7:03 am
great to have you here. as we come on the air in the west, president obama is on his way to south africa and the question remains, will he visit nelson mandela? >> aboard air force one this morning, the president told reporters, quote, we'll see what happens when we land. i don't want a photo op. and the last thing i want to do the president said is to be in any way intrusive at a time when the family is concerned with mandela's condition. mark phillips is at the hospital in pretoria. >> reporter: good morning. it's day 21. three weeks since nelson mandela was admitted to the hospital for that recurring lung infection that's gotten a lot worse. the condition is still described as critical but stable. we understand that effectively his general condition continues to decline. after three weeks in intensive care and with hope of recovery fading the hospital in pretoria where nelson mandela lays hovering between life and death
7:04 am
continues to be a place of pilgrimage. a class of young children were the first to offer tributes today. after the crisis of yesterday when the mandela family was summoned to the hospital on the grim news he had taken a turn for the worst, doctors managed to stabilize him. but as the crowds have continued to build, the story has taken an ugly turn. with official news of his condition sparse and sometimes misleading, news reports including ours have provides more detail than the government has put out. the conflict between the desire for privacy and the demand for honest information has caused friction. that bubbled over in an interview given to south african tv by mandela's daughter. >> it's like truly vultures waiting, devour waiting there for the last carcass. that's the image that we have.
7:05 am
we don't mind the interest. but i just think it's gone overboard. >> reporter: into this long sad drama, president obama is due to arrive. he has met with nelson mandela before when he was in the united states. considers him an inspirational figure and has wanted to meet him and family members here. the white house says the president will follow the family's lead on what's possible. nelson mandela's fate is in the hands of those who have to decide how much medical intervention to continue to provide. and anthony and norah, it seems that nobody yet is prepared to make that decision. >> mark phillips thanks. today could be one of the hottest days ever recorded on earth. the temperature may hit 130 degrees in death valley california. the all-time high 134. >> meanwhile, there's more heavy rain expected in the east today.
7:06 am
an unknown number of people are missing after flooding in fort plain, new york, west of albany. jeff berardelli is tracking it. >> the exstream heat is about as extreme as it gets. as far as flooding in the east, we are expecting a few inches of rainfall. so first thing's first, let's talk about a pattern. a very amplified jet stream. the kind of jet stream you would expect to see in january and february. not necessarily the kind of jet stream you would see so late in the season. that means a big heat ringdge across the west. with temperatures in phoenix around 113. las vegas around 115. death valley 130. as we just mentioned, the all-time record high on earth is 134. the last time it got to 130 in death valley 100 years ago. in the east it will be cool across the great lakes. lots of heavy rain up and down
7:07 am
the i-95 corridor. some places will see probably as much as 5 inches of rainfall and flash flooding is possible in some spots this weekend. >> 130 degrees. that is just a breathtaking number literally. cheers in the senate gallery and cries of yes we can after the sweeping immigration bill was passed thursday. the overall is far from certain. nancy cordes is on capitol hill this morning. >> reporter: now all eyes are on the house to see what they will do. just like the senate they've had a big bipartisan work of lawmakers working on reform but unlike the senate they've not been able to reach a deal and that's forced republican house leaders to chart their own path forward. >> the bill as amended is passed. >> the bill the senate passed thursday leaves no part of immigration law untouched. spending bills to seal the border and putting illegal immigrants who are here already
7:08 am
on a decade-long path to citizenship if they pass a background check and pay fines. >> this bill is not perfect but it's a really good solution in my view to a very difficult problem. >> but republican leaders in the house say their aploch willproach will look much different. tackling reform individually. >> i will not support an individual path to citizenship. >> reporter: which has been working on bills to create an agriculture guest worker program it expand visas for highly skilled immigrants and track down ingrants who overstay visas. he says house republicans have not come to a consensus about what to do about the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants. the main goal he says is to avoid a repeat of 1986. when an immigration bill signed by president reagan legalized 3 million people but failed to live up to promises to secure the border. how long will this step by step process take? >> what we say is till we get it right. we've gotten immigration wrong
7:09 am
in the past and it's not worth going down that path again if we can't get it done right. >> reporter: house democrats haven't supported any of the republican plans yet but signalled a new willingness to work together on thursday. >> we know it has to be a compromise. we know who's in the majority. but if you want our vote it has to be something that our members can vote for. >> reporter: one option house republicans are discussing would be to give illegal ingrants some kind of legal status that falls short of citizenship, but only after they have proof that the border has been secured. one thing is for sure anthony and norah, if the house does pass immigration reform it is going to be very challenging to combine the house version with the senate version. that's a process that could take many months. >> nancy cordes thank you. a top retired u.s. general is under investigation this morning for allegedly leaking information about a cyber attack on iran's nuclear program. bob orr's in washington.
7:10 am
bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning norah and anthony. general james cartwright is a retired four-star marine who till 2011 was the nation's second highest ranking military officer. as the vice chairman of the vice chiefs of staff, cartwright had a seat at the table on top security issues. now an official tells us general cartwright is the target of a criminal leak investigation being run by the u.s. attorney out of baltimore. all of this involves a covert cyber attack on iran's nuclear facilities in 2010. the virus widely believed to be sponsored by the u.s. and israel was used to disrupt iranian centrifuges. "the new york times" unvaeleiled many details about that attack. obama ordered an investigation into who provided the information. we've been unable to reach general cartwright. we have to pint out, as far as we know nobody has been
7:11 am
indicted in the case. cartwright has been identified as a target of the probe. this is one of two high-profile leak cases now being pursued by federal prosecutors. the other one involved a disrupted terror plot coming out of yemen. since president obama took office, seven current or former government officials or contractors have been charged with leaking classified information. as you might know the most recent one, edward snowden, who is still on the run. norah, anthony. >> bob orr thank you. this was one of the most closely held secrets by the u.s. intelligence community. something the u.s. and the israelis have been working on together to disrupt the iranian nuclear program. they were not happy when this became public. it is day six for nsa leaker edward snowden at the moscow airport. president obama says he won't scramble jets to get the 29-year-old hacker but he says ocean nations should return snowden as a matter of law enforcement. last night on his program, charlie rose spoke with the
7:12 am
editors in chief of "the guardian," the newspaper who first reported this leak. they talked about the publishing and u.s. security. >> do you believe national security of the united states has been damaged? >> i do not. and we have consulted with the authorities about everything we have published -- with the nsa, with the white house. >> it's come up before other organizations in the united states. do you go to nsa authorities, whether it's general alexander or someone else and say this is what we're prepared to publish? what's the next part of the question? >> well, in this situation, you're not really asking a question, because you have the information. >> saying we're going to publish this, what's your response? >> you're saying this is what we have. do you have a specific national security concern? >> well, that's a question. >> yes that is a question. we're inviting you. we don't agree with their interpretation but what we're saying is we'd like to hear it.
7:13 am
>> and you heard it? >> we haven't had initial security concerns. >> i think it's -- if we didn't publish any of it. >> that would be fair to say. >> federal investigators say the company routinely misled the government about the thoroughness of its background checks. in boston the surviving marathon bombing suspect is now charged in the terrorist attacks. federal prosecutors announced a 30 count indictment thursday. tsarnaev is also charged in the killing of a police officer and the shootout that followed. his brother was killed in that shootout. new developments in the murder case against former new england patriots star aaron hernandez. police searched hernandez's home in massachusetts. then may have been looking for
7:14 am
evidence in connection with the drive drive-by shooting death of two other people last year in boston. don dahler reports on how the two cases could be linked. for the second consecutive day, aaron hernandez found himself before a judge. his lawyers argued the murder case against him was weak and he deserved bail. >> mr. hernandez cannot disappear into the woodwork. >> reporter: hernandez has been charged with the murder of a friend owen lloyd. investigators think lloyd was killed because he knew about hernandez's possible role in a shooting last year. they did reveal new evidence bullets recovered at hernandez's condo they say are similar to those that killed lloyd. the judge denied bail. saying the case against hernandez was very strong. >> this gentleman either by himself or with two other people in a cold-blooded fashion killed a person because that person
7:15 am
disrespected him. >> reporter: a connecticut official said carlos ortiz, one of the alleged accomplices, was in their custody and waved extradition. the second alleged accomplice is still on the run. with the potentially expanding murder investigation, questions are once again being raised about why the patriots took a chance on hernandez three years ago. >> teams who looked into aaron hernandez when he was coming out of the university of florida in 2010, they found personalitywise, he had low self-esteem, he had a short fuse. there were concerns with the people he hung around with. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," don dahler boston. the george zimmerman murder trial continues in florida. on thursday, a key prosecution witness, jeantel, was back on the stand. she was on the phone with martin just before he was killed. the defense tried to prove it was martin not zimmerman, who
7:16 am
made the confrontation about race. >> you're saying in the culture you live in in your community people there call white people crackers? >> yes, sir. >> and do they use the "n" word regularly? >> yes, sir. >> and you're saying so did trayvon martin. trayvon martin referred to white people as crackers, correct? >> i don't recall, sir. >> our legal analyst jack ford. good morning. the context of that was, why were they asking that question? >> the prosecution has urged that george zimmerman was the instigator, that he had started this confrontation. they say he can't rely on the idea of self-defense.
7:17 am
you can't start a fight and then say okay i'm losing i'm going to pull my gun. and then suggested it was a result of racial profiling. what the defense tried to do there is sort of flip it around to try to say that the first comment that could be interpreted as being a racial comment was when trayvon martin said to this young lady on the phone, this cracker is following me. so what you're seeing is that attempt by the defense to mix things up a little bit. to say look it wasn't zimmerman who was racially profiled. it was actually trayvon martin who started that. >> can i ask you about trayvon martin's girlfriend here how did she do on the stand? we know the jury's all women. >> yeah it's always interesting when you try to figure out how somebody performed on a witness stand. you never really know till the jurors tell you afterward. she was an important witness here because there are no eyewitnesses. she's in a sense an ear witness. the closest thing the prosecution has to somebody who was talking to him right before this episode literally and
7:18 am
figuratively explodes. >> she had some credibility questions. >> she gave -- for the prosecution, she gave the notion that it wasn't trayvon martin that started the confrontation, it was george zimmerman. as with almost all witnesses, the defense tried to take some shots. they said she had admitted to not telling the truth to some things in the past. some of what she said on the stand was different from what she said in the past. she said trayvon martin said get off of me. and yet the dchsefense showed she hadn't said that in a couple other statements before. she gave something to the prosecution. also gave a little something to the defense here. >> you think it proves just how tough the prosecution -- >> it's a tough case. prosecutors usually have things like dna, eyewitnesses. they don't have that in this case. and they've got a defense that's offering up a defense that jurors can accept here. doesn't mean they can't win it but it's an uphill battle. >> time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe.

7:34 am
to move the bill through. it starts monday. anthony and norah. >> senator davis will be among bob schieffer's guests sunday morning on "face the nation" right here on cbs. bad blood between james whitey bulger and a corrupt fbi agent bubbled up in court thursday. prosecutors complained that bulger cullalled their star witness a a, quote, blanking liar during testimony. the witness is john morris, a disgraced former fbi supervisor. he admits taking cash and wine from bulger while bulger worked as an informant on the italian mob. rikki klieman is a cbs news analyst. good morning. there's quite a history between these two guys. what exactly is the connection? >> well the history is really bad blood. there's no one that whitey bulger hates more. whitey bulger has been clear since the day he was captured in
7:35 am
letters as well as in statements that he things morris should be in prison. for any of us who have followed this case from the very beginning, and i'm going back into the '70s, the '80s and when whitey became a fugitive in the '90s, if there is anybody who ought to be in prison above them all, i say it's john morris. >> explain for everybody who's not following it as closely this fbi agent, morris what he was doing. he was getting cases of wine with cash at the bottom of it. >> this is the most corrupt of corrupt. >> and he was working for the fbi. >> he was the supervisor of the organized crime division. and let's get this even better. he not only is the supervisor of the organized crime division which of course makes him organized with the criminals to commit crime, then later on he gets promoted. he gets into government corruption investigations. who's the most corrupt of all. the irony of it all is of course what is he doing now. well, you can't make this stuff
7:36 am
up. he is now a consultant for a wine company. i swear. you can't make it up. so if you look at the whole background, here's the guy who takes wine as bribes takes a plane ticket for his girlfriend takes cash and he then says oh, i've been compromised. so the defense lawyer when he gets up, hank brennan, who is just terrific he's terrific understated, he gets him to say, well, you like to say compromise, how about corrupt? >> the prosecution, they've put murderers and bookies and corruption fbi agents on the stand here. i mean is this the best they can do for the case? >> well what's they got. you have to remember whitey bulger, if he committed for these murdered if he really was the person who ordered deaths he got to order them because, why, he got tipped off by two corrupt fbi agents as to who was going to inform against him. it's a disgrace to the bureau.
7:37 am
it's a disgrace to the government. the idea that john morris is an immunized witness makes my blood boil. >> all right rikki klieman, thank you. have a good weekend. >> thank you. paula deen's endorsement empire continues to crumble. on thursday the retail giant target said it will no longer carry her products. that move come as the diabetes drugmaker and the qvc network parted ways with the southern cooking star. the home depot dropped her on wednesday. so why is dean's popularity soaring among some fans? ben tracy shows us it is about a test of loyalty. >> i want to apologize -- >> reporter: it's been nine days since deen's admission of using racial slurs in the past has been made public. since then she has seen her multimillion-dollar empire unravel. but it hasn't tarnished her reputation among devoted fans who are rushing to her defense. >> we're all just doing the best we can. and we all do make mistakes.
