morning." the isis video showing the beheading of another american journalist is authentic. american officials confirmed this morning that steven sotloff has been beheaded. the islamic terror group posted the gruesome images yesterday. >> the president said he is repulsed by the killing calling it a gruesome act of violence. good morning. >> good morning. the president wasted no time addressing sotloff's execution which comes just two weeks after the beheading of another american journalist saying that americans are disgusted by this barberism of his killing and his killers will face consequences for your their actions. >> and those who make the mistake of harming americans will learn that we will not forget and that our reach is long and that justice will be served. >> the scene has become familiar, an american journalist kneeling in an orangeup psuit in
7:04 am
the desert presented what appears to be scripted words. >> the executionist in black blames sotloff's death on president obama. >> i'm back, obama. >> his execution comes two weeks after the beheading of another journalist, james foley. an investigation is under way to see if the executioner who speaks with a distinct british accent is the same man behind foley's death. sotloff from miami, florida, had been reporting on the arab spring for ti"time" magazine an others the past if you're. his death comes despite pleas from his mother shirley sotloff last week. >> i want what every mother wants to see his children's children. i plead with you. >> a spokesman said the family knows of this horrific tragedy and is grieving privately. there will be no public comment from the family during that
7:05 am
difficult time. the killing ends with another announcement. isis knows that these executions are unlikely to change the policies of the u.s. and its allies, but analystings say these videos have two purposes, to drive fear and horror into the hearts of american people and to inspire new recruits to enjoin the islamic state. norah? >> all right, clarissa, thank you. and with continuing threats from isis, another 350 u.s. troops are preparing to go to iraq this morning. the state department wants the extra security forces for its workers and buildings at the u.s. embassy in baghdad. the white house says the troops will not be in a combat role, but this move does bring the total number of american troops in iraq, now, to over a thousand. >> senior cbs news contributor, mike morell. he's a former deputy director. mike, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what presence might we have
7:06 am
in europe and what might the plan of attack be against isis? >> charlie, i thurng we need a three-pronged strategy and i hope that's what gets discuss at these meetings. one prong would be in iraq, to go after them militarily, using the iraqi military and the kurds backed by u.s. air strikes underpinned by a political solution. second, we need go after isis. this is a very small leadership, a lot of command and control, a lot of sophistication. we need to take them off the battlefield. it will weaken the group. and then third, we need to find a solution to the problem in syria where they also control territory. that's the much more difficult problem because we also need -- in addition to air strikes we need a military on the ground in syria to take these guys on. the only military around is assad's military and as you know, we're fighting assad as well.
7:07 am
>> should we make a deal and make isis the priority? >> i think the first thing we need to do is try to pressure the russians and iranians to pressure assad to step down. that is the best course of action. to press him to step down to get a new leadership in syria that will work with us against isis. if that doesn't work, i think we need to rethink our strategy vis-a-vis assad. >> you heard the president very clearly this morning trying to do some cleanup from the week before and he said our objective is clear to clear up and destroy isil. that means more than just in iraq. does that mean strikes in syria? >> i think it means strikes in syria, and going after the leadership. it means all of those things norah. >> how do you go after the leadership? >> you need very good intelligence where they are and then you need to put guys on the ground to go get them or you need to use unmanned aerial
7:08 am
vehicles to kill them. >> mike, i know this is sensitive. clearly that type of planning would be going on, wouldn't it? >> i would hope so, norah. >> one more quick question about libya because there are dangerous ideas coming out of libya and events suggesting an iraq-like situation. >> great question, charlie. what's happening in libya is very similar to what happened in iraq. the extremists there, the al qaeda affiliated groups there, are making a move to take over the country. they took tripoli this weekend. a lot of people aren't focused on what's happening in libya because what's happening in iraq is dominating it but we need to focus on libya as well. >> mike morell, thank you. >> you're welcome. coming up, a closer look at the life of steven sotloff, what was happening in the most dangerous places, no matter the risk. that's ahead. president obama also said this morning the united states will stand by its allies in any conflict with russia. this morning the president announced he's going to send
7:09 am
u.s. airmen to help the baltic states with security. now, this comes as ukraine announces a truce with russia. major garrett is traveling with the president in estonia where many are skeptical of this peace deal. >> reporter: president obama said it's too early to tell what a cease-fire between russia and ukraine might mean. at the same time they said there could be no cease-fire because russia wasn't parties to the conflict in ukraine. that lent credence to president obama's later statement that it was beyond his reach to try to interpret the psychology of russian president vladimir putin. there's real concern the next attack could be here. they all share a border with russia. they said they would live up to its commitment to fight against neany nato plan. >> it's a commitment that's unbreakable, it's unwavering, it
7:10 am
is eternal. estonia will never stand alone. >> reporter: the president said economic sanctions imposed on russia so far have had real economic cost and would continue and possibly increase if russia would continue to violate what the president called basic international principles. >> thanks. terrifying picture. a fighter jet slammed into a residential area. you can see the nose. the plane was flying as part of a tribute to another pilot killed last week. this morning home depot is investigating whether its customers credit and debit cards were exposed. it's not clear how many stores or shoppers could be involved but experts say it could be larger than the breach that affected 40 million shoppers at target last year. in a statement, home depot says protecting our customers'
7:11 am
information is something we take extremely seriously. cbs news contributor and analyst mellody hobson is in chicago. mellody, good morning. >> good morning. >> why do these security breaches keep happening? >> it's like the old saying, why do you rob a bank? it's where the money is. the cyber thieves know it's a new organized crime. there's a lot of money to be made online because 60% of us are banking online, shopping online. when they get these numbers, they can sell them. the estimates are the thieves made in the neighborhood of $50 million from that one breach. >> so what are these companies going to do? what are potential targets going to do? >> well, now what they're saying -- target was the wakeup call. they knew that they lost over $200 million in market cap, the ceo lost its job. now they're saying we have to get in front of this and play offense.
7:12 am
on top of that the credit card companies said if the new reader card technology hasn't been adopted by 2015, if there's fraud, the retail is responsible. so now everything is trying to get in front of this new card reader which has dual authorization. >> let's talk about that new technology. we keep hearing it it. they call it chip and pin technology. when is it going to be available for shopping? >> i was told by one of the retailers yesterday, in the next 18 to 49 months you're going to interestingly walmart adopted it eight years ago and even home depot has a lot of these car readers in their stores right now but you need the new credit card. interestingly i just got my new airmax has a new chip and pin
7:13 am
technology. they sent a letter saying it is going to be safer. this is rolling out right now and you'll see much, much more of it if you haven't already. >> i assume that the credit card companies and others who are having to take these extra measures will simply pass on the cost of that to their customers. >> again, i talked to this major retailer yesterday. i don't know how they can do that. now, the costs are huge. they're estimated to be about $8 bill to change all these systems around the country but i don't know how they could pass it on. >> mellody hobson, thank you. this morning a doctor treating pregnant women is the latest victim of ebola in africa. so far five countries confirm ebola cases. we're shown why experts say they're losing the battle against the virus. don, good morning. >> good morning. more than five months since the first case was confirmed in guinea. health officials say it's the
7:14 am
largest and most complex since the disease was first identified in 1976. health official this morning are warning it's a global thing and it may affect the outbreak. >> he didn't work in an ebola ward. he is said to be doing well and in good spirits while being treated in isolation, but it is too soon to tell if he'll be evacuated from liberia. the two american missionaries to survive their diagnosis, dr. kent brantley and nancy writebol were treated with the drug zm p zmapp, but the supply is gone. so the pharmaceutical company that's making the drug is getting paid to speed up producti production. the cdc is calling it the world's first global even deppic and margaret chan says everyone has underestimated the youts brake.
7:15 am
>> the outbreak will get worse before it gets better. >> reporter: it's already tested some of the health care systems in some of the poorest countries. they've choked off some towns with quarantine zones. calling the effort so far too little, too late, doctors without borders says west africa is overcome by the disease. >> we have been losing for the past six months. we must win over the next three, and we can. >> here in the u.s. there are concerns as thousands of foreign students and workers arrive on campuses of colleges and universities across the country. the cdc is asked to screen anyone who has been in the african country in the past 21 days to take their temperature twice a day. where it's most severe sent 400 students to study in america. >> an interesting warning. don, thank you so much. two north carolina men spent

incident, but this morning there was a growing number of aviation groups saying unruly passengers are becoming an is ka lathe problem. on a flight from new york to florida, a situation got out of control. after a woman reclined her seat, the person in front of her struck her in the head. the plane was diverted to jacksonville. that incident was one of at least three in the last week where planes made unscheduled landing landings. but throughout the year flights are disrupted. in june this jetblue passenger caused a new york-to-las vegas flight to divert to detroit. in november this man's threat caused a spirit airline flight to divert. according to the airlines global trade organization, in the past three years, there's been one
7:18 am
unruly passenger incident for every 1,300 flights. the delays add up. one independent airline analyst says it costs $6,000 an hour plus import landing fees for some jets. steven waller is with the federal aviation association. >> so at what point does the pilot decide to divert? >> i think diversion is the last report. it's a tremendous inconvenience to the passenger and to the airline. passengers may have to disconnect, dump fuel to turn around. that definitely is last resort. >> reporter: during a 12-month period ending in jeune there were nearly 1,500 flights diverted in the u.s. that's on average of one a day. most happen because of weather or mechanical problems. norah? >> all right, jeff. thanks so much. and as kids head back to

good morning. it's wednesday, september 3rd, 2014. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead including the president's tough stance on two fronts, isis and russia. major garrett is with the president in estonia. but first here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> the president was saying his killers will face consequences for their actions. >> they need to go after the leadership of isis. a lot of command and control. we need to take them off the battlefield. >> president obama said they'll live up to their article 5 commitment to aid any military against an attack. >> it's like that old saying,
8:01 am
why do you rob a bank. it's where the money is. >> health officials say this flare-up is the largest and most complex since the disease was first identified. >> a number of aviation groups say unruly passengers are becoming an escalating problems. >> a story we broke here on "cbs this morning" back in february. starting today cvs, the nation's second largest drugstore chain, is pulling all tobacco products off its shelves. >> it's really hard to tell the difference between a secure and unsecured icloud service. >> if it's up there, somebody can find it. >> you can't rule out anything. >> we have not been this hot since september last year. >> it's too darn hot. there you go. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. outrage this morning after islamic terrorists killed a
8:02 am
second american journalist. intelligence officials say the graphic video of steven sotloff's behead big isis is real. they warn if american air strikes continue in iraq, so will the killings. >> it's very disturbing. they show steven sotloff in an orange jumpsuit. sotloff was only 31 years old. he was working in the middle east as a freelance journalist for "time" and "foreign policy" magazines. >> and the u.s. says it will not be intimidated by isis. president obama will meade in estonia. he calls the killing of steven sotloff a, quote, terrorizing crime and justice will be served. major garrett is traveling with the president. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the president described the killing of steven hot love as a horrific act of violence. they have now murdered two american journalists. at first the president used
8:03 am
language reminiscent of the long running battle against al qaeda. >> the bottom line is this. our objective is clear, and that is to degrade and destroy isil so it's no longer a threat not just to iraq but also the region and to the united states. >> moments later the president softened that language, describing the goal against islamic state fighters as to make that threat manageable. >> we know that if we are joined by the international community we can continue to shrink isil's sphere of influence, its effectiveness, its financing, its military capabilities to the point where it is a manageable problem. >> reporter: the president later explained it's difficult to eliminate a terrorist threat posed by some groups like islamic state because even a few
8:04 am
adherents can conduct terrorism. the u.s. will now seek help from other countries to continue the fight against iraq and syria. the strategy and coalition behind it clearly is still evolving. charlie? >> ukrainian officials are backtracking on their announcement of a truce with russia this morning just hours after it was announced. the kremlin denied the cease-fire from the beginning saying it played no part in the fighting. president obama told them to stop supporting the separatists. they told allies the united states will stand by them in any conflict with russia. we told you about ashya king yesterday. his parents brett and naghmeh were released yesterday. his father said he would do anything to see his son get
8:05 am
better. >> i would be happy to spend years in prison rather than my son being given treat that's going to disable him for the rest of his life. my son's worth everything. they were going to kill him or turn him into a vegetable. >> he's be in the hospital since saturday. his parents took him to spain in hopes of a more aggressive treatment. comedian joan rivers remains on life support this morning. her daughter said her mother would be your wemed by the continuing outpouring of kindless. she underwent cardiac arrest while undergoing throat surgery on thursday. apple says the nude images were stolen in, quote, a very targeted take on usernames, passwords, and security questions, adding that none of the cases we have investigated has resulted in a breach in any of apple's systems including
8:06 am
icloud or find my iphone. the fbi is looking into the case. we wanted to include legal analyst rikki klieman. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> how was the fbi involved in the case? what exactly are they doing? >> well, the fbi is going to look at all of the systems. despite apple saying that it really comes from the idea of forgot your password, they will be looking at the device. that is their mobile phones, computers, backup systems, and they'll also be looking to search for in essence the virtual fingerprints of the hackers themselves. >> so who do you think could be charged here? the hackers? the websites? the people that posted the videos? the pictures? >> you have to look from the greatest to the smallest. we know that the hackers can be charged. there's a law on the books as
8:07 am
far back as 1986 and it's called the computer fraud and abuse act. that's recommend the big law because what we have there are penalties for each count, each hacking. and that goes to five years account and even with enhancements it may be more than that. you may remember that there was a case where scarlet jt johanss among otherser her nude photos were hacked. a person in florida who did that, a man by the name of christopher chaney, he wound up with a ten-year plea on the basis of nine counts, so he could have gotten a lot more than that. what we looked at after that is people who have put it on the website, it's the people who put it up there that may become liable, both criminally and civilly. the website's not going to be liable, and certainly the people who look at it are not going to be liable. >> can i ask you about there's certainly a lot of headlines out there where people are saying, you know, this isn't just a scandal, it's a sex crime
8:08 am
against these women. >> well, it's not a sex crime against these women. the reality of this is it is a computer crime and a computer crime only. despite the fact that it's this kind of public exposure of something that is really private. when we have something in our cell phone, we have a reasonable expectation of privacy that no one is going to look at that. but it doesn't mean that by someone hacking into it and putting it out there, that it is a sex crime. in fact, the worst part of all of this is if i read one more thing about people blaming the victims in this case, if you take a photo in the privacy of your own home with your husband, with your significant other, or all by yourself and then let alone the fact that some of these photos were deleted, why in heaven's name do you expect that some hacker is going to go in there. that is not -- it just is not a reasonable expectation of
8:09 am
privacy. it is your own, and we shouldn't blame the victim. >> thank you so much, rikki. a buckingham palace guard was caught on video acting silly. he's under investigation this morning. the guardsman was seen doing pier pa piro piro pirouetes. the army is promising reaction. >> i hope he doesn't get in trouble. he's lightening up the mood. up ahead on "cbs this morning," he's not happy, the

8:17 am
hurts. asking a doctor does this apply to me can never be a bad thing. >> what's the bad side? >> the bad side is there's a lot of anxiety related to this and women understand there's only a small proportion of women that this gene affects so a lot of women are rushing in to their doctors to find out if they have this jean, which only applies to a small amount of people. >> it's remarkable. you saw it in your own practice. let's remind everything what we're looking at. the brc a-1, which angelina jolie had and the brca 2. >> correct. >> what does that mean if you have those mutations. >> what's important to know is everyone has this gene. one copy from your mother and one from your father. we all have the gene but it's the mutation or faulty copy of the gene is a problem.
8:18 am
two copies means you have backup in case one gets damaged. when you inherit one faulty copy is you don't have any backup. if there's damage to the other gene, it leads to cancer. >> but having that gene doesn't mean you'll get cancer. it only increases the likelihood. >> it increases the likelihood, norah, that it's highly likely you'll get cancer. we say your risk is up to 80% to 90% that you'll get cancer. >> more testing because of angelina jolie. does it also mean more mastectomies? >> it will for the women who clearly carry the gene. and they have increased knowledge and ability what to do about the situation. >> thank you. >> thank you so much. great seeing you. one solution to the western drought could be rolling onto shore. that's ahead. you're watching "cbs this

8:34 am
true. water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink until now. this is the construction site for what will be the largest water desalination plant in the western hemisphere. the $1 billion plant is being built by a private company. it will suck in 100 million gallons of water per day from the pacific ocean, strip out the salt using this elaborate filtration system, and turn it into 50 million gallons of drinking water, enough for 300,000 san diego county residents. >> there is no more cheap water available. >> reporter: sandy kerl runs the water authority. san diego will buy all of the water the carlsbad plant will produce starting next year. water bills will increase about 5 to $7 per month to cover the cost. >> it will represent 7% of our total supply of water. >> reporter: 7% doesn't sound
8:35 am
like a lot. why is this worth it? >> it is a significant chunk of water that in the event of a drought will be 100% reliable for this region. >> reporter: the only other major desalination plant in the country is in tampa. until now they've been considered too expensive to build and operate in the u.s., but california's unending drought has made this necessary. so when people say to you this water is just too expensive. what do you say to them. >> if you go and turn the faucet and no water comes out, is that water too expensive? if you don't have it, it's not at that expensive. >> reporter: at least two more desalination plants are in the planning stage along the california coast. for "cbs this morning," ben tracy, carlsbad, california. facebook by its own admission is home to 83 million fake profiles, fake. swho can you trust? nev schulman found out the hard way. he learned a young woman named megan who he was romancing union
