welcome to "cbs this morning." gayle king is off.pas you wake up in the west a powerful summer storm is soaking millions of americans.: cars along the busy parkway were left scattered like toys. >> look at these pictures. you see dozens of drivers caught offguard by some of this rising water. this actually happened right in the middle of the morning commute. very, very dangerous. and traffic was backed up for miles in both directions. we should say too that these problems go well beyond new york. numerous flood watches and warnings are in effect as the storm slowly pushes through to new england. chip reid is in baltimore where some areas got more than a half a foot of rain and there is more rain expected today. chip, good morning. >> reporter: good morning and good morning to our viewers in the west. the good news is no one died as a result of the storm in this

area, that's due in large part to the quick response by rescue crews. floodwaters raced down the streets of laurel maryland tuesday as more than 8 inches of rain drenched the area. emergency crews rescued dozens of people stranded in their cars. joy lininger climbed out the side window of her car which was nearly swallowed up by the flash floods. >> it was very scary sitting here in the car watching the water getting higher and higher. i think thinking about getting out and sitting on top of the car. >> reporter: in parts of baltimore they had no choice but to seek safety on top of their vehicles. the quickly rising waters caught many off guard. rescuers advised people to stay put and wait for help. >> it could have ended tragically had they tried to get off and walked. they could have stepped into an open manhole. >> reporter: last night in north carolina severe thunderstorms left hundreds without power and forced some to evacuate their hotel. >> oh, my gosh! >> reporter: the same system now

pummelling the atlantic coast began in the midwest. in detroit, record rainfall is blamed for the at least two deaths and left more than 1,000 cars submerged. crews trying to clear the roads are asking drivers to find all the alternate routes. >> there are still areas flooded with several feet of water. my concern is that people see an area that's cleaned up where there's no longer water, they think they can drive around a barrier, don't. please don't. there's still a safety risk there. >> reporter: a few miles from here at the baltimore washington international airport they got a record 6.3 inches of rain and dozens of people returned to their cars in the airport parking lot to find them mostly submerged. norah. >> wow, chip thank you. in phoenix, a powerful monsoon triggered flash flooding. a man was stuck on the roof of a car that got swept away. he was one of about a dozen drivers stranded. and a rare haboob or dust storm blew through east washington state. it instantly turned day into

night leading to several wrecked cars. danielle nye is tracking some of the severe weather. >> good morning, everybody, and good morning to our viewers in the west. we're tracking flash flood watches from eastern new york up into new england. flash flood warnings for southern connecticut into long island. several inches of rain. that is going to continue and be a threat through the afternoon and evening. in the west coast showers through the pacific northwest. areas of rain continue as well. deserts southwest will have a threat for pop-up thunderstorms. temperatures in the 70s, so coolest along the coastal locations today. mid-90s from billings all the way back down to denver. 80s in wichita. >> danielle thanks. a second police shooting is reported this morning in suburban st. louis. it happened a new blocks east of ferguson, missouri where a teenager's killing sparked two days of rioting. >> president obama is asking for calm. he says in a statement the events of the past few days have prompted strong passions. we should comfort each other and talk with one another in a way at that heals, not in a way that

wounds. mark strassmann is watching that in ferguson. >> reporter: good morning. that overnight shooting continued the violence in reaction to michael brown's death. at one point police used tear gas last night, but overall the night was calmer. violence in ferguson missouri continued wednesday morning following a police shooting. st. louis county police officers wounded a suspect after being threatened by a handgun. >> turn around. go back where you came from. >> reporter: just a few blocks away protesters had largely dispersed after going face to face with heavily armed officers earlier in the evening. late tuesday hundreds of supporters from michael brown's family packed a st. louis church, calling for more peaceful action over the death of the 18-year-old. he was unarmed when he was shot by a ferguson police officer last saturday. >> whatever our differences are, it's time for us to stand as one. >> reporter: calls for officials to release more information about saturday's shooting including the name and race of

the officer who shot the teenager, have gone unanswered. james knowles is ferguson's mayor. he said the name of the officer is not being released to protect him. >> i know this officer has been receiving threats. >> reporter: he said ferguson has never faced a racial divide before, but adds the police officers can improve the recruiting of minority officers. according to the 2010 census about two-thirds of ferguson's population is black, but just three of the 53 members of the town's police department are black. >> nothing can excuse what you did to my son. >> reporter: leslie mcspadden has expressed outrage and frustration over her son's death. she wants the officer responsible to come forward. >> you take your punishment. and if you a man, you stand up and you be a man. you say i was wrong. >> reporter: department of justice investigators are also here looking into michael

brown's shooting death. charlie. >> thanks. more tributes to robin williams are pouring in. they include a special issue of "time" magazine dedicated to his life and work. >> police say all the evidence indicates williams hanged himself. john blackstone is in san francisco, the city williams called home for much of his life. john, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. fans are leaving flowers and other tributes here at the house used in "mrs. doubtfire" one of the robin williams' most beloved comedies. among the messages written in chalk is i can't even imagine who i'd be without you. it's a sad contrast to the details sheriffs delivered tuesday about the circumstances surrounding williams' death. sheriffs in marin county california say robin williams' wife, susan, was the last person to see him alive at about 10:30 p.m. sunday night. >> it is unknown at this time when mr. williams retired for the evening in a bedroom in his home. >> reporter: williams wife left the house about 10:30 monday

morning thinking her husband was still asleep. it wasn't until an hour later that williams' personal assistant became concerned when the actor failed to respond to knocks at his bedroom door. sheriff's described the scene inside. >> mr. williams clothed in a seated position unresponsive with a belt secured around his neck. >> reporter: the preliminary report says the cause of death was asphyxia due to hanging but sheriffs found other troubling evidence. >> the inside of mr. williams' left wrist had several acute superficial transverse cuts. a pocketknife with a closed blade was located in close proximity to mr. williams. mr. williams had been seeking treatment for tropical depression. >> reporter: late tuesday his three children issued statements. from son zack i lost my father and a best friend and the world got a little grayer. daughter zelda, dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous gentlest souls i've ever known. and son cody.

i will miss him and take him with me everywhere i go for the rest of my life. >> you don't know about real love because that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself. >> reporter: "good will hunting" co-star matt damon also paid tribute. robin brought so much joy into my life and i will carry that joy with me forever. a boston bench the two shared in a pivotal scene from that film has become a memorial, with fans writing down key lines of dialogue in the pavement nearby. and closest to home both literally and figuratively for robin williams and his fans there are these tributes at the mrs. doubtfirehouse here in san francisco. the coroner's office says toxicology tests are now under way to determine what, if any, drugs or alcohol were in williams' body at the time of his death. those results will be available in two to six weeks. >> john thanks. this morning movie fans are

remembering a great figure from hollywood's golden age. lauren bacall was 89. she died tuesday. the cause is not confirmed. fans are leaving messages outside her apartment house. she was well known as humphrey bogart's leading later. as an actress, there was no one like her. she taught men what to do with women. >> what's wrong with you? >> nothing you can't fix. >> she taught women what to do with men. >> you don't think he's a little old? >> oh grow up will you? men with that much dough are never a little old. >> and more than anything else she taught all of us in a most unforgettable way, what to do with your lips. >> you know how to whistle, don't you, steve? you just put your lips together and blow. [ whistling ] >> i had no idea no idea that it would have that effect. >> lauren bacall had that effect for more than 60 years on stage,

in television and in the movies. not bad for someone who started off at betty joan persky from new york city. >> you know, steve -- >> it wasn't her movie "to have and have not" where lauren bacall met humphrey bogart. he was 45, she was 19. >> i thought we suited each other perfectly. >> a perfect match in movies as well as life. but not forever. bogart died of throat cancer in 1957. >> i never got over it actually. you never get over those things. >> bacall made a few movies over the next several years, opener" engaged to frank sinatra and married actor jason robard. it was broadway which brought her back to the limelight and somewhat late in her life at the age of 73 she received an academy award nomination for "the mirror has two faces." in 2005 i asked the icon how she hoped to be remembered.

>> so, charlie, you can remember me because of our great conversations. >> right. >> and because you and i are on the same wave length and the same page as they say. >> right. >> so i mean let the chips fall where they may. i'm not going to be around to worry about it. but i hope it's kind of positive in one way or another. >> come on it will be. she was an amazing woman, she really was. she also wrote a best seller and won some real awards for her writing. >> she was known for her blunt speaking style. what you learn about growing up she was riding the subways and buses of new york. she said you learn that the world doesn't owe you a damn thing. now to the middle east where an additional 130 u.s. troops arrived in iraq this morning. defense secretary chuck hagel promised the marines and special ops troops near erbil are not launching a combat mission. they plan to help teach iraqis how to defend against isis militants. it comes with ousted prime minister nouri al maliki continues to lose support and

he's slamming efforts to replace him. but allies like the u.s. already announced they will recognize al abati. 380 american troops are now in iraq. isis began its violent storm of the country and holly williams is in erbil. >> reporter: good morning. defense officials say those 130 u.s. troops will be assessing how to help the yezidis, members of a small religious minority here in iraq who have been hounded by the islamic extremists known as isis. two and a half years after u.s. forces left iraq these hornet and super hornet fighter jets are carrying out air strikes on islamic militants. the violent extremists swept into northern iraq two months ago calling the land they seized an islamic state. tens of thousands of iraqis have fled their homes and thousands

of yezidis are now stranded on sinjar mountain facing starvation. u.s. and iraqi air drops are helping to keep them alive, but these are risky missions. sometimes the helicopters are shot at by the militants and yesterday a helicopter crashed, injuring an american journalist on board and killing the iraqi pilot. and the help has come too late for more than 50 children who have already died. as this humanitarian crisis unfolds, iraq looks set to get a new government. the prime minister nouri al maliki is increasingly isolated and has lost the support of many of his backers, but the question is whether a new government can unify iraq and defeat the islamic militants. for "cbs this morning," holly williams erbil, iraq. >> the obama administration is responding against tough comments from former secretary of state hillary clinton but

she is telling president obama that she's not attacking his foreign policy. in martha's vineyard the president and mrs. clinton are both visiting tonight. >> reporter: good morning. hillary clinton criticized president obama's refusal to arm moderate forces at the beginning of the syrian war and then described white house foreign policy as overly cautious. the president's inner circle is having none of it. the white house dismissed hillary clinton's criticism that president obama's caution in syria caused the isis menace to grow and now spill into iraq. >> not only do we not think that providing those arms to the syrian rebels at the beginning of that revolution could have timid the scales but we also had concerns about making sure we were vetting whoever was receiving those arms. >> reporter: the president's team also waved off clinton's accusation that mr. obama has been retreating from global hot spots. >> the notion that we haven't overreach and get involved in conflicts without asking hard

questions is something that the american people understand after the last decade. >> reporter: clinton told "the atlantic" great nations need organizing principles and don't do stupid stuff is not an organizing principle. when you are hunkering down and pulling back, you're not going to make any better decisions than when you were aggressively, belligerently putting your forward. a clinton spokesperson said she telephoned the president tell him she wasn't being critical. like any two friends who have to deal with the public eye, she looks forward to hugging it out when they see each other, said her spokesman. all this illustrates clinton's difficulty in defining herself, should she seek the white house. >> i talked to some people close to hillary clinton who said look, if she runs for president, she cannot run for barack obama's third term so how do we point out those differences without potentially offending not only obama but the hordes of

voters who elected him twice and still like him. >> reporter: that may have already happened. moveon.org accused clinton of sounding like a right wing war hawk. another echo of that a long-time obama watcher joked who knew hillary's 3:00 a.m. call would be to barack obama. norah? >> major, thank you. a bit extraordinary that hillary clinton called the president to say her comments were not meant to attack or criticize him at all. >> when clearly they would be interpreted as that. >> they'll be together tonight and hug it out. it's 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning," one man may have ruined the joy of first time parenthood for dozens of american couples. he s we have a cold front that's moving into the state that brings some showers into far northern california here we are just going to see a few passing clouds and mild temperatures. low clouds to start the day out the door you can see hovering over san francisco looking from oakland right now. as we head in toward the

spend more than a billion dollars each year hiring egg donors surrogate mothers and egg donors all over the world. but the pitfalls it comes with can be devastating. >> reporter: the commercial was alluring. for couples interested in surrogacy births the medical tourism company planet hospital and its founder, rudy rupak, offered sunshine, an exotic location, and at the end of the road -- a baby. it was, in addition to his other businesses that offered discount surgeries from hip replacements to kidney transplants. with surrogacy, planet hospital would connect couples to a supposedly reputable clinic in mexico that did the procedure at a fraction of the cost in the u.s. >> everyone is extremely happy. >> reporter: but jonathan daily, a washington attorney would beg to differ. he says he paid rupak and planet hospital $37,000 and got

nothing. >> there are good apples in surrogacy, but he is the heart of the bad apple. >> reporter: daily told us his egg donor never showed up. that when he asked rflt upak to give back his money. >> he literally shut down operations. no more surrogacy, no more communication. >> reporter: daily says he knows of 40 other cases of money taken for services nefver rendered. rupak, a canadian national says he lost track of what money was coming in and where it was going. you seem to be like unable to control cash flow which is kind of a fundamental thing of a business isn't it? >> i guess. i guess. but there is a difference between not being able to control cash flow and outright stealing the cash which is what i'm being accused of. i've not done the latter. >> reporter: rupak kept accepting payments like dailies

with. it's just an unusual thing. >> but -- >> it speaks quite a lot about loneliness loneliness. it may be my own issue. i thought it was significant was experiencing. >> you do pick your friends. maybe it is not a co-incidence that your two characters share a bond over substance abuse, and apropos, sadly, of the robin williams news very serious mood disorder bipolar, which i were writing about for a commercial film. you started this ten years ago. >> yes. >> and you felt that people would come to a commercial film with bipolar -- i mean i'm -- props to you. >> honestly? i am interested -- i was inspired by movies of the '70s. i loved those movies. i wanted to do a movie that was slightly socially conscious and based on reality. i don't really do a lot of judgment of my characters but i'm interested in what i think is a sort of state of animation

right now which has to do with our inability to feel and maybe our desire to not feel. i think we use substance abuse and this character does certainly. of course, zach's character is mentally ill and they are kind of living in a world that looks like they're in a movie. like they're in some kind of sonar comedy. as the mfb goesovie goes on you realize owen's character has a substance abuse problem and the other character is mentally ill. i wanted to treat that with some seriousness. to me it is a complicated issue of like what is the solution to that. it's just a compromise. >> jane said this. this is so apropos because we are talking about robin williams. jane and i were talking about earlier, in the paper today the rates of suicide among men, middle-aged men, is up 40%. that's that state of alienation that you deal with in some ways in this movie. >> i feel like, you know you

can't control it. then the idea is that owen's character has to stop taking drugs and zach's character has to start taking medication. and i kind of was like that is the compromise of life. who even knows if you can ever get out of that. that's kind of what i was interested in. >> this is fascinating. all of this is brain related, too, as you know both addiction as well as manic depression. >> sure. >> but couple things about you. one is the way you write which is standing up just talking and having people record it. which is the way edward r. murrow actually used to write. >> i'm glad to hear that -- i will take anything in common with edward r. murrow. >> "mad men" 2015 has how many new episodes? >> seven. >> where do we take this now. >> my life? >> "mad men." >> it is the end of the show. >> yeah. >> it's been an incredible experience and it was incredible to, you know sort of peel

things off, first the writers stopped working. then the actors and the crew stopped working. now i'm in post-production with that group. the ironic thing is eventually i will be back alone with my computer which is sort of where i started. >> ten years ago when you started writing the feature film that we are talking about you might not have predicted that people would predict that tv is going to make feature films obsolete because tv is so good. "mad men," "sopranos," "breaking bad." >> the internet revolution is also part of that too. >> i think it is. and i think also the movie business is so internationally oriented that i think that to have a culture-specific language-specific adult drama or adult comedy you have to sort of go on tv. that's where the business model is. but i wrote the pilot for "mad men" 14 years ago. and then i wrote -- and it got me my job on "the sopranos."

i wrote it movie during my first two seasons of "the sopranos," and then i got to do "mad men" three or four years after that. i have this continuum of like not being anywhere near when i write something to when i get to make something. for me you think of a story, you try to be a story teller and is it a movie? is it a tv show? i don't even know. i'm just happy to get to work. >> congratulations. matthew weiner. great to have you again. >> great to be here. >> "are you here" opens in theaters a week from friday. ahead, the farm-to-table movement leaves an award winning chef with a bad taste in his mouth. >> reporter: is it possible to grow better tasting food that's also better for our planet? i'll have the story of one man who says our food's journey from field to

the idea behind the farm to table movement is to get you eating food with local ingredients, including animals raised humanely. but one of the nation's leading chefs is challenging that thinking. >> good morning. dan barber wants each chef diner and home cook to ask

themselves one question before they shop for dinner or eat out at a restaurant -- what can the farmland around my dinner table adequately provide without pumping the ground full of artificial fertilizers and pesticides? >> reporter: inside this kitchen, chef dan barber calls out orders. not based on with a diners requested, but based on what the farm harvested that day. when people come to your restaurant tonight is the waiter going to hand them a menu? >> we have no menus here. there is a lot of pushback for a menu. people are waiting a lot ing aing a two months and spending a lot of money. equal number of people who come here and say, oh there's no menu? thank god, i don't have to decide. >> reporter: restaurant deliberately atroidz handing out menus and instead lets the farm dictate the kitchen. >> it is more about nature than imposing our diet on nature.

>> reporter: barber recently wrote the third plate, field notes on the future of food. a food manifesto calling for major changes in the american diet and how that food is grown. what is the third plate? >> it is a metaphor for a way of eating for the future. it is a radical relook at our expectations. >> reporter: instead of the typical american dinner where the protein takes center stage, barber asks americans to make vegetables the main act. >> i don't love the angle of the american diet needs to be more healthy. what's the definition of health? i don't know. i know less sugar, i guess. probably a little less fat. but really it's about what is the landscape want to provide and how can our diet be fashioned to support that? >> reporter: barber implements the third plate mentality at his two restaurants. blue hill restaurant in new york city, and blue hill at stone barns barns.

barber grew up on a farm. locally grown to him means cooking with produce grown outside the kitchen door guaranteeing the highest level of nutrition, and of course flavor. what one spoonful of something could you offer an american that kind of illustrates what you are talking about that you are missing out on in your current diet? >> what time of year are we talking about and where? >> right here. >> peach. i tasted the first flush from this farm. i've been munching on them all morning. but i'm so excited about this lowly pea. >> reporter: his methods of farming extend beyond the pea to the pig. all his animals are raised humanely on the stone barn's farm. the way these chickens live this is part of the overall plan. >> yeah. free range. actually, they're freer than me and you. >> and they prefer this over the feed that chickens usually get. they like the buds and the grass and -- >> oh yeah. yeah. they like freedom. they get to eat what they want to eat and it produces better

taste tasting. >> the all-stars of summer tomorrow produce, tomatoes and corn rarely wind up on the dinner plate. they require too much fertilizer and deplete the land. >> if you think of soil as a bank account and you are eating a tomato a tomato is like the hummer of the vegetable and fruit world. and everything we eat -- wheat, corn, rice, the ones we really covet, these are the most expensive. these are the big withdrawals from the bank account. >> reporter: sustainability may be an investment but the payoff is in flavor and the future. >> the way to convince americans that the future is going to be different for a plate of food is through a delicious plate of food. i put my money in the idea that people are going to be motivated to spend a little bit more money potentially, spend a little bit more time, sure. i think we are looking at more diversity, more flavor more potential for more nutritious and delicious food. that's exciting. >> dan barber says this food revolution will have to be led

by chefs like himself. if diners like what they eat in restaurants, they might be willing to copy those dishes at home. of course, americans have proven to be very adaptable with their you think about sushi or creole food was not so popular a few decades ago. now it is a part of the diet for many americans. >> i like his idea. i really do like his idea. >> and his food is good. >> another tough assignment. don, thanks. and you're watching "cbs this morning."
