Information out there. We would like to see it and know what it is. We would like to get it, cooperatively if possible. Reporter a lawyer for the committee met yesterday with the u. S. Attorneys office which is also looking into the lane closures. Based on that meeting, the investigation will continue. Axelrod elaine, thank you. Lets bring in cbs news political director John Dickerson in washington. John, everyones trying to digest these latest developments and understand the significance. What do you see . Well, David Wildstein is the official who ordered the lane closings, so when he says he has a version of events that contradicts governor christies it creates tremontors but the claims hes making are quite incomplete. The central question of this matter is whether governor christie ordered the lane closures on the George Washington bridge as political retribution or did he know about it . No evidence suggests either of those things is true, and what David Wildstein has provided so far doesnt suggest its true. What he is saying is that he can contradict what governor christie has said about the lane closures once they were under way. If there is a discrepancy, that could call the governors credibility into question, which could be politically damaging, but right now, there is no evidence to back up mr. Wildsteins claim. So it could be damaging to governor christie or it could just be a big bluff. Axelrod but to gauge consequences on political futures for governor christie, you have to gauge both as governor and potential president ial candidate. I think the political future for governor christie, for bothef those jobs, is kind of the same. And that will be determined by these investigations. Once theyre all over, if it turns out he didnt have a role in ordering this retribution, then he might be able to live to fight another day if, going through two months of investigations his credibility isnt too damaged. Axelrod John Dickerson in washington, thank you. Driving to the super bowl in new jersey tomorrow will be next to impossible, which is exactly how those in charge of security have designed it. Terrell brown has been looking at the extraordinary measures being taken for the first super bowl ever in the new york metropolitan area. Reporter todays security teams locked down metlife stadium. Every vehicle that approaches is stopped and screened and trucks will be xrayed by agents from the u. S. Customs and border protection. Chief mccabe. Those machines can look deep inside any kind of truck and if theres something there you want us to find it before it gets anywhere near the stadium roemer it were fans can expect airporttype screeningst gates, and black hawk helicopters and military jet will enforce a nofly zone in the skies above. With only 12,000 parking passes issued and no taxis allowed near the stadium, most the 80 fans going to the game have to use Public Transportation to get there. Louis koumoutsos knows buses and trains are a potential terror target. The focus is get the people identified, get them properly identified with their tickets, make sure they get from point a to point b, and they get back from point b, into point awhere they wish to go. Reporter Michael Galvez flew in from los angeles. I feel very safe. Theres a lot of n. Y. P. D. Around. We saw homeland security. Its a great vibe. Everyone is happy. Im not worried about security at all. Reporter for those who can afford it, teterboro airport, just minutes from the stadium, has become the red carpet runway of private planes carrying vip guests, so many that the Port Authority mandated a reservation system and a landing fee of 250 per aircraft to cover costs. At this point, Law Enforcement officials tell us there are no known threats aimed at the super bowl. And even with the very visible security presence, there will be hundreds of undercover officers watching fans in and around the stadium and along transit routes, jim. Jim. Axelrod now to the winter Olympic Games in sochi, russia. Just six days to go until the opening ceremonies, and the russians are insisting loudly and clearly that all who attend will be safe. As Mark Phillips reports from sochi tonight, gay rights activists are not so sure. Reporter the olympic facilities are ready, the athletes have begun to arrive, the security, the russians say, is in place. And dimitri chernyshenko, the czar of these games, is head of sochis organizing Committee Just wants the games to begin. Sochi likely is the most secure and safe place in the world. Reporter safe, maybe, but these demonstrators in paris today are just the latest to say sochi is not free if youre gay or lesbian. Russias antigay propaganda laws are an issue that wont go away, no matter how much the games organizers would like it to. You know, its just rumors and the people trying to use the games as the most covered and attractive event in the world. And using this to promote some interest. Reporter the gay and human rights activists have long made their objections known to what they see as russiaay antigay laws. Now theyre trying to hit the russians in the pocketbook. They have written an open letter to the games Big International sponsors. Theyre trying to put pressure on Companies Like cocacola, mcdonalds, and others, who pay millions to associate themselves with an Olympic Movement they say is tainted. And many athletes, including u. S. Skier ted legity, agreed. The way the world is going more and more, goes towards a more tolerant and, you know, equal society. And i think, you know, this is just an unfortunate step in the wrong direction. Reporter what the organizers hope is that once the competition begins, it, not security, not gay rights, will become the olympic story. Mark phillips, cbs news, sochi. Axelrod we have some uncommonly bad weather to show you in southern england where high tides and heavy rains are combining for dangerous conditions. As Charlie Dagata reports, the people who live there have been dealing with this for more than a month. Reporter even in a country that takes a certain pride . Enjoying great whawl opposite of rainy weather, this is different. Absolutely pain. Absolute pain, yeah, not nice. Reporter tineke bradleys village in somerset has been completely surrounded by floodwaters for weeks. This is the worst of it. Believe it or not, this river is actually a road, and people on the other side have been stranded, cut off, essentially, since christmas eve. The only way to get back and forth is by boat. And the last boat is late afternoon. Its like having a curfew. Youre not allowed out after 4 00 because theres no ways of getting out. So weve all sort of got a curfew, which is quite ridiculous, really. Reporter it was already the wettest january since records began. Thats before the heavy rains started again. Some have seen an opportunity for a new sport. But the relentless rainstorms are taking their toll. In one town we visited, theyre pumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of water into rivers that are already overflowing. And a storm surge this weekend has swollen the rivers even further. The armys been put on standby if needed, but stranded villagers have joked it might be a better idea to send the navy. Charlie dagata, cbs news, somerset, england. Axelrod a lack of water continues to be the problem in california where the states main water agency recently announced it will be restricting what it supplies to almost nothing. As carter evans shows us, the toll from the drought is already being felt i californias multibilliondollar wine industry. Reporter high in the hills above napa valley, Cane Vineyards usually looks lush in february. This winter, its exactly the opposite. Dry, dry, dry, dry, dry. Reporter Ashley Bennett is the vineyard manager. Shes worked these fields for 16 years. Have you ever seen it this bad . I havent. Right now, this is very scary to have everything look as brown as it does. Reporter how much rain do you normally get . We get about 60 inches of rain. Reporter how much did you get this year . About two. Reporter this is their water supply. It looks like a puddle in there. Right, theres not enough we could pump. Reporter last year was the driest on record in california. It hasnt let up. Give me an idea of what this hillside behind us normally looks like. Normal itly in january its vibrant grief. Reporter doug shafers family winery has weathered drought before. After the last one, they built this giant reservoir. Reporter this was your insurance policy. Yes. Reporter how concern read you that were actually walking on the bed of your reservoir right now. Im very concerned. Reporter how full should it normally be this time of year. Wed be under water. Reporter if there is no more rain they will have to rely on wells and recycled water. We get very creative in what we can do. We will have grapes this year. We will make wine this year. There will be less of it. Reporter perhaps a lot less. Shafer says fewer grapes may also mean a better quality vintage. Good wine but less of it. Thats the name of the game this year. Reporter it may be a silver lining, but vineyards in californias wine country would much rather see dark clouds. Carter evans, cbs news, napa valley.

Acquitted on appeal two years later, and then convicted yet again this past thursday. While she may have popular sentiment on her side here, what about the law . Heres jeff pegues. Reporter today, two days after the end of the trial, the italian magistrate who read the verdict in the case did something u. S. Judges never do he talked about his feelings. Judge Alessandro Nencini reportedly said he suffered over the verdict in a case he called emotionally very tough. But whether knox actually sees the inside of another italian jail cell is exwhoos at stake now, with the prospect of a battle over her extradition. Since 1984, the u. S. Has had an extradition treat weitaly. Should the Italian Government make a formal request to the state department, ultimately secretary of state john kerry may have to decide if the request is valid, and then initiate some process leading to knoxs arrest. But as legal analyst Rikki Kleiman told cbs this morning extradition cases arent only based on the law. We have extradition treaties with all kinds of countries. Were not going to, while were looking for edward snowden, suddenly make a decision politically or perhaps five years from now to say, well, this time, were not sending someone back. Reporter the state Department Says it is monitoring the situation, and it may be a year or more before the appeals in italy are exhausted in the case. For now, amanda knox says she will never go back willingly. Im going to fight this until the very end, and its not right. And its not fair.

And finally tonight, it stands to reason at least some members of the seahawks and broncos will have a little trouble getting to sleep tonight, and you cant blame Renee Fleming if she does, as well. Fleming is the super star from the world of opera who will be singling the National Anthem before the super bowl tomorrow. You often hear when the National Anthem is discussed about what a challenge it is. Its not an easy song to sing. Is that right . Oh, its so right. I mean, you know, i want to say this is not for civilians, to sing the National Anthem. Because in its most basic form, the range is an octav and a half, and to have that range so that its comfortable for men and women of all voice types is impossible. Axelrod how long have you been rehearsing for this . I have been living and breathing the National Anthem now since before the holidays. I mean, waking up in the middle of the night, more often than you can imagine going. gasps oh, my gosh. Am i going to get it right. You cant say, can i do that again . Can we repeat, that please . Axelrod are you playing offense or are you playing defense . Do you want to just survive or do you want to kill it . Thats a really good question. I would say its probably somewhere between the two. Survival is important, and i do think a lot about just getting through it. I also have to suffer a lot in advance of anything important. Thats been my lifelong coping mechanism. Its ridiculous, and i have suffered a lot this month. So. Axelrod im not sure that an overwhelming number of professional football fans have a working knowledge of opera. Mmm, yeah. Axelrod this isnt the met. Its metlife. I love that. I am so thrilled to have this opportunity to be the ambassador for my for the music that i represent. Only a small percentage of people ultimately are going to love opera and classical music, but they should be exposed to it. So if i get this large audience and this opportunity to say, see what you think, thats a gift. Axelrod i bet well be the ones getting the gift when we hear her tomorrow night.
