>> good morning, charlie. >> we begin in iraq where iraq is asking for help from the united states this morning to avoid a possible civil war. a army of militants inspired by al qaeda threatens to march on baghdad. they captured mosul, then they moved south. the latest city to fall is tikrit, the hometown of saddam hussein. >> the militants are now less than 100 miles from baghdad. holly williams is in northern iraq in irbil. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the islamic militants announced their plan to march on baghdad after a string of stunning victories across northern iraq. this country's government is looking increasingly weak despite millions of dollars in american military aid. islamic militants swept into an oil-producing city and seized control of government buildings. and then they overran tikrit

the former home of saddam hussein. they are now heading towards baghdad. hundreds of thousands are streaming to nearby iraqi kurtistan. among them we met a soldier in iraq's army who told us he's fought against the militants when they captured mosul, the country's second biggest city on tuesday. they are terrorists he told us and they have better weapons than us. but the truth is many iraqi officers have laid down their guns and run away from the battle zone including these soldiers deserting the fighting. the militants belong to the islamic state of iraq and syria, or isis. the group began as an al qaeda affiliate and is trying to establish a state based on islamic law.

just over the border fighting against the regime in syria's civil war, they carried out public beatings and executions but even al qaeda has condemned isis for excessive violence. the group now controls territory straddling syria and iraq and is moving its fighters freely between the two countries. they come from across the middle east and also include hundreds of european muslims thought to have been radicalized in syria. iraq's government says it is carrying out military air strikes against militant strongholds and released video of that today. but there are also reports this morning isis is attacking a city just 80 miles north of baghdad. >> holly, thank you. and now iraq's government is also asking the united states for air strikes against the militants. so far the obama administration is saying no. major garrett is at the white house, where officials are

considering other aid for iraq. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there is deep concern in the white house about the fast pace and brutal advance of the al qaeda-inspired insurgents in iraq, but the white house is conflicted over its military options. top intelligence officials will brief the senate armed services committee within the hour about the latest developments. for now, the administration will focus on providing more weapons to the government in iraq. top officials said yesterday al-maliki asked for air strikes against the surgents. then officials said the emphasis would remain on providing weaponry to the iraqi government and there was a deficit effort to down play the possibility of u.s. air strikes. here was the word late last night from white house press secretary josh ernest. we will also continue to provide and as required increase assistance to the government of iraq to help build iraq's capacity to effectively and

sustainable stop isil's efforts to wreak havoc in the region. >> major, thanks. this morning, a historic political upset in virginia is forcing big changes on capitol hill. eric cantor says he will resign his leadership post next month. on tuesday, he lost to a political unknown in a republican congressional primary. on capitol hill where the house gop is preparing for a shakeup. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we already know two lawmakers who want to replace him, including one from california. the election will take place among house republicans one week from today. leaders want to move quickly to avoid any prolonged power struggles. >> effective july 31st i will be stepping down as majority leader. >> reporter: cantor announced he will give up his plum role setting the party's legislative

agenda five months before he officially leaves office. >> we will continue to work and hopefully, the senate will reciprocate so we can get to work. >> reporter: cantor's loss tuesday stunned house republicans, who assumed he would be the next house speaker. >> who do you think should be the next majority leader? >> i have no idea. >> reporter: the race to replace him is well under way. the top contender is already on the leadership team kevin mccarthy from california who has cantor's vote. >> i will be backing him with my full support. >> reporter: pete sessions of texas has also thrown his hat into the ring. he says border security should be at the top of the agenda. >> i think this administration needs to be prodded and reminded that our entire sovereignty of the united states is at risk if we do not secure our border. north, south, east and west. >> reporter: other republicans considered a run, but saw what cantor went through and decided against it. >> democrats said you were too

extreme, conservatives said you were too compromising. what advice do you have with your successor? >> maybe we had it right somewhere in the middle. i think this town should be about trying to strike common ground. >> reporter: leaving leadership as cantor well knows, can sting. you have to give up your enormous suite of offices in the capitol itself looking out on the national mall. not to mention, a number of staffers security and the driver who takes you everywhere you go. >> fascinating, thank you. pakistani officials say a suspected u.s. drone strike killed at least ten people this morning. the attack in northwest pakistan is the second strike in the past 24 hours. at least three militants were killed last night. these are the first apparent drone strikes since christmas, as the pentagon follows stricter rules using the unmanned aircraft. bowe bergdahl is still a burning topic in washington. the house committee asked

defense secretary chuck hagel wednesday why bergdahl was exchanged for guantanamo prisoners without telling congress first. margaret brennan is at the pentagon, where a former senator insists this was the right deal at the right time. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. defense secretary hagel defended the swap saying the risks to sergeant bergdahl grew as the administration negotiated over an intense three days. in fact he said the final decision was made just 96 hours before bergdahl's release, and the location of the swap was unknown until an hour beforehand. >> we had to stay focused on what the objective was, and that was getting an american p.o.w. back, with the reassurances we needed to be able to say it would substantially mitigate the risk, and it was in the interest of our country. >> reporter: as for bergdahl's current status hagel didn't give details, we but did speak

to a woman which she says are messages from bergdahl. this one sent three days before he disappeared. "this life he wrote, is too short to serve those who compromise value and its ethics. i'm done compromising." we did speak to bergdahl's friend who says she's sharing them now, in her words, to protect him. >> margaret thank you. and now to the pentagon scandal you haven't heard about. cbs news is following an investigation into a massive amount of your tax money wasted on the war in afghanistan. chip reid is in washington to show us what the defense department bought and why it's still sitting idle. >> the price tag has been withstanding and we're getting a clearer picture of what was never used and what is being left behind. eight of these inflatable boats were bought by the pentagon in 2010 for $3 million. they were to be used by the

afghan national police to patrol a key river separating afghanistan, but today they sit unused in a navy warehouse in virginia. >> like you gave a credit card to your teenaged daughter or son and then you just never looked at the bills. >> reporter: john was the special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction. what's going to happen to them are they ever going to be used? >> they are probably going to be sold, sold for scrap or sold for pennies on the dollar. >> reporter: more than $100 billion have been allocated for relief and reconstruction, but tracking all that money has been next to impossible. >> we don't even have a list from d.o.d. of where they spent the money. we have no centralized list of where the taxpayer money went in afghanistan. >> reporter: he points to other examples, such as an estimated $600 million for these never-used c-27 aircraft sitting on runways in kabul and germany. and this massive $34 million

command center in helmand. >> it is the best constructed building i have seen in afghanistan and will probably be leveled. >> reporter: leveled, never used? >> never used. the afghans can't use it they can't maintain it. >> reporter: the department of defense say they strive to ensure every reconstruction project is executed in a manner that demonstrated responsible stewardship of taxpayers' dollars, working in a wartime environment such as afghanistan brings with it many challenges and we continually seek to improve our processes. he says the pentagon is now being very cooperative with his investigations. congress has also now asked the pentagon for an itemized list for all spending. charlie? >> thanks. the search is on this morning for the killer of a catholic priest in arizona. another priest is critically hurt. the attack appears to be the result of a botched robbery. and a rare tv interview with

pope francis proves again this morning he's willing to stray from tradition. on monday francis talked to an israeli journalist. they talked about his modern take on the papacy including his rejection of the closed pope-mobile, which was created after the attempted assassination of john paul ii in 1981. he explained the decision in his native spanish, saying i am not going to greet people and tell them that i love them from the inside of a sardine can, even if it's made of glass, it's a wall and i can't live that way. the 77 year old then joked saying besides, at my age, i don't have much to lose. francis never expected to be elected pope. in fact, he said he went to the conclave with a very small suitcase expecting to return to argentina as soon as possible. while one might think he'd be rooting for his world country in

the world cup, francis says he's staying neutral. brazil made the request and he said he's keeping his word. >> and the pope did record a video message to be played before today's opening match. he says football can teach important lessons that can help overcome greed and racism. investigators are studying surveillance video of a couple who went on a deadly shooting rampage in las vegas. the video shows the final moments of jared and amanda miller's lives. they are on the floor of a walmart as officers closed in. police now say amanda miller did not kill her husband. >> in regards to our male suspect, the cause and manner of death ruled by the coroner is a homicide as a result of police gunfire. >> the millers killed two officers and a walmart customer on sunday. police say detectives talked to the millers three times earlier this year once in connection with threats to the indiana

department of motor vehicles. oregon police say jared padgett was heavily armed. he carried an assault rifle, handgun, and knife into a school in portland tuesday. a teacher was wounded in the attack. padgett then killed himself, but there is no apparent link between padgett and his victim 14-year-old emilio hoffman. kevin roper pleaded not guilty yesterday to vehicular homicide and assault by auto. investigators are looking into whether his long commute to his home in georgia to his job in delaware played a role in saturday's crash. the accident killed one man. federal investigators this morning are looking into possible air bag problems in more than 1 million vehicles. three people suffered minor injuries after being hit by parts when air bags ruptured. the air bags are made by takata corporation. the government says they are

used in vehicles made by honda, nissan, mazda, chrysler and toyota from model years 2002 through 2006. the world cup begins at 1:00 p.m. pacific, but just in the last hour brazilian police clashed with protesters. officers in sao paulo fired tear gas at dozens of demonstrators angry about the cost of the stadium and ticket prices. a cbs news crew was kaugts in the commotion, but everyone is okay. there are concerns the stadium may not be ready for the crowds. in sao paulo with what to expect. >> reporter: good morning. here at the stadium, security is tight. the players, meanwhile, are keeping their focus on the field, but ahead of team usa's first game monday their coach is already making headlines. at a press conference wednesday, u.s. coach jurgen klinsmann gave his honest assessment of team

usa's chances in brazil. >> i think for us now talking about winning a world cup is just not realistic. >> reporter: klinsmann was hired by u.s. soccer in 2011. a former star player he was part of west germany's 1990 world cup winning team. >> jurgen klinsmann came in in 2011 with the promise of completely changing the u.s. soccer program. >> reporter: sports illustrated writer grant wall has covered the last four world cups. he says as a coach, klinsmann is managing expectations. >> that's his european side talking. >> reporter: klinsmann shocked the soccer world when he cut landon donovan, a veteran of three world cups who holds the american record for goals scored. >> he dings it in and it's goal number 50! >> reporter: the team klinsmann helped create is now facing the so-called group of death. the americans will play power houses portugal and germany, but first they must face ghana, who knocked the u.s. out of the last

two world cups. define success for team usa now. >> i think no matter who your opponents are in the world cup, the u.s. is expected to advance from the group. >> usa, usa! >> reporter: as for coach klinsmann, u.s. soccer is giving him plenty of wiggle room. he's been signed through 2018 the year of the next world cup. >> all right, thank you. well i still want the u.s. team to do well. >> i do too. maybe if it's not realistic. >> maybe he's managing expectations. >> that's what they suggested, that's a coaching strategy. >> coaching strategy. we'll be watching. and it's 7:19. ahead this morning, we'll look at headlines from around the globe. plus the bizarre plot that cost wealthy low clouds and fog sweeping well onshore today, but it is going to clear up. looking over san jose right now, we have some cloudy skies, the winds have been kicking up around the bay area. going to be breezy throughout

form of entertainment. >> were most people surprised by the verdict? >> i can say we were shocked. we can, of course remember back to the newspaper coverage where we would see those photographs and it looked like it was split by racial lines, that you had african-american people cheering and caucasian people look like they were crying. but the truth is for us those of us who had covered that trial day in and day out, that when that jury had come back in four hours, then they impounded the verdict until the following morning, there was no doubt that that verdict was going to come in -- >> -- not guilty. >> that was what was so shocking. >> isn't that what upset people that after nine months of listening to evidence you come back after four hours. how can people take it seriously if you come back in four hours. >> i remember saying a n a lot of cases it takes a jury three

million. to any visiting tourist, london must have looked like one big taxi stand. but these taxis, around 12,000 of them weren't for hire. they were here to be heard. >> it's not competing. what they're doing is illegal. >> reporter: they are youuber, a san francisco-based company whose new app allows you to hail a cab with a few clicks on your phone. the illegal bit, accord inging to the cabbies, it allows users to calculate the cost of the journey, essentially doing the job of a meter which in britain only black cabs are allowed to use. it's technology that drivers say may put passengers at risk from unlicensed taxis. uber says it is a change that is long overdue. >> essentially we're disrupting an industry that hasn't been disrupted in many years, decades even in many markets, so often that can be a bit uncomfortable for the incumbents. however, we believe xecompetition

bulldog: [yawn] i just had a dream i was at mattress discounters with tempur-pedic and the largest selection of memory foam mattresses under one roof! icomfort, by serta... optimum, by posturepedic...

ahh! comforpedic by beautyrest... ooh! 48 months interest-free financing, free delivery and queen-size memory foam mattress sets as low as $697! that's more mattresses than you can shake a bone at. ♪ mattress discounters ♪ in our "morning rounds" today fat in a healthy diet eat butter is the cover story in the new issue of "time" magazine. decades of low hn-fat diets have coincided with soaring rates of obesity and diabetes.

it could mean the conventional wisdom about fat is going through a meltdown. bryan walsh is senior he hadeditor at "time" magazine and did some great reporting for this cover story. so let's break it down, bryan. starting in the 1970s doctors told us essentially to cut out a lot of saturated fat to prevent heart disease. but after delving into the science, what have we found that we should eat but thor? >> well, it's a bit more complicated than that. we talked to a lot of doctors, to nutritionists. when the low-fat message became mainstream in the '70s and more in the '80s the hope was people would switch to healthier foods, fruits and vegetables. things like that. one docktor told me that turned out to be naive. people switched to very high carb diets. we saw calories go up and it turns out that those carbs are worse for us when it comes to obesity, diabetes than saturated fat the ever was. >> with the vilification of fat we substituted those calories with high carbs, high sugar foods and that has led to the soaring obesity rate. >> a diet of unintended

consequences. we probably would have been much better off had we worried not so much about fat but what kinds of foods we're eating rather than trying to get down to a certain level of a nutrient. >> i'm so sick of research. either eat fat, don't eat fat, eat this kind of fat, go this way, do the hokie pokey, turn yourself around. what exactly should we be doing now? >> this is good news for you. it's not about new reserarch telling to you do a certain kind of diet. it's telling you worry less. worry less about up how much fat is in your diet. worry less about he is actually where those nutrients are coming from. focus more on real food whole food food. >> how of can we eat, fat and butter can we or should we be eating? >> right now the usda guidelines are about 10% for saturated fat and i think that's low unless you're willing to go to some very ex traemtreme kind of diet. the mediterranean diet foecuses on fish, nuts, whole fruits, vegetables, things like that can have up to 40% of your calories coming from fat, a different

kind of fat. people have had a lot of success with low carb diets and those have high levels of high saturated fat. it's what feels best for you and the food you get is real and not fast food not processed food. >> you said that what caused a problem shifted to things like pasta. is pasta always bad for you? >> no, pasta is not always bad for you. almost nothing is really always bad for you. unfortunately, it wasn't just pasta people switched to. it was things like snackwell's cookies, advertised they were low fat but it turns out instead of fat you had a lot of sugar, a lot of preservatives, things like that. that's definitely worse off for you. >> and it is true that a nice steak, eggs, butter can all be good for you in certain moderation. >> protein. >> protein, yes. >> thank you, bri kwan. >> really interesting, thank you. and it's the shopping guide being compared to an encyclopedia. we'll look at the controversy over a catalog mailing with more

than 3,000 pages. the did you get one of these? it's like a door stop as you see. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: cbs "morning rounds" sponsored by advil p.m. when pain keeps you up at night, advil p.m. gives you the healing sleep you need. pm gives you the healing sleep you need. so your body can heal as you rest. advil pm. for a healing night's sleep. ♪ ♪ boring! yeah! ♪ if you want to see old faithful ♪ ♪ don't be such a couch potato ♪ ♪ yeah just go check out the thing for yourself ♪ highlander! ♪ we ain't got no room for boring ♪ ♪ ferdy gerdy ferdy ger boom! ♪ [ cluck, cluck ] ♪ no, we ain't got no room ♪ ♪ for boring ♪ ♪ for boring we ain't got no room ♪ ahh!

. a really popular home service chain is the talk of the

town this morning. it's getting a heavy response to its supersized catalog collection. why so many people are weighing in. >> they are. people are used to companies sending multiple catalog throughout the year but restoration hardware decided to send all of their catalogs in one mailing in an effort to be more environmentallyvieshlt environmentally conscious. it's sparked a backlash throughout social media. one twitter user posted this photo calling the catalogs a waste. another person shared the same sentiment with a simple message. fail. and 42 residents at one parent complex built three mini towers all which were headed for the recycling bin. this weighs about six pounds. they compare it to the novel

of people talked to a lot of people, did an interview and talked with cancer survivors and you try to put yourself in their shoes. when i wrote dabny, thought, she's fabulous how would i deal with finding out i had cancer so i wrote dabny in some ways in the way i thought i'd handle it. >> did you handle it that way? >> the answer is no. my diagnosis came three weeks ago. i'm having a double maectomy tomorrow. >> tomorrow. >> it's been very very fast. all i can say is nobody prepares you for it and i have so many friends and such wonderful family, but the interesting thing that you find out is that you're alone in your body. your body is yours and nobody else can really take it from you. >> elin, so many of my friends have read your books and i have. mutual friends retail said you were coming on the show.

what has this changed for you? this is just three weeks ago you got this diagnosis. >> it's really put a lot of things in perspective. it turns you into an existential thinker. nobody thinks so. today, yes, i love my life i love everything about it and so to think about it coming to an end is very scarey. >> he had pancreatic cancer and you have breast cancer. >> exactly right. >> if you were writing it today, how would she be different? >> that's impossible to understand. high first novel i wrote has a character that loses a child and

i wrote that novel before i had children and when i go back and read it, i thought, how did i even right that novel without understanding. so it would be similar. >> you have written that everything becomes precious. like you want to make sure you want to appreciate a cry at your son throwing a strike. why is the threat of losing life is what makes us come to appreciating life. >> exactly right. >> good question. >> that is the question that dabny answers and i'm asking myself. i have three children. >> #mamastrong. >> my 8-year-old daughter invented it. #mamastrong. >> you said you're having a double mastectomy and i instantly choke up a little bit. what do you think? will you look at your body? will you reminisce? what will you do to prepare.

>> it's so funny. i'm not a large breasted woman, sorry, charlie. i nursed my three kids and wish i was bigger. today i appreciate what i have because i have to give it up tomorrow and i'm going to have a little bit of an enhancement. that's exciting for me the silver lining. but it is hard to give up that part of your body. it's hard to thing about -- i'm certainly not the first woman to have breast cancer but to think about something invadeing your body that you didn't know was there. i'm terrified of surgery. >> but you wanted your readers know you're going through this. >> upper-level low. >> we're pulling for you. >> can we see mama strong? >> she goes like this. mama strong.
