bombers, tamerlan tsarnaev may have had contacts with militants. >> charlie and clarissa, the venue is so spread out. it's a big area to secure. >> what other targets might they be looking at? >> not just the games themselves but transit zones, restaurants. these athletes and visitors will travel great distances. if the militants can hit any of those targets where westerners congress re ga congregate, that would abe big win for them. these soft targets are almost impossible to determine. >> thank you very much. new jersey governor chris christie will be sworn in for his second term. the possible presidential candidate has canceled tonight's inauguration party because of the weather. christie is also under a cloud of scrutiny. a new usa today poll shows
7:08 am
58% of americans do not believe the governor is telling the whole story in the george washington bridge scandal. elaine quijano is in new york city with what we'll hear from christie later today. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and clarissa and our viewers in the west. christie was joined by his lieutenant governor, latest member of his inner circle to be embroiled in a political controversy. in his inaugural address later today, governor christie will call for unity, saying we have to be willing to play outside the red and blue boxes the media pundits put us in. it comes after hoboken mayor dawn zimmer complained about feeling pressure to support a real estate project in return for receiving sandy aid dollars. >> this letter definitely makes it very clear that i was the one, you know, on april 21st, sent them a letter and very clearly said, you can't connect the two and it's not fair.
7:09 am
>> reporter: but lieutenant governor kim guadagno made the administration's position very clear. >> after she said to me you have to move ahead with the ro rockefeller project, i said does any other town being asked to do development in exchange for help for the flooding? >> reporter: earlier on monday, during a sandy volunteer event where she declined to take questions, guadagno flatly denied zimmer's accusation. >> any suggestion, any suggestion that sandy funds were tied to the approval of any project in new jersey is completely false. >> reporter: christie aides said the funds requested were for future flood projects and not sandy rebuilding efforts and that the city wanted a third of the money available for the entire state. the accusations come at a key time for christie, as he starts his second term as governor and molds a run for the white house. >> he was going to have essentially one year between winning re-election and the time
7:10 am
he needed to start running for president and he needed to use that year to run up the legislative scoreboard in new jersey. i think we can safely say that those plans are all on hold. >> reporter: governor christie and lieutenant governor guadagno will be formally sworn in in a ceremony later today. charlie? >> elaine, thanks. political crisis. overnight anti-government demonstrators waged a new battle with police. calls for compromise are going unanswered. mark phillips is in london, amid the growing violence. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. it's been going on a couple of months. while the crowd sizes haven't reached the critical mass that could lead to upheaval, it could be pushing the ukraine standoff to some sort of tipping point. it may have looked like a time
7:11 am
of fourth of july. demonstrators have used whatever weaponry they can get their hands on. sometimes the battle had the look and some of the weapons of a medieval siege. at one point, a catapult was moved toward the front line and fired it. they've been heaving rocks and firebottom firebombs at police and they've been fighting back with stun grenades and tear gas. it's not a mass protest with tens of thousands. it's down to a hard core of several hundred protesters, very determined protesters. and they've been carrying the battle. police have been firing back with rubber bullets at close range, it seems. what began as a contest between those who want ukraine to establish closer ties with europe and the government with links to moscow and word about russian gas supplies has turned into a tribal battle over basic human rights. the passing of a new government law to restrict the protest
7:12 am
resulted in some of the street violence spilling over into parliament. the european union has called on ukraine to suspend its legislation. and everyone is worried this could spin even further out of control. >> mark phillips, thank you. >> this morning, syrian peace conference will go on as planned. diplomatic slap over an invitation to iran is now settled. but a new report claims the syrian government tortured or killed more than 10,000 detainees since the civil war began nearly three years ago. holly williams recently went down to the syrian border and joins us now from istanbul, turkey. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, clarissa and cha rly. the images in this new report are believed to show the bodies of tortured inmates in syria's government prisons, taken by a defected reporter. it could derail its peace talks and we should warn you, we're
7:13 am
about to show you some very disturbing pictures. some of the people in the photographs appear to have been beaten, some starved, others strangled. cbs news cannot independently verify them and the report was funded by the government which supports the syrian opposition. the investigation was carried out by three respective former war crimes prosecutors with the help of other experts. they concluded that there's evidence thousands of people have been systematically tortured and executed in syrian prisons during the country's civil war. >> the picture presented by these images is one of utter and unbelievable horror. a picture of 11,000 people killed in one place, this may well be the tip of the iceberg.
7:14 am
>> reporter: the report favors prospect of a war crime investigation into the government of bashar al assad. the syrian opposition only agreed to take part in the talks at the last minute and then threatened to boycott the negotiations after the u.n. secretary general invited iran, a key ally of the syrian regime. after the u.s. also protested the invitation to iran was withdrawn, but that's angered russia, another ally of the syrian government. the russian foreign minister said today they're excluding iran from the negotiations is a mistake. even before the peace talks have begun, they are mired in argument. after nearly three years of civil war and a death toll of more than 130,000, there's little sense that either side expects these talks to achieve anything, let alone peace. charlie and clarissa? >> holly, thank you. you covered syria more as well as anybody. tell me what you think about
7:15 am
this latest story in the photographs they have. >> we're talking about war crimes. this recalls images of death camps. the idea that the international community is not able to put an end to this blood shed and to this sickness is really -- >> the photographs are horrendous. >> horrendous. we couldn't show our viewers many of them because they were so horrendous. >> this morning, syrian's civil war may be tied to leb novenlt a car bombing killed at least four people. the blast shook a neighborhood where many people support hezbollah. new details about white house efforts to free kenneth bae from north korea. a source tells cbs news that they've reached out to north korea, the goal? a pardon for bae. he has been detained for more than a year. the white house also offered to send the u.s. ambassador for
7:16 am
north korean human rights. so far no response from the kim jong-un regime. bae's sister says she's encouraged by his appearance but it's heartbreaking to see him in a prison uniform. she pleaded for bae's freedom. recovery efforts resumed. two workers were killed when the international nutrition plant collapsed monday. ten others were injured. survivors describe the explosion. >> heard a crack, pop and big ball of fire. and i was in the back and i just took off running as soon as i heard the first crack. that's all i could really do, and get out of the way. >> they make products for livestock and poultry. some had to be cut out of the debris. it may take weeks to learn the cause of the accident. a search is under way this morning for a gunman who shot a student on a university campus near philadelphia. it happened last night in
7:17 am
chester. the government wounded the student in the parking lot. the victim is in critical but stable condition this morning. police say the shooting does not appear to be random. classes resume today. >> it is time to show you some of this morning's headlines. wall street journal looks at how target missed a chance to improve credit card safety. the retail giant pulled the plug on anti-theft chips. breach of 110 million shoppers. usa today looks at the report on income disparity. they find almost half the world's wealth is owned by just 1% of the planet's population and the poorer half of the world, people have the same amount of money as the richest 85 people on earth. 6,000 church sex abuse documents will be released today. part of an agreement with the archdiocese, attorneys for victims of 30 chicago priests say the documents show a
7:18 am
conscious effort to protect the church. archdiocese says it was a mistake, not a cover-up. los angeles times looks at air pollution from china, reaching the u.s. this is a story we've been telling you b a report finds dirty emissions from china's export industry make it across the pacific ocean in just six days. in 2006, los angeles and parts of the eastern u.s. had at least one extra day of smog that exceeded federal health standards. about one-fifth of the smog comes from producing goods for the u.s. and other countries. and the denver post says the nfl is considering a proposal to eliminate extra points. commissioner roger goodell says it's almost automatic. under the proposal, a team would get seven points for a touchdown unless it wanted to try for an eighth. if the team went for an eighth and failed it would only get six points for the score.

7:36 am
lantpy. that's a very just thing. we want to lift those people up, we want to get the trials of death rate down from the 3%, that it is now, down to the level it was in the united states in 1980. 1.6%. and it's going to take some of that wealth, and a not of ingenuity to get us there. >> the incoming theme will be for davos where you will be. three myths that we worry about, one that the poor are doomed to be poor. what do you mean? >> well, there's been really mind-blowing progress during my lifetime, back in 1955, there were a few rich countries, but overwhelmingly, countries were poor. today, more countries are middle income. they've moved up, countries like mexico, brazil, china. and so we have remaining poorer countries. in the next 20 years if we're
7:37 am
focused on it, we'll have that down to a very small number. less than ten. and only by knowing the progress we've made, though, will we dedicate ourselves to this effort. you look at the headlines, you might get the impression that we're not making progress. you hear about the setback, the tornadoes, not the wonder results of living these countries up. >> you want to create a mind-set that things are getting better and we have to continue that effort? >> yeah, and look at where it's gone well. being willing to put the resources and effort in to match the country where is it's gone spectacularly well. >> you even say that extreme poverty can be solved by 2025. which is amazing to think about. by exercising ingenuity.
7:38 am
what kind of? >> a disease like malaria will take new medicines and vaccines to get a third of the u.s. farming productivity, up close to that level so they can feed themselves, send themselves to school. they need new and better seeds. a lot of that ingenuity come from the richer countries. governments. we concede this is possible. and the kind of mind-set that poorer countries are stuck, that's going to hold that. that's why that myth is a diaster zblerp you talk about polio, and you say we're getting closer than ever to completely eradicating it. you look at syria where i spent a lost time where there is a resurgence now in polio. how much of the world is an obstacle of what we want to do.
7:39 am
>> the two top countries are pakistan and nigeria. and as you said, there's violence, there's a misunderstanding about the vaccine, thinks that it's an evil plot of the west. we have to get the truth out. we have to work with religious leaders. anybody who's trusted. and change the attitude. because at the end of the day, this is about kids who die or get paralyzed. and with the little bit of great work and a little bit of luck within the next couple of years, we'll get down to zero cases. >> a couple of points. one of the other myths that you want to make sure that people understand is myth, foreign aid is waste and that statement leads to overpopulation. speaking of saving lives what has been the drama mat reduction in the death of children under 5? >> well, back in 1990, it was about 13% of all children died before the age of 5. and now we're down at about 5%.
7:40 am
that's unbelievable progress. that's getting vaccines out to them when they're born. having a good birth rate. and we can go so much further if we build on that progress. spo i think you just see disasters, you seeing in tiff things. the headlines never tell you what i think is the greatest assessment of mankind, is that unbelievable injustices of a mother having a child die. >> i know seattle is your hometown. i wonder if you're aware that the seattle seahawks are in the super bowl. >> absolutely. my friend paul allen and the whole city is wrapped up. >> and i wonder if richard sherman reminds you of yourself with humility. >> sounds like he was pretty excited to win. >> he could take a page from the bill gates book. i'm just saying. thank you so much. leonardo dicaprio earned an
