i grew up in northeast nebraska. it wasn't a wish but it was something i got to see. >> reporter: a 5-year-old is dead and more than a dozen seriously injured. tara reece and her husband took shelter in their basement and braced for the worse. >> it sounded like a train. busted in while we were in the basement. and then walking out and seeing everything demolished. it was completely insane. just a shocker. >> reporter: when people in pilger emerged they found complete destruction. more than half the town is gone. neighbors worked with rescue crews, sifting through the wreckage for signs of people trapped under the debris. >> two or three of our employees were covered up. we got them dug out. i know it's nothing that i've ever want to see again. >> reporter: in nearby stanton, a local rancher said more than 300 of his cows are now dead. >> the machinery, the machine

>> reporter: good morning, the biggest oil reserves have been shut down as long as militants capture new territory. the extremists have posted more videos online showing gruesome acts of violence. internet video that appeared to capture islamic militants carrying out summary executions in areas they now control in iraq. the extremists known as isis asked sunni muslims but these men are shiites. the militants taunt this man at gunpoint. in another video he's shown dead. it's too disturbing for to us broadcast on television. the extremists seized mosul, iraq's second biggest city, last week. and announced they'd impose strict islamic law. hundreds of thousands of people fled, but now many are heading back. like the militants most people in mosul are sunni muslims.

and they told us they believe isis is not targeting civilians. she and her family drove back to mosul yesterday. we had no idea what to expect, she told us, we just need to go home. but militants marched south towards baghdad, they're pushing into areas where most people are shiite muslims. shiite militias are already mobilizing, preparing to fight isis. this man is a shiite tribal leader. there's a pressing need to defeat terrorism, he told cbs news. iraq will not be broken. iraq is strong. the truth is, though, that the islamic militants have shown that iraq is not strong, but weak. and deeply divided by its religious differences that are again turning deadly. charlie. >> holly, thanks. with us from brian, texas, is ryan crocker, he was the american ambassador to george w. bush and president obama.

he's now a professor at texas a&m university. ambassador crocker, good morning. >> good morning. we have worked with the iranians before. and you were part of the conversations then. how can we cooperate now? >> we as worked with the iranians in afghanistan just before and after the fall of the taliban, so, you know, it's something we can do. but both of us need to be careful. this is a sectarian struggle. and if we are seen as cooperating too closely with iran, it is going to further alienate the sunni element of the iraqi population. so it's good we're talking. we just have to be careful. >> what restraints would you like to see what iran does with iraq? >> first, not to exacerbate the situation. in other words, not to support extremist shia militias.

we've already seen some indications of sectarian strife moves into baghdad, with the murder overnight of some sunni young men. what the iranians need to do is use all of their influence and effort to see that the isis effort to exacerbate a sectarian war do not succeed by a shia reaction. >> ambassador, the president notified congress through the war powers resolution that we would be sending 275 troops to iraq. does this mean a deeper involvement of the u.s. military in iraq? >> no, not at all, norah. these small number of marines are going to iraq to support the defense of the embassy. not for any other purpose that i'm aware of. >> and what should secretary

kerry be doing, should he be in the region? >> secretary kerry in my view should be on a plane right now for baghdad. the focus has been on the conflict, that is indeed serious. but, you know, diplomacy is what is crucial right now. we need to work with the iraqis at the highest level. that would be secretary kerry, backed by the president. so that they can demonstrate the national unity, kurdish, sunni and shia, that is going to be essential, if there is going to be any hope of turning back the isis threat. >> ambassador crocker, has the united states and the obama administration failed to pay sufficient attention to iraq since american troops left? >> i would have liked to have seen more sustained high-level diplomatic engagement with the iraqis. this is a very young democracy,

that has a lot of challenges. we are hard-wired into their political system. we helped create it. we can't walk away from it. so i would have preferred, since 2011, to see us more deeply and intensively engaged at the highest levels of government. i don't think it's too late, but we better move now. >> ambassador crocker, thank you. and the u.s. is in great shape at the world cup after last night's thrilling 2-1 victory over ghana. millions of americans are celebrating this morning. that's how many of us felt yesterday. these were fans at a new york city bar. >> in a bar. >> yeah. they erupted when the u.s. scored the winning goal in the final minutes. what a relief. so did nearly 13,000 fans at this outdoor venue in kansas city. my son was going nuts, too.

elaine quijano is in copacabana, rio de janeiro. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, even though the players won't admit, last night's win was about payback that's because it was ghana who knocked america out last two world cups. >> the u.s. is ahead, incredibly within seconds! >> reporter: the americans made their mark on soccer's biggest stage with just 29 seconds in the opening round match with an aggressive strike by captain clint dempsey and it held for some 80 minutes when ghana responded with a nifty goal of their own. >> oh, equalizes, it's a goal to break the americans' hearts. >> reporter: and tied the score with less than two minutes remaining but team usa rallied in a most unexpected fashion. >> it's john brooks of the usa!

have they stolen it? >> reporter: 21-year-old world cup rookie john brooks came off the bench to head this corner taken to the back of the net. it gave the united states a lead they would not relinquish. head coach jurgen klinsmann gave credit to his team's focus and resilience. >> u.s. team always has a great spirit in the last seconds. it was a grind, but it was a wonderful win at the end of the day. >> reporter: the american faithful made their presence felt. an estimated 20,000 fans showed up in support including vice president joe biden who addressed the team in the locker room after their emotional win. >> usa! usa! >> reporter: americans celebrated from the streets of natal from the popular american hangout in rio. >> for the first time in two hours i can relax, and the u.s. doesn't win easy. we always win with a little bit

of complications, and we pulled it out with seven minutes to go. and we're going to advance in the group. >> reporter: after the game, winning goal scorer john brooks said he had a dream a few days ago, about just that kind of moment, scoring that winning goal, rather. he said that was the first dream like that i've had. hopefully, it's not the last. norah. >> we hope, too. thank you. and a wildfire on the new mexico/arizona border is forcing native-americans out of their homes. it's home to 400 people. the fire burned more than 1700 miles since friday. gusty winds and high temperatures are expected through tomorrow. and in california, hundreds are returning home this morning after being forced out by a wildfire but high winds and dry conditions are helping the flames flame spread. the fire is 50% contained. nearly 3.5 million gm cars are being recalled this morning

end of quote. legal analyst jack ford is here. good morning. why is the supreme court getting involved? >> that's a good question. the supreme court rarely gets involved. i'll bet they'll hear 70 or 80 cases so there has to be something here that grabs their attention. clearly what they're saying here, they want to take a look. doesn't mean they'll change anything. but they want to take a look at the boundaries of free speech. especially now where they're talking about social media. because it's so much different, obviously, than when the law was evolving over the last two decades or so. >> does it matter that he says, i never intended to do this. it's just words? >> that's the whole thing. as things evolve, generally, we don't punish thoughts or words. we punish conduct. but there are exceptions. and the laws evolved when at wo is what would a reasonable person feel? the person on the other end.

would a reasonable person under the circumstances generally feel threatened? and if they would, then somebody could be convicted. what attorneys are saying, we need to change that. now, communication used to be person to person, a phone call, e-mail or letter. they're saying now, you hit send on were you of these platforms where people go to rant and rave, and they're saying it's different. so now the argument is, the standard should be what was the intent of the person who said those words? so that would be a big shift if the supreme court decides to follow it. >> generally, free speech is protected by the first amendment but is there anything that the supreme court has done recently that suggests they're willing to face that or jut want to get involved on social media? >> well the standard was always, the supreme court said free speech is expected except when you yell fire. if there's no fire, it's not protected. words can be ranting and raving with no intent.

they can be harmful, they can be difficult, but are they going to be criminal? and that's where they're trying to figure out -- >> the difficulty is with reasonable intent. >> exactly. we look for the reasonable person but does that mean you'd have the same reaction to it that i would have to it? that's why they're trying to argue. i don't know what the court is going to do that nobody knows what the court is going to do until they tell us. but the argument is you should look at the person's intent rather than the recipient of those words. gun control supporter, celebrating a victory this morning. the supreme court upheld a federal ban on straw purchases. that's when a person buys a firearm for someone else who could have bought one for themselves legally. the law came on the same day richard martinez arrived in washington to promote stricter gun laws. his son was killed last month in a shooting rampage. he blames it on inaction of

politicians. >> they're up there behaving like a bunch of 5 year olds in a sand box. and i'm serious. if they can't act in the light of this tragedy how can we expect them to take care of this country? >> martinez is on capitol hill to carry his message that not one more should die that way. major league baseball is remembering tony giny gwynn. the home team wrote his name on the dirt. in 20 seasons he won eight batting titles and played in two world series. he entered the baseball hall of fame in 2007. he died after a four-year battle with cancer which he blamed on chewing tobacco. and we're going to check headlines from around the nation including this, dr. oz goes

>> of course, teaching isn't one size fits all. i think the goal is for every child to be successful but we need to have a high bar. historically, many states dummy down standards. they reduce standards. why? to make politics look good. that's terrible for our children. that's terrible for our country. >> i think everybody agrees raising the sbar a good thing. improving education is a good thing but this was divided even the republican party of jeb bush who supports common core. and then you have governor bobby jindal of louisiana who has detailed a bill that's a pro-common core bill. he compares this to russian-centralized planning. >> governor jindal was a passionate supporter before he was against it. it's about politics, not education. that's the problem. republican, democrat, ideology, we need to put that aside to be

when standards get dummied down. it's not the elite kids who get hit. it's the more disadvantaged kids that get hurt. fighting against that, driving the agenda around equity and excellence we think is critical. >> do have of it have merit? >> raising the bar and higher standards is the right thing. how do implement higher standards, that takes work. helping teachers that. helping principals understand their role. this is going to take time to get to the right spot. the easy thing is to dummy things down. >> where do we stand now with the state of education. gayle and i were talked earlier about the increased rate of graduation? >> we're thrilled high school graduation has reached an all-time time, 80%. almost cut in half for latino students. college rates going way up.
