7:11 am
hand including anti-tank weapons but the white house says it's important to keep up a united front with the europeans and they're insisting to us privately that the president will not be rushed into any decision, so what we're likely to see in today's meeting is the threat of more sanctions but still the possibility of offensive weapons down the road. jeff? >> bill thank you very much. this morning the parents of an arizona woman taken hostage by isis are hoping their daughter is still alive. it was announced the jordanian air strikes killed kayla mueller. >> good morning. she had been identified as the unidentified american female hostage held by isis. they withheld her name in an effort to secure her safety but with her identity revealed on friday the world is learning more about the selfless volunteer. >> i am in solidarity with the

7:13 am
raqqah when the building she was being held in collapsed on top of her. on sunday jordan dismissed the claim as propaganda. >> what we know is they're liars, they don't have any haven't for human life. that's why it's difficult to make any accurate assessment or conclusion regarding the fate of the american lady. >> reporter: if mueller's death is concerned, she would be the fourth american hostage killed while in isis captivity but her family and friends remain hopeful. >> it's time for this to have a happy ending and bring kayla home to her parents and family. >> mueller's parents released a statement asking her captors to contact them privately. she's isis's last known american hostage. >> thank you. in iraq america's staunchest fighters are known as the pes
7:14 am
more ga, but they're getting frustrated. good moaning. >> good morning. we traveled to mount sin. in northwestern kurdish iraq to land they recently recaptured from isis militants. the peshmerga men were fighting. they have the best track record of defeating the militants, but they're massively outgunning. the kurdish forces say they've clawed back 1,500 square miles of territory from isis since december and have done merely all of their fighting relying on small caliber weapons like these. >> we've lost more than 1,000 peshmergas, and somewhere around 5,000 have been wounded. >> reporter: the kurdish national security adviser told
7:15 am
us 70% of those deaths could have been prevented if the u.s. would give the peshmerga the hundreds of armored vehicles they want. so far they've received just 25. >> of course they all praise the peshmergas and thank us, but that is not enough. we need the equipment. let's not forget. this is the war. the enemy doesn't wait. they're not waiting for us or for our allies to provide us with the right equipment. >> the armored cars would even offer some protection against the biggest killer of the kurdish fighters. car and roadside bombs. in battle last month, isis attacked them with 14 car bombs in just one day. what do you say to the families of those men who have died whose deaths were preventible? >> these are our heros and we need to protect the heroes, and i think they're the heroes of the free world, and it's the responsibility of the international community to
7:16 am
protect them. >> the reason the u.s. is reluctant to equip the peshmerga is the kurdish people want independence and helping them angers both the iraqi government as well as the authorities in turkey where there's a large kurdish operation, but that leaves them desperately underequipped. charlie. >> thanks. north carolina flags are flying at half-staff this morning for hall of fame coach dean smith. he died at the age of 83. in 36 years at the university of north carolina he won two championships and 879 games. he recruited the school's first black scholarship athlete. president obama gave him the presidential medal of freedom in 2013. in statement he said coach smith showed us something that i've seen again and again on the court, that basketball can tell us more about who you are than a jumpshot alone ever could.

yeah. nearly all cars are vulnerable to hacking. >> it comes from massachusetts democratic senator ed markey. he joins us this morning from washington. senator, always good to see you, sir. first of all, tell me a little bit about this report. why did you put it together and what were the most disturbing findings? >> well, there are a number of big issues that are being created as we move from the era of the internal combustion engine to an era where they're driving around in computers. that's what the automobile is and it raises questions of safety, it raises questions of privacy because no longer do you need a crowbar in order to break into a car. now you can do it with an can affect the breaking system, you can affect the acceleration, you can affect any part of that vehicle and at the same time you have privacy
7:38 am
information because information is gathering about you at all times, where you park where you go, and it's being kept by the automotive industry without any real standards that are in place today. >> senator markey, charlie rose here. so what do you do then? what's been the response on the part of the auto companies, and what can they do? >> well my study indicated that many in the automotive industry don't even understand fully what the implications are of moving to this new computer based era. and i think that's frightening and it's why i think that the highway safety agency the federal trade commission they have to begin to put new rules for the road in place for visa vehicles in order to protect ordinary families again, their safety and their privacy. right now there aren't any clear guidelines that are on the books. >> even that's scary hearing that. people listening to you right
7:39 am
now, senator, what if anything condition k they do and why did you think this was an issue in the first place? >> well i've been tracking privacy issues and auto safety-related issues my entire career and now it's merged. that should be a concern to everyone who is driving a car in america today because their car can be hacked in order to control the vehicle. >> what can i do? what can i do? >> right now you can, one rks i think, begin to complain to the government that they haven't given you the protections you need in order to say to the auto motive industry stop storing my information, where i park where i drive, where i go. and at the same time we need to say to the federal government put up safety ratings on the vehicle as people are purchasing it. in is same kwa you know how many
7:40 am
airbags you have how easy it is to withstand a crash, we need a rating isn't for security for that safety of that vehicle for it being hacked from an outsider that could cause an accident cause real danger. >> all right. senator markey, we have to leave it there. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me. next we're in colorado with the unexpected financial boom for legal marijuana. how one pot shop is bringing a run down strip malbec to life. you're watching "cbs this morning."
