we begin with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. syria under siege as government forces bombard its own citizens. >> we need to defend operations at our embassies in damascus. >> al-assad is killing his own people. >> los angeles replaces the entire staff of an elementary school in the midst of a widening abuse scandal. >> after the arrest of two teachers on the charges of lewd contact. >> i want everybody to know they don't watt the media there. >> the obama campaign is returning $200,000 that is linked to a mexican casino owner facing drug charges. >> the white house answers campaign finance questions and flip-flops on controversial super pac donations. >> authorities say josh powell tried to kill his sons before he set the fire. the children had neck and head injuries. >> there were too many warning signs. >> he destroyed the evidence because those guys could have been the best evidence against

him. >> fear under the big top as a motorcycle stunt goes horribly wrong. >> they've been causing problems for melbourne police. >> all that. >> not a whole lot. i don't know if he likes me. >> i don't think he should be allowed to criticize a professional athlete when you weigh less than a rake. >> and all that matters. >> extreme athlete on a not so tight rope. >> on "cbs this morning." >> there's your halftime show. welcome to "cbs this morning." it is 7:00 a.m. in the west. last night for the first time president obama's re-election campaign began asking major contributors to give money to a

super pac that supports the president. >> this marks a dramatic change in policy for the president. we want to bring you now senior white house correspondent bill plant. good morning. >> reporter: that's right. late last night they signaled that they are open to contributions from super pacs. the campaign and the white house officials will appear at these fundraisers. they won't ask for the money. the president and first lady won't be there, but they will signal it's okay to take this kind of money. it's not surprising given that the republicans have raised $50 million already this year and it is not the first time that the president has reversed himself on fundraising. in 2008 he said it first, that he would take public financing, but then he changed his mind and said he wouldn't. this time it comes after his denuns siation of the supreme court decision that allowed this unlimited fundraising. here is what he said in his state of the union message two years ago. >> i don't think american elections should be bank rolled

by america's most powerful interests. or, worse, by foreign enemies. they should be decided by the american people. and i'd urge democrats and republicans to pass a bill that helps correct some of these problems. >> reporter: now of course no bill was passed. the president has continued to condemn that supreme court ruling, but now his campaign manager says in an e-mail that the campaign has to face the reality that the law as it currently stands allows this. >> bill, there was some controversy over a separate campaign donation to the campaign of a couple hundred thousand dollars and the people that it came from. give us some background on this and what the white house knew about the money ahead of time. >> reporter: i'll tell you shall the campaign had to quickly return $200,000 when they found out the two brothers were in jail related to drug charges. the campaign said we had no idea when we got this money that it

was tainted in any way and these things happen. they look at their contributors constantly, but sometimes this stuff slips through, as it has in the past. erica. >> bill plante reporting from the white house this morning. thanks very much. the gop presidential campaign is focused squarely on three states today. mitt romney wants to cement his status as a front-runner in the contest while newt gingrich is looking for a way to stay in the race. political correspondent jan crawford is in chilly denver. good morning. >> good morning, erica. good morning to the west. here in snowy denver we heard from newt gingrich yesterday. he's retooling his campaign after he lost big in the last two states. he's going to do what he does best, bash the media and defend conservative principles. >> the elite media would love to talk us into nominating another moderate. >> reporter: gingrich is down but not out. he rallied to fight to the end

all the way until august. on a radio show monday he came out firing against a favorite target, the media. >> they get up every morning thinking, gee, there's got to be some way we can get gingrich out of this race. >> reporter: that's gingrich back to form with a combative message that worked in south carolina where he was dominant. in the next few weeks he isn't expected to make much head way. today's contests in colorado and minnesota aren't expected to go his way. some polls indicate he could lose to rick santorum. in missouri he's not even on the ballot. gingrich isn't focused on february, he's looking at march where he hopes to rack up wins in southern states. tennessee and georgia march 6th, alabama and mission sip pi a week later. romney is campaigning hard at them all. this rally had a high school marching band. >> this president was elected to lead. he decided to follow. now it's his time to get out of the way.

>> reporter: romney is keeping his focus on the president. gingrich's attacks have hurt and he could have some trouble in a race against obama. as the race has gotten more negative, people have increasing negative views of both romney and gingrich. by a two to one margin americans say the more they learn about romney, the less they like him. the chairman of the republican national committee says he's not worried. >> i think that the primary fight as it stands is actually helping the republican party. i think it makes our candidates stronger. i think it forces the media to talk about our side of the aisle almost nonstop. >> reporter: after today's voting the media might be talking a lot more about rick santorum. he's been campaigning hard in these three states and he's expected to have a strong showing. santorum, ron paul, gingrich all are saying they are not getting out of this race so it could go on for a while. >> jan, thanks. john dickerson is with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> the story of the super pacs and this change of a decision by the obama campaign says what

about the looming fight with republicans to have the most money in the general election? >> it's going to be big, this fight. it's going to be ugly. we've already seen this. it's going to be on the air waves. what the obama camp saw is these fundraising numbers from last year. the republicans able to raise so much money. they also saw what romney was able to do with newt gingrich in florida. just absolutely bury him under ads. they started to worry about what this was going to mean for the president in the general election. >> what do we know about how the obama campaign looks at romney as a competitor? >> well, they look at him basically -- he has a great argument. the economy's bad. the election will be a referendum on the president. here's a candidate who can say i understand the economy. he has a good top line argument. they see real weakness at the core. they've been hammering at that for months. they are hoping they can keep going at that core. say he doesn't have a core. he's constantly flip-flopping. they can hope to undermine him. they are very happy with these new polls that show the

president doing better against romney and seeing romney's negatives. the unfavorable view people have of romney has been going on. >> some of it from the gingrich attacks. >> exactly. some of the things that romney had to do to combat those attacks. he had to get a little bit more negative, seem a little bit more unpleasant as a candidate. >> in terms of getting negative to the republican message, the job numbers were better than expected, unemployment at 8.3%. for the republicans to use that, to use the economy, they do have to go negative. >> they have to go negative but the president has to go negative. good job numbers are good for this president, but this is still a country in which people think over 70% think we're going in the wrong direction. they still think the president's stewardship on the economy, the thing they care the most about, has not been very good. the president has a tuf hand here too. that's another reason why he had to make this decision on the super pacs. it's ugly. it will be on the air waves and they need to compete. >> as always the campaign will

be for the independents and where they might be in this general election. >> that's right. the argument will be about the economy and what the president will try to do is what he tried to do in his state of the union, say slow and steady recovery we're getting better. these why these economic numbers were a little bit of a problem for romney. when the numbers come out and suggest the economy is getting better, that makes a much more complicated argument for romney. >> he'll have to attack to the center. >> yes. romney will have to attack to the center, exactly right. that's one of the reasons he wants the republican race to get over quickly. >> thank you. in syria this morning there are reports of new violence against anti-government protests in homs. this after the u.s. embassy shut it down. they have closed its borders to reporters. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. we've been staying here with a group who call themselves the syrian liberation army.

they're keen to emphasize that they are not a part of the free syrian army. they are not all former soldiers who defected from the actual syrian army. while we've been staying with them it's been very interesting to see just exactly what they're up against. this is a military force or a rebel force, rather, of men who are carrying grenades. they are fighting against an army with tanks and with artillery. the fear is that the syrian army will start to use their air power soon. they have no match for that sort of power. >> what is their battle plan? how do they expect to proceed over the next weeks ahead? >> reporter: i think they were planning an operation whereby they hope to carve out a sort of free zone in the north of the country similar to what we saw in benghazi and libya. the problem at the moment is they're very fearful of launching any serious offenses until they know there is some kind of underlying support from

the international countries. otherwise, they are just living in fear that the syrian army will launch some form of air assault and with no support from the international community that would obviously completely des sim mate them. >> as you know, there's a great debate at the united nations where there was a veto by russia and china for further action. are they realistic in expecting that there will be some help from outside? >> reporter: i can't say whether they're realistic or not. that's for the united nations to decide. but certainly they are growing -- there has been no formal commitment from the international community to give support to the opposition here and to prevent them from being further assaulted by the syrian army. >> is there a sense that there might be a civil war looming ahead? >> reporter: there is a great deal of concern here that if bashar al-assad's regime was to

fall what will come in its place? as i said before, these rebel forces have loose affiliations. they have different interests. they have different religions. certainly if you talk to a lot of experts in the region, there are very serious concerns that it could evolve into civil war. we've heard in homs of shelling coming from aloe wiet areas into sunni areas. a very concerning development if that is, indeed, true. >> cla ris is a, thanks very much. as always, be safe. >> reporter: thank you, charlie. >> we will have more from northern syria tonight on the cbs evening news. we have new information now on the deaths of missing mom susan powell's husband and two children. this morning officials in washington state say josh powell carefully planned the murder/suicide. brutally attacking his sons before setting fire to the house. national correspondent ben tracy has more. >> reporter: as arson investigators continue to search through what's left of the powell home, the medical

examiner now says 7-year-old charlie and 5-year-old brayden powell suffered chop injuries to their head and necks. the sheriff says their father, josh powell, then started the house on fire. >> they found two five gallon cans of gas, one of them was with the bodies. the other one we believe was spread throughout the house. there was excel ler ranlts throughout the house. >> reporter: police say before he carried out the murder/suicide he donated his kids toys to charity and left instructions about his personal effects in multiple e-mails. >> he sent e-mails out to family, a pastor, other people, making sure that everybody knew he was gone, that he was the one that did this. he had put a plan in motion and he carried it out. >> reporter: powell had been under police scrutiny following the suspicious disappearance of his wife, susan cox powell. six days ago he lost a battle against susan's parents for custody of his sons. >> senseless slaughter of two innocent children. >> chuck and judy cox say their

grandchildren were at their home. >> they were having a good time. they didn't want to stop and go see daddy today. they had seemed to be losing interest in going to see him. >> reporter: it was judy who talked the boys into going, and she says she will have to live with that regret. >> yeah, because look what happened. but i knew that they were supposed to be able to see their dad. >> there were too many warning signs that i feel were known but due to legal limitations were unable to be acted upon. >> reporter: josh powell never mentioned susan in his good-bye e-mails. an attorney for the cox family said the kids had recently talked about seeing their mom in the trunk of the car the night she van fished. he also says authorities also told the family that josh powell was likely to be arrested in the coming months. >> one of the things that was done here was he destroyed the evidence. as callous as that sounds, he

destroyed the evidence because those guys could have been the best evidence against him. >> reporter: for "nbc 10 news today," i'm ben tracy in los angeles. this morning in los angeles officials are removing the entire staff of an elementary school at the center of a growing teacher sex abuse investigation as john blackstone reports, angry parents are demanding even more answers. >> what do we want? >> justice. >> we have hired and screened the entire staff that will come in. >> reporter: the los angeles unified school district announced monday that the entire staff, 150 teachers and other workers, will be replaced by thursday. miramante is one of the country's largest grammar schools with at least 1500 students. the move is in an attempt to restore confidence in a school system that parents say has failed to protect their children. >> my son gets to see another new thing at school. mom, what's going on? why is everybody out there? i just don't have any answers for my son anymore at this

point. >> reporter: the controversy began last week when two teachers, mark burnt, and martin springer were arrested on charges they sexually abused students. burnt is charged with 23 lewd acts including taking pictures of young students bound and gagged with tape. springer has been accused of fondling two 7-year-old girls in his class. >> actions that we're taking is trying to support staff and to simultaneously determine if there are individuals who have done something wrong. >> reporter: it's expected that many staff members will be re-admitted after an internal review. parents' anger is growing, however, over the secrecy of the investigation, which is has been ongoing for at least three years. parents have learned that burnt was investigated and cleared by authorities as far back as 1994. >> it's an outrage for something like this to go on. >> reporter: and even this attempt to reassure parents appears to have fallen short as school officials ban the meed

why from attending the announcement further inflaming already angry parents. >> they're covering up something, that's why they don't want the media in there. >> reporter: for "nbc 10 news today," this national weather report sponsored by city bank. what's your story? city can help you write it. learn more at thank you card.citi.com.

and a couple of things to keep in mind. first, the bailout of chrysler began during the bush administration with $4 billion. another $8.5 billion was added during the obama administration. a total of $12.5 billion. about 90% of it was paid back but this is going to be a political football for the foreseeable future, i'm sure. charlie and erica? ooh. >> they believe it's a very big plus for him because the president mentions it all the time and so does his staff. i'm sure we'll see a lot more during the campaign. >> absolutely. it fits in nicely with the fundamental campaign message which biden summed up. bin laden is dead and chrysler is very much alive. she defended her husband quarterback tom brady. she seemed to take aim at his teammates which is not exactly

experiencing with his team a victory this sunday. >> new england patriots. >> reporter: but come sunday when the clock ran out on a final hail mary, that prayer went unanswered. >> he can't get it. incomple incomplete. >> reporter: filing out of the stadium, bundchen as we see in this video as filmed by the "insider" was heckled by a giants fachblt she then defended brady. it is not the first time that bundchen has burned up the tabloids. two years ago shortly after having a baby, bundchen called for a, quote, worldwide law that all mothers should have to breast-feed for at least six months. if some new moms were innocenced by that, some players may be incensed by this. fan favorite wes welker was his own biggest critic after the

she actually was taking a picture with a fan. she said to us that her husband played amazing. and then as she walked to the elevator, a fan walked toward her and said, eli manning owns your husband. now, i thought gisele was going let it go. it was a tough moment for her and i thought she was going to walk to the elevator, get on the elevator and leave, but then she raised her voice so the fan and others could hear and she let out her now famous tirade. >> now, who recorded this? >> we did. we were right there. she looked back at us. she knew we were there, and she knew we were rolling. there was no question that we were there and we were filming her. >> have you made any effort, i'm sure you have, to get them to respond to the story as it's gone viral? >> sure. but here's the thing, charlie, as you know. gisele really does not talk to the media. so that's why when we walked into the hallway, i was shocked she was there. and when i called out my first

question and i said how do you think your husband played. she said he was amazing and turned around and told us that. to get that video of gisele and be there with gisele was a pretty big coup. >> what was it like? it looks like another wife was right next to her. >> right. and she looked immediately at us because she realized it was a gaffe by gisele. look, i'm a coach's kid who used to cry after my dad's team lost cases. this was raw. this is something much bigger than i ever experienced but gisele's got to know better. she's in the eye of the storm, and the fans and the people around her wanted a reaction. yeah, our camera was there, but there were a ton of people who had their iphones and blackberries up recording gisele

as she walked. i was surprised that she did it and a lot of people heard it. >> one thing before we go, the notion that she probably would not have said this unless the heckler

story because the numbers keep growing. i was having a conversation with a friend who said to me she believes it probably started out as a prank with the girls and then caught on. i find it hard to believe they could fake the symptoms so uniformly. >> well, and the doctor says he doesn't believe it's a hoax. >> i hope rachel was listening with both ears. there are talks from people who say it started off one way, and now it's gotten out of control. >> you never, never know, fwbut this is real. conversion disorder is absolutely common. i've seen it many times in the emergency room. people come in with sensation problems. it doesn't make sense. but it's real. just because we can't find something on the mri doesn't the idea that this is -- they say there's nothing neurological going on. well, there is. all of psychology is neurology. we just don't understand the wiring that makes us neurotic or makes us have schizophrenia. >> we hear a lot about the fact

this is caused by stress. we spoke with a colleague of the doctor you spoke with. she couldn't tell us because of privacy issues what the specific stresses were these girls mentioned. if you look at teenage girls, is there anything typically, in terms of stress that, you think could contribute to this? >> well, if you look at the studies, which i did last night -- >> i didn't. so go ahead. >> there's anxiety, depression, sexual problems in terms of if there's a sexual attack. i'm not saying that's what's going on here. >> but that could be a trigger. >> that could be a trigger. very often, there's morbid conditions, meaning there's other things going on. there's anxiety. there's depression. but these are real, real, real. i tell you what i wonder about and worry about as a doctor. if you're a hammer, the world's a nail, right? okay. let's take them for their word. this is conversion disorder. they're being treated, and they can get better. i worry that eventually someone

online dating is now the second most common way to meet. that's through a study. the number one way is meeting through friends. >> it goes way beyond falling in love. dr. jeffrey hancock is a scientist at cornell. he studies the internet and how we communicate. good morning. >> good morning. >> how does it affect the way we communicate? >> it's amazing. i affects every part of our lives from meeting friends, hanging out with friends, all the way to my daughter skyping with her grandparents who live thousands of miles away to meeting new lovers. >> my impression is a lot of people we know use this more than we know because there's still this notion i would nltd do that, but people do, and

people that we know. >> yeah. there's a stigma around online dating for a long time. mostly because it's new and new is sort of if you're nerdy and you can't find somebody you would use this. but now a fifth of americans are using this. it's a lot. >> so we have to let the social stigma go. i'm like charlie. we're still a little worried. we very to let go of the stigma that it's for nerdy people or for losers. it has changed. we have to officially embrace it, do we not? >> and the reason people are scared is we've been dating for thousands and thousands of years with another body. but now the body's not there. so there was a lot of trust issues. how can i tell if the person's a good person or not. now that people have been doing fitter years, it's no worse than meeting somebody in the bar, that's for sure. >> what is it like? there is still -- even if the stigma's gone, you get the profile and think where is that picture really from? how much do they lie?

>> a little bit. >> a little bit. how honest are people? >> they're pretty honest. let's face it. people do lie. but in the real world we lie as well. we wear heels and put makeup on. >> what's to lie about that? what's the lie about that, doctor? professor. >> how can that be? >> the online dating they're putting their best face forward. yes, women will put up a little bit older versions so it's a younger version of themselves and men will lie about how tall they are. sometimes they run into somebody that isn't at all like they say. most of them are small lies. if it's a big lie and they go to meet for coffee, game over. >> what are people looking for. >> love. some people, if you're in your 20s, you're looking for a marriage partner. others want a one-night stand. let's say you're in your 60s or 70s and lost a loved one, haven't dated for 40 years.

this is a way to find single people out there. there's a computer between you and them and it takes away some of the emotions. >> increasingly we're seeing more and more people over 55. >> that's right. seniors are a major growing population on the online dating world. >> you can measure that by the commercials you see. >> that's right. >> i'm back to what you said about one-night stands. are there people looking for -- you said love. i don't think a one-night stand is love. are there a lot of people seeking one-night stands? i'm not trying to be cute. i'm surprised about that. >> say you're a guy in new york city and you want to date a lot of women. >> you can just walk out the door. you don't have to get online. >> when you walk out the door, you're watching a badge. >> you think it's easy. >> so i've been told. what are you missing if you go face?e as opposed to face to >> well, you need to get face to face soon, because that's what it's about. i think of online dating rather

than replacing is helping or augmenting it. it's the very beginning. one of the recommendations is to definitely get out there and meet the people sooner rather than later. >> it's an interesting conversation. thank you very much for joining us. that does it for us. up next, your morning news and we'll see you tomorrow on "cbs this morning." -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
