and welcome to "cbs this morning." charles, gayle, and anthony are off. i'm anthony mason with margaret brennan. hab labor day. >> can you believe it's september already? >> what happened to the summer? it's over. well tens of millions of americans faced severe weather this morning to cap off the long holiday weekend. another bout of severe weather is headed to many parts of the country from the plains to the east coast. many in iowa saw this super stel thunderstorm in the sky last night. they called it the worst storm they've seen in two decades, and this morning confirmation of a tornado last night in worcester, massachusetts. it traveled for nearly two miles knocking down several trees. this is the light show over the hudson river in new york city. three men are recovering after being struck by lightning on a beach in the bronx. rain certainly served up a soaking on the courts and caused some delays at the u.s. open in

flushing meadows, queens, yesterday. meteorologist megan glaros is tracking the latest down force. >> happy labor day. there'll be severe weather anywhere from oklahoma all the way up to illinois and into michigan. we're looking at the potential for severe weather there. the main risk will be for damaging winds and hail. heavy downpours will be a factor. this will affect 40 million people on this labor day. looking at the heavy rain that is anticipated, springfield as well as st. louis to dayton, ohio, will see particularly heavy rainfall over the course of the next few days, but anywhere you encounter a strong thunderstorm theand strong thun. there's a chance of showers and storms. anthony and margaret? >> megan, thanks. this morning several a-list

stars are a target of what appears to be a severe hacking. dozens of nude photos were leaked online. they were released from a cloud-based internet storage system. they say the celebrities were exposed when a hacker broke into their cloud-based storage. more than 100 celebrities are part of the illicit cache and that more photos will be released. oscar winner jennifer lawrence is one of the targets. explicit pictures showed the 24-year-old in various stages of undress. a spokesperson told "cbs this morning" the posts are a flagrant violation of privacy and said the authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posted the stolen photos of jennifer lawrence. actress mary elizabeth winsted was also a target.

she tweeted on sunday and said she took the photos with her husband years ago in the privacy of her home and shamed the hackers saying, hope, you feel great about yourself. >> if a celebrity's phone is vulnerable to a hacker, you may wonder if your phone is at risk. dak ackerman is a senior editor with our partners at cnet. good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> how vulnerable is this information on the storage after cloud. >> if you think about it, you have multiple copies. there's a chance anything you put up in the cloud it's available in some way. if they're not looking for it, less so really. >> my first reaction is who knew how many celebrities took nude photos of themselves. i mean this is quite a list. how did this hacker get into the system? >> you know, i feel like it may not be one person, it may be a group of people and they may have been photos taken over months or years and may have been taken with different

devices, not just apple devices. and then making a big splash by going online and saying look at all the cool stuff i got. >> how do you protect yourself from it? >> it's almost impossible to bulletproof your life. we use so many cloud services which is great for backing up information and accessing it but it adds to the degree of vulnerability because it's out there. i'd say the number one step is put on two-factor authentication like g-mail does and apple does. if you want to change something, you get a text message you have to respond to and a code so that makes shoe you physically have your phone with you to make a big change to your account. that's the main thing. >> you say this is not necessarily apple. do we know if any one company is more protected? >> every once in a while you see one service pop up or another and they jump in and patch it. earlier this year people found their phones hijacked by making the phones think they were lock

and lost them and sent a message and said, oh, you have to pay me if you want to unlock your phone. they got that message in front of them. that's pretty scary. guy mail had a lot of instances in other countries like china with the government trying to hack into your accounts. that's a good way to slow people down if not prevent them from getting your stuff. >> if something's in the cloud, dan, is it up there forever? >> we like to warn people. you can delete it but there's a good chance somebody has a copy of it. i would say to be on the safeside assume a backup copy or mirrored copy may have been gotten before you deleted it. >> that's pretty scary. >> thank you, dan. in the mean team a scare for passengers. their plane lost cabin pressure for two hours while in the air. a flight from grand rapids, michigan, to florida was diverted.

a passenger tweeted a photo showing a deployed oxygen mask. she claim she could not hear because of the full loss of pressure. the plane landed safely and there are no reports of injuries. president obama is facing mounting criticism of being too cautious this morning for having no mitt tear strategy to confront the isis terrorist group in syria and iraq. militants are recruiting hundreds of u.s., british, and canadian citizens to launch their mission. they say they could return to carry out attacks on their homelands. nancy cordes is at the white house where officials are defending their progress. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and the white house insists a strategy is being planned by the pentagon right now and it's important to gather together international partners instead of trying to go it alone, but that process starting to frustrate some republicans and democrats. even as the pentagon conducted surveillance with air strikes in

syria, lawmakers argue the white house should be moving faster to confront the terror group known as isis. >> i think i've learned one thing about this president and that is he's very cautious, maybe in this instance, too cautious. >> reporter: but in an op-ed over the weekend secretary john mccain said we need the world to defeat isis. he said we need global coalition using political, humanitarian and others to show force. >> we have to have a clear strategy dictated by a policy, and that policy has to be we have to defeat isis, not contain, not stop, but defeat isis because they are a direct threat over time to the united states of america. >> reporter: white house officials point out that u.s. has gone out after isis in neighboring iraq.

three more air strikes against isis forces were conducted this week to support humanitarian aid drops and to break a two-month siege of the town of amerly. syria is facing a hostile government and has less on the ground in intelligence. >> it takes time to build a coalition. we can't simply bomb first and ask questions later. >> reporter: and the president will work on building that coalition when he meets with top european leaders at the nato summit in wales later this week. margaret? >> nancy, thank you. an islamist militia says it's keeping part of the u.s. embassy and compound in, quote, secured this morning. despite that the embassy offices themselves do remain secure. video leased yesterday that you're looking at now shows libyan militants at the vacant residential come bound diving from the second story balcony

diving into the pool. american diplomats vacated more than a month ago after fighting broke out between rival groups in the area. deborah jones tweeted sunday that the compound is, quote, now being safeguarded and has not been ran sacked. the president of ukraine accuses russia of direct and open aggression this morning but despite nato evidence to the contrary, russians say they have not mounted a military inthor vengs in the conflict between ukraine and separatist rebels. the two countries are meeting for peace talks in belarus where the goal is to reach a cease-fire. elizabeth palmer is in london. elizabeth, good morning. >> good morning. well, even though there are multiple diplomatic initiatives under way in the u.s. and belarus as you mentioned, in europe, nato, and russia, the ground war in ukraine does appear to be escalating slowly but surely. ukraine and russia briefly called time on hostilities at a border point on sunday to swap

prisoners. but just hours later, president vladimir putin was on the offensive again in the war of words that surrounds this conflict. on russian state television he called for talks to discuss statehood for southeast ukraine. though almost immediately kremlin spin doctors insisted he wasn't called for regional independence. in brussels, ukraine's president petro poroshenko warned european leaders they've got a serious crisis on their doorstep. >> point of no return, a full-scale war which already happened. >> reporter: russia's srt pound in military has boosted their confidence. they're firmly in control of most of donetsk where fighting started six months ago and they're now on the edge of a city which they seized last week. just 20 miles away lies the

industrial center of maria pole. they won't be welcomed here. residents came out on the weekend to show their support for the ukrainian government. in town a local store was outfitting mariapol men to fight the rebels while in the next room women wove flags into camouflage nets. everyone racing for battle russia still seems determined to back. ukraine asked european leaders for help in standing up to russia on the weekend, but so far all those leaders have proposed are more sanctions perhaps later this week. margaret? >> perhaps. thank you, liz. a disappointing run for tony stewart in his first race back since striking and killing a fellow driver. the nascar champ called it quits about halfway through the race after his car became too damaged to continue. vicente arenas showed us how

stewart's fans are sticking by him. he's at the atlanta motor speedway in hampton, georgia. good morning. >> reporter: after weeks in seclusion, the three-time sprint cup champion received a warm welcome back it's unfortunate that it happened. it's not his fault. >> there's no criminal charges. there's no reason for him not to come back in. >> reporter: he got off to a srong start. driving number 14, stewart gained ground early, moving into fourth until he and another driver collided. >> whoa. into the wall. >> reporter: after blowing his right front tire he eventually had to call it day. >> sorry, guys. >> reporter: stewart sat out three races, he says, out of respect for kevin ward's family. last month the two were battling for position on a dirt track

course when ward spun out. ward walked onto the track and appeared to be pointing at stewart when stewart's car clipped him. the 20-year-old died of blunt force trauma. friday stewart made his first and only public comments about what happened. >> this has been one of the toughest tragedies i've ever had to deal with both professionally and personally, and this is something that will definitely affect my life forever. >> reporter: police say their investigation will take at least another two weeks. >> is it conceivable to think that maybe tony stewart was trying to scare kevin or throw a little bit of dirt on him? you can't rule that out but trying to prove it one way or the other is going to be extremely difficult. >> reporter: that was vicente arenas reporting. the family of comedian joan rivers saying they're keeping their fingers crossed this morning. rivers, who's 81 years old,

remains hospital in new york in serious condition. she suffered card rack arrest while undergoing vocal surgery. the nfl's policy against domestic violence has been in place for less than a week now. this morning it's getting its first test after a player's arrest for apparent abuse of his pregnant fiancee. elaine quijano joins us with the nfl's next steps. good morning. >> good morning. ray mcdonald of the san francisco 49ers may serve time on the bench. many are seeing how the strict new policy will play out. with less than a week to go before the 49ers' season opener, defensive end ray mcdonald is making headlines for his arrest. mcdonald is now facing felony domestic violence charges after an incident at his home over the weekend. police arrived just before 3:00 a.m. where his pregnant fiancee

showed bruises on her neck and arm. last thursday nfl commissioner roger goodell outlined suspension. >> if a player chokes a person or if a player repeatedly strike as person or if there's a weapon, a deadly weapon involved and the last thing if a woman is pregnant. a six-game suspension would be the bare minimum for ray mcdonald and we're looking at something probably in the eight to nine to ten-game range. >> goodell said in a statement domestic violence and sexual assault are wrong. they are illegal. the latest case involved ray rice seen here back in february dragging his fiancee from the elevator in atlantic city. he was suspended for just two games. in the days following goodell was criticized by many saying the punishment was too lenient.

it provides a test league for tougher new guidelines and mcdonald may face additional penalties from his own team. coach jim harbaugh is said to have zero tolerance for domestic violence. >> it's very possible he receives harsher punishment from the team than he does from the league. >> the 49ers have led in arrests over the last five years. if he's convicted of a felony, he could face time in prison. we're not just talking time on the bench. we're talking possible prison time. >> thanks. it's 19 minutes after the hour. ahead on "cbs this morning," college spsports moves

indictment. he said he did not condone the original tweet. trial in a bizarre revenge plot against a pta volunteer continues tofrmt prosecutors say kent easter and his wife tried to frame kelly peters with a drug possession. police arrested peters but they quickly change third focus to the couple. >> kent easter was back in court thursday again facing charges of false imprisonment nearly a year after a jury deadlocked in his first trial. the charges stem from 2011 when he and his now estranged wife jill were arrested and accused of planting bag of marijuana, vicodin, and percocet, in the back seat of kelly peters' car. she was a volunteer at the same school as the easters' son and ran afoul of them in 2010. he then called the police and

used a fake name and indian accent and alerted them to the drugs. on thursday they called jill the mastermind behind the incident and blamed her for planting the drugs. she pleaded guilty to false imprisonment last year and served 120 days in jail. if convicted her husband kent could face as much as three years behind bars. for "cbs this morning," carter evans, los angeles. >> and cbs news legal analyst rikky klieman is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> this is an unbelievable case. can this defense actually work? >> well, in a first trial 1rks 1-1 for conviction, they got one. this is really what the defense is. it's not the defense that we thifrg of legally as duress, that is, somebody's holding a gun to your head or a necessity to avoid worse harm that you do a less harm. what he's saying is this. look. my wife called me or texted me. she asked me to call the police.

i just simply said what she told me to say. >> but he said it with a fake name and an indian accent. >> well, that's juftz a little factor. one of the problems here is this couple had a complete breakdown in their own marriage in addition to the wives not liking each other. apparently the news came out the wife was having an fair, he wanted to keep his marriage together, and he's saying, whatever you want, dear, i'll do. i mean that often would not pass the straight face test as a defense but i think what happened here is if you had 11-1 and he says, well, i got one, maybe they go forward and say, i can get more. >> and yet they -- they had the texts between the two of them. they had phone calls. there's real evidence here. how is this case not closed a while ago? >> one would think one of two things would have happened. one would have thought he simply made the phone call. that would have been sufficient

for conviction. the other thing is once it was 11-1 you would have thought there could have been a plea bargain. so either the d.a. said i'm going all the way with this or the defendant said, my wife did it, she's the master mooinld. i'm the submissive, she's the dominant, i'm going to go to trial. but it's a high risk game. he lost everything already. he can't practice law, can't make a living and now he's facing a maximum of three years in jail. >> it seems to be a pretty straightforward case but it's getting a lot of attention. >> unbelievable. comments keep flying around. part of this is this reality show, we're looking at orange county, the o.c. the other is tlink's a sociological factor here. we have seen sobehavior. they say he was being maltreated by the other parent.

parents have escalated their behavior and this is about the worst of it. >> pretty bad. rikki, thank you very much. video game competitions are exploding in popularity. gaming tournaments now pack arenas, and millions of spectators follow the axion line. amazon recently paid nearly a billion dollars for broadcaster twist. here's how they're even offering athletic scholarships to gamers. >> this is what they think of with college athletics. hard hits, big plays, and fierce competition on the gridiron. but now the landscape of college sports is moving from the locker room to the living room. >> this is a varsity sport right here. >> reporter: gaming is now quickly becoming part of the college sports arena. at robert morris university in chicago, associate director curt melcher is now offering

blossoms early. >> reporter: ben aiken, grew up on a farm in pennsylvania. a few years ago he learned new york's agricultural experiment station, a 125-year-old station was going to rip up its entire stone fruit orchards so he set out to find a home for varieties that traced back to thousands of years. >> when i started it was a matter of essentially collapsing an entire orchard down onto one tree. that was the practical application. >> that's what this tree is? an entire orchard in one. >> yeah. actually it's a cup, that is a european plum, this is an early laxton. >> an early laxton? >> yeah. from england, like 17th, 18th century. >> i feel historic. growing multiple stone fruits like peaches or plums on one

tree is possible because what ben aiken does is graph a tree. >> you make a cut. you see how i cut it to make the two pieces line up. >> reporter: tricking a tree into adopting a new limb or in his case 40 of them. the tree has been growing for nine years. 14 have been installed around the country like this one at the center of campus. alive and edible. he says his project has grown beyond expectation. >> perfect. >> there's a pastor in norfolk, virginia, who did a sermon, and a big part of the sermon was using the tree of 40 fruits as a symbol, and to me that was amazing that it reached that far. >> there's something about it that's bib employ cal. >> oh, definitely. i liken it to the tree of life. it's the beginning of a story.

>> reporter: it is also some pretty fascinating food for thought. for "cbs this morning," jeff glor, syracuse, new york. >> i love that story. that's really a beautiful tree. to whole idea is cool. >> maybe a taste test. i i'm a little jealous. new hope this morning for millions of americans with heart failure, plus we'll show you a major upset at the u.s. open,

this year marked the 120th anniversary of labor day. many americans are celebrating the unofficial end of summer with backyard barbecues, beach getaways, shopping, we're celebrating on the set with you this morning, anthony and i, but many of us have really lost sight of the real significance behind this national holiday.

kenneth davis is the author of "don't know much about history." welcome back to studio 57. >> good morning. >> good morning. people sort of check this off as a long weekend, but what is this day really about? >> well, it started out with a picnic in new york city in 1882, but this is time when labor and work was no picnic. we're talking about people were six-day weeks, 12-hour days, there were no laws against child labor. labor in the late 19th century was hard, dirty, difficult, and dangerous, and every attempt to organize and to unionize was usually met with resistance, sometimes military resistance from the federal government. so it was a very difficult time to be a worker in many eric. >> so why did the government put that first monday in september on the calendar as a celebration? >> well, it was meant, first of all, in 1882, to become day to work for fair wages, fair working conditions, the end of

child labor, and the government resisted that that whole time. and in 1894 there was a very violent strike against the pullman car company. six days after that strike ended because they used federal troops to put it down and a dozen workers died, president cleveland signed a labor day law into action. it was kind of a bone-tossing to america. we're not going to give you the hours that you want but we'll give you day off. >> so it was a politicaling at that had been building for more than a decade. >> it had been building for more than a decade from the end of the civil war to the turn of the century. there was another civil war in america. it was the war between working people and the companies they worked for. >> it was battle really for like the five-day workweek and the eight-hour workweek, right? >> those were all the immediate goals. they weren't realized until 1938 during the great depression under fdr.

that was the first time we had child labor laws ending. we're not talking about children delivering newspapers and shining shoes. they were working in the factories, doing the dirtiest work, going into the smallest places in the coal mines. when we think about labor day, we enjoy it, have barbecue, but it was about a period of tremendous blood, sweat, and tears that we don't teach in our history books. >> you say there's actually real significance the idea you're not supposed to wear white after today. >> i see none of us is wearing white. i have a little. who could wear white in the summertime back then? well, you could only wear white if you were wealthy enough not wear white. working people didn't wear white. it was a summer thing that went away to a resort if you were the class that could do that. there were class distinctions about who could wear white. than the fashion industry caught

on. after labor day because you've been wearing white all summer because you can afford to, we're going to have you buy other fashions. it lingered for a long time until it was a fashion statement. >> it was until people could afford a different wardrobe. >> that's right. >> kenneth c. davis, enjoy your labor day. >> you too. how a teen's lifelong passion took him on a historic journey. that's next on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places. he insisted on using the rain to save water. fourteen years ago, i insisted on buying our first prius. because like toyota, we both know there's a way to do things, and a way to do things even better. the prius. toyota, let's go places.

not pressurized and does not have oxygen. you have a fairly low creel. you can't fly above clouds. >> plus, with a bunch of fuel it's hard to get up. >> shortly before that a student died after he crashed his plane after what guthmiller called the most difficult leg of his own journey. he flew from the same air strip and said the takeoff is challenge because of the heavy fuel load needed for the 16-hour stretch. in spite of the risks and've a fear of heights guthmiller succeeded in breaking the record and making money. he started his tech goal at the age of 12 and his goals are sky high. >> i think it would be cool to start the next apple but we'll see how that goes. >> aiming high, right? >> yeah. i guess that's how i look at everything. shoot for the stars, you get something good.

>> and then london, englabd. i thought, let's bring in an international aspect, find him a new passport so he can take the plane and see the world. he's looking for a rogue sniper. there has been an attempt on the president of france that has failed but it was from such an extraordinary distance that there's only a few guys in the world that could have made that shot. one of them is american, one of them is missing and reacher knew this guy from long ago, so they haul him in and said, you found him once, can you find him again. that's how the book starts. >> and you have some interesting thoughts,000 build suspension. i mean how do you do this 19 times? >> i think people overcomplicate it. the way to build suspense is to ask a question and not answer it. >> a tease. >> until the end of the book. >> we know about that. >> who is this guy, are they going to find him? what is he doing. >> we find out much later. that makes people read on. >> when you come back at this as

>> i'm not. it could be a bad book or movie. i'm focused on the books. the book, there might be another one starting there. the movies are there, their versions. i work on the books. the books are always my product and the movies are their product. i say good luck to them. i'm fascinating watching how they do it. it's like getting an opinion from somebody else. it's like people saying, yeah, this is what we think of the book. that's fascinating in itself. >> you prefer not to stay involved. >> i like to be involved for the fun of it. it's fun, nice people, all very glamorous, yeah. >> but they're taking something of yours, lee, and they're putting a spin on it and it could affecture sales ultimately one way or the other. >> yeah, but every reader does the same thing essentially. this book, "personal" is coming out. the reader is going to read it. the reader is going to have an idea in their own head like everyone else in the world. if they like it, that's good. if they don't, that's a problem.
