7:04 am
the big vote was in and the big scare was over. scotland had voted to stay in the uk, and the no to independence camp were as relieved as they were happy. in the end the vote spread was larger than the nervous last-minute opinion polls had predicted. through the night the results dribbled in. the pro-uk side edging narrowly ahead. but the big population centers would determine how this vote went. finally the biggest city, working class glasgow reported, and it went for independence but not strongly enough. the battle was effectively over. the nays had it. even alex salmon had to admit, his dream of independence was over -- for now. >> as scotland has by majority has decided at least at this stage not to become an independent country. >> reporter: "at this stage" is

baghdad. in washington last night the senate went along with the house approving president obama's plan to train and arm syrian rebels fighting isis. the president praised the bipartisan show of support. >> the barbaric murder of two americans, these terrorists thought they could frighten us or intimidate us or cause us to shrink from the world. today, they're learning the same hard lessons of petty tyrants and terrorists that have gone before. as american, we do not give in to fear. >> bill plante is at the white house where officials still face tough questions about the president's plan. bill, good morning. >> morning and good morning to our viewers in the west. there have been more than 170 u.s. air strikes in iraq but president obama still doesn't want to call this war. and officials in the administration continue to argue over how to describe this fight and the role that u.s. service members will play. testifying on capitol hill secretary of state john kerry again faced repeated questions over whether the u.s. is at war. >> a lot of people are debating
7:07 am
this idea of what do you call it, do you call it war, don't you call it war. it's not a war like iraq. but if you care about what you care it, it is a war similar to what we did with al qaeda. >> scores of heavily armed u.s. service men are already working alongside iraqi troops. dense spite the danger. despite the danger white house press secretary earnest said they were not in combat. >> they would not be personally responsible for engaging the enemy in combat. >> reporter: but he acknowledged that role could change. >> american military personnel will have the equipment they need to defend themselves. >> reporter: obama took a more emphatic stance. >> the american forces that have been deployed to iraq do not and will not have a combat mission. >> the motion is agreed to. >> reporter: crossing a final hurdle senators approve the president's request for authority to train moderate syrian forces. but it didn't come without
7:08 am
criticism. >> why is it that the president of the united states keeps telling the people that are slaughtering thousands, don't worry, we won't commit ground troops? >> this is a military strategy i believe, designed around political promises. this is not the military strategy you would create to destroy or devastate isil. >> it's not just members of congress that are not convinced. some generals are also very skeptical that the no boots policy can hold. that's likely to come up later this morning when secretary of state kerry chairs a meeting of the u.n. security council on the situation in iraq. >> bill plante thank you very much. isis is showing a fifth western hostage in a new online video. he is alive. british photo journalist john cantlie sits wearing an orange jump suit. cant canti cantlie was kidnapped in 2012

extreme heat and drought in the region, the king fire has become the second largest fire in california this year. fighting it costs about $5 million a day. there is some good news about this fire. the rapid growth that saw it more than triple in size explode significantly yesterday and its movement now is towards the northeast and that's largely into wilderness areas and away from more populated areas. >> john blackstone thank you very much. in texas, there's too much rain. large sections of the state remain under flash flood watches. in the austin area the search resumes today for a sheriff's deputy deputy. officials fear she was swept away by floodwaters. in austin where another round of heavy rain is expected. >> reporter: at the height of the torrential storm that drenched awful withinustin with more than 5 inches of rain authorities say a sheriff's deputy disappeared,

7:18 am
so kids prefer that. they made the change because actually some new research is showing it's more effective in that age group. so it's a good thing. >> your recommendations for seniors as well right? >> that's right, until now people over the age of 65 it's been recommended they get a shot for pneumonia. that hasn't changed, but the cdc also wants them to get a second shot against thatpneumonia. both fight the bacteria in different ways. >> norah asked, can i get the mist too and not the shot. >> it's for between the ages of 2 and 50. if you're not pregnant. if you fall out of that range, you get the regular flu shot. >> we should be getting our flu shots now? >> absolutely. flu season peaks between december and february. actually it starts in october and goes through may. last year in my practice we saw a cluster of cases right around halloween. so the shot takes two weeks to kick in. so the sooner you get it the better. >> is it ever too late to get the shot?

do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. switching to xarelto® was the right move for mary. ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. no regular blood monitoring; no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options download the xarelto® patient center app call 1-888-xarelto, or visit goxarelto.com ♪ in the nation... the safest feature in your car is you. add vanishing deductible from nationwide insurance and get $100 off for every year of safe driving. which for you, shouldn't be a problem. just another way we put members first because we don't have shareholders.

morning he's doing well. the vet says after he recovers he should be able to walk normally. on the season premiere of "60 minutes" sunday steve croft takes us inside a multimillion dollar tax scam. con men using stolen data to get money from the irs. >> for this fraud, all you need is a lab top, someone's social security number, date of birth, not even their name. they can do it from their kitchen table. they can do it at a fast food chain restaurant. or they can do it on the beach as long as they haveactually corey williams says you don't even need a laptop. you can file phony returns on your cell phone if you have the right app. he used to be a legitimate tax primarier until his boss turned him on to the scram.scam. before he was arrested, he'd made millions.
7:34 am
>> anybody who knew about it, you'd be a fool to not get involved with making some money. i could wake up in the comfort of my own home and just get on the laptop do about 15 returns a day. 15 times $3,000 is $45,000 a day. >> so you had a home office. >> yeah i used to work in -- i would work in my boxers. yeah. >> it's as easy as one, two, three. williams gave us a demonstration. one, you collect or buy a list of stolen identities that are readily available in miami if you know the right people. two, you go to one of dozens of tax preparation sites online and, using the stolen social security numbers and dates of birth, you fill out a completely bogus w-2 form claiming a modest refund of a few thousand. >> it has given us a refund of $4,834. >> three you tell the irs if you want the refund mailed to
7:35 am
your house wired to your bank account or loaded on to a prepaid debit card. you have any idea how many return, how many bogus returns you filled out? >> it would be like in the thousands. >> did the irs pay all of them? >> on a percentage range, it said they would pay out 40% of the tax returns. >> wow. if you have the same questions you do, why is the irs sending billion, of dollars to con men in a scam it apparently can't stop? you'll find out. "60 minutes" on cbs. >> i'm fascinated by corey's thinking. you'd be a fool not to take advantage of this. and then he ends up in prison. some states have new laws targeting photographers who take pictures underneath women's skirts but a texas appeals court, if you can believe this said legislatures there went too far. appeals ruled on wednesday a law intended to stop voyeurism is
7:36 am
unconstitutional. jan crawford is in washington this morning. she's also a lawyer so she has the story behind this decision. jan, we're confused does this mean now it's okay to take pictures up women's skirts? if so help us understand the court's ruling. >> first of all, not right -- not necessarily, gayle, about the first question about whether or not it's going to be okay. there's things that skates can do. what happened here texas didn't do it the right way. they passed a what's called a hidden camera law over a decade ago. it basically prohibits someone from taking an illicit photograph of a person in a public place without their permission. it wasn't specifically about what you were talking about, gayle, up skirting where they're taking pictures up under your skirt. no one had even heard of that when this law was passed. this is children in their swimsuits at sea world. he argued that the law in texas was just so broad, it was unconstitutional. because the way it was written, it would ban all kinds of
7:37 am
photographs in public places and the texas court, we saw, agreed with him. >> what was the judge's reasoning? >> he said the word used was just breathtaking. because it can cover -- this is shocking if you think about it. it could cover almost any photograph in a public place that was taken without the person's consent. so even news photographers who take pictures of say celebrities on public streets, that would have been banned potentially. that's why you even saw some media groups weighing in against this law as violating the first amendment. >> i know you say in this particular case you don't think texas did it the right way. does the ruling have national implications? >> this case is only affecting this texas law. but what it is going to do is send a signal to these other states that if they want to ban up skirting, like i think most skirts do, they have to do it the right way, pass new laws
7:38 am
that focus on that specific problem. it's that kind of invasive behavior. someone's like zone of privacy. that's probably not protected by the first amendment. i think you're going to see texas and some of these other states try to rewrite the laws and update them to more directly ban upskirting. >> our correspondent and favorite legal expert jan crawford thank you very much. the a.l.s. ice bucket challenge is facing cold hard facts. the best-run charities can run into trouble after hitting the fund-raising jackpot. that story's next on "cbs this morning."
