today. >> we begin reporting. we have been reporting for days on the telephone and internet tracking of millions americans. now we're hearing from the man who says he leaked that information. >> he says he did it because the surveillance is, in his words, the greatest danger to our freedoms and way of life. >> the man who claims to have blown the lid off the secret surveillance program of u.s. citizens says that he did it in the name of democracy and transparency. >> you know you live a privileged life. you're living in hawaii in paradise and making a ton of money. what would it take to make you leave everything behind? >> edward snowden has just taken responsibility for one of the biggest government leaks in u.s. history, saying he did it to inform the public. after his claims about the spying program, snowden outing

himself to britain's guardian newspaper. in an interview snowden talked about the surveillance. >> i sitting my desk certainly have the authority to wiretap anyone from you or your accountant to a federal judge to even the president. even if you're not doing anything wrong, you're being watched and recorded. you simply have to eventually fall under suspicion from somebody even by a wrong call and then they can use the system to go back in time and scrutinize every decision you've ever made. >> snowden says he was a systems engineer and administrator for the cia. and most recently worked as a contractor at the u.s. national security agency. now as a whistle blower he says his life is changed forever. >> you can't come forward against the world's most powerful intelligence agencies and be completely free from risk because they're such powerful adversaries that no one can

meaningfully oppose them. >> snowed says he did not even tell his live-in girlfriend what he was planning to do when he boarded a flight from hawaii to hong kong late last month. according to the guardian he's barely left his hotel room there and he is deeply worried about being spied on. he puts a large red hood over his head and laptop when entering his passwords. snowden has now joined the likes of two men he says he admires. wikileaks whistle blower daniel manning and daniel elsburg, the man who revealed the pentagon papers. a spokesman for the director of national intelligence issued a statement on sunday saying in part the intelligence community is currently revealing the damage that has been done by these recent disclosures and any person who has a security clearance knows he or she has an

obligation to protect classified information. >> senior correspondent john miller is a former deputy director of national intelligence. john, good morning. so snowden is 29 years old. he doesn't have a high schoolkoolchool diploma. should he have access to all this information? >> the intelligence community is largely run by contractors. when i was working as the director of national intelligence i had a staff of six or seven employees and 38 contractors. so he's got a high school equivalency. he studyied computers. his access is not derived from his experience as an intelligence officer. his access is derived that he's a computer guy. he's got system administrator position. according to him, he's supposed to be involved in computer

security. so that allows you to roam through the system. his authorities are nothing like he said they were though. >> right. hong kong, he says he's going to seek asylum somewhere else but why hong kong? >> i don't know. what you have here is somebody who's under pressure. you've got a little melodrama. he's got some inflated claims. you've got a little bit this is all about me. >> don't you think it's strange he would choose to go to hong kong and china -- >> i think it was an easy hop off from hawaii but, you know, you pick hong kong which is under the larger umbrella of a u.s. enemy, hostile power of china but also a place where we have an extradition treaty so i don't know what he's thinking. >> what will the government do? >> this will they will talk about going forward with the criminal investigation. let's say -- he's made himself the prime suspect. he could get indicted and he could be subject to extradition. >> let's go to major garrett.

he has reaction from the white house. major, good morning. >> good morning. the white house knows this is an intelligence crisis that could become a political crisis. now, revelations about secret phone snooping. president authorized the declassification some information about both of the programs and he asked the director of national intelligence to explain with some detail. many of these explanation have been defensive asserting what the snooping and surveillance is not. that's designed to hold the political line in congress. through this the white house has had to admit a startling truth, it conducts more surveillance than the bush white house. the obama administration insists it has built many more safeguards. but it would have preferred not to admit the surveillance.

>> with us now, house republican leader eric cantor of virginia. what do you think the u.s. should do now that they found out mr. snowden has done what he's done? >> we've got a lot of questions. i know we're sort of asking what in the world has gone on. the administration, the president, his team i know his team is coming to capitol hill to begin briefings. they'll be much broader briefings on the hill about what exactly the program is about. >> what stunned you about this? >> i think that right now we know that there are active threats against the united states. we have terrorist threats. there are possible security incidents that continue. and that is just the world we live in. we also know we have to balance the fact that we need to safeguard civil liberties. so i do think now the

administration which is responsible for implementing this program is going to come forward. brief us on the hill. then the process to understand if there are laws that have been broken. if anyone were to violate the law by releasing classified information, outside the legal avenues, certainly individuals should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. >> this surveillance program is known as prism. did you know about it before these disclosures? >> there are a variety of class fewed programs that exist for us to, again, guard against a terrorist threat -- >> do you believe that prism and these surveillance programs are constitutional? >> i think the court has upheld the constitutionality. the question here is what exactly has this individual done. where are these programs in terms of their status now, if

information has been leaked. and again the imperative here is to maintain our national security and also safeguarding our civil liberties. isn't it a question how this person could have had access to this kind of information and done what he has done? >> some of the questions, we've got to get underneath of. we need the answers. you have a contractor that has been hired, who is hired, a 29-year-old, who is now holed up in some hotel room in hong kong claiming to be the defender of democracy somehow in the people's republic of china. >> and identified himself with bradley manning. >> we don't know the answers. it's going to be very important. the administration is responsible for implementing this program. the congress is responsible for the oversight of this program. the investigations will be very serious. obviously we'll be dealing with the balance between national security and safeguarding our civil liberties.

>> you don't have any concern that the surveillance the government is doing has gone too far? >> there's no question it's extraordinary programs with extraordinary breadth. congress after 9/11 went about enacting some of these programs. what it did is empower our law enforcement officials and did so in a constitutional manner. we don't know what happened in this instance and we've got to find out. >> did the obama administration go further than the bush administration had gone in its surveillance? >> again these are questions. we don't know the answers to. that's why this week -- >> how do you not know the answer? you're one of the top ranking republics on capitol hill. you have access and oversight and you don't know the answers. >> i haven't talked to this individual. i have not been briefed on what this individual claims to have -- >> you know what i'm saying that's what should give people concern, is that congress is supposed to provide oversight.

you know that. everybody who goes to school knows that. if there's so many questions, shouldn't that raise concerns about civil liberties? >> i think there are two things going on. one is the program itself and two, what exactly are this individual, mr. snowden, has done with this information. you have to sort of step back and ask yourself. there are legal avenues for an individual who is concerned about the violation of civil liberties go about addressing concerns. coming forward, asking for whistle blower protection, going to the courts coming to congress. i don't know if that was done or not done. it seems to me that he chose a route to go to a reporter, holed up in some room in hong kong and that ought to tell you something as well. i don't know whether these other avenues were jurd takeundertaken or not.

i think in the broader sense with everything else going on in washington there's a real challenge for this administration and all of us to say, look we've got to work to restore the trust in government here. and all the while, people across the country were watching this show this morning, saying hey, what about my job, what about the fact that i need to go about going to work supporting my family and we're trying to actually focus on that with all that's going on. >> thank you very much. south africa's government says former president nelson mandela is in serious but stable condition this morning. the 94-year-old is batting a recurring lung condition. deborah is outside the clinic in pretoria south africa where mandela is being treated. >> reporter: only limited family visits are being allowed here in pretoria where nelson mandela is

entering his third day of hospitalization in intensive care. this is to allow the base conditions for recovery. as south africa prays for nelson mandela, his spokesman says his condition remains unchanged, serious but stable but he cautions people should not read too much into that. >> the doctors have to very bansed. in this situation, they cannot raise our hopes, nor can they make us lose hopes without justification. so let us pray for him, let us help give him strength and let us help show concern and care for his family because they are going through a stressful time. >> reporter: he says it is natural for people to be anxious about mandela because he is much loved and admired and they want him to live forever. the government has not given details as to exactly how mandela is is being treated for

his recurring lung infection. saying doctors would reveal more information at the appropriate time. mandela's wife was with him when he was rushed to hospital in the middle of the night. she has not left his side since. nelson mandela's daughter had flown in from argentina where she is currently the ambassador to be with her father. i think this gives an endindication of just how seriously they are taking this illness. president zuma also plans to visit mandela in hospital although his spokesman says he will do it in is up a way as to allow the medical team to continue their work unhindered. charlie, nora. wall street is up this morning after thumb's up for america's credit rating. two years ago, s&p lowered the u.s. credit rating. jury selection begins this morning in a florida murder trial that's getting worldwide

attention. george zimmerman is charged with killing an unarmed teenager. mark strassmann is outside the courthouse in sanford, florida. >> reporter: seven miles from where i'm standing a crime watch volunteer last year fatally shot an unarmed teenager who was walking through the neighborhood. and now the jury who is about to be picked will have to decide if the killing was self-defense or murder. >> he was laying right here? >> reporter: 16 months later, tracy martin has what he wanted. george zimmerman on trial for the killing. you know trayvon's not coming back. so what is it you're looking for with this trial? >> had trayvon pulled the trigger and killed george zimmerman, i'm sure he would have been convicted. we're looking for justice for our son's killer. >> reporter: no witness saw how the fatal fight began or the

shot that ended it. whether or not zimmerman testified, jurors will consider his videotaped re-enactment for police, his sometimes conflicting statements and photos his of bloodied head. prosecutors say he rationcially profiled martin. >> are you following him? we don't need you to do that. >> reporter: the judge will not release the names the six jurors jurorss eventually chosen. >> we're allowed to question the jurors. we're allowed to go into pretrial publicity matters. >> reporter: zimmerman's lawyers also hope to paint martin as a troubled teen including photos that show his alleged interest in drugs and guns. >> are you ready for that? >> i have no choice but to be ready for it. i feel as though me and my family has already taken the worstest blow we can take. my son's killed. my son was taken away from us. >> reporter: lawyers today will

go about the business of picking six jurors and four alter nates from a pool of 500 people. picking that jury could take as long as three weeks. >> it is time now to show you some of this morning's headlines.

or called off. in beirut that a state department security official engaged in sexual assault on foreign national's hired beamcy guards. allegations that former secretary of state hillary clinton's protective security detail engaged prostitution while on official trips in foreign countries and that the problem was endemic. in baghdad that an underground drug ring operated near the u.s. embassy supplied u.s. state department contractors with drugs. aurelia fedisisn investigating. >> we investigated case of wrongdoing which never became cases. >> in each case they told the inspector general investigators that higher-ups told them to back off.

>> we were very upset. we expect to see influence, but the degree to which that influence existed and how high up it went was very disturbing. >> perhaps the most striking instance where agents told the i.g. they were told to stop investigating was the case of a u.s. ambassador in a sensitive diplomatic post suspected of patronizing prostitutes in a public part. the memorandum refers to the 2011 investigation into the ambassador who routinely ditched his protective security detail investigators suspected to solicit favors from prsostitutes. sources tell cbs news they were told through sources under patrick kennedy. >> you have a lot of what we refer to as hostile intelligence

services in that city. i would be very surprised if some of those entities were not aware of the activities. so yes, it presents a serious risk to the united states government. >> reporter: draft of the inspector general's report on the performance of the diplomatic security service obtained by cbs news stated hindering such cases calls into question tin ted grit of the investigative process, can result in counterintelligence vulnerabilities, and can allow criminal behavior to continue. john miller from cbs news. we tracked down mike politz. now retires he was a senior agent at the diplomatic security service. he was involved in one of the cases where the order came to stop investigating. >> who told you to stop? >> well, i got the information through my dss channel, but it came from somebody higher than ds i'm sure. >> according to denison when a

high-ranking official was shown a draft of their findings, that investigations were being interfered with by the state brass, he said this is going to kill us. but in the final report all references to specific cases had been removed. >> my heart really went out to the agents in that office because they really want to do the right thing, they want to investigate the cases fully correctly, accurately and they can't. >> for denison who was a dss agent for 26 years was part of the i.g.'s team who prepared the act's report and is now a whistleblower. she's had concerned. two years after cbs news made questions investigators from the state department's inspector general showed up at her door. >> ma'am, i can't discuss wit you. >> the agents were from the office of the inspector general.

in a statement to cbs news the state department said quote, they will not comment about specific allegations of misconduct internal investigations, or personnel matters, unquote. they added not all are substantiated. it goes that the department does not condone interconvenience with the investigations by any of its employees. >> so what happened to the ambassador? >> well, the ambassador is still the ambassador. in that case he was read the riot act by one of the top state department officials and told them knock it off. >> at the heart of this too is a number of these investigations were covered up, is that right? >> that's the theme that runs through the ig's memorandum that did not make it into their file report. >> and what about the agents who protected secretary of state hillary clinton? >> so in that case four of them got a one-day suspension and

were removed from the security detail, and others were admonished and allowed to stay. but i think when you measure that against what we saw in the secret service case it was a lot less. the other thing we learned into digging into this is allegedly when secretary of state clinton asked after the secret service scandal do we have any problems like that, she was told no. >> do they per sue any investigations? >> well, what's going to happen now is -- and that's very important, charlie. we spoke with senior state department officials and said look, we understand people have different views about this, so we've asked the inspector general and they've agreed to hire professional criminal investigators into they're inspection division to review all of this cases you mentioned and more to determine if they're being handled properly. >> jong miller thank you. a fifth person has died following the shooting spree in

santa monica california. the gunman has been identified as john zawahiri. they still don't know why he did it. >> i saw his eyes. i saw him point, and i -- then i knew. then i knew that he was really going to shoot. >> reporter: debra fine is only one of three people to survive after being shot in a killing spree in santa monica last friday. the gunman 23-year-old john zawahiri opened fire dressed in black fatigues armed with multi. weapons and 13,300 rounds of ammunition. according to police, he had issues. the death toll rose to five on sunday when 25-year-old marcella franco died. she was a passenger in an suv driven by her father carlos franco. their vehicle was sprayed with

bullets. >> this world is going to miss marcella franco and car loews franco. >> reporter: debra fine was shot when she stopped her car. >> then i felt a bullet cut through my ear. >> reporter: she spotted a car jacker shooting another woman. you saw his attention turn to you. >> yes, i did. i could see it in his eyes. >> reporter: what did you see? >> nothing. complete lack of emotion. such intensity and yet she's just in the way, she's just in the way, i just need to get rid of her. >> reporter: fine was shot four times. >> all i kept thinking was stay down, stay down. i prayed to god that he would not come back to the passenger car, that he would not come back. >> reporter: it all happen at this is an tahman ka home. it burst into flames after zawia

the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

today is the 50th anniversary of the equal pay act. the law was intended to ensure that women earn as much as men for the same work. but after half a century, women still makeless. they average 70 cents for every dollar of income by a man. >> new york senator kirsten gillebrand is sponsoring legislation. she's here with us this morning. good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> morning. >> so senator, it is interesting to mark that it's been 50 years since the equal pay act. why does this need to be updated? >> well, many of us in the senate believe this is an economic issue. it's about not only women but the middle class. if you're not paying a woman a dollar on the dollar for of the

exact same work, you're not really tapping the full potential of our economy. why wouldn't you tap the full potential of 52% of your resources, of the women in this country? if you paid women a dollar on a dollar, you could raise the u.s. gdp by up to 9%. that's an economic engine. >> so why isn't it happening? >> for a lot of reasons. what our bill does is make it easier for employees to actually discuss how much they're earning. in some places, you can get fired if you discuss how you're being paid differently. so creating more transparency creating more accountability in the system, making it possible for women to understand they're being paid less than they should be for the exact same work. >> last week it was defeated in the senate again. why is it so tough to get it through? >> well, mostly politics. i think we have a number of people who will support the equal pay bill that we've been working on for a long time. we just need to bring people together. one of the reasons i've been fighting so much more for women in congress, is this is something they believe strongly

in. >> and you deaddicated a whole section of the magazine to this issue, kind of a history, a timeline of women fighting for the right to vote but also the equal pay act. what were you surprised to learn? >> i was most surprised to learn that women make less than women because they go into fields that pay less like health care and education. we found that actually whether or not you're in banking or in health care, women are making less than men. women make 80% of what men make in both nursing and banking. >> you also suggest women don't negotiate as much as they should. >> that's right. i think women sometimes are afraid to negotiate because they think of it as a confrontation. it doesn't have to be a confrontation. it can be a conversation. we gave women the advice they need to have this conversation. they need to research their pay so they need to know if everyone in their field is making $80,000, they shouldn't be asking for $120,000. they need to go in with three things. they need to do their research. they need to practice practice practice. have these conversations with

people who they trust so they've already asked their worst question. they need to have the confidence to have a low number and a high number. if the low number comes up they can walk away from the conversation. >> but the statistic you gave was really interesting. 7% of women don't negotiate. only 7% of women negotiate. 55% of men negotiate. what do you mean by that? >> we mean that -- these are graduate students we spoke to. when you're offered a job and they say your salary is going to be $35,000, 7% of women said that's not enough, i'd like to make more. 57% of men said i'd like to make more. >> because men say now the negotiation really begins. >> exactly. >> but you say, senator, that it's not a women's issue. that's what we need to rephrase. >> if we look at the broadest context of the economy, we're impeding women's ability to be successful on so many levels whether it's equal pay or paid family medical leave.

oftentimes it's the women who bear the responsibility for primary care giving of an infant or care giving for an elder parent. so we need to make it easier for them to be able to go in and out of the work force quickly to be able to meet those family needs. affordable day care just making sure a woman who's just had a child knows there's a good quality day care and early childhood education, universal pre-k would allow more of our work force to be fully engaged in the economy. something as simple as raising the minimum wage. you would be furious to know 64% of minimum wage earners are women. often women with children. studies just came out that 40% of households where the women are the primary breadwinner for families with winds. of that 40%, close to 70%, are single moms. so we are really undermining the ability of our economy to truly take off by holding our women back through a lot of these structural impediments like

having a minimum wage that's $3,000 below the poverty line. >> yet, there were some republican women who voted against this bill, correct? >> correct. and our goal is to begin to have a new conversation about how do you strengthen the middle class, how do you create opportunity for every family in america, how do you truly get our economy moving and creating this economic agenda that's about women's economic security, really about the middle class, about the middle class economic security. you have to again, get 100% of your work force engaged and being able to do the job that they're qualified to do. >> if you educate women and give them the money they deserve and they're earning, you build a community. i think it's really important. >> and i think what i loved about your piece is it gave women a lot of tools. a lot of times i think, you know, women just need that encouragement to say i'm worth it, i'm worth receiving the extra amount of money. when they have tools like how much are my peers making, they can go in there with a bit more confidence. i think that's why your piece

was so effective. any woman who read it would say, i'm going to fight for what i'm worth. it's that extra push that extra encouragement that will empower them to fight for themselves more. >> a lot of great information. good to see you. thank you. >> thank you. a swedish princess says "i do" in a whirlwind romance with an american businessman. we'll be right back. you're watching "cbs this morning." ortion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by prue ten chal. solving financial challenges for 1 135 years. prudential. bring your challenges. you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed much is the official retirement age. ♪ ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. ♪ ♪
