shakeup. after disastrous appearance by their ceo on capitol hill, bp takes about a change in leadership. but is there anyone at the embattled company who can lead the region out of this black hole? hell on earth. a judge will travel to one of the most dangers prisons in the world to interrogate joran van der sloot. we'll talk with someone who served hard time inside castro castro prison. frasier crane, unpruged. kelsey grammer opening up about his beloved frasier and why america loved him. what makes the man behind tv's
8:01 am
eccentric psychiatrist tick. and a little boogie baby. meet the diaper dancer who likes to samba for his momma as we go "under the radar" early june 19, to samba for his momma as we go "under the radar" early june 19, 2010. captioning funded by cbs good morning, everyone. great to have you with us on a saturday morning. i'm erica hill. >> i'm chris wragge. we'll get right to our top story. the oil spill in the gulf of mexico now in its second month. for the first time bp containment system is meeting peak capacity. >> thad allen says bp is capturing or burning more than a million gallons of oil each day, which sounds like a lot. bp is hoping to capture 90% of the oil gushing by the end of the month. experts warn this massive spill are not stop until the two relief wells are completed.
8:02 am
that's most likely not going to happen until august. don teague is in grand isle, louisiana, with the latest for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. as you mention, there is progress in the effort to capture the oil that's been gushing from that blownout well. it comes amid pore public confusion by bp. who's managing bp's response to the oil spill? it's a simple question with a somewhat confused answer. after the company's chairman announced ceo tony hayward was handing over day-to-day responsibility for the spill response. >> he's now handing over the operations, day-to-day operations. >> reporter: bp later backpedal the saying he'll hand over the response only after the spill is over. peen while in grand isle, after a month-long battle with coast guard for permission, local officials are beginning to blockade the entrance to barataria bay with barges.
8:03 am
there will be more than 60 barges anchored and tied end to end in this bay. when they're all here that will make a 7,000 foot barrier to block and chen channel the oil. it's a bold, unproven tactic deviced by local political leaders, including grand isle mayor david. >> we could suck it up, put it on barges and haul it away. >> reporter: the mayor pledged to do this at a cost of $31 million a month with or without federal permission. >> it's very frustrating. too many chiefs. >> reporter: and too much oil is still pouring out of bp's blownout well. between 1.5 and 2.5 million gallons every day. but the company is now capturing about 1 million gallons a day and may soon double that amount. back to that barrier project. i should mention bp is footing the $31 million a month bill. they put 18 barges in place
8:04 am
yesterday. they say they could are them all in place and have the bay blocked by next week. erica, chris? >> don teague for us. thanks. the federal government estimates the reservoir, feeding this gushing well, still holds about 94% to 97% of the oil. it could take as long as four years for the reservoir to empty if it can't be stopped. we want to get perspective this morning so we turn to dr. edward overton, professor of environmental scientists at louisiana university. good to have you back with us this morning, sir. >> thank you, erica. >> so, when you hear those numbers there, the amount of oil that's still in the well, do you agree with those numbers and does it surprise you that so little of it has actually come out? >> well, absolutely. it costs so much to drill these deepwater wells they have to go into reservoirs, and doesn't surprise me at all. they wouldn't be drilling into
8:05 am
these reservoir if there wasn't that kind of reserve. >> do you think the two relief wells will be able to top the flow from this particular well by august? >> we sure hope so. bp says they're ahead of schedule. i heard one report they were within 200 feet of the final intersect. 200 feet sounds like not very much after you're talking about two or three miles, but i think it's a very difficult 200 feet. you're hitting a very, very tiny target from five miles away -- three miles away. let's hope they are being very, very precise in their work, be careful. don't get in a hurry, finish the job and get these sealed. >> it's so tough because there are all these different numbers being thrown around. admiral thad allen saying bp should capture 53,000 oils by the end of june. is that really going to put a dent in things? and is that the amount of oil that's actually leaking? >> well, it's interesting. the president said they would capture in the next few days
8:06 am
90%. right now it sounds like they're capturing about 50%. i'm sure the president knows something that the rest of us don't know about what's in the plans. so, i sure hope they are close to capturing 90% until the well is shut off. that would improve things an awful lot. still got a lot of oil on the surface. we still need to get rid of that oil. the sooner it's stopped, the better off we'll be. >> you mentioned the oil on the surface. it's impossible to forget toes heartbreaking pictures of the pelicans we see, but there is obviously a lot more damage, potential for damage, under that slick we see on the surface. a dead sperm whale just turned up. talk to us about the damage we're not seeing under the water. >> well, the incredible potential we don't know about, the damage right at the surface, a lot of the little -- the eggs and the small juvenile fish live their initial stageless of life right on the surface. those things are getting wiped
8:07 am
out. we've got dispersed oil down in the water column so animals are being exposed to this dispersed oil. we don't know the exact potential. of course, whales have to come up through the slick to breathe. and there's a great deal of opportunity for ingesting oil into their lungs. so, whales and marine animals, lots of kearney time they're going through in and around a slick. and as you get closer to the shore, the base of the food chain is in the -- down in the roots of the grassy marshes. of course, we don't see those, but they form the base of the food chain for the entire marine northern gulf of mexico marine environment. plenty of opportunity for damage. don't know how bad it's going to be. >> really only beginning to see the impact. doctor, appreciate your insight. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> and here's chris with the morning's other top stories. joran van der sloot will be questioned monday by a peruvian judge. cbs news has learned more details about what police believe happened in the critical hours after her death.
8:08 am
cbs news news correspondent elaine hquijano has this report. >> reporter: they believe van der sloot was out getting coffee when flores was murdered in his hotel room. sources close to the investigation say the morning flores was killed, van der sloot left his room so he would be seen by hotel staff. he returns to the room and exits at 8:35, coffee cups in hand. at 8:36 he's seen looking around and knocks meekly on the door. he walks away, comes back a minute later and quickly looks up at the surveillance camera before walking out of frame. at 8:39 with a porter who opens the door for him. >> the fact of the matter is he's clearly attempting to create a rouse to suggest he wasn't in the room at the time miss flores was killed. >> reporter: cbs news has obtained this document revealing what van der sloot told
8:09 am
authorities in chile when he was apprehended there. it says van der sloot turned himself in voluntarily, believing he would avoid peruvian justice and be sent directly back to aruba where he remains the prime support in natalee holloway's disappearance. now a peruvian judge is said to interrogate van der sloot monday. >> van der sloot is held in a high security prison that is definitely no walk in the park. so, what is life like for him there right now? joining me now is ex-con larry levine. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what advice would you give joran van der sloot if he came to you and said, how am i going to make it in a place like this? >> i'd tell him, you're not going to make a dangerous place. it's kind of like the u.s. pen ten tear in illinois, murderers
8:10 am
there, bad people. the problem he's facing is that the father of stephany, the girl that was killed, this is a prominent person. and this is an impoverished prison. you pay off the right people, you know, someone will stick a knife right in the guy. they'll be lining up to kill him. he has no hope. he has no chance. and i could give advice to his mother that i would go out and buy a black dress and get ready for the funeral because it's going to be all over pretty soon. >> so, let me get this right. you say he doesn't stand a chance in this place. is there any chance that he's being interrogated today. he's now isolated somewhat, but these prisons are a lot different. we've heard a lot about this place and how the conditions are deplorable. even though he's in isolation -- he's thoen he's in isolation, does that save him? >> he's in the special housing unit. that's what it would equate to in the united states. he's in solitary, living in a cellblock that has ten cells to it. living by himself.
8:11 am
he's got a mattress in his xrr but his existence is just about over. i peen, they can interview him all day long. peruvian justice, it's a judge that's going to hold the trial and decide his fate. it's not a jury. these things can take up to a year. it doesn't really matter if they isolate him. even in a u.s. prison, people can get to people. you know, and i talked to my buddy bobby the bookmaker in vegas, he says you can't even get a line on the guy because he's a dead man. nobody's picking up the action on this. the show's over for this kid. he needs to face the facts. >> and do you think as a form of punishment, he has said -- i mean, he wanted to escape to aruba, he hoped by turning himself in he could avoid some jail time in peru. he knows how bad this prison system is. do you think he's probably saying to himself, i don't have
8:12 am
much time and i'm not going to make it more than a couple days? >> i think he's probably -- i read a report somewhere that he's got a bible in his cell. he's probably reading the bible. and he's probably trying to plan his next move, but he doesn't have a lot of options. this isn't like the u.s. judicial system where you're innocent until proven guilty. it's the napoleon system. he probably has a lawyer he cannot understand. he's just thrown into an environment where he has no hope of survival. his existence is going to be nil. he doesn't have any money on the inside. i mean, in this prison, if you can get money on the inside, you can get drugs, you can get special food, you can get a woman if your cell. you can get just about anything you want. but he's in an isolation unit. he has nothing and he has no hope. and maybe he can trade something off for something he may have done in aruba.
8:13 am
the fact is, he's going to have to serve the sentence in peru first. my understanding is he's looking at maybe 15 years. on 15 in peru, i believe you do half of that. so 7 1/2 years. >> larry -- >> throw him in -- >> sorry, i have to cut -- >> throw him in general population and that's a whole other story. >> larry, thank you very much. i have to cut you off there. we do appreciate you taking the time this morning. >> you bet. >> larry, thank you. rebecca jarvis is at the fuse desk. how are you? >> good. how are you? >> good. >> glad to hear it. good morning to everybody standing by at home. a lot of news headlines to get to. arizona is seeking a dismissal of yet another lawsuit that seeks to overturn that state's tough new immigration law. at least fife legal challenges have been filed. and now the federal government is stepping into the controversy. cbs news correspondent joel brown reports. >> reporter: cbs news has confirmed that the federal government will challenge the controversial immigration law
8:14 am
passed in arizona last april. the revelation came from an unlikely source, secretary of state hillary clinton, who mentioned during an interview in ecuador last week that the justice department will be bringing a lawsuit against the act. arizona governor brewer was furious when she learned of the lawsuit when ecuadorian television and called the decision outrageous. our federal government should be using its legal resources to fight illegal immigration, not the law-abigd citizens of arizona. >> the federal government getting involved in this case will really ratchet up the stakes and pressure on arizona. >> reporter: the tough law requires immigrants to carry documents verifying their status. and police officers to question a person if there's a reasonable suspicion that person may be in the country illegally. opponents have taken to the streets, protesting that the law will lead to racial profiling against latinos. >> a judge will decide whether this law's unconstitutional, it's going to be appealed, could very well go up to the united
8:15 am
states supreme court. >> cbs news joel brown reporting. folks in wisconsin, illinois, indiana and michigan are cleaning up the damage from two powerful and deadly storms. winds of more than 70 miles per hour blew out windows friday at the 110-story willis tower in chicago. in south bend, indiana, trees were uprooteded and homes were damaged. the storm killed one person in michigan and hundreds of thousands of people lost their power. it's about 15 minutes after the hour. here's lonniee quinn with our first check of the weather.

8:19 am
welcome back. with so many choices at the store or supermarket, which brand to buy can be a bit daunting. going for the security of a name brand may cost you extra, but is it worth it? when the generic or store brand is sitting there right there. robin marino, author of "practical posh" joins us.
8:20 am
let's go with the drugs, advil, benadryl. >> when it comes to pain relievers and over-the-counter medicines there's no different in generic versus store brand in terms of quality, strength and safety. >> are people so bent on seeing the label? >> you know what happens? there's active ingredients. the active ingredient in advil is ibuprofen. so people automatically assume, oh, i'm going to get advil. you can just get ibuprofen somewhere else. we found this for $6 cheaper. >> that's a good savings. >> i think clothesing will be the tough sell for a lot of people because they're not going to go for that -- i don't want say certain stores but they want name brand -- >> you're allowed. what i do, when it comes to trendy items like this summer these cargo pant are trendy, $250, but by next year that will be the pant of 2010 so i found these at tj max for $55. it's the same wash, same cut,
8:21 am
same hipness. >> with clothing you have to relegate knowing if you go with the cheaper brand, won't last as long. if you dry clean or wash it, it will suffer there, too. >> you're very good. you know some things. >> a few things. >> exactly. when it comes to leather goods, this is something your mom or grandmother said, still holds true. you want to invest money. it's father's day, and you wanted to buy a wallet, how often do you buy wallets? not that often. this from ralph lauren is $155 and will get better with age. >> you might as well get the keeper one so you can have money in your wallet. >> but it might fall apart and your money might fall out. >> let's talk makeup. >> we call this a tie. when it comes to something like mascara, you should be switching that out every three months, so i say go drugstore. when it comes to foundation, which is the primer, you definitely want to go more expensive because it has more pigment, comes in different varieties. when you go to the drugstore you can't try on makeup to see the
8:22 am
right shade but at a department store you can. for me, that makes a huge difference. i'll spend more money there. >> note to lonnie, change mascara out have three months. you cannot skimp here. en to be graphic -- >> i agree. don't skimp. the thing these days, even to give it up to store brands, they are getting better quality, sometimes the price difference isn't that big of a deal. the price difference on these two which is store brand was like 0, 50 cents. if that's the case, go for comfy -- >> go for comfort, please. food, kind of depend? >> what i say -- you know, say, whole foods, a lot of people have their own store brands that are great. they don't have any gmos, no add additives and good quality. it's for the staples. if you want to buy gourmet cheese and all that, that's up to you. but when it comes to pasta, save some money. >> i cannot -- i can't have generic cola. >> it does taste different, i know, i know. >> and this is -- i think this
8:23 am
goes through everyone's mind every time you get gas. do you go to exxon or one of those? >> like mom and pop ones? >> i say go to the mom and pop because actually a study was down that said, essentially gas is gas. honestly, gas is gas. the thing is, it's about 20 cents cheaper when you go to sort of what you call the generic. that adds up. that's $14 a week. that's almost $200 a year. >> great advice. thank you. saving a boat load of money, too. thank you. coming up, you think you can dance? wait until you see this brazilian baby bust a move in diapers. how many of you at home can dance like this in diapers? you're watching "the early show" here on cbs. ,,,,,,,,ncer: this segment

ultimate diet log." you've got a lot of beautiful colors. it's nice you're not just telling us about the food, you're telling us how to incorporate it. we're starting off with beans or lentils. >> any type of beans. harvard university study that tracked over 90,000 women for over eight years found women who had one serving of beans -- or two servings of beans or lentils twice a week or month had a 34% lower risk of breast cancer than women who had one sebing or less a month. i recommend three cups a week. black bean tacos, one of my staples. >> this is an easy dinner to prepare. you can use canned black beans. people say, they're in a can, do i have to worry about them? >> if you rinse and drain them, you get rid of 40% sodium. tortillas, avocados. there's a special nutrient in beans that reduce breast cancer

8:41 am
shrimp with red peppers and scallions. i have to move you along quickly. leafy greens are important. do they need to be raw or can you have, say, cooked spinach and that's just as beneficial? >> cooked or raw. cooked broccoli, aim for two cups a week here. this is particularly important because this study was done in women who had breast cancer. what they found, women have the highest level of karatnoid, had a reduce of the breast cancer. which is particularly important for me because my best friend just went through breast cancer. >> we hear about tomatoes -- >> lycopene. it's better absorbed when the tomatoes are processed a little bit because it releases lycopene from tomato and concentrates it. tomato paste, sauce, a cocktail made with tomato juice.

five-time emmy winner kelsey grammer is best known for portraying dr. frasier crane, first on "cheers" and then "frasier." no character in television history has had a longer, continuous, more successful run. >> and now he's taking a sharp turn, returning to broadway in "la cage aux folles." we're thrilled, kelsey grammer is joining us for "early coffee." thank you for joining us. >> and nice to have the schedule. >> it does help, especially with the schedule you're keeping with this show, which has to be tough. >> a little daunting.
8:46 am
we're not used to working this hard, in television, certainly. the eight shows a week thing is challenging. it's like running a marathon all the time, especially matinee days. but i feel i'm back in shape. >> is it nice to be back on stage? a lot of people don't realize -- >> it's a joy. >> we shaw the show. absolutely loved it. has everyone you're close to that's seen it given you the same type of review? wow, kelsey, we didn't realize you could sing and dance as well as you've done? >> the dancing thing is a real surprise for most of my friends. i have notoriously bad feet -- well, not bad. i have challenged feet in terms of dancing, especially. but i fake it well. >> were you concerned because it's a revival, was a surevival
8:47 am
before, and were you concerned, what if we do this production and it doesn't turn out well? >> i'm away from the ravages of broadway knowledge. i had no idea whether had-t had been done recently or not. when i got here, i said, oh, my god, why would you revive this show? >> people do know you best for dr. frasier crane on "cheers," on "frasier." was there a point when you were playing frasier, you thought, i don't know how much longer i can do this? >> like after year 19. >> it's funny. it's sort of like living. you know, frasier was a character that had this unique life and individual presence in my life that was as fresh as life itself. so, you could have done it forever, i suppose. but i don't think that would be smart for an actor, honestly. i may have stayed a little too long at the party anyway. it was such a great character to play. he was as vivid and interesting from the first day to the very last. >> what was it that resonated
8:48 am
with people? for a character to survive and be as popular as frasier was for 20 years, a lot of people, they get tired of certain characters and stop watching but you just seem to have this longevity that is not seen. >> well, i think there was a vulnerability about frasier. there was a really recognizable thing for most people. you know, he failed all the time. and yet somehow he survived and succeeded in it. so, i guess it's like the every man tale, you know, where a person is met by great challenges. he sorted of meet them halfway, but he never loses his will to try to overcome. you know, i think that was the charm of it. >> there is more, like we were talk brg we came on the air, than work, as for most people. your kids, so important to you. >> absolutely. >> what are some of the things you love to do with your children, the simple joys. >> honestly, we play wii a lot.

9:03 am
progress here on a couple of fronts. let's start with the local effort here to protect barataria bay, which is very important to the fishing industry here. the officials here have been fighting for over a month to get permission to use barges to blockade the entrance of that bay to keep the oil from coming in. well, yesterday we really saw that they are making progress on that effort. they put the first 18 of those barges in place yesterday. they're testing that little bit of this wall today. and they think that if all works as planned by end of next week or so, we could see a 7,000-foot barrier, something like 60 or 63 of these barges lined end to end and keeping oil out of the bay. the containment system, meanwhile, out in the gulf is doing well. it's now collecting about a million gallons of that gushing oil a day. of course, there's 1.5 to 2.5 million gallons coming out of the well, but the coast guard says bit end of this month, june 30th, we should see about 2 million gallons a day being
9:04 am
collected. so, if they're not at the top end of the estimates, we could actually be collecting almost all, if not all, of the oil coming out by the end of the month. that's certainly good news. aus the clean-up efforts continue. and the effort to drill that relief well, which is the ultimate solution to this, which will shut down the gushing well, that effort's going ahead of schedule. they're only 200 feet horizontally from the pipe. things will slow down a little bit as they try to intersect the gushing well. all of those things working as planned finally, which is certainly good news here as the oil and this disaster just continues. >> thanks so much. good to hear a different side of the story from you down if grand isle. don teague, cbs news correspondent from louisiana this morning. cbs news has learned that the company formerly known as blackwater has won a $120 million state department contract to provide security services in afghanistan. a unit of the company, u.s.
9:05 am
training center, will provide, quote, protective security services at two new u.s. consulates. the contract was awarded as the justice department is looking into bringing a case against five blackwater guards who open fire on a crowded street in baghdad, iraq, in 2007. wall street ended the week with healthy gains. the second week in a row. by friday it finished at 10450, up 2.5% for the week. investors looked past fears of europe's debt cries. they face a flood of economic news this week which is expected to keep trading very choppy. now over to wragge. >> thank you very much. still no sign of a 7-year-old portland, oregon, boy, who vanished without a trace over two weeks ago. while police aren't saying much, they are focusing on his stepmother. cbs news correspondent bill whitaker has this report. >> reporter: as the investigation into the disappearance of 7-year-old kyrom horman enters the third week, authorities are asking the
9:06 am
public about information about his stepmother the day he disappeared from school. >> terry is the last known person who have seen kyron before he disappeared. >> reporter: she told authorities she drove kyron to the skyline school on june 4th in this ford f-250 truck and watched him walk toward his classroom at 8:00 a.m. police reportedly have reviewed her cell phone records, but won't say whether she is a person of interest in this case. >> we're still every investigative parameter. i can't say for certainty it wasn't stranger. >> reporter: even after hundreds of searchers skourd the area around the school, authorities on friday asked everyone at the school on june 4th to again report their whereabouts during school hours, even if they've been interviewed already. a flier showing photos of terry horman and a ford truck was released in an attempt to jog witnesses' memories. in the meantime, kyron's family
9:07 am
issued this statement. >> father's day is sunday. we won't have kyron around to hug and hold. it hurts us deeply. >> reporter: bill whitaker, los angeles. pat brown has analyzed the event of her faek, including the bizarre facebook posts. good morning. >> good morning. >> tell us about the facebook post. >> i think the one that got everybody is when the stepmother wrote, hitting the gym, and everyone went, wait a minute, you're going to the gym? little boy's gone missing and you're going to the gym. how could you think of going to the gym? i mean, that just really stunned everybody. that's what started everything on facebook where people started pointing fingers at the stepmother thinking something's wrong here. >> let's talk about terry horman, the step mom. police say she'sen a person of interest but te are distributing flyers, pictures of her. i would think for most, all arrows point to the step mom.
9:08 am
why is that? >> well, i have to say that the police going and putting flyers out with the stepmother's picture on it and her car speaks volumes that she is, absolutely, a person of interest. as a matter of fact, i haven't seen this done hardly in any case before, so they are truly looking at her and wanting to know exactly -- something must have gone wrong. there must be red flags, maybe the cell phone records aren't matching, her story isn't matching. they must be thinking this woman -- they either have to clear her or find out she was actually truly involved. they're also saying, by the way, it could be stranger to stranger crime but chances are very low. what does that say? >> the family has remained tight-lipped here. how odd is this? this young man has been missing two weeks. there's been very little call to, i guess, to the media, to the public, to get out there and help find this boy. what does that say to you? >> again, chris, this is pretty unusual behavior. my experience, almost every family wants to get before the
9:09 am
camera. they want to beg for everybody's help because the only thing they care about is getting their child back. they'll go and they'll talk as many times as you can get them on television, they'll talk, even if they're going to appoint somebody as a spokesperson because they're shy or people who feel they cannot get in front of the camera, they'll appoint a family spokesperson to do it. but to be silent and not seem to be involved is one of those big red flags that went up to the public. >> do you think the police know something they're not letting on right now? >> i think they must know a lot. i find the fact they put that flier out there very, very strange unless they have something they're looking at. they want to know who saw the stepmother and who saw her vehicle because they are focused on her as the number one person of interest. >> we'll continue to follow this story. pat, thank you for joining us from d.c. pat brown, everyone. now, it is about nine minutes after the hour. you know what that means? it means lonnie quinn is out on the plaza with some very special guests. good to see you. >> i've got all kind of special guests. nice seeing you, my friend. look at all the smiling facing.
