2013. Good morning. Good to be with you. Im annemarie. President obama heads to louisiana today to talk about the economy and jobs, but yesterday he tried to dampen the growing furor over the botched rollout of his health care plan. Specifically mr. Obama apologized to the millions of americans who are losing their Health Care Insurance policies. Tara mergener is in washington with more. Tara, good morning. Good morning, annemarie. The cancellation of insurance policies for millions of americans because of obama care may top the growing list of troubles with the Affordable Care act, sparking a mountain of criticism, trouble for democrats, and damaging the president s credibility. If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. For years the president has promised again and again that no one would be forced off an Insurance Plan they wanted to keep because of his Health Care Law, but more than 3 million americans have gotten cancellation letters, and late yesterday the president apologized during an interview with nbc news. I am sorry that they, you know, are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me. Weve got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and that were going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this. Insurance policies that fall short of a new Health Care Law zarnd are no longer valid. The president says his administration is looking at a range of options to help people whose insurance has been canceled. The white house says fewer than 5 of americans will be required to change their coverage, but that means about 50 Million People. Some 250,000 live in colorado. Kathy wagner says shell have to pay 25 more for the same coverage. I really just wanted him to know i was so hopeful that this plan was going to move us forward, but, in fact, i think its moving us backward. The president said his administration wasnt as clear as it needed to be about health care reform. We are going to get this done. And the president dismissed charges he misled the American Public and insisted he acted in good faith. Annemarie . Tara mergener in washington. Thank you, tara. Well, this morning one of the strongest storms ever recorded ever to hit land is set to hit philippines. Super typhoon haiyan made landfall and set off landslides, cut off power and communications. At least four deaths have been reported. Millions have been forced to evacuate. Cbs news weather consultant David Bernard has more. This is truly a historic typhoon, category 5rks perhaps one of the most powerful storms on record ever to make landfall anywhere in the globe and if we take a look at haiyan today, this is the peak of winds sustained at 195 miles per hour. Now, as we go over the next several hours we can see the typhoon this morning is moving across the philippines. The eye isnt quite as defined as it was before, so obviously from a storm thats about as strong as it can possibly get, it will gradually begin to weaken. Its still a category 5 but will begin to weaken as it crosses the philippines today, and over the next 24 to 36 hours, it could still be a major typhoon. In fact, the forecast is for another landfall perhaps in vietnam as a category 3 storm sometime during the day on saturday or saturday night. Im David Bernard, cbs news, miami. Well, progress is reported on a deal to limit Irans Nuclear program. Secretary of state john kerry is expected in geneva today to join in the negotiations. Kerry has been touring the middle east. Before heading to switzerland, he stopped in israel. Iran has been negotiating with six world powers on a deal to curtail some of its Nuclear Programs in exchange for an easing of stiff economic sanctions. Kerry said iran must prove its Nuclear Activities are peaceful. And israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted if the news from gentlemen eva is true, this is the deal of the century. Netanyahu said he rejected the deal from geneva calling it a bad deal. Israel has threatened to strike irans facilities if diplomacy fails to shut them down. And the Senate Passed a bill working against discrimination of gays, bisexual, around transgender americans. The measure faces a tough time in the house. Danielle nottingham reports. Bill as amended is passed. Reporter democrats joined together on gay rights advocates in the making. We have said now nor more discrimination on the basis of your Sexual Orientation or your gender identity. Its a historic, historic occasi occasion in the united states. Reporter it makes it a crime for employers to discriminate against gay, bisexual, or transgender. A freedom of expression and religion. And i believe this bill violates that freedom. Reporter but the chances of the bill becoming law are slim. Speaker john boehner has signaled he will not bring it up for a vote in the republican controlled house. Speaker boehner says the law would open up businesses to frivolous lawsuits. Conservative groups agree. When we talk about this kind of employment discrimination law, what were talking about is the right to sue. Reporter if the bill dies in the house, gay rights organizations will put pressure on the president to issue an executive order barring federal contractors from antigay practices. Danielle nottingham, cbs news, washington. Reports of Sexual Assault in the military jumped dramatically last year. According to a Defense Department study, the number of reported assaults was up 46 , over 3,500 attacks. The study called the increase unprecedented.

Yeah but i practiced my bassoon. [ mom ] and i listened. [ brother ] i can do this. [ imitates robot ] everyone deserves ooey, gooey, pillsbury cinnamon rolls. Make the weekend pop. The food and Drug Administration has cooked up a plan to cut trans fats in foods. Its meant to make food healthier and as chip reid hears from the commissioner, to save lives. Trans fats increase your risk for heart disease. It turns out that they elevate the socalled bad cholesterol, ldl. Will this save lives and avoid heart attacks . This action will save lives. The cdc estimates that if we can reduce the levels of trans fat currently in the american diet, we can probably save about 7,000 people from preventable death and prevent about 20,000 heart attacks. Trans fat is created by turning liquid Vegetable Oil into fat. Processed food manufacturers use it because it extends the shelf life and improves the flavor of some food including snack foods such as microwave popcorn, crackers, and cookies. Packaged soup, cakes, pies, and biscuits, stick marriage gins, vegetable shortenings, and frostings. Some restaurants use trans fats in fried food. Restaurants are doing little so far to resist the ban knowing theyve been voluntarily reducing trans fats for years. In 2003 americans consumed more than 2. 6 grams of fat a day. By 2012 it plummeted but the fda says theres no safe consumption. New york city banned the use of trans fats in restaurants seven years ago. More than a dozen other localities followed. In an interview for cbs this morning, mayor Michael Bloomberg led the charge and said that even the restaurants are better off. They did not do what some people feared and that was to replace trans fats with something even worse. They replaced it with something thats better, and their business is better than ever. Reporter the fda commissioner told us it could take some time for this ban to go into effect because companies would have to come up with new recipes, but she wouldnt say how much time. Chip reid, cbs news, washington. On the cbs moneywatch, twitter shares fly, and billions paid in fraudulent tax refunds. Alexis christoforous is at the New York Stock Exchange with that and more. Good morning, alexis. Good morning, annemarie. Twitter made a debut. The twitter ipo closed its first day of trading right here on the New York Stock Exchange at 44. 90 a share, nearly double the initial offering price of 26 a share, but most analysts dont expect twitter to become profitable until 2015 and still must prove to investors that its worth the money. I think you have to look at any new company as a risk and any new tech company as probably a double risk. Unlike facebook, the twitter ipo has appeared to have gone offer without a hitch. Following yesterdays trading twitters market value rose to 31 billion. Although twitters stock did well, the stock market pulled back from its record high. The Dow Jones Industrial average dropped 152 points and the nasdaq fell 74. Asian markets were lower ahead of an economic meeting by chinas leaders this weekend. Tokyos nikkei fell 1 , a onemonth low, and hong kongs hang seng dropped half a percent. The Internal Revenue service paid 4 billion in fraudulent tax refunds last year. Many of the refunds were sent overseas including 665 to a single address in lithuania. The good news, the irs stopped more than 12 billion in fraudulent refunds. And rubber ducky, youre the one.
