7:07 am
borders, as many as 20 embassies and diplomatic posts throughout the middle east are expected to remain closed till at least saturday. anthony and norah. >> a massive fire broke out this morning at the international airport in nairobi, kenya. ipts the largest airport in east africa. officials diverted all incoming flights. no injuries are reported. terrorism is not suspected. but it happened on the 15th anniversary of the u.s. embassy bombings in nairobi and tanzania. >> nearly a year later, the justice department has filed the first criminal charges in the deadly attack in benghazi libya. four americans including ambassador chris stevens were killed in the assault. margaret brennan. >> reporter: good morning. federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges against a libyan militia leader believed to be linked to the september 11th attacks in benghazi. his name is ahmed abu atala. the department of justice is keeping the charges against abu
7:08 am
atala under seal but what we know is since that night he's been living openly in benghazi. he told cbs news last fall that he was on the scene during the attack. but denied a role in the fatal assault. it is not clear whether the u.s. has asked libyan authorities to arrest him or whether the fbi has yet identified the other suspects seen in these photos taken off the security cameras at the diplomatic mission. thought to be members of answer al shar ya the militia led by abu atala. the u.s. government does not classify him, nor the group, as terrorists. sayingth investigation is ongoing. it's a top priority. the fbi has not made any arrests during the 11 months since the attack and the administration is under pressure to take action. last week a small but vocal group of eight republican congressmen sent a message to the new fbi director james
7:09 am
comey, pressing him to step it up. fbi access in libya has been limited since the beginning and any arrests are likely to involve significant negotiations between the state department and the libyan government which has, at best minimal control over the country. >> margaret brennan, thanks. the search continues for a california man, james dimaggio, suspected of killing a woman, kidnapping her 16-year-old daughter and either abducting or killing the woman's 8-year-old son. the bodies of christina anderson and her child were found in dimaggio's burned-out home. >> you've taken everything else. hannah, we all love you very much. if you have a chance you take it. you run.
7:10 am
>> anderson took part in a candlelight vigil on tuesday. court marshal-martial continues today. mark nidal hasan is representing himself. saying, quote, the evidence will clearly show i am the shooter. he says his only regret is he is among the imperfect muslims trying to establish the perfect religion. he said i apologize for any mistakes i made in this endeavor. so far, hasan is not cross examining them. former president george w. bush is expected to be released from a dallas hospital this morning. he underwent a procedure to clear a clogged artery yesterday. doctors placed a stent in the artery. they discovered the blockage during his annual physical monday. our chief medical correspondent is with us. explain the procedure, if you would, that the president had.
7:11 am
>> over time you can develop plaque in an artery supplying the heart muscle. in a stenting procedure, a tiny catheter is introduced right up to that area of blockage and a balloon is introduced to below up that blockage and then a stent is placed to keep it open. >> is that the only way to treat a blockage? >> no therein lies a huge controversy. you would thing, would you not, if you have a blocked artery the person will do better. but it's not true. the only time stenting has been shown to either prolong life or prevent a heart attack is if a person is having a heart attack or a near heart attack but 80% of people getting this elective procedure don't know that. now, cardiologists will say if they think the anatomy is such that a large part of the heart is threatened, they will do the stent. >> you're not treating president bush so you're not familiar with him but what do you think that means about his health? >> heart disease is the number one killer in the united states
7:12 am
for both men and women. every year many many people die without knowing they have any symptoms of heart attack knowing they have any history of heart attack. >> so given his -- this is a very active guy. should we be surprised this happened? >> i don't thingk we should be surprised. about 350,000 times a year people have sudden cardiac arrests. half of the time people have no idea they had any cardiac disease. >> i covered george w. bush 67 years old, extremely healthy. runs bikes, gave up drinking doesn't smoke. is it possible that stress could have caused this rather than -- because he's so healthy, that it could have been something else that caused it? >> you know what stress is a factor. at first we used to say, no that's really not true. now we're realizeingeing stress is something that can con tribute. let's look at basic risk factor high blood pressure diabetes smoking, being overweight not exercising. >> he doesn't have any of those. >> for people out there
7:13 am
listening, thinks the message for people watching this today should look at it. talk to your doctor. here's part of the controversy. routine stress testing for people at low risk of heart disease is not recommended routinely. so something must have happened with him. we do not know any of the details here but something must have happened that made them say let's go ahead and do a stress test. >> that's very interesting. doctor, thank you so much. the cleveland house where three women were held captive is no more. it took less than one hour for crews to demolish it. one of the victims came to watch and she released balloons and spoke. >> let everybody know that they're heard, that they are loved, and there is hope for everyone. >> the demolition is part of the deal that spared castro a possible death sentence. he was sentenced last week to life. the women escaped in may.
7:14 am
the family picked up personal items earlier this week from the house. new developments in egypt. the egyptian government says foreign efforts to end the bloody standoff with the muslim brotherhood has failed. the top u.s. diplomat involved in those talks has now left the country. we know that senators john mccain and lindsey graham arrived on monday. but as clarissa ward reports from cairo listen to this their message fell on deaf ears. >> reporter: the senators came with a message of friendship but they also delivered a stern warning. that if this country does not take steps towards reconciliation, it could be consumed by violence. are you alarmed by what you see happening in egypt? >> oh my god, i didn't know it was this bad. these folks are just days or weeks away from all-out bloodshed. there's a demonstration that's going to go bad here soon. the police are going to overreact. yes, i am extremely worried.
7:15 am
>> reporter: you both called this a coup in one way or another. why do you think president obama chose to send you two? >> i don't know but he didn't really send us. we were planning on going. what we're trying to do is mom forward and see if we can't bring about movement towards peaceful negotiations. >> why don't we call it a coup? the people governing the country never got one vote. the people who won the election are in jail. pretty clear to me that's the definition of a coup. >> reporter: the president called the senator's comments clumsy and unacceptable and announced international efforts to diffuseefuse the standoff has failed. certainly not the results they hoped for. president obama says he's endorsing a plan to wind down mortgage giants fannie mae and freddie mac. >> for too long these companies were allowed to make huge
7:16 am
profits buying mortgages knowing that if their bets went bad, taxpayers would be left holding the bag. it was heads we win, tails, you lose. and it was wrong. >> michael santoli is a senior columnist for yahoo! finance. what does this mean winding it down? >> basically mean we would no longer have these sort of quasipublic but profit-seeking companies, fannie and freddie, which were out there buying up most of the mortgages in the country and make a profit but in the crisis getting absolved by the government. even though the president laid out broad parameters it would probably are a more explicit but more limited government guarantee of mortgages. and allow the banks themselves to price the credit risk and not just sell the mortgages, off-load them to fannie and freddie. >> fannie and freddie basically are the mortgage market right now. >> and fha. >> right and the reason banks were willing to make loans is they knee fannie and freddie would buy the mortgages from them. take them away how does it
7:17 am
work? >> this is the trick. on paper it means mortgages would become more expensive. the president says he wants some provision to guarantee the availability of 30-year fixed rate mortgages. that would probably require, again, some kind of implied or explicit subsidy by the government. >> do you think this tells us anything about the health of the housing market? >> i don't think you have an announcement like this if there wasn't some comfort the housing market wasn't coming back. that they no longer had to do damage control on a day to day basis. >> if i have a fannie or freddie loan, do i need to be worried? >> i think no matter what comes of this the loan will be served. it will be handed off to a regular mortgage servicer. i don't think that is really the problem here. >> michael, good to see you, thank you. time to show you some of this morning's headlines.

7:32 am
>> i'm great. i'm great. what did you think when you heard from the cdc that these rates are going down? >> we were just thrilled and the first lady was absolutely overjoyed. we're really seeing our country united around the kids' health. for the first time in a decade we're see ging a down grade. they're making a difference. we've got to a long way to go but we're on the right track. >> this has been a signature issue. what about the campaign do you think led to this drop in obesity rates? >> well i don't think there's any one cause that we can see to, you know give us this drop. it's a complex issue and it has complex issues but we know early childhood is such an important component of making sure our kids are on the right path to a healthy life. the first lady launched "let's
7:33 am
move" child care to get healthier snacks better beverages, not too much screen time and they're running around and that leadership i know is making a big difference but it's been a lot of efforts from leadership across the country that's going to lead to declines as broad as these. >> sam the cdc says much of the credit is due to changes in the government's food plan like removing juice and adding low fat milk. is there any real evidence that that's making a difference? >> i think we know that improved -- i think they're referring to the wyc program. it's absolutely critical to getting them to on to a healthy start. here's the one reason we're seeing the decline because there's a lot of reasons we're seeing the trouble that we had, but we know that for the first time in over three decades since the beginning of this epidemic
7:34 am
we're seeing broad declines and it's not happening by mistake. it's happening because people are stepping up from parents, teachers doctors, community leaders to really make some changes and that's why we're seeing such good results. >> all right. sam kass good to see you. thank you. >> good to see you, thank you so much. and a multi-million-dollar project is on the ground. hollywood's plan to build two new skyscrapers could be catastrophic and as john blackstone reports it could be home to an active earthquake fault. >> reporter: everyone knows hollywood is the capital city of the movie business. what they may not know is it's built along one of southern california's more active earthquake zones. >> this is called scarp. >> reporter: he's works with a group opposed to transforming the area.
7:35 am
it's a multi-million dollar development that includes two high-rise buildings. the proposed towers would add more than a million square feet of office hotel, and retail space to the popular tourist spot but opponents say they may also sit right on top of that earthquake fault line. >> you can never build on top of the fault. that's not allowed because there's a certainty that you will have devastating failure of the building. >> reporter: california state geologists has declared the fault is active and might run directly underneath the probably, but the new york-based developers say the data being cite ready inaccurate. they say their tests show that the fault might be near but does not run under the nearly 408-story towers. >> we don't know exactly where they are but we've done borings and we don't believe it's on our

hollywood. >> you said it's built like a stack of records. >> yeah. new york city mayoral candidate anthony weiner can't afford to lose any more voters in the wake of his sexting scandal but this morning he faces a new controversy. he slammed his opponent over age and did so before the aarp. elaine kikaquijano has more. that led to the confrontation at the start of a forum. if anthony weiner is trying to win over senior citizens. insulting rival george mcdonald over his age may not be the best way to do it. weiner then accused his 69-year-old opponent of having anger issues and called him
7:38 am
grandpa. a spokesman for the aarp called weiner's comment unfortunate and mcdonald tweeted this quote, weiner treats seniors with the same lack of respect he treats women. he's been an outspoken critic of his democratic rival but got litter support from the crowd. >> believe me it's not nice to talk about. i didn't have a nice conversation conversation with my grand daughter. why is he so popular. what did he do? why don't you do what he did? why do you want to ignore a person's character and judgment? okay. you don't want to allow me more time to talk that's more time for this glib narcissist. >> you can rest assured i don't take pictures of mooichlts thank you so much. >> reporter: although the
7:39 am
congressman has seen a drop in the polls it seems he still has plenty of supporters. >> i don't know. i'm cool with that. i'm cool with that. >> as for calling his opponent grandpa, the weiner campaign did not respond to our request for comment. anthony, norah? >> it's not a campaign. it's a circus. >> it is. i mean i just moved to new york. >> sorry. welcome to town. >> i've covered politics for a long time but wow. >> politics as usual. a simple campaign to put a woman's face on money has turned into an ugly battle in britain. it's led to tweeter changers. you'll meet the blogger in the middle of the controversy. that's next on "cbs this morning."
