>> no. >> no one. >> not to my knowledge. the owner of the baltimore ravens says they're wrong. >> don't tell us you couldn't get the tape. >> the question becomes did the nfl drop the ball or was the nfl willfully ignorant about what was on this tape? >> the audience wants to hear how we're going to win. >> i don't have the speech in front of me. >> president obama is set to speak torcht. >> if we don't get this right, they're coming here. >> severe storms raked over the midwest. >> tornadoes, heavy rain and flooding in nebraska and missouri. >> apple unveiled the new system. >> apple pay. bigger iphones, but it's the watch that stole the show. >> a british explorer ship which

7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning." only on cbs news, nfl commissioner roger goodell is answering norah's questions about this week's violent video of running back ray rice. it shows the baltimore raven punching and knocking out his future wife at an atlantic city casino. the nfl suspended rice indefinitely on monday. >> he was questioned about how much he knew before the video came out. in his first interview he answered every question we had and he talked about whether rice will ever return to the nfl and he was emphatic that no one with the league had seen this second more graphic video until this week. >> so did anyone in the nfl see this second videotape before monday? >> no. >> no one in the nfl. >> no one in the nfl to my knowledge, and i've been asked that same question, and the answer to that is no. we were not granted that.
7:04 am
we were told that that was not something we would have access to. on multiple occasions we asked for it and on multiple occasions we were told no. i understand that there may be legal restrictions on them sharing that with us, and we've heard that from attorney generals and former attorney generals. >> you know there are people saying they just don't buy that, that no one in the nfl had seen this tape. >> well, that's fact, and i think it's fact because the criminal justice system and law enforcement were following the laws and doing what they needed to to to make sure they followed the criminal activity. this is an ongoing criminal investigation, and i think they were doing what they do. we are cooperative, we are supportive. we will ask for any pertinent information we can have access to, but we can't force them to provide any inform snoogs how is it that the nfl couldn't get their hands on a second tape but a website called tmz could?
7:05 am
>> well, i don't know how tmz or any other website gets their information. we are particularly reliant on law enforcement. that's the most reliable. it's the most credible. i don't seek to get that information from sources that are not credible. >> do you wish you had seen this videotape before it was released by tmz? >> absolutely. >> why? >> that's why we asked for it on several occasions. because when we make a decision, we want all the information that's available, and obviously that was -- when we met with ray rice and his representatives, it was ambiguous about what actually happened. >> but what was ambiguous about her lying unconscious on the floor, being dragged out by her feet? >> there was nothing ambiguous about that. that was the result that we saw. we did not know what led up to that. we did not know the details of that. we asked for that on several occasions. it was unacceptable in and of itself what we saw in the first
7:06 am
tape, and that's why we took action, albeit, insufficient action. we acknowledge that, we took responsibility for that, did personally and i take responsibility for it now. but what we saw yesterday was extremely clear and graphic and absolutely necessary for us to take the action we did. >> but what changed? i mean on the first tape she was lying unconscious on the ground, being dragged out by her feet. did you really need to see a videotape of ray rice punching her in the face to make this decision? >> no, we certainly didn't. i will tell you that what we saw in the first videotape was troubling to us in and of itself. and that's why we took the action we took. as i've said before, we didn't feel that was sufficient. we didn't get that right. but what we saw yesterday was extremely clear, extremely graphic, and it was sickening. >> the question becomes did the nfl drop the ball or was the nfl
7:07 am
willfully ignore ant about what was on the tape? >> we certainly didn't know what was on the tape, and i have been very open and honest. and two weeks ago i acknowledged we didn't get this right. that's my responsibility and i'm accountable for that. >> what does that mean he was suspended indefinitely? does that mean ray rice will never play in the nfl again? >> i don't rule that out, but he would have to make sure that we are fully confident that he is addressing this issue clearly, he has paid a price for the actions he's already taken. >> so under what circumstances do you see that you would lift ray rice's suspension? >> i haven't thought about that because right now i think the focus is he's got a lot of work to do. the family has a lot of work to do. we're going to obviously provide whatever resources we can to help them work through that. at the same time we're going to
7:08 am
continue to try to implement our policies and our revised education and training so that we can get to people and help people and their families make the wiser decision and know they have resources available. >> but, commissioner, this problem seems bigger than ray rice. i don't have to tell you there's been a number of recent high-profile cases of nfl players accused of domestic violence. does the nfl have a domestic violence problem? >> what we have is young men that are going to be unfortunately involved in this if we don't provide the right resources. one case is too many. one. what we have to do is go back and say if we have one case, that's something we've got to address. if we have multiple cases, we have to change our training and education to reduce that issue. >> is it more widespread than in the general public?
7:09 am
do you look at the nfl and say as the commissioner, we have a problem? >> absolutely we have a problem. what we want to do is by the policy we implemented two weeks ago is say we haven't done this right. we have had lots of conversation, listening and learning right in this room with experts not just in the last two weeks or three weeks or a month but other the last couple of years say how can we deal with this issue better. how can we prevent the cases from happening and when they do happen, how can we send the right answer and say this is unacceptable? >> do you feel your job is on the line? >> no. i'm used to criticism. i'm used to that. every day i have to earn my stripes. every day i have to do a better job. that's my responsibility to the game, to nfl, and to what i see as society. people expect a lot from the
7:10 am
nfl. we accept that, we embrace that. that's our opportunity to make a difference not just in the nfl but in society in general. we have that ability. we have that influence, and we have to do that. every day that's what we're going to strive to do. >> a very good interview. "new york times" columnist william rhoden is here. in the paper he writes goodell and his lieutenants seem to have viewed rice's violence through the prism of corporate protectors whose first respondent is to protect the nfl. i have to ask you. is there evidence is somebody saw the second tape? >> there isn't evidence but certainly a league who prides igts on its connection to security, homeland security, has former fbi agents working for them, former new york place, you can't have it both ways.
7:11 am
you have all this security. either it's incompetence or a coverup. i would have to give roger goodell the benefit of the doubt. maybe he didn't see it but somebody in his circle saw it. >> there's good evidence that somebody saw it, however, there are sports reporters in july who described what was on the second videotape. everybody knew the second videotape was out there. the second is did anybody know the contents and should that have influenced the decision? >> you get the impression if he's seen that, he says based on his reaction to the second tape, he would have made a difference. >> he said that secondly. >> seriously, again, this is a problem. the nfl has turned this into a legal problem, a business problem. this is a moral problem. and they never saw this through the lens of a moral problem. this guy's got daughter. >> he's certainly got a wife. >> if you look through that
7:12 am
prizm of a daughter watching his mother or a sister or a brother, your action is instantaneous. this guy is history, he's gone, never going to play in my league again. >> ever? >> ever. because it's an emotional thing like this. they did not look at it like that. they looked at it as a protector o the corporate shields. how can we minimize this. that's why they gave him two games. let's take two games, take an aspirin, and in the morning see how you feel. it's over. it's because people saw this is why we're here. not because of moral issues. we got busted. >> they've been working on domestic violence and sexual assault for a while. >> i think next month is domestic violence month. i would love to see these group, men and women, to basically
7:13 am
target every single nfl team that has people on that team, on that field that's either on the field and been convicted or not. i don't know if that's going to make a accident as the league as printing money, but there has to be some type of consciousness. we can't continue to be addicted to this game. >> all right, bill. >> there's more questions, but we'll ask them later in the program. >> we'll have more. bill, good to see you. and we'll have more on the interview with with roger goodell and he describes the meeting with ray rice and his wife. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." president obama will lay out his plan against the isis threat tonight. he said he will not ask for their approval. major garrett with more reaction on the president's speech from capitol hill. good morning. >> good morning. the current draft runs about 14 minutes. it will announce the next phase of military operations now that
7:14 am
a government has been formed. it's unclear whether he'll announce air strikes inside syria, something he's been contemplating for the last two weeks. the president said he had all the legal authority to carry out a dpeet against isis. some in congress including a democratic ally aren't sure. president obama said he doesn't need congress to approve the isis strategy but does need the $500 million he's asked for and the legal authority to train the syrians against isis in that country. >> i'm inclined not to rush into anything. i'm going to wait until i get the facts before i jump off on something i red on the internet some place. >> the white house said there's no timetable on how long it will take to defeat isis or how much
7:15 am
it will cost. >> it's something that's quite detailed. the president is clearly interested in speaking with the public about what our priorities are, what the plans include and don't close. >> that includes tim kaine. i don't believe the president has authority to, quote, go on offense and wage a war against isil without congressional approval. how much of a sacrifice is it for a president to engage in a possibly contentious debate with congress about whether military action is a good idea. >> the senate republican leader agreed. >> this is a matter of extreme importance to the country, to our national security. it would be to his advantage and all of our advantage in congress to be in effect approving a plan for defeating isil. >> after meeting with the president, house speaker john boehner said he would support targeted air strikes by the united states military and isis
7:16 am
leaders and sending more u.s. military advisers to it. >> president obama will bring you a report tonight at 9:00 p.m. central here on cbs. secretary of state john kerry is making an unannounced trick to iraq. margaret brennan is traveling with kerry in baghdad where he met. >> good morning. from baghdad, this is the first stop on a u.s. campaign to build a coalition to defeat isis. kerry arrived here under extremely tight security to tell iraqi prime minister that the u.s. will give more financial and military aid to his new government. isis has carved out a state within this country and he says he needs international support. a staerging number of suicide
7:17 am
bombers are flowing into this country, all of them foreign. nearly 150 air strikes by the u.s. have not stopped them because the fighters are flowing across the border from syria. sunni leader and neighboring states have implored them to take more action and now kerry will ask those same countries to be at the forefront of this u.s.-lead fight. charlie? >> thank you. it feels like summer is over in the northern plains where storms are on the way. meanwhile dangerous storms are headed to the midwest. tornados in missouri. and some critics say tuesday's unveiling in california didn't impress. wall street is sharing those doubts. wall street's apple stocks fell after the announcement. jock blackstone reports. >> reporter: to launch its
7:18 am
latest product, apple chose the same stage where steve jobs introduced the first computer. >> on this stage 30 years ago steve introduced the macintosh to the world. >> for steve cook, returning here seemed to be both a nod to the past and a look toward the future. >> it is the next chapter in apple's story, and here it is. >> reporter: the apple watch is the first original apple product not launched by steve jobs. is today the beginning of the tim cook era at apple? >> that's exactly what i would describe it as. >> how important was it for tim cook to come up with this now? >> he needed, especially now, something to really give, i think not only investors but the public a sense of, you know, that apple has a direction that it's going in and it has a vision for an apple beyond steve
7:19 am
jobs. >> reporter: that vision includes replaszing credit cards with iphones known add apple pay. other companies have been slow to catch on but apple says it has signed up major credit cards, banks, and retailers. cook ended the event by bringing out u2. and if assurance was needed that this is now tim cook's company, bono delivered that too. >> we're the blood in your machines, master and software designer tim cook. >> are you going to get that watch? >> absolutely. i was hoping it would be available earlier than it is. i was thinking it would be ahead sooner. desperatioion

american is taking on a new tone this morning. austin tice was working as a freelance journalist for the "washington post" and also cbs news. clarissa ward sat down with his parents. they haven't spoken since james foley and steven sotloff were murdered last month. good morning. >> good morning. austin put his law degree at georgetown university on hold because he was tired of reading reports on syria couldn't be verified because it was too difficult for journalists to work there. he went deep into some of the most dangerous parts of the country and delivered award-winning reporting. >> i do not accept that he is missing. i have lived in a place where he's coming home. >> how do you sustain that optimism? >> i don't have to sustain it. it's the most beautiful miraculous gift that god is giving me every single day. i do not have to keep hope
7:34 am
alive. it simply encases me. >> for marc and deborah tice, the last two years have been agony, waiting for news of their eldest son austin, an ee dpal scout, captain in the marine corps core, and fearless journalist. austin was taken outside damascus in august 2012. this chilling video released weeks after his capture, the only sign of him since. >> oh, jesus. oh, jesus. >> what was your reaction when you first saw it? >> i don't even remember because i went into physical shock. >> nothing could have prepared the tices for the horror of the execution of american jurjt james foley and steven sotloff. >> marc came downstairs again with that look again and that whiteface. i'm just begging him, what, what is it, what is it, what is it.
7:35 am
i mean it was such a gut punch. because we have such hope that that would never happen to an american journalist. >> unlike foley and sotloff, austin is not thought to be held by isis and there's been no demand for money, but the tices are conflicted about the u.s.'s strict policies on paying ransoms. >> if an american citizen is held hostage overseas, you are discouraged and disparaged if you even consider paying a reward for a precious human child because you don't know where that reward money's going to go. >> do you think that the foley and the sotloff families should have been allowed to pay a ransom? >> you know, we're just a mom and dad. we just want our child back.
7:36 am
and we want to do whatever it takes. >> one small source of comfort for the family has been the massive outpouring of support. >> we got an e-mail from -- it's hard to talk. we got an e-mail from a girl that worked at the same restaurant in georgetown that austin worked at and she said, you know, i was walking home at night by myself and austin noticed that and so he started walking me home every night. you know, it wasn't -- it was just a small thing, but, you know, he cared. >> perhaps nobody knows that better than austin's six younger siblings. >> has it been hard on austin's brothers and sisters? >> oh, it's been hard. i think all of them to a certain extent feel like their parents have been captive for two years
7:37 am
as well because in the same way that we can't talk to austin, our kids can't really have full access to us in the way that they did before this chunk of our heart was just blocked away from us. >> i mean it will always be a part of our lives. when austin comes home, we'll all be changed. certainly he'll be changed. >> does that make you nervous at all when you think about how he might be changed when he comes home? >> one thing i feel sure of, when austin comes home, we will walk that path. >> when was the last time they heard anything? >> well, over the years they've received assurances from various trusted sources in the region that austin is alive and that his condition is reasonably good all things considered. the last time they had such an
7:38 am
assurance was in may. >> any information as to who might be holding him and where? >> well, a senior u.s. official has told cbs news that they believe he's being held by the regime, but to be honest, it's a little bit murky. i don't think we know. >> by the syrian rerey jet stream. >> by the syrian government. this is not isis, which you can imagine is a real release to them right now. >> i can't imagine what it was like to see the deathings of foley and sotloff. and the hardest part in the piece was we're just a mom and dad who want our child back. do we have any idea why he's being held? >> i think unfortunately in this conflict, journalists have been targets, especially american journalists. >> do you ever worry? i bet your mom does, but do you worry about being abducted? >> of course, we worry. you have passion about it. at the same time you feel fear, you need to assess the risks, do whatever you can to mitigate
7:39 am
them. >> such an incredible interview. >> thank you. >> really hard for a parent. you would feel as parent you would do anything you could even though it's controversial about paying a ransom. it's your child. >> it's your child. >> here's hoping. thank you, clarissa, very much. flash flooding has killed two people and led to dozens of rescues. roads in las vegas will be closed for repair bus this morning we're hearing of a story of survival. danielle nottingham spoke to one couple in the flooding after they were swept away. >> there was a car coming and it got swept up in the water. >> reporter: this cell phone video shows a minivan being swept off interstate 15. >> it was like a free fall. >> waterfall. >> caller: the couple opened their doors to try to escape. they were clinging to the van and to each other and then she slipped out of his hands.
7:40 am
>> deep down i thought i'd never see her again. >> i prayed the whole time, lord, help me, help me. >> loren was still stranded on top of the van until a nearby construction crew came to his rescue. >> i had to jump across about a 10- or 12-foot rushing river. this thing is really wild. they got me a rope and pulled me up all the way to the bank. >> both walked away uninjured. >> what did you say to each other when you saw each other again? >> so glad we were alive really. we knew we lost our car and our stuff. >> a lot of it is good stuff but a lot of it is garbage. >> we're alive. we can start again. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," danielle nottingham, nevada. >> absolutely incredible. so glad they got out. they don't want voters to break apart the uk. why british leaders are more
7:41 am
worried than ever about a historic drive for independence. charlie will give his opinion on this matter. >> or not. >> that's next on "cbs this morning." and for many, it's a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine, what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar? imagine, loving your numbers. introducing once-daily invokana®. it's the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that's used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here's how: the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in, and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight.
7:42 am
invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar.

it's time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®. imagine loving your numbers. ask your doctor about invokana®. i hear it's better to do most of your planting in the fall. what are you, a plant whisperer? maybe. [ male announcer ] now get 50% off scotts grass seed. ♪

it is wednesday, september 10th, 2014. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead including more from nfl commissioner roger goodell, and rikky klieman looks at the bigger issue of domestic violence. but first here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> you know there are people saying they just don't buy that, that no one in the nfl has seen this tape. >> well, that's fact. >> i would give roger goodell the benefit of the doubt, but think somebody in his circle, some lieutenant saw it. >> they say he had all the legal authority he needed to carry out his strategy to defeat isis. >> kerry arrived here to tell the iraqi prime minister that the u.s. will give more
8:01 am
financial and military aid. >> it is the next chapter in apple's story. >> are you going to get that watch? >> absolutely. >> deep down i thought i may never see her again. you just realize you're in big trouble. it's surreal. you fight to stay alive. >> i live in a place where he is coming home. >> how do you sustain that optimism? >> i don't have to sustain it. it's the most beautiful gift that god is giving me. >> this is normally the epicenter of british politics. not today. today they've all gone up to scotland to deliver a kind of collective political love bomb to try to keep the united kingdom united. >> the new i phone 6 has a more advanced surrey. you can request her where the near essebar is and she will actually meet you there. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. the nfl is playing defense this morning against growing public
8:02 am
outrage. league commissioner roger goodell insists no one saw the video of ray rice punching his future wife until it was posted the week. the former baltimore raven was suspended indefinitely monday. >> his wife janay lashed out at the media. >> janay spoke out on instagram and she said to take something away from the man i love just to gain ratings is horrific. you respectively ended ray rice's career. how does that make you feel? >> it never is easy to take difficult positions but people expect that from us. the victim is never at fault here. that's not the issue. the issue here is ray was player in the nfl and he cannot engage in that kind of behavior. >> when you first took the action in terms of the two-game
8:03 am
suspension, did you speak with ray and janay? >> i spoke to them before that. i met with them probably a month before the decision. >> and what did you learn from that meeting? >> he indicated what he and janay were doing as a couple to try to address their issues. it's a very difficult issue for families. what i'm learning about this whole issue domestic violence is that it's very complicated, very difficult on families. there are victims, there are family members that are impacted by this, and we have to have the resources necessary to try to help them. and what we wanted to do is make sure they understood you have resources, and we still do that. we've been in touch with the family to make sure they have resources in the last 24 hours. >> and the release of this video is putting a spotlight on the handling of domestic abuse cases. rikky klieman is with us.
8:04 am
she's prosecuted cases against sexual and physical assault. there's great line, we tell ourselves stories in order to live. i wonder in some ways if that's what janay is doing. we know the prosecution -- prosecutors saw that tape. >> yes, they did. >> the fact that they saw that tape, the big question is how is he not in jail and not gotten probati probation. >> in some ways it's hard to believe. most of these cases come in to a prosecutor's office, they come in as a simple assault, they get pretrial intervention or an equivalent. his went to grand jury, he was indicted for aggravated assault, but what he did according to the rules was apply to be in pretrial intervention. his then fiancee became his wife, so by may 20th when his application was approved for pretrial intervention, it was the usual course of events. >> but there's a lot of outrage with the nfl commissioner.
8:05 am
what about the prosecutor? >> i think there is outrage at the prosecutor. in fact, there are lawmakers in new jersey now who are going forward who say they want to make it mandatory that anyone accused of domestic violence cannot be put in pretrial intervention. i would say that would be a really difficult idea to have it go forward and even to enforce. what are you doing when you're trying to protect a victim and the victim says this has never happened before and please don't ruin my life. >> but the problem with that tape, though, at one point even kicks her legs. he just drops her like a sack of potatoes. there's nothing like an oh, my god, what have i done to you. do you think the prosecutors were overrelying on her when she said, look, it's okay, it got out of hand. at one point she apologized for her role in that. >> which, by the way, it's often the case with the victim of domestic violence. they take responsibility, feels shame, and says it's my fault.
8:06 am
but the prosecutor here who is being criticized can simply say if you look at the records in our courthouse -- and by the way, same thing across the united states. we handled him the way we would ha handle anyone else. does that mean it's right? not necessarily so. should we look at the the violence years later like we did with o.j. simpson and say maybe we need to do something about it. the answer, of course, is yes. >> rikki, just quickly, the commissioner told me they could not get their hands on the tape because of law enforcement and they couldn't get it from the casino. is that true? >> they cannot get it in front of the law enforcement once it's in front of the grand jury. whether they could get it from the casino, we don't know if they would or could. they may have and goodell didn't go for it. >> and the casino is out of business. >> i hadn't thought about it that way.
8:07 am
>> thank you, rikki. the president is planning to speak tonight on how he will handle isis. the president will spell out the next phase of military action in iraq. it's not clear if he will announce any plans for u.s. air strikes in syria. cbs news coverage of the president's address begins at 9:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m. central here on cbs. the apple has come out with a device that will end up on your wrist. it unveiled the am watch, the iphone 6 and a new way to use your phone as a wallet. scott stein is a senior editor of our partner cnet. he just got off a plane from silicon valley. good morning. >> good morning. it's been a long couple of days. >> the star was the watch? >> it was. you saw the watch basically steal the show, something we didn't know much about. they're really in the wearable business. this won't be coming out until
8:08 am
early 2015, starting price, $349. there are three different types of metals, six different bands, men and women's available. >> why don't they make it available for christmas? >> they're working on the apps. it seems like it's ready to go in terms of its build. but then grow what's the point of the smart watch? can they do things? there's time to work with this over months, not surprise them. i think it's smart because we still have to convince people that we have to buy these things and use them. >> how can the iphone not be the star. weren't you knocked out by it? >> i think it's good. it's the product they want to buy. they're uncertain about the watch but the phone is the thing. larger screen is great. you're looking at apple pay, which is the really interesting story there and then you have a
8:09 am
slightly better processor and all that stuff, new design. but i think you're at the point where it's a bit like laptops. you've seen so many phones doing this stuff that it's about apple catching up to that and you have a little more storng. i think people are going to want it but it's an evolution. >> all right, scott stein. you look good coming off plane. >> not now. after that. >> thank you very much. ahead on "cbs this morning," a who's who in fashion and music on stage in brooklyn last night. we'll show you t

8:16 am
months of their living expenses. >> that's a lot. >> retires, i want 12 to 24 months because you have to be able to ride out bad times. >> who can do that, jill? >> it's an aspiration. we know you can't do it immediately. but we think back to the financial crisis. if people had bigger nest eggs they wouldn't have had to go in and plunder their account. >> two people have to look at it seriously. >> without that it's impossible to know what you can save. one of things we talk about is looking at the way you spend money. i know there's big categories, there's housing, food, transportation, but there are discretionary items. you want to look at the discretionary items. free up the money to pay down debt and establish your reserve fund. we want people to use their retirement accounts. this is really going to become a bigger issue especially as the
8:17 am
millennials get older. so you've about got your financial priorities all set and now you say you should turn your eye on insurance. >> people hate to talk about it. a lot of times people with homeowner's and rental insurance underinsure and after a horrible event they find they're uninsured. >> or you put in claim and it's denied. >> exactly. make sure you're not comparing apples to apples. be careful about this. when it comes to life insurance, i have to stress this. so many people are underinsured. one of the best things you need how much you can calculate and you can do that at life happens.org and do your estate planning documents. please, a will, a guardianship, some power of attorneys health care proxy. >> do you have eight hours later to talk with me? >> anytime. >> or we can go to yoa boya office. boy ya office. we rock here.

over the one for last year so i'm looking forward to the new version. i digress. >> hello. >> charlie, you know it's ridiculous, a million dollars for a parking spot. >> they're telling us to move on. there's a new link to certain sleep and anxiety drugs and alzheimer's disease. researchers found that seniors taking medications like xanax and valium for more than three months had up to 51% higher risk of the disease. our dr. holly phillips is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> what medications are we talking about because this is scary. >> sure, norah. we're talking about benzodiazapines. they're drugs that are calming, they act on our central nervous season. you might know then by xanax, klon oh pin, valium. researchers have looked at people taking them for three mojtss or longer and found they had double the risk of developing alzheimer's disease at some point in their life.
8:33 am
we have to be clear this is a link. it's not a cause and effect. we can't say the benzodiazapines cause it but there's a link between taking them at some point in your life and developing the condition. >> what do theys is suspect that is? >> what's interesting about this, this is not the first study to worry about long-term effects on the brain, whether it's concentration, memory, the ability to think clearly or even dementia. there may be a way that the drugs affect our gather receptors that there's a long-term effect. >> if you're taking the drugs, what should you ask your doctor? i notice ambien wasn't on your list. >> that's a sleeping drug. that's important. if you're on the drug, rather than getting a refill, make sure this is the best drug and only drug for you. for instance, there's other sleep aids like ambien and other
8:34 am

8:36 am
heat heated arguments with regard to the design of it. >> people can come in every day and walk around. you know, smile and laugh. even family members. there's a time for grieving but there's a time to make sure that those who were left are treated the way those who we lost would have wanted them to be treated. >> reporter: bloomberg, too, has moved on after three terms as mayor. he has left city hall succeeded by bill de blasio, yet it is michael bloomberg who will be in charge of the ceremony. >> reporter: is that something you had to work out together? >> no. our staffs talked to each other. i'm sure the mayor will be here on 9/11. he'll stand here. i assume the governors of new york and new jersey will be here. >> reporter: his post mayoral plan was to focus on

8:38 am
said that. i gagged because i knew that would be the sort of thing you'd use in an interview. >> i'm sure you don't feel like god but it's like, listen, the boss wants his job back and it's right this way, mr. bloomberg, is it not? >> when you own the company, you have the right do that. >> i love that, my name's on the door. you know him very well. he's very excited to go back and the people seem to be glad he's coming. >> they are indeed, but doctoroff did a great job. >> he made a point of saying that over and over again. >> a great point. a good reminder that tomorrow is the anniversary of 9/11. coming up, one man said a free concert with jay z and carrie underwood can
