turned into a bumpy overseas tour, while president obama looks to pick up campaign cash in the big apple. susan mcginnis is in washington with details this morning. susan, good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, good morning, terrell. yeah, we'll see if romney can get through poland and a foreign policy speech there today without controversy. this is after he inadvertently insulted the british in london and then made a comment in israel that is upsetting palestinians. mitt romney got an enthusiastic welcome in poland. >> we want you to be president of the united states. >> reporter: the presidential hopeful wraps up his overseas trip today with a foreign policy speech in warsaw. monday, romney picked up an endorsement from lech walesa, the legendary leader of poland's solidarity movement, who invited romney to poland. >> so, governor romney, this is lech. >> reporter: but romney is also being criticized for comments he made at a fund-raiser in israel monday morning. speaking to donors, romney said israel is far better off economically than neighboring palestine because of cultural

reasons. a palestinian spokesman called the comment racist. the white house called romney's statement a head-scratcher. >> one of the challenges of being an actor on the international stage, particularly when you're traveling to such a sensitive part of the world, is that your comments are very closely scrutinized. >> reporter: here in the u.s., president obama spent the evening in new york raising money. he told 60 high-dollar donors that as the summer ends, he'll begin to lay out his plans for a second term in the white house. at the nomad hotel in manhattan, the president said he would use the last 99 days until election day to let voters know not just what they're voting against, but also what they're voting for. >> it's a scary time to be a woman. >> reporter: the president also defended the use of negative ads, saying presidential elections are historically messy. now, in poland, the leadership of solidarity has distanced itself from romney's visit and came out with a statement critical of him, calling him

antiunion. terrell? >> susan mcginnis in washington starting us off this morning. susan, thank you so much. on capitol hill, house and senate negotiators have reached a deal on new economic sanctions against iran. they're aimed at iran's energy and shipping business, particularly involving oil sales. the u.s. hopes the sanctions will encourage iran to step back from its suspected nuclear weapons program. a house vote is expected tomorrow. the senate later this week. a new report by congressional republicans says the botched gun-tracking operation known as "fast and furious" could have been stopped several times by federal agents and prosecutors. the report, capping a 1 1/2-year-long investigation, places much of the blame on five officials at the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms. under "fast and furious," atf agents allowed thousands of guns purchased in the u.s. to be smuggled into mexico, where they ended up in the hands of drug cartels and were discovered at crime scenes. at least one of the weapons was discovered at the scene of a 2010 shoot-out that killed u.s. border patrol agent brian terry. the investigation, led by

republican congressman darrell issa and gop senator charles grassley, found the operation was plagued by reckless behavior, missed red flags and failure of leadership at the atf's highest level. much of the blame is put on bill newell, the lead field agent in the atf's phoenix office. the report says newell "had a history of using reckless gun-walking tactics during his investigations." newell's direct supervisor, william mcmahon, was also named. according to the report, he had vast knowledge of "fast and furious" but "did not view his role as supervisor to ask questions about events in the field." the report also finds fault with former atf director kenneth melson. the investigators say melson was concerned about the size of "fast and furious," but "never ordered it shut down." melson resigned from the atf once the so-called gun-walking scandal came to light. two other officials at atf headquarters were named. william hoover and mark chait had several opportunities to end "fast and furious" but failed to do so.

the scandal has taken on a political tone as well. in june, congressional republicans voted to hold attorney general eric holder in contempt of congress, but democrats, infuriated by the vote, walked out of the capitol. the vote came after the obama administration invoked executive privilege and refusing to hand over documents related to "fast and furious." the documents are being sought by congressman issa. his name is at the top of the new report. a lawyer for one of the atf agents named by investigators is quoted by the "wall street journal" as calling the report a witch hunt. james holmes, the suspect in the colorado theater massacre has been formally charge. in all, he faces 142 felony counts, including two first-degree murder charges, for each of the 12 people he's accused of killing. prosecutors are still deciding whether to pursue the death penalty. john blackstone has our report. >> reporter: this was holmes in court last week, the last time we saw him on camera. this time, the judge barred cameras from the courtroom.

some of those still healing from wounds suffered in the theater shooting came to the court to see him formally charged. ali garby, whose 16-year-old son suffered a head wound, came in search of an answer. >> i want to ask him why he did this. i mean, you know, they were -- you know, why he did it. >> reporter: but holmes said just one word. the judge asked if he agreed to waive his right to a preliminary hearing in 35 days. holmes replied, "yes." >> he had kind of an evil or a diabolical presence to him. >> reporter: maryellen hansen came on behalf of her niece, ashley moser, who was shot in the neck. moser's 6-year-old daughter, veronica, was the youngest person killed. moser was pregnant and had a miscarriage this weekend. >> she's going to be paralyzed from the waist down, and we're hopeful that she'll get full use of her arms again. >> reporter: she not only lost her daughter, she lost an unborn child as well. >> correct. and her entire life is going to change completely from that night. >> reporter: the list of charges against holmes is 72 pages long

and could bring life in prison or the death penalty for killing 12 people and wounding 58. you want to be in court the next time he shows up. >> absolutely. >> reporter: you want to be there after this trial. >> yes, i really do. you know, we have an emotional investment for what he's done to our family. >> reporter: holmes' attorneys argued that the notebook he sent to his psychiatrist just before the shooting is confidential doctor-patient communication that should not be made public. john blackstone, cbs news, centennial, colorado. a new survey suggests the colorado shooting has done little to change public views on gun control. in april of this year, 49% of americans asked by the pew research center said it was more important to protect the right to own a gun, while 45% said it was more important to control gun ownership. following the july 20th shooting, 6% said protecting gun rights was more important, while 47% favor gun control. to syria now. the government has stepped up its assault on rebel positions in aleppo, the country's largest

city. if aleppo falls to opposition forces, it would be a major blow to the regime of bashar al assad, but syrian government troops are using heavy weapons against them. casualties are mounting and the refugee crisis is worsening. over 200,000 residents have fled the city. an outbreak of the deadly ebola virus is spreading in the east african nation of uganda. at least six more cases are reported. the outbreak of the virulent disease was first confirmed on saturday in western uganda. at least 14 people have died. uganda's president advised citizens to avoid unnecessary contact with other people. ebola is spread through direct contact with the blood or fluids of those infected. we'll take a quick break. coming up on a tuesday morning, how quoting bob dylan cost one man his job. and a truck tumbles on a road in china, and a very close call for a woman and her family. that's next. this is the "morning news." this is the "morning news." it's creamy, nonfat, and itturne into john stamos for five seconds.

so, this is interesting, probably pretty hard to believe, too, but there is no museum dedicated exclusively to the most revolutionary event in our nation's history, the revolution itself. that is all about to change, though. here's anthony mason. >> well, if you come down here -- >> reporter: in a secret location in the suburbs of philadelphia, scott stevenson has been cataloging artifacts from the revolutionary war. this is a british musket? a musket used in the battle of lexington and concord, the first action in the war of independence. >> it would have had a strap. >> reporter: a soldier's canteen, one of only three known to have survived. it says "u. states."
