7:02 am
>> operation chicken airlift. more than 1,000 hens loaded on to a private charted flight to the east coast. >> would you ever do shakespeare? >> to be or not to be [ bleep ]. >> and all that matters. >> a just released pew research center poll finds just 29% support a military strike. >> on cbs this morning. >> on the plus side that means 29% of americans know there is a place called syria. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. as you wake up in the west we begin with a showdown. president obama shook hands with russian president putin minutes ago. >> the two leaders are taking
7:03 am
part in the g-20 economic summit but the real talk is for support of a u.s. military strike in syria. major garrett is traveling with the president. >> reporter: good morning, norah and charlie. for the first time since the disagreement over syria between the united states and russia began to attract real global headlines, president and russian president vladimir putin met here at the ceremonial beginning of the g-20 economic summit. it was brief and cordial. meant to paper over the substantive differences the two nations have over syria and what to do in response to a chemical attack. president obama will try to lobby at least 10 maybe more of the g-20 nations. vladimir putin will be doing just the opposite. while lobbying those members he will see in st. petersburg, his administration is coming over scrutiny for its own lack of details about the syrian conflict. hours before air force one touched down here the pentagon had to clarify a statement given
7:04 am
in open testimony to congress by the defense secretary hagel who accused the russian government of providing chemical weapons to the syrian regime. the pentagon later in a statement said what the defense secretary meant to say was russia has a long-standing relationship with syria, providing conventional weapon not chemical. no reaction in washington to that gaffe yet. but putin has accused john kerry, the secretary of state, about the role extremists linked with al qaeda play in syria's opposition. also told congress about 20%, maybe few, of opposition fighters are linked to al qaedabacked groups. putin believe, the number is much larger and says kerry is lying and knows it. all this is creating a very dicey environment and the president and putin at cross purposes about syria in st. petersburg making all of this something to watch.
7:05 am
>> a picture in "the new york times" today shows some of brutal tactics being used by rebels against the opposition. what do you think pictures like this, stories about the rebels actions, do to the administration's push for military strikes and for backing these rebels? >> makes it very complicated, norah and charlie. the administration know that. that's why you see the president constantly talk about military strikes against the syrian regime as being about chemical weapons only. not tipping the balance of the civil war now in its third year in the direction of any kind of opposition forces. the administration knows whatever the number is there are some jihadists and extremists fighting to defeat the assad regime. what the administration would like to do over time is empower and make stronger the moderate opposition forces. it doesn't want to get anywhere near publicly or privately with these jihadist elements but they know they're there and they're trying to keep them and that debate at arm's length. >> major garrett, thank you. back here at hope a senate
7:06 am
panel passed a authorization for military strikes against syria. but the house promises to be a much tougher sell. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. >> reporter: good morning. in fact we're even hearing that the house may not be able to take its vote on the resolution until mid-september because there are so many member ss either on the fence or leaning no. things are going a little more smoothly for the administration in the senate where that successful vote in the foreign relations committee yesterday paves the way for a vote in the full senate as early as the beginning of next week. three republican senators john mccain bob corker and jeff flake join nearly all the democrats on the senate foreign relations committee in a 10-7 vote in favor of striking syria. so long as the president does not put boots on the ground and completes his strikes within 60 days. >> i think we have narrowly defined what this administration and president can do for a purpose that serves beyond our
7:07 am
own peace and security a good for the whole world. >> reporter: critics like texas republican ted cruz argued limited strike amount to a slap on the wrist that would only encourage syria's regime. wouldn't doing nothing encourage them to? >> i believe the u.s. military should be focused on one thing. protecting the vital national security interests of the united states of america. >> reporter: the secretaries of state and defense were asked about the risks of nonaction at a house foreign affairs hearing. >> if we do nothing, what is the likelihood, in your judgment that bashar al assad will use chemical weapons as a routine weapon to turn the tide of this civil war? >> i think the likelyihood is very high he will use them again. >> i agree completely. i might even put it at 100%. >> many lawmakers at the hearing said they were being swamped with calls not to strike syria. >> this represents about 300 e-mails that my office has
7:08 am
gotten and not a one, not a one member in my district in south carolina are the e-mails of people who have contacted my office and say go to syria and fight this regime. to a letter they say no do not go into syria. >> reporter: others argue the nation is duty bound to act regardless of public opinion. >> if we can stand up and say chemical weapons have no place in this world and do something about it got help us if we don't. >> reporter: senator john mccain is back in arizona after voting yes yesterday. he's holding town halls to try to sell intervention to his own constituents. at this point, the secretaries of state and defense are here on the hill. far more than they are at their own department because they are trying to win over skeptical members of congress. >> the intelligence community is warning reprisal attacks if the united states attacks syria. threats include cyberattacks against american companies and government targets. our senior correspondent john miller is a former director.
7:09 am
we heard some concerns about these members of congress about a backlash if america attacks. how do you assess those possibilities? >> that's what the intelligence community's been working on. which is what is the likelihood of retaliation and in what form. parent and part of the calculus is this is an operation against syria for using chemical weapons. if they retaliate against that they're upping the ante. the question is, would it be syria, would they use hezbollah, with iran step in in the shadows or would it just be cyber? >> what are they doing to prepare? >> a number of things. from the fbi standpoint they're going through their cases and saying where do we have suspected syrian intelligence officers? where do we have sources? are we looking at iran cases? are we checking hezbollah files? are we tickling those wires?
7:10 am
that's for situational awareness awareness. >> hasn't this started to occur? a group associated with syria has already hacked "the new york times." they've hacked former presidents e-mail accounts. hasn't this already begun? >> when you look at this as our former fbi cyber expert told us last week that could well just be an exhibition game demonstrating some low-end capabilities on the idea that if we're struck there's going to be more. >> so what's the biggest concern they could do? >> classified aunt classy edied and unclassified warnings went out to corporate partners, to cyber security people saying protect your intellectual property. make sure all of your defenses are up to date. what they've been doing now is denial of service. they flood the website so they can't operate anymore. the real danger would be erasing data. when iran attacked it blew up 85% of its hardware. so these can be very serious.
7:11 am
these guys haven't demonstrated that capability yet. >> the u.s. also preparing an attack using warfare? >> as much if you're going to launch missile strikes on syria, you're going to use your cyber capabilities to disable whatever command and control computers, guidance systems and so on and that's something they've been getting very good at. >> right. >> john, thank you. >> thanks. >> president obama called bill clinton the secretary of explaining stuff. now he's enlisting the former president to explain his signature achievement the health care law. yesterday at his library in arkansas clinton urged opponents of the affordable care act to help improve it. >> we need all hands on deck here. the health of our people. the security and stability of our families. and the strength of our economy are all riding on getting health care reform right. and doing it well.
7:12 am
that means we have to do it together. >> americans who lack health care coverage are supposed to be able to buy insurance through state-run exchanges starting october 1st. a new hampshire hospital says as many as 13 people may have been exposed to a rare and fatal brain disease. the disease may have been passed through surgical equipment used on a patient who may have died from the disease. the equipment was not properly sterilized. officials at catholic medical center in new hampshire say eight patients there could have been exposed. five people treated elsewhere may also be at risk. auto sales are the best they have been in seven years. ford chrysler and gm all posted double digit gains in august. while that's good news for the economy, it's causing headaches for buyer. many dealers are running short on cars. cbs news contributor and analyst melody hobson is with us from los angeles. i have a friend who just tried to go purchase a car and they
7:13 am
were told they had to wait several weeks for it. what's behind this shortage? >> so during the great recession, we postponed any big decision purchase. any expensive purchase. people stopped buying cars. to give you a sense of that in any given year this country sells about 16 million cars. in 2009, that dropped to 10 million. so the auto manufacturers pulled back on their manufacturing. pulled back on their inventory. then the cars on the road got really old. the average car's 11 years old. so people need a car now. and they've gone out as the economy has improved and interest rates are low and they're all going out at the same time. hence the shortage. >> so supply and demand is tighten tightening. does that mean prices are going up? >> yes for sure. don't expect to go to that auto dealer and haggle. because they're in the cat bird seat because there are so few cars. specifically now you're seeing prices really firm up. so aed for fusion for example sells for about $26,000 now.
7:14 am
that's 13% more than the same time last year. during a time when car prices overall are down about 1%. >> mellody what does this resurgence of the auto industry mean for the overall economy? >> it's a very good thing. because of the demand we're going to see a lot of jobs. the expectation is about 35,000 jobs will be added in the auto industry this year. it's a huge industry. representing about 2 million jobs in this country. so this isn't just good for the auto companies, it's not just good for their shareholders it's good for all of us because it shows the economy continues to improve. >> all right. a bright spot this morning. melody, thank you. >> thanks. >> and if it hasn't hit you that summer's almost over it will this weekend. temperatures may plunge below the freezing mark in parts of the northeast. forecasters say the region may be in store for the first frost of the season. can you believe it? a cold front developing in eastern canada could mean lows in the 30s from connecticut to
7:15 am
maine. >> seems like summer was just yesterday. >> i know. >> tropical storm gabriel hitting this morning. it is bringing powerful winds and drenching rain. it is expected to strengthen. david bernard is tracking the storm in miami. david, good morning. >> good morning, charlie, gabriel doing a number on puerto rico and the virgin islands. the latest information from the hurricane center. it's right off the southwest coast of puerto rico. moving to the northwest at 8. so not moving very fast. that means rain is going to be the big problem with this storm. our future track shows it moving slowly to the northwest through tonight into tomorrow morning and early saturday. it should be just east of turks and keikocaicos and north of the dominican republic. then we expect a shift out to sea, maybe threatening bermuda early next week. but not affecting the east coast. the higher elevations could see
7:16 am
mudslides. rainfall 3 to 6 inches. locally, as much as 10 inches in spots. parts of eastern dominican republic could also see some of that flooding as well. charlie and norah, back to you. new york city mayoral candidate anthony weiner had a meltdown on the campaign trail during an argument with a heckler. weiner facing backlash from his scandal went to a brooklyn bakery yesterday. a jewish voter commented about his wife and her ethnicity. >> you're a real scumbag. >> very nice, very nice. charming guy right here. that's very nice. in front of children use that language. that is charming. >> you're disgusting. >> takes one to know one, jack ass. what's that what's that? what's that? i walk off, you say that. that's courage.
7:17 am
>> we'll have the discussion. come back in here. i'm not afraid of you. >> you do this in front of kids. >> oh yeah and you're a perfect person? you're my judge? what rabbi taught you that? what rabbi taught you that you're my judge? >> you're fine talk to god and work out your problems. stay out of the public eye. >> that's not up to you to judge, my friend. >> you're a bad example for the people. that's obvious. >> okay that's not why we have elections -- >> your behavior -- >> and you're perfect, you're going to judge me? >> no i'm not running for office. >> you know who judges me? go visit with your rabbi. go visit with your rabbi. shows you how much you know. >> think about your wife? >> how could you take the first -- >> by the way that is between me, her and my god -- >> -- and betray her, think about that -- >> that is not up to you. >> wooener is fourth in the race for mayor. >> democracy in action or something. >> yes. what did he have in his mouth?
7:18 am

7:35 am
>> dr. charlie agus charlie loves this story and i do too. should seniors be playing video games. >> well, not yet. i think part of the message of the study is video games are very powerful and this was one specifically designed by neurologists for one function. going forward we have to study how video games affect the brain. it's actually going through the fda to try to get approval for people with adhd attention deficit disorder as well as cogny tiff decline in people over the age of 60. >> this is with identify

7:46 am
there's a constant monitoring and fear of being fired. >> it's not either/or. clearly there's fear and fear is a powerful motivator, but it's not pampering. it's offering incentives and it's offering -- trying to find the best richardson that you can make people be passionate about what they're doing and be motivated to do it. >> i think that's the way they work toechlkt work isn't a monocytic thing and it's a procedure by which you create a process and it's possible the perks and pampering can help with the creative process but the monitoring and judgment by your bosses helps the procedureal process. >> when you say punishment what do you mean by that? >> one way to think of that with workers it's not what you expect. it's what you inspect. when you monitor workers, they feel watched and they feel there's a possibility if they do something wrong there will be consequences so really the part

of this is the idea of consequences. >> you talk with a lot of entrepreneurs. you have to measure what your employees are doing. can i just ask you finally, there's a new study. i noticed it. it's in "the wall street journal" today that says parents who yell at their add less end children for misbehaving can cause some of the same problems as hitting them including increased risk of depression and aggressive behavior. >> right. yelling can be just as bad as hitting. here what you're looking at is the last quote of the article. it reduces their feeling of worth. feeling valued feeling watched, and feel like they're a part of the company. the perks make you feel like the boss cares about your emotional welt being, the monitoring makes just a few patches of fog to start out the day a lot of sunshine coming in our direction, temperatures really going to be heating up the next couple of days. san jose you have that patchy fog in the distance, delays at sfo of arriving flights of almost an hour. looks like one more day of fairly mild weather with that

8:01 am
disagreement overseer ya president obama and president flat mere putin met here. the house may not be able to take its vote until mid-september. >> the community is warning of reprisal attack if the united states strikes syria. >> this is a pin ishpunishment operation against them. >> gabrielle doing a number against puerto rico and the virgin islands. >> don't expect to go and tag a car. you are seeing prices firm up. a would-be robber pulled a gun. the man behind the counter quickly turned the table. >> it is surprising our boss wanted to do this story. punishment can be just as productive as pampering. >> i want to be careful what i see. >> anthony weiner had a meltdown on the campaign trail. >> what's up? what's up?
8:02 am
what you wait until you walk out to say anything. >> what did he have in his mouth? >> his foot, maybe. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. president obama is in st. petersburg, russia. it is there he shook hands with vladimir putin. this rng month, the two are at odds over the potential military strike overseer ya. >> putin calls the charges that syria used chemical weapons on civilians absurd. major garrett is traveling with the president and joins us with the latest. good morning, gayle, charlie and norah. president obama and president putin will do whatever world leaders do when there is a huge agreement and everyone is watching. they will circle each other and pursue their agendas on their term. for the most part, their agendas for the global economic summit almost entirely with syria.
8:03 am
president obama will try to enlift more nations here at least rhetorically. putin will do the opposite questioning the evidence the united states has presented linking the syrian regime with chemical weapons attacks and say there should be no international support for military strikes outside of the united nations. these two leaders will not meet formally but they will eye each other at this conference today and tomorrow. one other note. the president tomorrow will introduce another element of friction into the already fraccious relationship with the russians by meeting with gay and lesbian leaders here. recently putin outlawed so-called gay propaganda. that's a move president obama has criticized. >> thank you. back in this country, the full senate is expected to vote on military action next week. the white house faces stiff opposition. nancy cordes is on capitol hill.
8:04 am
>> at this point, the secretaries of state and defense are spending more time here on capitol hill than they are at their own departments. they are trying to combat all the misgiveings that members of congress raise at these briefings and by far the tenses moment came yesterday at the house foreign affairs committee where south carolina republican jeff duncan, argued that kerry is more eager to launch strikes against another nation than he was when he was senator. >> is the power of the executive branch so intoxicating that you would abandon past caution in favor of pulling the trigger on a military response so quickly? i have sympathy for the people in syria. i do think there should be a worldwide response but we should act cautiously. >> we are acting cautiously. we are acting so cautiously that the president of the united states was accused of not acting because he wanted to have sufficient evidence and he wanted to build the case properly. >> it has been 15 days. >> congressman --
8:05 am
>> duncan also held up a stack of letters and e-mails that he said came from constituents who to a letter were calling on him to vote against striking syria and that's why, charlie and gayle, we are now hearing that the house may not be able to vote on this resolution until mid-september. so many members say they are feeling the pressure to vote no. >> tharngnk you nancy. after nearly 12 years of heightened airport security relief may be here. it could mean keeping your shoes on and your laptop inside your luggage. john millers back with us. >> tsa is expanding the pre-check program. they want to go to the 40 existing airports to 6 or more bringing it to 100. 15 million passengers are members and have enjoyed the benefits. >> isn't this a no-brainer? >> it is and it isn't. some would argue we are about to launch an attack on syria. this is a time of heightened
8:06 am
security. why would you lower the bar on airport security where that is continued to be the place where terrorists have targeted. tsa doesn't look at it that way. >> how do they look at it? >> this is strange to say they are increasing security. they say using this assembly line approach where you treat everybody the same. you take a passenger, who is traveling 52 times a year. are you going to put them through the same paces as someone else. what they do is they are increasing the behavioral detection officers, the use of dogs, the use of intelligence the use of data from the ticketing system to see, who do we need to look at twice? >> are they looking for behavioral markers? >> i got stopped the other day. they said it was a random screening. i was pulled out of line. i said why did you pick me? >> there is a lot of suspicious stuff about you? >> i was wondering.
8:07 am
>> part of it is random. even if you are in tsa-free, every fourth time you are not going to go through it. they don't want people to say if i'm a terrorist and i am just in pre, i know it will work. they work it around that way. they use detection offensers and vapor dogs that are smelling and they try to make it as unpredictable as possible. >> how do you become part of tsa pre-check? you guys are laughing but most people at homer like what are you talking about? >> i thought you didn't have it. >> i actually don't have it. i don't have it. >> i travel all the time and i don't either. they take people out of line and put them in prooe if the behavioral detection officers and others say, the lines are backing up we can move more people through faster here and i have been watching this group and they are all okay. you have to go through an application process. it helps if you are in an

strong sense of smell. now, university of pennsylvania researchers are putting it to the test. dr. cindy otto is directory of the veterinarian school. >> we are trying to train the dogs to identify samples from women with ovarian cancer. >> do ovarian cancer cells smell differently than normal ovarian cells? >> yes. based on the litter yur, we know dogs will identify the cancer cells but not normal ovarian tissue. >> the team is using tissue and blood samples from patients. the dogs are taught to sniff through a series of containers until they recognize the cancer's chemical marker. they sit down to signal they found it. >> that was really perfect. >> a smaller study found dogs could do this with 90% accuracy. >> that was good. >> how did you choose ovarian cancer as opposed to other forms of cancer to start training the dogs? >> there is a couple of reasons.
8:17 am
one, because it is such a devastating cancer that's caught late. if we can develop a screening technique to catch this early, then that will save lives. >> ovarian cancer is common with more than 20,000 american women diagnosed each year. but, because there is no standard screening test 70% are diagnosed late. as a result women like ann marie hanley are much less likely to survive. she donated tissue. >> i got to the point i couldn't handle eating any type of food. i couldn't walk upstairs. i am still being looked at where no one knew what was going on. >> the hope is through early detection, the studies will save lives. that doesn't mean putting a dog in every doctor's office. >> the idea is to develop a simple saliva or urine test done by machine that will become part of regular treatment. >> we hoped it would be integrated to every woman's care in the not too distant future.
