So excited and rooting for team usa we begin there. The United States is preparing for one of its biggest world cup games ever. Millions of american fans are getting ready, too. Team usa is second in group g behind germany. Only the top two teams advance to the next round. The u. S. Plays germany in just a few hours. Elaine quijano is there. Reporter its been a roller coaster ride for the American Team so far. Many pundits didnt expect the u. S. To advance to the second round but with an american win or tie today, thats exactly what would happen. Team usa was greeted with cheers from american fans wednesday as they arrived in the city. Players spent the last three days recovering and regrouping after a physical first game against ghana and an emotional tie against portugal. This is the biggest game of a lot of our lives, so any fatigue in our legs will be erased. We got to give everything we got and more. Reporter giving more and going further than expected. Team usa began their world cup run in the group of death but their aggression, and overall stamina on the pitch its 21 to the u. S. reporter have defied pundits who originally dismissed their chances of advancing. I think some people might be a little bit surprised about our results so far. We are not. We are the underdog in this tournament but we know it is the biggest hurdle now with germany. Reporter although germany is the favorites to win it all, the americans have positioned themselves for success. Germany has a lot of different weapons, guys who played at the highest levels of the Chance League and in the world cup itself. So thats the toughest test the u. S. Will have faced to this point.

Loses today, there is still a chance that the americans move on but it depends on the outcome of todays ghana portugal game. Here is a chart that illustrates just how complicated the math becomes. It spells out hundreds of different possible results. Charlie . Elaine, thanks. National soccer hall of famer jeff ago ofos is with us. Are you nerve sfus. Im nervous, anxious, it is going to be a long time. What has to happen for america to win . Weve got to do a lot of things right. Weve got to get to the final 30 seconds and be in a position to either tie or win the game. It would be nice to be with the group because we have an easier knockout round but it will take every member of the team playing together and playing well. The coach yurgen klinsmann tweeted out a letter to your boss. I think because of the group we were in, the group of death with ghana, portugal, and now germany so expectations were extremely low and weve really superseded those expectations. So coach klinsmann is from germany. I believe there are five players on the u. S. Team who are both u. S. And german players, have passports from both countries. Does that help . I think so. We have an intimate knowledge of the team. Our players are very familiar with them. I dont think they know us as well as we know them. So i think thats a real advantage. How good is germany . Theyre one of the top teams in the world. They could win the world cup, thats how good they are. Is there a matchup to watch for something to see how it is going to go . I think their back four can be exposed, their defenders can be exposed but they have great attackers so we have to play very, very well. At the very least what does the u. S. Have to do in order to advance . Tie . A tie or a win were through. There are some scenarios. It was very funny because Stephen Colbert went through them the other day. But i dont even want to think about those scenarios. This could be a team of destiny. It could be. We had the 1980 hockey team and we had that momentum build. We could have something very similar in soccer and it has really grown and take shape. Im ready. Way to show your red, white and blue. I can go right down to brazil. Jeff, thanks. Heavy rain is flooding more cities and towns around the country this morning. Forecasters say the biggest storm threat today is in the plains. Its also raining hard in new england and those storms caused flash flooding in places like state college, pennsylvania. Police near albany, new york are telling drivers to stay off the flooded roads this morning. High water in ft. Worth, texas trapped a pregnant woman in the middle of a street and more rain today in minnesota could make things even worse. Part of this Amusement Park near the twin cities is already under water. 35 minnesota counties declared flood emergencies. The Mississippi River is expected to crest today. There are new details overnight in the hunt for Malaysia Airlines flight 370. More than three months after it vanished on a trip from kuala lumpur to beijing, the search area is shifting and there is a new clue about how the plane got off course. Jeff, good morning. Reporter good morning. Investigators have revealed new information about the missing malaysia air jet. They spent weeks combing through satellite data from the missing plane to try and identify its location. They believe this new lead will help them uncover its final resting place. Investigators say before mh370 went down, it was likely on auto pilot. Certainly for its path across the indian ocean, we are confident that the aircraft was operating on auto pilot until it ran out of fuel. Reporter expert analysis determined that after that, the plane ended up farther south in the indian ocean than originally thought, but still along the seventh arc where the plane last communicated with a satellite roughly 1,200 miles off the coast of australia. This is the area now where the prospect of locating the aircraft is highest. Reporter its been more than three months since the plane disappeared with 239 people on board. For seven weeks the certainly centered on pings under the surface of the water that investigators believe came from the black boxes. An effort now largely seen as a distraction. Now the search effort will focus on a massive 23,000squaremile area of the indian ocean thats largely been unmapped. Can i emphasize again that this search is a major undertaking. This site is the best available and most likely place where the aircraft is resting. Reporter new information today, but the search is still more than a month away from resuming. Between now and then, independent contractors will be hired with sonar equipment that will be able to search deeper below the surface of the ocean, and even then, authorities expect the search to take up to a year, maybe longer. Charlie . Jeff, thanks. In iraq overnight, sunni muslim militants captured a town thats hole to several large natural gas fields. A number of Foreign Companies operate there. Meanwhile, syria is reportedly attacking those sunni forces. Charlie dagata is in baghdad. Reporter today Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki confirmed what many many people suspected syrian warplanes were responsible for hitting militant targets inside the iraqi border. He said he did not request those air strikes, but he welcomed them just the same. In the iraqi border town of al qaim, the aftermath of air strikes launched not by the u. S. Or iran but neighboring syria. Isis militants have seized a number of border crossings in recent days, allowing them to shift weapons and fighters from syria into iraq. The Group Continues to push for more territory in the north and west of the country. One of the biggest battles is being waged over the countrys largest oil refinery. Iraqi forces claim to have taken back control of the refinery but thats disputed by the militants. North of the capital baghdad, after two weeks of humiliating and hasty retreats, iraqi forces were on the move toward the front line city of samarra with tanks, heavy weapons, and rallying speeches. As insurgents continue to tighten their grip to the west and north of the country, Government Forces have yet to launch any serious counteroffensive. They seem more intent on defending the capital instead. Norah . Charlie, thank you. The Supreme Court is expected to release more important decisions this morning. On wednesday the justices put new limits on cell phone searches. Jan crawford is at the Supreme Court with a look at this victory for privacy rights. So, jan, how sweeping do you think this ruling is . Reporter oh, norah, i mean it is broadly written, emphatic, and it is unanimous. All nine justices coming together to declare if police want to search your cell phones when they are making arrests, they have to get a warrant first. The Obama Administration had argued that police should be able to routinely do this when they are making an arrest like they would go through your wallet or your briefcase. But the justices said cell phones are different. Theyre like mini computers, the corps said. If you think about it, they can hold everything photographs, email, banking records, medical records. Of course, all of that and i quote from the opinion sensitive personal information can form a revealing man life. The same cannot be said of a photograph or two tucked inside your wallet. If they want to search your cell phone, they have to get a certainly warrant. They cant open it. Up during an arrest as a fishing expedition. Whats coming up next for the Supreme Court to report on before it goes on its break . Reporter well, you know how they always save the big one for the end. The big one this term is a challenge to part of the president S Health Care reform law. Remember the justices upheld that law as constitutional. This one just focuses on a small part of the law that requires employers to provide conceptives through their Insurance Plan at no cost to employees. A couple that owns a chain of arts and Crafts Stores across the country, theyve got about 500 stores, challenged that provision saying that it violated their religious beliefs. Thats the one i think were waiting on. We could get it today or the court could go in to monday before they break for the summer. Jan, thanks.

A new jersey woman is suing for discrimination this morning. She claims that a former employer refused to change her schedule to help had her avoid rush hour traffic. The lawsuit says she was diagnosed with depression and anxiety aggravated by gridlock. She wanted to come in after the morning rush and leave before the roads jammed up in the evening. The Company Allegedly said no and fired the woman in retaliation. Cbs news legal analyst Rikki Kleiman is with us. Good morning. Good morning. Does she have a case . Indeed she does. At first blush the press headline is clearly frivolous lawsuit. Everybody gets aggravated in traffic. We all have anxiety in traffic. But, its hes not that simple. When we have the americans with disabilities act, and in this case new jersey has a similar act, as most states would do, what anxiety is is a recognized disability. This was a woman who said and went to a doctor that she had chronic anxiety and depression. Its documented. It was aggravated by her commute. So heres where the employer makes a mistake. They recognize the disability, they accommodate the disability just for a little while, then they say, well, nope. Then they allow her to take a medical leave under the federal medical leave act, which says you can take 12 weeks. She takes the 12 weeks. She comes back. She gets demoted. She gets demoted, and then she goes to file an ethics complaint with the company. All the systems they set up to deal with these issues. And then they fire here. But rikki, why couldnt it be maybe this is not the job for her, or why couldnt she come in before the morning rush hour as opposed to after . Couldnt they work out something that they still get work out of this employee . Now she has a very short work day. Well, she does have a short work day, by her request. But what happens is, an employer has an obligation to make a reasonable accommodation. They could have talked with her. They could have come up with something. Perhaps she did come in earlier or she did leave later. The problem is they didnt accommodate. And thats their only obligation. Once you do this, it is like the old buyer beware. In a company, especially a company like this, this is a 16 billion company. Big, big company. Lots of resources. No undue hardship to accommodate. Youve got to follow the rules of the law. So a lawsuit which looks frivolous like this, just wait a minute. Because we may see many more lawsuits like this. Thats the important point. A warning tole Many Employers on that. Rikki kleiman, thank you so much. And they have seen the trailer and theyre not laughing this morning. North korean leaders hit the roof over a new Seth Rogen James franco movie.

The north is calling the movie an act of war. The dialogue thats making stars laugh. Seth, good morning. Reporter good morning. North korea says that the films offensive plot line cannot be forgiven and that it crosses the line. It also expressed concern that the movies trailer is being seen in broad daylight. I can say outloud what were both thinking. I love you. Reporter actor seth rogen who stars in the film tweeted, people dont usually want to kill me for one of my movies until after they paid 12 bucks for it. It seems the satirical nature of this movie was lost inside those in the hermit kingdom, or as they put it the provocative story line is leading to an explosion of outrage and fury within our army and among the people. The official statement came on the 64th anniversary of the start of the korean war. Tens of thousands celebrated the family who have led this reclusive country through generations. The film, the interview, takes aim literally at the current leader. 30something dictator kim jongun. You want to go kill kim jung un . Absolutely. It is a date. Reporter rogen and franco play a news team who are pulled into a cia plot to assassinate mr. Kim. When we were there last summer, we saw the breathless they believe anything, including that he can speak to dolphins. Reporter firing back, the North Koreans vowed to mercilessly stomp on those who slander as much as a strand of hair of our top leadership. Not much is known about kim jongun. Even his age is not certain. But it is believed he is a movie buff like his father, jim jung ijungil who is rumored to have a collection of 20,000 movies. The state news agencys hollywood scriptworthy condemnation if the u. S. Government permits or protects the film, there will accordingly be firm and merciless response. The North Koreans did not clarify exactly what that response would be, gayle, but i wouldnt exactly expect the red carpet treatment in pyongyang. No trip to north korea any time soon for the two of them. Sort of an overreaction by the North Koreans. Very extreme. Pope francis promised he wouldnt choose sides in this world cup. Wondering if hes wearing red, white and blue today. Even he he cannot resist the magic of one of the top players. The evidence next on cbs this players. The evidence next on cbs this morning.

This morning another Amelia Earhart takes off from oakland, california to finish where her name stake started. Why the voyage is as much about the future of female flyers as it is about their past. Reporter it was shakespeares juliet who asked whats in a name . For this woman pilot, perhaps everything. Her parents name her amelia rose earhart. Aviations leading lady, miss Amelia Earhart.

Reporter but a goal getting more women into the cockpit. Although women have not taken advantage of some of the benefits, air travel is as available to them as to men. Reporter she was the first woman to fly solo across the atlantic. And her trip across the world was meant to further the cause of women in flying. But the flight ended in one of aviations great unsolved mysteries when she disappeared somewhere in the south pacific. And in the 77 years since, the cockpit remains a mostly male domain. Today, women make up only about 5 of commercial airline pilots. I recently was able to fly this particular aircraft. Reporter the modern day amelia knows all too well about attitudes toward women in aviation. Recently taken a photograph in front of an aircraft and a gentleman walked up and asked me if i wanted a pilot in the shot. What did you say . I said, sir, there is a pilot in the shot. He said, oh, am i in it . I said, no. Im going to go fly this airplane. It will be straight down runway 33 today. Reporter which brings us to destiny, 18 years old. Before she met amelia, she was washing airplanes 12 hours a day to raise money for flight training. Nicely done. Reporter now shes the first recipient of a scholarship from earharts foundation which helps high school aged girls who want to learn how to fly. I like altitude. Reporter getting the scholarship meant lessons paid for, and one thing more Amelia Earhart is a big, big role model and it is such a relief to know that there are role models out there that do reach out and theyll help you. This is the cockpit of the pc12. This is the one that were going to fly around the world. If she can do it, then i can do it. Reporter so whats in a name . Ask the woman whose name set her on a path to destiny. There have been times where ive momentarily thought, you know, what if i had a different name, things might and little easier. But now that i have embraced i and said im going allin, it is so much fun. Reporter for cbs this morning, barry peterson. Teamamelia. Absolutely. Were rooting for you.

Take a cooking class in paris . Click no further than peek. Com. The site helps travelers find and book things to do on vacation or at home. It covers 24 parts of the u. S. , mexico and europe with hope from local experts and celebrity tour guides. The founder and ceo of peek. Com is here. Also cbs news travel eder to Peter Greenberg joins us at the table. Welcome. This is such a great idea. Where did you get it from . I went to istanbul for a week and i ended up spending 20 hours for planning the trip. I was looking at guide books, asking friends. Once i finally figured out what i wanted to do i had to call all the guides. It didnt make sense that Something Like open table didnt exist for activities. I was used to booking a restaurant by going online. But i didnt understand why when it came to booking a wine tour or kayak tour i couldnt do the same thing. There wasnt anything out there. I decided to build peek. Com. Eureka. What kind of activities can you book . A huge range. Things from are more family friendly. You might go ziplining or you might take your kids on a great historical working tour all the way through to things that are adventurous, if you want to go drive a race car around in las vegas or you want to go sky diving, things like that, can you do the whole but part of what makes go ahead. It is a great idea because people are looking for authentic, genuine experience from trusted sources. The biggest problem with the internet is youre not getting those trusts sources many times because they havent properly vetted. Shes going to trusted sources. People have have experience in the local region and saying, okay, local knowledge is king, what do you know, how can you help us through. On that question, how do you vet these companies and resources and tour guides, et cetera . We have a team of travel experts in house that do that. We actually also work with people like piers morgan and diane von furstenberg. Tory burch. But to be fair, theyre all wonderful people but they travel in different circles than most theyre billionaires. We have a spectrum. Well have Peter Greenberg im broke. What we are trying to do for wolfgang puck, hes a foodie. He provides examples of great things you can do. These are things that arent highly expensive or not, these are things that offer a rare kind of experience. Thats what makes a great vacation, what do you together to bond. Within 50 to 200 miles of where you happen to be. Not just doing the iconic thing seeing the eiffel tower in. It is finding the guy that will get you in at midnight when they light it up. Whats the most fun thing you have done because it came from peek. Com . A helicopter tour in hawaii. Sounds really simple and straightforward but it was absolutely stunningly beautiful. I had no idea there would be amazing forests and lush valleys. I was just kind of pretty blown away because in my head hawaii was just this place you go for a beach holiday. How did you find it . I went to peek. Com. In this case i actually used the peek app and found it that way. Im so fascinated by you. You are incredibly gorgeous. You went to Harvard Business school. You came to San Francisco two years ago with just a suitcase and an idea. And you said what . Well, i had heard San Francisco was a great place to build a startup. Really wasnt sure that it was the place for me. So i took a suitcase and started working on the idea. I got more and more excited. I realized there was actually a huge opportunity. The merchants we work with, these Small Businesses that provide these activities, 20 of them dont even have a website. Less than 30 have online booking. As i started to dig further i realized not only was this a problem frustrating me, but it is a huge business issue. I need to get this in. Im going to mexico city this weekend.

The green room is over there. Ahead, a taste of the big easy from an insider. Im jamie wax. Coming up on cbs this morning, theres something very special in this pot. It used to be our best kept secret in louisiana but now the rest of the world is catching on. Stick around and you can f find out what it is. birds chirping softly in background. loud engine sounds what hows it going . Heard you need a ride to school. Oh, thats pretty cool big day at school . I know just the thing to help you get going. Power up with new cheerios protein. The fourth of july is right backyard chefs across the country will be firing up their barbecues. In southern louisiana, another tradition is bubbling over. The cajun country ritual thats crossing borders. Reporter what are the words that come to mind when you say louisiana tradition . Many think mardy g ddi gras, mud great food. And there is a tradition all of us in louisiana grew up with thats spreading coast to coast. In new orleans, the big event usually takes place inside the super dome. But on this day in may, it was the crowd outside having a ball. Nearly 10,000 people showed up to turn a genuine south louisiana ritual into a new world record. 27,000 pounds of crustaceans went in to making the Worlds Largest crawfish boil. At any good louisianan knows, no matter the occasion, crawfish is always a reason to celebrate. You think having crawfish is something that connects us . Oh, definitely. We have a deep appreciation for the south. It is really a great thing and it is something we want to raise our family with. Reporter crawfish boils are most often just simple backyard get togethers. This is what a crawfish boil in a backyard is really all about, a group of friends and Family Gathering around a table covered in newspaper eating crawfish and all the fixings. Theres really nothing like it. Sometimes called mutt bugs but never cray fish, they are small critters and peeling them is an acquired skill. This is my peeling technique. Pinch it down, youre done. Every once in a while you get a nice juice in the head. Reporter it is Cajun Cuisine so they boast a mighty flavor. We try to balance the spice with the seasoning enough that you can still enjoy the food and flavor of the natural crawfish. At the same time, if your nose aint running, you aint having much fun. Thats in general a good rule. Yes. Reporter what used to be a local louisiana ritual is now spreading to backyards nationally. A taste thats propelled the crawfish business into a half a billion dollar a year industry. And you catered something in california. Right . Oh, yeah. Weve gone all the way to seattle. We pack the truck up, the rig, roll to seattle. Reporter the trend has kept mike morris busier than ever. He runs zattarans, the worlds leadi inin ining maker of the sd in crawfish. Morris thinks he knows why the crawfish craze is spreading. It absolutely goes all over the country and to a degree all over the world. And a lot of that has become postkatrina. A lot of folks have been displaced. Reporter crawfish used to be caught mostly in the wild but increased demand has rice growers transforming their fields in to crawfish farms. We dont feed them, we dont fertilize them. We dont use insecticides. We dont do anything. It is just water and land and we have crawfish. Reporter t. J. Is one of the 1,200 rice farmers who collectively harvest 100 Million Pounds of crawfish a year. Fortunately, god did not make crawfish real smart. Theres not a lot of room for brain up in that little head. Once they get in, they just kind of hang out and wait for me to come along and harvest them. Reporter these days whats worrying him is the growing threat to his business from abroad. Last year, china exported 18 Million Pounds of crawfish to the u. S. Tell me about chinese crawfish. Im not a real big fan of chinese crawfish. I just dont think they can deliver that live fresh product like we can deliver from louisiana. Reporter for now, louisiana has the upper hand. The states commissioner of agriculture wants to make sure it stays that way. We export now more than half of our crawfish. I tell everybody when the season starts eat them quick before they ship them out of state. Reporter balk at tck at thes largest crawfish boil, they raised enough money to provide 112,000 meals for charity. You think our fathers ever imagined when they were stirring crawfish in a beer keg they had no concept. Absolutely none. Once people begin to eat our crawfish, theyll never get enough. Theres one more factor in play here. New orleans Celebrity Chefs like emr emeril are becoming household names. Thats making americans realize just how bland some of their food is. And it makes new orleans a great place to go. It was a tough assignment. Ive had crawfish but peeling a lot of those its very easy. People from louisiana are happy to teach you. You see multigenerational peeling going on there. I just want to work that hard to eat. I dont want my nose to run. I like a good old beignet. A beignet in the morning.
