Im stuck. President obama says that he will act before the end of the year on immigration through executive orders. I indicated to Speaker Boehner that if, in fact, congress failed to act, thats going to happen. Every Administration Needs this, needs that. If he wants to go off on his own, there are things hes not going to get. Nice to see you. Another black eye for the secret service. A devastating report describing confusion, the communication failure that allowed fence jumper Omar Gonzalez to get all the way into the white house. A new audio message from abu bakr al baghdadi. The isis leader now threatening, quote, volcanic jihad. Another ebola patient is headed to the u. S. For treatment. The doctor is expected at the Nebraska Medical Center on saturday.

Very harmful to speak that way to the president. On cbs this morning. After more than 50 votes against obamacare, the republican majority is now promising to fix the law just like when you try to murder someone 50 times and it doesnt work, so you buy them a gym membership. Announcer this mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. Gayle king is getting ready for the hollywood film awards. And shell join us later. Look at that set. Fancy. Oh, my goodness. Sharyn alfonsi of 60 minute sports is with us. Overnight, president obama issued a new challenge to republicans on the hot button issue of immigration. He wants to protect millions of undocumented immigrants from being deported. His immigration proposal would allow many of those people to work legally. The news is getting a furious response from republicans in congress. Major garrett is in myanmar where the president raised the stake, in the battle over immigration. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. President stood with human rights icon Aung San Suu Kyi on the back porch of her residence. Speaking of the pacing of things, mr. Obama said hes almost ready to sidestep congress and launch Immigration Reform by executive order. President obama emerged from Aung San Suu Kyis home. To confront anger over his vow to prevent millions from deportation. The gop, he said, has only itself to blame. They have the ability to fix the system. What they dont have the ability to do is expect me to stand by with a broken system in perpetuity. The president is considering protecting up to 5 million undocumented adults, many parents of u. S. Born children or socalled dreamers. Children brought here illegally but grew up in america. Mr. Obama exempted dreamers from deportation in june of 2012. Republicans urged the president to back off. The president has been told other and over and over again, and were telling him again today, dont do this. Wed like the president to recognize the reality of the government he has, not the one he wishes he had. A top adviser to president obama said its not an option. Gop threats trying to block funds for the executive action will not intimidate mr. Obama. I would advise if, in fact they want to take a different approach, rather than devote a lot of time trying to constrain my lawful action, as the chief executive of u. S. Government in charge of enforcing our immigration laws that they spend some time passing the bill. The president awaits final recommendations from the department of homeland security, but mr. Obama, who has delayed this move once, knows the options well. As one top adviser put it, this isnt like the Academy Awards where the president is presented an envelope and he doesnt know whats inside. Sharyn . Thanks. Major. We spotted joe clancy traveling with the president in myanmar. Back in the u. S. , his agency is dealing with new fallout of the Security Breach at the white house back in september. Thats when the secret service failed to stop a fence jumper. Homeland security investigators found a long list of errors. Bill plante is at the white house where the intruder was a famili figure. Good morning, bill. Reporter good morning, and good morning to our viewers in the west. Omar gonzalez was already well known to the secret service. Hed been questioned twice in the two weeks before he jumped the fences. On the evening that he did scale the fence, Uniformed Secret Service officers recognized him around the white house but had no reason to detain him. Everybody out, right now. Go back. Reporter the report says gonzalez ignored officers shouting at him as he cleared the fence and sprinted across the north lawn, setting off alarms. But cross talk and a wrong setting garbled radio transmissions. Foliage obscured the view of other officers. The Emergency Response team had gonzalez in their rifle sites but they decided lethal force was uncalled for since he appeared unarmed. An officer with a dog was stationed in a van on the driveway. He was on a personal cell phone call without his agency radio ear piece in place and was unaware of the alarms. When he did see gonzalez and ordered to attack, gonzalez ducked in front of the bushes outside the white house. Outside the white house doors another officer aimed his weapon at gonzalez but saw that he appeared unarmed and did not fire. By the time the officer realized the doors were unlocked, gonzalez was inside the white house. The female on duty just inside the door attempted to take gonzalez down but was unable to do so because the army veteran then overpowered her. He then moved past the staircase to the familys living quarters and entered the east room before a uniformed officer and two special offduty agents brought him down. The report summary concludes officers did not receive adequate training because of staffing shortages and it blames lack of radio discipline along with aging infrastructure for Communications Failures it spokesman ed donovan says the secret service is putting into place change in training staffing communications and intelligence gathering. But members of congress are not satisfied. One of them called the episode a comedy of errors. Norah . Bill, thank you. The leader of isis calls the United States terrified and weak from new audio recordings. Apparently from abu bakr al baghdadi. He also promises, quote, volcanos of jihad. The new threats come after reports that isis teamed up with a rival al qaeda affiliate. The Associated Press says isis and al nu sra front. Former cia deputy mike morell, a cbs senior news contributor joins us from naples, florida. Good morning, mike. Good morning, charlie. Is this true and what does it mean . So, charlie, right now theres just two sources reporting this agreement between al nusra and isis so well have to wait and see. But if it is true it is very significant. Because these two groups have occasionally fought each other over the last year. An agreement to stop that fighting would allow them them to focus more on the moderate opposition and fighting assad. It also, i think, increases the risk of a terrorist threat in the United States because it brings together al nusras explosive capabilities sophisticated explosive capabilities, with isiss foreign fighters they could send back to the United States. This is worrisome. I wonder how this complicates u. S. Efforts in syria and also if theyre joining forces to defeat assad, then whats assad doing to try to take them out . So, norah, one of the things that i think is happening right now is that the white house is going to take another look at our policy in syria, take another look at what we should be doing in syria. And i think theyre looking at two things. I think theyre looking at to what extent should we go after isis and al nusra. Remember, the plan was to go after isis first in iraq and then deal with syria. I think theyre now going to look at should we be going after isis and al nusra now. The other thing theyll look at is should we be going after assad more aggressively since hes the guy who started the whole thing. You mean it would be a twopart war on our part, assad and isis . So thats what theyre considering, charlie. We heard secretary hagel and dempsey saying in congress yesterday saying the war is just beginning there. How much longer do you think our involvement there, how long do we stay, how much deeper do we get . When this whole thing started, the president said this was going to take a long time. Thats absolutely right. I think were look at years of effort in both iraq and syria. All right, thanks. Michael morell this morning. Well, it is warmer this morning in barrow, alaska, along the arctic ocean than it is in much of the United States. Snow is on the ground from coast to coast. Heavy snow fell around philadelphia last night as commuters tried to get home. Up to a foot of new snow is also causing trouble for drivers in northeast ohio. Some parts of wisconsin will receive 40 inches this week. A storm caused problems outside of oregon. That snow is headed toward the rockies this morning. Meteorologist Danielle Niles of our cbs station wbz is tracking it all. Danielle, good morning. Good morning, charlie. Good morning to our viewers in the west. A big story today, freeze warnings down to the gulf coast states. Cold and snow another story as well it Winter Weather advisories in the central part of the country and winter storm warnings from the rockies to portions of the cascades where snow will continue to spread east. Tomorrow morning, from south dakota back down through kansas and nebraska periods of snow will impact travel through the saturday afternoon and evening time frame in the midwest. Eventually spreading east through the great lakes. And into portions of new england by the time we get to sunday night. Snowfall totals, less in the valleys. Generally about 1 to 3 inches. When you get into the high terrain, well talk about 3 to 6 inches and even 6 or more high temperatures today topping out in the 50s but 40s back up in seattle and only in the teens in portions of the northern plains. Danielle, thank you. Another american will be treated for ebola in the United States. Sources tell cbs news a plane is on the way to sierra leone to pick up a doctor who contracted the disease there. The patient should arrive in Nebraska Medical Center in omaha tomorrow. He would be the hospitals third ebola case. A top nato commander said russian tanks and troops are moving into eastern ukraine. Moscow denies those claims. The Development Comes after russia announced new air force training exercises near United States borders. David martin is at the pentagon with the militarys response. Good morning. Reporter good morning. When russias defense minister announced plans for these new longrange bomber patrols, he linked them specifically to tensions over ukraine, telling the u. S. In effect if you meddle in our backyard well meddle in yours. U. S. Military officers say russian bombers flying patrols over the caribbean and gulf of mexico would be more of an in your face message than an actual military threat. Its never happened before. During the cold war, soviet aircraft flew Reconnaissance Missions but never bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons. Once in 2008 and again in 2013 blackjack bombers flew to nicaragua and venezuela, but those were window dressings for visits from highlevel delegations. The announcement comes as president obama and russias president putin are set to attend the same summit this weekend in australia. Both men surely know having bombers circle around to the south of the u. S. Doesnt make much military sense. The bombers and their refueling tankers could be tracked all the way across the atlantic leaving plenty of time to scramble interceptor jets. Benjamin friedman is a Research Fellow at the cato institute. Politically its important. It shows that russia is trying to show its relevance and poke its finger in the u. S. s eye, look, were still here, you have to deal with us. Plan for it. Reporter as long as they stay outside the limit that marks u. S. Air space. Once last year a russian bomber came within 50 miles of california. Theres no indication yet when these new patrols would begin or how often they would be conducted. Norah . All right, david. Thank you. The price of gas dropped again overnight. The National Average for a gallon of regular is 2. 91. Thats 70 cents lower than in june when it was 3. 68.

Gone are the days of 4 a gallon gas. Since the summer consumers have watched fuel prices plunge to levels not seen since 2008. Tom closa is an analyst for Oil Price Information service. If youre using heating oil, theyre looking at a winter where they may spend 500 less than last winter. And gasoline theyre probably saving somewhere on the order of 50 or 60 a month. Reporter closa says consumers are also beginning to save in other ways. Some companies are now removing those fuel sur charges passed on to customers back when gas prices were rising. Just last month, taxis in miami eliminated fuel sur charges added in 2008. In texas, dropping fuel sur charges for customers. And shipping giant matson announced they would lower sur fuel charges by 5 from chicago to hawaii. Anything not breathing we pretty much will move it. Reporter brad is president of ground force logistics, a Freight Transportation Company in new york that moves 6 Million Pounds of cargo each day to and from americas ports. As costs go down our prices go down. It directly influences our cost and our pricing. Reporter allowing the Retail Market to ease up on charges normally passed on to shoppers.

People who live paycheck to paycheck are the ones that get some sticker shock on the way up and theyre the ones that are the greatest beneficiaries on the way down. Reporter and Barclays Bank is already forecasting that American Consumers could have more than 70 billion to spend next year because of savings on gas. Sharyn . All right, jericka, thanks. A monthslong standoff. That held the book industry spellbound is over this morning. Amazon and the publicing Company Hachette announced a deal. Thursday. It sets a longrunning argument over who will set book prices and how to share prices. Elaine quijano shows us the settlement could benefit authors and amazon customers. Elaine, good morning. Thats correct. Amazon has dominated the ebook market for years and some say thats given the company tremendous power to negotiate tough terms with publishers. Authors watching this fight say it sill bombizes the bigger battle over the future of book business. The fight between amazon and the publishing Company Hachette which represents popular authors like j. K. Rowling and James Patterson is now in the books. In a joint statement amazon and hachette announced a multiyear contract ending a drawnout dispute over how ebooks should be priced and how to split the profit. Both sides say the deal allows the publisher to set the prices of their ebooks while also giving them an incentive to keep prices low for amazon shoppers. I was very relieved. Reporter bestselling author doug preston says sales of his new book blue libabyrinth were affected by amazons elaborate decision they often have pages that would try to redirect buyers to other books. Reporter another big name author Stephen Colbert has used his popular comedy show to mock the ongoing fight. Ill tell you what, amazon. Ive got a Little Package for you right here. Wait a second. Here it is. Reporter amazon controls nearly twothirds of the ebook market, giving it significant leverage in negotiations. Publishers say low ebook prices affect hard cover sales which in turn hurt book stores. Publishers want book stoshs to continue to exist. Amazon wants the book stores to disappear. Both amazon and hachette had similar assessments to come to an agreement. Were heading into the lucrative Holiday Shopping season and both companies have had less than inspiring earnings in recent months. All right, elaine. Thank you. It is 7 19.
