americans. >> captured and coming to america. >> u.s. officials believe that this is a picture of ahmed abu khattala. >> the man believed to be the mastermind of the deadly attack on the u.s. consulate in ben gauzy, now aboard a u.s. ship in the mediterranean. >> large tornado. >> another twister struck nebraska about 45 miles from pilger. >> a line of severe weather moved from the plains east overnight threatening another day of potentially damaging weather. >> isis continues its advance towards baghdad. >> militants now control about 75% of iraq's largest oil refinery. >> the iranian president saying he's ready to help the shiite shiite-controlled iraqi government. >> a mother is behind bars charged with poisoning her young son. >> she knew the grand jury was going on. she really didn't show any emotion. a california mayor stepping down over a dog dropping scandal. he was caught tossing a small

welcome to "cbs this morning." norah o'donnell is off. good morning, gayle. >> good morning, charlie. president obama will brief congressional leaders today on his response to iraq's spiraling violence. house speaker john boehner, nancy pelosi senator majority leader harry reid and mitch mcconnell will attend the white house meeting. >> administration officials tell cbs news the president will make the case for sending a limited number of special forces to iraq. he has not made a decision on ordering air strikes. the president wants better intelligence reports on the lkdsal qaeda-inspired insurgents known as isis and the strength of iraqi forces they are battling. iran's president vows that his country will protect them in iraq. iranian citizens are signing up to put the terrorists in their place. the isis army is threatening shiite holy sites. this morning those militants control 75% of iraq's largest

oil refinery. clarissa ward is in baghdad where violence is on the rise. clarissa good morning. >> reporter: good morning. islamic militants have been pounding that refinery all morning with mortars. if they do successfully take the entire facility, we could be looking at massive power outages, long lines for gas. this in a country that is already on the edge of chaos. militants continued their bloody bombing campaign in baghdad, hitting a crowded market in the shiite stronghold of satar city killing 12. a powerful explosion took place here, this resident said. i have never seen such a horrific blast before. the streets of baghdad are full of security forces as fighters with the al qaeda splinter group isis threaten the capital. and thousands of shiites have volunteered to join sectarian militias. rallies like these are now a daily occurrence.

these fighters told us they consider it a sacred duty to defend their city. general saad ma'an is a ministry, the department in charge of iraq's internal security. >> the strategy is clear, our goal is to embrace our cities. >> reporter: he denies iraq is in the midst of a sectarian civil war and that arming shiite volunteers is a dangerous idea. >> when you create these shiite militias, it reignites those old sectarian tensions. >> we don't have militias. >> you could have mi militias. >> we must embrace iraq and iraq for sunni and for shia. >> reporter: many fear that that new wave of sectarian killings has already begun. last night in a government-controlled police station in baqouba, the bodies

of 44 sunni prisoners were found, all of them had gunshots to the head or to the chest. gayle. >> clarissa thank you. please be careful. thank you very much. now to the major break in the benghazi investigation. u.s. intelligence officials this morning are questioning a man accused of plotting the deadly attack on the american consulate in libya. he is the first person arrested in connection with the assault 21 months ago. >> the suspect will be brought to this country and put on public trial. bob orr is in washington where officials say the arrest was in the works for a year. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well right after the benghazi attacks in september, 2012, ahmed abu khattala openly met with a number of reporters and taunted officials saying if i'm a suspect, then come and get me. well, sunday night, u.s. special operations forces did just that. u.s. officials believe this is a photo of ahmed abu khattala a libyan islamic militant who prosecutors say helped orchestrate the attacks on u.s.

facilities in benghazi. on sunday u.s. intelligence tracked him to a small seaside villa south of benghazi. after dark commandos and fbi agents silently converged on the home and quickly captured khattala without firing a shot. no one was hurt. >> it's important for us to send a message to the world that when americans are attacked no matter how long it takes, we will find those responsible and we will bring them to justice. >> reporter: khattala is now aboard a u.s. navy ship in the mediterranean, where he's being interrogated by a special intelligence team. pentagon spokesman admiral john kirby said khattala's capture was not made public until tuesday to preserve the integrity of the criminal case against him. >> we had to also make sure that those involved that their security and safety was looked after as well. >> reporter: khattala, believed to be a senior leader of the radical islamist group, was

secretly charged by federal prosecutors last july for his alleged role in the attacks which killed four americans. ambassador christopher stevens, state department official shawn smith, and security contractors tyrone woods and glenn doherty. >> our diplomats serve with incredible courage and valor in some very difficult situations. they need to know that this country has their back and will always go after anybody who goes after us. >> reporter: law enforcement sources say other islamic radicals have also been charged in the case but details remain sealed. 21 months after the u.s. consulate was overrun, only khattala is in custody. senior administration officials say khattala was often surrounded in recent months by militia, so they were waiting for a time when his defenses might be down to make their move. now, once that intelligence interrogation at sea is concluded, khattala will be read his rights and then turned over to federal prosecutors.

he could face the death penalty if ultimately convicted. charlie. also in washington cbs news senior security analyst mike morell, he was deputy cia director at the type of the benghazi attack mike good morning. >> good morning, charlie. good morning gayle. >> good morning. >> what is the significance of this arrest and what might we learn from him? >> i think the president's point about nobody gets away with killing americans, no matter how long it takes to find them is the most significant. it sends a message to anybody who might do this that we'll find you. that is the most significant. in terms of intelligence i think there's three things that we want to learn. one is we want to find out whether an sar al sharia is plotting any additional attacks right now. i think that's the first line of questioning for him. the second line of questioning is who else was involved in the benghazi attack and where are they. and the third line of questioning, we'll try to get at some of those unanswered

benghazi questions. what motivated these guys how much preplanning, how much organization was there. i think those are the three lines of questioning that he'll be going through. >> is there suspicion that he was in fact the mastermind of this? >> so the suspicion is that he was one of the leaders, not that he was the mastermind. but, you know, there's a lot about this we don't know so he could turn out to be more significant. but right now it's felt that he was one of the leaders, not the leader. >> how confident are you, mike that the u.s. will get the information they need? what if he says look i'm not talking. i have nothing to say. >> you don't know. i don't know what's going on right now. but the fbi is pretty good at developing rapport with these guys and getting information from them. so i think the more -- the longer he spends at sea, the less he's talk. the faster he gets to washington and gets charged, the more he

has talked. i think that will be the signal. >> let me turn to iraq. you said to me last night this is the worst situation since the 1973 war. why is it that serious? when we look at the increasing sectarian conflict reported by clarissa ward and others, it's getting to be a very bloody battle. >> i think it's the most dangerous because we are at risk of losing iraq. iraq is at risk of breaking into three pieces. and one of those pieces if this happens, will be an al qaeda safe haven from which they will conduct attacks against the united states of america and against western europe. the other reason it is such a breakup would be so bad, charlie, is because there would be a risk of a spillover to the rest of the region in terms of redrawing the lines there as well. >> i want to get this for sure. so what does the united states do? what is necessary for the united

states to do in terms of equipment and men on the ground? >> so the best outcome here charlie, the best outcome here as we talked about last night is a diplomatic solution where you bring all the sides together and you form a new government without maliki. a new government for all iraqis. that takes an awful lot of pressure on all the sides, and i think it takes some u.s. military support on the ground which will give us more credibility in that diplomatic argument. and i think that is u.s. special forces on the ground advising and assisting, i think that it's intelligence support. those are the two keys, i think. >> all right, mike. so you're saying congress should support the president's request today if he makes it? >> i think so. >> thank you, mike morell for joining us this morning. tens of millions from the upper midwest to the northeast are under threat of severe storms this morning. they could bring tornados. part of nebraska are dealing with more than tornado damage this morning. one twister touched down in

colerinlcole coleridge yesterday, just north of where a pair of tornados killed two people monday in pilger. up to 50 homes were destroyed there. in the southwest powerful winds are spreading a wildfire. flames continue to threaten navajo communities in new mexico. meteorologist megan glaros of wbbm is tracking this morning's severe weather. good morning to you and good morning to our viewers in the west. if you're traveling east today, there's a huge chunk of the country which is under a risk for severe weather. it extends from the canadian border all the way down to the mexican border and almost all the way on up to the east coast. we're talking about the plains states, the midwest and muchlt of the midatlantic at risk for severe winds, large hail and isolated tornados. while we stay dry in the west heat builds in some areas. we're talking about a high temperature of 101 in phoenix, 78 degrees for santa fe. you'll start off with cloudy conditions in los angeles with the june gloom but that will burn off to a high of about 76 degrees in l.a.

74 degrees for portland. if you head to casper or billings, the temperature there should top the 60s. denver, right around 81. >> megan, thanks. general motors' ceo mary barra is back in the congressional hot seat. a hearing is getting under way right now. lawmakers plan to question her about the troubling findings in the company's sbernlt reportinternal report on faulty ignition switches. they want to know why insiders new about the defect while barra did not. cbs news got an early look at her opening statement. barra is expected to say, quote, i am not going to accept business as usual as gm. in the wake of the whyinhouse review they fired 15 employees and hired 35 product safety investigators. another figure faced tough questions from congress. television personality dr. oz spent hours in front of lawmakers tuesday. nancy cordes is on capitol hill, where the doctor was scolded about his comments on weight loss products. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you and our viewers in the west.

essentially senators accused dr. oz of hyping products on his show based on shoddy science. they argue that contributes to a cottage industry that preys on gullible americans who are desperate to lose weight. >> do you believe there's a magic weight loss cure out there? >> reporter: senators questioned the celebrity doctor for nearly two hours tuesday. >> i know you feel that you're a victim but sometimes conduct invites being a victim. and i think if you would be more careful, maybe you wouldn't be victimized quite as frequently. >> reporter: they criticized the talk show host for describing untested weight loss supplements as magical or miraculous. >> fiber called alphacyclodextrine. it's called adiponectin. it could be the simple solution you're looking for to bust your body fat for good. >> reporter: dr. oz said he stopped using those over-the-top terms but that retailers still twist his words to sell their products online.

>> i use flowery language. i used language that was very passionate but ended up not being helpful but incendiary and it provided fodder for unscrupulous advertisers. i have not been talking about products in that way for two years, and it has not changed at all what i'm seeing on the internet. frankly, it's getting worse. >> reporter: but committee chair claire mccaskill pointed to more recent offenses to argue oz hasn't completely reformed his ways. >> in january you called forskolin. >> lightning in a bottle. >> she called the sale of fraudulent health supplements a crisis in consumer protection and challenged the influential host to be a bigger part of the solution. >> if you think all of a sudden i can take a pill and still have a kielbasa that's not the right knowledge and not what i intend to convey but it can be con construed that way if you don't watch the entire segment. i've got to pick my words carefully enough that i'm not

being taken out of context. >> reporter: beyond embarrassing dr. oz there's very little that congress can do in this arena. it is the federal trade commission's job to go after online scams and even they gayle, can only scratch the surface. >> all right. thank you, nancy. in brazil team usa is still flying high this morning after monday's world cup win, and a growing number of fans are along for the ride. nearly 16 million americans watched on tv as the u.s. beat ghana. that number does not include everybody who was watching at work, in the bar or at outdoor events. y lane quijano is in rio de janeiro where thousands of traveling americans are loud and proud. good morning. >> reporter: well good morning. americans outside of brazil americans are the largest buyer of tickets for this year's world cup. nearly 200,000 seats.

enthusiasm and pride for team usa is swelling after their stirring world cup victory on monday night over ghana. >> it was just an incredible feeling. the support we had from the fans in the stadium along with the fans in every corner of the country, we felt that. >> reporter: when the americans took back the lead late in the game, twitter activity in the u.s. exploded. >> you look at you know your instagram and twitter and you hear the -- you see the videos that people posted their reactions at the bars pubs and it's just awesome. we're part of this movement i guess, growing soccer in the states, so it's really cool. >> reporter: even vice president joe biden made his way to the locker room after the game to speak with the players and show his support. >> are you kidding me? this is a kick man. >> reporter: team usa was back on the practice field in sao paulo yesterday afternoon. head coach jurgen klinsmann, who once downplayed his young team's

chances is suddenly bullish. >> we only talk about how to beat this portugal team with all the amazing players that we have. we elieve in it. we believe that we can go and beat them. >> reporter: but portugal is the fourth ranked team in the world, which boasts a string of star players, including arguably the best player on the planet kris yaunwn owe ronaldo. a victory over portugal on sunday would be a stunner and also a sign that perhaps american soccer has arrived. >> we are the united states and >> reporter: the u.s. takes on portugal on sunday. temperatures on game day are expected to reach the 90s. gayle. >> it's okay it looks like they'll be ready. thank you, elaine. it is now 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning" we'll check the headlines around the globe, including a new investigation into deadly plane

in our "g in our "morning rounds," a story you'll see only on "cbs this morning." a young mother of three is suing a new york hospital. she claims she was give an cesarean section against her will. the rate of c-section deliveries in this country leveled off after climbing more than a decade. now nearly a third of babies are still delivered that way. the rate is double the number recommended by the world health organization. dr. holly phillips sat down with the mother who says she did not have a choice. holly, good morning. >> good morning, gayle. despite the statistics showing overuse, there are many times c-section deliveries are appropriate and lifesaving. but the fundamental question this case raises is if doctors believe a c-section is the best option for a mother and baby can a woman be given one against her will?

the answer is unequivocally no. this 35-year-old is the mother of three boys. her first two were delivered by cesarean section which involved difficult recoveries. so in 2011 she was determined to have joseph naturally through a procedure called vaginal birth after cesarean or v-back. it carries risk but often can be performed successfully. but after several hours of labor, her doctor pushed back. >> and he says, it doesn't matter good progress. i don't think it's going to be natural. i don't have the whole day. >> she says she felt her doctor was being impatient as he continued to pressure her to have a c-section right away warning her her uterus would rupture and her baby would be at risk. >> and he pushed me into the operation. i said don't do it i feel my baby, everything's fine don't do it. his answer was just don't

speak. >> ultimately, when you went into your c-section, had you given consent? >> no. i never did. >> she is suing the hospital and doctors claiming negligence mal practice, and lack of informed consent. >> since her earlier stages. >> michael bast is her attorney. he provided the doctor's handwritten note from her medical file spelling out his concerns. the fetus is at risk for serious harm without the c-section and for the mother benefits outweigh risk. senior hospital staff signed off on the c-section. her attorney says the smoking gun for her case is also in the notes. >> "i have decided to override her refusal to have a c-section." the mother has the right. it is ethically wrong. it is medically wrong. it is always wrong to take a knife and stick it into a woman when she says no.

>> staten island university hospital says it does not comment on pending litigation but supports a mother's decision to have a vaginal birth after c-section and have an overall c-section rate of 22%, well below the state average. still, experts say hospitals may lack legal and ethical footing in circumstances like these. even when acting in the best interest of the mother and baby. art caplan is a bioethicist at nyu langone medical center. >> the doctor can ska ka joel persuade, argue, do everything in their power to get the woman to change her mind but they should not ever do a procedure, even with the fetus in trouble, against the will of the mother. >> she would like to grow her family of three boys but she says given birth scares her now. >> to be treated this way. >> she also says her bladder was harmed in the c-section delivery

and she's seeking unspecified damages. >> very complicated case on both sides. i was struck by the lawyer who said you cannot stick a knife in a woman if she says no. what's the doctor to do though when he feels that something is dangerous? >> right. well, you know, in her case again, we haven't heard from the hospital and i really appreciate her sharing her story with us so we don't know what the doctors actually thought at that time. regardless, a doctor can talk about risks, a doctor could say i believe you're in harm's way, i believe the baby's in harm's way, i believe a c-section is the right thing to do but ultimately the mother has the choice to consent to the surgery or not. >> and she didn't want it in this case. >> and she made it clear it sounds like. >> yes. so it's a very very interesting case. it just really raises so many ideas about women's rights in the operating room and delivery. >> thank you. dr. holly phillips. we'll look at how networks like this one are taking on new

and they see the phone as gateway to customer retention and attraction. but right now, you know there are the two platforms throughout because when you buy a cell phone you're not just buying hardware but software that gives you a contract and that contract is dominated by two platforms. apple with ios and google with android. they serve as a middle man and they want out of that prisoner's dilemma and they see the phone as a way of being out of it. >> they call it an everything stofrmt why amazon? is that surprisetology you? >> not surprising because jeff bezos said that he wants a piece of every single transaction on the internet. that's very bold. probably impossible, but that's what he's going for and the phone for him is just like we're hearing in the telecom industry. it's about bundling. being able to offer bundled services to in his kasz amazon

prime customers, the people who pay for everything from free streaming music to original con tenth to two-day shipping. so he thinks the phone can bundle those services and, again, give him greater relationship with his customer. >> and ads you know mellody, everybody's getting in everybody's business out there. >> that's exactly right. and you have to wonder. if you're a big, big retail out there, walmart or if you're costco you're looking at this and you're probably pretty concerned because you're saying to yourself is the phone the new modern-day credit card? amazon is doing that. you're right. everything is changing so quickly. >> what do you think many means for the customer ultimately? >> i think more competition is always better for a consumer. amazon has admitted in the past. they're illing to lose to win. that could destabilize things in this market as they price their

phone to get market share and ultimately the customers can ben fitz from that. >> all right. melodie hobson. always good to see you. broadcast and cable networks face a growing competitor onlineita nair is here with that crowded field. good morning. >> good morning. there was a time cable shows weren't even considered but now they dominate every category. one is determined to gnome nate this week. even an actress told us she feels like an underdog. >> reporter: when "breaking bad" took the award for outstanding series it marked the second year in a row that a network for television wasn't even nominated. the now familiar trend of shows from cable best in broadcast television, began back in 2004 when hbo's the sopranos won the
