7:08 am
so many injuries it was hard to know who to treat first. thailand's prime minister said the city had seen minor explosions in the past but nothing on this scale. this time they aim to take the lives of innocent people, he said, to destroy our tourism and our economy. the thai government has its share of internal enemies but at this point, nobody is ruling out international terror groups either. >> adding to fears after that explosion at the canal this morning, police found two more explosive devices following the deadly blast last night which bomb disposal teams were able to diffuse. >> the trigana flight went down monday. the victims will be moved to the capitol city for identification. the search crews recovered the plane's black boxes in good

7:10 am
protests from his home state at the iowa state fair. >> i'm not intimidated by you sir or anyone else out there. >> scott walker dodged questions from reporters on whether he like trump would end the extension of citizenship to any child born in america. >> i talked about how going forward i believed we should change the rules and the law but in terms of deporting the best thing we can do is enforce the law. >> also former hewlitt packard ceo backed it. >> we keep talking about this and we never get it done. >> jeb bush was in south carolina where he took issue with trump's plan to build a wall along the southern u.s. border paid for by the mexican government. >> i appreciate the fact that mr. trump now has a plan. if that's what it's called but i think that the better approach is to deal with the 11 million people here illegally in a way that is realistic.
7:11 am
>> ohio governor john kasich told cbs he supports a path to obtain legal status. >> i don't favor citizenship because you don't jump the line to go to a taylor swift concert. you just don't do it. >> but opposes any effort to deport undocumented imgranmigra living here now. >> the idea that we would go out and hunt people down, it's not doable and i don't think it's right. i don't think it's humane. >> kasich came to fill out the paperwork and write a check to qualify for the presidential ballot joining bush and rubio. today hillary clinton and bernie sanders will be in las vegas and ben carson will make campaign stops in arizona and colorado. >> thanks, major. more than 300 messages from hillary clinton's private e-mail server might contain classified information according to

7:13 am
that's up from the 114,000 that they first saw. the irs believes that the thieves targeted it's website to get detailed information on the victims to help them claim fraudulent tax returns last year. the irs said that it's going to be mailing letters in the next few days to about 220,000 taxpayers that were affected. it's going to be offering free credit monitoring along with the option for victims to enroll in a program where they're given a secure pen they must use to file their taxes the next year. when thi breach was originally announced back in may officials thought it was part of a sophisticated criminal operation that was coming out of russia. gail. >> thank you, jan. a little pink pill to help women's libidos could become a big reality today. a decision to improve the drug is expected in the next few hours. but controversy surrounds it.
7:14 am
she joins us at the table this morning. so the decision we're expecting before noon today, what do you think it's going to be and why is it so controversial. >> this drug was turned down in 2010 and in 2013 but in june of this year an advisory panel recommended it be approved with caveats. 88% of the time the fda will follow the panel's recommendation. it is likely to be approved. it will be a drug labeled for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disease disease disorder. >> you take it every day. you don't take it before sex. it seems to be about addressing a mental state. >> it was studied as an antidepressant but they found an increase in sex drive. it works in the brain and changes the levels and you take
7:15 am
it every day and it takes a couple of weeks to reach peak effect. that's very different than viagra. you take it at the time of intercourse and the effects are very rapidly. >> why is it controversial? >> it's a fascinating issue and there's arguments for both sides. so critics argue that it has modest ethicacy. that the side effect is risky. low blood pressure, sleepiness, dizziness, especially when used with alcohol and other drugs and maybe we're throwing a drug at a problem that doesn't need to be treated medically and there maybe a risk of off label use. women are suffering and we need to offer them something and there's a lot of drugs out on the market that have similar side effects but we leave that risk-benefit analysis to the discretion of the physician and the patient to make that decision. >> but did anything change between examination in 2010,
7:16 am
2013, and what's expected today? >> the pharmaceutical company did provide more safety data and some other research to the fda. so there was more information this time around. >> well, we'll be watching it closely. doctor, thank you. and tomorrow only on cbs this morning, cindy whitehead the ceo of sprout pharmaceuticals, maker of the little pink pill will be here tomorrow. >> concert goers in missouri got a big scare when the dance floor suddenly collapsed during a show. ♪ >> we are getting our first look this morning at this video that showed what happened. dozens of people were jumping to the music saturday when it dropped. no major injuries were reported. >> hard to believe nobody was hurt. two female soldiers will make history this week when they become the first women to graduate from the army's ranger school. they made it through a two month

training program. the armed services are under orders to open up all combat jobs to women by the end of this year. david martin is at the pentagon with this trail blazing achievement. good morning. >> good morning, these two women are part of a military elite which, until now, has consisted only of men. we don't know their names yet but they are expected to appear before the media on thursday ahead of their graduation on friday. 19 women started the army ranger course. 62 days of nearly constant physical and mental stress on little food and less sleep. the two women who became the first ever to complete it are both westpoint graduates but the army has not yet released their names in part to protect them from harassment by die hards that cannot stomach the idea of females wearing the coveted ranger tab. along with 94 men they made it
7:18 am
through a week of physical testing at fort benning georgia and then mountain training in north georgia and swamp training in florida. men and women were all held to the same standards and it's hard to tell them apart in the scenes the army allowed cameras to record. >> one of the key things that the students learn is that that limit they believe exists probably doesn't and they're capable of doing much more under very difficult circumstances. >> at the graduation ceremony on friday the men and women will each be awarded the ranger tab to wear on their uniform but unlike the men, the women will not be allowed to serve in the elite ranger unit. accepting women into ranger school was part of the army's experiment to determine if they could with stand the grinding life of the infantry. carrying heavy packs and operating in harsh terrain day after day. >> for those women who are able to complete the course it will probably help them in some ways in their careers. >> the fact that two women have now completed the course does
7:19 am

>> are people putting too much pressure on their children at these young ages to become star athletes in the future? >> absolutely. i think a few things that are driving the trend. i think parents want the best for their children. i think insist coming out of love for your child but it's misguided. the idea that childhood should be spent working and not experimenting in multiple sports is not in the best interest of the child. parents are looking to get scholarships or a leg up on the competitive admissions process in college. but sports is not the way. if you look at the ncaa website, only about 5% of high school athletes will play college sports. and only about 2% will get a scholarship. so are you willing to gamble your childhood with those slim numbers? >> but there is this question, though. you look at whoever is best in sports, whether it's soccer or tennis or golf, if they start very early and find out they were very good and then
