Transcripts For KYW CBS Evening News With Scott Pelley 20140909

Has caught up. Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Schieffer good evening, im Bob Schieffer. Since the horrible tape surfaced yesterday, a Baltimore Ravens running back ray rice beating his thenfiance, theres been a torrent of criticism that the National Football league had been insensitive to the whole issue of domestic violence. Rice was fired by the ravens and suspended indefinitely but not permanently by the league, but questions have been building about how much the league knew and when officials knew it. Late today, commissioner Roger Goodell gave his first interview, and Norah Odonnell of cbs this morning, got it. Norah. Reporter bob, commissioner Roger Goodell was adamant that no one, he says, in the nfl had seen this second videotape before monday. He called it new evidence, and he said its the reason they decided to suspend ray rice indefinitely. When did you first learn about this second tape . Yesterday morning. I got into the office, and our staff had come to me and said theres no evidence. Theres a video that you need to see. And i watched it then. Reporter did you know that a second tape existed . Well, we had not seen any videotape of what occurred in the elevator. We assumed that there was a video. We asked for video. But we were never granted that opportunity. Reporter so did anyone in the nfl see the second videotape before monday . No. Reporter no one in the nfl. No one in the nfl, to my knowledge, and ive been asked that same question, and the answer to that is no. Reporter how is it that the nfl couldnt get their hand on this second tape, but a web site called tmz could . Well, i dont know how tmz, or any other web site gets their information. We are particularly reliant on law enforcement. Thats the most reliable. Its the most credible. And we dont seek to get that information from sources that are not credible. Reporter the question becomes did the nfl drop the ball ors of the nfl willfully ignorant about what was on this tape . Well, we certainly didnt know what was on the tape, but we have been very open and honest, and i have, also, from two weeks ago, when i acknowledged that we didnt get this right. Thats my responsibility, and im accountable for that. Reporter but what changed . I mean, on the first tape, she was lying unconscious on the ground being drabd out. Did you really need to see a videotape of ray rice punching her in the face to make this decision . No. We certainly didnt. And i will tell you that what we saw on the first videotape was troubling to us in and of itself. But what we saw yesterday was extremely clear, is extremely graphic, and it was sickening. And thats why we took the action we took yesterday. Reporter what does that mean that he was suspended indefinitely . Does that mean ray rice will never play in the nfl again . I dont rule that out. But he would have to make sure that we are fully confident that he is addressing this issue clearly. He has paid a price for the actions that hes already taken. Schieffer so ray rice could return to football possibly . Reporter well, you heard the commissioner say, i dont rule that out. He clearly would have to show that hes taken some additional steps, so thats clearly going to get some attention. Schieffer and the commissioners own status, did he say anything about that . Reporter well, there have been some calls for commissioner goodell to step down. I asked film if he feels like his job is on the line. And he said, no, im use to the criticism. Im used to that. Every day i have to earn my stripes, he said. Schieffer thank you very much, norah. Reporter thanks, bob. Schieffer and you can see much more of norahs interview with commissioner goodell first thing tomorrow on cbs this morning. The woman that rice assaulted is now his wife, janay palmer. Today she essentially told everyone to butt out out. On instagram she defended rice. He lashed out at the media and to the public writing , to make us relive the moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing. To take something away from the man i love just to gain ratings is horrific. Well, that video has focused attention on domestic violence, but too often it goes unreported. Elaine quijano found many victims feel they have no choice but to stay with an abusive partner, and we caution you, some of the images in her report are disturbing. Reporter this is what happened to 38yearold Angela Brower the day she tried to leave her abusive boyfriend. He punched me in the eye with every bit of force he had and it knocked me unconscious roasht the beating left brower with multiple bruises, a broken nose and broken eye socket. The Tennessee Woman posted pictures of her injury on facebook. It helped me to see what the man i loved had done to me, and then after all the responses i got and all of the messages and and all of the other women responding the way they did, i continued to put my pictures on facebook to make other women aware that this is not what love looks like. Reporter every minute, 20 americans are victims of physical violence by a partner or spouse. Thats 10 Million People a year, according to the cdc. 85 of them are women. Lil corcoralil corcoran runs a s shelter in northern new jersey. You dont like it when people ask, why did she say . Why dont you like it when people ask that question. When we join in that sort of pileon, were kind of just reinforcing this idea that there must be something wrong with her, she must be stupid. Why cant she figure this out . And i like to see the focus change on whats wrong with him . Why does he do this . If someone pushes him to the point where he feels he needs to hit them, why doesnt he leave . Reporter corcoran says the most dangerous time for a woman in an abusive relationship is the period when she tries to leave. Its why Angela Brower believes her boyfriend tried to kill her. I would tell any woman that the first sign of abuse, walk away. Because it never gets any better. It always gets worse with each occurrence. Reporter victims advocates tell us many women do leave their abusers, but they stress, before leaving, there has to be a safety plan in place, bob, so the situation doesnt go from dangerous to deadly. Schieffer all right, well, thanks, elaine. President obama will address the nation tomorrow evening about his strategy for defeating isis. That is the Sunni Muslim Group thats been carrying out a campaign of terror across iraq and syria and beheaded two american journalists. The president briefed the leaders of congress at the white house today in advance of the speech. We have a series of reports tonight. First chief White House Correspondent major garrett. Major. Reporter bob, in a 70minute meeting, president obama told the congressional leaders he has all the Legal Authority he needs to carry out his strategy against isis and doesnt need a congressional vote but he did ask congress in the coming days to give him 500 million and the Legal Authority to train syrian fighters battling isis within that country. Afterwards, House Speaker john boehner said he would support air strikes targeting isis leaders and sending more u. S. Military advisers to iraq. The pentagon has recommended both to the president. Now, tomorrows speech appears short on specifics. There will be no timetable for defeating isis and no cost estimates for the emerging military campaign. The president may use the address to announce an expansion of the air war into syria. Hes been considering that option for the better part of two weeks. Bob, senior white house officials stress that u. S. Military action alone will not defeat isis. The United States will need help from a stillevolving International Coalition that will include the iraqi government, the syrian rebels, kind of outmatched militarily and underarmed; and help from neighboring countries, including but not limited to turkey, saudi arabia, and the united arab emirates. Schieffer okay, major, thank you. The United States was drawn back into iraq when isis began to overrun kurdistan in the north. The massacre of refugees and the threat to the kurdish capital erbil triggered the u. S. Air strikes against isis targets. Scott pelley is in erbil tonight on assignment for 60 minutes. Scott. Pelley bob, tonight, the kurdish government here is asking the United States to greatly expand the air strikes and to rush heavy weapons into the fight. We spoke to the head of intelligence for the kurdish government, a man who knows isis better than just about anyone. Masrour barzanis Intelligence Service helps pick the targets for u. S. Pilots in support of Kurdish Forces on the ground. Are the u. S. Air strikes now enough to defeat isis . I think its very useful and we are very thankful to everything that the u. S. Is doing so far, but i dont think its enough. We believe that the strikes should target the nerve system and the leadership of isis, wherever they may be. Pelley i think youre talking about syria. Even in syria. Pelley you would like to see u. S. Air strikes in syria. We do, yes. Pelley barzani told us the kurds are talking to the white house about major support for the kurdish army, known as the peshmerga. We are asking the United States that they should help the peshmergas with heavy armament. Pelley are we talking about tank tanks and artillery . Why not, yes, tanks, helicopters, heavy armaments, because these are very important. Pelley mraps are armored troop carriers and the peshmerga we met looked like they could use them. There was evidence of a battle won, but all of the weapons they reloaded were light no artillery, no effective armor. You can imagine how they feel about the sound of american jets. Thank you, america. Thank you, obama. Pelley iraq had been building a future, but its aspirations are now occupied by a past it cannot escape. We found families, whats left of them, running from isis brand of religious extremism. Nadia told us the men of her village were herded behind a school. There was shooting, and a boy came to tell the women what he saw. What did the little boy say . All the men were being killed but we didnt believe him because he was just a little boy. With the men, more than 100 in a mass grave, nadia told us the women were loded into dump trucks and taken to a city to be given away as prize prizes to is soldiers. She escaped. She told us, my friends are all captive. I dont know anything about my brothers. But most of all, i want my mother. Tell them i just want my mother. As the intelligence minister said at the beginning of the story, the safe haven for isis is centered in syria. One of the most experienced reporters in the region is holly williams, and she is on the syrianturkish border for us tonight where she is finding a change in the support for isis there. Holly. Reporter scott, there has been a dramatic change since early this year. When we spoke to syrians in this area back then, many of them told us that they supported isis because it was fighting against the syrian regime. They said that isis was trying to help people and that it wasnt using violence to enforce strict islamic law. But that has now all changed. Many syrians are now simply too frightened to speak to us for fear of retribution, and when they do talk about isis they mention executions and beatings, and many syrians now say while they still hate the syrian president bashar al assad, isis is much worse than his regime ever was. Pelley thanks, holly. And now with the rest of the days news, well leave erbil, iraq, and return to Bob Schieffer in new york. Bob. Schieffer thank you very much, scott.

Reporter the apple watch will have style, but it will work only in conjunction with apples iphone. Iphone 6. Reporter with the iphone 6 unveiled today, apple adds yet another feature. And now id like to talk about an entirely new category of service, and its all about the wallet. Reporter apple wants the iphone to replace credit cards. The company is launching a mobile Payment System that would allow consumers to make purchases simply by tapping their phones. But it comes just a week after the companys icloud service was linked to the theft of nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other female celebritys. Is it going to be tough to convince consumers to pay with their phone . Industry analyst ross rubin says what the Company Calls apple pay can be more secure than credit cards. Your credit card number is never it wily transmitted. Apple pay comes up with a temporary number for use on a casebycase base. Reporter apple says credit card issuers like visa, mastered card, and American Express have all agreed to use the mobile Payment System along with major banks and large retailers, including macys and whole foods.
