When kerry saw the bill would attract as many as 70 votes, the white house sought minor modifications and dropped the threat. Weve gone from a piece of legislation that the president would veto to a piece of legislation thats undergone substantial revision such that it is now in a form of a compromise that the president would be willing to sign. Reporter virginia democrat tim kean said the white house had no choice.

Hours before a heavily Armed Russian destroyer and two support ships sailed from the mediterranean to the English Channel. The british navy deployed a warship off the coast of plymouth to monitor the russian ships as they passed. Both incidents came as british hosts more than 50 ships. Theres little doubt that provocation comes out of the play book of russian activist vladimir putin. He likes to fly these old bombers over western europe again, to rattle cases, to make people worry, to make people worry that he might undermine west european and Central European stability in some way, so its really an exercise ominousle flexing more than anything else.

Rita has done a big story and shes sounding the alarm. Youve got to get a Second Opinion. The main thing shes stressing is getting a Second Opinion from a pathologist. Is this good advice . I think its excellent advice. Breast pathology is a very complicated field and while people get Second Opinions about their surgeons theres a whole team of people behind that surgeon that form the surgeons team and the team is only as strong as the weakest link and the pathology is the person who looks at the tissue under the microscope and feeds the surgeon the information, that will tell them. I think thats really important to hear that. I hadnt thought about that. I had. Either. She said a friend recommended get a Second Opinion and she trusted her gut feeling on this. How important is this . I think women do have to feel comfortable with their doctors. In todays day and age there are many options. There are centers of excellent all throughout the country. Its important to know its not important an emergency when youre diagnosed. Take that time if something doesnt feel right and particularly in those in betweentype entities. Theres clearcut normal which no one would miss and clearcut cancer that no one would miss but then theres a whole spectrum in between thats subject to interpretation and for women thats a bit of a red flag. In some cases doctors get a Second Opinion, dont they . If theres a question . Absolutely. I think the point you bring up, charlie, is that even among experts there are certain things that they may not agree and its important to have all that information before doing anything specific. The type of cancer she has, is that sew aggressive that it requires a mastectomy . No. Invasive is no better no worse than the most common kind basil ductal. Its less common but no more aggressive.

Aaron hernandez found guilty of first degree murder. Survivors are facing a Pivotal Moment, how to remember but also how to move forward. Quoting the russian ambassador, this is a panic reaction and proves some people are disconnected from reality.

The olive garden has announced its providing Tablet Computers at every table. The next step is even more ambitious, providing italian food in every olive garden. Welcome back to cbs this morning. A few minutes, a massachusetts jury decided the fate of Aaron Hernandez. What say you, madam foreperson, is Aaron Hernandez guilty . Guilty of murder in the first degree. He faces life in prison without parole. The white house says president obama is ready to sign a compromised bill letting Congress Vote on a final nuclear deal with iran. The president backed down on tuesday after the bills supporter showed they had the votes to override a veto. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Approved the measure. A new poll shows more than twothirds of americans believe congress should is a role in deciding whether the United States support as nuclear deal with iran. Missouri senator Claire Mccaskill is with us from capitol hill. Shes the leading democrat on the Senate Armed Services committee. Senator, good morning. Good morning. Help us understand what new real power this gives congress and whether we would be having this question if there was not concern not only among republicans but also democrats about the iran deal. Well first of all, this bill is about a process and the white house was engaged in helping forge this compromise. It really now is just going to allow a super majority of the senate to reject the deal not a simple majority, not even 60 votes. 67. 67. Keep in mind we have 46 democrats. So part of me the cynical part of me, thinks that maybe the republicans capitulated on this because they understand the alternative to no deal is a very dangerous proposition, especially if you understand the parameters of this deal that have been agreed to by not just the United States and iran but by russia china, france, germany, the united kingdom. I do think as we move forward and as the deal gets fleshed out in the coming weeks, americans will begin to understand what the alternative is to rejecting this deal. I think it, frankly, is much more dangerous in terms of iran getting a Nuclear Weapon than us in fact potentially embracing this deal at the end of the day. Senator, why shouldnt congress have more oversight and more say in the ability to reject this . When sanctions are phased out, iran will gain billions more in oil revenue and it no secret that iran is the chief destabilizers in the region that supports hezbollah the Houthi Rebels in yemen. This isnt about trusting iran. This is about having an agreement where we can verify 24 7 whether or not they have violated the agreement. This isnt about trust. We dont trust iran and were keeping all options on the table opinion i do think congress should have a role. I think the reason the white house pushed back in the beginning because the way it was daft drafted would provide more involvement. I think we all agree this is important. How are things between you and Hillary Clinton . There seemed to be bruised feelings when you supported barack obama back in 2008. And what do you make of her Road Trip Campaign in scooby and meeting people face to face . First of all, were great. Ive had several conversations with secretary clinton. She seems relaxed, she seems determined strong capable and i think shes doing this because this is the way she wants to do it. No matter how she rolled out, the hillary haters would be out in force. She would be criticized no matter what she did. So i think she is doing this her way, which is listening, trying to keep it low key, making people understand that she gets that shes got to earn shes got to eastern the respect and confidence of the american people. And they have to determine whether they will fight for them. I think shes going to come out on top in that equation. Can i raise a question about your tweeting life . Yes, you may. You know i i know you for this charlie. You cast aspersions on those fine young men at duke who happen to play basketball very well and may be embarking on a lucrative career in the nba. Right. Listen this isnt about those young men. This is about a system that the grownups have allowed to come into place where you have a crazy situation where a coach is making 10 million a year and these players cant afford to go home and visit their families. Its nuts and by the way, ive got no problem with these kid going to the nba. But lets not call this student. Because were now rewhether its kentucky or duke or another school i think one and done is not good for college basketball. How would you change it . Well we can say lets stop the art physical of pretending. Calipari is not recruiting kids to go to college. Hes saying to them go to my school because most of my kid go to the nba. On the other hand, if youre not going to go straight from high school and youre going to be in college, lets make sure that these kids at least have a stipend so theyre not having to break the rules im trying im trying. Were listening. A lot of people agree with you on that senator, basketball iran and Hillary Clinton. Youve covered it all thats a threepointer, senator mccaskill shes a basketball fan.

Autism affects 1 in 68 children in the United States. The journal of American Medical Association reports on a possible link between diabetes and autism in kids. What does this study say . This is an observational studies. We cant draw conclusions, we can just show associations. Researchers looked at the Health Records of 300,000 children born at a Single Health system in california and then looked back at the health of the mother. They put the mom in three categories.

Its saying that autism and the brain changes that occur happen early on probably in development before the baby is ever born. Whats the message if youre pregnant or going to get pregnant .

I came in under the assumption that it was clean. Ive been living in a fools paradise ive bet youve heard the saying money doesnt buy happy finance but ill here. One employees wages will increase to 70,000 in stages. A boss who took a pay cut. I love this story. Good morning. Good morning. Big Companies Like mcdonalds and walmart have raised their prices but nothing like what dan has done. He wants to confront income inequality in america so he slashed his own paycheck and raised the minimum wage at his company to 70,000. Ceo dan price made the announcement at his companys quarterly meeting. Were going to have a minimum 70,000 pay raise for everyone that works here. The minimum salary at the Credit Card Processing Company will immediately jump to 50,000 and rise to 70,000 within three years. I realized that people are making less than that theres an emotional cost they have every single day and you only get to live once and so those are days that are lost in terms of being abe to live a really full life, so getting there was really based on that research that princeton did in 2010. That princeton study concluded that a human beings emotional well being rises as their income rises. The reaction went from subdued shock to standing occasionhvationovation. Melissa is a 21yearold single mother who works in customer service. Overnight her annual salary jumped from 37,000 to 50,000. It gives you confidence to go about your daynd and not going from paycheck to paycheck. Maybe i cried when i called my mom. Reporter he has 54,000 in student debt. Now those loans will be easier to pay off. I think its lifechanging for everybody in various ways. Its potentially lifechanging for price as well. So im reducing my salary from a million a year to about 70,000. But not even in Corporate America can afford to make drastic changes. It doesnt make economic sense for Large Companies that have a lot of people like that to give huge raises like this. It can tip them from being profitable to unprofitable which is why were not going to see a huge stampede of companies doing this. Its not about pay but developing people and giving them a chance to thrive and show what i that can do. Reporter dan admits the salary increases will cut his forecasts in near term but having happier more productive employees he believes will pay off in the long term. You know, i want to be a part of the solution of inequality in this country, and so if Corporate America also wants to be a part of that solution that would make me really happy. 30 employees will see their salaries double under this movie. Price insists hes not trying to make a political statement but word is getting around. The company got more than 500 new resumes. He did a story. Great. Employees everywhere are sending your story to their bosses today. Its one of the highest emailstores right now. Go dan price. Thank you, anthony.

A lot of stuff comes out of there, doesnt review explore what it takes to be a successful leader. They talk about their relationship in both business and marriage. What do you like to do that tickles you both that you say thats a good day in the life of jack and suedy welch . Theyre all good days. Its tough to differentiate. We have a blast every day. We for example read five papers in the morning and well each find something in there and say read this read this. And were fighting to read what the other read. And writing a book was fun. We enjoyed it. You talk to a lot of people suzie, for this book. We traveled the world for the last 10, 12 years and we did a calculation that came out to a Million People that weve been meeting of all different sizes. What was the thing that stood out to you. A Million People. Thats a lot of people. One is the grind continue. Since 2008 business, the fun has been sucked out of business and people are trying to find ways to grow. We also continue to be shocked by the fact that people do not know where they stand at work. Why do you think its important that people know where they stand . Look. The team that fields the best players wins the game. Thats true in football. Thats true in baseball. Thats true in any sport. Its true in business. And so people have to know where they stand so they can improve, so they can be coached. So they can be brought along. In the book you say its okay for employers to be friends with the employees. I thought that was such a different philosophy from most people. I have felt that way for 50 years. Why the hell would you want to go to work with people you didnt want to hang out with . Because you might have to fire them at some point, jack. Doesnt that make it harder to fire them . Now were back to where you stand. As long as they know theyve got your back and they know where they stand. If they cant do the job, theyll know it. I want to have a beer with it. I can like you and not be your fren at work. We can have mutual respeck and admiration, but we dont have to hang out together. Its nice when you do. Is this a new jack welch . Listen jack. When people think about jack it was neutron jack ruthless abrasive. Now youre saying love people out the door its good to have fun at work. Is this a new jack welch or is this how youve been all along and no one had seen it. If you ask my associates, theyll tell you that. Do you agree, suzie . I think the people that work with jack have always known this side of him. Its a wonderful caricature, a catchy phrase. When i was an editor i probably used it myself to describe him. This is the real jack. I dont think hes changed. Youve also been described a one of the best ceos in the world. Bold dynamic. Listen. G. E. s in the news recently they theyre tearing down the building that jack built. Yeah. When you read that what do you think about that . Agree or disagree . Thank god theyre making changes. The world has changed. It doesnt hurt your feelings to say i built it this way . We talk about change every day. The game changed in 2008. Dodd frank came in changed the rules for financial entitities and we became a city which is a significant issue for Financial Services company. It became a less attractive businesses. Thank got they jumped on it. Thats why geos still in the dow jones. On page 221 you say technically we both retired in 2001. Okay. One of us retire. The other got fired for running off with the retired. Who was that suzie . Because at the big time that was a big scandal. No one every thought that would lead to a love connection. How did that happen . I thought no wonder Everybody Loves jack welch. Hes amazing. I thought he seemed awfully curious about my personal life. He was married at the time. He was. I was not. He asked if i had a boyfriend. We liked each other a lot. We had an immediate love connection. What did you see,. I think the package is there. You had a package at home. We had long since personally grown apart and it didnt work. And so this was just perfect. Why does it work so well for you . Youve been married now 11 years. 11 years. I know i know. Who said it wouldnt last. We were right too. We knew it with us going to last forever. You knew . There was we were crazy about each other. We loved each other and we knew it was going to last. And we have a blast together. Im a big supporter of having similar values similar beliefs, similar things. I think the opposites attract game ive tried that. That didnt work so well. What a great interview. It was good. This is the thing. Theyre so happy their dog is named happy, the rescue dog that theyve rescued. He says hes 79. He feels like hes in his 50s. Shes 55. It works out for them both. He has said if theyre fired and youre surprised, youre wrong. Thats what he said. The importance of knowing where you stand and be friends with that person. He gave them a lot to think about. That affection is so true. Theyre always on the phone, hey, honey, i love you, cant wait to see you. I even joyed that.

Depositing checks at the atm and transferring funds on the mobile app. Technology designed for you. So you can easily master the way you bank. Maddy and tay are being praised for bringing a new voice to the vocal music. Theyre going to be honoret at the Country Music awards but why they want some of their fellow stars to sound more respectful. Reporter Maddy Marleau and tailor dye could be any other duo trying to make it in Country Music. They have the look and the talent. But these 19yearolds arent just another new group because of this song. Their first single girl in a country song went straight to the top. But its the message that makes them breakout stores and puts nashville on notice. You guys are taking on whats big in nashville. Two teenagers. Go big or go home. Go big or go home. Thats definitely the motto. Youre calling only sought of the biggest names in music. Were calling out the trend rather than the artist. What they call unrealistic and irresponsible covers much of todays Country Music. A sound called rogue country. Tight main game in town with songs that glorify big trucks beer and beautiful women. Were huge country fans but were so sick and tired of how women are portrayed in songs. The girls are supposed to sit there, be perfect, not talk no personality. We would listen to the radio day after day and say where did the value and character go. So we went to a songwriting session and we made a check list of all the cliches. Like what are they. Dirt road long tan legged. Bare feet. Cut off trucks. Tailgate. Slide on over. Im like could there be a please your hot self over here girl, hand me another beer maddie tae take on the brogue summaries and come back. I wish i had shoes on my two bare feet. Mocking the way they dress. I hate the way bikini top fits, do i have to wear it all day. And setting straight how it should see them. Tell me one more time how you want to get you some of that their backlash that made history. Maddie tae became the first two in nearly a decade whose very first song hit number one. The Country Music hall of fame came call snag and these are going to go downstairs in our brandnew gallery. Reporter we were with maddyie tae as they donated their songs from the songs video. I remember getting a call and they said do you still have your outfitting. We want to put them in the hall of fame. Theyre doing more than stirring the pot. Theyre saying Country Music was ignoring the perspective of young women. We had no voice. We realize when we see little girls singing were giving them a voice. Were like we can sing and give you a voice and make you be known. If youre wondering whats behind their confidence they point to their upbringing. Maddy was raised in texas by a mother who worked in the oil and gas industry. Tay grew up in oklahoma with older brothers. Both took voice lessons in dallas where their teachers introduced them. They joined forces and made a big move together. We were 17 years old. Moved to nashville completely on our own, trying to figure out how to pay bills and fix a broken ac unit. What to to whelp your apartment floods. Exactly. All these grownup things. It was hard. Were trying to make a name forourselves in nashville, which is not easy. That experience inspired their second single fly. An uplifting song that encourages people to hold on through the tough times. So keep on climbing theres a lot of pressure because you came out with this huge hit and now what . For us its about getting to tell our stories and if we can release a song that is true to us and our fans relate and maybe it doesnt get high on the charts, thats really not important. Its a hit to us. As long as we get to say what we want to say as long as its passionate, thats all that matters. Reporter another message they hope empowers to resonate.
