♪ >> on this st. patrick's day on "cbs this morning saturday," march 17th, 2012. ♪ and good morning. happy st. patrick's day. ben, great to have you with us from the l.a. bureau. >> nice st. patrick's day colors. >> everybody's irish on st. patrick's day. >> there you go. >> we have a lot of news on this busy saturday morning including on a more serious note massive explosions in damascus, syria's capital. we'll get to that in a minute. first to our top story this morning, we now know the identity of the u.s. soldier accused in the massacre of 16 afghan civilians, and we know he's back on u.s. soil to await formal charges in the murders. whit johnson is in washington with the latest and whit, good morning to you. >> rebecca, good morning. 38-year-old staff sergeant robert bales arrived at ft. leavenworth, kansas, late last night. originally from ohio, he was a father, a decorated war hero, now facing justice here in the u.s., not in afghanistan, where the alleged atrocities occurred. on an air force cargo jet he touched down at kansas city international airport under heavy security. while in custody, at ft. leavenworth during the investigation, staff sergeant robert bales will be held in pretrial confinement. here he'll undergo an extensive physical and psychological exam. >> now i'm shocked. i'm completely shocked. >> he's a good guy, got put in the wrong place at the wrong time. >> reporter: in his hometown of blake taps, washington, neighbors still can't believe the 11-year veteran is accused of mass murdering 16 afghan civilians. an incident that now threatens to undermine the u.s. war effort. >> he was always happy, happy guy, full of life. i really wouldn't expect it. >> reporter: but court documents show bales once completed 20 hours of anger management treatment for an assault case that was later dropped. his attorney says he joined the army inspired by the horror of 9/11, serving three tours in iraq, bales was injured twice, a head injury from a vehicle rollover, and another that required surgery, costing him part of his foot. his latest tour in afghanistan was his fourth, a trip he reportedly didn't want to make. at ft. lewis-mcchord where bales' wife and children are staying for their protection, military officials want answers. >> we will do what's right and find out and get to the bottom of the situation. >> in 2009, bales spoke with a military publication about a major battle he was part of while serving in iraq. he said, "i've never been more proud to be part of this unit than that day. we discriminated between the bad guys and the non-combatants. i think that's the real difference between being an american as opposed to being a bad guy." bales' attorney is painting him as the victim of battle fatigued soldier who had just seen too much. rebecca? >> whit johnson in washington thank you. joining from us new haven, connecticut, is eugene fidel, teaches military justice at yale. >> good morning. >> what happens next, legally speaking? >> well, two things are going to happen. one is there's going to be a continuing investigation by military investigators to gather evidence. that's going to be a quite a challenge because it's going to take place in afghanistan, and lord knows what the impediments are going to be today. so that's got to be proceeding. at the same time, there are going to be some initial steps in the military justice process in the next few days that's going to be pretrial confinement review hearing to confirm that staff sergeant bales should continue to be in pretrial confinement at ft. leavenworth and the first steps will eventually have to be taken to confine an article 32 investigation, and that's the prelude to a general court-marti court-martial, assuming the case proceeds, unfolds that way. >> as whit johnson just laid it out, staff sergeant bales is being painted as a wonderful soldier, somebody who's been decorated as a soldier, an individual who may even have been dealing with ptsd. how does that play as a defense here? >> well, ptsd is not in itself a defense to anything. the question is whether staff sergeant bales and his attorney -- attorneys are going to be able to mount a successful insanity defense and that is not an easy matter. the person could have all kinds of mental hygiene issues and yet they may not come even close to satisfying the requirements of the law. nonetheless, if he's able to advance evidence of mental illness of some kind, stress, that could go to the question of whether he should receive the death sentence, assuming the case is referred to court-martial and assuming its it's referred as a capital case. i think everybody should catch their breath here and not jump to any conclusions. obviously everyone is very, very concerned about this case, but i also think it's important to respect his right to a fair trial. >> there are certainly those who are pondering what the outcome may be, if this could be a capital punishment case and would president obama then have to sign off on it, if the death penalty were the outcome? >> the law does require the personal affirmative approval of the president of the united states before any military prisoner is executed. we haven't had an execution incidentally since 1961 under the uniform code of military justice. however, i should add that these proceedings are likely to last so long that even if he's reelected, i'm not sure that it would be president obama that would have to give the final approval, if there is a death sentence. >> interesting point, eugene fidell thank you for joining us. >> you're welcome. to syria, two powerful explosions rocked damascus this morning. syrian government news outlet are calling the attack the work of terrorists. charlie dagata has the latest from our london bureau. good morning, what can you tell us? >> good morning to you, ben. at least 27 people have been killed and the number is expected to rise. many people remain in critical condition. my colleagues in damascus describe the twin bombings as the biggest the capital has seen in terms of the size of the explosions and damage done. it shows three and four-story buildings completely demolished. the targets appeared to be aviation intelligence and criminal departments. these are upscale neighborhoods that bore the brunt of the blast. the first one went off around 7:30 local time and others seconds later two miles away. syrian reports say it appears to be the work of suicide bombers who detonated car bombs. just last week kofi annan met with president assad to bring an end to the violence. 8,000 deaths by u.n. estimates. nobody's claimed responsibility for today's bombings in its capital. in the past the government's been quick to blame al qaeda. >> charlie, you mentioned this as the capital, the seed of power for president assad. how significant are these attacks there? >> the capital has seen a string of attacks since december and those were aimed at the intelligence departments, so they strike at the heart of assad's power base but damascus has largely been spared the violence and assad has some support in the capital. more than anything my colleagues describe the solid majority neither backing nor opposing assad, they just want an end to the violence. attacks like these support his justification his fight are against terrorists who are determined to destroy the country. >> charlie d'agata in london thanks. former rutgers student dharun ravi faces sentencing may 21 after being found guilty on 15 charges. "48 hours" correspondent erin moriarty, who is also an attorney is here on this unusual case. >> good morning. you and i both have been talking about this for the past 24 hours. this was a first, a hate crime conviction based on invasion of privacy. jurors concluded the defendant spied on his roommate, tightler clementi in order to intimidate him. from the outset there was little question that an invasion of privacy occurred. the defendant, dharun ravi admitted it during a police interview. >> did you violate his privacy? >> yes, i did. >> reporter: ravi set up this web cam when he learned his roommate was meeting a man. he watched them embrace on the camera. middlesex county prosecutor bruce kaplan. >> i think they emphasized and accepted the evidence that tyler believed he was being targeted. >> reporter: there was a large number of text messages, e-mails and tweets sent by ravi shown during the trial, messages like this, "i set my computer to alert me. yeah, keep the gays way." >> they didn't know how to deal with it. >> the defense argued dharun rah offie was immature and there was no bias. some experts who monitor hate crime legislation say his actions don't add up to a typical hate crime. >> comes out as a somewhat immature 18 years old, now 20 years old, who had attitudes that wouldn't be out of place in any locker room in america. >> erin, you've been following this case closely, you have the hate crime but there's no threats, no violence. how significant is that? do you think we're looking at a new precedent here? >> i don't know if it's precedent because he was convicted under a state of new jersey law, and other states have different laws but certainly we could see states enact a law similar or we could see prosecutors decide to bring charges for acts that don't quite meet the definition of hate. hate usually involves violence and threats of violence and this is something lesser. what's also i think significant about this verdict is that this case involves so much electronic evidence, the e-mails, the tweets, so now if a prosecutor decides to bring a case like this, there's probably more evidence. people say the dumbest things in e-mails and texts, things they don't necessarily mean and the jury may interpret it the way the juror wants to. >> people have to be careful about what they're saying and doing. >> it actually affected me. i think parents should be talking to kids, but now i'm having second thoughts about everything you put down, because you can't get the context from a tweet or a text or an instant message, and i think that's what really hurt him. he tried to tell dharun ravi in the police interview said he was just being sarcastic. who can tell? those were just his words. >> this is bias intimidation they're saying and the judge saying there's murky laws around this, as it stands. what do you think happens on that count? >> absolutely. when the judge was actually talking about jury instructions, he said in open court, the law is muddled. i could have written a better law. i actually think that may help the defendant in this case when this comes to an appeal. also the jury was taking a look at the state of mind of tyler clementi but they never heard that tyler clementi had taken pictures of the george washington bridge in the summer, way before he met dharun ravi, that didn't come into the trial so that may help with an appeal. >> fascinating case. thanks so much. >> thanks. now we turn to politics, tuesday is another crucial day for the republican candidate, the illinois primary could reinvigorate mitt romney's push toward the nomination or give another boost to rick santorum's bid to become the front-runner. let's talk it over with cbs news political director john dickerson in washington. good morning to you. >> good morning, rebecca. >> you've got the two candidates here, mitt romney has more delegates whereas rick santorum appears to have more momentum. how does that shake out n your view? >> we're all as you say looking towards illinois and the question will be once again whether one of those two candidates can go into the other's territory and pick up some votes. can mitt romney get the most conservative members of the party, evangelical voters or can rick santorum finally get out of that portion of the party that he does well in, the most conservative voters and get some moderates and other kinds of voters he hasn't been able to get yet. that's what we're looking for tuesday. >> is the strategy go after the places with the most delegates or go after the momentum that's going to rels nasonate the most a party going into a convention that may or may not have a nominee? >> the answer is yes, both candidates are trying to get in both kinds of things. rick santorum has to keep winning again. he has to show he's viable outside of the niche of the party he's got but also got to start picking up delegates. he's never going to surpass mitt romney in the delegate count before the convention but what he hopes to do is limit the number of delegates mitt romney gets so romney doesn't pass that crucial threshold of 1,144. mitt romney wants to get delegates to keep saying i'm well ahead of everyone else, marching on to the convention. forget about the noise of various contests i may not win. i've got the numbers of what are required to get the nomination of my party. >> that is a question. does mitt romney, i mean can he even get to that 1144 number by the time of the convention? >> it depends on these future contests. he has some strengths. april will probably be a good month for him. it gets complicated because the delegates are apportioned in different states in different ways, but there's still a path for him to get to 1,144. there are also ways in which even if he gets to that number, candidates like santorum or gingrich could fight at the convention, take some delegates way, it gets complicated but there is still a path for romney to get to 1,144 but he has to perform well and he has to perform consistently well. >> does that path work better or worse if newt gingrich stays in it and what are the chances he drops out? >> another disappointing answer. it depends. gingrich, if he is a vibrant candidate, attacking and causing mischief, then it's a problem probably for mitt romney as the front-runner. if he siphons votes away from rick santorum, if gingrich splits the sort of non-romney vote, that's probably good for mitt romney, because it means his competition is split. but on the other hand, if gingrich is staying in the race and wins some delegates, sometimes you can win delegates even if you don't win a congressional district, you win at-large delegates, then he's picking up delegates that could potentially come up to mitt romney. even a small number of delegates gingrich might get could deprive mitt romney of getting to 1,144 which is important for the nomination so in that case it would be bad if he stays in the race. all of these things are held up in the air. we have to see how these contests play out. >> and this has really become a numbers game down to the last moment. john dickerson thanks so much. we appreciate it. >> thanks, rebecca. now for the rest of the morning's headlines we turn to "morning news" anchor betty nguyen. >> good morning, i love the green. >> i like your little green drop. >> i actually qualify today. welcome. good morning, everybody. after george clooney is out of jail this morning after being arrested during a protest outside sudan's embassy in washington it was part of a group demanding a solution to a humanitarian crisis that has put hundreds of thousands of people at risk of starvation. elaine quijano reports. >> reporter: moments before

justice. i want justice be served. this guy should be locked up. >> that's justice to you? >> that's justice. >> reporter: local prosecutors promise a thorough, deliberate and just review of the case but would set no date for deciding whether to pursue criminal charges. mark strassmann, cbs news, atlanta. >> joining us now to discuss the case is defense attorney lauren laken. good morning to you. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. >> why do we think in the first place the 911 tapes have been released? >> i think because of pressure by the parents, the community. there was actually a suit filed by the parents of trevon martin, an attorney, a hearing on this monday. i this i that pressure made the sanford police department go ahead and release those tapes. >> the family is also requesting that the fbi get involved. they're suggesting that there might be discrimination involved here on the part of the sanford police department. what are the chances then, given that the 911 tapes have been released that we also see the fbi get involved? >> on the state level, they are not going to handle this case accordi accordingly. right now it's at the state's attorney's office. perhaps they can review the facts and see whether or not an arrest should happy the community and many, many of the witnesses are saying, definitely should at least occur. right now, they feel like the sanford police department has taken it upon themselves to decide that this case was, in fact, a case of self-defense, but usually that's what juries decide, and they decide if there's no probable cause to believe a crime has been committed, but that's usually what grand juries decide. so this police department has a funny history and people believe that racial profiling, bias is definitely wreaking in this case. >> you mentioned what's typical of both grand juries and juries making these calls. is it typical that you would see a case like this, where somebody claims self-defense, and ultimately no arrest is made. is that a common thing in a case like this? >> look, i'm a criminal defense attorney. facts like this, you don't see. no arrest made? we just believe the guy, we believe the guy. he said it's self-defense and we believe hill. and this young teen has a can of iced tea, and skittles, unarmed. >> no weapon. >> no weapon. maybe he's wearing his hoodie. what made him look so suspicious. to me he's doing what his mother would tell him to do. it's raining, you put your hood up as you're coming home from 7-eleven. that to me in and of itself has not been answered. it wreaks of racial profiling. we do not know -- they've determined that george zimmerman, the neighborhood watchman is actually hispanic but that doesn't change the fact that this could still be a case of racial profiling, racial bias, and this killing seems so senseless because we have not established yet what this young boy has done to be suspicious. >> and you mentioned george zimmerman determined to be hispanic, based off of a letter his father sent to the local paper there. what do you think happens next in this case? >> i think the state's attorney's office has to really look at this case. i do believe ultimately with pressure from community, the parents, they have over 250,000 signatures on change.org calling for the arrest of this man, because truthfully, there are facts here that indicate that this young boy was crying out for help, and was shot dead. the protocol was not followed. he was a neighborhood watchman, and then he didn't even stay in the car which the 911 operator told him to do, stay put. help is on the way. this man chose to get out in be in pursuit of this young boy. the facts indicate that there is probable cause to believe a crime may have been committed, and this man should at least be arrested and let justice serve its course. >> lauren lake, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> we appreciate your time this morning. we turn to lonnie quinn for another check of the weather. >> good morning to you rebecca. good morning, everybody. beautiful iconic shot, new york city, the empire state building. last night, the city will always light up

>> reporter: well, yesterday karzai met with villagers where the massacre took place, sharing their anger over the murders. karzai said u.s. forces lost a delegation from interviewing the american soldier. karzai questioned whether only one soldier could have been responsible for the rampage that took so many lives. yet the americans insist that it was one rogue soldier. allowed afghan officials to look at security footage that showed him return to base, drop his weapon and put his arms in the air. >> so mandy, the u.s. is making the case that this is one rogue soldier. is there anything else the americans in your view, and the view of people on the ground there, can do to get this back on the right track? >> reporter: well, it's critical for the american mission here to get it back on the right track, because u.s. forces are technically guests of the afghan government. on thursday, karzai called for all in a cotroops to be pulled out of villages and return to the main bases and also wants security handed over to afghan force ises by 2013, a year ahead of the american schedule. yesterday president obama called karzai and agreed to further discuss those issues at the chicago summit in may. >> mandy clark in kabul, afghanistan, thank you. we appreciate it. for the rest of this morning's headlines we turn to "morning news" anchor betty nguyen. >> good morning to you both and good morning to you. as we noted in speaking with ma and psychological testing. he's nottet why been charged in the killings of 16 afghan civilians. former ohio autoworker convicted of nazi war crimes has died in germany. de trevon a trevon uke was a guard at a death camp in nazi occupied poland before entering the u.s. after the war. he was found guilty of taking part in the murder of 28,000 people. he was 91 years old. honda has agreed to pay tens of thousands of owners of honda's civic hybrids to settle a class action settlement over fuel economy. the suit claims the cars did not achieve the fuel economy claim in honda advertising. honda will pay owners of civic hybrids from model years 2003 to 2009 up to $200 each and offer them a rebate toward the purchase of a new honda. the duchess of cambridge celebrated with a military flourish. the former kate middleton, wife of prince william marked the holiday in london handing out shamrocks to members of the royal irish guard. the tradition goes back to the guard's first regimental st. patrick's day celebration and that was back in 1901. now i'm feeling lonnie quinn wasn't around back then, but he's here today. >> no. just missed it. top of the morning to you. let's get to it. i want to start off with out r with our beautiful shot of empire state building. let's get to the weather headlines. a lot of you will be asking yourself what is going on?

stop! >> so the question is, do these ads really work, and do they go too far? joining us now are matt mcdonald, executive creator director of jwt, one of the world's largest advertising agencies and cbs "morning" contributor lee woodruff. >> good morning. >> we've seen this scared straight approach before. does this actually work. >> absolutely it does. first of all we're talking about it and we're talking about it here, which is the first sign that something's working. i think ads like this one are provocative, they're shocking but they're also, they're telling the truth and they're forcing people to confront a reality that may be uncomfortable, but it forces them to take action and to listen, and to sort of change their preconceived notions of what date rape could be. >> i have to admit i literally looked away, because it was, it's hard to watch something like that, and lee, you're the mother of two 12-year-old girls. is that the kind of thing you want them to see and do you think it would impact them positively to change their actions in the future? >> i do. i don't know that i would have them watch it right now. i think some of that is about timing but they're in middle school and i think in another year or so that's a conversation we will absolutely have, and i think that kind of graphic shock value stuff works on kids when you're talking about that kind of behavior. >> i'm curious about the shock factor. there's another ad about anti-smoking, these graphic ads that are out there. and some people wonder if the shock factor takes over and you kind of lose the message of the actual ad. what do you think? >> it's interesting. there's a 2003 study that proved that shocking images and shocking has forced people to recall the message more and changes behavior especially among young people so i think that, you know, beyond just the way we have a visceral reaction to the ads they do work and we know that academically. >> although i think smoking with kids is a little bit different. a, it's an addiction. so you're up against a nicotine addiction, and i think also, kids are impervious. it's not going to happen to me. i think smoking is harder than something like date rape. >> so as a parent, lee, what do you think would get through to your children? >> on smoking? >> yes. is there something or is this one of those problems and i see you shaking your head, matt. >> i think you need to do different tactics to reach different audiences. i know the cdc's campaign is targeting older smokers, people who might be concerned about their personal health. kids you might need another tactic. there is he a famous truth campaign that went against the tobacco industry and said these companies are targeting you and made them the enemy and i this i that's a really effective message to kids because they're not worried about their health right now, but they do want to know if somebody's coming after them. >> i did a story in montana they were trying to combat the meth problem and showed what kids would look like on meth years later and that really had an impact on those kids and really dropped their meth rates. do you think some of it is how you relate to the teenager? >> sure. >> i do. i think you have to, i think a kid has to relate to a kid. to show a child the ads, the cdc ads for example with older people they'll think i'm never going to be that old. you're never going to get to 30, when you're 10. so some of it, too, is peer pressure and i think now more education in schools and smoking being uncool kind of, that works so much more than sometimes just an ad. e> great points. le woodruff, matt mcdonald, thanks for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. up next the brutal murder of jonbenet ramsey, her father speaks about his difficult journey and what he learned 15 years later. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." my dentist said that the acid in fruit, or fruit juice or fruit teas softens the enamel so that then it can potentially erode. once that enamel is gone, it's gone. my dentist recommended that i use pronamel to help harden that enamel so that it's not brushed away. pronamel protects your teeth from the effects of acid erosion. i don't have to cut out the things that i love in my diet. i can have the best of both worlds with pronamel.

>> well it seems like it was really just yesterday in many respects. it's hard to believe it was 15 years ago. >> one of the things that strikes me is, we talked about how you and your wife were considered suspects for 12 years. >> yep. >> as you're going through this tragedy of losing your daughter, what does it feel like to have people think of you as someone who may have killed her? >> well, it was interesting, because of course in the beginning, you know, the crushing blow was the loss of our child so the rest of this, the craziness was just noise level in our lives. didn't matter. we'd lost our child, but we received so much compassion from our fellow man, we would be out for dinner or out on the street walking and people would stop us and give us hugs and apologize, and it was overwhelming. people asked me, what was it like to be out in public, you know, thinking that people would be hateful, but they weren't. they were kind and it was just really an uplifting experience to realize the compassion that our fellow man would show to someone who is hurting. >> in the book you describe the scene when you find your daughter in the basement. i can't imagine what this was like to go back and relive all of this again. why write this book now? >> well i wanted it to be an encouragement, not necessarily a recap of what happened, but an encouragement of how do you recover when you're thrown a curveball in life both in terms of your, how you read the future, your hope, your spiritual journey, all of those things that are impacted and i dealt with that, and made some mistakes, and i wanted to share my experiences with people. >> you say you made some mistakes. was it a mistake then in your estimation to have jonbenet participate in pageantry? >> well, it -- at the time, patsy and jonbenet had fun with it, it was a mother/daughter thing. they didn't really take it terribly seriously. there was an element in the environment that was, people did take it seriously and i didn't care for that particularly. >> did you ever voice that concern? >> no, and i probably should have but patsy had recovered from ovarian cancer. she frankly didn't know how long she had to live, how much time she had to spend with her daughter so i think she was trying to pack a lot in to each day, and so i let them have fun. >> and now we have these shows on tvs like "toddlers and tiaras." do you have a warning for parents whether this is a good idea? >> i've not watched those shows other than just catch snippets of them as i'm surfing channels but that's pretty bizarre. children need to be children and patsy's philosophy was to let her children try what they think they might like to try, to see what they're good at, and jonbenet was an extremely extroverted little girl, so that was an avenue for her to express that capacity, but to -- if that's not your child's gifting, then no. and certainly not to put them on public display, that's not good. >> it's an interesting book and you talk about moving forward with life. you're recently remarried. i'm glad to hear things have moved along. >> thank you. >> thank you for being here. >> my pleasure. up next if you're been hungering for "the hunger games" we'll look at whether the much anticipated film will have the same bite as the blockbuster "twilight" films. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." this portion sponsored about i novolog flexpen. ask your doctor about the benefits today. i need on-the-go insulin delivery. that's why i use novolog® flexpen®. flexpen® is prefilled with my fast-acting insulin. i dial my exact dose. inject by pressing a button. flexpen® is insulin delivery my way. novolog® is a fast-acting insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes. do not inject if you do not plan to eat within 5 to 10 minutes after injection to avoid low blood sugar. tell your healthcare provider about all medicines you take, and all of your medical conditions, including if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. the most common side effect is low blood sugar. other possible side effects include reactions at the injection site. get medical help right away if you experience serious allergic reactions, body rash, trouble with breathing, fast heartbeat or sweating. flexpen® is there when i need it, just like my pit crew. ask your doctor about novolog® flexpen. covered by 90% of insurance plans, including medicare. find your co-pay at myflexpen.com. causing dark marks to become visible. dove has the effective solution. new dove clear tone antiperspirant with calendula and sunflower seed extracts. it moisturizes to help accelerate natural skin renewal processes... helping skin to repair itself while still keeping you dry. the result?

>> there are so many themes that are resident, self-sufficiency, individualism, social tyranny, which is always resonant for anyone who has ever been to high school so it really has a lot of themes that resonate also in a recession, you know, she's a hunter, she's self-sufficient, individualism, so it has a lot of gravity and weight at this time. >> now we're talking about the level of weight that "twilight" had, maybe more and you were talking to me in the break this appeals to a broader audience. >> the "twilight" movie was at its heart a love triangle. there's a love triangle in "the hunger games" but also violence, a much more darker and sinister movie so it will appeal to older audiences and appeal to young men where "twilight" was the girls who wanted to see the cute guys. >> "twilight" is a little campy and from starting the book it seems pretty dark. it got a pg-13 rating. who is this appropriate for? >> the book is more violent than the movie. they did tone down the violence in the movie, this he needed the pg-13 movie because they want teenagers into the seats. >> elizabeth banks, woody harrellson, lenny kravitz, big names involved but this is more of the breakout stars, the young people who are starring in this film that we haven't heard a lot about in the past. >> certainly jennifer lawrence has had her breakout film but this was in indy. this is going to give her millions of new fans, and josh hutcherson and liam hensworth were unknowns so they are going to be the breakout stars of this film. >> the other star is the author, suzanne collins. she's the suburban mom from connecticut, i just think it's fascinating. how is she handling this tidal wave that this movie is now going to create? >> it's interesting. she wrote "the hunger games" as a comment on her distaste for media and reality television and here she is in the middle of this media storm. she's -- the books were already successful. the movie also make the books even more successful, and i think she'll find a way to cope with all the attention. >> will she turn the attention down as a result of that distaste? >> well i think you can't. you have to sort of embrace a certain amount of it. her life is going to change. >> it certainly feels like it's going to change, if this is going to get the kind of numbers that "twilight" did or more. marisa guthrie, thank you, with he appreciate it. >> thank you. still ahead, talk about scary, that huge and poisonous scorpion, yes, it is right here in studio with us. it's not the only wild thing from africa in our studio this morning. i don't know about you, ben, can't wait to meet all of them -- ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ♪ it's a good morning, wake up to a brand new day ♪ ♪ good morning, on my way good morning and welcome back to "cbs this morning saturday." i'm rebecca jarvis. >> and i'm ben tracy. there's a crime wave sweeping the country, thieves are stealing buckets of tide laundry deterge detergent. we'll tell you what's going on. >> remember rafii from "the lion king" we'll meet his real life cousin the man da rinne baboon. >> we're a little scared. stay tuned for that. the julia child of ireland, chef darina allen with her ultimate dish, irish stew. >> very tasty. >> all coming up. first over to lonnie for our final check of the weather. >> rebecca, ben. i got to ask you, this is the time of the show we do national days of the year type thing. today is national something day. >> irish?

>> corn dog day is always the first saturday of the ncaa basketball tournament because it combines the love of basketball with the love of meat on a stick. what a combo. the picture right here is what we're looking at. you know what? new york city will end up with a beautiful day for the parade. as of right now, this is your satellite and radar picture. watch me erase the clouds here and you're not going to see too much out there with the exception of just a little bit of rain here or there. the spot i'm watching closely would be out here around the west coast. this low pressure system will bring quite a bit of rain really but only for that portion of the country. the mountain snow also accumulate. you go above 6,500 feet you pick up between a foot and two feet of snow out of that bad boy. here's a quick look at the national picture. here's a closer look at the weather for your weekend. . >> all right it's that time, my shout out today a very special shout out for both ben and rebecca, because, guys, i'm talking minneapolis, minnesota. yes it's your sairt. patrick's parade, you can't forget i'm sure this was big in your lives the blarney blast party, so check it out if you're in the area and we thank everybody for watching "cbs this morning saturday," only on wcco. there you have it. >> twin cities. >> the twin cities. minneapolis-st. paul, woo, woo, woo! >> i'm a st. paul boy so if we don't say st. paul i'll get a lot of flack from the family back home. >> it's all yours. there's a rising tide in thefts. you could call it a grime wave. police say thieves are stealing tide laundry detergent from supermarkets and drugstores. here to explain why this is happening is chris more ran, deputietor for consumerist.org. the first question i have is why? >> tide is a recognizable brand, an expensive brand and highly rated brand especially our sister publication "consumer reports," their highest rated brand of all of them. people like it but it's something they sacrificed when the economy went south. when it came to food or detergent they went with food but if someone offers you, someone offers you a $20 thing of tide for $8 it's tempting not to take them up on the offer regardless of where they got it from. >> there's a tide black market. the thing that shocks me is of all the things to steal this is not exactly the easiest thing to get out of a store. >> it is surprising. it's one of those things that especially the guy in minnesota who stole, he said he stole $25,000 worth of it over the course of 15 months i believe. he literally walked it out in cart after cart right into getaway cars. i would expect if you're going to be stealing this in bulk you'd be stealing it out of the back room, it would be employees or somebody from the distributor stealing it. these are people coming one clever ways to walk out of stores with these things. >> basically they steal all this stuff, they stockpile it somewhere and just kind of selling it on the street or out of their homes? >> selling it, bartering it, drug dealers in baltimore or kentucky, because those are two other areas that they found tide, there were drug dealers who said they had more tide in their apartments plan they did drugs to sell, because it is an expensive product so therefore it's current. if i have to buy $50 in drugs but i can give somebody $100 worth of tide, why not? >> it seems the $40 pack of razor blades i have to buy would be easier to get out of store. >> a lot of that stuff is behind security glass and in a lot of depressed neighborhoods. my old neighborhood in brooklyn, blades, deodorant, shampoo, the expensive stuff was locked behind things, you needed a key. >> besides tide, this is big and bulky, what are some of the other things that people are stealing out of stores? >> out of grocery stores it's always been big is fresh meat, top end meat, not just ground beef, because it's expensive and it's something that people want, and it's something people need. people need to feed their families but don't always have the money. we certainly don't condone shoplifting but we understand why, because you can go months without paying your mortgage but you can't go months without paying for food. you need to eat and so people steal it and most of those people are eating it, they're not selling it. then there's baby formula, a huge thing, both for people to feed their children and also powder baby formula is a big thing in the drug trade to cut up with various powdered drugs so that is stolen a lot. and then there's the standard stuff, candy, you see it on the subway in new york, people walking up and down the subway selling snickers bars. half those people got it legitimate may, the other half maybe not so. >> people are creative. thank you for coming in and explaining this. it's really fascinating that people are doing that. thanks so much. up next a trip on the wild side with an incredibly cute lion cub, and some of his friends from africa. you are watching "cbs this morning saturday." >> good boy. in my line of work, it's not uncommon for the term "hero" to be bandied about. but does bringing a floor back to life really make us heroes?
