Ancestors name is just oh, my gosh. Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Schieffer good evening. Im pob schieffer. Well, the story of ray rice and the nfl just wont go away. Just yesterday, nfl commissioner Roger Goodell told our Norah Odonnell that to the best of his knowledge, it was not until this week that anyone in his office had seen the horrific video that showed rice beating his future wife unconscious. Well, tonight, the Associated Press says a Law Enforcement official says he sent the video to the League Offices back in april. Norah is back with us tonight. Norah. Reporter good evening, bob. You remember the commissioner told us yesterday they hadnt seen the tape because Law Enforcement wouldnt turn it over. Well, tonight, a Law Enforcement official is telling the Associated Press he in fact sent the videotape of ray rice beating his girlfriend back in april. That was five months ago, before the first punishment of rice was handed down by the nfl. Now, the Associated Press also says that this Law Enforcement official played a voice mail from an nfl phone number where someone expressed thanks for the tapes arrival and said, youre right. Its terrible. Apparently, no one from the nfl ever followed up. And its not clear if the tape was ever viewed within the nfl. Bob, if this report is true, it orises some questions about what commissioner Roger Goodell told us yesterda. So did anyone in the nfl see this second videotape before monday . No. Reporter no one in the nfl . No one in the nfl, to my knowledge. And i have been asked that same quetion, and the answer to that is no. We were not granted that. We were told that, that was not something we would have access to. On multiple occasions we asked for it, and on multiple occasions we were told no. Reporter you know there are people saying they just dont buy that, that no one in the nfl had seen this tape. Well, thats a fact. We are cooperative. We are supportive. We will ask for any pertinent information that we can have access to, but we cant force them to provide any information. Reporter and tonight, the nfl said in a statement, we have no knowledge of this. We are not aware of anyone in our office who possessed or saw the video before it was made public on monday. Bob, an official telling me that what they this new report doesnt change, in their words what they said yesterday. They also said the source telling me that this report and the timing of it is quote, unquote fishy, that the law t forcement official is anonymous, and if they sent this video back in april, why are we only hearing about it now . But the source did add that they are doing a full investigation. Theyve directed their Security Department to look into this. And if there is a delivery sitting under someones desk, there will be consequences. Schieffer well, how is it, norah, that with the 1,000 employees they have, how is it they can say that they dont think anybody saw it . Reporter this is the critical question. How does the nfl know that of all of its employees that no one saw it . They said thats what theyre looking into. I said how do you know . And then one source admitted to me, well, we dont. Schieffer all right, norah. Norah will have, of course, a lot more on this tomorrow morning on cbs this morning. Today, 12 members of the house judiciary committee, all democrats, wrote goodell, demanding to know how aggressively the league investigated the rice attack, and even before those latest allegations, the National Association for women called on goodell today to resign. We want to turn now to the president s speech tonight and on the eve of the 13th anniversary of the 9 11, mr. Obama goes on television to tell us his latest thinking on how to combat the threat posed by the isis terrorists. Every indication is hell order a wider and a moreintense Bombing Campaign into Northern Iraq and syria. We have a team of correspondents s vering this story. And we go first to our chief White House Correspondent major garrett. Major . Reporter bob, president obama will tell the nation tonight the u. S. Objective is to first degrade and ultimately destroy isis, also known as isil. In an excerpt just released by the white house, the president will also say the strategy will not involve american combat troops fighting on foreign soil. This Counterterrorism Campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out isil wherever they exist using our air power and our support for Partner Forces on the ground. The president is calling for a multifront campaign against isis. More airstrikes to help iraqi and Kurdish Forces retake territory in Northern Iraq. There have been 154 strikes so far. The daily frequency could double or triple. The air war will expand to syria but not until there is better intelligence on isis targets there. And the u. S. Will launch a more aggressive effort to train and equip moderate rebel forces fighting isis inside syria. In an oval Office Phone Call with saudi arabias king abdullah, the president secured the kingdoms support for that training. The president always pressed congress for funds and Legal Authority to carry out that part of the strategy. But the president s critics, including former Vice President dick cheney, say he has been too cautious. Too often threats and aggression have been met with stern declarations of inaction by the United States. Supported by lengthy explanations of our inability to shape events. Reporter the president s speech will attempt to erase any doubt about what his strategy is against isis. But it will leave, bob, Unanswered Questions about cost and duration, leaving the White House Open to criticism that it is asking the country and congress to write a blank check for an openended military campaign against isis. Schieffer okay, well, thank you very much, major. Cbs will, of course, broadcast the president s speech at 9 00 eastern time, 8 00 central. That is 6 00 in the west. The u. S. Airstrikes in iraq that began a month ago saved thousands of refugees trapped by isis on mount sinjar and stopped the isis advance on the kurdish capital of erbil. Scott pelley is there tonight on assignment for 60 minutes. Scott. Pelley bob, kurdistan is a semiindependent region in Northern Iraq. It has its own military, called the peshmerga, and today, we found them eyetoeye with isis. The isis advance stopped just short of lieutenant mohammads bridge. Thats the isis flag on one end, and mohammads men on the other. Why is this bridge so important . This is the road to kirkuk, he told us. Kirkuk is the gateway to iraqs oil fields. Do you have orders to destroy this bridge if it comes to that . No, mohammad said, the people will need the bridge. No one is going to take my bridge. He couldnt have said that a month ago when these troops were forced back toward the capital erbil. But now, the American Air Campaign means that isis cant mass its forces or move with any speed. Thanks to the u. S. Airstrikes, the peshmerga are now on the offensive and eventually, the peshmerga will be moving toward mosul, which is an occupied city of more than 1. 5 Million People. These are the pictures coming out of mosul these days. It is chaos, according to a doctor we found who is moving in and out of the city. We wont identify him for his safety. Mosul is like a big prison with limited water and gas, he told us. Electricity only shows up once every two days. The people have no work. Theres a massive shortage of medicine. What are some of the rules in mosul today that people have to live under because of isis . They control life, clothing, everything in a very harsh way, very strict, and very strict punishments. Isis is posting those punishments online, boasting of mass executions of people who refuse to convert to its extremist view of islam. Sayid told us that last month, isis rounded up more than 100 men in his village and told them they were being taken to a refugee camp. It turned out to be a short trip to a mass grave. They told us to lie flat on the ground, he said, and then they started firing all kinds of guns. His leg was hit three times. A bullet grazed his neck. When those bullets began to hit you, you must have thought you were dead. When i was hit, i didnt want to make a sound because anyone who made a noise, theyd come over and shoot them in the head. When it was all over, sayid crawled out of the grave. Back at the bridge, lieutenant mohammads men cant advance because theyre lightly armed. Tonight, the kurds are asking the white house for tanks and artillery to break lines like this. It could be a long commitment. War is like a bridge once youre on it, you cant get off until you see it through. Tonight, 4. 5 Million People live under isis control. U. S. Secretary of state john kerry paid an unannounced visit to baghdad today. He met with the new unity government there. Kerry announced that the United States will help fund a new Iraqi National guard in the rdght against isis. Thats the news from iraq tonight. With the rest of the world news, well go to Bob Schieffer back in new york. Schieffer thanks, scott. Our Homeland Security correspondent bob orr met today with c. I. A. Director john brennan at c. I. A. Headquarters and as youll hear, brennan painted a grim picture as he described the threat posed by isis. They have pillaged and raped and plundered and taken captive men, women, and children, and they have just mowed down tribes and families. They are evil incarnate. Reporter this is a terrorist organization with an army and heavy weapons and safe operating space. Does that make it more dangerous than al qaeda was prior to 9 11 . I think it certainly makes it more destabilizing to the region as a whole, and we know that isil is looking beyond the area right now that they control, to carry out attacks, and they have even said publicly and threatened the United States and the west with attacks. Reporter the president has pledged to degrade and destroy isis. Do you have the intelligence Resources Available and in place to accomplish that mission . I think we certainly have the determination and now we have the agreement of a number of partners worldwide to Work Together to crush isil. Reporter brennan told us a priority is taking out terrorist leaders including isis commander abu bakr albaghdadi, but the u. S. Will need specific intelligence to hit highvalue targets. So these efforts to try to find and bring to justice the individuals responsible for some of these attacks, its a lengthy process. And i think thats one of the things that we have to understand. Their time will come, and we are going to make sure that were able to be relentless in our pursuit of them. Reporter one of your predecessors, george tenet, famously said after 9 11, that as he looked back on the summer of 01, the red lights were blinking everywhere. In this summer of 2014, do you see any lights blinking . The terrorist activities right now in iraq and syria are very, very worrisome. So i think the lights may be blinking red as far as it is time to make sure that its not able to continue along its current path. Reporter but brennan says the threat extends beyond isis, al qaeda, and syria and the al qaeda affiliate in yemen, bob, are both actively plotting to hit the homeland if and when they can.
