7:03 am
captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie rose is off so ben tracy is with us. welcome. >> good to be here. >> good to have you here. as you wake up in the west the world health organization says an ebola outbreak is spreading faster than efforts to control the virus. the u.s. is working to bring home two infected americans. the largest outbreak in history is suspected of killing at least 729 people. >> a medical charter plane is picking up the american patients in liberia. at least one of the victims will go to emory university hospital in atlanta. >> reporter: good morning. good morning to viewers in the west. emory university hospital here has a special ward designed to treat patients with dangerous communicable diseases, just like the two american missionaries now in a life-or-death struggle with the ebola virus. emory's isolation unit is on the ground floor, but physically
7:04 am
separated from other wards. an ebola patient will arrive here within the next few days. the hospital declined to reveal that person's identity but on thursday the white house said government officials were working to get two americans with ebola out of liberia. >> these kind of medevacs that are performed by private entities, by private organizations, yet facilitated by the u.s. government and government agencies is consistent with what has been done in similar situations in the past. >> reporter: dr. kent brantly and nancy writebol are in stable but serious condition. in an effort to boost their ability to fight the virus, both were given antibodies from ebola survivors. writebol received them from an experimental serum brantly from one of his patients. a 14-year-old boy who lived. >> we don't know how effective the serum will be in this instance of ebola because it really hasn't been done very frequently before, if at all.
7:05 am
>> reporter: on thursday the cdc issued a level 3 travel warning. measures should avoid all non-essential travel to sierra leone, guinea and liberia, where more than 700 people have already died. passengers arriving in the u.s. from west africa are currently not being screened but public health officials have put hospitals on alert. they say any outbreaks will quickly be brought under control. emory's three-bed isolation center has a highly trained staff and special equipment to keep these pathogens from getting out. there are only four centers like this in the entire country. >> all right, thank you. and the cdc is now trying to calm fears that the disease can spread here. our chief medical correspondent dr. jon lapook is with us. good morning doctor. >> good morning. >> why bring the ebola virus here to the u.s.? is it dangerous? >> norah, it sounds like their condition is deteriorating and there's medical care that can be
7:06 am
given here in the sophisticated health settings that just can't be done in africa. for example, one of the complications is the problems with clotting and you have bleeding. here you could give fresh frozen plasma, other clotting factors. so that's something that's available here more sophisticated treatment. >> they are doing this to save these two health workers' lives. >> yeah. this is very dramatic. i know people are concerned. is it safe to bring it here. i've been told by the cdc that these are in very isolated pods that they're transported in and there's very strict protocol that makes it safe. >> let's talk about that, jon, because this unit inside this hospital is one of only four in the country. what is it like inside there? >> there are three beds and it's isolated the air supply is isolated, the air is filtered. the staff is specially trained. so this is something that they're prepared for and the idea is to keep them in this isolated area where it's safe. it can't be spread anywhere else but where they can give it the best care possible. >> and what kind of experimental vaccine do we have here in the u.s.? >> there are things being worked on.
7:07 am
the nih has a vaccine going into phase one. that's the first phase of testing, in september. there are other things. there are cocktails of drugs. for example, two drugs that treat the virus and then combine that with a vaccine. this would be given after somebody is exposed. but these are all not available for primetime any time really soon. >> jon, thank you. i know you'll be back in the next hour with some of the myths about contracting ebola. thank you so much. and people have many important questions about the ebola virus. you can find answers this morning on cbsnews.com where there is up-to-date information from the cdc and the world health organization. this morning the latest effort to ending the conflict in gaza exploded in new violence. one israeli soldier is reported kidnapped. a 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire held for less than two hours. palestinian officials say israeli tanks killed dozens in southern gaza but a white house spokesman condemned hamas this morning, calling an attack on israeli troops barbaric.
7:08 am
barry petersen is tracking developments in gaza city. barry, good morning. >> reporter: well people woke here at 8:00 in the morning to an unusual sound. the sound of silence. but now the war is back on with a vengeance. there was an artillery hit just over there and we're hearing a lot of small arms fire out in that direction. hamas says it's killed israeli soldiers and also claims it has captured one alive. the palestinians say israeli strikes have overwhelmed their hospitals. 35, 40 dead. maybe 300 injured. mostly women and children. it was a brutal end to the brief hope for peace. the familiar deadly explosions of artillery meant both sides were at it again. but for a few hours while the cease-fire lasted people hurried out to shop finding store shelves increasingly bare. at markets, there is fruit and vegetables. the prices for some items have doubled. people can look but many can not afford to buy.
7:09 am
this shop had chickens when it opened for the first time in two weeks. it was sold out in two hours. how are people in gaza going to eat if farmers like you are not able to raise food? it is hard to make a meal says shop owner hussein. we only have simple things cheese, bread and vegetables. a lot of the shops are closed, sometimes because owners are still afraid to drive across the city. other times because the owner or a member of the family has been killed and they are still in mourning. and there are other shortages, like water. as for power, there is none at all. the israelis hit the power plant earlier this week destroying fuel tanks and one of the four turbine generators. some people have generators at home they can run when they can get gas. many do not. no power means no lights. this is a city now driven back to a kind of dark ages.
7:10 am
there was hope that a long cease-fire would let palestinians resupply buying food and humanitarian aid from the israeli side. now that is not going to happen. life here norah, is just going to get harder. >> all right barry, thank you. and the failure of this morning's cease-fire is a major setback for secretary of state john kerry. margaret brennan is at the state department. margaret, good morning. what does this mean now? >> reporter: good morning. once again, it appears that diplomats want a cease-fire more than israel or hamas. secretary kerry is flying back from india to d.c. now. he's making calls from on board his plane and has already spoken with the israeli prime minister the u.n. and the qataris who are negotiating on behalf of hamas. he's trying to save this cease-fire, but right now the first priority is securing the release of that israeli soldier reportedly captured by hamas. the white house spokesman said this morning that if these
7:11 am
hostage reports are true it's a barbaric violation of the truce agreement. but u.s. diplomats have long acknowledged that events on the ground trump words at the negotiating table and that any truce is a test of whether hamas's fighters will honor what their political leaders order them to do. so new questions may be raised about that given the events that have happened overnight. many of the american negotiators have already landed in cairo to begin what were supposed to be talks about a longer term deal. now it is just not clear whether any of that will happen. >> margaret thank you. there is devastation in taiwan this morning after a series of deadly underground gas explosions. cameras caught the blast last night. they were so powerful they tossed cars into the air. at least 25 people were killed and nearly 270 injured. this morning several streets are deep trenches of debris and dirt. this happened in taiwan's second largest city in a neighborhood
7:12 am
that is near some oil companies. wall street stocks are down this morning despite a positive monthly job report. the labor department says employers added 20 9,000 jobs in july. it's the first time since 1997 that the economy gained 200,000 jobs for six straight months. the unemployment rate rose to 6.2% as more people started looking for work. on thursday the dow jones industrial average fell 317 points to 16,563. that wiped out nearly all of the index's gains for the year. this morning the white house says president obama still has confidence in cia director john brennan. he was forced to admit thursday that the agency spied on senate staff members. nancy cordes is on capitol hill where brennan denies those charges for months. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, as you can imagine, senators who are on the intelligence committee, like california's dianne feinstein, are furious. they say they were lied to and they say this points to a
7:13 am
problem with the culture at the cia. >> we really don't have anything to say at this point. >> reporter: senators got the full story for the first time in a closed door briefing on capitol hill. the cia's inspector general told them his investigation found five agency employees, two lawyers and three computer experts, improperly accessed the intelligence committee's computer files reviewing some of the e-mails of committee staff members. >> and the key issues are who authorized this and why they thought it was legal. >> reporter: the breaches happened in 2010 and again in 2014, as the intelligence committee reviewed thousands of cia documents as part of its investigation into past interrogation tactics. staffers suspected they were being spied on after some of their files disappeared. cia director john brennan denied it earlier this year. >> we wouldn't do that. i mean that's -- that's just
7:14 am
beyond the scope of reason. >> reporter: on thursday the cia said brennan had apologized to the committee. but that wasn't good enough for colorado democrat mark udall who called for brennan's resignation. saxby chambliss wouldn't go that far but did say -- >> this is very very serious, and i will tell you as a member of the committee, someone who has great respect for the cia, i am extremely disappointed. >> reporter: the white house press secretary says the president does still have confidence in the cia director and pointed out that brennan has created an internal accountability board to see if anyone should be punished at the agency. >> nancy that's a big story, thank you. two executives and long-time friends got into a life-and-death strug nell chicago. this morning one is fighting for his life after he was shot in a high-rise office building.
7:15 am
steven lavoie and anthony defrancis built their business from the ground up. dean reynolds shows us what triggered yesterday's violence. >> reporter: what began as a routine work day at aerostream a chicago-based technology firm rapidly disintegrated into chaos. >> people were crying and stuff. it was nuts. >> there were helicopters flying overhead. >> reporter: the incident began less than a week after tony defrancis learned he was being demoted as the company's chief technology officer. on thursday morning defrancis entered the 17th floor of this building for a private meeting with the company's founder and ceo, steven lavoie. at just before 10:00 a.m. police say shots were fired. >> during that one-on-one he produced a firearm. there was apparently a struggle over the firearm. the ceo was struck twice. >> reporter: s.w.a.t. teams immediately rushed in to secure the area. >> it's like they were going in for war. it was almost like an army. >> reporter: defrancis was pronounced dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot
7:16 am
wound. lavoie was taken to chicago's northwestern hospital for emergency surgery. >> the ceo is in grave condition. he was struck once in the stomach and once in the head. >> reporter: the two men had worked together since the company was founded 14 years ago and were known to be friends. in a statement, lavoie's family said our thoughts are also with steven's extended family the employees of arrowstream, and our prayers are with the other family affected by this tragedy. both families have asked for privacy, as investigators and colleagues search for answers in the city's latest round of gun violence. for "cbs this morning," dean reynolds, chicago. in new york this morning a criminal defense attorney says he's been hired by governor andrew cuomo's office. the u.s. attorney in manhattan reportedly warned cuomo and his aides that he may pursue obstruction of justice or witness tampering charges. the dispute involves the so-called moreland commission the governor created last year. >> that 25-member panel was
7:17 am
supposed to spend 18 months routing out political corruption in new york state but cuomo shut down the commission in march, saying its work was done. "the new york times" reported last week that cuomo's top aides repeatedly blocked investigators. cuomo denies any wrongdoing. rikki klieman is here this morning. we reached out to the governor's office, all the members of his commission, no one responded. why is the u.s. attorney involved here? >> well the u.s. attorney originally became involved because of the abrupt end of this commission. so the u.s. attorney says we're going to finish the commission's work. we're looking at corruption which was perfectly permissible for him to do. but that's months ago. so now this has escalated. why has it escalated? governor cuomo got his surrogates out there, the people who were on the commission to say, hey, this commission was fine. the governor the governor's people, they never bothered us
7:18 am
we were independent. and the u.s. attorney said oh well isn't this intriguing. suddenly we have this onslaught of the governor's people saying this everything is fine so he took the bull by the horns. >> so does not suggest criminal witness tampering? >> well it certainly suggests the possibility of investigating criminal witness tampering as well as obstruction of justice. the u.s. attorney's office says hey, governor and governor's staff, layoff my witnesses. and if you persist, even by telling them to go forward to say that everything is just great, we're in this. we're looking at you and we are not letting go. >> and "the new york times" is reporting that the co-chair of this commission has changed his story. privately he had expressed frustration about meddling from the governor's office in this investigation. >> yes that is correct. at least as we understand it. that mr. fitzpatrick originally not only expressed it orally but
7:19 am
perhaps has expressed it through e-mails and said he wanted the governor out of this that it was independent. now he's saying it's just all fine. >> rikki klieman, thank you so much. it is 7:19. ahead, ray rice says his wife can do no wrong. we'll get reaction after the nfl star breaks his silence about we are starting out with a few clouds outside this morning. low clouds and fog just a thin layer has moved in along the coastline and over san francisco. this is from the cam you see the fog making its way over the city right now. but by the afternoon, that will be long gone. hazy sunshine taking over. and it is going to be hot in the valleys. 99 degrees in livermore. 85 degrees and sunny in san jose and the next couple days cooling down slightly over the weekend. this national weather report

the baltimore ravens star was suspended two games by commissioner roger goodell. they're not oohing because they think that's a lot. two games? the league suspends you for four games if you get caught smoking pot, which is actually legal in one of the cities the nfl operates in. to be clear, the nfl suspends you for twice as long if what you hit is this. >> i'm sure he's saying what a lot of people are thinking. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up, a wealthy virginia man says it was just business when he got close to the state's governor and his wife. but her lawyer says the first lady had more in mind. revelations about a political marriage and one spouse's favorite playmate.
7:31 am
plus mick jagger tells us why he's bringing james brown's story to the big screen and how the godfather of soul influenced the rolling stones. that's ahead. but first, it's time to show you some of this morning's headlines. the "miami herald" is tracking tropical storm bertha. it's the second named storm of the atlantic hurricane season. right now it is packing winds near 45 miles an hour. storm watches are in effect for puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands. it is expected to pass over barbados this afternoon. "usa today" says changes are coming to the way poultry is inspected. it's the first overhaul in 50 years. the government hopes it will result in 5,000 fewer food borne illnesses every year. chickens and turkeys. other workers will make sure the processing plants are clean. "the boston globe" says women on birth control pills could develop health problems. the study finds those who took pills with a high dose of estrogen were 50% more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer. the report also finds that
7:32 am
contraceptives with low levels of the hormone did not increase the risk of cancer. and "the new york times" says a pga tour star is taking an extended leave. dustin johnson released a statement thursday saying he is going to quote, seek professional help for personal challenges. johnson withdrew this week from the world golf championships. in 2012 he was off the tour for nearly three months with a back injury. there is one voice we have not heard from in the controversy over baltimore ravens star running back ray rice until now. five and a half months after a security camera captured rice dragging his bride-to-be out of an elevator in atlantic city he has publicly apologized. >> it's just totally inexcusable, and i'm here today to tell you that i made the biggest mistake of my life. me. she can do no wrong. she's an angel. i let my wife down. you know i let my daughter down. i let my wife's parents down. i let the whole baltimore
7:33 am
community down. and i got my teammates here to support me. i let my teammates down. i let so many people down because of 30 seconds of my life that, you know i know i can't take back. i'm prepared for the worst. you know but that's something i brought upon myself. but i have a brotherhood that will support me. i have my teammates. i have my wife. you know i have my family. i have people close to me that will help me get through this. >> rice pleaded not guilty to an assault charge and went to an intervention program to avoid prosecution. critics continue to slam the nfl today for handing down a mere two-game suspension. james brown hosts the nfl today on cbs sports. j.b., always good to see you. >> good to see you too. >> when you look at the video when you think about that he knocked her unconscious and see him drabgging her out of the elevator, what's been the reaction and response to what he said said. >> for those who know ray rice
7:34 am
say this is consistent with who he is. clearly the video just underscores how powerful how vicious this issue is around the u.s. i've been working with the verizon corporation for two years in domestic violence awareness. gayle, it is serious. i have seen more women and talked with more women who have been shot and left for dead by their husbands. when you consider the statistics are one to two women per day or week that are killed by their spouses or their partners it's a very serious situation. >> which makes it to me even more surprising that the nfl would give a two-game suspension. >> there's been an awful lot of pushback to the league and rightfully so in terms of the decision that was made by roger goodell. two games is absolutely not sufficient. it doesn't send the right message. >> in fact congress is now getting involved. three u.s. senators wrote commissioner goodell asking the nfl to stiffen its penalty saying the current suspension reflects a disturbingly lenient, even cavalier attitude towards violence again women. how big a deal is this for the
7:35 am
nfl? is there a cavalier attitude about women and domestic violence? >> i wouldn't go so far as to say cavalier. norah, i think it's reflective of how society deals with it. good for the senators or congressman, those on capitol hill, but this has been a serious issue for a long time. don't jump on the horse because it's in the news. stay with it because it is a serious issue. i give ray rice this credit that he is in a program now, in counseling, and it wasn't just to escape if you will prosecution, if you will or a longer suspension because he said he would have taken any suspension and rightfully so. >> do you think goodell will have to say more on this? >> i'm sure there are quite a few people that would like to see that but make it a consistent issue, not just now. >> j.b. is he a distraction at this point or will his teammates, his brotherhood welcome him back? >> from the outside people won't want to look at that as a distraction because it doesn't pay attention to how much of a problem it is. his brotherhood will welcome him
7:36 am
back into the fold. a just hope a number of guys take this seriously because there are a lot of people engaged in that activity that need to be exposed and this needs to be focused on seriously. >> great to have you here at the table. we'll see you tonight sitting in for scott pelley on the "cbs evening news." you've been doing a great job all week. you've got to do double duty today. thank you, sir. and the trial of former virginia governor bob mcdonnell continues this morning in richmond. he is charged with conspiracy and fraud for allegedly accepting inappropriate gifts while living in the governor's mansion. >> prosecutors say mcdonnell and his wife received a free vacation at a multimillion dollar home along with the use of a ferrari. they allegedly got $15,000 to help pay for catering their daughter's wedding and $20,000 to pay down credit card debt. chip reid shows us what some consider these cozy relationships that are behind the charges. chip, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning. in all mcdonnell is charged with accepting $165,000 in gifts and

7:38 am
painted a very different picture. virginia lawyer todd stone was in the courtroom. >> the fact of the matter is they have e-mails, text messages credit card receipts. jonnie williams has actually said, you know my goal was to influence the governor. i wanted to sell my product. >> reporter: to influence the governor prosecutors claim williams spent nearly $20,000 on designer clothes for mrs. mcdonnell at shops like oscar de la renta and louis vuitton. provided a $50,000 loan to the first couple and bought the governor, at mrs. mcdonnell's request, a $6,000 rolex engraved with his name. when the 14-count federal indictment was handed down in january, the former governor defended his relationship with the ceo. >> i did not try to hide or deceive anyone about my friendship with mr. williams. >> reporter: but thursday williams told the jury i didn't want anyone to know i was helping the governor financially, adding that

governor mcdonnell said that was fine with him. mcdonnell was once seen as a rising star in the republican party. he was even mentioned as a possible republican presidential candidate. now, if convicted, he's facing the possibility of years in a federal prison. >> all right, chip thank you. this is a big deal this trial. >> yeah, it sounds like it could be a movie. >> absolutely. >> what was going on behind the scenes there. >> everyone thought bob mcdonnell could be a presidential candidate, even romney's running mate for a while. they are the air disasters you don't hear nearly as much about. ahead, the government's plan to make flying safer and why some say it may not be working. you're watching "cbs this morning." about. why they need to make it safer and why it may not be working. you're watching "cbs this morning." type 2 diabetes affects millions of us. and for many, it's a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine, what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar?

understand. one of the biggest myths is how is it spread? >> you have to get it with direct contact with body fluids. if you're on an airplane and someone coughed down the aisle, you can't get it that way. very important and different from the flu, with the flu you can be infectious a day before you get the symptoms. with ebola, you have to be symptomatic to get it. >> i was told by someone from the white house you can get it through sweat. >> you can. this is if you're directly touching the person. you see that in africa when they're handling bodies during certain ceremonies after the person has died. there is confusion about this. it's very infectious if you actually touch it come in direct contact with body fluids but if you're ten feet away, you don't touch that person you're safe. >> how big a risk is it to the u.s. population? >> well, you know, two parts to that question. number one, can the virus come here?
