Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. A federal judge in washington ruled today that the governments collection of phone records of millions of americans is likely unconstitutional. It is the first time that a federal court has ruled against the once secret Surveillance Program which was exposed by National Security agency leaker edward snowden. In a blistering attack, judge richard leon said he has little doubt that the author of our constitution, james madison, . O9sb be aghast at what judge leon said amounts to an unreasonable search. The judge granted a preliminary injunction to stop the government from collecting the records of the two men who brought the challenge, but then he put that order on hold in the face of a likely appeal. Senior correspondent john miller is former Deputy Director of National Intelligence and, john, what is the n. S. A. s argument for collecting this information . Well, scott, this is all about collecting the massive database of phone numbers dialed by americans. Now, the n. S. A. Is legally barred from spying on americans, but the agency is supposed to gather foreign intelligence that will help prevent another terrorist attack on u. S. Soil. Now, since 2006 wherever the n. S. A. Has learned of a phone number being used by a terrorist Group Overseas one of the first things they want to know is, is that suspect talking to anyone in the United States. To answer that question, the n. S. A. Obtained a blanket order from the foreign Intelligence Surveillance court. It allows the agency to collect the records of what numbers were called by what other numbers and when. The database contains no names, just the numbers, times, and dates. The lawsuit brought by privacy advocates claims that the massive Data Collection by the n. S. A. Violates privacy. The court ruled that the n. S. A. Should get an individual court order to obtain the records in each case rather than relying on a massive database. The n. S. A. s director told me in an interview for 60 minutes that that would present problems for his agency in tracking terrorism suspects on u. S. Soil. Well, the reality is, if you go and do a specific one for each, you have to tell the phone companies to keep those call detail records for a certain period of time. So if you dont have the data someplace, you cant search it. The other part thats important phone companies, different phone companies, have different sets of records and these phone calls may go between different phone companies. If you only go to one company, youll see what that phone company has, but you may not see what the other phone company has or the other. So by putting those together, we can see all of that, essentially, at one time. Reporter in a written opinion, the court called the program pelley now, john, when the snowden revelations came out, the president put a commission together to look at whether the n. S. A. s practices should be changed. That commission has written a report, its not public yet, but you have some information about what theyve come up with. So interestingly, apropos to today, our sources say that commission is going to recommend largely the same thing, which is that the n. S. A. Stop keeping that massive database. That it either live somewhere else maybe at the phone companies and that they get an individual court order for each case. Just important to note the database is just telephone numbers, theres no names in it. To do that, theyd have to give that to the f. B. I. And track down who that number belongs to using warrants and things like that. Pelley john, thanks very much. It caught our eye this evening when a top medical journal strongly advised moat americans to stop taking vitamins. Publication, annals of internal medicine, said vitamins are largely useless and can be dangerous. Most americans dont think so, 52 of adults take a multivitamin. Vitamin sales this year are estimated to be more than 11 billion. We asked dr. Jon lapook to fill us in. Reporter the headline of the editorial accompanying todays studies offers some blunt consumer advice. Enough is enough stop wasting money on vitamin and mineral supplements. Dr. Edgar miller of Johns Hopkins is one of the authors of the editorial. The stop wasting your money means that perhaps youre spending money on things that you that arent going protect you long term. What will protect you if you can spend that money on fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, lowfat dairy, things like that, exercising, would probably be a better use of the money. Reporter the three studies in the annals of internal medicine found routine multivitamin and mineral use did little or nothing to prevent heart disease, cog anity decline and cancer. One trial cited suggests high doses of a supplement may actually be harmful. Vitamin e at a higher dose than in most multivitamins increased the risk of prostate cancer. Many people take the vitamins, they they theyre taking them to prevent chronic disease. They dont. Reporter steve mister is with the council for nutritional responsibility which represents the industry. We know consumers are not getting the recommended nutrients they need everyday, with their hectic lifestyles and diets they simply need to fill in those nutrient gaps that they dont get from the foods they eat. And multivitamins do that. Reporter its true multivitamins replace the vitamin gap but dont supply other nutrients that people get from eating food. Researchers fear some people are getting a false sense of security by relying on a pill rather than a proper diet. Supplements are recommended for women who are pregnant and for people with certain conditions like celiac disease where the body cannot properly absorb nutrients. Pelley thank you very much, doctor. 17yearold claire davis remains in Critical Condition this evening. Shes the student who was shot on friday at a high school in centennial, colorado. Rick salinger of cbs station kcnc has the latest. Reporter this makeshift memorial appeared at Arapaho High School where classes will not resume until after the new year. Fridays attack lasted just 80 seconds. Reporter investigators have reviewed recordings from school cameras to track carl piersons movements. The 18yearold legally purchased the 12 gauge shotgun he used just last week and bought multiple rounds of ammunition on friday. Police say he fired five times at random and hit 17yearold claire davis in the head. But his primary target was debate coach and librarian tracy murphy. Students say murphy had taken disciplinary action against pierson after the student threatened him. Joe redmond was piersons friend. It began with the speech he wrote and it escalated from there and karl took himself so seriously he thought that when we said no to that speech we were saying no to him. Reporter a sheriffs deputy assigned to arapaho and a guard were in the school at the time but pierson shot himself in the library before they could reach him. Piersons family released this statement today. Reporter scott, in another statement, the family of claire davis said she remains in a coma in critical but stable condition. Pelley rick salinger, thank you very much, rick. Today the f. B. I. Said that this year its agents prevented 150 attacks like the one in colorado. The bureau is working with communities to spot potential threats early and our Homeland Security correspondent bob orr gotten a inside look at how it works. Reporter Andre Simmons runs an f. B. I. Unit charged with stopping Mass Shootings before they happen. Three times a week, simmons and the Behavioral Threat Assessment Center confront a case dealing with a potential shooter identified through tips from churches, police, Campus Security and businesses. Businesses. When you study somebody, what is it that jumps off the page at you that this is a real problem, perhaps . What we look at is is there a fascination with previous attacks . Is there an overwhelming sense of a downward spiral. Often in Mass Shootings, as in the attacks of the colorado Movie Theater and the Washington Navy yard, gunmen reveal warning signs to coworkers, neighbors or classmates. Simmons says when the f. B. I. Gets an early heads up about threatening behavior analysts work to redirect the subject from violence to Mental Health treatment, monitoring, or custody. The f. B. I. Team research it is subjects background and often interviews the person and acquaintances. In the past year, the Behavioral Team has tackled 150 cases. Not one resulted in violence. So this isnt about making arrests or locking people up, this is about stopping events. While prosecution obva]asly remains in the f. B. I. One of our main priorities, we really think prevention is even better. Reporter still, the challenge is growing. Fridays gunfire at a Colorado High School is the latest reminder. These active shooters are continuing, so were doing everything we can to unite Mental Health care resources with Law Enforcement and make a positive change. Reporter now, in one case the f. B. I. Interviewed a man who had a shooting range in the basement of his home where he also used pictures of his roommates has targets. Were told the man abused animals and collected firearms but, scott, once contacted by the f. B. I. Team he sought Mental Health treatment. Pelley bob orr in our washington newsroom. Thanks, bob. Today we learned of another high level contact between the eyes and iran. Secretary of state john kerry and foreign minister javad zarif talked by phone over the weekend about the proposed nuclear deal and about moves by the u. S. To punish companies who are doing business with iran in violation of economic sanctions. Zarif also sat down with our Elizabeth Palmer and she joins us now from tehran. Liz . Reporter good evening, scott. Yes, that telephone conversation took place after a diplomatic scuffle on the weekend. The United States suddenly added a whole new list of companies to its sanctions list and took iran by surprise. But it all seems to be smoothed over now and the Iranian Foreign minister told me that iran very much wants to stay the course on these negotiations. We are committed to the implementation of the plan of action that we adopted in geneva, but we believe that it takes two to tango. Reporter some of your bitterest opponents are right here in iran. I can tell you that we are we all have opponents. Secretary kerry has his opponents, president obama has his opponents, president rouhani has his opponents, i have my opponents. So let us try to deal with this based on logic, based on equal footing, based on Mutual Respect and based on our national interests. Reporter are your opponents here powerful enough to blow this process up . No. Reporter but in a country where the Old American Embassy is still known as the nest of spies, zarifs religious hardline opponents would dearly love to see him fail. Especially as hes willing to contemplate that a deal on the Nuclear Program could lead to somewhere much more radical. Would you like to see in your lifetime a u. S. Embassy reopening in tehran . It requires many changes. It requires the United States gaining trust of the iranian people. The iranian people dont trust the United States right now. But whether its possible, of course its possible. Whether id like to see it, of course id like to see normalization of relations. But based on equal footing, based on Mutual Respect and based on mutual interests. I believe we have a long way to go. Pelley a long way to go but just an early start so far. The rouhani government, liz, has only be in power about six months. How are they doing at home . Reporter well, they are able to tell their people that they are in negotiations with the United States and they have some limited sanctions relief. Its not going to really do much. 7 billion is a drop in the bucket for a country this size. But it has given people some hope that they may see more relief from the next year. They need to get inflation down from 40 to 25 a big job. Pelley liz palmer reporting for us tonight in tehran. Thank you, liz. Do antibacterial soaps do what the makers claim . The f. D. A.

Michelle miller that researchers found signs of in the the brain of a player who committed suicide last year. Play at second and it hits the runner. Reporter major leaguer ryan freel was not an allstar but he built a reputation over eight years in the big leagues as the guy who would do anything to make a play.

Last december, the 36yearold father of three shot himself. Mornorma vargas is his mother. Things made him unhappy. He would get sad, very sad.
