at that time. they were my team. and of course, we, we threw it away right away. djokovic made $21 million last year. tennis officials say most of the players involved earn far less. more than 70 are suspected of throwing matches. vast majority have not and will not be disciplined because their alleged offenses took place before an anti-corruption rule was established in 2009. since 2010, the atp disciplined 18 people including a lifetime ban for five players. none of the names in the report has been made public which top rank players say is a mistake. >> i would love to hear names. it. >> reporter: because the the atp its not a law enforcement agency it is limited in its evidence gathering abilities. scott, investigators interviewed players and witnesses and analyzed betting and phone record to uncover the foul play. >> don dahler, thanks. the tax man has a warning about the con man. there are new cases of the mosquito born violence linked to birth effects. the cbs "overnight news" will be

adriana diaz has the story. >> reporter: tony palladeno and his wife were among hundreds to boarded buses. >> we are all affected and infected. and they need to pay for this. >> reporter: it all started in april 2014 when flint switched from detroit watt tire water from the flint river to save money. within weeks residents began complaining abut the smell, taste and appearance. a year later the city found slightly elevated lead levels in the water but said there was no cause for alarm. then in september, a group of doctors found the number of children with dangerous lead levels had doubled. leeann walters noticed physical and developmental delays in her kids. >> we were told by the state nurse it is just a few i.q. points. not the end of the world. >> reporter: dr. mona hannas attica led the study on

>> when you first saw the results of your study. what went through your mind? >> i think my jaw dropped. how could we do this? what was disturbing was it was preventible. >> reporter: five days after her study was released governor rick snyder said for the first time publicly it appears that lead levels could be higher or have increased. a week later he called for flint system. in december the governor's task force blasted the department of environmental quality. which oversees water. the task force said complaints were met with aggressive dismissal, belittlement and attempts to discredit the individuals involved. today, the governor asked state legislators for $28.5 million to to school plumbing, and even a school psychologist to help with developmental needs. the tax filing season has begun.

phone lines posing as irs agents trying to rip you off. chip reid has the the story from irs headquarters in washington. >> reporter: since we first told you about the irs phone scam the number of people contacted by the scammers has almost tripled to nearly a million. >> the irs is calling me? is this for real? >> reporter: the treasury department today issued this public service announcement to warn taxpayers about phone scammers who claim to be irs agents. >> hang up on fraud. >> reporter: a deputy inspector general at treasury which oversees the irs. who are the people making these calls? >> just ruthless criminals. and they really don't care about people. they don't, they don't care about anything other than trying to intimidate you into paying them money. >> reporter: north carolina pastor al kaden told us last year she was so scared he

it started with this threatening call. >> delay in calling us back may end up into a legal matter for you. >> reporter: he did call back. >> this woman gave me her name and badge number. said that she was informing me that they were filing a warrant for my arrest. rip a warrant for your arrest? >> yes. for tax fraud. >> reporter: he did not believe he had done anything wrong. but the stakes were too high. so, over the next seven hours, he made multiple withdrawals from his bank. and sent the money to the irs impersonators with prepaid debit card. the total $16,000. and kaden is far from alone. in march last year, 366,000 people had been called by the scammers, now it's more than 900,000. the number of victims who lost money has gone from 3,000 to more than 5,000. and the total amount of money stolen has grown from $15 million to more than $26

what should tip people off this is a scam? >> the tip-off is, if you don't pay immediately you are going to go to jail. that is the tip-off. the irs will never make a telephone call look that. >> reporter: if you do get a call look that, he says you should simply hang up. don't say a word. if they call back. hang up again. by the way the scam started in india, it is so profitable. there are now call centers all around the world where people are calling people here in the united states. >> there was a major upset down under at the australian open tennis tournament. unseeded player in a marathon five hour match. only the second time in his career, nadal did not make it through the first round of the grand slam tournament. he has 14 grand slam titles. meanwhile some of the biggest names in the sport are demanding to know the name of those accused of throwing matches. investigators say they have evidence that at least 16 top players took bribes from gamblers.

details. >> reporter: while the problem with tennis is how do you prove cheating who is to say why a ball went long or who put a volley into the net. still the reports say more than a dozen players ranked in the top 50 regularly lost matches under odd circumstances. meaning they were the subject of suspicious betting patterns. the allegations have overshadowed the opening days of the australian open. the first stop on tennis' grand slam tour. >> that's bad, obviously if something has been going on. but you hope that, know that it's -- in public that, you know something may be, will get done about it. >> reporter: the anames of alleged cheaters have not been disclosed but the reports leaked to the bbc and buzzfeed are based on documents that identify more than 70 players suspected

i would look to hear the name. love to hear names. then at least it is concrete stuff. you can debate about it. >> reporter: the core group of alleged cheaters is composed of 16 men including grand slam champions. gambling syndicates in russia and italy have reportedly made big money by placing suspicious bets at tournaments including wimbledon and the french open. >> tennis integrity unit and tennis authorities absolutely reject any suggestion that evidence of match fixing has been suppressed for any reason. >> reporter: the tennis corruption police, so-called tennis integrity unit say they have taken disciplinary action in 18 cases including banning five players and one official for life. others have admitted being approached to throw matches. even the world number one. when he was just starting out. >> i was approached through, i mean, not me personally, through

at that time. of course, we threw it away right away. you didn't even get to me. >> reporter: djokovic says the offer was for roughly $200,000 to tank a first round match in russia also in 2007.

by some estimates, 80% of all processed foods, cereals, baby formulas, canned soups and more contain at least one gmo. genetically modified organism. but whether gmos are safe and whether they should be listed on the label has touched off a bitter food fight. barry peterson reports. >> reporter: dalen perry's papaya farm on the big island of hawaii may be a bit off the beaten path but smack in the middle of a worldwide debate about one of life's essentials.

his papayas like almost all of those now grown on the big island are gmos. genetically modified organisms. i'm sure the first question is, is it safe? >> you say, of course. i've been eating it. my kids have been eating it for 20 years now. >> reporter: 20 years ago the big island papaya industry had been thriving. growers were shipping 60 million pounds of papayas a year. but then insects began spreading a devastating virus called ring spot to nearly every papaya tree on the island. in about three years, the trees were dead. fields were barren. the industry literally wiped out.

pathologist, dennis gonsolve, in new york came to the rescue. >> we had a technology that could help develop a virus resistant papaya. >> reporter: along with a team of scientists pulled off a feat of genetic engineering. they took a dna strand from the destructive papaya virus and inserted it into the dna of a papaya seed. just as with a vaccine for a human, the papayas became immune to ring spot. one of the final field tests was on perry's farm in 1997. in these photos, you can see the dead and diseased trees surrounding the healthy genetically engineered trees. >> and it grew beautiful. absolutely beautiful. and even to this day, there has been no breakdown of resistance. >> reporter: today american farmers grow about 10 different gmo crops including more than

most are engineered to ward off insects or to resist weed-killing herbicides or both. that means, farmers can dramatically reduce insecticide use and when they spray for weeds, the herbicide won't kill their crops. and most of us eat gmos every day in processed foods like soda, cereal, chips, and cheese. and in november, salmon joined the list. it is genetically engineered to grow faster. and there are more foods in the pipeline. among them, a peanut, without the toxin that triggers deadly allergies. bananas, the main source of food for hundreds of millions of africans, that would become

>> hell, no, gmo! >> hell, no, gmo! >> reporter: so given all that, why are so many people so opposed to gmos? >> as a mother, and a scientist who has been looking at these, use for some decades, i am increasing concerned at the way corporations have gained more and more control and influence over our food system. >> reporter: she is a senior scientist at pesticide action network. genetically engineered seed are responsible for an enormous increase in the use of pesticides primarily herbicides. weed killers. people have a healthy skepticism to corporations telling us that their products are perfectly safe. we have seen that with ddt and tobacco for example. >> reporter: a lot of the opposition to gmos directed at company, monsanto. the scientist says she is

herbicide-resistant gmo seed from monsanto they're locked into using large quantities of monsanto produced herbicide as well. and there is something else. farmers who buy monsanto's patented gmo seeds must sign an agreement promising that they will use them for only one harvest or be sued. farmers have done this since the beginning of farming. they raise their crops. save their seeds. and plant them the next year. so why push farmers not to replant seeds that are patented by monsainto from this year to next year? >> we spend a billion and a half dollars a year on research and development and there need to be some way of seeing a return on that. >> reporter: hugh grant is the ceo of monsanto. he says if farmers want to take their business elsewhere they have plenty of options. >> the grower has very little loyalty, very little from the

the best possible crop. >> reporter: those crops are getting harder to sell. as consumes say they dent want gmos in their food. >> i want to say, no to gmo. and yes to healthy foods. >> we have no idea what arise from eating diets richt in gmos. >> reporter: and some companies are reacting. chipotle, hershey, and whole foods, have or will soon ban or require the labelling of all gmos. the big question is -- is all of this fear justified? beginning to investigate the myriad of potential adverse health effects. >> reporter: like what? >> from gmos. long term independent studies to

questions fully. >> reporter: and this its the great divide. polls show 57% of americans think gmos are unsafe to eat. but consider this. 88% of scientists say, gmos are safe. and, prestigious scientific organizations, among them, american medical association, the world health organization, and the national academy of sciences, all say hundreds of peer reviewed studies confirm, gmos pose no danger to health. a plant geneticist, and her husband is a certified organic farmer. >> reporter: has any study shown even as much as one person who has been harmed or died from

engineered? >> there is not a single instance of harm to human health or the environment using genetically engineered crops. >> reporter: she points out that farmers have been genetically altering food for thousands of years using techniques like grafting, hybridization, and cross-breeding. look at corn for example. >> this is modern sweet corn. this is the ancient ancestor of modern corn. this corn produces 100 fold more grain than ancient ancestor which is not used anymore. nothing we eat has been engineered by nature. everything we eat has been genetically altered using human intervention. >> reporter: still the vast majority of americans say, gmos are different and should be clearly labeled. >> since the food are not labeled, we have no way to really ascertain what are the kind of impacts that people are having who are consuming gmos and those who are not. americans have a right to know what is in our food. and a right to know how it has

>> reporter: and she has an unlikely ally. the ceo of monsanto. >> we have been for voluntary labelling for quite some time. >> reporter: i am surprised i would think if there is one company that didn't want people to have gmo on a label when they walk through a grocery store, it would be monsanto. >> if we are going to be transparent we should really open up. to me that makes sense. >> reporter: what no one disputes is this. the controversy over gmos is creating an ever-lengthening approval process in countries around the world. take vitamin enriched golden rice which could help 250 million children who have a sometimes fatal vitamin a deficiency. >> we have to have food that is safe. what has been put into the golden rice, a pigment we should eat every day in carrots. as we impose regulatory hurdles

crops, many children are dying every day. >> reporter: faced with increasing anti-gmo public opinion, the push to ban them is accelerating in rich countries. where there is so much food that obesity is a major health issue. yet their biggest impact could one day be in the increasingly hungry third world. it has triple-action support for your joints, cartilage and bones. and unlike the big osteo-bi flex pills, it's all in one tiny pill. move free ultra. get your move on. you get a cold. you can't breathe through your nose. suddenly, you're a mouthbreather. a mouthbreather! how can anyone sleep like that? well, just put on a breathe right strip and pow! it instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than cold medicine alone. so you can breathe and sleep. shut your mouth and say

it was 25 years ago this past weekend that u.s. bombs first rained down on baghdad. operation desert storm wrapped up in just six weeks when iraqi forces gave up kuwait. david martin looks back now on the lessons of that war. this will not stand, this aggression, against kuwait. >> reporter: after a build-up of 500,000 american troops in saudi arabia, president bush issued the execute order that turned into one of the most lopsided victories in military history. >> i was able to guarantee president bush that we would succeed because the iraqi army was sitting there in kuwait like a golf ball on top of is tee waiting to be hit. >> colin powell was chairman of joint chiefs of staff at the

egy to go after the army is very simple. first we will cut it off and then we will kill it. >> will it ever be that simple again? >> it is not lick that any more. not a single guy with an army easy to defeat. >> do you think desert storm created unrealistic expectation as but military force. >> it may have in the mind of some. it didn't in my mind. i understood the nature of the war. how limited it was. it wasn't a model of what we can do in every other conflict that comes along. >> reporter: victory in the desert followed by parade. a new biography of president bush quotes his diary as saying "i have no elation." >> we had hoped after desert storm, saddam would be so weakened that he would be taken down or quit. that didn't happen. that was a great disapin thement to president bush. >> reporter: at least the president said the united states military had finally riz in from the ashes of vietnam. it could fight and win a war

>> by god, we have kicked that syndrome once and for all. thank you very much. >> reporter: president bush mused to his diary that desert storm might help establish a new world order. but 25 years later it looks more like a lesson in the limits of military power.

sarah palin is fantastic without her friendship and support i wouldn't be in the senate today. regardless of what sarah decides to do in 2016 i will always remain a big, big fan. >> reporter: trump got a boost in iowa when terry brandstead "defeated." >> i know the governor made a appreciated by many. that was amazing. >> it is no surprise that the establishment is in full panic mode. we said from the beginning that the washington cartel was going to panic more and more as conservatives unite behind our campaign. >> reporter: cruz's attacks will have a tougher time sticking with palin at trump's side. trump reminded iowa republicans they haven't picked the eventual gop nominee in 16 years adding if he doesn't win iowa they will have picked quote, another loser. >> major garrett for us. thank you. residents of flint, michigan went to the state capital in lansing today to protest

address by governor rick snyder. they blame him for not cleaning up the lead that has poisoned the water in flint. a city of 100,000 predominantly african-american. here is adriana diaz. >> what do we want? >> clean water. >> reporter: governor snyder's address competed with this. inside, he said the state can and will do better. >> i know apologies won't make up for the mistakes that were made. nothing will. but i take full responsibility to fix the problem so it will never happen again. >> reporter: it all started back in april 2014. when flint switched from detroit water to water from the flint river to save money. within weeks residents began complaining about the smell, taste and appearance. a year later, the city found slightly elevated lead levels in the water but said there was no cause for alarm.

doctors found that the number of children with dangerous lead levels had doubles. leeann walters -- >> we were told by the state nurse, it is just a few iq points. not the end of the world. >> reporter: dr. mona hannas attica led the study on children. >> reporter: when you first saw the results of your study? >> right. >> reporter: what went through your mind? >> i think my jaw just dropped. how could we do this? and what was most disturbing was that it was entirely preventible. >> reporter: five days after her study, governor rick snyder for the first time said publicly it appears that lead levels could be higher or have increased. a week later, he called for flint to go back to detroit's water system. in december, the governor's task force blasted state department of environmental quality which oversees water.
