smokey robinson, esperanza spalding, and octavia spencer is here too. first as we do every morning, we will' take a look at today's eye opener. your world in 90 seconds. >> where's the humanity in the world? syrian government forces surround the center of the uprising as a deepening humanitarian crisis takes hold. >> families are set to be making preparations to die. >> i have a record of being a strong conservative on the issues that matter. i'm going to point that out with my friends at cpac. >> mitt romney tries to regain momentum as conservatives gather for a major conference. >> they made a speech in washington, d.c., today, enjoy. >> we must outsmart the liberals. we must outsmart the stupid people that are trying to ruin america. another embarrassment for the u.s. military.

troops are posing with a nazi flag. >> this is not going to be tolerated. >> major lake effect snow starting in illinois but working into indiana. >> the man hunt tonight for ma done no's stalker. he has escaped from a mental hospital and is a danger to everyone. >> four months after the death of steve jobs, the fbi released a secret file it had been keeping on the apple founder. >> all that. >> mik cally call kin has talked about his health. >> have we ever met? >> yes, we have. >> and all that matters. >> to craig. whoa! >> on "cbs this morning." >> i saw this picture online today. arnold sharts is he negligent ger asked sylvester stallone to be there in case maria showed up with a scalpel. welcome to "cbs this morning." we have breaking news for the west coast on the new rule requiring religious institutions

to cover birth control in their employee health insurance. >> president obama's decision has been denounced by catholics, republicans, and some democrats. chief white house core spob dent nora o'donnell is with us now with this update. nora, good morning? >> reporter: good morning. cb; news has learned that president obama will make an announcement later today about this contraception policy that requires religious institutions to cover birth control. now the white house insists that they are not backing off their principles to provide increased access to contraception services. what the president will do, we're told, is offer a further clarification for many of these religious institutions about how they should comply with the law. >> reporter: the president was meeting with the prime minister of italy in the oval office thursday, but when peppered with questions on the ret hot controversy over contraception, he refused to comment. >> come on guys. thank you. >> but his vice president joe biden in the swing state of ohio

for the first time signaled the white house is concerned about the fallout. >> as a practicing catholic i am of the view that this can be worked out and should be worked out. i think the president -- i know the president feels the same way. >> reporter: bide ken was responding to criticism from new york cardinal designate timothy dolan on "cbs this morning." >> this was a terribly misguided judgment. >> reporter: as the white house works out a compromise, they are taking relengthless fire from republicans like mitt romney on fox. >> i think the administration has way overstepped the bounds here, and i think they're going to have to retreat. >> reporter: and from republicans gathered in washington for the annual conservative political action conference. >> the obama administration's war on faith must be defeated. we must win this war. >> reporter: and now even some democrats are publicly criticizing the white house, including former democratic national committee chairman tim cain of virginia and three

democratic senators. the white house did get support from democratic women in congress who called the debate over contraception for women ridiculous. >> the polls have clearly stated that most americans, including catholics, including men and women, say that this ought to be an available service. >> reporter: so how would such an accommodation work? well, the president is likely to talk about what has been happening already in a majority of states. this is actually the state law in 28 states and at universities in those states they have already worked out a deal so there will probably be some middle ground found there. >> nora, so what should we watch for now, now that the white house has come forward to meet some of the political pressure it was feeling? >> reporter: well, i think the white house wants to make the point that they're not backing off this policy. they're going to continue a one-year grace period for many of these religious institutions to comply. they think politically speaking

this may benefit them in the long run, especially among suburban women. >> thanks. we now go to republican race and mitt romney where he is making what may be one of the most important speeches of the campaign. >> after losing three contests this week to rick santorum, romney is addressing cpac today. that is the annual gathering of influential conservatives. national correspondent chip reid is covering that for us this morning. chip joins us today from washington. chip, good morning. surely a lot of talk about not just what mitt romney is saying but the other candidates as well. >> reporter: good morning, erica and charlie. four years ago mitt romney dropped out of the republican presidential race at the cpac conference here in washington. back then it was a great disappointment to conservatives because he was considered the conservative alternative to john mccain. what a difference four years makes. now romney is struggling to convince the same group of conservatives that he is one of them. >> reporter: if you're looking for red meat conservative

politics, this is the place. >> we must outsmart the liberals. we must outsmart the stupid people that are trying to ruin america. >> reporter: and to get this crowd support, mitt romney has a lot of work to do. according to ralph reed, former executive director of the christian coalition. >> he's got to gain not just the acquiescence of but the enthusiasm of social and tea party conservatives in order to win in november should he be the nominee. >> reporter: but for many here, enthusiasm doesn't come easy. >> would you say you're for romney at this point? >> of the people who are around, yes. >> reporter: okay. that does not sound like a ringing endorsement. >> well, no. >> reporter: charlie earl of ohio supported romney four years ago but now he's not so sure. >> reporter: so you'd like to see romney -- >> be more forceful and more direct about where he actually stands because he does have some

questionable background as far as the flip-flopping type thing. >> reporter: romney needs to make a major course correction in today's speech according to conservative activist andrew breitbart. >> he has an opportunity to connect with a group of people that i think he has actively pursued a strategy not to connect with. >> reporter: romney also has to deal with the conservative challenge from rick santorum who's coming off victories in three states and who ripped into romney thursday in oklahoma city. >> he's not interested in talking about the issues. he's interested in trying to pander. >> reporter: santorum speaks at the conference today and so does newt gingrich. charlie and erica, you can bet they both will be doing everything they can to try to steal mitt romney's thunder. >> thanks. with us now is national journal white house correspondent. what can mitt romney say that will answer some of the questions these conservatives have? >> what he's going to say is let's agree on the things we already agree on and use that as a spring board for you to get

closer to my candidacy. he'll talk about spending, taxes, reducing the size and scope of government. the romney campaign believes those issues are the ones that lay best for him with these conservative activists. they'll be ones they'll be most respective to. that will be the sum total of his speech. let's concentrate on what we agree on. look at electability and possibility of results if you make me your president. >> is it the fact that overall they've questioned his credibility as a conservative rather than a specific disagreement on a particular issue? >> they question not only his credibility as a conservative but his conviction and his underlying passion to carry out those things and to stick with conservative ideas and principles when the going gets tough as these conservative activists know it inevitably will. the campaign will tell you in its candid moments, we're good at tactics but not nearly as good about messaging. i wrote a national journal in mid december that mitt romney central problem was that he was fundamentally misaligned with

his party, misaligned geographically, temperamentally, and misaligned ideologically. this set up very well for newt gingrich. i was wrong about gingrich but i think i'm still right about the misalignment problem. >> there was good news for rick santorum this week. >> certainly. >> where does it stand now between santorum and gingrich to be the conservative alternative? >> the gingrich arrow was down. i think it will be perpetually down. i could be wrong about newt gingrich again a second or third time. many have been. i think this is the ending of his campaign. he'll give a good speech but what they're looking for in washington is can they rally around santorum? is santorum the guy that can, if gingrich falls out, get to that 40% threshold and not just compete against romney but beat him more often than not. what santorum needs to do is create an atmosphere around him, a sense of energy and passion that gets money in his bank account. >> i feel like we talk about this a lot, charlie. why has it been so hard for

conservatives, it is february 7th, to find someone. if it's not in this crop of candidates to bring someone else in. the campaign did not creep up on them. >> no. there were several reports yesterday we have it at national journal.com of republicans at this political action conference saying i'm not satisfied with the field. the national polling data still reflects that. there's talk as late as i've ever seen it at a campaign about somebody else coming in at the last minute or brokered convention. it's extremely volatile and hard to predict. because of that the romney challenge and undermining of his credibility is real and the possible santorum rise is equally real. >> is this question of birth control and the catholics becoming a major issue for conservatives? >> it's becoming a major issue for conservatives, but i would think about that issue carefully. look at the way republicans are talking about it. they don't talk about contraception, they talk about what they believe is a much bigger issue, religious liberty. they don't want to really talk

about the underlying policy because they know mitt romney already runs behind president obama if he's the nominee by about 7 oral points with women voters. you cannot win the presidency unless you're at least within 8 points with women voters. this issue cuts very differently and not so positively for republicans when you talk about the underlying policy of contraception. that's why this is a huge focus on religious liberty. >> we will be talking about it a little bit more. major, nice to have you with us. >> thank you. the chairman of the house financial services committee is reportedly under investigation for possibly violating insider trading laws. republican spencer bachus was one of several members of congress who were the focus of a 60 minutes story in november. yesterday the house passed legislation to stop this. the crisis in syria this morning is spreading. bombs went off at two security compounds in aleppo. state tv says at least 24 people died and rebels in the city of homs say syria's president

bashar al-assad wants to wipe out all opposition. one local activist made this video blog which shows the impact of a week of constant army attacks. >> this is filled with another rocket landed on the civilian's houses. this is happening every day. where's the u.n.? where's the humanity? where's america? are we supposed to live like this our whole lives? >> about two years old. he got hurt at the bombing when it hit his house. is this when the u.n. is waiting for? is this what the u.n. is waiting children? >> our foreign correspondent clarissa ward is reporting inside syria. she has a story of rebels in one town who are fighting to overthrow the 40 year dictatorship. >> reporter: they march together carrying their dead on their shoulders.

steady stream of menu nighted in grief and violence. god is great, they cry. give us revenge on bashar. they honored not only the fallen but also the bravest among them who fought in the gun battle yesterday. when rebel fighters tried to overrun a syrian army checkpoint, four men were killed, several others were injured. the funeral procession poured into the main square. >> reporter: you can see behind me the entire community has gathered here to lay to rest the men who were killed in yesterday's fighting. they're chanting over and over again, heaven open your doors to accept them. >> reporter: another smaller body was carried in. locals say this 10-year-old boy was killed in the cross fire. heaven loves the martyrs, the crowd shouted. the procession moved towards the burial ground defiantly marching past a syrian army camp.

armed rebel fighters walked alongside to offer protection and snipers kept guard in high places all around. but as the last mourners were leaving syrian army tanks moved in. shots rang out. the streets emptied and they scrambled to get to safer ground. life here is a cycle of funerals and gun battles. normal routines have been on hold for months. schools are closed. garbage collection is done by overstretched volunteers, and the power supply is spotty. >> translator: the cell phone does not work. internet does not work. >> reporter: the internet has been switched off for three days, he said. people here worry that cutting them off from the world is the first step in an all out government assault on the city. >> reporter: when we were on the streets we saw tanks rolling around. we've also heard reports from the rebel fighters who were with that more tanks are amassing at

a military training camp in the center of the city but it's still not clear what president assad's army has in store for this city. for "cbs this morning" clarissa ward, syria. here in the u.s. we have new details from the massive mortgage settlement between 49 states and five major banks. on thursday president obama praised the $26 billion deal to help struggling homeowners. >> we have reached a landmark settlement with the nation's largest banks that will speed relief to the hardest hit homeowners and some of the most abusive practices of the mortgage industry and begin to turn the page on an era of recklessness that has left so much damage in its wake. business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> how will this money be spent? >> so a billion dollars of that $26 billion figure is going to go to the federal housing authority. the rest of the $25 billion will go to homeowners. $17 billion will go towards

principle reduction on mortgages. $3 billion of that will go towards refinancing. $1.5 billion will go towards payouts for foreclosures. this is the up to $2,000 that the 750,000 homeowners may see as a result of being foreclosed on. this is also on a first come, first serve basis. lastly, $3.5 billion will go towards state and federal governments to deal with foreclosures. >> how long before the homeowners see the relief? >> it could be as many as three years away. we are looking at a time line that could be up to three years, but banks are receiving some credit if they can get it done faster. if they can do it in a year, they will gait some points for that. but by two years out 3/4 of all of the money must be given out by the banks. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. the "los angeles times" reported that on thursday the epa ordered cruise ships not to release any

sewage from three miles of the california coast. every year those ships dump 22 million gallons of sewage

"occupy" protestors pitching tents on the sproul plaza at uc-berkeley. protestors say no one is in the tents. more symbolic so they are not breaking any rules. we'll have an update on your traffic and weather coming right up.

good morning. out to south san francisco. they issued a traffic alert for a problem on southbound 280. so it looks like it's right there approaching westboro boulevard and our sensors are picking up some really slow speeds. it was an overturn injury accident so there is one car overturned in lanes. now, apparently two or more lanes are blocked and they are giving us an estimated time of at least a half hour from now when they are going to be able to reopen some of those lanes. so obviously, southbound 280 is going to be a backed up ride for a while. use 101 as the alternate. more traffic coming up in a half hour. over to lawrence to check your forecast. >> getting interesting outside. we have a lot of sunshine into the south bay and really just beginning to see the clouds making their way into san francisco. but we have seen some raindrops showing up already in the north bay right now and a weak cold front sliding into town but out the door, bring that umbrella with you. you just might need it. cooler temperatures as well today. plan on highs only in the 50s an 60s. as we look toward the weekend, should dry things out nicely. partly cloudy skies, cool on saturday and sun.

i saw this pick pure online today. this is arnold sharts negligent ger's personal photo of him and sylvester stallone together. the truth is arnold asked him to be there in case maria showed up with a scalpel. there is a story that stallone and arnold will make a movie together. we welcome you back to "cbs this morning." we're learning reveals from the secret fbi file on steve jobs. >> including what his friends and co-workers thought of apple's ceo. some of it not exactly so nice. bob orr is outside fbi headquarters. >> good morning, erica and charlie. the files being released under the freedom of information act. it gives us some insight on

psteve jobs. across the board people thought he was a genius. many found he could be stubborn and demanding. >> reporter: one worker at apple computer called jobs a deceptive individual who is not completely forthright and honest. another colleague defended jobs saying he was a man of high moral character and integrity. but multiple friends and associates warned he could be abrasive and had a tendency to distort reality in order to achieve his goals. the comments come from a 191 page file the fbi compiled in 1991. agents were conducting a background check after president george h.w. bush appointed jobs to the president's export council. the two dozen plus people interviewed universally said jobs, while not perfect, was a worthy presidential advisor. one co-worker cynically noted honesty and integrity are not required qualities to hold such a position. the fbi revealed there were troubles in his personal life. one colleague said jobs initially miss treated a daughter he had out of wedlock

by failing to support her. added recently mr. jobs has been more supportive. he was a c plus high school students with a 2.65 grade point average. he admitted to the fbi that he was a casual drug user in the early '70s and experimented with marijuana, had a shish and lsd. he assured agents he never sold any drugs and was never convicted of a crime. >> reporter: the file does show that he was the target of extorsion. these handwritten notes were made in 1995 after someone phoned in a bomb threat targeting jobs and apple. the caller who demanded a million dollars was never paid and never found. > reporter: we also found out that jobs spent some time working with the government, we think on satellite-related programs. in fact, in 1988 for two years he had a top secret clearance. that clearance was taken away in 1990 when his work was done. we've been asked if jobs knew he had a file. that's not at all clear but he mus have had a hint because he

co-op perfect rated with that interview in 1991. adam lashinsky is a senior editor at large for "fortune" magazine. his book, inside apple, how america's most admired and secretive company really works, it's hitting "the new york times" and "wall street journal" best seller lists this weekend. does this fit the profile of steve jobs that you know? any surprises? >> it fits him absolutely. the surprise is how absolutely consistent this man was. when his background check happened in 1991 he was in between his stints at apple. he was an important person but not really as important as he had been or as important as he would become. my favorite part of this, charlie, is that he actually kept the fbi waiting for three weeks. he told them he was too busy to do an interview. remember, this was not when he was at apple. >> and he didn't have a choice not to do the interview if he wanted the job? >> no, but he was in no hurry to

accommodate the fbi. it's hard to fathom a normal person telling the fbi, yeah, sure, i'll sit for the interview but i'm kind of busy right now. >> adam, you mentioned there weren't really any surprises here. one of the things that sticks out is the people who said he could distort reality a lot. is that something that you had found? >> well, sure. jobs' reality distortion field was famous in his ability to bend people in his way of thinking, to convince the people working for him that they could do something that they didn't think was possible. but he also pushed the limits in his business dealings, and he was famous for this over the many years that he would tell people what he wanted them to know and it's behavior that he would do at apple and that is common at apple as well. apple creates its own reality. that's part of their genius as a marketing company but also part of the rough side of how they do business. >> one thing that's a criticism about his behavior with his daughter, but that's also a place where he came back

together with her before he died. >> that's right. his first child was an i will legitimate child. he didn't want to have anything to do with her at first. he came around as he got older. in fact, in his later years he was quite close with her and very supportive of her. this was an example of him as a young, immature man not wanting to be involved. >> what's interesting is that it's probably the same things that made him difficult are what made him a genius. >> there's no question. he was a visionary. he was a narcissist. he wanted to do things his way, and he really wasn't interested in other people's way. and that's sort of textbook definition of a creative genius who's going to do something that the rest of us just can't see. and this is a company that does things that the rest of us can't see because his dna is in that company. >> adam lashinsky, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you very much. it may be the only honors

he found huguely with love on the floor in a choke hold and saw george's hands around yeardley's neck. huguely let go and love fled the room crying hysterically. in court, friends and teammates of both huguely and love painted a picture of a relationship spiraling out of control, in part due to huguely's growing drinking problem, a factor prosecutors believe to have been at play on the night yeardley was killed. as graphic photos were displayed for the jury, her mother and sister wept. the first medic on scene told the court thursday he told love unresponsive with heavy bruising, scrapes, and dried blood caked to her face and neck. for 25 minutes, he performed cpr with no success. fo >> cbs news legal analyst jack ford joins us now. good morning.

>> hey, charlie. >> put this kind of testimony in context for us. >> generally speaking, when someone is being tried, you can't bring in evidence of bad things they've done in the past. the idea is we're going to try somebody based upon the facts of the circumstances. there are exceptions. one is if you can show a pattern of conduct that helps to explain this. that's why the prosecution here is setting the stage, showing this pattern. evidence by the friends saying that george huguely was strangling yeardley love in an episode before. the e-mail mentioned. i should have killed you. these are all things the prosecution the wants because they've got to convince this jury that a guy who doesn't look like a killer in an environment that doesn't usually lend itself to murders, is, in fact, a murderer. >> so what's the defense strategy? >> they're saying to the jury here, look, this is an accident. it's a horrible, terrible tragedy. they did something very interesting. in the opening statement, the defense attorney -- usually opening statement, defense attorneys are saying, you know, be patient, wait and listen, make sure the prosecution proves everything.

they pretty much conceded he's not walking out of the door without a not guilty verdict. they said start looking at voluntary manslaughter. that's what they're suggesting this really is. voluntary manslaughter is an & accidental death in the midst of something that's reckless or dangerous conduct. it's an interesting approach they're taking saying, we're not asking you to say not guilty, but come off of this murder, according to the defense, and focus more on the idea of involuntary manslaughter. >> is that something that, perhaps, a few cases where that has been tried that has worked? >> well, who knows if it's going to work or not, but i think it's

>> i knew that i loved music from the time i could hear. i think the first voice i ever remember hearing distinctly that i remember hearing, and i had to be 2 or 3 years old, but i remembered, was sarah vaughn. sarah vaughn and ella fitzgerald were like instruments. i have loved music from the womb, i guess. >> i like what you said about how they were like instruments. they were true musicians. some of the critique we hear about music today is they're performers, entertainers, but they're not true musicians. how do you feel about that? >> well, you know, i have a pro and a con on that. i hear people all the time knocking young people and new music, and they're talking about, well, it's not like it used to be. so on and so forth. i heard that when we started motown. i heard the same thing. music is not like it used to be.

there's always some people of a former generation who are going to say that. there are some wonderful young people making music now. there's some wonderful music being made. >> what do you think, clyde? >> that's true, but there's something to be said right now on radio. that its concentration on electronica and dance music is creating a void. where's the next bob dylan coming from? where's the next ballad singer coming from? i love music. i love the music of today. i echo what smokey is saying. however, if it's music that is not giving birth to great artists, you've got to be someone concerned on that level. >> now with technology and everything is done so digitally, it may be bad for business. for the consumer buying it, they say it's great. is it possible to make it a win-win? >> i think in some ways -- i'm

from this generation of music. i'm a bit of a throwback though. we record all of our music to tapes. at the same time, you have to be aware that, you know, your stuff, your record's not being printed up on a thing this big with artwork. it's going to look this big on the itunes store. i think that -- i don't know. i mean, it's hard. you can't really sit around griping and complaining about the way things are now. you just have to continue making good stuff and hope that your stuff stands apart in a crowd. i still go to record shops. i still put on records. i still read line and notes. >> do you mean on line, or you know where there are record shops? >> there's a few record shops, especially in england. there's more. >> do you have concerns about the music industry as we know it today? >> i have concerns about the music industry because there was a time with napster where the

public felt they should get music free. that was dangerous and wrong. now we're catching up whereby the public realizes that creativity has to be respected. music is as vital today in people's lives as it ever has been. >> esperanza, i would say you're probably the newest grammy winner at the table. let's go back to the night you won. many people in the audience when, what? >> yeah, who's that? well, first of all, it's sad to think of what we do as competitive. i mean, if anything, i think what we've been talking about it there's room for all kinds of music. if it's great, there's room for it. you were saying earlier how you love every kind of music. anything that reaches you is meaningful. theoretically, we can see it as room for all these different musicians to be acknowledged. that's what i saw the nomination as. like you said, acknowledgment from my peers that what i'm doing is of value. >> you're so beautifully spoken. we've never met. when you were announced, i immediately went out to get your

album. i was not aware of it before. your artistry isartists like yo love. >> clive, after all this time, it's like you light up like a little kid when you talk about music. >> it's genuine. i was not the musician that the three sitting at this table are. i found music as a passion unsuspectingly. having found it, it has moved me, and that's why i'm still doing it. >> are we excited about the grammys sunday night? is there anybody you're pulling for in particular, mark? >> i think it feels like adele's night. i'm very happy to see her win as many. i think she's up for 73 awards. all of them. >> 73? >> esperanza? >> i would like to see joe lavano receive an award. it's been 20 years since carol was nominated. i hope she gets her moment. >> all right. smokey robinson?

>> i always feel that it's such an honor to be nominated by your peers for this. i think that everybody's nominated is a winner. >> smokey. >> i'm serious about that, gayle. everybody who is nominated deserves it. there are some people who weren't nominate who had deserve it. >> yeah. >> all right, clyde davis. >> i agree overall with smokey, but this is the year of adele. what she stands for, going against the trend, coming up with one hit after another with a voice that just has soul and beauty. it's great for music. it's great for other artists. i think, really, this is the year of adele. >> i can't wait. don't forget to tune in for music's biggest night. you can watch the 54th annual grammy awards sunday night at 8:00/7:00 central. i'll be backstage. i'll have it all for you monday. >> thank you, gayle. as we look at the past week, we
