good morning. it's july 26th, 2014. welcome to "cbs this morning saturday." a 12-hour cease-fire ticks away in the middle east. can a permanent deal be negotiated in time? and russia is about to escalate the war in ukraine. triple digit heat brings severe storm fronts this weekend and as cities make their push for the 2024 games we look back at the last olympics that made any money. first, we begin this morning with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. >> less than an hour away from a temporary cease-fire explosions in gaza city.

>> israel and hamas agree to a 12-hour pause. >> the military said it would hold fire but would continue searching for tunnels. a push for a cease-fire is just an illusion. both sides are not prepared to stop this war. dramatic moment as a s.w.a.t. team storm a canadian airliner that appeared there was a bomb threat. >> the kids were scared. i was scared. >> two men carjacked suvs and plowed into a group of people killing three children. >> we're asking for the public's help as there were three males seen fleeing the scene. >> this wall of dust was almost 3,000 feet tall. >> the annual lumberjack championship is being held this weekend. >> lumberjack and lumberjill compete in log rolling to climbing to sawing. >> quite a storm of controversy while talking about an nfl

player. >> all that. >> let's make sure we don't do anything to provoke wrong actions. >> and all that matters. >> after spending more than a decade in prison this dallas man is officially declared innocent. >> my father god got me through this. that's all i got to say. >> on "cbs this morning saturday." >> this is another week where it looks like the world is just falling apart. two wars planes falling out of the sky, weird al yankovic has the number one record. that's as sign of the apocalypse. welcome to the weekend. we also have a great lineup of guests for you this morning including chef alex garcia. cuban born and a leader in the latin cooking movement. >> they've been mainstays on the alternative rock circuit for 20

years. the eels perform. palestinian civilians are caught in the shelling and crossfire. this morning they are observing a cease-fire. the 12-hour humanitarian effort allowing palestinians to stock up on supplies and to survey the devastation of nearly three weeks of fighting but time is running out as the two sides were not able to agree on a seven-day truce. and the death toll is rising. some 900 palestinians and 40 israelis have been killed in the fighting with more than a dozen bodies being discovered during the cease-fire. >> the battle in gaza continues to spill over into the west bank. more protests and clashes there last night and this morning. a palestinian teenager was reportedly killed during the violence. secretary of state john kerry is still trying to broker that week-long truce as a step toward a broader deal. >> we still have terminology and

context and framework to work through but we are confident we have a fundamental framework that can and will work. >> kerry is meeting with other foreign ministers this morning to continue discussing a longer cease-fire. this morning's cease-fire is also allowing some palestinians to evacuate to safer areas. we have the latest now from gaza city. barry, good morning. >> reporter: the cease-fire took effect early this morning but the fighting continued until almost the last possible moment. the gaza skyline at dawn was outlined in the blast of incoming artillery and then in the first hours of quiet, a grim necessity to find bodies in the rubble from days of shelling. rescuers hurried from building to building working against the clock. others went to their neighborhoods and pored through debris trying to find what was left in their homes.

some say a few belongings. some found nothing. and all over the remnants of the fighting. across the gaza strip, a brief and welcome normal day. at gaza's main market so many people that it was standing room only. farmers from outside the city brought their produce trying to make what money they could when this brief recess from war. it looked like a normal saturday but remember that for more than two weeks this has been a city under attack. people hiding inside houses keeping their children safe. a city that felt vacant. and where people had been afraid to drive, there were traffic jams. even the donkey carts had a hard time getting through. lines formed quickly at the banks. people need money for supplies and need supplies for what they know will be more days of war ahead. one man expressed it for all. we hope the cease-fire will

continue, he said and not go back to the killing and the destruction. god willing, he added, we'll have a better situation. the grim toll of death continues in a strike before the cease-fire, one family was hit. 19 members of the family 10 of them children were wiped out. as they go through rubble palestinians say they have recovered more than 80 bodies. anthony? >> barry peterson in gaza city. nice to see you without flak jacket and helmet today. let's get more on this. good morning. we heard in our eye opener say a push for a cease-fire was an illusion. both sides are not prepared to stop this war. do you think that's true? >> unfortunately, yes. the positions each side has adopted, it's so far apart it's hard to see even with john kerry's enormous work and sort

of remarkable optimism it's hard to see how he manages to bring them together. the demands each side are making know this is impossible. israel wants to eliminate hamas and all kinds of threat coming out of hamas. that's never going to happen. you can destroy 100 tunnels but the people who built those tunnels will build the 101st and 102nd and cycle will repeat itself. hamas will not have negotiations until israel lifts the blockade. hamas has to know that's not going to happen. it's like each side painted itself into a corner of the room but opposite corners. now the challenge for john kerry and everyone else who is trying to bring an end to this violence is to bring them inches forward towards each other. and that's going to be difficult. too much blood has been shed and too recently the wounds of very

fresh. the emotions are very high. >> you mentioned inches which is almost what this 12-hour cease-fire feels like. it's supposed to be enacted this morning. do you think hamas will actually stop firing? >> so far, knock on wood i just checked twitter verse before i came in and it seems to be holding. hamas needs to regroup a little bit. this has been a terrible pounding they've taken over nearly three weeks. and israel is concerned they may regroup too much. right now it would appear as barry reported there, the palestinians who live in gaza are counting the costs a little bit and digging bodies out of the rubble. we'll see. it's a little hard to predict hamas. they're not a rationale actor, if you like not always. >> if there's a middle man here and it's hard for the u.s. to be a middle man sometimes in this obviously. if there's a middle man and in the past egypt would play that

role but it's harder now for them. if not egypt, who? >> turkey and qatar are speaking for hamas at the peace negotiations. both sides have some connections and they're both fairly credible. they have in the past particularly qatar in the past tried to broker peace deals all over the middle east. the difficulty is to know whether a deal is struck and whether hamas, a, will accept all of it because it doesn't have a seat at the table that gives it a sense of a little bit of plausible deniableilitydeniability. will they live by it? history says they won't. >> interesting big picture perspective. thank you so much. to another major trouble spot in ukraine and new claims that russia is planning to escalate the conflict there. the u.s. and ukraine say russia is now bombarding ukrainian forces from russian soil and they are preparing to shift more heavy weapons including tanks across the border. let's get more from mark albert

in our washington bureau. mark, good morning. >> good morning. in addition to the new weapons, a key u.s. ambassador says russia is staging more troops on the ukrainian border after pulling thousands back just two months ago. at a security forum in colorado on friday u.s. ambassador to nato revealed an apparent russian build up. >> now up again over 15,000 russian troops amassed along the border with ukraine. >> the large amounts of training funding and support russia has given the rebels. >> this is civil war by proxy if you will. the instability generated largely by moscow and by putin. >> reporter: it may be about to intensify. the pentagon said friday it believes transfer of heavy caliber utility systems from russia to rebels is eminent. the u.s. also says russian

forces are now firing at ukraine's military from inside russia which underlined white house calls for new punishment. press secretary josh earnest. >> it certainly is the position of the united states that additional costs should be imposed on russia and putin for their actions in ukraine. >> reporter: the state department thinks sanctions are having an impact on the economy. >> president putin can become isolated from the economic system if he wants to continue the escalation or he can do the opposite. >> in a direct response, russian russian's foreign ministry called her out by name saying she chopped a big basket of anti-russia cliches as part of a smear campaign against russia and that washington shares the responsibility for the bloodshed in full. anthony? >> mark albert in washington. thanks. for more on what's happening in ukraine, we turn to peter baker,

"the new york times" chief white house correspondent in our washington bureau. peter, good morning. >> good morning. >> what does this latest move by putin, the firing of rockets from russia how does that change the situation here? >> we're seeing this war is turning a proxy war into an actual war. russian troops are increasingly directly involved and what that does is underscores for europe and the united states the consequences of what's happening there in hopes that malaysian airlines flight disaster would force russia to back off. that doesn't seem to be happening. >> in terms of what the united states can do to level the playing field, the obama administration has been very vocal saying they won't match firepower. what can we do to make this an even fight? >> there isn't any appetite for that. there could be other forms of helping ukraine, intelligence sharing, that sort of thing. the administration has talked about nonlethal aid like flak vests and night vision goggles and it's going to be the kind of thing where they have to

consider in the days to come whether there are additional steps they can take that might be of an escalatory nature. >> is there evidence the sanctions are working? >> they're contributing to a broader sense of instability for russia's economy that is in fact hurting russia. russia does react to sanctions but so far it hasn't changed putin's calculus. can you find something that would change his behavior without hurting european economies which are so tied into russia's? >> do you think it will take the united states and europe really pushing back for putin to change what he's doing right now? >> the problem is putin doesn't react well to outside pressure. he tends to react the opposite way. if you push him, he's going to push back. we're in the cycle now where the united states and europe apply more pressure and he sort of defies it and says i'm not going to give up just because of that. there has to be some way for him

to find a face saving way out and so far nobody has found that. >> peter baker, thank you for your time. >> thank you. the escalating conflict in ukraine adds to difficulty of investigating malaysian airlines flight 17 disaster. mark phillips reports from the crash site. >> reporter: it's the full teams of aviation crash experts and security personnel ever do arrive, it will be a relief to the handful who are already here. the dedicated but small group of dutch, australian and malaysian investigators have been on the crash site for the last few days and learned there's more work to be done to find hard evidence of the cause of this crash. they are also still making more grizzly discoveries. 100 passengers are still unaccounted for. michael from osce -- >> personal belongings passports, i.d. cards, credit cards, things like that. and the dutch have just

documented some very small human remains over there in that field there as well. >> reporter: they are finding more evidence though of the sort of blast holes through the plane that an exploding missile might make. the dutch say their full team will concentrate on this sort of specific find covering the vast crash site systemically would be too difficult and security arrangements are still uncertain. the issue is who's in charge here? any deal cut with the central government in kiev has zero value here in an area it doesn't control and as for the rebels who do control this countryside, they haven't been around this crash site for days. the war between the rebels and the central ukrainian government has been intensifying. the window for getting in here to gather evidence may be closing. for "cbs this morning saturday," i'm mark phillips in ukraine. investigators arrived today in the west african nation of

mali where a jet crashed on thursday. it's being guarded by more than 200 soldiers from a u.n. peace keeping force. all people aboard the jet were killed. many were french nationals. investigators say the crash was likely caused by bad weather. u.s. air force f-16 fighters escorted a boeing 737 back to toronto yesterday after a passenger was heard making a bomb threat. that suspect is now in custody as bob orr reports. >> reporter: a canadian man is charged with endangering public safety in a bomb scare that ended with s.w.a.t. storming a passenger plane. it looked like a commando raid. hefleyavy heavily armed canadian s.w.a.t. team hustling through the boeing 737 barking orders to the jet's passengers including sharon ramsey. >> they stormed in.

it was extremely scary. they came in front and back of the plane. and they yelled hands up heads down, hands up heads down. it was just awful. kids were scared. i was scared. >> reporter: sources say the flight from toronto was about 40 minutes into its trip to panama when a passenger allegedly made threats to a flight attendant. according to one u.s. officials he said "i have a bomb and i will blow up canada." the captain of the jet flying at 33,000 feet over west virginia notified u.s. officials of the threat and then turned back for toronto. two f-16s on patrol near toledo were redirected and shadowed the jet as it flew back into canadian airspace. flight 772 with 183 passengers and a crew of six landed safely. sources say the suspect who has a history of meantntal problems was

arrested without incident. bomb threats are common. we've heard of five threats against u.s. transit targets in the last three days. for "cbs this morning saturday," bob orr, washington. philadelphia police this morning are hunting inging for two men that fled after crashing a carjacked people into a crowd of people. three children were killed and their mother critically injured. police say the two gunmen forced their way into an suv and drove about a mile before losing control yesterday afternoon. they plowed into a group of people selling fruit to raise money for their church. the father and an aunt of the victims called for the suspects to surrender. >> whoever did it, you need to turn yourself in. >> that's my son. you took them away from me. turn yourself in. >> more than $100,000 in rewards for capture of the suspects. triple digit heat in southern california and destructive storms in the great

lakes, ohio valley and northeast this weekend. we go to our chicago station for a look. good morning. >> good morning. we have some incredible temperatures once again today around the country. take a look at some of the temperatures that we're looking at for today. the forecast highs include 102 degrees for sacramento. 107 in phoenix. 94 for salt lake city. 91 degrees in denver. kansas city 96. dallas, 100 degrees and in lexington, a high of 91 degrees. so some pretty hot areas across the country. along with that threat of severe weather. a slight threat from omaha all of the way through ohio and moderate risk of severe storms that takes in central illinois as well as central indiana and southern indiana. and the risk here is for large hail damaging winds and even a tornado or two. tomorrow it moves to the east where we have a light risk from

vermont and new hampshire all of the way down into kentucky and tennessee and a moderate risk that takes in ohio as well as parts of kentucky and even west virginia. so some rough weather is possible this weekend along with the scorching temperatures. anthony? >> ed thanks. later in the broadcast, the devastating effects that a prolonged drought is having on a major source of drinking water in the west. >> speaking of extreme weather. look at this video. in phoenix, a summer thunderstorm produced this wall of dust. it forced drivers to pull to the side of interstate 10 during the friday afternoon rush hour. it was about 50 miles wide. so bad this actually affected flights. >> amazing. time to show you some of this morning's headlines. the times of london says american special forces are trying to determine whether islamic militants in northern iraq have obtained surface to air missiles like the one that apparently brought down malaysian airlines flight 17.

the pentagon is concerned isis fighters could be tempted to target a commercial jetliner. a popular london to asia air route passes over the city of mosul in northern iraq a militant stronghold. "the los angeles times" reports congress unraveled one form of gridlock before its summer break and you'll be happy. the house backed the senate's bipartisan plan to allow consumers to unlock their cell phones when switching providers. the president is expected to sign the bill which enables users to own access to the content of their phone without the need for corporate permission. london's daily mail says organizers of comic con have a real life problem on their hands. a quarter of the women wearing costumes at events said in a recent survey they've been sexually harassed while attending the pop culture conventions. attendees of this weekend's gathering in san diego will find warnings in their welcome packets saying sexual harassment will not be tolerated.

women make up 41% of the comic con fan base. "usa today" reports russia has a beef with mcdonald's. 25 years after the golden arches first opened there, the country's consumer protection agency is taking mcdonald's to court and claims the restaurant is selling products that contain more fat and carbohydrates than is allowed. the philadelphia museum of art is getting a facelift. architects will freshen up the museum's look considering plan to put a large window to the gallery. that sweep of steps may be changed or blocked. >> to everyone that loves those steps singing the theme to "rocky" it's just an initial plan. there are ten proposals. may not happen. >> a lot of consideration has to go into that

coming up it's not just the mexican border human smugglers are moving illegal immigrants from the caribbean too. will it light up the smartphone market? we'll look at amazon's brand new fire phone. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday."

coming up a man serves 12 years in prison for a crime he did not commit but now he may soon be free. the amazing story of justice delayed. >> we'll be right back. this is "cbs this morning saturday."

good morning, everyone i'm elizabeth hur. a manhunt on right now for two carjackers who plowed into a group of people killing three children then fled the scene. investigators say the two armed suspects forced their way into an s.u.v. they crashed at germantown and west allegheny in north philadelphia. the children's mother right now is in extremely critical condition. the owner of the car and another adult were also hurt in this crash. right now, there is a $110,000 reward being offered in this case. now, the eyewitness weather forecast, let's check in with carol erickson in the weather center. >> well, liz looking at some clouds out there this morning, let me show you storm scan3 right now not just clouds, but in a couple of spots

through chester county, also picking up some of the showers. you can see them moving through. let's zoom in little bit closer, you can see them, as we find them in upper uke lands township, and also, through the northern sections of chester county. temperatures today getting to about 86 degrees. 69 degrees right now and chance of a shower or thunderstorm today. liz? >> and i'm elizabeth hur. our next update is at 7:57. we'll see you then.

a collision in san francisco sent an suv heading for a mother pushing a baby stroller. luckily she was able to pull the stroller back from the vehicle as it smashed into the handrail of a building entrance. the suv just barely missed the baby stroller by inches. the driver involved in the accident was taken to the hospital but mother and child were fortunately not hurt. >> as someone often pushing a stroller, that's terrifying. our top story this hour illegal immigration and human smuggling. it's also happening in the caribbean where haitian migrants are trying to reach the u.s. mainland through puerto rico. human smuggling cases have tripled there. >> it's right there. target small boat. >> reporter: flying over the waters west of puerto rico an

agent of customs and border protection is scanning the invisible border down below. >> every one of those red dots is something that's being picked up by radar. >> that's correct. i can pick up very small targets. as small as a coconut floating in the water. only traffic that goes through here is going to be commercial and sailing boats. anything else is fair game. >> reporter: recently he spotted this boat racing toward puerto rico. on board, two dominican smugglers and ten haitian migrants trying to enter the u.s. illegally but the coast guard stopped them arresting the smugglers and returning migrants to haiti. this scenario is playing out week after week in the waters between the dominican republic and puerto rico. the flow of haitian migrants moving through here has soared from just a dozen in 2011 to nearly 2,000 last year. >> that's new. that's something we're trying to target. >> reporter: the captain is the coast guard's chief of response

for the southeast and caribbean. >> smugglers, organized smugglers in the dominican republic offering services to haitians saying we'll put you on a boat to puerto rico or to one of the islands. a much shorter journey and we can get you to the united states that way. people are responding to that. >> reporter: their journey often ends here. it's uninhabited. just 22 square miles of desolate pristine paradise. we're halfway between and this is american soil. it's only 40 miles from the dominican coast making it an ideal dropping point for smugglers. coast guard patrols like this one search the island for fresh landing. on this flight we spotted several abandoned along the shore. smugglers can make it here in as little as two hours sometimes forcing migrants to swim to

whatever bit of america they can reach. they count on being spotted and rescued by the coast guard and then processed by border patrol and in many cases released in puerto rico. this man left haiti for the same reason many leave, to find a better life. he says that's why he paid $500 to be smuggled over in january. we were afraid he told me. the boat was rocking. everybody started screaming. do you know how to swim? >> no. >> reporter: his gamble so far as paid off. today he lives in san juan. when he stayses is up to u.s. immigration system but many haitian migrants aren't as lucky. still they keep trying risking their lives to reach this rock in the middle of the caribbean. this stepping stone to the united states. a texas man is one step

closer to freedom this morning after recent dna testing cleared him of a rape in 1990. michael phillips spent 12 years in prison after entering a plea deal that his attorney advised him to take. on friday a dallas judge ruled his conviction should be vacated after the city's district attorney found evidence linking the crime to another man. he says faith has guided him through the ordeal. >> my father god got me through this. that's all i got to say. that speaks for itself. pick up his book. it's truthful. see you through anything. >> its texas court of appeals must now rule on the decision. this is thought to be the first case in the u.s. where an innocent defendant was identified as a result of systemic screening and dna testing and not by a defendant

buying machines and training surgeons how to operate them but is robotic surgery better for the patient? robotic surgery has become a selling point for many medical centers across the country. last year robots were used in 422,000 surgeries. that's up 15% from the year before. today's study compared two techniques for bladder cancer surgery. the use of robots and traditional or open surgery, which involves larger incisions and a doctor directly handling the instruments and the organs. interim results releaseded in a letter to new england journal of medicine showed no difference between robotic and open surgery in length of hospital stay and findings were so clear the trial was stopped early. a doctor is a surgeon oncologist. he led the study. we live in a time where costs are high. where does this type of surgery

fit in? >> it has to be paramount in decision making is does it improve patient care? if it doesn't, costs aren't justified. >> reporter: this man is one of 118 patients in the study. he had robotic surgery. >> everyone thinks modern technology will solve most of the problems but in this case here it wasn't much of a difference. >> reporter: there is a difference in the cost. hospitals pay $1.7 million per robot and a 2010 study at one hospital showed robotic surgery for bladder cancer cost $1,600 more. >> are findings applicable to other surgeries? >> that's very important. this was a study of bladder cancer surgery and we don't know whether it's applicable to other types of surgery and the doctor said we need to do each one of

those types of studies to see what's going on in colon cancer surgery and other types of surgery. this is an example in terms of the big picture of technology possibly getting ahead of the evidence that the technology is better for us. the big question is this better for patients? it's sexier. it's interesting. it's high tech. it's cutting edge. is it better for patients? >> even if further studies favor the traditional open technique in some cases, will enough doctors feel comfortable doing it? >> that's a big question. the doctor told me the train may have have already left the station -- training may have left the station. it's possible that years from now not that many doctors will be left to know how to do it the old fashioned way. millions of low back pain sufferers could be in for a shock. a new study finds that acetaminophen is no more effective than a placebo. what does this study tell us? >> this is really well done and fascinating study. they took a large group of patients who had new on-set back

pain and divided them into three groups. the first group took acetaminophen, that's the medication found in tylenol. they took high doses or what's considered an extra strength dose three times a day as directed. the next group took tylenol as they needed it and the last group got a placebo pill something that looked like medication but really wasn't. at the end of the study, they found there was no difference between people who had taken the acetaminophen in tylenol and people who had taken the placebo pill. we learned that tylenol may not be as effective as we think it is in treating low back pain. but it also emphasizes the fact that placebos work as well. >> that's an interesting study. if we're not supposed to take tylenol, what should we take? >> tylenol is thing we reach for more as first line agent with new onset back pain there are others like aspirin and

ibuprofen and muscle relaxants and prescription painkillers. what we learn now is best treatment for back pain may not involve pills at all. things like physical therapy, stretching, mass anlage, yoga all of these things are effective. >> "wall street journal" say experts are zeroing in on the optimal night sleep. seven hours may be better than eight according to several studies while too little sleep impairs performance and memory too much can be tied to health problems like diabetes and obesity. the cdc hopes to publish guidelines next year. tampa bay's relief pitcher is on the disabled list this week. we've been telling you about an outbreak in the caribbean and now on mainland u.s. he got back from a trip to the dominican republic with a fever, achy joints and a rash and a blood test will confirm if he

contracted the virus transmitted through mosquitoes. how serious is it? >> you get sick but very rarely is it fatal. you can have the fever. you can have a headache. aches and pains. joint pain. joint swelling. usually better in seven to ten days but you can have complications that last longer. >> we had seen this virus was in the caribbean for several months. how is it spreading? >> it's really about travel is where it all sort of starts. there are a huge number of cases in the caribbean and puerto rico and in the u.s. we have so much travel back and forth so people go to those places and bit by a mosquito, contract the virus and come back here while still sick and we transmit the virus to mosquitoes. they don't just give it to us. a healthy mosquito will bite someone infected and they transmit to their neighbor who never traveled. it's about avoiding mosquito

bites and knowing where the virus is spreading the most. >> new research looks at the emotions of man's best friend. a study found that dogs can be jealous like humans. nearly 80% of canines barked or pushed back when their owners played with a stuffed animal that looked like a dog. 42% had the same reaction when they played with a jack-o'-lantern. >> no surprise here for me. my 17-year-old dog still cops an attitude if i even look at my children. >> this is the kind of study where people say why waste money and time but authors point out that jealousy is the third leading cause of accidental homicides and that's across all cultures. they use the term to say is this something that goes way back and that's really encoded in wiring and is there something we can learn that will help us in society in our daily activities? >> it seems like a complex emotion for dogs. >> it's just a natural reaction.

>> it's a good first generation product in that they tried new ideas. some will make it to the next version. some won't. it's a fine phone to use for making calls and surfing the web. a big amazon shopper, it has cool features. not sure it's a phone for everybody just yet. a lot of it feels experimental. it has this feature where you can take a picture of something and try to buy it on amazon. i got a 50% or 60% success rate with that. feels sluggish compared to other phones because processor is not as fast. i don't love the lower resolution screen. >> why did amazon take so long to roll out a phone? >> they want to get into hardware. they're not a hardware company but everyone wants to be there. they tried tablets and that did okay. kindle reader did okay. you get to a phone which is hard and complicated to do and you want to rate until you're ready for that. >> for so many of us our phones have become a camera. this one has four? >> it has five. two are for taking pictures and

others are for detecting your face and give that you 3-d view. it looks at where your eyes are and it shifts the perspective. they call it dynamic perspective. that's one of the really cool features. i'm not sure how practical it is and you'll say i want to see this map in a 3-d view. it's cool. >> you get unlimited storage for pictures on this phone. >> that's a nice thing. that's not a hardware feature. anyone can add that to their phone. you have an amazon cloud storage and locker and any photos you take go straight up there. i like that a lot. >> were you surprised amazon didn't offer a price break over the big guys? >> that's the surprising thing to me. this phone is $200 on contract. iphone 5s same $200. samsung galaxy 200 bucks. so you can get a fire phone. it's cool. it doesn't feel as premium as other guys. it's thicker. chunkier. it's not quite as slick. >> smartphones are the same for a while now. do you think this is enough to

get everyone else back in the lab creating something new on their phones? >> i think regular competition between apple and samsung is enough competition. that's 90% of the phone market right there. obviously everybody is waiting for the next iphone. you see how small the screen is compared to everyone else. they think in september they'll have one as big as this guy, about five inches. >> thank you very much. coming up in the sci-fi thriller lose"loseucy." find out what scientists think of the premise. this is "cbs this morning saturday." this is mary, a woman who loves to share her passions. grandma! mary has atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts her at a greater risk of stroke. rome? sure! before xarelto® mary took warfarin which required monthly trips to get her blood tested. but that's history.

back to the museum? not this time! now that her doctor switched her to once-a-day xarelto® mary can leave those monthly trips behind. domestic flight? not today! like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so mary is free of that monitoring routine. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. spinach? grazie! plus, with no known dietary restrictions mary can eat the healthy foods she likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding

♪ welcome to "cbs this morning saturday." >> coming up this half hour one expert calls it shocking. researchers say the colorado river basin has lost 17 trillion gallons of water since 2004. what that means for the future. 30 years later we look back at the historic 1984 olympic games in los angeles. the event that showcased american champions and saved the modern olympics. it's like pulling the cork on your inner wine expert. a cell phone app that scans the menu to help you choose the perfect vintage. first, our top story this half hour. the battle of gaza. israel and hamas declared a 12-hour cease-fire. here's the latest. palestinians are restocking supplies during the 12-hour

humanitarian truce but time is running short because the two sides did not agree on a seven-day cease-fire. more than 900 palestinians and 40 israelis have been killed in the fighting. more bodies were discovered during the morning. >> the conflict also had an affect outside gaza. in the west bank more violent clashes between protesters and israeli force this is morning. secretary of state john kerry is in paris after leaving without the long-term cease-fire deal he sought. >> we still have some terminology and context and framework to work through but we are confident we have a fundamental framework that can and will ultimately work. >> kerry and other foreign ministers are still talking about a broader truce deal. some palestinians this morning are moving to safer areas. we have the latest now from barry peterson in gaza city. >> reporter: the cease-fire has been a relief to people who were desperate. they flooded the streets of the city. we went to the main market.

we saw all kinds of things for sale. farmers bringing their produce in hoping to make some money. things have been closed down for weeks. people out shopping buying the weirdest thing of all we've been driving around the streets empty but today there were traffic jams. there was even a donkey that got caught in all of the mess. there's also a bad part of all of this. the cease-fire means that rescuers can go into areas that have been hit. they can go through the rubble. they can begin to find the bodies that they couldn't recover before. that process will go on all day long. people are also going into their homes where they were chased away by the war trying to find their possessions. some people found stuff that they could salvage. others found nothing. for "cbs this morning saturday," barry peterson gaza. ukraine there are signs that russia is upping the ante. russian troops are being shifted closer to the border and russian artillery has been used against

ukrainian forces batting pro-russian separatists. mark albert is in our washington bureau with more. good morning, mark. >> reporter: good morning. the pentagon says russia's delivery of heavy caliber rocket symptoms to russia-backed separatists is imminent. this comes a week after they suspect an anti-aircraft system in rebel held territory shot down malaysian airlines flight 17 killing nearly 300 people. also, the u.s. says russian forces are now firing artillery barrages at ukraine's military from inside russia. a half dozen times in the past two weeks. u.s. ambassador to nato spoke at a security forum in colorado yesterday. he said russia appears to be building up troops at the ukrainian border once again. now, about 15,000 strong while still providing rebels large amounts of training funding and support. >> this is civil war by proxy, if you will. the instability generated

largely by moscow and by putin. >> reporter: at a state department briefing a spokeswoman said russia has become isolated due to u.s. auction s sanctions. soon after the spokeswoman was called out by name saying she chopped a big basket of anti-russian cliches as part of a smear campaign against russia and that washington shares the responsibility for the bloodshed in full. >> mark albert in washington. thank you, mark. international crises will top the agenda on "face the nation." former secretary of state madeleine albright ukraine's foreign minister and michigan representative mike rogers. >> southern californians are preparing for triple digit heat this weekend while violent storms including possible tornadoes are likely from the great lakes to the northeast. we go to our chicago station

potentially in store for us both saturday and sunday along with those scorching temps. back to you. >> weather satellites are tracking water reserves in the drought stricken west and researchers at nasa and the university of california irvine say they are finding -- what they are finding is shocking. reservoirs are running low and underground resources are depleting at an alarming rate. one look at the white ring where water levels used to rise at lake meed reservoir, it's clear. the colorado river basin is drying up. what you don't see underground is even more unnerving. >> during these periods of drought we hit that ground water supply really hard. it gets significantly depleted. >> reporter: the colorado river basin is considered a life line to seven western states providing water to 40 million people and 4 million acres of farmland. researchers say it's lost almost

13 trillion gallons of underground water in less than a decade. is there a chance that we could see this underground water depleted? will it come back? >> it took thousands, millions of years, to fill up those in the first place and we are depleting them in decades. >> reporter: across drought stricken california water shortages are taken their toll. fresno resident's well ran dry a month ago. >> when you turn that faucet on you always wonder if water will come out. >> reporter: water rationing forced residents to lay artificial turf or paint brown lawns green. >> as soon as water sanctions hit and as soon as people find their water bills rising and rising, they're looking for ways to cut back on their expenses and that's when they start calling.

>> reporter: without significant rainfall and rationing, researchers say the demand for water will outpace the supply that sits above and below ground. four u.s. cities are showing strong interest in hosting the summer olympics in 2024 and one of them is los angeles. representatives from l.a. san francisco, boston and washington met yesterday with top executives of the u.s. olympic committee. if los angeles is ultimately chosen, it would become the first american city to host the games three times. the last time was in 1984 opening 30 years ago opening this the last saturday in july. they were memorable games. here to tell us about that is jeff foster sports editor for "the wall street journal." this is a fascinating games in terms of first. the first time that some athletes were doing commercial endorsements. the first color tv games. historically how do people remember the games? >> could you make the argument it saved the olympics. if you look at three summer

games prior to '84. '72 in munich had a terrible hostage crisis. '76 in montreal was a financial disaster. '80 in moscow countries boycotted and then '84 comes in and makes a lot of money and no one really wanted to host it. los angeles got it by default. and then you look at '92, next time there's a bidding process. countries are lining up to host the olympics. everybody wants to do this after they see success in los angeles. >> how much of the city of los angeles was actually used in those games? >> the whole city. the southern california olympics. they had the rowing up in the north almost near santa barbara. they had the equestrian in san diego. they really spread it out. they used all 300 square miles of los angeles which was smart because they were really worried about the traffic and that made things easier. there was no congestion to events in one area. >> montreal games lost 1.5

billion. what did l.a. do right that led to profits? >> they didn't build venues. they built a swim center and they had corporate sponsors on two venues like mcdonald's swim center and 7-eleven village room. greece spent a ton of money on venues and never recovered that money. using the forum and l.a. coliseum coliseum, that saved a lot of money and corporate sponsors was the first major sports event. >> the black mark was soviet union, major powerhouse didn't participate. in part retaliation for our not participating four years earlier in moscow. how much did that affect the impact of these games? >> it definitely affected them. soviet union had 125 gold medals in '76. east germany had 90. that's a lot of gold medals that

were available in 1984. you saw the americans and a lot of western countries do which better than they should have done because it was watered down. especially events like soviets dominated like gymnastics and weightlifting. >> the images we see of these athletes are a flashback. for so many of us, these are athletes that are synonymous with the olympics. who stood out? >> mary lou retton was the first u.s. gymnast to win. she was a huge star. carl lewis was a big star. he matched edwin moses' feat of winning four gold medals in track. and greg won two gold medals and would win two more and hit his head in '88. he did start in '84. >> and then michael jordan played basketball. >> it was right before he went to the nba. it was sort of his coming out party for the world as this

international superstar. he had been at north carolina and about to go to the bulls and helped the last u.s. amateur team to win a gold medal which was a pretty good team. a dream team amateurs. patrick ewing, michael jordan. >> if only sochi had studied l.a. >> don't build anything. >> thank you for being with us this morning. up next being able to tap into your whole brain. it's being tackled in a new movie "lucy" and we'll slain akexplain access to your brain's full potential when we come back. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday."

>> we don't know. depends on how you frame the question. if you're framing the question that only 10% of our body is alive and functional and other 90% is dead weight. that's a myth. if you ask the question what's the maximum potential of our brain, nobody knows the answer. all our brains are primed for superhuman abilities. we have to look at those that can perform mathematical feats, and einsteins. we're capable we haven't found how to unlock those powers. >> it's almost like neuroscience is a different language. where are we in understanding the brain? >> it's only in the last 20 years we learned about the brain. people thought there were many regions of the brain that were dead or silent zones. some part of our history we thought right side of our brain

was silent. at one point we thought the frontal part of the brain was completely dead tissue. now we know that 100% of our brain is functioning. the whole brain works as a coordinated unit but we have a lot to learn. there's a saying if the brain were so simple that we could understand it, then we would be so simple that we could not understand it. >> very good. >> i like that. if we want to access more of our brain's capacity is there actually anything we can do? >> right now there are a few simple things we can do. first is believe in yourself. don't think your brain is this dumb organ. think of it as a super brain. it motivates us to improve ourselves. the second thing is the brain is an intense energy efficient organ. even though it weighs only 2% of our body's weight it uses 20% of the energy. it's very important for us to get blood flowing. exercise. make sure you're heart healthy.

third thing is get sleep and get some rest because nighttime is when the brain throws out the toxins and archives its memories so rest is critical. the last thing, the brain becomes more efficient the more you use it. give it a chance. the more you use it the more it will come alive. >> is it what we heard, do cross words and puzzles and things like that. >> challenging things. challenge yourself. >> what is the future? what's the next step in brain science? >> so right now with current drugs, with current brain training exercise we can improve our brain performance 15% to 30%. the next step is to double brain power. smart drugs. there are some devices coming out. there's one device that kind of delivers small electrical jolts to the brain that seems to improvefve memory and implanted brain chips and interfaces is the future. >> how far away is that? >> 15 to 20 years away.

"batman" has to get groceries too. come on. there you go. >> we talk about classic movies all the time but some are more classical than others like this one. we'll see "the rock" here. the story gets a reboot in the new movie version of the greek myth. >> the rock didn't show up on set as usual. he's playing a god and to look

the part he spent 22 weeks in a gruelling training program. for more on that we're joined by matt singer. matt, good morning. >> good morning, guys. >> this seems like a normal thing now. we've seen so many actors go from heavy to thin and thin to heavy. is it almost a prerequisite for a great role? >> it is. it was pretty uncommon for a long time but now it is seen as this indicator not just of the quality of a movie but its importance. it's almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. people say if this movie was a piece of junk they would put on makeup and put a pillow under their shirt but look at the sacrifices they made for this part. they ate nothing but used coffee filters for six months. this movie has to be amazing. if it wasn't they wouldn't put themselves through it and lends an air of credibility and importance to a movie. >> it leads to oscar nominations too. 22 weeks. what did the rock do?

>> he was big to begin with. he's so much bigger in this movie. you see him there. it's insane. he ate seven meals a day. he ate three pounds of meat and 14 eggs a day. was waking up in the middle of the night to eat and working out around the clock. he didn't sleep. just hearing that amount of food and exercise makes me nauseous and exhausted. you can imagine what it was like to actually do those things for this movie. >> he looks enormous in it i have to say. i know during the filming he was making sure he maintained that weight. >> it's not now i make the movie and can relax. you have to maintain it for eight months. the entire shoot you have to keep doing it otherwise you'll be the rock in one scene and look like me in the next. you have to constantly keep it up. he did -- i've seen the movie. it's a lot of fun. the fact that he's so big lends a certain amount of credibility to this ridiculous stuff he's doing. i believe the rock could knock over a mountain because he's that big. >> let's talk about other favorite transformations.

1980 robert de niro in "raging bull." >> it was a double transformation. he got in incredible shape to play the boxing scenes. he worked out for a year to be the boxer. they shut down production for four months and he went to europe and went and did nothing but eat and eat and eat and he came back 60 pounds heavier. >> i would take that part. >> he won an oscar. can you imagine getting an award for taking a four-month food vacation in europe. that's a good job. we might be in the wrong field if that's what it takes to win an oscar. >> next up tom hanks in 2000 filmed "castaway." >> this one was the most extreme. he did the reverse raging bull. put on weight first. gained 40 pounds to play a middle-aged guy out of shape and they shut the film down for a year and director went and made an entire movie while he just sat and lost weight. starved himself.

also added beard and hair. that's real. that's not makeup or a wig. that might be the most impressive part of this transformation. can you imagine going to the grocery store with that hair and beard. that can't be fun. >> let's talk about matthew mcconaughey. he said i kept losing weight until people started being afraid at how skinny i was. that's when i knew i hit the nail on the head. >> he lost 50 pounds. he went down to 135 pounds. he lost so much weight he said that he couldn't see at times. it affected his vision. he couldn't do five pushups without feeling exhausted. and he's playing a man dying of aids. it really lends a credibility to that performance where you see him. it's really shocking and jarring. >> as dramatic as that transformation is, the most may be christian bales performance in "the machinist" in 2004. >> the modern de niro in terms of incredible lengths he's gone

to. he lost 60 pounds. his diet was coffee and an apple or a can of tuna a day. shocking. he's gone up and down multiple times. almost as good as dieting as he is in acting. he may want to consider that as a second field. >> women are no strangers to dieting. let's talk about the women and incredible transformations. everyone thinks of "the monster." >> so glamorous and beautiful when you see her and then really this huge transformation. she gained about 30 pounds and there is some makeup involved. it's really about losing yourself in this character because she's such a glamorous woman that certainly not a glamorous film. to play that part you really have to disguise yourself and she's almost unrobecognizable there. >>

if you normally cook it for two hours, he'll cook it for 20 hours to make it -- >> the show is important. something we know well. your degree was in hotel and restaurant management. when did you make that transition? >> i wanted to be -- i always wanted to be a manager and then that was my true call to be in hotels and that kind of passion that comes with you and then i noticed that the chef had all of these power over everybody. he was the untouchable guy. you're a teenager. you're trying to figure out life. >> that's very enticing. >> i said let me put cooking into my career and then when i finished college, i went down to miami and met with a good friend of mine and we were both graduating from cooking school and we were proud to be cuban and we started this new -- we were the first ones that did our

cuban food in a lighter way, fresher ingredients, new preparations and we developed this thing where we were in this restaurant in miami that's been there for 30 years and we started with this new cuban thing and then we started traveling and that became latino which we include all of the countries and it became kind of like a big between us and ricky martin. >> chef garcia we want to get your signature on this dish. if you could have this meal with any person, past or present, who would that person be? >> i would like to have this with -- i would like to share this -- i would love to cook this in an orphanage to get the experience of their own countries and all of the countries of latin america. >> that picks up a lot about you. for more on chief garcia head
