i never thought i'd see this moment. >> reporter: the decision comes after weeks of protests and days of heated debate over the flag's future in the wake of last month's massacre at the emanuel ame chrch. nine people were killed including senator clementa pinckney. >> we cannot be happy that we no longer have a symbol of division standing on our state house grounds. >> reporter: for 14 tense and emotional hours, lawmakers debated. republicans opposed to the flag's removal proposed over 60 amendments meant to slow down any decision. >> history is not always pleasant. history is not always roses. but it's our history. it's our collective history. >> reporter: but each amendment was beaten back by bipartisan support to take down the controversial symbol.

a tech failure affecting three major u.s. companies on wednesday was not a coordinated cyberattack. that's what's officials say after a string of problems affecting millions of people. technical glitches grounded dozens of united airlines flights, shut down the new york stock exchange and crashed "the wall street journal" website. jeff glor is at the stock exchange where investors hope for a better day in the market than wednesday. >> reporter: good morning. it was already set to be a rough wednesday here given the debt crisis in greece and the market mess in china. then this glitch hand and the exchange ground to a halt. officials suspended all trading at 11:32 a.m. for nearly four hours the normally raucous floor of the new york stock exchange was quiet. some 700,000 orders in the system had to be cancelled as they worked to fix a technical issue. >> the best thing to protect people is to shut the market down. >> president obama was briefed

by members of his national security team. >> there's no indication malicious actors are involved in these technology issues. >> reporter: the troubles surfaced just hours after united airlines experienced a network connectivity issue. >> we have a major situation with united airlines. >> at 8:00 a.m. the airline grounded all of its flights after a faulty router knocked out many of its computer systems. the outage affected 4900 aircraft and about 400,000 frustrated passengers. >> they send us over here and this is telling us to go back to the computer check-in. we're just running around in circle. >> reporter: then around noon "the wall street journal's" home page crashed. viewers were directed to another page until it returned. >> three so-called coincidences today. i don't believe in coincidence. i believe it's an event we don't have a reason for.

>> "the wall street journal" piece is connected to people flooding their website in response to the new york stock exchange. >> most people on wall street took the disruptions in stride. few gave credence to the conspiracy theories that hackers were behind it. >> it's an embarrassment for the institution, but things break and they fixed it and things will break again. >> reporter: united dealt with a different snafu last month that also ground flights. here at the exchange even though halting was traded it dud continue on other exchanges. both companies say there is no indication of a cyberattack and the dow jones is off to a very strong start. >> jeff thank you so much. the computer problems highlight the down side of our dependence on technology. dan ackerman with cnet is with us. a lot of people are saying this is more than a glitch. where is the backup? where is the redundancy. is this a wake-up call? >> it is.

we spend a lot of time and effort and attention and money protecting against hacking and cyberterror and cyberespionage. but the less glamorous part is the regular everyday i.t. work that keeps these systems up and running that we're so dependent on. three different cases where three different fairly basic bread and butter issues fell down. >> when something like this happens, if you can have internal problems like this, would that make these more vulnerable to external attacks? >> we don't pay enough attention to the internal systems. you can have a router that goes don and they didn't have another piece of hardware. you're down for an hour or so and the airlines are so tightly packed that has a ripple effect around the world. software update overnight. they find problems they have to get the backup and reinstall

that. >> i read an article where security experts said every company should expect to be compromised. it's how they handle that once it happens. what are hackers capable given all the interconnectivity we talked about? >> if these were malicious attacks they could have gone a lot further. what we've seen of hacking attacks, it's not something you see immediately. things like the sony hack and government personnel files hacked. things that happened months ago that you don't find out for a long time and it drips out piece by piece. if a light switch goes off, that's more likely to be an i.t. issue. >> we're going to have 25 billion devices connected to the internet. how vulnerable are we? >> we're vulnerable to deliberate actions but we're also vulnerable to the systems not working the way they should. they are so complicated. a mix of old and new. just getting everyone in the company on the same operating system is a huge challenge.

the dow is higher after this morning's open on wall street despite jitters over yesterday's shutdown. chinese police and regulators are cracking down on regulators accused of driving down shares with malicious short selling. seth doane is in beijing where the communist government is treating the turmoil as a major threat. good morning. >> reporter: a bit of good news in china. stocks have rebounded a bit after the government feverishly tried to stem those losses. still about half of all listed companies here in china have suspended trading. that's about $2.8 trillion worth of stock frozen. despite the up swing there were no sighs of relief and no smiles at this beijing trading hall as investors gazed at savings lost or in limbo. this is what everyone is watching. the company's names are in chinese. how they are doing is in this column.

these patches are green zeros are companies that have suspended trading. china's government has banned major shareholders and executives from selling shares. and a $19 billion market stabilization fund was set up to buy stocks. i would call this a major stock market catastrophe this man told us. we've never seen anything like this. he's a retired electrician we met at this trading hall. here small-time investors buy and sell stocks. more than 80% of the 90 million-plus chinese in the market are average citizens. many here are covering their faces with newspapers and shawls. they don't want to talk. the reasons are quite clear. they simply lost so much money. some tell us they've lost from 30% to 70% of their savings. one man told us his heart was broken. many were urged by the

government to get into the stock market. peng li shin is retired. >> that is real money. those are real fortunes being lost in there. he believes the government had done all it could to try to stem losses but added it remained to be seen whether it was enough to work. of course that's a view shared by many economists too. >> seth doane, thank you. passengers on a southwest flight arrived in boston after a scary start to their journey. the plane aborted its takeoff after an apparent engine fire. one person captured video of the sparks and flames as the plane sped down the runway. they boarded another flight to boston. jeb bush is clarifying controversial comments about americans and work hours. the republican presidential candidate faced intense criticism from democrats for

telling a new hampshire newspaper that americans need to work longer hours. critics say it shows he's out of touch. >> in an interview with the union leader wednesday, bush said we have to be more productive. workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows. people need to work longer hours and through their productive ut gain more income for their families. >> you can take it out of context. high-sustained growth means people work 40 hours rather than 30 hours and that by our success, they have money, disposable income for their families to decide how to spend it rather than getting in line and being dependent upon government. >> nearly 7 million americans who work part time should have the opportunity to work more hours. there is a new proposal to enhance end of life treatment for people on medicare. the federal program ensures 55 million americans about 80% of deaths each year come from that group.

major garrett is at the white house with the plan that would pay doctors for having end of life discussions with their patients. >> reporter: good morning. this move falls into the category of so-called death panels. if medicare reimbursed for end of life discussions pressure to keep government health care costs down could lead bureaucrats to make those decisions or interfere in the decision-making process. washington and oregon allow physician-assisted suicide for terminally ill patients. in this case all these end of life discussions will be voluntary. the goal according to the government is to make these traumatic decisions easier to cope with and reduce costs by giving individuals and families time to plan ahead on drug therapy, hospice options and using extraordinary means to keep a loved one alive. the administration is giving it a new name. medicare will not reimbrs for end of life discussions. instead for advanced care

planning. >> major, thank you so much. baltimore police have a new leader. the city's mayor fired anthony bass yesterday. they needed a change after a recent spike in homicide. a report blasted the handling of riots sparked by the death of freddie gray. chip reid is outside the baltimore headquarters. >> reporter: commissioner bass had been scheduled to hold a press conference yesterday about that critical review of his department. when the time came he was nowhere in sight and they were directed to the mayor's big announcement. >> this was not an easy decision, but it is one that is in the best interest of the people of baltimore. >> reporter: baltimore maor stephanie rawlings blake praised anthony bass' work but admitted growing questions about his leadership were distracting from the fight against crime. >> too many continue to die on our streets.

families are tired of feeling this pain and so am i. >> reporter: it comes 2 1/2 months after riots following the death of freddie gray while in police custody. >> the officers characterize the baltimore police department as unprepared politically motivated and uncaring. >> reporter: in a scathing review the police union claims the violence could have been avoided ponting to officers who said they lacked basic riot equipment, training and direction from leadership. >> the cops are going the opposite direction. >> reporter: as protests spiraled ot of control, officers were told not to intervene or wear protective gear. one officer felt like a sitting duck while another said bass led us quote, to slaughter. >> i want to tell you guys that i think i let you guys down. and i say that with a humble

heart. >> a significant percentage of officers are considering retiring or leaving within the next two years. >> reporter: last night batts released a short statement to the "baltimore sun" saying i've been honored to serve the citizens and residents of baltimore and proud to be a police officer for this city. >> chip, thanks. pope francis is in bolivia this morning. the second nation of his south american tour. his motorcade rolled through santa cruz a short time ago. he's celebrating an outdoor mass for a huge crowd in the city center. francis spent a few hours wednesday in the capital la paz. bolivia's socialist president gave him gifts, including a crucifix. he urged him to pucksfix his atmosphere of inequality. a republican warns donald trump to dial it back. ahead what the presidential candidate is say

suspended trading. commissioner betts had been scheduled to hold a press conference yesterday about his department but when the time came he was nowhere in sight. rnc chairman told him to tone down his comments on immigrants. >> illegal immigrants are causing tremendous problem in terms of crime, in terms of murder, in terms of rape. stephen colbert says he's prepared for the end after yesterday's computer glitches. >> we'll be fine i will lead us. >> the new york stock exchange was shut down for four hours due to a technical glitch. yes, that's a true story. they would have fixed it sooner but unfortunately all the people who know how are here at comic-con. [ cheers and applause ] >> i'm norah o'donnell with rena

ninan. the confederate flag will be lowered trour. it has flon for more than 50 years. >> state legislators voted over overwhelmingly against the flag overnight, following a debate that lasted all day and most of the night. the effort to remove it began less than three weeks ago after nine people were murdered at an historic black church in charleston. three major u.s. organizations hope this will be a quiet date after a series of computer glitchless. several technical glitches forced them to shut down operations. united airlines grounded all flights for nearly two hours when its computer reservation system failed. then the new york stock exchange halted trading for 3 1/2 hours because of computer trouble. the "wall street journal" website went off-line. senator jim webw is the latest to join the presidential race. webb is a decorated veelt nam war veteran, he was secretary of the navy under president ronald

reagan and most recently served one term as a u.s. senator. he jones us now for his first interview since announcing his candidacy last week. good morning, and welcome to the race. >> good morning. thank you. >> off and running. >> nice to be in it. >> i want to ask you about the headlines of the day. we learned that south carolina is removing the confederate flag. are you glad to see it gone? >> i think it's long been due to come down. the confederate battle flag was a battle flag. it assumed a lot of unfortunate races and divisionist overtones durng the civil rights era. we need to look at the complexity of the civil war itself where in john hope franklin's own numbers, most eminent african-american historian, only 5% of whites in the south owned slaves, only 25%

of the whites in the south had anything to do economically while at the same time there were four slave states that remained in the union, missouri kentucky, delaware if you were a young person called to duty this was a very complicated decision to make. we should remember that. >> is this why you didn't call for the immediate removal after the church massacre. >> i did say it did not belong in public places. my concern was this would go beyond the issues of harmony and unity that we want people on the table and into issues that divide us. we've seen a great sense of growth of unity in the american south since the civil rights era. the south has never been white against black, per se. it's always been a small veneer manipulating the emotions of white against black for all these other reasons. we need to look at jobs. we need to look at education, at harmony and bringing people

together. that's what i hope we don't lose with this. >> senator, you don't have a pact and don't want to seem to want to take pac money. how will you be a contender. >> what i said is i don't have a super pac. people can give us $2700 or contribute to a pac at $5,000. with the super pacs, you can write a $27 million check. my point is if that ethically bothers you, don't do it. say you won't directly participate. a lot of these other candidates have actually participated in this action that i think goes against the grain of what we are as a democracy. >> what's your path to victory. how do you run against a juggernaut like hillary clinton's campaign and what's your argument against her being president of the united states? >> i don't have a main argument against anyone who is running. we should put our issues on the tail and let the american people decide. i don't think you needed 2.5

million to become president of the united states. if you're going to get $2.5 million, let people contribute in the right way. i've read citizen's united. it taubs about independence. if you're going to have something like that it should be independent from a political campaign. we're not seeing that. if ethically that bothers you don't say you're going to support a constitutional amendment four years from now. just say you don't want to participate. >> you said you're not against hillary clinton. i want to ask you about a specific comment. you said the u.s. has not had a clear articulation of what american foreign policy is. does that include the time she was secretary of state? >> i believe that since the end of the cold war and particularly since 9/11 we have had a foreign policy based on situational ethics. i've been a strong proponent of how the united states military can connect around the world. we are the guarantor of stability in east asia. i've been talking about this since i was first over there as a marine. i worked as a military planner

in east asia. we led i think fairly -- we led this pivot toward asia in our office, in our senate office two years before -- >> let's talk about specific issues. iran, the president of the unted states said the odds of an iran deal are now less than 50/50. should we be going forward with the deal that secretary kerry is pursuing? >> i am very concerned about any agreement that would acquiesce to the idea that iran would eventually acquire nuclear weapons. we want better relations with iran. i've said this many times over the years. but since the iraq war the fall of the iraq war and the arab spring, iran has been much more active in this region. and we don't want to send the wrong signals to our allies and others in the region that we are acquiescing to a greater power that iran has. i don't see there's a hurry here

with respect to the agreement with iran and i wouldn't want to support any agreement that was acquiescing in their actually acquiring nuclear weapons over time. >> senator webb thank you very much for being with us. good luck on your campaign. >> thank you. good to be here. we're seeing new photos of britain's youngest princess and her extended family. kensington palace released the pictures a few minutes ago taken after princess charlotte's baptism on sunday. one includes the parents, great grandparents and kate's brother and sister. another shows charlotte with her parents and her older brother presence george. the photos were taken by mario testino, one of their favorite photographs. they look like a very happy family. chemicals in every day products could be impacting your family's health? dr. david agus is in our toyota green room

in our "morning rounds" new evidence of the possible health risk from chemicals in plastic. a series of studies look at replacements for potentially harmful compounds thought to be safer, but the alternatives may be just as risky, especially for kids. our dr. david agus is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> what did the studies find? >> about a decade ago a particular content was pulled from the market. it turned out to increase blood pressure and caused endocrine disruptions in kids. >> talking bpa? >> no this is dimp, they do the

same. made to made plastics softer and now in a study, two separate studies in children, it increased blood pressure association, not causal necessarily, but association. higher efls of these, higher blood pressure and more insulin resistance. the potential is it may be affecting these children. >> we're showing here these are takeout counters that all of us use, any breakfast sandwich is in a container like this takeout. you're saying dimp. >> and didp. >> how did they connect the chemicals with higher blood pressure and insulin resistance? >> they're coating these plastics. what happens is especially when you put it in a microwave, it heats it and goes into some of the food. you eat the food and it goes into your bloodstream. in this study they looked at the urine in kids and found the levels elevated. the higher it was, the higher the blood pressure and the more insulin resistance. so the key is, if you get this

in your takeout food take it and put it into a glass container at home. i know it takes an extra 30 seconds. my kids love the frozen macaroni and cheese. they take it and put it into a bowl and not into the container it came with and put it in the microwave. i know you can't see it on camera there's a triangle there. inside is the number. those numbers correlate to what chemicals that are in it. you want to avoid the ones that have three, six and seven. >> that has the number six. >> there you go. >> the industry basically says these chemicals have been studied, don't migrate out of products. what all should we be avoiding? i went through this purge about six months ago. i don't put it in the dishwasher if it's plastic. what are the takeaway messages. >> three different agencies regulate this, cpsc fda and

epa. there's this notion that they only react when there's a problem. so it's kind of innocent until proven guilty. so that's an issue there. there's not a lot of study before they go into these containers that can affect all of us. we need to be aware of what we put the food inasmuch as possible. don't put in the microwave or into the dishwasher which can make these chemicals leach out. >> good information. dr. david agus, thank you very much. >> thank you guys. america's aging infrastructure becomes a source of inspiration. >> finding new life for transportation's past. coming up on "cbs this morning," i'm chris van cleave we'll take you inside a long abandoned trolley station in washington, d.c. that's about to get a whole new use. >> announcer: cbs "morning rounds" sponsored by purina, your pet, our passion.

large groups for temporary amount of time and given the raw concrete and aspect of it, we think it's a much better place to observe it. >> a spot where people once waited, it could become an art space. new york city's high lines turned an abandoned elevator to the heart of manhattan that's attracting millions of people becoming a model firefighter millions across the country. last month the first phase of chicago's 606 trail opened a park built upon the derelict elevated train line. when completed it will run three miles connecting a network of neighborhoods and parks. in philly there's a space stretching through the city.

sing 12 songs? >> with a scottish accent. >> yeah. i've done a lot of great roles on broadway but being the leader of the show is so different. i often call my friend melissa white house the lead in "hairspray." it's tough. you're carrying a $50 million show on your shoulder. >> you say your body feels kind of beat up at the moment. >> yeah. i wanted to do everything i could. i started my career as kind of a dancer and stuff and i told the choreographer, let me do anything. but that was my 26-year-old self talking. and i'm 36 now. so it's a little harder. i'm taking ice baths after the show. it's an intense show but i wouldn't change anything. >> when you look at your own career, "glee" was doing so well, even in season six. do you look back and they, maybe

i could have done another season there, or are you happy with the transition? >> i'm happy with the transition. i think the show did everything it could do. it's so great to look back on the show and see the change that it made in this world, especially with what just happened with gay marriage and the supreme court. i feel like "glee" had a big voice of bringing those issues into people's living rooms so they could have a open conversation about it with their family. >> let me ask you. one of your first appearances on tv was with david lit let letterman. can you explain what fresh step is, and it's not kitty litter. >> it's not kitty litter. it was a boy's band. wow, that takes me back. yeah. i was 19 years old. it was a bunch of broadway people. i wasn't on broadway yet.
