sound very reasonable and took their job very seriously. >> they did. i tried a couple dozen murder cases. jurors work very hard at doing the right job. >> what do you think the defense strategy will be? >> prosecution has a shot not only at murder one, but felony murder, which actually gets you into the murder one category. it's easier to prove. the defense is looking at this and they're saying, we're going to challenge the cause of death. they have suggested she was taking medication, might have been drinking, and it might have had something to do with the death. if i'm the defense attorney, what i'm really hoping for here is i can get jurors off of the murder category down into a manslaughter category. manslaughter means, essentially, the death was accidental when you were engaged in something that might have been unlawful or reckless. the classic situation, playing with a gun and it goes off shooting your friend. the key thing is he didn't mean to hurt her, it happened accidently. manslaughter is ten years

8:15 am
for you. what was it? >> it's a story of an obsessive character, and i was obsessive about getting it to the screen. it's about our value and self-worth and how it is often tabulated by a failure. do you look at the billy bean character -- he had been completely devalued by his sport. he's playing for a small market team and had to rethink the team and question why we had been doing the things we did for so long. in doing so, found this whole other pool of talent that had been devalued and started winning games. they got a second chance and started winning games. i thought there was a story worth telling now about success and failure. >> you felt a kinship with him. >> yes, definitely. you know, he was emotional about the games. he wouldn't watch the games.
8:16 am
i understand that to some degree. there were attributes about him and this push and this need to make things fair, to find a level playing field. if we're going to compete, let's make it fair. i'm a bit of a justice nut. >> and going against the odds and the perceptions. here, this television program, which is now in its fourth or fifth week, we showed it to the staff at the beginning just to say, here's the story of somebody going against the odds and against expectations and against conventional wisdom. >> and you can actually win in unconventional ways. >> and it didn't go well for him at the beginning. >> no, he was labeled a heretic, a fool. >> when you move into your own life, family had meant what to you? you find ourself in a career that has evolved. what has family added to it?
8:17 am
>> family has added everything to it. in a strange way, i look at the work, the work has gotten better because i worry less about it. i mean, it's not as important. there's family. family becomes the nucleus, becomes the source of joy and the source of worry. it takes any pressure of self b self-abso self-absorbtion we can have and makes it freer. >> and it makes the performance, i assume, when you're on stage less intense. you have more time. >> that's right. we got to get on. i got to get the kids to bed. >> it won't be 20 takes. it will be ten takes. >> that's right. we have to get it right. let the chips fall where they may. >> if you hadn't adopted and hadn't had children, it would have been a far different life. >> it certainly would have been -- >> for you and them. >> yes, absolutely. i mean, absolutely.
8:18 am
i don't know that they would -- i hesitate to say it, but may not be here. i think of the joy that we have in our family because we are together. i just -- i couldn't imagine. >> i want you to take a look at this. this is a clip that angelina did for "60 minutes" in a conversation with bob simon. here it is. it reflects, i think, a philosophy. >> used to be a bad girl. you you're a u.n. ambassador. you're a member of the council on foreign relations. you're a humanitarian activist. do you ever miss being a bad girl? >> i'm still a bad girl. >> yeah? >> you know, i still have that side of me that is -- it's just in its place now. it belongs, you know, to brad or it belongs to our adventures. >> there is a kind of attitude. >> she's still a bad girl. >> she is a bad girl.
8:19 am
>> yeah. well, it's not for public consumption. >> i'm struck by the fact that you two have this dual career when she's making a film, you're with her. when you're making a film or promoting a fill. she's with you. >> and they're with us. >> and the kids all there. >> always. >> is that easy for them or difficult for them? >> well, they're quite used to a bit of jet lag and moving to a new location. as long as we're together, so the home is always intact. >> they take their own blankets with them? >> they pack their own bags. they're responsible if their leave their chargers behind and so on. >> you have also been a person who has taken an interest in the living conditions of people in new orleans after katrina, you know, with your own passion for architecture. how is that going? >> i keep saying this. it keeps exceeding my expectations. you know, we got in there as a justice issue. the people were put in a dangerous situation, living
8:20 am
behind inadequately built walls. told they could live there, on a slab, and people were killed because of it. we felt a need to make that right, to just do it right. do it right the first time. so we won't suffer from these kinds of catastrophes. by the way, it's a lot cheaper. >> the project is to redefine low-income housing in a way that has what? >> that is built sustain bli and at a competitive price. you talk about a game changer, i think that's a game changer. it's time. for us to -- we've learned so much on this project -- to build other nucleuses around. this is where we got to go. >> you've been to the white house. you know the president. you support the president. >> i wouldn't say i know him. i've had -- i've been able to meet him. >> you've had conversations with him. >> yes, i am absolutely a supporter. >> is there a role for the federal government here? >> well, you know, h.u.d. helped us out a lot.
8:21 am
h.u.d. is doing some great things in this direction, but i think it's got to be the nasa program. let's just make the shift. why are we still exporting so much of our gdp, half a trillion dollars, to support this dependency on oil? why are we still fighting with our military? why are we still polluting our environment? it makes no sense anymore. >> do you have those kinds of conversations with politicians as well as with friends? >> yes, i had a great conversation about it a few weeks ago with the vice president, actually. >> and he's responsive. >> very much so. >> if someone said you had to give up acting, that would be a hard day for you. >> yes, it would, because i am on the producer side now. i'm developing stories that i think resonate with our time in some way. i feel like i'm now, more than
8:22 am
ever, clearer about what i can add to this great art of story telling. >> do you see a role model that represents the kind of life that you would like to have? i mean, look at the kind of life that paul newman had. he was an actor and had these passions away from film, racing. he also, in a sense, had an evolution in terms of the roles he wanted to do. >> yeah, i think we could learn a lot from his example. if i get anywhere near that, i'd be pretty satisfied. >> there was one thing i found amazing as i looked at the thing about you. it was the notion, speaking of politics, that newt gingrich may not be the first person to say if there was somebody to play my life, i would like for it to be brad pitt. >> really? i just insulted him last week in an interview. i think he'd move on to someone else now. >> thank you again. brad pitt. we'll be right back. you're watching "cbs this morning." watching "cbs this morning."
