welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie rose is off. so anthony mason is with us. good morning. >> good morning. nice to be here. >> glad to have you here. we're going to begin this morning with the first public words from three kidnap victims who survived a decade of torture. the women were rescued from a house in cleveland a month ago. >> the women leased a youtube video overnight with a message for their supporters. bill safos from our affiliate woio is in cleveland. >> reporter: good morning, instead of a highly publicized video, the women decided to break their style flens ailence in a youtube video. >> i want to thank everyone for support. >> thank you for all your prayers. >> reporter: michelle knight amanda berry and gina dejesus still carry the burden of their
7:04 am
ordeal, but the video shows how far they've come. >> i'm stronger today and i hold my privacy immensely. i ask that everyone continue to respect our privacy and give us time to have a normal life. >> reporter: the last time we heard berry's voice was over two months ago. the last time she escaped from the home of ariel castro. >> help me. i'm amanda berry. >> do you need police or fire or ambulance? >> i need police. >> what's going on there? >> i've been kidnapped and i've been missing for ten years and i'm here i'm free now. >> reporter: investigators say they were at the hands of abuse for almost ten years. she spent much of their captivity tied up. the 52-year-old former bus driver is alleged to have starved, raped and beaten knight. in the video she says she will not be consumed by hatred. >> i may have been through hell
7:05 am
and back but i am strong enough to walk through hell with a smile on my face. >> reporter: just hours after berry made that 911 call castro was arrested. the three returned safely to their homes and families. dejesus appeared in the video alongside her parents who thanked the community for standing by them. >> they know who they are. awesome. >> reporter: the women make no mention of their captor who has since been indicted on 329 counts including rape and murder. now, they're focused on the future. >> i'm looking forward to my brand-new life. thank you. >> reporter: the women decided to make the video after receiving all the financial support that they have gotten. still, they hope that they can somehow maintain their privacy as they continue to heal. and as for ariel cast troshgs well, on july 3rd a judge found that he is competent to stand trial. if convicted, he could face the
7:06 am
death penalty. norah, anthony? >> the women look remarkably good. i'm sure there's a lot to deal with there. >> i know and we, of course have been worried about them and captivated by this story. it's interesting that they put this out essentially midnight. >> in the middle of the night. >> as they continue to heal. all right. we also want to talk about what's going on in the investigation in san francisco. we're hearing investigators will continue interviewing pilots of the arabsiana jet that crashed in san francisco. they're liking a look at the actions of the crew before the impact. john blackstone is at san francisco international airport. john, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah and anthony. the charred remains still lie here near the runway of the plane where it skidded after the crash. investigators continue to look through the wreckage. and also what role the pilots may have played in the crash,
7:07 am
assessing what the pilots did and when they did it. >> oh my god, that's scary. >> reporter: amateur video shows the moments emergency slides deployed and passengers began running for their lives. investigators are trying to figure out exactly why flight 214 made a crash landing saturday, then caught fire. they're piecing together the data gathered from video, the crash scene itself and flight recorders. but the pilots can answer key questions. >> we also want to talk about to them about whether they were hand-flying the airplane whether the autopilot was on and how well they understood the automation and what it was supposed to do. >> reporter: one factor may have been the inexperience of the pilot landing the plane. it was the first time he was supposed to land a boeing 777 in san francisco. it was too low and too slow. >> lower portion of the tail cone is in the rocks at the seawall. and there was a significant
7:08 am
piece of the tail of this aircraft that was in the water. >> reporter: as it made its final descent, the plane was flying about 40 miles an hour slower than normal. at seven seconds before impact the crew called for increased speed. just three seconds later, the plane began to shake, signaling the plane was about to stall. and then the flight crew tried to initiate the landing a go-around. >> we're looking at why they were doing. >> reporter: monday the father of one of the teenagers killed confronted the ceo of asiana airlines who apologized for what he called a sudden accident. they were whisked away for security. as for the ceo of asiana. he'll arrive here in san francisco later today. he's expected to make visits to some of the injured.
7:09 am
>> john blackstone thank you. and a flight attendant aboard that plane is being called a hero. lee yoon-hye was apparently the last person to leave the burning jet. she helped to evacuate the passengers even carried a boy on her back to slide down a chute. all after breaking her own tail bone. coming up first responders explain the drama mattic sights they found. captain sully sullenberger is a cbs consultant. good morning. >> we're learning a lot of details about the ntsb about what might have happened. including that the plane was going 40 miles per hour slower than it should have been. what do you make of that? >> i think part of that information released so quickly it's logistically easier in this case an other accidents. this wreckage was on the runway itself, and the flight recorders were recovered very quickly.
7:10 am
transported overnight, the first night, to the ntsb headquarters to be deciphered. their crew survived and now is able to be interviewed. so a lot of information is available, and available very quickly. i think also in the digital age, people are clamoring for more and more information. and if it's possible to be released to the public i think the ntsb is doing so in a reasonably quick fashion. >> at the same time the pilots union put out a statement criticizing the lease of the dat from the flight recorders. why are they so upset? >> represents pilots from u.s. and canadian carriers it's expressing frustration on what they call wild speculation about this crash when still it's very very early on. my approach to this entire investigation has been constant from the beginning. is that -- two comments. first, it's still very very early. and second it's more economic
7:11 am
indicated than that. everything that's been released has been bits and piece of information. we haven't yet even figured out which questions are going to be the most important ones to ask. much less have all the answers. this is going to require many months. it's going to take a while to put all the pieces together. >> all right. captain sully sullenberger. thank you. the white house is debating a major change in afghanistan. a complete pullout of troops. it would reverse plans to withdraw troops after a major drawdown. major garrett is at the white house. >> reporter: the debate to leave afghanistan completely or keep as always planned a residual advisory force to help the afghans fight the taliban is now more real than ever. the top white house aides says it's amid building frustrations
7:12 am
with hamid karzai. and to begin formal peace talks with the taliban in cot ter. that most military forces from the united states due to leave afghanistan by the end of 2013. it's important to remember back in january, the fred said a zero troop option in afghanistan was back on the table. after 69 military deaths this year, 2,115 over the entire war that option is now more real. and the afghan government is understanding that, and so is the pentagon. but white house officials insist no final decisions have been made. >> major garrett at the white house. thanks, major. in egypt, the muslim brotherhood is calling for more
7:13 am
protests today after the deadliest day of violence since mohamed morsi was ousted last week. holly williams is in cairo. holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. four other people have been killed here in the week of violent protests. the situation here in cairo here is changing very quickly and there are real fears that egypt is descending into chaos. outside the barracks of the republican guard in cairo, protesters face off with the egyptian military. deep divisions in this country have erupted on to the streets again. these men are supporters of mohammed morse six the democratically re-elected president who was ousted by the military last week. they believe morsi is being held insided barracks. yesterday, the military opened
7:14 am
fire on the demonstrators, killing more than 50 people. the protesters say they were praying praying peacefully when the soldiers began shooting. they deny that saying they were provoked by an armed attack. in this cairo hospital where many of the injured are being treated, there's anger at the army. there were women and children said this man who was shot through the arm. people were falling in the streets, and we weren't able to help them. and this man said that this injured man wasn't carrying a weapon but was holding only an egyptian flag when she was shot. supporters of the president mohamed morsi are organizing big protests today. they say they don't want new elections but instead want morsi reinstated. the country's top muslim cleric has warned that egypt could be
7:15 am
dragged into a kifl war. the jury in the george zimmerman murder trial is expected to learn today that trayvon martin had marijuana in his system when he was shot. the main focus of the testimony is the 911 call where someone can be heard screaming for help. the lead investigator and martin's father offered different versions to the father's reaction to hearing that call. >> i inquired as if that was his son yelling for help. >> and what was his response? >> he looked away. and under his breath as i interpreted it said no. >> i think chairs and the wheels pushed away from the table and just kind of shook my head and said i can't tell. >> jack ford is with us. jack, good morning. a lot of confusion on whose voice is on his 911 call.
7:16 am
we have different accounts. why does it matter? >> it matters because the core of this case is who started the fight. the prosecution wins if george zimmerman started the fight because he's losing his fight i'm going to pull my gun and blow you away. the defense wins because if trayvon martin started this fight, george zimmerman has a real fear and is protected by that. the idea is whoever is yelling for help probably probably didn't start the fight. >> jack, we've been following this case for a while now. you've been here a bunch. i keep getting more confused. what is that telling you about this case? >> in some ways it's telling you that's what the prosecution wanted to do. the defense can win two ways. one is convince the jurors yes, indeed self-defense comes into play here. he is not guilty. second way they can win, is if the jury says, you know what we
7:17 am
just don't know what happened here. because if they can't figure it out then they can't conclude that the prosecution can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. so confusion is the defense's friend during the course of this trial. >> and now the judge has ruled that the toxicology report can be made public to the jury that trayvon martin had marijuana in his system. >> interesting here. most people would be surprised to know everything about a person's background, either a victim or a defendant is not automatically admissible. here, the judge has agreed with the defense. we're trying to explain what his conduct was like and why george zimmerman was was attracted to him. the defense will prevail here. the judge will tell the jurors look, you will hear about the marijuana, you can use that for whatever you use. at least they will hear it. >> thank you. time to show you the headlines from around the globe.

and the pakistani government missed huge opportunities to catch terror leaders before he was killed in 2011. the report blames the incompetence of pakistan's intelligence and security forces. elizabeth palmer shows us why at times, bin laden was hard to miss. >> reporter: the u.s. raid that killed bin laden revealed that he'd been living in a large house in a compound with many neighbors just 60 miles from pakistan's capital right under the noses of pakistan's military and security agencies. the whole world, including most pakistanis asked how on earth could he have pulled it off. this report does fill in some blanks. based on interviews with three of his wives it shows after narrowly escaping a vast military manhunt in tora bora in 2001 bin laden escaped in pakistan. moving on to the town haripur in
7:32 am
2005. how then did he avoid detection for five more years? the report says from top to bottom riddled it says with complicency, inefficiency and negligence. but what it doesn't do is accuse of any of those of colluding with bin laden. >> the report was designed ultimately to show that there was nothing deliberate or malice. bin laden generally was a failure. >> reporter: for many intelligence in the west this was nothing new. corruption from pakistani security services is already a given. and the report will do nothing to dispel suspicion that somewhere someone somewhere gave bin laden cover. for "cbs this morning," elizabeth palmer london. >> with us now, our senior
7:33 am
correspondent john miller, a former fbi director and one of the few that interviewed bndz. good morning. >> as elizabeth pointed out, i don't think people were shocked that there were innishefficiencies in the service. what surprised you about that? >> none of that. i think the most interesting are the stories told by the wives and children about day-to-day life year after year. i think you have to consider osama bin laden figuring the pakistani intelligence machine, the united states of america, nerve expected to last there that long. >> i mean this is a scathing report that was leaked on al jazeera and then the government shut down al jazeera. some of the details are kind of interesting. that osama bin laden was walking around with a cowboy hat on. >> to avoid detection from
7:34 am
above. >> in a way that makes sense. if you really want to get noticed in pakistan walk around with a cowboy hat. plus imagine if george bush heard that, he was walking around with a what? >> the other interesting thing, is that this house that bin laden had four separate meters for electricity installed in it. so it didn't look like they were using a whole bunch of electricity. i mean there were multiple examples of deception. and yet, the pakistanis missed multiple opportunities to catch him. >> it seems everybody in town knew about the big house, except the police the military which owned that town at the location of the pakistani west point, and their intelligence service. so, now that we're at this stage of the conversation, we have to raise a serious question which is did the pakistanis construct a report -- >> that's what i was going to ask you -- >> -- that fell on the sword choosing to say we're incompetent. >> rather than to say we're colluding. >> right. you have to understand the
7:35 am
pakistani government service. it seems governments in pakistan will come and go but the isi, the intelligence service, is really the permanent government there and the shadow government in many ways. >> finally i want to ask you about the associated press report that the top commander mcraven ordered that these files be transferred from the defense department to the cia. how significant do you think that is? >> i don't think it's terribly significant. i think anybody who says they're not trying to do it for two agencies i don't is not being completely honest. it was carried out under the intelligence title of law which meant really the head of the cia was the commander of the raid. but the actual raid was done by the military. so if it was an intelligence operation, all the files belong on the intelligence side. >> the pakistani military office
7:36 am
saying the extent of their incompetence to put it mildly was astounding. the fact that they allowed the u.s. to fly in and carry out this raid without detection. >> and that's something that the u.s. went to -- i was actually briefed on that operation the day after by the director of the cia. i sat in on that briefing. and this wasn't simply just flying in unnoticed. the u.s. went to a lot of time and trouble to make sure that this worked. and i can't get into how they did that. but the pakistanis would have been pretty good if they did notice. >> john miller. thanks so much. on the jersey shore there is a turf battle under way. sand dunes were put in place to protect the coastline from another disaster like superstorm sandy. one couple says though they're losing their view and the valve their home. their lawsuit led to a six-figure settlement. but the state supreme court has just tossed that deal out. michelle miller is in cedars new jersey with a view of some of those dunes. good morning.
7:37 am
>> reporter: good morning, norah, this isn't just about one home or the 20-foot sand dune i'm standing on. it's seen as a wider case of coastal protection. and it's really about the town's fight to keep it. >> with the dune here although you can see that it's really a lot of times at the first level. >> reporter: mayor jonathan oldham says sand dunes saved the town of harvey cedars from the ravages of superstorm sandy. without them he says these exclusive multimillion-dollar beach front homes would have washed out to sea. >> it's a must. for us there's no other answer. >> reporter: mayor oldham supports the supreme court ruling against the owners of this two-story, $1.7 million home. the owners sued the town for building the 20-foot dune on their property. saying it blocked their view devalued their home by $500,000 and they were not justly
7:38 am
compensated. a lower court awarded them $375,000. >> so they're saying you know what you have damaged value of my property by building this dune to protect my home in front of me. >> reporter: haven't you? i mean isn't that what people are saying for, the view? >> well if you don't have a home, what difference does it make? >> reporter: the dune has been a work in progress for three years. it's part of a statewide protection plan. an aerial tour post-sandy confirmed that communities who fortified their dunes systems suffered far less damage during the superstorm than those who didn't. residents feared politicians could build whatever they wanted. and their property values would tank. governor chris christie has called them knuckleheads. >> i have no interest in taking your property. i don't want to build a road.
7:39 am
i don't want to build a bathroom. i don't want to build anything except a dune, okay? [ cheers and applause ] >> we are not going through that again so you can sit on the first floor, rather than the second floor and see the ocean. >> reporter: the case has now been kicked back to a state court to decide a payout for the couple. mayor oldham says the dunes in fact increase property values. and adds the safety of the many outweighs the need of a view. >> we had 95% of the people of our town sign the -- 95% of them signed them for a dollar right? because they saw the value in what they were getting by getting protection. >> reporter: the couple that sued the town declined an interview. but we did speak with their attorney. he says they're ready for the next round, as they seek what they consider just compensation. norah, anthony. >> and, michelle how big is
7:40 am
that dune that you're standing on? >> reporter: it's 22 feet high. or at least that's the grade that it should be. it varies in different places. and as you can see, they're in the process of trying to restore it. since superstorm sandy. >> michelle miller. thanks michelle. how about a glow in the dark landmark? the washington monument like you've never seen it before. we'll show you why it took a disaster to create a thing of beauty. and why this is giant statue of a famous actor standing in the middle of a lake? if you're any kind of a jane austin fan you'll know. that's next on "cbs this morning." ♪ ooh baby when i see your face mellow as the month of may ♪ if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, like me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about trying or adding a biologic. this is humira, adalimumab. this is humira working to help relieve my pain. this is humira helping me through

oprah winfrey. executives say they own the name because it was the title of a short film that warner brothers released back in 1916. the motion picture association of america agrees and siding with them in arbitration last week. but harvey weinstein will not stand down and is appealing the decision. here's a look at the film they're fighting over. >> all puffed up. say whatever you want. you need to go. >> what? >> get the hell out of my house! get on out! >> please. >> no, no. >> i can't take this no more. >> we ain't doing this no more. everybody sit down. >> i'm sorry, mr. butler i didn't mean to be a hero. >> everything that you are and everything that you have is a

butler. >> and we welcome harvey weinstein back to studio 57. and from london we're joined by christopher dodd. the chairman of the motion picture association of america and floyd abrams. and welcome to all the lawyers. we know how important this is given how many people are here. let's start with you, harvey. warner brothers say they own the rights to the title "the butler." they reregistered it as recently as 2010. why are they wrong? >> it's not that they're wrong, but it would have just said this is a movie about civil rights. 28 financiers financed the movie. and titles have been used and repeated. our understanding with them was this was just going to be a simple process. sandra bullock and mccarthy have
8:33 am
a movie out called heat. and ten years before that bert reynolds made a movie called heat. these guys told us they were going to do the normal business day practice. i think there was an ulterior motive. >> chris, what went into that decision that they couldn't use the title? what was the consideration that went into that decision? >> it's almost 100 years it's called the title registration bureau. it was established in 1925 to set up a mechanism for easy dispute resolution were resolute scribers are, the weinstein company is obviously one of them. they've submitted titles like "the king's speech," "the artist," it's designed to protect titles. to protect articles to make sure
8:34 am
titles are not duplicated. when that happens i'm not familiar with cases that my good friend harvey cited, but that's where you go and work this out between the companies. that's the role of the bureau established in 1925. you're not forced to entirely a voluntary system you sign an agreement by which you say i will abide by the rules. now, the rules are in place. now, you can argue about whether or not you like the rules or not. there's an appeals process. go through that. there's no reason why this has to become a large issue. >> okay. let me bring in harvey david boies, your attorney. david, the film is set to be released august 16th. the clock is ticking here. now that the mpaa says you can't use that title, what are you going to do now? >> we have to find a way to get this important civil rights movie out. i think there are three points you have to understand. first, if this was to do as my friend chris dodd says to
8:35 am
protect against confusion, there wouldn't be a problem here. there's no confusion. the 1916 was a short subject. no one alive virtually has seen it. not on dvd, not on television. there's simply no chance for confusion. what's going on here is that they're using the power of the mpaa which after all is an organization of all of the major studios to say, we're going to restrict competition from this new film. and that's simply wrong. it would be fine if what the goal was what chris says which is to protect competition. >> warner brothers says this in a statement to us that the weinstein company is disregarding the mpaa's rules and follows an off-ready toen path of creating well publicized controversies in order to promote their films by disseminating deliberate misinformation about the true nature of this dispute." they accuse the weinstein
8:36 am
