Trump calls his boycott of tonights fox news debate an eye for an eye. He plans a campaign event. While seven of his republican rivals share the stage in prime time. A new poll out this morning shows 32 of likely Republican Voters in iowa support trump. Ted cruz is in second place with 25 . Only one other candidate, marco rubio, is in double digits. Major garrett is in des moines where crews take center stage for the first time in a debate. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. The boycott and art of the deal maneuver is playing out hourbyhour. The fox and trump camps continue to negotiate, but, for now, the gop frontrunner has an event university at the same time as the debate. The purported purpose . To raise funds for veterans organizations. Trumps republican rivals either dont buy it or find it farcical. I got a fair question for somebody but we dont talk about that. Reporter in South Carolina wednesday, donald trump portrayed his boycott of the debate his textbook negotiating ploy. I was not treated fairly. You know that . Does everybody agree with that . You know in life, when with i fight with you, im fighting the same way. You have to be treated fairly. Reporter ted cruz dropping in some polls but betting on a ground game in iowa said trump is a coward. Not that he is afraid of me. He is afraid of you. Reporter cruz who will likely become the number one debate target tonight proposed a final time and place for a debate with trump. How about the two of us in a oneonone debate manomano . We have a venue, we have a all we are missing is a candidate. Foxs prime time king bill oreilly urged trump to reconsider. Here is it is what. Bill, let me tell you. Youre taking this much more seriously than i am. Who is . I want you to consider, all right . Think about it. Say, look. I might come back. Forgive. Go forward. I dont like being taken advantage of. In this case, i was being taken advantage of by fox. Reporter trump simplified his tactics in terms familiar to his supporters. If im representing the country as president , i wont let our country, because its a personality trait. Im not going to let our country be taken advantage of. Reporter trumps gop rivals frustrated at being frozen out of another media moment, fumed. I got a 20 dollar debate hell show up. I went up a couple of points, i would say. Interesting side show. Greatest show on earth this is not a show. Reporter a super pac to put up 1. 5 million if he accepts the texas senators debate challenge. Two organizations said they will not accept any donations from trumps event here tonight. Thanks, major. Wall street journal kim strassel is with us and writes a column that appears weekly in the newspaper and please to have you. Welcome. Nice to be here. Could this be a big mistake for donald trump . I think it is. This is the key moment for iowa voters. They are tuned in. They are paying a lot of attention to this one debate, because by the way, the rnc cut back on the number of debates so there is a lot of focus on this one. We know 4 out of 10 of those voters still say they could change their mind. Donald trump is going to be up on that stage and all of his competitors as you can see, are going to be leveling charges at him and he will be not be there. Do you there is an empty chair . I think a possibility. Fox and rnc said they wont have an empty podium there. Do you think as karl rove made enough to blow his lead, that it is a small enough lead in iowa that can could be the margin of difference . The problem is we dont really know what his lead is. The number one question that everyone has out there in iowa is how devoted are donalds supporters . Are they devoted celebrity watchers . The kinds that will stand in line five hours to get a ticket or the kind of people go out on a cold night to a caucus and those could be very different people. You believe big turnout numbers at these rallies doesnt translate into the votes at the end of the day . Thats what nobody knows. In the past, you can have about 120,000 people who are regular caucus goers to the republican caucus. Registration has not necessarily changed a lot in iowa. So has donald trump actually taken some of those voters or not . Could marco rubio benefit from all of this . He has been very strategic. He was a big believer that you the past week and polls are coming out showing he is moving up. He has the endorsement of the des moines register. And sioux falls newspaper as ernest. So he has a lot of momentum. The New York Times makes the point that the fight is between the leading republicans and roger ailes of fox news network. What do you make of that and trump appeared with oreilly last night and one of their biggest stars begged him to reconsider . I think the toughest thing for the media you want a donald trump on, good for your ratings, but, you know, at the same time, republicans love to bash on the media. But is this donald trump taking on fox . Because he thinks fox has too much power . It could be. But it also just could be because most republicans think it plays to tell their voters that the media is bad. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Certainly still more to come. Kim strassel, thank you for joining us at the table this morning. Washingtons biggest sanders this morning.

Let me ask you, doctor. Spread by mosquitoes but i know the cdc has reported one case that is spread by other means. Are you concerned about that . We do not believe there is major ways of spreading this apart from mosquito bite.

It was probably as tense as anyone wants to be 30,000 feet in the air. Reporter eric winter was one of 172 passengers on americans flight 109.

The state says it needs to temporarily block the water to replace two historic bridges. Vinita nair is at the falls with the incredibly engineering feet that may be untapped. Good morning. Reporter good morning. You know, when you see and you hear these roaring falls behind me, its hard to imagine that anyone could divert this much water. This is only 15 of the water. The canadian side has 85 of it. But this plan could affect that side as well. Its a view that will take your breath away. More than 750,000 gallons of water gush over the edge every second. But for the millions of tourists who come to see Niagara Falls each year, they could soon be in for a big surprise. What makes us a little bit nervous when the feature attraction, the American Falls has to be turned off even for a short period of time. Reporter yes, turned off the new york state parks niagara riff to the canadian side so it can replace two 250yearold bridges and they have been closed to the public since 2004 and rotted and rusting from a century next to the falls. Either with we replace them or they crumble into the river and if they crumble into the river we have an environmental mess to clean up. Reporter damming the river would make the american side nonxistentnon nonexistent. The dewatering could lead to more visitors seeking a once in a lifetime opportunity. The potential is huge for us to really build a successful and strategic and directed Marketing Campaign around this activity. Reporter but this isnt the first time the iconic falls have stopped flowing. In 1969, the u. S. Army corps of engineers diverted water away from the American Falls for months to study the effects of erosion. Ultimately the temporarily dam was removed along with millions of coins people had tossed in. They can freeze during the winter, or appear to. In 2014 and 2015 during the polar vortex huge ice formations grew out of the falls but underneath the water kept rushing. For locals seeing this powerful icon waterless is a step in the right direction. This is such a beautiful area. Its one of the wonders of the world, and finally, they are putting a money back into this place. Reporter if the project is approved, it will take several years for the work to begin and we are talking about 2019 and they need to get funding. One piece of advice for the engineers is dont start the work in the wintertime. It does look cold there when you hear they want to shut it off, you go no then when you hear why, you say, please shut it off. None of us have been. What does that say . You would say that.

Barkley expressed criticism surrounding newton. There is a racial component, but i hate talking about that, because we, as black people, go to way more important things where race is a factor than something silly like sports. Man, let me tell you something, as much as i love cam newton, if i played against cam newton, id put a hit on him, no question, because they rub it in pretty good. Narrative playing out at, quote, black versus white. On super bowl game day, we just want to see a good game. We do, indeed. On that field. Absolutely. Scalpers are breaking the law to sell overpriced tickets. Rikki klieman is in the toyota green room with the results of an investigation into Online Ticket sales. First on cbs this morning, barbie breakthrough. We are at the Global Headquarters of mattel, where you are getting a firsthand look at the next generation of barbie. Im Mireya Villarreal and coming up on cbs this morning, youre going to get to hear what kids think about these new toys and the brand. I know you want me you know i want you i know you want me you know i want you i want you. New information this morning about how scalpers take advantage of the Online Ticket sales. New yorks attorney general will release a sweeping report today. Brokers can sometimes buy a thousand tickets a minute and then they resell them at very inflated prices. For example, adeles six shows in new york city sold out in less than an hour her concert topped 9,000 dollars cbs news legal expert Rikki Klieman is here to explain how it all works. Good morning. Good morning. I just know it is frustrating. You hear the announcement and you get on the phone and go online and you cant get it. You cant get it. Frustrating is the word. And i think if its something you really have set your heart in, i wish the viewers could have seen you mimicking, adele, norah, it was just perfect. If we have singers or we have shows or we have sporting events that we really want to go to. What is the problem . We cant get the tickets and if we could, the prices are inflated. What eric snyderman, the a. G. Of new york has said which may become a National Example is this. Look. Ticketizing a fixed game. And we are going to change that now. Three years going into this report. So what we find is why cant you get the tickets . Well, the venue, if you look at it as a circle, the venue divides things up. Place in that circle that is going to say its going to the people who are involved, the promoters, the producers, the agents, our friends. Its all electronic and its all online. Why cant they find the people who are perpetrating this . Ultimately, they probably could. The difficult is this, norah. I say it all the Time Technology outpaces the law every single time. Back in 2007, the caps on what with tickets could be sold for, these prices on top, they were lifted and the reason for lifting them was because legislators thought that you would have more competition if there were no caps. So, for example, if you look at orbitz or speed ya for Airline Ticket you look across the top ill take this one, its cheaper and was the idea of lifting the cap. Now what they found is by lifting the caps, who wound up to help . Not the consumer. That was the purpose and now the the reason for that is because of technology. It soueds ironically the attorney general is sounds like the attorney general is stepping up for the consumer in a good way. What is he doing . Number within one, he said, look, the box that want to get a thousand, they are illegal so we are going after them. So you, the legislature, you men and women up in albany, lets ge a criminal penalty. Then what we are looking at is the future. What we are going to have is we are going to have caps. We are in the allow the tickets to go out of sight. Its going to be an example for the nation. Lets see if other people follow. Thanks.

Reporter as a typically white doll with unrealistic proportions, some parents thought barbie was sending the wrong message about beauty. There are people who had turned away from barbie because they wanted dolls that more referable themselves referabled themselves. More in terms of their body type and more in terms of their skin tone. Barbies seemingly perfect appearance while promoting a new line of Action Figures for girls. Reporter last year, mattel introduced 23 new dolls with different skin tones and hair color.

Im going to continue to work hard at being, you know, responsible and a better reflection of the world that girls live in today. Reporter its a risk for the plastic doll that mattel is hoping will result in a real connection. It would be more of a risk if we dont continue to evolve barbie, if we stay stagnant, if she looks the same and did the same thing. She has got to evolve with the times. Reporter for cbs this morning, Mireya Villarreal, in california. Im glad they are making that change. Me too. When youre a little girl, its nice to see a doll that looks like you.
