good morning. i'm vinita nair. >> and i'm anthony mason. here are a few of the stories we'll be looking at on "cbs this morning saturday." edward snowden who leaked secrets about our government's surveillance programs is officially a fugitive, charged as a spy. a rough week on wall street as traders react to a statement by fed chairman ben bernanke, but does the drop in value actually have a silver lining? the queen of deep-fried food is deep-sixed by her employer. paula deen is let go by the food network even though she begs forgiveness for the racial slurs. and the michael angel lower of legos.

we'll take you to his amazing show "art of the brick." that and much more on this saturday, jeuune 22nd, 2013. captioning funded by cbs and good morning. welcome to the weekend. first weekend of the summer. >> i know. finally. >> finally here. i want to get to our top story. edward snowden. it's unclear where he is this morning. perhaps hong kong. we know where the justice didn't wants to put him. behind bars. >> he now faces charges of espionage and threat of government property. here with the latest on that is senior cbs correspondent former director to the national intelligence. john, good morning. >> good morning. >> he's still in hong kong. what will happen next? >> it's a complicated process

but fairly well honed. we have an extra treaty that was enforced since 1996. it's been used a lot. that's the good news. this won't be a rusty process. the complicating factor is it's a complicated process. they go get an arrest warrant and hong kong gets that and theoretically arrests him and holds him on that. then either one of two things happen. i wave extradition, i want to come home and tell my story and it takes a few weeks. on the other hand if he intends to i'm going to fight it and hires a local lawyer who comes over from the united states, it could take months and months. sometimes it's taken years. >> espionage is a very serious charge. are you surprised at the severity of the charges? >> the espionage statue has

everybody from robert hanson to russian spies, you know, people who infiltrate the country and are passing, you know, briefcases in hidden locations. but this is one of the subsections of the espionage charge that basically says if you take classified material and you either bring it, give it, or even expose it to foreign powers in a way that could injure intelligence collection, you're guilty of a crime that could get you up to ten years. so it's not one of those life sentence charges, but it's a significant charge that the prosecutors feel fit the case, but also -- and this is important -- fits within the context of the charges that are included our extradition treaty with hong kong. >> it would seem then this is a precedent-setting case. does the government have some sense of we have to send the right message? >> you know, vinita, you would think that that message was transmitted clearly when you had bradley manning, who was an army private first class who

downloaded the entire classified database onto a thumb drive and put it on wikileaks and was put on trial for a case where he could receive life and that trial was actually starting to unfold in the newspapers every day at the very time snowden did this. so i think they may need to send that signal more. >> all right. john miller. thanks, john. southwest airlines is slowly getting back to normal after a systemwide computer problem forced it to cancel dozens of flights. the entire fleet of more than 250 flights was temporarily grounded last night. service was restored with only 57 flights being completely canceled. the computer problem prevented check-in procedures, boarding and check-in wait of aircraft. a powerful storm in the upper midwest has left at least one person dead. video captured the dangerous lightning last night.

the power knocking out more than 150,000 customers in the twin cities. across the entire region, powerful winds and heavy rain uprooted trees and destroyed homes. tornados were reported in south dakota. craig setzer of our affiliate station wfor has more. good morning, craig. >> good morning, vinita. there were more than a dozen toern tornadoes reported in the upper midwest. from eastern wyoming to nebraska on up to the upper midwest. once again, minneapolis under the gun late today and tonight as well as more tornados and possibly large hail and damaging winds. the rest of the country fortunately not looking quite as severe. typical summertime weather in the midwest and northeast. hot weather expected in the southwest. and for the first full weekend of summer, it is looking summer-like indeed. anthony and vinita.

>> summer-like finally. craig setzer, wfor, thank you. hot fire is spreading more. it's causing people to have to flee south fork. they're threatened by the fast moving blaze that stretches across 47 square miles and moving about a mile an hour. the fire is also being made worse by miles of dead crees killed by a beetle infestation. severe flooding in western canada in and around the city of calgary has killed at least three people. torrential rain has swollen rivers which has spilled over their banks washing out roads and bridges and forces tens of thousands of people to abandon their homes. much of downtown calgary has been flooded and evacuated. now to the stock market's bad week. just a hint from federal chairman ben bernanke that the fed might taper off its purchases of government bonds touched off two days of panicky selling. while the market seemed to

stabilize yesterday, it still left quite a few people uneasy. michelle miller has more. good morning, michelle. >> good morning, vinita. it should have been welcome news. what bernanke hinted at sent the markets into a tailspin. wall street's volatile week ended on an upswing. even with the dow's 560-point week earlier this week, the year hasn't been dead. >> you're up 12% so far in the s&p. that's a great year, no less than half a year. >> general conditions are improving. >> with those few words ben bernanke mentioned he would scale back the stimulus program which has helped fuel the stock market church. >> if the economy is able to stay in a reasonable cruising speed we'll ease the pressure on the accelerator by gradually

reducing the list of purchases. >> it's a luxury problem to have when they say they don't need stimulus anymore. >> a slowdown in china's economy also has investors worried that chinese consumers won't be able to buy as many american goods, but analyst ben willis sees an opportunity in the falling stock prices. >> you should be buying your equities in the same way you're going to the supermarket and buying things on sale. >> the scaled back stimulus is pushed mortgage rates up, but that's not necessarily bad news for the housing market. >> a lot of people have been on the side looichbs waiting for whatever reason but they've decided rather than wait for the rates to gown further, they're going to get back in the marketing. >> it will be scaled back gradually only if the economy continues to gain speed and the job market improves. let's talk more about the markets with lauren lyster of

yahoo!. good morning. >> good morning. >> do you think they maybe overreacted a bit to this? >> i mean that is a good question. one of the many people i was talking to are saying like people at yahoo! finances, this is the pullback that people have been waiting for. it's very unusual to have that kind of a rise without some kind of a pullback and that this was it and that they never feel good and they're always scary and painful, but it's a pullback that you would anticipate. and then we did see some recovery. as you heard, the trader in the taped package, they're saying stocks are on sale, buy the dip, which is fancy speak for stocks are on sale, buy some. i heard that sentiment numerous times this week and possibly they'll recover. and also there may be volatility. they'll be reblangs so next week could be another volatile week. >> let's talk about another piece of this puzzle, the housing market.

so many have watched that. how will the fed's plan affect that? >> one thing we have seen in anticipation of the fed's change in policy and their conference this week is we've seen the borrowing costs rise. thissing is very tied to the 30-year fix mortgage and those rates have risen. granted, they're at historic lows. my parents would have loved to have lock thad in. back in the '80s they were like 17%. that's just over 4% but that's a half a percent rise from over six months ago. one of my friends wrote a piece, how ben bernanke cost me 50 grand. the question is how that's going impact the housing market because that's been the real bright spot. >> at what point do you thing that may start to happen? well, not until interface gets to 5% or 5.5% that it starts to slow the stock market down.

>> i heard mixed things. i interviewed the chief economist at fannie mae that they still see a bust and he doesn't see them going back down but i also talked to credit experts who say, yeah, this is going time path housing, anything will, because this is fragile and a substantial rise in rates but then ben bernanke was defending housing saying it could stand on its own because of home price gains because that's enough to gooey the market. >> stories like this, the takeaway is always hard but should we understand the fed easing off is actually a good sign for the economy? >> well, if you think of the dmi as a very sick patient that got sick during the frch chal crisis and the feds came in and offered drugs and life support, ben bernanke coming out and saying we have a plan to wind down life support is a sign that, okay, maybe the economy is ready to stand on its own without it. i think the tumult we saw on the market may not be the case.

he said it's heavily dependent on the economic data. it's by no means over yet. >> lauren lis ter, thank you very much. >> thank you. it would double the number of federal agents on the u.s./mexico border and open a u.s. path to citizen for millions of immigrants. chief correspondent nancy cordes has the lated. >> reporter: the plan worked out but republicans includes even more things. 20,000 new border agents, $3.2 billion in surveillance equipment in clugd infrared cameras and drones. >> i can tell you this. it's money well spent because it makes the border more secure, which helps us with our sovereignty. >> reporter: some democrats called it overkill. >> because it is going to mill tarrize hundreds of communities in the southwest. >> reporter: but they said it was a price worth paying to win

support from about 10 to 15 republicans for the larger immigration reform bill working its way through the senate. >> e we've always known there would be large numbers of democrats to support final passage of the bill in the senate brks through amendment gives us a real chance of getting a very significant number of our republican colleagues. >> reporter: the bill gives 11 million illegal immigrants the chance to eventually seek citizenship if they pay fines and pass background checks. senate leaders are hoping to hold a vote on the bill before the end of the week before lawmakers leave for july 4th recess. but even if the bill passes easily, the biggest bill lies across the capitol in the house of representatives. leaders there expect a scaled back approach to immigration reform that does not involve the pathway to citizen ship that is so central to democrats. for "cbs this morning saturday," nancy cordes in washington. >>une 22nd, 2013.more, politico

congressional reporter jake sherman. good morning to you, jake. >> good morning. >> so give us the very latest. where does the senate right now stand on this bill? >> it's definitely steaming toward passage. on monday there's going to be a report which expected to get 10 or 15 republicans and it's expected to create a glide path in the senate. again, that does not help things in the house of representatives. things are very tough there. there's a lot of republicans who have been whole heartedly against immigration reform, would like to toughen security on the border, but they have no interest in a pathway to citizenship. so it's still a rocky path. thing people on both sides of the aisle think that the deadline is really at the end of december. we really won't see this pass if at all until the end of the year. >> this a significantly beefed up bill, isn't it, jake? we saw 20,000 agents, 7,000 miles of fence. but you think the house is still

not going to buy it? >> i think not. they just want to beef up security on the border. it's definitely a carrot for some moderate house republicans who want to see a big comprehensive reform bill. obviously a lot more money for boarder security is a lot for them but a comprehensive package is not enough. >> will they get the support they need, the 70 votes we've heard so much about? >> the idea of 70 points is kind of a chest-thumping idea that they will get 70 votes and it will ease passage in the house. if republicans in the house aren't going to support it in the end, why is it important to get 70 votes? this will help if they can get 17 votes because of this beefd up security provision. >> jake, how important is this immigration bill to republicans do you think given that there

are particularly some moderates in the party who are concerned how badly they lost his han panices in the last election? >> there are two minds here. one that we're not handing immigration reform and we need to bring more people into the party but the conservative people in the parties like steve kij in iowa and the fire brands of the party say, listen, this is bad policy, we shouldn't pass bad policy for political reasons so that's kind of the push and pull we're seeing and it's going to drive the narrative for the rest of the year. ite going to be a lot of talk until new year's eve. >> we won't hold you to the number but what do you think are the numbers? >> i like accountability but i thurng it's a little bit better than 50/50 at this point. i know it's probably the opposite of what most people think but it's a very difficult ground for this reform bill. >> jake sherman, washington. thank you. >> thank you. >> the immigration debate will be front and scepter tomorrow

morning on "face the nation." bob schieffer's guests will include three senators who play key roles. democrat dianne feinstein of california and republicans bob corker of tennessee and jeff sessions of alabama. secretary of state john carey is in doha. it is kerry's first trim. while in doha, kerry will attend a major conference on the serious issue of the syrian war. >> reporter: john kerry's mission here in dona is to coordinate the military aid into the hands of moderate syrian rebels and away from those tied to extremist groups like al qaeda. he hopes to receive concrete aid from countries. that group is known as the supreme military council. over the past two years the u.s. has pledged nearly a million dollar in humanitarian support

and given back to the opposition. here he's pushing other countries to provide more humanitarian aid to the united nations to help the nearly 2 million syrian refugees who have fled the conflict. that spillover is threatening u.s. allies p one reason the u.s. deployed combat-ready soldiers to jordan. so far there's no sign he's going step down. for cbs morning saturday, margaret brennan, doha. former south african president nelson mandela is in serious but stable indication. debora patta is live with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we know that nelson mandela had to be resuscitated following cardiac arrest two weeks ago at

his johannesburg home. he was transported by ambulance and it broke down and he had to wait on the side of the road for over 40 minutes for a second blachbs to arrive. this is a journey that should take no longer than 30 minutes on a 33-mile stretch of road. the government won't say why it took so long but mandela was eventually transferred into it in freezing winter temperatures. it was confirm thad the breakdown was due to engine failure. it says that a full complement of medical specialists including intensive specialists were on board and all precautions were taken that his heft was not come p promiezed. the person we spoke to says it's serious cause for concern. the delay could have had an impact on mandela's condition. our reporting on the ambulance

breakdown has prompted the south african government to release a statement on nelson mandela's health, the first for some time. it repeats he's in serious but stable condition, urge the nation to respect his privacy. he has not opened his eyes in a few days now. anthony and vinita? >> debora patta in south africa. thank you. the food network announced it will not renew the contract of paula deen, this coming after she issued racial slurs. as ben tracy reports it was too litt little, too lats i want to apologize everybody for the wrong that i've done. i want to learn and grow from this. >> reporter: and she'll have time do it. the food network dropped the queen of southern cooking after she admitted to using racial slurs. the news capped a strange day for dean who normally plays to

the cameras with a bubbly personality but she skipped out on a news interview and then released two online videos asking america for a second chance i've made plenty of mistakes along the way, but i beg you, my children, my team, my fans, my partners, i beg for your forgiveness. please forgive me for the mistakes that i've made. >> reporter: a former employee sued dean and her brother ernest bubba hires for racial discrimination and sexual har s harassme harassment. during a deposition she fessed up to using the language and admitt admitted she was thinking of hiring black waiters for a plantation theme. have you ever used racial slurs. yes. in what context. well it was probably when a black man burst into a bank.

things have changed since the '60s in the south. deen said she use ed it in her house, not in the restaurant. >> we're not the kind of people that the press is saying we are. your color of your skin, your religion, your sexual preference does not matter to me. >> reporter: deen has three programs on the food network which said lit not renew her contract at the end of this month. for "cbs this morning" saturday ben tracy, los angeles. it is about 22 minutes after the houring and now here's a look at the weather for your weekend.
