7:00 am
good morning. it is friday, june 13th, 2014. welcome to "cbs this morning." extremists close in on baghdad. hundreds of thousands are on the run. washington debates how to respond. sergeant bowe bergdahl arrives back in america overnight. the next step for the p.o.w. world cup chaos. elaine kquijano is in the strees of sal paolo. but we begin this morning with today eye opener. >> military promotions and back
7:01 am
pay are on hold until the army determines why and how he was captured. >> iraq's going to need more help. >> they have captured two key cities and are vowing to take their battle to baghdad. >> it's not like we haven't seen this problem coming for over a year. what's the president doing? taking a nap. >> at least one tornado overnight in texas. the same system produced large hail shattering car windows. >> they were met with tear gas and rubber bullets. >> the games got under way with controversy. a penalty shot awarded to brazil that led the a win. >> you are playing with my words. >> hillary clinton and npr got into it over same-sex marriage. >> hypothetically if you ran for president against hillary clinton, do you think you could beat her? >> hypothetically, you bet. >> he was rescue after being stuck in a trench for about
7:02 am
eight hours. >> donald sterling has reportedly hired four p.i.s to dig up dirt own other owners. >> he thought he was going to get a picture of an elephant, but things didn't go exactly as planned. >> -- and all that matters -- >> what a way to turn 90. president george h.w. bush, marking his birthday with a tandem jump out of a helicopter. >> if you include obama, there were two presidents in free fall today. >> -- on "cbs this morning." >> the u.s. is scheduled to play germany. president obama and german chancellor angela merkel have got a bet going. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" presented by toyota. let's go places. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> hey, good morning, charlie. >> on a day with lots of news
7:03 am
about iraq, to see former president bush doing that on his 91st birthday is something else. >> happy birthday to him. we've got breaking news. >> the united states is debating how to respond to the civil war in iraq. the white house says president obama is considering every option except american ground troops. hundreds of americans are being evacuated from an iraqi air base as the militants get closer. >> and they're already holding the major cities of mosul and tikrit. holly williams is in the city of erbil. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. they've overrun two cities with virtually no resistance from iraq's security forces. this cell phone video shows the islamic militants putting on a show of force in mosul, parading vehicles captured from iraq's
7:04 am
military through the country's second biggest city. as the militants sweep through northern iraq, many government soldiers have dropped their weapons and run, despite billions of dollars in american military aid. in the city of tikrit, this iraqi army post now stands abandoned and amateur video shows militants marching hundreds of captured soldiers through the streets. just 80 miles from tikrit is iraqi kurdistan, an autonomous region that's been relatively peaceful since the u.s. invasion in 2003. so far its well disciplined fighters have not gotten involved directly, but they have taken over positions abandoned by the iraqi military. he is a kurdish leader who told us the iraqi soldiers simply melted away. and what do you think about that? the iraqi army is useless, he told us.
7:05 am
they don't fight for any principles. hundreds of thousands of refugees have fled the violence, but very few of them blame the militants. like the armed extremists they're sunni muslims and reject the government in baghdad but as the militants reach further south, they'll reach areas with mainly shia populations and shiites loyal to iraq's government. in an internet post today the militants threatened to destroy shrines considered holy by shia muslims. that would almost certainly set off more deadly violence but on a much larger scale. >> holly, thank you. as president obama and his team weigh they're options in iraq, nancy cordes says they're divided on their next move. good morning. >> good morning, norah. some lawmakers believe the u.s. invasion over ten years ago created the conditions that allowed this to happen while others who voted for the war in
7:06 am
iraq came to regret it and are reluctant to go back in. >> the situation in iraq is dire. >> reporter: senate republican lindsey graham was one of the first law fimakers to call for . air strikes. >> i think it's the only way to change the equation in iraq. >> reporter: but many question whether any military aid would make a difference when iraqi troops on the ground refuse to fight. >> i don't think there's any appetite in our country for us to become engaged in any more military activity in iraq. >> reporter: at a meeting with the australian prime minister, president obama said his national security team is looking at all military options. >> i don't rule out anything because we do have a stake in making sure that these jihadists are not getting a permanent foothold in either iraq or syria for that matter. >> reporter: republicans argued
7:07 am
this terrorist invasion might not have happened if the administration hadn't failed to cut a deal with the iraqi government to leave some u.s. forces in the country. house speaker john boehner. >> it's not like we haven't seen this problem coming for over a year. now what's the president doing? taking a nap. >> reporter: do you think the u.s. should be launching air strikes and if not, what should we do? >> i think what we should do is provide the equipment and technical assistance that the iraqis have been asking for. >> reporter: boehner says he does not have enough information one way or the other to know whether we should launch air strikes yet, but he and other lawmakers fear if the u.s. does nothing, the violence could spread to other countries. as one lawmaker put it to me, charlie t charlie, the entire region could go up in flames. army sergeant bowe bergdahl is back in the u.s. this morn g morning. he was returned after being held for five years in afghanistan.
7:08 am
manuel bojorquez is outside brooke army medical center. that's where the ex-hostage will continue his recovery. manuel, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the priority during these first few hours will be to continue sergeant bergdahl's medical and psychological treatment. eventually he'll be reunited with his family here but only when his doctors believe he is ready. a military transport brought sergeant bowe bergdahl to lackland air force base early this morning. he was then transferred to brooke army medical center, a homecoming of sorts, two weeks after the taliban freed him and five years after he walked off his base in afghanistan. letters to his parents were obtained by "the daily beast" and explained why he may have left the unit. leadership was lacking if not missing. tell those involved in the
7:09 am
investigation there are more sides to the situation. bergdahl may have to explain those statements in the coming weeks and will likely face questions about his captors. >> part of the reintegration program is the desire to gather from the former prisoner all the information we can about the enemy. what complicates this somewhat is that it's fairly clear that he is suspected of committing some violation of the uniform code of military justice. >> reporter: jeffrey corn is a former army lawyer. he said bergdahl will have access to a lawyer while the army investigates allegations he deserted and determines whether he will face prosecution. the options range from the ha h harshest, court-martial to the more lenient, retirement. >> i think the requestion is going to be has he suffered enough and should we let him move along? medical retirement would be the logical course of action there. >> what kind of message does that send to the troops or to anybody who thinks he's getting
7:10 am
away with something here? >> well, i think that's the real difficult equation this commander is going to have to weigh. >> reporter: because former captives are initially shield ld from media reports, it's unclear whether sergeant bergdahl has any idea of the controversial prisoner swap that led to his release. five senior taliban officers for his freedom. there is no timeline on his recovery here. it could take days or months. norah? >> all right, manuel, thank you. and brazil is watching four more protests today at the world cup. demonstrators came out in several cities thursday as the tournament began. they're challenging brazil's government for spending billions of stadiums instead of programs. elaine quijano is there. >> reporter: good morning. it started with a big win for the brazilian team but the mood wasn't only celebratory. there were all clear signs of
7:11 am
frustration. it was a tense game, but a final goal from one of brazil's star players sealed the win for the team. with fans celebrating from the beach to the streets. but earlier in the day brazilian streets were seen with protests just a few miles from the city's main stadium. frustrations over the government's decision to spend $11 billion to host the cup, the most expensive in history. demonstrations escalated quickly. this is a neighborhood where protesters advertised on facebook that they wanted to be together. you see the presence of police. some brazilians says the cup favors companies over people of brazil. police said employment, inflation, education, health are all garbage, but in this poor neighborhood across from the streets of the world cup
7:12 am
stadium, no signs of activity. they watched the $400 million arena come to life. he said new developments like a train station and shopping center have improved life. the government is going to spend money one way or the other, he said. at least here i can see the results. inside the stadium more than 62,000 people watched an opening show that ushered in the start of brazil's world cup. but for residents here, it was all about the main event. the brazilian team's first victory. as for protests, another one is scheduled to take place june 20th in rio de janeiro. nationwide the brazilian government has put more than 150,000 security forces in place for the world cup. charlie? >> elaine, thanks. thousands of children are being held in special american facilities this morning. they entered the united states illegally without a parent, but there are allegations the government is housing them in
7:13 am
poor conditions, and homeland security is now investigating claims the kids were denied food, threatened, and even physically abused by federal officers. vicente arenas went to a naval base to see how authorities are countering the charges. >> reporter: photos released by the government show a bright colorful facility north of los angeles. here 180 boys and girls, some as young as 13, are in the care of the department of health and human services until their parents are found or a sponsor gives them a home. the government also allowed reporters inside for the first time thursday, though we were not allowed to take pictures. what we were shown during the hour-long visit at this naval base were teachers conversing with students. some of those students smile and nodded at reporters and even greeted us in english, however, we were not able to ask them questions or interact with them. in california, as in texas and arizona, the facilities are filled with children who crossed
7:14 am
the border with the help of smugglers, some paid by their parents who reportedly sought a better life for them. >> it is not safe. it is not a desirable situation. and i would encourage no parent to send their child or send for their child through this process. >> reporter: by law, homeland security secretary jay law says they should be protected. a texas congressman released photos in his home state showing crowded conditions. it's a situation which could only get worse. the department of home land security projects by the end of the year, at least 60,000 undocumented children will have come into the facilities, more than twice the number that came in last year. for "cbs this morning," vicente aren arenas. 4,000 pounds of beef are being recalled this morning. the concern, mad cow disease. most of the meat is used for rib
7:15 am
eye roast. the usda says the risk is low. the beef was shipped to kansas city, new york, and connecticut. some car owners are having their suspicions confirmed this morning. their gas mileage isn't as good as it should be. ford is lowering the fuel rate for six vehicles. jeff pegues has more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. next to the price of the car, what kind of fuel economy, how fuel efficient a car is one of the most important things that buyers consider. let's take a look at the cars affected by this mistake and how ford was listing the fuel economy of its cars. 2013 and 2014 hybrid vehicles as well as 2014 fiestas. the mileage will fall between 1 and 5 miles. it's on the top left-hand side of a new car label. obviously the higher the number, the fewer times you head to the
7:16 am
gas station to fill up. and so now with this reported mistake, ford is now compensating or will compensation about 200,000 of their owners paying anywhere between $125,000 a$125 and $1,0. this is a mistake that could cost them $4 million. the company is committed to dealing top fuel economy and accurate information. the company said was an internal audit that actually found this mistake but there have been lawsuits. this isn't the first time the company has had to relabel some of their vehicles. also the environmental protection agency is really getting tough owner this issue. they are testing more as automakers race to produce more fuel-efficient vehicles. norah? >> extraordinary, jeff. thank you. and former president george h.w. bush is firmly on the ground this morning after his high-flying 90th birthday. look at this. the 41st commander in chief
7:17 am
celebrated thursday with a sky dive. he jumped from a helicopter at his home in kennebunkport, maine. it's the fourth time he's celebrated his birthday by skydiving. check out that landing. president obama tweeted hope you enjoy the view, george. wishing you a very happy birthday, 41. how about that, charlie? >> that's a great. you love to see him celebrating his 90th birthday. >> what a great man, still going strong. broadway theaters will dim their lights. rue bede, the actress and activist died at the age of 91. she appeared in more than 50 films. she was nominated for on oscar at 83. she and her husband helped open new doors of opportunity for all. >> reporter: dee's career spanned northeasterly 80 years. her most famous role was playing

7:19 am
been this relationship with aussie. >> reporter: he passed away in 1995 but she continued performing. in 2008 she received an oscar for her featured role in "american gangster." dee's presence on screen was as powerful as off of it and was often regarded as increasing opportunities for african-americans in the acting industry. while many may say acting was her calling. ruby liked to say it was love. >> i've come to the conclusion that maybe that's the reason we're put here on earth in the first place. >> to make love work for individuals, partners, and the lavender community. >> right. it has nothing to do with things, you know. >> great life. it's 7:19. ahead, we're going to look at headlines from around the nation, including the mayor
