7:04 am
more than 70 years. president obama came here, he said, to remind the world of the painful reality of the nuclear threat. more than 70 years after an atomic bomb decimated hiroshima, president obama paid his respects to the 140,000 lives lost. 1,200 feet from the epicenter, he laid a wreath and hugged survivors. flanked by prime minister abe, they gazed at the iconic dome that are withstood an explosion worth more than 20,000 tons of tnt. >> we stand here in this city and force ourselves to imagine the moment the bomb fell. we listened to a silent cry. >> reporter: the speech was remarkable for what it did not say. there was no apology for harry truman's decision to drop the bomb. >> when you have the weapon that

7:09 am
anything quite like this. there are very, very long lines. the good news is, they are moving rather briskly. we've timed some people from the end of the line to getting through security, and they are getting through in about maybe an hour or more now. o'hare has been at the epicenter of the tsa mess, and there have been lawmakers who have called for the resignation of the tsa leadership if things were not improving. so they've added about 58 new security officers to the mix here along with bomb-sniffing k-9 units to help expedite the process. keep in mind that last year there were 77 million people who moved through o'hare. the problem is that at times recent three looks as if they've all come back at once. this is the first big test of the tsa to see if they can avoid another meltdown. gayle, you can see it's quite

7:14 am
york. i was in the state of washington. we'll play heavy as an example in california. >> reporter: those states haven't backed a republican in more than 20 years. trump's counting on his unconventional style to change that. >> it's a choice between sharing in this great energy wealth or in the poverty promise ed by hillary clinton. >> reporter: trump took aim at hillary clinton and pledged more support for the fossil fuel industry. >> a total untapped oil and gas recorded votes federal lands equal an estimate d $50 trillio. we're loaded. we didn't know it. we're loaded. >> reporter: trump's energy speech in north dakota was also politically strategic. he began the day 33 delegates shy of the 1,237 necessary to secure the nomination. but before his speech, a number of unpledged delegates in north dakota declared support for trump, helping him cross the thred.
7:15 am
anthony? >> thanks. hillary clinton is on t defensive after fallout from a critical state department report on her private e-mail server. editorials argue the continuing scandal will make it harder for clinton to win the white house. her primary opponent, bernie sanders, is now pushing to debate donald trump after clinton said no to sanders. julianna goldman looks at clinton's response to the new e-mail criticism. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. hillary clinton has said she's willing to cooperate with ongoing investigations, but she did not with the state department audit and she says neither that nor the pending fbi investigation will influence her campaign, she admit as she has before that her e-mail server was a mistake. >> my e-mail use was widely known in the government throughout the department. >> reporter: hillary clinton played defense thursday following the state department inspector general's support which concluded diplomatic security officials did not and d
7:16 am
account. >> everything i did was permitted. >> reporter: clinton previously sounded confident the state department was on board. yesterday she wasn't so clear. >> i thought it was allowed. i knew past secretaries of state used personal e-mail. >> this was bad judgment. ♪ >> reporter: the republicans' presumptive nominee, donald trump, seized on the report citing it as proof clinton isn't honest or transparent. >> it's devastating the report. you look at her history, and this is her history. >> reporter: trump also tried to capitalize on the ongoing race between clinton and bernie sanders. >> i'd love to debate bernie. he's a dream. if we can raise $10 or $15 million for charity, which would be an appropriate amount. >> reporter: senator sanders seemed delighted by the idea after being denied a debate with clinton in california. >> i think it might be one of the highest rated events in television history. >> i think it
7:17 am
be to have it in some big stadium here in california. >> reporter: clinton and sanders have not met on a debate stage since april. it's clear this time clinton isn't playing. >> i understood they said that was a joke, and i'm going to look forward to debating donald trump. >> reporter: trump's campaign insists he was just joke being a debate with sanders. whether we asked one official -- when we asked one official on scale of one to ten if tell happen with ten being it will definitely happen, they gave the idea a zero. >> thank you. >> no ambiguity there. >> not at all. federal health officials are sounding an alarm after a startling discovery. defense department researchers announced the arrival of a nightmare bacteria in the u.s. they say the supersuggest about resistant to one of our strongest antibiotics. the head of the cdc says "it is the end of the road for antibiotics unless we act urgently." let's ask our dr.
7:18 am
much to worry. good morning. >> good morning. >> david, is this our worst fears coming true? >> well, this is more of a wake-up call than an alarm call. this is a woman in pennsylvania who somehow related to the military, who had a urinary tract infection that had strange resistance to antibiotics. they sent it to the walter reed army medical center. they found that it had the dna to be resistant to one of the last-resort antibiotics. it's the last last resort antibiotic to show resistance in the united states. it had happened to china, but here it's the first case. she's going to be fine, but it mean the last piece to the puzzle is here on our homeland in the united states. we have to be aware. it's a wake-up call for all of us to question whether we need antibiotics, and also for the government to really push these new things in the pipeline to help us. >> now the word is she didn't travel, so to raises two questions -- how did she get it
7:19 am
>> you're right. we don't know how she got it. whether it came from food or she picked it up from somebody else. she clearly didn't travel over the last several months. is it contagious? well, this kind of restones bacteria is a -- resistance to bacteria is a piece of dna separate from chromosomes and can spread to other bacteria. we are worried about it. they have tested many other samples, and they haven't found it yet. so the testing will keep going, and obviously they're going to test all the family members and acquaintances she had in pennsylvania. >> all right. scary stuff. thank you very much, dr. agus. is silicon valley showing an iron fist? ahead, how a tech billionaire's fight with gawker could be a sign of online giants influencing the information that

7:34 am
from the tsa checkpoint to the end of the line. it's nearly 200 feet, but look at how well the line is moving. the wait time as of this moment, about 15 to 20 minutes. the tsa is expecting to check 82,000 people through security here in atlanta. the near record is 88,000. that was set last year at thanksgiving. they'll come close to that record. now more that new technology. here's how it works. imagine walking up to the checkpoint where you put your bags in, and instead of having to wait to get your bag through the machine and push it yourself, you put it in the bin, you put the bin on an automated conveyor belt, and it goes, it's on the way. if somebody in front of you is taking too long, maybe distracted by their child, you're on your way. you go through, you get your body scan or the metal detector, your bag is on the way. on the other end, if your bag gets flagged for further screening, it gets kicked left. there is a second conveyor belt so that your bag is sidelined. if you're good to go and your bag is fine, you pick it up, you'reyo
7:35 am
your flight. anyone who needs further screening steps to the side so as not to hold up the line. this is being used in london, amsterdam. the results, we're told, good. depending on how it goes in atlanta over the summer, they may fast track this around the country. anthony, new york and los angeles may be bigger cities, but atlanta is the world's busiest airport. more business comes through here than any other airport in the world. >> david begnaud, thanks. here's a look at the security line at another airport, o'hare in chicago. passengers are seeing delays on this start of the holiday weekend. air travel's expected to hit an all-time high this year with the tsa preparing to screen some 740 million people. that's nearly 100 million more than in 2013. cbs news travel editor peter greenberg is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> when is this going to get better? when are the tsa improvements going to kick in?

good to have you, anthony. charlie on -- charlie's on assignment. president obama is the first president to visit hiroshima, the city wiped out by the nuclear bombs in 1945. the explosion and after management killed 140,000 people. >> he laid a wreath and hugged one of the few remaining survivors and called for a future free of nuclear weapons. >> we may not be able to eliminate man's capacity to do evil, so nations and the alliances that we formed must possess the means to defend ourselves. we must have the courage to escape the logic of fear and pursue a world without them. >> reporter: the president did not apologize for president harry truman's decision to drop the bombs. this morning our eyes are on the tsa's handling of holiday crowds. we're watching airport delays closely because an estimated

flying over the long weekend. the tsa plans to add hundreds of workers, but relief may not come fast enough. chicago's o'hare airport has been a hotbed of frustration with long security lines. patience is also running thin at midway airport. many passengers had to wait more than two hours last week. atlanta's airport is experimenting with a process to speed up the process. homeland security secretary jeh johnson is here at the table. he's in charge as you know of the tsa. we welcome you. always good to have you. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> this is your flifirst time. don't be a stranger. everybody traveling this weekend is looking to hear what you have to say. i know you don't like the long lines either. >> correct. >> how are you feeling this weekend as people head to the airport? confident? worried, concerned? >> first of all, in the face of increased travel volume, we are not going to compromise aviation
8:04 am
security. we're going to keep passengers moving this weekend, but we're also going keep them safe. that is our principal responsibility. that's the principal responsibility of tsa. >> i heard one of your people say speed is not going to replace security. we all get that and appreciate that. >> yes. that's correct. >> this is not acceptable either to you, though. >> we have just in the last several weeks converted a lot of part-time to full-time. we are authorized to pay overtime to deal with the increased travel volume. i just yesterday sent to congress a request for what we refer to as reprogramming so we can convert 2,700 tsos from part-tipar parttime to full time. on average it is the case that for 90% of travelers, the wait sometime 30 minutes or less. it's clear that at the busyist airports, the hubs like chicago, l.a.x., newark, we are experiencing longer wait times.
8:05 am
we're encouraging people to join t tsapre. now we have something like 16,000 people a day. nationwide, if you're in ts tsa pre, your average wait time is around five minutes. >> our travel editor, peter greenberg, said yes, there will be more tsa. but the training time will mean that effectively things won't get better until the end of the summer. is that true? >> we're bringing people on as quickly as we can and expect them to be on board by mid-june. the more immediate need is converting people from part time to full time. i asked congress for authorization to do that yesterday. we've already begun the process. there's a lot more we can do. >> i saw you having words with peter greenberg in the green room because you disagree with his assessment that pre tsa isn't working. >> he points out an observation at one airport at 6:00 a.m. in the morning. the reality is that if are you a member of
8:06 am
is five minutes or less. that's why we're encouraging team join tsa pre-check. >> can you address the criticism? this is not unexpected. travel's going to go up. it's the summer season y. didn't the tsa anticipate this? why weren't changes made in advance of the problem? why be reactive as opposed to proactive? >> a year ago, we focused and dedicated ourselves to aviation security based on world events, based on the findings of our inspector general which really was significant. and so a year ago i told tsa to refocus on aviation security. and a year ago, i said this would lead to more wait times at airports. couple that with the fact that we've seen record numbers of air travelers, and that has led to longer unexpected wait times at some of the nation's busiest airports at certain times of the day.
8:07 am
get people in place to accommodate that -- >> as a journalist, i was trying to figure out what really is the problem. i was stunned to learn the profits that the airlines are making. that's great. we want them to make a lot of money. that's great. at the same time, they've made $3.8 billion on checked baggage fees. should they -- we consider that -- have free checked baggage, would that help with the lines? >> several senators have called on the airlines to suspend the checked baggage fee. i have asked the airlines to consider it. there are a number of things the airlines can do and are doing to assist in moving passengers through airports faster. airlines have dedicated some of their employees to the non-security aspects at checkpoints, a good thing. you talked about innovation lines, and innovation lanes in atlanta airport, we think that's a good thing. we all need invest in it. it's like the e-zpass at airports. that's not a short-term fix that's going to help
8:08 am
weekend. we encourage passengers this weekend to, first of all, pack carefully. think about prohibited items. limit the size of your carry-on to what the airlines expect. when there are prohibited items, an oversized piece of luggage, that slows things down. and plan to get to the airport around two hours early. >> and passage curse do it, too. you get -- passengers can do it, too. you get to line, didn't you know you have to take your belt off? >> we're guilty, too. you're adding 768 screeners by june. the tsa union saying we need 6,000. that's a pretty big gap. i mean, next year's budget -- >> next year's budget request, we've made a request to add thousands more to the work force. in the short term, the key is converting part-time tsos to full time. i've called on congress to do that. >> well if you don't get 6,000 people, what happens? >> i've got to continue. i think congress understands the need for more
8:09 am
believe we will have congressional support for that. congress obviously is hearing from their constituents on this. i think we've worked well with congress so far to address the immediate situation. i think that's going to continue. >> while we still have you, what's the latest that we know about the crash of egyptair? any terrorism involved? >> well, it's barely a week, and we still don't know a lot. the investigation continues. the u.s. has offered our assistance. at this point we do not rule out something nefarious. we can't rule out somethingy in fivious. i -- something nefarious. i think it is relevant that no terrorist organization has claimed credit for it. the investigation continues. we did a lot to enhance aviation security at airports in the region with flights directly to the u.s. last year after sharm el sheikh. we continue to evaluate whether more is necessary. >> secretary jeh johnson, j-e-h jed of j-a-y. when you were a little kid, were

8:33 am
one of the harvard men was a young john f. kennedy. their lives gave researchers evidence that our relationships with others keep us happy and healthy. dr. robert waldinger was part of the study that is tracking the roughly 60 surviving members. good morning. >> good morning. >> this is fascinating to me. when you all started way back when, 75 years ago, started with adult development. then you wanted to look at happiness. why? >> what we realized was that we had an amazing resource, we could look at their work lives and health, and it added up to how happy they were in their lives. we looked at the package, and we've done it over 75 years. >> you were looking at the size of their skulls, shape and size. at one point, scrotum and hanging length. i don't know what that has to do with happiness. you looked at different things to determine what makes a
8:34 am
happy. >> the things we think are important change so much over time. in the 1930s, they thought some of those things made a big difference in who you were, what your personality was like, what your happiness levels were. turns out, they don't make much of a difference. now we study different things. >> the truth is what? what leads to happiness? >> our man found that good, close relationships, predicted not just that they would stay happier but that they would stay physically healthier. and that's the amazing thing. >> this is as important or more important than, say, avoiding cigarettes, drinking too much -- >> as important. as important. the chronic stress of being lonely, of being unhappy gets into the body and breaks it down over time. >> i've heard you say people talk about leaning in to work, really we should be talking about leaning in to our relationships. by that you mean what? how do we do that? >> one way, as a zen teacher i think about the importance of
8:35 am
how we pay attention. if you think about it, giving people our full, undivided attention is probably the most valuable thing we have to offer. it's really hard to do. our attention is always being pulled away and fragmented. these electronic devices that we're so attached to, they're hijacking our attention. we can look at this in each moment and noticing whether we're giving our full attention to the important people in our lives over time can really make a difference in those relationships. >> found that looking at relationships of men with their mothers was important. but also something i found interesting was it was about siblings, as well. that's not something a lot of people looked at. >> we found having a close relationship with even one of your siblings made a big difference in your happiness level across adulthood. >> well what about the mothers? >> siblings certainly but why the mothers? >> we spent more time with the siblings than most of us think about. >> than anybody on earth. >> exactly. exac

8:37 am
we want to be happy. anthony does, too. >> we're studying the second generation, the almost 2,000 children of these men we followed for 75 years. the children are all baby-boomers. all in their 50s, 60s, 70s. we're studying their childhoods and how it predicts what their aging will be like. it turns out that if you grew up in a particularly stressful environment, your health breaks down sooner. what we'll do is figure out how that works and whether there are ways we can help people figuring with difficult childhoods. >> i'm thinking you're very happy today because you brought mrs. waldinger with you -- >> waldinger -- >> it rhymes with humdinger. how long have you been married, you kids? >> 32 years yesterday. >> that's great. >> congratulations. thank you. >> doctor, thank you very much. >> a pleasure. the biggest crowd for a single-day sporting event will gather sunday to watch the 100th
