parents remember their friend and teacher michael landsberry. the sparks middle school math teacher was also the middle school soccer coach. fris say the 45-year-old military veteran was trying to stalk the school assailant when he himself was shot and killed. >> what kind of a teacher was he? >> he was an amazing teacher. he taught students like i've never seen. >> he was tough, but he had a really soft heart. that's why he became a teacher. >> reporter: at least one witness pointed to a possible motive revenge. >> he pointed to us and then he said, you ruined my life and i'm going to ruin yourself. >> reporter: after shooting landsberry and two other classmates, the student turned the semi-automatic handgun on himself and was killed. officials tell cbs news the gun was owned by his parents. police scanner audio described the chaotic scene. >> we're inside the cafeteria

while the community grieves. charlie, norah. >> john thank you. and president obama is vowing that healthcare.gov will be fixed. in a cbs news poll out this morning only 12% of americans say the government's efforts are going well. 49% believe it's not working. bill plante at the white house. good morning. >> good morning, we know there were signs of big trouble where the website opened for business three weeks ago but the administration launched health care.com anyway. the site crashed where just a few hundred logged on.president monday admitted that things weren't going well. >> reporter: they were mr. obama's first extensive comments about the major technical hurdles facing users of the website. >> nobody is madder about the fact that the website isn't

working as well as it should which means it's going to get fixed. >> reporter: that was in stark contrast than from what the president said when he promised purchasing health insurance would be easy. >> it's like booking a hotel or a plane ticket. >> reporter: mr. obama offered no information monday for the fact that over the past three weeks the site has been unusable. applicants have been unable to logon or have their applicationmidapplication. >> we are confident we will get all the problems fixed. >> reporter: but there's a deadline, under the new health care law, individuals who do not have insurance by march 31st next year must pay a $95 fine. some republicans are already calling for a delay of the individual mandate to purchase insurance because of the problems. white house press secretary jay carney calls that unnecessary, suggesting the administration would be flexible. >> the law makes clear that people who do not have access to frdable care due to a state of

medicare will not be. >> reporter: kathleen sebelius will testify in front of a congressional panel next week where she's expected to be grilled on all inspects of the law. for some critics, that's not enough. >> i would say that she's got a lot of questions to answer. i think she should be fired. >> reporter: reince priebus is the chair of the national republican committee and he fired a freedom of information request to find out how many people have successfully signed under for health care so far. >> this is an answer to a very simple question that they know right now what the answer is and they're not telling us. >> the administration's biggest fear is the difficulty signing up will keep away young healthy people. the health care act needs them to offset the cost of insuring those who are older and sicker. norah, charlie. >> joining us is senator marco rubio of florida, he said he

will introduce a bill until healthcare.gov is fixed. senator, good morning. >> good morning. >> it was mandated, the last since legislation was considered by congress during the campaign it was debated. what do you think you can accomplish now? >> i think there are two separate issues. the first is whether obama care should even exist or function obviously i believe it should be repealed or replaced. that's a separate one that i'm raising with regards to the law that i intend to introduce. what i'm arguing is this the law says very clearly that at some point next year you don't have health insurance, you haven't bought it the irs like with a penalty, we talked about that in the past. the reality is it's unfair to punish people for not purchasing a product that they can't purchase right now because of the technology that's in place, the website they're supposed to buy it on by the president's own admission is not working. all i'm calling for is a delay on that requirement until the general accounting office of

united states certifies that the website is work and has been functioning for six consecutive months. i think that's a prudent approach. >> do you think it has a chance of passing? >> well we hope so. every week that goes by it becomes inherent that the problems are significant. i think it's going to be difficult to reverse this in a number of weeks as we get closer and closer to that deadline. we had "consumer reports" advising people to stay off of the website. as days go on there's going to be a solution to the problem. it's not fair to punish people for buying something that's not available. >> senator, good to see you. i want to ask you what jeb bush said. he said that the republicans should let it play out and see it. do you disagree with jeb bush? >> i believe that the whole thing should be repealed and replaced. this bill doesn't do that. all it's calling for say limited delay on the individual mandate until the website is fixed.

i think that's a very prudent approach. quite frankly, i think that's where we're going to have to wind up anyway. you saw yesterday, the white house didn't rule out a delay. jay carney didn't rule it out because they understand that the problems that this website faces are significant. and are very difficult to fix in a number of weeks. >> does this also mean there won't be another government shutdown, that you would agree more with the republican leader mitch mcconnell that there won't be another shutdown, as opposed to senator cruz who said he's going to do anything to stop obama care? >> i never agree that we should shut down the government. we should keep the government open and funded. but just that we shouldn't be putting any money into this disastrous health care law. that remains my mission. one of the most powerful parts of congress is to fund things or not fund things. i certainly don't believe we should fund something. >> i don't quite understand

that. how you can say, one, i don't want to defund it but i just don't think we should put any more money in it. what's the difference? >> that's exactly the point. >> you don't use the wordy fund that senator cruz used so much? >> i actually believe in repealing it. the defunding is the way to repeal it. the question was about a government shutdown. i never believed in a government shutdown. they had multiple opportunities to fund the entire government. i myself did not defund obama care. >> defunding obama care would mean shutting down the government again. what are you saying do not fund obama care? >> i actually don't think that's a fair way to represent it. i think the right way to present it is ask the democrats who control the senate are you willing to shut down the government simply to protect obama care. is obama care that important that you're willing to fund nothing unless obama care is funded. because that's the position they adopted. look, i made a motion on the

floor to fully fund head start and they blocked that. >> what's your difference between your position and senator cruz? >> senator cruz will have to speak for himself about his position. >> you know what his position is. >> his position is we shouldn't fund obama care. i agree with that position. i will not vote for a budget that spends a penny more on the health care law. unless we fund obama care we will fund nothing, i don't think that's a reasonable position and yet that's the position they've adopted and seemed to have gotten away with in the eyes of some. >> senator marco rubio good to see you. the obama administration is dealing with another situation today. secretary of state john kerry met with the french foreign minister. it came with a french newspaper that recorded over 70 million phone calls. the foreign minister said that

is unacceptable. president obama phoned french president hollande about the issue. concerns about flights on board two delta flights caused two to make emergency landings. the fire was quickly put out. and a flight from atlanta to seattle made an emergency landing in pasco, washington overnight. an indicator light of fire in the cargo bay. but after landing no flames were found. in florida, authorities are one step closer to helping those who helped in a prison escape. two escaped prisoners were captured after using fake document. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah. joseph jenkins and charles walker are now among the thousands of inmates at the bay county jail. they joined the inmates after

captured saturday at a panama city beach motel. the florida department of law enforcement tell us they've identified suspects who may have helped the men create the forged documents and authorities are building the case against them. we've also learned that there may have been case of seven inmates trying use papers to get release. of those, three of those were successful. investigators are folk curvecusing on the paper trail that helped walker and jenkins elude authorities. dna and fingerprint testing is being done to help determine who prepared the fake documents which may have been purchased for thousands of dollars each. as this investigation goes on lawmakers are angry here. they're promising to hold hearings to get to the bottom of this. and try to make sure that the embarrassing escapes do not happen again in the state of florida. >> thank you. a suicide bombing attack on

a bus in russia is raising concerns this morning about security at upcoming olympics. the russian city of sochi is preparing to host the games in february. mark phillips is in london. mark, good morning. >> good morning. this bombing was not the deadliest of the string of terrorist bombings in russia but they have three crucial elements that make it stand out, it killed six people and it was apparently carried out by a woman suicide bomber and it was captured on a video camera. >> reporter: watch the bus. a dashboard camera of the sort in common use in russia captured the explosion. it killed at least six people and wounded dozens. the attack took place in the southern city of volgograd, formerly stalingrad. close to the region there. a spokes for more the agency

alexei mukhin identified the suicide bomber as a so-called black widow known to be involved in the militant movement. she's not the first black widow and the russians fear she won't be the last. the russians are calling the bombing a test shot ahead of the upcoming sochi winter olympics. militant groups they say, want to create an atmosphere of fear and panic. and the russians may have another reason to worry. blowback for the support of the assad regime. >> you have groups that have operated a number of years like we saw in the bus bombing. but we also see future threats where russia is playing the role of the lead militant where militants and jihadis around the world may decide they want to attack russia.

>> sochi is shaping up as the tightest security operation ever. but attacks like this one, charlie, and norah, aren't going to make the atmosphere lighter. >> thanks mark. time for morning headlines around the globe.

police discovered the little girl in a camp romas or gypsies as they're often known. they noticed she bore no resemblance to the couple raising her. dna tests proved they were not her parents. and yesterday they were charged with child abduction. they say they got the little girl after her birth parents abandoned her. we hear the same thing from other members of the roma community where maria used to live. father dmitri and his wife told us the girl often visited the girl to play with their grandchildren. are there any abducted or traffic children living in the roma community here. no, they told me they believe the roma are being discriminated against. because in greece there are rumors that they steal children and send them to beg on the streets. the greek authorities say the woman they charged also falsified the identity documents of several other children. that's added to the fact that

she was trafficking children. but father tells us the woman is simply confused. all she wants is for maria to come home. in athens the charity has taken thousands of calls and told us it's identified eight missing children from around the world who could be maria. international law enforcement groups are much more optimistic. an american official here in greece told us they're not pursuing any u.s. connections. and maria doesn't match up with any of the missing children listed by interpol. charlie, norah. a new fbi report shows a jump in cases of people aiming laser pointers at airplanes. an oregon man pleaded not guilty to pointing a beam at airliners this month. the prosecution said the man admits doing so at least 25 time. captain sullenberger is an

other than chasing down 00 each individual that you catch? >> well we certainly need to increase awareness among the general population about how risky these events. are but i think well publicized prosecutions and if these lead to significant jail time in large volumes as this one might, this gentleman in oregon is facing five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. hopefully, will discourage this kind of dangerous behavior. >> you talk about this new awareness. is there any training you can do for pilots? >> you know it's almost like the bird strike issue. the kind of guidance we've gotten so far has been general and not particularly useful. i look forward to getting better guide answer for crews in cases like this. >> captain sully sullenberger good to see you this morning. >> good to be with you. this month, maine became the first state to legalize buying transcription drugs aboard. it's not uncommon to cross canadian borders for a

prescription. as don dahler reports some are wondering if a system meant to save money could actually become the cost of safety. >> reporter: for years, robert rosen chiefed his cholesterol medication that would get it for free. but he opted to order the drugs from canada. >> i never had any side effects so in my mind they were safe. >> reporter: it was a partnership between a canadian provider canarx. rosen was able to purchase from canadian pharmacies at significantly lower costs. the city of portland would cover the entire cost his medication. in september 2012 then maine attorney general william snyder halted the program amid grow ging positions.

no-no longer stated the practice, but they made it legal. >> it allows us to renight a program that's been successful in the city. >> reporter: portland mayor brennan has been a major proponent of the law. >> one of the most significant cost drivers within health care is the cost of pharmaceutical or 3ri7gs drugs. >> reporter: brennan said ordering drugs from abroad saved employees millions of dollars. the average american spends $900 a year on prescriptions. that's down from 2011 but according to canarx it may decrease it by half. still they're suing the state over the ruling. they claim it's not just about losing profits. arguing the law puts main residents at risk of serious harm. foreign drug companies are not monitored by the fda. though a prescription might be imported from canada production of that drug may have been

outsourced by the canadian company to a country with few safety regulations. and buyers may end up with counterfeit or dangerous medications. safety has been an issue in the past. in 2003 canarx was warned twice bit fda for shipments of insulin that were not kept at proper temperature. they no longer distribute medications that need refrigerator. in a statement, canarx told cbs they've not heard from them since but kenneth mccall who opposes the bill believes this is a bargain with too many costs. >> there's never been any oversight, certainly, it's easy to claim that you're perfect when no one's watching. but that's a concern that say significant public concern. there's absolutely no accountability in this bill. no protection for people in maine. >> reporter: still, portland has already reinstated the program which could save the 1250e and its lows over $400,000 annually. for "cbs this morning,"don

stepped on the story. >> but now senator cruz and senator rubio this morning said they're still in favor of defunding obama care. and it still has the same potential, does it not, to do damage to what you think is the best future for the republican party in its efforts against obama care? >> exactly. and it still has no chance whatsoever of being enacted into law, as long as we have a democratic president. and a democratic senate. it's a pipe dream. >> haw.uh-huh. >> and you don't conduct politics on a pipe dream. and the fact that if obama care is going to fail and it's going to be repealed, it will be as a result of the kinds of clam eye its s calamities that we're now seeing that are intrinsic to obama care that it kolcollapses on its own weight. i think it's a bad strategy. i don't disagree with the aim.

i just think it's absolutely the wrong way to go about it. >> you talk about in your book the medical training in psychiatry and how powerful denial can be. do you think the gop party republicans are in denial? >> that's a good question? >> i try not to practice psychiatry anymore on a party. i used to do it on individuals and that was hard enough. >> do you think the party needs psychiatry? >> i'm actually a psychiatrist in remission right now. and i haven't had a relapse in 25 years. still licensed but i'm out of the business. and i think denial is what you do for yourself. >> yes. >> as a way to get through life. i'm not sure it's the way a party ought to get through politics. and the republicans right now ought to get out of that mode and look at the realities. >> do you think that you know the front page of "usa today" said republicans may risk control of congress over this fight. the poll numbers we've got a new cbs news poll that show republicans' approval rating has

jumped since the shutdown. do you think that's hyperbole or do you think republicans risk losing the house? >> i think it's almost impossible for republicans to lose the house because there's so many secure seats. i think what might be the consequence is that republicans who had an excellent chance of winning the senate they're up five very vulnerable democratic senators up for relocation next year. and that may be forfeited. so the idea that republicans might be able to recapture control of the congress and in fact win after that 2014 to put pressure on obama care and try to bring it down that again, ironically, may have dissolved as a result of negative effects. >> is there one republican candidate do you think will be the best to turn no in 2016? >> i wouldn't say one, but i will say this the governors are the ones who derive the most

benefit from the general disgust that people have with washington. so you start with a christy, a jindal in louisiana, a scott walker in wisconsin. if you come to any primary election or general election and you say i'm not from washington, you're already a leg up on the opposition. >> charles krauthammer, good to see you. >> let me say one things about your book, things that matter, the innocence of dogs manners and the use of the "f" word. on that note we'll leave it alone. >> that's my favorite column i wanted to start -- people at crown publishing thought -- >> they thought otherwise? >> they thought it was a rebellion. they didn't want to commit. >> charles krauthammer, good to see you. thank you.

decision making in humans. but it had never been used on dogs. among the problems they need to be awake and remain still for the claustrophobic procedure. >> they're coffin-like spaces. they're incredibly loud. and they have to hold still in millimeters. >> reporter: that's where kady came in. to block out the noise, she learned how to wear special ear muffs. once in place, the team took brain scans of kady while given commands and shown food like hot dogs first by strangers and then her owners. >> we're trying to find out how she's given the significant floridas. >> reporter: what berns found out in the key part of the brain, dogs react to love and reaction the same way humans do. >> when you see kady's mri on the screen, what have we learned about her? >> it's clearly the most active when she is getting commands from pa trish yashgs her human.

>> reporter: what do you get from that? >> it's more than hot dogs. >> reporter: in that kady loves patricia? >> sure why not? it's not unusual to have a dog version of that. >> reporter: berns has documented his findings in a new book called "how dogs love us." as for patricia king and her family the results confirm what they already knew. >> we all want to be loved. and just to know that our dog might have the same feeling it would enhance our bond. we just see them a little more like us. >> dr. berns hopes his findings will convince lawmakers to device existing laws that will give animals the same level of protection as children. >> we're all think doing they need a study for this? >> da? >> who was the person in washington that said if you want a friend get a dog. that's true. >> a dog, they don't talk back right? >> unconditional love. >> they just look at you, you're the greatest thing in the world. >> yes. >> and we need that.

>> so buying a house is it a good time for the housing market to buy a house? >> that's an interesting question. right now, home prices are going up fast. they've slowed maybe a little bit on a seasonably-adjusted basis. still going up. so someone who is thinking about buying a home in a year might move it ahead and buy it now. but if you're long-term investor, i don't know. i mean where it's going to go over -- >> why don't you think home vest investing is a good investment? >> i don't think -- >> why don't you? >> i have data going back to 1990 in home prices. home prices in real inflation times according to my data did not go up in 100 years. people have this idea that homes will go up because land is scarce. land is scarce but it's only about 20% of home value. the rest is structure which goes out of style, depreciates.

with the new president of china, that tibet could gain autonomy? >> i can definitely answer but there are these kind of opinions among chinese friends. so, we'll see. >> but now china is telling world leaders not to meet with you? >> okay. from their own view. it is quite logical. some of the chinese officials consider me as demon. so it's really worth while to stop meeting with a demon. >> doesn't make you angry? >> no. >> after all, anger is just one of the temptations that have no place in this monk's life. >> no wine? no tobacco or anything like that? >> no. >> and you're celibate, right? >> oh, yes. >> what do you do for fun? >> fun, think.
