Reporter good morning, the biggest oil reserves have been shut down as long as militants capture new territory. The extremists have posted more videos online showing gruesome acts of violence. Internet video that appeared to capture islamic militants carrying out summary executions in areas they now control in iraq. The extremists known as isis asked sunni muslims but these men are shiites. The militants taunt this man at gunpoint. In another video hes shown dead. Its too disturbing for to us broadcast on television. The extremists seized mosul, iraqs second biggest city, last week. And announced theyd impose strict islamic law. Hundreds of thousands of people fled, but now many are heading back. Like the militants most people in mosul are sunni muslims. And they told us they believe isis is not targeting civilians.

With us from brian, texas, is ryan crocker, he was the American Ambassador to george w. Bush and president obama. Hes now a professor at texas a m university. Ambassador crocker, good morning. Good morning. We have worked with the iranians before. And you were part of the conversations then. How can we cooperate now . We as worked with the iranians in afghanistan just before and after the fall of the taliban, so, you know, its something we can do. But both of us need to be careful. This is a sectarian struggle. And if we are seen as cooperating too closely with iran, it is going to further alienate the sunni element of the iraqi population. So its good were talking. We just have to be careful. What restraints would you like to see what iran does with iraq . First, not to exacerbate the situation. In other words, not to support extremist shia militias. Weve already seen some indications of sectarian strife moves into baghdad, with the murder overnight of some sunni young men. What the iranians need to do is use all of their influence and effort to see that the isis effort to exacerbate a sectarian war do not succeed by a shia reaction. Ambassador, the president notified congress through the war powers resolution that we would be sending 275 troops to iraq. Does this mean a deeper involvement of the u. S. Military in iraq . No, not at all, norah. These small number of marines are going to iraq to support the defense of the embassy. Not for any other purpose that im aware of. And what should secretary kerry be doing, should he be in the region . Secretary kerry in my view should be on a plane right now for baghdad. The focus has been on the conflict, that is indeed serious. But, you know, diplomacy is what is crucial right now. We need to work with the iraqis at the highest level. That would be secretary kerry, backed by the president. So that they can demonstrate the national unity, kurdish, sunni and shia, that is going to be essential, if there is going to be any hope of turning back the isis threat. Ambassador crocker, has the United States and the Obama Administration failed to pay sufficient attention to iraq since american troops left . I would have liked to have seen more sustained highlevel diplomatic engagement with the iraqis. This is a very young democracy, that has a lot of challenges. We are hardwired into their political system. We helped create it. We cant walk away from it. So i would have preferred, since 2011, to see us more deeply and intensively engaged at the highest levels of government. I dont think its too late, but we better move now. Ambassador crocker, thank you. And the u. S. Is in great shape at the world cup after last nights thrilling 21 victory over ghana. Millions of americans are celebrating this morning.

The Supreme Court is stepping into debate with free spanish with a 21st century twist with justices decided how social media is protected. The case involves a pennsylvania man sentenced to nearly four years in prison. He posted a violent ramp on the facebook. One said im not going to rest until your body is a mess, soaked in blood and dieing from all the cuts. End of quote. Legal analyst jack ford is here. Good morning. Why is the Supreme Court getting involved . Thats a good question. The Supreme Court rarely gets involved. Ill bet theyll hear 70 or 80 cases so there has to be something here that grabs their attention. Clearly what theyre saying here, they want to take a look. Doesnt mean theyll change anything. But they want to take a look at the boundaries of free speech. Especially now where theyre talking about social media. Because its so much different, obviously, than when the law was evolving over the last two decades or so. Does it matter that he says, i never intended to do this. Its just words . Thats the whole thing. As things evolve, generally, we dont punish thoughts or words. We punish conduct. But there are exceptions. And the laws evolved when at wo is what would a reasonable person feel . The person on the other end. Would a reasonable person under the circumstances generally feel threatened . And if they would, then somebody could be convicted. What attorneys are saying, we need to change that. Now, communication used to be person to person, a phone call, email or letter. Theyre saying now, you hit send on were you of these platforms where people go to rant and rave, and theyre saying its different. So now the argument is, the standard should be what was the intent of the person who said those words . So that would be a big shift if the Supreme Court decides to follow it. Generally, free speech is protected by the First Amendment but is there anything that the Supreme Court has done recently that suggests theyre willing to face that or jut want to get involved on social media . Well the standard was always, the Supreme Court said free speech is expected except when you yell fire. If theres no fire, its not protected. Words can be ranting and raving with no intent. They can be harmful, they can be difficult, but are they going to be criminal . And thats where theyre trying to figure out the difficulty is with reasonable intent. Exactly. We look for the reasonable person but does that mean youd have the same reaction to it that i would have to it . Thats why theyre trying to argue. I dont know what the court is going to do that nobody knows what the court is going to do until they tell us. But the argument is you should look at the persons intent rather than the recipient of those words. Gun control supporter, celebrating a victory this morning. The Supreme Court upheld a federal ban on straw purchases. Thats when a person buys a firearm for someone else who could have bought one for themselves legally. The law came on the same day Richard Martinez arrived in washington to promote stricter gun laws. His son was killed last month in a shooting rampage. He blames it on inaction of politicians.

Not this time now that her doctor switched her to onceaday xarelto®, mary can leave those monthly trips behind. Domestic flight . Not today like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk.

So mary is free of that monitoring routine. For patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Spinach . Grazie plus, with no known dietary restrictions, mary can eat the Healthy Foods she likes. Dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop.

Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling.

Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures.

However, it is starting to lift out. The sunshine will do its part to get rid of that. But, eventually, because were off to pretty warm start, we heat up easily to 91 degrees, thats again, for philadelphia, it wont be quite as hot in the surrounding suburbs, but still pretty toasty. Maybe just spotty storm here tonight. Most of russ generally just cloudy, tomorrow, though, is the hottest, with high of 93, and eventually, some potential for some severe werth as well.

Reporter good morning, residents in the tiny town of pilger are being kept from their homes last night, but theyre being led back in to assess the damage. This is what theyll find, complete destruction, not just one, but two tornadoes ripped through the area, killing a 5yearold and injuring more than a dozen other people. Its hard to tell these are homes until you look through the debris. You can see a recliner. Childrens toys, bedrooms. Even a telephone pole snapped like a tree. The wildfire continues raging after claiming more than 17 square miles of land.

For war veterans the news of that country is especially tough to face. Some of the men and women are now wonderinging if theyre hard work and sacrifice mean anything now. Jan, good morning to you. Good morning, gayle. You know its been 2 1 2 years since the last combat troops left iraq, and talking to these veterans who sacrificed so much, who saw so much loss, its heartbreaking. Reporter when former army captain blake hall left iraq in 2007 he remembers being hopeful. Iraq had an opportunity for a longtime political reconciliation. Reporter two years later, matt pealock had a similar feeling when his service was over. He saw progress among the iraqi people that his unit trained. You see more iraqi people on the streets. You got the feeling maybe theyre getting their act together. Reporter but they also were realistic and fearful about the challenges ahead. Since i left the country, its been slowly flipping towards this exact moment. But you could see it coming. Reporter now, as the situation in iraq deteriorates many veterans like hall and pealock are questioning what their service accomplished. Was it a mistake to go into iraqy. I think so. Reporter and was it a mistake to leave . Yes. Reporter how do you reconcile it . Well, you break it, you buy it, right. I lost my friends. I want their deaths to mean something. I want my service over there to meaning in. Reporter in the nineyear war, 4400 troops died in iraq. More than 32,000 were wounded. And the u. S. Spent more than 1 trillion. Its hard to justify that when you cant put a city on the road map. Reporter but since 2008, president obama made bringing the troops home a priority. As president , i will end this war in iraq. Reporter the last American Service members left iraq in december 2011. But the u. S. Withdrawal came at a cost, leaving an opening for radical terror groups. If you start to make decisions without understanding the longterm consequences, you put the United States of america in a worse position. And thats frustrating for all of us who fought in these wars. Reporter its frustrating a word you would use . I can put it in words. Its a blend of anger. Its a blend for loss of our guys and what they did. And sadness for all that are lost. But there is no word that capture the emotion of having seen americans sacrificed the way theyve sacrificed. And yet, nothing come of it it. Now, hall said that he thinks that neither the bush or Obama Administration really has had a strategy for iraq. And this is the result. He said he would go back there today if it would mean if his fellow soldiers had not died in vain. All right. A lot of veterans are feeling conflicted. It began after fallujah was recaptured. Very hard to hear his words. And people who have fought this Insurgent Army say they are very experienced and resourceful. Our Elizabeth Palmer went to syria and talked with a government soldier about the battle inside the city of homs. Reporter are the people of mosul facing this sort of destruction i asked if the iraqi army takes on isis there . Isis is much better armed he says, it will be worse in mosul.

The worlds biggest Credit Reporting firm faces a lawsuit this morning. The state of mississippi claims that experian knowingly included wrong information in the credit files of millions of americans and routinely broke laws. Cbs news only lift Jill Schlesinger is here. Good morning. What are they accused of doing . First of all, this is a lawsuit by the state of mississippi only. What theyre saying experian had no procedures in place to make sure credit was reported accurately. And the methodology for correcting errors were anticonsumer. It almost made it impossible for consturms actually correct an error once they found it. What would they do . So, for example, you might say, i got something in the mail from a lender who says i cant get my loan because im dead. One instance is a guy had said im not dead. Im here. He thought it was funny in the beginning but when it came down for getting a truck loan he couldnt get it it for the lowest rate. Its hard for him to do this. Its almost as if people are ending up on tris waterrorist w lists. And there are a lot of problems and difficult to correct. Experian provided a statement saying we feel this lawsuit is not based on facts and we intend to vigorously defend our company. To say we are knowingly put errors on reports is false and up supported by evidence and clearly calculated to be sensational. It affects people in different parts of your life. When you go for a loan, if theres an error on your report your score may be lower than expected. So it could be you i dont get my loan. It could be that i have to pay a higher Interest Rate on my loan. It affects people with background checks. Maybe youre not going to get a job. A landlord can pull credit in many states to get that. I think these are important cases. So how do you find out if your Credit Report has been compromised . You can get a free copy every year at annual Credit Report. Com. The Consumer Protection bureau says that fewer than 20 do that. Annual Credit Report. Com. You dont want to wait until youre getting a loan to do it. Were going to start writing it down. Annual Credit Report. Com. Who they are . An agency that the federal Government Works for, and by the way, its free. You dont want to pay for these. You know that singing pirates commercial . Not those guys. Is this just an admission that they didnt provide safe guards or is someone maliciously putting information on your report . Well, that remains to be seen. It keys on the word knowingly. Thats a very weighty word. The Consumer Protection bureau is trying to crack down. 31,000 complaints about Credit Reports. Three quarters of them complaining about trying to get errors erased. You know what, this is a big issue and somebodys got to get involved. To say, norah, youre on a terror watch list. Im not sure that it would be anything that the error was raised and it wasnt corrected and they knowingly allowed it to move forward. Like someone can file a lien against you like a neighbor. A lot can show up on your Credit Report. Remember, it follows you wherever you go, especially kids coming out of college. Super important to monitor your credit. Jill, thanks so much. Annual Credit Report. Com. The controversy over common core is helping opponents find common ground. But education secretary arne duncan is h good morning, everyone, im neck old brewer. Update now on developing story we have been following all morning long, out every wilmington, delawarement the body after man that was killed in a fire and Building Collapse removed from the home short time ago. It was a two alarm fire that swept through that building. One man was killed, two other women were injured, and taken to area hospitals. There is no word on the cause that far fire. We are looking ahead to very warm day, go ahead, call it hot one. Looking at more sunshine, throughout the day today to help easily heat things up even though handful of showers rolling through new jersey earlier this morning, long since retreated taught sea, but still left with little bit of fog, and at the moment, i can tell this much, the sun really doing its part to help not just heat things up but also sort of scour out the fog. Really matter of time before we all have that full sunshine, again it will be hot one, 91 degrees the expected high in philadelphia, first time weve hit 09 or great they are year, spotty thunderstorm, cant be ruled out tonight, i think most of russ dry, and it is really just going to be mostly cloudy and muggy night low of 73. Tomorrow actually the hottest day, also looking at the potential for Severe Weather through the second half of the day as next system starts to advance. Victoria, over to you. Thank you, unfortunately, we are dealing with some very serious accidents, lets start first with the schuylkill expressway, 76, headed westbound, approaching the area of montgomery drive.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Coming up in this half hour, you can drive or walk this way across more than 600,000 bridges in america. But in australia, tourists prefer to climb the most spectacular bridge. Lee cowan introduces us to the town leading the path to adventure. Right now, the morning headlines. The Washington Post said the fda is moving forward with the longawaited plan to crack down on salt. Lowering sodium can prevent Heart Disease and stroke. New jersey star ledger said comedian tracy morgan is now in fair condition after that crash. Morgans legs were hit and broken when his limo was hit by a semi bus. And also reports that morgans personality is starting to come back. The new york yost, kim jongun proudly inspected one of the countrys submarines. A similar north korean sub sank in 1985. And first daughter malia obama may have her sights set on hollywood. She was spotted works as a production assistance on halle berrys new show ex tant. She was reported as saying this is a really big deal. Do you think shell come here to talk to us about . No. Maybe halle berry will. And opponents firing from both ends of the political spectrum. All but four states initially adopted the new unified standard for reading and math but over the last few months, 13 states repealed the program or delayed the implementation. Arne duncan is with us. In a moment, well look at why common core was created. The reaction ranges from critics to steven colbert. His kids go to a Public School in new york. They decided theres a new way kids should think and well prove their thinking by having them pass these tests or we burn the school down. So, then i look at the problems and its like bill has three goldfish, he buys two more, how many dogs live in london . [ laughter ] just look at this math question from the common core homework sheet. Jack used the number line below to solve 427316. Find his error. Then write a letter to jack to tell him what he did right and what he should do to fix his mistake. That teaches two skills, math and passive aggressive note writing. Welcome. Tell us where common core came from and whats the problem . Common core is a stateled initiative, governors, republican and democrat, saying we need to raise standards. Theyve been working on this for years. Been voluntarily adopted by states. Basically, we want kids to think critically, to solve problems. It looks like Stephen Colbert do not believe its doing that . Well, very early on, its a set of standards. How you teach those standards, the curriculum is determine ted lower level. The parents say it kills innovation because the teaching isnt one size fits all. What do you say . Of course, teaching isnt one size fits all. I think the goal is for every child to be successful but we need to have a high bar. Historically, many states dummy down standards. They reduce standards. Why . To make politics look good. Thats terrible for our children. Thats terrible for our country. I think everybody agrees raising the sbar a good thing. Improving education is a good thing but this was divided even the Republican Party of jeb bush who supports common core. And then you have governor bobby jindal of louisiana who has detailed a bill thats a procommon core bill. He compares this to russiancentralized planning. Governor jindal was a passionate supporter before he was against it. Its about politics, not education. Thats the problem. Republican, democrat, ideology, we need to put that aside to be successful. Go to the point why people pose it oppose it. You obviously support it. Having high standards. Whats happened . Its in the challenge. And the question there, change is really, really hard. You see trying to move in the right direction. Graduation rates at an alltime high. Given the politics of things we want to go directly to the teachers. The teachers to implement common core, we asked one of the schools. Heres a question for from you dr. Lynnette alexander, the principle of the school in huntsville, alabama. What would the department of education do to ensure that the common core curriculum is an equalizer to all students expressed with a disadvantage . First of all, we cant touch curriculum at our levels. Thats done at the local levels. Incoming states to have high standards. When standards get dummied down. Its not the elite kids who get hit. Its the more disadvantaged kids that get hurt. Fighting against that, driving the agenda around equity and excellence we think is critical. Do have of it have merit . Raising the bar and Higher Standards is the right thing. How do implement Higher Standards, that takes work. Helping teachers that. Helping principals understand their role. This is going to take time to get to the right spot. The easy thing is to dummy things down. Where do we stand now with the state of education. Gayle and i were talked earlier about the increased rate of graduation . Were thrilled High School Graduation has reached an alltime time, 80 . Almost cut in half for latino students. College rates going way up. We want our children to be able to compete not just in our local communities or the United States, against children in china, india, singapore, south korea, making sure our children can thrive in a global economy. Thats what this is about. What is the single most element being able to achieve education goals that youd like to see americans have . Theres never one simple answer. I would say it all starts with Early Childhood information. If we can make sure our kinderg successful. If we have children who start it kindergarten a year, year and a half behind, too often they dont catch up. Thats avoidable. Im excited to hear Graduation Rates going up. Thats the first time ive heard that. Lots of hard work by students and their teachers and their families. Thank you, secretary duncan. Good to see you. Many brazilians cannot afford tickets to the world cup, but as you know, they still love the game so one program is bringing Sports Education and special programs to children in some of the toughest neighborhoods there. Elaine quijano met a man who is helping kids with big dreams. Shes at copacabana beach inuej. Reporter good morning. Soccer is more than just a national pastime, for some kids in one community that we visited, its also about instilling the right values. In the poor neighborhood of digial not far from rios world cup stadium, they have their sights set on the goal. How many of you dream about being a famous Soccer Player when you grow up. He said, i want to have a lot of fans. I want to have a nice house said one young player. He understands that passion. He runs an Afterschool Program that reaches out to kids through soccer. Its everything, he says, the children love soccer. They breathe soccer. Soccer for them is everything. Bentos program serves about 600 kids who come to play the game on the soccer pitch. But they also receive tutoring and counseling all as part of his program. We are a team that talks about everything, he explains. By some estimates, more than 20,000 people live in this Poor Community high above rio. Up narrow winding roads and down small alleys. Drug lords used to run the neighborhood. But three years ago, the government flooded the streets with military police. It was part of a coordinated effort across rio called passfication aimed at making it better. Today, residents still face poverty, poor schools and inaccurate health care but crime has gone down and the streets are safe for programs like this one. The children might dribble towards world cup dreams but palo vento believes its real. Study, study, he says, its easier for to you get somewhere by studying than by playing soccer. Palo was born and raised here. He started his program back in 1988. It used to be run entirely by volunteers but is now funded by the city of rio. Norah. Elaine, thank you. Even they get caught up in the world cup. Im amazed how big this game is except in this country. In the world, absolutely. All right. Ahead, bridging the gap between a dream and reality. Youll meet the man who created one of the worlds most exhilarating tourist we cross them every day, yet, we rarely stop to admire one of our bridges let alone take a closer look. But for often australian entrepreneur the iconic Sydney Harbour bridge is an obsession. Lee cowan shows us how that passion led to a Good Business decision. Reporter not all bridges have fan clubs, but australias Sydney Harbour bridge is a superstar in the superstructure world. After all, for most of us that famous arch, the gateway to the new year. But for paul cave, the Sydney Harbour bridge is personal. Just slightly. Beneath the bridge today reporter his fatherinlaw bought these very first train tickets to cross that bridge when it opened back in 1932. Its the centerpiece of pauls extensive and expensive collection of bridgerelated memorabilia. Some 4,000 artifacts in all. He even tracked down the sword used to cut the inaugural ribbon. We actually spent seven years looking for this. Reporter but having it wasnt enough. Paul wanted to touch the bridge, to feel it shake under his feet. So one day, he talked the bridge foreman into letting him climb the bridge. I was pretty nervous. I was petrified. Really, my knuckles, as my rubber shoes slid on those rails of that ladder. Reporter so mindblowing he spent years and much of his own money, trying to give others the same thrill. The result, the Sydney Harbour bridge club. An attraction Lonely Planet called one of the worlds biggest adrenaline rushes. As a tourist draw, it was great. We couldnt wait our turn. But as a business proposition, this was no easy task. The research and the homework took a lot longer than we thought it would. Reporter some ten years, in fact, figuring out the environmental, the historical and most of all safety issues involved. And all of these you got to design specifically for this . Yeah. Its really the culmination of the sort of equipment if youre cleaning windows on a building or a attached on a yacht. Reporter even the suit we were wearing were specially made to blend into the bridge, not to distract drivers as youre climbing. All of this, you havent installed this. The catwalks were here, right . Yes. Reporter paul essentially leases the bridge from the australian government. In exchange, he promised to use the tourist dollars to help to pay for its upkeep. It feels like im not supposed to be up here. He gets some 200,000 climbers a year who pay 250 a pop. This is the start, right . You get to the top by climbing 1400 steps the same ones used by bridge workers themselves. Beautiful. Surprisingly, its not really strenuous, unless youre afraid of heights. The view gets better and better. As we climb some 40 stories above the ware, we reach what everyone comes for. And were told, everyone says pretty much the same thing. Wow the view is unsurpassed. Add in the wind and the sound of the cars far below, and youve got the making of a memory. When you get up here, does this ever get old . It always pushes a button for me every time. Reporter had he listened all of those naysayers, this would have never happened. Its not the only bridge climb in the world, but this one is all passion. It was the pursuit of something that became an obsession, the pursuit of a journey, nice to get the wind and for it to happen. Reporter not the end of the journey. Just the time. For cbs this morning, im lee cowan, high above sydney. All right. That is an amazing experience. Youve done it, righty. You know, im terrified of heights. I dont know how you got that picture because its at home on my dresser. They strap you in that suit you that have to wear has no pockets, nothing, so nothing can get caught. I had to have a little session, i was very afraid. Once you can see youre totally safe, you guys would have no problem. Norah, you would need a harness. Im going to do it, on my bucket list. Will you . I will. Tomorrow, cbs this morning, csections performed too often.

High pressure still essentially rallying the roo roost for us, couple of showers, mom left over fog, situated down near the shore points specially, but shooting for lofts sunshine, and hot sizzling day at 91 degrees here.
