Holly, good morning. Reporter good morning, charlie and norah. There are a lot of unfolding events this morning here in ukraine. The countrys Parliament Says its former president is responsible for the deaths of 100 citizens. The big question for now is who is actually in charge here . At the residence of former president Viktor Yanukovych divers recovered these documents, they believe theyre proof of the ousted president s corruption and greed. We found ukraines parliament guarded by masked men armed with clubs, the same hardcore protesters who battled with riot Police Last Week before the former president fled ukraines capital by helicopter. Do you think things are going to get better now that yanukovych has left . He killed ukrainian people. He killed ukrainian boys. Reporter with these young men out for revenge, there are fears of a power vacuum in ukraine. In the countrys south there have already been clashes between those who helped topple the former leader and others who still support him.

New word this morning of a deadly attack in nigeria, suspected islamic militants killed dozens of students at a college in the northeastern part of the country.

The man known as el chapo is chicagos public enemy number one. Prosecutors around the country are hoping to put drug kingopinion Joaquin Guzman on trial. Those cities include el paso san diego, los angeles, and new york. Guzman is being held at a prison west of mexico city and could be tried there. Our major garret asked chicago mayor raumhm emanual where he should face justice. Thats the federal governments responsibility. Theyll do whats right. Im interested in what ive got to do for the city of chicago. Cbs news analyst Rikki Klieman is a former criminal trial lawyer. Extradition may come some years from now. After all, mexico has the body. When you possess the body you get to go first. The problem, charlie and norah, we think about in the United States is that he has escaped from a mexican prison before. So, youre dealing with the issue of mexico wanting to show supremacy, that they have security, that they can be without corruption and of course, what we know about guzman is he may be an equal opportunity corrupter. That he could corrupt in mexico and in the United States as well. In fact, i think he escaped in a Laundry Basket the last time around. Why do they want him here in the United States . Just so he wont escape or for other reasons, too . Yes of course we would like to have the security of having him in a maximum security facility here where we feel that he would not corrupt and could not the escape. But we have feelings about this man. If you look at chicago, calling him public enemy number one, we havent heard that since al capone. This is a man who has flooded the United States with drugs, at least by the allegations, and many cities want him. The question is which one would get him eventually. Whats also fascinating about this, i read this morning, this depends how much the u. S. Government president Obama Presses the president of mexico. This goes all the way to the top. This is a diplomatic situation and is sensitive, indeed. Remember, they got him in mechanics mexico. You got him with those mexican marines. If they can guard him, hes not getting out. It ought to be said that the Mexican Government having barely caught him about ten days ago caught him. Yes. For all the talks of corruption they got their man. When you look at these mexican marines, the mexican navy, it makes mexico proud. They want to show that they can do the right thing. Very sensitive negotiations. Thank you. Thank you.

The prognosis weve seen so far is not good. Reporter while her parents are grateful to the doctors theyre still coming to terms with her condition. Daytoday getting dressed, tying her sures, those things that she normally would be learning right now or would be doing, well have to find a new way of of doing. Reporter van haren and his team have been unable to identify the cause of the illness. Those sickened are not responding well to medication. Still, he cautions this is rare. This is not an entirely new phenomena. The frequency of the cases were seeing right now appears to represent to us at least a slight increase from what is normal.

I think of milk its one of the best things you can drink after working out is actually a glass of skim milk. Most peep think its having a gatorade or powerade. Will the new Campaign Work . I think the food and Beverage Market in general is that you only drink and eat so much. Not like shoes. You could buy a million pairs of shoes you dont have to wear them. Theyre competing with all the beverages to get you to drink it. The idea is, yes, this is better than a sports drink. If people arent drinking milk what kinds of drinks are they moving to . Milk has a traditional view towards kids you know. Its kind of hard to get adults into the mindset. I think this way, the sports idea is trying to get people to drink milk.

I am charlie rose with gayle king and norah odonnell. The Obama Administration on the defensive this morning after proposing massive defense cuts and even some democrats in congress question whether the plan will go through. Chuck hagel laid out the proposals yesterday, and they include shrinking the army to less than 450,000 soldiers and thats the smallest force since before the United States entered world war ii. Hagel believes the cuts are needed to deal with cyber attacks. We are repositioning to focus on the strategic challenges that will define our military. A world is growing more threatening to the United States. Among the hot button issues cuts to the troops paychecks and benefits and some call it unfair after more than a decade of combat deployments. And then temperatures in minnesota below zero this morning, and its expected to be that cold in chicago by thursday. Megan is watching the mercury drop.

A recent survey finds 85 of americans worry about privacy when it comes to mobile apps, but the tech work is looking at a possible answer. Our chip reid got a look at it. The advertisement for a blackphone. Why does the world need blackphone . Because the world needs privacy. Thats the companys ceo and cofounder. It may look like an android on the outside but on the inside, blackphone runs on a customized operating system that is entirely encrypted. Your everyday walking through life is all inencrypted and secure. They look at protecting from many things. Those apps are accessing their contact list and accessing their phone usage, and their data usage and locations. Jason hung is a professor at Carnegie Mellons human computer interaction institute, one of the stop ranked departments of its kind.

The free brightest flashlight app are selling user location to places. The minute you download any app and begin to use it it will pop up and say this app is trying to access your contacts. Last week we sat down with the companys chief product officer for a look at the blackphone up and running for the first time. That is the blackphone. This is prototype number 1. You just got it. Yeah, it just arrived from spain an hour and a half ago. The key to the capabilities lies here in the phones security center. What we can do is say, i dont want Photo Gallery to get my precise location from gps, i will turn it off. You are not forced to accept an all or nothing list of permissions, and you can fine tune. I have heard it described as nsa proof. Is anything nsa proof with all their resources . No there is nothing today other than taking your phone and throwing it in the potomac. Do you envision everybody having your phones in the near future . We are not looking for world domination. We asked jason hong who he thinks will buy the blackphone at 629. Its been a tough market to try and convince people to pay for privacy. What we are doing is absolute shrae shaking up this system. With it comes applause as well as people wanting to steam roll us. Who wants to steam roll you . I would suspect just about everybody who makes money off of your data. For cbs this morning, chip reid, washington. Are you guys placing your order . Well i think it should press other phones to make additional security precautions or options for people yeah. I like that option. I do too. I do too.

As jim aboutlele rod reports by any name muhammad ali is still known as the greatest. Reporter cassius clay was not a complete unknown. He had won a gold medal in the 1960 mr. Speaker after all. But no one had the idea that the 22yearold boxer step into the ring 50 years ago tonight in miami beach would end up having such a profound effect on American Culture in the decades to follow as muhammad ali. Dont even mention that defeat to me reporter hardly anyone gave a challenger a chance against sonny liston. A cold brutal exconwith a devastating left hook. Even clays ring side physician fight doctor Ferdie Pacheco was concerned. You were concerned liston was going to hurt him . Not hurt him. Kill him. Reporter taunted liston all the way up. Tonight, somebody will die at ring side. He was a promoters dream. Reporter at age 17 Suzanne Dundee Bonner was working with her father famed promoter chris dundee. He felt promoted himself. He knew what to say and when to say it. Reporter clay had no chance. Cassius clay is the only man who thinks hes going to win. Reporter but clay surprised no one other than liston. Dancing, moving with jab after jab. He ran around ran this way and that way. He looked like a crazy fighter. A little crazy. Reporter after six rounds sonny liston had had enough. Spitting out his mouthpiece before the seventh. The fight was over but the new champ was just getting started. Whats going through your head . Sheer, insane joy. Reporter this young africanamerican fighting in the south that still kept the best hotel, offlimits to him scolded the rights. This was such a big moment culturally for a black man to lean out over the ropes and tell all these white reporters, eat your words. Yeah. Im free . Yeah. Huge. It was huge and it was the start. Reporter the next day clay announce head was a muslim. No secret to many in miami who had seen malcolm x visiting the training sessions. Cassius clay was now muhammad ali.

Reporter a young boxer had gone into the ring a figure who would transcend sports to become the most recognizable face in the world during a time of enormous racial and social upheaval had emerged from it. In retrospect i believe thats the moment when the 1960s began. Here was this confluence of what would be race religion politics, the civil rights struggle. And it exploded from there. It was a memorable night. Its now 50 years. Well, its still thrilling to me. Reporter in the fourth round, a substance sunny liston was using to close cuts got into alis eyes. He was blinded and wanted to quit. His cornerman said no and pushed him out to the fifth round.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Coming up in this half hour the most popular comedy on tv makes nerds very cool. Kaley cuocosweeting of the Big Bang Theory is in the green room. Thats you mrs. Sweeting. This morning, shes sitting next to a real physicist, our michio kaku. Hes learned more about the human brain in the last five years than all of history. He shows Amazing Things that our mind is capable of doing. Right now, the Morning Headlines from around the globe. The wall street journal says hyundai, toyota and honda plan to roll out cars powered by Hydrogen Fuel cells. Theyre expected to challenge electric vehicles. The move made mean zero emissions in new york and california. Baseball designed to catch catchers it prevents base runners from deliberately crashing into them at home plate. Buster poseny broke his leg in a 2011 collision. Not all agree with the new policy. Somech catchers say being hit at home is part of the game. And a gem found on a sheep rank is the oldest known piece on earth. The crystal was after earth was capable of sustaining life much earlier than we thought. Technology gives us the ability to study the human mind like never before. That includes our dreams. Dreams they feel real. And only when you wake up do we realize that something was actually strange. Let me ask you a question you never really remember the beginning of a dream, do you . You always wind up right in the middle of whats going on . I guess, yeah. So how did we end up here . Remember that movie inception, the idea of recording and watching your dreams may not be so much farfetched. Cbs contributor michio kaku writes a book the physics of the mind. Hello, professor. Good morning. Congratulations on your latest book. Thank you. You write that something that sits on our shoulders is the most sophisticated on the we know on the universe. I read that im like wow. Thats right. The two greatest mysteries all science, the origin of the universe outer space. And then innerspace. Whats shutting on your shoulders. It only consumes about 40 watts of power, and yet, it exceeds the capability of any computer on earth. We take it for granted. So why is a physicist writing about neuroscience . When is were a kid i youve to read on reading objectsly thinking. I thought why bother to flunk a College Course when you it can hit the play button and learn it. Today, we can actually do many of the feats of science fiction. This is incredible. In the last 10 15 years weve done more with the human brain than in all of human history. Lets get specific because thats what your book really talks about. Communicating telepathically. The idea that you could just speak and communicate with your computer or another human being. You say thats being done in in labs . Thats right. Even today, you were walk into a room, the room will sense your thoughts. Turn on the lights. Adjust the temperature, turn on a computer. And then people are paralyzed like vegetables inside their paralyzed bodies. We can put a chip in a brain, connect it to a laptop computer. These people can read emails, search the web, operate their wheelchair, operate Household Appliances and operate mcarms. The pentagon has, for example, millions of dollars to take veterans of the iraq and Afghanistan War to hook their minds to exoskeletons to have the ability to move that. Where are they doing . For example, Johns Hopkins brown university. Many of the sensors, youre talking about hookinging up the brain to a computer. Even stephen hawking, my colleague, hes totally paralyzed. Theres a chip in his glass, right frame, that allows him to think and then type because hes lost total control over all of his bodily functions. 60 minutes has done a number of reports about this and its fascinating stuff. But you even go beyond that and suggest that we may some day be able to take a smart pill . Thats right. We begin to understand the whole process of memory. Even though there are savants, sometimes, youre hit in the head sometimes, you bump the head severely in the left temporal lobby and suddenly you have outstanding mathematic calal abilities. Dont hit yourself on the head after this. But it happened several times in the past. We understand how the brain can do this. These people have forgotten how to forget. The brain learns and then forgets. We think that the forgetting mechanism is broken. Its like a tape recorder that keeps on tape recording and then fails. You talk about being a little boy you that loved flash gourd hoon is a futuristic person. And you see yourself as a futurist, too. What excites you the most when you look down the horizon. What youre talking about is mindboggling to me . Yeah, were talking about taking the thinking brain and put it to work. How soon do you see that happening . First of all, were in the initial stages of this. Initial stages of creating exoskeletons. The first uploaded memory was done last year in animal studies. To upload simple memories into mice and eventually primates. And then eventually youll get the College Scores by hitting a play bunt. Whats the difference between the brain and the mind . The brain is sort of like wetware. Not hardware, but wetware. It has software and the program. The program is the mind. Now well be able to see of the mind in action you see the thoughts change back and forth like a pingpong ball. I heard kaley cuoco in the green room ask you to be on the Big Bang Theory you may want to think about that . Ill join the legion of nerds. Okay. Thank you, professor michio kaka. Lots of look. Richard gold and bob Williams Furniture can be found in the famous of as Michelle Williams learns the most remarkable part of the company is something many customers never see.

Reporter but they put a lot of thought into how they wanted to run their business. With 600 people they now employ. We do really believe less green. More personal responsibility.

Its a global economy, and were all a part of it. And if everybody can just raise the bar just a little bit, whether its the way we all interact or the way we treat each other is going to make the world a better place.
