>> thanks for watching, everyone. next local update is 7:26. good morning to our viewers in the west. it is monday, august 19th, 2013. welcome to "cbs this morning." overnight, dozens of egyptian police officers are shot and killed execution-style. and hosni mubarak could soon be a free man. plus, fire forces thousands from their homes in idaho. will san diego's embattled mayor actually show up for work today? and alex rodriguez drilled on the field as his lawyer claims the yankees tried to tank his career. but we begin with a look at today's eye opener. your world in 90 seconds. >> we know what they're doing. we're happy they're doing it for us.

they're the guys that are going to fight this thing and get us hopefully back to normal. >> crews battle fires throughout the west. >> idaho seems to be getting the worst of it. right now, the fire east of boise has burned more than 100,000 acres and has forced thousands from their homes. >> hosni mubarak could be released from prison.cleared him of his corruption case. >> you're going to have an armed insurgency, not protesters on your hands. we're going to have to suspend the aid. >> he remains free on bail charged with the premeditated murder of his girlfriend. >> bob filner is expected to return to work today, just as a recall effort gets under way to try to remove him from office. >> as long as the people of san diego and the council want it, he will be removed. it's futile to hold on. >> southwest is bracing for floods from the gulf to the

carolinas. threatening to bring even more heavy rain -- >> covering a nearby city with a thick layer of ash. people there are using masks. >> all that. >> a-rod drilled. >> i'll be really disappointed if he's not suspended. >> i'm the wrong guy to be asking about suspension. let me tell you. >> she showed her toughness. >> and all that matters. >> i think the last few weeks for me have been just a very different emotional experience. something i never thought i would feel myself. and a lot of things affect me differently now. >> on "cbs this morning." >> the freshman at ball state had a dance to winchance to win free tuition for a semester by making a half court shot. welcome to "cbs this morning." norah o'donnell is off. welcome back good to see you. >> it's good to be back after

two weeks. not a spank, not an eye lash and i am delighted to be here. >> gayle is back. cutting off some financial aid to egypt. >> the death toll from less than a week unrest could soon reach a staggering milestone. today, there is new violence. the target police officers. charlie d'agata is in cairo's teher square. good morning. >> reporter: first, breaking news out of cairo, shocking news. former president hosni mubarak has just been acquitted of corruption charges. his lawyer told us he could be freed within the next 4 hour8 hours. there are reports prosecutors want to hang on to him for 15 days or more. an attack in sinai that left more than 20 policeman dead. today's ambush attack is the worst single killing of security force misin a region that has seen these attacks triple. the violence is spreading.

in cairo, we watched as egyptian soldiers drew their battle lines. the muslim brotherhood, supporters of mohammeded morsi, said they'd be marching towards a showdown at the courthouse. but this time the military made sure there was no way they would even get close. the muslim brotherhood has called for a solid week of protest. cairo has become a battleground between their supporters and egyptian police in military. with a death toll climbing toward 1,000 since last wednesday's crackdown. the vast majority of the dead were gunned down by security forces. but they've also suffered losses. and the government took journalists around a hospital to make sure we're telling that side of the story too. yesterday, the military leader general al sissy, went on state tv and vowed we will not stand by silently watching the destruction of the country and the people or torching the nation and terrorizing citizens.

the military-led government is doing everything it can to break the brotherhood. arresting hundreds of its members, including key leaders, and considering the proposal to ban the whole organization on the grounds of terrorism. in another dramatic incident overnight, the government says 32 muslim brotherhood prisoners were killed while they were trying to escape. the muslim brotherhood says that's not the case. as 52 of it its supporters that they were assassinated. whatever the case, it's going to inflame the already tense situation here. charlie and gayle. >> charlie d'agata, thanks. the crisis in egypt is front and center for president obama who is back at the white house this morning. defense secretary chuck hagel meets with reporters this hour. he could face questions about cutting military aid to egypt. lawmakers are divided on that. >> when we threaten something, as we did that we could cut off aid, the administration did, and then not do it then you lose your credibility and you influence. >> i don't think you throw the

baby out with the bath water. egypt's an important country. i think we have to be very, very careful before we willy-nilly just cut off aid. >> bill plante is at the white house. >> reporter: president obama would prefer to focus on the economy today. he's got a meeting with financial regulators leaders this morning western time. but he can't avoid the problems in egypt. the state department has now begun taking steps to withhold economic aid. that's only about 200 million of the 1.5 billion that egypt gets annually from the u.s. the rest of course is for the military. and that comes as congressional criticism of the response continues to grow. lawmakers have several more weeks of recess. but even so on sunday, a lot of them were very vocal in opposition to the decision not to call the overthrow of president morsi a coup. that would trigger an automatic cutoff of military aid. egypt is far from the only difficult issue coming up. in the next ten week the president faces several uphill

battles that could decide how his presidency is remembered. the government could shut down on september 30th if mr. obama and congressional leaders can't come to an agreement on spending. and around the same time the debt ceiling has to be raised. the president says he won't negotiate on that one. he also faces a continuing fight over the implementation of his health care bill. there's recent evidence the national security agency collected data on millions of americans. that's another headache for mr. obama. gayle, charlie. >> thank you, bill. the fallout from the nsa scandal is growing this morning. the washington reported the agency broke privacy rules thousands of times since 2008. >> "the post" cited an internal audit and other top-secret documents reportedly obtained from former contractor edward snowden. on cbs "face the nation" sunday california congresswoman jackie spear said it revealed what she

calls extraordinary misdeeds. >> there is failed oversight now. the fact there's all this active going on that we don't know about. they spoon feed to the intelligence committees of both houses what they want to tell them. for any of us to say that we know what's going on in the nsa i would find very suspect. >> our senior correspondent john miller served in the office of the director of national intelligence. he spoke with the nsa last night. welcome back, john, good morning. >> good to be back. >> good morning. >> is this failed oversight? what kind of oversight is it? >> this is very frustrating for the people of the nsa. because their view on this is that this is successful oversight. they said, you know we made these mistakes but we encourage -- in my experience in intelligence community, in dealing with the nsa, which was sometimes difficult, because they were all about rules. but they say this is a culture of self-reporting. we say, if one of our people makes a mistake, don't first think, i'm going to make a

mistake, i'm going to get in trouble. first, write it up. if you need better training we'll get it for you. the idea is let's collect this data and make sure we find out where vulnerabilities are. so, one of the -- the nsa's also made up of a lot of mathematician mathematicians. one of the things they said is 115 out of more than 61 million inquiries that were cited as a mistake, they said that's a compliance rate of 999%. >> percent. >> right. point. so they think they're doing pretty well. the bulk of these things were they listened to peepople in the u.s., which they're not supposed to do was a result of what they call roemers. a legitimate terrorist person who's a terrorist target who happens to be in the united states and they're picking up the signal of their phone or e-mail account or whatever while they're here. that's a serious violation of their rules. on the other hand i think a whole lot of americans would say, if there's a terrorist

target from overseas running around the united states, we would kind of want them listening to that. >> what kind of mistakes are we talking about here? >> you're talking about two or three kinds of things. some of these are typographical errors where they're making a query and there's a typo and it delivers information on something else. that's the .99998%. others are these roamer things. basically, it is not -- there was nothing uncovered in these reports that showed a deliberate attempt or a knowing attempt to listen in or read anything they weren't legally entitled to. >> there was this note over the weekend that the partner of glenn greenwald has a connection with edward snowden, was detained at an airport. >> he was stopped in transit in london coming from berlin where he was meeting with laura portis who is the documentarymaker who's doing the edward snowden documentary. and he was held for eight hours

under a british law that says if you're a potential suspect in some terrorism matter, you can be detained. glenn greenwald is upset about this. brits are different from us in a couple of ways. one way is the way they handle state secrets. which is they have things like a d notice where they can actually order newspapers no the to publish something. this signals two things. number one they separate this case from a regular press case because they have an individual who's flying through foreign countries with computers that may have tens of thousands of top secret government documents. there are documents, but you can't separate us from the brit because their nsa works with ours hand in glove. all our programs are interlocked. they have a big concern there. it's really going to send rippling through the press. >> john miller, thank you. a wildfire in central idaho is threatening thousands in resort

areas this morning. the beaver creek fire has burned nearly 160 square miles. that's 2 1/2 times the size of washington, d.c. john blackstone is in ketcham near sun valley. john, good morning. >> reporter: with fire burning in the mountains around town it is smoky here in ketcham this morning. but this town remains on alert that it may have to evacuate at short notice. but it already seems like a ghost town. nearly 3,000 residents of this region have already evacuated their homes. as the wildfire moves closer. containment of this massive wildfire went from 9% to 8%. dry winds have helped fuel the fire over 100,000 ericacres. helicopters and airplanes circled. marking retardant and water drops. the goal now is to remove the

fuel. crews are ridding the area of vegetation that could feed the flames and building fire breaks they hope will stop the blaze. but 12 days into this fight, the fire surges on. crews must also work to protect houses that are now in its immediate path. the beaver creek fire has scorched just a single home. but it's now threatening multimillion dollar houses in the affluent ski resort valleys. some residents are taking matters into their own hands. >> i put together a sprinkler system that would totally saturate the roof. >> reporter: weather conditions are expected to worsen today, making an already stubborn fire even harder to fight. >> it spread all over the place. you see pieces burning everywhere. it's no wonder it's a little tough to get a handle on this one. >> p >> reporter: firefighters have a challenge today with

temperatures in the 90s and windswind s winds gusting 25 miles an hour. with the fire so close, many businesses in ketcham have closed down during what is often the height of the summer tourist season. there are few tourists here. for good reason. instead of fresh mountain air, the air is thick with smoke. >> thank you, john. san diego mayor's bob filner supposed to go back to work today. whether he will is anybody's guess. recall campaign launched a petition drive sunday. a poll finds 72% of voters in san diego would sign it. filner's accused of sexual harassment. there are more than a dozen alleged victims. bill whitaker is in san diego. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie, good morning, gayle. today, mayor filner is supposed to return to work after undergoing just two weeks of rehab for help with issues that have led to charge of sexual harassment. now, few expect that he will actually return today. as he weathered the growing

filled kiss. >> reporter: when michelle tyler asked the mayor to help an injured iraqi vet, she alleged filner asked her for sexual favors. >> everybody thinks was this a one-time incident. then you hear about one person after the next after the next, you're just shocked. >> reporter: 67-year-old great-grandmother peggy shannon says filner's kisses and sexual conversations made her uncomfortable. a city employee, she was afraid to speak out. >> this is why i did it. for the people of san diego, for these ladies. and for san diego to be able to move forward. >> reporter: before going into rehab, mayor filner acknowledged his troubles. >> i must become a better person. >> reporter: now the city attorney is investigating questionable charges. on filner's city issued credit card looking for other legal means to oust the disgraced mayor. >> he will be removed. the people of san diego have now seen it. and the problem with bob filner

is that he has to see it. >> reporter: yesterday, an anti-filner rally. today, the mayor's supporters are expected to rally in downtown san diego. as for the mayor himself, well he's known to be stubborn and few expect him to give up without a fight. >> thanks bill. the crew of a u.p.s. cargo jet that crashed in alabama was warned the plane was dropping too quickly seconds before it hit the ground. the twin engine jet went down near the birmingham airport wednesday. both pilots were killed. several seconds before the crash, a sink rate alarm went off. investigators say they're not finding a problem with the controls or the engines. they plan to look at pilot pressures and training. >> in south africa, the olympian known as the blade runner was indicted this morning for murder. oscar pistorius is charged with the murder of his girlfriend on

time could block him from playing college football. we'll look at the rule that's keeping a talente ds between a-rod's attorney and the yankees front office. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. this latest dispute dates back to last year's playoffs when the yankees were swept by detroit and rodriguez's poor play became an issue. his lawyer now says that was orchestrated by the yankees to make their third baseman appear washed up. the fourth pitch of alex rodriguez's very first at-bat sunday was meant to send a message. players rushed on to the field. and yankees manager joe girardi was ejected. >> we have one player hitting

another player because of what that other player is alleged to have done. >> reporter: for most of the weekend, it was rodriguez's attorney who made headlines. accusing the yankees of covering up the severity of a-rod's hip injury during last year's play offs. he told "the new york times" they rolled him out there like an invalid and make him look like he was finished as a ballplayer. he added yankees president randy levine told rodriguez's surgeon, quote, i don't ever want to see him on the field again. yankees didn't return our calls for comment. he told espn he did agree with the version of events and he would be willing to release phone calls, trancescripts and medical records. alex should put up or shut up he said. casey stern has been following the story. >> do i think he told the surgeon i don't want alex on the field, so, dot, dot, dot i'm telling you with the intent of make sure to put a hole in his leg, make sure to mess up his hip, tweak a couple of things in

the attorney and the surgeon for the story. they either wouldn't comment or didn't respond to our interview requests. >> where's the love? >> where's the love in that organization? >> whenever you hear the word embattled before somebody's name, i always say not a good sign. >> not good. >> to be continued. there are new allegations once again fueling conspiracy theories in the death of princess diana. invest s diana and so they're having to take this allegation seriously. it may be the most investigated car crash in history. but police are looking at it again. the reason?

a letter from a british soldier's family claiming that the british army commando unit was involved in the death. the allegation comes in a letter to the police from the family of a woman involved in a nasty divorce from a soldier, saying he made the claim to the scorned wife. scotland yard issued a statement saying, the metropolitan police service is scoping information that has recently been received in relation to the deaths and assessing its relevance and credibility. the deaths of princess diana and dodi al fayed were investigated in exhausting inquiries at least three times by both british and french authorities. the verdict, they died because their driver was drunk as he tried to speed away from chasing photographers. and diana and dodi weren't wearing seat belts. during the national outpouring of shock and grief that followed, conspiracy theories were as plentiful as tribute flowers. mohamed al fayed, dodi's father.

insisted the couple were killed because the british establishment couldn't accept that diana was going out with a foreigner, let alone a muslim. but there was never any evidence to support that or any other allegation including this latest one. >> this should be kicked into the long grass like every other conspirator conspiratorial. i'm saddened the two princes have to endure another nonsensical allegation. it's sheer nonsense. >> reporter: there's been no comment from princes william or harry. some people are suggesting the fact that scotland yard has commented on these allegations has given them a legitimacy they don't deserve. gayle, charlie? >> thank you. in california this weekend a ground breaking experiment. it could help experts learn to predict earthquakes. crews demolished a 13-story

building at the east bay campus of the california state university. it stood close to one of the most dangerous fault lines in the united states. before the implosion, scientists placed 600 monitoring devices within a mile and a half of the building. cbs news contributor and city of new york physics professor is with us now. good morning. >> morning. >> how did they do this? >> first of all i grew up in california. we know that earthquake prediction is like predicting a baby's bottom. you can't do it. >> that's the way think of it too. >> that's why this experiment is really ground shaking. because it means that we're going to have quote, x-ray vision all right, which we're going to see what's underneath the ground. by putting sensors everywhere we'll be able to analyze waves shock waves, as they go sloshing back and forth in the ground. and then by computers, reconstruct a three-dimensional image of what's underneath your feet. that is ground breaking. >> so therefore, we will know what? >> first of all, we're going to find hidden fault lines that we didn't know about.

let's say you're siting a nuclear power plant. the ground looks solid. you don't know what's underneath. there's no history of earthquakes there. this method will allow us to detect hidden earthquake faults that could be underneath shopping mall or a suburb and housing tract or nuclear power plant. an enormous implication for the construction industry. and, perhaps, one day we can use this as a steppingstone toward earthquake prediction. by getting a map of what's underneath your feet. >> does it worry you, though that it was done so close to the fault line? and what's at stake here? when i heard the location i went ooh. >> california is riddled with earthquake faults. there's a 63% chance of a major earthquake in the next 30 years. so everyone in california grows up knowing that the big one could happen. yet, this is 2,000 feet from an earthquake fault. one of the most active. the hayward fault, by the way, is actually ripping the berkeley football stadium in half slowly as one-half goes north, one-half goes south.

now, it is possible to in some sense induce an earthquake. in china they dammed a river. water went into the ground and actually lubricated the fault lines and set off an earthearthquake. it is possible if you don't know what you're doing you could accidentally set off an earthquake. >> thank you so much. good to see you. >> my pleasure. a u.s. marine is fighting a new battle this morning against an unlikely opponent. he earned a spot on a college football team. but the ncaa wants to keep him on the sidelines. that is next on "cbs this morning." google, what is glossophobia? glossophobia, is the fear of public speaking. ♪ ♪ the only thing we have to fear is... fear itself. ♪

what a way to start college for freshman markus burden. on his very first day at indiana's ball state university burden stepped up and sank a shot from half-court. he got picked at random in the crowd in an event welcoming the freshman class.

the shot won him free tuition for the semester and that's worth more than -- there you go. more than $11,000. david letterman would be proud. >> indeed. a veteran of the united states marines is in a battle with the ncaa. he made his college football team as a freshman. he's being blocked from playing the game he loves. >> reporter: for 24-year-old steven rhodes playing college football was a lifelong dream. this year, rhodes who stands 6'4" and weighs 240 pounds finally had his shot. but just weeks before the season opener, the ncaa told the school that the ex-marine sergeant couldn't play this season because he had played in a recreational league on a military base. on sunday, his coach spoke to school officials. >> in my history, i don't know if i've ever been around a guy that served our country for five years and was not allowed to play. >> reporter: rhodes, who is married with two young children

was accepted as a walk-on by the middle tennessee blue raiders after being discharged in july. >> his experience in the marines, he brings discipline and some toughness to everything that he's done out here in practice. >> reporter: ncaa rumles say that college athletes are to be penalized a season for each year they participate in organized competitions. as rhodes told school officials, the military league he played for was purely recreational. >> it wasn't semi pro. i didn't get paid for it. it was just an intermural league. you know to build camaraderie between troops and conditioning. i didn't figure they would penalize me for that. >> reporter: the school has launched an appeal with the ncaa claiming the rule is poorly worded and fails to protect active service members. in a statement to cbs news an ncaa spokesperson said they have provided an initial review of the case and that a final decision has not yet been made.

for now, the team is practicing without rhodes on the roster. but with the hope that he'll put on the pads before the season kicks off. for "cbs this morning," dallas. >> i'm hoping this might have a better ending. >> i was just going to say. do we dare make a prediction. final decision has not been made. i'm thin good morning, got a few clouds around the bay area this morning. so far it is quiet. but this afternoon could get interesting. possibility of isolated thunderstorms popping up around the bay area. looking back towards san francisco. a little hazy. and dense fog in and along the coastline. low pressure spinning off the coastline. going to sit there the next few days and unsettled with thunderstorms through wednesday. temperatures going to be hot inland. up into the 90s. lions, a lot of people say,

freed in the next 48 hours. the united states has taken steps to cut off some aid to egypt. state department has begun taking steps to withhold economic aid. that's only about $200 million of the $1.5 billion egypt gets annually from the u.s. . there was nothing uncovered in these reports that showed a dibt attempt or knowing attempt to listen in or read anything they weren't entitled to. >> it is smoky in ketchupcechketchum. 3,000 residents evacuated. >> mayor filner supposed to return to work after undergoing two weeks of rehab as he weathers a growing storm of criticism and now a recall drive. it's august so it must be diana conspiracy time. this year's allegation the car crash that killed diana in paris may not have been an accident comes with the added in ingredient of a nasty military divorce. in california this weekend, a ground breaking experiment. it took help experts learn to predict earthquakes. >> we know earthquake prediction

is like predicting a baby's bottom. you just can't do it. captioning funded by cbs i'm charlie rose with gayle king norah o'donnell is o the death toll from a week of violence in egypt is approaching 1,000. the new deadly attack happened in the israel near the border. ambushed and killed 25 police officers. meanwhile a surprising development involving egypt's former president ousted from power two years ago. charlie d'agata is in cairo tahrir square. charlie, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you, gayle and charlie. cairo has been relatively quiet overnight due largely to a huge police and army presence on the ground here and in the streets and a state of emergency that remains in effect including an

overnight curfew. the big breaking news this morning is news that former president hosni mubarak, remember him? has been acquitted of corruption charges. we learned from his lawyer he could be released freed within 48 hours. however, there are also reports prosecutors want to keep him in jail for at least the next 15 days. of course he does face other charges. in terms of violence here the worst of it overnight was in the sinai, the place we have seen trouble before. an attack ambush militant attack on truckloads of policemen. more than 20 policemen died in those attacks. this is an area we've seen attacks like that triple over the past month. another dramatic incident overnight in terms of this ongoing conflict security forces say that 36 muslim brotherhood supporters were killed. they were prisoners they say that were trying to escape.

muslim brotherhood said that wasn't the case. we've seen incidents of men with hands tied behind their backs with a single bullet hole in their head. we'll have to confirm if that is exactly where the accident happened. >> is the impression in egypt that they simply want to decimate the muslim brotherhood? >> they have. not in the graphic ways we've seen where somebody has been shooting unarmed demonstrators and hundreds of people have been killed in that way but also they have rounded up a lot of muslim brotherhood leadership hundreds of them. they did so yesterday. they were expecting a large demonstration in the center of cairo. before that in the predawn raids they arrested a lot of muslim brotherhood. they are considering a proposed ban on the muslim brotherhood outright considering it a terrorist organization. charlie and gayle.

>> charlie, thank you very much. president obama is back at the white house after a week long vacation. the president's critics are calling for a stronger response to the week long violence. >> reporter: president obama has condemned the violence in egypt. for some in congress that is not enough. they are saying the u.s. needs to stop sending egypt more than a billion dollars in aid but that could cause problems here at home. republican senators john mccain and lindsey graham were two of the first to call on president obama to cut off u.s. aid to egypt. >> for us to sit by and watch this happen is a violation of everything that we stood for. >> we're going to have a failed state in egypt and we're go to have to suspend our aid. >> on sunday more members of congress lined up behind them backing a suspension or reevaluation of aid. >> i do not see how we can continue aid. i believe it must be suspended. >> the acts of the last two days by the egyptian military are completely unconscionable.

i do believe we have to change our aid. >> reporter: the united states currently provides $1.5 billion in aid to egypt. $1.3 billion supports the country's military. but a lot of that money comes back to the u.s. thanks to contracts between egypt and dozens of u.s. companies. lockheed martin is building 20 f-16s for the country, a deal worth $2 billion. general dynamics is updating egyptian tanks at a cost of $395 million. a former director at the international monetary fund advised egypt. >> the economic hit of the cutting of the $1.3 billion is going to fall on u.s. companies, and therefore on u.s. jobs, too. >> reporter: a complex relationship leaving some members of congress to urge caution. >> i think there's more opportunity to protect american interest if we work with the military. continue our relationship with

the military. >> reporter: the u.s. started providing aid to egypt back in 1946. the only country to get more money from the u.s. are afghanistan, israel iraq and pakistan. but what we give egypt, well that's just a drop in the bucket compared to what it gets from the gulf states. just two weeks ago kuwait saudi arabia and united arab emirates promised $12 billion to help egypt rebuild. charlie and gayle. >> more firefighters are on the front lines in idaho this morning. that's where flames threatened thousands of homes. the wildfire is burning near the high priced resort towns of ketchum and fun family. john blackstone is in ketchum. john, good morning to you. >> good morning, gayle and charlie. here in ketchum residents have been warned they may have to evacuate at short notice. the wildfire in the mountains around time is just 8% contained. the fire is burning through rugged terrain and dense timber. it's a challenge for more than 1,000 firefighters aided by

national guard units. high temperatures and dry winds are making containment an uphill battle. the goal now is to remove the fuel. crews are clearing the area vegetation that could feed the flames and building fire breaks they hope will stop the blaze. twelve days into this fight the fire surges on. crews must also work to protect house now in its path. the beaver creek fire has scorched just a single home. it's now threatening multi-million dollar houses in the affluent ski resorts of sun valley and here in ketchum. the weather forecast for today is for temperatures in the 90s and wind gusts up to 20 miles an hour. charlie and gayle, it's not going to be an easy day for firefighters here. >> thank you. world track and field championships in moscow ended this weekend with quite a stir. two women from a russian relay team kissed each other and they received their gold medals on saturday. it's apparently their response to russia's new law banning

what's best because my best idea of doing what i think has not worked for me in the past. >> are you an addict. >> yeah. >> and what is it you are addicted to? what is your drug of choice or drugs of choice? >> alcohol. >> alcohol. >> yeah. because that's -- that in the past was a gateway to other things for me. >> other things like -- >> i never abused -- i tried cocaine with alcohol. >> lohan said she was terrified of being judged over her drug use. she says now quote, i feel whole again and i want to stay this way. >> early this month we reported on the bucking bull that no cowboy could ride. this morning someone has. >> looking to do it. can he do it? ♪ ♪ on the day i was born ♪ >> look at this. he's done it. >> he stayed on bushwaker's back

delicate balance between the way the male operates. >> so gayle and norah have claws? >> no. they don't have claws. but there's a lot of discussion. especially about sex. >> we do a lot of that. >> we saw a lot of lion sex. >> they talk a lot about sex, do they? by moaning and -- >> the consort is seven days every seven seconds. >> what surprised you most about all of this? seeing these magnificent an ma'ams animals. >> there's a lot going on. you think about them as a killing machine. there's so much complication. there's so much depth in their social interactions. they're very, very caring with their children. really doting mothers. >> but i'm blown away guys by the pictures that you got. because you were really right up close and personal. i feel like they're looking us dead in the eye. what was that experience like for you? whose idea was the project to do this? >> it was mine for a long long

long time. >> because? >> i've got 30 years in africa. where are you going to finish? you're going to go to lions if you can get there. and the technology kept moving for us so we could use the little robot. that's what broke the barrier. we're literally like this. >> this close. with a robot camera. >> and our car which is open is not much farther away. there are no guns involved. it's all a matter of total focus and trying to read the situation. whenever we did see violence it was so fast and over very quickly. >> what kind of violence did you see? >> inside the pride. because they have to depend on each other. they have to cooperate. i never thought -- that goes back to what i said earlier. i did see the females attack their males on a couple of occasions. >> under what circumstances? >> that was because they weren't being nice to the cubs. and there wasn't enough food to go around. they're like go away. we don't have enough to feed you big guys right now. you got to make sure your -- male lions kill cubs. >> i was going to say, didn't you see lions kill their cubs?

>> why do you do that? >> so you can get the e-mailfemales. the females are what's going to feed you. you come in and kill those cubs. literally the next day they mate with the female whose cub they killed. >> do we consider lions the king of the jungle? i mean the think about them that was great to work with them is that they were very very confident. very very confident. and very secure about their position. you know we were able to work very close to them because they're very confident animals. and we had that -- we had a relationship where we didn't bother them and they didn't bother us. we were able to sort of follow nine months in the field with them and be right there. but they're just very confident animals. >> that was the use of technology allowed us to break some of the barriers. so at night we used lights that

they couldn't see. so the pictures you see at night, their eyes are not closed down. they're these big vam vacuum cleaners. we made sure we never intruded. >> they very much knew that you all were there, didn't they? they very much were aware of your presence weren't they nathan? >> sure, sure. >> how did that work for both of you? >> you know that thing about, you know, like hair will stand up on the back of your neck? >> yes, i do know. >> it's true. it's true. but, i mean, i'm -- like i said we had a relationship. maybe we followed cat etiquette. i don't know. >> what is cat etiquette? >> we just didn't get -- we tried not to get in the way. we were very, very careful not to get in the way. let them do their thing. >> you blink. when they stare at you, you're supposed to blink. some reason that relaxes them. >> that's the drone there that took the pictures? >> that's the little helicopter drone. we didn't actually get a lot out of it. we thought we would. the robot became -- the thing on

the ground was the real payoff. because we would -- we'd drive that into the pride while they're sleeping. then they would just wake up and start licking. they didn't really care about it until it started getting dark. then they're like okay, now we're going to get the thing. >> most people think lions sleep an awful lot. you're saying they do a lot of other things. >> the sleeping is -- is totally about patience and conserving energy. you've got to always have enough energy left to chase that wildebeest. >> you've been doing this how long? >> five years we talked about it. we raised money. we spent a lot more money than a magazine should spend. >> why was it so important to you? >> thank you. thanks for asking that. lions are disappearing. we'd never think of it. who would think lions are disappearing? africans exploding with humans. they're the top predator. and i'm -- this is the hook. we bring you in with the natural history. the story that follows ours is about africans having to live with lions and how complicated

here it is. backup quarterback. chandler. >> before last nigh quarterback chandler harnish smacked her in the side of the head. she was fine. later she got a hug and apology from harnish. the whole time i'm watching that, her hair is in slow motion, at least she looked really good. you can tell it hurt. >> i thought it would have a deeper impact on her. last september a monday night football matchup between the green bay packers and seattle seahawks ended in controversy. a call by replacement referee lance easley changed the game's outcome. it hastened the end of the nfl referee lockout. >> reporter: it was this blown call that forced the nfl back to the bargaining table. a last second hail mary pass ruled a catch for the seattle seahawks' golden tate.

the touchdown gave the seahawks the win as the clock ran out at the end of regulation. the so-called fail mary pass outraged packer fans who pointed to photos that seemed to show the ball in green bay's possession. at the center of the heated debate was replacement referee, lance easley. a banker by day, easley was drafted to officiate the game during the tenth nfl referee lockout. he had previously lyly called games at the high school and junior college level but had no professional experience. the next morning, outrage over the disputed call and lockout was clear. even players took to twitter to criticize the league. easley's missed call was the final straw in a series of blunders made by the replacement referees. the nfl stood by his decision, but moved to get the league's regular refs back tonon the field within the week. >> lance easley has written a new book inspired by the incident. it's called "making the call:

living with your decisions." good morning. you say in your book eight seconds was all it took for your life to go over a cliff in front of 18 million people followed by 15 million opinions most of them not favorable about that call. >> yeah. >> yet you look at the -- i'm sure you've looked a eded at the tape over and over and over again. you still today say? >> i stand by my call. >> why? >> why? based on the rules. one of the problems with that rule is the control in the air. they want to say -- and you want to attribute that there's possession in the air. but there is no possession until they come to the ground and complete the process of the catch. the ball could have come loose any time during that process. if it does it has to be regathered. and when i got over there, both players had simultaneous possession. so one thing if you notice if you look at all the camera angles there's not one from my angle from my hat. nobody sees what i see. so i made the best i could. then it went up to replay. and it takes it from there.

>> lance you can go over this over and over and over again. people will still look at that tape and say, lance easley you were wrong! you write in your book that at one point you were the most cussed, most discussed person on the planet. you told your wife you felt like you had been run over by a truck. i want you to take us in that time for you. that you made the call and what your life was like. you talk about being in a hotel room. not being able to leave. what that felt like for you. because in the beginning you didn't even know there was a problem. >> well, i knew the call when it was made, i started getting phone calls the next morning when i left seattle. but i went to work. i was in business meetings the whole day. i really didn't see what was going on in the media. i didn't know what was going on in the media storm. i was with fellow employees. went back. woke up wednesday morning and started getting texts and phone calls. the nfl office. then where i work. >> people saying to you, you'll get through this. get through what? >> get through what? i didn't know what had happened overnight. then i started seeing the

morning shows. i saw my name. where i lived. my wife is calling me saying hey, the media is here on our lawn. so it became very surreal quickly. i'm a person of faith. i hit my knees. god, i don't know what your plan is in this but i'm here. i'll listen and we'll work through this thing. >> the ceo of the bank where you worked brian moynahan. >> yes. >> what was the worst moment for you in the aftermath of this. >> i'd say the pressure on my family. i promised i wouldn't get emotional. but my wife. i love my wife dearly. and she had to deal with this. and the people around me that really cared a lot about me. when i went back to work seeing the faces of the people that i work with. and they were very concerned. i really wasn't as concerned. i'm a referee. i expect to be hated. i'm a christian. i expect to be hated. i'm a salesman. i've heard the word "no" a million times. >> lance you didn't expect

this. your wife -- your lovely wife is with you today. she says it gave you a chance to reconnect. it changed you, a more compassionate person. a more approachable person. and more concerned about how you treat others, she said. true? >> that's true. instead of feeling all that was coming at me and turning back on it and hating people returning kind for kind. i mentioned in my book about seeing cinderella. the opera with my wife. saying that her sweet revenge was forgiveness. >> lance, thank you so much. "making the call" is on sale now. last week we showed you a ferrari. can you guess how much it sold for? >> nope. >> chances are your number is way too low. your answer is next on "cb
