war, some within the obama administration have had enough and are calling for action. with an estimated 500,000 people dead in syria and thousands of refugees fleeing for their lives, dozens of american diplomats called for a radical change. the 51 state department officials who signed the classified internal memo argued that the u.s. should destroy syrian dictator bashar al assad's military might. assad has faced no consequence for his brutality, continuing to ignore assad while fighting isis is dragging out the five-year war. and they believe it is creating new extremists. but president obama has long been hesitant to intervene in another middle east war. in 2012 he threatened military action if assad used chemical weapons. >> we have communicated in no

uncertain terms to every player in the region that's a red line for us. >> but backed off when he kald 1,000 people in a sarin gas attack a year later. isis has thrived inside the war zone. while mr. obama has committed teams of special operators to target isis leaders, he told charlie rose u.s. military involvement would be sharply limited. >> that does not mean that we should be deploying troops everywhere where a crisis is taking place. we have to be judicious about how we use military power. >> reporter: on thursday senator john mccain blamed president obama's policies in iraq and syria for the isis inspired attack in orlando. >> he pulled everybody out of iraq, and i predicted at the time that isis would go unchecked and there would be attacks on the united states of america. so he is directly responsible. >> reporter: mccain later said in a statement he doesn't hold president obama personally responsible for orlando. but gayle, what is really a

remarkable about this state department memo is that it was written by politically neutral diplomats, and they really hope that the white house doesn't dismiss this in the midst of a political campaign. the state department has to respond in writing within 30 to 60 days. >> margaret, thank you very much. pentagon confirms series of airstrikes targeted rebels inside syria attacks in the southern part of the country hit forces who have received u.s. military support. they were equipped to fight isis. russia's military has been backing the assad regime. a senior u.s. defense official said the strikes raised serious concerns about russia's intentions in syria. >> cia director offering new take on strength of isis that appears to contradict the president. beting itsold n two ars.at tori.

took of one of the gators. >> and the response, i just couldn't believe it. it was, those are resident pets. we've known about them for years. >> reporter: there are no signs warning about alligators in the spot where lane graves died tuesday night. in fact, a massachusetts mom posted these photos of her own son, which she claims were in the same area less than an hour earlier. thursday disney said it was conducting a swift and thorough review of its procedures including the number, placement and wording of our signage and warnings. but critics wonder why the company's review took so long. >> there was an alligator submerged under the water. >> paul santamaria attacked by an alligator in 1986 when he was just 8 years old. >> it came up out of the water and hit me and knocked me to the ground. it started throwing me around trying to pull me into the water. >> reporter: in a staple, the parents of lane graves said,

words cannot describe the shock and grief our family is experiencing over the loss of our son. norah, any parent could relate. >> that's absolutely right. >> anybody with a beating heart can relate. it's still so hard to think what that family is going through, both parents there and there was knowing they could do. now you know this could happen. have you to be very, very careful. >> make some changes practically there will ab vote to determine if russian athletes will be allowed to compete in the rio olympics. an international group is considering whether to keep a provisional ban on russia's track and field team. in november they were suspended from competition over allegations of widespread doping that involved coaches and officials. hollie williams in vienna where the vote will take place. >> reporter: russia's desire to win at all costs led to a

culture of cheating. a new report this week found evidence that the country has not changed its ways. in london, olympic games sabotaged by russian athletes who shouldn't have been competing. according to the world anti-doping agency. but it took years of mounting evidence before the agency finally acted. helmut, general secretary of the administration. >> is this incredible it was allowed to go on so long and nobody did anything about it, nobody investigated it? >> yeah, incredible. the good thing is this now things are changing. we hope that we can start a new era of fair play and anti-doping. >> reporter: that may be an overstatement because russia seems to be up to its old tricks. this week's report finds if the ban was imposed, russian

athletes appear to be dodging drug tests canceling or declining tests. russian state security officers intimidating testers panned 52 russian athletes turning up a banned substance. russia claims it's been victimized and is campaigning for its athletes to be allowed to compete at the rio olympics. but the former head of russia's anti-doping lab has now apparently come clean saying russian officials switched up to 100 tainted urine samples with clean ones at the soichi olympics where russia topped the medal tally. the november report also a little corruption within the international association of athletic federation itself. prosecutors say it's former head accepted more than a million dollars in bribes to cover up russian doping. the problem, according to one point of view, is that some

world sporting bodies have no interest in properly investigating doping allegations cause it damages the business of sport. that's why russia was able to get away with it for so long. gayle. >> thank you very much holly women's in vienna. how the waze act keeps drivers away from riskier traffic. that's coming up next. if you're heading out the door you don't have to leave us behind, watch us on cbs app on digital device because we know you don't want to miss tony hale. he just arrived in the greenroom. hello, tony hale. we'll be right back.

now a story you're seeing only on "cbs this morning." now a story you're seeing only on "cbs this morning." i always love when we can say that. waze is a smartphone app used by 50 million drivers may make the drive a little longer all in the name of safety. waze may introduce a feature to

warn drivers about routes through high-crime neighborhoods. before that, new orleans will be one of the first cities where users could see a longer commute. kris van cleave is there and joins us this morning. hello to you, kris van cleave. >> reporter: good morning. now, the appmakers say this is all about safety. but starting today millions of drivers are going to see their waze to work different. it will happen first in los angeles and then soon here in new orleans. that's because the appmaker is going to minimize intersections like the one we're coming up. there's no stop and then asked to cross six lanes. this is what some call suicide straight. directs drivers across multiple lanes of heavy traffic. another concern for some when it suggests a left turn through that same multi-lane traffic without a light. not anymore. starting first in los angeles, the app may sacrifice a little time for safety. when we drove with the new

feature, it had us turn left on a lightly traffic side street instead of across the much busier lincoln boulevard in santa monica sending us to a stop sign and less stressful turn. >> do you have any sense of how much longer it will make my drive to work. >> if you are commuting 40 minutes to an hour, maybe it adds a couplements here and there. >> do you worrisome people are going to say, you're supposed to save me time and now you're costing me two minutes. >> they can opt to turn it off. >> make the turn anyway. >> make the turn anyway. waze will reroute you. >> that's one of the several changes they are considering. in brazil an elderly woman murdered after she went to an address in an area known for gang violence. the company working on what could be a controversial next step, a new feature in that country to alert drivers about routes through high-crime areas. >> we're working with the government. we're working with local community groups who are able to

identify which neighborhoods have safety issues. >> julie is head of the brand for waze. >> how do you do that without labeling a community a bad neighborhood. >> sometimes it's a choice of words. so dangerous is sort of a judgment whereas high-crime is fact ral. >> reporter: she said it would use data verified by a third party and also supported by data the app gathers from users including reports of accidents, incidents in police presence. >> crime data is notoriously unreliable. >> ezekiel edwards from american civil liberties union. >> people would be relying on flawed data where to drive, not to drive, who to engage and not to engage, perhaps where to spend money and not to spend money and further potential inequalities among neighborhoods as a result. >> do you think that's a risky move. >> there's a risk in not doing anything, so we don't really have a choice. of course there's a risk if you don't handle it correctly.

that's why it's got to be done with deep sensitivity. i think we've done that so far. >> the crime filter could be ready by the brazil olympics but there's no time line when it will be rolled out in brazil or any plans when it could come to the u.s. as for the difficult intersection, live in los angeles this morning, soon new orleans, and possibly by the end of the year d.c. and boston. >> all right, kris. good to know. really important information. all right. a stranger's split second decision to get involved pu,,

good morning to our viewers in the west. there is more real news ahead including president obama facing foreign policy push back from inside his administration. we'll ask margaret brennan. >> it is rare to see dozens of american diplomats object to u.s. policy. >> it is certainly a symbolic victory for the army. >> investigators continue to examine physical evidence and the digital trail of the killer and his wife.

>> the 49 people who were killed and many were hiding in the bathroom. >> they still don't know if they have caught the alligator responsible. >> it was the finding of an independent investigation. >> millions of drivers are going to find their ways to work. >> it is being reported that they want to raise the height of the white house fence, when asked how high, hillary said i don't know, 5'8" or 5'9". >> more funerals in orlando today and over the weekend. sources say the gunman searched

facebook for pulse orlando and shooting during his attack. >> a gun store owner says mateen came in weeks ago to buy body armor and a.mmunition. the video of the incident was not stored. 51 diplomats have signed a letter that is critical of the u.s. policy on syria. they say syrian president bashir al-assad has faced to consequences for his actions in syria. in april, charlie spoke to the president about the crisis. >> what circumstances would compel you in a sense to say

that history will judge very harshly if we don't because of who we are to do something about a situation that is destroying a range of problems. men and women and children being kills in a devastating way, all of that. what is the test for you when you want to use american force. >> i don't think -- those are two separate questions. we're always willing to use force to protect the american people. you're asking a narrow question which is where should we be willing to intervene militarily because we have a duty to protect other people. and we need to impose order and so forth. my approach is not to say that

we have a perfect test to apply. each situation is different. the costs and intervention will be different every time. but we can say that where ever possible, we should get other countries to work with us to see where we can solve the problem. where the costs of our military intervention are manageable and the benefits are potentially high. then i think it makes sense. >> margaret brennan is in the white, is there any specific policy recommendations they are making? >> really this is an afeel for a policy review. what the argument is that the u.s. has very little leverage to broker a peaceful end to the

civilian war. so without stopping that, there is no way to get to the negotiating table into this is an unpress tented high number of diplomats heading this. >> after his long interviews with president obama, secretary kerry always pushed for more than the president was willing to under take. where is john kerry? >> secretary kerry privately in his recommendations to the president has been pro a more aggressive approach in syria, but the president is clear that is not something he will consider here. he supports the administration's point of view and says this letter of decent is something that is important particularly given the high number and with

seven months left in office, it's not clear this will make a difference. they are hoping that what they are saying and hearing hear will not be lost in a political campaign. >> it is an interesting question. you get a lot of debate there as well. it would make a difference, and you certainly do not have anyone putting force a proposal for an invasion in syria. there are mixed opinions even in the pent gone, but there is a view that they are more than capable of taking out the threat from assad. you also have russia backing up syria. >> great reporting, margaret, thank you so much. >> he helped create siri. he wants to take artificial
