>> investigators are looking into youth who traveled or tried to travel to syria. the suspects were arrested sunday in minneapolis and san diego. officials say some of them may have planned to fight with islamic militants. if you watched last night's "60 minutes" you saw what the program called some of the most disturbing footage in its 47-year history. it showed the 2014 sarin gas attack in syria. it killed more than 1,400 people near damascus including hundreds of children. wee not going to show you the graphic ujs this morning but last night scott pelley said 60 minutes decided to show the agonizing pictures to the world so that people could understand the hideousness of the weapon. the rockets were types used by the syrian army and they were launched from land held by the dictatorship. u.s. intelligence believes the army used sarin in frustration after years of shelling and hunger failed to break the

rebels. with the fear of air strikes president obama forced assad to give up his chemical arsenal, but if assad was the trigger man, there is one thing odd about the timing. why would anyone launch the largest chemical weapons attack in decade ss. they're in town. >> i asked myself that a lot. i don't know. >> we don't know why. >> no. i don't think we'll ever truly know. >> we reached out to the white house for a response to the white house. they say they didn't have anything to add to the comments and actions they leased back when the sarin gas attack happened. just weeks after the attack and pressed him on the details of that day. >> what happened in your judgment judgment. >> we're not sure that anything

happened -- >> even at this date, you're not sure -- even though you've seen the videotape, even though you've seen the bodies even though your own officials have been there. >> i haven't finished. our soldiers in another area were attacked. our soldiers. they went to the hospital as casualties because of chemical weapons but in the area, the government used chemical weapons, we only had video and we only have pictures and allegation allegations. our forces police institutions, don't think this. how can you talk about what happened if you don't have evidence. we're not like the american administration. we're not -- we're a government that deals with reality. >> well, as you know secretary kerry has said there's evidence as far as rockets that fired from a region controlled by your

forces in to a region controlled by the rebels. they have evidence from satellite photographs of that. they have evidence of a message that was intercepted about chemical weapons and that soon thereafter there were other intercepted messages so secretary kerry has presented what he concludes is conclusive evidence. >> he presented confidence and his convictions. piece last night and it's just -- it's stunning to me how horrendous these weapons are and the children that died, you know and the 1,400 people and how agonizing it is for them. >> if it wasn't assad and the government, then who was it? >> exactly. >> because in the video those weren't soldiers. those were kids. >> innocent civilians killed by that. really good report. hundreds turned out to honor

the victims of the oklahoma city bombing. former president bill clinton spoke yesterday to the crowd at the oklahoma city national memorial and museum. 168 people were killed when a truck bomb blew up at the federal building. 19 children were among the victims. >> new meaning this morning to the expression everything is bigger in texas. the academy of the country music awards set a record for the most attended live award show ever. some of the biggest moments came before the show even started. jan crawford is inside the arlington stadium in texas. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. from the very beginninging it was clear this was not your typical awards show. kicking off the walk down the red carpet the best known cheerleaders in the world. not far behind, dallas cowboy owners jerry jones promising a

wó the fda begins hearings on the safety of homeopathic medicine. they looking whether to regulate the natural remedies the way it does over-the-counter drugs. our dr. holly phillips is with us this morning. good morning, holly. >> good morning, norah. >> why are they doing this? >> it's primarily focused on home oh pathic remedies that are sold over the counter at health food stores or drugstores. what makes them different from

over-the-counter medicines is they don't have to prove they're safe or effective before they hit the market. i're allowed to go on the store shelves without the fda assessing that, so you know unlike -- it's similar to the way fda regulates supplements where they can step in but they tend only to do that after there have been safety concerns or adverse reactions reported. >> and why do you say they're dangerous? >> well, there are a number of concerns. one has to do with dosing. people might not take the appropriate dose. there can be interactions with other over-the-counter or prescription medications but the biggest issue is unknown side effects. for instance in 2009 a medicine that sold as a homeopathic medicine called zicam, some formulations were pulled from the shelves after people had reported loss of their sense of smell. in some cases permanently. so it's not that all of the medications are dangerous. the issue is we don't know what's dangerous and what's not because we don't have the date.

>> some call it pseudo science. i mean is there some evidence that some of the remedies do work though? >> sure. well you know home pathieuopathy has been around for years and years. it's only one small part of complementary medicine. i think what we're really going to see is changes with labeling. the products are going to have to show that they do what they say. >> and what do you tell patients who want to take them? >> i know my patients well enough to know if they want to take them, they will. i tell them to be honest with me so they don't have any concerns and catch any complicationings if they come up right away. >> more information is better right? >> absolutely. for all of us. >> thank you very much. ben affleck has fought for.

information. >> hollywood people do that all the time. you know, they realize the power and influence of their participation in something and they use it to leverage a particular type of coverage. >> reporter: in an episode that aired he learned about a regulation lugsary. >> this is exciting. i'm proud of it. but he apparently asked pbs to withhold information about a slave in his ancestry. it created an ethical dilemma for pbs. last year he e-mailed sony. he's a megastar, what do we do. >> it is tricky. it may get out you made a change and it comes down to editorial integrity. >> he said once we open the door for censorship we lose control of the brand. pbs says they looked at ten

hours of footage and made an independent judgment. they chose to highlight other ancestors who had more interesting stories. he reported that ken burns and anderson cooper both had slave-owning ancestors on the show. >> it's shameful. >> affleck has yet to respond and there's no indication whether the leaks will hurt the reputation of the actor or pbs. >> it doesn't make puerto rico bs which has an enormous amount of respect, a huge news brand, it doesn't make them load gook. >> for "cbs this morning," carter evans. >> anderson handled it the right way. >> i'm not going to judge ben affleck because of something that's happened in his history. he's done so much work for charity.

ones ones that you may not have heard of before from africa egypt, and at the same time bringing together women you do know to help shine their spotlight on the ones you don't know. so it's a wonderful collection of women to admire, to be inspired by to be awed by very often. >> was telling norah before you came out here, you know she's doing something about india. >> she sure is. women like yourself norah. >> exactly. and you asked me to do something, but it was about women looking for their children. >> yes. >> in syria. >> in syria who might have joined isis. it is what this conference does more than anyone i know. it showcasts really people doing people doing heroic things without the fanfare of media attention. >> exactly. we have one woman. she's around it. she's around people. so brave. she risks her life every day.

creativity is found in dire circumstances, i think, stimulate a lot of creativity. so it's not you know surprising that hip-hop, you know grew out of all of this turmoil. if there aren't a lot of music programs and class tall programs that teach music, they figure out a way to express themselves musically. for me if it wasn't for the hip-hop culture, i wouldn't be doing what i'm doing. >> congratulations on all your success, on tv and music. everything. it's so great. >> thank you. >> you can see tonight's episode of "ncis:los angeles" tonight on cbs. charlie goes back to one of the most prestigious institutions. that's next on "cbs this mornin
