welcome. >> good morning. we are at war. that's what the secretary of defense told congress as he announced more american ground forces will be sent to battle isis in syria and iraq. about 200 special operation troops will launch raids from a base in northern iraq. >> the troops mission will be to capture isis leaders and gather intelligence. charlie d'agata recently returned from iraq and is outside of britain's parliament in london where lawmakers will decide today whether to expand that country's air campaign. >> good morning. >> reporter: that debate is under way behind me. now, prime minister david cameron made clear where he stands on the issue saying anyone who votes against air strikes in syria is a terrorist sympathizer. this all comes as the united states is about to dramatically step up efforts on the ground. if the vote goes through, as expected, british tornado fighter jets like these will join the u.s.-led air campaign against isis targets in syria within days.

but it is on the ground that the united states is about to take the fight to isis. the pentagon has announced that about 200 special operations forces will be deployed to the northern iraqi city of erbil. from there they will conduct raids in iraq and syria. defense secretary ash carter told congress the new forces will help gather intelligence and hunt down isis leaders. >> an important capability because it takes advantage of what we are good at and it puts everybody on notice. >> reporter: in a bid to save face and aimed at the iraqis themselves, iraq's prime minister said his forces were capable of defeating isis without the help of foreign combat troops. secretary of state john kerry said the iraqis were fully briefed. >> we will continue to work very, very closely with our iraqi partners on exactly who would be deployed, where they would be deployed. >> reporter: the iraqi military appears poised to face a critical test.

the takeback of the city of ramadi. tv announcements have warned civilians in ramadi to evacuate their homes immediately. while isis militants reportedly are threatening to kill anybody who tries. a success in ramadi may help prove that months of air strikes, along with capable ground forces, are having an impact on isis militants, but in an interview with czech television, syrian president bashar al assad said air strikes from the u.s. and its coalition allies were having the opposite effect. >> the coalition, isis has extended the recruits from abroad has increased. >> reporter: in all likelihood, the skies over syria are about to become even more crowded. they will have a ten-hour debate here and vote and it's widely expected the prime minister will get the go ahead to pull the trigger. >> charlie d'agata in london, thank you. the hunt for isis followers in america now extends to all 50

states. the george washington university program on extremism reports 56 suspects have been captured so far this year for alleged ties to isis. that is the highest number of terror arrests in this country in a single year, since the 9/11 attacks. the fbi is investigating the most cases in new york and minnesota. jeff pegues shows us what makes this manhunt so tough. >> reporter: of the 41 people charged so far with isis reason related activities and most are men and 25 years or younger and come from array of ethnic groups and socioeconomic and economic status. >> no profiles spread throughout the country. >> reporter: this man is one of the report's authors. so there is no cookie-cutter i.d. of who these people are? >> could not be more -- >> reporter: that is a problem for law enforcement? >> profiling, absolutely do not work. >> reporter: no other case is perhaps more representative of that than the arrest of a mississippi couple in august.

muhammad dakhalla and jaelyn young were arrested after fbi noticed their twitter posts. the last year, the fbi doctirec has said the agents have their work cut out for them. >> there isn't a demographic or a location to age. the syria travelers range early on from 18 to 63. >> reporter: the report says the so-called isis-u.s. echo chamber has posts like this one on twitter. 300 american isis sympathizers were monitored during the study and nearly one third of the accounts are purportedly operated by women. a lot what have is said online is just talk. but the report concludes that at some point, a subset of americans inside the domestic isis bubble will move from chatter to act.

for "cbs this morning," jeff pegues in washington. isis will be a big topic when norah o'donnell sits down with president obama at the white house today which explains why she is not at the able right now. it will be his first interview since the climate talks in paris and begin it you tom on "cbs this morning." the justice department is being asked to investigate the chicago police department. the city's police superintendent garry mccarthy was forced to resign on tuesday. that followed the release of a dash cam video that shows a black teenager being shot by a white officer who is now charged with murder. dean reynolds is in chicago at chicago police headquarters where the superintendent was ousted just hours after saying he had no plans to leave. dean, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, it was just a couple of days ago that garry mccarthy seemed pretty secure in his job, but a rising tide of shootings, murders, and gang violence, together with a drop in public

trust in the police, seem to move mayor rahm emanuel's hand and make him decide it was time for a change. police superintendent garry mccarthy has been under pressure since protests followed the release of this police dash cam video showing chicago police officer jason van dyke shooting 17-year-old laquan mcdonald 16 times last october. many, including local politicians, called for mccarthy to resign and, tuesday, mayor emanuel followed through. >> he has become an issue rather than dealing with the issue. >> reporter: the mayor also announced the creation of a new police accountability task force. >> 16 shots! >> reporter: a group of faith and community leaders demonstrating outside the mayor's office called for an independent police auditor instead. >> the mayor calling for a special task force is kind of like the fox watching the henhouse shra.

>> reporter: emanuel faces criticism over his administration's handling of police controversies. the mcdonald shooting video was released only after the judge ordered it be made public. critics say emanuel held the tape for numerous concerns including it could affect his re-election bid. now the mother of another young black man also shot by police here last year is fighting to have the dash cam video of that shooting released. 25-year-old ronald johnson was killed by an officer last october. police say he pointed a gun at them. johnson's mother and her attorney say they have already seen the video. >> the dash cam video, which i'm not allowed to show you today, clearly shows that he was not carrying a weapon, nor did he ever turn and point anything. >> reporter: now the attorney for johnson's mother says that dash cam video could be released

by court order as soon as december 10th. gayle? >> thank you, dean, very much reporting from chicago. a new presidential poll this morning shows that rivals marco rubio and ted cruz are making a run at donald trump. the billionaire, though, still leads the gop race by a wide margin 27% of republicans nationwide back the real estate mogul. but rubio has now surged into second place with 17% and ted cruz jumped to 16% and he is now tied with ben carson. nancy cordes is in washington with trump's new attacks on his rivals. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. trump's recent comments will muslims and a disabled reporter clearly have not hurt him and in fact, up three points since last month. nearly half of his supporters say they have made up their minds. which is something else that separates him from the rest of the field. >> you want to know the truth? but i won't say that. >> reporter: at a nighttime rally in new hampshire, trump dismissed the rest of the gop

pac and repeated his debunk claim he saw thousands celebrating in new jersey on 9/11. >> i saw it and a lot of people saw it. >> reporter: at proof he cited a newspaper article, as well as clips from new york station wcbs and from mtv in 2001 none which showed a large celebration. >> there hasn't been a jubilee in the streets or anybody in the neighborhoods having fun or thinking this was a great or glorious idea. >> reporter: in debuiubuque, io jeb bush said -- >> he has gone too far and showing a lack of seriousness as being capable of being president. >> reporter: bush is stuck at 5% in the latest quinnipiac poll, while senators marco rubio and ted cruz are both up three points from last month. nonetheless, bush set his sites on democratic front-runner hillary clinton and these comments she made to charlie rose about fighting isis. >> in terms of thousands of

combat troops like some on the republican side are recommending, i think that should be a nonstarter. >> reporter: bush said he would leave all options on the table. >> this is all political for her. this should be viewed as a national security threat because that is exactly what it is. if you start by creating preconditions for america's leadship, you're not going to have followers. plain and simple. >> reporter: the clinton campaign tells cbs news she does support sending in more special operations forces, just not tens of thousands of american troops. clinton is up seven points in the latest quinnipiac poll and leads bernie sanders among democratic voters by a margin of 2-1. >> nancy cordes, thank you. parts of the central u.s. this morning are preparing for more wintry weather from a deadly and powerful storm. heavy snow on monday and tuesday buried parts of the midwest. it caused accidents and created whiteout conditions in minnesota, nebraska, and the dakotas.

some of the hardest hit areas saw close to a foot of snow. david begnaud is in sioux falls, south dakota, where people are digging out from this record snowfall. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it will hover below freezing most of the day in sioux falls, south dakota, but with the windchill it will feel like 15 degrees. look. it's not even winter yet but i got to tell you from the way it feels and the way it looks, it sure feels like. it. through the blistering cold, plows cleared the mountain snow off the streets of sioux falls, south dakota. as more snow fell overnight, nearly a foot of it has blanketed the city since monday. for days, this deadly storm has smacked the midwest. it dumped record amounts of snow and created whiteout conditions that turned roads into a slick, slippery mess. eldora lee lives in sioux falls and spent an hour clearing her snow on tuesday.

the 81-year-old shovels her landlord's driveway to help pay her rent during the winter. >> we live in south dakota, so we should get used to it. i think we are going to have a lot of it. >> reporter: in the middle of the storm postal worker donald shea delivered 2,000 pieces of mail. you started off delivering mail in south dakota and you moved to south dakota. am i wrong to guess that san diego is better? >> way easier. >> reporter: in minnesota three people died in weather-related crashes this week and weather is blamed fmore than 5:00 accident. >> you drive on a road and then, suddely, come on a patch of ice and catch some slush or something and pull you into the ditch or another vehicle or something. >> reporter: as this snow system moves east, it will turn to rain, charlie, soaking millions of people from new york to maine. >> thanks, david. investigators in arizona this morning are trying to find suspects who hit four aircrafts with lasers.

>> having this child has made us think about all of the things that should be improved in the world for whole generation. >> reporter: the birth of maxima chan zuckerberg prompted their parents to write this letter. dear max, likely all parents we want you to grow up in a world better than ours today. our society has an obligation to invest now, to improve the lives of all those coming into this world. the couple plans to put 99% of their facebook shares over time into the chan/zuckerberg initiative. those publicly traded shares are currently worth about $45 billion. >> zuckerberg could usher in new rea of philanthropy. >> reporter: forbes estimates zuckerberg's net worth at $46.8 billion. nearly a year ago he signed a giving pledge in which

billionaires like warren buffett and bill gates agree to donate a majority of their wealth to charity. >> we need to make sure an investment of programs ensure the future isn't going to be like today. the future is going to be better than today. >> reporter: the chan/bezuckerbg was formed as an llc to give it more attitude to pursue its mission by funding nonprofit organizations and making private investments, and participating in policy debates. in 2010 zuckerberg and chan gave money to the new york city school system but some educators and parent groups claim it caused political havoc and resulted in a public backlash over teacher contracts and charter schools. last month on facebook, zuckerberg says we now better understand why it take years to build the support to durably

cement the changes needed to provide every sunt with a high quality education. zuckerberg does not plan to give away more than $1 billion a year the next three years, and retain his controlling interest in facebook for the foreseeable future. >> you know what is interest about this? i was at an event last night in which bono paid tribute to carnegie hall to bill and melinda gaetes. >> you read the comments on the internet they are getting a mix of opinions. >> about facebook or -- >> yes. >> that is called haters. bravo

monday inside of his home in downtown juneau. we are there with details of the mystery that has shaken the isolated city. >> reporter: juneau police tell us there were injuries found on greg fisk's body when it was found here at his home by his son, but they have not determined a cause of death as of yet and their police investigation continues. police arrived at juneau mayor's greg fisk's home monday afternoon after receiving a 911 call from his son and found the body of the 70-year-old inside the front room of the house with injuries that reply say could be characterized as signs of trauma. >> i really, really love this town. i think it's a very special place. >> reporter: fisk's death comes less than two months after he defeated the city's incumbent mayor in a landslide. as word of fisk's death spread on monday, so didumors that he may have been assaulted.

>> juneau is a small town, about 33,000 people here, and there are no inroads in or out of the city when gossip starts spreading. it's easy for things to spread quickly. >> reporter: bob king was a longtime friend and neighbor of the mayor. >> there was a recent, you know, murder here in town that had people on edge. when you have an death like this, people do get nervous and the like. and these questions come up. >> reporter: in a statement, juneau police called the assault claims speculation, and said an autopsy would be performed to determine the cause of death. they also tell cbs news there was no forced entry, no gunshot wound, no suspicion of suicide, and nothing to indicate drugs or drug use were involved. >> i do think it's unlikely, however, that foul play was involved, just because he was a very popular guy, he was an

outgoing person and the fact he won the election by a wide margin. >> reporter: fisk lived alone and was discovered by his son ian who was checking on his father after the mayor missed several meetings on monday. in a statement, ian thanked the juneau community for its sport and also denied suggestions of foul play saying, at this time, we have no reason to speculate as to the cause of his death and are awaiting the results of his autopsy. now the anchorage million xaedi examiner could have the results back as early as monday. one suspects that fisk could have taken a deep fall inside his home that lead up to his office. >> very sad story. thank you, mireya villarreal in juneau. an american airlines worker joanne snow is accused of meltdown. snow is in jail waiting for her

interrupting yourself and that is happening. internet isn't going away and a lot of value in it. the problem is anything even a virtue overused eventually becomes a liability and when you lose control of your own attention, when you feel pulled into the world of all that is available on the internet, it begins to have some pretty insidious impacted on your brain. >> i was surprised there was an issue for you considering what you do. you start the article saying you're reading a book and kept reading the same paragraph over and over again. how do you know, a, it wasn't a good book, and how does that mean you have a distraction problem. >> i love books and even bad books, historically, have drawn me in! i don't remember what book i wasn't reading but i know reading is something i can do relevant easily. it is surprising it happened to me because i'm a lifelong reader. even as i read, i had that hunger. all three of you have your smartphone sitting here right in front of you. >> yes. >> when you go to break, your

>> thanks for having me. >> you know the concern for this. polls show people and citizens across the country are concerned. for those who see that concern or express that concern, how do you prove them otherwise and what is it exactly that you believe? >> well, we are, as you know, we are an agricultural company and we sell seeds to farmers to make harvest and those harvest end up on plates around the world. genetically modified organicisms, next year is the 20th anniversary. billions of acres and trill i don't know those of portions of food and probably the most studied food production in history. i feel confident about the safety but, as you say, because of this, you know, the continued concern, we probably should do a better job and dialogue. >> you mean more transparency? more conversation? more what? >> i think more conversation.

i think part of the challenge, there is such misinformation on where food comes from. >> what is the misinformation? >> people between what arrives on a plate and what farmers do to -- so far, 2% of the country feeds 98%. so i think for companies like mine, we have got our work cut out in explaining what agriculture is and where food comes from. >> are you in favor of mandatory labeling? >> i'm in favor of some federal standards, so i'm -- i think a broad umbrella in labeling that is based on science, and based on facts. and i welcome -- my concern, charlie, is that a lot of the labeling debate so far is that different labels in different states and that results in confusion instead of transparency, and it results in

more expense. if there was an overall standard, kind of like the organic. if you look today at the organic food standard, i would be -- i'd be in favor of. >> to charlie's point about transparen transparency, your company spent over $4 million to defeat a balloting in two states. if you're for transparency, why spend so much money to make sure it doesn't happen? >> a deep concern we end up with a patch work quilt of state-by-state regulations where you end up in a place where you can't move a can of soup from one state to the other. you talk to the food manufacturer -- we have a seed company. when you talk to the food manufacturers, the concern is how do you move food between states? so if you fast forward, we have been at this for 20 years. you think forward and think of the food security and challenges of climate change, these are tools we have to have in our backet pocket.

i'm concerned if you build a patchwork state-by-state regulation we are never going to move forward sxnts consumer pays $400 to $500 more a year in their grocery bills because you get state-by-state regulation. i like the idea something that covers the country. >> isn't it in your interest to get out in front of this? >> yeah. that's why i'm talking to you here today. >> but you've got chain restaurants like mcdonald and 'cha chipotle. what do they douknow? >> the real change the last couple of years i said we are a seed company. the restaurants are so far down the chain from us. i think more and more, this is all interconnected, so we have been spending more time talking to the food companies and more time talking to the consumers because i think when you -- when you think of 2.5 billion -- in our planet and the next 40 years, we are going to need every tool in the box to satisfy

us. >> i'm curious. i know your company deals primarily with seeds. will you try the geneticive modified salmon when it's out on the market? >> absolutely. >> you have no problem with that? >> no. i look forward to trying the salmon. it's not one of our products but, as i said, we going to need all of these elements for our kids and our grandkids. >> quickly. we want to talk about roundup. it's been approved in america by the epa, something that your company manufactures. but many studies have looked at where it's funded or conducted by your company that this chemical may actually, could cause cancer. a chemical that is in this seed. is there any sort of response to that? are we, in fact, poisoning our crops by using this roundup chemical? >> not at all. farmers depend on this and it's an important tool in the fight against weeds. every spring when they plant a crop, the weeds are there.

they are there every spring. they need all the help they can get to combat those weeds. i feel very good about the safety of the product. it's been studied extensively for more than 40 years. if you think to the future, and how we -- there is two challenges. how do we feed the hungry world and how do we feed 9.5 billion people? number one. number two, simultaneously, how do we fight climate change? we need all of these tools and these products to help combat -- >> you promised to go carbon neutral in crop production? >> we made the announcement yesterday we will be carbon neutral in six short years. for our entire footprints, we will be in a position where we -- what we emit will be covered by what we consume. >> no one realistically is expecting you to think your product wasn't safe but can you understand why people are concerned? >> yeah. i think that the key for me, for

destroying -- and we talk did it in the movie -- you're destroying someone's faith. >> because they think it's coming from god almost? >> of course! it's a direct manifestation of god. if you're a catholic, the priest is a direct manifestation of god. they are almost infallible. >> the victims are coming from affluent communities. for somebody to pay attention to them like that, of course, they are drawn into it. >> the predators, they looked on the margins. they were like a wolf waiting for a lame sheep. they looked for children who didn't have father figures, who were vulnerable who they knew would not speak out. the reason that it's boys are predominantly the ones molested not a preference from boyses but boys are most easily victimized. they don't speak out. they are ashamed. and that is why -- these guys are predators and they fit in

m.o. they were predators. >> did it change how you felt about your religion, mike, when you were reporting the story and working on? >> even though i was a lapsed catholic at the time, i still considered myself a catholic and i still identified catholic. and it did change how i felt about the church, no question about it. just the wall of secrecy and the lies about these terrible things that had taken place, it did affect me, of course. >> thank you both. i wish we had more time. >> oh, yeah. >> such a fantastic movie "spotlight" is in theaters right now. you're watching "cbs this morning." we will be right back.
