west virginia. the chemical leak from the storage tank into a river in charleston. authorities don't know how much of the chemical made it into the water supply. i am a very sad person a person close to me who i counted on and trusted for five years betrayed me. >> christie fired his top aide who he says lied to him about her role to cripple lanes at the george washington bridge. >> the fbi is now looking into what happened to see if federal law was violated. >> do you think i'm suggested any traffic any time soon you've got to be kidding me. >> target revealed that 70 million people may have had their information stolen in that data breach. >> another major embear asment. two officers in charge of missile launches are being investigated. parts of south florida waking up to serious damage this morning after heavy rain and even a possible tornado. even as much as 12 inches of rain has fallen in the region. >> a wild shooting scene in a

san diego neighborhood caught on video. a new report shows for the first time more than half of current members of congress are millionaires. >> all that on. >> beth hathaway in hawaii got caught in a rip tide. >> according to tmz, hathaway was rescued by a local surfer. >> grown men being scared. by their own mascot. >> and all that matters. >> see the trees going down behind me? this is absolutely incredible. >> the polar vortex is headed up north to canada. >> finally payback for giving us justin bieber on cbs this morning. captioning funded by cbs i was blind sided and got a call from my communications. >> he would have been on the roof it would have been more believable. >> this is brought to you by toyota. let's go places.

welcome to "cbs this morning," gayle king is off. good morning,. >> good morning to you, charlie. >> more internal documents are said to be released today in new jersey's traffic jam scandal. governor chris christie apologized yesterday for what he called callous and stupid behavior by members of his inner circle. >> they allegedly caused chaos to the major onramp on the world's busiest bridge and now fbi's helping new jersey find out if any federal laws were broken. elaine quijano is live. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and nora and to the viewers out west. a democrat who did not endorse chris christie's election campaign. it is the biggest test yet of christie's political career. >> mayor mark sokolich had asked chris christie to stay out of ft. lee, but the governor came

anyway to personally deliver his apology. >> we're appreciative of the fact that he's taken, we believe, to be a big step in regaining the trust of our community and quite frankly, this region. >> reporter: earlier in the day during a nearly two-hour long marathon press conference the normally brash christie appeared humbled and full of remorse. >> i apologize to the people of ft. lee. it's incredibly disappointing to have people let you down this way. i'm a sad guy standing here today. >> reporter: christie said he was blind sided by messages that showed key members of his team conspireing to shut down three local access lanes to the george wasington bridge. >> that was the first time i knew about this. it was the first time i'd seen any of the documents that were revealed yesterday. >> and he moved swiftly thursday to clean house. the governor fired bridget kelly his deputy chief of staff. last august she wrote in an email time for some traffic

problems in ft. lee. christie said kelly lied to him about her role in the lane closures which caused hours-long traffic jams in ft. lee and delayed school busses and emergency vehicles responding to 911 calls. >> i would never have come out here four or five weeks ago and made a joke about these lane closures. if i had ever had an inkling that anyone on my staff would have been so stupid but to be involved. >> reporter: the governor also cut ties with his confidant and former campaign manager bill stepien, he appeared callous by the days-long gridlock. >> i had no knowledge or involvement in this issue, in its planning or its execution, and i am stunned by the abject

stupidity that was shown here. >> reporter: the u.s. attorneys office in new jersey has announced it will review the matter and the class action lawsuit is in the works. nora? charlie? >> thanks. republican strategist frank lonce is a cbs analyst and consults on crisis communication. good morning. >> good morning. >> often an apology to a scandal is interesting because of the personality of the politician. so looking at that how did he do yesterday? >> he apologized 20 times in the one hour and roughly 49 minutes that he spoke. i've never seen a politician stand up and take press challenges for literally two hours. second is that i was watching that clip. the entire time and i will admit that i got through an hour and a half of the apology and even i couldn't continue until the end. he looked people straight in the

eye. he was emphatic and you could see from his body language and the eye contact that he really meant it and he wanted to be clear. third, is that this is a legitimate crisis and i challenge those who want to dismiss it. your responsibility as governor is to improve the quality of life of your people whether it's you or your administration and when they deliberately go out and try to make things worse you have to demonstrate accountability and heads roll. already two people have lost their jobs. i would think the government of new jersey would want those people prosecuted. it's not enough to dewitt but that you go further. >> stylistically, that is one of his strengths is how he handled this, but 107 minutes taking 90 questions? did he go too far? could he have said something that could trip him up in the future? he was emphatic that he knew nothing about this. >> the fact that he's willing to take every question from every reporter until the last question

was asked, we've seen this 100 times before. they go out running after ten minutes and they deliver the official text and they read it he did it and they get out of there as fast as they can. he didn't. they're shouting questions as he's leaving. in this case everyone was silent because every question was asked. >> she has a good point. what does he have to fear now? >> he has to tell the truth. it's that simple. if it is shown that he knew about this then he's done provided that that does not happen he's held himself accountable and this is what the public hates about politicians that they find any excuse or weasel words to get out of it. he used the word humiliated and that's about as strong as you can get in any apology. >> he also fired two of his aides, one of whom is a deputy chief of staff, a woman, mother of four and he accused her of abject stupidity. is that commonplace to talk about your former circle of trust, of aides in that way? >> it isn't, but you can tell

he's outraged by this. he's embarrassed and it echoes to a bigger point and this is why the people of new jersey reelected him in such overwhelming numbers and the question is will this personality last over two years of a presidential campaign? we love this refreshing candor and his directness but can we take that for two years? >> and so do you think this damages him and how severely? at this moment? >> i look at david axelrod and barack obama's chief adviser who said this is no big deal provided that he told the truth. chris christie has more trouble in a republican primary because of his embrace of barack obama than he does this scandal. this would be an issue. >>. >> the republicans are criticizing. >> which is fascinating to me because it's republicans against republicans. >> thank you. president obama approved a disaster declaration this morning for west virginia. nine counties are dealing with a chemical spill. it contaminated the water supply up to 300,000 people are being

told not to utsch it the tap water. at least five were treated at a hospital. jesse schaefer of our affiliate wowk is in charleston. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, nora and charlie and good morning to the viewers in the west. the chemical began leaking in a storage tank in the facility behind me. the department of environmental protection is trying to figure out where that came from and how the chemicals have leaked out. as much as 5,000 gallons have leaked into the water. crowds filled stores if west virginia thursday night stocking up on everything from water to ice. demand for the items so high shelves were wiped clean. >> everybody's wanting water. there is no water and that brings concern. >> i have ice up here so it will turn into water. you can't live without water. >> reporter: the water supply for hundreds of thousands became tainted after a chemical spilled into the elk river in charleston. the governor ordered a state of emergency. >> for your safety we would ask

that everyone please do not use any tap water. >> the leak happened just about a mile north of the state's largest water treatment plant. the material a foaming agent used to clean coal began leaking from a 48,000 gallon storage tarng at fred om industries a chemical manufacturer. >> we don't know a lot about the product and we're still sampling and looking at concentrations. >> reporter: officials were alerted after residents reported a strange odor in the air. they live across the facility. >> it's treatmently out of the ordinary. >> a lot of people describe it as licorice but it's a sweet type of smell. >> the chemical can potentially cause eye and skin irritation. >> as a precaution the health department ordered all restaurants and schools impacted to close. crews were spotted working at the affected areas throughout the night, but there's no telling how long residents will have to steer clear of the

water. >> you can't wash the dishes. you can't take a shower. so that's more frustrating than it is nervous or upset. >> reporter: officials are working to get people bottled water. there say declaration of federal emergency and we have reached out to freedom industries for comment. so far, no word yet. charlie? nora? >> jessie schaefer thanks. target revealed that hackers stole personal information from up to 70 million customers, far more than the company's original estimates of 40 million card accounts. the retail giant has released new information regarding one of the largest credit card security breaches in history. it affected millions of customers that used their credit cards and debit credit cards at target across the country, at the height of the holiday shopping season. in a statement released this morning, target disclosed that

more information was breached than originally thought, and at this time the investigation has determined that the stolen information includes names, mailing addresses, phone numbers or email addresses for up to 70 million individuals. the new stolen information is not a new theft. this information was uncovered during the ongoing investigation into the original security breach. target's ceo greg steinhoffel apologized to customers in a statement and prom toysed continue sharing any new information related to this incident. in response to the security breach, target is offering customers one year of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection for all guests who shopped at stores in the u.s. charlie? nora? >> thanks michelle. the last employment report of 2013 is out this morning. the numbers are lower than economists predicted. the labor department says employers added 74,000 jobs in december. that is the smallest monthly

number in the last three years. however, the unemployment rate fell in december to 6.7%. it happened because more people stopped looking for full-time work. that jobless rate is the lowest in more than five years. experts say cold weather may have slowed december hiring. and this morning president obama is preparing to endorse new curbs on nsa surveillance. he has changes in ord toward changing policy. bill plante is at the white house. good morning. >> good morning. before the holidays he has limiting security data collection. he's using unanimous recommendations from a panel he appointed. the president's announcements of which reforms he's willing to support will come next week. the president met with top

intelligence advisers and members of congress this week as he prepares his final decisions on the report. >> this will be an important milestone in the process and conclusion in many respects for this review. mr. obama has suggested that he is likely to support new restrictions on the nsa's storage of the phone records of millions of americans, having private companies keep them and possibly requiring a court order for each today searched. he's also expected to back imwellities on surveillance of non-u.s. citizens including foreign leaders, this after embarrassing revelations that the u.s. was monitoring german chancellor angela merkel and other u.s. allies. of the 46 recommended changes of the review panel, some may happen immediately. >> there will be some i expect that he will want to act on or want the government to act on right away. there will be others that he may decide should not be acted on and there may be some that would

require further review. >> reporter: privacy advocates including some members of congress say the president should go further. >> i am supportive of his motives and what he's trying to do. my only additional comment is that i think what we need is to do something more dramatic than what he's proposing. >> reporter: critics who oppose changes at the nsa say necessary checks and balances are already in place. >> the system is working. if the president's commission has shown abuses that would be one thing. if they had shown that there had been abuses or that the intelligence is not important and the fact is that it's valuable and the president said that. >> reporter: there's also a new classified report from the department of defense which warns that edward snowden's massive leaks have the potential to jeopardize the lives of americans working overseas. members of the house intelligence committee who have seen the report say there could be lethal consequences for troops in the field, but there's no indication so far that the

leaks have led to the deaths of any u.s. forces. charlie? nora? >> thanks bill. a diplomat ordered to leave the united states is on her way back to india. she was indicted by a federal grand jury in new york. her case drew outrage in india. she was arrested last month and strip searched. she's accused of forcing her housekeeper to work long hours for well below minimum wage. this morning the tension between the two countries continues. india wants the american embassy in new delhi to remove an officer with the rank similar to the diplomat. and this morning the pentagon releases the study of sexual assaults on three u.s. military academies. the study reports, crude, and offensive language and sexist comments occur frequently and are an ingrained part of the experience at the academies. the result a, quote, disrespectful environment. there were 70 reported assaults down from 80 in 2012 and while the academies reported fewer

assaults, the ranks of the military saw a 46% jump in the first nine months of 2013. time to show you some of this morning's headlines. "the washington post" looked at hamid karzai. he will sign an agreement on long-term security. the deal would allow american troops to remain in afghanistan after the last combat forces leave this year. the white house wants an agreement. sdwloo they're trying to carry out attacks on the united states when they get back home. the civil war in syria are seeking to topple the assad regime. the fbi is conducting surveillance on a small number of americans who pay pose a threat. the current congress is making history for its wealth. for the for the time more than half of the lawmakers are millionaires. suicides jumped among male veterans under the age of 30. a 44% increase and that's about

two a day. and u success a today looks at homefield advantage in the nfl postseason. last week visiting teams won three out of four games. top seeds rarely win the super bowl despite the advantages. they get a first-round bye and can reach the big game with two home wins and that's only happened twice in the past ten years. extreme weather in south florida and a possible tornado touched down in hope sound and about 30 homes were damaged and there were no injuries and the same system dumped 17 inches of looks like a warmer day ahead on this friday. but changes over the weekend. outside, though, right now, we have mostly clear skies over the bay, a couple of patches of fog along the coastline. we'll see more of that into the afternoon. but the temperatures are going to be warmer today in most spots, mid-60s into concord. 63 degrees in san jose. and about 61 in san francisco. another cold front dives in to bring a chance of rain toward the middle of the day on saturday. return to dry weather come

he joins us for his first television interview. russian military forces and the region are on combat alert and they're protecting against a possible terror threat and american officials are also preparing for a worst-case scenario. jim axelrod is here. jim, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. u.s. teams traveling to russia won't be taking any chances. if something on the ordy yer does occur, plans are in place to evacuate as many people as quickly as possible. as u.s. athletes make their final preparations for the games in sochi, an effort to secure their safety is also under way. the boston-based firm is contracted to provide emergency services for the u.s. ski and snowboard teams. but unlike past olympics these winter games come with a new set of challenges. >> this is not like calgary or france or --

>> lake placid. >> or lake placid. it just isn't. there are some bad actors within hundreds, not thousands or tens of thousands of miles of this location that are bent on disrupting these games. >> reporter: sochi is also located near the unstable north caucuses. this is where russian forces have been battling extremists in nearby chechnya and dagestan for more than two decades. last week more than 30 people were killed by two suicide bombs targeting a train station and bus in volgograd. authorities found six bodies less than 200 miles from sochi. >> these events do occur. they don't happen with greaty from kwens canny, but when they do it's incredibly important to have at a minimum two things, a plan in place and the resources with which to respond. >> reporter: richards and his team have spent months extending their traditional services to include large-sdal evacuation plan should there be a catastrophe. this includes having aircraft on

standby at nearby airports and making sure the staff is equip equipped to navigate the region's rough terrain. >> in order to pull off something that would be massively disruptive to the games which would require a level of sophistication by the attackers that we haven't seen in decades and i'm not sure if it exists out there, but we do have to prepare for it. russia has stepped up security throughout the region. a $2 billion operation called the ring of steel is being put into place. it includes the deployment of 40,000 police and military personnel in a fortified area around the olympic site. >> what is your primary concern? >> getting everything in place and complete before the games kick off. >> yesterday the fbi released a statement saying it was satisfied with how russian authorities were dealing with any threat to olympic security. the bureau also said that during the games agents would be in

moscow and sochi to assist authorities as necessary. charlie? nora? this morning an unmanned rocket is on its way to the international space station with supplies. it left thursday from its facility in virginia. it is known as the relaxing getaway spot, but as chip reid shows us a unique partnership is helping to put it back on the radar of space exploration. >> reporter: on the remote eastern shore of virginia visitors have long been drawn by the wild horses of chincoteague, and by the stunning sunsets and the wild serenity of nature. >> three two, one. >> lately there is another sound that's growing louder than ever before. >> liftoff. >> reporter: because at the nasa launch site here business is booming. >> it's like nothing we've seen. >> reporter: bill robel is the director of nasa's wallops flight facility. >> a lot of people who live a few hours from here didn't know

it existed. will that change? >> i think ittal already has. >> reporter: it's changing because they've been launching rockets since 1945 now wallops is going big. the rocket launched thursday is carrying 1.5 tons of supplies to the international space station, food tools and some science experiments including one by this group of high school students from pennsylvania. >> how many people let alone teenager, have the opportunity to say they sent something into space? >> and all of that cargo is carried by a rocket owned and operated not by nasa but orbital sciences corporation, a private company working under a $1.9 billion contract with nasa. this was the first of three launches by orbital this year with another five to follow through the year 2016. frank cobertson is the executive vice president of orbital. >> there was a time when this would have been done by the space shuttle and not a private

company? >> nasa needed an alternative to carry cargo. >> reporter: he spent 18 years at nasa and is a former shuttle commander, but now he sees a big future for private industry in space. >> if you think about a team going to the moon or mars they'll have to have cargo. they'll have to have other modules to live in or provide support and the the commercial companies can provide that. >> reporter: in the local community, businesses relied for years on sales pitches with wild horse themes now they're adding rockets and space. at the island creamery in chincoteague, the new ice cream flavor is rocket fuel and the popular bill's seafood restaurant owner steve potts is getting creative. >> we have the deep-fried moon pie and the galactic martini. for a lot of people it's exciting to see their first rocket launch up close and personal. >> people who drove five hours to get here. >> wow! wow! >> i thought you this is awesome. >> it's an unusual combination for attracting tourists.

rockets and wild horses but on the eastern shore of virginia it appears to be working. for "cbs this morning," chip reid wallops island. and coming up an explosive new book looks at one of the most powerful people in media and politics. roger ailes, gabriel sherman is in studio 57 he spent three years working on this unauthorized biography and how ails is responding.

i decided i had to keep them apart. i don't think nixon ever knew he was on the same show with a boa constrictor until someone told him and a belly dancer. she was a famous bell dancer. anyway, i went back to my office and there's nixon sitting there and he's grumbling on too bad a guy had to rely on a gimmick to get elected in this country and i was 27 years old, and i said if you think television is a gimmick, you'll lose again. that was roger ailes sharing a turning point in his life. for nearly 50 years he's been a power play in american media and politics. he's best known as chairman and ceo of fox news channel. now there is a new, unauthorized biography which explores his influence and it is called "the loudest voice in the room. how the brilliant, bombastic roger ailes built fox news and divided a country." gabriel sherman is the author and he's here with his first television interview. welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> i love this clip. i am so glad he started with

that because that story say classic ailes story and -- >> and you suggest in the book that it has been -- >> it's an amazing story because he's recounted it time and again and i went back and in the course of interviewing more than 600 people for this book i've learned that that story is a formative time in his life and it did not happen as he said it happened. there was no belly dancer and there was no snake and it's a wonderful cocktail story that shows roger ailes' ability to be a story teller. he wanted to work for nixon and he wanted to become a media strategist. >> when i read the biography, who is it? why do they matter? why should i care? what did i learn new about this person, but most importantly what makes them who they are? what makes roger ailes roger ailes? >> charlie he is an american icon. it's a reporter's dream to write this book. he is the most unexplored

subject and the most powerful man in america that most americans don't know but they should. he controls the american news agenda and he's an unexplored subject and he's citizen cain meets p.t. barnum. he controls the most powerful cable news network whose rating surpass rivals combined and it drives the agenda. >> he is a brilliant television executive, whether you're whatever your political affiliation. >> of course. >> you write about his desire to influence national politics and you quote him telling fox executives in 2010 i want to elect the next president. what did he do to try to make that happen? >> roger ailes has been influencing politics through three decades whether as a political consultant or tv news executive and he knows how to program television to drive a message. in the 2012 cycle with mitt romney, his strategy was rather than trying to build romney up it was an attack strategy over barack obama because he knew romney had lukewarm support

amongst the conservative base and obama was a very ripe target and if you look at fox fuse programming throughout the last election cycle, he was driving that through the "fast and furious" scandal and benghazi and every day fox is driving that message which kept the base an mitted and ready to turn out for romney. it didn't work and that's when you see the television and politics are two different, separate things. >> roger ailes has expressed some concern -- youhe did a whole lot of interviews. >> over of 600 research. >> he's expressed some concern over delving into his son, his only son and his family and his wife who is a publisher. >> roger ailes is an american icon and fox news is an expression of his world view. his entire institution and everything that winds up on the screen starts with roger ailes, it is his vision and the entire company revofrls around how he

your realtime captioner is mrs. linda marie macdonald good morning, it's 7:56. i'm michelle griego. arson teams are investigating at least three small fires in san jose this morning. the latest around 24th and san antonio. it comes after a string of other fires in the same area earlier this week. the target security breach was much worse than originally thought. last month, the company announced hackers had accessed credit and debit card numbers of about 40 million people. this morning, target said the breach also included names, addresses, and phone numbers of up to 70 million customers. the company is now trying to contact anyone who had their information stolen. stay with us, traffic and weather in just a moment.

good morning. we're still watching a fatal

hit-and-run motorcycle accident in the macarthur maze. it was first reported earlier this morning westbound 580 by the 80 interchange. and look at how far back that 580 is now. it is jammed solid gridlocked for miles all the way past highway 13 now and 24 is jammed from telegraph. police are still looking for the driver of a dark blue chevy silverado pickup they say was involved in the crash. here's a live look at the bay bridge. no metering lights, so looks good from here into san francisco. that's traffic. here's lawrence. all right. we are looking at a great day ahead. high pressure building in. a lot of sunshine outside. a little chilly to start without the door this morning. a few high clouds drifting overhead. patchy fog likely along the coastline, seeing that now. throughout the day, though, mostly sunny skies in the bay, temperatures moving up into the 60s. maybe some mid-60s in the warmest interior valleys. 50s with patchy fog toward the coastline. air quality good so light a fire in your fireplace. a little rain over the weekend. back to dry weather and warmer temperatures sunday.

anncr: at jennie-o we heard of a place in iowa where every thursday people ride 10 miles for tacos. we thought we'd show up and surprise them with a better kind of taco made with jennie-o ground turkey cooked thoroughly to 165. i feed my kids turkey tacos over regular tacos any day. i think they are light and they are just fresh tasting. yeah. when i eat well, i feel well. anncr: it's time for a better taco. the tacos tonight were pretty much perfect. make the switch. look for jennie-o ground turkey in a store near you.

the biggest test yet on governor christie's career. >> he apologized 20 times and i have never seen a politician take press challenges for two hours. >> what does he do now? >> if he knew about this he is done. >> officials are working to get access to bottled water overnight. the white house approved a request by the governor for a declaration of federal emergency. >> target disclosed more information was breached name mailing addresses and phone numbers and e-mails up to 70 million individuals. >> the u.s. teams traveling to russia won't be taking chances. if a terrorists attack occurs plans are in effect to evacuate hundreds of people. >> when people see the book they will see it's a measured deep probing nuance -- >> when you say he divided a country? >> yes, he has. a person who i counted on

and trusted for five years betrayed me. >> christie was furious when they blocked the bridge because he thought they were blocking the fridge. today's eye-opener at 8:00 is presented by -- 8:00 is presented by i am charlie rose with norah o'donnell, and gayle king is off. christie is apologizing for the traffic nightmare on the bridge. christie fired one top aide and cut ties with another. >> he said he is embarrassed and said he takes responsibility for the scandal up to a point. >> i come out here today to apologize to the people of new jersey. i am embarrassed and humiliated. i had no knowledge or involvement in this issue, and i am stunned by the stupidity.

>> did you entertain the idea that you should resign? >> oh, god, no. that's a crazy question, man. i am telling you i had nothing to do this. i did not remember meeting mayor sokouch until i saw him in a picture. i was blind-sided and i was done with a workout and got a call informing me of what was coming out. i don't know what the stages of grief are, but anger gets there at some point but the fact is right now i am sad. i have not had a lot of sleep for the last two nights and i have been doing a lot of soul searching. i am sick over this. i have worked for the last 12

years in public life developing a reputation for honesty and directness and blunt talk and one that i think is well deserved, but, you know when something like this happens it's appropriate for you to question yourself, and certainly i am. i am soul searching on this. i am enormously flattered that folks would talk about me in my party as somebody who they think could be a candidate for president. all those considerations are the kind of hysteria that goes around this because everybody is in that world and gets preoccupied with that job. i am not preoccupied with that job. i am preoccupied with this one, and as you can tell i have plenty to do. it's not like i have spare time to spend. >> and bob schafer is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> you just heard it i mean he is embarrassed and heartbroken and has been soul searching and

can't sleep at night. this is one of the most extraordinary apologies i have ever seen. how about you? >> i think it is. i can't remember a news conference like this. i was listening to the radio and they said i think the news conference ran about 17 hours. we know it didn't but what was it, 108 minutes or something like that. it was just extraordinary. i guess the question is did it work? they teach you in journalism the one thing you end up doing is saying time will tell and in this case time will tell and here is why. if this story holds up if all of what he said proves to be true and i have no reason -- i take the governor at his word at this point, and if it goes on to be true he goes on fighting but if there is one shred of

evidence that he did know about it, i think he is finished. i think there is no place to go after that. it was an extraordinary performance. i mean you know in this age of media coaches and public relations, talking points i mean, this guy comes at you with that the subtlety of a dump truck, and that's what he did yesterday and that's what makes him effective. it all has got to be true. at this point i would suggest that it probably is. i don't think he would have done this yesterday if he thought he was going to get caught so to speak. i think he probably lives to fight for another day. >> can i turn to one other subject. the gates biography? what do you think of that, because he raised questions about the obama strategy for afghanistan, and he criticized joe biden in a most direct way. >> you know charlie, the thing

about it and i think there is some -- there are others around washington that kind of feel this way, but i was not so much surprised at what he said but the fact that he said it. bob gates has always been the soul of discretion. he is a republican but he has been someone, the so-called wiseman around washington that people on both sides would consult and you took his word. the fact that he decided to come out with this rather harsh attack on joe biden, that he reveals some of these things while the president is still in office, and i was really pretty surprised. >> you know what is interesting, bob, and it always happened when a book like this is released everybody goes for the most sensational item but there is a lot of interesting observations and he calls the president the most deliberate president he has ever worked for, and he said

clinton is smart and tough and practical. there is a lot of interesting nuances about people in the book that don't get out of the time of publication. >> you know i think that's an excellent point to make. i do want to read the book. i mean it does sound fascinating. i just don't have a copy of it yet. but, you know, you are talking about, you know kind of hillary clinton became his sort of soulmate during this administration, and i remember interviewing the two of them together from time to time and yet he also quotes her in the book as saying that she supported the surge in iraq for political reasons, and i just, you know, if in fact she did say that, i think that's a stunning disclosure in itself. again, i was just very very surprised that bob gates would be this forthcoming at this point while the president is still in office. >> good to see you.

>> thank you, norah. >> we will be watching this sunday on "face the nation," and you will see the interview of bob rubio. that's right here on cbs. and then a chemical spill in charleston's elk river threatens the water supply in nine counties. president obama signed a federal disaster declaration today. hundreds of thousands of people can't take a bath brush their teeth or drink tap water this morning. bottled water is in short supply, and schools and restaurants are closed and five people were treated for the exposure to the chemical. we are getting a look at a plane crashing off the coast of hawaii. one of the survivors captures the drama with his camera. >> this is how it looked to rescue workers from the sky, but this is the view of the nine

passengers aboard the cessna aircraft as it plunged into the waters on december 11th. >> the engine made a noise, and all the bells and whistles started. >> fuentes only planned to record the takeoff with the camera, but he had a camera on the stick and was able to document himself and the other passengers struggling to stay afloat. the pilot is seen with a cut to his head. >> so many things just happening, you know. is it for real, you know? it is really happening? >> a spear fisherman that was used to being in the ocean, he tried to swim to shore, but with 50 yards to go he was overcome with exsaucetion. >> pretty much everything is on instinct. >> the only fatality was fuddy.

her exact cause of death is still under investigation. fuentes and the other passengers were all treated and released.

good morning. chopper 5 took some pictures of some of the gridlock in the east bay. just moments ago, this is what you can see out there. backed up traffic on westbound 580 from golf links all the way to the macarthur maze. so it's because of a fatal motorcycle accident, it was reported just before 6:30 this

morning, westbound 580 on the approach to 80. you can see on our sensors traffic is delayed like i said almost to golf links road. and you can see some of the backup currently right now in some of our sensors and our live traffic cameras. that is 580 approaching 24. so obviously a lot of folks were trying to ditch 580. use 880 instead. unfortunately that's jammed solid past the oakland coliseum into your downtown oakland exits. here's lawrence. liz, i think we're working on a good friday outside. going to see a lot of sunshine coming our way a little fog approaching the coastline in spots there. a little gray early on. you can see some of that in the distance. but we are going to also mix in a little sunshine too. and high pressure building in overhead. that means the temperature is going to be warming up a bit. let's plan on 64 in concord, 61 in san francisco, 63 in san jose and 59 degrees couple of patches of fog into pacifica. the weekend though a cold front dives in bringing a chance of some showers on saturday. dry on sunday. much warmer weather as we head toward next week.

♪ welcome back to cbs this morning. coming up in the half hour three of the most important women in college sports are in the studio. they tell us about the real affects of title 9. plus the owls made famous by harry potter. they have a real life tale of their own. that's ahead. it's time to show you some of this morning's headline. we look at a court ruling against yelp. it must turn over the names of seven anonymous complainers. the owners claim the accounts are fake. >> and then a minnesota man

released from custody. >> the miami harold looks at a sports writer ban for life for voting in the baseball hall of fame. he allowed readers to make this year's pick. he did it as a protest, and he calls the process an avalanche of sank tau moany. and then leveling the field for playing sports. more than four decades later, the number of sports administrators among the nation's top colleges is in decline. college sports are multimillion dollar franchises. but the female ad remains rare just 8% of the ncaa's biggest

sports programs are currently led by women. >> the number at the division 1 level is still short of what it should be. >> judy sweet became the first woman to lead a college program in 1975. just as title 9 gave rise to the female athlete. >> i totally believed that title 9 has been if not the greatest one of the greatest pieces of civil rights legislation in the last century. >> when it passed in 1972 just 4% of college athletes were women. today female athletes nearly equal men at 46%. but surprisingly the opposite affect has taken place at the administrative level. 40 years ago, 90% of female college athletes were coached by women. it's now at 43%. judy rose has been in charge of the charlotte 49ers since 1990. chris heads the athletic women's

program at the university of texas. and julie herman took over the program at rutgers last year. >> i am encouraged by the skill set that those women who are serving as division 1 athletics directors bring to the table. i have always said my selection of collector of @hretathletics was timing but the first thing is not being the first, and more important is not being the last. >> and julie herman is here for first national interview since joining rutgers. we just said 8% of athletic directors. why is there so few women in leadership in sports? >> it's the retired basketball or football coach at a school and that day has changed and we run a business and people understand that. so i think that's part of the reason. i think the other is the

balancing for women is tougher to make that decision. >> it would be interesting to know how each of you became an athletic director. >> chris? >> certainly not the path. i was hoping to write for "sports illustrated," but i did work my way through school and the publicity there, and never dreaming that i could lead to administration. there was a lot of advocacy and opportunity provided by mentors that were both female and male that encouraged me down this path. >> i thought i would end up in hollywood, and instead i was encouraged by the people around me, my college coach encouraged me to go into coaching and along the way there have been amazing people that encouraged me to continue to coach and go into administration, and there has been a lot of support for the business, so now 25 and 30 years later, it's a privilege to do it. >> what other challenges for you, and are they in any way

gender specific? >> i wouldn't know being this gender, and really for all three of us we have been in the industry for so long and been part of the maleness of the industry, and it's hard to know what lends looking at you, but as far as we are concerned it's down to the business of college athletics, and trying to foster an environment in which the athletes can live out their dreams and 100% focused on that. >> judy was a tremendous coach, and julie was a much better athlete, and i feel like participation leads to passion, and what we all have right now is the passion that we serve for these young men and women that we get to see develop on a campus with access to higher education through their sport, they have a gift but it's our job now to administer to those opportunities. >> great line opportunity leads

to passion. >> in terms of women's participation in sports, there's a lot of talk even since title 9 despite the laws in effect you have few women in sports? >> i think the numbers of women are slowly increase in administration. we would like to see those numbers be higher, but i think we got information just yet that there was a 42% increase in either promotions of women in the collegiate athletics. so that's very important to us. again, i think just given the opportunity that people will look through the lens i was asked the question rl erearlier, what is the difference between the female and male athletic

director director? i said it's the same. >> what is happening in sports in universities around the country? >> the good news is title 9 is working. we have increased opportunities and because of that we are watching athletes become coaches and becoming administrators, for me that's been the path all the way through, and part of our enthusiasm particularly at rutgers, we have the big 10 and that has been a fantastic leader in the sports and administrators, and so i think great things are happening and i think the numbers are slowly starting to come because title 9 not only is in existence, but it has been enforced and reinforced. >> you took over after the previous athletic director was fired and accused of abusive behavior. how was that? >> it wasn't fun, when you step into something where there is that much blood in the water, and the news media likes to keep

controversy going around rutgers, but it's an opportunity to create a best in class environment for our student athletes. that's what it has been about for me and our students. we have a lot of work to do as we get ready for the big 10 and it's an extraordinary opportunity for our institution and we are focused on that. >> how do you create that environment? >> that's 10,000 details, and 10,000 things it creates to create a culture where you are fostering their academic and athletic success, and preparing them to be great contributors out there in life. it takes a whole village to get that done. >> what would you change about college sports? >> well i would like to change the maturity level of student athletes when they come into our program. they have been raised or reared in a certain environment and there's a lot of parental environment on the collegiate

level, and i would change that if we could do that because when they come to us it's our responsibility to develop them totally, not just as athletes and it's our responsibility to make sure they are on a path to graduate and they do become productive citizens. >> i would like to change the perception that college athletics exist as some path towards professionalism. what it's really about is to advance young people with an education, and if so and they are talented enough in the sport so be it but most of the young men and women are pursuing careers in education and science and it's that higher education come popeponent that is under sung. >> good luck. >> thank you. >> nice to see you. and snowy alls are supposed to live in the arctic so why are so many of them making the u.s.

23-year-old from santa rosa who apparently had no pre-existing health problems. it's the weekend. how about the forecast? here's lawrence. >> could be a very interesting weekend weather-wise. today will be so nice. we are going to see high pressure overhead maybe a couple of patches of fog along the coastline. otherwise looking good. over coit tower we have some blue skies there now. and that ridge will continue to build throughout the day today. so we'll see a whole lot of sunshine. the temperatures going to start to warm up. in fact, numbers moving up in the mid-60s in some of the valleys and the bay. 50s toward the coastline with a couple of patches of fog. looks like over the weekend though a cold front dives in bringing a chance of rain on saturday. return to dry weather on sunday. then near record-breaking temperatures as we look toward next week. we are going to check your "kcbs traffic" coming up next.

disperse good morning. we have better news for macarthur maze drivers. all lanes have just been reopened after a fatal motorcycle collision on westbound 580 before the 80 approach. unfortunately, we are still seeing very big delays. this is going to take a while for things to recover of westbound 580 backed up beyond highway 13 and 24 is jammed solid from the caldecott tunnel. so a lot of folks looking for alternates searching for the nimitz, northbound 880, seeing heavier-than-usual traffic right now, not a great alternate. it's delayed from san leandro around 238 out into the macarthur maze. and the downtown oakland exits. bay bridge though looks great. they never had to turn on the metering lights, so looks very quiet into san francisco.
