>> carter evan thank you. we should know carter spoke with the widow of one of those firefighters. we're going to have that interview for you ahead right here on "cbs this morning." >> that leaker edward snowden remains a man without a country. he's applied for asylum in nearly 200 nations. he is stopped at moscow airport. elizabeth palmer watching developments in london. elizabeth, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. well as you'll recall last week, there were signs snowden would be offered asylum in ecuador. as that prospect faded over the weekend, he began casting around for alternatives. >> i think that the public is owed an explanation -- >> the last time edward snowden and in public over three weeks ago, he was in hong kong. from there just ahead of a u.s. arrest warrant, he flew to russia. and now after more than a week in the moscow airport transit zone, he's applied for asylum in 20 countries. from switzerland to bolivia and

india to spain. so far there are no takers. on the wikileaks website, a statement signed by snowden says "the obama administration is using citizenship as a weapon. it has revoked my passport it says leaving me stateless." edward snowden has become the world's hottest diplomatic potato. russia's foreign minister and secretary of state john kerry preparing to meet had to field a question from cbs news's margaret brennan. >> will give edward snowden asylum. >> we will -- >> behind the scenes the u.s. and russia have been talking nonstop. president vladimir putin is between a rock and a hard place. he won't expel snowden into u.s. custody but does want to limit the damage to u.s. russia relations. if snowden wishes to stay in

russia, putin says he has to stop his work aimed at harming our american partners. as a result snowden crossed russia off his list of asylum destinations. in the kremlin, you could almost hear the sigh of relief. in the past few hours, half a dozen countries have either refused snowden's asylum request or as ecuador did say, he has to get to the country first before we can accept a request. those countries this morning include poland india, and spain. charlie and norah. >> that you so much. with us senior correspondent, former fbi assistant director. good morning. >> good morning. >> so where are we? >> it's hard to say. you've got director robert mueller of the fbi talking to his counterpart of the fsb, russian fbi. they have point on this. we heard the russian foreign minister say the secretary of state, we're not dealing with this. what he said to kerry in the private meeting, i spoke to margaret brennan this morning,

who said it's not in my portfolio. this seems to be a law enforcement to law enforcement thing. here is the trick, though. while they are burning up the wires between the two countries, it's reminiscent of what we saw from hong kong. the u.s. is getting plenty of responsive conversation but nobody in russia is saying here is the plan. you've got a warrant, we'll hand him over or we're going to send him here. it's just floating. >> now edward snowden has applied for asylum in 20 countries. elizabeth, palmer some of them said no. sounds like edward snowden is getting desperate. >> russia looks like he with drew his asylum request to russia after putin's comments. this is a classic of somebody who planned what he was going to do and didn't plan stage three, what i'm going to do after that. he said, and this is an interesting quote from him, in the end the obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me bradley manning, referring to the private who leaked the documents to wikileaks or thomas drake.

another nsaer. we are stateless, imprisoned and powerless. this is a very different tone from what snowden was saying a week ago. >> how does the united states think this will play out? >> they don't know. it has a couple of options. russia may decide you can't get out of here you can't stay here. there's an active warrant, we'll hand you over to the united states. from an american standpoint that's ideal. they can decide you're going to country x, they have decided to accept you. good riddance you're on your way, then it becomes between u.s. and country x. may not be ecuador. there is that odd possibility there could be some kind of deal. we give you snowden, you get x. you get get a person. i know the person the russians would really like to have is the infamous arms dealer doing 25 years in marion here but that's a tough deal.

what we do is spy to spy trades not accused criminal to accused criminal. >> all right. john miller thank you. president obama is headed back to the u.s. this morning following his three-country visit to africa. his last stop was tanzania. there he made history appearing with former president george w. bush. it is the first time two american presidents have met on foreign soil to commemorate a terrorist attack. major garrett is in dar es salaam. good morning. >> reporter: charlie and norah, two attacks announced osama bin laden's war on the west. president bush and president obama have fought the war on terror in sometimes different and similar ways. this morning joined by a shared passion for africa's future they came here to remember. united in remembrance, president obama and president bush walked through the lush grounds of the u.s. embassy here and paused before a stone marker commemorating the attack. the two presidents stood

silently praying for the fallen turning the greeted families of those killed and embassy personnel who survived the blast. al qaeda's first mass casualty attack on u.s. interests occurred august 7th, 1998. twin suicide truck bombs outside the embassy here and in nairobi, kenya, killed 223 and wounded more than 4,000. while fighting terror his way, mr. bush pro moemted tens of billions to fight aids in africa through the president's emergency plan for aids relief or pet far. mr. obama, whose father was born in kenya, has praised the effort throughout africa. even so mr. obama has cut funding arguing he's done more with less. >> there's been some suggestion that somehow we've reduced our commitment there. the fact of the matter is we are serving four times the number of people today than we were when pet far first began. >> mr. obama has spent less time

in africa than mr. bush and is now playing catchup. china, india, brazil have invested billions of dollars in mining, construction and drilling projects. at a meeting with u.s. and african business leaders, the president vowed to step up the u.s. game. >> this is not charity. this is self-interest. that's why a key element of my engagement with africa and a key focus during this trip has been to promote, trade investment that can promote jobs on both sides of the planet. >> the the president returns to washington facing two immediate domestic priorities pushing immigration reform through the house and finding a solution to rising student loan interest rates. those interest rates doubled while the president was here in africa due to washington in action. charlie and norah. >> thanks. now to egyptian president mohamed morsi, he's rejecting an ultimatum from the military. we learned overnight president obama called morsi yesterday. he told him the united states is committed to the democratic process but not to a single

party or group. carissa ward is in cairo. >> reporter: the hits just keep coming for president morsi. this morning his foreign minister announced his resignation. this comes on the heels of the resignation of four other ministers yesterday. he now has less than 24 hours to meet the army's deadline and find a solution to this crisis. as the military helicopter circled overhead, egyptian flag through the fluttering the crowds roared with excitement. many of the demonstrators took the army's 48 hour deadline as a sign that a military coup was imminent, that morsi's days were numbers. but muslim brotherhood spokesman warned when the military previously taken over it has not ended well. >> messy, bloody failed at every avenue economically.

i think it's now time we as egyptians take responsibility as civilians of the leadership of the state. >> reporter: in a statement the army said that it only wanted to push both sides towards a political solution. the opposition has said it will not sit down with morsi and that his resignation is the only way out. >> we're exhausted. we don't want people who don't understand politics or anything this protester said. we want people who know how to govern. morsi supporters are now bracing themselves for a battle to defend this president, who they say has a democratic right to finish his term. it's still early here but as the day wears on and the temperature cools, this square behind me will undoubtedly fill with protesters. it won't be anti-morsi demonstrators on the street last night the muslim brotherhood called on its supporters to take to the streets in peaceful protest. the fear is with so many people

out on the streets and with passions running high on both sides, there could be more violence. for "cbs this morning," clarissa ward, cairo. it is time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. detroit free press says faa investigating a close call over southern michigan sunday night. spirit airlines flight was forced to make a certain dive came within two miles of a skydiving plane. luggage attendants bumped their heads, people screamed but no one hurt. >> financial maneuvers by former archbishop timothy dolan. he leads the new york diocese in wisconsin. dolan tried to protect church assets from claims in a growing sex abuse scandal. documents show dolan fought vatican approval to move $57 million off the books and into a trust fund. dolan's efforts to get rid of sex abusers were slowed by vatican beaurocracy. talks in the bay area strike

robert mills. the clip of the 29-year-old rookie has become internet sensation. welcome back to "cbs this morning." it's hard to read that at 25 miles an hour. >> that's awesome. that's really fast. >> it is. >> it's great. all right. more than 4.5 million americans now get paid with these debit cards, and that number is expected to grow. but those cards often carry hefty fees. jill schlesinger is a business analyst for cbs news. good morning. most of us get a paycheck or direct deposit. why are companies paying with cards now? >> well the company says it's more convenient. what we can do we can pay many of our hourly employees with these debit cards. you make $100. the company gives you this debit card, you go to an atm and you withdraw your pay. sounds like a great idea. except there are a lot of fees associated with it. maybe $1.75 goes to the atm.

maybe 50 cents if you have a balancery inquiry. and maybe if you don't use it an inactivity fee of $7. so we kind of got freaked out what gives? >> and how company, changing? >> absolutely. what we found out yesterday, mcdonald's which was one of the companies using this pre-paid card said, you know what we're not going to automatically make you use this card. you will now have a choice. this came of course, after they got sued by an employee who said why is this my only choice? now, you know in their defense, a lot of these employers are saying, hey, wait a minute, we were responding to a need. we had a lot of employees who are what we call unbanked. 10 million americans who just don't have bank accounts. and they were you saying well look, we want to use these cards to help these 10 million people. they're also employees. >> are the fees going to the card companies or the employers? >> oh that's such a great

question, charlie. both. so the charlie was set up between the employer and the bank. and there are different arrangements for every company. some employers actually got a kickback if their employees used the card. >> you nailed it charlie. you're so good. >> and so what was really interesting. i have to say it didn't happen at mcdonald's but the new york housing authority, for example, got money back from the bank for every employee who used one of these cards. now, look in many cases, a lot of the employers are saying hey, for the unbanked people they had to pay for a check cashing service, it would cost 15 bucks. this is cheaper. we're really good guys. i think in the end, this is about transparency and giving your employees choices. if the companies do that they're fine. if they are not being transparent, that is not good. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> how did you know everybody was getting a cut. >> a little piece of the action. >> thank you, jill. >> thanks jill.

last of that committee. there were four men chosen. adams and jefferson. adams get let's get jefferson, he's a good writer. he's from virginia. very important to include virginia in this decision. and adams said he was a ten times better writer than me. although adams' letter to abigail on july 3rd revealed the humanity for the people. >> and adams and jefferson both died on july 4th right? >> that may be the most extraordinary coincidence in all of history. on the 50th anniversary of the declaration adoption the two giants both died. >> not the same year but the same day. >> the same day, exactly on the 4th on the 50th anniversary. jefferson died first. adams was alive, of course in massachusetts. didn't know that jefferson had died but said famously perhaps

apocryphally that jefferson lives. >> you've been called the king of all knowing by a lot of people, they say you've become an expert in all your subjects. yet, you never finished college. and learning is still important to you, clearly? >> you know i think we get hung up on what college should be. ben franklin and george washington didn't finish college either. >> you said it's about curiosity, i think that's what is still important? >> it is. i feel like if we don't learn something every day, it's not a good day. that's how i approach history and all the other things i write about. >> you were talking about getting together these people to write i was thinking how great a dinner would it be to sit down with jefferson, adams, franklin? >> kennedy famously is he when he had the nobel prize winners
