7:06 am
traffic nightmare for the morning commute. charlie? >> teri, thanks. new atalks killed more than a thousand palestinians. that attack happened hours after workers found hidden missiles in a different school that was empty. israel claims hamas is hiding barry metersen is in gaza city where rockets and shale still falling. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. if anything, the israeli attacks seemed to be intensifying. they say they have hit more than 4,000 targets since this war began, but it was hitting one target that left people here stunned. for the second time in a week, shells plowed into a u.n. school where refugees chased from their homes by the fighting were calmed into classrooms believing that under the u.n.'s protection this was a safe haven. instead it was a tar get.
7:07 am
we were sleeping under the u.n.'s protection. it is enough. have mercy. mercy like medical supplies is in short supply here, but not mourning. that's never in short supply when metal tears through flush. but last night the lead over the military in hamas was unyielded. no cease-fire, he said, until israel ends its eight year blockade of gaza and stops the war. this palestinian video was also played showing hamas fighters shooting their way into an israeli guard post. four israeli soldiers were killed and the military is now investigating how hamas fighters pulled this off. fighters who slipped back into the tunnel showing off captured israeli weapons. amid the ongoing attacks, children chased leaflets dropped
7:08 am
by jets telling people to reveal tunnel locations but if anything the mood here seems sadder but angrier. the palestinians are not animals, he said. we are people. the u.n. says it is angry that one of its vacant schools was used to store weapons. this happened before again in an empty vacant school. meanwhile the palestinian ministry of health has issued an urgent call. it needs blood donations. norah? >> all right, barry. thank you so much. this morni this morning russia's ministry says it doesn't understand why president obama is acushion them of not helping the malaysia flight 17. at a news conference senior white house correspondent bill plante asked the president if the u.s. is turning back the clock. >> is this a new cold war, sir? >> no, it's not a new cold war.
7:09 am
what it is is a very specific issue related to russia's unwillingness to recognize ukraine can chart its own path and i think if you listen to president poroshenko, if you listen to the ukrainian people, they say they seek good relations with russia. >> the new sanctions target more russian banks. the u.s. and eu will also stop selling arms to russia. >> this morning the president is expected to sign a passion bill. house republican leaders are pitching a cheaper alternative and the white house is looking at ways to change immigration policy without congressional approval. cbs political analyst john dickerson is in washington. john, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what is the president likely to do? >> well hrks e's likely to do as much as his lawyers will allow him to do. what the president is looking at is to take some way to take executive action to deal with the immigration problem.
7:10 am
it's not going to be comprehensive like the kind we've heard about in the last seven years, but it's going to be as much as he can do. so it will be delaying deportations perhaps or issuing some new kinds of work permits. the president said he's been hemmed in by the limitations on his office before when it comes to immigration, but now he's going to do as much as he possibly can. >> the word is, john, that the president may sign this executive action sometime after labor day. we've got midterm elections. how do you think it will play in some of these key senate races where republicans could take control if the president is seen as granting work permits, saving some 11 million immigrants from deportation? >> again, it will be a smaller portion but no matter how small the smaller portion is it'll will be. it's a hot button issue for conservative voters and you're right to focus on the dozen or so senate races. that's all about who will control the senate, will
7:11 am
republicans take control of it. it will rile up republicans not just because of immigration but this is also a question they say of the president abusing power. d depending on how far they go, they're what kept him from acting unilaterally. >> some people here around washington, they talk about the word "impeachment." where does that conversation go? >> well, it started sort of in the grassroots. sarah palin who's been sort of the most vocal person discussing it. the white house and democrats in particular have been talking about this, they've raised quite a lot of money from this just as republicans raise a lot of money on the threat of impeachment back in 2006. but john boehner, speak over the house, said this is not a serious thing and this is just the white house trying to rain muz off a political scandal. >> all right. john dickerson, thank you.
7:12 am
in denver, a witness said it looked like a monsoon blew through. a powerful storm dumped rain on tuesday. drivers were stuck in water. they could see even more rain in denver today. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. heavy rain, hail, and thunder storms pounded this area tuesday. some communities are completely washed out. the situation is widespread norah and gayle and charlie. at one point almost the even tire state was under a flash flood watch. they saw rain in about two minutes. >> it was like you're under water very reports of water more than 2 feet deep didn't keep drivers off the road. this family needed to be rescued after their car became submerged. >> lucky we got down here in
7:13 am
time because the car could have filled with more water. >> reporter: and this area turned into a lake as the mile high city slowed to a crawl. crewed worked into the night clearing the mess. no injuries were reported. and some of the hardest hit areas, firefighters say they received nearly a dozen calls from drivers stuck in floodwaters. officials are warning people if they can't see the ground, turn around. and emergency crews are prepared for even more mudslides today as we're expecting even more later today. emergency crews are prepared, as i mentioned. the flash flood watch is expected until later this afternoon. charlie. >> rahel, thanks. a wildfire is too dangerous for families to return home this family. crews are fighting from above an area that's claimed 5 1/2 miles saturday. this morning the fire is about 35% contained. a grim find inside a

7:15 am
returned to sicily at the end of an eight-day journey. they say some of the fields are not up to today's standards which raises the questions. aren't these supposed to be guarded at all times. >> certainly that will be part of the investigation, looking for security for how a young man could get inside the wheel well of app air force aircraft. >> reporter: this appears to be the story of a young man desperately trying to escape to a better life, but what if he had been a terrorist loaded with skplo explosives. suddenly that scenario doesn't seem so far-fetched tachlt charlie? >> david, thanks. this morning aides are bgs told to leave the area of south africa. a doctor has been called a hero against the deadly virus. he contracted ebola while taking

7:34 am
damaged jesse ventura's reputation. >> chris kyle was the deadliest sniper. he wrote in his 2012 book that he punched out a celebrity in a california bar back in 2006. he said he was running his mouth about the iraq war. kyle said the man took a swing at him and after that scruff face ended up on the floor, but in promotional floors he identified the man he slugged as jesse ventura. and he said, you know, we deserve to lose a few guys. >> jesse said that? >> yeah. >> ventura was in town for a navy graduation but said the incident never happen. in 2012 shortly after the book was published, he filed a defamation lawsuit against the author. kyle was shot and killed by a fellow veteran on a texas gun range in 2013 but the high-profile lawsuit continued.
7:35 am
in videotaped testimony taken before his death, kyle said his story was accurate. the federal jury deliberated for six days and on tuesday awarded ventura close to $2 million. his attorney said the case was about ventura's reputation. >> it is a victory in a sense that the jury did tell the world chris kyle's story is a lie and it was a fabrication. >> former governor ventura joins us from minneapolis with an interview you'll only see on "cbs this morning." good morning. >> good morning. >> why pursue this lawsuit? >> well, you pursue a lawsuit for the truth. i would have been a big-time loser had i not pursued the lawsuit pause in the lawsuit, the whole story was fabricated. i was accused of treason which in the military is the death penalty. i would thank would inspire
7:36 am
anyone to seek the truth. the bottom line is that's all that happened. let's be clear on something. taya kyle had all of her attorney fees paid by insurance. did not. i incurred 2 1/2 years of lawyer fees that i have to pay to clear my name and she had insurance paying everything for her. >> some suggest, jesse, that you may have damaged your reputation by pursuing a lawsuit against the widow. >> well, if seeking the truth damages you, then we live in a pretty sorry world, don't we, when the truth can hurt you and the truth came out. it never occurred. that's all i sought from it. and i'm already damaged. i can't go to a s.e.a.l. reunion anymore. that was the one place where i always felt safe. i can't go there anymore. i'd be looking over my shoulder now wondering who's going to come after me next.
7:37 am
so don't think i come oust this unscathed. all i wanted to do was clear my name and it has nothing to do with the widow or anything like that. it was me against an insurance company. >> mrs. kyle also said, jesse, the truth is the truth. she doesn't think you're telling the truth. she said she's never out of this fight. do you have any plans to reach out to her? >> no, i don't. you're not supposed to talk to the other side. you know, she can say what she wants. there wasn't one witness that saw me get hit. >> does it bother you that you might have won the case but you were certainly getting hammered in dours of public opinion? >> i'm not getting hammered in the court of public opinion. people are walking up to me every day and shanking my hand. there's no -- how am i getting hammered in the court of public opinion? because i sought the truth. the truth gets you hammered in the court of opinion? if the true doesn't that, i'll accept it.
7:38 am
i believe in the truth and i still do "today." >> go ahead. >> chris cykyle was a navy s.e.a.l. >> soo was i. >> he has a wife and two children, 9-year-old and 11-year-old. the state has to pay out over a million dollars in fees. what are you going do with the money? >> pay my lawyers. again, like i said, i didn't have an insurance company paying the freight for me. i had to pay my own. you know, it's unfortunate, but the jury rendered that decision. jesse ventura did not rep der how and why the money would be paid. that came from a jury, not from me. so if you're going to question the money, question the jury. they made that decision. governor jesse ventura did not. >> you were in a bar with chris kyle and you did get in an argument, correct? >> no, we did not. no we did not. i have no recollection of chris kyle until june 2012 at the
7:39 am
first settlement prehearing. did i meet him. probably. we have pictures out there. i posed for picture. there's no hostility whatever in the photos that we submitted in court and pictures the next day of me. i'm on blood thinners. if i get hit, i bleed. i can't shave with bladed razor. i have to use election conservative. you're telling me this guy -- and i'm 255 pounds -- there wouldn't have been a mark on me and knock med down? i sthoinch. >> why do you think chris kyle said this? >> it sells. it's called a sea story. it happens all the time. one sailor lies to another sailor. that second sailor tells the story three or four times and all of a sudden it's the truth. they were drunk, drinking heavily and it was a story that
7:40 am
happened in another bar and erupted six years later. >> do you plan to take further question? >> i plan to visit harper collins. they published the book and did no due diligence to find out if the story was true. >> all right. governor jesse ventura, thank you so much. >> thank you. ahead, two women trap odden a tall bridge face a train barreling town the tracks. how they survive. that's next on "cbs this morning."

two women barely escape with their lives caught on an indiana trestle. they had nowhere to go with a
7:45 am
train rumbling down the track. dean reynolds has a story of their quick thinking and survival. >> reporter: initially it might have seemed like a bright idea to these two women. 80 feet abaove the creek with only the narrow rail bed to walk on. what could go wrong. what did go wrong is that a 14,000-ton train traveling from bloomington to indianapolis began to cross the bridge at the same time. >> 80 feet off the ground to the point with they were. if they had jumped. if that hadn't killed them it would have severely injured them. >> reporter: with no time to spare the women made a split-second decision, diving in between the tracks with the 100-car train passing on tom of them. >> you have the wood cross ties holding things in place. from that is seven inches and from the top of the rail to the bottom of the plow here, maybe 4 inches. so you're talking 10, 11 inches
7:46 am
at most. >> the women survived by laying flush with the train tracks where the 10 inches of space barely separated them. >> the train was only moving 25 mile as hour and it stook took about a thousand feet for that train to stop. >> after clearing the bridge and the two women the train finally came to a stop. the two fled the scene but were later identified by their license plate. they're likely to be charged with criminal trespassing. for "cbs this morning," dean reynolds, chicago. >> we have video of this because trains have video on the front? is that what happens? >> that's what happened in this particular case. there was a train in the engineer. the engineer had a train in this area. what i think is so strange is why would you take a walk on a train track that's 80 feet up with nowhere to go. somebody's looking out for them. that's crazy. >> that's something you would
7:47 am
do, is it? >> is that . we're used to seeing handsome faces in "gq" magazine, but we'll show you the true beauty behind this image. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places. she's a unicorn... ...and a pegasus.

8:14 am
that's what the kids have in commercials. both before and after. it'sing feeling good on the inside. >> why does it cause problems earlier if you start dieting or eating healthy. why does it cause problems later. >> they focus on two groups of children. probably girls having body image issues and they have an idea that's unobtainable and do zreemt things like purging and taking laxatives and diuretics and following fad diets. and you have the other group of kids who are overweight and they think if they do this diet, you know, if i go on an extreme low carb or lo this or that, aisle lose my weight and be fine. we know from most studies anybody who does these extreme kinds of diets, they gain their weight back and more. it's a cycle. >> this is an alarming but important study because i think many parents, mothers and fathers hear this and say i have
8:15 am
a teenager who may be dieting now and this suggests they're going to have problems for a lifetime. what should a parent do? >> i think it should be an open discussion with your child. you can say, i understand you want to eat healthy. we can do it with a family. let's not do anything extreme. do you aunt a gym membership, join the y, go for walks. don't do things behind their backs. even boys who want to do wrestling do diet to lose weight. kids are savvy. >> what about parents' behavior? >> yeah. they have to model. i was talking earlier some of my parents that i take care of, they have eating disorders themselves and their kids mimic what they do. so they want to be on a diet like their mom. >> and if you're a parent and you're looking at your kid, how do you know for sure if they've crossed the line? >> extreme weight loss. things with girls, skin changes,
8:16 am
hair falling out with an rexy, if their clothing are falling off of them, low energy level or going to the gym for a long time, two or three hours at a time. hiding wrappers in their book backs, under mattresses, there's a lot of signs. >> thank you dr. diane hess. grade to have you again. and we're shown how something can be created from almost nothing. how can that be, ben? >> that's right. this red plastic chair could be part of the solution. we'll show you how coming up on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: cbs "morning rounds" sponsored by citracal maximum. highly soluble, easily absorbed. . defiance never grows old. citracal maximum. easily absorbed calcium plus d. beauty is bone deep. thank ythank you for defendiyour sacrifice. and thank you for your bravery.

8:21 am
unreal. so that's plastic that was literally made out of thin air. >> we would be breathing this right now. >> mark harama is the ceo of new technologies. he sees both sides of the climate debate. >> we have people on one side who say if we react, i it's going to cost the economy. they're not wrong. on the other side we have people who say it's a huge problem and we need to do something about it. 245i're not wrong either. the problem is they haven't been able to find something that works for both sides. >> reporter: the 32-year-old has found a way to do something. he's found a way to make plastic out of emissions rather than with fossil fuel and oil. he's found a way to do it cheaper. he's been working on it for 11 years when he started the company with his friend kenton kimmel in his parents' garage.
8:22 am
>> the think that was missing is no one knew how to do it cost-effectively. >> i imagine you had a lot of doubters. what were people telling you? >> i don't thinkky repeat quotes. >> a lot of you're blank crazy? >> yeah, things like that. >> they're fed into this 50-foot tall reactor in new life, california. baunldle of enzymes strips out the carbon and oxygen and rearranges it into a substance called aircarbon. it is then melted down and cooled inside these tubes and sliced into thee plastic pell lots that can be molded into anything. >> like bird food. >> or a disruptive technology that's going to change the world. >> one of two. >> they're shutting their plastic to companies such as furniture maker ki who uses it to make chairs. there are soap dishes and even plastic bags.

ou>> pla go. at a recent "fortune magazine" event michael dell announced he'll be using the plastic to wrap his computers. dan cameron, a physicist at berkeley says it's whether they can grow the business enough to disrupt the $80 billion plastics injury. >> if you can capture car button out of the air and do it over long periods of time. you not only get the product but you've reduced the and of greenhouse gases in the air and that ice something that companies and governments around the world pay for today. >> herrema says a big break through has made it ten times more efficient and that will help them grow. >> a lot of people ask how do you do that. we don't tell that. >> that's one of the secrets? >> that's one of the secrets. >> he hopes that secret is also
8:24 am
a solution we can hold in our hands. >> this case would have been otherwise floating through the air. you're responsible. you pulled the carbon out of the air. >> i know this sounds like mack inthan science. you each get a cell phone case. that's for norah, charlie. i got them in charlie's favorite color. it's very hard to read. it says pulled from the air for norah o'donnell, charlie rose, gayle king. that would otherwise be up in e it. >> it seems like a disruptive technology. >> do they get any tax incentives for doing this? >> no. they say they're not necessarily doing it for the environment. they just think this is a cost-effective way to make plastic. >> it's of benefit. >> exactly. >> thank you, ben. her books have sold more than 25 million companies. author diana

people go out of their minds for "outlander," the wildly popular first book in diane gabaldon's first book. mysteriously swept back in time to 17 h 3 and into the arms of a smoking hot scottish warrior. >> ah, yes. >> yes, sam, yes. more than 25 million copies of the book have been sold. it's a series that mixes fantasy, history, and romance is being aired for tv. >> we'll be waiting. we go. >> i'm not going with you. >> yes, you are. >> are you going to cut my
8:43 am
throat if i don't? >> i went, but you don't look that heavy. now, if you won't walk, i shah pick you up and throw you over my shoulder. do you want me to do that? >> yes, i do. they join us at the table. congratulations and william. let's start with you, diana, since it all started from your words. you said this is the first time that an adaptation did not want to make you burst into flames. did you think they couldn't do it? >> i thought they could. >> you were very nervous about the process. >> for 20-odd years people have been trying to make a two-hour mirror of that book but it's impossible. i read scripts by very well known screen writers and some made me burst into flames. with 16 hours to deal, it's a much more feasible proposition than trying to squish it into
8:44 am
two. i was thrilled by that and much more so by ron's reputation and even more so by meeting him and his partner. >> the producer. >> the producer, yes. >> it's incredible 20 years ago you wrote "outlander" and now your eighth book "written in my own blood." what's the inspiration for your first book? >> you'll laugh. it was that i wanted to write a book to learn how to write a novel. i was a research professor, knew my way around the library and i was looking for a time and place to set it. i had seen an old "dr. book. i thought you have to start somewhere. >> you decided to write a book so you could learn to write a novel. >> yes, exactly. that's the best way. >> and were the two of you
8:45 am
familiar with the sooergeries, katarina? you go first. >> no, i hadn't heard about it until i got the audition. then when i learned they wanted to tift, i called up my local bookstore and they had one copy left and i said i'll be there in five minutes. as i was buying the book, he said, you know, they're going to make a movie oucht this book. i thought it was a good omen. >> you're irish. >> yes. >> teamed one a scotsman. >> terribly difficult job but yes, i am. >> was your hair always like that? you look like a scottish warrior. very sexy. >> thank you very much. yes, i would come back here any time you want. no. it was a great prospect. i had to put on a bit of weight and grow out my hair. i'm really enjoying it. >> had you read any of the books? >> no.
8:46 am
i did the same as katarina. i went online. i was a huge battle star ga lakt khafan and star war fan. >> people always maim comparisons to "game of thrones." >> externally it's a well financed beautifully run show, extensive, spectacular and based on a huge and fairly popular chain of books so to speak. >> "game of thrones" is not historical fiction but it's fiction and involved warriors and stuff. don't you think that's helped in some ways in london. ing your show? >> of course. showing that you can base a long running series of shows based on the books and not only be based on the book bus paralleling the world of the books. it dwivs extra dimension to the fan os the book and the show itself and we hope lit draw in other people to the books. >> there's so many fans of the
8:47 am
