this allowed officials to monitor conversations in realtime. >> we were able to actually see photographs of hundreds of tons of cocaine that were concealed in shipments of fruit. >> reporter: the global sting led to the seizure of 600 tons of cocaine. five tons of marijuana. two tons of methamphetamines, and $148 million in currency. the unsealed court document details the enormous scale of the operation. ever and u.s. officials are expected to announce more details today. there's new information on why a string of big-name websites, including cbs news.com, went down overnight.
7:06 am
this is the arbor message you saw on your screen when you tried to connect. the outage began with an error, not a hack, at a cloud service these websites use. cbs news technology reporter dan patrickson is tracking what unfolded. dan, what did happen exactly >> good morning. if you're an early riser like me, you probably start your day by reading the news or scrolling through social media, maybe do a little shopping. you could do none of that this morning because of error 503. forget the tech details, this means a content delivery network called fastly, misconfigured some of their service settings and this caused cascading effects across the internet that took down some very major sites, including like you said, cbs news, "the new york times," even uk government website went down. >> dan, what is the significance of this outage then? >> what this shows, hack or misconfiguration, is just how
7:07 am
depend dependent we are on cloud services. we can all experience outages if that one chokepoint goes down. >> dan patterson, thank you. >> sound like a oops, not uh-oh. pretty big oops. >> yes, someone's in trouble. now to a remarkable next in a cyberattack that led to fuel shortages and panicked buying by drivers. the fbi recovered $2.3 million in ransom pay by the hackers in the form of bitcoin. although the bitcoin value does fluctuate. and jeff pegues is following it for us. jeff, this seems very unusual

7:09 am
>> extortionists will never see this money. >> reporter: around $2 million of the money paid has yet to be recovered. and the bureau is still investigating more than 100 types of ransomware including last week's hack that stalled operations for meat distributor jbs. as president biden's administration looks to how to respond to cybercriminals, energy secretary jennifer granholm said this week on "meet the press." >> you're encouraging the bad actors when that happens. >> reporter: despite this week's success, recovery may not be possible for all paid ransom. >> we cannot guarantee and we may not be able to do this in every instance. >> reporter: today, colonial pipeline's ceo, he's going to be on capitol hill answering stuff questions from law enforcements. in fact, they'll want to know why the company paid the ransom

the gun legally purchased and registered to the male suspect accused of doing the shooting. the suspects allegedly changed their appearance but did not much to go underground. in fact they went to eat sushi sunday. the police watched them, didn't make a move in the restaurant because they didn't want to create a scene so they followed them home. in f then when they parked their vehicle, they moved in. >> it sounded like an accident, and then all of a sudden crazy name describing the moment that she said police moved in and ended the more than two-week manhunt arresting her neighbors marcus eriz and wynne lee. >> we thought was the driver and he sended his arm and fired the gun. >> reporter: we looked on the instagram page, he portrays himself as a gun enthusiast, an

7:16 am
was apprehended. kevin desilva filmed police officers searching the vehicle in the garage of his neighbor who had been on vacation for weeks. property records show that belongs to a relative of marcus eriz. >> i'm guessing he parked the what was the motive? a lane change. prosecutors have not filed murder charges yet and if the evidence leads him there, he will do it. is it murder if the suspect fired into a vehicle not intending to kill someone or knew he would kill someone, might it be murder or something else? suspects will be arraigned later today and we'll find out then what the charges will be. >> all we know is a little boy senselessly lost his life and it makes no sense. very glad there was an arrest in

that case, david. thank you very much. in colorado they're assessing the damage from a large tornado that tore through homes north of denver. it touched down in an area that had seen more tornadoes than any other u.s. county. it lasts 45 minutes, a long time, as the storm carved its way through mostly rural communities. the twister killed farm animals but no people reported hurt here. it came within one mile much hitting the local power plant. the cdc says two of the coronavirus vaccines work well even if you only get one dose, according to newly released data. the pfizer and moderna vaccines reduced the risk of covid infection by 91% at least two weeks after their second dose and 81% at least two weeks after the first shot.91% after the se dose and 81% after the first the number of vaccinations nationwide remains less than 1 million per day, down 77% from

7:31 am
kris, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. this is the first big look at what went wrong january 6th. we sat down with roy blount and amy klobuchar. what we found were missed opportunities and recommendations aim to have something like january 6th from ever happening again. what was the most surprising breakdown or failure you that learned about through this investigation? >> the intelligence failure. how long it took the department department to respond. the capitol hill police were not prepared in any sense. >> sadly, it was the front line officers who were left to defend us, to defend our staff and defend democracy. >> reporter: in a rare bipartisan joint interview the democrats and republicans leading a senate investigation sat down for a candid conversation about what went wrong allowing a mob to storm the u.s. capitol on january 6th. their report out this morning found warning signs were missed
7:32 am
by federal law enforcement and capitol police. >> part of the reason it was overlooked is people were just saying this can't happen. these groups of folks, they can't do that. well, now, we know they can. we know what happens on the internet can be translated into physical action on capitol grounds or in towns across this country. we've got to treat domestic terrorism with the seriousness it deserves. >> these police officers were put as i said in an impossible position. they didn't have adequate training. they did have adequate equipment. they didn't have adequate barriers. they didn't have adequate communication. they didn't have the intelligence to know what was come, yet, they valiantly supported the capitol protecting members of congress and protecting democracy. >> reporter: the report says 75% of the capitol police officers working on the 6th did not have protective equipment like helmets and shields. one unit was not able to access their gear because it was locked in a bus. some riot shields had been improperly shored and shattered
7:33 am
when used. >> when the acting chief of staff of the army was asked how come this didn't come together right away, and he said, you know, national guards are incredible. but you just can't pick this moment to have it be like a pickup game that they're all just going to be able to suddenly combine with no contingency in place. he said this was the super bowl of attacks you need a plan in place for this to work. >> i noted that the focus the report was on the response, and not the whys, the things leading up to this attack. but there are a couple of points in there where they reference the crowd that had gathered for president trump's speech, his speech on the mall is given in its entirety as an appendix. >> would the attack on the capitol have happened without that event on the eclipse? >> no, this wouldn't have happened if he hadn't done all of those things. his false claims of this -- of
7:34 am
this election is what led to this insurrection. >> our job was not to go back and talk about what happened in terms of the motivation, it was about, okay, once it happened, you know, what did we do here in the capitol? and how could this have happened? and how can we ensure it never happens again. >> doesn't somebody need to look at the how, not just the why. >> yes. >> but at the same time, you've got the justice department pursuing 450 prosecutions right now. i think you're going to find a lot of information that you can only find in one way. and that's to pursue this through the legal system. and that will lead you in new places if it's necessary go there. >> doesn't that kind of give a pass, though, to the rhetoric and the conspiracy theories being spread even by members of the senate by the election and what happened on january 6th? the justice department is looking purely at, you know, criminal activity on day of
7:35 am
january 6th? >> okay, so, i just want to intercede here. roy and i don't agree on this point. our country needs this 9/11-style commission to get to the bottom of this. while the prosecutions are going on you can be looking at the causes and everything. but our mission right now, was to protect this capitol going forward. >> reporter: the senate rules committee and homeland security and governmental affairs committee jointly made 20 recommendations, including appointing a new capitol police chief. bolstering training enhancing communication between law enforcement agencies, improving coordination across federal, state and local governments and evaluating threats of violence on social media. most of the changes, the senators, believe, can be adopted immediately marking a rare moment of agreement in a very divided moment of congress. >> we believe our duty was not just to say oh what a mess this was and we disagree. >> part of the message here is we can figure this out together. >> senators klobuchar and blunt
7:36 am
plan to pursue legislation that would allow the capitol police chief to directly ask the national guard for an emergency situation like the 6th. that should speed up response. the capitol police tells us in part it welcomes the analysis and agrees improvements are needed specifically to intelligence analysis and dissemination. but insisted, at no point prior to the 6th did it receive actual intelligence about a large-scale attack. just last night, we learned that the number 22 at the department involved in the department and planning on january 6th was forced to resign. tony. >> kris, thank you, very much. >> anytime i see it, it's still so chilling, so disturbing. because i think these are americans going after americans. >> right. >> and the you notice, the new astounding act of violence. it's interesting you see something new every time. i kept hearing about capitol hill police failures in that report, it's failures of leadership, not the front line officers. >> exactly.
7:37 am
>> what's clear, the report shows how vulnerable the cal to police, a., they didn't have the training and equipment, but also, they didn't have the intelligence. they were not warned properly. >> no, they weren't. but the officers on the front line had the heart to put up the fight. >> yes, they did. bravo to them. one lawmaker described it it's like looking at tourists who had come to see the capitol that day. so upsetting. >> thank you. ahead, the latest from israel where a top u.s. ally could soon be pushed from power. in fact, less than a week. you're watching "cbs this morning." we don't follow the herd. never have. never will. becacause those e who build e fufuture aren'n't found inin a. they forgege the way f forwardn a pathth of their r own. and,d, just whenen you think the dudust has setettled, we're herere...to kickck it rt back u up again.

8:03 am
countries. they say it was the largest most sophisticated law enforcement efforts ever. it was huge. >> the fda has approved the first new alzheimer's drug in nearly 20 years, that's despite an independent advisory board voting overwhelmingly against it over concerns about a lack of evidence supporting its effectiveness. aduhelm was tested in people with mild alzheimer's and administered intravenously over power we four weeks. it is not a cure. they called it a, quote, victory for people living with alzheimer's and their families. cbs news medical correspondent dr. tara narula joins us. tara, good morning. this is a controversial drug, how effective is it, do we know,
8:04 am
based on these trials? >> well, anthony, that's really the million dollar question. you know, this drug is very different from the drugs that currently exist. this drug goes after the fundamental underlying disease process. it's a monoclonal antibody given as you mentioned, as an infusion, that really targets those hallmark amna lloyd plaques in the brains of those with alzheimer's disease with the hopes of clearing or removing those plaque lesions. now, the big question is does that translate into effectiveness? so that's why there's so much controversy here. you have people on both sides of the equation really looking at the data. and the two trials that were analyzed by the fda, one showed that there was no clinical effectiveness with this drug. the other one showed a minimal improvement. so you have supporters really saying even a minimal improvement is valuable for this very debilitating and devastating disease. and critics really saying the effectiveness and evidence so
8:05 am
murky anded fda really lowering the bar here. what the fda has done is really interesting they approved it through a different sort of pathway. an accelerated pathway one that we see with cancer drugs. where they said, look, we don't are to prove effectiveness, we just have to show a decrease in the amyloid plaques with reasonable effectiveness down the road. very interesting. >> tara, what exactly does the drug do? when you talk about the reduction in plaque, what could that mean for an alzheimer's patient? >> well, if we surmise that this is effective that this could have an impact for those suffering from the disease. according to advocacy groups like the alzheimer's association the hope is this will buy individuals more time, time for
8:06 am
family, time for quality of life. and that even minimal improvement, days or weeks, where you're slowing that cognitive decline, that's really valuable for these individuals. and so this drug was tested in those with mild to moderate cognitive impairment. not really in those with severe disease. but it's been approved for all of those with alzheimer's disease. and the other hope, anthony it will spur on investment and research for other drugs like this. >> well, it's been reported, tara, though, it's already controversial, what are the side effects? >> well there are there are always side effects. that's why you have to weigh the risks and benefits. there were two main things, hypersensitivity, almost allergic reaction. the other more relevant, a little bit, often seen brain swelling or micro hemmages or bleeds in the brain. many times they were asymptomatic, in some cases they can cause confusion, nausea,
8:07 am
vomiting, dizziness, falls. 40% of individuals on one of the trials in the had high dose had this brain edema or swelling. that is why for the drug it's recommended that serial mris of the brain be performed during the course of treatment, to monitor for these events. >> all right, dr. tara narula, thank you so much for being with us this morning, tara. ahead, our conversation with one of the creators of the hit show "bob hearts abishola."

8:15 am
about climbing mt. everest without talking about my coach dr. john here and the other two guys that guided me there, the sherpas. they're still in nepal, that's where they live. without them, no everest for me. so it was really humbling to be there and just so much work went into it. john trained me for a year and a half after i finished walking across america. we lived through a lot together in that year and a half. we got to the summit, i'd start crying pretty hard. >> john, how did mike do? >> you know, he was pretty awesome most of the time. >> what about the other times? >> it was a phenomenal journey and really a testament to all the hard work he put in. we worked together for about 20
8:16 am
minutes. i kept saying 20 months for 20 minutes on the summit. people don't realize you're lucky to get up there for 20 minutes after climbing over 70 other mountains all over the world. the time and energy put into it, so i understood why we both sort of broke down at the summit with the tears of joy and all those things and the view was incredible right at sunrise. we were very fortunate with how it all played out. >> mike, you were already in good shape. you just walked across america. you said the biggest challenge was mental. how so? >> climbing mt. everest was a lot harder than i thought. it pushed me to all my limits. we were there, as john mentioned, about a few months. just base camp is at 17,500 feet.
8:17 am
there's really no way to explain to somebody who hasn't been there, what that does to your body. you just don't really feel good for those entire two months and the higher you go up to camp two, i don't really sleep up there. just to give you an idea of how exhausted i was, one, when i got down, my body was emitting smells i had never smelled before. [ laughter ] >> two, when we finally got back to kathmandu, i fell asleep, i think, for 36 out of those 48 hours. that's how exhausted i was. mentally, you know, it's really hard. john's really good at that, but you're at the whims of the weather. there were certain days you can climb mt. everest and there's others that it will kill you. so the weather is always
8:18 am
changing. it's imperfect. so it's an emotional roller coaster going from, hey, we're going to climb today to, no, we're not. that's all part of the journey. >> it was challenging. there were two cyclones that came off the bay of bengal. this year we had to wait so it was even more of a test of patience. we drilled with other simulations on mountains all over the world. mike was ready to do it. >> it's great to see the two of you sitting side by side despite the smells coming from mike's body. first, john, how do you know somebody has what it takes to do this? because i looked at some of the video and my jaw fell to the floor when i was watching what you all were doing.
8:19 am
how did you know mike can do it? >> for me it's kind of a long step process. i've worked with some clients i've taken to the summit before. when you work with somebody, sometimes you say i knew right away you could do it. we do all the skill work on oh mountains to prepare you. mike said, i want to make sure that i deserve to be there. i said i can get you there if we work on other things first and you pass everything i have set up for you, we'll go. >> the video was beautiful. mike it's no secret how i feel about you and your music. i'm fascinated by the journeys you're always doing. are you searching for something? why do you do this and continue to do it? >> we'll see what happens next. i was on mt. everest because i
8:20 am
want to be somebody i'm proud of. when i look at myself, i want to go hey, that guy is pretty cool. that was part of my journey when i was there. i want to be somebody i'm proud of. >> are you that person now? are you somebody that you're proud of? >> i think the target moves and evolves as i move and evolve. i'm really proud of it. i can't say i'm really proud of this. i'm really grateful of this because of how many people helped me. without those guys helping me out, i really didn't have a shot to cmbli this mountain. i just feel blessed to have the opportunity. >> i'm glad you're okay. >> mike, are you starting training tomorrow to swim across the english channel? what's next for you? >> it's really interesting.
8:21 am
when i finished my walk, i talked to you guys. i felt like what's next, i want to climb everest. i don't feel like that now. i need a dog and a girlfriend to stay at home for a while. >> a dog and a girlfriend? don't you mean a girlfriend and a dog? [ laughter ] >> whatever comes first, mike, it doesn't matter. >> a little backwards in the mountains. [ laughter ] >> well, take a rest. thank you so much for joining us this morning. congrats. what an achievement. >> sorry. before i go, i climbed to raise money for the detroit justice center that does justice reform work in detroit, my hometown. we could use your help, all your viewers. if you could please donate, whether it's $1, $5. go to mikeposner.com.

right to appeal. he's very upset. probably the lowest place he's been his whole life, listen. >> all of that adversity that i had to overcome, all of the hard work i had to be in to get this opportunity to play in the nfl to have somebody be able to take that dream out of your hand, it's tough. >> very tough. the response from the secretary of navy says exceptions have ben rare, but kinley and his representatives have pointed out that other players have been allowed to forego their commissions. in fact, it's been happening recently. under the trump administration, these four guys were able to go on and play pro football careers. however, the larger point from the navy is correct. lots of really great athletes have had say delay. roger staubach by five years, david robinson, number one pick for basketball on a subway before he could play. and in baseball, he was in

[ laughter ] >> reporter: that's the cbs company "bob hearts abishola." >> these are my rules. i want it to be authentic. i want it to be real. i want as many nigerian actors. i want nigerians to watch it and feel proud. >> reporter: he's not only a co-creator and producer but a co-star. >> you need a reception, flowers, food, and a deejay who understands he's not the star of the show. i am. >> reporter: it's a role that makes her feel that maybe she finally fits that being black and british, that being gay, that being of nigerian decent, it's all exactly what will she is supposed to be. and something that has made her toughest critic proud. does your mom mind that oftentimes she is the center attraction of some of your comedy routines? >> oh, she doesn't mind at all.
