welcome to "cbs this morning." gayle king is off. this is supposed to be the first day of school in ferguson missouri. instead that st. louis suburb is shaken after another night of violent protests. police fired tear gas and smoke grenades to disperse a crowd last night. some of the demonstrators threw firebombs. >> the town is facing ongoing violence since an officer shot and killed an unarmed teenager on saturday. mark strassmann is in ferguson. >> reporter: good morning. another rough night here in ferguson. street clashes between police and protesters. 16 arrests, one injured police officer and no sign that this frustration on all sides is going to let up any time soon. and now a second witness has come forward to the weekend shooting of michael brown here in ferguson. a fourth consecutive night of

violence erupted in ferguson last night. >> we just said hands up, don't shoot. [ gunfire ] >> you must disperse immediately. this is no longer a peaceful protest when you try to injure people. >> reporter: ferguson police just said released a statement asking protesters to assemble only during daylight hours. even those protests have been met by a heavily armed police presence. >> return to your vehicles. return to your homes. >> we were out there peacefully demonstrating and we thought that as long as we're peaceful there's no violence everything's okay. then the next thing i know there's tear gas. >> go go. you don't have time to ask questions. let's go. >> reporter: several journalists were allegedly physically assaulted by police. officers stormed a mcdonald's where ryan reilly and wesley lowery were working, telling them to stop recording and leave. >> let's go. you can move let's go.

monday because of everything that's happening here. >> mark, thanks. pope francis landed in seoul, south korea, today. on tarmac he was greeted by south korea's president. he also met families of the victims of the country's ferry disaster. seth doane is in seoul. seth good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. 10% of koreans are catholic and the vatican is said to be focusing more and more across the region really across asia where likely membership numbers for the church are on the rise. that even may include china. and when you're the pope you can send a message simply in the path your plane travels. on his chartered flight to seoul today, pope francis flew over china. that's significant because the last time a pope wanted to fly through chinese airspace was in 1989, and beijing refused the request. despite an estimated 12 million

catholics there, china does not have diplomatic relations with the vatican. it hasn't since the communist party took over in 1949. today, as is customary for each country he flies over the pope sent a telegram to china's president. it read "upon entering chinese airspace, i extend best wishes to your excellence see and your fellow citizens and i invoke the divine blessings of peace and well being upon the nation." in china, the majority of catholics worship in underground churches. another 5.5 million are members of the official chinese catholic patriotic association, which does not let the vatican appoint bishops. this family has been catholic since the dynasty 700 years ago when missionaries first came to china. i hope china and the vatican could reach common ground she said, and one day the pope will

visit china. today in seoul, the pope met with south korea's president. and then for the first time made a public speech in english. >> may god bless you and all of the people. >> reporter: that was the first of four scheduled remarks that the pope is prepared to give in english. some vatican watchers say it could be a dress rehearsal for a likely pope trip to the u.s. in september, 2015. norah. >> all right, seth thank you. a five-day cease-fire continues this morning in gaza despite a shaky start. talks between israel and hamas are under way in cairo. just after the truce was announced last night, hamas launched rockets. israeli forces responded with air strikes on gaza. still, negotiators are hopeful they can reach a long-term peace deal. progress and hope this morning for the stranded refugees in iraq. the pentagon says food and water deliveries are helping thousands survive after being forced out by the terror group isis.

david martin is at the pentagon where defense officials continue to stress the american troops will not take on a combat role. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. at this time yesterday it looked like the u.s. military was about to launch a massive rescue operation to avert a humanitarian disaster. but then a small team of green berets and aid workers got a firsthand look at conditions on the ground and found there were far fewer refugees than feared. after weeks of flying up to 60 reconnaissance missions a day over iraq and estimating the number of refugees at anywhere between 15,000 and 35,000 the pentagon ordered osprey vertical takeoff and landing aircraft to fly several teams of green berets in the northern iraqi city of erbil. they landed on tuesday and within hours, about 20 green berets boarded blackhawk helicopters to conduct a day-long reconnaissance mission on mt. sinjar where the

refugees were stranded. at the same time the green berets were on the mountain the president's deputy national security adviser, ben rhodes was assuring reporters u.s. troops would not go back into combat in iraq. >> he's repeatedly said we do not want to be reintroducing combat forces on the ground. >> reporter: the pentagon released a statement saying the team found far fewer refugees on mt. sinjar than previously feared. because of nightly air drops of food and water, the remaining refugees were in better condition than previously believed. as a result, the statement concluded, an evacuation mission is far less likely the refugees had been stranded on the mountain after fleeing their homes in the face of an onslaught by militant fighters who go by the name isis and consider them to be devil worshippers. the local governor told holly

williams isis intends to wipe out the yezidi religion. >> if we didn't get the help of the world, international help they would die there. >> reporter: the yezidis have been through an ordeal but it now appears that air drops kept many of them alive and air strikes kept the isis fighters at bay so that many of the refugees could get off the mountain without the need for a gigantic u.s.-led rescue operation. charlie. >> david, thanks. a record-setting storm that swamped the northeast is hitting maine this morning. portland maine, got more than 6 inches of rain since yesterday. across the state nearly 8,000 homes and businesses are without power. the same system dumped more than a foot of rain yesterday in new york. vladimir is in the hard hit town of islip. vlad, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. rain was forecast to hit this area, that wasn't a surprise

but no one could have predicted this. you can see behind me police roadblocks not letting anybody through. aerial footage shot this morning shows neighborhoods still flooded with water. at least one person is dead in what some are calling a once in a 200-year storm that took this area completely off guard. >> in 14 years we've been here this is the worst. i've never seen this ever like this. ever. >> reporter: what felt like an endless deluge drenched parts of new york wednesday. at one point more than 10 inches of rain in just two hours. >> so the event that occurred today was unprecedented. >> reporter: local officials here admitted this area was not designed to sustain this kind of weather event. >> the drainage systems in the county are designed to sustain a five-inch storm over a 24-hour period. this was 13 inches within several hours. >> reporter: for some, the rare flooding brought back memories of superstorm sandy that

pummeled the area just two years ago. >> it's like devastation all over again. over by us we had overturned cars and people were -- one guy was bleeding. his windshield caved in. >> reporter: hundreds of cars were completely submerged and drivers were forced to abandon their vehicles. >> we got here and the water was just overwhelming. the cars were all getting stuck and floating actually. >> reporter: firefighters rushed to save motorists stranded on the highway, while drivers stood helpless outside their cars as the flooded roads brought traffic to a stand still. >> i wish i never left the house this morning, okay? that's how i feel. >> reporter: forecasters say the storm that rolled through here actually picked up moisture off the coast of new jersey. it was meant to actually keep rolling through the area but instead stood right over long island and that's what brought the historic rainfalls. >> all right, thank you. the white house says there were no stormy discussions between president obama and hillary clinton last night. they shared a table at a party on martha's vineyard. earlier in the day at a book

signing, the former secretary of state talked about her criticism of the president's foreign policy. >> clinton told "the atlantic" magazine great nations need organizing principles and "don't do stupid stuff" is not an organizing principle. she referred to a phrase that president obama used in may. clinton said she is not trying to distance herself from the president. >> we have disagreements, does any partners and friends, as we might very well have but i'm proud that i served with him and for him and i'm looking forward to seeing him tonight. >> the obamas and clintons were guests at a birthday party for a mutual friend. kevin ward jr. began racing when he was 4 years old. his dad says he would drive a cart around a homemade track in his backyard. this morning kevin ward sr. wilbury his son. he's demanding answers of tony stewart who killed his son saturday night.

don dahler looks at the awards. >> reporter: kevin ward sr. says there's no reason for the crash that killed his son. he said that tony stewart was the best damn driver by far on the track that night. why he had to go up as high as he did and hog my son, there's no reason for it. he goes on to say apparently tony stewart was the only one driving out there who didn't see him. the one person who knows what happened that night is possibly facing ten years in prison. is he going to say what he done. video from the scene shows kevin ward jr. hit the wall after he and fellow driver tony stewart collided on the track. moments later the 20-year-old gets out of his car. several drivers whiz by him but when stewart comes back around he hits ward fatally. ward sr. says he and his wife watched for 45 minutes as emergency crews performed cpr on their son to no avail. officials have said there's no evidence of criminal intent but stewart could still face charges in connection with ward's death. ward will be laid to rest today

in booneville new york. his father says he was a special person to many and a very special person to his family. >> don, thanks. traffic is frozen right now along a major southern california highway. the 60 freeway is shut down in both directions near los angeles. a tanker truck carrying milk jack-knifed about 90 minutes ago. that accident caused seven other vehicles to crash. some caught fire. at least 14 people are hurt five of them critically. an american ebola patient is getting stronger. nancy writebol continues to recover at emory university hospital in atlanta. her husband, david, updated her progress to "cbs this morning." >> she keeps telling me that she's doing better bit by bit. she's sounding stronger each time that i talk to her and just letting me know that the doctors are giving her good reports. >> now, he's quarantined himself as a precaution after his return from africa. the fda is packing a potential game-changer for people who don't get enough

sleep. some 60 million americans have a form of insomnia. it affects 40% of women and 30% of men. the government announced the approval of a ground-breaking type of sleeping pill. dr. carol ash is the director of sleep at meridian health. welcome. >> thank you charlie. >> what's different about this one? >> this is an exciting new drug. it really is a new tool in the tool kit for the treatment of insomnia. typically sleechping drugs are a knockout punch to the brain. they knock out circuits throughout the brain. kind of think of a house where you get a surge and electricity goes off for the refrigerator the tv not just the lights. so this drug actually is like a switch that turns off just the lights. it works by inhibiting orexin which is a neurochemical that actually wakes up the brain. it stimulates the areas for wakefulness, so it's very focused. >> it still has some of the side effects that other sleeping pills have? >> yes, unfortunately. that's why the fda actually

delayed the approval of this drug because when they initially tried to launch it they used higher dosages that actually caused things like drowsy driving and even suicide. so it was really initially a concern. >> when will it be available? >> well it's approved by the fda and now it's going through approval by the dea. and one thing, charlie, even though, yes, any sleeping pills have side effects, the consequences of insomnia are serious. they can result in depression diabetes, hypertension drug abuse, and even death. so you don't just want to use medications. there's other things that you can bring into the mix, like behavioral therapy that can really help. >> other than the question of side effects, there's also the question of dependency. >> yes. well, the statement from merck is that in their studies they didn't see any dependency or any problems with withdrawal. whenever they do these studies on a small number of patients we have yet to see what's going to happen when you expand it to large populations. >> dr. ash, good to see you.

>> americans eat three to four times of the recommended daily assault. salt is an essential daily nutrient but when you get too much it increases the volume and causes high blood pressure and it damages vessels and causes plaque to build-up quicker in the arteries and puts a strain on the heart. >> what is the danger of too little salt? >> there is controversy about how low to go. these two studies that came out in the new england journal this week question maybe lower than three grams a day might be associated with increased risk and there is concerns about how the study was conducted in how salt was measured. >> so how much is just right? >> exactly. it's a moving target. you would think it would be an easy answer. but the american heart

interesting movie, reflections on robin williams who passed away and all of us is who think of him this week. >> you asked me to come on afterwards. it's been a tough week to collect your thoughts and think about those implications. because when you knew robin, he made everybody else's life so good. i'm sure you encountered him in an interview or two, charlie. he was just so funny and so bright for you. and if you made a movie with him, you know he was so good for the crew. but, you know the story that i always remember and i spoke to matt damon and ben affleck when we made "goodwill hunting" when robin won his well-deserved oscar, the first day -- this reminded me, katie plays with alexander who plays the father in "the giver."

he played opposite the professor from robin williams first role just got off the boat from sweden and robin says let's welcome him to america. i'm going to change the script you tell him it's all about improvisation. here's this scene about mathematic formulas and robin comes out and goes jack nicholson and then gus is pointing to -- like in a state of shock and then he does jack and de niro and does 15 things and the crew is totally straight faced while gus is shooting. and then stelen starts to ad lib this swedish gibberish. and then when gus yells "cut," 180 members of the crew exploded with laughter and stelen looked around and goes "what happened to me?" and robin told him what was going on.

every day with him was like that. for billy crystal and robert de niro, there are people who are so close to him, i just you know i e-mailed billy last night, just too tough for a lot of people to deal with this. this is just an act of shock. >> and the amazing range he had from dramatic acting to improvisational standup was stunning. >> we'd give him one scene in "goodwill hunting," we'd say one for robin and one for us. inevitably, there was always something that he added to that film. and right on the spot just a brilliant mind at work. >> the film that you have put together "the giver" is out. we all enjoyed watching it. it's an interesting story for people who haven't read the book. it's about a society with no conflict, no wars, no sadness, and also no love and no emotions. katie, what did you think when you first got the script? >> well i really loved the

script and then i read the book and i, you know immediately understood why it's so beloved. and i think these themes are very important. what i love about the movie is you really see these two, you know -- you see this extreme society and -- >> that's perfect in many ways because there's no conflict. >> no war, no pain. but then you see jonas go through having all these memories and these beautiful human moments. and it's wonderful to see on screen these wonderful life moments. and to me the movie is very emotional when you see it. you know it's a celebration of life in many ways because you're seeing what happens when you take away freedom. >> i agree. >> a lot of powerful ideas here too, harvey. >> you know katie and alexander are both getting really strong reviews, and they mirror meryl streep and jeff bridges, and i

really went to merrill andyl and her daughters closed the deal. three of my daughters had read "the giver," they heard it was being discussed they said you have to make the movie. i called meryl right away and said have your girls read the book? she said they all loved it. climate control, caused us pain overpopulation caused us pain. she goes through all the reason why the world is perfect and why there's pain now. just to see the two great actors be on the opposite -- meryl makes you believe that totalitarianism had a reason. you think about it but at the end no one wants to sacrifice their freedom. >> katie makes you believe she's the mother of a teen-age boy. great acting.

there's a particular scene where your teen-age son asks you and his father "do you love me?" and your reaction and you are in life a mother. what is your reaction to his question? >> i believe it's precision of language because in this society where you're not supposed to speak of such words. and so it was an interesting role to play because, you know she is the keeper of these rules and yet she has this child who's been chosen to start breaking the rules and experience things that are beyond her level of understanding or experience. and i think that -- >> i just would like to speak on behalf of the teen that we loved having you here this morning. >> she speaks for us.

became a mother and i instantly realized as i think all of us do because it's obvious, the educational opportunities that are available for my children are very different than those available for most children. and the inequality that exists in this country in terms of choices is something that we have been trying to address for decades and have failed to address for decades and it's reached a point where i think you see people on all sides of the political spectrum agreeing that our public education system is in crisis. >> why is tenure the reason for the inequality? >> it's not just tenure. it's the way tenure works together with dismissal protections that tenured teachers have that no other public employee has, which makes it almost impossible to remove a grossly ineffective or incompetent teacher or even an abusive teacher. you read stories where teachers engaged in sexual misconduct

with kids and they still can't remove that teacher and it will take years and hundreds of thousands of dollars. all the evidence shows the single most important school-based factor that determines a child's success in life is the teacher. so why wouldn't we do everything possible to get the most effective teacher possible in the classroom. >> you both should answer this what your critics charged. you focused a lot of time and money and one of the best lawyers in the country on an issue like tenure when many people say budget cuts to schools and inadequate funding is really the reason there's inequality. >> you have to deal with those also. there a lot of problems in our educational system and we got to deal with all of them. but if we don't deal with the problem of getting the best teachers and keeping the best teacher and paying the best teachers, we're not going to have quality education. >> teachers are an essential link to education. >> it is essential. >> you may be arguing at face

value because often the question of tenure and the teachers union is considered people on the side of the democratic party and you're a well-known democrat. and when you put together same-sex marriage the same thing was asked about your conservative partner, law partner, arguing the case because he was a conservative. >> i think the thing that liberals really believe in is equal opportunity. we've been fighting for equality in this country for decades in all sorts of areas. 60 years ago we decided it was wrong finally to segregate our schools based on race. we're now segregating our schools based on economics, we're segregating our schools based on where a child's parents live. and it has the same corrosive effect of destroying people's opportunity as racial segregation did. >> so it's a civil rights issue. >> it's a civil rights issue.

education is a basic civil right. if you don't have a base beingic education, you lose all of the rights. >> we got a response to the lawsuit in new york. "tenure does not mean a job for life, a cloak of incompetence but instead empowers to help kids and instead we base dismissals on just causes." >> nobody is stripping teachers of due process rights. the teachers have all the due process in the world and they deserve all the due process in the world. to say tenure rules are reformed, look at what happens in new york city. look at the number of people who cannot be dismissed, despite misconduct despite the fact that even the teacher union

recognizes they're not fit to be in the classroom. this is not an attack on teachers. for the vast majority of teachers, it will make it a more professional -- >> is it an attack of the teachers union? >> it is an attack on certain aspects that are hurting students. i believe in unions but it doesn't mean unions are always right. >> it's a case where you think on tenure and dismissal, unions are wrong for fighting for that? >> we need better teachers we need to be able to reward teachers. you wouldn't go to a hospital or law firm where the doctors and lawyers were not retained on merit, where they all had tenure regardless of competence. parents feel the same about schools they send their childrens to. >> there's been a study the effect of kids in nontenured states. massachusetts tenured, mississippi not tenured.

they do better in massachusetts, they do less well in mississippi. would you like to address that? >> sure. to again with mississippi spends a lot less money on education than massachusetts does. it's got an entirely different social background. what you have to do -- >> why not wage a cam panpaign on that? >> well you should and we are. part of education equality is to deal with those issues too. but the ability to keep and retain the best teachers is an important aspect of it. the right comparison is take massachusetts schools where there is tenure and massachusetts schools where there's not tenure and make that comparison and you come out with a different story. >> we're not saying this is a silver bullet. this is not intended to address every problem. it is a small part of the problem and all the other issues do need to be addressed. but there's no reason we should ignore this one if there's not a way to attack it.

>> this battle will be fought in the courts? >> it will be fought in the courts in the legislature. this is something, as campbell says, we have to address in a lot of different ways. both my parents were public school teachers. i believe in this fight. this something we have to do on every level. >> thanks david. thanks campbell. >> it's time to stick a fork in the stick but not before a beatle gets one last time to say good-bye. we're going to take you through more than 50 years of memorie
