7:03 am
welcome to cbs this morning. dozens of countries now say isis is a threat they cannot ignore. representatives from those nations are in france this morning to discuss a response. some arab countries are even offering to take part in military action. >> today's meeting comes after another western citizen was beheaded at the hands of isis. a video shows the execution of british aid worker david haines. elizabeth palmer is in london. >> the release of the video over the weekend really gave fresh momentum to the conference in paris this morning. and to the u.s.-led effort to form an international alliance against isis. secretary john kerry will lead the american delegation at this meeting. hosted by french president francois hollande would personally greeted another key leader iraq's president foud
7:04 am
massoum. the british government has a direct interest in joining. not only was haines a british set zen, but his presumed executioner, the same man would appeared with the american journalist sotloff and foley, is believed to be britain. prime minister cameron said britain had to confront the menace of isis. >> islam is a religion of peace. they are not muslims, they are monsters. >> believe about 500 british men and even some women have fought with isis. david haines' brother, reading from a prepared statement, said that isis poses a direct threat to every nation and religion. >> we are seeing more and more radicalization in every walk of life. it is not a race religion or political issue. it is a human issue and it is in our everyday lives. >> david haines' life was taken
7:05 am
for the simple reason that he'd gone to syria to help as an aid worker. in their latest video, isis said they'd kill again. another aid worker named allen henning. as a horrified world now learned, they mean it. that conference in paris has already produced some action. the french government has asked for and received permission from the iraqi government to overfly isis territory with fighter jets to help prepare for more air strikes. charlie. >> elizabeth, thanks. president obama says no american combat troops will be used on the ground to defeat isis. republican senator graham slammed that promise in an interview sunday. >> this is a turning point in the war on terror. we're fighting a terrorist army. not an organization. it's going to take an army to beat an army. and this idea will never have any boots on the ground to defeat them in syria. it's fantasy. >> cbs news senior security contributor mike morrell is a
7:06 am
former deputy director. mike, good morning. you heard what lindsey graham said. is he right? >> charlie, there's an old joke about intelligence officers being the skunk at the garden party and that's what i'm going to be this morning for everyone. i think it's wrong to say that we'll never need ground troops in syria and i think it's wrong to say we absolutely need them. we just don't know yet. let's see how this strategy works out of using the moderate opposition in syria as our army and then change down the road if necessary. >> so what do you make of the transaction what took place in paris and what that may do to the war effort? >> so i think the fact that the arab states are standing up and saying they're going to be involved is incredibly important here. it's incredibly important mostly politically. if the arab states are involved with air strikes and are
7:07 am
involved in other ways than isis cannot claim this is a christian war against islam. and that's very important. same role the arabs play in libya and it had the same effect. >> mike, do you think it will be a significant military contribute by these arab states or is this more of a political signal? >> so i think for some states their par tisticipation will be significant because they have significant capabilities. i think the most important point here is political. i think in terms of effectiveness, the most effective help they can give us is through intelligence. helping us penetrate isis so that we understand what the group is about and find the leadership and remove them. >> do you think isis is the most dangerous group that threat be the region and the world? >> charlie, that is a great question. our focus right now as a nation our focus as a world, is on
7:08 am
isis. but we have to remember that there are three other groups out there that i believe pose an even greater threat to the united states. al nusra in syria. al qaeda in pakistan which still poses a threat. probably the most -- the group that poses the greatest threat is al qaeda in yemen. we need to stay focused on all these groups even as we go after isis. >> mike morrell, thanks. tens of thousands of tourists are riding out one of the strongest storms ever seen at a popular mexican resort. hurricane odile made landfall near cabo san lucas. it's weakened to a category 2 this morning. it is expected to move over the baja california peninsula by tomorrow. some places could get up to 18 inches of rain. the hurricane pounded luxury hotels sunday. vacationers were stuck in hot conditions after the power went out. many hotels put them together in
7:09 am
crowded stuffy safe rooms. >> two raging wildfires in california focused more than 1,000 -- forced more than 1,000 residents to evacuate. the worst fire started sunday in a popular resort area near yosemite national park. damaged or destroyed at least $20 billionings. the rapidly spreading king fire threatens 500 homes. it has threatened 300 acres. drought conditions and strong winds are fueling both fires. this morning, the nfl players association repeatedly will repeal ray rice's suspension for punching his future wife. he attended a game at his former high school. it was his first public appearance since the nfl side lined him indefinitely. another player convicted of domestic violence spent sunday on the sidelines. >> so the nfl's new official domestic violence policy provides for a minimum six-game
7:10 am
suspension for the first domestic violence offense. the league took a more severe stance when it banned ray rice indefinitely. on sunday that policy as we certainly saw last night in san francisco, played out in two different ways. just hours before kickoff, the carolina panthers deactivated defense end greg hardy two months after he was convicted of assaulting and threatening his ex-girlfriend. coach rivera said he made the call right before the game. >> i made the decision this morning. it was my decision that it was in the best interest of the carolina panthers. >> reporter: in july a north carolina judge sentenced hardy to 18 months probation and a 60-days suspended sentence. hardy says he's innocent and is appealing. on the west coast, it was a different scenario. 49ers defensive lineman ray mcdonald took the field in san francisco. even though he's under investigation for an alleged domestic violence incident.
7:11 am
>> there have been 14 instances of domestic violence in the nfl over the past two years. they'll be more and more of these cases. each one of these will be based individually. >> reporter: the ground swell of criticism towards the nfl and commissioner goodell overflowed on sunday. >> are we supposed to separate a violent game on the field from violent acts off the field? if we do what message does that send? >> reporter: before sunday's game, one women's rights organization sent what they hope is a clear message. they flew banners own stadiums in cleveland and new jersey demanding that goodell resign. >> we like to see the nfl first and foremost start to enforce the policies they put in place. that sends the kind of message that people would look up to these players need to see and understand that there are serious ramifications for abusing women. >> roger goodell was expected to be at that 49ers game on sunday night. but he was not at that game.
7:12 am
another nfl star missed a game sunday because of child abuse. allegations against him. vikings running back adrian peterson faces charges of whippingwhip ing his 4-year-old son with a tree branch. the grand jury indicted peterson last week. manuel bojorquez. >> good morning to our viewers in the west. although the team plays in minneapolis, he has a home here in texas. if convicted, could face up to two years in prison. the vikings were without one of their key weapons sunday. >> the one thing you don't have is the home run ability peterson brings. >> former nfl mvp peterson was deactivated. before sunday's game peterson's case was a hot topic. >> i'm not the south. whipping is -- we do that all the time. every black parent in the south
7:13 am
is going to be in jail under those circumstances. >> my mom was wrong. she did the best she could but she was wrong about some of that stuff she taught me. >> peterson turned himself in early saturday morning. after being indicted by a grand jury thursday. >> parents are entitled to discipline their children as they see fit, except for when that discipline exceeds what the community would say is reasonable. >> cbs sports radio's nick wright has listened to the voluntary interview peterson gave to police. during a visit to peterson's home last may. the boy apparently pushed a sibling off a video game ride. >> that is what prompted peterson to take the child outside, have him take down his pants and underwear, remove the switch from the tree and administer the whipping where he estimates he hit the child 10 to 15 types. >> the boy lives with his mother in minnesota. >> the boy described that at times he had had the leaves from a switch put in his mouth. the boy's mother says he
7:14 am
described to her that daddy has, quote, a whipping room and a lot of belts. >> peterson also reportedly sent text messages to the boy's mother acknowledging the incident. >> this is paraphrasing you're going to be mad at me. i got him once really good on the front of the leg. >> peterson's lawyer rusty harden said his client was merely administering the kind of discipline he received as a child. adrian never intended to harm his son and deeply regrets the unintentional injury harden said. peterson was released on a $15,000 bond. the vikings are expected to address his deactivation this week. he could also face a minimum six-game suspension under the nfl's tougher new domestic violence policy. >> manuel thanks. former steelers head coach bill cowher also played in the nfl. we'll ask the cbs sports analyst about the domestic violence uproar and the league's response. that's ahead on "cbs this
7:15 am
morning." a rare childhood illness that's sent dozens of kids to the hospital has reached the heavily populated northeast. the enterovirus d-68 is confirmed in eight states this morning. health officials suspect the virus is spreading to more than a dozen areas. others i should say. doctor, good morning. >> good morning to you. >> how concerned are you about how quickly this virus is spreading? >> well it's spreading very very quickly. children coming back to school within a classroom and in closed space, on top of each other, provides a wonderful environment for this respiratory transmitted virus to spread. it looks like it's moving into new england. we'll see if it even covers more of the south in the next week or so. >> this virus is rare and not too much is known about it. what concerns you? >> well what concerns us is we don't know all this much about the virus. fortunately, although it makes a lot of children sick with fever
7:16 am
and coughing and sneezing and the like, a few of them have to be admitted to the hospital because they're having trouble breathing and it can also cause asthma attacks. fortunately, no children have died. >> assume some of the indications or symptoms you should look for, what else should you look for in terms of your child? >> high fever. difficulty breathing. a child with a rash. that's this virus' picture. and if your child obviously is having some trouble breathing or you've had as ma attack asthma attack, bring them to the doctor. hillary clinton's return to iowa's in the headlines. the former secretary of state and her husband attended a major democratic party gathering and people there wanted to know one thing, is she running in 2016. nancy cordes was there for sunday's event. she join us from des moines the state capital. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you
7:17 am
and our seeviewers in the west. it's not just that she came to iowa for the first of the all-important caucuses. it's this harkin steak fry has a long tradition of launching campaigns. >> hello, iowa. i'm back. >> reporter: a cheerful bow fulful but coy hillary clintoned an an event that had all the trappings of a campaign stop. all tried to divine whether her starring role here means she's running for president. >> it is true i am thinking about it. but -- but for today, that is not why i'm here. i'm here for the steak. >> reporter: the last time she came for the steak was in 2007
7:18 am
when she was running. >> good afternoon, iowa. >> reporter: her top five democratic opponents were there too, including then senator barack obama. at this year's event, everyone treated her like a candidate, from the supporters on the rope line to the dozens of volunteers who flew in to hand out buttons and signs in this key caucus state. >> this whet your appetite for another campaign? >> we're just here today to support democrats. >> reporter: iowa was supposed to be the state that cemented clinton's front-runner status in '08. instead, she came in a surprise third and her campaign never fully recovered. in her book, she called that loss excruciating. which might help explain why she hasn't been back to iowa until now. >> it's really great to be back. let's not let another seven years go by. thank you all very much. >> reporter: clinton isn't the only potential presidential candidate courting iowans 16
7:19 am
months before the iowa caucuses. vice president joe biden who is also mulling a run is set to be here later this week. guess what guys he headlined the harken steak fry last year. >> all right, nancy, thank you. >> it's clear, she paying a lot more attention to iowa this time than in 2008. >> it's extraordinary to think it's been seven years. >> exactly. >> she'll be back. >> lots of republicans. >> they didn't talk to the president, the clintons were both there but they were flipping steak. it was a steak fry. flipping a veggie burger as he remains a vegan. all right. it is 7:19. ahead on cbs this morning, is senator rand paul the isolationist everyone says he we are starting out with a couple of patches of fog outside right now. very cloudy along the coastline. a mix of sunshine and clouds as we head in toward the afternoon. out toward the beaches more sunshine to be found in the valleys as high pressure sits overhead. going to bring some warm

7:33 am
now because they've been arming and creating a safe haven for them. as it is now, i think they're more of a threat because of the armed islamists in syria. >> have you changed your views on aid to israel? >> excuse me? >> have you changed your views on aid to israel? >> i've always said don't give aid to give to anyone if we don't have it. but i've a also aid said as we begin to pare down, why don't we start with the countries burning our flag. i'd take the same position that netanyahu has taken about foreign aid, that even israel should one day be independent of it. >> the "washington pot" has a piece call your evolving views on policy interest and pointed out in june when asked about air strikes against isis, you said
7:34 am
i'm not sure where the clear-cut american interest isset and now you're criticizing the president saying he should have acted more diseaseishly and now you support. r it. let many ask you, what is the clear cut? >> what i have said is the president is required by the constitution to come to congress. so since the beginning of my public life i've always said congress declares war, not the president. it's the president who's changed his position. back when he ran for office he said no president should unilaterally go to war without the consent and authority of congress. i still maintain that view and always have maintain thad view. >> back to norah's question about it. you described yourself as an isolationist. they call you a real list. how do you see it? >> they say you're changed. you're no longer an isolationist you're on two siesd of the issue. all i've been sayingcy i'm not an isolationist.
7:35 am
i've looked at every incident whether we need to be involved. i look at it reluctantly. i don't want to be involved in war. i am like most americans. i am influenced by the beheadings of americans and now a british journalist. i think it's going to unite the world against isis. but i have steadfastly been against hillary clinton and president obama's plan in syria. >> even though some argue that it might have prevented isis becoming what it is now. >> they're absolutely wrong. for example, had we bombed syria last yearing had the president actually got what he wanted and what hillary clinton wanted and to bomb the heck out of assad, my guess is isis would now be in damascus. >> the issue was not bombing. the issue was whether they should support the pre-syrian forces in syria and if so they would have been likely for isis to get as strong as it got. >> actually charlie, the issue
7:36 am
was both bombing assad and arming the rebels. 've been doing both at the behest of hillary clinton and president obama. i would say one of the insightful piece of news i got last weekend is some so-called moderate rebels have signed a cease-fire with isis. really their enmihm is assad, so they don't care what isis does. most of the arms we've given to them has wound up in the hands of isis or we miss takingly give it to the radicals. it's made our problem much more difficult. >> do you want to be defined within your party as a different kind of republican? because you have suggested to some iowan that perhaps the party was stressing only some issues same-sex marriage which
7:37 am
you had morals on. >> i want to reach out to new people we haven't been reaching out to. i frankly think we are the party of voting rights we're the party of the billing rights and emancipation that we should be the party reaching out to the african-american public saying, hey, give us another chance. many of the libertarian issues are saying you know what your government should always allow you do have a trial or a lawier. these things are important whether you've ever been a nigh north, whether it's an ideological one or racial one that we need protections against an overzealous government and i think lit resonate as we take it to new communities. >> how close are you to announcing you're going to run? that e've been the iowa a couple of times and new hampshire. i'm going to continue to travel to grow the party to whip. i'm going to continue to go to place others haven't gone.
7:38 am

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it is monday, september 15th, 2014. welcome back to cbs this morning. more world news ahead, including the stormer steelers coach looking at the nfl's domestic violence problem and how to fix it. first here's a look at today's eye opener at 8:00. >> the u.s. effort to form an international alliance with isis. >> i think it's wrong to say we'll never need ground troops in syria, and i also think it's wrong to say we'll absolutely need them. we just don't know yet. let's see how this strategy works out. >> the hurricane made landfall overnight with top winds of 110
8:01 am
miles an hour. >> two raging wildfires in california forced more than a thousand residents to evacuated. >> if we saw san francisco last night, the nfl's new official domestic violence policy played out in two different ways. peterson could face up to two years in prison if convicteded. children coming back to school provides a wonderful environment for this virus to spread. >> described in isolationist but those close to you say, nope, he's really a realist. how do you see yourself? >> they're all saying you've changed. you're no longer in isolation. therefore you're on two sides of the issue. all i've been saying is i'm not an isolationist. >> smart people do dumb things. >> they're still people. allegedly. >> little splenda with your coffee? >> yes. >> how does your coffee taste this morning? >> i've never turned anybody at this table.
8:02 am
>> i'm charlie rose with gayle king. some 30 countries this morning promised appropriate military aid to have iraq take on the forces of isis. the united states is pushing more countries including arab nations to join the fight against the terror group. >> now the the meeting comes after isis released another murderous video. this weekend it shows the beheadingbehead ing of a british aide worker david haines. prime minister david cameron says britain will hunt down his killers. the ray rice suspension and accusations of other players dominated the pregame shows. >> that guy should never been to the feel again. i don't want to hear about how he grew up what he learned. this was a whipping of a 4-year-old boy for god's sake. >> parents are the role models. we really don't know these guys. you see them on television. in fairness we never brag about the good guys.
8:03 am
when a jock makes a mistake, we make him the poster child. >> whether you like it or not, kids are looking up to. kids are looking up to you and emulating you. to me there's a responsibility that goes with that, when you're on that platform. >> the last word from bill cowher of cbs sports. in 2006 cowher led the team to the first super bowl title in 26 years. this season he adds thursday night football to his duties. good morning. >> good morning, norah. >> interesting discussion certainly this weekend as more players sort of caught up in this ray rice wake if you will. really should football players be role models? >> they are. it's not even a choice. you're put on the pedestal. and it's not for everybody. you know i've said it before. should you be held to a higher standard? yes. that's who people are looking up to. >> why hasn't the nfl or coaches held the players to a higher standard? >> unfortunately that's been the case. there's been a lot of
8:04 am
inconsistency with the discipline that's been out there. ray rice adrian peterson you're getting the desired results. they're being taken off the football field because that's the only deterrent you're going to have to these players. >> i want to come back to those questions that are very important, but also these questions. should roger goodell resign? >> i think robert was hired as an investigative reporters. the two owners are family based. they have gone through three commissioners. t peter azell and now roger goodell. they'll put the nfl first. i think we have to find out what exactly they find in the report to see then what the appropriate action would be. >> in the court of public opinion, mr. goodell isn't fairing so well. based on what you know with the league, the players, the coaches, the owners what are you hearing? how can it be an independent investigation. >> >> his reputation was at stake at first. you look at the owners.
8:05 am
they're going to have a connection to a lot of people. they're very prominent people. you're taking two family-based owners who had the nfl in the forefront of what they think is going to be done best. so i'm not concerned about that. and to me the bottom line is let's just make sure we get some kind of uniform good lines. that's what's missing in the nfl. >> can we talk about today's news? which is ray rice plans to appeal the suspension through the nfl players association. here's what i found interesting in reading what goodell said in response to the p.a. he says the video shows a starkly different sequence of events from what you and your representatives stated to me on june 16th. as important new information that warrants reconsideration of the disciplines imposed to you in july. in the letter making the same point he made in the interview to us. ray rice and his representatives did not miss -- misrepresented what actually happened on the video. then we learn what happened from espn no ray rice told the
8:06 am
commissioner, no i hit her. i hit her in the face. what is it? >> again i think it's an interpretation. when you have any kind of indictment, and i said yesterday. we need to take the players off the field. form late a committee to find out and get information. >> when they're accused. >> only indictment. he played with san francisco last night. you have adrian peterson and ray rice. they were indicted. take them off the field. then put the appropriate suspension to that. take them off the field and still pay them. you're going to have to have collaboration. >> and if you're deactivated, you are still on pay? >> unless you are suspended, yes. >> the teaching moment here that the nfl and america has to be much, much muchl aware of how much domestic violence there is. whether a child, a wife or a woman. >> i woke up this morning and
8:07 am
said unfortunately through these circumstances. we are getting the effect. if i'm a player in the national football league i'm going to think twice about what we do. we're in a transparent world. we can't do the same things we did back when i was aplayer. you have to be careful about where you go who you're with and who you're seeing. in the national football league it's a privilege. if you can't give that up it's knob for everybody. get a job. accept the responsibilities that go with that. you are a role model no matter what they say. that's the platform that you're on. >> really well said. >> thanks for having me here. >> thursday night football continues this week. coverage of the buccaneers and the falcons begins thursday at 4:30 p.m. eastern time here on cbs. >> tim cook is putting his mashlgmark on apple and talking about the company. we talked about apple's new
8:08 am
products and the growing issue of privacy. he says google is the direct competitor. he says the search is different because of the way it collects consumer data. >> we've taken a very different view of this than a lot of companies have. our view is when we design a new service, we try not to collect data. so we're not reading your e-mail. we're not reading your i-messages. we can't provide it. it's encrypted and we don't have a key. so it's sort of the door is closed. but our business is based on selling these. our business is not based on having information about you. you're not our product. our product are these. and this watch. and so forth.
8:09 am
so we're on a very different company. i think everyone has to ask, how do companies make their money? follow the money. and if they're making money mainly by collecting gobs of personal data i think you have a right to be worried and you should really understand what happened. and the companies should be transparent about it. from our point of view you can see what we're doing on the credit card thing. we don't want it. we're not in that business. i'm offended. so i think people have a right to privacy. so i think that's going to be a very key topic. and it will reach higher and higher levels of urgency as more

most kids, are a normal part of growing up. not everyone can be a foster parent... but anyone can help a foster child. good morning, well, unfortunately we are still seeing big delays on northbound 880 because of that big rig crash in san leandro. as brian just said beginning to reopen lanes and all lanes are now reopened on the southbound side of the nimitz and northbound 880 only one is blocked. but we're seeing major delays still from alvarado niles, heading out of union city into san leandro still really backed up. but this is a live look into oakland where southbound 880 traffic is beginning to recover. it's actually slower past the accident scene into free font. the bay bridge toll plaza still backed up east of the maze and 580 is probably the worst approach. have a great day.
