welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with new fears of a global pandemic as the ebola continues to spread. they're de-claring public health emergencies. they're pleading for help in getting virus under control. so far as many as 729 people are believed dead including one american. >> it is the largest ebola outbreak ever, spreading across four countries. eight organizations are telling their workers to leave the region. debora patta is in johannesburg with a growing concern of the virus with no cure. debora, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the president of liberia with over 320 known ebola cases there has issued emergency procedures, putting the country in virtual lockdown and a top official issued a warning telling "cbs this morning" that controlling the epidemic is beyond his country's capabilities.

they've been overrun by the sick and the dying. in a desperate effort to contain the virus the government has shut down schools and closed many borders. the assistant minister of health. >> our government has declared it as a humanitarian crisis that is above the control of the government. >> reporter: they've appealed for more international aid. experienced medical staff in treating ebola. the disease is often fatal with some people not showing symptoms for up to three weeks after an infection. one victim was patrick sawyer who was working in nigeria and became violently ill. his wife said he was planning on returning to minnesota in august. >> he got it from his sister who also died from ebola weeks earlier without them knowing that she had ebola. >> two americans aids workers

who were infected showed slight improvement. their charity, samaritans purse, is now evac yagting all nonessential personnel. the peace corps is pulling out 40 of them in the region. the crisis is far from under control. now, this is not just a liberian problem. the disease is spreading in new guinea and sierra leone and public health officials and border officials are on high alert across this continent bracing themselves for the arrival of others from other african states who may be carrying the deadly ebola. charlie. >> thanks. dr. jon lapook is with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning. >> we want you to tell us more about this but how concerning is it that it could spread to the

united states? >> i spoke with doctor monroe who knows a lot about ebola and other diseases. he said, look, theoretically people come could over here and it could be the united states. however, this is not africa. we have very sophisticated infeki infectious disease controls. hopefully it's easterrlyearly, identified, and they can track down the contacts and it's much less of danger here than it is in africa. there it's a quite different swachlgts i'm concerned we're starting to reach the tipping point in africa where it tees going to be harder and harder to get it under control. >> and you spoke about the incubation period where people could be on planes headed to the united states and have it and not even know about it. isn't it true it's not like the flu, it's spled through bodily

fluids. >> i'm glad you bring it up. this is not spread through the air. it is spread through direct contact with body fluids. it's hard to get it from person to person. >> so you're not going to get it sittinging next to someone on a plane. >> in africa, they don't trust the doctors, they're running away from the doctors and the health clinics and they don't have the same kind of infectious control procedures that we have here. >> dr. lapook. thank you so much. israel's government promises no immediate end. he said israel's army will shut down every hamas tunnel to the border even if there is a truce. >> he called up 16,000 additional reservist groups. barry petersen is in gaza city where the death toll is rising again. barry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. in quiet areas around here, that's a relative term, we're

seeing people out and about. it may not seem the wisest thing but people are desperately trying to get supplies. israel definitely has the military high ground but there was condemnation on yesterday's predawn attack on this school. they slammed into the facility crowded with more than 3,000 refugees. the israelis say they're still investigating. israel said it was taking fire from near the school. the u.n.'s secretary called the attack outrageous. the obama administration said it was, quote, extremely concerned. hamas called it simply a massacre. >> the rights of palestinians -- >> chris gunnis has seen a lot of the war but the school attack was too much as he spoke with al jazeera. >> this was another killing

field, a market where people flocked thinking they were safe during a four-hour cease-fire. they were wrong and many paid with their lives after multiple hits. now an update we wish we did not have to report on a baby born by caesarean on monday after her mother was killed. quite simply, she didn't survive. >> i hoped she would live, said her grandmother. she was my connection to my daughter. today baby shanna is now just another addition to the fresh graves of gaza. >> there will be more fresh graves today. we're seeing a lot of activity. really all of gaza is just echoing with the russell of missile and artillery hits. >> barry, thank you. disturbing new details about an american who became a suicide

bomber. he reportedly returned to the u.s. after his training but before he cared out the attack. babar's in washington where terror officials are trying to make sure others don't slip through the cracks. good morning. >> good morning. he had traveled to syria and then had returned to his florida home for a few months but what officials apparently did not know at the time is that the 22-year-old from ft. pierce, florida, had linked up with someone in al qaeda. suddenly in may shows a propaganda tape. it shows him carrying out a suicide bombing mission there. at the time we knew he was an american. we did not know his real name. then u -- a few days ago, there was this tape. he's show biting, destroying and burning his u.s. passport

essentially declaring war on america. while he carried out his attack overseas they say his kind of threat is their very top worry. many of them have linked up with terror groups. now the fbi is trying to make sure none comes home to carry out an attack here. charlie? >> thank you, bob. this morning the parliament agreed to lay down arms to protect investigators at the malaysia airline disaster site. the plane was shot down two weeks ago. ukrainian government also says it's called off military operations in the area as sa officers make their way in. the republicans accuse president obama of changing his health care law without asking congress. nancy cordes is on capitol hill

where the house passed the bill. good morning. >> the next step for republicans now, trying to figure out who their legal councsel will be an where they might file the suit. >> those whin favor say aye. >> they hit back saying this lawsuit will waste time. they argue it's worth it because the president, they say, overstepped his bounds. some accused him of acting like a king. >> our forefathers paid dearly for that freedom. our freedom is in peril, my friends. we cannot stand by and watch the president shred our constitution. >> reporter: republicans say only congress has the authority to change the health care law to postpone the employer mandate for one year. >> if we don't take action now, what stops future presidents,

republican or democrat from eroding our powers further. >> democrats say president obama was right to tweak a res regulatiregula regulation that wasn't ready. they point to 2006 when president bush waived penalties for seniors who signed up late it's unconscionable that when this do-nothing congress decided to do something, they're sueing the president for not doing his. >> we can do much better. >> the president had this to say to republicans. >> stop being mad all the time. stop this hating all the time. come on. let's get some work done together. >> this lawsuit is truly unprecedented. individual members of congress have sued a president before but never a full body of congress. and democrats are already

sending out fund-raising e-mails asking supporters for help to, quiet, send the shutdown group packing. the agency left top officials in the dark about extreme interrogation methods. margaret brennan is at the state department to show us why the obama administration is already concerned about the study. margaret, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. well, this potentially damaging senate report is expected this week and it may reveal that the cia did not initially inform then secretary of state coal lynn powell and someup ambassadors about harsh techniques. this contradicts earlier reporting that powell was briefed and participated in meetings during which the bush administration authorized these actions. this came to light yesterday after the "associated press" was

accidentally e-mailed a copy of white house talking points. the administration is prepping because they anticipate tough questions even though president obama has labeled these practices torture and ordered them stopped. now, cbs has not seen this memo. the cia and powell did not respond when cbs contacted yesterday for comment, but what is clear is that some of these revel lagss could be damaging to the perception of the u.s. norah? >> margaret. thank you. and the cia led by brennan is going to bushing back the support. >> minimize the fallout. >> indeed. it's what some republicans are calling the smoke gun. lois lerner is the former irs official at the center of the investigation. she received an e-mail from a friend who called it the wacko

gop. she said, quote, so we don't need to worry about alien terrorists. it's our own crazies that will take us down. >> i think these e-mails show clearly a political bias political bias to do rights and equal protection. >> congress and the justice department are investigating the action. the democrats say there's still no evidence the tax agency singled out conservative groups. cuomo is running for re-election. the norm times reports that manhattan u.s. attorney warn the governor and his staff not to interview with the state commission. he set out last year to rule it.

a report shows he repeatedly blocked investigators. o cf1 o six emergency workers are recovering from carbon monoxide poisoning. it's nearly 1,000 glons of water a minute spewing and all 21 million were lost. public works crews say it could be metal fatigue. >> it could be a factor of corrosion, the age of the pipe. it could be a number of things. >> the pipe that ruptured was 93 years old and the repairs won't be complete until 9:30 at the earliest. >> areas of texas a very on a flash way. meteorologist megan glaros of cbs station w be bb

wbbm is tracking the system. >> heavy rain across oklahoma, louisiana, and arkansas today. we're expecting heavy rain there. flooding be a falk tore for them. if rain continues in ym they'll tie the record. we erie also likely to see some severe weather across portions of nengds today. damaging winds and large hail will be a threat. forecast high, 80s while rest of the rockies the heat continues to build. >> thank you. there's video of a small plane that crashed in a busy parking lot. >> oh, my god.

psychologically. >> the exciting thing is we've been able to show meditation turns genes on and off. tie gee can turn things on and on. if you have cardiovascular disease, we can make changes in increasing your long-term health. >> russell, when i told people you're coming on, they said, is he coming on to talk about music? i said, no, about meditation. they said, russell simmons meditates? i think it's great. you said back in the day success was a lot of drugs, parties, sleeping with a lot of women. how do you go from that to medication is stillness. >> all of us want to be still and see miracles. the whole world is so full of

beautiful miracles and only presence provides that gateway. we meditate so we can stop the fluctuation of the mind when the mind is still -- we get to see all the beauty. we get sickness and sadness. >> what does it do for you? >> for me specifically it turns the noise down. you know, we have hundreds of thoughts running through our mind. as we lessen the number of thoughts, the mindsetles, we become happier people. there is no happenness in the future or the past. there is no creativity. only in the presence. and meditation is the greatest tool to promote presence. >> there's creativity in the stillness. what's happening again, to norah's question, what's happening to our brain and mind as we meditate? >> as we meditate it does create the relaxation response. it's the response opposite to the stress response, you know, the flight or fight response

where you get all revved up. >> this is the contra to that. >> the solution to that in many ways. you use lots of different techniques and that in the long term yields physiological bern fits. >> russell, what's fascinating to me and why we should do on the show about this is the number of successful people who meditation whether it's oprah, jerry seinfeld, george lucas, russell simmons. so many people have tried it. why do you think that is? >> again, when you operate from a calm space, you're able to make good decisions. the nervous system is always -- always affected by your thought process. when the nervous system is calm, you have a greater brain functionality. >> don't you think every creative thought is when you meditate? >> you meditate in all forms. all forms of meditation. but the seconds of stillness,'ve

if you listen to music, you can get into musical. i had the experience of a car accident. the world is moving at that speed, slow motion, is the way the world moved. but with the fluctuation of the mind, you miss all that. >> would jts you say though -- go ahead, charlie. >> what's trance dental meditation? >> that's abroad. we use it with kids. you use a mantra. you repeat the mantra to yourself. if you repeat that mantra, maybe the mind is drawn to the mantra and the noise settles. the nervous system always calms when you sit. and when you sit if you're patient and you repeat a mantra, you will slip into a meditative state. there's no choice, everyone can.

>> it still scares a lot of people. what do you say to show them this is very important? >> you know, i'm a doctor so i often tell people -- give recommendations like you should diet, be on a better diet, exercise. it's the same thing ever we have science that shows it's beneficial to people. it's a prescription like any other. we also like to say it doesn't matter what kind of meditation you can use. what's important is that you guess the kind of practice that fits for you add a person. >> i want to learn how do it. thank you dr. john denninger and russell simmons. thousands of people captured life in bold new was. look at these pivots. first on "cbs this morning," we're going to reveal it
