Captioning funded by c welcome to cbs this morning. Norah odonnell is off. Jeff glor is with us. Were learning new information this morning about the failed attempt to rescue american hostage Kayla Mueller. The white house confirmed her death yesterday. She is the fourth american to die in the hands of the extremist group. This morning family and friends remember the 26yearold as strong, caring and compassionate. Major garrett is at the white house where muellers death is intensifying the debate on how to handle isis. Major, good morning to you. Good morning. The story is one that the country is just now coming to fully appreciate. Its one of the reasons the president called kaylas parents before her death was publicly declared and why there was such a lengthy tribute. Shes one of the hock tajs they tried to rescue in a failed covert operation in july. President obama told buzzfeed the its relentless. I deployed an entire operation at significant risk to rescue not only her but the other individuals that had been held and probably missed them by a day or two. Congressman paul gosar told the arizona public there were several failed attempts to rescue mueller. In one a man attemptpretending to be her husband demanded her release but mueller unaware it was a rescue mission denied she had a husband and unknowingly botched a chance at freedom. Theyre looking at,000 improve it. But the president stood by the longstanding u. S. Policy demanding the payment of ransom for any hostage. Once we start doing that, not only are we financing their slaughter of innocent people and strengthening their organization, but were actually making americans even greater targets for future kidnappings. Intelligence confirmed her death after a photo isis sent the family. While they could not confirm the cause of her death, theyre saying she died in a jordan yan air strike. Lets not forget in whose hands this woman died and lets not forget whos responsible for it. Isil. They praised the ref jews and her positive attitude throughout her captivity. The letter she sent home showed incredible grace, courage, and strength in an enormous evil. Cbs news has confirmed during her captivity she was turned over to an isis fighter as a bride. All the circumstances around her captivity and death underscore the need for the congress and president for battle plan to defeat isis in iraq and syria and the president could receive the formal proposal on that as early as today. Thank you very much. At a News Conference yesterday, they said mueller always stood up for those who were suffering and they shared the letter she wrote while in captivity. She sounded so extraordinary, but what was so extraordinary about kayla, she did ordinary things to extraordinary measures. The world wants to be more like kayla and if that is her legacy and the footprints that she leaves on the world, then that is a wonderful thing. In kaylas letter she wrote i have come to see there is good in every situation. Sometimes we just have to look for it. And right now thats what were all trying to do. Mueller also wrote in her letter i have been shown in darkness, light, and even in prison one can be free. I am grateful. I can come to see a rescue in every situation. Sometimes you have to look for it. I watched the News Conference yechltd it was heartbreaking to hear the family talk about her. At one point she was more worried about them worryinger her than she was about herself. Terrible story. Well take you inside the mind of a former isis member. Clarissa ward will be with that. Fighting is happening ahead of the new peace talks which have taken place amidst the capital belarus. The leaders of ukraine, france russia and germany are talking about how to stop the fighting. A shell fight killed at least three people overnight around a bus station in donetsk. 19 ukrainian soldiers died. Brian williams will be off the air at least until august. The nightly news anchor and managing editor admitted last week he told a false story about coming under fire in iraq. The noteworks ceo calls that mistake unacceptable. Quote, brian misrepresented events while he was covering the iraq war in 2003. This was wrong and completely inappropriate for someone in brians position. Turness was referring to this report. When a helicopter we were in was forced down after being hit by an rpg. Our team was kept alive and surrounded by the third army infantry. Reporter he interviewed missions and said he was not on the helicopter that was attacked. To see somebody else who is trying to claim credit for being there i think it struck a personal nerve for them. Williams acknowledged the error last wednesday on the broadcast. I want to apologize. I said i was traveling in an aircraft that was hit by rpg fire. I was in a following aircraft. Reporter he also announced he was taking him off the air for a few days. Nbc decided to suspend him while its oven investigation is going. Steve burke of nbcuniversal said by his action brian has jep dads the trust millions. The were the dangers following Hurricane Katrina and the 2006 war against hezbollah. Despite that burke said williams deserved a Second Chance and he was rooting for him. Lester holt will anchor during williams suspension. Jon stewart will liev his pramg on a high note. He told the audience he will give up his Comedy Central Program Later this year. Don dahler is outside the studio. Good morning. Reporter good morning. When stewart made the announcement inside this studio it shocked the audience because for the past 16 years he has been the face of one of the most popular shows on television. Comedy central gave me an Incredible Opportunity 17 years ago to pilot this wonderful franchise. In my heart i know its time for someone else to have that opportunity. Reporter after bouncing around the comedy cellars of new york city and cable shows in the early 90s stewart took the reins from craig kilborn. Welcome, welcome. Kraeg kill born. Reporter while the newscast has struggled to attract younger viewers, the daily show has been a favorite place for younger generates to get their news. An hour. In other words a war that could destroy the global order and destroy a region of the earth was discussed as much time as it takes lenscrafters to make bifocals. I ask you to pray for this nation. Were way ahead of you. And its work. Racking up 16 emmys in 16 years. Jon stewart was able to combine wit and intelligence and making it not only informative for viewers but also accessible. Stewarts popularity credentials and ability to stay in touch with aou y angerudience led to interviews with sitting pretty president s. The daily show also served as a launching pad for john oliver, stephen colbert, and stephen career. And voters always respond to l onast nights show the longtime host reflected on what he missed most. Wont miss being on television. Ill miss coming here every day. Its been a privilege, the National Honor of my life. Stewart will remain on the anchor desk, on the daily show until later in the show, but the question next is what will he do next and who in the heck can replace him. You, charlie . Charlies busy. What a class act. When they say what jon stewart do snekt anything he whats amazing. Steve carell is here. Do you think he knew . I was wondering. Opening statements begin today in the murder trial. Eddie ray routh is accused of killing chris kyle. Mark, good morning. Reporter good morning. Everybody in this rural part of texas has heard of chris kyle but the judge in this case has asked them to set aside his notoriety in order to be fair. Prosecutors say among the first witnesses to be called will be kyles widow. In the stephensville courthouse in texas, ten men and two women will decide the fate of 27yearold eddie ray routh. Hes charged with killing chris kyle, the deadliest sniper in history and the focus of the hit move american sniper. After the war in iraq kyle counseled troubled vets like routh who suffers from ptsd. Prosecutors say routh shot and killed kyle and his friend chad littlefield at this gun range two years ago. Routh confessed to the crime but pleaded not guilty. They have been trying to get him help for close to two years before the murders occurred. Reporter journalist laura beal interviewed routh before the judge issued a gag order. Even his mother thinks that he should be punished. I think what theyre saying is his mental state should be taken into account. Reporter but chris kyles widow scoffed at the notion of ptsd. Complicated the case, kyle is hugely popular in texas. Its going to be extremely difficult to fair trial in the community in which the court sits. The victim of the shooting is in many peoples eyes a hero. Reporter if found guilty routh faces life behind bars without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors chose not to seek the Death Penalty if found not guilty by reason of insanity routh could face life in a Mental Health facility. Jeff . Thank you very much. Subways and commuter trains are running in boston. There could be 6 feet of snow before the next storm arrives tomorrow. Juryericka duncan. Good morning. Good morning. The citys major saids the snow could end up in the boston harbor. Along with the snow dumping it here is considered a last resort. Hundreds of National Guard troops rolled in tuesday night to help clear the record snow that city Officials Say is becoming more dangerous. As the snow starts to melt the water is no place to go. These rules are getting heavier and heavier and heavier. Reporter a piano store was reduced to a buckle of pile after dozens of snow drifts. It could have been really really bad. Reporter during our interview with rob norris this happened. We just heard something. Thats the ceiling. Thats the roof. Reporter every hour bostons department of public worth is turning 400 tons of pow door to water with the help of snow melters. The city has already spent more than 30 million on snow removal. Mountains and mountains of snow that well probably have around till june. Reporter but the threat of another several inches on thursday on top of the 78 they have already seen this winter doesnt bother this bostonian. Hewere going to have to keep slugging it out. Boston schools are open today. However, a parking ban in the city remains in effect until this evening. Gayle . Thank you. Major changes may be on the way for our eating habits. Theyre ready to reverse four decades of advice on avoiding cholesterol. New diet guidelines are out. Good morning. Good morning, charlie. What does this say . For 30 years weve been told to avoid dietary cholesterol and eat less than 300 a day. Now what this new panel is saying is thats probably not the case and that cholesterol doesnt really have to be considered a nutrient of concern for overconsumption. This fits in line with the shift weve been seeing in the science over the past several years. They also had a task force in 2013 that said a similar thing, that dietary cholesterol, theres not enough evidence to show. So therefore you can eat what now . So the concern still is that saturated fat and trans fats will increase your cholesterol levels so we still have to worry about saturated fats and trans fat but foods high in cholesterol, we dont have to be so vigilant about cutting that out of our diet. Thats newgood news to me. What role does genetics play . It plays a big role. Its what we produce by our liver and how efficiently we process or eliminate it. 207b8 comes from the diet we eat. So genetics plays a big role. Good to see you. Its now announcer this National Weather report sponsored by macys. Ahead, a cloud hanging over the Third Largest powerball ever.

At least 3,400 foreign fighters come from Western Plains nations. Theyre from 24,000 around the world. One of those western recruits spoke to clarissa ward. He offers a rare look inside isis after breaking free. The man insisted we hide his face and alter his voice. Something else in didt agree with also might have led me to leave. What do you mean . Some of the things like beheadings. Was it harder than you expected . A lot of people when they come, they have a lot of enthusiasm about what theyve seen online and youtube. They see it as something a lot grander than what the reality is. Its not all military praise or victories. Do you think youll miss isis . I dont think ill miss it. Ill miss the friends i made and the brotherhood, but isis is out there. Clarissa ward joins us. Good morning. Why did he seek out isis in the first place . I think there were two main reasons he gave me. The first was he wanted to help Syrian People be involved in humanitarian efforts. It should be mentioned he didnt join isis right away. He was in syria for at least six months before he joined isis. The second thing he told me was he wanted to live under strict islamic sharia lauchlt his desir was to live under the strictest possible form of sharia law and thats why he sought out isis. How did the two of you connect . I found him on facebook actually instagram. But he was very tissue on social media. That was before facebook and twitter started to clamp down and shut down these accounts and then we began messaging online. It was a long process. Theres not a lot of trust. So it took a long time to sort of establish some trust. We were chatting most days for about seven month before he eventually agreed to sit down with me. Do they get that form of shihri rah law . He did. The killings of muslims. What he wasnt disillusioned about, the one thing he wasnt disappointed by was seeing that strict form. He told me he witnessed crucifixion crucifixions, he witnessed a couple stoned to death for adultery. What did healthy about that . He thought it was a beautiful picture to see. The takeaway from the story . The reality is that its something their than wed like to imagine. Its not as a draw massic situation. He turned away and thought isis was wrong and evil. It was more a situation he became disillusioned, became bored, the adrenaline drops down and you realize life is bleak and boring around you miss your life and family and he want to duo home. Where is he now . Hes trying to get home. Obviously hes concerned mell be hell be arrested and convicted. Hes more in the early 30s.

The white house confirmed the death of 26yearold isis hostage Kayla Mueller. It is not clear how the arizona woman died but there is no evidence to support isis claims she was killed in a Jordanian Air strike. Mueller was helping Syrian Refugees when she was kidnapped by isis in 2013. Confirmed intelligence officials believe she was given to an icy fighter as a bribe. The United States tried to rescue her in a southeast of failed attempts. Senator john mccain offered an emotional response to muellers death from capitol hill. I want to express the deepest condolences to kaylas parents marsha and carl mueller, her loving family and many friends, our thoughts and prays are with you. Ben tracy is in her hometown where the community is in shock over losing one of its own. Good morning. Reporter good morning. If everyone knew that one of their own had been held by isis for 18 month bus they now know shes nomt coming home. Kayla has touched the hart of the world. The world grieves with us.

Reporter family and friends of Kayla Mueller gathered outside the courthouse to remember her far too short 26 years. Shes done more in her incredible 26 years than many people can ever imagine doing in their lifetime. Reporter the town in the Arizona Mountains is where kayla first became a voracious volunteer. She worked with aids patients and a womans shelter and then she left to do work in india, syria. She did zrard thingsextraordinary things. Reporter in a letter to her parents last year, kayla wrote even in prison one can be free. I am grateful. I have come to see there is good in every situation sometimes we just have to look for it. That optimism is harder to find among the pain in prescott. This is a town still recovering from the yarnell fire a year and a half ago. 19 prescott firefighters, members of the Granite Mountain hotshots were killed and now Kayla Mueller. Erin street was her best friend. Im not yet sure how to live in a World Without kayla, but i do know that were all living in a better world because of her. Reporter now clays parents have not spoken publicly. They said theyll spend the rest of their lives honoring hers. All right. Ben. It is a heartbreaking story. Even been talking about that all morning. Thank you, ben. This morning two big names are shaking up the world of television. Last night jon stewart announced he is going to give up the daily show later this year because he said its time for a change. And Brian Williams is going off the air under very different circumstances. Nbc news suspended him for six months after he reported falsely that his iraq helicopter was hit by a grenade. David carr joins us. Good morning. Good morning. Nbc said a suspension is severe and appropriate but he deserves a Second Chance and were rooting for him, steve burke said. What do you make of this . I couldnt agree more. I think what he did was a huge problem, hurt the network, hurt the people around him, he bungled his attempt to apologize. I think to begin with everyone including brian thought he was maybe too big to fail. Number one anchor almost 10 million viewers. Turns out hes not the most important thing. The credibility of the News Division had to be protected under all circumstances and his path back to that chair is uncertain as you might have guessed. Its possible. Its possible and i think its good to leave that door open. This is an incredibly likeable person. I mean nobodys rooting against him. He made some very very dumb decisions, but lets see what he can do. Thats what everybody says david. Hes so well like and so well respected in this industry and many still cant believe this has happened to him. If we dont see him for six months, how can he redeem himself . How should he redeem himself . What can he do . This is without precedence in american broadcast history. We even never seen a big suspension of a well known anchor like this. We dont know. Theres no playbook under way so theyre going to have to make it up as they go along. They may decide they cant get there from here, but who knows what else theyll come up with. So much has happened in six days. How does something more not happen in six months . Yeah. It just well taking a breath number one, youre going to see the full expanse of what he did and will there be a drip drip, drip or will at a certain point it will pifbt to the other things hes done. I think the tragedy here is he was a number one anchor in the nation. Everybody loved his work. But he somehow that wasnt enough. He had to go and do all these other things. And how ironic is it that were now talking about jon stewart whos stepping down. Those two stories right there, right below the fold on the front page. Yeah. Two boys from new jersey who made very very good. They both accomplished ee nor musz things. Jon stewart changed the way we look at politics t way we cover politics. He made a dent in the University Never mind all the people he unleashed on the world, and he did it through socall ed socalled fake news and annotative news. To a lot of young people that was the news and theyre going miss it. What does he do now other than have dinner with his family . He made a wonderful film obviously, but hes not a classic talk show guy. That isnt really his thing. Hes a comic from getgo. Everybody would like to get a piece of him. There are people who say, please walk over and take over Brian Williams job. He doesnt want that job. He admires and respects journalism. I heard people crack jokes Brian Williams could take his job. Of course. The irony of it. Twitter is going nuts. They should change jobs and be done with it. Reporter David Letterman once said to me unrecorded that Brian Williams would have been a great successor to him. Of course brian had the same idea and wanted to take over for jay leno. That did not sit well with his colleagues in the News Division that he wanted to crossover. His skills in that regard are very, very significant. Hes incredibly gifted. If you had to name one name to replace jon stewart, and then weve got to go. I dont see that as significantly replacent i dont. All right weve got to go. If charlie wants to change things. Why is everybody trying to get charlie to leave . Hes taken. I know you guys are tied in the pcr. All is fair in love and money. Jill schlesinger is in our toyota green room.

The problem with having joint accounts and separate accounts is what happens . Where is the money coming from how are we funneling it through. About. Again, whatever you decide is fine, but talk about it. Is it because people may be spending money on something that the other spouse if they found out would be upset . I think that is the issue and i think the issue is that if youre saying to one spouse, look, if we have to actually disclose after 500 were going to talk about it thats oak or under 100 whatever that limit s its really important. Im asking for charlie now. Are there specific issues in second marriages . Absolutely. You may want to talk about prenups and talk to lawyer. Especially when you have children involved.

They captivated the country as they won game after game en route to the Little League National National championship last summer.

But questions have been raised about jack can robinson wleft they really did all hail from chicago or was sprinkled with players from the citys suburbs, in short, whether the officials cheated.

Some found a 30minute nap reduces stress and boosts the immune system for the sleep deprived. Our dr. Holly phillips is with us. What does the study show . It was shown on two separate occasions they restricted the guys to two hours of sleep on two different nights but the second time the men were allowed to take two 30minute naps the next day. What they found is after such extreme slep deprivation, there were change in markers of the immune system and also norah pin efren. But after they took the nap both of the markers went back to norm achlt it suggests theres a restorative of protective effect to the nap. This study showed these two specific 30minute naps and we also know that short names 20 to 30 minutes boost our memory our Attention Span our performance. Longer than that may have those benefits as well but youre moreinertia, the dwrogyness after a longer nap. The question is different whether youre getting a normal night of sleep and trying to nap or by the way, an then theres talk about potentially introducing this in some high schools . Right. Jeff, you brought up a really important point. These only pertain to the occasional very extreme case of deprivation wlrks you pull an all nighter or only get one to two hours. They may not work for those of us who has krobic sleep deprivation, which is many of us. Many of us go in under six. The nap may make you feel better, but were not sure it will have the same health benefits. What are the people who are chronically sleep deprived . If this study is for the one person, what about people . I think they do need to focus on sort of overhauling our approach to sleep and really pryor tighting it. With respect to teens, they are whats considered our at risk group for the negative effects of sleep deprivation. They go to sleep later and were not allowing them to sleep in in the morning because School Starts so early. If theres one thing i can say that helps people get s. Charlie does it well.

Fifty shades of grey opens friday. Ticket sales are exploding in places like mississippi, arkansas and alabama, but those steamy love scenes are generating a little bit of controversy because of the leading ladys submissive role. Two leading women say theyre submissive in their marriages but in a much different way. Lee, good morning. Good morning, gayle. Its all about submissive. The definition is willing to obey somebody else. But any time its used by women its a recipe for outrage. Two powerful ladies found out. You know i joked with my husband, the new message is 63175. Gabby lee is a successful volleyball player. She met and fall in love with and their commonalities started to drive them apart. Were both strong willed opinionated, bossy. When you have two strong personalities, it can be challenging but lets face it cohabitation in general is a dance. A dance that reece in her 2013 autobiography almost ended in divorce so she made a shift. Strong willed work less so at home. To be truly feminine she wrote, means being sovgts receptive, and look out, here it comes, submissive. Started to learn, well, you know, maybe if i leave some of that alphaness outside and leave that for the world and then maybe develop and cultivate this . Other female side it brought out also a very Positive Side of my husband that made things better. Candice cameron beret got her big break when she was just 11 years old. At 20 she married hockey player val beret and left acting to raise a family. It was her home life that would thrust her back into the spotlight when she also used the world submissive in her second book. Why that term . I used the word because i was quoting the bible. The word got taken out of context. My husband takes the role seriously as the leader of the family and i take the role seriously as nurturer of the family. Its not that one role is more important than the other. Im not talking about submissive in an oppressed way. Thats not the definition of it. It may not be the definition but this is how submissive is now playing out in pop culture. Men totally in control, women insubordinate. It makes it instantly controversial. I think whenever you have a society in which power has not been shared equally, it sets off like a traumatic reaction. You know were only a few decades away from the womens movement. Both say embracing a word like submissive might just help push women forward. You strike me as somebody very sure of what she wants and how shes going to get it. I would not be an author, an actress, a producer a mother of three, a career woman if i was a weak or oppressed woman. Theres nothing weak about me in my marriage. Even both of these women have totally different views on what it means to be submissive. So it likely wont stop any time soon. I was watching gayle watch this piece. I know. For the last few minutes, and, oh my goodness. Me no speak english. I think the world has a lot of different connotations for a lot of different people. I think in a really good relationship, the power shifts in both couples. Sometimes its you, sometimes its me sometimes its me, sometimes its you. I dont think itmate makes either one of us less. I think its a divisive point. Charlie, do you like to be sub miss nieve your relationship. Here we go, here we go. Thats what makes a relationship work. Charlie is going to go see the movie. Were all going together. I want to hear charlies answer to this question. I think that we have a variety of selves than we ought to use all of them. I do too. In order to promote the best possible relationship. I like that answer. I do too. Perfectly said. We always have to ask charlie. Lee, thank you very much.

We first got to know lucy liu on the big screen in among others charlies angels and kill bill. She now stars in elementary. Liu plays scherrlocks partner joan watson. In tomorrows new episode watson takes break after her boyfriend dies by poison. Heres a preview. You let me know and ill conclude until then. Thanks. It will just be a couple more days. Do you have counsel . Its been almost a week since andrew died and youve said nothing about it which is your prerogative, which is fine but i want to be sure you have someone to discuss it with. Id offer my services if you dont. Andrew died because he knew me. I dont know what else to say. Good morning. Good morning. Could you share with us how you feel about submissive women . Yes. Oh, yeah absolutely. I was in the green room and we were talking about it. I think in some ways if you are a certain way in your work life as they were saying, theres a separation between work and life, if you go home and you kind of have to act a little it seems a little odd to me a little uncome dportable. Shouldnt you be able to be whoever you are wherever you are. You shouldlet have to go home and act. Thats my opinion. Submission is a very specific word i think its called compromise or understanding to let someone else pay the bill. You know to give in a little bit doesnt mean you have to be sub miss sniev lucy didnt submit this week. She dominated. She directed this episode. Your second time directed. Why did you want to do it and what did you learn . The Second Time Around i learned more. This script was a little more procedural. So we actually had a case i had to work on which involved zebras which made it very difficult because its winter and zebras are warm weather animals. So we had to bring the see bras out from down south and at one point we discussed palkt little ponies black and white, which we have done before. We went through every possible list of things we needed to do and that was one of them. Were you doing this because its something you might want to do in the future of your own professional life . Thats a great question and i do. I want to continue doing it. I really love it and i think its just a natural progression from where i started over 20 years ago. Its funny because you learn from the people that you work with around you, not just the crew and the directors, but just as a whole. You see how everything is work. You think about your role, your lines, what youre wearing and as you progress you start thinking about absolutely everything. The props, the production how much time its taking. Your concern grows. Its nice to have the microcosm to break out into that bigger view. Is it a shift for you or the cast when you take the directors chair . Its a little bit of a schist because i have to yeah i was in that actual scene and i was in the episode and that kind of takes a little while. Sometimes ill have to run back to the video village area panhandling make sure the camera was in the right direction and then we can move on. But i think because im so inty mat with the cast and they feel comfortable with me, it makes it easy. I think the thing about being a director is listening. Hearing what the actors are saying, what theyre doing and just trusting that everyone is doing what they were hired to do and you guide them. We forgot, you know were shooting it backward and we have to make sure we remember these little bread crumbs that we plant in the beginning. Wheres elementary going . Elementary is trying to bring the relationship between sherlock and watson closer very much what is in the literature itself. A lot of people have asked are we going to get together . Are we going to end up having sex . Can you just say it on morning news . You just said it. I did. Sex or boinking either one works. You told us it wasnt going to happen. Right. I think were holding true to that. Even though a lot of the audience wants to see us together. You should do a submission episode. Next valentines day well have a submission episode and well in provide you back. As an audience member when youre watching you think they seem so in tune and so insynch synch and you can see it. Its true but i dont know if id ever see you two together in bed. I can honestly say i havent seen you naked. Well need five minutes after the show to discuss all this. We want to stay true to something thats in the literature, they had a partnership and friendship. Even though its a modernday twist we dont want to mix it up too much. Plus fans are getting used to the fact that theres a woman playing watson. The ratings are great. The paintingspaintsing, how that influences your life . I think its a more private thing i get to do without having 200 crew memberers relying on you. You can doet on your own. Nobodys telling you. Speaking of time i have to let you go. Great being here. 8 00 tomorrow 9 00 is there an elk in your bed . With sleep number now theres an adjustment for that. You can only find sleep number at a sleep number store.
