side. >> israel has accepted a proposal, but hamas has rejected the plan. firefighters in oregon have their hands full. the monsoon-like rain caused roads to blood. a very powerful jet stream bringing cold air to parts of minneapolis and chicago. at least 20 are dead in a subway train derailment in moscow. new video of the boston marathon bombing suspect. he's walking into a college gym the day after the bombing. a suspected carjacker didn't get far when a group of bystanders intervened in san diego. oscar pistorius got into a scuffle at a club. police say a man began intear investigating him about the

a good show today. >> i think so. and the summer seems to be flying by this morning. >> we begin with the weather. many of you in the west face another scorching summer day. but many in the midwest are dealing with a big chill. a huge arctic air mass covers the region. >> this should be the hottest part of the summer. our cbs station is at target field in minneapolis where it feels like the vikings should be playing football. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning to our viewers in the west. the mercury here in minneapolis yesterday only reached a chilly 65 degrees. that was actually a record for the lowest july 14th ever. the all-star game is set to take place here behind me tonight. it is of course a midsummer tradition. this year, it will be played in a very fall-like manner.

>> oh, man. >> reporter: the cold, wet conditions at target field monday night weren't enough to cool off the bats at the home run derby. it was a sogry 57 degrees in minneapolis. well below the average high of 83 in july. even in this city accustomed to brutal winters, people were bundled up. it will last much of the week and expand east. many areas could see record lows. and super typhoon neoguri appears to be the culprit. it also sent the jet stream buckling towards the arctic and down the great plains bringing polar air with it. much of the country suffered through a deep freeze in january because of the polar vortex. however, some forecasters say this chill is not the same

phenomenon. tonight, fans will need to find a way to keep warm. >> i think it might require an extra blanket or two. but i think the fans are going to be fired up. >> reporter: a local ticket vendor tells me that home run derby tickets were affected by the cold last night. as for tonight's game we're told that things should not be affected. >> hard to believe it's july. this cold front is setting out of powerful thunderstorms in the northeast. some highways flooded around new york city last night. firefighters had to rescue stranded drivers. and in washington lightning struck close to the capitol dome and washington monument. we're tracking the storm and chilly weather. good morning. >> good morning. and good morning to our viewers in the west. an unusual pattern across the country. we have the heat in the west coast.

a lot of cold air coming down in the middle of the country. on the east koets, warm and humid. where those air masses clash, you have thunderstorms and is severe weather threat. so look at the high temperatures today, 50s across the northern great lakes. 60s and 70s for many as we head into tomorrow. it will run out of gas thursday and friday. middle of july very tolerable air. the storm threat is in the 95 corridor. flash flooding a threat here as well as isolated tornados. and the monsoon is active. this will start to wane as we head towards thursday. >> and that southwest monsoon brought heavy rain to phoenix last night. firefighters rescued several drivers. one woman said her car was nearly swallowed up in a few

seconds. it took firefighters about 10 minutes to get her utility. no rain is in the forecast for california. regulators today are set to approve the toughest water use restrictions in history. the new rules will stop homeowners from washing their driveways and sidewalks. sprinklers without a shutoff nozzle will be banned. a subway derailment disaster is unfolding in moscow this morning, killing at least 19. more than 150 others are hurt. elizabeth is tracking developments from london. >> yes, this terrible accident happened this morning at rush hour in the world's busiest subway network. as the wounded were carried out, the subway system that had been targeted in the past by terrorists worried it had been

hit again. instead, they determined that the cash that happened as most people were heading to work was caused by a power surge that tripped a switch causing the train to come to an abrupt halt and then rerail. at least three cars completely blocked the track. the rescue workers are saying they haven't yet got to the first carriage involved in the cash and that there may be more people trapped inside. meanwhile some of those rescued alive are very badly injured. the authorities expect that the death toll could yet climb even higher. this morning, israel's military says it is carrying out new air strikes inside gaza. they accepted a proposed cease fire but netanyahu warned them to go along with the deal proposed by egypt. >> if hamas rejects the egyptian

proposal and the rocket fire from gaza does not cease, we are prepared to continue and intensify our operation to protect our people. >> holly williams is in gaza city where some militants are still firing rockets. >> reporter: there's confusion here this morning about whether hamas will accept this cease fire plan. one of the group's leaders says hamas is considering it, but others here have already rejected it. the israeli military says it bottomed 25 sites last night and palestinian officials say eight people were killed. compared with the havoc of two days ago, both sides now seem to be holding back. israel said only two rockets were launched by the militants overnight and neither did any damage. the relative quiet raised hopes that israel's cease fire plan

might work. on its website hamas' military wing said the cease fire wasn't worth the ink it was win with. they want an end to israel's blockade of the gaza strip which has deprived palestinians of necessities like fuel and medical supplies. this man is a spokesman for hamas. he told us there would be no cease fire until israel releases hundreds of palestinian prisoners rounded up after the murder of three israeli teenagers last month. >> reporter: you fired a thousand rockets but not a single israeli has been killed. so why are you still firing them? >> translator: if no israelis have been killed then why are they wages a war against our people. either they're hiding their

losses or there's no reason for this war against gaza. >> reporter: the militants fired several more rockets this morning, but the israeli military says they did not cause any damage or casualties. holly williams gaza. >> we're getting a new look at a video of osama bin laden that was made just before 9/11. he urges young fighters to target the united states. cbs news is in washington. he was a top national security aide to president george w. bush. good morning. >> good morning. >> why now? >> al qaeda and isis are in a propaganda battle for the hearts and minds of the jihadi world. so they have to respond in some way. and this video represents and reminds the jihadi world of the

lineage back to bin laden and reminds them they remain the vanguard of this jihadi world. >> so who wins this struggle and what does it mean for the rest of us? >> it's a dangerous struggle for all of us. i think what you have is a struggle for control of territory. isis is on the ground in iraq and syria. al qaeda is fighting for the allegiance of groups. but both are going to be trying to attack the west, and they have a diverse population of foreign fighters to choose from. >> what is really the substantive difference here between the leader of isis and the historic leadership of al qaeda? is it actually more of a threat now? >> you have isis declaring this islamic state, that there's a territory they control for all muslims around the world. both groups clearly have in mind

trying to control territory in the middle east. trying to attack ally countries and certainly trying to attack the west where possible. this video reminds his viewers and the al qaeda that that has always been the al qaeda plan and that they should remain loyal. about 40 undocumented immigrants are back in central america this morning, the first in a wave of deportation flights took them from new mexico to honduras. it's part of an either to combat the recent surge of illegal immigrants along the mexican border. two lawmakers are crafting a bill they hope will provide a solution. >> reporter: we're hearing that jay johnson actually offered initial qualified support of that legislation. the bill is aimed at discouraging the huge influx of central american children who are flooding western border

towns in the u.s. dozens of women and children arrived back in honduras monday in what federal officials say will be the first of a wave of deportation flights from the u.s. but with thousands of kids still in legal limbo federal officials are trying to house some of them in states far from the u.s./mexico border and resistance is spreading. >> it will be a burden to the city. >> reporter: in michigan about 50 people protested in front of this human services building. it temporarily sheltered as many as 120 unaccompanied minors from central america. the governor of iowa isn't prepared to welcome the children to his state either. >> i do have empathy for these kids but i also don't want to send a signal that send your kids to america illegally. that's not the right message.

>> reporter: tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors have fled their home countries. and raising concerns from california to capitol hill. two texans republican senator john core unanimous and a house democrat want to speed up the deportation process by sending at least 40 more immigration judges to border towns. it calls for them to have a preliminary hearing within seven days of their arrival and to be sent home immediately if a judge rules they do not qualify for asylum. right now, the law allows the central american children to stay in the u.s. sometimes for years as they await a hearing. by then many of them simply don't show up. >> the department of veterans affairs is facing another growing scandal this morning. the agency is now accused of covering up a backlog of

disability payments of veterans. wyatt andrews is in washington. >> good morning. the va scandal exposed earlier this year involved face reports of how long veterans waited for health care. now they say false wait times on handling disability claims are also being reported. >> they were instructing us to change the dates of claims, on any claims, regardless of the circumstances if they were olding than a certain date. >> kristin rules appeared before the house yet rans affairs committee. she said the wait times for disability claims were changed to appear if they were brand new. >> i think things are getting worse. >> republican congressman jeff miller questioned if the va's claim of a 55% reduction in the

disability backlog can be trusted. >> it has been made clear there is not a corner that will not cut nor a statistic they will not manipulate. >> i know that you don't trust what we're saying. >> the head of the va's benefits division said her office is investigating charges of false reports, but she strongly denied the va has been deceiving the committee. >> i want every veteran in this country and all of you to believe us when we say we're making good decisions, not because of us but because we care so much about those veterans. >> when the inspector general visited philadelphia last month, inspectors found a roomful of va claims and still containing documents not scanned into the system. the va has promised veterans immediate action. off the italian coast this morning. >> the costa concordia is one

more step closer to its final resting place. the cruise ship ran aground more than two years ago killing 32 people. >> reporter: well they've rolled her over now they've refloated her. but the job is not over. in the little part town they can finally see the day when they'll look out to sea and not have the view spoiled by a hulking reminder of tragedy. the costa concordia now sits a little further offshore. she's floating now supporting by the steel chambers attached to her side. speeded up imagery shows she's shifting around as preparations are made to get her out of here entirely. there's still a lot of work to be done making sure it's secure and in the right place and that this damaged ship will hold

together. >> you wouldn't want to take her today. >> reporter: when would you want to? >> when i have everything available. >> reporter: what's your time? >> i think we should finish sometime over the weekend if things go well. >> reporter: and it has been going well so far. the project here now released new underwater video showing the chains running right under the hull. they hold it in place. they have to be secured before she can be towed 200 miles. it would be a shame to lose this ship now after all this. >> mark, thank you. it's about 7:19. ahead this morning, we'll check headlines from around the globe including the dramatic action strangers took to prevent another tra if you're headed out the door, it is a cloudy start to the day, very muggy outside, as well. and yeah, you know, we have

series of storms that pummeled the northeast and partly caused by the instability of the north polar region. we are seeing that same instability now. we had the remanence of the typhoon in japan last week, and it helped create the a big pressure area, and it's an insta instability of the whole arctic region, and that's potentially dangerous. the colder the arctic is the more unstable. it's like a tornado of cold air at the north pole. but as the north polar region warms up the tornado becomes unstable and pieces of it break off like what happened in january and something similar is happening now. so the good news is enjoy the summer because we are going to have mild temperatures and even hail storms in part of the northeast, but the long-term

implications are ominous. >> what are those ominous implications? >> in california, we have a punishing drought going on for years, and in the midwest, temperatures dropping 10 to 30 degrees and hail storms in the northeast, and in california you see the brunt of this climate change and the fact that estimates of damage to the agriculture industry are about $800 million this year, and 14,500 als workers could let laid off, and the state of california could pass mandatory restrictions on water use because of the severity of the drought. that means eventually rationing of water. >> why, though are things cold here at home and then in the rest of the world you are seeing a totally different story, and it's actually quite hot? >> yeah normally it should be quite warm and the north polar

barry scheck in 1995. he was part of the powerhouse legal defense team representing o.j. simpson in his murder trial. scheck successfully challenged the way that dna evidence at the crime scene was handled by the los angeles police department. that led to the football stars acquittal. it marked a monumental shift in how technology would be used to solve crimes but the bulk of his life's work has dedicated to the innocence project. it is an organization he created in 1992 with his partner peter newfield. they used dna testing to exonerate the wrongly convicted. in 2002 scheck spoke with cbs news about his mission. >> we can screen these cases and effectively get them to the laboratories. and we not only prove that some people are wrongfully convicted. but these dna tests will catch the people who really committed the crime, frankly, before they go out and commit more. >> reporter: today, the innocence project and its network has freed 317 people including 18 on death row.

>> my name is christine larose i work for the innocence commission. >> reporter: now scheck's real-life battles sparked a television program called "the divide." . >> he was proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. his appeal for clemency denied. you're telling me that the murderer's rights are more important. >> barry scheck is here along with tony goldman, the executive producer and co-creator of "the divide." welcome. you two worked on a film called "the conviction." >> exactly. >> how did this come about? >> well i got to go barry and the work that he and peter have done on the innocence project. i learned every story that i heard was so inherently dramatic. and wanted to keep telling the stories. on television you can take a

novelistic approach. >> so you tell the story of barry and peter trying to get people off death row and people who they believe are imprisoned unfairly? >> well "the divide" focuses on a fictional true story of one those cases. and the divide will create a fictional composite a situation in which a prosecutor might have gotten it wrong. >> but what's so interesting about this case something you rarely see the victims are an affluent black family. and the perpetrators are white. how did that come about, barry? when i looked that the, i thought that was different. >> well, it's interesting -- >> was that your idea. >> well yes. the way it turned out very interestingly, the movie "conviction" which is really terrific and based on the true life story of betty ann watters. there is a betty ann watters character in the initiative. and tony had great insight into that and richard mcglavine

whose resume speaks for itself. yoenis yoenis commitsky. the second award winner. the cast the wire all of these great shows, it's just so well done. and the idea was we sat around a table at the very beginning and tony and richard were saying about what those cheshire murder cases. >> that was my point from the beginning. my point is you're taking from the kinds of stories and the ideas come right out of the innocence project? >> right. it's a great idea but you need to flip the races. >> what are you doing there? it really seems to be a challenge to the system and how law enforcement works. what's the broader concept you're trying to communicate? >> well, really what richard and i want to do is tell a great story and make it very entertaining while shining a

light on things that are really important. so we want to raise a lot of questions and let people think about it. this isn't looking at the big bad system. it's saying look at the system. look before i made "conviction" i assumed before, somebody was in prison they probably did it. getting to know the work that barry does raises a lot of questions. it's very provocative and makes very good television. >> after one of watching those episodes, it was one of those things i wish i had the rest. now i was waiting to see how what's going to happen? even the title "the divide" because you're walking along all sorts of ethical mine fields in the series. >> that's really what it's about. our institutions are really mirrors of our own selves. our psych kiss. they are human institutions with human flaws.

and, you know our justice system in the ideal form it's pretty darn good i think. but in fact it's filled with gray areas and cracks just so we deal with institutional morality and our own personal morality. >> barry, as i said in that setup, we first began to know about you from the o.j. simpson trial. you have since then done a remarkable series of cases that have tested the judicial system. was the fact that you have so put yourself into this so -- with such commitment in any way, connected to your sense of mission that came out of your participation in the o.j. simpson trial? >> no not at all, actually peter newfield and i who founded the innocence project and worked with all the colleagues in this innocence network across the country, we started this in 1992, before the o.j. simpson case. our really expertise at the beginning is that we knew a lot about dna testing from trying

use it in the first place. and that turns out to be the only really empirically validated forensic asset. right now we have a national commission on forensic science and the national academy of science reported in 2009 that's trying to change the whole way that we do forensic science in this country. you know eyewitness identification. videotaping identification all of these forms can change the system. so from the very beginning, we knew this was a big deal and could change the criminal justice system. the simpson case, you know was in some ways an accident that we got involved in at all. >> did the system work in the simpson case? >> oh, god, no. i mean the o.j. simpson case did not anything very good for the american criminal justice system. but the only silver lining frankly, the work that we did in terms of the forensic evidence the prosecutors on the other side, and everybody was right that it was mishandled.

that we had to change it. so that part is the only silver lining that we had, you know national commissions on changing the way we deal with evidence. >> so no regrets in your involvement in the simpson case? >> no i mean -- >> it destroyed television news. >> yeah, certainly -- >> yeah. >> about this you know there are innocent people that are there, in prison and you find them because of dna evidence. and second you know that people get off because of lawyering. and you just wonder how significant the numbers are that get off that shouldn't, as well as, you remember how many get in who shouldn't be there. >> well the real point is our reforms that the innocence movement is putting forward not only protect the innocent, but they enhance the capability of law enforcement getting the right person. if you video the investigation.

eyewitness reform. you clean up forensic science and trying to deal with race which in part is dealt with an interesting and creative way in this movie "the divide." you can begin to change the system. i think we're make evening norm muss progress. >> yeah. >> i think there's a bipartisan approach now to changing the criminal justice system. when you hear rand paul and the american civil liberties union talking about let's do something of that mandatory minimums mass incarceration, the attorney general and the president. >> so the system is changing? >> i think so. >> and you the questions are raised in "the "tth. >> 9:00 p.m. tomorrow heth >>actly. the premiere tomorrow night "the divide" on we tv. stay with us on "cbs this morning." newest hitting sensation that doesn't wear a uniform. >> you have seen this logo in a major leagu
