funds. >> the grasshopper traveled sideways, then lowered itself back on to the launch pad. >> all that -- >> much -- >> that's something you hope never happens to you on live television. >> i just got that feeling again. you, come up here a minute please. come, come come, sit here. you get a car! you get a car! >> and all that matters. >> when she was paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident she promised herself she would walk on her wedding day. well, she did. >> i know we're going to last for the rest of our lives. >> on "cbs this morning." >> a new study that came out finds the very worst drivers drive a prius. it's difficult to drive while patting yourself on the back. welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning, charlie.

we've got some breaking news. >> all eyes on egypt. president obama will speak this hour about the crisis in egypt. >> the muslim brotherhood which backs ousted president morsi stormed two government buildings in giza today, setting them on fire. a state of emergency continues after yesterday's clashes. charlie dag'agata is following developments. >> reporter: good morning. egypt is not only in a state of emergency, it's in a state of shock. now, everybody had feared the six-week sit-in would end in violence. nobody quite expected this level of blood shed. this morning, soldiers broke down what little remained of the main protest camp bulldozing the remnants of protesters who fell in yesterday's bloody crackdown. the supporters of ousted president morsi, the muslim brotherhood, called yesterday's violence no less than a

massacre. first, police fired tear gas into the crowd to break up thousands of demonstrators. then security forces fired bullets. automatic weapons gunfire rang out at the site of the main demonstration. a makeshift clinic soon overwhelmed. most of the victims had gunshot wounds to the head and chest. giving weight to claims from protesters that snipers were firing into the crowd. but egyptian television supporters of the military-led interim government, shown what appear to be gunman within the crowd opening fire at security forces too. these images show what happened when protesters trapped an armored vehicle and managed to push it off an overpass killing four policemen. today, the muslim brotherhood said their fight is not over. they vowed to bring down what they called the military coup and said they remain committed to peaceful demonstrations. traffic has begun flowing thank you the streetank you the streets

that had been the scene of the sit-in. after yesterday's carnage, nobody here would ever describe the situation as getting back to normal. egyptians are waking up to an uncertain future this morning. now, an overnight curfew last night meant that the streets were virtually deserted. we saw eastern and police checkpoints. and more concerning than that we saw lots of groups of men wielding clubs and machetes, determined to hold on to the streets. charlie and norah. >> as we mentioned, president obama is interrupting vacation to speak this hour about the crisis. major garrett is on martha's vineyard. >> reporter: good morning, norah and charlie. we expect that announcement from president obama in about 15 minutes. every indication is the president will condemn the violence in strong terms. and also take one more step we believe, to register his displeasure with egypt's military rulers.

aides tell us the president is reviewing options to register his displeasure and try to get egypt's attention for good. up till the last moment the united states urged the egyptian military to avoid bloodshed and was ignored. with president obama golfing during his vacation it was left to secretary of state john kerry to express outrage and plead, again, for political compromise. >> egyptians inside and outside of the government need to take a step back. they need to calm the situation. and avoid further loss of life. violence is simply not a solution in egypt or in anywhere else. violence will not create a road map for egypt's future. >> reporter: the turmoil in egypt starkly illustrates the limits of u.s. power. >> the united states probably has less influence in egypt now than any time in decades but that reflects u.s. influence throughout the region at the moment and potentially around

the world. >> reporter: amid fears egypt could be headed towards civil war, the u.s. must worry about egyptian control of the suez canal. republicans like senators john mccain and lindsey graham recently back from egypt, have criticized criticized president obama for refusing to call the political ouster of democratically elected egypt mothbrotherhood morsi a coup. a former bush national security adviser, condoleezza rice shared recently in an interview with charlie rose. >> will tell you, i'm very worried that, in fact that's not what the egyptian military has in mind. when i see them putting their own pictures on the wall i'm worried they don't have in mind the mediate return to civilian leadership. >> reporter: senator mccain in an interview with the "wall street journal" called the president's policy in egypt, quote, a colossal failure.

called for the immediate end of $1.5 billion in military and financial assistance the united states provides to the egyptian military and its transitional government. white house aides say the president is reluctant to take that step fearing it might cost what little leverage the white house has over this transitional government. that leverage and its benefits difficult to measure in the current atmosphere. >> and that point, senator mccain who just came back from egypt, said that the united states bears large responsibility for the bloodletting that's going on because of our failure to have a relationship with the military generals there. what's been the white house response to that kind of criticism? >> the white house response is as follows. there is tremendous communication between the pentagon military leadership there and this military government at the head of the transitional egyptian government. it's been what the egyptians have done after the united states communicates its request not to have violence. clearly the military made a

dividend deifferent decision. the administration believes if it takes aide off the table, all communication will cease to exist. >> major, thank you so much. investigators in alabama trying to piece together what caused a u.p.s. cargo plane to crash. the two pilots were killed in wednesday's accident. the plane narrowly missed hitting homes in birmingham where people are finding metal scraps on roofs. manuel bojohrquez. >> reporter: investigators will be back to the crash site today. they're still trying to recover the black boxes. behind me is where the forward section of the aircraft came to a rest. it's incredible how close it cape to hitting this neighborhood. in fact, we can show you exactly how close it came. it clipped trees here beyond that intersection.

and the plane then crashed behind a church where it broke apart. the front section of the plane was sent thrust 200 yards away where it landed on top of that hill. u.p.s. flight 1354 crashed in an open field about half a mile from the runway. the wreckage is just yards away from eddie smith's home. >> i'm glad it's in an empty field. it could have been in a field. close call. very close call. you see where it's at. i live not two blocks. >> reporter: nearly 12 hours after the crash, parts of the wreckage were still smoldering. keeping ntsb investigators from getting to key evidence. including the black boxes which could shed light on the pilot's last moments. >> the initial information we have subject to verification, is there was no distress call from the pilots. >> reporter: flight tracking data shows the plane made a rapid descent as it neared

birmingham international airport. about three times faster than normal. air bus, the plane's manufacturer, and u.p.s. are working with the ntsb and fbi to determine what went wrong. >> human performance. systems, operations air traffic control, weather. we will be looking at everything that may be relevant to the causation of this accident. >> reporter: the a-300 aircraft is no longer used for passenger transport in the united states. a law enforcement official tells us at this point there is no evidence of terrorism or foul play. charlie and norah. >> manuel, thank you. new numbers overnight show foreclosures dropped 31% last month from the same time a year ago. more importantly, 2013 is shaping up to have the lowest

foreclosure rates in six years. >> however, nearly 1 in 5 homes with mortgages still considers underwater. jon hilsen wrath with the "wall street journal." how significant are these numbers? >> very significant. they're part of a broader trend. something economists call leveraging. americans have done something heroic really in the last five years. faced with all this debt after the housing boom they've made a lot of progress on paying it down. almost one-eighth of the household consumer debt got basically paid down or written off by banks in the last five years. and we're seeing that in foreclosure rates. banks are repossessing -- the rate of them repossessing homes is coming down because household finances are in better shapen this they were a few years ago. >> yet some states are seeing an increase in foreclosure stats. we see maryland up 275%.

what -- explain what that means. >> well, think you're going to see different parts of the country progressing and regresing at different rates. what's interesting to me about the increases is we're seeing a lot of them in the northeast. new jersey new york connecticut. so it looks like that part of the united states is not doing as well in this recovery. and repairing household finances. >> this year looks like a very positive year in the whole arena of housing recovery as a central part of the economic recovery? >> it certainly does. and the big question here is whether we see follow-through in the economy. so this is -- the stage of the story -- or americans have repaired their finances, are they going to start spending money? there's this idea called the paradox of thrift. the flip side of thriftiness we're seeing from households they're not spending a lot of money. the economy is growing very slowly. the big question right now is do

people start feeling better enough about their finances to start spending a little bit and getting the economy growing faster and creating more jobs? that's really what we have to start seeing next. a faster growing economy. more job growth. that's what will keep this recovery going. and the republican party hopes to change the perception by some that it is too old and too white. party leaders are meeting in boston this week. today, the gop launches a new program called rising stars. it highlights young republicans. the chairman says the party is going to change the way it reaches voters. >> our party's got to be a party that's not just about poor people down the hallway that the rnc is doing outreach. >> an online database to find fresh faces for media interviews. >> 14 homes in utah are gone this morning.

a wildfire threat ofs more than 200 others. wind driven flames have burned about 3,000 miles of land outside the resort town of park city. the fire is 25% contained. evacuation orders are enforced. another fire has jumped the board near idaho. it's burned almost 36,000 miles. there's another system brewing just in time for the most active part of the hurricane season. >> tropical depression number five is now tropical storm erin in the far eastern atlantic about 60 miles south-southwest of the cape verdye islands. forecast to continue in that direction across the central atlantic. we're keeping a closer eye on an area down in the northwestern caribbean. with potential development in the next 48 hours. as we head into the next five

days, there's a high chance this could become a tropical cyclone. right now, most of the models indicating it will be moving likely into the gulf of mexico. with all this moisture surging from the south in the caribbean, we could see some heavy rain from the panhandle of florida all the way to the southeast. we could be picking up anywhere from 2 to 5 inches of rain isolated amounts of up to 8 inches of rain. charlie, norah. an army private first class bradley manning is apologizing for leaking sensitive documents about the war in iraq to wikileaks. at his court-martial, he said his action hurt the u.s. he told the judge he had a difficult childhood. he described himself as a woman trapped in a man's body. a picture released shows him wearing a blonde wig and lipstick. manning could be sentenced to 90 years in prison. jesse jackson jr. will spend 2 1/2 years in prison. the former illinois congressman was sentenced wednesday.

he pleaded guilty to illegally spending money in campaign funds. after court, jackson said he made mistakes. >> i still believe in the power of forgiveness. i believe in the power of redemption. today, i manned up and tried to accept responsibility for the errors of my ways. i still believe in the resurrection. >> jackson's wife sandra will spend a year in jail for filing false income tax returns. there are new and disturbing details in last week's kidnapping of a california teacher and search warrants reveal that 16-year-old hannah anderson's mother and brother were tortured and killed before hannah was taken. the warrant does not reveal exactly how the two were tortured but investigators say they found a crowbar near the bodies of christina anderson and 8-year-old ethan anderson. the warrant also states that suspect james lee dimaggio had 13 phone calls with hannah anderson on the day of the kidnapping. authorities also learned dimaggio who the family called uncle jim, had taken hannah on

"usa today" reports this morning a tentative plan is in place. hdh is produced naturally in the body. it can also be delivered artificially, giving athletes a boost. don dahler is with us. >> it is believed players learned about the deal earlier this week in a union memo. the plan calls for a number of things, including asking retired players to voluntarily take hdh in an attempt to figure out how it impacts an athlete's normal leaves. with just two weeks to go before

the start of the 2013 season it appears the nfl is moving closer to testing players for human growth hormone. according to "usa today," a preliminary plan involves studying roughly 100 former players with two-thirds of them receiving hgh and the rest a placebo. blood tests will be conducted to help determine what's being called a decision limit. >> the goal is to see what a player who is actually taking or a former player in this case who is actually taking growth hormone looks like and what a normal player looks like. you can draw the decision line. >> reporter: all current players would also be subject to blood tests before the study. once hdh testing begins a total of 40 players will be chosen at random from eight teams every week. a first offense would result in a four-game suspension. it was back in 2011 when the league and union cleared the way for hdh testing as part of a ten-year collective barringening

agreement. since then commissioner goodell has pushed for the checks. on the eve of this year's super bowl, he hinted a deal was close. >> i believe hdh testing is going to happen prior to the season. it's the rye thing to do. for the players. for their health and well being long term. it's the right thing to do for the integrity of the game. >> in a statement wednesday, an nfl spokesperson denied any final plan saying we don't have an agreement at this time with the nfl players association to begin testing for hdh. even when hdh testing began, some say it will still be hard to detect because the hormone already exists in the body. >> all drug testing has an enormous rate of false negatives it the public reputation anti-doping testing far exceeds its capabilities. the idea is to catch a guy here and there and hope it serves as a deterrent. >> reporter: we asked the players union for a statement

but we've not yet heard back. it's unclear when the testing would actually start. both sides are reportedly still negotiating the details including who would handle disciplinary a peelppeals. >> it sounds like science fiction bringing asteroids close to earth and mining them for precious resources but nasa's announced a mission to explore that possibility. and a number of billionaires are getting in on the action. cbs this morning contributor michio kaku. this sounds incredible. how real how serious, how possible is it? >> well mining the heavens could be a game changer. it's like buck rogers meets silicon valley. google billionaires are putting their money where their mouth is and saying we could be opening up in the same way that the gold rush of 1849 opens up california for exploration. trillions of dollars could be at stake.

if we could find asteroids close enough to the earth to begin the process of mining. so bruce willis watch out. >> it sounds like -- go ahead. >> i was going to say, normally when you're here you warn us that asteroids are coming towards the earth and going to kill us all. now you're saying they're going to make us rich. >> that's right, asteroids are a double edge sword. when they hit the earth, they can wipe out russia for example. but because they're full of rich minerals like platinum for example they could eliminate many of the bottlenecks we find on the planet that create a trillion dollar economy. >> what other minerals are found? >> rare earth. china contains rare earth and could use it for political gain. this could aleveleviate the fact eventually we'll run out of all these materials. >> this is not just theoretical. billionaires are interested in this. 12 asteroids are already been identified, right?

>> that's right. there's a dirty four letter word called cost. the fact these asteroids are so close to the earth, in eight years, in eight years time we could send a rocket to nudge one of these asteroids so it orbits the earth, then we can mine these asteroids at our leisure as they orbit the planet. >> what's asteroid? >> an asteroid is a rock from space. they range from a few inches to several hundreds of miles. which means if we nudge one of these asteroids, we have to aim it very carefully. oop, there goes new york city. if you nudge it the wrong way. these are huge rocks from space and they are potential meteors. >> that's the good and bad. >> it's the good and bad. yeah. michio, as always fascinating to have you. there's the sound bite you nudge it the wrong way and there goes new york city. a growing controversy this morning surrounding singer miley cyrus' latest hit. we can't stop is number two on the hot 100. as bill whitaker reports, cyrus

. two groundbreaking studies were published wednesday and they could lead to major changes in diagnosing treating and preventing some of most common forms of cancer. dr. david agus is a cbs news con trb tributer and he leads the west side center at southern california university. let's start with the study in the journal nature where scientists say they've uncovered the genetic signature, of many of these kinds of cancers. what did the study find? why do you think it's so important? >> right. it's really a groundbreaking study. 7,000 specimens representing 30 different cancers were sequenced. what they found was 21 different

patterns ss relating to cancer. you could trace these patterns back to dna changes. we could find the causality. about half of them now we know what caused it. we look at a cancer now and look at the dna and say, hey, this one was caused by edd edd by smoking. the key is you know the initiating cause, you'll do much better at treatment. if you're a plumber and you go into a house and there's a leak you could turn off all the water mains and turn off all the water in the house and it will stop the leak. by vaguehaving this data we can know where the leak is and turn it off for the cancer. can turn it off for cancer. >> david, what this means for the average person who has cancer. >> what's exciting, year ss ago sequencing a genome used to cost

hundreds of millions of particulars. we're going to be able do a test and say your initiating cause is x and we're going to be able to go to treatments. in walter isaacson's job about steve jobs. when the cancer progressed he would swim in a pond. the goal is to feed the lily pad in each patient. >> so we're building much more data about each individual cancer. let me turn to -- >> oh yeah. >> go ahead. >> every study you saw before was two or seven or ten. this is 7,000. >> let me return to this. this common drug may be effective in the treatment or prevention of prostate cancer. >> this is a very interesting and hard to understand study.

so in 2003 the day ka came out and we auld heard if you take this one blog it can block hair loss. it would decrease cancer by 30%. a new study shows there was an increase of 30% of adepressive cancer. if you took the pill, the you could decrease the cancer by 30% but it will not prevent death rates. it gets rid of the cancers that are not going to cause a problem. but it will lead to hair growth. >> the take-home to people though is it's not going to decrease the death of cancer. why take this. we need to change medicine so we cannot treatment these met since

over two centuries. >> what's fascinating was increase in the words in the book "choose" and "get." when my children said i want something, i always say want does not get. >> i think it's interesting if from a point of view of women. two years ago the role of a woman was completely different and i would actually argue that the role of women 200 years later is actually by wanting and getting and women aren't i would't say more self centered but more self-powered. we have more of a role in our marriages, in our careers, in the vote. last time i was here we talked about it. >> so you think there's nothing wrong with that. >> i think we could all use more self-discovery and self-empower meant and women and men can ben

it from from it. >> think introspection can be good in terms of where you are -- who you are and where you're about. let me talk about the influences of people moving from the country to the city. >> i'm glad that my aunt got to wake up and milk a cow in ireland. i'm glad to be sitting here. some of the most successful shows have been "friends," "seinfeld," "cheers." it's great to have all these new choices for everyone but we kind of want that sense of security. >> wham path has social media had on all this? >> i think social media enforces for all of us it forces everyone to become a little bit

of a mini brand. do you have to thing of yourself whether it's yourself on facebook your witty twitter. there are books, how to ganl more followers and that can become more of brand. it does force all of us -- there was even a study about 16-year-old's of becoming the pressure of becoming a brand. >> what's the downside of this? you hear baneer fois was on the me. there's a lack of the selective good will. >> it takes a individual. >> i like the self-empowerment idea. i like communities online. i think cities are collections of little neighborhoods. i have my community in brooklyn of friends and neighbors.

high," "platoon," "good morning vietnam," at the crying game." he's also work aid longside some of the industry's best directors including clint eastwood robert red redford, and oliver stone. but it was in the film "the last king of scotland" that ultimately catapulted him to stardom. it made him the fourth african-american in history to win the oscar best actor. he returns to s tos to theaters this weekend starring opposite oprah winfrey. he served eight consecutive u.s. presidents. it explores such historic events

as as kennedy's assassination and the movement. whittaker calls the film one of the biggest challenges of his career >> it opens tomorrow in theaters. we've both seen your film and everything thinks it's significant. >> you studied eugene allen, the butler who served eight administrations. he's an incredible man. what did you want to convey? >> i wanted to show a sense of service, the giving of his way, the dignity of his life his commitment to his family and to his country. i studied him first to understand sort of the me mechanics, i guess, that you try to live your life fully and how

the country influences your personal life in a way that is really unique in this film. >> what's unique too is how these presidents had a certain warmth about him. >> yes. we go through and there's five precedents you d get to see their vulnerability during the time they were very volatile and trying to reshape the country's issues of social justice and such. >> it pulls pack the curtain of life inside the white house, which is presidents who live above the store and the closeness with people who work in the white house some of you get that sense. and then eugene allen is with so many of these presents. and then it plays out the whole struggle which is so powerful.

>> i think what he did that's so amazing is to be able to show -- it's a father/son core racing. my son tries to work through changes. as you go through the civil rights movement and you watch what hit does to my wife. you see the loss of my son. you see the war, you know from a personal and emotional source and i think that's really powerful for people because you feel it. >> oprah policemans your wife gloria gloria. what does she represent in the film? >> in a way she supports all the women. cecil gaines. it's inspired by his life you

know? know. she was a rock in a way for my life. you can see those signs, how i'm trying to hold the fam together with love. >> has acting been what you wanted it to be? you have a variety of roles. is there something that you have not yet achieved that you want to achieve, do that you want to do? >> i think as a rule i can't say but as an artist and purpose i try to keep deepening my connection with others and it's through the face of these characters that i deal with the source of humanity. >> forest there are some scenes in this movie that really tear at your heart strings, a lot of them. tore at my heart strings. there's a scene in the movie when he's left the white house

and he ee retired and cecil gaines who's married to oprah, he looks back at the old shacks where they lived growing up and he said we grow up learning about camps your seas and we've hand camps in this country for over 200 years. >> sure. by looking at it you really get to understand the movement of the civil rights history. you get to go from basically a step above a slave to the current presidency. and you watch that through the eyes of this simple man, you know? >> it comes right to the election of obama, the illusion of the film. >> yeah. >> have you talked to the president about the movie? >> i have not. i'm hoping he sees the movie and enjoys it actually. >> i bet he sees it on vacation.

irishman traveled down to washington with his new family. and in order to tell his neighbored how well he was doing, he had his picture taken in front of the white house. they said this is our summer home, coand see us. well it's our home also in the winter and i hope you will come and see us. thank you. >> reporter: the cadets who had impressed hawaii with that visit, they were there by his graveside. for "cbs this morning," i'm charlie d'agata, london. >> boy if the word grace was not there it certainly defined how he moved out of his life into our own. >> that was a big moment for ireland. you see president obama tried to recreate that when he went to
