7:04 am

7:07 am
>> good morning, charlie. >> what do you make of this? >> when isis first came into our consciousness consciousness, you'll remember that we talked on this show about two near-term threats. one was isis sending fighters who had gone to syria back here to conduct attacks. the other was folks here who isis would be able to radicalize with their message. i think that's what we saw yesterday in canada. that's certainly what we saw in canada three days ago, and just yesterday in britain the british arrested a woman who had been planning attacks who had been radicalized by isis. we're starting to see one of the two threats become a reality here, charlie. >> what about radicalized canadians coming across the border, how easy would that be for them? >> i'm much more concerned about the canada border, charlie, than i am the mexican border because it's much easier to come across
7:08 am
that border. to stop somebody who's been across the border requires that you know about them, the canadians know about them and tell us and they try to cross legally. you know there's many, many ways to cross that border illegally. so i worry about that. >> mike we saw canada raise its threat level. what about the u.s. threat level? >> norah, i'm more worried about a terrorist threat in the united states than i have been for a long, lock timing. because we have this self-radicalization problem ourselves. we've got the possibility that isis might send fighters here to conduct attacks. we still have al qaeda in pakistan, al qaeda in yemen and the group planning attacks, and the fact that what edward snowden did has made it much more difficult for law enforcement and intelligence to track these guys. so we are at, i think, a very dangerous time here. >> that's scary to hear you think you're more worried than any time. take us behind the scenes.
7:09 am
what is the government doing to stop such an attack? >> in terms of the "insider" threat, norah, really the only thing you can do is monitor extremist websites and see who goes there and see what kind of conversations they have there. and if those conversations start talkiing about violence, then the fbi can open up an investigation and take a look at that person, but that's a lot of ifs to be able to find someone who has been radicalized. >> is there anything to raising the threat level or show a more heightened sense of alert about this? >> i think there's value in raising the alert level because it tells people you're focused on the threat. i think there's value in raising security around sites that might be attacked because i think that deters people. i think all that is positive. >> michael, thank you. >> you're welcome. a maryland community has a program to find lone wolves before they turn to terror. now the obama administration is watching. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." in washington, another intruder jumped over the white house fence last night.
7:10 am
a maryland man faces charges this morning. bill plante is at the white house, where this time the secret service was quick to respond. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, and good morning to our viewers in the west. this was the seventh time this year someone has jumped the white house fence on the grounds but this time it was despite the heightened security around the white house following the last intrusion. >> get down! get down! >> reporter: shortly after 7:00 p.m. wednesday dominic adesanya jumped the fence along pennsylvania avenue. he was taken down immediately by two dog, part of the secret service canine unit. after an initial struggle with the dogs he was subdued by a team of agents. adesanya, who was unarmed, was charged with two felonies including an assault on a police dog. he is in custody with u.s. marshals for previous outstanding warrants. two secret service dogs were taken to the veterinarian and treated for minor bruising.
7:11 am
>> what the secret service got right was the employment of manpower. its layers of defense. and in this case the dogs to actually prevent the fence jumper from getting too close to the white house and certainly not having to use lethal force. >> reporter: this coming just a month after omar gonzalez jumped the white house fence carrying a knife. he actually got into the white house. he got into the east room before he was stopped by a secret service agent near the green room. that incident prompted the construction of a temporary second fence along portions of pennsylvania avenue. gonzalez's breach in addition to a number of other embarrassing secret service blunders, led director julia pierson to resign. joseph clancy took over as interim director this month. unlike the last time, the president was at the white house when this incident happened last night, but the jumper was captured so quickly he was never considered to be in any real danger.
7:12 am
>> bill, thanks. this morning, the justice department reportedly is investigating the japanese company who made dangerous air bags. we've been following the story for weeks. jeff glor is here with the information on their responding poorly. >> two federal safety regulators released an unusual statement overnight, not only saying they made mistakes but that the threat from these air bags is greater than first realized. seemingly minor accidents like this are among those being investigated. an air bag deploys, yet shrapnel it sent firing out. this one happened in florida. >> the only difference between this piece of shrapnel shooting him in the leg than the heart were inches. it was just a small difference and luck. >> reporter: the flying metal from takata air bags has been linked to three deaths and 40 injuries. now in a new release, the national highway traffic safety administration or nhtsa is acknowledged the risk
7:13 am
from these air backs may be, "significantly greater than previously identified." especially they say in warm weather states. the air bags contain a canister filled with a chemical propellant. in these case rupturing the metal canister sending the shrapnel out. nhtsa acknowledged their urgent advisory sent on monday was inaccurate. they've corrected it by nearly doubling to 8 million the number of cars whose air bags were affected. the previous number was 4.7 million. it revises the makes and models that have been recalled. the agency is being hammered by some lawmakers including florida senator bill nelson. >> i have no patience for federal regulators not being entirely up front, forward leaning, and aggressive to stop these defective products. >> reporter: as calls increase for the recalls to be expanded the search feature to find affected cars on nhtsa's website
7:14 am
did not work the last two days. to be safe drivers are being told to check the websites of individual automakers. norah? >> jeff, thank you so much. a record 1.7 inches of rain fell wednesday in portland. streets had so much water you could find fish swimming by. meteorologist meteorologist danielle is tracking the storm. >> good morning, everybody, good morning to viewers in the west. areas of rain impacting the pacific northwest with torrential downpours as well. this moisture will continue at times. periodically through the day today, with heavier bands of rain eventually tapering off as we head through the overnight tonight. tomorrow, a little break in the action. but another storm going to impact the region here as we head into later friday friday night and saturday eventually enough cold air gets worked in here as well that we get that rain to change over to snow in the higher elevations. temperatures, chilly and raw, only in the 50s in the pacific northwest, 70s down across california and nevada.
7:15 am
norah, charlie, over to you. >> danielle thanks. in rhode island a nor'easter left cars stranded this morning and heavy rain battered the boston area. winds hit 60 miles an hour at plum island off the massachusetts coast. nine people in connecticut are quarantined because they may have been exposed to ebola. they include three students from the university and a faculty of six. so far, none of them show any symptoms. >> new cdc guidelines are in effect this morning. they require people flying from ebola-stricken countries to be monitored for symptoms for 21 days. in seattle, a nurse is being watched after she treated patients in west africa. meanwhile amber vinson released this selfie last night. her family says she's free of the disease and is now out of isolation. a verdict this morning in a shooting that inflamed worldwide anger over the war in iraq. blackwater security guards shot more than 30 unarmed iraqis in
7:16 am
baghdad in 2007. more than a dozen of them died. on wednesday, a federal jury in washington convicted four of those blackwater guards. clarissa ward is here. she's been to iraq more than a dozen times. good morning. >> only one of the four guards nicholas slaten was convicted murder. he could be sentenced to life in prison. the other three face up to 30 years each on manslaughter and weapons charges. no date has yet been set for sentencing. on sunday the 16th of september, 2007, a convoy of american contractors from blackwater security opened fire on a line of cars at a bustling baghdad intersection. during the assault that witnesses say lasted 20 minutes, over 30 iraqi civilians were shot. up to 17 died. the contracts claimed they were fired upon first. but witness after witness came forward to say the americans shot the iraqis entirely unprovoked.
7:17 am
following the 2003 u.s.-led invasion, hundreds of blackwater security contractors were employed to guard vulnerable diplomats in a volatile iraq. but undisciplined behavior and a string of accusations implicating them in attacks on iraqi civilians, gave blackwater the reputation of trigger-happy mercenaries who saw themselves as above the law. this 9-year-old was the youngest victim that day. this iraqi lawyer survived the attack but only just. one of the bullets passed right through him. the shootings were seen as a turning point in u.s./iraqi relations and sparked a series of anti-american demonstrations. in the years that followed the u.s. paid compensation to the families of victims and blackwater lost their lucrative contracts with the state department. the shooting placed enormous
7:18 am
tensionen on u.s./iraqi relations but american officials pleaded with their iraqi counterparts to have faith in the judicial process so these guilty verdicts will be seen as a diplomatic victory for the u.s. even though the trial took seven years. >> are the iraqis reacting at all? >> it's interesting. on social media, we're not seeing a lot of reaction from the iraqis. there's a sense the security situation is so bad, they're so focused on isis that they're too worried about the future to be thinking about the past anymore. the world series is tied this morning after a late rally in ks city. >> the royals scored five runs in the sixth against san francisco. a two-run homer by omar infante. led to a shouting match between the teams. no punches were thrown. the royals beat the giants, 7-2. game three tomorrow night in san francisco. >> and it is just about 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning," free shipping offers that cost more than they used to.

good morning. here's a live look at conditions across the golden gate bridge. it was a little slow a few minutes ago on doyle drive but it's cleared out. so now midspan all the way in san francisco is moving for the most part at the limit. a little bit of a tight squeeze closer to san francisco. it's the bay bridge and the approaches that have been our hot spots since early this morning. there was a fender-bender on the span near treasure island. we are seeing some improvements now on 580. 880 though and the eastshore freeway is still pretty backed up. that drive time not budging almost an hour. male announcer: right now, at sleep train save hundreds on beautyrest and posturepedic. choose $300 in free gifts with tempur-pedic.
