Theres never been a woman a top one of the manufactures. This is making a big statement. Its great shes extraordinary well qualified. She can be a symbol. As goes gm goes the country. Perhaps this means as goes gm with a woman leader well see more companies. From Charlie Willson he said whats good gm is good for the country. That may make a good point. As we know of the fortune 500 companies, there are only 22 women ceos. Just 4 . There are so few women at the top. So few. If you go to the next level, executive leaders, less than 15 . 10 of fortune 500 companies dont even have a woman on the board. That board seat is power. We have a long way to go from less than 4 percent to 50 where we should be would be a long time. This is a great start. Mellody, thank you so much. Thanks.

A federal Appeals Court battle could have serious consequences for the internet. At stake, whether people can post anonymous comments or negative reviews of businesses. Jan crawford is in washington. Jan, good morning. Reporter this could have a really big impact in california Silicon Valley because everyone has always thought owners and operators of websites like facebook arent liable for their users comments. A ruling by a federal judge in ohio in whats a strange case involving a former nfl cheerleader and a gossip website may suggest otherwise. The internet giants across the country are fighting back. The legal fight started when a website dirty. Com implied former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader sarah jones slept with the entire team and had not one, but two sexually transmitted diseases. When the websites owner refused to remove the case jones sued and won 338,000 in damages. What started as a fight between a cheerleader and gossip website is turning into a major battle over internet freedom. This case has the capability to not allow users to say anything they want to. Thats why the nations Top Internet Companies are urging a federal Appeals Court to set aside the Decision Holding the website liable. They argue the decision the first of its kind, could force them to change their Business Models or curtail their services in significant ways by restricting Third Party Comments negative reviews, postings or tweets. If a website owner is responsible for what a user posts, theyre going to really restrict everything that users submit submit. Reporter but jones attorney derrick deeters says the owner selected which submissions went on the site and even making comments of his own. If you just provide a platform where people can post you dont have anything to worry about. If you actually control what goes up and what goes down and edit it, youve got a problem. Youve got to make sure you dont republish defamation. Reporter the cheerleader is going to file court papers by friday argue her case is narrow and argue these big websites facebook or trip adviser dont control the comment, that people can put up what they want. So the Appeals Court is going to be hearing arguments in this case probably early next year with the decision in the months to come. Jan, do you think this has far reaching consequences for all organizations . I think it could on these kind of websites where you weigh in and put comments. Thats why this is such a huge issue. Federal law typically has been thought to protect that and protect websites from people. Thats why the internet has had this vast billions of users weighing in with this free form exchange of information. This is kind of seen as a big test case and whether or not the courts are going to see it as narrow, like the cheerleader says or big like aol and yahoo says. Thats what the federal Appeals Court is going to have to decide. Really interesting. Jan, thank you. This morning the ntsb released the transcript from the flight recorder of the asiana jet that crash landed at sfo. The captain told investigators he was concerned about making a visual landing because the automated Warning Systems were out at the airport. John black stoin looksality todays hearing. Reporter the ntsb is not ready to identify a crash, investigators at the scene found no obvious failures in the automated flight controls. The concerns is that the pilots may not have fully understood the workings of the automation and they assumed that the auto thrust was controlling the speed when, in fact it was not. Reporter the aircraft was coming in to land 40 miles an hour slower than it should have been. But in the highly automated cockpit of the asiana blowing 777, they didnt realize they were flying too low and too slow until it was too late. There are two pilots in the cockpit for a reason. If theyre using automation a big key is to monitor. Pilots are trained to monitor. Reporter the asiana pilots who crashed the plane will not be testifying at the ntsb hearing, but the airlines chief pilot and training manager will testify about how pilots are trained in the use of automation. Weve become dependent upon it and we sometimes dont have the manual flying skills that we really should. That can lead to a laqis of confidence and makes us reluctant to intervene when its not doing what it should. Reporter it was noted that pilots can become accustomed to watching things happen and rely too much on automated systems. The hearing that begins today may help uncover whether that was the case in the asiana crash. For cbs this morning, john blackstone, San Francisco. The service for Nelson Mandela tuesday was filled with mem robl moments, but one scene is causing an uproar on social media. President obama posed for a selfie with two leaders. Critics are calling it tasteless. Bill plante is here. Good morning. Reporter good morning. As you probably know by now, a self fi is a self portrait usually taken with a smart phone and meant to be shared with the world online. At the mandela Memorial Service, another photographer actually captured the moment that the three World Leaders posed for their selfie. It was his photo that went viral and sparks all the outrage. It may seem like an odd setting for a selfie, the Memorial Service for the man who brought down apartheid. In honor of our father Nelson Mandela. Reporter but there they were president obama, british Prime Minister david cameron. A Washington Post blogger called it beyond the pale. Business insider described it as awkward. Randy cohen who used to write theeth sift column thinks this is less faux pas and more faux outrage. What people express is endless narcissim undimmed by the most solemn moments in human existence. Thats not what this was. This was a big celebration that included celebration as well as grief, laughter as well as tears. Reporter viewed another way the president might have caused a diplomatic incident if he had declined an invitation to be in a photo with two longtime allies. Even though the first lady didnt seem too pleased. To be fair, president obama was not alone. Here is george w. Bush with u2 front man bono. That was posted on a site where selfies were ubiquitous there were thousands of pictures with the hash tag mandelas service. If it was terrible to take photos as a Memorial Service, maybe they should have kicked out all the camera crews. Reporter is taking selfies at funerals a trend . Maybe not. There is a site dedicated to pictures of grieving mourners. Really . Probably safer to picture yourself at less somber historic occasions like the president s daughters seen snapping selfies at their fathers most recent inauguration. We need to know the selfie for which the president posed yesterday has not surfaced. Given the uproar the likelihood of that photo showing up on the internet any time soon seems pretty slim. Well keep checking the danish Prime Ministers twitter feed. Have you ever posted a selfie bill . No. Charlie . You have to take it of yourself. You have the camera. If i take it of you, its not a selfie. No, but you can do it like this, dear. Im sorry. Okay. Yeah. Bill, nice to have you here. Always a pleasure. Selfie is the word of the year in the Oxford English dictionary. There you go. Thats what gayle does at your house all the time. I know. I saw that. I remember it well. Thanks bill, nice to see you.

With more than 2 million visitors a year. But unseen by the public, a series of recent mishaps that put animals at risk. Sharyl attkisson has been investigating. Shes at the national zoo this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning, norah. Last month a zebra attacked a zookeeper severely injuring him and an endangered gazelle spooked broke his neck. So some insiders are questioning management. The national zoo is a leader in animal care, science and the cute photoop. But behind the scenes five sources with more than 35 years combined experience at the zoo are raising concerns to cbs news about recent animal injury deaths and escapes. We started an intensive search for rusty the red panda. Reporter the sources dont want to be identified for fear of retaliation. They say problems began last year when the zoo doubled the population of the Cheetah Conservation station with no extra space. I sometimes call it fetch and pray. You get the animals and pray the project will work out. Reporter an independent reviewer in a 2005 investigation of the zoo found systemic problems at the highest levels. We asked him to look at the new complaints which blame poor planning for a rash of incidents. These horn bills were kept in an indoor shack for eight months because their exhibit wasnt ready. A red river hog that arrived quickly became malnourished and died of an infection. A vulture temporarily escaped. So did a red panda. City its no surprise to me as a field biologist that so many of them do not work out. Theyre just too hastily put together and not well thought through. Reporter two animals died after they got spooked and broke their necks in their confined spaces. Pamela bakermasson is the zoo spokeswoman, she says the zoo meets the highest entry standards, that the animals always have appropriate space and the best care. We take great care no n. Introducing our animals to these various habitats and transitioning them. Ideally these things wouldnt happen of course. Reporter cbs news has learned the zoo convened a task force in august to investigate complaints but they wont release the report. This is a public facility. Dont you think the public has a right to know these processes going on at the zoo as theyre happening and not have to wait until someone decides the report is ready . Were more than happy to do that. But we have to do it in a thorough and processoriented way that makes sense. Reporter for now, their public focus is on the up side like the tiger cubs that went on display last month. The zoo told us it still doesnt know how the stooezebra got to the zookeeper. Were told the keeper was recently released from the hospital after nearly three weeks. Charlie High Pressure building in overhead. The temperatures starting to moderate a little bill.

A twoYear Spending agreement. The budget deal would prevent another showdown in january like the one that shut down part of the government. The body of Nelson Mandela was brought to the capitol behind me where it will lie in state for three days. A couple and four Young Children are safe. Rescuers found them two days after be becoming stranded in the mountains. With the teventmperatures weve seen the last couple nights we were worried the outcome would not be this good. This is a sledgehammer to the Glass Ceiling. Theres never been a woman atop one of the big three automakers. Ukrainian have pulled out of the protest camp after a ninehour standoff with protesters. Wedding guests must want to get married. The bride tosses the bouquet. Another photographer captured the moment the three World Leaders posed for the selfie. If i take it of you, its not a selfie. But you can do it like this. We have to turn it around. Thats what gayle does at your house all the time. I remember that well. Im charlie rose with norah odonnell. Gayle king is off. Leaders and public are taking one last look at Nelson Mandela. His casket was brought to pretoria. Nelson mandela is lying in state. Debora is in pretoria. Good morning. Reporter good morning, charlie and norah. Just over 20 years ago South Africans similar to these voted in the first democrat election. Today they stand to pay respect to that man that gave them democracy, Nelson Mandela. Some have been waiting for just over five hours. They dont care. Theyre so determined to see the body of the man who gave them their freedom. Theres a wonderful symmetry his coffin lays in the same office when he took 1994. They saluted as the coffin was driven through the streets of pretoria draped in South African flag. Family was allowed in first, dignitaries and ordinary South Africans. They are expecting 2,000 to file past the body every two hours. Thank you. President and mrs. Obama are back at the white house. They flew all night from south africa after attending the mandela service. The white house released photos of the two president s this morning. A white house official said they all were together. They had dinner together the bush bushs, obamas and hillary clinton. They say theres no meaning to the president s handshake with cuban leader rual castro. Cuban leaders were quick to complain. Sometimes a hand shake is just a handshake. But when the leader of the free world shakes the bloody hand of a ruthless dictator like castro it becomes a propaganda coup for the tyrant. In a radio interview john mccain said, quote, why should you shake hands with somebody whos keeping americans in prison . I mean whats the point . Neville chamberlain shook hands with hitler. He said that reference to the world war ii meaning was a joke. Last Time Congress passed an actual budget was april 29, 2009. That was 1687 days ago. Back then a gallon of gas cost a little more than 2. President obama had been in office for just 100 days. House Budget Committee chairman paul ryan and patty murray announced this agreement yesterday. This agreement makes sure we dont have a Government Shutdown scenario in january. It makes sure we dont have another Government Shutdown scenario in october. It makes sure we dont lurch from crisis to crisis. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Good morning. Its so rare to hear the word compromise up there. Reporter thats right, norah. A lot of people didnt think they would be able to reach this compromise, including many senior lawmakers. The secret here was that murray and ryan set their sights low. They didnt try to craft a grand bargain where they dramatically reduced the debt or fix entitlement problems. They simply tried to craft a bipartisan budget for the next two years. And tried to replace those acrosstheboard spending cuts known as sequestration with some smarter cuts. Some conservatives are grumbling. They wanted to see deeper cuts of course. What murray and ryan are arguing is that before you can even get into big debt talks, you need to perform one of the most basic responsibilities of congress which is to pass a budget so that you can fund the government for the entire year. Norah and charlie . Nancy, thank you. This morning, new york city is drawing National Attention yet again for a Health Proposal by outgoing mayor bloomberg. Officials will vote today on a plan to require flu shots for kids under 5 years old if theyre in preschool or day care centers. Dr. Holly phillips is with us. Good morning. Good morning. Whats behind this new proposal . This is the new York State Department of health looking at numbers. They found that 40 of kids under the age of 5, who are in these settings Day Care Nursery School preschool get, get the flu every fall. Four kids died of the flu last year. This is their effort to cut down on those numbers in preschool, but also to recognize that children are often the vector of flu for the rest of society. They get it early and it stays in the population. This is not just a recommendation. This is a first. Is this a first . Its not unprecedented but rare. Similar mandates are in place in new jersey and connecticut. We have to keep in mind, these are not the first vaccines to be required. Of course we give kids measles, mumps, but out of all viruses theyre more likely to get the flu. Could it be more that i dont want the government telling me what to do with my child or the actual vaccine and the impact . I think vaccines remain sensitive. I say there are two things not to discuss at a cocktail party, politics or vaccines. Or religion. Vaccines are still sensitive. Some are concerned about possible side effects. The word autism we still hear despite the research. Again, there is also a sense of should the government tell me what to do . But it is about protecting the kids. When i tweeted about this this morning we were going to be talking about this should you allow the government to mandate flu shots, i had someone raise the concern theyre allergic to flu shots. What are the optout concerns . In new york city there are two major optouts. The first is religious and the second is medical. So, if youve had a history of sensitivity to vaccines or severe reactions. There arent very many people who have them, but if you can document it from a doctor or a religious official if youre opting out for religious reasons, you dont have to take the vaccines. But, bottom line you think this is a nobrainer we should do this. Most in the medical community, myself included kids can really really get sick from this and we can prevent a huge number of illnesses by doing this. You snoou with more than 2. 5 million hits a day, amazon. Com is one of the most popular destinations. Anthony mason is with us. Good morning. Theyre called amazon bombers, people who post comments on amazon simply for the entertainment. Not only do they draw attention to some of the sites most outrageous items but they have a growing number of followers eagerly awaiting their next review. 44yearold james thatch is a childrens author who loves to make people laugh. When you saw this posting on amazon for a stateoftheart tv for nearly 40,000, the writer in him couldnt resist. I went straight down to the reviews to see who would buy 40,000 and they were all joke reviews and i thought, i could do that. Reporter in his mock review he described the length he went to to afford the tv. We bought this after selling our daughter amanda into slavery. We got a refurbished, without a remote.

Reporter according to amazon nearly 8,000 users found thatchs review of the tv helpful. Since then hes found out items to amazon bomb including chinese finger traps with review, worst birthday ever.

And i can share that you said to me this morning will is my favorite story. It was. Because he was going to a place where all wild birds are kept whatever that is. Some sort of bird sanctuary. All right. And now to this story. It has been nearly a month sense Ryan Ferguson was freed from prison. The missouri man spent almost a decade behind bars before his murder conviction was overturned. Well talk with him in a moment. But first, 48 hours correspondent Erin Moriarty looks at the long legal fight to prove his innocence. Reporter 29yearold Ryan Ferguson is trying to may go up for lost time. Nearly ten years lost. Thats how long he was incars rated for a crime he has always said he at any time commit. Just look at the facts. Look at all the evidence. I think if anybody did that its obvious that i dont belong here. Guilty of murder in the second degree. Reporter ferguson was 19 when he was convicted of killing a newspaper spots editor. Although there was no physical evidence that linked him to the brutal murder. The states two eyewitnesses both had credibility problems. Charles erickson a former classmate of fergusons said the two teens committed the murder. But seemed to know little about it when questioned about police. The other witness was a janitor who originally said he couldnt identify anyone at the crime scene. But at trial would you point to that individual, please . Yes. Reporter ferguson convicted of murder and robbery was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Attorney Kathleen Zelner took the case in 2009. Once youre convicted, the system works completely against you. Reporter ultimately both state witnesses recanted. May it please the Court Reporter in september, zeln evident r argued the course before a missouri appellate court. On november 5th the court ruled in fergusons favor. Ferguson was released after the state decided not to retry him. Thank you. Reporter hes free. But his past he fears could shadow his future. Ive been work hard on being a positive asset to the community anywhere i go and i might not ever be given a chance. And so thats scary. Ryan ferguson and Erin Moriarty join us. I think everybody wants to know ryan, how is it now to be outside after having faced what you went through . Feels incredible. Its a bit surreal at times. But you just try to move forward in life. And each day is a struggle because youve missed out on so much. But we have a great family and a great team and we try to figure things out. And how do you not be bitter if youre not . Its difficult not to be bitter. But we look at the reality of what happened and we ask for accountability and we move forward. And we believe that in the future people will be held accountable for what they did to myself and to my family. And you just really hope that that happens and you live life. But you cant put a money bag on what happened to you. There is no monetary value to ten years of life. My whole 20s are gone. But i have a great family and well move Forward Together and do great things together. Before you came out here cherry and i were talking about how hard it must have been to spend a decade in prison having been wrongly convicted. The idea of losing your freedom is just a terrible terrible thought. How did you cope what did you miss the most . I just missed knowing that i had all these opportunities that were gone. My whole 20s were gone. And i coped by learning and educating myself every day. I went in as a 19yearold child and i realized that i didnt want to come out as that 19yearold child, whether it was one year or five years are or 100 years. I wanted to learn and grow. So did you do school . Yes. I educated myself and every day i worked out i took care of my mind and my body. He wrote a book on fitness of all things. I wanted to show that i had something extra to offer. So i wrote a book on fitness because i spent a lot of time studying it and learning about it, and its something that i can give back to over people. We saw ryan when he came out after he had been released. We did that story with you. And he had said its easy to get wrongfully convicted but it takes an army to overturn a conviction. And thats absolutely true. Every case weve ever done of wrongful conviction, number one it was his parents. His dad did so much of an investigation afterwards helping us. No question. Then you have press putting the spotlight. It does not affect the judiciary, but certainly the political decisions afterwards. And then of course the most important is the attorneys. And in this case because youre not automatically entitled to an appealllate attorney. Kathleen zelner did it pro bono. So if you dont have people willing to fight for you youll get lost no question. When you would talk with fellow inmates and say i didnt do this would they look at you and say, yeah yeah thats what everybody says or would they want it hear your story . I didnt talk about my case to fellow inmates. Theres a lot of people who will talk about their case said they didnt do it or a lot of people said they did do it. I didnt have anything to say. I just lived my life. Were here were all equal lets get through whatever were dealing with together because were stuck in this environment. But talking about your case is not wise in the prison. I avoided that. What decisions need you make now that youre out . What decisions . Yeah, what kinds of things are you thinking that you have to decide on . Well, i look forward to getting a job. It will be very difficult. Its a struggle to move forward knowing that i havent had any proper education. And whenever people google my name it comes up with the past decade of my life. And its very difficult to move forward in that sense and in a professional sense. Do you have any idea what job youd like . I do. Definitely real estate. Talking to people. Educating people about the justice system. Im going to go probably into law to some degree. It will take time. As i said, i missed a decade. But i really feel good about the future. I feel like i can move forward. What happens to Charles Erickson . Charles erickson needs justice. This is another fellow who would you say convicted. He was. Hes the main accuser here in this case. But the same evidence that was kept from ryan was also kept from Charles Erickson. And there is a lot of evidence that he came to his story because he was fed information by police. Its a sad case it is. And he needs justice. He doesnt belong in prison. But he certainly needs help. He needs representation. I think he is going to file an appeal. First he has to get rid of this guilty plea. He pled guilty because of course he good that he got a deal to testify. So he has to get rid of that. Good that, he got a deal to testify. So he has to get rid of that. His will be harder because he quote unquote confessed. Its been incredible following your story story. And a pleasure to meet you. Thank you so much.

When you were first approached about playing the role of carrie you said it scared you. Are you still scared . Yeah. Because im still interested you know. I think she is a truly fundamentally moral person. And she always does the right and courageous thing and, you know no matter what. No matter what, yeah. Youre a traitor and terrorist and now its time for pay for that. How many seasons of homeland . I dont know. I dont know. There will be another one. Well see. Im around. Fascinating woman. Isnt she . The actress as well as the character. I want to interview the character because shes so complex. And good writing and good characters make good series and good television.
