welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie and norah are off today but anthony mason is here. >> hello, gayle king. >> good to see you. as you wake up in the west, the u.s. is building its case for a military strike against syria. an attack could come within days. u.s. officials plan to release an intelligence report as early as today. ties the syrian government to last week's chemical weapons attacks that killed hundreds. >> now say they need four more days to finish their investigation. holly williams is on the turkey/syria border. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anthony and gayle. we've just been hearing from the united states envoy to syria, who said that evidence suggests a chemical substance did kill hundreds last week, but he warned that any military response should be approved by the u.n. security council. inside syria, u.n. weapons inspectors began their work began today, two days after

their team came under sniper fire. the inspectors convoy headed off to the scene of last week's alleged chemical attack, after security concerns forced them to postpone their investigation yesterday. they're operating in a city that's become a war zone. the suburbs of damascus were pounded again yesterday, as they have been relentlessly in syria's deadly civil war. if the u.s. does launch strikes against the regime, many syrians will welcome in. brigadier general mohammed abud is the leader of the country's armed opposition, the free syria army. he told us he commands 10,000 fighters and believes u.s. strikes will help his side win the war. he said, the opposition has passed on information about possible targets to the u.s. though we don't know how that information is being treated. the u.n. weapons inspectors are still trying to determine for

sure whether chemical weapons were used in last week's attack. they're taking soil and tissue samples from the area that was hit. but more countries have joined the u.s. in saying that it was a chemical strike carried out by the syrian government. american allies, britain, france and turkey all support a military response. even if it's done without the approval of the u.n. supreme court council. with expectations mounting of strikes in israel, people scramble to pick up new gas masks. they're worried the syrian regime might retaliate against israel as iraq did in the first gulf war. in syria's complex conflict, u.s. strikes would anger many countries in this part of the world. including iran, which supports the syrian regime, but also saudi arabia, which backs the syrian opposition. anthony, gayle. >> holly williams, a long the syrian border.

a u.n. resolution condemning syria for last week's attack will be put to the security council later today. yesterday, vice president jill biden became the highest ranking official to accuse syria's government. >> there's no doubt who was responsible for this heinous use of chemical weapons in syria. the syrian regime. for we know that the syrian regime are the only ones who have the weapons. have used chemical weapons multiple times in the past. have the means of delivering those weapons. have been determined to wipe out exactly the places that were attacked by chemical weapons. and instead of allowing u.n. inspectors immediate access, the government has repeatedly shelled the sites of the attack and blocked the investigation

for five days. the president believes, and i believe, that those who use chemical weapons against defensiveless men, women and children, should and must be held accountable. >> major garrett is at the white house this morning. major, what's the latest on the intelligence assessment about the attack? >> reporter: good morning, anthony and gayle. president obama convened for the second time in four days a cabinet level meeting at the white house yesterday to discuss the entire syria issue. a good deal of that conversation was devoted to this key question of the intelligence being gathered to prove what the administration says is an absolutely air-tight case the syrian regime was responsible for this chemical weapons attack. we've learned this declassified report, which could be released tomorrow, will contain some signal intelligence. that is to say phone calls or evidence about the preparations for the attack within the syrian regime and other data collected about how it was carried out and how it was set in motion. that is the kind of evidence the

administration wants to put before the american public and the world to underscore its case to provide more evidence than the circumstantial case that joe biden made in that sound bite we just heard and other administration officials have made this week. >> do you think the u.s. credibility is at stake so now an attack is inevitable? >> nothing is inevitable where military action is concerned. any president or adviser to a president will tell you that. but everything we get here this week suggest this is on a very sustained momentum. the president is building the case not just within congress but also trying to communicate to other world leaders this is a violation of an international norm that has been standing since the early part of the 20th century. it cannot be ignored. and some form of military punishment must be exacted to underscore the international community's revulsion about the use of chemical weapons and to hold the syrian regime accountable. >> several lawmakers have called on obama to get congressional approval before launching an attack. where's the white house standing on dealing with congress and the

u.n. on this? >> two things, anthony. the administration says it will consult with congress but doesn't necessarily need its authorization to carry this out. as far as the united states is concerned, it's a test vote today about condemning the syrian government for the use of chemical weapons. the administration will say, you see, russia vetoed that, stood in the way of that. we can still carry out military action under other parts of international law, specifically the geneva convention. it will be those legal frameworks the administration will turn to if it doesn't believe it can obtain united nations security council approval. a group of hackers supporting the syrian regime says they shut down "the new york times" website. new york times.com went offline and wasn't restored until early this morning. the syrian electronic army says it also disrupted twitter's website. users reported homepages going blank. the cyberattackers got to the times and twitter through an

australian company that registered names of those websites. the market opened flat this morning. the dow fell 170 points in part due to concerns about syria. there are also signs of a new slowdown in the housing market. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is here. good morning. is this a fear factor here? what's going on? >> definitely a fear factor taking place in the last couple of sessions. with syria coming into light. but there is some trends that have been going on since markets reached all-time highs on august 2nd. we know people are worried the federal reserve is going to change interest rate policy and bond buying. coming up in some period of months. maybe it's in september. maybe it's the end of the year. we also know that the debt ceiling debate is heating up again. can you believe it? two years later. i can't stand it. but it's happening. and we know that the treasury secretary jack lew talked about this week. this rattled investors. remember, last time we had a debt ceiling problem, markets were down 17% in the aftermath

of that. so very important here. all this leading up to september. the worst month of the year for trading. stocks usually fall by about half a percent since 1971 on average. now down 4.5%. seems like a bad move over the months. we're still up over 14% so let's not go too crazy. >> there's worry home price growth is also slowing down. how big a deal is that? >> house prices had been rising double digits over the last year. probably not sustainable. big reasons here, mortgage rates up a full point since early may. and also, as the market improves, more people list their homes. inventory increases. yes, we've seen big price increases. that's going to slow down. where we are in the housing market. think about this. we're down about 23% from the peak. we are up 15% or so from the bottom. so progress. but it's okay if it slows down. >> this cooling off actually might be good, better for the economy. you don't want housing to get ahead of itself.

>> that's true. it's really not sustainable to have double digit increases. it's better overall if we have a more moderate pace of increase so more people can get into the market. we don't want one of those runaway markets to take hold again. that's not good for the economy. >> no, it's not. thanks so much. fire crews in california are gaining ground this morning on a giant wildfire at yosemite national park. flames are still spreading fast. the rim fire named for a nearby lookout point called the rim of the world has burned 290 square miles in 11 days. just yesterday, the fire grew by another 40 square miles. it's moving through more territory inside yosemite and continues to change direction. >> reporter: good morning, anthony and gayle. the fire has reached deeper into yosemite for two reasons. one, it's burning in very dry and thick forest. the other, firefighters are still having to focus efforts on

protecting homes outside the park. new numbers reveal that already more than 100 structures have burned. more than 300 camp sites at yosemite are closed because of the smoke and flames of the rim fire. it's pushing into remote areas. leaving the main tourist attractions untouched for now. the fire is erratic. >> when it settles back down on the fire it spreads the fire in different directions. >> reporter: local resident jasper boyd shot these time lapse videos looking toward tuolome city. on the left is duck wall peak. it's the view samantha smith had of the wildfire from her home. when did you know you had to leave? >> we started seeing smoke plumes get closer to the house. and then the back of the mountain went up in flames. >> smith doesn't know if her home is still standing. she fled last week after putting

together a crib for the baby boy she's expecting. >> we just got it set up and he's only due in two months. so not knowing if i'll have his crib or any of the things that he needs is hard. >> reporter: firefighters have been gaining ground in their battle to save these mountain communities. >> it's kind of like a norman rockwell. if you go downtown you see the park and it's just so pleasant. to see all that gone, i think people are really here to fight for this town. >> reporter: 4,500 homes are still threatened by the fast moving flames. also at risk, two groves of giant see kwquoias. these trees are known to have survived ground fires in the past. experts believe the rim fire may be too intense. >> that's where the concern is here, this fire can come in high and hot and do a lot of damage to these trees. >> reporter: the fire has reached the reservoir that provides water to 2.6 million people in san francisco. but so far officials say there

are no signs of contamination from the ashes. air quality, however, is another story. the smoke has triggered health advisories here. and more than 100 miles away in nevada. anthony and gayle. >> thank you. more than 4 1/2 years into barack obama's presidency, race relations in america seem to be on the decline. in a cbs news poll, 57% of people now describe race relations as generally good. in 2009, that number was 66%, nearly 10 points higher. when asked if they've ever felt discriminated against because of race, 62% of blacks said yes, compared to only 29% of whites. we're seeing those poll numbers on the 50th anniversary of the historic march on washington. on this day back in 1963, 250,000 people packed the national mall. as martin luther king jr. and others called for racial and economic justice. later today, president obama will lead the official celebration of today's

anniversary. we're at the lincoln memorial. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. a light rain falling here in washington as the crowd begins to fill in along the national mall next to the reflecting pool. a quarter of a million people watched this speech 50 years ago. they're not expecting anything like that today but big names will be delivering speeches here. the headliner of course the nation's first black president, president obama president obama, delivering a speech, standing where dr. king stood half a century ago. just last week, president obama told a group of college students the legacy of dr. martin luther king jr. lives on. >> we've made enormous strides. i'm a testament to it. you're a testament to it. the diversity of this room. and the students who are here is a testimony to it. >> reporter: the president has walked a fine line addressing the issue of race and equality. trying to voice the concerns of african-americans while attempting to avoid alienating whites. he's been criticized by black leaders for not doing enough to

help his own community. at times, president obama has pushed back. >> i expect all of you to march with me! >> reporter: like in 2011 while speaking to the congressional black caucus. >> put on your marching shoes. shake it off. stop complaining. stop grumbling. stop crying. we are going to press on. >> reporter: in january, he kicked off his second term by calling for an expansion of the civil rights movement to include women, gays and lesbians. >> for our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law. >> reporter: just in the past month, he's been more willing to talk about the state of race relations. his comments about trayvon martin were surprisingly revealing. >> trayvon martin could have been me. 35 years ago. there are very few

african-american men in this country would haven't hho haven experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. that includes me. >> reporter: the president seemed to be managing expectations for this etch spoo, s speech, saying he was still working on it. one that he called one of the five greatest in american history. anthony, gayle. >> thanks, jeff. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. "the wall street journal" says the most recent background check of snowden was inadequate. a profit contractor checked out the nsa leaker two years ago. a government review found the only people interviewed about snowden were his mother and girlfriend. the contractor also failed to verify snowden's work for the cia and didn't look into a trip to india that snowden failed to report. a virus is believed to be killing dolphins along the east coast. bodies have washed ashore since july. officials say there's nothing

a texting and driving accident, they sued the driver who hit them and the girl he was texting at the time of the crash. it sends a message to anyone texting. the appeals court ruled that the teenage girl who texted a friend while he was driving shortly before he crashed, could not be held liable, but the judges on the panel released a statement saying, in part, we conclude that a person sending text messages has a duty not to text someone who is driving if the texter knows or has special reasons to know that the recipient will view the text while driving. last year cbs news spoke to linda and david cooper, the family at the center of the case. >> this is a senseless crash that didn't have to happen. >> reporter: on september 21st, 2009, they were riding their motorcycle down a new jersey road when this chevy truck swerved across lanes and crashed into them head on.

>> what i saw was the gentleman in the truck steering with his elbow with his head down. i could tell he was text messaging. >> i looked down after the impact, and my leg was torn off, and i asked my wife if she was okay, and she told me the bones in her leg were going through her pants. >> reporter: both david and linda lost a leg in the accident. they filed a lawsuit against the driver who hit them and the girlfriend he was texting. >> yeah, i believe that she knew that he was driving and answering her back with texts that, yeah, she's partially responsible too. >> the appellate court said the person sending a text to a driver is electronically present in the car and can be just as distracting as if they were sitting in that car in the passenger seat. >> i think they're certainly trying to send a message. how do you know when you are sending a text that somebody is driving? >> i think that's going to be a big question going forward. how do you prove cases like this. this isn't necessarily a new

law. remember the girl was cleared in the case. the big deal here is what the judges said afterward, and that is you have a responsibility if you are a driver and you know that someone is driving, you should not be texting. >> right. the minute you take that further, you can apply it to people making phone calls to people who are driving. >> anything in the car use aing cell phone. >> terrell brown, thanks. the laguna beach unified school district in southern california announced last night it will revise its lunch menus. it's the latest district to rebell against the federal healthy lunch program. a cornerstone of first lady michelle obama's campaign against childhood obesity. jan crawford is in washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. good morning, gayle. the usda says these are just growing pains, and that's to be expected, but these complaints from school officials just seem to be getting louder, and what they're saying is that kids aren't eating these vegetables and low fat choices, so they actually are ending up too hungry to even learn. they say they're also losing

money for just throwing out all this uneaten food. >> reporter: the new lunch rules in some districts say are just unpalettable. grumblings came from school boards in california to illinois, indiana, and new york. in kentucky one official said students thought the healthy fair tastes like vomit. david h. freeman writes about the obesedy epidemic -- >> any time we try to force people into it, we can expect probably the majority of people to not want to make that leap. >> reporter: under the program, the federal government dictates portions and menus. lunches must include fresh fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. >> reporter: there's a calorie cap that sounds almost like a weight loss program. 850 for high school kids. 700 for middle school, and 650 calories for elementary school. at california's laguna beach unified school district healthy lunches went over like a plate

of cold leftovers. >> it's not the chicken nugget oorz popcorn chicken or the corn dogs, the stuff the kids really like. >> reporter: this year the district will implement monthly taste tests and sell sandwiches to entice students back to the cafeteria. about 100,000 schools have signed up for the program, less than expected, but the usda said there were no widespread problems because most lunches met the healthy guidelines. usda continues to provide additional flexibility and technical assistance to schools as they all now work to offer healthier meals. the agency said. michelle obama remains a big proponent. >> 32 million american children are getting more of the nutrition they need to learn and grow and be successful. and i do hope it's delicious. we're working on that. yes, indeed. >> reporter: despite the opposition friedman says, the program is a step in the right direction, but one that tried to go too far too fast.

>> i think we need to be a little smarter about it and intermittent lane closure the bar and offer people more support so they can make smaller, more gradual steps. the laguna beach school district says it hasn't -- that's something a handful of districts have already done, by the way. a survey by the school nutrition association found about 4% of its members are either going to leave the program this year or are thinking about it. anthony and gayle. >> mystery meat, here we come. apple is well known for going against the grain, but now reports say the tech gianted will do something its committee torz have been doing for years. iphone users will be able to give up their old phones and get credit towards a new one. >> other companies have been doing this for years. this you're going to have to go into an apple store and they'll probably launch those around the end of the month and really ramp

it up around mid-september, and you'll say i want to trade in my iphone and get a new one. he will do some testing on it to make sure it's in working condition, and they'll look up on a list they have and give you a price for it. if you say okay, they'll take your old phone, give you a new phone and give you an apple gift card for whatever that amount is to take off the price of your new phone, and then you walk out of the store. you've already got your new phone. >> that applies for any phone you have? >> iphone. >> any old iphone -- >> the 5s and the 4s. maybe the 3g. >> again, as you point out, some other companies have been doing this for a while. why is apple kind of late to the party here? >> well, i feel like this is the kind of thing where consumers have been able to get a deal for a while if they knew their phones had some value, and i think apple saw that. a lot of people were figuring out that they could resell their old phones, and they don't want other companies controlling this secondary market of i phones. they want to have their hands in it because they're interested this controlling everything about their products. they said we can provide the same service for our customers and keep it in the apple store. thats good. >> is apple offering a better

deal? >> i look at prices on other web sites yesterday. i looked at what people were saying apple was going to be offering, and looks like apple will be offering a little less for the phones. you can probably get $300, a little more from some of the other sites for last year's iphone. i think that apple will probably give you about $250 for that. >> a lot of people don't even buy their iphone at the apple stores, so how big of a deal is it for the apple company? >> that's why they want to get you into that store and keep that retail circuit going because people get their phones through their phone carriers like at&t, verizon or amazon or by going in one of the 50 million cell phone stores we have here in new york. apple would love for you to go into their store and buy their phone. >> your advice is to shop around. >> go to gazelle, amazon, apple, and check out the price for each of them for your phone and go for the one with the next money. >> apple will introduce the next iphone, do you think? >> that's what we think. i think it's going to be a small step compared to last year's pretty big leap with that iphone 5. a better processor, maybe camera improvements. there's been some talk of a less

expensive more plasticy iphone, but we're not sure what the price is going to sit. the nice thing is we're seeing a lot of leaked photos, so there aren't going to be as many surprises. >> all right, dan ackerman, always good to see you. body mass index has long been a standard measure of our health. now, researchers are questioning how accurate and ♪

bmi doesn't look at is the big picture of what affects our weight. for instance it doesn't look at your age. it doesn't look at whether or not you're male or female. and it doesn't look at your muscle mass. so that really makes it inaccurate. i'll give you an example. michael jordan at the height of his career had a bmi of around 28. now that's well into the overweight category, actually even approaching obese. you don't have to be a doctor to look at michael jordan on the chicago bulls court and say he's not obese. but that's an example where he has a lot of muscle mass for his height and, therefore, his bmi isn't accurate. >> i think we're in the same category. >> if you want to know you're getting fat, your clothes are getting tighter, you're getting fatter. do something about it. that's the gayle index. is there a better way to calculate? what should we do? >> using waist circumference instead. abdominal fat is more dangerous than fat in other parts of your body. it's more linked with health risks.

also mri and cat scans can look for visceral fat, dangerous the fat around our organs. cat scans expose to you radiation and mris are both very expensive. those aren't the tests for the future. we are still going to use body mass index but it's important to put it in context, to look at the overall person, what is their muscle mass, how do they eat? are they healthy? are they exercising? and then draw your conclusions from there. the numbers don't tell the whole story. >> there's a number for men and women around your waist. >> that's right. for men, your waist should not be bigger than 40 inwas. for women not bigger than 35. that's really where we start to see it. >> my obesity index is the mirror. >> there we go good morning. headed out the door today, we do have some patchy fog and even some drizzle to begin with. but you know what? by the afternoon, the weather shaping up to be very nice outside. it looks like we're caught in between systems, so near seasonal temperatures out there. and that's going to be the way it's going to be for the next couple of days. 80s inland, 60s and 70s around the bay, about 81 in san jose, and 68 in san francisco.

edelman, founder of childrens defense fund, an activist at the time. spoke to andrew young, former mayor of atlanta and former u.s. ambassador to united nations, and we spoke to julian bond who was a young activist on that day in the crowd singing "we shall overcome" and later went on to become a georgia state legislator. here is a little of what they had to say. >> when the train started unloading from the south and train load from philadelphia and then the movie stars flew in, then i realized this was really something big. >> yeah, you don't have many opportunities in life to come together with folk to say here is who we are, the people, least what we want to be, here is what we can be as a people. >> let me tell you a minute how frightened official washington was of this march, from a book called the bystander by nick bryant. all elective surgery in

after 2:45 eastern time. then a bell will be rung at 3:00, the time he gave that historic address. the bell is so important in this case, it is the bell from the 16th street baptist church in birmingham, alabama, where two weeks after king's speech, the klu klux klan laid a bomb at the church, killing four african-american girls, ages 11 and 14. that was one of the events that propelled the country towards the civil rights act of 1964. all of that being commemorated today, a symbolic victory over racism. gayle? >> i am hearing from very reliable sources oprah winfrey will be involved in the ringing of that bell, scott pelley. what can you tell us to expect from the president's speech tonight. what are you hearing? >> reporter: he was on the tom joyner radio show yesterday. said the first thing i want you

to know about my speech, it is not going to be as good. he said martin luther king's speech was one of the top five american political speeches of all time. i think what the president is going to say today is that enormous progress has been made against racism, particularly with regard to justice and access to voting, but the president will also say that not nearly enough progress has been made in the economic realm. the march on washington was called to march for jobs and equality, and the president is going to say 50 years later, we haven't done enough on jobs. interesting fact, we looked up the evening news research department was telling us about three times more african-americans are living in poverty than white americans and that's the same proportion that existed 50 years ago today. >> certainly more work to do. thank you, scott pelley. scott will anchor cbs news live coverage of the president's speech on the national mall, that's scheduled to start around 11:30, pacific time, and of
