If you raise the minimum wage you will make people more expensive than a machine. Cbs will host the democratic debate from des moines, iowa. Our coverage begins at 9 00 p. M. Today the World Antidoping Agency suspended russias sports drug testing lab. The head of the lab resigned. The russian government is accused of helping its olympic track and field athletes cheat and then destroy the evidence. Moscow called it an old problem that was solved long ago. Elizabeth palmer is looking in to this. Reporter Mariya Savinova who won gold at the london olympics is just one of ten Russian Sports figures the report says should be banned for life. But thats cold comfort to americas Alysia Montano who was pushed out of olympic medal contention by two russians. At the end of the day they are thieves. You know, its a criminal act. And i would tell them all of the things that they stole from me they cannot replace. Reporter a year ago, a german Tv Documentary rocked the sports world. Here, yuliya stepanova, a russian runner turned whistleblower, puts on a hidden camera to film her coach dishing this was the starting point for the worlds antidoping agencys investigation that concluded the russians were not only systematically doping but bribing officials to conceal test results and using secret agents to monitor the lab work. These are modern echos of soviet times when winning on the world stage was in part a political victory and thats still the case. President Vladimir Putin leading and center of his campaign to boost russias prestige. The 2014 Winter Olympics in sochi, remember, were the most expensive in history and guess which country got the most medals. But from glory to disgrace, now some of russias athletes actually face being barred from next summers olympic games. Thats what the head of the doping agency described as the Nuclear Option but threatening a ban maybe the only way to get the russians to clean up their act. Liz palmer in the london newsroom tonight.

So we wanted to find a school thats beating the odds and show everybody how they do it. Thats what took Elaine Quijano to a high School Called ptech, short for pathways to technology. Reporter it may look like a Traditional High School but from the moments like shudon brown enter the classrooms in brooklyn the expectations are different. I got my High School Diploma and twoyear Associates Degree by the time i was 16.

Tomorrow marks 150 years since alice in wonderland was published. In it the mad hatter declares you would have to be half mad to dream me up. Which got us wondering who did dream it up . Anthony mason goes through the looking glass. Curiosity often leads to trouble. Almost from the moment 7yearold alice first tumbled down the rabbit hole. Goodbye reporter her adventures in wonderland became a classic. Its never been out of print. Its never been out of print. Reporter the curator carolyn vega, from jpmorgans museum said it began on a boat ride on oxford, england, in 1862 when a professor told young alice little and her two sisters a wild story. Once the boat ride was over at the end of the day she asked for a written copy of the story. Reporter author Lewis Carroll spent more than two years handwriting and illustrating what he first called alices adventures underground. This is the original man crew manuscript. This is the copy he presented to alice . Yes, it is absolutely unique. Reporter the pen name for charles dodgson. He is like a blob of mercury. You put your thumb on him and he scatters. Reporter Robert Douglas fairhurst is the author of the story of alice, Lewis Carroll and the secret history of wonderland. Why cant we find him . Probably because he was intensely private. There is one of his letters in which he says that his is to remain personally unknown to the world. Reporter but he wanted alice to be known and he was a shrewd marketer. He rewrites it for young children. He puts picture on biscuit tins like modern franchising. Reporter and when the technology arrived, alice became a movie star. This is the first film adaptation. It was originally 12 minutes long. At the time, 1903, it made the longest film yet produced in britain. Reporter Lewis Carrolls story gave us the mad hatter, the white rabbit and the cheshire cat but most of all it is alice who attracts us. She is anything we want her to be. Although carroll would write a story that sent her through the mirror. And what happens is she reflects reporter 150 years later, alice hasnt aged a day. Anthony mason, cbs, new york. Thats the overnight news for this wednesday. For some of you the news continues. For others check back with us a little later for the morning news and of course cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im scott pelley. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. The gop president ial hopefuls gathered in milwaukee last night for round four of their primetime debates. Donald trump and ben carson were center stage. Chris christie and Mike Huckabee were kept off the main stage and Lindsey Graham and George Pataki werent even invited. Heres some of what the candidates had to say. Are you sympathetic to the protesters calls since a 15 wage works out to about 31,000 a year . I cant be. The reason i cant be is that we are a country that is being beaten on every front economically, militarily. Theres nothing that we do now to win. We dont win anymore. Our taxes are too high. Ive come up with a tax plan that many, many people like very much. It is going to be a tremendous plan. I think it will make our country and our economy very dynamic, but taxes too high, wages too high. Were not going to be able to compete against the world. I hate to say it, but we have to leave it the way it is. People have to go out and work hard and get in to that upper stratum. But we cannot do this if we are going to compete with the rest of the world. We just cant do it. As far as the minimum wage is concerned, people need to be educated on the minimum wage. Every time we raise the minimum wage, the number of jobless people increases. It is particularly a problem in the black community. Only 19. 8 of black teenagers are jobs. They are looking for one. Thats because of those high if you lower those wages, that comes down. I can remember as a youngster, you know, my first job working in a laboratory, as a lab assistant. And multiple other jobs but i would not have gotten those jobs if someone had to pay me a large amount of money. But what i did gain from those jobs is a tremendous amount of experience and how to operate in the world, how to relate to different people, and how to become a responsible individual. Thats what gave me what i needed to ascend the ladder of opportunity in this country. Thats what we need to think about, how do we allow people to ascend the ladder of opportunity, rather than how do we give them everything and keep them dependent. My parents were never rich people. My father was a bartender my mother a maid they worked for a living but they were successful because despite the fact they werent well educated and had those jobs they made enough money to buy a home in a safe, stable neighborhood and leave their four children better off than themselves. We call it the American Dream but it is a universal dream that people have all over the world. It is a reminder that every country in the world has rich people. What makes America Special is we have millions and millions of people that are not rich that through hard work and perseverance are able to be successful. The problem is people are not successful working harder than ever because the economy is providing jobs that pay enough. If i thought raising the minimum wage would be the best way to increase pay, i would be all for it but it isnt. In the 21st century it is a disaster. If you raise the minimum wage, you are going to make people more expensive than a machine. In the state of ohio, not the only acting executive on the stage today we have a moderate increase in the minimum wage. I have to tell you, my father carried mail on his back. His father was a coal miner. He died of black lung. My mothers mother lived with us. She could barely speak english. I come from a town if the wind blew the wrong way people found themselves out of work. Economic theory is fine but people need help. I have a plan that would cut taxes but not 11 or 12 trillion and put my children further in debt, but i have a plan that will cut taxes, lower the income tax rate for individuals, lower the tax for businesses so businesses will compete here and not move operations overseas. And also a plan the only plan of anyone standing on the stage to get us to a balanced budget by the end of the second term. Can we just send 5 Million People back with no affect on the economy . We have to send people out. Look, we are a country of laws. We either have a country or we dont have a country. We are a country of laws. We have to go out and come back and come back and hopefully they get back. But we have no choice if we are going to run our country properly and if we are going to be a country. If people think we are going to ship 11 Million People who are lawabiding, in this country and somehow pick them up at their house and ship them out to mexico, think about the families. Think about the children. So, you know, the answer really is, if they have been law abiding they pay a penalty. They get to stay. We protect the law. Anyone else who comes over, they go back but for the 11 Million People, come on, folks. We all know you cant pick them up and ship them back across the border. Its a silly argument. Its not an adult argument. It makes no sense. All i can say is you are lucky in ohio you struck oil. Thats one thing. Let me just tell you, that Dwight Eisenhower good president , great president , people liked him. The expression i like ike moved 1. 5 million Illegal Immigrants out of this country. Moved them just beyond the border, they came back. Moved them beyond the border they came back. Didnt like it. Moved them way south. They never came back. Dwight eisenhower. Thank you, donald for allowing me to speak at the debate. Really nice of you. Really appreciate that. What a generous man you are. 12 million Illegal Immigrants to send them back, 500,000 a month, is just not possible. Its not embracing american values. It would tear communities apart. It would send a signal we are not the kind of country that i know america is. Even having this conversation sends a powerful signal. They are doing high fives in the Clinton Campaign right now when they hear this. Thats the problem with this. The way you win the presidency is practical plans. Lay them out there. What we need to do is allow people to earn legal status where they pay a fine, where they work, where they dont commit crimes. Where they learn english. Over an extended period of time they earn legal status. Thats the proper path. What was said was right, the democrats are laughing because if republicans join democrats as the party of amnesty we will lose. You know, i understand that when Mainstream Media covers immigration it doesnt often see it as an economic issue, but i can tell you for millions of americans at home watching this, it is a very personal economic issue. I will say the politics of it would be very, very different if a bunch of lawyers of bankers were crossing the rio grande. Or if a bunch of people with journalism degrees were coming over and driving down the wages in the press. Cbs news will be hosting saturdays democratic debate from des moines, iowa.

On capitol hill there are calls to overhaul the way federal workers get security clearances. The office of Personnel Management overlooked important background information. Edward snowden, Chelsea Manning and aaron alexis. Snowden and manning had reams of classified documents and alexis killed dozens of people at the navy yard. Aaron alexis was profoundly psychotic when he hunted employees in a u. S. Navy office in 2013. He was armed with a shotgun and a clearance to handle military secrets. He was able to exploit his position of trust and gain access to building where he murdered his colleagues. 12 of his colleagues. Others wounded. Reporter Paul Stockton is a former assistant secretary of defense who led an investigation in to the massacre. What was with it about his security clearance that jumped out at you right from the start . Aaron alexis should have never been granted a security clearance. Reporter this is a draft the public has never seen of a separate federal investigation in to the alexis case. In his security clearance application, alexis said he lived in seattle but worked in manhattan. No one asked about that. Alexis told the investigator that a felony arrest on his record for letting air out of someones tires. He didnt mention that he let the air out with a. 45 caliber glock handgun. That detail was in a Seattle Police report that also said alexis had a blackout fuelled by anger. But theres no record any investigator pursued that police report. That kind of violent behavior, that problem of impulse control, that should be a prime signal that this person is not, repeat not appropriate to have the trust associated with a security clearance. Reporter aaron alexis Background Investigation, like most, was done by a private company under contract with the federal office of Personnel Management, known as the opm. Opm sends the results of its investigation to the various federal agencies and those agencies decide whether to grant the security clearance. Demand is enormous. More than 4 million americans have security clearances and opm conducts 600,000 security clearance investigations a year. That comes to 2,000 a day. After 9 11, the number of people who gained security clearances were rapidly, in fact tripled since 9 11 and today. Was opm prepared for that . There was an enormous backlog of security clearance investigations and congress decided getting rid of that backlog and increasing the pace with which investigations could be conducted was very, very important. It was a top priority. We literally had stacks of files on the floor because we had no more places to put them. Reporter brenda persons,. Kathy treese and linda dei were three people at the department of defense who granted or denied clearances based on the investigations of the office of Personnel Management. They were called adjudicators and they have recently retired. I consider opm to be the jv of Background Investigations. Not the varsity team. Not the varsity team. They told us that opms investigations often have major omissions. Someeven skip the required interview with the person applying for the clearance. The office of Personnel Management says, look, theres a problem with the file, send it back. Well work on it again. We would send a majority of them back. No one would ever get a clearance. The files were that defective . Yeah, they were that defective. Another defective file involved Army Private Bradley manning. Did you have any reason to doubt mannings loyalty to the United States in. Yes. N. Yes. . Yes. Reporter in 2009, she was mannings supervisor in an Intelligence Unit headed to iraq. American flag that was on my shoulder. I said what does this flag mean to you and he said it Means Nothing to me. I hold no allegiance to this country and the people in it. Reporter how does he get a top secret security clearance . Thats a good question. Reporter mannings security clearance investigation failed to check a complaint that his step mother made with Oklahoma City police. If they had, they might have heard her 911 call. My husbands 18yearold son is out of control and just threatened me with a knife. Reporter if investigators had checked his enlistment papers, they might have seen that he wrote that he joined the military to sort out the turmoil and mess in my life. Before mannings top secret clearance was granted, he stabbed a soldier with a pencil and was ordered in to counselling for fits of rage. I went directly to my superior. And told them what . I said he cannot be trusted with a security clearance. We cant deploy him and hes most likely a spy. Reporter she told us her superior said they couldnt afford to lose a man with a valuable top secret clearance. In iraq said she confronted manning after he repeatedly violated the rules, including sneaking a camera and recordable cds in to this high Security Intelligence vault. He screamed at the top of his lungs and came and punched me right in the face and body i put him in a hold. I asked him if this is what he wants. And he said he is just tired of everybody watching his activities. Reporter this guy has done multiple things at this point that a soldier could be courtmartialed for . Yes. Hes a train wreck . Yes. And his security clearance never gets pulled . Correct. Reporter over eight months, manning used the cds to record hundreds of thousands of secrets in that vault, and deliver them to the website wikileaks. I was sick. But it didnt surprise me. I knew it all along. Reporter manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison where she is now known as Chelsea Manning, a transgender woman. In 2009, linda deis office at the pentagon relied on opm investigations of soldiers like manning to decide whether to grant security clearances but dei began to suspect problems with the fbi name check. A search the fbi does of its criminal database at the request of opm. Dei saw cases where clearances were granted before the results of the fbi were complete. I was alerted to a potential problem when all of a sudden an investigation that opm closed over a year before now included classified information from the fbi name check. How important was that piece of information, that fbi report in making an adjudication . I thought it was probably the most important lead in an investigation. Considering that an adjudicator is to try to determine whether subject is loyal to the United States, the kinds of crimes that espionage, terrorism, thats what that lead told us. Reporter linda dei wasnt the only one suspicious. The federal investigator looking in to aaron alexis case wrote in his report the fbi name checks appeared curious. As a test he decided to examine at random top secret security clearance investigations for translators who were working in iraq and afghanistan. He wrote, we reviewed the investigative files of ten. The opms report shows none of the subjects had an fbi file, when in fact there were fbi records on seven of the ten. Are there people today who have clearances and should not have them . Yes. We have spies in our midst. Im convinced of it. Reporter john is a former deputy secretary of defense who that advises the pentagon. Our system is very obsolete in my point of view. Reporter he says because the foundation of each investigation is a questionnaire called a standard form 86 which the applicant fills out himself. Aaron alexis got away with lying on the form about his gunrelated arrest and manning lied about his mental health. Also, regulations dont allow investigators to search the applicants social media because of privacy concerns. Its amazing what people will say on their facebook account that they dont say on security clearance. Reporter edward snowden, the National SecurityAgency Contractor that pulled off the biggest theft of u. S. Secrets ever had a Background Investigation no better than mannings or aaron alexis. When we have failures they are catastrophic. The failure with snowden was catastrophic. So our big elaborate, expensive that was truly important.

Reporter championship and olympic results in athletics going back years, wherever the russians won are now being reassessed. The report says not only athletes were involved but so were russian antidoping officials and even the state security services. The report alleges that russians engaged in systemic doping, took bribes to conceal test results and destroyed incriminating samples. Travis tygart is head of the u. S. Antidoping agency. The evidence does not suggest anything other than a statesupported system to win at all costs and rob clean athletes on the global playing field. Reporter sport and performance enhancement goes back a long way. Right back to the soviet union. When winning on the world stage was seen not only as a sport but also as a political victory. In modern russia, too, president putin leading by example has put sport front and center in his campaign to boost his countrys prestige with the high point coming in 2014 at the Winter Olympics in sochi.
