a 29-year-old moue man sentenced behind bars is finally back with his family this morning. ryan ferguson spent nearly a decade trying to prove he is an innocent man. he celebrated his lease last night with a steak and a beer. >> a state appeals court overturned ferguson's murder conviction last week. now missouri's attorney general says he will not retry the case. ryan ferguson and his father join us in a moment. but first "48 hours" correspondent air moriarty is here. her eight years of original covering of this case covered the gaps. good morning to you. >> good morning. most people expected it would take months to resolve ryan ferguson's fate. it took just four days. >> ryan! yay! >> how are you doing. >> it was finally over. last night a smiling ryan

forgets ferguson appeared before reporters and press. no longer in handcuffs or his prison-issued jumpsuit. he first thanked his parents, bill and mary ferguson. >> they're the most amazing parents. without them, i wouldn't have have had any hope. >> ferguson was convicted in 2005 of killing kent height hold, a popular newspaper sports editor. while there was plenty of physical evidence at the scene, none of it matched ferguson. he was convicted on the word of two witnesses. one was charles erickson, a high school classmate, who claimed they killed height hold in a late-night robbery. the other, a janitor who said he saw ferguson at the crime scene. both men later admitted they lied at trial. surprisingly, ferguson says he holds no grudges against his former friend. >> he was used, manipulated, and i kind of feel sorry for the

guy. >> alongside ferguson was his attorney kathleen zellner who took his case probono after seeing his case on "489 ho hour" >> he was so worth the effort, what he did and his parents did. he was an amazinamazing, amazin person. >> he didn't get a fair trial. ryan ferguson is now looking forward to the little things. >> i'm kind of looking forward to dairy queen. >> making up for lost time with his big sister and the rest of his family and catching up with good friends. >> and, of course, my beautiful girlfriend. >> it wthe tate announced yeste it would not retry him at this time. what it means is the state could bring charges at a new time if evidence resurfaces but there's far more evidence pointing to other suspects than ryan

ferguson. >> ryan ferguson and his father will with us now from columbia, missouri, for the first time since being released. good morning. >> good morning. >> i can imagine you might have never seen this day or believed you would. now that you've arrived, tell us your emotions. >> i don't think my emotions have caught up yet. it's early in this morning. i haven't had the opportunity to experience the day yet but i know as it unfolds, there will be new adventures and it will be incredible. definitely looking forward to getting into the day. >> you have said to get arrested and get charged for a crime you didn't commit is very easy but to get out of prison, it takes an army. tell me about that. >> it does. >> it does take an army, and fortunately we had the marines and that was in the form of kathleen zellner and that made all the difference in the world. kathleen saved the day for our

family. >> absolutely. >> ryan, what about your parents? i mean you gave a shout-out to your parents who have stood by you this entire decade. >> it no doubt begins the end of my parents -- they've been there since day one. they believe in me. they've taken time to look at all the facts and they've been fighting nonstop. my sister as well. my whole family. they've been incredible. without them, i know that it would have been very difficult for me to have hope and have faith in the process, and to be there when kathleen came along to be able to help us. >> how do you restrain what must be a sense of deep injustice, a sense of rage, teen hostility you should feel or might feel to mr. erickson, who helped put you there? >> you know, mr. erickson was used, and that's pure and simple. i think it's easy to see that by

looking at the facts. you know, there needs to be accountability for the way he was used, and there's multiple cases where other individuals have been, you know, kind of pushed into false confessions. so that's a whole other subject. it would take quite a while to delve into that completely. but, you know, i feel sorry for that individual. hopefully he'll get justice one day. >> so what are the things you think you might want to do now. >> the things i might need to do. i need to get clothes. really the basic things, the fundamental things that people overlook on a daily basis. i need to build my life back. >> i want to ask ryan and bill. did you ever, ever expect this to happen this quickly? most people thought it was going to take months. >> well, we're quite surprised actually. we thought it would more likely happen today if it was going to happen. it wasn't a question of if it was going to happen. it was a question of when it was

going to happen. yeah, we're surprised, and we're so excited, absolutely. >> and, bill, what about erin moriarty, you know, who has been on this case from the beginning with "48 hours." >> they've been excellent. they were the leaders that brought attention to this case back in 2006. they started filming the trial in 2005 and they just stayed with it all the way through. that just means so much to us. >> absolutely. >> that was tremendous. tremendous. >> congratulations to you and your family and your father and your attorney who fought so hard to make this happen, and also to our own erin moriartys who coverage for "48 hours" i think, led to the attorney who helped do so much for them who was involved in the case. >> i think the focus on this case particularly now may have helped contribute to the fact they decided not to retry them. they didn't drag it out any longer there was so much focus on this case. >> great work. >> thank you. >> thank you, again, ryan and bill ferguson.

>> thank you. from good news to tragedy. leaf operations in the philippines are expected to pick up speed this morning five days after one of the strongest typhoons on record. two more airports reopened to allow more aid flights. the official death toll stands at 2,275. among those killed, at least two americans. the country's president expects the final death toll to be around 2,500, not the 10,000 previously feared. nearly 600,000 remain out of their homes. before after after satellite image of the city tacloban shows the devastation of the cities by the storm surge and it's there that seth doane is finding the situation growing more desperate. >> reporter: good morning. we're learning that eight people are dead after looters stormed a warehouse where rice was stockpiled. a wall caved in and crushed people. still looters were able to get away with tens of thousands of bags of rice. we are certainly seeing the

desperate is growing here. more aid is slowly trickling into ta clowe ba, but with many roads still impassible, the challenge is getting help to those who need it most. >> people are dying here. too many people are dying. just for that storm. >> reporter: his family runs a small store. now they don't have enough to eat. >> we can't get any food or buy food from other stores. >> tuesday children stood on the side of the road begging for the basic necessities. with no clean drinking water in sight, these people tapped into app underground pipe just so they could filament up containers. at least we have something. under the awning of a maternity clinic, this family created a

makeshift home out of tarps, umbrellas, and wood. they told us their real home was swept away, norberto was butchering a big a friend gave him, the first real meal since the typhoon. >> have you seen any food aid, any government assistance at all? >> no. all i've seen is soldiers, he told us. i haven't seen any food relief here. soldiers have descended into the downtown area after reports of looting. a tacloban airport, thousands of residents have been evacuate birthday u the line for those still waiting to get out stretched for miles. >> that's the goal of our family is to live so that we can start a new life there. >> reporter: the city administrator here estimates that 90% of the city was affected by this too footnote,

but he says just 20% of people have received aid. charlie, norah? >> this morning president obama's approval rating is at an all-time low. the latest casualty of the health care rollout, a new quinnipiac university poll finds only 39% of voters back the president. 54% give him a thumbs down. and the white house is also facing new criticism from a political ally, former president bill clinton as officials prepare to begin answering questions from the white house. major garrett is at the white house. good morning. >> good morning, charlie and norah. clinton's explanation about what the white house should do now to help the individuals whose insurance policies were canceled but can't pay for the ones under the obama care, it was definitely too early. >> the big lesson is that we're

better off with this law than without it. >> music to president obama's ears. then this sour note on the biggest headache the white house faces. consumers who lost their old individual insurance policies and cannot afford more expensive ones under obama care. >> i personally believe've if it takes a change from the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they've got. >> reporter: president obama ordered advisers last week to come up with a solution, but the white house hasn't found one yet. top advisers say they have to produce a fix before the house votes friday sto allow everyone to keep their existing insurance policies through 2014. >> that would cause more problems and create more problems and do more harm than any good it would do.

>> nervous house democrats may bolt. the president's top advisers concede time is running out. >> i don't have a time line for it except the president asked for something and when he asks for something, people tend to work on it pretty quickly. >> another potential concern, raised by lawrence fink of blackrock. a management asset firm. how will obama care affect consumer spending and the overall economy. >> health care presents 18% of our economy. if people are frightened of health care, what does it do to consumer behavior. >> as early as today. officials also adamantly deny the "washington post" saying retooled federal health care website won't be operational by month's end. they say it will be working as promised but, of course, the nation has heard that once before. charlie and norah? >> major, thank you. for the first time in a decade

the guidelines to lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes. two leading organizations issued the recommendations which could lead in a big change to number of americans who use fat and drugs to lower cholesterol. dr. holly phillips is with us this morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what are these recommendations? >> it really represents a paradigm shift. the old recommendations focuseds almost specifically on ldl numbers. the new focus is to step away from the numbers and think about cholesterol with four big questions. number one, have you had a heart attack or stroke before, is your ldo over 90, number three do you have diabetes and are you over the age of 40 and number 4, is your ten-year risk of having a heart attack or stroke greater than 10%. if any of the answers are yes, based on the guidelines, you should be on a statin. >> why does it say it means

guide lions mean twice the americans will be taking the statins. what are the sidelines? >> that's what's making guidelines controversial. it will include greater number of people in the statin pool, however, statins do have sight effects. some of the most common are joint papers, muscle pans, live problems. there are two schools of thought. there are doctors who think everyone should be on a statin, it should be in the water. other doctors are much more skeptical of it. putting double the number of patients in the pool is creating some controversy. >> thank you. >> thank you, dr. holly phillips. it's time to show you headlines from around the globe. the "washington post" says a merger is set. the combined company will need to make room for more low cost competitors but could end direct flights to some small airports it's official. norm times says new york's one

it looks bad and it is. we decide to take the journey with raman as he quests to discover the fate of his wife and children. as each mile passes the destruction worsens. finally after four hours we reach the eye of this storm, ramra ramen's home. the stench on the street is overwhelming. then as we fight through this hello, ramon spot as friend. >> this confusion -- >> whoa. >> and then joy. >> they're okay. they're okay. >> they're still a few miles through this broken city before he can be certain. then on foot as night falls, he spots his house. >> that is my house.

around the world are seeing the impact of what's being called the pope francis effect. st. peter's square more packed than ever for the pope's weekly appearance. there are many people in the pews. >> they just voted in its next president. outgoing president cardinal dolan and the incoming president, good morning to both of you. >> good morning, charlie and norah. >> good morning, norah, good morning, charlie. >> good morning, new york. i'll be back with you tomorrow. >> wi welcome you back. >> and we're blessed to have you with us. cardinal dough large let me start with you. do you think we have this frarn sis effect? do you think the church is changing because of pope francis? >> you bet there's aen from sis effect, norah. i see it all the times.

i can't walk down the streets of our beloved new york without people saying, hey, thanks for pope francis. you guys did a good job. we love him. and i hear from our parish priests from interest front line. they tell me the crowds in sunday mass are up, confession lines are longer and teen collections are going up. now, that is good news. so bring it on. >> in what order? >> bishop kurtz, it's great to see you. we've talked with cardinal dolan before and congratulations on this challenge that has been bestudied on you. >> thanks, charlie. thank you. >> tell me what the pope is saying when he says i want you to warm hearts and heal wounds and how do you carry that as a mandate from him? >> great question, charlie. basically, charlie, what the

holy father is saying is see the person first and accompany that person. the way we warm hearts and heal woulds is first by acknowledging the person in front of us. and i think all the photographs and videos and youtube and all the different ways in which people are seeing the pope is that he's not just saying it. he is accompanying people. and people really are, let's say, taken by they because they're acknowledge and want to belong. there's a place for everyone it's great message of the new evangelizati evangelization. i'm thrilled. >> cardinal dolan, i want to ask you about something the pope has done recently. he recently sent out a survey, a questionnaire to the 1 billion catholics around the world asked for your opinion on the host of interest including same sex, contracepti contraception, divorce.

why ask about these issues. i mean isn't the church clear about this? >> you're right, norah. what he's asking is how can we present it better? how can we reach out with love and compassion with those who fine it difficult to live up to church teaching. this is all in preparation of what we call the sined. now, pope francis is shrewd. he said the people who know about the people who know about marriages best are, guess who, husbands and wives, mothers and faers. so he said to them to ask them how they can be more compelling in its beautiful liberating teaching about married life and family. it's good to ask them how we can best reach those who are having

trouble accepting the timeless teaching of the faith. he's a shrewd teacher himself and i'm glad he's done this. >> do you think god sent this pope because he's concerned about the church. >> i'm sorry. >> i said do you think your god sent this pope because he was concerned about his church? >> i would think so. you bet. god is always concerned about the church and the people of israel. i'd like to say every pope, lord knows the ones i can remember with love and gratitude, paul vi, john paul ii, benedict xvith. all of them are gifts. all of them are signs of god through the church. yep, that's how i look at pope francis. >> let me ask you. the pope says he'd like to create a spot for a woman in the church. that said, he could appoint a female cardinal. what would that be like to have

a women in the mix? how would that happen? >> did she call you cardinal kurtz? >> norah, have you spoken to the holy father? >> she has her sources. >> i'm catholic. >> norah, the holy father has certainly made it clear that we need to expand our gratitude for and our awareness of the great gifts of women within the church. now, how that's going play out, we're still at the very early stages of it, but certainly there's going to be -- i can't help but believe there's going to be a presence. i don't think there's been any structural changes mentioned now, but i think our holy father is in tent and god bless us because as you remember -- maybe you don't recall that about 20 years ago, maybe a little longer, john paul ii had a very

beautiful letter on the dignity of women and that's what we need to practice. that's what pope francis needs to do. >> all right. great to see both of you. thanks for joining us. >> see you soon, i hope. and should trainers at seaworld be compared to pro athletes? we'll look at the courtphile fight of the whale show and humans. that's next on "cbs this morning."

when they're just onstage. >> reporter: it's essential to the product offered by seaworld and is indeed the reason why trainers and audiences have been drawn to seaworld for nearly 50 years. trainering still get close enough to feed and train the animals but do not get in the water. the government argued killer whale behavior is simply too unpredictable. in 2006 at the san diego seaworld ken peters was repeatedly dragged to the bottom of the pool until he swam to safety. and another was attacked. government lawyers wrote in their brief that 40-plus years' history at the seaworld parking wrote of occasion avocation that the wails have not responded as their trainers had expected. seaworld at 20 million visitors last year.

the republican parties is in search of a winner. joe scarborough has some recommendations. in 1984 hi was the first in his florida district to be elected in 120 years. >> look at joe scarborough. where did you get that hair. his new book is called "the right path from ike to reagan:how republicans can master politics once again." great to have you at the table. >> thank you. >> you describe yourself in book as a proudly defind republican. the way forward begins with a look back. what should we be looking back for? >> well, i would personally like republicans to look back when we won elections. we lost in the last six when it comes to a popular voechlt there's a reason why.

people like reagan, nixon, the watergate thing and ike figured out. they were pragmatic. they were conservative i'd l ideologically but also pragmatic. >> isn't it true when a party is in a bad shape, it's a candidate. somebody comes along as clinton did, reagan did. it's always a candidate that change as party. >> you're exactly right. i'm glad you brought up clinton because people ask -- i mean has any party ever gone so far to stray as the way the republican party has? yes. democrats have, as you remember. they got clobbered every four years nchl the '80s and early '90s. it took them routing for four years before they said, we're going to get a southerner who's a southern baptist who's conservative and nominate him. >> you know that reagan wrote

conservatism works best when there's a moderate. who's out there? >> obviously a lot of people are going to be looking aet chris christie. what's interesting is chris christie won the hispanic vote, he won women's vote even though he is pro-choice. >> he had a weak opponent. >> he had a weak opponent, but that didn't just happen by chance. a there are a lot of democrats who would have liked to have been -- >> they say the turnout wasn't great. >> whatever. come on. you know why? a lot of depressed democrats -- there is no spinning this. chris christie did a great job. again, the reason why is because chris christie figured out how to blend conservatism with pragmatism and he appealed to everyone. ronald reagan won 49 states because he had the ted cruz is

of the party and colin powells. >> you say they're under the same tent. i've talked to republicans who say let's have the fight. they've had a fight where business interestis went out. the business interests won. they're using that to say this can be a model for the national election. is it going to be that or is it going to be a fight as part of the republican party? >> it depends. does the republican party want to win or lose? there's a reason why nick saban keeps winning national championships because he obsessors on one thing, winning national championships. >> and then along coming florida state. >> yeah. and then along comes florida state and we beat them too, even though i'm from southern florida. you change america when you obsessor about changing america. we can't change america if we're having ideological fights.

>> it's inevitable when you've got ted cruz and rick perry out of the same state. >> i'm not too considered about rick perry's footprint in the future. >> are you about ted cruz? he had a baptism by fire. he learned an awful lot. he learned what ronald reagan and ike knew. you can only push them so far. >> what about the democrats? is it inevitable hillary will be the nominee? >> i don't think it is. >> everybody was saying it's going to be inevitable and then david talked to "the new york times" and they started saying, i kind of agree with what they said. don't think it's fait accompli. >> which raises the question, does it have to be a woman and if so, what about elizabeth

then i talk about how goliath who seems like this giant, this formidable warrior, there's all of this speculation he may be suffering from a pled cal disorder called mackerel megly, which means he has very limited eyesight. so we have a shepherd boy filled with the spirit of the lord up against a giant who can't see. >> who would you bet onsome. >> that starts me rolling on do we have an inadequate understanding of what an advantage really is? do we mistake advantages for dysadvantages and the other way around. >> and you give examples of both. >> yes. >> starting with class size. i love the exam prime minister you gave about class size. many think if you have a smaller class size, it's better for the student and teacher and you're saying not so fast. >> it's a symptom of a way i think we misunder what can be

bought with resources. if your class is really large and you make it smaller, your child is absolutely bet off. then there's a period that between 25 and 20 killeds in a class doesn't make that much different. but when your class gets too small. it suggests students may be worse off. why? they learn from other students in the class. >> you say teachers have to change their teaching style chrk they do not do. >> which they don't always do. it's a remiernld. it's about taking a step back and looking at what makes more sense for kids and others. >> you know, our history is replete with people who are considered underdogs, who go on to accomplish great things. one chapter in your book is about people with dyslexia and in particular the coo or goldman sachs, gary kohn. he was just here.

>> you include a team around you. learn to talk your way out of a tight slot. >> the downside is many people feel like something the wrong and they're not as smart as other kids and they have a more difficult time learning and they have to -- >> i'm talking an small minority of dyslexics, but i still thing it's important to understand. >> you've written great books. they're all great reads. they're like, work i had no idea. they've explained so much. you've sort of cherry-picked science in order to pick that narrative. >> yeah. >> how you do address that? >> in this book there are two areas where i rely heavily on it.
