newest battle against the isis is the united nation. world leaders are. going together to new york for its official opening. >> the u.s. is eechl asking iran, a long-time enemy, to get involved. that country face a threat from the isis advance. margaret brennan is at the state department where secretary john kerry is already reaching out to iran. good morning. >> good morning. it's not clear yet what tehran is willing to do. secretary kerry discussed that with iran's top diplomat in a more than hour-long conversation saturday afternoon and they will meet again later in new york. he met with iranian former minister and brought up the threat posed by their shared enemy isis which has seized territories across neighboring syria and iraq.

iran has military advisers in those countries and the u.s. wants help. >> the fact is there's a role for every country in the world to play including iran. >> the administration insists it will not coordinate military operations or intelligence sharing with iran. doing so would anger two countries who privately said they'll help if u.s. expands air strikes from iraq into syria. the coalition now stands at more than 50 countries. saudi arabia will host training camps. jordan will share intelligence. germany is providing weapons to iraq and france is conducting air strikes. in a string of tv appearances on sunday, u.n. ambassador samantha power said some countries will join the fight in syria from the air. >> we will not do the air strike ace lobe if the president decides to do the air strikes. >> yet some u.s. allies like france are concerned that air strikes in syria may violate international law since the

assad government has not given its permission. persuading syria to comply is something iran might be able to do. at the u.n. this week president obama will press world leaders to stop the flow of funds and fighters to isis. but doing so may require persuading long-time foes like iran and russia to help. norah? >> all right, margaret. thank you. the president's plan calls for moderate and weapons training in syria. on sunday on "60 minutes" there were interviews. both men witnessed the isis threat from the beginning. >> could the rise of isis have been prevented? >> they could have been prevented if the international community worked harder together to make sure that funding of support to the original groups in syria were not allowed to get to the extent that they were. >> the international community,

the united states intervened too late. >> i think we could have done a better job in making sure that earlier on it was identified who the bad people were and action by the international community was taken not to allow that to happen. >> it turns out president obama was urged to intervene in syria much earlier. in a new book "worthy fights," former secretary leon panetta writes in a meeting in the fall of 2012, he, secretary of state hillary clinton, the director of the cia, and the chairman of the joint chiefs all urged the president to arm moderate syrians who had started the revolution against the dictators. that might have left no room for isis to grow. >> the real key is how can we develop a leadership group among the opposition that would be able to take control and my view was to have leverage to do that.

we would have to provide the weapons and the training in order for them to really be willing to work with us in that effort. >> but with virtually his entire national security team unanimous on this, that's not the decision the president made. >> i think the president's concern -- and i understand it -- was that he had a fear that if we started providing weapons, we wouldn't know where those weapons would wind up. my view was you have to begin somewhere. >> in retrospect now, was not arming the rebels at that time a mistake? >> i think that would have helped. and i think in part we paid a price for not doing that in what we see happening with isis. >> cbs news senior security contributor mike morell is in washington. he served as deputy director for leon panetta. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> if there was a concern of

weapons fall into the hands of those in syria, what risk is that the weapon this time will fall into the hands of people that are not our friends? >> charlie, i think the broader question, which gets at your question, is what can we do to make sure that as we arm and train these guys, they're as effective as they can possibly be and that we mitigate all the risks? one of the risks is the arms falling into the wrong hands. the other risk is the guys that we train and arm will kill women and children or do something else we don't want them to do and there's one answer that covers all of that and that is putting special forces, troops, with those fighters on the ground. you can help them make good decision, make sure they don't give weapons away or do things with the weapons you don't want

them to do. >> but if you do that, you're pitting american boots on the ground on the front line of bat. >> owe could use troops. yes, they would not be doing the fighting. they would be assisting. you can also use the special forces of other countries. we should think about doing that. that's what we did when we drove the soviets out of afghanistan. we were not on the ground but the pakistanis were on the o cfo ground for us. >> we've shouldered the burden and now we hear from the administration, though, when it comes to air strikes in syria, we will not do it alone. who will join us in that fight? will it be arab nations? >> it will be arab nations. a number of them have already committed. it will be some european nations and i think, norah, it's very, very important that the arab nations join us. >> who? >> we do not want to play into the isis narrative that the west, the united states,

christians are there to kill muslims, and if we can have arab states with us, the united arab emirates, other arab state, if we can have them with us, that will be very helpful to fight that narrative. >> that will be interesting to watch. thank you, mike morell, very much. the fire in california still threatens at least 21,000 homes and buildings. the king fire is one of six major fires burning in the state. it's only 7% contained. carter evans is east of placer ville. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the flames so far have burned 138 square miles in the deep and dangerous terrain in el dorado national forest and it's expected to continue through wednesday. the massive fire continues to burn more than a week after it began. rain provided temporary relief

to the more than 5,000 firefighters battling the flames, but passing clouds did little to calm fears of nervous evacuees like karen morris. you've lived in your home for 26 years. have you ever had to evacuate to a shelter before? >> no, it's the first time. and i'll have to be honest. the last walk through the house was an emotional one. >> reporter: thousands are now waiting for news from the assessment teams. so far ten homes and 22 other structures have burn. smoky skies throughout the weekend grounded planes but the department of defense is now sending two c-130s, used to fight large wildfires in the past, to help fire crews gain the upper hand. the smoke was so bad in nearby lake tahoe, it forced the cancellation of the city's iron man competition on sunday. the air quality was simply too dangerous for the events for the 2,000 athletes. >> it's like having the rug

pulled out beneath you and having no ground. >> reporter: meanwhile karen morris and others have been camping out at a red cross shelter for more than a week. what's it been like? >> it's not knowing if we're going have something to go back home to and when. >> reporter: firefighters are being flown in from as far away as florida and new york and they're among the thousands that are working to extinguish this fire. charlie? >> carter, thanks. this morning the nfl's baltimore ravens are promising a detailed response to a report. the report shows that top officials knew right away that ray rice punched his then fiancee in the face. they asked the nfl commissioner to go easy on the star player.

chip reid has more on the defense in the case. good morning. >> good morning. the latest relates that they were very concerned about protecting their star player and keeping the video under wraps. the baltimore ravens insist they didn't see this video until it was released by tmz sports, but according to espn, within hours of the assault in february the head of security deion sanders was given a copy of it. ravens owner steve bisciotti admitted to the show's james brown. >> if i had said to ray and his attorney i can't keep you on this team until i see that tape, i would have seen the tape and i

would have sent it to roger. >> but espn says the team lobbied roger goodell for leniency and also launched an all-out effort to get rice into a one-year diversion program, a move that helped him avoid a trial in which the disturbing video ou video could have been maryland public. coach john harbaugh wanted him cut right away from the team but he was overruled. he stood by the initial decision to keep rice. >> every single decision we make we work together. you get together, hash it out, i use the term scrimmaging. >> when the ravens finally terminated rice's contract earlier this month bisciotti sent text messages offering him a job with the team down the road, something they said was interpreted as a way to keep rice quiet. >> i tried to communicate to him

that we're not bailing on him as a man but that we will be there for him in his rehab tarks in his opportunity as he grows. >> the ravens said the espn report contains inaccuracies and perhaps misunderstandings. rice also claims in his appeal he'll say the nfl relied on a version of the elevator video that was edited by the mmz. john harbaugh is expected to be asked questions about the latest this afternoon. the members of the afghanistan national army were in training at joint base cape cod. they were last seen saturday. ken mcleod of our boston station wbz is in sandwich, massachusetts, with the military mystery.

ken, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the three officers you're talk about were in training at this cape cod base. at this point they don't pose any threat to the public but at this hour a number of local and federal agencies are look for them including fbi and the state department. the three are identified. they were last seen at the cape cod mall which is in hyannis which was on saturday night. they were just three of 15 afghan national army troops taking part in this training exercise at camp edwards along with 200 trainees from six other countries. an incident similar to this month. two disappeared and turned unin buffalo. as for the three officers missing here, they were all high ranking officers of the afghan army and we were told they were

thoroughly vetted by the state didn't. of course, the feds would rather find them sooner than later. charlie? >> thanks. pennsylvania police think they're closing in on the suspect who killed a trooper and injured one. vladimir duthiers is in can den sis, pennsylvania. good morning. >> good morning. the police are focused on a couple of square miles right here in rural can a den sis. >> we're pushing hard and i believe he'll be apprehended. >> they believe he's still hiding somewhere in these dense woods. on sunday authorities revealed that the 31-year-old suspect's shooting wasn't spontaneous.

>> we know he has prepared and planned extensively for months, maybe years. he planned his attack and leaving. >> some of those items include an ak-47 style. >> the police also believe frein is still heavily armed, outfitted with the same rifle he allegedly used to ambush two state troopers ten days ago. you say he planned it months or years ago. how do you know that the. >> based on the people we talked with. >> while search teams combed the woods for freak, loc s for fres are feeling the effects of the manhunt. >> i never been through something like this, become locked out of your home because of a crazy gunman. >> where did you sleep? >> i slept in my car.

right-of-way or how fast the biker was going. according to the "new york post" marshall yelled at tarlov to get out of the way but he think she didn't hear him. she's the wife of an executive at cbs. she passed away over the weekend. this woman says she's used to seeing them riding much faster but pam said pedestrians are also part of it. >> bicyclists are going fast but tourists are looking around. they're not paying any attention. >> the accident happened after the nypd created an initiative. during a two-week period officers issued 4,300 moving violations across the city.

jordan and that they are engaged in wars in syria where in that vacuum that's been created they could amass more arms, more resources. >> would that vacuum exist had we backed the moderate rebel forces in syria? >> yes. i think this notion that somehow there was this ready-made moderate syrian force that was able to defeat assad is simply not true. the notion that they were in a position suddenly to overturn, you know, not only assad but also ruthless trained jihadists is a fantasy. >> a fantasy the president said. well then panetta told scott pelley the u.s. is now paying the price for not sending weapons. we heard this before from some

of the top officials that hillary clinton and other top officials said they should arm the rebels. >> and they talked about sending more than a few weapons. the president said send a few weapons. >> so interesting to see what he said in june compared to what's happening today. >> yeah. fire crews are making improvements. containment is now at 17%. the fire burned nearly 130 square miles since it started more than a week ago. ten homes are gone. at least 21,000 homes and buildings are threatened. smoky conditions over the weekend forced a last-minute cancellation of that popular iron man race in lake taho. >> baltimore ravens officials say they'll respond in depth today or tomorrow to claims of a coverup in the ray rice domestic violence case. an espn report described a response to the incident as, quote, purposeful misdirection.

john harbaugh wanted to drop him right away but he was overruled. >> roger goodell was asked not to punish rice severely. after the game coach harbaugh said he was fine with the original decision to keep rice on the team. >> every single football decision we make we work together just like any football decision. you get together, add it out. ozzie uses the term scrimmaging. i thought it was the right decision. the way we handled it all the way through i felt was the right way to handle it. >> bill, good morning. >> good morning, charlie, norah, gayle, how are you? >> i'm well, thank you, bill. this is an extraordinary piece of reporting because as espn says they talked to more than 20 sources over the past two weeks and the essential charge

essentially was ray rice was up front from the beginning. he told the ravens coach that he hit her, he hit her hard and knocked her out, that the security knew how damaging this with from the beginning and the article suggests it was the ravens and the nfl who were engaged a misinformation and mis. how important is this? >> the theme of the story, the entire story has been a coverup and everything has been a football decision. they wanted to keep this quiet because they wanted ray rice on the team. everything about this whole story has been about football and protecting the corporation. never once has this story been about trying to do the right thing. i think that as the story meanders, people just have to keep this in mind, that what this story's about is we're here because the nfl got caught. that's the only reason why we're here. every single decision from

goodell to the ravens has been about getting caught and damage control. >> what interests me is the coach wanted to fire him immediately and was overruled. now hemay be saying something different right now but that seems to be the essence of the report. >> yeah. but even within there are certain people who question even that, whether he really did say that he wanted to fire him. so i think the theme of the story which is misdirection is quite accurate because we really don't know. in fact, we don't even know in this behavior on rice's behalf in terms of beating his wife and fiancee, they're trying to say that's like a one-time thung. we don't know if that's true. maybe this is a longer pattern. it's going to be interesting to see how this coming off in the wash. but, again, we're here because somebody got caught. >> it does seem to -- seem, bill, that the more we hear, the

more questions that it raises. >> absolutely. >> roger goodell's press conference on friday, did that help or hurt him? he's certainly not getting very good reviews. >> again, basically his job at that press conference was to say, listen, i made a mistake and let's move on. you know, i made a mistake, let's move on. the most important thing about that press conference is that what he did was give up power and a little bit of control and i know the owners probably were not that happy with hearing him say i'm going to now -- we're going to now start sharing power wchl're going to start sharing power the players, we're going to start sharing power the bihm's group and we'll goim to do it retroactively. >> all right. bill rhoden, the story continues. thank you. ahead on "cbs this morning," we're going to show you how big investors are forcing condo owners to sell their units and

move

is living longer a good thing? an article in the october issue of "atlantic" is getting a lot of attention. the article is "why i hope to die by 75." dr. ezekiel emmanuel of the university of pennsylvania writes, quote, i think this manic desperation to endlessly

extend life is misguided and potentially destructive. dr. agus joins us live from los angeles this morning. good to see you, david agus. >> good morning, gayle. >> he says 70 is not the new 50. you start losing your creativity and productivity. i felt so sad after reading this article. what do you think about this? >> he did a remarkable thing. he created discourse. what he's saying is as we get older diseases happen. he doesn't want to be remembered as being ill and undergoing treatment. he wants to be remembered for his formative years. he's not going push a button and end his life but he's not going to go through kimmo or other things after he turns 75. >> does that make sense to you?

>> no, not at all. that being said tt's his own value system and that's reasonable but i'm a believer and an optimist. i know what's in the pipeline. i know how we can prevent most diseases. at the same time i see ways to reverse diseases that are happening now. i throw out the arbitrary age of 75 because i think we can all live much longer. >> whoo dow you think he entitled it "why i hope to die at 75." >> i think, again, he wants to die at 75. we had dinner with the former leader simone perez. being productive into your 90s is very viable today if we take the right preventive methods. >> what changes can people make to extend their life and have a good age after 75. >> 1951 was the last time you

could die with cause of death on your death certificate being old age. we have to go back to that. if you start to live right and take the vaccines and preventive medicines you take during the day, avoid smoking, all of the things detailed before, it will work. we've done stories together over the last several months on ways we can potentially reverse aging. it's happened in animals. we've done stories of ways. we can increase cognitive function as we get older. i'm an optimist and there's really hope to live a much longer life with quality going forward. >> i think that's the key. living a longer life and making sure it includes a higher quality of life. >> i agree. but i agree you have to take steps today in your 20s, 30s, 40s. >> i'm working on it. i was searching for my aspirin last night. dr. agus, thank you. in florida condominium owners are furious about a state

law that undercuts their rights. that can force the remaining owners to sell. vicente arenas is in miami with this homegrown battle. vicente, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. condos are a way of life in florida, but a changing real estate market is pushing some people out. we talked to an owner in tampa who's on the verge of losing hers. stephanie spends almost every night looking for ways to save her home. >> you receive add letter saying you were going to have to leave your condo. what did you think? >> that it couldn't be quite possibly true. >> she's not in forecloser or financial distress but it could still come in. >> they're allowing the company to come in and take it from me. >> reporter: it's called a condo termination, a 2007 florida law

allows condo min numb complexes to be con verlted to rental apartments the 80% vote for the change. it was meant to help when complexes were devastated by natural disas interprets or abandoned to blithe. but since the real estate bust, so called block buyers have been buying units, giving them power to force owners to sell. that's what happened to stephanie's complex. more than 80%. they voted to convert the building and told her she had to sell for less than half the $163,000 she paid. statewide 235 complexes have been terminated since 2007. that's more than 17,000 individual condos. >> a lot of people have given up but you're still fighting. why? >> because this isn't right. >> state rep tev carl zimmerman

has a bill pending that would change a law he says is unconstitutional. >> it's one thing to make a great investment, but to literally steal their property and kick them out of their own home, that's nothing but thievery. >> reporter: the company that bought the madison oaks unit declined a request for an interview but said in an e-mail the partnership is not seeking to infringe on anyone else's legal rights but only seek a local course it has a legal contractual right to and we have suggested to owners different ways to reach reasonable solutions. >> it's been a nightmare. >> reporter: she's asking the court to stop the sale, but so far no answer. >> do you think you'll be able to keep your home? >> i don't know. i don't know. >> reporter: the earliest that could happen is next year which might be too late for stephanie. gayle?

>> well, i'm just in the middle of a promotional -- >> no, i know, but i mean musically. >> okay. i transformed myself musically -- no, no. i'm with these guys i've played with before. allison krause. we didn't talk too much about the great time i had down in nashville. so i went back to britain recently and teamed up with my friends from the early 2000s. there's great ethic and really musically intense combination of west africa, british trance-music from massive attack. so i've got a very powerful band, very humerus, very funny, like a bunch of brothers. and we started our tour and we're back in morocco in early june and just carried on through. >> but this is what you said about your music, this latest one. i can't be smug about it. i know it's wonderful. it's bleeping great says robert

plant. >> to be inspired is a wonderful thing. i did spend a time in nashville and then i made a record with patty griffin and buddy miller and i was doing covers, always doing other songs. beautiful american pieces, songs that i could have nerve written because it came from your vision of music. so to go back to the uk and actually uly create something really fresh and new is fantastic. >> what do you think about your voice, robert plant? i love what the critic said. your voice is hard to explain but impossible to forget. if you're flipping on the radio and hear an old led zeppelin song, do you stop and listen to it? >> i'm driving usually with car radio. that's a joke. i hear, who's that guy. i wonder what he had for breakfast. >> you said you haven't thought about led zeppelin in 34 years. >> well, john passed away in 18 0 1980. you have to pick up and go.

and the essence of a four-piece band is four pieces, and he and i played together since we were like 16. it was a big, big hole in all our lives. i just thought it was time to move along. >> onward. >> yeah. "turn it up" came based on a trip through the south. >> yeah. >> what did it do? >> basically i spent a lot of time over the years visiting mississippi delta. my heroes were the black singers from those days, and as a kid, they visited the uk in the mid-'60s. the most amazing thing i ever saw, the goose bumps and tears, everything i saw from this area, i wanted to visit and visit and visit. normally the momentum of my tours means i'd just pop by. but when i have time on my hands, i really started to study, try and feel what was coming out of the past. it wasn't that great, to be

honest. >> you wrote nine of the tracks on this new album? >> with the band, yeah. >> one of them -- this is what you said about love. that you feel exposed and vulnerable when you were doing this album. i want you to talk about it. lyrics to a stolen kiss. i love this. how long has it been like this. lost and found and then lost again. think that's a beautiful, beautiful sentiment. >> i'm not very good holding it down. if you want to be me, charlie, you'd better keep that out of the way. >> the wind came and i fell in love with a woman who greeted me at the sidewalk. >> she's in the green room now. no, no. i mean just like -- it's crazy. it's a funny old life. we're always on the move. we're transient people. we're moving all the time, so it's very difficult to hold it up and down, but that's a great. >> i mean it's not just the music. you were a free spirit. a big-time free spirit. >> well, i feel probably freer now than i did then to be honest because i can't remember much

anymore and my memory's starting to fade a little bit which is very convenient. >> your hair hasn't changed. is your hair a trademark for you? >> i don't wash it in case it falls out. >> i know that's not true. do you ever think about cutting it? >> yeah, mm-hmm. >> when would you do that? >> when the career is finished. >> when the tour's finished? >> when everything is finished. my kids will sell it. >> when you've sank your last song. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. it's good to be a great, you know. i meantimes have changed. so the radio that was once our ally is gone to a large degree. >> it's so great because the album you did with alison kra s krauss, that was like celebrated. >> yeah. sure. i mean in zeppelin we were the pariah of music over here. i mean critically we were slam add lot, but i team up with lison crass and what do i get? six grammys in one night.

i got somebody to help me out with it. >> robert plant, fabulous to have you here. >> thank you. >> "lullabies and ceasefulleles roars" on sale now. and p

hopefully we're able to do that with the footprint of the mothership show. and tonight or tomorrow night we'll get a chance to see if it works. >> every "ncis" story has to have what? >> humor. >> really. >> yeah. >> i don't see that right away, humor. >> i think that's the one thing that drew us all in the first place. character and humor. i think you can be a terrific writer and write great case stuff and not survive. >> right, right, right. >> i really believe it's the humor. and second would be character and third would be the case because sometimes we solve it and sometimes we don't. but that's what brought us all to the dance in the first place. >> that's what i like about it. it's not always tied up in a tidy need bow and i think, wow, i can't believe they did that. >> that's right. >> everybody wants gibbs' softer side. do you want that? >> i want whatever the writers decide.
