7:02 am
anti-government protestors in turkey to calm the situation of the insurgent violence. at least 30 people have come down with the acute hepatitis a after eating frozen berries. >> all that -- >> there was a lot of spitting going on. >> a llama? really? >> -- and all that matters -- >> angelina jolie made her first public appearance since annoying she had a double mastectomy. >> i have been very moved by the kinds of support from people. really very grateful. >> -- on "cbs this morning." >> terry francona is screaming out of the dugout, just hopping mad. >> i feel stronger now than i did when i was yelling at you from the dugout. i may have cursed. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. welcome to a new week. >> yes, a new week. good morning, charlie.
7:03 am
i've been thinking about the people of oklahoma and the terrible tornado again over the weekend. >> storms still in the news. and we begin with a fast-moving wildfire in southern california. high winds are spreading the flames in the mountains of the angeles national forest. >> thousands are out of their homes this morning. teresa garcia is near lake hughes north of los angeles. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah and charlie. they're calling this the powerhouse fires. it has forced more than 3,000 people to evacuate and more nearby residents are being told to just get ready to go. the fire has already burned more than 22,000 acres. it's only 20% contained, and there is no clear end in sight. the powerhouse fire continued to rage through the night, igniting parts of this tinder dry forest
7:04 am
that haven't burned in more than 80 years. firefighters have been able to save hundreds of structures, but half a dozen buildings have been destroyed, and 15 others damaged. >> what you're experiencing are a constant 20- 25-mile-an-hour winds with 40- to 45-mile-an-hour gusts. >> reporter: officials blamed the gusting winds for spreading the fire, even estimates at the fire's size have been difficult. >> it's been moving so fast, and the smoke is hugging the ground because of the intense wind and it's hard to get them out. >> you could hear the fire coming. it was like a freight train. you could hear it roar up the hill and over the side of the hill it seemed like it ignited instantly. >> it's scary. you don't know what's going to happen. the winds come back and get us again. >> reporter: a damage assessment
7:05 am
team is in place, planning to get a better idea today of how many structures have been destroyed by this fire. this homeowner says he is staying put, even if he gets an evacuation order. >> we spent ten years building something yourself, the last thing you want to see is it burn down. >> reporter: and many of those evacuees are being told they may have to wait up to 48 hours before returning home. now, the hope out here is that this powerhouse fire could lose some of its power in the next 48 hours, and that's because the gusty erratic winds are forecast to decrease. the humidity is expected to rise. all of this could help in the battle to get control. norah, charlie? >> teresa garcia, thank you. the east coast is in store for rain, but that could be nothing compared to last night. a fast-moving thunderstorm moved through. several homes were damaged, and in the south on sunday, a tornado touched down in south carolina near the border with georgia. >> it is all part of the same violent system that brought another wave of tornadoes slamming into oklahoma friday
7:06 am
night. this morning 13 are now confirmed dead. seven other people including five children are missing. >> it is feared all of them were swept away in raging floodwaters. 115 people were hurt. anna werner is in el reno, oklahoma. anna, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, we're here at a local vocational center and that behind me is a plane here at the aviation training program. it gives you a sense of the force of these tornados that destroyed businesses and homes in oklahoma once again. for the second time in two weeks oklahoma is reeling from a deadly outbreak of tornadoes. >> that's on the ground, dude. on the ground. >> reporter: forecasters believe at least five twisters touched down friday, whipping through the region at the height of rush hour. >> that is just solid headlights. >> reporter: ahead of the system drivers clogged a major highway trying to escape, only to find
7:07 am
themselves right in the middle of the storm's devastating path. among those killed, three veteran storm chasers, tim samaras, his son paul, and colleague carl young. in hard hit el reno, residents spent the weekend salvaging what they could. >> our neighbor across the highway, we found a checkbook in the field back there. >> reporter: but it wasn't just tornadoes. heavy rain gave way to widespread flooding, sending water gushing around homes, vehicles, and even cattle. along one road, a giant sinkhole opened up creating a makeshift waterfall. >> i've been in the area 12 years and this is the worst i've ever seen. >> reporter: oklahoma governor mary fallin toured the area and talked to this owner. his barn was ripped to shreds. >> we never expect anything like this. we have had tornadoes around here, that's not new, but nothing that came close to us before.
7:08 am
>> reporter: barnhardt was talking about recovering. >> you just can'tgive that up. we're going to rebuild, and we'll be back. >> reporter: forly this time the town of moore that appearanced the ef-5 back on may 20th, they avoided a direct hit. but they still had flooding. as we said rescue workers are still looking for a number of people still missing. >> anna, thanks. in our next half hour we'll take a look at the deaths of the storm chasers. some believe the job is becoming too risky. that's ahead of "cbs this morning." the irs is coming under fresh scrutiny this morning.
7:09 am
a new report is highlighting millions of dollars spent at agency conferences. the findings come as congressional republicans say interviews with irs employees say the order to target conservatives may have come straight from washington. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> good morning to you, norah, and to charlie. this report that's expected to come out tomorrow has more embarrassing news for irs officials. it details $50 million in taxpayer spending over the course of two years on irs conferences. the $50 million was used to pay for 225 conferences between 2010 and 2012, including one $4 million conference in anaheim, california, for irs managers, some of whom stayed in lavish rooms like this hilton's presidential suite that's listed at $1,500 a night. a pair of videos produced for that video cost an estimated $50,000.
7:10 am
this "star trek" spoof featured an irs commissioner as spock. he reportedly snagged one of those pricey presidential suites. >> i believe i have found a government leader who could be of assistance. >> reporter: house republican darrell issa found it yet another example of government excess. >> the culture of the federal work force is one where i don't think you can -- you can underestimate that if you don't keep reminding the voters but if federal workers who are watching, this could happen again. >> reporter: the irs is being investigated for singling out groups when they applied for tax-exempt status. they conducted interviews with two employees at the center of the scandal. one employee was asked, did your supervisor give you any indication of the need for the search? any more context? the employee replied he told me that washington, d.c., wanted some more cases.
7:11 am
they show the targeting wasn't the work of rogue agents but was ordered by managers in d.c. democrats say that's a stretch. former government adviser david plouffe. >> no one has indicate at all that the white house was involved. >> reporter: democrats say in all of the interviews conducted so far, no one has named a manager in washington, d.c., who ordered that tea party groups be targeted. norah and charlie, the head of the irs just appointed by the president will testify on capitol hill today. he's got a lot of-on-his plate very quickly. >> nancy, thanks. with us, governor john mccain. welcome back. >> good morning. >> as this irs scandal spread what's the risk to the president? >> the president's credibility
7:12 am
is at stake and we've got this trifecta freeze going on at the same time. far be it for me to give advice to the president of the united states but you might remember after the iran-contra conversation when reagan went on television and said, look i'm responsible and we've done wrong and i'm responsible, and i'm not saying the president should do that. but the president should be thinking how to get the issues behind him. we've got a lot of things facing the country he should lead on. if he's mired in these scandals, it's going to be difficult for him to do that. >> would you go as far as congressman issa who has accused the administration as liars? >> i never like to use that word. i think we should let the investigation take its course and let the facts come out. you've got to admit the last couple of hearings where the person was in the chain of
7:13 am
command took the fifth amendment, where the individual said he was at the white house for an easter egg roll and he was there 170-some times. they're not covering themselves with distinction here, but i think these hearings are what we should rely on to a significant degree. >> let me turn to syria. you were there. what's your assessment about what's happening on the ground, and is president assad and the syrian government gaining the upper hand? >> they're gaining the upper hand thanks to the thousands of hezbollah who are in there, the russians are supplying arms and announcing that they're going to supply more, the iranians are in, the revolutionary guard is there and air power. in this kind of climate air power is vital. right now, the key town in the whole strategic scenario of syria, they have our people surrounded, and they're pounding them -- >> so you want u.s. air power. >> no. what i would like to see is a
7:14 am
no-fly zone, cruise missiles and no boots on the ground. the israelis have just shown they're able to take out selective targets. we need to give them the weapons they need. they have lots of light weapons. they don't have anything to take care of tanks and aircraft. it's shameful what's going on and de-stabilizing all these other countries in the region. jordan cannot last under the present scenario as we've seen. fighting has started in lebanon and it could spread and cause a civil war. >> big senate hearing tomorrow on sexual assault in the military. do you agree with your colleague senator mccaskill who says the military is out of step with the criminal justice system. do you want to see changes as well? >> we need changes. it's reminiscent to me back in the '70s. we have race riots.
7:15 am
it's not only a legal concern but a cultural issue. you change the culture and fire people who are guilty, and i'm proud of the military now. it's a paragon of equal opportunity. but it's got to be fixed. it's disgraceful. >> so will you support gillibrand's legislation? >> look. there's a number of proposals. hopefully we'll decide on the best and i think we can go from there. but i am confident congress will act. >> thank you, senator mccain. for the fourth time they camped out. overnight fighting took place at the prime minister's office near istanbul. there's word police in ankara fired tear gas. holly williams is in the square at the heart of the protest. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah.
7:16 am
yesterday we saw a third night of violent clashes, not just here in istanbul but other cities. police used tear gas and water cannons on the protesters. a government office was set on fire, neighborhoods have been turned into battlefields and hundreds left injured. this had started out as a peaceful demonstration. it's become much bigger. tens of thousands of people are angry with the prime minister. he was democratically elected and he's still popular with many people but his critics accuse him of working like a dictator. they're concerned he may want to impose his more conservative views on turkey. last week they brought in new restrictions on the sale of alcohol in turkey. before he headed off, he
7:17 am
dismissed any comparisons between these demonstrations and the arab springs. he's also labeled the protesters as looters, labeled anyone who drinks as an alcoholic and has made no declaration for changing his policy. charlie and norah? >> thank you. frank will you tellenlautenberg died this morning from complications of viral pneumonia. he battled recent health problems. he announced in february he would not seek re-election. chris christie will appoint a successor to complete lautenberg's term. this is the start of the important month for the supreme court. over the next four weeks, justices are expected to hand down rulings in simple major cases. january draw nord iskrau jan draw nord is crawford is outside the court. >> reporter: good morning, norah, good morning, charlie. the justices always do this.
7:18 am
they wait until june to make their big decisions and that's because they're the most controversial cases. they take longer for the justices to work through. one case that we expect is affirmative action. that involves whether or not colleges and universities can use race as a factor when making their admissions decisions. this case comes from texas, a white student denied admission to the university of texas. she says that was because of their affirmative action programs. another big case we're watching same-sex marriage. can states ban it account federal government refuse to acknowledge. we may have them next week. it's time to show you some of the morning's headlines from around the globe. hopes for a grand bargain are fading. that's because the deposit's fiscal health is improving. one example, the price of health care is not rising as quickly. "the baltimore sun" looks at the court-martial of corporal manning.
7:19 am

7:34 am
he's facing dozens of charges including murders. they look at what may be the biggest case in years. and clearing his south boston neighborhoods of drug leaders but the leaders methods were hardly charitable. he's accused of extortion, money laundering racketeering, and corrupting law enforcement, but the focus of his trial will be on his role of 19 murders. the 2006 martin scorsese film "departed" was large by based on his larger-than-life persona. >> when i was your age we used to say we could be cops or criminals. today i'm saying this. when you're facing a loaded gun what's the difference? >> reporter: bulger became an fbi agent in 175.
7:35 am
but his agent alerted bulger that the authorities were preparing to arrest him. bulger fled. a fugitive for more than 16 years, bulger was caught in 2011 when the fbi released a public service announcement for the capture of his long-time girlfriend katherine greig. a former neighbor tipped off the fbi to bulger's santa monica apartment. bulger was arrested without incident and now two years later, the trial of one of america's most wanted fugitives begins. for "cbs this morning," elaine quijano, new york. >> our senior cbs correspondent and former fbi i director john miller is here. >> the jum has summondge has summoned 675 people for the pool of jury. we're going to wind up with 18.
7:36 am
1 who sit in the box, six alternates. this is the beginning of the big week. >> john, who do we expect to hear from the witness stand? >> you're going to hear the lemds of you know the boston mob. you're going to hear from john most rah noe who has been on "60 minutes" and several other people who worked in whitey's crew. this is a rico case racketeering influenced corrupt organization. that means it was a continuing criminal enterprise and they're going to prove this was the machine that whitey ran. the other thing you're going to hear is the fbi put on trial that. will be d defense tackic. they'll say, hey, he had the ability because he was providing information to the fbi and that's where the sparks will fly. >> bulger is face 3g 2 counts
7:37 am
19 of them from murder. is there any chance that he walks away from him as the drama is watching the trial. >> the drama is watching the trial. of course, anyone would say the chances of his walking away are slim indeed. even if he does walk away he has two other murders in two other states. but, what we do have here the genius of jay carney and carney himself. whitey says he has three goals here. he wants to tell his story and show he was not a government informant, and he wants to show that he did not murder two innocent women. those are very important to him and nay be his vindication. >> john, what makes him interesting? >> what makes him interesting is he is one of those rare characters, charlie, that is as much like the gangsters he knows from the movies but he operated that way in real life. >> and will he testify?
7:38 am
>> he will. for sure. >> this is his show. >> yeah. >> the conundrum --? and the cockiness he thinks he can sway the jury. >> it's cockiness but it's also machiavellian. by the nature of the story he was fooling the mob and the fbi. but he's a guy who thinks around three different corners. >> he used to read war books all the time. he would literally walk the beach, sit down in south boston and take his books out on moore, and what he is an extreme strategist. they're expecting hundreds of people to line up and get into this trial every day, and he did this stuff in books and movies. we know that there have been so many that have been and a movie to come. >> he's got a defense attorney jay carney. >> jay carney is a terrific defense attorney no relation to jay carney in washington and, by the way, an excellent
7:39 am
prosecutor. >> this is the conundrum and what i put to ricky. if your goal is to say you weren't in the fbi government and your sub plot is i did everything through the government how do you prove both? it's one or the other. >> it seems it should be one or the other, but, no it's not. because in whitey's mind he did not inform on his friends. he only told the government things about his enemy. so it's a twist in what's the deaf sigs. it's like what is. >> john miller and ricky kleman. grade to see both of you. thank you very much. and the newspaper is shining an unflaerlting light on prop fan da. that stoinlt stoirt is straight ahead. and tomorrow morning, never before seen photos of elvis presley. that's tomorrow on "cbs this morning."

8:03 am
others. officials are blaming those high winds over the weekend for turning the relatively small wildfire into a massive blaze covering thousands of acres. fire personnel that totaled over 2,000 from across the region swarmed to this powerhouse fire in an effort to contain the blaze. and hopefully in the next 48 hours, they're going to get a little bit of luck here because the forecast has gusty winds dying down the humidity increasing and all of this can certainly help in the battle to get it under control. investigators have yet to determine a cause. for "cbs this morning," teresa garcia garcia, lake hughes, california. meanwhile, seven people are missing and feared dead this morning after five tornadoes hit the oklahoma city area. 13 others are confirmed dead after friday's storms. some of the victims were trying to drive away from the twisters. a group of three tornado chasers were killed by the storm. officials believe tim samaras, his son paul and carl young

8:33 am
the significance of the overall economy? >> it means that there's going to be incredible opportunity in some parts of the country and real pain in other parts of the country. there's going to be a real economy in the world. one of the reasons why i wrote this book is this concept is smart money, getting information first and moving first has always been somewhat offensive first. this affects everybody on a very pevlg level and so i wanted to bring all of these issues down to laevl anyone could understand from an art teacher to a veterinarian to someone on wall street. it doesn't matter who. it affects everyone equally. >> if i'm sitting at home eating cheer rows watching you, i could be thinking why should i care what's going on with my estate taxes. >> it affects how many cops are on the beat in your neighborhood, how well funded your schools are going to be the student/teacher ratio in the classroom, the ability to update
8:34 am
textbook, the ability to have libraries open for a significant amount of time and, of course that's where a lot of job training and applications and recruits is handled in a lost communities. it's really the hub of communities. it impacts whether let's say you're retire at home eating cheerios and you've been hold -- or not yet to retire you've been told, you know you're going to get a pension. now all of a sudden the unrest in the community is questions that. you're going to have to take cuts to that. another example could be you know, somebody looking for your a job because the state has to cut back so much on basic central spending in terms of infrastructure it's harder to get to work. the job opportunity may not be there. >> here's what's fascinating to me. you talk about the economy growing at about 2%. then in several states it's growing at 8% much.
8:35 am
the emerging market you talk about that. name the states where the economy is booming and supporting the rest of the other states? >> texas, because of the population density is really the holy grail. it's an energy boom. low tax policies that are attracting a lot. tech companies that are building new facilities in texas at the ease of operation. louisiana hurt by 2005 hurricane katrina. from 2008 to 2011 gdp grew by 16%. it's all the way up. but people didn't pay attention to over the last 10 15 years. >> but there's a bill oil story there. that's the thing to understand. the energy story behind those states is real and that has accounted for a big part of their growth as well. >> how can they use this information? can they use it? >> well, i think there's some things they can keep in mind and
8:36 am
really as it relates to not being rash. one of the things where meredith got a lot of play is around her call on what was going on at the state level and some of her considers around municipalities and specifically municipalities going bankrupt. i think they want to rupp and sell their mooup bonds and i think that's not what you should be doing in this situation. not making any knee jerk rash moves. >> meredith, as you know after you made this sub prime prediction, a lot of people were cheering you and then when you predicted this and it didn't happen right away there was some controversial about your call. >> yeah, there's great deal of controversy over the fact that i think the people that didn't like whoo i was saying and did like the attention i was bringing to this issue truncated my message into it was going to happen within a very specific time period. here steve kroft never asked me for a time period when these types of developments would
8:37 am
happen. what the real issue boils down to is state advances. what is more important? is your pension more post your municipal bond payment more important. >> with respect to steve it's your responsibility to say i'm predicting this and it's the time frame for it. not for steve to -- >> you know steve was incredibly well researched in that interview. asked me 90 minutes of questions. i don't think it was on his terms and i certainly didn't go to "60 minutes" to make a prediction. i think the intent of that was to use me as a narrative of the story around state and local finances and how troublesome that it can come. >> you can't be very precise about these things. it's not like there's a day or a year or two years or three year use can be exact on what can play out in the state. >> mellody you can have the last word because we're live and in
