water is california's lifeblood. a fourth straight year of drought will put a major drought will put a major dent in agriculture, a $45 billion industry. last year alone, farms in the state lost $2.2 billion worth of crops. much of the west has also been abnormally warm this year, including of all places, alaska. where barren ground has forced the starting line for the iditarod sled dog race to befo moved more than 200 miles north. the warmth also extends to the pacific ocean with water temperatures up to five degrees above normal, forcing fish to migrate north, leaving sea lion pups almost a thousand of them stranded and starving along the san diego coast. the storm that is now in california is already pushing east, with yet again more warm air to come, and no rain in site. carter evans, cbs news, lose. angeles.

blamed for taking so many lives, apparently considered taking his own. britain's mail on sunday said mohammed emwazi sent e-mails it to their reporter in 2010 which revealed a paranoia that british security forces were closing in on him. sometimes i feel like a dead man walking, not fearing they may kill me, instead he wrote, maybe i'll take as many pills as i can so that i will sleep forever. emwazi cites an example when he tried to sell his laptop on- line, it was convinced the buyer who met him was an intelligence agent. he shook my hand and said nice doing business with you, mohammed. emwazi goes on to write, i never give out my first name it was impossible for him to know it was my first name. his edgy attitude, a different picture than the grinning schoolboy at a london elementary school. although this new photo of emwazi as a teenager shows a more menacing engineer.

he was thought to be living in this london neighborhood when he contacted the paper and already part of a loose network of young muslims called the north london boys.th which has sent dozens of jihadi recruits to fight in somalia and syria. and not long after he sent those e-mails, his name appeared in court papers for his alleged association with a group involved in the provision of funds and equipment to somalia for terrorism-related purposes. the north london boys or london boys as it is sometimes called has been referred to as an osama bin laden sleeper cell, jeff. and that neighborhood has aan reputation as a breeding ground for muslim extremists. two somali men convicted for trying to bomb the london transit system in 2005 live less than two miles away from emwazi. >> glor: charlie d'agata, thank you very much. in moscow today, tens ofto thousands took part in a march of mourning. they honored boris nemtsovrn

session of congress has turned mood a diplomatic and political fire storm it is exacerbated an already rocky relationship between president obama and prime minister netanyahu, and enraged democrats who say they have been put in the uncomfortable position of appearing to choose between israel and the president. >> the animosity between the white house and the prime minister is no secret here in this town. >> reporter: appearing on "face the nation", house speaker john boehner defended his invitation and said netanyahu can talk about the threat from iran better than anyone.an >> the threat coming from iran and the iranians having a nuclear weapon, is a threat to the region. it's a threat to the united states and it's a threat to the rest of the world. >> reporter: the u.s. and five other nations are approaching an end of march deadline to strike a deal with iran that would ease economic sanctions in exchange for restraining the nuclear program. netanyahu says that iran would threaten's israel's survival. before leaving for the u.s. today, he described himself as an emissary of the jewish people.

>> democratic senator diane feinstein who is jewish told cnn, netanyahu doesn't speak for all jews. >> i think his rather arrogant statement, i think the jewish community is like any other community there are different points of view. >> reporter: feinstein said she would still attend the speechep but more than 30 democrats areut planning to boycott it. kerry and vice president biden will be out of the country. and jeff, president obama, won't meet with netanyahu while he is in washington. officials say they don't want to appear like they're intervening in israeli elections later this month. >> glor: julianna goldman, thank you. house speaker boehner is downplaying the infighting among republicans for the last minute vote to fund the homeland security department for one week. some want funding tied to overturning president obama immigration actions. on "face the nation" boehner told john dickerson the squabbling is over tactics, not goals. >> we do have some members who disagree from time to time over the tactics that we decide to employ. but remember, republicans are

united in this idea that the president has far exceeded his constitutional authority. and we all want to do things to stop the president from his illicit activity. >> that is the thing, are you all working, you want to do the same thing but they are absolutely undermining you. >> we get in an argument over tactics from time to time.ar the goals are all the same. >> but do they have a plan that could have succeeded and passed and signed by the president that would have gotten them what they w wanted this small group that you say basically undermined your efforts.ro >> not that i know of. >> so was it fruitless? >> it's the house of representatives, as it said in the opener, the house is as rambunctious place. we have 435 members. a lot of members have different ideas about what we should and shouldn't be doing. >> you can lead those members?>> >> i think so. i think so. i'm not going to suggest it's easy, because it's not. >> glor: boehner says will pushpu for the house and senate to meet this week to hammer out their differences and fully found dhs.

schlesinger. always good to see you. it is amazing to think it was 15 years ago. >> it took that long because that is how big that bubble was. of course we go back to the nineties was real innovation at that time. the problem is that investors grabbed any part of that new economy that they could, regardless of whether a company was profitable or not. from 1992 to 2000, the nasdaq index went from 600 to 5,000. that's quite a ride. and then by the time we peaked in march of 2000 to the end of the year, that index was halved. >> and the question is what happened to that new economy. >> you know, it's still hear let's be clear that there was real innovation at the time. i think the problem is that people were paying anything to t get a piece of it. and we look at pets.com, remember that iconic sock puppet. it is the great example of the boom and bust. >> oh, wow, he's got a stuffed thing, i love stuffed things. >> here is a company that was started in 1998.d really got huge fast. they raised $82 million in the beginning of the year 2000. o
