[ laughter ] >> oh, oh, no. welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie and norah are off. anthony mason is here.

anthony, good morning. >> good morning, gayle. >> things getting very dicey, a serious situation. if president obama decides to attack syria for allegedly using chemical weapons, he will have to do it without america's closest ally. last night britain's closest parliament said no to military action. >> this morning, u.n. inspectors inside syria are finishing their investigation into last week's attack that killed hundreds. elizabeth palmer has made her way into syria. we also have mark phillips in london and major garrett in washington. but we begin with elizabeth in damascus who went out this morning with those u.n. inspectors. elizabeth. >> they left the hotel and made a couple ss actually. it looked as if they wanted to go back ton the suburbs they visited earlier in the week the site of wednesday's attack but turned back. maybe because there was heavy shelling. i can hear the artillery now as i sit in the studio. it's been going on all morning. so instead, we followed them to

the military hospital where they were going to talk to six soldiers also allegedly suffering from the effects of chemical poisoning or some sort of toxin. maybe soldiers who were on the road blocks around those suburbs that were hit last wednesday or perhaps soldiers who were part of a team. the government discovered a large stock of chemical weapons belonging to the opposition in a tunnel. we won't know that till the inspectors report. this is their last day. they'll be out of here by tomorrow. and the secretary-general has said there will be a preliminary report soon. but a really specific one. one that examines any traces of chemicals they found for markers that might even tell us who made them. that could take days or even weeks. now, i should tell you, i've been coming to damascus a long time. and in the last year as the violence escalated, people got used to an awful lot. the shelling i was talking

about. mortars falling here and there. car bombs. but there's never been trepidation like there is right now. there are two new huge threats as far as these things are concerned. one of course is another chemical attack. everybody feels vulnerable. vulnerable to changes in the wind. and secondly of course the threat of american strikes. nobody knows where the missiles might fall. so this is a very very tense place this morning. anthony and gayle. >> i can see that elizabeth palmer thank you. britain's prime minister says his country will not join any attack on syria. after parliament rejected any military action by a very narrow margin. mark phillips is in london outside the houses of parliament. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gayle, good morning, anthony. this defeat was a shock and it was damaging. damaging for the government here of course. but also damaging to u.s. hopes of putting together a broader coalition for any possible attack on syria. he had put his prestige and

authority on the line and he had lost. and david cameron had to admit defeat and to consequences. >> it is clear to me that british parliament reflecting the views of the british people did not want to see british military action. i get that and the government will act accordingly. >> reporter: the british government, like the u.s. administration, was outraged by the apparent chemical attack on civilians in syria last week. cameron had already watered down what he wanted from parliament. promising another yea or nay vote on military action after u.n. inspectors in damascus present their report. but having failed to deliver support, today he said he doesn't feel the need to apologize to president obama. >> i haven't spoken to him since the debate on vote but i'd expect to speak to him over the next day or so. i don't think it's a question of having to apologize. >> reporter: the opposition and many in cameron's own party argued it would be wiser to wait

for more evidence and a wider international consensus. >> -- surely a basic point, evidence should proceed decision, not decision proceed evidence. >> reporter: this was a vote on possible action on syria, but it was also about the legacy of is iraq. many in britain feel they were lied to by then prime minister tony blair about the weapons of mass destruction it turned out saddam did not have. there is no appetite here for hasty entry into another middle east conflict. no matter how limited the government promises it will be. well, the british may be out but the french apparently are still in. the president hollande in paris today said the french are ready to take what he called firm punitive action against syria and all options, including military, are still on the table. >> mark phillips in london. white house officials say president obama is prepared to attack syria without other

countries. the president is also facing calls from congress this morning to bring the issue to a vote on capitol hill. major garrett is in washington where he'll guest host "face the nation" on sunday. the report released today, what will it say? >> reporter: it will not have as much information as the administration shared with members of congress because it's a declassified document but the administration says it will pill forward as much of the circumstantial case the administration has been able to combine and the evidence from the ground that they believe syria is responsible for this chemical attack and it is something that requires a military response. if the united states cannot find coalition partners it will be carried out by the united states. although there's effort to build some coalition and some of the comments by the french this morning are welcomed by the white house because at least it

give gives some hope they will buy into the coalition. >> where does that leave the administration? >> the administration had begun to pick up even yesterday afternoon, cameron was in trouble. they had no idea he was in that much trouble and could lose this early test vote before the parliament. having to see cameron do the only thing that was possible politically in britain which is to say, you said no and we're not going to participate. what the white house will say is there's a rhetorical coalition in support of the president that is pretty broad. what the president may not have is an effectively operational coalition of other military partners. the french government has even put some conditions on its participation. so building that operational coalition is the next huge challenge for the president if he decides to go ahead. >> major, the white house spoke to congressional leaders by phone last night. what is the risk to the white house for the president, if he goes ahead with this without getting congressional approval? >> that this blows up in this huge congressional opposition that mounts over time and the

president has nowhere to look when things get dicey, in in fact, they do. the white house believes it's not going to happen. if the military strike is ordered, many have said it will be targeted and congress will see results over time. but many in congress have said look, this is something the public should debate and we ought to have a vote on so everyone at least has a voice and potential buy-in. one member of congress california's buck mckeon, who's a prominent voice on defense policy in the house republican conference, said if the president does not take action now, after making these statements, then he will become then we become the united states does a paper tiger to the rest of the world. this is some of the pressure the white house is under where his meth thol did i of dealodology methodology, as the time approaches. >> his guests on sunday mccain, chambliss and tim kaine, sunday

on cbs. the white house"the washington post" is reporting on documents obtained by nsa leaker snowden. they reveal a massive $52 billion so-called black budget for the current fiscal year. >> they show how the u.s. used every tool of surveillance to find osama bin laden. in the months before the raid satellites gathered more than 387 images of the compound and an advanced stealth drone flew over pakistan to eavesdrop on communications and a special nsa team gathered intel from mobile phones used by al qaeda operatives. senior correspondent john miller is a former deputy director of national intelligence. good morning. >> good morning. >> did anything in these documents surprise you? >> well, i mean i've seen these budget documents before when i was working in that field, so nothing jumped off the page. although it surprised me they were out. >> what was most damaging? >> i think you take in totality.

first, you have to ask, what is this document. it's a budget document. you imagine some very boring excel spreadsheet with a lot of numbers on it. but it's more than that. this is the american intelligent community playbook. what every program is called. what exactly it's for. how much they spend on it. if you turn it inside out and hand it to an adversary, basically it allows foreign adversaries, counterintelligence services and so on to program against you. line by line. >> so there's -- valuable information here for our adversaries? >> this is the kind of information that foreign governments, like russia and china and others in this -- and today, iran and you can name the list would pay people like turncoat fbi agent robert hanson or a cia spy hundreds of thousands of dollars to steal just a piece of this. now, "the washington post," to its own credit said we consulted with the u.s. government officials, they asked us to leave out a lot. we agreed to leave out some. other stuff we printed.

but you got to remember that's not the way a spy service looks at it. they say where is this document coming from where did it go let's hack into "the washington post," let's hack into this reporter, let's got the other -- let's get the receiptst of the document. let's hack into wikileaks. remember snowden has already carted this material on electric media through hong kong and russia so there's some question as to whether they don't already still have all this stuff. >> all right, john miller thank you. the justice department has announced historic new revelations giving states the power to regulate marijuana use. the changes affect 20 states with medical marijuana laws on the books. plus washington, d.c. and two other states that allow wreck reere rerecreational pot use. the new rules roll back 70 years of federal policy. >> reporter: since voting to permit recreational use of marijuana last year citizens in washington and colorado have been under a cloud of legal confusion. the two states called this

activity legal. the federal government says it's illegal. now the justice department is trying to clear the air. the department will no longer prosecute, as long as states follow eight strict guidelines. including preventing marijuana distribution to minors. preventing revenue from going to gangs and cartels. preventing trafficking across state lines. >> owners in colorado and marijuana consumers can sleep a little easier tonight. >> i think this is a very carefully calibrated and very commonsense approach by the federal government to really respect something that has been successful for many years in our country, which is to allow states to be the laboratories of democracy. >> reporter: in addition to washington and colorado's experiment with recreational marijuana, 20 states in the district of colombia now allow the medical use of the drug. the justice department is not giving states free rein it's just loosening the reins a bit.

>> in 2009, they released a similar memo saying they would respect state medical marijuana laws. unfortunately, since that time the obama administration has overseen the closure of more state legal medical marijuana businesses than were closed during two terms of the bush administration. >> reporter: still supporters of legalization say this could set the stage for more states to legalize marijuana. for cbs this morning, bill whitaker, los angeles. thousands of fast food workers walked off the job yesterday. in the biggest protest yet over low wages. in oakland, nearly 80 employees from various outlets rallied outside a kfc restaurant. they demanded minimum pay of $15 an hour. walkouts and demonstrations were held. fast food chains say higher pay will lead to fewer jobs. the national football league has agreed to pay $765 million to settle lawsuits over concussions. the settlement affects thousands

of former play erers who have brain diseases related to head injuries on the field. special correspondent james brown is with us. he anchors "the nfl today" for cbs sports. good morning. >> good morning, anthony and gayle. >> to start, the nfl needed a deal like this to get this out of the way, didn't they? >> anthony, no question about it. it was a major black mark on the nfl. in that this conversation was on the national table, if you will. so now this eliminates it with the season less than a week away. number two it also now has some specificity to it. as opposed to the owners going into this, not knowing what was going to have to be paid out. clearly, any time you talk litigation litigation, you're talking costly, time consumering and not a public relations good thing. >> do you think this will affect how the game is played? what's in it for the players? >> in terms of what's in it for the players, according to hall of fame running back eric dickerson with whom i talked yesterday, it is at least a step

in the right direction. many people say it's chump change when you look at what the nfl brings in annually. $9.5 billion a year. this represents about a tenth of that. so it is in that perspective chumpb change. but for those ex-players who are living daily with debilitating diseases and the like it is at least a step in the right direction. eric dickerson talks about how many people may not feel badly for him but for a year and a half after he stopped playing, he had to sleep in a chair because of neck issues. now he's dealing with memory loss issues. it is at leetch a step in the right direction. a '09 report said some 78% of players within two years of leaving the league are facing bankruptcy. so this is at least a start. >> jamie, i have to say, given there are thousands of players who are suffering, it does look like the nfl got off cheap here. what are they doing to reduce the risk? i know they've placed limits in terms of tackling. now the players are complaining

because they're worried their knees may actually get knocked out and it might ruin their careers. how many do you prevent these kinds of injuries given the way this sport is built? >> anthony, very good question. the bottom line is player safety is the focus. i think this is going to be reviewed. many players will tell you, look, hit me up high leave my knees alone because those could be potentially career ending kinds tackles. in terms of players safety this year, a running back who has the ball and he sees he's about to be tackled cannot lower his head and use the crown of his helmet as a spear to go into another player's sternum. these rules will be enforced vigorously and have substantial penalties associated with it as well. >> james brown, thanks. disgraced san diego mayor bob filner leaves office today. stepping down less than nine months into his four-year term after 18 women accused him of sexual harassment. the 70-year-old democrat faces a lawsuit from one of his alleged victims. filner insists he is innocent. time to show you this

san jose. police say two early morning officer-involved shooting > good morning. i'm frank mallicoat. we are following breaking news out of san jose. police say two early-morning officer-involved shootings are not related. the first happened around 1 a.m. during a failed traffic stop at king road and alum rock avenue. the second took place just before 5 a.m. at the safeway an san carlos. no officer was injured. the bay bridge will open on time tuesday morning. we are taking a live look at the friday morning commute at 238 in castro valley. things are smooth. more traffic and weather for the big holiday weekend coming up right after the break.

slowing on westbound 92 on the flat section. bridge. it's crowded right past the pay gates and even before them on the southbound 880 approach. we have some jamups from at least 238. but those are growing, as well. richmond/san rafael bridge pretty backed up approaching the richmond/san rafael bridge toll plaza all the way towards midspan. golden gate bridge looks good so does the southbound 101 approach from novato. that is traffic. for your latest forecast, here's lawrence. >> foggy toward the golden gate sunshine elsewhere around the bay area now but i think as we head toward the afternoon going to see a whole lot of sun. waking up to what looks like a beautiful friday ahead as the patchy fog going to give way to sunshine and some warmer temperatures. plan on some 90s in the valleys today. 70s and 80s around the bay and 60s coastside. toward the holiday weekend the clouds move in and the temperatures cooling down.

>> at 10:55, going northbound in the south bound lane. >> the cameras were rolling in maryland during this traffic stop gone bad. more than 400 police departments are armed with the equipment. worn on officers in the field, it's designed to be the eyes and ears during police encounters like this one in arizona. >> what is it? what is it? [ shooting ] in california an hour outside los angeles, a pilot program found the number of use of force incidents decreased by more than half. earlier this month, a federal judge ordered new york city's police department to begin testing the devices after ruling that its stop question and frisk policy was unconstitutional. but mayor bloomberg vowed to appeal the decision and said the cameras aren't the answer. >> that camera on the lapel or

the hat of the police officer, turned the right way or didn't turn it the right way, it is a solution that is not a solution to the problem. >> reporter: while the equipment has its critics -- >> come on put the knife down for us. >> reporter: supporters insist it helps keep often sersficers and the public safe. >> the founder and ceo of taser international. good morning to you both. we clearly see the camera on your collar. how does it work? >> the idea is to bring a new level of transparency to policing by bringing video report back of what officers encounter in the field. so they basically wear this camera. they start it by double clicking a button when they go on a call. when they're done they turn it off and prepare for the neck call next call. we now have a record rather than a he said/she said. >> they have the ability to turn

it on and off when they went to. >> they have to have that because you imagine they need bathroom breaks and personal breaks, so we have to balance the rights of the officer as a human being who is working all day also with the rights of the community. most agencies just have a policy that they start recording any time they're distributed or they're dispatched on a call. >> we heard the mayor of new york react not positively to this development. how are police officers reacting to it? >> this is a mixed bag. you take a place like rialto where they see their number of complaints go down that's a pretty positive effect on the department. but you take other issues. in los angeles, they have dash board cams in the cars. one of the things they do is audits on the cameras. they found officers breaking the rules and they've written them up for this on a random check of the car and the camera in the car. so police feel now my police car has become my enemy, spying on me. there's going to be a natural

suspicion here. and a period of adjustment. >> how is it transparency if they can turn it on and off if they want to? >> it's not when they want to it's policy driven. the officers are instrukted any time you go on a call that you turn the camera on. agencies like ft. worth have actually saw some of these other policy issues. saying, you know we understand in police work you're dealing with difficult situations so strong language and those things there won't be disciplinary action. the point of the cameras is to make it something that protects the officer. and the community. the people in the community feel better when they know it is going to be recorded the cops are going to be professional. >> you worked in police departments. how do you feel about this? my gut says any transparency is ultimately a better thing. >> i think, as rick said there's got to be a reasonable solution to this which is the officer needs to have some control over the camera. i can tell you straight up from my experience in los angeles if somebody approaches an officer to whisper, the guy behind this

driveby shooting is joey from the corner if he knows that officer is rolling a camera that information is not going to get there. the officer has to be able to take that off, or at least say to somebody i'm turning this off, to have conversations and confidentiality. there's got doing to be some control. i think on the whole, i think people found the cameras that officers were initially reluctant to use got them out of trouble. remember, every citizen on the street is taping their actions with a cell phone. a lot of cops say, i want my own version of this movie. >> john mill rick smith, thank you. >> before we go do people tell you, you look like mr. big? gosh, he looks like that guy. thank you, rick. silicon valley is being rocked by a reported love affair. the marriage said to be on the

rocks following an office romance. that's according to an influential website. many wonder what this story means for google's bottom line. >> reporter: as power couples go google co-founder sergey brin and his wife anne wojcicki were about as powerful as they come. together, worth billions. their companies have a strong working relationship. so, when a respected blog all things "d," brock",," broke the news that the couple may be separating it sent the tech world rushing to the water cooler. >> people everywhere in silicon valley are talking about this unusual sex story. it's gossip. but about one of the most important companies of the world. >> reporter: it reads like a summer beach novel which is perhaps why no one, google included, is commenting for the record. the story goes like this. brin and his wife are now living apart.

brin had taken up with a young google employee. identified by some as 26-year-old amanda rosenberg who the report says had already had a fling with someone else at google. to complicate matters, the sister of brin's wife who actually let brin start going until her garage she's also now a top executive at google. awkward to say the least. while the tantalizing details sent whispers around silicon valley that the tangled web may snare google's interests as well whispers soon gave way to reality. >> although brin is one of the largest shareholders there's a prenup in place we understand. therefore, no expectation that he has to sell a lot of stock and lose control of the company. >> reporter: add to that that brin is no longer google's ceo and it lessens potential business impact even more. still, the news hardly squares with the company's image of being progressive and forward thinking. >> it's fair to say this is a

company that put morality sort of foot forward. and it's sad to see the highest of aspirations fall to the most basic of human needs. >> reporter: the story of personal failings amid so many business successes. for "cbs this morning," i'm lee cowan in los angeles. >> i think lee said it best sounds like a good beach read. office roens mas sens romances can be very awkward. >> if you have google stock, you might be nervous. the tylenol people are telling us pay attention to their new label. it could save your life. that's next on "cbs this morning."

millions of people every year take over-the-counter drugs that contain acetaminophen and hundreds die from overdoses. the maker of tylenol is now putting a new warning on its cap. it says contains aseetcetaminophenacetaminophen, also read the label. holly williams is with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> why are they making this clear? >> it's linked with liver failure and overdose. now, this is not a new discovery. we've known that this has been a possible risk forever and in fact this warning is already on the bottle but in those teeny tiny letters, take a magnifying glass to see it. this warning will be big and bold and catch your attention. >> how many pills do i have to

take before it causes a problem? >> general tylenol is safe 3,000 milligrams six a day spread. not at once once. we run into an overdose in one of three scenarios, first when you mix tylenol with alcohol. that's the biggest issue. your alcohol is cleared through the liver and also your tylenol. also mixing tylenol containing products. tylenol and sue fed and perk saenltd vicodin, you can get much more than intended. also half of all the tylenol overdose deaths are intentional where people have taken too many pills in an effort to harm themselves. >> how common is liver damage from tylenol? >> in all fairness really rare.

we only see liver damage in a fraction of a percent but that's still too many when you consider it's completely avoiceable. >> do you think now it will be closely regulated? >> that's one of the things the fb fda. should we look at the amount in the bottle or get rid of extra strength? i don't see any of that happens. >> you scare me with the tylenol and nyquil. i've definitely done that. that's something we should not do. >> exactly. that's going to come in on top of your tylenol and nyquil so hopefully this will help. >> starting out with some patchy fog around the bay area a little sunshine too already over coit tower looking good there. we have had some drizzle out toward the coastline. looks like it's going to be a great day ahead, though, as we're going to see a whole plot -- whole lot of sunshine coming our way and some warmer

career marine. so when all this happened it was like my life went upside down. >> what happened to dustin dash is that he was struck twice by improvised explosive devices while on duty in afghanistan. >> reporter: what happened to you with the ied explosions? >> the result of them were i got some ptsd and a mild traumatic brain injury from them. i still to this day wish i could still be in the marine corps but i know that god has led me some place else. >> reporter: to move forward as a civilian, dustin decided to step back. he reconsidered a career path he was on years ago. >> i cooked from about 16 on. i actually almost went into the marine corps as a cook. >> makes everything better. >> reporter: this summer he joined a group of service men and women in the culinary command, an organization that trains military personnel for a career in fine dining.

>> i kept thinking you know, it is funny, there are so many parallels between the professional kitchen and a military life. we thought maybe those skills would be attributable to veterans that were returning. >> reporter: chef david james robinson started the culinary command two years ago. his home in the pastoral countryside of up-state new york providing welcome retreat and valuable resource for returning vets. >> it is about instilling hope. we work 12-14-hour days. it is really exhausting. we want to replicate the conditions of a professional kitchen and what they might encounter running their own businesses or working for someone else. >> reporter: the six-week program culminating with an 11-course graduation dinner is not associated with any branch of the military. it takes no tax dollars and relies solely on private donors. >> reporter: what moved you about the plight of america's
