Inside the capitol, how the alleged plot fell apart. Good morning. Reporter good morning, and good morning to viewers in the west. With the help of an informant, the fbi became aware of this plot in its early stages. Investigators say Christopher Lee cornell had been under surveillance for months until his arrest wednesday when investigators believe this plot was in its final stages. Moments after leaving the pointblank range and gun shot 20yearold Christopher Lee cornell loan at rubata arrested by a task force. The store manager asked to cooperate before cornell arrived. Maybe a little shy, a little bashful, but talkative, and, no no. If i hadnt been warned ahead of time, there wasnt really anything about him that would have suggested he was involved in Something Like this. Reporter according to court documents, cornell was arrested after purchasing two semiautomatic riving and approximately 600 rounds of ammunition saying he had researched the construction of pipe bombs, which he planned to build, plant and detonate at and near the u. S. Capitol after which he would use firearms to shoot and kill employees and officials. Cornell had been on the fbis radar since last summer when an informant told them that cornell wanted to carry out an attack on u. S. Soil in support of isis. Cornell was active online under an alias where he posted statements and videos in support of the terrorist network.

S. Capitol. Gayle . All right. Good to know. Thank you, jeff. This morning, there is a huge shakeup at the secret service after recent Security Breaches. It is the biggest since acting director Joseph Clancy was brought in last fall to fix the troubled agency. It comes four months after a man jumped the white house fence and actually got inside the executive mansion. Bill plante is at the white house with the effort to reshape the secret service. Bill, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Thats right. It is a drastic overall at the top levels of this agency. There were four assistant directors told that they must either resign retire or seek reassignment within the department of Homeland Security. A fifth senior manager has already announced his retirement. Acting director Joseph Clancy announced the moves in a statement wednesday. Saying change is necessary to gain a fresh perspective on how we conduct business. I found the findings devastating. Reporter appearing before a Congressional Panel in November Clancy said that repairing trust within the agency was one of his top priorities. Identified three main areas of concern. One was staffing. One was training. And obviously the morale as well. Reporter the House Cleaning comes after a series of embarrassments for the agency. Everybody, out. Right now.

You have a major morale problem, and this is why. Reporter a report by an independent Commission Last month also called for new leadership at the agency. Saying it was too insular and needs to strengthen a culture of accountability. The rank and file and eve rch very senior members do not have confidence that discipline is imposed in a fair and consistent manner. Congressman release add statement applauding the personnel moves but the secret service is still without a permanent director. The independent panel recommended that it would be someone with a Law Enforcement or military background, but from outside the agency. Bill thanks. Now the latest on the french terror attacks.

The two leaders wrote in the times of london we will not be cowered by extremist, we will defeat the killers and distorted ideology which tries to justify the murder of incidents. New information on the man who killed four peoples at a kosher market. In paris with a new aedition of the Charlie Hebdo magazine sold out in a matter of hours once again. Reporter good morning. Thats right. A print edition of several hundred thousands copies that came off the presses overnight distributed by dawn and were flying off the shelves immediately. By midmorning, the sign says it all. No more charlie. See ya tomorrow. Its now six days since the attack at the kosher supermarket. These photos only just released show coulibaly a convicted bank robber forcing hostages to destroy the security cameras. He didnt realize the pictures would survive because they were stored remotely. Over the weekend, police found coulibalys hideout in a paris suburb with a whole arsenal inside. After their Successful Operation to free the hostages last friday, the police are enjoying a surge of Popular Support in france. But theyll be facing hard questions about why they didnt pick up warning signs from men with long criminal histories and radical sympathies. [ gunfire ] in the days before their attack the kouachi brothers had stolen a car, bought guns and snooped around to find out when the magazine staff held its weekly meeting. This professor addvises the french government and says alarm bell shos have rung. Two brothers buying hoods, college in a college this was missed by the french intelligence.

More than half of americans are feeling better about the economy this morning. A new cbs news poll shows 56 of the economy is in good shape, up from 40 in october and from just 5 in 2009. Retail sales from december however do in the reflect that confidence. Sales much weaker than expected down about 1 from november. It was the largest monthly decline in 11 months. The dow dipped more than 186 points yesterday and it is down even more this morning. Cbs News Business analyst joe schlessner is with us. Good morning. Good morning. Tell us about retail sales and what do we read from them . We expected sales a the gas stations would be down by 6. 5 from the previous month because prices were down. One thing, okay thats okay. What about Everything Else . Well, when you look at other areas, autos down. 07 . Building ging material sales down and curious, the month of debt sales at electronic sales down 1. 6 . Pull the volatile categories ought, auto gases building materials, we still saw sales down 0. 4 and that was very curious to economists. And rattled markets. Four Straight Days of losses. What about earnings . What else is in the future . I still think the main concern is about growth and whether the entire glory is slowing down. Yesterday morning before the opening, the world bank reduced its Global Growth estimate to 3 from 3. 4 . We also saw copper dive to levels not seen in 5. 5 years. Why do we care about copper . Well, copper can often be a predictor of the worldwide economy, because its used in so many sectors. So i still think its all about the growth. So the prices of oil were up yesterday, but still federal officials are concerned about the dip. Why . Well, its interesting, because what were looking at is, yes, oil and gas can be down temporarily, but what fed officials are going to monitor especially today and tomorrow well get inflation data out, whether the prices of other things are going down. Weve seen deflation pop up in europe and japan. The biggest fear is that comes across the ocean into the United States deflation is pernicious and dangerous for an economy. One of the articles that caught my eye was the Mortgage Applications rose 49 in the week i mean wow a great beneficiary. The bond market has been soaring. The price of bonds goes up. Interest rates go down. If you waited to refinance, now may be a good time. 30year Mortgage Rates are back below 4 . That could be a bownanza for homeowners. I remember when it was 6 or 7 . Below 4 sounds great. Thank you so much. Today president obama calls on congress to guarantee paid sick leave for american workers. The Healthy Families act would allow employees to earn up to seven paid days off for illness each year. The president wants congress to spend 2. 2 billion to help states develop paid leave programs and he will also take executive action signing a president ial memo to give at least six weeks of paid time off for federal workers with a new child. The white house says there are 43 million private Sector Workers that cant take a sick day without losing pay. And battle between congress and the Internal Revenue service could have serious consequences this tax season. In washington with a new warning, just 90 days before this years filing deadline. Wyatt, good morning. Reporter good morning. And good morning to our viewers in the west. Tens of millions of taxpayers asked the irs for help every year for filing their taxes and settling disputes but this internal report from a watchdog in the irs says that this year taxpayers are on their own. The report blames congress for cutting the irs budget by 17 , but it also blames irs officials for using those budget dutt cutcuts to slash customer support. Nina olsen is the Taxpayer Advocate at the irs. The official who represents taxpayers within irs headquarters, and shes warning everyone to expect the Worst Customer Service the irs has delivered in a decade. Her yearly report says that because of budget cuts taxpayers can expect less help on the phone. Less help with tax preparation, and more obstacles when disputing an irs mistake. I think that for taxpayers, the they will not be able to get assistance from the irs. They will not get their questions answered. Reporter for example every year the irs gets around 100 million phone calls from taxpayers, and historically has answered those calls in under four minutes. But the olsen report says this year, most people wanting to speak to a live representative will not get through at all, and the wait for those who do get through will exceed 30 minutes. If i say to people they should bring their knitting when they call the irs, they can do something on the phone while theyre waiting. Youre going to be on the phone that long . You can probably knit a sock. Uhhuh. Reporter the report admits that irs budget cuts are partly its own fault. Congressional republicans slashed the agencys funding as payback for the targeting scandal when irs officials investigated mostly conservative groups applying for tax exempt status. I have not done anything wrong. Reporter when lois lerner the former head of the tax exempt unit appeared before congress, she denied wrongdoing. I decline to answer that question. Reporter but then took the fifth amendment. For those taxpayers who might say, too bad. They had it coming. If you think that cutting the irss budget is punishing the irs, its not. Who youre punishing are the United States taxpayers. Youre punishing yourselves. Reporter the report says those budget cuts will also hurt the irs ability to do its job in two critical areas. Tracking the billions worth of subsidies given to taxpayers through obamacare and tracking the billions earned by u. S. Corporations but kept overseas. Wyatt, thanks. This years Oscar Nominations are out this morning. Birdman and the grand wood Budapest Hotel tied for the most nods. Among eight nominees for best picture.

This morning we are getting a rare and revealing look at Jacqueline Kennedy onassiss flare for fashion. She wrote notes to some of her favorite designers, even drew sketches of items she wanted. Some of these letters will be auctioned in west palm beach, florida. Lets give this a preview in a story youll see only on cbs this morning. Reporter elegant sophisticated, graceful just some of the words that come to mind when describing Jacqueline Kennedy onassis. And her notes to her designer and to her interior decorator show just how closely she cultivated her signature style. We have approximately 30 lots. Reporter rico baca is auctioning off onassiss letters on saturday. Shes inviting these people into her life to get close to her, close enough to give her what she wanted. This was a very private space she was letting people into. Yes, right. Shed have to be a little bit vulnerable. Reporter no detail escaped her eye, pockets were in, boxy shoulder pads out. That note was then for Bill Hamilton then the design director for carolina herrera. If the collection was 90 pieces she would like 5 suits. She didnt want to wear black. Reporter onassis said she was so sick of wearing everyone constantly in black like mediterranean villages where everyone was in mourning for 20 years. She drew this sketch herself which hamilton turned into this design. The final product was a brown velvet suit which made her very excited. Onassis was often very hands on during the process. We would have lunch at my desk and she would pull out a Peanut Butter and jelly sandwich that she carried in her bag and have coffee. Reporter richard keengith langham decorated several of her homes. She would dictate what she wanted, the cording on a pillow. Reporter in one note, onassis told him i wasnt mad about the black chairs too heavy im afraid. Do keep looking. Most of the letters many written in her signature blue stationary were actually thank you notes to both men, letting them know how happy she was with the results. She thanked these designers over and over. She was almost humble. All of these notes are special in a sense that she took the time to sit down and write something in appreciation. It was, you know, a thank you note is a form of respect. Reporter onassis had other ways to show she was grateful. She gave me an original 1963 edition of her white house guide book. And she inscribed that to me perhaps this great house will know your touch one day. As a young deck tater, that was sort of aweinspiring for me. Reporter 14 photos taken by bob davedof, a longtime photographer for the kennedy family. Who would want these letters and photographs and sketches. You. Wouldnt you want them . Reporter more than 1,000 people are expected to take part. Each lot some containing two to three letters, is said to be worth 800 to 1,200 although some would probably argue onassiss gratitude is priceless. For cbs this morning, vicente arenas, west palm beach, florida. Such a class act. I was so sorry i never got a chance to meet her. You did. Yes. Yes. I was very sorry about that.

In in our morning rounds the milestone in the fight against lifethreatening fat the fda is giving the goahead for an implant thats designed to trick your brain into thinking youre full. This is the first antiobesity device proved by the government in eight years. Our dr. Holly phillips joins us to tell us more about it. This is a big, big deal. It really is. Its a completely new approach, gayle. The way it works, it involves putting a small pacemakersize device into the abdomen and that device has wire leads and then electrodes that attach to a nerve called the abdominal vegas nerve. The vegas nerve usually sends signals from the stomach to the brain. What this device does it disrupts the signal and the end result is you eat less and lose weight. Its surgery but its not considered as invasive as other procedures, right . Exactly. The reality is for people who are morbidly obese, diet and exercise are the safest option to lose weight but the majority of people wont be able to keep the weight off. Options like gastric banding and laparoscopic im sorry, gastric bypass and laparoscopic banding, theyre good options, effective but theyre much more invasive. Its for anybody that cant do it another way. You have to have a body mass index between 35 and 45 and also some obesityrelated condition, maybe diabetes. And to put it in perspective, obesity is defined as a body mass index, height versus weight, of over 30. This is for people who have a body mass index of 35 to 45 which really means youre morbidly obese or severely obese. What amazes me about this somehow you can do Something Like this and affect the nerve thats going to the brain. Whats the potential of that not just about obesity but a whole range of things . Yes, absolutely. Triggers the brains actions. It opens up a new way of thinking how we can lose weight how we can communicate with the brain and what measures we need to take. Its very exciting. And it might be available soon but well have to see when insurances decide to cover it. Dr. Holly phillips thank you so much. Another breakthrough. Up next, we will talk with the men who just conquered one of the worlds most difficult rock faces using only their hands and their feet.

Tommy caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson reached the summit of el capitan at yosemite on wednesday. It marked the end of a 19day journey of free climbing. They used just their hands and feet to reach the top. Theyre the first to accomplish that lofty goal. The two of us are with us from yosemite along with his wife becca because her husband has lost his voice. Good morning. Despite losing your voice, were happy to have you with us. Help us to understand the enormity of what you have done and what it means to you. Well, tommy first envisioned this line in 2007 and it was a pretty audacious goal given where the climb is located on el capitan. All the other climbs followed very distinct cracks and this was a distinctive portion of the wall. It really did take seven years of work to make this real. It means what to you and to tommy in. It means what. I meenan anything is possible if you work hard enough. There you go. Wonderful. When i first joined the team with tommy, the climb felt impossible quite literally. And to feel the pieces come together year after year was remarkable. But i heard you guys say that this is not youre not thrill seekers. This is a realization of a lifelong dream. What was the dream and why are you not thrill seekers . Why was it so much more than that to you. Becca . More a journey of passion. Its about dreams. Seeking thrills. Can you guys hear that at all . Very good tommy. Youre good okay great. Was did you run into challenges you didnt anticipate . Personally i had many challenges i didnt anticipate. It took a lot of resolve to stay positive and see it through. What did you say to yourself, kevin . At your most difficult moment what did you say to yourself . Honestly i said i dont want to be the guy that almost climbed the dawn wall. Great. What hurts you most right now, guys . Where are you in pain or are you in pain . Personally my hands and the skin on my hands hurt but thats about it. My voice. So becca, thank you for being there. I know youre a climber as well and you have a young child and you were watching your husband. First of all, how did he lose his voice and what do you think of their accomplishment . . I think their accomplishment is just amazing and i think the support that everyone has shown you know with them kind of pushing them up the wall as well has been amazing too. So. Becca do you want to do it . I dont want to do the dawn wall, no. But i would im looking forward to im looking forward to get up el cap again with tommy sometime. Are you surprised by the attention youve garnered . Im sure people were rooting for you this whole time. The president tweeted a picture. I was going to say, the president tweeting a picture and congratulating you. What does that mean . Its pretty surreal to see rock climbing get this kind of attention, but i think it kind of points to larger themes that everybody can relate to you know dreaming big and seeing their projects through to the end. Everyone has their own dawn wall so i thankink thats whats resonating. Its interesting. The president mirrored what you said when he said nothing is impossible. Right. I think thats the biggest takeaway. What dont we understand about what you did . I mean its just unimaginable to me you can do this with just your hands, but beyond that what dont we get about this . How tired you get . How how lonely it is . Yeah. What . Theres so much nuance that goes into completing a project like this, you know. Everyone is seeing kind of the final final, you know week of the push. But what you dont see is the seven years of work. Exactly. And most importantly the vision of seeing the lines to begin with, which tommy did back in 2007. So theres a lot of backstory back here and a lot of days where there were no cameras and there were no stories. We were up there toiling away. I know theres more to come.

The lucky kbie must be able to pay for his flight and hotel but the wining and dining is on her. My main thing was to have fun, talk about first. This is a film that very famously got no golden globe nominations but it did quite well in getting best picture nom nay and best actor, Bradley Cooper. He has three nominations in a row. Thats the first time its happened in over a decade. Very impressive. You said he was impressive in that. Beyond that whats the Biggest Surprise . Jennifer aniston not getting nominated for the film. I expected a better showing for the movie selma. I thought the director could get nominated, the actor David Oyelowo could get nomt nated. It was nominated for best picture and best sound. Overall the best picture race is eight movies that have all not made a lot of money. The highest grossing of those eight is actually request the grand Budapest Hotel with 59 million. That will change because american sniper is opening in wide release. Its going have the biggest hit. But moves like gone girl,. No big blockbusters. Where do you think the race is for best actors . Between Michael Keaton in birdman and Eddie Redmayne the theory of everything. Unless they thought Bradley Cooper got the three. But i think hes got a little bit of ground to cover. But he has hollywood likes. Yeah. But do you give the edge to Michael Keaton. After his speech people were touch and moved by that. I think it depends what people want to recognize. If they want to go through this really technical performance and also the kind of career Michael Keaton has had, then thats the choice. But you cant count out Eddie Redmayne because that tugs at your heartstrings. What an impressive role he played. Unbroken by angelina jolie, how did they fair . Only a couple. Yourall, not a great showing for that movie. At this point i cant say im surprised. Thats a movie i thought would have a lot of oscar chances going in, but then the response to it was not as strong as it was to be. Is boyhood and linklater i would say so. It did overall better. The editing which as we know is very important, so i think thats the one to beat. It didnt get the most nominations but i think thats the one to beat. I think grand Budapest Hotel will get the nod. Its no secret im on team selma. What do you think about that . Theyre very late in the game. They locked the picture late. The screeners which are so important didnt get out to screeners early enough and best actor where i thought daivtd oyelowo had a great shot its too tight of a category this year and thats why you dont see Jake Gyllenhaal getting nominated for night crawler but im happy for steven carell. Most think julianne moore. I think people are surprised to learn shes never won. She won the golden globe for still alice where her character is diagnosed with alzheimers at age 50. Tough competition. The surprise is marian cotillard, a past winner. She was nominated for another french film two days one night which got a lot of critical acclaim. Thank you so much.
