fantastic. >> are you going somewhere? >> no. just wanted to say it. >> it's been so much fun. >> thanks. right back atcha! [ laughter ] good morning to our viewers in the west. it is thursday, june 19th 2014. welcome to "cbs this morning." a battle rages for iraq's key old refinery. the white house signals the need for a leadership change in baghdad. plus dr. david agus on the new discovery that could protect you from heart attacks. and an 11-year-old girl tees off at the u.s. open but a top player says she's too young to play. we begin this morning with a look at today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> iraqi forces and sunni militants are engaged in a tense battle for control of iraq's largest oil refinery. >> isis gains ground in iraq as battle lines are drawn in
7:01 am
washington. >> intelligence agencies are trying to identify possible targets for limited air strikes. >> it's not as easy as looking at an iphone video of a convoy and then immediately striking it. >> twisters struck a small town in central south dakota. homes and businesses were damaged and one person injured. >> meanwhile, the heat is on for two-thirds of the country. washington, d.c., had temperatures that climbed well into the 90s. >> they have been trapped underground 12 days. >> a southwest airlines flight was forced into an emergency landing after it struck a flock of birds shortly after takeoff. >> done! he's done it! >> clayton kershaw pitches a no-hitter. >> there's just so much going on i can't explain it. >> chile knocked off defending champ spain. >> before that match, chilean without tickets busted into the
7:02 am
stadium. >> amazon introduced its own smartphone. after you hang up with someone, the phone suggests other people you might want to call. >> pick your booty up make your calves long and -- high heels on a woman. >> i mean i can work out all day. >> and all that matters. >> the u.s. patent office ruled the washington redskins name is disparaging to native americans and cancelled the team's trademarks. >> it's just a matter of time before daniel snyder is forced to do the right thing and change the name. >> on "cbs this morning." >> hillary clinton says she has not yet decided to run for president in 2016. >> all she knows, she's doing town halls on her nationwide book tour with a giant bus that says "ready for hillary." it could mean anything. >> this morning's eye-opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. captioning funded by cbs ted by toyota. let's go places.
7:03 am
captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning, charlie. >> we begin in iraq. the newest challenge to iraq's embattled government comes from washington. the obama administration and key lawmakers are suggesting this morning that iraq's prime minister should resign. >> meanwhile, sunni muslim militants are advancing into new territory. iraq's largest oil refinery is at the center of the battle. holly williams is in erbil tracking the sunni uprising. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. iraqi officials are denying reports that they have lost control of the country's biggest oil refinery and instead claim that they killed 70 militants there, losing control of that complex would be yet another blow for iraq's besieged government, which depends on oil revenues. internet videos show smoke billowing where the militants claim they have taken control of the oil refinery. and in this video, also posted online, they're seen parading
7:04 am
triumphantly through the town. other sources say the battle for the baiji refinery is still raging. 60 miles north outside the city of kirkuk kurdish fighters are also taking on the militants. but as in baiji, there's something else at stake here. kirkuk is rich in oil and a prize for whoever captures it. when the militants first swept through this region last week, iraqi soldiers abandoned their posts, leaving northern iraq to descend into chaos. the kurdish fighters are well disciplined. >> where's isis? how much further down the road? >> reporter: but their goal is to protect their own region in the northeast and win control of oil supplies, not to push the militants out of iraq for good. just outside of kirkuk, and this is the last safe checkpoint along in road the men here are telling us that the militants are just over there in the mountains. but they were content to hold them back rather than confront
7:05 am
them. with different groups in iraq fighting for their own interests, kurdish leader jauad mohammed told us all-out civil war may be unavoidable without u.s. intervention. we need u.s. air strikes before the militants make it to baghdad, he said. they cannot let them reach baghdad. many other iraqis oppose u.s. air strikes but nearly everyone we've spoken to here fears that their country is rushing towards a bloody civil war. charlie. >> holly, thanks. american aircraft are flying around the clock surveillance missions this morning over iraq and the obama administration is considering iraq's request for air strikes against the sunni militants. bill plante is at the white house where the president conferred with leaders from both parties. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, and good morning to our viewers in the west. this all comes as the u.s. is urging the iraqis to form a more inclusive government, and u.s. officials are saying that they
7:06 am
will make clear what attributes iraq's leaders need. now that is code for saying that the u.s. believes iraq would be better off without its current prime minister neuroal maliki. the president talked to the leadership yesterday. after the meeting, the white house said that the president reviewed options for increased security assistance something joint chiefs chairman martin dempsey told congress the iraqis have been pushing for. >> we have a request from the iraqi government for air power. >> we do? >> we do. >> reporter: at the white house, outgoing press secretary jay carney repeated the administration position that a political reconciliation is what's needed. >> there is no military solution that will sustainably solve iraq's problems. any consideration of military action must be informed by the situation on the ground and the objectives to be obtained as well as the consequences of its use. >> reporter: prior to the meeting, house speaker john boehner said that he was looking to the white house for a plan to keep the gains secured by years
7:07 am
of u.s. military involvement in the region. >> the president needs to outline an overall strategy for success, and i'm hopeful that today in our meeting i'll hear from him. >> reporter: the leaders departed without talking to reporters, but in a statement, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell blamed the weakness of iraqi security forces on the president's withdrawal of u.s. troops without what he called a u.s. presence capable of preserving our gains and mentoring our partners. in a morning speech on the senate floor, majority leader harry reid spoke out against said mcconnell and his supporters were distorting history. >> would they have preferred that our soldiers stayed in iraq? in harm's way? what has been taking place in iraq? it's a civil war. >> reporter: senator reid declined to share any of the specific details of the meeting afterward, but senate majority leader mitch mcconnell did tell reporters off camera that the
7:08 am
president indicated to them he did not expect to need congressional authority for any steps that he might take but he did pledge to consult with congress as he got closer to a decision. >> all right, bill thank you. and severe storms around the great lakes this morning bring the potential for tornados and flash flooding. a south dakota town is counting the damage from a direct hit after a third day of twisters in the central u.s. wednesday's storm destroyed three businesses and a dozen homes in wessington springs. one person suffered minor injuries. in ohio strong winds tore up roots and knocked down trees, crushing cars. tens of thousands of homes lost power. meanwhile scorching heat will bake the southwest, southern plains southeast today. temperatures will hit the 90s from texas to the carolinas. facebook says it's working at 100% this morning after a worldwide outage overnight. the social network crashed for about half an hour. users got a message reading sorry, something went wrong. facebook says it fixed the
7:09 am
problem quickly but did not say what caused the temporary shutdown. the nfl's washington redskins say this morning they will fight the newest threat to the team's controversial name and logo. the u.s. patent office cancelled the team's trademark registration wednesday. a judge ruled the long-time nickname insults native americans. jan crawford is at fedex field in landover, maryland the redskins home stadium. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. this ruling does not mean that the redskins are going to have to change their name but at some point it could affect the team's bottom line and the control it has over its merchandise. on the practice field, the washington redskins tried to stay out of the controversy over the name and logo they were wearing. >> that's way over my head man. i can't comment on that. >> our job as players is to focus on what we can on this field day in and day out and let the league and people take care of that stuff. >> reporter: but the government's decision to cancel the redskins' trademark rocked the sports world and sent washington fans into a frenzy of
7:10 am
speculation. >> is this the beginning of the end for the name of the football team? >> i mean you would have to assume so. >> reporter: or maybe not. it's rare for the government to cancel a trademark because a group finds it derogatory, and the redskins have fought this battle before. the trademark office made a similar ruling against the team 15 years ago. the organization appealed and won. the team attorney predicted the same outcome this time saying we are confident we will prevail once again. that legal battle could take years, and even if the team eventually lost trademark experts say it has other legal avenues to keep people from selling unlicensed merchandise. >> i would not take this as a green light to go out there and start printing fake redskins jerseys and going out and selling them. >> reporter: but the ruling is likely to increase pressure on the team politically. in congress 50 senators have signed a letter urging the redskins to find another name. even former players say the
7:11 am
ruling could signal a name change is inevitable. >> if it were to change i would totally understand why and i think that the fan base would understand why. i think it might take a little bit of time for a lot of diehards to get over the whole change, but i think that it's such a strong fan base that they would adjust. >> reporter: now, the government cancelling trademarks because some people find the name offensive does raise some free speech concerns, and then what about those other teams that have native american nicknames like, say, the golden state warriors. this could set up a first amendment fight that many are predicting the supreme court eventually will have to resolve. >> jan, thanks. new research this morning finds a single gene may be critical to lowering your heart attack risks. two medical studies identified a gene mutation that affects indicators of heart health. our dr. david agus is in los angeles. doctor, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> tell us more about what these studies tell us.
7:12 am
>> for the last 30 years the way we've treated heart disease is by lowering ldl, which we called the bad cholesterol. now two separate papers in the new england journal of medicine two studies show that triglycerides were just as important. people who had a mutation in one gene called apoc-3 this gene was meant to keep triglycerides up. when it's mutated or turned off, triglycerides go down and heart disease go down pretty dramatically in these people. so we now have for the first time a new target to prevent or delay heart disease. >> so if they can figure out how to duplicate this mutated gene then they're a long way to preventing heart attacks? >> no question about it. there's a drug now in involvement that hits this gene and turns it off and lowers triglycerides in patients. we have yet to see whether it prevents heart attacks, but there's a lot of hope. >> this is fascinating, doctor because we know that heart attacks are the leading killer in the united states. we currently have statins, which help, but there hasn't been a new drug for decades, right?
7:13 am
>> no question about it 600,000 deaths a year. we now have something we can target. and it's really exciting how they came about. historically in medicine we throw out the outliers. the fids ixphysics look at the outliers. there's a group of amish that had very low triglycerides and low heart disease. when they would eat a milk shake their triglycerides wouldn't go up. it was shown in these people this particular gene and we know the exact mechanism and can target it. >> all right thank you so much doctor. and a southwest airlines jet landed safely after hitting a flock of birds near tampa. the birds hit the jet's left wing after taking off yesterday morning. the jet was about four miles from the airport on its way to houston. the plane returned to tampa. no one was injured and the passengers were rebooked on other flights. this morning the faa is rolling out long awaited air traffic technology. it promises to make air travel in and out of the nation's busiest airports safer and more on time.
7:14 am
transportation correspondent jeff pegues is at reagan national airport outside washington. >> reporter: good morning, and good morning to our viewers in the west. the next generation of air travel is something that lawmakers and federal regulators have talked about for some time. now the flying public is expected to see and feel the difference for the first time. the air traffic control center in the houston metropolitan area will be the first of 14 locations nationwide to implement an airspace overhaul known as next gen. it's part of the federal aviation administration's plan to transition air traffic control from radar to satellite. anthony foxx is the secretary of transportation. >> we are always looking for ways to improve safety in our airspace. and we think next generation technology, next gen, is going to do that. it's going to do that because we can track the planes more precisely. it's going to do it because planes will ultimately have more awareness of other planes in the airspace. >> reporter: using satellites will let planes fly more direct
7:15 am
routes. the technology is expected to cut airlines' costly fuel consumption by as much as 3 million gallons a year. passengers may notice the difference by listening to the sound of the engines when a plane comes in for a landing. currently on approach planes level off at certain points. next gen in the houston area will now enable pilots to almost idle the engines while a plane descends at a steady rate. the faa compares it to sliding down a bannister. major airlines support the airspace redesign and have spent hundreds of millions of dollars incorporating the new technology into their planes. but earlier this month, dave barger the ceo of jetblue, expressed concerns that the faa's next gen overhaul wasn't moving fast enough. >> i think there has been progress. we can talk about progress. but we need progress quicker, faster. it's just the technology is there. we need to move it forward. >> reporter: takeoff for next
7:16 am
gen technology has been bumpy. according to an inspector general report released earlier this year found performance short falls as well as cost increases. but the faa is moving forward. they're phasing in the technology. they say that is a process that will take a decade and you'll see this technology in california. >> jeff thank you. one of the favorites has fallen at the world cup in brazil. spain lost its second straight game wednesday. that defeat means the 2010 winner has no chance to repeat as champions. elaine quijano is in rio de janeiro where she's following the american players whose chances are still alive and preparing for their next match. >> reporter: good morning. the americans are hoping to build some momentum after monday night's win against ghana. next up for the u.s. is one of the best teams in the tournament, powerhouse portugal. the americans were given a rare day off on wednesday, a chance to rest their bodies and minds after monday's physical game against ghana.
7:17 am
>> coach klinsmann gave us a day off so it's like we cherish it. spend time with the kids and the family. >> reporter: but their match against a talented portugese team is only three days away. yesterday portugal's soccer superstar, cristiano ronaldo, was seen leaving the practice field early with an ice bag on his knee fueling speculation that he might be unavailable for sunday's showdown. the biggest surprise of the world cup so far is spain's humiliating exit. the number one team in the world is suddenly out of the tournament, just one week after it began. >> the defending champions are out of this world cup on day seven. >> reporter: the spanish were dealt a crushing defeat wednesday, eliminated by the team from chile. >> a score! 2-0 for chile! >> reporter: it's a major disappointment for spain, which was expected to make it much farther than just the first round. but the spanish only managed to
7:18 am
score one goal in the two games they played. before the match had even started, emotions ran high outside rio de janeiro's stadium. chilean fans without tickets stormed through a security checkpoint, trying to get into the match. earlier in the day, the dutch team, which also defeated spain on day two of the tournament, beat the soccer roos of australia. it was a match featuring some of the best goals in the world cup so far. >> oh what a response! >> reporter: as for the americans, team captain clint dempsey, who suffered a broken nose in monday night's game should be able to play on sunday. but striker alfador's status is uncertain. dodgers pitcher clayton kershaw already has two cy young awards. this morning he has a no-hitter.
7:19 am
kershaw struck out 15 batters last night, a career high. the dodgers beat colorado 8-0. kershaw almost had a perfect game but one of the rockies reached first base on a throwing error. kershaw is the second dodger to throw a no-hitter this season. his teammate josh beckett did it last month in philadelphia. and it's 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning" we're going to check headlines from around the nation low clouds and fog are back in parts of the bay area along the coastline. a lot of sunshine though away from the coast and looking good over san jose right now. mostly clear skies at this hour. we are going to see some cooler temperatures as high pressure weakens somewhat allowing the sea breeze to kick in. we'll bring the temperature down especially approach the golden gate bridge. 69 degrees in san francisco. 80s in the interior valleys. cooler over the next couple of days. and then slowly warming up on sunday and monday.

fame. and being famous is very different than being a hero. i have so many better heroes for them. what if we did a line of children's books telling the stories not just when they're famous but telling them when they're kids. that's where we began. >> you said that's a key point focusing on their childhood. >> we start "i am rosa parks." there's a true story. when rosa parks was 11 years old a boy on roller skates shoved her down. she pops up, shoves him back. now the boy was white. rosa parks of course was black, and you didn't do that back then. so the mother of the boy comes racing over and says i'll have you put in jail for the rest of your life. now you're a little kid, you go running, that would be understandable. what she does is she stands up to the mother more important stands up for herself and says your son bothered me i don't want to be bothered anymore. and she says that the mother and the boy never picked on her again and i want my son to hear that story. i want my daughter to hear that story. >> and in fact if you look back at her the fact that she stood up there was indicative of
8:38 am
what she might do on a bus. >> of course you show someone, you show any child and kids understand that. they understand the bus part but they understand the bully. my young son was being bullied a couple weeks ago in the cafeteria. my oldest son after reading the book said to my younger son you need to be like rosa parks you've got to stand up to the bully. and my younger son said i need to be like rosa parks. and i thought oh, my gosh it's actually working. >> i love these moral lessons. you also wrote a book called "i am abraham goodman." we read doris kearns goodwin's book, but i didn't know this story when abraham lincoln was a little boy that he came across some other boys who were putting hot coals on top of turtles. >> one of my favorite stories in there. i found it, and when abraham lincoln was 10 years old he comes upon these turtles. he used to love animals p/e races over, they're torturing the turtles. now, he has to figure out what to do in this moment. when you are a little kid or when you're 4 years old sometimes it's hard to do the right thing. but someone has to. and he stands up right there and says take the coals off the
8:39 am
turtles. my younger son sees that he says dad i want to be like him. i want to be like abraham lincoln and help people. >> abraham lincoln is known for his writing. one of his first essays was about this moment. >> he goes into his class writes his first essay about being kind to animals and again to share those stories is i always want to give my kids good lessons. but the best lessons you can give them is show them that it can really happen. and that's where the book started. this is my core belief. i believe ordinary people change the world. i don't care where you went to school. i don't care how much money you make. that is nonsense to me. i believe in regular people and their ability to affect change in this world and that's why i believe in an 11-year-old girl named rosa parks and a 10-year-old boy named abraham lincoln. >> the common theme standing up to what you think is not right? >> each one has a different lesson. i am amelia earhart is about knowing no bounds. lincoln is standing up for others. rosa parks is standing up for yourself. we are doing i am albert einstein and i am jackie robinson. the role is to help parents and
8:40 am
grandparents build a library of real heroes for their children. that's the goal here. we are a country, look around. we're starving for heroes. and this is our solution. >> you have found them. and you're a best-selling author in the adult's category and children's category but you say you are most proud of this. >> listen we're all going to have legacies. i hope that this one could be mine. >> i hope you make it into like a cartoon series for kids to watch, too. >> i appreciate it. >> we like the book brad. >> thank you very much. >> love them brad. this morning a group of young performers travel from broadway to hollywood. >> coming up on "cbs this morning." >> from its original home at the august wilson theater on broadway. >> the cast of clint eastwood's film "jersey boys."

eastwood clint but, michael, you call him mr. eastwood. >> he's like the boss mr. e., or mr. eastwood. i can't do -- i can't even say it. >> you can't actually form the "c." >> right. >> the film depicts the roller-coster ride to the 4 seasons. that experience has proved to be just as emotional. i just want to ask you all what you're most grateful for with your experience through "jersey boys," through stage, film, everything. >> i was 20 years old when i sat down with there with my father and watched john do the show for the first time. i remember sitting back there and turning around and seeing while i was auditioning for the movie and seeing frankie valli standing behind me saying hey, you did good at the audition. these are -- i can barely talk because these are our lives. who would have thought.
