welcome t welcome to "cbs this morning." the isis video showing another beheading is authentic. american officials confirmed steven sotloff was beheaded. the terror group posted the images yesterday. >> president obama said just this morning that he is repulsed by the killing, calling it a horrific act of violence. clarissa ward is in london. clarissa, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the president wasted no time addressing sotloff's execution, which comes just two weeks after the beheading of another american journalist saying that americans are disgusted by this barbarism of his killing and that his killers will face consequences for his actions. >> and those who make the mistake of harming americans will learn that we will not forget and that our reach is long and that justice will be served. >> reporter: the scene has become familiar. an american journalist kneeling in an orange jumpsuit in the desert delivers what appeared to be scripted final words. >> i am steven joel sotloff.
7:04 am
>> reporter: the executioner, disguised in black, blamed sotloff's death on president obama and u.s. air strikes on isis targets in iraq. >> i'm back obama. i'm back because of your arrogant foreign policy towards the islamic state. >> reporter: his execution comes two weeks after the beheading of another american journalist, james foley. an investigation is under way to see if the executioner, who speaks with a distinct british accent is the same man behind foley's death. sotloff, from miami, florida, had been reporting on the arab spring for "time" magazine and others for the past few years. his death comes in spite of a plea from his mother shirley sotloff, last week. >> i want what every mother wants, to live to see her children's children. i plead with you. >> reporter: a statement released by a spokesman last night said the family knows of this horrific tragedy and is grieving privately. there will be no public comment from the family during this difficult time. the video ends with a chilling
7:05 am
announcement of the next victim a british man identified as david hawthorne hanes. isis knows that these executions are unlikely to change the policies of the u.s. and its allies, but analysts say these videos have two purposes, to drive fear and more oar into the hearts of american people and to inspire new recruits to join the islamic state. >> thank you. with continuing threats from isis, another 350 u.s. troops are preparing to go to iraq this morning. the state department wants those extra security forces for its workers and buildings at the u.s. embassy in baghdad. the white house says the troops will not be in a combat role but this move does bring the total number of american troops in iraq now to over 1,000. cbs news senior security contributor mike morell is in washington. he is a former cia deputy director. mike, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what might come out of these meetings that the president is having in europe and might there be a plan to attack isis?
7:06 am
>> charlie, i think we need a three-pronged strategy and that's what i hope gets discussed at these meetings. one prong of the strategy would be in iraq which is to go after them militarily using the iraqi military and the kurds, backed by u.s. air strikes, underpinned by a political solution. second, we need to go after the leadership of isis. this is a very small leadership. a lot of command and control, a lot of sophistication. we need to take them off the battlefield. it will weaken the group. third, we need to find a solution to the problem in syria where they also control territory. that's the much more difficult problem because we also need in addition to air strikes, we need a military on the ground in syria to take these guys on. the only military around is assad's military and as you know, we're fighting assad as well. >> should we make a deal in this case with assad so you can get isis and make isis the priority?
7:07 am
>> i think the first thing we need to do charlie, toys try to pressure the russians and the iranians to pressure assad to step down. that is the best course of action here. to press him to step down to get a new leadership in syria who will work with us against isis. if that doesn't work then i think we need to rethink our strategy vis-a-vis assad, yes. >> mike, you heard the president very clearly this morning trying to do some cleanup from the week before where he said our objective is clear and that is to degrade and destroy isil but that does mean doing more than just in iraq right? does it mean strikes in syria? >> i think it means strikes in syria. i think it means a strategy in syria. and i think it means going after the leadership. it means all of those things norah. >> how do you go after the leadership? >> you need very good intelligence on where they are and then you either need to put guys on the ground to go get them or you need to use unmanned aerial vehicles to kill them. >> and mike i know this is
7:08 am
sensitive, but clearly that type of planning would be going on wouldn't it? >> i would hope so norah. >> one more quick question about libya, because there's dangerous ideas coming out of libya and events there suggesting an iraq-like situation. >> great question charlie. what's happening in libya is very similar to what happened in iraq. the extremists there, the al qaeda affiliated groups there are making a move to take over the country. they took tripoli this weekend. a lot of people aren't focused on what's happening in libya because what's happening in iraq is dominating it but we need to focus on libya as well. >> mike morell thank you. >> you're welcome. coming up, a closer look at the life of steven sotloff, his passion for showing the world what was happening in the most dangerous places no matter the risk. that's ahead. minutes ago president obama said the u.s. will stand by its allies in any conflict with russia. his remarks in estonia come as russian president vladimir putin says he's very close to finding
7:09 am
a solution to end the fighting in ukraine. kiev gave mixed signals today about a possible cease-fire. major garrett is traveling with president obama and is in tallinn, estonia. >> reporter: good morning. president obama described russia's military assault on ukraine as a brazen attack on international law in a speak to all baltic nations that border russia the president recalled a cold war era poem in part to answer the question on the minds of leaders in estonia, latvia and lithuania, what will happen if russia invades. >> so if in such a moment you ever ask again who will come to help, you'll know the answer. the nato alliance including the armed forces of the united states of america, right here present now. [ applause ] >> reporter: the president will soon leave for a nato conference in wales. there is expected a rapid deployment force will be authorized. the goal swiftly repel any russian military moves, official or in the guys of black cloud
7:10 am
irregulars as we've seen in ukraine, against any nato member nation. charlie. >> major thanks. terrifying video out of libya this morning. a fighter jet slammed into a busy neighborhood yesterday near the ejupt january border. you can see the plane rolling in the air before the noedssedive. three people died another nine were hurt. the plane was fighting as part of a tribute to another pilot killed in a crash last week. we're getting word three commercial airliners hit birds this morning while heading to new york city. all made it safely. it involved a delta flight from maine and cleveland along with an express jet flight from north carolina. no one was hurt. now to what could be one of the biggest data breaches ever to hit a major retailer. this morning home depot is investigating whether customers' credit and debit cards were exposed. it's not clear how many stores or shoppers could be involved but experts say it could be larger than the breach that affected 40 million shoppers at target last year.
7:11 am
in a statement home depot says protecting our customers' information is something we take extremely seriously. cbs news contributor and analyst mellody hobson is in chicago. good morning. >> good morning. >> so why do these security breaches keep happening? >> it's like that old saying why do you rob a bank? it's where the money is. the cyber thieves know they're the new organized crime that there's a lot of money to be made online because 60% of us are banking online. most of us are shopping online. so when they get these numbers, they can sell them. and just to use the target example, the estimates are that the thieves made in the neighborhood of $50 million from that one breach. >> so what are these companies going to do? what are potential targets going to do? >> well now what they're saying, target was the wake-up call. they knew that they lost almost $2 billion in market cap, their profits plummeted. the ceo lost his job. so now the retailers are saying we have to get in front of this and play offense.
7:12 am
on top of that the credit card companies have said that the new card reader technology hasn't been adopted by october of 2015 if there's fraud, the retailer is responsible. so now everyone is trying to get in front of this new card reader which has dual verification which makes the transaction much much safer for both the retailer and the customer. >> so let's talk about that new technology, we keep hearing about it called chip and pin technology. when is it going to be available? what does it mean for consumers when you're shopping? >> so i'm told i talked to one of the major retailers yesterday, in the next 18 to 48 months, you're going to see most retailers adopt this. now, interestingly, walmart adopted it eight years ago and even home depot has a lot of these card readers in their stores right now, but you need the new credit card. and interestingly, i just got my new amex that has chip and pin technology.
7:13 am
they sent me a letter saying that it is going to be safer. so this is now rolling out right now. and you'll probably see much much more of it coming if you haven't already. >> i assume that the credit card companies and others who are having to take these extra measures will simply pass on the cost of that to the customers, to their customers? >> again, i talked to this major retailer yesterday. i don't know how they can do that. now, the costs are huge. they're estimated to be about $8 billion to change all these systems around the country, but i don't know how they can pass it on. >> mellody hobson thank you. this morning a doctor treating pregnant women is the latest american victim of ebola in west africa. the world health organization says the number of infections could rise to 20,000 in the next six months. so far, five countries confirm ebola cases. don dahler shows us why experts say they're losing the battle against the virus. don, good morning. >> good morning. more than five months since the first case of ebola was confirmed in guinea health
7:14 am
officials say this flare-up is the largest and most complex since the disease was first identified in 1976. health officials are warning this morning is a global threat and they may have underestimated the outbreak. the infected american missionary doctor, who has yet to be publicly identified, is a male obstetrician, but didn't work in an ebola ward. he is said to be doing well and in good spirits, while being treated in isolation. but it is too soon to tell if he'll be evacuated from liberia. the two american missionaries to survive their diagnosis, dr. kent brantly and nancy writebol were treated with the experimental drug zmapp, but the supply is gone. so the pharmaceutical company which makes the drug is getting a $25 million boost from the department of health and human services to speed up production. the centers for disease control is calling this the world's first ebola epidemic and the world of the world health organization, margaret chan said everyone had underestimated the outbreak. >> the outbreak will get worse
7:15 am
before it gets better. >> reporter: ebola has been a test of already fragile health systems in some of the world's poorest countries. authorities have choked off entire towns by erecting quarantine zones, trying to stop the virus. calling the efforts so far too little too late doctors without borders says west africa is simply overwhelmed by the disease. >> we have been losing for the past six months. we must win over the next three. and we can. >> here in the u.s. there are concerns as thousands of foreign students and workers arrive on campuses at colleges and universities across the country. the cdc is asking schools to screen anyone who has been in the affected african countries in the past 21 days to voluntarily take their temperature twice a day. the countries where the outbreak is most severe sent fewer than 400 students to study in america. >> an interesting warning. don, thanks so much. two north carolina men spent 30 years in prison for rape and
7:16 am
murder, but they didn't do it. both are expected to be released today after their convictions were overturned. the courtroom erupted in cheers tuesday when a judge declared henry mccollum and leon brown innocent. dna evidence implicated another man. the mentally disabled half brothers were convicted in the 1983 rape and killing of an 11-year-old girl. mccollum faced a death sentence. there was no physical evidence. they were questioned without a lawyer and signed written confessions. they say they were coerced into giving. what a story. there's growing concern this morning that angry passengers are becoming a bigger problem in the air. just monday an argument over reclining seats forced a delta flight to make an unscheduled landing. it is the third case of its kind in nine days. jeff pegues is outside washington with growing evidence of turbulence among flyers. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, and good morning to our viewers in
7:17 am
the west. every day u.s. flights take off and land without issue, but a growing number of aviation organizations believe unruly passengers are an escalating problem. on a delta flight monday from new york to west palm beach, a dispute over space between two passengers got out of control. according to a police report after a 32-year-old woman put her head down on a tray table, the person reclining in front of her struck her on the head. three flight attendants reported that the 32-year-old became disruptive and combative. the plane was diverted to jacksonville. that incident was one of at least three in the last week where planes made unscheduled landings. but throughout the year flights are disrupted. in june, this jetblue passenger caused a new york to las vegas flight to divert to detroit. in november this man's threat -- >> there's a bomb on this plane. >> reporter: caused a spirit airline flight to divert. according to the airline's global trade organization in the past three years, there has
7:18 am
been one unruly passenger incident for every 1300 flights. the delays add up. one independent airline analyst says it costs $6,000 an hour plus airport landing fees for some domestic jets. steven wallace is a former accident investigator with the federal aviation administration. >> so at what point does a pilot decide to divert? >> i think diversion is the last resort. it's a tremendous inconvenience to the passengers and it's a tremendous cost to the airline. passengers may misconnect they may have to dump fuel if they're going off on a long flight and turn back right at the beginning of it so that definitely is a last resort. >> reporter: during a 12-month period ending in june there were nearly 15,000 flight diversions by u.s. airlines. that's an average of 41 a day. most of those cases involve planes being diverted because of mechanical problems or the weather. >> jeff, thanks so much.

8:17 am
does this apply to me can never be a bad thing. >> what's the bad side? >> the bad side is absolutely there's a lot of anxiety related to this and women do go understanding that there's really only a very small proportion of women that this gene actually affects. so a lot of women are rushing into their doctors with anxiety about the fact that they may or may not have this gene that really only applies to a very small proportion of people. >> it's remarkable to see in the study a 100% rise in people getting tested for it. you saw it in your own practice. let's remind everybody again what we're looking at, the brca-1, which angelina had, and brca-2. what does it mean if you have these mutations? >> everybody has these genes. we inheart one copy from our mother and one from our father. we all have the gene but it's a mutation or a faulty copy of the gene that's the problem. what happens is two copies means you have a backup in case one
8:18 am
gets damaged. when you inherit one faulty copy, what happens is you don't have any backup. if there's damage to that other gene, it leads to cancer formation. >> but even having that gene mutation does not mean you yao will get breast cancer. it only increases the likelihood. >> it increases the likelihood, norah, to a degree that it's highly likely you will get breast cancer. so the percentages vary but in general your risk is up to 80% or 90% to get breast cancer which is quite high. >> so more testing because of angelina jolie. does it also mean more mastectomies? >> it will for the women who clearly have the gene and carry the gene. and they have increased knowledge and increased options about what to do relative to their situation. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. it is a fresh take on saltwater. one big solution to the western drought could be rolling onto shore. that's ahead. you're watching "cbs this morning." you're watching "
